Because this is the last Breakfast Club interview of the year, but it's also the last Breakfast Club interview in this studio. Correct. You know what I mean? And I'm actually glad that he's here. This is a great note to end on after 13 years.

That's right. Ladies and gentlemen, Drewski is joining us. Thank you. Good morning. What up, Drewski? No pressure, Drewski, but this is the last day. Yeah, y'all don't give me the bullshit just because I'm the last one, though. No, no, no. Yeah, let's is joining us. Thank you. What up, Drewski? No pressure, Drewski, but this is the last day. Y'all don't give me the bullshit just because I'm the last one, though. Yeah, let's wrap it up.

You know why I'm glad you're here? Because you represent the now, but you also represent the future. And that's what The Breakfast Club is currently doing right now. We represent the now, but we're moving into the future, so it's good to have you here, brother. How are you feeling, brother? I feel good, man. I feel blessed. I'm actually super excited I'm up here because I literally sat back and watched y'all for

so long. It's like one of those moments where it's like, damn, I'm here, you know? You get a lot of money, Drewski. Nah, come on. You're getting a lot, Drewski. Drewski, stop by. First of all. You see how they try to just pop it off?

One of your partners was a close friend of mine, Hovind. Oh, yes. God bless him. That's Hovind, yeah. Was he your manager? Yeah. At one point, we worked together, yes. God bless him, Dave. Was he your manager? Yeah, at one point we worked together, yeah. Not towards the end of it because, you know, business is business, right?

Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. But no, he was a great guy, though. So I'm fully aware that you're getting money, Drewski. Oh, man. It's gracious. What makes you say that? I mean, your outfit, your chain, and plus I see you on commercials.

This was a gift, though. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm not just out here buying chains. Who gave you that? You know, we'll talk about that later. Yeah, nah, we'll talk. You know, I don't want to put it out there. But yeah, it was a gift, though.

So let's start from the beginning. How did it all get started? You went to Georgia Southern University. Yes. And you wanted to be in sports broadcasting. Yeah. And what happened? I think I just wanted to be on TV, man.

It wasn't really about doing sports broadcasting. It was just like something I knew I could go to school for to entertain. I didn't know. I knew my parents wanted me to go to school. So I'm like, I'm going to figure out a way to stay in school and do some cool shit, you know? So, yeah, that was, like, the go-to just to do that, though. But I ended up doing what I really wanted to do now, you know? How did you make that pivot?

Dropping the fuck out of high school. I mean, dropping out of high school, dropping out of college. So what year did you drop out? I think I did one year at GGC, which is like a closed school to where I'm from. Then I went to Georgia Southern, and I did like a half a semester. Jesus. And just stopped going to classes, just all in general. Let's talk about that mindset.

I mean, I never went to college, period. So what made you realize that college isn't the move for me? I think, bro, just going up, those classes are so big. You don't even have a real connection with none of the teachers. I think when I started out at the smaller school, I was cool because I still knew people where I was from. Everybody's still cool with each other. It felt like high school again. That's another year of high school.

You get up to those big colleges. I thought it was about to be like a party. You know what I'm saying? You watch movies like ATL or Drumline and stuff, and you see kind of like the college type. You're like, okay. Right, right, right. All right, all right.

And I thought it was going to be like that, but nah, man, I went all the way out there to that party school, and I ended up hating it, bro. Really? I didn't like it. What made you hate it? Just, you know? just you know just it just wasn't I went out there

for other reasons I went out there thinking this is like the lifestyle I could live like yeah this is the real college lifestyle and I ended up just hitting me in the mouth with it like but you thought it was going to be like partying and women what you thought it was going to be? Yeah I wanted that man I wanted a real college experience because when you

go to those small colleges you you don't get that. It's just like I said, it's high school again. So I was like, okay, I'm going to step out here. I'm trying to get my deal on. But, yeah, I needed that, though, because I ended up figuring out that I wanted to be a comedian when I didn't go to class that other semester. So basically you went to college and was like, damn, we still got to do work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually worse because the teachers

don't give a crap about you. You even got to show up. You got to do your work. Yeah, you walk in, there's a lecture, there's a thousand people sitting in here. They don't care who you are. You walk in, man, listen, man, it ain't fair about it. Let's go back to I was going to say, when are you going back?

