It's been this long since you guys broke out. Yeah. Wow. Damn. It's time. And I know you don't know much about this podcast, so I'll give you just a quick brief of what. This show is dedicated to the shape of the earth.

Are you Lord Jamar? This entire pod is not about current events, not about music. We're strictly here to figure out what the shape of the earth. That's such a controversial episode. I came in here. They didn't get on the same path as me. That was the greatest podcast episode I've ever fucking seen in my life. Hold on, but before we get to that.

I know you guys are fans. Pay attention. Paying attention. I watched the three fucking times. I subscribed to Professor Dave. I watched his YouTube shit to this day. He's not lying. He's dead serious.

I came in here like, Yo, have y'all seen? What's up with you and Jamar on the fucking flat earth? What's going on with the flat earthers, can? This shit don't make no sense, can. Who gives a fuck about what the shape of the earth is, sir? And this is supposed to be five percent of peace of the gods and earths. And this is both, fuck, don't buy some flat earths.

You know what motherfuck don't buy some flat-up. Right, right, right. You know what motherfuckes talk when they breath go away? I don't get my fuck, man. This shit don't matter. Does it affect you going to one thing? It's not madden. The funniest part about all this is this originally was a Zoom episode.

We was going to have Gawfrey on Zoom. And I came in here. I'm like, I think Gawry lives in Manhattan. Why are we zoom in? And it was like, you and? I said, yeah, man. He's like, you know, right here. I'm like, you're like, you're going to get to.

Where are you at? And now he's here in the studio. And now he's here. in the studio. So thank you for coming by. Yeah, no doubt. Appreciate y'all. I know you guys. Sort of. Sort of. Because I was like, aren't you? You're like, don't say it. Don't fuck.

It's all right, though. I do appreciate that you blindly accept podcast invitations. Because when we got on Zoom, you're like, ain't you the guys? Yeah, coming over there. We appreciate that. Yeah, because I watch, listen, regardless of what happens in this biz, you know, everyone's doing their thing, things happen. It is what it is, man. I mean, looking with the flat earth for shit. Yeah. I haven't even spoken to him in, man, over, over the shape of the earth.

That's what's hilarious. So you haven't spoken to the other? No. Because I don't, I didn't do anything. Right. Well, here's the thing. Okay. He was like talking about the shape of the earth.

And I go, all right. Hey, why don't you have when we bring, because we're going to bring Neil deGrasse Tyson on there. Okay. Because he said that he was going to debate him. Because Chuck, Chuck Nice. My man, Chuck Nice is his. co-host on his show, StarTalk. I've done Star Talk with him.

Also, I did Neil DeGrasson's, Neil DeGrasse's show on Nat Geo. We shot at the planetarium on 8, you know, so I know, and I say, yeah, let's call Neil the Grass because we want to let's put a black man on there to talk to another black man. Right. So, and Neil DeGrasse was too busy.

So he's like, well, this guy, Dave, the science communicator said, hey, man, I'd like to debate this dude. Go ahead. Well, you're leaving out apart. Because after you guys had, that conversation. Yeah.

Professor Dave did his reaction video. To Lord. With a glass of cognac in his hand, which I grabbed some as well to watch that reaction video. We're all drinking out. I'm just like, oh, now I'm on board. Professor Dave is in the mix? Yo.

So I was like, this is great. It's science, man. Right. It's a debate who gives a fuck. Right. And I go, hey, I got a guy. Of course, I didn't surprise. I'm handsome.

Tada. We said, hey, would you like to? He goes, yeah, I'll. come through. I said, well, cool. And so, he's on there. And before, remember, before he even got on the screen, yo, fuck that motherfucker.

I was in a shot, I was like, oh, shit, uh-oh. So I just kept quiet. And I'm not trying to embarrass anybody. You want to battle. And he said, I'll even go against Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's not a real astrophysic. He's an actor. I was like, huh?

Dude, he was, if you guys, I'm a real nerd. So Carl S. was the original Cosmos. Carl Sagan, you know what Carl Sagan is? No. Well, Carl Sagan was the, well, Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts Cosmos. But the original host of Cosmos was Carl Sagan. This is white, dude, dark cat.

And I love Carl, I grew up on Carl Sagan watching Cosmos because I was into astronomy and shit like that. And so he was Neil deGrasse Tyson's mentor. Okay. And, you know, Neil deGrasse is from the Bronx. Yes. And he was when he was studying, you know, Neil deGrasse is a all-state wrestler. It was a free.

And he goes, yeah. And when I got into science, I met, you know, Carl Sagan. He gave me like a blessing, boom. So that's how his life has been. He's a real scientist. And so he goes, yeah, I'll debate anybody. And I say, cool. Right.

This will be awesome. Yeah. And what's funny, he says, oh, I was just doing it for clicks. I go, who isn't doing shit for clicks? Right. That's how you live. How you title an episode. I need clicks.

That's how you get money. And so he got on there And when he said what he said Before the guy got on I go oh boy So I just sat there and Dave stood his ground Yeah you know and he went at him And Dave is also a very

How do I put it? Arrogent Yes Arrogent with stipulations Because what he's saying is factual But it can piss somebody off just the way he's speaking He's snarky and fucking Well, if you understand what a ball is, it is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gravity, dumbass. He's going to piss somebody. Somebody from Neuro shell, he's going to piss off the way he speaks. Yeah, the way he's talking. Yeah, of course. But when you're right, you're right. That's my thing.

And I'm like, you handle this. I just want to watch. I'm not trying to go back and forth. Right. You know, because I know science, but I'm not that deep in it like that. You know, but you really want to battle. this flat earth shit. Because for me, I understand why flat earthers have come into play. I understand because we're lied to so much just in general. Everything lies to us. Lies about food. They lied to

everything. So I understand when people go conspiracy theories. That's where conspiracy theories come from. Is there the presence of God? Is there such thing as a Jesus? You get it because motherfuckers lie a lot. So I understand the flat earth thing. Right. And what's funny is there's something. things about flat earth that makes sense you go you know what that kind of makes sense i like people that even if they're wrong they have some shit that you go well wait a minute yeah that makes for good yeah you know i'm a good conversation and so go ahead what you're gonna say i'm a huge conspiracy theorist and they accused me of being a flat arthur for a long time and granted i went and went through the same youtube rabbit holes that i'm sure lord jimar did as well and i was like nah that's probably

bullshit but i still believe in a lot of other conspiracies there was some stuff that made sense Yeah. You know, perspective wise, okay, if this is this, why don't we see the curvature? Then I brought my buddy on my buddy Calvin Stiggy. He's a pilot Jamaican. My boy's Jamaican is all hell. And he studied geospaced engineering and he was, he protected Obama. He was an Air Forceman.

Like he did the Tom Cruise shit that he got through the tricks and all. So he goes, he goes, he said, blood clodd, the earth is round. He's like, I see the culture And on the Jamaican is saying that shit Yeah, you gotta believe it When a Jamaican goes, I see no BumbaClack curve It was on 80,000 And it felt Bumba Clad

When they go Bamba Clat You gotta believe him He said, dude, he said Bamba Clive. V said the same thing He said he didn't kill that person I was on the ear, I swore the Bumbleclat! He said Bumbleclad. It's real. It's real.

So there is curvature it is what it is. It's like because I don't know because I don't fly. I don't, you know, so what if, what if those pictures that we have seen of the earth are fake? What if they are? Because we don't, we're not

satellites. We have, I haven't, I'm not Superman where I can fly and go, ah, it is round. What if they're lying to us? Because we're here on the planet. We don't know what the fuck they're doing up there. Right. They could be, I'm saying they could be lying. Yeah. With the moon landing, I, you know, the moon landing. I'm still

I'm doubting that shit, you know, especially after those space cunts went up there. Yeah. I'm sorry. The cosmic cunts are this. Yeah, call them by the proper names. The cosmic cunts. The cosmic cunts went up. Did they go up?

