Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was assassinated. Crooks everywhere unearthed the plot to murder a one-woman WikiLeaks. She exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country

Starting point is 00:03:24 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. We have Just Niche. Hey, bing, bing, bing, bing. Peace, Just Niche. How are you? I am great.
Starting point is 00:03:33 You know, people always seem to be mentioning your name. Finally, y'all got me in here. Absolutely. Somebody funny. About damn time. Uh-oh, uh-oh. Well, it's about time, Breakfast Club. Jesus Christ. Some unfunny people
Starting point is 00:03:46 here you think you ain't gotta say no names okay cool let them know who Just Niche is yes oh man Just Niche is Chicago bred
Starting point is 00:03:53 stand up a realist yeah just pretty much go with the flow but stay in my lane and just make sure I do what I gotta do I like your shirt
Starting point is 00:04:03 I like what your shirt represents thank you cause this is one of the things that's really important to me this year cause it's I do what I gotta do. I like your shirt. I like what your shirt's representing. Thank you, because this is one of the things that's really important to me this year because this election, you're not gonna let these people know. I know you own it.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I see you always with the movement. I got y'all some shirts too. Thank you very much. So yeah, we're gonna pop it off because the young people are gonna get us our money back. So HR 40 is all about
Starting point is 00:04:18 the bill to commission and study how we're gonna get the reparations. They got the HR 414 that is the U.S. admitting that they owe us reparations. So, black people, this is all we need to be worried about. Them student loans, they were never getting
Starting point is 00:04:31 them back. So, Biden can't sell me on that, but I don't care if Trump or Biden get in there. You know, this should be the agenda we pushing because they don't care. So, I think we can get on with the court and with these young kids and TikTok. You know, we got to get the word out because people don't even know about it. Yeah, get on with the court and with these young kids and TikTok. You know, we got to get the word out because people don't even know about it. Yeah, I saw Congressman
Starting point is 00:04:48 Jamal Bowman, he the initiative that they're doing that they're pushing for is for every black person to get, I think what, $333,000 in reparations? $300,000. That's what they started and it's going to be a long, complex process. But until they do that, they got to do something. You know?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Y'all can give us everything black free until see I do you know to y'all figure out tires until y'all figure it out and I feel like if they have something in motion we watch these people give every American a stimulus check the file taxes you telling me you can't give black people a stimulus check monthly until y'all figure it out yeah a. A little reparation card or something. You know, put some money on here. Load it up until y'all figure it out. But just to keep not doing nothing is going to be ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Yeah, one thing I told Earthquake this morning, we had Earthquake up here. I was like, man, if you make a certain amount of money as a black person, just let me be tax-free. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, exactly. For 400 years. I have a long slavery war.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Like, seriously. And it's so easy. Like I say, they probably thinking like 400 years. I have a long slavery war. Like seriously. And it's so easy. Like I say, they probably thinking like, oh, black people don't want us. We do want the money. But also it's so much other stuff that y'all can start doing. That's right. You know, home loans. Y'all can give us property.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Free education. You know, mental health for sure. That's right. So it's like y'all can start this stuff. We don't have to wait until we figure it all out. But y'all got to do something. You know, give me a little reparation loan, you know, black people only. That's what Jamal is pushing.
Starting point is 00:06:09 He's pushing for a federal bill that will provide every black American with a one-time payment of $333,000 in restitution for slavery. Yeah. Let's do it. They haven't even apologized. I don't think people are realizing they have never publicly apologized for slavery. Like, you know, when people feel bad they at least say you want something from the store they ain't even asked us do we want something from the store but it's our fault because we're not we're not pushing it we don't care why would they care
Starting point is 00:06:34 they don't want us to have it no way that's right so we all get on the same page it don't matter which president is in there black people where y'all at with the hr 40 where y'all at with the hr 414 what are we doing we don't about, they don't give us nothing that way. Give me a little check your card or something. I want to correct you on one thing because this is also important to our push for slavery. I mean, push for reparations. Damn.