I was going to say, let's go back before college. Let's go back before high school because you just don't just start you just don't start being funny like i can watch you and tell this guy is naturally funny right it's not performative you had to be the class clown and disruptor in school something um yeah i was i was always the class clown man since i was like in elementary school uh but i didn't know that's what i wanted i actually i wanted to do that but i didn't know that's what i wanted i actually i wanted to do that but i didn't know it was like a real profession that could like be my career right you know so like i'm young and i used to go to second third grade and i used to ask kids be like who do you

think the funniest in our class is and they'd be like oh you're so funny man like you know i thought that was like the cool thing so every year like my goal was like yeah i'm gonna make sure i'm the funniest in this whole grade like i want everybody to make sure I'm the funniest in this whole grade. I want everybody to agree that I'm the funniest. So it was just something small I would put in the back of my head. But I never thought I would really end up making it a career, honestly. I just didn't think too deep into it. But I definitely have always been a class con, man.

What did you do back in the day that you realized, like, okay, when you think about it now, I went too far back then. All them ass whoopings, man. My dad was whooping my ass. Really? Let me talk about you going too far. What did you go too far on? What did I go too far on?

What, in elementary school? Yeah, like, prank-wise. So let me give you an example. But the trauma, I'd rather hear about the trauma from the ass whooping. Let me give you an example. For sure, man. He used to make fun of this kid that was mentally challenged. Oh, man.

Right? And he would make fun of this kid all the time until one day the kid turned around and beat Charlamagne's ass. He didn't beat my ass. He choked me. It's a difference. He put me in a dope feed. He put me in a sleeper. You know they strong, though.

What? Hey, I'm telling you. You know they strong. You have no idea. You've got to see how they built. They stature built. They always got big booties. So you should know. Hey, I'm telling you. I never did. See, that's why see how they built. They stature built. They always got big booties. So you should know, hey, I'm telling you,

that's why I never did that. They just go into the bathroom. You know, when they go into the bathroom, they pull their pants all the way down. And I could tell from stature, I'm like, okay, this dude built up. He got some strong hind legs on. You know, you don't mess with them, man.

I'm telling you right now. He'll post you up in the paint real well. Yeah, man. I just always knew not a mess with them, man. I'm telling you right now. He just told me. He post you up in the paint real well. Yeah, man. I just always knew not to mess with them. I can tell. So why'd you bring up your daddy beating you? Oh, man. You know, that was just some... Where you from, first of all? And why he tried to make it seem like it was just the worst thing.

I think everybody got whoopings. Yeah, everybody got whoopings, man. But you just volunteered the information. Nah, I mean that's really how I knew. Like, I was really wilding out when I was in elementary and middle school. Got you. Yeah. Go ahead.

Say what you was saying. No, that's it. I will say this. I will say this. The reason I say you probably wasn't wilding out like you thought you was, our parents, man, the way they – I don't know what year you was born, but I was born in 1978. The way we was raised, them ass-cuttings we used to get,

that was them projecting their trauma on us sometimes. Yeah, yeah. Because I ain't deserve to get beat with no extension cord. I think you might have, but he might have deserved it. My dad was old school like that, too, though. He used all types of stuff. He tried to light his house on fire. That's not what happened.

What's the reason? I was in my room just playing with a lighter. I wasn't trying to light nothing on fire fire. That's not what happened. That's not what happened. What's the reason? I was in my room just playing with a lighter. I wasn't trying to light nothing on fire. I was playing with the lighter. What happened? Nothing. Like, I was like, I would light the carpet, put it out, light the carpet, put it out. Light the carpet.

That's not trying to set the house on fire. Like, have you ever said, you know what, let me try to light my carpet. Yeah, but I did stupid stuff, too, like that. Like, I was big on the stupid stuff. Like, I put a paper clip in an outlet, and it blew up on me in my face. For real, for real. And, yeah, I did a little stupid stuff. How long you been suicidal?

No, I was not. What? Why? Why did you try to kill yourself? I'm traumatized. Nah, man. Why did you try to kill yourself? Nah, I wouldn't.

Why would you do that? It's just curious things, man. You know, when people used to tell me, yo, don't do that, I'm like, I need to figure out the reason. Why is everybody tripping if you put something in the outlet? Like, yo, I see plugs going there all the time. I got to see what's the reason behind that. So just stupidity, man. So when did you twist and turn to doing skits online?

