No Jumper - Druski Full Interview

Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And today we got one of the current, funniest people on the internet, the one only Drewski in the building. How you doing, man? I'm good. I'm good, man. I'm very excited to have you in here. Every once in a while, occasionally we get to have somebody on the show who is just like

Starting point is 00:00:20 presently making me laugh my ass off on such a regular basis. And I feel like, you know, especially over the last couple months, I've just been kind kind of constantly having that conversation with people about your videos, you know? And I'm going back, I realize you've been doing it for a few years now, but it's kind of crazy, like, how this stuff has been taken off and how quickly a lot of your stuff has gone viral. But, I mean, I feel like, shit, I've been doing it for some years now. So it's like, I actually, I love that this shit is not going like a super fast, like jump up because there's a lot of motherfuckers that get up like that.

Starting point is 00:00:56 Maybe like that one thing that you do. You know what I'm saying? and like, oh, he says this at the end of every video. So when everybody comes up to you, like, oh, let me get a video you're saying this. Let me get it. And it's like a super quick, like jump up, get a million followers or a couple million followers and boom, it's over, you know what I'm saying? See, that's smart because I wasn't thinking of it like that, but that is very true.

Starting point is 00:01:13 That a lot of times they'll have people where they'll have one killer joke and that joke becomes too big. And then they can never really live up to that. And everything is kind of just nipping at the heels of trying to be that one thing. And then it's like, I just hate the annoying thing because I've seen it happen so many times. I'll go to like the club and you'll see that guy that blew up off of that one thing. And everybody's like, oh, record him, record him, record him. Then he's done doing that one thing. Then people are just walking away like, oh, yeah, that's the guy that does the one thing

Starting point is 00:01:40 right there. Yeah. Like, yeah, fuck that guy. He's like, if you haven't been for a quick, 10 second video. Right. If you haven't been online long enough or if you haven't been like really paying attention long enough, you don't really realize that there is like a shelf life on a lot of jokes or a lot of catchphrases. And a lot of times people would be going absolutely nuts for something for a week and then it's like you couldn't sell a t-shirt that said that thing on it a week later and it's and it's over the neck so yeah no i just been building everything up and that's that's i'd rather want it because i see a lot of people i mean there's been people ahead of me that i look up to this whole time and i and i have no problem with catching them at a slow pace you know

Starting point is 00:02:15 i'm saying because i'm just building building buildings and hopefully when people look back it's like damn he did that he did that he did that you know what i'm saying so i'm just building this whole Let me guess, from my perspective, the stuff that has really gone crazy and taken off was basically just you doing rapper stuff. Is that accurate or what's the biggest stuff? Not really. The biggest shit. I mean, I don't know. I have countless shit.

Starting point is 00:02:37 So I wouldn't even just say the rapist. That's more recent. I think that's when I, you had hit me up when around that time. But that's more recent. So it's just some shit I've just been doing. I see it catching traction. But I mean, I've done all types of stuff. I've done like redneck stuff.

Starting point is 00:02:51 I've done frat boy stuff. I've done shit. You name it I didn't did it. See, the Frat Boy stuff is super funny to me because, like, myself, as a white person, I have not spent a lot of time around frat people, so I don't really, like, know what they're up to. But as I started to watch your stuff, I was like, man, this is a dude who actually, like, you clearly have been around that type of people

Starting point is 00:03:10 because you have a lot of observations about the stuff that they're doing. Yeah. And from watching a little bit of your interviews and stuff, I guess we might as well take it back to the beginning. So where are you from? I'm from Gwinnett and Georgia. That's a county in Georgia. It's Gwinnett County from the North Side.

Starting point is 00:03:25 Stupid nof's side. Just got to throw that. All right. But yeah, no, I'm from Gwinnett. So I'm from a place where it's a lot of, it's a suburb. So it's a lot of black people. It's a lot of white people. It's a lot of every culture everywhere.

Starting point is 00:03:37 So pretty much I grew up in that area where I'm seeing so many different things. Like we have a side of Atlanta where I grew up in and it's just, I've seen a lot of black people that were in the streets. And I've seen a lot of white people that were like super suburban. And I'm around them and some of them went off to college. Some of the kids that didn't go off to college are in the streets and stuff. You know what I'm saying? So I grew up around a lot of different, like, cultures all in one. And I feel like, I don't know if I adapted to that, but I just, I picked up a lot of, like, comedy from seeing every single little thing from those sides.

Starting point is 00:04:10 You know what I mean? Right. No, I figured that out pretty early because I was like, you know, there's a lot of stuff with like. Like, he definitely has white friends. Like, you were capable of looking at shit from both sides because a lot of times, rappers will be doing stuff that is objectively just so weird and so funny and there's never really anybody that points it out as being funny but then that's why I thought was funny about you is that you seem like you authentically like get the culture but you also are able to

Starting point is 00:04:37 look at it from the outside and kind of observe how funny some of these things that people start doing they are yeah no but I I love I don't know because some people when I was growing up I used to act like yeah like around my black friends I'd be like yeah man I'm from I used to I used to lie and be like, because I was born in Maryland. So I used to lie and be like, yeah, man, I'm from Baltimore. I had this like up north accent, like just trying to be like super cool. Like, yeah, I'm not from, we are from. I literally only spent like a fucking year there.

Starting point is 00:05:04 Like I came here when I was one. So, but now I just wanted to, I don't know, I just being around some of my black friends, I wanted to be in that like culture where I'm like, yeah, like I don't, but when I'm around my white friends, I'm more like, dude, I'm like from the same like fucking place that you guys are from. Like, we're super fucking cool, you know what I'm saying? fucking cool, you know what I'm saying? But it's just like, I don't know, I just, after a while,

Starting point is 00:05:25 I just understood like, all right, this is, this is where I'm from. I'm from a, like, a suburbia place where it's like a million different cultures. So that's really how a lot of that stuff has come about with me, though. Right. No, I totally get that because, I mean, especially, you're growing up in Atlanta and you have friends from different sides of the world and stuff. And then you kind of have, like, there's like this allure, this, like, tale that's being told through rap music where you think, like, oh, maybe I want to be on some tough shit. Maybe I want to walk around and like really have it. Nah, but don't get it twisted.

Starting point is 00:05:52 It is a tough side of where I'm from, though. Definitely. It's a street in certain areas on the north side where I'm from that is like that. Right. So don't get it missing true. Like, oh, it's like super like, no, hell no. That's kind of the question is like, do you want to really like carry that as part of your identity or do you want to try to like kind of go beyond it?

Starting point is 00:06:11 And it's like that that's kind of like a crucial decision when you're making it as like a young person when you're from an area where you could sort of choose to go one way or another, right? Yeah. And I mean, around that time, I just was, well, around, like, high school, that's when I was trying to find out my identity. Right. So that's when I'm like, who am I really? You know what I'm saying? So just after years, just, like, doing different stuff and, like, failing that shit and, like, doing bad shit and then not doing bad shit, trying to do some good shit.

Starting point is 00:06:37 And then just knowing who I am. I really didn't know I was even a fucking comedian. So I thought I wanted to go to school for a fucking, a damn sportscaster. Oh, really? I thought I did. I didn't know. I could see you doing that. I thought that could be cool.

Starting point is 00:06:50 I just wanted to be. I like the thought of being on TV. Right. That's what I thought I wanted to do. See, that's interesting. That's like your brain was like, oh, I want to be an entertainer, but you didn't really like fully perceive all the different types of entertaining you could be. So you landed on sportscaster.

Starting point is 00:07:05 But then in reality, like once you started to kind of take steps towards it, it didn't seem right? Yeah, I made steps towards it. Like I went to my first college, which was like a kind of like a community college. I wouldn't even say it's community college. It's like a college in the same county, Gwen County. I went to GGC, and the classes was kind of hard, not too hard. I cheated my way out of there. I got to a bigger university, you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:07:27 I got there. I'm like, all right, I'm going to do this ESPN thing. Like, I thought it was so cool. Like, yeah, I'm going to be on TV one day. I'm going to just do ESPN. So I tried to go there and do fucking sports casting. So I signed up for a class for that. And I tried to do it as like an extra, I don't even, what do you call that?

