I've never seen somebody put their ads in their box. Hey, bro.

I don't know. I started it just put shit in there. I was hoping some shit was going to lick. May something work, nigga, I ain't know. Andre is here. Salute to my guys. Shokes is here. How was your week?

How was your week shows? Nile was here, too. NYLA. I didn't know if Nile was on the show and she was just picking it. I hear me eat in the Portland. Oh. I love Nile on the pot because Nile

doesn't stop doing whatever she was planning on doing that day. Like if Nile has a phone call, she just takes her phone call. you're going to eat her Chipotle burrito. She's knitting. She's knitting. Yeah, yeah. Everything, but... And then when we ask her a question, she acts like, oh, oh, did you want me to talk on the pot?

You're on camera. Like, everybody's seeing everything that's going on. That is very true. I had a good week, man. Good week. You want to know something funny? I had a good week. So I was out in L.A. I was telling you I was filming a new white man can't jump movie. Oh, you're allowed to announce that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because...

One time, Andrew Shulton, White Man Can't Jump. And... I heard that. I heard that. Because I'll tell you later. Well, tell me. Huh? Because there's a funny story about it. Which one?

All right. You tell me one. No, no, no. It's just, go ahead. Go ahead. So the guy who's directing at Calmatic is a brilliant guy, and he almost didn't cast me for the movie. Why? And I was like, why?

And he was like, well, you were on Brilliant Idiots, and I'm a big fan of Brilliant Idiots, and you told people, don't ever cast me for a movie. Remember? Remember after the Eddie Murphy shit? I remember I was like PTSD out. I was like, bro, I'm a horrible actor. Don't ever cast me. That's why you got to remain fluid. Just tell people you fluid.

I'm fluid, bro. Everything's fluid. I identify as Thespian. There you go. No, that's real, though. That's real. Yeah, yeah. I don't think they know what the Thesbian is.

Exactly. You don't know what the Thesbian is? No, they don't. I know what they do. Are you calling M. No. No. Nal, I didn't know what the Thespian was.

Nali, you don't know what the Thespian is? Well, what do you think it is based on what it sounds like? If you're fluid, based on the time of time. That's crazy that you're the youngest person in this room. You're supposed to have all the definitions of all this new shit. You don't know what a thesbian is. Dreda, you know what the thesbian is? Actor, right?

Actor, actress. There you go. Yeah. Yes. Crazy. See you too woke. Take a nap. You do everything.

That's why woke people need a nap right there. You say you do everything. I told you pansexual. He said fluid. No, you said fluid. Yes, I mean, I meant fluid as in like, go with the flow. That's right. You know, that shit ride.

Nothing we say here is concrete. Be water. We all adapt. Be water. Bruce Lee. Also, even fluid is new for us. Fluid is absolutely. Definition-wise.

I don't even know what that shit really means. But when we were younger and there was like somebody who's sexually fluid, you're like, well, yeah, clean it up. Like, we're like more. So what's good? So what happened with the movie? It was great, man. It's done, y'all already finished you?

I finished my part. You shot with Jack? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My season is with Jack. I'm like, I'm like hustling, but I'm selling drugs to him and shit like that. So you got a role, like you're in it for a while? I got a few scenes in it. Wow.

So you're on Jack's like team? I'm basically selling drugs to him. I'm like selling like pain pills to him at the gym. You don't play ball at all? No, no, no. But you know what I was thinking about like how dope? They bring a hezio. Nah, they don't want that.

But I was thinking about how dope. like the diversity initiative in Hollywood is because like now white people we get all the cool roles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you guys got to play the squares. You gotta be serious and being dignified. And I'm out here like selling pills and shit

like this fire being oppressed. So listen, for years you've been trying to get lawyers. This is going to make white people cool again, damn. For real. That might be true though

because it's just like a normalization process, right? Yeah, you guys get to be the squares And then we get to be the cool guys. And then we got across the street when we see you. You should. That's what it is. We got to flip it. Ooh.

100%. So did you have to do any basketball training for the role? Because when I spoke to Jack, Jack said that they had athletes training him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was actually doing training like every day. Like with real NBA players, real people we know? This dude, he had like a specific guy who was like coaching him and also like doing all like the scenes. And he had done it for other, I think, movies and two.

I forgot the guy's name, but good dude. and he'd play ball overseas and he was just like a real hooper. And so you had to go out there and show him your natural born-heas and skills. I mean, in between, you know, in between shots, I might have been putting up a couple,

you know, letting people know what time. This is that easy, you know what I mean? So is it stereotypical? I haven't seen, I mean, I haven't seen, I mean, I haven't, you know, it's fire. This guy,

the guy who wrote a Doug Bell is, and you know me, I'm not just saying, because I'll come back from a movie with A. Murphy and be like, man, fuck this. It ain't me.

You know what? Can you wait until the movie come out? There's things called edits. Yeah, you're right, you're right. That's what I'm hoping. I'm like, I was saved. No, no, but I read the whole fucking script on the flight over. And this guy, Doug Bell, this guy who wrote it, and it was fucking beautiful.

And it was like, it was, yeah, it was like, you know, I always get, you know, choked up with the father's son kind of stuff. But, like, it's not a remake of the same plot of the first one. You know what I mean? It's different characters. It's just kind of, like, inspired by it. and it was just like a beautiful story, man. Yeah, I don't even know.

The reason I was hesitant about white men can't jump is because I don't even know if that stereotype still holds up. Well, they play into that. Really? What I liked about the movie is it gets to talk about race relations without it being the forefront of the conversation.

Like so often when we want to talk about race, like we just go, hey, here's a race discussion. This is about basketball. But when it comes to ball, there's going to be discussion. about race, but it's second. And then you actually are more honest because the race thing is,

I think we're, I don't know about y'all, but I think we're almost all exhausted, like, are we going to make every single discussion about everything? Somebody said obesity is racist this week. What? Come on. I asked somebody to say that to me on Twitter saying, obese is a slur.

And I'm like, no, it's not. It's in the dictionary. It's a description. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got way better slurs. For fact, come on. I'm never going to stop doing that. I'm sorry. Y'all got to just can't see.

Fact, come on. Because we talked about this on the podcast before I actually believed our first ever brilliant idiots was the star shame. Enterprise. Yeah. With our sister jazz flag, God bless the day. And we were having conversations about how some forms of shame are good. Good. How else do you tell somebody they need to lose weight?

You got to tell them. You got to tell them. Some sorts of same as necessary. It gets people out they bullshit. Yes. And who's harsher than the doctor? When the doctor says, you're going to die. Yeah, that's shame, bro.

If you're obese. L.G. L.G.T.Q. Plus, I thought the plus was them. Was fat people, bro. And I was like, my boys told me, it's because there could be more things. And I was like, fat people are not about to be gay now.

You can't be. That's actually, I can see. I would, I would own that if I was them. If I was them, I would own that. We are the plus. Yeah. We're the plus. Because that's, that's, that's,

protection. Yeah. Now you can, you see how you hesitated before you said something? What I do. What I do. You hesitated

before you even said with your thoughts on that. Well, that was maybe because I thought you all think I was stupid for assuming a plus was that. I didn't,

I don't know what the pluses. But it didn't have fun of that gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, obese, fat. Yeah.

So wild group. But you're like all the parties at the club that week? The wild thing about being obese, though,

it's subjective because you got some some people who big and they love being big and they own it. Loving it and owning it has nothing to do with the thing. Break that down.

Yeah, like you can love and own you because that's you, but you can still try to manipulate or change your body or, like, try to get healthier. Like, loving yourself don't got to mean fuck it. Also, a lot of people take love in it to being fucking. I'm not trying no more. Imagine how much more you love yourself. It's like, I love the Knicks. And if they won.

You'll love me. Right. If you're fucking loving me, you're like, I got a hat. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, maybe the best ever. Like, so if you're big and you're confident, when you get thin, nobody can stop you.

Because you're still confident. It shouldn't matter on whether you're big or small. Confident is confidence. You found a love inside. Absolutely. And now you have the outside to match it. Absolutely. The crazy thing about being big, though, and I say this all the time,

there's not, there's going to be a point in your life where your doctor says you have to lose weight. Yes. That's it. Yes. Bottom line point, period. So yes, you can, you should love yourself. You should embrace who you are.

But at some point, the doctor's going to be like, eh, you might want to lose weight your cholesterol is a little high. All right, let me ask you this, though. Mm-hmm. We just came out of COVID. Yes. Comorbidity number one is obesity.

That's number one. Yeah. Like, not even age is just obesity. That's the only reason they're hearing the word so much. That's probably why I saw offensive to them now. I'm serious. I'm serious. You're right.

You're right. So now, do you think it is dangerous of Sports Illustrated? coming right out of a pandemic that just kills fat people to put a plus size girl on the cover as if this is the standard. And she's beautiful. Don't get me wrong. Like you look at her face, she's beautiful. But

as if this is something that should be rewarded. It depends, I think. I'm saying, like, if it's plus size, but it's a person that's making the efforts, you know what I'm saying? No, but if you're a plus size model, like the effort is to stay plus size. But you're not even changing. They're trying. I'm going to say, I'm like certain people are just built like that. And I think we're in a generation.