Starting point is 00:06:54 On July 30th, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution apologizing for American slavery and subsequent discriminatory laws and the Senate apologized in 09. Oh, they apologized. Okay, cool. So they have apologized and acknowledged it. So once you do apologized in 2009. Oh, they apologized. Okay. So they have apologized and acknowledged it.
Starting point is 00:07:07 So once you do that, you got to make amends. Yes. And that get us something from the state. Restitution. Yes. So I'm with it. So that's all. And I want to kind of just make people aware of it so they can know what to kind of be
Starting point is 00:07:16 asking their politicians for at the local, federal, and state level. Because we all have to be on the same page, y'all. We ain't going to get nothing. That's true. So how'd you get into comedy? Grey Goose. But literally I used to go to Open Mic
Starting point is 00:07:32 in Chicago all the time and people my friends were like you need to go up. Did you have a set or you just like I'm just gonna win you. Man look I had I used the force. Well I did have two jokes written on my hand cause I kinda prepped. And yeah, the shots took it from there.
Starting point is 00:07:48 So I invited all my family out. I had 30 people there. This was my first time going up. Like, I shouldn't have had nobody there because I got drunk. I forgot everything. The words sweated off my hands. Damn. I got up there.
Starting point is 00:07:59 But I was still funny, but I was winging it. What were the two jokes? Do you remember? Yes, I had just went natural. And I was talking about how black people can't have sex in the shower because we go in looking like Beyonce. We come out looking like Florida Evans. It was just so stupid, you know, and that was like what I thought was funny,
Starting point is 00:08:14 and I had another joke about getting kicked out the gym for eating ice cream sandwiches, and it was like you can't tell me how to cool down. So that was literally like. Your two jokes that you had. Yeah, boom, boom, and then I said a whole bunch of stuff after that. I would have to watch the tape back because I was so, I think I was like five shots in
Starting point is 00:08:30 because they put me up at the end because all my family was there. So I had to try to hold the crowd. But yeah, I went back the next week sober. You did better? Nope. But I went up and I enjoyed it. So yeah, people saw that I was kind of naturally funny. So they kind of navigated me around the Chicago comedy scene.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Then I met jokes and notes owner, Mary Lindsay. And that was a, yeah. Once you go to jokes and notes and do good, that was like a staple. That's a club. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:56 It was like the only black club in Chicago, but it was a big deal. So all the greats kind of ran through jokes and notes and, um, yeah. So if you could be funny at Jokes and Notes, you were like a big deal. So what made you realize, what was the point you
Starting point is 00:09:10 got to where you realized, okay, I'm actually good? And how long did it take to get to there? Well, actually good, that's subjective. So I knew I was actually funny very early because people after the shows would come tell me. But good, I probably wasn't good until i was
Starting point is 00:09:25 maybe five six years in like good because when i say good i mean like these are good jokes they're well written i'm not just up there you know being loud and funny i was gonna ask that what's the difference between being funny and good because people can be funny by being loud you know people just laugh if you're confident you can just get up there and do a whole bunch of crazy stuff and people will be like, oh, she funny.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Ain't talking about nothing. You know, so I consider good. You can write a great joke. You can write a great bit. You have like signature jokes that people recognize you from. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I was going to ask, you know, what a female comedian, so many female comedians been up here and say it's so difficult, right? It seems like they try
Starting point is 00:10:04 to give them less money. They try to cut their time. Well, they gonna do that. Oh, I ain't never could cuss. When I first got up here. Okay, well, yeah. Censoring myself and shit. Now you feel relieved.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I mean, yeah, but I think that's any field. Men are gonna try to do that. And I think women feel like it's hard. I've never, it ain't never been hard for me because I'm funny. So I didn't have to like, people want to be on the show because they want to be on the show. I never had to get booked because somebody want to,
Starting point is 00:10:34 of course they probably wanted to, but I was the preferred comic. Like we need a funny female. Oh, just needs, just needs. So it's been easy. And people always think female comics aren't funny,