Starting point is 00:07:43 Extracurricular? No, I have not. Like the thing that you do on the side? No, dude. Fucking, fuck. You like switch back and forth? Yeah, no, I'm bullshit, no, I'm fucking with you. Nah, but it's really a thing.

Starting point is 00:07:53 I forgot what it's called. The people out there that's in college, I know what I'm talking about. But it was the extra thing I was doing, and I wanted to, it was like a setup like this where we had like mics and everything, and I would get on there, and I literally would accidentally cuss or like,

Starting point is 00:08:06 say some funny shit. They'd be like, dude, like, no, no, no, no, you can't do that, you can't do that. And I'm like, oh, this is like a sportsist. So I just kept constantly. And then they came up to me after, they're like, yo, you're so funny. Like, you really just need to do,

Starting point is 00:08:17 like I feel like you should do entertainment radio or they just asked me like you should do like comedy radio or something I was like nah really but I still didn't know like I still was making people laugh and shit I still didn't fully know like all right that's my calling to do like comedy you know what I'm saying

Starting point is 00:08:31 and so I just kept fucking off and I dropped out of all those classes there and I just said fuck that shit because it wasn't working you know what I'm saying I tried so when you were in high school and stuff though you weren't really looking at the comedians of the world

Starting point is 00:08:45 as people that you were looking up to I actually did. I actually did. And I would, I just didn't know what it was. It's like it was in me, but I didn't know what it was though. I literally would watch like Kevin Hart, Mikeabs, uh, Sedg's and the Sedrick the Entertainer. And I just didn't know why I looked at them like it was like a big deal. Like I used to look at them and be like, yo, I'm so inspired by them. Or I'll be like so inspired by like a big actor or like rapper or something. I just be like, I don't know why. It's like I want to be like them. But then I didn't know what the calling was, though. You could totally be like looking at Chris Rock or Kevin Harder, whoever,

Starting point is 00:09:16 and be a big fan, but then not make the connection in your head, like, oh, I could go and perform at a local comedy club, and that would be me taking step one towards getting where they're at. Literally had nothing in my mind thinking that. Like, literally nothing in my mind. But I always, I always, like, my mom when I was younger, she would always cut on the camera and let me, like, entertain, you know what I'm saying? Like, she would let me be myself. But I didn't know this whole time, this is all, like, going into, like, my story. You know what I'm saying? But I'm not even paying attention to it. I'm like five, six, and, like, she'll cut on the camera and I have a video on my Instagram as well and it's like I just started like

Starting point is 00:09:51 talking shit like I'm just talking some bullshit and she'll just let me go on for hours just recording me recording recording recording me and she didn't even know what she was doing she was just letting me be a kid you know right so when I look back at those videos it's like damn this is what I'm supposed to be doing like this really makes sense now you know what I'm saying see that is crazy because I feel like there's a lot of kids out there who end up spending years and years and years like trying to do one thing without really like listening to their brain and figuring out like what they're supposed to be doing with themselves. That's crazy.

Starting point is 00:10:19 So when you look back at some of that stuff, you're like, fuck. I actually enjoyed those fuck-ups, like getting in trouble in high school and going to college, dropping out, saying fuck that. I enjoyed those fuckups. It's like, damn. It just all leads you to where you're supposed to be going. It is teaching you a lot along the way. Hell yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:34 So you, during high school, like, what were your major identities that you sort of tried on? Because I know you had the scammer period of time that you might not want to volunteer too much? Where did you get this from? You did some digging. You did another interview you talked about it. No, hell no. Hell no, hell no. You did some digging, man.

Starting point is 00:10:52 Nah, I did. But that wasn't in high school. That was after I dropped out of college. But that's like regular shit in Atlanta these days. Everybody got tried out a little bit. You were a scammer. It was like working at the fucking story. That's like regular.

Starting point is 00:11:02 That's a job there. But nah, that was after college. But in high school, what are you saying? Like, what's my identity? Yeah, like what kind of kid were you? Because you seemed like you were sort of torn between different worlds. Yeah, no, I was actually a fuck off in high school. Like, I literally was a like,

Starting point is 00:11:16 Like I was a full on comedian in high school, but I didn't know. I was following what other kids said. I was literally failing at a high school. Right. But I'm following what other kids are like doing. Like I wanted to go to college. Like everybody's like, yo, we're going to college after senior year. So I'm like, oh, shit, that's what the fuck I need to be doing.

Starting point is 00:11:34 I got to see everybody else is kind of trying to do. I've seen some other kids dropping out and shit and going to like alternative schools. But I've seen most of the kids, like, the girls that I liked and shit, they'd be like, yeah, I'm going to this college or I'm going to this I'm like, fuck, that's what I need to be doing. Right. Had none of the grades to do that bullshit, though. None of them. Like, I literally would go in there, play all day, get kicked out of one class, sit outside

Starting point is 00:11:55 in the hallway, fuck off with somebody else, go to the next period, go to lunch, fuck off. You know what I'm saying? Just being funny, goofy. Right. Not the bad kid that's, like, getting into fights and trying to do shit. I was, like, a class clown in high school, too. And what I think about it now is it's, like, the difference between a girl that's just going around being a hoe versus a girl who, like, becomes a stripper or starts

Starting point is 00:12:14 to only fans and actually tries to start making. money off it. I was funny. You're doing this shit for free. You're just doing it for no reason. You're not getting anything out of it. But I was getting suspended for just what? Like, farting class and shit. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, definitely. But like, you know, I feel like if you have that realization of like, oh, this is who I am and I could actually work towards this as a career. That could be very useful early on. But I wouldn't even think about that. Like, I literally would do stupid shit. Like we, I just, just something that I'm thinking on top of my head right now. We would go to class late as shit and me and my boy I had a homeboy and we literally walked down the hall

Starting point is 00:12:52 we're late as shit to class and you know how the classrooms used to have that little rectangular little small little window I literally had a water bottle in my hand I started spraying the water bottle down the uh the lens of the of the of the window and he starts like taking his shirt off acting like it's the strip club and I'm beating up just this stupid stuff that just goofy shit like we weren't even doing shit that was fucked up but shit like that almost got us like paneled and they tried to like I told a teacher her her boobs with like cow uters and I literally didn't tell her but I'm saying it out loud in the class and they're dying but I it gassed it up that they were dying that they were dying. I guess she heard that just because it's in

Starting point is 00:13:33 they tried to get me for like sexual some oh yeah it was some extra shit like they tried to do a whole bunch with it but like I was just doing goofy shit though paneled is the thing that happens in high school now they put it in front of a whole panel yeah Yeah, they try to, it's like, yo, it's sick. They try to get, like, police involved and all types of bullshit. It's just, I hate it. I hated it, for real. But I wanted to be the kid that went off to college because I seen them doing.

Starting point is 00:13:56 I was just like, yo, they're fucking doing this what's supposed to be doing. Right. But I wouldn't get into grades to do it. So then, but somehow you made your way into college? Yeah, nah, my mom. I went home and I was just like, yo, fuck this shit. Because I finally, like, graduated. Like, I took hell of, like, online classes.

Starting point is 00:14:12 and I met a lady that, uh, that fucking let me take two years of Spanish in like a day. Oh, wow. She was just like, yeah, we live in the United States. There's no point to know one's fucking Spanish. And I was like, whoa. Whoa. So you found a scammer along the way. Yeah, along the way.

Starting point is 00:14:26 And then now she's like, she ended up being racist. She was on World Stars. A whole bunch of bullshit. Whoa, she got, this lady who helped you got exposed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was a Karen? The same lady. Yeah, she's like that.

Starting point is 00:14:36 Because she, uh, she went in front of a whole bunch of people on World Star. That same school that I graduated, not that same school, but the same school, but the same school, she had like a little homeschool shit. You could go there during the summer, take some extra credit courses or whatever. So I went there. She's like, yeah, so I believe we live in the United States. If you want two years of Spanish,

Starting point is 00:14:55 you can get two years of Spanish through me. And she gave me like a sheet that was fucking, it said Ola, Como Sta. And it was just three little things. You just bubble in the letter. What does this mean? Hi. What does this mean, whatever? How are you doing? And I did that. I turned it into her. She gave me two years of Spanish.