And also I think we're in a generation. You ever see a fat skeleton? Norms are different now. But there's like, there's other things that contributes to like how a person's going to carry their weight. There's like hormonal differences.

Okay, you got a thyroid issue or something. True. And also plus size and obese aren't the same thing. Facts. Like plus size is, plus size, obese is my 600 pound life. Yeah. Don't quote me on any of this because I'm not an expert.

Yeah, we don't know. I feel like my 600-pound life is obese. I think the terms, too, is carried by, like, the attraction level people have. If she a big girl, but she hot, you call a plus size. If she obese, is she a big size. We don't say plus size. A thick or something sick. A plus size I heard from magazines.

Because some of these women that, y'all think, a plus size. They just be thick. You take them down south. Yo, who is that? That's juice, frame. You know what I'm saying? Jamaican nigger see that be like a fluffing out. It's just nice, bro.

It's different. That's real, though. All these terms I didn't learn until I saw to see any shit recently. That's what I'm saying. By the way, I haven't not seen the sports that was created a cover, so I don't even know who you're talking about right now.

True. But I know there's a difference between plus size and obese. That's why I think this shit gets treated. And that's just industry shit. You said Jamaicans love thicker women, down south love thicker women. Y'all can't handle no thick, bro.

You can't handle those thick. You're right. What's that right there? No, that's just another thick. She's thick. There's another one. Thick, thick, thick, thick, thick, thick. Hold on one second.

No. I'm not going to lie. I feel like it's thick. Um, then... This is like categories. This category is thick, then it's plus size. And then it's obese. Yeah.

Obese is like, if you get mad at steps, like, you, you, like, regular life shit is starting to impede you. That's true. You know what I got to see them. You walk them out. It's some type of like apparatus that helps you take your shoes off without bending down or lifting your foot up. And I'm like, that's just some sad, lazy shit. Yeah. That's, that's, when you get to that point where you can't take your shoes off.

Shout out to the thick. I do, I do look at fat, obese people, whatever the term is. I look at bigger people now with more concerned than anything, though. Because, you know, we all got, we might have home boys. That's a little big. I don't. You know? Not because we all know

Everybody knows It's just like smoking cigarettes We know I don't want you to I want him to be here We all make they be Everybody making any choices Like yeah

You can tell a motherfucker To yo come work out with me They're gonna say fuck you nigga I'm not no I don't even say Like that like that Like I don't know You say go get the surgery

I think it's surgery Certain people that you know that you love That you know a little heavyset You see him in the gym You like bro Get the surgery And then no workout Yeah

Because you got a lot. You know what I'm saying? No, I mean, you got a lot. You know, especially if you're getting money. If you get money, just go ahead and get to surgery because you want to live. You want to be here. They got to do the lifestyle changes. They ain't just the surgery.

Just the surgery ain't going to last until you, you know. Yeah, you're going to put it right back on. Yeah, it's the way you doing shit that you got to alter. But shout out to all those beautiful thicks out there. Yeah, all that thick women, all the thick men. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you know what's so crazy. that y'all just added, you know, obese people to the list of folks that want to take comedians out, bro.

Wait, what you mean? Like, y'all don't think y'all should be adding to anyone. I'm not mad at nobody that's big. If somebody was going to rush the stage, you would like it to be some thick, right? Because you'd see them fee five folk fuming down the aisle. It's going to take a minute. Yeah, exactly. You see the offensive line, and the offensive line moves fast.

But they're not thick. Bro. What are they? Plus size. They plus. They plus, bro. That's not plus, bro. That's different.

That's different. Listen, Dave Chappelle, right? Yeah, the guy Isaiah Lee. He says he committed the crime that he committed, rushing the stage because he's bisexual and he was triggered by Dave Chappelle's joke. And he said that I guess he was molested when he was younger too. So he got triggered by Dave Chappelle's pedophile jokes as well. Have a question for you two comedians. And it's a legal question.

Should this be considered a hate crime? Yeah, it's a hate crime. It's a hate crime, right? Hold on whose part? The guy. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Fucking, some of the joke. Now, why is it a hate crime?

I think it's a hate crime because it's premeditated, right? And you hate the things that come out of my mouth, which were the jokes, and you targeted a group. Oh, you're targeting conformers. Okay, then it's a hate crime. It's a hate crime against comedians for sure. But even if it's rooted, if it's rooted in hate, I think it should be considered the hate crime.

To me, that's rooted in hate. You didn't like his jokes. You felt triggered by his jokes, which I understand, but just because you feel triggered, don't mean you can react on your trigger. with violence. You know what I mean? If it was the other way around I didn't...

I don't understand that shit. That whole triggered, like, why just your feeling special? Well, I don't know if it's just his. I just think he acted on. What the, like... The amount of fuckery jokes I hear all the time

from all kinds of people. I feel like, I let it rock. I'm gonna just snuck this nigga now. Like, why the fuck just your feelings? Everybody got different triggers, though. Fuck them. What are your tricks? I don't be knowing until I hear them.

And then when I am, I'm like, that's really positive. What is something like a joke you heard about you where you're like, ah, fuck, man. I heard a dad joke once. Yeah. It was like some, you know, dead dad joke. And I was like, aye. Oh, your father passed? Yeah.

And I was like, aye. See, that's rough drink. But I just held. I was like, aye. They made it to you directly? Yeah, yeah. They had the joke shouted out and me. I'm like, aye, why?

But what am I do, haul off and just hit this. The last was day? Yeah. Yes. You had every right. It wasn't a roast. You were not. It wasn't a dossier.

No, no. Was it on stage? No. He was just in front of, someone wanted to hurt you bad. Yeah, just roost, just joking and that's what they shot off with. That's justifiable.

If you know my dad was deceased and you still let a dead dad joke rip? What joke did you say to him where he had to go to that well? It's a word he's born. That's a great point. I don't even, I don't even remember. You must have cut him. him deep, right. Yeah. Probably not.

Yeah. Probably not. Do I know? Do I know? No. Some people just... Are they a comic? No.

Who the fuck is this guy? This is just some thing in the hood. Oh, this is fucking crazy. This guy's fucking insane, dude. You remember the joke? No, it was just some... It was some shit, like, dead dad. I don't even remember the joke.

I just, like, I guess I shut it out or some shit. Yeah. I just looked. I'm like, I think, whatever. That's the trigger. And then I just let it. That was a trigger. But that's the thing, though.

I'm triggered. Now what? Whatever you want it to be? But that's the thing. Some other shit going to come from me. You just say some wild shit about him. He's in your court. Like, you're doing comedy?

How low is the goddamn limbo bar? Can you go lower than that? Yes, you can go on. You go on the ground. You go on the ground. We're talking about dead people. We're going underground. Right?

You go under that, mother. Go to hell. But I'm a maniac with that. Like, if I feel like someone's crossed the line, like I just, it's, I go nuclear. I go nuclear. Oh, those your parents, you know. Back in the day, you used to say your mama.

Your mama. Why, I don't know. But we usually would be like, your mama. Facts. My mama day, you're like, oh. You know, that. But it's the truth. But it's the truth.

It's like, oh. Now you got to apologize. It's you make everything uncomfortable. I'm thinking of the last thing that triggered me. Last thing, I got triggered another day on social media. What happened? Because Van tweeted. Oh, boy.

All he tweeted was, at least I'm not short. Oh, shit. And there was no context to it. And nothing. And the whole... And you just took that to yourself. And, you know what's so funny? Duvall sent it to me, right?

A whole short community. And it kept my heart, said. Too short hit us up. And Duval hit me up. And Duval hit me up. I probably shouldn't be saying it. Yeah. Say it.

Yeah. Say it. he ain't even got no holes and you told for no reason I'm like well he's engaged I'm defending bad I'm trying not to act trick it

but then I'm like Why the fuck would you just tweet that you? At least I'm not sure I'm like why would you do that? Yeah yeah yeah Now sometimes social media would get you bro

and your feelings it's like a weird day you know Yeah and that's not even something I think about I just want to know why are we on your mind I knew what it felt like to be a marginalized person.

I mean, I already do, but I really felt like that in that moment. Like, why are you shooting that short people for no reason? Yeah. You know? Yeah. He feels like he's better than you, bro. He's like one of them poor whites is racist. You know what I'm not?

At least I'm not black. That's what he did, bro. That's what he did, man. He's in a trailer park and shit. Yeah. One of the capitalized. getting arrested, getting out of least I'm not black. But no reason.

You're sitting at 30 years. You just look at the camera. At least I'm not black. Jesus Christ, man. But I do think that's a hate crime. I think Isaiah Lee should be charged with a hate crime. And I'm shocked at. What about Van?

Do you think it should be that's hate speech? Ha ha, hate speech. That was hate speech. Should we get them off Twitter? Should we talk to Elon about that? Does Elon really on Twitter? Not yet. That might be cap, bro.

I don't think he wanted it. I never thought it was a good purchase to begin with. Twitter don't even have like Twitter's not even like a top 15 social media app when it comes to user base user base what you mean it's like they have the least user base of like

15 other I don't know user bases number of people on it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so it's like in the 300 million range and what's hard what the fuck but how many people around the world can like say what they feel you know what I mean like Twitter and Saudi Arabia isn't lit right it's just like yo the prince was doing cool shit again.

