Because it's a lot of motherfuck's telling jokes. Right. And they ain't got studios. Right. So it's a lot of motherfuckers got God and they got studios. So therefore, I'm just saying, y'all walking through here. I was like, damn. Yeah, y'all security system is like, God damn.

Motherfucking let you know you walking in. Nick, that's up at 85. That motherfucker, you got COVID and shit. Look yeah. You have a fever. You have a fee. You have a fee. This, niggas sick.

It's like, it's a different level. Like, it's comedy, but it's like a different... You see why these niggas are the MJs and the... And you dig what I'm saying And Kareem Abdul, you see why You feel, me, and you're one of those ones Like, I used to sit and watch Comment View as a child

And you'll come out with the pen and pan And I'd be like But every time I knew, I was like This motherfucker come with it I don't give a fuck Who on it? This thing is going to have Something I was delivered and everything Was so poised

I was like, you know what? Stage control Stage present I learned a lot from that shit. You show some shit, too, that you was writing these jokes when a lot of times, you know, part of stand-up is you make it look effortless. Right. But you would show, like, you'd have took time

and crafted these shit with the strike doing shit. Like, it was funny in, in of itself, but it was also showing motherfuckers that was coming up, like when we got ready, when I started doing comedy, like, oh, this Nick, oh, he put some thought into this shit, like, oh, okay, so this is, and like, I understood what a workout room was before I ever worked out doing comedy, seeing that shit.

Yeah, yeah. I appreciate it. It's, it's, you know, it's, I've always felt like it ain't how you laugh, it's you, them laughing. Right, right, right. I think nicks get caught up in how they laugh. Right, right, right. That ain't the point, it's how you laugh, you know.

A motherfuckerabomin is funny, you know what I mean? Exactly. Yeah, you laugh at that. Yeah. And I thought, like, who would make that funny? I would. And so I purposely do a joke that don't work on every set. And it becomes just as funny as anyone that I wrote

because it doesn't work. Right, yeah. You know what I mean? It's funny to see me fail. Right, you know. You've mastered that. Yeah, but you got to be confident enough to fail. Right.

Yeah. I know it sound trippy, but it's like, it's a hard of making that, it's an art to making, not funny, funny. Right. You mastered anything that can be, because anything can be funny. Anything can be funny.

Right. That's how I look at. This shit. Fucking up can be funny. Yeah. I feel like you, Dave, when it comes to the pen, you feel, me?

Like, because I worked on my material and my material has been improv and jokes I've written and I worked away where I'm like, okay, that's good, that's great. Got to this point, but I see the level of penning that I'm like, okay, these motherfuckers are writing. Yeah, yeah.

I want to go in the writer's room and see how they, I want to see the thought process, like I love that shit. I want to see the thought process of how they come up with that. Because still as a nine years in the game, I'm still trying to figure out premise, punch not, set up. Okay, you may know it, but like you said, anything can be funny. And that's why I admire comedians like y'all

because y'all would sit there and be like, nigger, it's never a dull moment when you're one of those true comedians. Yeah. I got a new 30 minutes anytime I walk. Yeah. Let me ask you this though, man, because I've seen you at all kind of comedy rooms

across the country, like, no matter what level of success that you got to, you never stop going to the workout rooms and showing love to the Uncle Rails and the red kievers and you know what I mean and the shit like that. So like, you stayed in the circuit around the comedians. That's where the real shit is.

Like, it ain't doing them stages. If you know, you, I mean, y'all niggas do arenas and shit. Like, you know sitting on that stage, that's one thing, but I'm gonna say this about y'all motherfuckers. Y'all fuck is treat an arena like a club. Facts. Y'all do. Y'all motherfuckers be in there talking directly

to this motherfucker sitting right here is shit, almost like you can touch the people. Me personally, when I'm at arena, I'm kind of locked in. on my shit, whatever. I'm at the comedy club. I could touch my fuckers and seeing him. Bring it to your world.