Like, what was that first turn? I think my mom was a big factor behind all that, man. My mom is hilarious. She honestly is a character herself. And she would joke around and play in character sometimes in real life. Like when I was maybe five, six years old, we would be getting ready for bed, me and my brother. And, um, she would come in and like, we're, we're asking like, mommy, can I get water?

Mommy, can you tuck me in? Mommy? She'd be like, Oh yes, sir. Master. Well, I guess that for you, I wouldn't want to look you in your eyes. If you, you know, I used to be like, yo, what is wrong with this? Like, but we'd be dying laughing. And then we ended up just falling asleep cause we're just laughing and she'd just go over top but she definitely inspired a lot of the you know the characters and and and just me playing around and having fun i think she always would record everything i did for a reason i didn't know until now you know i look back and i'm like she was influencing a lot of this stuff yeah you're one of the people who use the internet

the right way yeah you know what i mean like you've used it to you know build a career for yourself that has actually turned into you know a career so what was like your first breakout moment online you think man i i was doing so much during the pandemic the pandemic was a great time for me because everybody was like tuned into everybody was. Anything. So I took over like the whole pandemic. I was doing skits about these white boys I went to college with. Kyle

Roger, who I would do this frat boy character that I would always mess around with. And I did a lot of other stuff like that people could relate to and find as funny, you know. Yeah, we took over during pandemic. That was a good time for me. Not healthy.

And what was your first big break? Like the first time people seeing you? Because after the pandemic, everything went off. You did commercials. You were doing tours. You were doing everything. So what was that first break? You on tour now?

The Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda? Yeah, man. Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda tour, brother. Go get y'all tickets. I think the first big opportunity I was handed was Drake's Laugh Now, Cry Later video. That was a really, really big moment for me. He reached out to you? Yeah, yeah, he did.

The DM? Yeah, it was really early on too, man. But I knew he was watching because, you know, he would laugh at certain stuff in the videos and stuff. And I was like, okay, that's crazy. And he reached out, asked for my number, and then we had a couple conversations. Next thing you know, he was like, yo, I need you to come to Oregon at the Nike headquarters and we're going to shoot this video. I got

this concept. I was just like, I didn't even, I was speechless. I didn't even know what to say. Did you think it was really him when he hit you or did you think it was somebody fake? No, I knew it was him. I knew it was him because, you know, he's one of those people that I tapped in. He don't really let a whole bunch of people run his stuff. I knew it was him. How you know, he's one of those people that I, like, tapped in. He don't really let a whole bunch of people run his stuff, you know.

I knew it was him. How much does one charge for that? Because you were young in the game. Yeah, yeah. You probably just want the opportunity, so you're probably not even thinking about the money. Great cause is free. Yeah, no, no, no. It wasn't.

I think it was off the love, but also, no, they threw me something. It was a good check. But see, the reason I brought that up is because a lot times uh people don't recognize opportunity unless there's a paycheck attached to it to me that would just have been a great opportunity that i would have took yeah but see i sacrificed a lot of other stuff during that time like i would go and do a whole bunch of stuff for free that i knew was a great opportunity like um before jack blew up jack harlow blew up i went on tour with him for free. Okay.

And literally because he was just like, yo, I can bring you on and you can host before I go up on stage, which was like small shows at the time. He was like, we only got one slot on the bus, so you can't bring none of your friends. I have no money. I don't have a budget to give you to come out. He was like, honestly, this could just help you just get experience on stage. And I was like, all right, bet. Dope. And I was like broke. I couldn't even pay my rent at the time and i was like i'm going like it don't matter he was like i could pay for your meals you know and we'll just figure it out

and that that was one of those moments as well that was just like sacrifices you know just how long y'all on tour uh almost two months i think whoa so this is great you on tour for two months, I think. Whoa, so this is great. You on tour for two months. He's paying for your food, I'm sure, with hotels. Nope, we was staying on that bus. Yeah, we doing truck stops. We was stopping at truck stops in the morning. Wow.

Yeah, man, we was on that bus. See, I took showers and washed up at truck stops. Yeah, like we even, if they did get a hotel, it would be like one hotel room. Everybody's about to go in here. You go shower. You come out. You go's about to go in here. You go shower. You come out. You go shower.

You go come out. You go shower. You come out. And everybody get right back on the bus. It never was like hotel rooms for everybody. So Jack wasn't even Jack yet? Yeah, not yet. But he, you know.

