The Quiet Stone by Raspi.
Raspi and Raspi.
Raspi?
Raspi and Raspi.
From B2K?
He was the one with the juicy lips?
Yeah, he's the one who said he got touched.
Well, that's why his lips look like that.
Oh, come on, Marie.
You're so fucking stupid.
This is why we can't have...
I know what you want.
Raspi probably work at like a Foot Locker now.
That's why they got that song.
She in bump, bump, bump.
You know, he work at like a Planet Fitness now.
You know, when you think of, like, one-hit wonders, like, you think that they'd be at their jobs and, like, their song will randomly come on the radio sometimes.
Remember Jaquan?
Everybody in the club getting tipsy.
Oh, and that's a good song.
Okay, the problem is when I hear that song at the nightclub, I'm like, it's time to go.
Well, yeah, it comes on right before Candy Rain.
Yes, or they play it at the top because nobody's there.
And if you're there when they're playing it.
You're there too early.
Yeah, you got there at, like, 1030.
Yeah.
Doors didn't even really open.
The janitor is like.
But you see, you're saying 10.30, but we live in New York where things stay open until 6 o'clock in the morning.
In like Jersey and places like that, stuff shuts down at like midnight.
So we're leaving our house when they're leaving the club.
But you know why they shut down early?
Because y'all are animals.
Y'all don't know how to act.
After fucking 2 a.m., 3 a.m.
Savages.
Savages.
That's why they shut the shit down.
They're like, you know what?
I think I'm done with all my songs for the night.
And they just...
New Jersey people turn into gremlins after midnight.
They turn into Furbies.
This is hilarious because our guest is from New Jersey.
Yes.

Yes, Furby Teletubby.

Let's get
What is y'all
What do you mean what I'm doing?
Not y'all
I'm talking about
The Newark dude
Well at least I got walked
to Back to the Path.
Okay.
It's a lease.
But since you were
on the Jersey side
of the path.
You weren't on the
New York side of the path.
You were on the
New Jersey side.
He was on the
New Jersey side.
They get live down there.
They get live.
Did he pour Hennessy
on your naked body
when he was at a sex machine?
Treat yourself.
I feel like they don't
do Hennessy in Newark.
No, we do.
Y'all make y'all
homemade drinks.
They make bathtub brews.
We're more of a Remy crowd.
Y'all got moonshine.
I think Remy, VSOP is like top shelf.
Henny's starting to come back now, but nah, we ain't like that.
All right, let's get back into these cookouts, dudes.
So what drinks would you have at a cookout?
Yeah.
Drinks, I usually, I tell people to bring their own, but if I do have something.
Do you trust that?
Do you trust people to bring their own?
Like if they made the drink at home, you're not afraid?
No, don't bring any something that you made.
You can bring a bottle.
What?
I bought some jungle juice.
Where you want me to set it down?
Hey, Rufy and everybody at my cookout have everyone passed out.
Not at the park that he rented.
The park he rented.
I didn't know that people paid to rent the park.
How much does it cost?
A hundred.
For the day?
Yeah.
Everybody got to put in $2.
I feel like in Brooklyn, people just pull a grill out.
Yeah.
No one pays for anything here.
Nah, but like cops run up on you like, what are you going to do?
Oh, yeah, where your permit?
Yeah.
You got a permit?
Where your papers at?
You throw the grill at the cop and then you run to the car.
That's my spare grill
That's my good grill
That is one thing that amazes me about New York
Y'all can just pull up anywhere with a grill and start cooking
But you can't have a grill
In certain
Sections?
No, apartments
You can't have it on your roof
Some places, like some condos
You can't have a grill
Key word in that sentence is condos
In an apartment complex, you can do whatever you want
But in a condo
If there's a housing board, if there's a co-op board
Then yeah
But that doesn't make sense
If I'm paying for this place
Why can't I have my grill out
But are you paying sis
I'm asking real questions
For the listeners
So like
We have liquor and shit like that
But I tell people to bring that
Because if I'm going to supply the food
At least you can bring your own drink
I have juice and stuff
What kind of beverages you got
You got RC
You got cola
I go grab my mom's Costco
card and I go over there and I
try to, like, because I hate when, like, the one thing
I can't stand. I do it to other people, too.