You can't like gross people. Yeah, like, oh, so much oil came out today. Thank you. Right, though? Can you really say what you want? In America? Yes. Van just called you and your whole tribe of people, your little Keebler-Elf community.

He called you and all the people that live in the tree with you. He useless, bro. That's what he said. At least I'm not sure. He said that. By the way, I wouldn't have minded the tweet with some context

who the fuck you're shooting that? No ad no nothing It's because people Probably coming at him Who? Sure people Did he gain weight or something? Who, man?

Yeah And the amount of times You made fun of fat people, bro. That's a book promo. Yeah, the amount of times you made fun of fat people, bro. That's a book problem. Come on.

You're a savage. No, it's called fat crazy in time. Yes, it is. It is always working. and he's got the sweatsuits on. And this motherfucker is always like, yo, they got to put the music. Is y'all flipping the bus wearing it?

Yo, yo, yo, you're trying, he said put the missy, misdemeanor out again. Come on, bro. Man sent out a, he sent out a video from the group chat, of him boxing to the group chat, right? Oh, shit. And he said it like, it was me, glasses below in the head. And I go, yo, I go, yo, you got to take your shirt off,

though, show the back fat. Tizing shirt. And then immediately on Twitter. At least saying, I'm sorry. Man. Oh my God. Listen, Walmart discontinued the June team

Great Value ice cream. Drey, I know you're going to get you a gallon. No, I'm not going to put it. I've seen the Juneteenth fucking commodity fuck. I'm not going to be a fucking joke that I put out last year.

Okay. About how it's going to be a, there's going to be June team discounts soon. Oh yeah. And three fists off, everything. And they literally

three fists off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's just, yeah. Go on, bro. Go on, bro.

So, so, but, but, and then this year they fucking do it. What did we think was going happen in America? That's course. Everything. Every holiday or, event tragedy or not, there's going to be a sale attached to it.

We need to talk about this, man. And the reason we need to talk about this is because do you want it to be a holiday or not? Hold on. Isn't June team, shouldn't June team be like about freedom? No, the end of sale. They should be giving shit away. They should be giving shit away. That's a good fucking point.

About selling anything. Like, we don't sell today. Anybody, let's pull up and get that shit free. So low key, if you really want to celebrate June team, you got to not. sell anything in your store that day. Or give a discount. A real discount, like free. No, it got to be free.

Buy black, get one free or something like that. What? Yeah. What? No, I'm serious. Anything black? Yes. You just get one free with a shirt.

You know, anything that's the color black speakers. There it is. You can roll these tires above the Mason Dixon line. It's yours. I'm serious. I just feel like what did we expect? What did we expect? What I'm saying?

What? It's a holiday now. There's not a holiday in America that is not monetized. No matter what it is. No matter what it is. How fucked up. Who got shot? Who died?

This is a tragedy or not. They're going to find a way to make some money off of it. I don't know who sells the single demaial stuff. There's going to be 15% off somewhere. No matter what it is. That's 50% offcoming. That means a lot to us. 15%.

Any any discount, motherfuckers will pull up. Regardless. Yeah, it's so true. America won a sale, nigga. We love that. So how could you monetize June 10? stuff without offending. Without being hacked,

I don't think so. I don't think you monetize it. Well, Juneteeth is the end of slavery, right? Yes. That's when this is the official end, right? No. It was like a day of freedom in Texas, but all black people just celebrate it. No, but it's based off the day of freedom is based off

of freeing of slaves. It was specifically for Texas, though. But they were celebrating the freeing of slaves. It's not the end of slavery. emancipation proclamation. This is, it's not the date of the emancipation proclamation. It's the date that slavery is officially outlawed the United States.

They commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African-American. June 18th, 1865. June 18th. June 19th, 18th, 18th, 18th. Okay. Or 19th, 18th. Yes, 18 for 19th, one of them. I think it varies. But June 18th.

No, it's the 19th. It's the 19th. No, it's the 19th. It's 19th. Okay. So, so it's not just the day in Texas, Nilo. And wasn't there some shit about like they lied and that was the wrong date? Like, niggas was free earlier and then they told them later some shit like that. Well, in 1863, Lincoln goes, yo, slavery's over. They ain't tell nobody black.

Well, no, but he did it. Okay, so the north and the south are beefing, right? The north slavery's already over. So then he says, yo, slavery's over everywhere. And the south is like, we're our own country. You can't tell us what to do. Right? Yeah.

The origins. Hold on one second because it's cross talk. if we're both talking at the same time, you know what I'm saying? You've been doing that the whole podcast. Literally. You're going to let a white man over-talking about June team? Wow. Wow, Nailteam. Wow.

Wow. I mean, what I had to say, I was showing you on the phone, but you were over- Were you right? No, no, no. Over-talking means like if we're talking, if you guys are having a combo while we're having a combo. You were doing that earlier as well over Drake telling the story to Charlemagne about some sneakers or some shit. You was over-talking. No, no, no.

I don't like when people... I don't like you, T.K. K. Kirk then come on here and make all these rules about podcasts. Listen, listen. What I'm trying to say, okay, over-talking is maybe, I use the wrong word, but if two different... Cross-talking. Yeah, cross-talking. Two different conversations have... Over-talking is what we do on this podcast.

Okay. What's what we do for a living, so do that. But if you guys are having a separate conversation, then it's hard for the listeners. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, if we're talking about the same thing, we can overtalk. Yes, please. But cross-talk.

Like, it's like, we're... talking about this and you start talking about Gatorade. Exactly, I think. Back to June team, our favorite day. And it just makes it that much more heightened, doesn't it? So yeah, so they were basically like, yo, slavery's outlawed. And then the South was like, what are you talking about? We're our own country.

And then 1865, when they, you know, got their ass kicked, then they're like, all right, fine. We're going to. Exactly. When I was saying June team was originally celebrated in Texas on June 19, 1866, but that was the first anniversary of. of the day that African Americans there first learned of the Emancipation Proctorment.

So that just happened to be the area that they found out first. Two years after it was initially issued, they got the memo late for whatever reason. I didn't say. I didn't say, but what the hell of the information? Texas is a big state. Yes, yeah.

It's hard to get information to spread, you know, to everybody back then. Why, it took two years. Yeah. I think that if any, if people were smart, what they should have done for Juneteenth. They should have just collaborated with, like, black-owned brands and black-owned products. The only problem I have is I didn't even know they had great value Juneteenth ice cream.

And this goes back to something I said years ago. It's just like, why do we always lift shit up with hate? You know what I mean? We always talk about the things we don't like so much. Who owns ice cream that is actually black-owned? I saw Jasmine Brand post the day. I can't even remember their name. I just saw that they posted it to say, hey, you know, if you're looking for some ice cream to actually support, support this ice cream and it's a black-owned brand.

See if you can find that. They'll go directly to the people. That's what I'm saying. Maybe that's all it is. Just partner with black people on how to do these things. Because it's not like I don't want June teeth decorations. Shit, that's what you think of like. Do you want that though?

I'm just like. If I'm celebrating June team. Is it, I'm going to celebrate. It's just such an odd. Sneak of people, they be doing a, like, when February roll around, black hair three months sneakers come out. Black hair three months sneakers come out. The second they come out, they got niggas with the fist on your Jordan.

I was literally thinking about that day. I was like, okay, so they're mad about the Great Value Ice Cream. I guess I can understand why, but what about Black History Month? They do mad, like, shit you go pay bowling. They put black history shit on it. This is why you need BT, yeah. And the reason I say this is why you need BT because this is what you used to see all of Black History Month commercials.

Okay, right, right. What are celebratory things? Right? July 4th is a celebration because you like won your independence. What are other things? I mean, shit. Like Thanksgiving. Yeah, like Thanksgiving. Yeah.

Yeah, like I don't know. For me, like, how do we celebrate? Hold on. A lot of cross talk. That's a train wreck right there just in the middle of the podcast just here. Oh, hood green. Oh, dairy free? Okay.

In New Orleans? Oh, these are black-owned brains? Ice cream? Oh, shit. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, go ahead. Okay, what about if it's not about celebrating brands? What if it's about celebrating cultural contributions?

Because when I think of, like, the holidays we all get to participate in, like, you think of, like, St. Patty's Day. It ain't just Irish people doing that, or even Cinco de Mayo. So it's like, black people love people. Black people have so much cultural, like, relevance and contributions. Why don't we just market holidays? around those things. All we want is a day off and some drinks and some good food.

Why are we acting like we're really attached to any of these. I mean, don't get me wrong. If you're black kids, then it's fire because then... Go, go, go. A lot of these holidays, we really shouldn't be celebrating anyway. Because they're just bullshit fucking marketing place.

They're just really not in favor of us. Thanksgiving, why are we celebrating things? Because it's food and drinks. We know the history of Thanksgiving. We're just happy to have the day off there. Happy to have some food. Thank you. DeMio, I don't know what single demayo means other than this Mexican.

I don't know what I mean. But I'm going to eat me some tacos and drink me some tequila because I love tacos and tequila. But it also offers you this opportunity of a small window where you get to kind of like embrace. It's an excuse to a different culture. Yes. Yeah. And it's like, I don't know. Why don't we take these cool cultural contributions that black people have made to America and that are part of like the fabric that is America and then build holidays around that.