Starting point is 00:15:11 Anyway, right? fast forward three years later this lady is on world star and she has like a homeschool like graduation they're at a church and she's like um it was like a whole bunch of like black people that were at her graduated so white lady she's a chubby white lady and she's like look at all the people talking and leaving all the black people and we're like they were like what the fuck and somebody was recording so it went like super viral everybody got up and like left and was like yelling at her it was craziness but that's the same lady that helped me graduate high school. Wow. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:43 At least you got one good thing. He's like, yeah. He's like, yeah, fucking used her. It's like whatever. But I got out of high school through like doing that, took hell at extra curricular. So my mom was looking out. Yeah, no, my mom was looking out. So, uh, yeah, that's how I got into college. And then I took all those like, um, you know, those 11-01 classes. Okay. Where you got to find out where you're at. Hmm. You might not know about that. No, I was about long since I was in high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How old are you? Uh, 25.

Starting point is 00:16:08 25. Okay. Okay. Okay. So then you, you get into college. What college did you go to and what was the experience like showing up there? Same as high school. It was like a whole bunch of kids that. It was like the same type of people from the same area. I'm from at a college now. Oh, okay. Like everybody from Gwinnett or like DeKab and like some of those other areas in Atlanta,

Starting point is 00:16:28 they were coming to like GGC to go to school. It's like a new school and it's like you could get in super easy. It's just like a little more amped up version of high school pretty much. Yeah. It's like high school. It's like high school again. Yeah. Just shit like that.

Starting point is 00:16:40 And then I was like, oh, I got to get up out of here. I wanted to experience the real fucking college experience because I hear everybody like, oh, I go to a big university. We'd be partying way way way bigger than that. That's bullshit college you're at. So I cheated my way out of there. I was just copying a whole. Like I literally, it was so easy to cheat there.

Starting point is 00:16:57 It was crazy. But I cheated my way out of there and I got to like a bigger college and come to find out. I didn't fucking like that at all. Right. Well, that's funny because I cheated so much in high school and college when I think about it, like I never would have graduated if it wasn't for cheating.

Starting point is 00:17:10 but people don't talk about it that much. Yeah, nobody talks about it publicly, but everybody fucking does it. Right. But it's sick. You know. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. That's like the original hustle that, like, people really need to know about. What were your main ways of cheating?

Starting point is 00:17:22 Because now if I needed to cheat, I could just write it in the tattoos. I think about that sometimes. Wait, what the fuck? You could just write and the teacher's not going to be looking at the details of your tattoos. Oh, you had tattoos in high school? No, no. But I'm saying if I was in school now, I could just write it all in here and just be able to, I've heard people talk about it online.

Starting point is 00:17:36 I didn't come up with that idea of myself or anything. No, I just really. used to try to uh like they in college they'll try to give you like a yellow sheet a pink sheet yellow sheet pink sheet so the person next to you doesn't have the same exact test so i would yeah they're smart but they're not for that fucking long i would literally copy that test next to me and go and turn that test in the same pink pile that her pink pile was in oh wow so i'll just turn that shit in over on that side so pink go over here yellow goes over here right i go turn my yellow test in over here but I have all the pink answer.

Starting point is 00:18:09 So I just was doing shit like that, and I just got a battle of that school and tried to go to the next one. And the next one, that shit was hard as fuck. It was hard, but was it more of a party atmosphere? Yeah, more of a party atmosphere, but harder classes, like, that shit, I got into a, like, the classes I was in at that community bullshit college,

Starting point is 00:18:25 like 10, 15 people in the class. It's like high school again. Right. I get to a real college. It's like fucking 400 people sitting in a lecture. Nobody's listening, but somehow people are, like, writing notes and shit. It's too much.

Starting point is 00:18:37 At that point, I'm like, yo, fuck this shit. This ain't me right here. This ain't it. That's so funny because I had the exact same experience where my first year out of high school, I went to a community college, got straight A's, and then use that to get into UMass, the University of Massachusetts.

Starting point is 00:18:51 A million times harder. I'm having to actually study my ass off to get bees or sees, you know? I'm telling you. I don't think I passed any classes that first semester than that. I told my mom, I was like, yo, I'm out of there.

Starting point is 00:19:03 So you dropped out because you wanted to pursue the comedy shit? You just dropped out and drove over it. It was crazy because I literally, I was doing the radio shit that first semester. I wasn't really passing my classes like that, but I was doing the radio shit. So I'm like, yo, if anything, I'm going to try to stick in this shit to just do, like, try to get on this ESP and get on TV bullshit. And I just, when I was going there, they're like, dude, you're fucking hilarious. Like, yo, you need to be doing something.

Starting point is 00:19:25 Like, they would constantly tell me they just knew some boys out over that did the radio shit. And they were constantly telling me, I wasn't thinking too much of it. But then I started literally, I would go to my room every night and, like, look at videos of. like Steve Harvey and like motivational shit of like comedians. And I really started saying like, yo, this might be like my calling in life. Like that's when it really like dinged in my head like, yo, I think this is what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing.

Starting point is 00:19:50 This is definitely, because it didn't feel right. Being all the way out there in the middle of nowhere, it didn't feel right. Right. Fuck no. That shit was just like hell on. And it's one thing to be funny. It's another thing to decide that being funny is your thing.

Starting point is 00:20:02 That you're going to sort of try to base your value in the world going forward on. Yeah. because a lot of people don't get that. It's some people that think that they're calling as being funny, and it's really just like, no, dude, you're just kind of goofy. You make us laugh at you. No, I know dudes who they've based their entire life around being a comedian, and they've been trying for 10 years, 20 years,

Starting point is 00:20:20 and they still got the same number of followers that they had 10 years ago. And, I mean, I feel for him, because they really want that so bad. But it's so, the whole world is telling you it's not going to happen. If you have no fan base after 10 years, then it's kind of all we need to. You know somebody that's of 10 years trying to do it? Easily, yes. No fan base?

Starting point is 00:20:40 I swear to God, like, still has a thousand followers on Twitter after all these years, and he still, like, goes to open mic nights and stuff, and it's kind of weird because I get it. He wants it. That's a different type of comedian now. I'm literally working on my, I'm a rookie in stand-up right now. I'm working on my stand-up during this whole COVID pandemic, all this. I've been working on my stand-up. Really?

Starting point is 00:20:57 Because that's a whole other lane. That's like you're saying, like, he might have a thousand. I know some funny motherfuckers. I really sat in some stand-up in Atlanta. the kid had like 700, 800 followers on Instagram. Because after the show I followed, I'm like, yo, you're funny as shit. You got to be big. Like, I just don't know.

Starting point is 00:21:13 I didn't know about you. Six, 700 followers. Hilarious. Like, it was the closer that night. Yeah. And he's like 30-something. He's like one of the older cats. He was 30 in his late 30s had them crying.

Starting point is 00:21:23 But he tried to do skits on social media. Oh my God. They're fucking horrible. Isn't that bizarre how they're two totally different things. Yeah, two totally different things. And I've had people on here who are like really, really popping on Vine or whatever. God. They're not even funny, or they're weird in real life.

Starting point is 00:21:37 They start trying to do stand-up, and it's like, you know, years of hard work before they really manage to get anything going on. Like, literally, I've been working on my stand-up during this pandemic because that's a whole other ballgame. Like, it's seriously something else. So what's different in terms of your thought process when you sit down to write stand-up versus when you're doing skits? It's way different because when you're doing a skit, it could just be an idea and you can build on it. But in stand-up writing that shit, you really, a lot comes into it because you could have a written-out joke, but if you don't say it, the right way or say that certain word the right way oh it's not funny no more right i could say i would yeah man i was supposed to go to the store where i could say it i would i pulled ahead and that's a huge difference

Starting point is 00:22:15 than not saying i have to say it in the streetway but it's just certain words it's stand-up is way different man yeah some words just have that funny fact yeah and and somebody could say a joke and it don't be funny and i could say it and i could literally hit you with it like literally have everybody crying laughing it's just about how you do it so it's way different than social media but i'm working yeah i've been in this channel lately that just sort of like breaks down people stand up and we'll go into detail about like why it sucks or why it's good and they'll just hone in on little weird things the comedians are doing after a comedian running that page no it's probably just some hater yeah but he picks out so much shit just point out how like oh why does he keep making this face after every joke he tells

Starting point is 00:22:53 it i start thinking man man it's fucking weird why does he do that every single time and shit yeah man it's it's a different ballgame but um i feel like it's only certain people that have made that transition and have been successful with it. So to people like DC Young Fly and some of those that made it off of social media, it's like, yo, salute, bro, because it's not easy. He's funny as hell. Yeah, funny as hell. And it's like, yo, it's a lot of people that I thought were funny, not naming no names,

Starting point is 00:23:19 of course, but there's a lot of people that I thought were funny and then you meet them in real life and they're like super fucking weird. And you're like, yo, that dude's not even funny in real life. He just had some punchlines on like a video, you know? Right. DC Young Fly is the guy that, I feel like you're around him and it's just oozing out of him all the time. Like, he just can't help but just start saying some hilarious shit.