They bitches didn't go to space. There was some air and their hair. First of all, where is your helmet? At minimum. First of all, where's your pressure suit? They didn't even have at least motorcycle helmet. I saw Armagedon. They could go like this.

and open and go, wow, we're in bed. I'm just saying, I don't mean to insult them, but I was just like, and then you have fucking Katie Perry describing what the fuck happened. I go, why would you pick her? She's like, it was just love. Love and connection and just love.

And we were just there and connect. What the fuck are you talking about? We're talking science. Like, hey, I felt a gravitational pull. And then Bezos is white. with that fucking you would think that she had all that face shit done that the gravity would have her whole shit would be like oh my god yeah the girl every needle this is fuck my whole operation her shit would have been like you see would it look like a fucking yeah it was out no there was no

effect on that yeah so i was like we're and then we're like this wehoo we're in bath yeah if you're in space if you're on a high speed fucking train you're like this oh shit shit, right? If you're, oh, fucking grass. I do that getting off the FD. You're like, oh, shit, goddamn. But you're in space and you're just going, whew! Look at my daisy.

Oh, my God. A daisy means Kanaxha. And then they came out like, yeah. If you come from space, you're like, fuck. Yeah, that was intense. You know? And then Bezos tried to open a door. They already opened it.

He was like, fucking closing. Fuck! Take two. He was like, whee! Yeah. We saw it.

No angst to make sure his wife is okay. And you know what? And then it's like you can't, our bodies can't handle those kind of forces. You know, when you're in an airplane, 35,000 feet and your pressure.

And then, come on, there's pilots that go higher than that. Yeah. The fuck you talk. These pilots are up there with helmets on it. Oxygen and, and you, yeah.

And you're higher than they are, but you're like, yeah, Speth, the Final Frontier, yeah. These are the people, these are the people we show. Just like, Spock, we have to go on turbo.

He's like this, Captain, I don't think we can make that. He's like, damn it, this makes no sense. Even on TV, this makes no sense. We can't do that. Star Trek look like real space, like, yeah, I don't think we can make it.

I think that force will suck us in. Spock, we have to get there. small. Right? And these motherfuckers like, yeah, we were there. It was love. It was Knaxian.

Like it was brunch. It's not time for feminism in that high altitude. The fuck is wrong. Is there any gender in the face? Finally, we resulted. It was Kinekshan. What the fuck?

Not that she found about love up there. It was the fact that she decided two days later that she needed to learn how to walk again. Did you see that concert? She was doing that. It was strange. Her concert was Gabbitts straight Basura

That shit was so bad She was a difference She was I said maybe she did go to space Because she got Riquities They left her up there She is

She got a rickets Gravitational forces Then fucked her knees up Oh my That's when she was in that Dressed as a fucking That was at least She should have been dressed

In that to go to space Yeah But they were all these sexy suits And then there's Gail King, right? And there's an Oprah's body double. And then there's, I call her Oprah's stunt double. Because if Oprah's like in a car scene and she rolls out, it's Gail. Yeah, absolutely.

I can turn in my head. Yo, it's Gail King rolling out the car. And there's two scientists who are real scientists. The girl that's the Vietnamese girl who was actually, you know, she was like sexually assaulted when she was a science. Yeah, she's gone through a lot. She's actually a real, um, astrophysicist or whatever. and the black girl, it's the, in the middle,

there's the Vietnamese chick in the front that's the lowest and the black, they're two real astrocyte. So I think they brought them in to just keep the hoax going. But it was some bull, they went straight to Katie Perry first. And I said, oh, this is bullshit. They fucked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's like, it was just love and Knoch, we're just that.

She was on love. Gail, like, kind of had a little sassy attitude, like, once she went. She was like this. She's like, have you been in the space? Then you tell me. I'm sorry. You're basically asking you what happened up there. Your friend is Jeff Bezos.

Space costs a million dollars a team. I just did. I was just on kayak to get my ticket to go to North Carolina. Fuck you're talking about. I was using my flyer miles and negotiated just trying to go a two-hour flight. And you're talking about, have you been the space? That's what I knew was bullshit. I'm sorry.

Have you been to space? So when you get to space, let me know. Have you been to space? No, we haven't. You're the only ones that have obviously been there. Because we have what you were. That's why you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Right, right.

Flint doesn't have clean water and you went to space for funnies. Oh, my God. I totally forgot about that. That Flint didn't have clean water? No. I went to Flint. I'm talking about this space voyage that Gail King and him went on. Because remember she had the interview, she goes, people don't believe it.

Have you been to space? If I have a friend named Jeff Bates, I'll go. and he'll pay for my day. But you didn't go to space. Have you been to space? You obviously haven't either because you're not explaining anything to us. You could have been like, well, the gravitational forces

it was really amazing. Then we saw cosmic dust and just some space talk. Like you could be at least like we, I think we saw like Haley's comic come by. Right. And we saw there's an asteroid. We were able to see, you know, the moon and the craters. And da-da-da-da.

I mean, I know some science. Like, tell us something. Right. You were like this. Have you been to space? Well, if you don't know space, shut your ass. And you know how they use the word space now just in gym? I just love this space that we're in.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's what that was. We were in a space in space. It was sort of a safe space in space, which was sort of space like in a safe craft. So everything's about space. Everything's about space. Respect our space. It was so spacey that I'm spacey from the space.

And in this space, I was able to really be in a safe space. play for space. And this is a good working space for me. And, you know, and people who don't know about this space, know nothing about space. So where are you on the side of the flat earth thing? I still want to take Lord Jamar to Antarctica.

Do you remember when they did the experiment? They did recently. They do what? $35,000 a piece for these flat earthers to go to, because they say that, Antarctica, there's an end in Antarctica. There's some other, like, big fucking land. Okay, there's a wall.

Yeah. So this dude's like, The Rothschild's on the other side. Right. I'm going to take you. There's a Rothschild Island right there. Go to Google Maps. Is there a Ross Child Island?

In Antarctica, yeah. I believe that, though. No, it's a fact. Snow Castle? Listen, I'm saying that the earth is round. I'm also saying that the Rothschilds own an island in Antarctica. And I believe that. And I believe that.

Along with that. It can be the Sorosos, the Rothschild, the Rockefeller Felt, the Rockerfelt. Yeah, I believe all that shit. Yeah. Now, but as far as like, he goes, okay, I'm going to take you guys to Antarctica, fly you all out. This guy, scientists, paid $35,000 a piece. Yeah. I got the money.

And then we're going to sit there and watch the sun. If the sun stays in the air, stays out for 24 hours at the Earth's round. They were like, okay, bet. And they camped out. That fucking son stayed there. And they were like, that's CGR. That's fucking A-I. They were there.

They took, like, flat-earther influencers. Like they took the Kendall Jenner of Flat Earth down there. And then when they got there, there was like, you know, now the 24 hours don't exist. Like we, yeah, yeah, it's real. Then they exiled them like some Scientology shit. Like they kicked them out of the Flat Earther community. Yeah, they're out.

Because they were like, guys, I was there. I promise you, that was not. And they were like, it's round. Earth is round. It's right. We were wrong. So now it kicked out of the fraterns. Yes.

The freak kicked out. You're out of here. You think it's vulcan round? You think it's a sphere? you're out of here asshole The internet is just the worst place Because when I was even That's how they make their money though

I wouldn't even looking at the flat earth shit When I started on that rabbit hole They were telling me like yo There's no flights from Argentina to Australia And I was like damn why is that the case Then I went on price line I'm like no you could fly They just put out misinformation as a fact

And if you don't double check it Delta doesn't go to Trinidad I just found that out yesterday They don't So it's got to be a triangle. You look at the flag of Trinidad. JetBlue does that. Yeah, you can get there.