Yeah, bring them to my world. Right. You know, but it's just, it's just that practice. You know what I mean? As far as just constantly getting out there making it happen and touching the people. You got to touch the people. Me personally, and I tell y'all this,

this is a lot of comedians, if you're listening right now, writing material, man, isn't just always sitting up on this is living and shit you know what I mean and you got to put yourself you got to put yourself in situations you would be in on a regular basis if you do that then you're gonna come up with material all the fucking time if you're doing the same shit every day you're gonna be talking about the same shit and you're gonna be doing the same fucking material because you're fucking around eating the same food going the same fucking bar hang with these same

motherfuckers. One day, one day, niggas just go up and go to, nigga, go to a dog show one day. Right, straight up. Just go, just go sit in that motherfucker and just sit there, you're gonna be like, what the fuck is going on in here? And then you're gonna go to the club, like,

nigga, I just went to this dog show, these niggins are spending 15,000 on the dog. Right, right. Nick, I'm buying a car with 15,000. You know, when you're going. It's informative too. You off to the right. You ain't even really writing.

Right, it's there. You just, you went, and that is right itself. Yeah, but niggins be going to the same shit all the time. And so they talk about the same shit. Nigger, I would go to a motherfucking medieval castle, nigger, and just sitting in that motherfucking, nigga, dead ass. Talk about mid-evil, me.

Yo, I sit there and I come out, I got a new five, and then a new 10, and yeah, that's how you do that shit. Right, right, right. Get your hands up early, go to that far before. Bring me another man. It's the meat ready. It is, yeah. But what kind of like...

Away, away. I've had a soft need. So the turkey legs for all the children. Feed the peasants. All of them. So what started you? Like, who inspired you? What did this journey start?

You don't care anybody say, comedian, but sometimes it didn't pick us. Yeah, right. It's Chicago, man, sitting up my boy. This nigga named Gwiel. This nigga just always thought I thought differently. And he was like, man, I bet you won't go on stage. Maybe like $50, right?

I was like, all right, I'd go up. They wouldn't let me up for like three weeks. And then finally, they let me on stage. And, like, you know, I knew then, like, my purpose. You know, a lot of motherfuckers don't know their purpose. You down here living. You don't know your purpose at all. And motherfuckers is miserable.

You got to know your fucking purpose. And I don't get fuck what it is. This niggas that's parking attendants sitting there trying to go, what the fuck, you know? But you probably was in a relationship with the motherfucker, and you was locked in a relationship and you made your purpose. Right, right. A lot of niggas is like that. A lot of niggins right now sitting at home.

We're probably watching this. Sitting with their boo and not living their purpose because they're in a relationship. And they purpose are you chasing somebody. So, baby, you say get single and live your purpose. Yeah. And fuck these hoes, man. Not necessarily. Don't get to live.

I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet.

On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, Those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder.

Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.

So listen to There Are No Girls on the Internet on the IHurt Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How serious is youth vaping? Irreversible Lung Damage, Serious. One in ten kids vape serious, which warrants a serious conversation from a serious parental figure, like yourself. Not the seriously know-it-all sports dad or the seriously smart podcaster.

It requires a serious conversation that is best had by you. No, seriously. The best person to talk to your child about vaping is you. To start the conversation, visit Talk Aboutvaping.org. Brought to you by the American Lung Association and the Ad Council. But that's why it's fun for us to hear y'all journey. It'd be like, all right, what spark that, that pen and shit. Because you got understand, we hear it, we hear it as niggas in the game.

And I'd just be sitting back like, bro, they do it with such an ease, man. And it'd be like, everybody can attest it. We all think of all funny shit. But it'd be just how we're going to pin it. Right. How are we going to write it? Like you say, experiences, they write itself. But it'd be like, you can tell when a motherfucker put that pen on that pad.

Yeah, it's definitely a system, and you gotta figure it out. And that shit didn't hit me into, to be real with you, that shit didn't hit me until about eight years into the game, maybe seven. I don't know how to write some shit or whatever, but as far as that shit coming fluently like that, I can sit back and, you know, do like I do now when I write shows and write for award shows

and all that shit, that shit is just like I'm conditioned right now. You know, and then when you're working for a late night TV show, you gotta do that shit every fucking night. You got to do that shit. You got the motherfucking, not only do you got to write it, you got to produce it, you got a motherfucking cast it, you gotta get props, you gotta get all that shit. And you performed a lot of those things, yeah.

And I performed a lot of it too. So a lot of people, yeah. A lot of people don't know that comedians are, we go through a lot of trouble. So how do you stay in their mind, stay knowing that you're a regular person and you go through your own shit and you're dealing with real life shit,

but you gotta go up here, write a fucking joke. Well, that's the part that motherfuckers don't. don't see your shits, you know. They don't see what niggas go through, you know? Right. I noticed many times, nigga, all y'all, y'all have been out fucking miserable. Bitch tripping or your boys and stole some shit over that when somebody come in front of you. Hey, man, let's take a picture.