So that we're not constantly celebrating black trauma. It's like Juneteenth is more. Black trauma. Everything is black trauma. But Thanksgiving is Native American trauma. It's fucking not really. No, we were eating, bro. After that, it was traumatic.

No, they ate with us. They taught us how to eat the shit. Corn? You know, white people didn't know what corn was. But then they took them out. That's later, dog. We're not celebrating later. Don't talk about that.

Yeah, why we got to bring that up? Why do you all bring up old shit? Because Native Americans hate things. Says who? Native Americans. I never spoke to a Native America. All the time. No, you have one on the podcast.

Who could be thinking about? That's cat, right? That's cat. I need your papers. I need to see your papers, salute to my guy, Giassi, salute to Queen, your Nasta.

I rock with the Native Americans, man. No, no, I focus on Native Americans. I'm just trying to say, like, it'd be cool if we celebrate things that everybody's excited about and proud of. As a country.

Yeah, like Marty Gross fire, right? Because the whole city gets involved, you get to tap into this culture. What's the history behind Martinville? I have no idea. I got no clue. I bet you could do. I got no clue.

I bet you we could dig and find something that be like, oh, this is fucked up shit. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what Mardi Gras. But I'm, yeah. But I imagine it's like this amalgamation on a culture, say what? You want to phone a fat friend and that man? You know, Ben. Phone of fat friend.

You know what is Marty Groh. Yeah, call, call. Nala, why do you keep knocking over the camera? No, it's whenever you hit the table. I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that. I won't hit the table. Hold on. Let's go.

Oh, the thing you. Yeah. Don't tell Van that we said phone and fat from. I'm going to get the tweets later in the podcast. That's such a good second. Why is everybody saying this? Phone of family. Yo, Van.

Hold on, you on the podcast. I got Andrew and Andre. I don't know if you ever met Andre. Listen, what's the history of Mardi Gras real quick? Does it sound like you were working out? Oh, no. Yeah, I'll just finish boxing. What's the history of Mardi Gras?

Yeah. It's a religious situation. Like, celebrating. It's like a celebration before Lent. Here in America, like it's basically a Catholic tradition. Here in America, first Marty Braille was actually not in the world.

It was in Mobile, Alabama. And then New Orleans, because of the French influence, the Haitian influence, and the Spanish influence, became probably the biggest one. But it moves around with the Christian Catholic calendar.

Okay. So, a big celebration before Lent. So what we're saying is basically would, basically with most holidays, you probably could find something that you don't agree with

to not celebrate it. What if I'm boycotting Catholic priests? Well, I mean, the reality is you don't even need boycott Catholic priests to boycott Martyrgyrath Catholic Church deep deep deep in the same trade.

And a lot of culture that exists in New Orleans right now due to the influx of slaves that came to the Port of New Orleans. So if you were like fuck slavery, you would not have to celebrate

like you don't even need the fact that the priest are fucking little boys now there's myriad reasons you can decide that bartergras something that you will want to celebrate see to your point sure yeah see that's some shit that's supposed to be some hot shit get back to the work I'll hit you back that's why you gotta have a fat friend

you know what I'm saying that's why you're clowning him for not moving around but he's reading books. That's why he's stationary like that. Listen, I didn't know they had all these ice cream. Hood cream, York Castle, ice cream company, ruby scoops, ice cream and sweets, goodies, frozen, cut.

Oh, they got to do menthol and chip. If they wanted to do an ice cream, they should have collaborated with one of those companies. Nobody would have had a problem with it. And why would you have ice cream for Juneteef, knowing how many black people are lactose and tolerance. Yeah, it just doesn't make sense. Like celebrate contributions, dude.

That'd be fire. But they got to like admit love and admiration for what black people gave to the country. No, they don't. No, they don't. That's what I'm saying. I think that's what's missing, which is why they don't have those types of celebrations. But when the celebration is so fire, you just want to take part of it. That FOMO kicks in.

Like, nobody is admitting love and admiration for single de Mayo, but they're like, I need to be part of this shit. It's fire. Same thing with St. Paddy's Day. Same thing with Christmas. Like, I think y'all are both saying the same things, right? Because I think we need new holidays and new tradition. Because clearly there's so much, you know, negative stigma and things we don't know about attached to a lot of things.

I didn't know how to go to my idea. So with Dre is saying like, yo, let's start celebrating the contributions of black people made. Like that would be dope if we created a new tradition. But everybody's celebrating. But people are like, like, peanut butter. Yo, people ain't going to jump on peanut butter? He's like a major botanist, but they don't even bring that shit up. It's just peanut butter.

They just talking about peanut butter. You think you can make peanut butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like a marvellous character. Yeah, yeah. He's ridiculous. Like, yo, National Hip Hop Day would rip. That should be a thing.

And we celebrated hip hop in all hip hop's contribution to American and world culture. Fashion music. Who is up? Hipop's birthday. It's like August 13th or something like that. Let's celebrate it. That'd be a big day. They have like jazz fest and like jazz week and a bunch of different parts of the world, right?

Yeah. And clearly this is black cultural influence, right? Yes. And it's a dope festival. I think they do it up in Montreal. I think they have another one down in New Orleans. They do, right? So it's like people are already doing it.

It just really takes a little bit more organization and going, hey, this is really important to why America is the way it is. But it needs like a coach, like an overall appreciation for it. It needs Walmart to go, yo, we go start selling it. You know, weirdly, yeah. That's the fuck them. Sell the piñatas, bro. What if we just did a National Day of Unity?

Nobody going to do that. That's what. I hear you, I feel you, but they're not riding with that. I said it's wild gay right there, bro. Look at the same. Where you're forced to go across the aisle. I feel you. You know what I mean?

Where you're forced to kick it with somebody from another political party, another religion, another race. Like, you have to go do a name. Cultural Exchange Day. What is Dr. Rumor-R-March on? We had that in college. Dr. Ler-Exchange Day. At St. John's, yeah.

So it would be like booths where you can have, like, Asian food. You can have, like, African food. That's dope. They do that? Where? At St. John's. See what I'm saying? No, that's cool.

And they do that probably just for camaraderie on campus, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why can't we do that in the world? Because, by the way, we do it anyway. We're already going to the Chinese restaurant to eat. Why not going there and kick it with them? You know what I mean? Let them come to this old food spot, whatever.

Like, why not? You know, I think they got to want to go. That feels like a trap, right? You said, like, they would have to want it, too. Like, it would have to be a mutual thing. Cultural and say. But sometimes you think of the Chinese restaurant, I remember, like, growing up, going to the Chinese restaurant, and you trying to be like, let me be friendly. Let me try to be, shit.

I've learned how, I watched certain shit. I learned how to say thank you. Let me try to say thank you in Mandarin. I do it. And they like, don't give a fuck. Yeah. They just, friendly. Yeah.

What do you want, nigga? That's the end of it. I like that name you came up with, the cultural exchange date. Like, that's, because that's kind of what we want. Yeah. To be like, all right, this is what you fuck with. It's hard to market. And people would have.

have to be optimistic and respectable to each other. A lot of people aren't. I should. Because you got to have that curiosity to even want to be like, what you people, which I can't wait. I can't wait for that booth. Because what I would do is I just would have nothing in my booth

and I would just go around to everybody else's booths. And I take one of each of their things. And then I would go back to. That's fire, dude. We said, white culture's the best. We still. Yeah.

That's so sick. We got to come to a happy medium because we can't get mad when somebody, when it's a Juneteenth holiday coming up, and people have June team products. You know what I mean? And you can't get mad every time you see a black man with a white woman or vice versa, because Dr. Umar has been on fire. He'd be killing him.

He'd be killing them. Every single day. Every single day. Every day. I'm sending memes, dog. They're like, yo, is that real? I'm like, you, Dr. Umar is letting these fly from between me. Yeah.

The go. Go. Go. Go. I was making my real doctor if it was leaving. I'm making my actual real doctor if it was legal. He was killing. He hit poor Jamie.

Jamie Fox has been snow bunny. That's real. This is on his actual Instagram. No. And then, yo, Devin, how are you going to lose to Luca and then pull this is? And he's with Kendall or Kylie. At the wedding. That's Dr.

Umar's real page. That's not a parody page. That's nothing. No. Dr. Umar is. shooting from the hip. He's a go.

And then he started it last week, which I didn't agree. My favorite comedian. That's my favorite comedian. But it comes, I don't agree with going at people's kids because I didn't understand

why everybody was getting so upset with, you know, Lebron James. Leave the kids out of this shit. I hate that, lead the kids out of it. And also, we do have to, kids when they mess with kids.

Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too. Me too. Only because as a parent,

your one job you feel like is to protect, you know, your children. And you cannot protect them from the raft of social media. I mean, I'm sure LeBron James kid grew up in a very different neighborhood with, you know, it's a certain level of money. Ain't that many black kids over there.

It's going to be different. The people hear around on the daily basis is not. Yeah, it's a number game at this point. Yeah. It's different. Hey, he's in L.A. right now. Give him a minute. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Give him a minute for his life to shape up. He's going to meet his own. Yeah. He'll be one of these beautiful sisters in a minute. But now is his prime picture? That was his prom picture. Yeah.