Go to people's cookout and if they ain't got something, they're going to talk shit
about you. Yeah. I talk shit about everybody
cookout. Well, what the condiments looking like?
Oh, ketchup, A1,
mustard. I just want to let you know
A1 is really disrespectful
to steak, like good steak.
Oh, I don't put it on steak. You shouldn't. I put it on my burger.
What?
Maybe, no.
My mmm was a different mmm than Sidney's.
I'm like, mmm, maybe. I don't know.
Oh, you said you'd be making brisket.
Yeah.
Dude, I go fancy with my burgers, man.
I get like fucking boar's head cheeses and whatnot.
Boar's head cheeses.
That's from the deli, nigga.
Like, that's from the bodega.
That's fancy.
That's fancy to me.
Do you have a gouda?
Yeah, I got a gouda.
Oh, yeah, I get the chipotle gouda every now and then.
What's a chipotle gouda?
That's a spicy gouda.
Yeah, man.
I like spicy food.
My dad's guy needs.
I can tell by your neck you like the heat.
Yeah.
Your dad is guy needs.
So would you be having like, do you West Indian it up a little bit?
All the time.
plantains and stuff? We don't do plantains.
We do other stuff like
snacks like pine tarts and stuff like that.
What the hell is that? Pine tarts?
It's like a pastry.
You being the chef making pastries? I don't make pastries.
I have somebody else do that.
I'll make pastries. That's gay.
Not what y'all could bake. I don't know how to bake.
What is it called? Pine tarts.
Okay, so are you doing
like a salad? What you doing?
You doing like a rice? I don't do salads.
If you want a salad, you gotta bring a salad, bro.
Why you don't make a salad? Salads are good.
I know, but, like, I have other stuff.
I have fruits and pineapples and all that type of stuff, like a fruit salad, potato salad, stuff like that.
Yeah, but what else do you have besides these fancy-ass burgers?
Sometimes I might do steak.
Sometimes I might do, like, some little shrimps and whatnot on the grill.
Yo, let me tell y'all, because I feel like I'm spoiling the bobs.
Wait, hold on.
These pine tarts are, look, yummy as fuck.
I'm here for a little pine tart.
Ooh, that looks like a little apple pie.
Yeah.
You had a good time.
Is it apple?
No, I don't even know what's in it.
It's some type of preservative
that my mom and my aunt
would call it a preservative.
It's some jams, isn't it?
It's a preserve.
Yeah, I know what I'm saying.
When my mom does her cookouts,
she'll make rice and beans.
She'll make chicken.
She'll do...
She does rice?
What?
My mother will make pasta.
Yeah, you gotta have...
She'll make pasta with shrimp in it.
My mother makes...
Like, when all West Indian cookouts
that I go to in Brooklyn,
that's how the food is.
It's, like, food, food,
and then, like, the burgers are like,
I might have a burger.
Yeah, there's no burgers
or hot dogs at these types of cookouts.
Mama, they don't care about no damn hot dogs.
We're here for the rice.
It's a real food.
Like, they have, like, food.
Like, my aunts, like, my guy on the inside of the family, if they do a cookout, it's
stuff like that.
Yeah.
For me, like, I'm more like my mom's side.
You're trying to do, like, a artisanal burger or something.
Yeah, like, my mom's like, we hood with it, like, down south kind of stuff.
That's a basic black cookout.
Yeah.
I'm talking about, like, West Indian.
Yo, West Indian cookouts aren't really cookouts.
They're just like someone cooked inside and brought it outside.
They do.
You cook inside and you bring it outside.
That's exactly what a cookout is for us.
I went to my Haitian friend's cookout, and they had four different types of rice.
Yes.
It was crazy.
It was a white rice, a black rice, a yellow rice.
Dang, the cookout?
That's just someone cooked.
That's eating outside.
Yeah.
But then the grill be on.
Yeah.
They'll do the meat on the grill.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, they do ribs and stuff?
Yeah.
All right.
They'll do ribs.
Do you have a little jerk chicken going on there?
I don't do jerk chicken.
Why?
What kind of fucking cookout is this?
Wait.
No one's jerking chickens on a cookout.
You're not having a cookout.
You're having a barbecue.
Yeah.
You black man on a grill.
Because I ain't got jerk chicken and like cook up rice and all that.
Cook up, cook up.
What's the music situation?
Music situation?