Starting point is 00:23:36 Yeah, his shit is funny. Yeah. I definitely salute him, man. Were you ever influenced by Boonk at all? Bunk, oh, Bunk gang? Yeah. Holy shit. Speaking of Bunking.

Starting point is 00:23:46 That was a moment. Didn't he pass out on your show? He did. He showed up, I don't know if he was drunk or on Zanz or whatever. And he, like, we were doing it live. So it wasn't like this where if he had walked in right now, I'd be like, you know, I'll just stand up and walk him out, whatever. I was live, so I couldn't really do anything.

Starting point is 00:24:02 He sat down to the stupidest interview ever And then on the way out He smashed his forehead on the wall Yeah It's sad though It's sad I never thought Bungang was a comedian I knew from the gentleman

Starting point is 00:24:10 I was like this is just like goofy silly videos See but if he had sort of leaned You're right Like he's never really seemed like a comedian But if he had leaned into like The idea of just him being a guy Who was stealing shit on Instagram Was really funny to people

Starting point is 00:24:22 But then he never was able to really Take it past that I wouldn't even say it was Well it was kind of funny It was goofy But I feel like it was so entertaining To see some crazy shit shit like that's real. We're like, holy shit. And he's recording it and doing it. You know, this is

Starting point is 00:24:36 fucking nuts. Like, yo, I followed him and I was like, yo, I don't know how this dude is not like in prison right now. Like, he's done hell as shit. Definitely. And I didn't know he had all those cases like added up and shit. It's crazy to think about though, like once you start to get to a certain level of popularity, a lot of the shit that works when you're like unknown doesn't work anymore. Like stealing shit or whatever. Like if you were to start doing that, you're already too big. And even boom, he got to the point where he had millions of followers and it just it read different people just like hated on it too much and he just couldn't really keep it going in the same way i don't know man it was sad to see him drop on your show like that

Starting point is 00:25:11 like we laughed but it was just so so sad it's like damn bro you'll see people crack even artists it's artists i hear that crash out like that he'd be like damn what the fuck happened to him he'd be like drugs and hollywood took his soul and some crazy shit yeah i haven't been around rappers who are on that level in a long time but definitely sometimes you'll meet a rapper and realize like, oh, this dude is so fucked up up of lean or whatever that he's like barely even here. Yeah, he's not here. And he's not even focused on shit no more.

Starting point is 00:25:37 He's like, whatever. I'm just high and this is how I'm living right now. That's crazy. It's sad, bro. You were never a lean guy or anything? You go through that phase? Hell no. None of the drugs.

Starting point is 00:25:46 Hell no. You never got on that? No. You seem like you're doing a lot drinking, right? Yeah, I'll drink. Well, and I don't do a lot of drinking, but I drink on occasion. Like, if we're going to like a party or some,

Starting point is 00:25:55 it has to be like an event. Right. And I feel like I'll drink them, but I'm not a big drinker or I don't do no drugs. So I'm lit off of drinking and lit off of life. Was college like a big introduction to like drinking culture? Because a lot of these frat jokes and stuff, it feels like that's a big part of it. Well, kind of, but not really.

Starting point is 00:26:12 I think, shit, everybody was drinking in high school. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, motherfuckers was drinking before. They were even 18. Right. So it's like, yeah. Nah, I wouldn't even say on no alcoholic shit. I'll just say like on some, like, everybody was drinking literally at every party in high school.

Starting point is 00:26:27 like 10th grade like 15 16 years old right and it's like yo now that we look back we're like yo we were young I know what's no crazy were you drinking that yo I drank a little bit when I was like 16 but then like I kind of just realized like oh I don't want to fuck with this and I didn't actually end up really drinking that much and so I was like 22 23 took shit there's so many motherfuckers that was drinking back then yeah it's like what the fuck what we're thinking yeah I avoided when I look back at it's so much shit that happened to a lot of people I knew around that time of like everyone I knew was getting DUIs and shit at like 1819 because of that it's crazy man yeah okay but so then do you remember like the first time you tried to actually start putting

Starting point is 00:27:10 skits on Instagram was it awkward at all at first or did it just go smooth uh the first time I was kind of forced to do it because my home boy just recorded me and I was just like talking shit at a gas station and he just started recording me it was like yo because at that point they had been telling me to do it I'm like yeah man I'm gonna get into it I'm gonna get into I'm funnier than guy I'm funny than that guy. I would just talk shit. Like, hey, yeah, you could say you're funny than those people, but until you do it, you're not fucking, like, who are you to say so? So he just, one of my homeways, my close homeboys, he just forced me and he just recorded me. It was like, yo, just posted it. And I posted it. And, like, everybody, like,

Starting point is 00:27:43 locally that knew me, they're like, thank God, like, yo, please keep doing this is so funny. But me doing that, like, that video was like some bullshit. Like, it was literally some bullshit. It wasn't even me tapping into, like, my creative side. Like, that was just me, like, just talking shit. Right. And I was just like, yo, if I could do this, this is. gonna be easy like yo yeah because it's like to kill this a lot of times you know you'll just be chilling with your friends and it'll be the funniest conversations or like you'll be basically end up joking around basically playing a character like just saying the most ridiculous shit but then to take that like energy that you get from just having a funny ass conversation with your friends and somehow

Starting point is 00:28:16 turn that into something that you can put on instagram that actually makes sense but i feel like when you're young and you don't like have a name for yourself already it's kind of easy to do that because you don't have that much, that many eyeballs on you. Nah, when you get up there and, dog, they try to cancel people out for the simplest shit. You can't say shit. Even Instagram will take it down. Yeah, Instagram will take shit down, yes. What have you ran into trouble with these days?

Starting point is 00:28:40 Oh, man. Damn, what video? It's a couple different videos. Like, even at first, like, I was saying white boys instead of frat boys. Okay. Like, I was like, white people always, or I'll say white dudes always. Right. And they would just take that video down.

Starting point is 00:28:55 quick I'm like, what the fuck? But we can say niggas and it don't get taken down. It'll just be a little weird shit. Wow, that's crazy. So when I was saying, I guess because I don't know if they felt as if I was like mocking them. I don't know. But I just, I just was saying it because this is real life. I mean, that's what the fuck comedy is, right?

Starting point is 00:29:11 Right. And I just was, I would say like white people would do this or something like I'd never, I didn't introduce the frat guy shit until my videos kept getting taken down for putting white guys or white people. See, that's funny because those same videos. were laughing at it though right they're like yo this is you're killing it like you're this is literally it like they was dying like yo this is but it's I guess it was somebody reporting the bullshit a lot of those videos that I was dying laughing at that were about frat boys but I'm also the kind of thinking like I don't really know frat boys like this

Starting point is 00:29:43 if it had just said white people be like I probably would have been like way more into it because that's more universal more relatable yeah but they're not letting me do that wow yeah hell now but that's taking that shit down quick that's crazy because I guess that they probably are just in a position where like if that same video would have been taken down like they don't want like redneck comedians making video about like oh this is what black people do yeah then so i think they really look into some of that stuff and try to make sure because i even had but you got understand i had a slave video of me acting like a slave took that shit down wow i was like you

Starting point is 00:30:13 what the fuck this is about my answers but it wasn't even a joke towards slaves it was just like i forgot what it was using that as the setting for your joke seems like we were all like on a whole like farm plantation. I used to cut grass with one of my white boyfriends and he used to always like, we'll be out there just like joking and shit. I was like, yo, this was like a real slave house that we're cutting right now. And we made a joke and he was like behind the camera. He didn't show his face or nothing, but he was acting like the slave owner or whatever. And I was like the slave, but it was my idea. I wanted to do it. You know what I'm saying? So I just told him what to say. He didn't want to do it or none of that. So yeah, I posted it. Nobody, it was good up for like a good

Starting point is 00:30:52 like fucking month or two then it got taken down and it showed me like why I was thinking that I was like what the fuck? It's crazy it feels like sometimes the social networks are just like cutting off comedy you know my co-host who does the podcast with me little house phone he tweeted something with the N-word with a hard R boom no more Twitter

Starting point is 00:31:09 he's gone forever oh yeah he's gone forever for just saying it like he's a black dude he said it as a joke in the context I forget exactly what he said but his Twitter he can't even make a new one he's like IP ban from his phone and everything oh It's real, though. It's real.