Starting point is 00:10:44 but it's just a numbers game. So it's less of us. So you see us less. So you might see, well, one female comic per show, if that. So if you're not seeing female comics, then it's like, oh, I don't even know no funny female comics. I don't see none. But it's like, no, we out here and I'm funny.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So I've always just been able to jump the line because they always want one bitch on the show. What did you think about Cat Williams going at all the black comedians? Oh, man. That was a time to be alive. It was a good kickoff. I feel like, shit, he spoke his truth, and that's what he wanted to get out, and he did. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:20 I liked it, though, but I don't think it's I don't think it's necessary to well he only addressed the people who addressed him on Club Che Che so I think that's what people were getting away from they think he just picking on people
Starting point is 00:11:32 but he literally only talked about the people that got on there and said something that he disagreed with or thought was there's some people who got shots for
Starting point is 00:11:39 I mean it wasn't all comedians it wasn't all comedians he talked about there's a lot of people that got some strains yeah I thoroughly enjoyed it and It wasn't all comedians. Drive-bys. Oh, yeah. It wasn't all comedians he talked about. There's a lot of people that got some strays. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I thoroughly enjoyed it. And, you know, Cat has been consistent about certain people for a long time. Yeah. Like Kevin Hart. He's been this way before. Yeah. So he's been on that. And I feel like people are used to it. So it's just like, okay, Cat being Cat.
Starting point is 00:12:03 That's how I took it. I mean, I'm i've i've heard cat talk like this before i don't know this ain't the first time so for this one to catch fire the way it did i was like oh okay it was in that jogger suit that's what it was i tell you that now come on leg up on the table come on cat balls everywhere come on put them balls up it's the jar it's tight as hell and leg up that's what i'm like so i think it was a combination but it's a super dope podcast so of course aesthetically shea shea is good shea shea shannon sharp is good and uh yeah and kevin is always gonna be entertaining so it did what it needs to do yeah you just you did speed dating with
Starting point is 00:12:42 kendra g yes well it was like a collab. We got that coming up. Yeah. Oh, it's not out yet? It's not out yet, but you know, she's working on her app for her singles live show.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So it's going to be like a tour. And I told her, I already do a Speed Dating comedy jam. And with you and your platform, we can really get these singles out in every city. And they'll have a better chance of meeting somebody
Starting point is 00:13:03 they can really be with because if you watch the show, them people be, oh, I'm in atlanta y'all could fly you ain't got no money you cannot fly to see no niggas stop and then the wife will fly you out so it's just being a little more realistic and just putting all that together so we can just get out and have a good time it's a super dope show though oh yeah so be on the lookout for the kindred for the tour is that are you really trying to meet somebody? Oh, I found my nigga. Hopefully, this is my last nigga. So, I...
Starting point is 00:13:28 I found my nigga. Yeah. Hopefully, he left. This is my last. I want to be married by 40. Well, where'd you find him at? Well, God sent him to me. We actually met in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And it's going on almost two years now. And I want to be married by 40. So, I got about two months. Two months. So, I'm going to fast track it. Does he know that? He know now. Damn.
Starting point is 00:13:47 He know now. So you never told him? I think he kind of knew. I don't think you got to really be with somebody forever to get married. We can learn about each other as we go. Like, we almost 40. Ain't you tired?
Starting point is 00:13:58 Like, I'm ready to sit down. But does he think you serious, though? Because you're a comedian, too. So some of that's like, she playing too much. No, I think he understands that, you know, it's important for me to just go ahead and we can settle down. The streets was fun. How does a woman know though?
Starting point is 00:14:14 How does a woman know when it's time to hang it up? You just kind of feel it. You kind of just want to be settled. You want to be where you're going to be at. And then right now I think it's the best time for me because, you know, I'm coasting up. I've been doing comedy for 11 years, now I think it's the best time for me because you know I'm coasting up. I've been doing comedy for 11 years
Starting point is 00:14:26 but I think this year is like pivotal. I think this year is really gonna be life changing. So I would rather have somebody be through that phase with me
Starting point is 00:14:33 than I have to find somebody after that because it's like what do you want? You like me or you just know that I'm dope and I'm popping.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Why do you think this is gonna be the year? Because you said this is the year. Yeah like man I just feel it. I know what I got. I got a special coming out.