You got to put that smile on and you got to do that shit. And that shit just be like, you ain't never in your mind frame, you know what I mean? Right. So what you have to do is you have to know that the middle. is the job. Once you realize that, then everything else is kind of fall in place. You won't be as disappointed because expectation brings heartache.

You can't have that shit. You can't have, you can't be expecting shit. You have to go into this motherfucker and be like, yo, I'm going in here and I'm bombing the night. And whatever good, come out this motherfucker, I'm going to put this shit to the side. I know you should look at it the other way, like I'm going to go ahead and do good or whatever.

But that expectation is going to bring you heart Me personally, it just don't work for me. I go in that go. I got 10 jokes, two gonna work. Let's go. And I go in that motherfucker and I bomb my ass off. But them two, the motherfuckers right there gonna be fired.

I'm gonna grab them two, put them in the bag, and I'm gonna write 10 more. And then two of them gonna work. And I'm gonna keep doing that shit. And then you go ahead. Until I got the motherfucker now. Is that the working process until now you've got to go shoot your special?

because I know you ain't in the mind state that. I'm funny going to go bomb. You got an hour worth of bombs. But you're not afraid of that failure. But you ain't afraid. That's the point that I'm making that you can be afraid of that failure. You got to go into mind frame.

Yeah, because motherfuckers are go, you'll go to an open mic, see niggas ripping and shit. You won't even have a boss to go. You'll go up there doing your old shit or whatever just because the energy in the room was fucking popping like that. You'd be like, let me do my old shit so I can stay afloat.

And that's like, you do not on a bomb. He worried about bombing in front of motherfuckers because they're gonna be on it. Yeah. You ain't even trying your new shit. Because you're scared. This is the time you try all the new shit.

That's when you try all your new shit. Every time I do a comedy club and I'm there doing five, six, seven shows, the first show I do, that's gonna be the worst show. Because that's gonna be show I'm trying all my new shit out that I can find out what I'm used for the rest of the week. But that first show, every first show, Thursday, first show Friday, whatever that is, that motherfucker is goddamn terrible. So now when you can see this, they're like, don't get the first show.

And the hit the last thing, they got this show. But, bud, but you, you five, five, this is what you're meant to. But it's funny to watch me bomb. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah, Dion, sold out all weekend except Thursday. Not a first show on a friday. But the first show is really fried. The first show is right.

You're on Friday. What's the important to, you know, doing shows throughout the week? Because I see you just did your special and everything, and I was phenomenal. And then I see you come, do a weekend, on the road, and then come back through the week and then still do three, four, five shows in the middle of the week. How important is that for comedians? So, I'm in the position now where, you know, I do. When I did the special, when I dropped the special, I went right into filming.

And so I haven't been able to live because I've been pretending to be somebody else. Oh, sure. And when you're doing that shit, I can't live, so I really ain't been nowhere. So I wrote material before I went to go film and I had a whole bunch of shit written. But when I started filming, I wasn't living,

so therefore I didn't have no jokes. So I had one show that I was supposed to do in Atlantic City at that time, so I went to go work. out the shit that I did have and try to see if that shit worked. And thank God, like, at least fucking 40% of that shit worked. And so therefore, I had enough material to do the show and shit. But I was like, like right now, nigga, I'm jokeless like a motherfucker because I ain't, I even lived.

I've been filming and shit. So once I'm done filming, then I can live. And I go out and I do this. That's your whole process. So when you did your special, you like, room jokes over with. I ain't telling them ever again. They're done.

Done. Never. Touching the stage, not saying none of that shit. So what I will do is I will do some jokes. That's from like a way oldest special. Right. Like something that's like I did on my first special or some shit like that.

I'll regurgitate those and use those as a bridge until my other shit work. But as far as anything from my last special, and the special before that and the shit that I dropped on YouTube, you would never hear any of that shit ever. That's the job.