And poor girl, too. It's like, they're just trashing this fucking girl. And on the day where she thinks she's the most beautiful. Yeah. He's a kid. There is a thing, no. We have to come to, we got to come to terms with interracial relationships. I think we've come to terms of that.

But here's my thing. If you're mad at interracial relationships, then that means you can't appreciate the fruit, right? You shouldn't like the fruit. Ooh. So that means no Obama. No Devin Booker. No Devin Booker. No Drake.

No Jay Cole. He said, no, Angelo. Nobody cares, Angelou. Sometimes it's a miss. Who's that? Sean. Oh, Sean. Oh, yeah.

Sean Kay? No, no, we're claiming him. He's full white. That's a Caucasian man. Yeah, that's my God. But I'm just that you can't be against interracial relationship but didn't celebrate biracial people. No, you say it's a little contradictory.

I said there's 100%. I think so. 100%. Because that's how you get to them. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'm only annoyed with inspirational people that, like,

get too, they're too happy about it. Like, I got a white girl. Like, you weird. Yeah, yeah. Are there guys that do that? Like, celebrate? Absolutely.

Yeah, you're weird as shit. Your man, Hubert Davis. What's the coach from the, yeah, from the tall hills? That's suspect as shit. Like, you're a weirdo, nigg. That's so peculiar to even to not have, like, any insecurity.

I'm dating a white man now. That you weird as shit. Because of this. You never heard of North Carolina? In a press conference, we played it. He accepted, he's accepting the job. And he's just randomly talking. He goes, I'm also proud that my wife is white.

What the fuck was that about? You never heard that? No. I'm also proud of my wife. I'm also proud of my wife's white. I'm like, now was he trying to say something like? I don't know what he was trying to say. I listened to it a few times.

That never fumbled hard. Like, why? I'm proud. We got to send that to Dr. Umar, right. Man. I'm proud of my wife. I know that in terms of Division I, head coaches are all around the country.

Only 26% of the head coaches for Division I men's basketball are compromised by minorities, specifically African Americans. I know that it is significance. I'm the fourth. African American head coach in any sport in the history of the University of North Carolina. I'm very proud to be African American.

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. And I'm very proud that my... It's a wild guy, man. That's a wild guy, man. That's something funny. How did I not know that? That's fucking great. Did they win the championship this year?

Who won it? No. They lost the championship game. I should have just done that instead of my. vows. I'm proud of my wife. I should have been, baby, you white as fuck.

I'm so proud of you. Thank you all for being here. I'm very proud that my wife is white. Oh, I'm sorry. By the way, I'm not mad at you for reping your sex. If that's your shit, rep your shit, you're like, you're proud to be African-American.

I'm proud that my wife is white. One don't have nothing to do with the other, but if that's your shit, that's your shit. But that's the thing, though. It shouldn't be based on her whiteness. You should be proud of who she is. your wife, period. Or how she treats you, how she holds you down.

But that's the white is right complex. That's right. That's the white is right. And that's how you know it's a complex. That's how you know he is very happy to be with a white woman. And that is like a trophy to him. That's his niggil. We Made It moment.

You know what I mean? You think it's mommy issues? Why? But on the flip side, I'm proud. I got a black wife, but it's only because of guys like him. Well, I think your pride comes from like, there's like a, there's like a, hate or there's already a thing looming over us to be in love and

and support each other. That's right. But there's not much. That's right on that side. He's just doing that to just be. Because a guy like him is why I celebrate having a black wife. It's why I celebrate black love. I have no problem with interracial relationships. It was government interference in black love. So that you have like a right to have pride. Absolutely. They would try to separate. It was, that's, there's legal papers.

and motherfuckers trying to alter that. So for you to still be able to do it and like overcome the whole of the shit, that's what the pride comes from. But for you to just be like, I bag the white girl, I'm proud. Like, what the fuck? Now, to that point, there was a period where

if you did get with a white girl, you did feel like it was dirty, nigga. Okay, Kendrick. But we were saying that before, Kendrick. What do you think Kendrick got it from? There was a point where people used to think that being with a white woman was a form of reparations. It was like, that's just programming.

And it's not actual get back. You don't get nothing. You bust the nut and you still a broke nigger. Nothing changed for you. Nothing changed for you. Damn, at least I ain't black. Like, you didn't make your life better because you bagged Rebecca. You living the same, son?

What if you get a Latina, though? I don't know. I'm going to tell you when Latinos, I mean, don't even know, Latinos have always been. been hot, but when Wu-Tang said Butterpicking Rican, when Wutteak and Rican, you wanted to have one just to say you had a butterpeaking rick. He did. When they were named a trend,

it became a trend thing. I mean, don't even wrong. Fan of women are beautiful. Anytime. But when you're beautiful ones aren't. With any woman. Yeah. But when you're butterpeaking rican,

you wanted that butterpeaking rican reekin because of that song ice cream. Butterpiquin-Rican, French vanilla chocolate deluxe. I feel you with, I feel you with the song things. That made me think of like reggae songs. I grew up Jamaican household. There's a lot of like references to like brown.

Like browning. It's like a thing. But they're talking about like a brown girl skin color. Like a black woman. Yeah. So they call a girl browning. That was something to attain. You want like a pretty.

Yeah, you want a pretty black girl. Because like that's like the music. That's like the hot shit to have. I never heard that song. I don't need that song. Really? Yeah. Shot one time for bourgeois.

But that's like common. There's a couple artists that have that. That's like a regular. No, that's my thing lately. I mean, not lately, but I always like my daughters hear songs that have, like, you know, like, Rolkin, you know what I mean? Oh, put it on to reggae. That's, that's, that's, that's new.

Hey, now, hold on now. Hold on now. Hold on now. Hold on now. Wait, it's browning. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, yes. It's a colorful culture.

I'm like, I actually, for the first time in a long time,

feel like I got some time. I got, um... When your creative juice is telling you, like, you know, you're cooking up something. I cook up something. I'll talk about it next week. Yeah. Um, Dre, you got any church in us?

It's the part of the show when we talk about the upcoming shows you got. Yeah, like shows the spots around the city and shit. Follow me on Andre D. Thompson, you find it like that. But that's really it. Great, he'll be, he wrote for me. last season on the guys on his truth back on season two amazing yeah

whatever we're naming it oh you think you'll switch it probably really why do you think it's above me I don't know oh really yeah I see the reasonings what are they what are they saying inside baseball

talking about that kind of stuff but season two is coming I like that shit Yeah, season two, season two is definitely, we back in, I like that name too. Yeah, I really do like the name. Yeah, well, I like the name. I'm going to ask you off the show. He ain't going to say it.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I definitely tell you all off the show. I definitely tell you all off the show. Really? Yeah. But I like, it put it like this, it gives us the best possible chance to really, really win. Because TV's a different game now. You know what I'm saying?

TV is, we all know. TV's not what it used to be. Yeah. You know, so they call it TV programming. for a reason. Yeah, you have a program. And sometimes you got to trust the programmer.

Oh, shit. You know what I mean? Oh, maybe, I mean, using your name? Definitely. That's what I would do. Definitely. But the crazy part is it's in there. I guess maybe it's two repetitions,

the gods on this truth with Charlamagne and the God. By the time, like, at least for me, when I'm scrolling on TV, which I haven't done in a while, but like, you only have so many characters you're going to see. The first thing I want to see is the guy's, name who's more famous than the network, most likely.

So, like, I think you, like, who else is on Comedy Central right now that's bigger than you? I mean, are there's, oh yeah, Trevor. And then Tosh. They probably still do Tosh. I don't know. I don't think Tosh is still on. Aquafina.

Aquafina. But, like, what I'm saying is, like, your fame will bring so much attention. To your point, I'm a few people is called Aquafina is. Okay. Yeah. Nora from Queenty. You know what I mean? Yes.

Like, if you were making a YouTube fucking. fucking title. Are you gonna put, let's say you're sitting down with Drake. All right. Are you gonna have Drake be the last fucking thing

on it or is it gonna be Drake says this so every single person on that scroll sees Drake. That's what I'm doing. You just answered your own question. You just say that's what it is.

You goddamn right out, dude. Charlemans on his truth. That's what it is. You know, but salute the, I want to salute

the Hollywood Reporter, the Hollywood reporter, they got their annual New York issue was out right now. I think Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband are on the cover. Oh, yeah, Matthew Broderick. Matthew Broder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ferris Bueller, bro.

Legend. Come on, man. He looks familiar. This guy. I'm serious. No. This guy's unbelievable. I know.

I'm looking at it. I'm like, why does Sarah Jessica Parker have him look so familiar? I'm like, this ain't I'm like, who is this? That's fucking Ferris Bueller, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's older now. You got the grades.

Yeah, you're right. I'm like, oh, shit. But I did say, I was like, whoever that is looks good. Like, that's, like, whoever that is, people are going to look at that and be like, he's aging well.

Yeah. And I can say not Ferris Bueller is aging well. Yeah, yeah. But they, uh, the Hollywood report, they put out their New York issue and they named me one of the top 35 most powerful people in media in New York City.

So that was, Thank you. That was, that was cool. Earned. Very hard. Aaron. And it's dope. Because I'm not going to lie.

I didn't realize. I never realized what those lists do, bro. What's that? Should change after the list came up. Those list changed. Really? Like what? What do you mean?