Starting point is 00:14:49 That's going to change the game. The HR40 movement, that's just important to me just to get the word. So I just see that being a big thing. And then I'm kicking off. We're kicking off our all-female tour again. So the Kendra D stuff. So it's just so much like boom, boom, boom. I'm writing on the Miss Pat show.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Just did a movie with Tyler Perry. So it's like, you just kind of feel it. The female tour is the Funny by Nature tour. Funny by Nature tour, yes. With you, Crystal Powell, Kelly Kells, and Ashima Franklin. Ashima Franklin, yes. I actually put my girl in the building. That's Ashima Franklin. Hey, Ashima.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. Funny as hell. Like all stand-ups, everybody got jokes. It's really like the new Queens comedy, if we're going to call it that. How'd you connect with them? I was just having a conversation with some of the ladies in here, and I said to them verbatim, I said, women hate each other. Yep, they do.
Starting point is 00:15:35 But when you find a group of women that you click with and can get along with and not be catty, because everybody's going to have their disagreements, but it's like we cool enough to get through whatever bouts we have and we can work together but that is hard for a lot of women but we do really well
Starting point is 00:15:50 together and we all funny so it's a dope tour and because people don't five female comics I want to ask y'all this you cannot name nobody you've seen
Starting point is 00:15:57 on Def Jam on Def Jam? no I can no I'm talking about name five but you can't you can't say
Starting point is 00:16:03 Samore, Monique, Adele you can't name people that's been on Def Jam at a gym. What? That's how much I don't know female comics. I know. But I love Samoa, though. Everybody loves Samoa. But she's saying name five that wasn't on Def Jam.
Starting point is 00:16:17 That wasn't on Def Jam. So these new bitches we talking about. Jess Hilarious, Amanda Seals. See, we can name five people that have been up here, so it's a little different. What you mean? Miss Pat, Just Niche,
Starting point is 00:16:29 Tiffany Haddish. I'm serious. These are people that have been up here. Okay. But outside of the people that's been up here, Simone does stand up.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Yeah, I was going to take out the social media comedians too. Y'all was going to be too stuck. I just think about people I see on stage. Yvonne Orgy. These are people I've actually gone to see on stage in comedy clubs. I just want to make sure y'all are up on Female Comics because if y'all don't know about these
Starting point is 00:16:50 four, or y'all know about me now, but then y'all doing yourself a disservice. And there's plenty more female comics that I think I mixed in this little void. They don't have a million followers. They haven't been on Def Jam, but they funny as hell. And then we get the, oh, females ain't even funny. Like, shut up, bitch. You don't even go to shows, you know? So this tour, I think, will just be, like I say,
Starting point is 00:17:11 it's a new Queens of Comedy. We out here, everybody young and fresh. Well, we like 10, 12 years, though, so we not like new comics. But we just, you know. I got to say, Lunell, too. Lunell will see this and be like, how the fuck you ain't on Def Comedy Jam?
Starting point is 00:17:23 Yeah, Lunell did Def Comedy Jam. Lunell did Def Comedy Jam? So that's how the trailblazers, they forever gonna be our favorites. She probably did, I don't know. Def Jam, Comic View, you know the stuff on TV where everybody learn. Comic View, yeah, I'm sure Lunell has done the Comic View or Def Comedy Jam, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:33 For those of us who haven't done Def Jam or Comic View or don't have. The new ones you mean, that's in the, okay, I got what you're saying. So people don't, you know, we get lost in the mix. But yeah, so y'all know for now. Anything off the table, with everybody being canceled so easily now?