Starting point is 00:31:23 It's real. But we living in times where we can't really joke about certain stuff. But I feel like, damn, Chappelle was able to get away with so much shit on TV. Wow. A lot of stuff that you could never do now. Oh, yeah. Nah, fuck, no. Which is a shame, yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:37 It sucks. It's just like, he was pushing the bar like a motherfucker, though. Yeah. But the fact that anything that pushes the limits now is basically skewed or viewed out of context into being the exact thing. Like, I hate seeing all these old TV shows getting taken down because they have Blackface episodes when the episodes were making, the episodes are acknowledging that Blackface is bad, blackface shouldn't happen. If you're making a white character look like an idiot by doing that,

Starting point is 00:32:02 that's the whole point, right? It's enforcing the idea that this is a bad thing. I just feel like now that with all this stuff going on, of course this stuff is going to be like that. And it kind of takes away from some of the comedic stuff because it's a lot of good racist jokes, not on. But I'm just saying, it's not about. our people, not saying our people, but I just feel like it just takes away from a lot of the comedy now and it sucks because it's like, fuck, everybody's fucking sensitive. And now, like, you can't even say, dog, you can't say anything.

Starting point is 00:32:32 And it sucks. I want to see you be able to roast a Trump supporter and a black guy and everybody in between. Yeah, no, but we have free reins and you can really push the envelope, but it's about how you go about it. You just have to be, you just got to be smart with what you do, man. You can't cancel yourself out because now they're trying to cancel fucking everybody. So you just got to be smart.

Starting point is 00:32:51 And you got to know. You have to know what's going on in the world, I feel like. But it comes from both sides too, though, because it's like if you're not getting your shit taken down by Instagram or Facebook or whatever, then it could be just people coming for you and saying, we got to get rid of Jews. Have you had that experience? No, I haven't had that yet. No, okay.

Starting point is 00:33:06 Thank God. Hell no. Thank God. Nah, they ain't got me yet. Nah. But I've seen them go with some people like they'd be trying to. And it'd be fucking hating-ass like little kids and shit. It don't even be no real pages.

Starting point is 00:33:20 You'll go to their fucking page. It got like some cartoon on it or some bullshit. And it'd be like, yo, you're really just getting this rally going, this hate, going this one person trying to cancel them. I feel like that's probably what gets a lot of those videos taken down, though, is that, you know, if you have 10 people that are offended by you making fun of white people, then that's all it's going to take. Them, they reported it as hate speech, then the robot has to take a look at it.

Starting point is 00:33:44 They see the word white people, and they're like, all right, cool, we'll get rid of it. And that shit's over. Yeah. But, I mean, we live in a new general. now this social media shit this shit is new like we're only seeing the beginning of this this is like when the fucking tv came out this is all we do now see you're lucky though because if you had been making jokes on the internet 10 years ago there's a very very good chance that a lot of those jokes would not seem nearly as funny now or like you know you would be making jokes like 10 years

Starting point is 00:34:10 all these YouTubers they're getting canceled the shit just because they were around on the internet when the standards were very different you know it's different times and this is internet shit is way different than TV and it's like it's only growing. So we're only seeing like the whole six nine shit. All that shit is like what the fuck. We've never seen no shit like that. It's like a real rapper that's like you never thought about getting a rainbow wig and doing a six nine character. That would be cool. I'd never I've seen so many people do it. It was just so fucking played out. That's a fact. Yeah, it was a whack. That's real. It was funny though. Like I seen like a couple. It was like all right. Yeah. That was kind of funny. But it was like all right. Yeah. People drag that shit out. Certain things

Starting point is 00:34:48 happened and you can just tell that there's going to be 5 million versions of of it, ASAP. When we're all laughing at the video of a... I try to stay away from that shit. But the jokes of like it's a... I'm going to quote the Wyn Rand Duke Duce's version, even though I thought it was really funny but he's, you know, I got a waffle. I threw

Starting point is 00:35:04 it on the house. Waffle house. We all thought that shit was so funny. That's a trend right now. But I was telling my girl, right after we were laughing at a few of them, I'm like, you watch. That shit is going to seem so fucking lame in a week. so everybody better get this in now

Starting point is 00:35:19 because this shit is gonna seem so stupid in a week and I just seen a couple of them and like man this shit is so dumb already you literally just described what I was talking about so perfectly and that's one of those things where it's like oh fuck we're about to drag this shit out but yeah certain drugs

Starting point is 00:35:33 I try to stay away from that like when I see like a lot of people even deem me like yo please do this do this do a joke on this shit and I'll be like yo it's like a million fucking people that just did that and maybe I'll read it but I'll just be like nah that's not me i like to be so original it's like fuck that

Starting point is 00:35:49 hell no and you what's fucked up now is that on tic-tok they have the sounds and you can share the sounds or use somebody else's sound and that basically like encourages everybody to make the same exact fucking joke and it's not even considered biting you're just like doing your version yes i mean but i don't tic-tok is different i'm just now learning tic-tok i like to even do my own thing on tic-tok but the whole t-tick-tok thing is like brand-fucking new that's like the new vine now right so it's like i don't even fucking know what the kids are doing on that shit. Have you got it going good yet? You think? Yeah, no, I got it

Starting point is 00:36:20 going good. I got like a hundred thousand, almost like 200,000. I got like 150,000 on TikTok, but I'm literally doing my own thing. It's not all like the dancing shit. The kids are doing and all that. But it do be funny, like watching that kids love this shit, though. Like this is like the new, that's like a new toy. Like it's not even a, it's like you don't even have to buy it. It's literally a app. It's like a dancing app. Yeah, literally. But I mean, it's some funny, it's some funny people on there. But I don't feel like it's real comedy on there. Like, it's like goofy shit. You know what I'm saying? No, my girl was saying

Starting point is 00:36:48 me, she's like, you know, like, because I was telling her about the dance shit. I'm like, yeah, that's definitely like one thing. I ain't doing. I ain't dancing on TikTok. And she was like, so you want to make a dance video once you have your daughter? If she wants to make a dance video, I'm like, all right, yeah, all right. For my daughter, I'll do it. I'm just like, for now I get to hack it like myself and I don't want

Starting point is 00:37:05 to make a fucking dance video on TikTok. Yeah. It's different, bro. It's like, we're just learning all these new things. It's crazy. It's crazy to try to keep up with it, though. Because there's so much new shit that's just like, you know what I'm saying? You got to stay on it because people will be on something like you said and be like, yo, fuck that shit.

Starting point is 00:37:22 Like we'll love a guy on TikTok today. It'll be like, oh, yo, that's funny. He keeps doing this little goofy thing. They're like, yo, fuck that guy next week. But then you look through his page and there's so many people on TikTok, they'll have like a couple million views on one video. And then that causes them to make 500 other videos that are the same fucking joke. And it's so lame.

Starting point is 00:37:40 But they'll get hell of, they'll get millions of kids to follow them from that. Sometimes. But it's like, I feel like it's. It's quick fans. Like when you're not building like an empire of your work, like you're really not spending too much time and you're just like doing the same thing. I feel like those fans are so quick to be like,

Starting point is 00:37:56 yo, fuck that shit, we're tired of it. Definitely. So are you already thinking of what you're gonna be doing with like the overall brand name that you're building? Because like obviously you could take your talents and go on a million different directions now that you have the name. Like you could do TV, comedy, you could do whatever.