They do. The opportunities and the request that come through after stuff. Really? Yo, I'm not going to lie. I never knew. You know, we sit in there all the time and we don't, you know, we don't care about that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, I understand it now.

I get it. I get why people care about being on that kind of shit. So I can only imagine what being on the Times. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Power 100 lists. Gotcha. Because, yeah, because like these executives of these major companies, I'm sure you're doing deals with or, like, getting opportunities for.

Old school corporate Hollywood, maybe. And they just have to organize the world in some way. They can't be on YouTube all day seeing who's getting used to do. They get the Times. They have Hollywood reporters. That's right. I have these other things go, okay, who are the influencers in the market? Okay, let's talk to them.

Let's do that. That's right. It's old school corporate Hollywood. It makes sense. They still, that's their thing. You know what I mean? That's what they see. So it's just like, oh.

I mean, I'm sure if like you're on the top 30 under 30 list or something like that for businesses. I bet you J.P. Morgan the next day calls you and the banks call you and they're like, hey, how do we work well together? But yeah, that makes sense. Well, good for you. I like that times list, too. The reason I like that times list is because it seems pretty bad. Balance. Times or Hollywood Reporter?

Hollywood Reporter, too, but definitely. But the times, the times list seems very balanced. And I'll tell you why, because they'll salute an icon like Mary J. Blige, what she deserves. They'll salute somebody like Questlove. He's having a phenomenal year. But then, under their

influence, they had, like, leadership. Okay. Had Putin, bro. They had the president of China. I mean, they had that's what they had next to him. That's who was on. there with them. Rogan.

Yeah. Like literally, with Putin, Rogan, the brother of China? History metrics. Go, go, go, go. They're talking about like, influence, bro. That's what I'm saying. A motherfucker Rogan back in 1800s could take a country over. I think, I think time,

someone looked this up, if I'm not mistaken. I think time put Hitler on. Really? I think he was, can you look that up to see if he was one of them? And it's not like who's the good guy, who's the bad guy. It's who, yeah, I think. Yeah, I think. Look at... I'm sure the context

of Hitler wasn't in a positive. No, no, it's never. Do you know what I mean? I mean, like, but the fact that you have this type of influence or your... I don't know if it was man of the year or something, shit like that. But like, yeah, but you can't lie about...

You're going to put out a list and act like this motherfucker who is waging war in Europe right now. It's not powerful. It's not influential. Like, come on. And they had the president in Ukraine on there, too, but I'm just like, wow. And I'm... Say again?

1938. So this is before World War II. I need context. They put them on. I think they gave him like fucking man of the year or some shit. No. Yes, bro. This is before World War II. Man of dead right there.

1938, yeah. Well, Time magazine. Yo, can't be time. That looked like one that might come back down. Yeah. Well, times were different back then. Oh, where they? Yeah.

Don't give us none of those excuses. Jesus Christ. But I just like the fact that like you said, you can't deny certain people's influence. You might disagree with their politics. You might disagree with their point of view, but you cannot deny their influence.

100%. Hey, hey. Hey, um, Brendan Langley. You know who that is? That don't ring a bell? No. You didn't see Brendan Langley getting into a fight at the Newark airport.

Yo, yeah. I didn't know that was Newark. With the United guy? Newer. DWR. Something, something like bag checking nigger smacked him. Yeah. He leaked.

I don't think he was a nigger. Dre, that's not kidding that one. Yeah, yeah. I use it very loosely. I got to target my words better. A young Hispanic fellow. I think he wasn't Hispanic, right? I think so.

Yeah. Can you imagine he had to hear knocking him the fuck out? No, can you imagine somebody? A flight somebody at the airport smacking the shit out of you? But over what? Like, why would he feel like he has to do that? That's what I'm trying to understand. He was transpiring before.

I watched the video. He was like laughing and hit him. Yeah, the dude smacked him. And then son was like, oh, word. Brendan, Brendan said, do you see what he did? That's what I like. Yeah. He bought awareness to the situation.

Did you see what he did? Because I need more than me as a witness. I need to see what happened before. I wish he would end up on the conveyor belt, though. Yeah, he almost hit him onto the, that was good. And he ended up on the conveyor belt. And then dude came back. And then you got pulled off, son.

But I'm going to tell y'all something, even though all that was justified because he did smack Brendan. That is pain, bro. That fucking airline worker was fed to fuck up about something. For you to get into a customer's face and smack the shit out of him for what? Yo, I mean, I don't know. Alec Baldwin said the guy working at the airport is the victim. That's what he said. He came to work to do a job.

The other guy with his big mouth is guilty of workplace abuse. Not really. People come to work with an expectation of safety and even civility. Oh, Alec Baldwin said? The shooter? The shooter? Safety and stability. Come to work.

You killed somebody at work. Yeah. AB. A.B. don't be playing. Shooting at work. She was at work. A.B. don't be playing. A.B. don't give a fuck.

He really don't, bro. A. B's letting y'all know, like, you know. I know y'all know what I did. He don't care. But I didn't mean to do it. So I'm not going to walk around here. I can guilty because y'all want me to. He really is your remorse.

That's the difference. He's not doing a podcast. Really? Yeah. I mean, what? Does he talk about the incident? I hope. I hope.

What else is there to talk about? You're going to give your opinions on fact? That's something else. The crazy part is he said people come to work with an expectation of safety, even civility. He works at the airport. I am almost positive that if you work at the airport, you know you're getting screamed. Yeah, yeah. You know somebody going to be mad about.

I got to know what he's saying. I got to know what he's saying. Who? I got to know what the black dude said to the Hispanic dude. He probably just wanted to fucking book me on another flighto. And you got to. Some silly. Spanish dude probably is one of them type of people that does that shit.

That's like, I'm just doing my job. Like, they take too much pride in their little power and get a little carried away. And somebody brought him back. Not stereotyping here, but he said something a little more spicy than that. Because if you step up into a black person's face like that and smack them, Also, you were talking spicy before it. You're in Jersey like, come on, bro. There's no way.

Andy's the former NFL Flint. Who? Brendan, the guy who beat the dude up. The black dude. Yeah. He wasn't small. And he should sue United Airlines. He should.

He got touched. He should sue United Airlines. That man smacked you for no reason. Did you guys see what they reported that the dude that got dragged out of the United flight made in the lawsuit? Oh, and the Asian guy that got dragged out? Did you see? No.

This has to be. shit. What? How much? This guess. 10 million. Nah, I'll say about 40, 50. 130 million or something. It was reported. Look that up right there. I think it's cap. That's what I'm saying. I don't believe that.

That's, there's no way, right? Everybody should pay me more for everything. If that money exists, everybody should pay me more for everything. I don't give a fuck. If you could give him 130 mil for crying, I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Cut the check. What did you say? stress and a concussion and

injury. Nah, not a hundred and thirty. What you saw that? Wow. I don't think he should get a penny. Why? Why are you causing a ruckus, bro?

140 million? Damn. That's what's up. That's what's up. The timing. I mean, no, no, it's nuts. Timeing, timing.

Hate to say it, when certain things happen in culture, it benefits things like that. Oh, stop Asian hate. That's right. So that happened and stop Asian hate happened. They were just like, yo, let's just do the right thing. No, that's not the right there. They didn't start with the drag.

I would say this. They asked him, right? I'll say this. The way they dragged them off is excessive. All right. So with the pay. Yo, can we really keep it a buck? If he was Middle Eastern, he's not getting nothing.

What do you mean? If he's Middle Eastern, yeah. Oh, if he was Muslim, passengers would have helped. They would have helped. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The passengers would have got out. We know that. So it's like he's getting $140 million off of some guilt shit.

That's crazy. That's some shit. No way. No way. way, no way. Wow. It's bullshit. Yeah, yeah, it's bullshit. It's like when that little kid who made the clock, remember that little motherfucker, the Muslim kid went to school

with a clock or whatever. Oh, yes. He made a bomb looking like thing to cause a controversy. He was like, why is everybody man? Yeah, kept showing it to people, and then they had to pay his ass a bunch of money. Fuck that. $140 million just to get dragged off a plane. No, no, no. It's crazy. It's not.

You're trying to think where you could have? Yeah, where did I? I put my money up. Anybody drag me off of fucking way? $140 million. Come on, come on, come on. Jesus Christ, man. Yeah. What else we got, Taylor?

I just googled open mics and went to Comic Strip Live. Yeah, 18 and just kept doing it. The strip was your first?

The strip was my first spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you fire you? What made you say, you know what? Shit, the first time I had the idea, I was in, like, junior high school. I had, uh... Where'd you go to junior high? IS 59.

59 Queens. Queens, okay. Um, they had, like, you know, them scholastic book fare joints. Mm-hmm. And they had all the little book tickets and shit. I had mine, and I don't know why, but there was just one Bruce Bruce book. He had a book And in the back of the book

There was his album He had one of his comedy albums in this That's far And I just, I don't know I just spent my whole shit on that one book Yeah Downloaded the little The album I was listening to this nigga album

On my way to school all through junior high Baby James, bro? That's the year That's hilarious For real, I bought his book And then I had a sand disc And free three player and that was what the fuck was on the MP3.