Man, there's nothing better than that, man. Yeah, man. And now y'all both have come up together. You know what I'm saying? He's blow up to be a big star. Now he can give you even better looks. Yeah, man. You know who's house Thanksgiving? Yeah. I see y' a big star. Now he can give you even better looks. Yeah, man. You know this house Thanksgiving?

Yeah. I see y'all did y'all research, huh? How was that? When you said the food was terrible, I understand. Yeah, nah. I can't even trash it, man, because I don't know who cooked it. You know, I thought it was his mom. I can't trash it for that because I love that lady.

But somebody was cooking that stuff. I don't know who it was. I love that lady, but somebody was cooking that stuff. I don't know who it was. It was somebody white, I'm sure. Yeah, yeah, his whole family, yeah. So were you reminded in that moment, like, oh, man, Jack's cool as hell, but he's really white? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they were singing kumbayas for Thanksgiving.

They'd be singing, like, songs and stuff. Yeah, they're big on that. You know, they print out these sheets kind of like y'all got, and they pass them around to the kids, the moms, the aunts, and they singing white and spiritual songs. What did you do when they were singing? I was just staring at everybody. I think I was recording.

I was like, yo, is this some type of, like, yo, I don't know. I didn't know if it was a ritual or something. You know. Did you act like the food was good while you was there? I definitely put on a little bit. Yep. Definitely misled them. I definitely misled them.

Only to tell the world later on. Yeah, I feel bad. That's why I was saying I feel bad. I don't know who's cooking the stuffing, but somebody don't know what they're doing. Damn. It was that bad? Yeah. You know, they like to put breadcrumbs in everything.

Yeah. Yeah. You top it off with breadcrumbs. It'd be like know, they like to put breadcrumbs in everything. Yeah. Yeah, you top it off with breadcrumbs. It'd be like green beans, top it with breadcrumbs. Macaroni, top it with breadcrumbs. Why? Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

Raisins in a potato salad? Pointless stuff, man. Yeah. And Jack was acting like it slapped. Oh, yeah. You know, that's just spam, though, man. They cool. They cool.

I'll tell you that, though. They cool. They might not be able to cook. They cool, though. So what'd you do? Say, hey, man, Jack, take me to KFC or something. Man, I was in there singing them kumbay though, man. They cool. They cool. I'll tell you that though. They cool. They might not be able to cook. They cool though. So what'd you do? Say, hey man, Jack, take me to KFC or something. Man, I was in there singing them kumbayas, man. You crazy.

I didn't say none of that. And did you spend the night at his house? I think around that time. We were on tour. So yeah, I think we might have got back on the bus after that. Gotcha. So what does this Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda tour look like? Oh man, this is about to be amazing.

This is a great tour. You're going to get me. You're going to get some of Coulda Been Records. Who's on Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda tour look like? Oh, man, this is about to be amazing. This is a great tour. You're going to get me. You're going to get some of Coulda Been Records, you know. Who's on Coulda Been Records? Oh, man, we ain't signed nobody yet, but we looking. Oh, you looking. We always looking, you know. And I always say this.

It's not about talent. Some people just got to look, right? And it's always, I feel like sometimes people just have what it takes to be in my presence, you know? Okay. So, yeah. With that being said, you know. You think y'all ever drop music? Yeah.

We ain't to that point, man. I'm still disciplining some of the artists that we look and assign. I'm still disciplining. You tried to sign NBA, right? Yeah, I tried to sign him, man. He's an interesting cat. Why you say that? He's just, you know, bipolar.

Yeah, I tried to get on the same page with him. I never can, though. Who else did you try to sign that didn't? I think I tried to get Kodak. I remember Kodak. Yeah, I tried to get Kodak. He didn't like that I presented the opportunity in the way I did. How'd you present it?

I just told him, I said, yo, we passed on your opportunity. But we still looking. And he was, hey, he didn't like that. No? Mm-mm. I can see why. Yeah. And I also see you were a love interest in the video.

In my cousin's video. Which one? My cousin. Chloe Bailey. Oh, that's your cousin? Yeah. That's what they say. Are you real?

Look at that ass. Oh, yeah, man. Like third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. It don't matter. Yeah. That's my cousin. That's my girl. That's my girl. Yeah.