Now it's the iPod.
Somebody, not iPod.
Your phone, hook it up to the Bluetooth speaker.
You don't have a DJ, dude?
Why would I have a DJ?
You got to have a real DJ at a cookout.
You need people to have a good time.
You need the atmosphere.
No, I mean, he paid.
Exactly.
The DJ money is for the venue, sis.
Ah, that's what it is.
You're cutting corners.
He got a little beat.
He got a beat pill.
I got a big Sony speaker
That I throw out there
He pulls his car up and turns
Open the trunk, open all the doors
You put the Beats pill in a cup
So that you can echo
So you can hear it
But only a cup that other people bought
Because they gotta provide
You don't provide cups or juice
I have cups, I have the utensils
But other than that
Are you buying the cheap paper plates
You got a double stack
Or are you buying the styrofoam
I hate those.
You talking about the white ones that got like frailed on the side?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fuck that.
No, I hate that.
Because you can't even take a to-go plate with that.
So you believe in a to-go.
Yeah.
Because some people get real weird about the to-go.
They're like, well, what did you bring?
What's the situation here?
Well, if you didn't bring nothing, you can't leave with three to-go plates.
I'll give you one.
Yeah.
I mean, all this food came to me.
Because I ain't going to take any.
I said, well, what you going to do with all this food, though?
I'm going to eat for the rest of the year.
That's what I'm going to do.
I mean for the rest of the year
We do that
We play some spades
Play some dominoes
That's a must
Has anybody ever gotten shot at one of your cookouts?
Not shot but got into a fight
If a cookout don't end in a fight then you're doing something wrong
They want to throw hands with each other
Like somebody did some goofy shit
Or brought somebody in and think should have been there
You have a specific story
About somebody that was brought that wasn't supposed to be there?
An ex showed up
But it's a cookout
It's in a public place
You're not eating my food
If we not together
If you're not eating my ass
You're not eating my food
Wow, Marie
You can rent that plot
At the park
Strict rules
At the cookout
Yeah, yeah
It's like some exes
They just show up
They see you having a cookout
They're like, oh, I'm coming through
No, don't do that
So then, okay
So your ex came
Did you speak to her?
No, I didn't speak to her
My girl and girl spoke to her
And I asked her to get out of there
Your girl?
Yeah
The girl I was dating at the time
Oh, okay
So how'd she pull up?
What happened?
The girl was there?
She was like, what the fuck you doing here?
And got kind of animated.
Oh, so the girls were fighting?
Yeah.
I thought it was men.
No.
I thought they were fighting over the food.
No, no, I'm fighting over the food.
Nothing like that.
Most of the dudes that come to my cookout, they're cool as shit.
Nobody really cause problems like that.
I mean, it's Newark.
It's Newark, though.
We don't believe you.
Yeah, they might know each other.
They be lifting their shirts up.
They be like, well, what you going to do there?
What you going to do there?
You know we don't fuck with each other.
I popped the trunk right now.
What you going to do there?
Newark has changed.
and I know it just changed
and Cory Booker came through,
started jogging,
got his all cardio fit.
Cory Booker,
he is doing a good job.
Send me what you got
on Cory Booker, sis.
Well, isn't he dating
a friend of a friend?
He's dating a friend of a friend,
but what you know
about Cory Booker
in Newark, sis?
I mean, I know that he's dating
a friend of a friend,
so he's got to be doing good work.
Wait, like a friend of a friend?
Yeah, a friend of our friend.
Mm-hmm.
They be going to Costa Rica
and stuff.
They be living their best lives.
Oh, she's not like...
Oh, see, that was the key part.
What?
There's a big rumor
in Newark, that Cory Booker's guy?
Oh, not on our podcast.
Not on our
motherfucking podcast. You better not.
I mean, we don't know if she'd be strapping up for him,
but we know that she
is with him.
I don't speak of
any... The podcast is over. Shut it down.
If you want to do the podcast
and be our Cory Booker expert, you can do it.
I don't need anybody shutting down
unofficial expert with haikus.
No. We can't have it.
My fault. My fault. But the rumor
in Newark, because he changed
Newark. Go ahead, Sidney, let him talk.
He was just so different from what Newark was used to.
Because y'all not used to nice things.
Educated light-skinned dude came to Newark and was like,
we gonna change some stuff? And y'all were like, oh, he must be gay.