Like, we ain't, we ain't rocket scientists and shit. You know, we ain't construction workers, you know, you think, nigga, that's it. Like, you think about what's funny and you, right? But they swear this shit just be like, y'all be like this all the time, and I, bitch, didn't I tell you? I just went through some shit

and your throat is staking. No, you know how many motherfuckers I'll let down on the daily basis. Diggins come around, be like, hey, and I just be like, the fucking throwing you. I just, you know what I mean? Like, every comic ain't no motherfucking pie in the face, man. Right. I'm just not, nigga.

Like I let down a lot of people. They come around thinking I'm just soft shoeing and tap dancing and shit and I'm more like a cerebral motherfucker. I go in the room and shut the fuck up, listen to everybody. And then leave out that motherfucker and write some shit. But I listen to everybody in the fucking room. And I learned how to play the room that way too, you know. Going to room and shut the fuck up,

if you're talking about dogs and you're talking about how much you hate cats and how you love cars and shit and how you love fish and shit, when it's time for me to talk, I can agree with all that shit, y'all said. And I probably disagree with it. Right, but you know. But to play the room.

I don't know what to say. In order to lead that motherfucker, you know. And how motherfuckers going, that motherfucker's great. And I walk out the door like, God damn. You know what I mean? But it's not how to play the room, though. And all that shit helps, like, in writer's rules, too. Writers' room is great, too.

See, the thing, I'll give you another tip. You got to get a motherfucker's show. Anybody get a show. do not fill your fucking writer's room with a bunch of motherfuckers that think like you and shit this is gonna be bullshit every writer's room I have

nigga I got a motherfucker in there I can't stand I hate that man I can't stand that motherfucker Because me and this motherfucker gonna constantly fucking go out Which is gonna be the shit Which is what shows are made of

Every show you know It got conflicted You know what I mean? Like Martin It was Pam and Martin And, you know, it's conflict. So why would you have your room on some of everybody getting together shit? Your writer's room, your writer's room got to be just as fucking conflicted as the fucking show is. So anytime you get a motherfucker, you see a motherfucker and you be like, I hate this nigger.

Hire him. Higher that mom. Yeah. Real shit. Yeah. That's real. That's real. That's real.

That's the nigger to get. That's the nigger to get. Because then you and that nigger are going to sit back. can argue constantly. And you're gonna come up with shit. You know what I mean? You're gonna be having different approaches. That's the shit.

Yeah, different opinions. You think like this. Man, I had this one nigga that used to work on this show of mine, the show I had, called Black Box and shit I had on TBS and shit. Yeah, black box shit. I had this black dude on the show. He hated black women.

He ain't fucked with no black culture. He ain't fucked with none. He's a nigga, he's black. He just was like, yeah. Like black people embarrass him and shit. And this motherfucker was like, yeah, I don't like the women and none of that shit. And this nigger used to say that shit all the time.

And niggas is like, keep that nigger away from here. And I was like, nah. Hired that nigger. We hired that nigger. We wrote the, me and that nigger argued every day, I wrote the best shit in the world. Damn. You know what I mean?

Yeah. So if you ever get a room, nigga, get the motherfucker you hate in that motherfucker. Damn. So how did you go scout a motherfucker who don't like? You over here because we hate you. Because we hate you. Nika, you be in comedy clubs, you see niggas.

You know, you know, niggas. You don't like, niggas, you don't like, you don't like, that's the real. So it's like you're giving them a job, but it's like, it's to get the best shit. It's to get the best shit. I hear some niggas you don't like in this motherfucker. You can't stand your pussy, but I got a job for you know what I mean.

I know it sounds weird, nigger. It's some bullshit, I guess. It's some bullshit, I guess. It's some bullshit, but you got to put your ego aside in order to hire that motherfucker in order to get with it. You know what I mean? I mean, it worked. It worked.

I'm telling you, it, niggins. So how do you keep it on that basis instead of a nigger coming in trying to play the snate role and trying to get you out when you don't got the nigga high? Well, this is your show? Nah, nah, he ain't gonna do that. Like, he already knows it's my show, so therefore he ain't gonna do it like that, but he's gonna be opinionated. And that's what I'm hiring him for. I'm hired a motherfucker gonna be opinionated.

I wanna know why you hate black women so much, nigga. You can ask that nigga offside of the work. Talk to that nigga on the phone or something when you got tired. I ain't gonna get you into my workspace, nah, I want that, yeah, I don't know my black women, speakerphone. Rain man, fuck him, fucking. Right, no, that's sick, no.