Chloe Bailey. That's crazy. Yeah, y'all do a lot of IG lives together. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. People think y'all really dating. Yeah. Really? You know, that's just a rumor.

We did a movie, and, you know, people just, everybody talks and stuff. Yeah. I'm the love interest in the movie that we're doing. Yeah. What's the movie? I didn't hear about that. Praise this. It's actually going to be a very

funny movie. Do you have a love scene? Like love making? What's a love scene? I don't know. It's a church movie, man. It's a family movie. It's a family movie. We ain't talking about love making.

I wouldn't be against it. But I'll tell you what, she's, she's a very beautiful individual. Um, she's very hardworking and yeah, that movie has got to be amazing. Who did, who produced it? Uh, Will Packer. Tina Gordon directed it. I never heard about that. Has that even been announced? Uh, I believe so, but I think it's like under the radar right now. I don't know if we, but when it comes out, it'll definitely be pushed for sure.

And when somebody asks you to do something like that, do you ever say to yourself, I've never been in a love interest before? Yeah, no, it was so weird because this is my first movie. But I fit the role, though, because it was a comedic role. We never fully told each other that we liked each other in the movie. So it was one of those scenarios where we kept missing, you know. It's like the moment's there, but it's like, ah, you know. So maybe in the second one.

Do you feel the need to prove yourself to, I guess, the OG comics? Because there was this thing one time where OG comics would be like, oh, people from the Internet aren't real comics. Yeah. Why do you think I bring this tea up here, though? Because, yeah, it's to look like I know what I'm talking about. I seen the OGs coming up here doing that. I seen, like, Kevin Hart and them. You know, I seen them bring tea, so I'm like, alright.

Let me make a statement. Yeah, let me bring hot cocoa up here, you know? That's true. That's true. That is true. That's one of my things I knew I was going to do when hot cocoa up here, you know? That's true. That's true. That is true. And you know, that's one of my, you know, that's one of my things I knew I was going to do when I came up here. Drink tea.

Yeah. I was going to bring something just to look like I'm noble. Just to look. Now, when you go on a road with drama and Wiz Khalifa and all those, how is doing that? Because you're a comedian amongst all these artists. Is that difficult? Because they want to see people perform. You're saying like when we're just chilling, hanging out? No, when you're on that? Because you're a comedian amongst all these artists. Is that difficult? Because they want to see people perform. You're saying like when we're just

chilling, hanging out? No, when you're on tour, when you're working. Oh, when I'm on tour. Nah, that's not hard, man. You know, those are the ones that show love the most. Yeah, I like when people come out and come to shows and stuff. Yeah, that's nothing. This dude is a bullshitter,

man. He's so full of shit yeah yeah keep going you say you appreciate it yeah yeah but you never answered the question about do you feel you know uh you you got to get these ogs respect as a comedian um yeah i think that's that's that always happens man and uh you i think you you just got to go through the hard work. The first thing Kevin Hart told me when I went to his show and I went backstage and I was just watching him. You know, everybody congratulating him. Like, oh, my God, it was a great show.

Oh, my God. And I was just looking at him from across the room because they invited me to the green room and I'm just like, all right, when's my moment to say what's up? You know, like I was kind of nervous, you know. And I'm expecting just to be like, yo, you had a great show. Dude breezes past me and he looks at me and he says, stop being a bitch. I was like, what the hell is he talking about, man? And I had my hand extended out like, hey, what's up, man?

I thought he was going to be like, hey, you're killing this shit, man. He walked past me again. He said, I'm telling you, stop being a bitch. And I'm like, what the fuck? So I'm asking his boys. I'm like, yo, what is Kevin talking about for real? And he walked up to me. Get on that stage. Yeah, he said, get on that stage.

He said, stop acting like you're too good to do stand-up. He was like, you're doing all the little hoes in the tours. He said, but you ain't doing what you're supposed to be doing. He said, see, y'all scared, man. He said, these new cats, y'all scared. Y doing he said y'all scared man he said these new cats y'all scared y'all think y'all got all the fame y'all think y'all the shit he said stop being a bitch

I'm like man that hit my soul man and I started going to these open mics and working on my set you know and yeah you gotta fail before you we always ask you remember your best show and your worst show what was the worst show let Let's start with worst.

I had a really, really terrible experience more recently. I tried to say a joke. What city? This was in Atlanta. I was just going on the open mic and yeah, it just fell very flat. What was the joke about?