They show the lines. JetBlue has more lies. Now we're going to Trinidad. At one Flat Earth or Rabbit Hole, I went down, they showed footage of everyone taken off from Australia. And they said, they were forcing everyone to put the windows down. So you couldn't see. Yo, Vadis. I got to give credit to Flat Earth.

there's that keep going. They'll go like this, but no. And how come the wing was tilted? Yeah. Guess what that means? That's the flat earth, the grab. And then we were talking about, there was a thing about buoyancy.

You saw that? Yeah, of course. Okay, how come when you dip a, you put a water in a ball, in a ball, a ball in water, like a tennis ball, and you spin it, the water comes off. How come it does it,

the water doesn't fly off the earth? He goes, hey, dummy, because the earth is a gigantic fucking mass, a humongous mass, and gravity exists, and there's a, you know, there's a force that keeps us down.

You know, when you throw a ball up, it goes fucking down. Yeah. It's like, well, you know where down is? Remember,

he's like, do you know where down is? And in buoyancy, in the equation, if you can even pop it up, the equation for buoyancy, there's a G for gravity on the other side of the equal side.

Right. A G is in, the is in the equation for buoyancy right it's in the equation why do things float there's gravity right in the equation guys i'm stupid so it's not like i'm sitting here like i know everything no me either but this shit makes more sense to me than someone just screaming hey a ball can't what's their famous line can't hold water or whatever the fuck they say right it's and i'm like no when they said it i was like hmm that's a great point and it was easily disproven right it's a great point

I have a lot of love and respect for Lord Jamar I don't want to make it seem like I'm glad to Lord Jamar I was on his side in the beginning and I thought in the like yo listen you making up some great points and then Professor Dave just was like dog all right let me break this down for you

and Neil deGrasse Tyson you know have you heard when him and Terence Howard wrote some stuff some scientific theories and Terrence is like I believe that that the planet there's no such thing

as zero because if you see I've done a lot of calculation you know he sounds light skin he sounds light skin I love Terrence Howard he sounds light skin though I sound like a dark skin

he sounds like skin see nobody dark skin sounds like that he hits S's like every light skin here's the thing though you have to understand the philosophy and astronomical calculation. I've done this for a long time. He's South Lyska.

That's what I love about him. But he ain't no joke, though. He don't play that bullshit, though. I don't fucking smack shit out of somebody. He's real deal. He ain't no fucking, he ain't no punk. That's one thing. Whether he was playing a pimp, a rapper,

he's fucking amazing. He wears the same thing and looks exactly the same to every role. And I love him to be that guy. And the United States are a punk. That Batman thing, where he's a fucking amazing. He meets Batman. He goes,

what's that? Batman. He goes, it's Batman. Okay, Batman. That's what I said. I said Batman. That shit is hysterical.

But when you say things with conviction, like he does. Right, because Neil the Grass actually looked at the paper he wrote and said, I looked at it, but I just didn't have time to, you know, but there's some things that he said that didn't,

they weren't right. But I give him credit for his effort. Okay. You know, there's this thing they call, what's the theory they call where you, you think you know enough, you think you know something, but you don't have enough information to really know, and you don't know what you're talking about. There's a, there's a theory. Was it, was it called? Cognitive dissonance. It's, um, shit. Um, it's, it's a theory where you, you, you, narcissism. You don't, no. Right. That's a good one, right. Where you, where you, where you have, you think, you, you think, you. you have a certain amount of information to make you think you know everything, but you don't have enough, something like that. The district attorney.

Puffy's lawyers. Is it? Okay, read that. Can you read that? The phrase you don't know what you don't know highlights the limitations of human knowledge and a potential for gaps in understanding. It emphasizes that there are often things we are unaware, we don't know, which can lead to misunderstandings or flawed assumptions.

Right. So it's that. And so Neil DeGrasse said, That's what he has. He has that. That's what he has. But I love his, but we're scientists. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've done experiments over and over and over. This is what we do. And I'm not knocking him, but what you're talking about is wrong. Right. Because I'm a fucking scientist. That's like telling him about acting. Right. Like, Terence is an amazing actor.

That's like me telling you about acting. you don't know it like I do. Right. And so that was really interesting that, you know, and my thing is science is there to be debated. What's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong. Even though they've since the days of Einstein and Boer

and all these scientists that have, you know, they have all these different types of, they have their own theories. They have their own calculations and equations. Even back then, these were, I mean, Madam Cure, they all did science experiments over for tons of. of them. So these motherfuckers know what they're talking about. And it's okay

to debate them. Just be ready. Just be ready to get started. Right. Just be ready to be wrong. This is their actual job. Like, just get ready. You know, you know what I'm saying? It's like getting in a scene with Denzel and be like, I know how to act. Are you? Are you sure about that? Are you sure? So what are we going to do? We're going to work.

You're going to keep your mouth shut. Is that what you're telling me? You think you know, you know. And now I'm sitting here like, I don't know how to act. Yeah. That girl said, what do I need to do to be a comic actor? He said, learn, shut up, turn off your phone. Practice, train, right? It was, who was a menace society?

Who directed that? Which brothers? Huddling? No, not the Huddlin. I think it was the Huddling brothers? No. Oh, no, was it Bill Duke? No.

Menace Society is the brothers. You know you don't fucked up. You know that one, right? Bill. Bill Duke was the one. It was the Hughes brothers. The Hughes brothers. Bill Duke was the one who said,

you know he didn't fuck that. Yeah, he was in it. He was actually in it, yeah. So Alan Hughes was doing a podcast, I think it was like with Neil Brennan maybe and was talking about directing Denzel for the first time. And any time he had any type of note or real direction, Denzel would just yell, 32, 32. He'd do it for the whole week.

And then Alan Hughes realized he was saying the amount of movies he's done and saying, Shut the fuck up. hilarious. 32. 32. Don't tell me what the fuck I'm doing right now. That is hilarious.

32. Dinner for a whole week. He thought he was calling an honorable. Yeah, yeah. We thought he was calling an audible. 32. Set. 3.5.

Hit 5. 32. Crazy. You know that last what I lie? I was like, shut the fuck up. Yeah. Let me do what I do. You just saw me in a gang of movies.

Right. Not an Oscar real quick. Right. Let me do what I do. He's like, Den, can you like, no? Yeah, no, I can't. Do you see me directing you? Huh?

Nah? Ha ha. You know, it's in that 30... That's a lot of talk about it. It happened to me. I was on a sentence. And when it comes to comedy, like, I just feel like those people can't tell me. What's the difference for you between, let's say, stand up and then actual...

Situational comedy. Yeah. I'm good at both. You know, not everybody, a lot of comedians can transfer into acting. That's one thing. A lot of comedians can go from stand up to like sketch comedy and stuff like that because we have that timing thing. We do character work on stage.

So we can adjust easier. I'm not saying we're all going to be the greatest at it, but we can, that's why they pick a lot of comics on a lot of sketch stuff because we kind of know, because a lot of sketches come from comics that they've watched. they'll steal a joke and just extend it into a sketch. You feel me? Yeah. So a lot of times a lot of writers from the SNLs and whatever will go to comedy clubs

to get premises. Oh, yeah. And you'll go, wait a minute, that looks like my shit. You know what I mean? So that's why we're real, we can think in sketch too. Because a lot of comics are writers. Right. You got Michael Chey.

You got Colin Jost. They're all comics. Yeah. You know, a lot of my comic friends write a lot of, a lot of sketches. They're all comedians. Even though John Mullaney was the headwriter, SNR-R-X.

Sketch. Yeah, but he's stand-up. So a lot of us are stand-up. Colin Quinn was a stand-up. Dennis Miller, a stand-up stand-of-sand-s. So we can get into acting. A lot of comics can become dramatic actors, too.