And I was listening to that, like, all the time. And I was just attracted to any, anytime I was watching TV or something, and I heard a laugh, I was just watching. No matter what it was. So I ended up watching mad shit that I, you know, wasn't around or anything like that. And then I got the idea. When I told my family, I was in junior high, but they're like, you know what the fuck that is.

We just got here. Yeah. You were a young man. You were born in like the late 1900, right? Yeah, yeah, 92. The late 19th. Yeah. It's crazy.

The second you said it, I knew what you meant. I'm like, it's true, but it's like, it's a different. Yeah, we were. This sounds dumb. I should be way wiser. Facts, 1900s. 1900s. Got damn.

Mid-1900? Late 1900. Yeah. It is what it is. Yeah, it don't matter like when you were born in the 1800s. You oldest. 1892 or old, niggins. Oh.

Oh. 1892. Don't. Hell no, no, no. Maybe 1890 now. No. That's pushing it. That's 100, right?

Yeah, I think the oldest person was like 117. That's a person. There's a hundred and seven-year-old. The woman from Tulsa is 107. Victoria, la-la-la-la-la-law-law. That's not her name. No. No, Violet Fletcher.

Violet Fletcher. She 107? Yeah, she's 107 years old. Born, what, 18? Probably 19. 1915. Right? That's some shit, though, because, yeah, that's some shit.

1915. Oh, shit, there ain't about you a lot from the 18. No, it's fucking posse me. Yeah. They dust. It's interesting, though, that you being from New York and being so young were influenced by an OG like Bruce Bruce. Yeah, I got just, you know, comic viewing shit. So, of course, like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, you.

He's like the king of comic views. So I'm watching BET. You see Bruce Bruce all the fucking time. He hosting it and everything. So it's like, I love comedy, man. Oh, dude. Music is like the thing.

They're like universal bridges. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because what do you don't have like other than, the only thing you and Bruce having common is funny. That's enough. Yeah, yeah. Like funny is enough.

Yeah, it's not matter what background you from, what your race is gender. Yeah. Funny is funny. That's why I can't be around people that don't want to laugh. That's literally the problem with the world that we live. in right now. They want to talk things to serious.

That's right. You took one step back and just decided, let's laugh. Like, he's not trying to. But that's the thing. You got to have humility to do that. And I think people that want to laugh, they get that, they okay with the idea that I don't know everything. And that's all right.

Like, I don't hate you, bro. I might just be dumb. I might just not know what the fuck. What's your thing is, I don't got nothing against you. I just don't know. That's a real good point, Dre, because a lot of us express our insecurities through humor. Yeah, like, I'm not...

I make a joke about it. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm a self-deprecating on purpose. I'll make myself dumb before you look at me like a dump. That's right. That's right. And then you don't feel dumb because you're really not

if you're just asking the question that you're admitting. I don't know what you're like. Yeah. That's why like the idea of like when people get mad at you for not knowing everything. It's like, son, the fuck. I don't got that much time. Yeah. I can't know all of your shit.

Yeah. Yeah, laugh is just powerful, man. It's just so... It's such a likable tool. Like, does the other day, George Bush is on stage and he's trying to criticize Vladimir Putin and he's basically like there's a dictator there's a leader with authoritarian control is invaded uh you know another country aimlessly I can't believe what happened in Iraq I mean Ukraine right and then he goes he goes Iraq too

and then he goes he goes I'm 75 and he kind of like he makes people laugh at a horrendous thing that he is responsible for him did crucifying Putin for What happens? That, we're crucifying Puck for doing the exact same thing, but we're laughing at George Bush. Exactly. But Pooin not funny.

Pooin and don't slap. No, come with some jokes, man. You ain't got no jokes, bro. You ain't got no jokes, bro. You know, I'm Putin funny. Bush wasn't funny. No, Bush was hilarious.

Yeah, Bush was. No, hilarious, bro. Bush was reading a fucking book upside down to a kindergarten class. I don't know what's somebody to ask him. Bush was so funny. Yeah, we're going to get him. Now, watch this drive.

Do you remember that when he was playing golf? No. He's the best. Just his, just the impersonation. When people do the squint, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, that's, that thing is, it's just funny, bro.

Yeah. Listen, do you remember the first time you bombed? Oh, hell yeah. First on my bomb. He loves bombs stories. It's like, uh, fuck, I love his bomb stories. But,

balls be funny, especially as a comic when you watch your homie die up there. Yeah. So that's the funniest. When he's killing, it's like, all right,

get your money, do your thing. But you watch your homie past. It's like, God damn. No, that shit is for real. When Jay did you say,

If you make somebody die breathing, you're saying something? Boy, when you watch a comedian bomb on that stage, Lord have me. Yeah, I bombed early. I bombed early. I got, huh? Yeah, I got all my bombing. I got a lot of good bombing done early. So your first show you bought.

Oh, yeah. First show, like, I had, it was like a six-minute set. It's an open mic. You pay to do the open mic. I had shit written the first. I'm going up there for like four minutes, and it's hot. It's dead silence, bro. Yeah.

I'm talking faster and faster. is getting worse and worse. And then I see the woman likes me. And this is what saved me. Somebody just kind of like heckled me. And then I roasted him for like the last couple minutes. Got a couple lapsed. But the beginning to the sweet middle end,

it was horrible. It was train wrecked. It's also all comics in the crowd, right? It's like open mic. And y'all are booze. Y'all are a bougie elitist bunch. Not only are we boogey. No, but not only are we bougie elite is like,

All those comics got to go up. So they're thinking about it. They're set. They're also nervous. They're anxious. They're like, oh, I got to get this right. Oh, what am I going to do for this bit? So it's like the worst energy in the room to actually write jokes.

But you need to get comfortable on stage as a comic. Do comedians take the time to laugh at it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Yo, if you're nice, you're nice. Yeah, yeah. They'll tell you. Comics will definitely tell you, like, yo, that thing you said about the, that shit hard.

Like, they'll tell you. They'll give it up. Yeah. I don't know if this is. the count as a bomb? Because it was going fine, but then niggas had the TV on and the game was on. And then I was in not enough, but it was in Harlem though.

Which one? Harlem Knights. I know, no doubt. Oh, wait, that was, what's his face's room? Thompson. His last name was Thompson, too. Where? Yeah, isn't he? Oh, you're talking about Omar Thompson? Omar, yeah.

No, no, no, that's not Omar shit. It's not, it wasn't Omar. But, yeah, it was up for Harlem. His last name was Thompson, too. Like, his first name was Thompson. Bruce, Bruce, Thompson, Thompson. It's a trend with Black comics. Yeah, I was on stage and they had the game on,

and I guess the game got interested. And there was a couple of hood niggas in the back that never cared about comedy. These niggas let you know the whole time. You can't get fuck by none of that shit you're doing up there. Game was on. One nigga stood up and was like, yo, turn that shit up. So we can't hear the game. And I'm on stage like, what?

Comedy show. Like, I wasn't even the first comic. Like, we are well into the show. They just don't give a fuck. The game was good. Bar two. Yeah, it's a bar too. Yeah.

That right there with a pain me. Dialect. You're going to hell, bro. You're going to hell, bro. He's going to hell. Yo,

shut the fuck up and turn it. Like, I'm just up like, God, damn, son. That's best establishment's fault. Why you come outside? To watch the game.

Okay. Come on. Tell me some, what we got? What we got? Give me some asking idiots. What's trending? Come on, you gotta give me more contact. You can't see.

Martin Luther King or Donald Trump? Yeah, you're Taylor. You just can't say MLK or Donald Trump with no contact. Should we try to guess the connection? No. What's the context? Better basketball player. Man, yo, man, drop on a cruise bombs with them MAGA folks, man.

They are good, bro. That's box. And just to do that is hilarious. They're not even in the same sense. That's some pointless, needless shit that's going to have motherfuckers arguing all day long for nothing and all it does is keep Donald Trump's name out there. There's no other reason he's doing that.

Who's more popular? Like, there's no metric where they match. The only way, there's some people in the room somewhere, they're just like, all right, how can we piss all black people? Yes. Yeah. There's a video. A black guy goes to a white guy. He's out of, he don't know what's going on. He goes, I'm okay or Don Trump. Hey, let's show us the video.

I'm not you. See, that's why I need context. You would have been. That kind of change. That's a man on the street? No, I was homeless. He was one. Hold on.

Who was homeless? No, it's a clip. Okay. That's the kind of shit we need, Ray, this season. We need that kind of shit right there. Okay. Like, I'm sick.

Made on the street. I'm so sick of trying to make sense with you. You know, hey. Why? You get tired of making sense when shit like this is going on. Like, who cares? Like, I'm okay. Like, why?

That shouldn't even be a thing, but it is. Yo, you got to do that. Better train conductor. Thomas or Harriet? Who got the better crossover? Mopin' Max? Who'd be new in? But no reason.

Like, what? You know what I'm saying? For no fucking reason. Do you have it, Taylor? Michelle Obama or Margaret Thatcher? In what? Who could cut? Arm wrestle.

I got to. Michelle. Michelle got it. Michelle. Michelle a washer. You got it, Taylor? See? Taylor is one of them bucks.