Pitch-haid, niggas, I love black women. Hope. It's a nigga here. Yeah. He's gonna say some shit you never would have thrown up. You would have never thought of. You would have never thought of. That's what they, that's what they do,

because you don't think like them. Right, right. You know what I mean? Right. Damn. shit you, you're going to say some shit, you're going to be like, nigger, what the fuck is you talking about? Damn.

But then you're going to be like, that's an episode. Did you see the game taking it that way? Like, even when you started writing, you was like, all right, but you said the writing is what kind of got you back into the space. I had this other show that was going to be on Comedy Central called Super Black, and I hired a whole bunch of niggas, and we sat in them up with ate chicken and smoked weed. Nigger, we kicked it in that motherfucking, nigga. Ain't wrote one good episode.

Yeah, we had a good time with that motherfucker. Yeah, we're as black as fucking that motherfucking nigga. Y'all got a episode. That's the show. We're gonna have your camera on that. But that's the nigga you need to be hired right now. You tell me you're out of him. When are we gonna do the show?

That's the nigga you fired at the show. When are we gonna write this episode? What are you? What are we going right on? On the next episode of me, nobody likes. Niggas, nobody like. Next to you know, the niggas is like, yeah, grab your shit.

Fuck out there. You were in an era where it wasn't no two-week notice, no nothing. They just look and be like, hey, guys, all you guys are fired, okay? They'd be like, thank you. Later. Bye. Grab your shit. You're like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Dion, after that blunt. Let that be the last one. I'll tell you, I'm gonna tell you right now. Don't roll up anymore. You're going on black. We're having a blackout. We're ever going black for a day or two. Pack your shit.

They're not calling you back. They're not calling you back. Guys, can we just flip the set for the all white shelf? That's smooth. That's true. So have you ever, well, you say you ain't scared to fail, but like, what's your favorite room? Because I come from theater.

So the arenas, I know the different feeling from theater, arena, comedy club. My favorite is always comedy club, because it's intense. I can bring them into my world. I know that the arena is. The arena is more so like, okay, here's the show. And theater is kind of like, it's in between.

It depends on how it's set up. So it's like, what's your favorite to perform? Comedy Club. Comedy Club is my favorite, because it's less people. And when it's less people, you can fix a problem easier that way. I mean, you can alternate your shit or whatever. comedy club and shit but theaters you know they they dope but it's intimate right comedy club is more intimate and shit you know what I mean so I always always go to a

room I just be popping up the shit I did it out here in Atlanta how you find them shit you just call but you plug here this is yeah all you got to do is doing something I'm sliding through right right right they'd be like all right shit yeah come on where you pop that where you popped up there uh Atlanta comedy comedy The one of the underground? The new one? No, no. You got a new one.

Yeah. I don't know about that. Right. But it's underground, though. Like, it's the comic club under. I'm from the city. Yeah, it's sound dangerous. It ain't dangerous.

It's just like, niggas, you want a nigga to come under the ground? Is that the underground? There's already too much shit going on on top of the ground. You know how long it'll take for the niggins? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It sounds dangerous. Listen.

You never been in the underground. Where? I'm from the city. I said, I got it underground, I'm like, where? At the underground. Literally, under that bitch. And one of the, like, people don't understand the underground was a monumental place in Atlanta downtown. When you came and stopped at Five Points, and you went around that Lacona, and you went up under that underground, nigga.

That was the most people I ever seen in my life one time, and I ain't even get a chance to go in underground. I just looked, and they ain't seen them my heads, and people had to be almost like 5,000 people down the time. I said, man, I'm not walking through that shit. You're a free, Nick. Hell no, they're just a regular day in the city, when that shit was popping. Everybody wearing fake shit down there. Kyle's a question.

Big black bags, everybody had big black bags. Down in Atlanta, y'all got speakers in every place, right? Yeah. Y'all play music everywhere. Yeah. That shit is wild, like restaurants. Yeah. It'd be loud as hell in there too.

Cleaners, Target. Like, niggas is beat music everywhere. Like all times. This is a musical-ass town like that, huh? You ain't have been to a Target in Tennessee? Yeah, Target, you know, they'd be playing Target shit. Oh, okay. Yeah.

In public. Yeah. They mean white stories. They have black managers. We didn't really see no white manager, no public in no public in Crowellate unless you go to a white town. You go to. You go outside the city.