Because we're angry. First of all, we're fucking angry. Comedy comes from anger, pain, and shit like that. You look at some great actors, Robin Williams. You look at Michael Keaton was a stand-up. Really? What? Nate?

Yeah, Michael's stand-stand-up comic. Michael Keaton, who's one of the best, greatest actors. Michael Keaton was a stand-up. Kevin Pollock's stand-up. Who else? Richard Pryor was a good actor. Richard Pryor could actor's ass off. You got Eddie Murphy.

You got, we can keep going. There's a lot of stand-ups that can become actors. Rosie O'Donnell was a stand-up comic. Roseanne Barr, stand-up comic. We could just, it's easy to, it's easier. It's harder for an actor to do comedy. Oh, yeah, for sure. But drama, it's easier for,

for us to get into that shit. We've seen Robert De Niro try to be a comedic actor for the last 20 years. And it's funny because, but what's great, he's doing mafia movies. Like, listen, I like you the parents too. But he, but he, we got to stop here. I'm trying to be a comedian. There was a show called The Actor's Studio. Yeah, I remember.

With James Lipton. Yeah. I love that. Favorite Chappelle interview. Chappelle did it. Yeah. And he asked De Niro, what's the hardest thing for you as an actor? He goes, comedy.

It's so difficult. Denzel said it. Comedy. comedy. Kim Bassinger said comedy. It's harder than drama. And it doesn't get rewarded the way it should be. I think a funny movie should be rewarded for, because that's hard.

Because you already go into, when you're going to go see a funny, funny movie, you already got attitude. This should better be funny. Right, right. Shit, fuck that. You don't go into the drama going, I better cry like a bitch. Because the notebook had me snotting bubbles, baby. I better cry like a bitch.

I better cry like a bitch. I want to lose breath in this, motherfucker. You never do that. Yeah, duh. You just go, drama's a drama. You don't always go to funny. Unless you wouldn't even funny. Yeah.

It's way harder. Yeah. Because there's an expectation. Yeah. You know, with drama, you can have laughter. You can, if you cry, you can, eh. Comedy's like, I just, I come for one fucking reaction. So you grew up, you grew up in Chicago.

Yep. What's the, is it tougher, like, the comedy scene, the comedy clubs in Chicago? Is it tougher than New York or is New York? York, by far the toughest city for comedy? Right now, I don't know the landscape of comedy as far as coming up, because I'm, like, I've been doing it over 25 years, so I don't, but I knew in Chicago, I mean, New York had just more stages. Okay.

New York, and I'm coming up during the death jam times, and it was, I don't lie, the urban shit was wild as fuck. Like, these New York motherfuckers were like, boom, I don't give a fuck. Yeah. I didn't even go up yet. Yeah. They went to boo. They'd be like, I'm just letting you know what's about to happen to you, son.

Don't be corny out here, son. Yeah. It's what a God, son. All you see was Pele, paylay jackets and fucking echo jackets and shit like that. Yeah. Like this is like this. Make me laugh. Like, ain't you on a date?

Yeah, all right. You're like, damn, son. What the fuck? You were Brooke. I did all. But in Chicago, we had our urban circuit because I came under Bernie Max Club. So it was me. Dion Cole, I would see Dionne Coe Cori Holcomb, D-Wa-Davis.

I see Mike Apps would come from Indianapolis. Cedric would come from St. Louis. So we was under Bernie Mac shit. So we were doing urban, like Chicago urban scene was like, you know, we had Bishop Don Juan. You know the guy that hangs out with Snoop. I know him before Snoop, though. He knew me as an amateur. When I shot Soul Playing with Snoop, Bishop came on the set and greeted me first.

Wow. He came on. He said, baby, man, I'm proud of you, baby, man. You've been, man, I remember when you first started, baby. He represents Chicago. Yeah. And Snoop was like, how fuck you know? I said, I'm from Chicago, Snoop.

He goes, that's why I fuck with you, dog. Yeah. I love Chicago. I said, yeah, we used to do pimps shows in Chicago where the pimps who come, Bernie Mac, and there would be those Chicago Bulls when we was winning. Yeah. When we was giving the next hand in that day age, boy. A lot of years of that.

Yeah. A lot of years of that. That was the greatest playoff shit ever. But that was the time when I was coming to New York wearing Jordan T-shirts, just being an asshole. And Katz was like, no, fuck you, man. I go, yo, I'm not playing in the game, bro. Go say that to Jordan, man.

Say it to me. I'm right here telling jokes, bro. I did shit like that. I dug myself in a hole every time I'd be wearing Jordan shit. Like Jordan had real special, like, he had a store. It was Jordan's head of restaurant in Chicago. and there were t-shirts you can only get from that store. So I would buy these exclusive.

So I had one where he's a cyborg, Jordan, the greatest. And I came on stage with that shit in Brooklyn. I was in Brooklyn. I think I went up after Chappelle or D.C. Benny went up. They was like, you'll fuck Chicago. I go, you're losing. It does no good. Jordan's still going to score 50.

You being mad here at this comedy show is going to do you no good, my friend. He will still score 50. Did you know? The only reason why you're in Madison Square Garden is for Michael Joel. Exactly. Don't forget. Exactly.

Go ahead. Did you know in Chicago at that time? Because that list you just named off coming under the Bernie. This is all Bernie Mac. Bernie Mac was like the guy. And my boy Evan Lionel, Evan, my big brother is the one that got Bernie up. People don't know Evan. Evan's like this old Chicago dude, my big brother who started like the black comedy circuit

when he was in college and just put, he was the first guy to put money. in our pockets and he's the one that brought Bernie into the scene. He got footage on Bernie doing open mics. Wow. He got shit on Bernie doing open mics. I've seen it. When Bernie wasn't rich, when Bernie was just funny with his little glasses and shit, some of my bitch.

Fuck your motherfucker. Yeah. Yeah. He got footage on all of us when we first started, Evan Lionel. Remember that name. He's the one that stopped Bernie from a life of crime. He's the one that went to high school with Bernie. Chicago Vocational High School, Bernard McCullum.

You know what I mean? He said, Bernie, man, come do my shows, do that. You're talented. That's the dude we need to talk about. Evan Lionel, for real. He brought us all into that, you know what I'm saying? He's still in L.A. And anytime Chicago,

anything that happens with Chicago, we always let him know while I'm in town. You know, he looks out for Chicago shit. So D. Ray, all of us came through there. I saw everybody. D.L. Hughley came through to everybody. Then we had a club. club called All Jokes Aside, which was an all black comedy club for like seven years.

And it was all black. And it wasn't black night at a white establishment because most of the black nights are at a mainstream establishment. Urban nights. I'm sorry. The urban people nights. The rough nights, economically. But what's funny is the urban nights are what keeps the clubs open.

Absolutely. They make the most money. But they won't say anything about that. Because it, and, and what's funny is most of the African American headliners are the reasons why a lot of these comedy clubs survive. It isn't the white ones. It isn't the, uh, like it's like the black ones always kept shit going because the urbanites made. It was pat. Yeah.

Because it was like, oh, this is our night, you know. And, um, yeah, that's, that's where we, that's where I came from watching all of the, Mark Curry. I just watched all the greats come through there, man. Like, it was like, holy shit. shit. Maw, I am tired of seeing these ads where it looks like it's a great price and then you get the bill later and it is not what they advertise. But that does not happen with Boost Mobile.

You said don't invite you? I never get invited to that. Really? I don't get invited to any of that shit.

We just got invited because of Boost Mobile. Yeah, well, that's great. Well, thanks to Boost Mobile. But you were on, like, Comic View. You did the BT Comic View. I did that after they started paying us normal money. Because they used to pay you $150 and make you pay your own way. I found that out.