Yeah, he was like, because he's educated and light-skinned.
He jogging, what the fuck?
Whole Foods, man. Oh my god.
Is a Whole Foods in Newark now? Yeah. Gordon, don't you
have a Twitter? Yeah, I got Twitter.
There's a Whole Foods in Newark now? Yes.
I live about, what, eight blocks away
from a Whole Foods now. I'm boof. I can love it.
That's where you begin all that brioche for your...
What's the macaroni and cheese situation?
Are y'all making a mac and cheese?
I let my mom make mac and cheese.
What's the cheeses in the mac and cheese?
He doesn't speak it.
I don't know.
I don't make it.
My mom makes it.
She bakes it.
I don't like anybody that don't bake their mac and cheese.
You can't have mac and cheese without baking it.
Don't tell people that, because people will come up to you and be like,
no, you just put it in the pot.
Which people are saying that?
Oh, these are the whites.
Oh, yeah, the people that are having barbecues.
barbecues.
Some people do some wild shit
with their fucking mac and cheese.
Did y'all go to the Creegan Cave when they had the mac and cheese contest?
Absolutely not. Who the fuck did that?
What was going on?
It was a sausage and mac and cheese contest.
People put some wild shit in their mac and cheese.
Some of it was soupy.
Some of it was on point.
Somebody baked a macaroni and cheese that had bacon and lobster in it.
I was like, alright.
They had money to blow.
Yeah, I'm like, I don't know who the fuck.
Bacon and lobster?
Somebody had like a jalapeno mac and cheese
I'm here for that
And then it was some other shit that I didn't touch
And then it was some boxed mac and cheese
It was like the weird noodles
I just want to let y'all know
In college I was like
Velveeta is like the best
Mac and cheese
In college you said that or as an adult you're saying that to us right now
No I said at college
In college
That's the last time you had it
That powdery ass cheese
I have regular no good mac and cheese
As an adult
But in college
I was like Velveeta
That is the best
All day
But when was the last time
You had Velveeta
College
I have not had it
Since college
Okay
Was it the microwave
One
You know
The cheese packet
Sidney throws everything
In the microwave
Sidney don't throw
A hard boiled egg
In the microwave
I'm like
I'm making Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving dinner
From the microwave
Throw a potato
In the microwave
I do
That's crazy
What
That's what I do sometimes
That's crazy
Y'all got radiation
All in your pores
That's why your eyebrows
You gotta stab it a couple times
You gotta put it in the oven for eight days
Stab it
We ain't got time for that
We ain't got time to bake a potato that long
We got shit to do
We New Yorkers
Listeners, how do you do your
How do you do your baked potatoes
How do you do it
That's crazy
You ever had a microwave
But I don't microwave my potatoes
Why not, cause I bake them
You wrap them in some oil
You wrap them in foil
You throw it in
I leave the house
Come back
It's almost ready
Build and be on fire
Be like is it me
No my potato's still in there
The way a baked potato works
Is you gotta
You gotta make it
When you're not hungry
Cause it'll be finished
You gotta make it
For when you will be hungry
Exactly
You gotta plan ahead
You gotta wake up
And be like
I'm gonna brush my teeth
No no no
I'm gonna bake my potato
Then brush my teeth
It'll be ready in time
Then run my errands
It'll be ready in time
For lunch
It'll be ready by dusk
Listen you take it
you wash it,
you put some olive oil on it, you put
some salt on the outside,
stab it a couple times, throw it in foil, and throw it in.
No, wait. Now, cookouts, when you go to other people's
cookouts, do you trust everybody's food?
No. Because you don't know if people are using
gloves or washing their hands.
You don't know if they rinse the chicken. How do you know?
My favorite question that people ask when they go to cookouts
is, like, yo, who made this? Who dishes
this? Who did this?
So people got to label their shit.
They got to label it. They be like, this is...
Or you just ask, and then people just pass the word,
Oh, Susan made that.
She cool.
Susan made it?
I'm not going to eat it.
I don't know no black Susans.
I know a couple black Susans.
I need a Pam.
Pam is going to throw the fuck down or whatever she means.
I need somebody with a crooked wig to do it.
Like a short, crooked wig.
Oh, my God.
If someone's sweating and they didn't even start talking yet, that person.