Either way in Atlanta, but they're black, black on black-de-black. Yeah. That's you go crazy. You go to Publis on Camp Creek. Play Pretty Ricky. But that one at Atlantic Station, that shit ain't even the whole public. That's a piece of public.

Yeah. It's public. It's public. You're gonna pair of grocery stuff. One more question. Do a lot of niggas down here, they trick on a lot of women down here? What?

Spin all of their money. Damn, I can tell. Spell to my sprint at all. A nigga, act like they don't. I ain't buy no pussy. Bruh, you got bought the whole wash machine. It meant a trick to you about a watch machine. It meant on any white clothes.

Diggick, I had just met this chick down here, nigga. And she was just, I was like, yeah, we can hang out. She was like, cool. She was like, let me get 200 so I can go get a bottle of wine. I'm like... Oh, they bit by tricking now. No, no, let me run it back. It's a lot of women selling pussy down here, too.

It ain't just that the niggas is coughing it up because they want to. They want that pussy, man. But look, she... 200, you would have said, and I bring my pussy back instead of change. But like, if you were in the mind stay up, girl, I make it hit some pussy, he just gave me $200. Like, I needed it

so bad. She just, no, that was going to hit you for some moment. That blew my mind and said, I ain't going to any lie. I was like, I just met you. Because she got wine, but she still need gay money. Look at my dad, you spent all the wine money and he's got no girl.

So what you used to go to the wines, though? Big it. I was not. She was setting you up to hit you for a few more because y'all was going to go out. It did. She told me to get her Uber, and she was eight minutes away. I said, shut! You ain't even got eight minutes of fare?

I'm like, you can't pull up you eight minutes. I get up to come get you, bitch. If it's that serious. Like, I didn't even look. I said, send me your address. And at the fair was 1350. He ain't got 1350 on that . You got cash out cut.

I'm going to see you 1350. I did. I'm not saying you still fuck. I still fuck. I still come out of $13. All right, bitch. I got $13. Because he hit me like, she hit me with the for real.

You know how I'm gonna make the decision? I guess. That's funny. No cap, bro. Damn. We gotta do better. We gotta do better. Maybe in that stage, bro.

You rarely ain't fin-free cooches dying out. This ain't like free cooches is fading on. You got to bat something. No, it still exists. A bitch fucking you, just because she liked you, man. That shit. You think so? She in California.

She even faking it like she like you. She in California. Huh? What a bitch fucking with you? Because she fuck with you. It's always. Even if she fuck, listen. You just might not be around them,

but it's always somebody after. Even if you fuck for free the first time, nigger, you're gonna pay for the second and third. I'm telling you. Them hoes is trick. They tricky, they are up there. They're like, ooh, I'm gonna get them to do it. Pooh, pooh, you're like, man, she's fun with me.

And then before you know it, you don't bought a whole washing machine. You don't bought a whole... Did this happen to you? I know. You're speaking on yourself. This is second washing machine reference. She's going to text me, too, so I've seen young little interviews. I ain't talking about you.

I'm just saying I don't bought a washing machine for both. Oh, so that's what you do? You buy a big thing, right? Hey, bitch, hey. And I'm just saying, you buy a washing machine and no drive? I ain't even gonna cap, or whatever, she got their washing machine for her. It was reasonable.

No, man. I said, you might work gonna get you a drive team. No, I'm telling you, man, that's it. That's right. That's my hard. What? Get the one that's, get the clothes on top of it. Get the one that's, get the one that's stuck on top.

Because I had to tell me. You're gonna have to wash them to hang your clothes outside. You're gonna have to rewash them, baby. Yeah. Go on get the drive. So, talking about, we kind of one that matched the watch machine. Don't get too different one. You can't get the bigger watch.

Can't get the bigger dry, bitch. because you didn't watch that in the cold. But you got two, no, don't get too different. It's all kind of free pussy out here. Don't believe the hype. Brother, Tristan, brother, the free pussy is, they learning now. They learning.

I'm telling you, you may get it. First two time for the free ski. This bitch is scheming. What happened, bro? You might as well tell the story. No, that doesn't deal with a lot of holes. That's just what they do, like, you know. That's what happened.

When you get caught up in the matrix, you know, you find the TV, you got to be on a watch machine. You know, I'm about to drive. He caught up in the hole matrix. No, but see what it is, I'm the type of niggins and understand that this sheet costs on time. Nobody warned you about the whole matrix. I ain't driven. It costs the later out.