And I said, I'm with SAG. I ain't doing that shit. I'm like, I'm with SAG after. Then they go, we're now, we have SAG. I'll pay you this. I go, okay, gentlemen's salary. That's cool. Yeah.

I'll do it now. Yeah. So I did it in Atlanta. Mm-hmm. Like 2000? 2000. Comic view was big, though. It was huge, but I didn't want to do it.

$150. Now I'm good. Yeah, yeah. But I did it. I did it four times. I did it L.A., Chicago, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Okay. And yeah, it worked out.

You know, I was happy because I liked Comic View. People were watching the shit out of it. It was its highest rated show. And I said, well, you pay us decent. I'll do it So yeah that was cool That was cool Another platform that I always speak about a lot

That I absolutely love growing up That I think we don't speak about Or give enough praise to And live in color Oh man Come on man He and Ivy Wayne's the Wayne's family Genius genius

How important is a show like that To black comic Man it's super important Because you look at something like SNL And you had Eddie Murphy Who changed the game But let's get Gary Morrison props Because he was the first black member

in 1975. But then Eddie Murphy took it to a level of he was a great, he's the greatest SNL member ever, ever. So, but by far. Because he was the only member to host while he was on the show. He hosted SNL while he was on the show. Eddie Murphy brought it to number one. SNL was in third place.

Eddie Murphy brought it to number one, period. Like, ain't nobody fucking with Eddie Murphy. I don't know anybody say. Ain't nobody. And there are some great ones. Will Farrell's great. Mike Myers. There's a lot.

Tim Kassarinsky, Joe Piscop. A lot of great ones like, Mary Gross. There was like, what's her name? The one who does the superstar. Oh, uh, Molly Shannon, like, oh, Sherry O'Terry. Like, there's some great, but no one's fucking with Eddie Murphy. No way. I'm sorry.

Eddie was the shit. And that was important. And everybody wanted to be Eddie Murphy. We were like, Eddie, but we all wanted to be Eddie Murphy. And then when in living color came, you go, what, an all black sketch? because you were used to seeing all white sketch. Because most sketch, like improv, I come from Chicago, where Second City.

That's where a lot of people from S&L come from. John Belushi was, Belushi, Stephen Colbert, Chris Farley. I worked as a bar back in Second City. I got a job. My friend was working. She goes, you want a job? I go, yeah, you know, I'm off for colleges. She's like, yeah, you want to work in the bar?

I say, yeah, fuck it, you know, wash dishes, make. drinks and that's when I saw Chris Farley. And I go, who's that fat dude? That dude's funny as shit. Tim Meadows and then I would watch them. I'm like 16. I'm like, yo, that fat dude's slamming himself into the table and shit. And he was from Wisconsin,

but he lived in Chicago, but a lot of Stephen Colbert, a lot of people came, what's her name? Um, what Sherry O'Terry O'Terry came from Second City? Um, um, what's the main lady? Tina Faye. They're all from Second City, Chicago.

So their sketch was sketch is big in Chicago. All the improv, Olympics, but it was very white. It wasn't, not a lot of black people, not a lot of Asians, nothing. It was white dominated. So to see, they live in color was like, yo, what the fuck? And this is, and Jim Carrey gives credit to them. Yeah, absolutely. Because he goes, SNL rejected me.

I was, the black people accepted me. Jim Carrey's like, nobody chose me. Nobody hired me. But it was Keenan Ivy Wands, who's, a fucking genius. Keenan is the one that made me who I am. Jim Carrey said, and Jim Carrey is the first guy ever opened up for in Chicago. Really?

Illinois Institute of Technology. My friend was an engineering student and she was head of the student activity, the black student year. She goes, you want to open up for Jim Carrey? I said, are you fucking kidding me? I love Jim Carrey. So I opened up for him. I did 10 minutes with Harlan Williams.

If you know Harlan Williams. Yeah. And yeah, that was my first big. That was when Jim, right before he blew up for a pet detective, I was in the basement with this motherfucker, just talking to him. He was the nicest dude. And now I'm friends with his daughter. Years later, I know Jane.

My boy is the day that now I'm cool with his daughter, which is insane. That's wow. What was that combo like in the basement? It was just, he was just like, oh, so what are you doing? You know, like, hey, what are you up to now? Well, I got this. We were just talking normal shit. He goes, oh, you're really funny.

It was just, and I have a picture with him. Like, and that's what. And then after that, he just, and he's so fucking. talented. He's scary talented. But I always, but guys like Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy and like from the Joan Rivers to the Rodney Davisville to the Richard Pryors to the Paul Mooney's to the, Don Rickles to, I grew up watching greats, man, Sammy Davis Jr. Like I grew up watching cold motherfuckers, man. I said, I got to be like that. I don't, being average to me is trash. I don't, I don't get that. Watching Michael Jordan like a motherfucker who would practice after the games and shit.

he would work on his shit like when you're used to watching that in your life i go that's how i want to be i don't want to be okay fuck that right i think it's i think it's a i think it's a it's a it's sacrilege for people to pay money to watch average shit to me i don't it doesn't necessarily mean you have to like what i'm saying right but as far as my skill level yeah is the key right i'm i grew up i don't know i grew up watching skilled performers and this is an era of mediocre motherfuckers man Mediocre shit. Mediocre shit. I'm sorry.

It's not a, it's not a hater thing. It's like, if you're good, I'm gonna say it. I go, yo, that's what I'm talking about. Mediocre shit. Like, come on now. Do you think is that or we just have more access to seeing more people? I think that the mediocrity has inspired more mediocre people. Yeah, I agree.

Because when I was coming up, you go, I can't do that shit. Yeah. You were just watching and go, damn. Fuck, man. When you watch Jordan and you watching Ewing and all, you go, oh, God, that's another level. Because I play baseball, football. You know, I played all that.

But to watch Shannon Sharp play ball, that's a whole other level. Yeah. And I played college ball, but I was like, damn, there's people better than me. Yeah. Fuck, like, and you're like, I'm decent. Yeah. Oh, this dude, what the? When you go to the pro levels, I tell people the pro level,

that's why when people are in the stands talking shit about pro athletes, keep your mouth shut. We all, we all suck. That's why we're sitting here wearing this motherfucker's jersey, bitch. And your face is half-painted with your dumb buddies. We paid a lot of money to watch them.

Your faces half-painted with their names on their bellies, you fucking bitches. And you're going, man, he missed that pass. You would have missed it too, stupid. You wouldn't have been to take the past. Right, right. You're flagged football champ. Shut your mouth.

Yeah. He's a flag. Yeah. So I'm saying like, I just, I really believe when you perform, you want people to go, God damn. Yeah.

That was, that's when I'm, that's how I take my shit. I only know, I only watched the best. So, but like this business is a weird. It's like, I didn't know show business was so weird where when you were good, the people had a problem with that. Yeah. I'm not able. I was like, wait, what?

Because Bill Cosby, I worked, my first job was working with Cosby. Like, I was, I was an audience coordinator in Queens, New York. And I would, you know, and to watch Cosby do his shit, my motherfucking, no one. you don't wait, fuck on Cosby, bro. For real. Like, I saw this shit to see him do his work. I was like, ain't nobody fuck on him. Like, because Pryor wanted to be Cosby.

People understand. He inspired Richard Pryor. Cosby is that. I know all this shit that's happened with him, but Cosby is the fucking king. For real. What about audience that he asked you to coordinate? Oh, God.

The fact that you waited for it, he was like this. He was like, wait, I got to say it. I don't like your eagerness that pissed me off. He's like this. You're like, ready? I love that you observed that. What kind of audience?

You were waiting to say it for sure. You were like this. Because you were, you did the butt on the Cosby thing. You were like, I did. It's like I saw the pitch coming. I smacked it out the park.