Starting point is 00:38:12 I wanna do all of it. I'm trying to do it fucking everything. I wanna do TV. I want to do stand-up. I want to do TV shows. I want to do movies. So it's like I want to get on Netflix. Yeah, it's endless shit, but I'm working. I'm trying though. I ain't even going to lie. I've been trying to get in the door with Netflix. I've been working on my stand-up. anywhere I know that I haven't mastered yet. It's like, I have to get that. Because I can't be the guy that's like,

Starting point is 00:38:36 oh, yeah, I'm the Instagram comedian or I'm the Twitter comedian. You know, that's so like, because I've seen people walk around and claim themselves like, yeah, I'm the, yeah, I'm an Instagram guy. Like, I can never see it. And then a year two later, it just don't hit the same way, right?

Starting point is 00:38:52 It just don't hit the same. Like, yeah, bro, oh, yeah, I'm the Instagram. Like, I hate that right there. Like, oh, aren't you like the Instagram guy? I literally want to be like, fuck no. Like, you can come to one of my, shows like I do stand-up I do but I haven't mastered that yet like I'm I'm that's why

Starting point is 00:39:04 after all this is over I have to get in that door where it's like now I have to branch out I can't be sitting and doing the same thing or be that one person that did that one thing you know because I've seen so many people do that and it's and it just inspires me like yo fuck that I can't be that a lot of people they don't figure it out till too late but that it's like your fan base can love you but your fan base also is going to want to see you grow yes and sometimes that could be you growing doing the same thing like I feel like doing podcasts I could probably do podcasts for another 20 years got to see some growth I'm addicted to growth so it's like yo if I don't see that I need it fuck that I can't sit there and be like oh yeah I'm cool with this this is it right here

Starting point is 00:39:41 right never I don't know yeah because it's just they people are going to want to see you like try to do the TV thing try to do the comedy thing etc you know that that's going to ultimately like endear you endear them more to you in the long run I think it's true definitely so when did you start having like like meeting celebrities and shit because I feel like a lot of times your videos now are sort of more honed in on like, well, some of the videos that we talk about the most are basically like making fun of the weird

Starting point is 00:40:06 shit that rappers do. Yeah, no, no, no. You know it's crazy about that. It's just because I've been around them a lot. So whatever I'm seeing, it's like I have to attack that. But I've been around, I mean, I've been around. Anytime I've seen anything, a lot of my comedy will come from like real like shit, you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:40:22 So I like to hit on like that real shit where it's like, you know you've seen that before or like it's just gonna hit different but not the reason why i've been coming at that because i've been out here in la for like the past two months during this pandemic it's like you know i'm meeting all these celebrities that are like fans of me or i'm becoming friends with them and it's like yo when i'm chilling around them i notice little things and i just like yo i have to do a video on that one of my favorite things is how you're you're in front of the instagram like how rap is been

Starting point is 00:40:49 instagram live and you got like the link up under your arm rolling the blood sucking on the blood and talking to the instagram live being like oh hey what up and then you start reading what they're saying and you get real fat. You can barely fucking read. Bro, that's such a consistent day with rapids. It's real shit. They always be juggling mad shit. Like, why are you holding it like a fucking baby?

Starting point is 00:41:10 Dudes hold their lean cup like a baby. I'm protecting this shit more than anything I have on me. Like, it's crazy, though. But I notice a little shit like that. Like, I'll be around them and be like, yo, you haven't put that fucking cup down yet. Like, yo, you're literally cradling like a baby, but it's just little shit like that. It's like, wow. But then you start to realize when you actually are.

Starting point is 00:41:28 or drinking lean, that it's like, oh, if there's like $150, $200 worth of shit in that cup, and anybody could just take a sip or anybody could knock it over, you start getting paranoid. Oh, they take that serious as fuck. Like even a little drop, they're licking at it, like outside of the bottle. It's like, yo, you don't have to, I guess this is so expensive. It's like, you're not wasting shit of that. Yeah. One time they were shooting a music video behind my old store and there was like a white kid who was rapping.

Starting point is 00:41:53 And the lean man came through with like six pints or some shit, puts them all over the car and shit. and then wild dude is rapping the white kid knocks over one of the pints and steps on it and crushes the whole pint spread out all over the ground some of the dudes there watching this happen want to lick it off the ground it was like they had just seen a newborn die in front of their eyes it's so upsetting bro i think that's like the worst addiction though i've seen some people like that i've been around like really crash out behind like lean like that's like a bad addiction like every you can really go to Atlanta right now you're going to see dudes that look pregnant.

Starting point is 00:42:28 Skinny as shit. Chess fucking flat as fuck. Yeah. Got a gut like a pregnant bitch. Yeah, you can spot a mile away because their body just grows in like the way that's so specific. Lean is kid. It's sad, bro.

Starting point is 00:42:40 It's so many. Wait, dude, you got hands in this bitch? Do we? Yeah, I was saying. Might need to mop this table. Right, right, right, right. What the fuck's going on? Nah, but that, nah, that

Starting point is 00:42:51 that shit is a real thing, though. I've seen people quit lean and everything on their body stays the same, but the gut just goes down so much. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. Happen so.

Starting point is 00:43:00 I don't know what it is about that, though. I don't know. Is the lean just fucking storming in your stomach? I don't know. It's just mad sugar and just, I don't know what it is. Oh, because it comes with the sodas that's like, hell of sugary. Well, that's actually the thing, too, is if you, like, the amount of soda that Aline had drinks alone would be insanely bad for them.

Starting point is 00:43:17 And then you throw in the lien on top of it. And that's just even weird. You know, it's this new shit called fucking Whippets. Oh, yeah. That's a new thing that is. Because people crashing out. To me, you're like, you're like. Your best character is when you're basically playing like a member of YSL.

Starting point is 00:43:31 Like you're somebody within the Young Thug universe. Maybe not specifically, but like in that general area. And yeah, the Wippets kind of took over the YSO planet. Oh, now Wippets took over fucking anywhere out here in Hollywood. I see fucking everybody doing it. So you see it all the time? All the time. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:43:48 Like you literally will be at a party. All you hear is like, yep. Like, what the fuck was that? Mm-hmm. It sounds like, I don't even know what the fuck that is because it's like a little bull. it. Yeah. You just see them and you'll hear it drop. People like, bing, it's nitrous oxide and it's just like, it's crazy because I used to go to like, you know, festivals in England and shit out there. Just literally random. Super normal. But now

Starting point is 00:44:09 all of a sudden it's like a rapper thing. Like, I never, never heard a rapper in my whole life talk about taking whippets and now of a sudden it's taken over. It's cool to fuck your brain over now. Oh yeah. First it was like fucking your lungs and like your kidneys and I was like, yeah, we need some other place on the bite to fuck up to make it cool. You never get a try, and never took a whip it? Hell no. I had a roommate that crashed out. that shit. For real? That's how I know about it.

Starting point is 00:44:29 I had a roommate at the first squads at GGC. Okay. Literally had to get the ambulance to come get him out of his room. Wow. Passed out in his room a whole bunch of like metal bullets around him. Right. It was just all whippets. He was in there the whole night.

Starting point is 00:44:42 Yeah. It's crazy because actually if you do it, it feels good, but it feels good for like a minute. Yeah, hell yeah. And then you want to do it again. So it's like if you don't have the thing in your brain that's like, oh, I'm not, you shouldn't do this a million times. Yeah. And you'll just do it a million times.

Starting point is 00:44:55 That's really, really bad. You've seen the video of, Gun on Live. You're doing it? Yeah. Like, what the fuck? Like, what the fuck? I don't even know, man.

Starting point is 00:45:06 That's shit, I don't know. Well, we haven't, I don't feel like people have done it long enough to know what the bad shit is. Well, in this particular world, yeah. But, well, that's actually kind of the thing about it, though, is that it's like people don't, you got to watch the old Stivo documentaries. If you want to see what it's doing with it? He was so bad off it. He almost died and shit. Yes.

Starting point is 00:45:25 He was doing more. I thought he was doing Coke, though. Come on, bro. I think he was doing everything else while he was doing whippets. Yeah, he was shit in his ass and all that. In his ass? Yeah, he was putting, like, pills in his ass, wouldn't he? I don't know, man.