With one hole, you meet another ho, and now you're about 36 layers deep in the home matrix. You got to get out that circle. But see what it is, you damn, bitch, you don't know. You damn, you. Because if your friend knew I bought you that wash machine, bitch, she'd fit to double up. She's going to be like, girl, you don't let this bitch. He ain't bought you a wash machine, ho.

That's how it started. What you need? That's how you go from bad to worse. I heard you squeaking when you rolled up. This nigga fuck with bitches who are on their lads. They're not on their lads. They like to settle. I'm like, bitch, you're selling for the squeaky.

You sell it for the squeaky at that time. No, bro. I like to fuck a bitch that settle and then you upgrade them. Like, listen, I don't need to hear you that ride down the block. You need to pull up smooth impossible. That's a bad enough to get you out. Yeah. I mean, they do be good looking too, though. That way, it can't be on God. I'd be like, this you.

I thought I would give you good conversation to go out somewhere. Nah, they ain't fucking with all that good conversation. They ain't talking about that. Yeah, exactly. You caught up in the whole matrix. it is what it is, man. It's going to always cost a whole matrix.

Yes, the whole matrix is real. It's a tax right off. You fuck with one terrible motherfucker. They're going to lead you to three terrible motherfuckers. And now you got to just cut off everything.

He was like, no, you're behind me, ma'am. You're telling you, hey, go right. The back house was cold up. It was cool though, but I was hot. Oh, my mama, that shit ain't cool. I don't like staying in the Airbnb. I feel like I'm on the run. I don't know why, but.

You got to stay at a knoxed at a house, my brother. You can't be cruel enough to anything. A hair at an Airbnb feel much worse than a hair at the hotel. I feel like a hotel I can complain that they're going to give me something. But that Airbnb, I'd be like. Now, I ain't even gonna lie. They didn't clean my Airbnb up. So when I look behind the dresser, I see some.

Who do I contact? Like some panty hole. No, man. I see like three on, though. You see what I'm saying. So I'm the next. me being a nigga, I'm like, I mind my business. I'm not gonna touch the panty holes.

You dig what I'm saying? So I'm like, dang, the cleaning people ain't seen the first time. I know they ain't gonna see them the second time. Then they're gonna hit me up to something like, you dirty, you leave it, panning holes. I'm like that. You got a truck, muscle, you even get.

Paramount plus. Poppe it. Yeah, definitely. So down here shooting that. And once I'm done with that, go sit my ass down for a minute. I'm just shooting that shit for some months. So then after that, go tour.

Go work on some material and then go tour. So what's your sit down process? Like when you say, ah, I'm gonna sit my, you know, everybody say that. Because once we get to get the shit moving, This is when you go to a mid-eval cat. Yeah, yeah. So when you say sit-down, what's your sit-down process?

Like two, three months? No, no, no, I can't sit for two, three months. I can sit for about two weeks. Damn. Sit down for two weeks, and then after that, then I'm going to be like, I'm going to get antsy and shit. I'm going to be like, all right, let me go out. Let me go, let me go through something.

I'll be thinking I'm going to sit-out. Let me go see what's happening. Let me go live, yeah, go around and do some shit or whatever. Yeah, so that's my process. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to go sit down for two weeks. I'm gonna just start venturing out, going places, doing shit, you know. So when you say I'm coming off tour,

it's because you have the TV shows and everything else that's taking up time from you not being on the road every weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't. Like, I can't at all. Like, right now, like I said, the show is, like, number one priority. Right. Getting this out there. And, you know, it's a show where people ain't seen me in this.

people ain't seen me like this so I've really been like focusing focusing where I put stand up aside for a minute where I can focus on this because it's a way different departure than anybody ever seen me before you know

when we was doing the harder they fall that was like I guess an introduction to people seeing me being serious so everyone after that yeah that's a smooth and it's fun to see because we got from it. That we show you in action.

That's the media. When we got to see a motherfucker is, hey, I'm like, oh, you're going to get the goddamn wild out. In the dusty hands down, you did that, you did that. So after that, I think

people was like, yo, I think he can pull this off. So hopefully when people see it, they, you know, see this shit. It's just like, it's on some ill-ass gangster shit. I can't wait. Yeah, so.