You were like this. What's funny is I was going to take it back in my head. But then when you said, forget about the Cosby thing. So what about what did he coordinate? Say it now, say it now. That's in my head of one. There deserves a, three, or four.

Yeah, I was, you know, where's, where's the family feud buzzer? Like, your ass thought your ass was funny, boy. Some of us are your yoga. Top five answers on the board. Here's the question. Name something. Lori wants to say when he has a joke in his head. A coordination.

Bha-hawn. Shutting up with the number one answer. Shutting up. What? What? Rhythm. Oh, my. Cory was like, I mean,

Roy was like, that's all folks. I saw you fumbling. Well, God, you, you are, Roy. Like, so you're defending. You're defending.

You're defending. Whoa. Whoa. Sorry, Boost Mobile. Damn, the boost mobile thing came off. Now they don't know How are we going to pay for these lights? So, God, for you all know for obviously your impressions.

Who's the one impression that you probably love doing the most? Drop, man. I fucking don't get him started. This is such a great show. Very good. Boost mobile. Very good.

You should have me sponsor. Boost is terrible. What are they boosting? Nothing. This is so great. So great. It's wonderful. This is a very good podcast.

They've been a way better. But I think you, you can do better. I really believe you can. Boost supports you, though. Boost, yeah, they're wonderful, but they're pieces of shit. What they need is a boost for me. I should call them bootleg. Which carrier would you use if you were to call in the nukes?

Calling the nukes with carrier. There are many carriers out there. I know very carriers. There's Mariah carrier. There's a lot There's Carrie the movie There's that one There's so many carries

I know very good A very much Jim carries I know all the carries There's a lot of carries A lot of carries Gary Fischer's There's So many carries

I know I know a running back There's lots of carries So I'm very good at it You tried to trick me That's very rude Very rude I'm my vocabulary

very extensive. Who are your, we'll be talking about black comedians after you're living color, some great comics to come out of there. But another thing

about living color, they saved Fox, though. They literally saved Fox and then they changed the whole halftime highlight thing, you know, because the halftime,

they took the numbers away from halftime show. That's how big they were. So they changed, they changed television, they helped Fox, and because there was a time where they say

black people don't sell, which was bullshit. They actually do Sell, Tommy Davidson, because Tommy Davidson had come to my college and perform. That's where I really got inspired to do comedy in my third year college. I was like, and I, no doubt. And I hung out with Tommy Davidson. And then when I started doing comedy, I did a premium blend on Comedy Central when Comedy

Central was actually funny. And Tommy Davidson was my host, which was crazy, crazy. And he had remembered me, oh, you showed me around your campus. Crazy shit. Yeah, but they saved, they saved Fox. Black people have saved Eddie Murphy saved SNL. In Living Color saved Fox. Wesley Snipes saved Marvel in 99 because I hung out with Stanley three times.

My friend used to work for Stanley. And when he was 89 and I was in his office and he goes, he goes, yeah, Godfrey, let me show you a picture of, you say Wesley Snipes there. Wesley Snipes, he saved Marvel. We were going on, we were going bankrupt if it wasn't for Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes saved fucking Marvel And we didn't see another Yeah, Blade did Wow

Blade sold Wesley, I remember It was huge And Wes and Blade one and two Then three they started fucking it up Yeah Brought Ryan Reynolds in All these and Parker Plaza

Like he's getting corny now And And you never saw another blade again And then the blade that was coming out They stopped that production 25 years later There's no blade And it saved all of Marvel

Then when Blade showed up on Deadpool, people went like, oh my God, but black people sell. Look at what Black Panther did. It was the highest grossing Marvel film. We sell, man. You just don't want us to have anything. You got to get out of that old adage, man. We sell. You know why I know black people sell? Because you copy us all around the world. Everybody's DJing, pop, lock, and rapping, fuck you. Like, black culture is the best culture on the planet. It just is. It's not, if it was Asian culture, I'd say it. Black culture is the best because I see Asians on TikTok pop lock and DJ and blah blah blah. I see everybody doing black shit. So it's obviously

selling. Right. You know what I'm saying? So fuck, fuck your adage. Get with it and just fucking let people rock. Like black people sell. Right. We're fucking cool. Listen, I like white actors. I've been watching them all my life. Yeah. Oh my life. No choice. I love. I had no choice. I love Steve McQueen. Yeah. I love Charles Bronson. Yeah, yeah. I love. Yeah. I love. Yeah. Fuck. Right.

Monkey Man is fire. It's with Dave Patel from Slumdog Millionaire and, you know, the guy, the little nerdy kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He made a movie called Monkey Man. Jordan Peel produced it. So I'm going to produce it because he was trying to get it sold. It was like sort of like a John Wick, but an Indian style. It's fantastic.

And he said, I'm tired of playing this stereotypical nerdy Indian. dude. We know there, we can do action. We can do the stuff like the white guys do. And he sort of like funded it himself. Jordan Peel produced. It is fantastic. It's like we don't mind seeing white actors, but the world, 7% of the world is white. Seven percent. Yeah. Population wise. You guys go by American standards. Yeah. 7% of the world is white. Seven. The rest is brown. Where the fuck are we? what's wrong with showing us why is it killing you to just like look

Don't, I'm gonna tell you right now, there's a difference between hate and rage. We have rage. You have hate for no reason. Rage is all of us. We have every reason to take your head off, but we don't do that because that's not our nature. That's not our nature.

As long as you cool, we go, oh, man, he cool as fuck. Right. And we'll protect you if you cool. But then you go say some stupid shit. We're like, oh, we thought, It's like, okay, here's a perfect example. It's like when Kramer, Michael Richards, said what he said.

I worked with Michael Richards at the laugh factory, and I sat with him. He's a weird dude, but I sat as a comic. And then he said all the N-word shit and I went shit. And I remember walking down the street and there was these dudes, they're cleaning the streets. They got that program where they were the blue little things. It's like for prisoners. They got this cleaning program.

And I was walking. I was standing there by the train. station and these dudes was like, man, you hear that shit, Kramer said, man, man, I love that motherfucker too. I love, he was my favorite character on Seinfeld. It was black people talking about him. Wow, that was a disappointment. I said, why, why? Why are you still on that?

And then they'll say, move on. You guys need to move on. You're the only race that hasn't moved on. You're the only ones. You still call people niggas. What are you doing? That's an old term. Four hundred years. You're still saying the same shit. Everybody's

moving on but you. Yeah. You're still on that old, that old mentality. Get rid of it, bro. Enough of it. There was a conversation

on, and I'm, because you are Nigerian-American. Was this too heavy for you? No, no, this was great. This was amazing.

You sure you don't want me to ask this question? No, I definitely don't want me to ask this question. But there was a, there was a, from the coordination. There was a time, there was a thing on the timeline.

I can't wait to say it. There was a thing on a timeline that happens often on a timeline where, black Americans and black Africans. Oh yeah, here we go. Clash. Yeah, no doubt. We don't like this. And y'all this.

We're fucking right. We don't like each other. Yeah. What is that about? Oh, that's, like I said, it's, you can give it to the media for that credit. One thing, okay, here's a reason why the Asians got their Asian hate bill signed. Remember, they got that shit signed in seconds. Yeah, two days.

Because they're connected to, because they're connected to Asia. Chinese people still got connection to Asia. And the Asians, and they got deals with Asia. So they go, it would be who of us to sign this hate bill? Because the Asians in Asia look out for the Asians here. Because they got family out here that are establishing themselves. Even though Chinese had been here since what, the early, that's 1700, 1800s. Built the railroads for Anderson Cooper's granddad.

Yeah, I don't know. Was it Oakland or what? No, Vanderbilt. San Francisco. San Francisco, yeah. Cornelius Vanderbilt is Anderson Cooper's great-grandfather. Yeah. And there's a statue of him on 46.