Starting point is 00:17:46 Do you say, you know what? I'm going to stay away from this because it seems like everything is so sensitive now. Everything is so sensitive, but people got to get over that. These are jokes. And if we don't fight for that, right, to just speak freely,
Starting point is 00:17:56 then what is comedy going to be in the next five years? We're talking about plants and shit. Nobody want to talk about that. You talk about your troubles, you talk about your life. And how y'all going to tell me how to talk about my story? You know,
Starting point is 00:18:05 so you do have to deliver it away where you're not offending people. But I pretty much am able to say whatever I need to say. And I have, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:13 I talk about abortion, I talk about rape, I talk about, you know, but this is my story. So how are you gonna, you sensitive because of stuff I went through?
Starting point is 00:18:21 Go to bed. You don't need to be a comedy show. So I think if the joke is written well enough, then you can really say whatever you need to say. What is the self-serve selfie comedy jam? Oh, my God. This is my documentary slash comedy special.
Starting point is 00:18:36 So that'll be my first hour I'm filming. And I'm filming it myself. So it's all selfie. I'm doing everything on my phone. So like this the whole? I set my tripod up. Okay. And then I'm facing the camera, so...
Starting point is 00:18:50 Is there an audience? It's very intimate. The audience is behind me, though. So the people who are, like, watching this special, it's, like, a very intimate experience because it's like I'm telling jokes straight to you, whoever's scrolling. But the audience is watching your back.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah, well, yeah. So that's weird for them. They all looking at ass. So I don't know, depending on how you feel. Okay. But that's the idea of the special. And, you know, it's almost like going to be like the Blair Witch Project of comedy specials.
Starting point is 00:19:13 But she's going to be so dope because I got all this BTS too because I take my selfie stick everywhere. And so I got interviews with comics. I got cameos all over the place. So it's a documentary slash comedy special. And the point is, like, Netflix ain't busting down my door to give me a special. No, Amazon Prime. So it's a documentary slash comedy special. And the point is like, Netflix ain't busting down my door to give me a special. No, Amazon Prime. So it's like, I got to do this myself.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I will do it myself. And it's going to be one of the best specials people ever seen because it's going to be so different and it's funny. Did you do it yet? I'm not sure. We are. We filmed the actual real show. So I got all the stuff on my phone,
Starting point is 00:19:40 but we are going to film an actual special in March. So you haven't done it yet? Not the... Have you tried it yet? Because that's going to be a little weird to talk this way to hear jokes from that way.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh yeah, it's hard. So yeah, I do it in every city I go to to practice. So we're going to film an actual one professionally and we're going to
Starting point is 00:19:57 mix it all in. So we're going to mix the real one in with all the bullshit I have. And that's... It's almost like satire because people are going to think oh she really did this
Starting point is 00:20:03 but I did not have a whole camera crew and then you see me doing it myself. So it's going like satire because people are going to think oh she really did this but I did not have a whole like camera crew and then you see me doing it myself so it's going to be dope as fuck and hopefully this changes the way stand up comics
Starting point is 00:20:12 are able to deliver their stand up because social media whooping our ass we're not getting up doing sketches every day we're not doing sketches because that's not our element
Starting point is 00:20:21 and then the ones that try to do it they suck you know so that shit don't even take off. Because you're a stand-up comic, of course you can transition. But your element is stand-up.
Starting point is 00:20:32 So we have to just realign the wheel. We ain't got to reinvent it, but do the shit and make it. But social media is like, damn, this is different. And so I'm hoping once I do it, everybody start doing it, and now stand-up comics can kind of catch up with the social media world because you can do what you do. I love that because, you know, we always talk about how do you make special special.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Oh, yeah. This is going to be the specialist special to ever special. And people know that it's genuine, and I'm really passionate about stand-up comics like Ashima Franklin and Vincent Bryan and Ronnie Jordan and Michi Hall getting the light because they are just too funny for nobody to know about. Ronnie funny as hell. Hello! And he brought y'all some gifts too.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Ronnie Jordan. That's my guy. I ain't seen him in a minute, but salute to Ronnie. Shout out to Ronnie Jordan. So he got y'all some hats and I got y'all some HR40 shirts. But yeah, CP Power, like it's too many. So all of us, and it's no way that we shouldn't be selling out our own shows. We are the funniest out here, but we don't have no big following.