They get the fuck out of their ribs.
If they got like the neck rolls in the front, then you know the food is going to be good.
That's what I need.
If they got underarm meat, yes.
If they got the socks
Like those black people
Those black people
Sandals
You know the thick
African ones
With the strap on the side
Yes
And they maybe
Have a little sock on
That's when the food
Is going to be good
If they got
Verico's veins
The mac and cheese
Yes
It's lit
It's delicious
So all my uncles
Every single last
One of my uncles
Yeah
Yeah
If it's somebody
Who's like
Well there's a quinoa burger
I'm not
My sister's trying
To pull that shit now
She got a vegan
How you feel about that
I feel like they
Desecrate in
The cookout
with this vegan shit.
It's blasphemous.
It is very blasphemous.
She used to eat chicken all the time.
She ate everything.
And all of a sudden,
she got this new Jamaican husband.
Now she's all vegan
and trying to tell me to change my life.
Okay, but when her husband comes to the cookouts,
does he bring weed for you?
No.
Well, then he can't come.
No.
She's got to go.
We all get mad at him
because he goes,
there's nothing for me to eat.
You don't have any rice or anything?
No.
Rice.
Bring your own damn rice.
Yo, let me tell you what happened.
Somebody threw tofu on the fucking grill, and I was like, shut it down!
Shut it down!
They feel like tofu is going to melt into the grill.
They threw it on the grill.
Oh, hell no.
Somebody brought a, is it bokeh or boot?
Something like that.
But it was a spicy bean burger, and they tried to slip it on the grill, and someone ate it
and got real pissed off and threw the whole box out.
It was like, nigga, what are you doing?
Threw the whole box out.
What are you doing?
What kind of cheeses are you providing for these burgers?
Oh, look.
I do it all.
American cheese, provolone.
Like, I have a...
How dare you?
American?
Some people like American cheese.
That's the tackiest cheese.
We, after 21, nobody should be eating American cheese.
Don't tell that to the niggas I know.
One of them niggas is from Newark, so we wasn't going to talk to them anyway.
They grabbed that goddamn plastic cheese and just ripped that foil off.
Oh, man.
That plastic cheese.
I'm going to have one of them come to my house
And I'll give them some
Munster cheese and see how they feel about that
Are you German? What the fuck are you trying to feed me
Munster for? They like she must be gay
It's real Cory Booker of her

Gay ass cheese

I guess
I think we should do
like some field work
some field investigating work
we should have a day
in Newark. Can you prove to us
that it is? No, no, no. Not a day. I'll do like a couple
hours. I'll do an afternoon.
When I say day, I mean like an hour.
Come down for Chop Fest.
It's amazing because the people come over and they
can't believe that. It's amazing. Nigga, you lucky

That's what's amazing. We out here. We living, man.
It's amazing. You walk outside.
You're like, another day I lived.
You're just happy to be here. Shut up.
Some people get knocked out. Some people get mugged.
You smell like gunpowder.
It smells like, I don't even know what gunpowder smells like.
It smells like fireworks.
You're like, all right.
The fact that you know that is telling us everything that we need to know.
I had no idea.
It smells like fireworks.
It smells like lit matches.
What does it smell like?
You never, like, let off a firecracker before?
No.
I like my fingers.
Oh, man.
Oh.
Also, I feel like they're illegal here.
I feel like in Newark, y'all just be.
Y'all have your own Macy's fireworks.
I go like
for my cook
I was like go
yeah fuck it
I'm committed to it
I go over
the Pennsylvania line
like at the border
of Pennsylvania and Jersey
there's nothing but
firework stores
and they're dirt ass cheap
so we go over
buy our shit
hang out in PA
so the cops won't just
follow us back
and take them out of our trunk
and then come back
and we let them off
and we get like
mortars and shit
you do
you cross state lines
to go pick up
some fireworks
and that ain't
some gay ass shit
I don't know what else is
that sound real
Cory Booker
for me
No, no, no
Me and Cory Booker riding shotguns on the PA
Honestly
I don't want no parts
Cory Booker
I would never be a part of anything that they're saying
Sidney, Cory Booker is not checking for your ass
He got a girlfriend already
No, just friends, we're friends
You don't know Cory Booker, he's not your friend
Senator Cory Booker now
No longer mayor, he's senator
Anyway
Go party with us, man, we got fireworks
I'm not coming to Pennsylvania to get fireworks
We're not going to Pennsylvania
As soon as y'all leave, I'm leaving too
Well, drive me off on your way
I'm downtown Newark now
So it's going to be even better
What's the difference between downtown Newark and uptown Newark?