You know when you make that turn off a Park Avenue? That statue, that's his great-great-grandfather. Anderson Cooper comes from that kind of money. He literally lives in a firehouse. The one on Third Street that used to be right next to the Boston Comedy Club. He bought that whole firehouse. But he's loaded like that. Like Gloria Vanderbilt, that's his mother, famous tragedy.

So the Chinese look out for their people. They, no, those are our people. You better sign some shit. What's you doing? Africa is divided. See, because Europeans came and purposely divided the African countries. You know you have to have a passport to go to the neighboring country. But in Europe, you could take a train to Italy, to France.

Because I took a train from Spain to Amsterdam to Spain. You don't need a passport. But they came, the Europeans came when they were colonizing and taking all the resources. They literally purposely bordered off African countries so Africans couldn't meet each other. That's where the division comes from colonization. Right. So when on TV, you know, I was born in America.

My sister was born in Nigeria. My brother born in America, grew up in Chicago. I born in Nebraska. My father was in school in Nebraska. Then we moved to Chicago. So on TV, we would watch Africa, and it would be poor people, belly, flies and Tarzan.

And I need to be to ask my dad, is this what Africa is? We'll tell you talking. We have caught. We have. We were like, right. Yeah, yeah. So then they show that to us.

So Africans, African Americans, like, yeah, these Africans are fucked up. Then in Africa, they show black Americans being arrested, criminals, drug dealing. So they purposely did that because they didn't want any black progress. That was like, we can't let these motherfuckers rise. So that's why when you, when the African meets an African American, be like, oh, you black African booty scratches. I was the most black African booty scratches. I was like, we scratch our butts?

I usually think, and I didn't even want to scratch my ass. I don't want to stereotype. You don't know what I'm interested right now. I can't do that. I don't want to do this. I'm like, but then we would thought, and then Africans would be like, oh, you guys are lazy, da, da, da, and African Americans are some of the most unlazy people. If you know the history of African American history, they built this fucking country.

lazy white people were lazy they weren't doing anything right black people did everything you'd even know that denim denim denim is a black invention mm-hmm denim jeans are a black invention because they created them to work in the fields denim you talk about i'm just saying the elevator the escalator all of this is black inventions the street sweeper is a black invention but it makes sense we were working all the time right the ironing board the dryer refrigeration it's black the microphones we talk on the guy's still alive he created it James West

black inventor our security system 1966 of a black nurse Mary Van Brighton in Queens she just she created the fucking security system you understand where I'm coming from it's like we created so much African Americans

created lazy fuck are you talking about but they were stolen patents were stolen Thomas Edison stole a lot of black people shit I mean, he was a great inventor, but he stole a lot of shit too. And he did a lot of shit, horrible shit, to Jewish people who were trying to make movies. That's how Hollywood was created. They had to move to LA because Thomas Edison was trying to take up, because he had created the movie camera.

But then there were like a lot of little Jewish, like, you know, immigrants going, I want to start, we want to start doing movies. And that's how the Nickelodeons were made. The Nickelodeons were little, you know, little films you put a nickel in. Yeah. And you'd watch. And those Jewish people were like, you know, renting them out. And they were, it's so anti-Semitic, Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were anti-Semitic,

go get these motherfuckers out of here. And a lot of them went west and then started creak, Lewis B. Mayor, Warner Brothers. These are all real people, Fox, William Fox. They started creaking their own shit. You know what I'm saying? Because of people stealing all, you know what I mean? I'm just saying. But survival, it was just survival.

That's why when you see, like, the whole Jewish story is heavy. Like they were getting their ass is whooped And they go let's create our own shit Same with black folks Creating creating Look at all of American music All of it Blacks people oppressed

We create country music Country music is black So absolutely Fuck all that shit Yeah It's black It was poor black people singing And poor whites were like

I won't sing too You know Bluegrass We call it blue grass It's black It's black It's African It's African

There's a museum in Scottsdale, Arizona, of all places, called the Museum of Instrumental Music. It's MIM. I think they have one in Austria. When you walk in there, it's all the instruments from their original origin.

From every continent, they divide them all in. Africa is the biggest one, of course. They have Australia. If you look at Australia, they have video of the actual instrument being played. Australia, you gotta see Australia. Fuck you up.

They show the Aborigines. Okay. And so everybody's like, who are they? They go, those are the original Australians. And they're playing the did you redo? They're playing all these instruments that people thought it was white. And it's the, they show the black people with their tribal marks. And it's just them.

And I go, the original shit. And then when you walk into another place, there's the original banjo, the banjo, African. So all these hillbillies have been going, da-da-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-dang-n-n-dang. Playing an African instrument. You understand? man. So all of that is like all of that they don't want, that's why this administration say we got to stop black history. We got to ban all the books because they don't want you to know what the

fuck has been done, what they did. Because most of, let's be honest, most of black American history is about being shit on. Oh, absolutely. That's all they were being. It's being shit. And it's, and that's why they go, we don't want to talk. No, no, no. We need to talk about it. You know why we need to talk about it. We got to understand why you're still acting that way right now. You have to know history, and I don't want to sound corny, you have to know history to assess how a motherfucker is now. Why do you act like that? Where's this coming from?

Well, we just move on. No, but you call me the N word. I need to know where it comes from. Oh, gotcha. So that helps me to be able to navigate. Yeah. You understand? So it's like, okay, if you go to the doctor, what's the first thing they pull out?

What's the first thing they pull out? Your insurance form. I know some real shit, though. We can't help. But the first thing they pull out is your medical history. Yeah, absolutely. They go, oh, and they make you go, you fill this out. Have you had?

Do you take, it? It's all history. Yeah. The dentist to bring out, okay, when you was last here, let's see, that's the same thing. But for us, it's always just, can we just move? But everybody else's history gets talked about. But us is like, oh, here we go with the black shit. Well, you're enjoying half of our shit.

you're enjoying black shit every day. Every day. You just got back from a Beyonce concert. And you're mad about history now? You just, Beyonce comes from this pain. Yeah. Jay-Z comes from, where do you think hip-hop comes from? Right.

It comes from pain. Black people were doing it. It was black folks rapping. Period. Jazz, black, everything. Sky, ska music is, it's Caribbean rock and roll. And it was a lot of white band. playing the shit.

Punk rock is black. You can look at the, you can look at the band called death documentary that predates to Ramones. Black shit. Stop. Rock and roll. Most of what Led Zeppelin stole.

They got sued for plagiarism. No white guy goes, I'll be your back door, man. That's a black riff. Hey mama, that's black. White guys don't talk about that. His name is James Brown.

Hey, baby. That's a black riff. Yeah. When you go, baby, That's black singing. It just is what it is. Yeah, yeah. The only reason why we say it like that, we got to express it

because you have been putting us down so much. But the very thing you're playing is the people you hated are the ones that created it. Because anybody that plays music, you have to go through black people. All of them. They'll all tell you. Oh, we started listening to Muddy Waters and we start listening to the temptation. I watch a lot of rock documentaries. You know that new documentary, Yacht Rock?

You know about yacht rock? I know what Yacht Rock is. It's just like Michael, you know, Michael McDonald. Yeah. You know, what a fool, believe. All that shit. Skags, Baskags. All of that shit.

George Benton, all that. Like, it was like soft rock, but not too soft, but funky. I'm watching it on, it's a great, it's a great doc. And I'm watching it. And these guys created this, these, they did these skits about yacht rock. They made it up. And they have these captain's hats and they play this music on this boat. And it was just that type of music.

Soft rock, but not, but rock, but doesn't rock too hard. And it's right in the middle. And Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross are main people from there. And then I'm like waiting. I'm like, I'm waiting for the black part. And so I'm waiting and go, basically we're playing like black fuck. I told you. Of course you are.