Starting point is 00:21:30 So if we start just doing shit different, I don't have a whole bunch of different visual shit I'm going to start doing with comedy just to make it more appealing for people on social media because that's where the money at. You get a million followers, you booked up the whole year. You know. So, yeah, I'm hoping this be a vehicle for the stand-ups to kind of catch up. But yeah, shit gonna crack.
Starting point is 00:21:48 How would you describe a Just Niche comedy show? Like if I came to a Just Niche comedy show, what should I expect? Or should I have any expectations? You should expect to have an amazing time. Like the Just Niche effect is like real because it's like vibrant. Like I exude like positive energy so even if i'm
Starting point is 00:22:05 talking about something dark i make you feel better about it because i'm just a like i just got a happy vibe about me you know i'm blessed i ain't really no hateness i just you know i don't hate on people but it's like you know i'm a little honest but um it's good. It's very true. It's raw. And it's funny. Like, I write jokes. So I'm just not up there, you know. So you're going to leave like, damn, I never thought of that. That was good.
Starting point is 00:22:33 She was cool. She was fun. She was humble. You know, like, so you're going to leave like, damn, that bitch raw. And, you know, another thing I noticed about people in Chicago now, you know, because I follow Zoe on Instagram. And, you know, I see you with the HR40 shirt. Y'all are very involved with the politics of this city. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Y'all be at city council meetings, everything. Yeah, because they be bugging us over. They bringing all these migrants in, no shade. But we need help too. They like kicking people out of schools, the housing. It's like, come on, y'all. We've had that here too. Yeah, and it's like, where all this money coming from?
Starting point is 00:23:05 Well, y'all can help us. They can't find no money nowhere else but now. Yeah, I'm a migrant, too. You know, like, give me some of that. So it's just like a big old slap in the face. And I think that's why it's really important for black people to get on one accord. Because if we all are fighting for the same issue, because we're so divided. I need this, I need that.
Starting point is 00:23:24 No, we need y'all to get on board so we need some type of reparations states and federally. So, yeah, so that's the movement
Starting point is 00:23:33 and you know, you have to be consistent because people get distracted and it's something that we have to keep doing because they know black people get distracted. One more Chris Sean video,
Starting point is 00:23:43 we off track. It's like, no, focus y'all because we can do this and it will take this generation. It'll be the millennials and who after us? Gen Z? I think it's Gen Z now, I think. We Gen Z? Okay. No, no, we not Gen Z. Okay. I'm 45. I damn
Starting point is 00:23:57 it. I'm at the beginning of the alphabet. Okay, so you kicked it off. That's right. Okay. You was the first millennial. No, I think you right before us. Yeah. You was the last whatever before that was. But we have the time. You know, our ancestors couldn't get reparations.
Starting point is 00:24:12 They trying to live. They just got free. You think I'm going back? You got something for me? Fuck you. I'm not. You can have whatever you got. I'm just trying to, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:19 So they didn't have time to fight for no reparations. Our grandmas and them, they still getting their ass beat. They didn't have time to fight for no reparations. They just wanted to live. I talk about that in regards to mental health all the time. I always say that,
Starting point is 00:24:28 you know, we're the first generation that has the luxury of healing. The generations before us were just trying to survive. And that's, yeah, and that's exactly it. So, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:37 we still have, you know, our issues and barriers, but we can come together and do this. So I think we owe it to them to do it. And it's interesting you brought up the migrant issue because people will hear you say that
Starting point is 00:24:51 and they'll be like, oh, that's a MAGA talking point or that's a Republican talking point. I'm like, no, if you are actually out here talking to people in New York City or Chicago, I've witnessed it over the past year, people are coming up to me, black people, Spanish people, complaining about the migrant issue for the reasons you just said. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:11 They wanted to close down a Chicago Park District where these boys play football. That's the only thing they got. It's already in one of the worst neighborhoods on the west side of Chicago, and they wanted to close that down so they could have, I got stupid. It's like, don't do that so yeah we gotta we just gotta we gotta get together and they're gonna have to deal with you know black people you just have to get on one accord I know we can shut some shit down if we just do it so that'll be what I'm focusing on so I'll be pushing that a lot and it'll be funny too like I say so I have a whole bit about it so it'll be you know
Starting point is 00:25:44 enlightening and funny and when I do that comedy have a whole bit about it so it'll be you know enlightening and funny and when I do it at comedy shows people don't even know what I'm talking about and it's like damn why you know you know I want some reparations too
Starting point is 00:25:50 you know give us a little reparation card something that'll help a little reparation card won't you feel better you a little reparation card
Starting point is 00:25:57 you know until they figure it out you know it'll just increase the morale of the nation cause oh they're giving us something now they owe us
Starting point is 00:26:03 you know a black Escalade a black Escalade hello anything black Escalade, hello? Anything black. A barbecue grill and a Choco and some Grillmaster 12s. Wouldn't you be happy?