I'm trying to remember. I think I told a story. That traumatizing you had to forget? Yeah, I just wanted to erase that from my mind. I can't think of the joke I said, but it was something about my past. Yeah, it fell flat though. I think somebody clapped in agreement

with me, and I knew. I said, okay, that wasn't what I wanted. I'm not up here preaching, man. Somebody started you know, oh, okay. And I'm like, hey, man, expecting a laugh here. So what do you do from that? So now you're Drewski. Now this is recent, so this is Drewski, Drewski.

Millions of followers. You're on tour. You go on stage. They cheering because they're excited to see you. I set it straight. I tell them as soon as I get out there, I say, hey, man, I'm working on stuff. Y'all don't expect nothing because, you know, people try to stand up and do it. They stand in ovation.

But, you know, when you're working on your set for like a big show that's coming up, you got to say, hey, I just walked out there and say, hey, y'all know, hey, I am Drewski, yes, but I'm working on stuff. Don't expect no big, you know, my best jokes right now, you know. But that's how you get better, though. That's the best way. How'd you walk off stage

after they did that? Did you just end right there uh i think i tried to say something else and uh yeah i thought i said that's my time you know just try to say you try to do something and just yeah that's my time y'all thank you i want to go back to what you said about the best show we talked about the worst show oh the best thing about politics so what was the best do you remember your best show you had um I think my best show, I did a piece of Coulda Been when I was on the Lil Baby and Chris Brown tour. And I had this dude come out who was previously on my Instagram Live, and he came out and danced, and the crowd loved it.

It was hilarious. I was just reacting to everything he did, and that was a really good show. So you wasn't telling no jokes? Nah, it was a whole bunch of— Yeah, it was like improv, you know? It was like—I was just out there just wilding out. Like, I was fucking with the crowd and, you know, all that. Sorry for cussing.

No, go ahead. But to that point, I knew exactly—when Kevin said, I knew exactly what he was saying to you you because that's what all OGs do. But do you have to hit the stage? That might not be your thing. Yeah, but he's saying stop being a bitch as in, like, go out there and try it before you act like you're too good to be doing or don't be out here acting like you, you know,

don't be acting like you the shit and you ain't even tried something that, you know, could be potentially huge for you. So he's not necessarily saying I have to be a stand-up comedian. He's just saying, like, yo, go try it out. What are you scared? Because on the flip side, there's stand-up comedians that can't do what you do online. They can't do it.

They're not good in sketch. Like, you might be a great sketch performer. I'm not saying that you can't be both. I'm just saying you might be, that might be your lane. You're right. Only time will tell. Only time will tell. We'll see if I get booed off another stage

or not even booed, another clap like that. Yeah. Another clap like that, that might wrap it up. Do you feel like social comedians get the respect they deserve though? A lot of them don't.

They try to be like they, like they the shit, man. I be talking to some of these dudes, they think they like big time, for real, for real. They get a couple followers, and they start ignoring calls and acting like they can't do certain stuff, respond to DMs. So, yeah, it's a whole bunch of them princesses out there, man. It's weird.

All this clout stuff is just weird, man. Sometimes you see these dudes, they'll dap you up, say what's up to you. Sometimes you see them again, a couple months later, they act like they don't even see you. And see, I don't remember I haven't been following you forever, but I don't remember the clout era

Drewski, because there's always an era where there's somebody just doing things for attention, but then they realize, oh no no let me actually start doing actual sketches and doing I don't remember you ever being a I never was into that man you know you would see some of these comedians they were going to stores and

you remember Boone Gang? Yeah licking shit yeah yeah yeah just wilding out crazy screaming yelling doing all type of stuff y'all remember Boone Gang right? Yeah he found God now or something yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. He used to come to New York and knock on people's tables. We always used to say it was dumb, but I'm glad he did change it. Did y'all ever interview him?

Nah. He tried to come up here a couple times. Yeah, we never interviewed Boone Gang. Yeah, we never did it because of, you know, it's not right. People are trying to make some money on the street selling stuff, and he would kick the table over, jump on the table. We just didn't respect it. He was probably going to do some crazy shit up here.