Why's what we love Michael McDonald? Because he has a black sound to him. A lot of people didn't even know Michael McDonald was black until I found that out. They didn't know Billy Paul. was Bobby Caldwell. Yeah. Yeah. But that's some of you a favorite song and they didn't know. Hullin'Oats. They're from Philly. I read a whole thing about it. There used to be

this really good magazine called Wax Poetics. WP. They got rid of about like alternative shit like underground hip. It was a dope-ass magazine I used to get from Barnes & Noble. And I was reading about Hall of Notes and they go, we learned our shit from the temptation. They used to take us on the road. Motown. The Philly sound. Philadelphia. The sound of Philadelphia. T-S-O-P?

It was all the padula bells And we learned from them I go of course you did Because you play like them Right And but I don't What I don't understand is the same people You plur from you don't like

I don't that's a weird That's a disease That's a psychosis to me Tony Morrison said it best What are white people without racism What are you? Are you any good? You're just out there strung out

What are you without it? I mean what are you? Irish Yeah Irish I know, you look very Irish. Rory, I was like, yeah. Rory McCallagher said, well, you look very honest.

But the Celtics, the Celtics come from Africa. Celtic Celtic, Celtic history is African. If you know about the Celtics, it's African. Shit, you look it up and really read, yeah, it's African. So, I mean, but then the story of St. Patrick's day, that snake thing had to do with the pygmies. had to do them getting the pygmies out of that area. And it was an Irish historian that said it.

I was like, what? He goes, he didn't drive out the snakes. It was the African pygmies that were there. That's where it came from. So, I mean, a lot of people got a- We tried to change it to getting the British out of Ireland. I know the original story. Right, it's the Africans.

But we changed it to make it fun. Yeah. I'm saying, tricksies. But the oompa lupas in Willie Woon are black slaves, but they change it to green people. Yeah. I just read all the shit. Just look it up.

I go, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, man. So it's like the history of us and society. Yeah. It's been fucked up. So when we talk about our history, it's all about you fucking with us. Yeah. And then, but the fact that we create this cold ass shit called jazz and blues and bebop and gospel and sketch,

that's a, that's a magical shit. to me and then you profit off of it. Right. You could at least say thank you because they go, because like, you know, when you talk about this, people go, you don't like white people. I said, why are you going to there? Why, you just uncomfortable? I'm talking

to you. I don't like white people. I don't like your behavior. It's the behavior. I judge people by, there's black people I don't like. What you talk about? Absolutely. I judge people, but you're so caught up in not owning up to anything and learning that you're, it's the guilt shit. You don't like white people,

Really? Is that what it is? I go, I shouldn't like you. At least I got reason. At least I got reason to not laugh. I really have a reason to not fuck with you. But I'm not like that. You know? But you don't have a reason to hate us.

You just do. You just out of nowhere. I don't like you. Why? Just don't like you. Huh? What kind of sense does that make? Yeah. Yeah.

But you all up in our soup, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You all up in our soup, though. Yeah, yeah. And I even said, okay, segregation, that's fine. Well, let's have segregation then. But this time it has to be equal, though. You can't come and burn our towns.

You can't come and ride it with your sheets and, Yee-Ha! That's, that day's over. You ain't going to try that this time. Yeah, no, no, no. You ain't coming back a lot. That's facts. You're not doing that, yeha-ha shit here.

Second Amendment exists. Yeah, yeah. It's no good when the rat, it's no fun when the rabbit gets the gun. And motherfuckers are gunned up. Yeah, that's a fact. And I've seen these videos where everyone's like, man, come now, dog. Yo, man, we're ready for all this race bullshit. If you ready for that smoke, dog, that's cool.

We have switches. Yeah, yeah. But my thing is, like, they're talking about race war, but as soon as your mom or your daddy get fucked up, now you're going to be like, wait, stop. Yeah. Because you've done too much. And people ain't playing with you no more.

Rage is different. When it's built up, built up, you don't know what a man is capable of. Yeah. When it's right, when you're just hating off of just, when you have real, real rage and this is years of it, you're dealing with the wrong motherfucker, man.

Yeah. You don't understand. People are tired of this kind of behavior. Women are tired of men with their shit. Same thing. Women are tired of this shit. We're tired of that. Stop.

Yeah. We're sick of it, man. Yeah. And you can see it now. We tired of that shit. There's rage. I just hate women. Why?

You came from one. I got news. I got news. for you. It means you gay. Right, right. Right. I got news for you. I mean you're gay. I got news for you. Funny as iced tea line of all time. And that's real shit. Yeah, absolutely. Like, why do you

hate them so much? Why? Yeah. Like, something's wrong with you came from one, bro? Like, it's that same thing. Yeah. But don't underestimate them. Yeah. They're tired of your shit. That's all I'm saying. I'm just like, you know, I just, that's the thing I think of. It always says, when you're conscious man, you're a dune man. That's what James Bar. Baldwin said. It's like you just when you, I read so much. I've since college, I've always read.

And you know, in Chicago, I would go see minister, the minister. I would go see them live. Yeah. So I was just learning so much shit. And I was around, you know, I had sister soldier come to our school, Stokely Carmichael, Francis Chris Wilson. We had Deruba Ben Wahad, who was actual Black Panther member with Afini Shakur. Okay. He's in the doc. You see the documentary Tupac? Mm-hmm. Of course. And he's in that. And I, he came to my college. I fucking, we'd stat with him. So I was that dude. Listening to public enemy,

Karras, like all that Brand Nubian. Yeah. Peace of the gods and the earths. Yeah. And the flat earthers. Yeah.

And the flat earthers. Piece of the flat earth is crazy. But it was like all of that consciousness was like, and I go, pro blackness doesn't mean anti anything. It means pro. We're proud of who we are.

Right. Because you have to exaggerate your pride because people are sitting on you every day. And then the images, think about the images they show of us. So that's why we're Africans and blacks will fight because, oh, you guys are lazy. Well, you guys don't have no food. It was media.

Yeah. But now you see things are changing. Look at what Ibrahim Trioi, the brother from Burkina Faso and the Mali and they've kicked out the French. Like there's a couple of black leaders that are coming together going, we're going to have no more taking our shit anymore. Because Europe survived. I didn't know that Europe was surviving off.

African resource. When I was little, I was thinking, wow, they got diamonds and where did they get all this from? They were stealing from Africa. Yeah. They were stealing. I didn't know. The reason the UK is a small-ass island that's controlled the whole fucking continent. It's a peninsula. Europe is included himself. It could sink in 10 years. And the UK is so tiny, United Kingdom. Yeah. United with who. Right, right. It's like, you primitive Africans, really? The spear is one of the Smartest weapons ever, ever, ever invented. You can do everything with the spear, bow staff. You can do everything, hunt, you can do walk with it.

You can, and we were the primitive ones. Right. It's like, but I understand if you're less, if you're a smaller group of people, how do you control a bigger group of people? You got to find ways to divide and conquer. You got to, it's actually a brilliant, it was brilliant. Yeah. I give them credit for that.

Absolutely. Then you mentally fuck them and say you ain't shit for a long time. they start fighting amongst each other. And then they want to be like the guys in power. And it's actually brilliant. I'm mad. I'm mad, but I ain't mad at it.

Yeah, you understand it. That's the only way. It's like it's all about capitalism, money, domination. I get it. You know? But at this day and age,

like, come on. Yeah. We still doing that. We got people like, you know, you probably just your boy, you're going to back him up on anything. Like,

this is my man. I don't go, fuck what you're talking about. There's groups like that. There's white dudes that grown up with nothing but black people that are adopted by black people. And vice versa. Like, no, this is my name.

This is my man. You go fuck who you are. Right. Fuck you're talking about. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's the shit we should be on. Yeah. You work with the people that you work with.