Starting point is 00:26:10 She said a reparation car, not car. Oh, car. I thought you said car. That's what you said, black Escalade. Oh, black Escalade. Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Car and card, shit. Give us something. I'll take a black card. You said anything black we should give free. Anything black we get free. Hello? Microphones.
Starting point is 00:26:23 I don't give a fuck. Give it to me because we like free shit. And they can we get free. Hello? Microphones. I don't give a fuck. Give it to me. Yeah. Because we like free shit. And they can start doing that. That's my stuff. They can put a little card, give us a little reparation card, load that bitch up $1,200 a month until they figure it out.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Get a little scrimps. Yeah. A little lobster. And your shit, that's black free. You don't even come off the car. You just swipe it for the regular shit. But see, that's why those STEMIs went so hard. Because if you're a person who
Starting point is 00:26:45 feel like you've never gotten anything from your government ever, like you don't even feel seen and all of a sudden you get a check in the mail
Starting point is 00:26:53 for $1,200, you're like, oh, okay. And he put his name on it. And Biden sent out stimulus checks too, but he didn't put his name on it.
Starting point is 00:26:59 He should put his name on it. Put your name on it. That's why I was like, Trump really give us the reparations because
Starting point is 00:27:03 he just be wiling. But yeah, we got to ask, but we have to on it. That's why I was like, Trump don't really give us the reverence because he just be wiling. But yeah, we got to ask, but we have to demand it. And if we don't get it, we have to shut shit down. And we can shut, the black dollar so strong.
Starting point is 00:27:14 You think we can't shut shit down? We have a blackout day. But to have a blackout day, everybody has to know about the blackout day. So it has to be a thing. Hey, we're going to see what they do. January 6th, all the motherfuckers went to the White House. Yeah,uary 6 black people we shutting this bitch down we're not doing
Starting point is 00:27:28 we ain't going to work we ain't well some people might have it but you know but it really has to be a or we'll just focus on one thing boycott this boycott that we can we can we can do it so like i say we got the time and like i just want to spread awareness the page i started the hr 40 page it's like hr 40 moving to ig people can just send all type of ideas on how you know how we can get stuff done and get this going i wanted to ask you in hip-hop you know you see all these young women i mean you still got the ogs around but a lot of these young women are like running and running the game right do you feel like it's becoming that way in comedy yep Yep. Because I think it's
Starting point is 00:28:06 I feel like half and half. Some of the funniest comics I know are all female. And then you got your guys who do good, but a lot of these niggas suck too. You know, people are like, females ain't funny. No! These niggas ain't funny. You just see more of them. So if you see 10 dudes and two women and one of the women
Starting point is 00:28:23 wasn't funny, people are like, oh, women ain't funny. Shut up. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I think we are kind of taking away, I don't know, like so many motherfuckers doing their thing. Like say the Funny by Nature tour, everybody in that group is doing their thing. Crystal is out in Vegas doing Magic Mike. Ashima just got a Netflix deal. Kelly Kells just did a movie. You know, so we dope. And it's just time for people to see us.