But he found God. He found God. He did. He did. It He was probably going to do some crazy shit up here. But he found God. He did. He did. It wouldn't work that well if he did that up here, though. Now in that interview... I see y'all got a lock on this door now. We got security. You see those two white guys out there? Oh, see, that's what's going on. Oh, even the older dude. Well, no, it's a Puerto Rican

and a white guy. Puerto Rican and white guy. Yeah. Puerto Rico is like, he don't play that shit. No, he don't. They don't. Papa don't play that shit. No, he don't. They don't. Papa don't play that shit. He don't bullshit. He don't play around. I saw you with Speedy and you was talking about how when you're with

like A-list celebrities, paparazzi ignores you. That bothers you? Not anymore. I haven't gone out to where it's like that anymore. I did at one point in time it was like that, though. Yeah, of course.

You walk in with Jack Harlow, they say, excuse me, can you step to the side? Yeah, yeah. And around the time I was hanging with, like, Odell, you know, he's a big-timer, man. So, you know, I actually get inspired by it. Like, we'll leave, and I'll be like, damn, that's so cool. You know what I'm saying? One date, just one date, man. So it motivates you.

Yeah, it's motivation, for real. Yeah. Has any celebrity just walked past you, didn't speak to you at all saying? One date. Just one date, man. So it motivates you. Yeah, it's motivation for real. Has any celebrity just walked past you, didn't speak to you at all, and continue to ignore you? Oh, man. You just always remember that, but like, all right, I'm going to get that back. Yeah. Well, no, it's not even I get that back. I just, Hollywood is weird, man.

These people, like, they'll literally, you'll see somebody be like, oh, my God, man. Hey. Hey, I love you, boy. I love you. Next time you see that dude, he'll just be like. Shit. You'll be like, what? Like, boy. I love you. Next time you see that dude, he's going to be like, shit. You're going to be like, what? Like, yo, you're my boy, man. You remember?

And it'll be a big, big-time person. You'll be like, yo, it's just wishy-washy, man. You know, that's Hollywood, though. I'm sure y'all have seen people act different. They come and they go. Yeah, man. We've been around a long time. And you know what's so interesting? The people who are actually somebody like I'm talking about like

Jay-z's Beyonce's of the world nicest people walk in the room say what's up to everybody everybody stay self Yes, but then it's these one-hit wonders that be acting all extra But you know what? I think it is I think when you come from a certain environment you you have a notion in your head of what you think a Celebrity supposed to act like yeah, you know see that's the problem though A lot of people believe that they have to act like. Yeah. You know? See, that's the problem, though. A lot of people believe that they have to act like that, you know? Like, yeah, I'm a big time now. I got to act like I don't mess with people.

That's twisted, man. That's backwards. Now, I want to go back. You said something earlier about, you know, I don't know what the politically correct term is now, mentally challenged folks. But you talked about how fat their asses were. What? That's what you want to go back to? Now, no, because I noticed something, Drewski.

You noticed asses. And I'm going to tell you what I noticed. Yeah, man. When I forgot what performance it was, but Jack Harlow was performing on a plane. And he had all his friends on the plane. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You were looking at Jack's ass. He was sitting in the chair. Was I, though, man? Yes. I remember sitting there. Yes, you were. Yes, you were. I remember I dabbed him.

You dabbed him. And then you was like, mm. And then you leaped over. Yes. Nah remember I dapped him. You dapped him and then you was like, hmm. Then you leaped over. Yes. Nah, I think what had happened, he dropped something out of his pocket. I think his wallet dropped. He didn't bend over. Nah, he didn't bend over. Something dropped.

And I'm like, oh, there you go. He's performing. So I couldn't even say nothing. But I'm looking and I'm like, oh, okay. He dropped something out of his pocket. I think it might have been his wallet. It was his back pocket then. Yeah, his back pocket. Now you look. Y'all believe me, right, okay. He dropped something out of his pocket. I think it might have been on his wallet. It was his back pocket then. Yeah, his back pocket.

Now, you look – Y'all believe me, right? No. Y'all, come on. Hey. I don't care. I just wanted to – Hey, I ain't going to come out to breakfast club and lie.

I seen something drop, man. Yeah, I wasn't looking at that, man. It's okay. It's a performance. It's all right. That's what you went to school for. Now, anybody say it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You see how he's trying to change you? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. You see how he's trying to change you? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I was just asking a question. How long have you been noticing asses? Brother, I was born in 94. Okay. What that mean? I have nothing.