Central Newark and like Ivy
Well, I'm saying all these streets
Like Avon Ave is where my mom teaches
And I grew up in Little Bricks and stuff like that
Little Bricks sounds like a project
I grew up in Little Bricks
That's a smaller project
That's exactly what it is
You're not all the way poor
You're on your way
Into the big house
Wait
I went before
I wanted to ask you about
How's like dating
Or hooking up
Or trying to talk to people
At the cook house
How does that work
That goes
That
It gets weird sometimes
Why
Because it'd be too many cousins
It'd be too many dudes
And the girls are like
I was gonna come
But it was too many guys
They line up
At the entrance of the park
So you can't
Girls be like, I got food at home.
I had cousins hit on cousins, because that get weird.
Because it's two different sides of my family coming to me at one time.
Oh, but they're not related.
That's weird, though.

It's not all that. Oh, you've never had good potato salad?
I've had good potato salad and I steal. I'm skipping the potato salad.
And I steal them like, no. I'm not here
for warm mayonnaise. No.
Especially if you did the potatoes in the microwave. I'm not here
for that potato salad. Mayonnaise, potatoes,
celery. What the fuck?
Give us your potato salad recipe.
I don't have, like, that's my mom. Exactly. I go to my mom
for that. I still don't want it. Okay, so potato salad.
I'm a grill guy. I like grilling.
But I'm not done with the plate. So
potato salad, shish kebab. That sounds
cute. Yeah. And then what else?
What else do I have out there?
There's going to be a burger on there.
You got some ribs.
You got my brats, the hot dogs, burgers, all that shit.
What else do I have out there?
Fruits and shit.
Okay, what kind of fruits?
What kind of fruits you got on there?
Pineapples.
Mango.
Guava.
You got some guava?
Why are you yelling about guava?
You got guava.
Where's your goddamn guava, Gordon?
I didn't know you were.
Ain't no guava?
Ain't no guava.
It's a wrap.
My bad.
I'm calling a cop.
I didn't know y'all wanted kiwi.
Oh, you got kiwi?
No, in like a fruit salad.
In a fruit salad.
But a guava's not something that you want to eat.
It goes well in like a smoothie or something.
Uh-huh, but it's not something.
It actually kind of stinks a little.
Papaya?
You got a little papaya?
Papaya is also another, is a smoothie fruit, I feel like.
When you eat papaya like regular, it's not that good.
Everybody, like, I don't like getting a watermelon,
but I get it because I'm like, oh.
What do you mean you don't like getting the watermelon?
Yeah.
That's the one thing I feel self-conscious about
when I cook out.
How do we eat this?
But you got chicken on the grill.
I got chicken on the grill.
I got everything else.
But you don't feel the way about this.
I'm like, God damn it.
Watermelon is fucking delicious.
I don't even eat it.
White people like watermelon.
They love it.
So why is it a bad thing?
I cut up a watermelon for everybody, and everybody come through.
All the white people in the town.
How do you cut it up, though?
How do you cut it up?
I do long slices.
Okay.
Yeah, so you should be all going back and forth.
Do you invite white people to the cookout in Newark?
Yes.
And do they show up?
Some do.
What kind of white person shows up to a Newark cookout?
The white dude in the fake Tims.
A Mookie.
A Mookie shows up.
All of them.
All my hood white friends, they show up.
And then, like, some of my new white friends are just like,
all right, he invited me.
I don't want to look racist.
So they show up.
I don't want to look racist.
So they show up.
I'm like, all right, it's my first cookout.
I didn't know what to bring.
Dear white people.
They bring, like, a keg.
Dear white people, don't do things to not look racist.
Just continue to save yourself.
I'm not going to Newark because a black dude invited me there
and I don't want to look racist.
It's a good time, though.
I'm going to stay home and be racist and alive.
I agree with that, bro.
Everyone comes in.
Everyone goes home.
I'm yet, like, beside that one little squabble with the exes, that was about it.
But everybody else have a good time.
People might talk shit, give some side eye, but nobody do nothing crazy.