Starting point is 00:45:35 Shit, did people get to that point? No, Steve was on some freak shit. I've seen girls putting ecstasy in their ass before. Yeah, that's normal. Yeah, that's... Yeah, that's... Yeah, that's fucking regular. But we're talking about Steve with him, man.

Starting point is 00:45:50 Shut out of Steve. Nah, but it's bad, though. I feel like anytime you got put anything in your ass, you're going too far, you know? One time I was out doing Molly, like 10 years ago I was out doing Molly in Texas. I know, right? But I was so fucked up just out at bars and stuff. I ended up talking some army dude who told me like I shoot up every single drug that I do.

Starting point is 00:46:09 He's like, if I'm going to do ecstasy, I fucking melt it down, put it in the syringe and shoot that shit up. And it hits you way harder. So you're like, yo, I got to try that. I never tried it. But it sounds crazy. I thought that's where that story was going. Like, yeah, so I shoot up everything I fucking do now. What?

Starting point is 00:46:23 No, that would be lit though. No. Every time I'm smoking a blunt. just boil it down, throw it in the siren. There you go. Do you hear it? Hey, what was the feeling like when you first saw Drake wearing that hoodie you sent him or whatever? Nuts.

Starting point is 00:46:36 Literally, I was just like, yo. But now I feel like now it's, I really didn't even trip about it because when I became friends with him, it was just literally like a genuine, like friendship. It wasn't even on no fan shit. Did he just hit you up on Instagram or something? Yeah. What was the first time? Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah, I think he hit me up on Instagram, but I noticed that he had liked my shit. a long time ago. Right. I had like no followers. Like I had probably less than 100,000. Right. And he liked my shit. It was a way back and I was like, what the fuck?

Starting point is 00:47:04 Like people like this are literally watching. Wasn't following me, nothing. He just liked it. And I seen him like a couple more stuff. And he damned me one day and he was just like, yo, like this is my favorite page. Like you're literally the funniest dude on here. And I was just like, yo, what the fuck?

Starting point is 00:47:18 That's crazy. Yeah, but it was, after that, we just had like multiple different conversations. He's a cool guy down the earth. And now it was just like, I want some friends shit. So when he wore that, I wouldn't even like really like, oh, fuck. It was just like, damn, that means he genuinely like fucks with me. Like, he, it wasn't even on no, like, you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:47:35 You should post this. I literally asked him like, yo, are you cool with me posting the video? Because he just sent him to show me like, yo, I got your package. Right. But I screen recorded and I was like, out of respect, would you trip if I posted this? And it was like, no, you're good, you're good. Right. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:48 That's crazy. A cool guy, though. Real, real, real, real cool dude. You met Thug and all them? Yeah, hell yeah. Was Thug like, you know, maybe you should join my, crew because you kind of are acting like us on the internet already. Nah, no, I'm, uh, Jerica.

Starting point is 00:48:01 I'm cool with Jericho. She likes my stuff. Yeah, she's tight, yeah. Yeah, shout out to Jerica. I'm cool with her. But, uh, no, it's just really, me and him had a conversation just through my boy Ben, though. Uh, but not nothing like, we were just literally at the crib chilling, but I wouldn't say like, oh, yeah, I know thug.

Starting point is 00:48:17 Right. I mean, I've been around them. But you still haven't, like, done, uh, impression of a rapper that took it far enough that they got upset about it? It hasn't got that far? I used to impersonate C-EOP and Little Baby. I saw. And I used to think that they would get mad at that.

Starting point is 00:48:36 And for some reason, I thought Little Baby didn't like it. I don't know if he did or didn't. But now he comes around and he's like, you're funny as fuck and shit like that. So maybe he wasn't mad for real. But I thought he was because a lot of people would be like, yo, that's really how it is. Like you're making a joke of some real shit.

Starting point is 00:48:50 Right. Like you're making a joke of some real shit. I was like, nah, fuck out of here. They know him. It's jokes. but really like no I don't think he knows that's jokes like he might not genuinely like that you do that yeah some people they just like aren't going to be able to take jokes about themselves which is unfortunate because that's like once you if you get as famous as little baby then you're just

Starting point is 00:49:08 gonna have to be able to accept that shit but I mean at the same time it's like you got all these millions of dollars and shit you travel in the world like yeah oh no it shouldn't be too hard to get over but now I haven't really pissed nobody off or nothing because you've got to understand my shit it's funny bro because if you can't laugh at you like come on man it's jokes like it's not I've never had that beefing thing like going on where it's like yo we gonna fuck him up when we see him not not like that still waiting on that what do you uh what do people say when they come up to you in real life though like what's like the most common thing that you hear if you're in the mall or something shit I'm I'm actually glad I don't

Starting point is 00:49:43 have that one thing because that will fucking kill me like yo his Instagram dude asked him to do that one thing I don't have that yet thank God I don't because I hate that but I don't know they'll just be like they'll be like yo Drewski or they'll They'll just yell my name. And they were like, yo, that's the most common thing I get you. Like, yo, you're literally like, you're going to be one of the biggest comedians. Like, I see you going to different places that a lot of these. Like, they'll say shit like that.

Starting point is 00:50:05 But I've never gotten to, yo, do that one thing. They might bring up like a random video like the frat guy's shit. Right. But it's never like that's that one thing that he does. You know what I'm saying? You ever get people trying to like film skits with you like in public? Like, oh, yeah, can you do this? Yeah, dude that fucking, we threw a party.

Starting point is 00:50:22 me Justin Combs, Odell, in autumn this past weekend and a dude, obviously the fucking security didn't do their job. We had security. Security didn't do their job. A dude carried me in the party and he was just like, he said, yo, like I'm an upcoming rapper, bro. And I feel like if you could just do a skit for me real quick,

Starting point is 00:50:42 I'll just record right now. Start pulling out this one. I say, what the fuck? He's like, yeah, I thought you whatever. It don't matter. I got money. You're saying I don't got money? Like, what the fuck, dude?

Starting point is 00:50:49 I never say you to have money. It's just like, yo, I'm not about to do it. skit for you for promotion and you're just going to put on the flashlight and just start recording me like what the fuck yeah so instantly do the uh fucking security suck dick at that party they literally let anybody through we told them only let somebody in that knows somebody that guy knew fucking nobody there's no way but everybody's geniuses at figuring out what they could say to the security you ever been like stuck there at the line like trying to get in and just listening to the stories that people are telling the security oh my god yeah girls are saying

Starting point is 00:51:19 anything. Oh, God. Girls are literally saying any and everything to get in that bitch. Just screaming out the names of the people that they know, but it's like a party promoter. It's not even like anyone important. It's just like the security is just so not giving the fuck. One dude that's lying and saying he fucking knows everybody in that

Starting point is 00:51:35 bitch but doesn't know nobody. Right. He's naming off real names. That was me a long time ago, realistically. Really? Well, not naming off random names, but I was just saying, you know, whatever I could to try to get in there. To get in the game. I'm trying to hand the security guard, 20 books and just look at you. What's your thing? What's your thing? Why were you trying to get in there?

Starting point is 00:51:51 Try to go in these, like, expensive-ass clubs. Like, network? Yeah. No, I bet you were trying to network. Get drunk and meet girls. Because I hate dudes that try to network. They try to, like, get your numbers and shit. Oh, my fuck.

Starting point is 00:51:59 I didn't even really. I wouldn't even have thought about it. Dog, like, you're going to sit here and fucking bagging me in the club? Like, literally a dude comes up to me. This was like a month ago. Like, literally he's bagging me. Like, yo, he's like, yo, bro. I seen you were talking to some girls and shit.

Starting point is 00:52:13 I got holes. I got like, like, dude, I don't need you to help me get girls. Yeah. He's like, yo, take my number down, bro. I got a whole bunch of holes, bro. Dude, be sure to pull out. You're going to bag me in this club telling me you got girls. Like, you're literally going to bag me.

Starting point is 00:52:28 You're bagging me. That's what you're doing. You're bagging. His way of trying to appeal to you is telling you that he can get you some pussy. You could get me some pussy. What the fuck? If he's like, I could get you some money. They're like, all right, maybe you can get my phone number.

Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah, but even that, I'm like, I'm good on that. You're good on the money offers as well. Anything that you have to, as a dude, you have to get my number in that club and I don't fucking know you, that's just weird. You're bagging them. Just bagging me? No, but that's a real thing. Like, a lot of celebrities, they get bagged.

Starting point is 00:52:54 They get back. They get back because it's like, in certain situations, some dudes are like, oh, you're too good, and then shoot out. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Dudes need etiquette lessons, you know? It's weird, man. That's a fuck.

Starting point is 00:53:06 How long have you felt famous for, though? A year maybe? I wouldn't even say I'm famous yet, man. I'm working. You don't feel it? Nah. I'd probably say like a year. Look, that's humbly flexing.

Starting point is 00:53:19 Yeah, yeah. No, it depends on where you go. This past year, no, this past year, like, becoming friends, like, not just having, like, celebrities that just hit me up, like, now becoming friends with some people that I used to look up to is actually being like, wow. And not just, like, being around, like, on some clouds. You're like, oh, yeah, I'm with them or nothing. Just literally genuinely, like, might go, like, kick it or might go paintball.

Starting point is 00:53:41 And just, like, just having different celebrity friends, it's like, damn. Now it's like, all right. I'm in the club. Yeah, you, you've, to be accepted, it's like a different type of. drug, it's like, damn, that's what I wanted. So now I'm starting to get it. It's like, whoa, this is, like, it's actually happening now.

Starting point is 00:53:56 Just to be in the category. It kind of says that you made it somewhere. Yeah, sometimes you just want to be accepted and it's just like, all right, not, not like on no cloud chaser shit or nothing, because I'm not even like that. Like, literally just being around some of the people would just be like, wow, just to even have a conversation with some people.

Starting point is 00:54:11 Damn. You ever try to rap? Yeah, a little bit, yeah. How to go? Pretty good. A lot of people. I've been posting my little snippets on my Oh, okay. I miss that. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you fucking miss out. Yeah, I miss that. Wops. Bullshit. You just don't like my music, man. It's good. I didn't hear you. How's it going? I want to know what the music side of there. Hey, man, fuck that. Everybody who makes it on Instagram has to start rapping. So I was actually thinking I missed that's crazy. You've seen every fucking other video, asshole. Am I really missing? Yeah, I missed the music. Right, right. I missed all the music. I missed all the music. No, no, no. I don't post it that often. I post it little snippets, though. I haven't dropped

Starting point is 00:54:48 anything officially though. Okay. I just like to see what people would think. Because I feel like with Boone Gang, that sort of changed everything. It was like once he sort of went from being just like a thief on Instagram, so like really trying to tell you he was a rapper, people start holding you to a different standard all of a sudden, you know? I feel like Boong game could have popped in the rap game,

Starting point is 00:55:06 but I don't feel like he was being consistent with it. Yeah, I don't know what happened there. On some crazy shit, like on some walker flaka shit, he could have did some shit. He had a good song with Blockboy, I remember at one point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think he really could have.

Starting point is 00:55:18 some crazy, like, raging, like, at festivals, I feel like Bunking could have really took it to a different direction. See, as soon as you mentioned festivals, it starts to remind me that your career has probably been, well, you said you're working on the comedy shit, but it definitely kind of slowed shit up at a time when shit was probably moving really, really fast. Yeah, nah, but this time has really helped me grow, though.

Starting point is 00:55:37 Yeah. Like, during this whole pandemic, all this has been, I've been shooting up because, I mean, people are doing nothing but on their phones right now. So I took advantage of that shit. You don't ever plan on just being like, no, I'm not making Instagram videos anymore for a while. Because a lot of times people want to quit and want to like just pull the plug on it for a while.

Starting point is 00:55:53 Even if I do get on to like TV or when I do, I mean, I say if I do, but when I do get on like TV, Netflix movies and shit, I feel like I'm still going to do like skits just to entertain my core fans. You know what I'm saying? I can't stop doing that. But it's all about growth though, like you said. So you don't see DC Young Fly doing the fucking roasting shit on Instagram no more. But, you know.

Starting point is 00:56:15 You never know. Like people, sometimes it feels. It feels like you graduate past certain things. You've got to sort of like leave it to the younger generation, you know? Not even leaving for the younger generation. Sometimes it's just about people want to see shit different. Like they don't want to see that same shit no more. Like, all right, I'm tired of that.

Starting point is 00:56:30 I'm good on it. But you got to know, though. It's only a certain amount of people that know. Some people will juice shit out. Some people won't do enough of that one thing. And he'd be like, yo, you could have really turned it up right there. But you stopped doing that. But you just got to know.

Starting point is 00:56:42 It's all God, man. Anywhere that's taking us, it's all God. So. That's crazy. So, all right. I mean, what else are you, you're just working on the comedy shit, but you don't know exactly like when it's going to come out. Is there anything else particular you can tell us about stuff that's coming?

Starting point is 00:56:57 Oh, shit. I'm working on a Netflix movie. I don't even know if I could speak on this. Like, oh, shit. I just said that. Nah, but I'm working on a Netflix movie and a TV series. And really, but I mean, right now during all this COVID shit, it's like all being fucked up.

Starting point is 00:57:16 Nobody could go into like the office and shit so it's all been like through Zoom calls, you know? Right. So, but it's in the works and we're definitely doing that. And so. Well, hey, fuck Corona. We're out here in person. Yeah, we're out here in person. We have a glass barrier between us.

Starting point is 00:57:28 Nobody can see. Nah, that's bullshit. We don't. We literally walk to hit with no mask. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, I have such a hard time not shaking people's hands when I see people that I actually like. And then some people literally think you're being an asshole like when you do this shit. Right.

Starting point is 00:57:43 It's like, oh, you better than me, huh? There was like a week there where it felt like it felt like it. if you were to refuse a handshake to an Asian person that it would have been really awkward. What? Because, like, at first, the coronavirus thing was, like, a very, like, specifically a Chinese thing, you know, in a lot of people's minds?

Starting point is 00:57:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I was at the casino, and I felt like a fucking dick because, like, there's a shit lot of Asian people who play poker and shit, and they were trying to, like, dat me up at the poker table, and I was like, like, they were trying to shake hands. Asians know you? Some Asians.

Starting point is 00:58:11 You fucking made it if Asians know you. I think I've had a couple Asian fans. I need more, though. But you probably have a lot of black fans and a lot of white fans. Yeah, I got both of that right now. But no Asians. But I need, I need Asians. I'm trying to picture you doing some Asian impersonations.

Starting point is 00:58:25 I don't think it's going to go that well. Dog. No, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, that's what I'm saying. Certain shit, you just can't. You know what I'm saying? No, I don't think you should do a trans character. Dog. It's too hot.

Starting point is 00:58:36 You can't do it. No, you could do a gay character, though? A gay character? Yeah, yeah. Oh, but I get what you're saying about the other way. Yeah, they just don't want any jokes, you know? Yeah, I don't think they're in the mood. The gay character, though.

Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah. That'll be funny. Would you do that, though? Yeah, it's comedy, bro. It's not, no. I've seen fucking Longest Yard. Who did that, the gay cheerleader? I forget.

Starting point is 00:58:56 Fuck, who's the black dude? Fuck, fuck, fuck. Damn, y'all know what I'm talking about. He did the cheerleader. Who? Damn, what's his name? You know him. He did the cheerleader that was the gay in prison.

Starting point is 00:59:12 You never seen Longest Yard? No, I'm straight. What the fuck? It's not a gay movie. Yeah, it's a football prison movie. Nah, but like Nelly and all of them was in it. But it's this comedian. I'm so mad I can't think of his name.

Starting point is 00:59:26 Damn. But he played a cheerleader on there and it was like a group of them. He's saying that. Tracy Morgan, yeah. Funny as shit. Right. Like literally I would do that role. Like that, it was the funniest shit ever.

Starting point is 00:59:39 I swear to God. I know a lot of people, though, they are too homophobic that they won't really like make jokes like that. bro, it's comedy. Like that shit, that character he did in that movie, I need you to go watch it. It's funny as fuck. He was a cheerleader and the dudes from the team