I sounded like I was, you know. That's why. I saw you gripping a couple of times. I keep grabbing that T, yeah. Keep grabbing that T. It makes me seem like I know what I'm talking about. I got nothing. I got nothing.

No, y'all stupid, man. What's next for Drewski, man? Yes, what Drewski got coming up? This could or wouldn't be a show tour. For reference, know when people ask you that, the interview might be wrapping up. Just know that. Just know that.

What's next for Drewski? It's up to you. What's next for Drewski? When people say things like, what's next for Drewski? Be prepared. What you got coming up? It could go either way. What's next for Juicy? When people say things like, what's next for Juicy? Be prepared. What you got coming up? It could go either way. It could go either way.

Or when they say, give me your Instagram. Have that Instagram. It's time. Don't do me like that. It's the last one now. Nah, I got a lot in store, man. We're writing scripts for this movie for me and Jack right now. We're actually in process of

a TV show that will be coming to FX that Kevin Hart is also involved in producing. Wow, you and Jack? No, not with me and Jack. Me and Jack, me and my friends are actually writing a movie for me and Jack right now. To shoot ourselves and my team. What's the TV show at FX? The TV show at FX

is based on my life in high school. Yeah, being like a super senior. That's intriguing. Yeah, yeah, man. Because, you know, Kev, executive produced Lil Dicky's show, Dave, which I love. Dave's funny as shit. Yes. So they're going to really let you do your thing.

Yeah, man. We, you know, we had that green light stage where everything is coming. Yeah. Yeah, man. So you was a super senior? Yeah, I wasn't a super senior. I was almost a super senior okay so uh yeah i almost didn't i just almost but thank god for the mother i got you know she made

sure you almost failed 12th grade yeah i almost bro i think i i was playing catch up the whole time i i failed every single class in ninth grade including including gym. So, yeah, just from, you know, messing around, bullshitting. But I had to play catch-up all those years. Like, I literally was behind a grade every year. And I was supposed to get class clown 12th grade when I was supposed to be a senior, but I was labeled as an 11th grader. So I won the award, but they're like, hey, man, you can't even. You didn't even take a senior picture.

How they label you as an 11th grader. Because when you're behind and you're catching up, you are still an 11th grade credit. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like until you get that credit, I'm sure you know about that. Yeah, he a young nigga. I would have never thought you failed gym. Yeah, man, I failed.

What do you mean you never thought I failed gym? Look at me. What are you talking about, man? Right. It's not that hard to tell. Right. Gym's a hard sport, man. What do you mean you never thought I'd fail, Jim? Look at me. What are you talking about, man? It's not that hard to tell. Jim's a hard sport, man. It's a hard class. We learned a lot from you. No, stop.

He was getting it. Hey, hey, hey. I know you want to wrap this up and move to the next building. No. Get my last words off, man. This is what I mean, right? When the NBA has what you got coming up, you actually got some shit coming up and so it turned into a whole other conversation

you know what I mean? You know the rest of them would be like hey man my Instagram is... Exactly so what I find interesting about that Kev told you to stop being a bitch but clearly there was something that happened some type of connection with you and Kev that ended up with Kev executive producing a TV show so tell us that story

I think he was interested because when we pitched it to his team and he had sent everybody back and wanted to talk to me one-on-one on the Zoom. And this was a long time ago. He was just so hands-on with his team and his company. And I wasn't expecting that. I actually was expecting to talk to all these other people in his company, probably never talked to him, you know. But he was so hands-on and loved the story when I was telling him

about all my high school stories that I had, you know. And he was like, bro, let's do it. Let's just make it happen. So he got the process moving even quicker up at FX. Wow. Yeah. Wow. So the show is going to be a show that, what, four seasons?

Because it's got to— Yeah, it's not going to live in high school the whole time. I think the first year will be about high school, and then I'll move on about my life, my family. There's going to be a lot of funny scenarios, though. It's a lot of funny. Where are y'all shooting? Yeah, we're working with Stacey Sher, and she is a great producer.

She also has produced Reno 911. Y'all seen Reno 911? Absolutely. Hell yeah. Lise Nash and Cedric Yarborough. Yeah. So I was so inspired by that, we ended up meeting her

and we have some, you know, some scenes on the show will be inspired by Reno 911. So I'm going to be working at my dad's company that is like a top flight, you know, security company. You going to wear the little tight dad's company that is like a top flight security company. You going to wear the little tight shorts?