But that's what a cookout is, is people talking this.
You have to get in on the talking shit.
You got to understand it's a part of the chemistry of it.
Yeah, you have to.
You grab something to eat.
You walk over.
You talk shit about what you're eating and who made it.
You talk shit about the people who were there.
Yeah.
What the fuck is she wearing?
You talk about the shit.
Yeah, what is exactly what?
What the hell is she doing here?
I didn't even know he got out.
Oh, she drunk?
oh she drunk already
look at her
she about to fall to shit
she stay drunk
while you drunk
like it's great
you talk about the person
you're with
exactly
you be like
look look look
she tucked her dress
into her panties
and her ass cheeks
is ashy
freaking love Joanne
yeah
oh man
I'ma fuck her later
I'ma fuck her later
my parents had a cookout
and my brother
bought a white girl
when I tell you
my mother curved her
while she was bringing
the rice out
my mother was like
my mother was like
this is a Stephanie
my mother was like
mmm
my mother just kept
bringing out rice
Stephanie was like, nice to meet you
My mother was like, mmm
And then my dad was like, you know the Bible says
My dad took her to church
I was like, she's just here for the vegan options
Y'all have vegan options?
Hell no
They don't even know what a vegan is
My mother doesn't know what a vegan is
What is that?
I think my mom thinks that's a car
My mom thinks a vegan
She got a Honda vegan
The 2018 vegan.
The 2018 vegan.
You get a new hat, it's called vegan.
My mom thinks that's a school.
I feel like we learned a lot about your cookout situation.
Your cookout situation.
Because I feel like that's the pivotal one.
You go to other people, they try to be fancy,
and they try to be upscale, and they have all this stuff.
What should you not have at a cookout?
What should you not have at a cookout?
Name three things you shouldn't have at a cookout.
I'm going to start the list.
Potato salad.
What?
I agree.
Disagree
I agree
Cold slaw
Cold slaw
I hate cold slaw
Cold slaw
Don't bring no cold slaw
It's stupid
And like a macaroni salad
I don't
I'm not here for anything
I like macaroni salad
No
I'm not here for anything
Mayonnaise based
Really why
If the mayonnaise
I grew up on that
Yeah
Y'all love high cholesterol
We do
I love it
We do
Paul love it
We really do
Fucking love it
It's like
It's so much mayonnaise
On his table
And then you got
Mayonnaise on a burger
It's like what the fuck
We don't need all this shit.
You don't show up to someone's cookout
with fried chicken from a food chain
because I've kicked people out
for some shit like that.
I can't bring Popeye's?
I can't bring Church's chicken?
Why you want some Church's chicken?
I also don't understand why you would do that.
You would do that? No, I've never done that.
People would try that shit.
Oh, but I did go to one cookout
where we were there late
and there was no more food left
and someone brought.
They just so happened to bring store-bought fried chicken.
If there's no more food left,
that means you either didn't plan properly
or the food was so good
that people took all the to-go plates and dipped.
You got there late.
But you should never run out of food.
That's like pivotal.
That's ridiculous.
I'm not trying to feed the whole community.
I ain't trying to say you should feed the whole community,
but that's embarrassing.
Like, what, you ain't got nothing left?
Yeah, but how long we been in this park?
Yeah.
We've been here several hours.
How long can you get the fireworks and you just eat it?
I go to Costco.
Like, if you're early, you get the brisket burgers.
But if you're late, you get the Costco patties I just threw on the grill
because you just came through.
Damn.
My mother gets the ground beef, and then she, like, puts onions in it,
and she makes the patties the night before.
That's for the people that show up early and on time for the cookout.
Everybody else that come after that, you're getting just bare essentials.
Burger, hot dog.
The people who get there late, they're at a barbecue, not a cookout.
they're at a barbecue what you do is you go to a barbecue and then you go to a cookout
well we have a friend that he'll have really cute little barbecues on his uh on his uh roof
yeah remember the crab patties crab cakes the crab cakes oh my god they were so
fucking good barbecues be and then you said the rib i didn't even get to listen i was getting
ready to leave the house i was like well i guess i'm done and he brought out the crab cakes i was
like i got some time i was there for another hour and a half and then the crazy thing is is that it
was the meat the type of rib that he had it wasn't like a regular rib that probably be it was like a