Taylor just knows shit out there. Get us talking, you know what I'm saying? And don't even give us, give us what the fuck we need. No. I said it up,

babe. All right, give us some masking idiots. I'm okay versus Donald Trump. What was that about? That's fine. You got to have that. Who got the highest freestyle?

Public speaker? Is it public speaker? Public speaker. One of my favorite. Oh, come on. That's not even, come on. It's Donald, right? MLK.

Come on. By the way, hold, time out. Time out. Time out. Tom out. Hold on. Hey, just laughs. It's no.

That's what I'm saying. It's nuance. If it's nuance. Come on. It's true. But wait, wait. If it's inspiration, it's born on Luther King without doubt. You got quotables?

Huh? Trump don't got no quotables. What? Compared to, compared to MLK? No, he got bars, bro. Compit to MLK, son. Got more. In the human department, yes.

Locker Rock. I literally said China yesterday. I did. I was talking about you. I said China. Like, I did it like Trump on purpose. What did he call? Build a wall.

If it's for humor, you're going Trump. Kung Fu is fun. For inspiration, you're going Martin Luther King Jr. If you're being honest, Martin Luther King bars. Martin could have been funny. Outside of I have a dream, what y'all got. Martin could have been funny.

He just didn't have an opportunity. I may not go there with you. You know what I'm saying? He didn't say you know what I'm saying. Don't you Google. Let me quote my two. Well, I say this week I have a dream. I know that.

It was a different time. We also just recently lived through the Trump era. The wish I overcome speech was fired. No, no, no. All the speeches are fire. Selma. He had a speech for. I don't know.

I'm assuming he talked before they started walking to rile him up for the walk. This is why these discussions are amazing. You don't put this in the show. Trump had the opportunity. You don't put this in the show. The thing is, I'll have somebody there that actually knows the quotes. Like somebody like Dr. Michael Lerick-Dicekeke, can quote Martin Luther King.

What I will say is this. Trump's quotes are not going to stand the test of time. Nobody's going to be saying China. That's a lie. That's a lie. He's the. He was the president of the United States of America. He wasn't just some guy up there winging it.

That was the president. I don't even know what Reagan did. He was winning it. He was the president. What is Reagan quote? I don't even know. Reagan ain't Trump, bro. Yeah.

He got it. Reagan ain't Trump with them words, bro. Oh, it's a black dude asking the questions. Oh, Lord. I love it. I'm going to tell you something right now. If the MAGA people are already doing stuff like this, Martin Luther King versus Trump, boy, June team,

they're going to really start some shit. Hold on, hold on, let's see what we got. Donald Trump or Malcolm X. Oh, Donald Trump or Malcolm X? He's thinking about it? If you had to pick one. I need context, bro. Yeah, they just got a dude who's lost.

Trump or Malcolm X. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You pick Malcolm X? I thought you said Martin Luther King, Jr., Taylor. Malcolm X. Hello. Oh, that wasn't asking an idiot question. That was what you were on?

Oh, I thought you were just telling us about what's trending. Yeah, I thought that was from Twitter or some shit. Okay, give me another. What's another asking idiot? One thing from your childhood you love either, relieve or removed. Hold on what? One thing for your childhood, you love either relieve or remove.

I know, I know Charles. Or we did, I'm fascinated me. Yeah, that's all. I'm like, huh? I'm like, ain't relieve and removed, but the same thing? Hi, okay. I'm like, is that really? I don't know.

Why do I understand this? I'm like, relieve or remove. Relive or remove. Yeah. I don't want to relieve shit for my child. I'm trying. I mean, that's why I'm in therapy all the goddamn time now. What would you remove?

Jerry curl juice. Jerry curled juice. I think that messed me up more. Getting molested at eight molest me, I messed me up more as I got older. I think I would have more of a relationship with my father when I was young. But I mean, that's based off the things I know now about myself and about him, the work I've done in therapy. If I could go back, I would change the dynamics of that relationship. You know what I'm saying?

As opposed to him saying, don't do as I do, do as I say. You know, the one thing that parents do that's fucked up, or at least my parents, I'm not going to speak for all parents. It's not my mom. Really, really the dad is when a kid asks a question. don't do that. Why? Oh yeah, no answer. Because I said so.

I said so. I don't really do much. That don't teach you shit. Yeah, I grew up with that. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't teach you anything. And you don't learn that until you get older. Like, yo, you didn't teach me nothing.

So it's like now when I got kids, like the other day, my three-year-old, she wasn't feeling well. He's sitting right here in front of me. And she just stands up and she just throws up. And I'm like, yo. Give me a wood. Like, yo. And she just. throws up again.

And I go, yo, you kid, I scream her name and she starts crying because she's not used to me yelling. So then I got to apologize. I got to apologize. My parents didn't apologize to me. No, no, no, no. You know what I apologize to you. I didn't mean to yell at you.

You just startled me when you started throwing up like that. I said, you have to let me know when you're sick. Let your mama know when you're sick. And if you do feel that way, go stand in front of the toilet. You know what she did for the rest of the day? Stood in front of it. She went and standing in front of the toilet. So instead of me just, back in the day, my father would have just yelled.

Made me clean it up with my hand. You know what I'm saying? Scoot it up, right? Made me clean it up with my hand and then just been barking at me. She's great. He's a child. She don't even know what she did. But when I explained it to her, now she learned something.

So that's what I would do. I would go change the dynamics of that relationship by demanding I be taught something. That's like going back in time, but with the knowledge that you have now, though. Yes. Yeah. Which doesn't work. What would you, what would you relive or remove? What do you have, bro?

Or would I relive or remove? I don't know what I read. I don't know, like, certain holidays, I guess, where everybody was home. Yeah. I remember, like, when I was younger, there'll be, like, holidays would be more full. People cared more. Like, the house would be packed more. Yeah.

It's not like that. Damn. Everybody's old. The motherfuckers, move pandemic, people in different states. People, some people pass, you know, so like, it ain't, Christmas ain't the same type of Christmas that it was when you was like 9, 10. Are you Jamaican, right, Dre? Yeah.

Oh, so you missed like fucking curry and the goat. Curry and the goat. What I said? No, I said currying. Currie and the goat. Oh, I thought he said curry and the goat. I'm just putting a TV joke. That's like the Jamaican catcher on the ride.

A coming of age story About a young Jamaican But that's how y'all bond, though, right? We don't bond over curry goat, but I've seen it. I've witnessed Jamaica's in the national habitat. Y'all never killed the goat? Together is a sacrificial moment. We did kill chickens.

Chickens, definitely chickens. But it was just to go cook. It wasn't no like, get the family. together. We're about to have a moment. It was, yeah. Dinner's close, nigga, go get that dealt with, bring it in. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Situate this. Yeah, it wasn't no... All that stuff is bonding, bro. Say what you want. We don't do enough bonding activities. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to run or... I used to chase the chicken with my grandmother. Oh, yeah. And catch it so she can grab it and... Pity Pablo, that motherfucker, you know what I'm saying?

It's the truth, though, snap the neck, you know what I mean? Snap the neck, then cut it off. Where did you do it later? Where'd your grandma learn how to handle a cock like that, but? That's a lot. That's a good, though. All right, then, son. Where are you?

That's a funny joke, though. You gotta be a... Listen, that's a funny joke. Are you triggered, my man? No. That's a hilarious. That's a hilarious joke. By the way, that's the kind of joke you make with friends.

Facts, fact. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. What would you relive that moment? I'm going to use that. At some point in life, you're going to wait for the opportunity. I'm going to wait. What would you leave?

God, what would I relive or remove? I'm trying to think, man. What I want to relive from my childhood? but I want to remove from it. Hmm. It's so weird because now, like, I look at the world like, like Marvel universes.

So I'm like, well, if this thing that's embarrassing didn't happen, yeah, do I not get here? Yeah. Yeah, so I'm like, do I get to remove it and still be here? And then I'm sure there's a bunch of, like, times where, like, I did something that doesn't, like, connect with my, like, ethics or morals. So I was like, oh, that was bad.

I should have, even if it's a stupid thing, like I just maybe was embarrassed. I could have treated that person nicer or this kind of thing. But at the same time, I'm like, I enjoy where I'm at right now. What about like a reliving then? Yeah, really removing something. I think that's what when you get older, I think it's like, I'm 38. So now I'm just like, oh, let's run it back again, man. Yeah.

It's fucking cool. What would be the point of reliving when the whole point of life is learning? So if we go back with everything we know now when we were young. Well, you've got to have a better impact. Then you, so like, if you did this with the knowledge that you had this time, and this was the first try, and you fucking knocked it out the party. Yeah, yeah. Imagine the niggas had a game manual. Yeah.

And this is time, too. And I'm still. Not gay. That too, though. That too, though. That too, though. All that. Yeah.

Because the reason I say that is because simply, like, if I go back, I might think I know it all. But you thought that the first time. Yeah. That's how Young works. Yeah. I don't know if I thought I knew it all, but, oh, no, that's a good point, Greg. I don't know if I thought I knew it all, but I knew I didn't know enough that I had this one thing I did know, and that was this shit going to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I ain't know shit else, but I'm going to do this radio. You don't think that's more like an innate feeling? Because, like, I feel you with that on stand-up. I remember telling my family I was doing it, and they were, like, try to put, they would be slipping all kind of fucking job. applications in my door and shit. And like everybody's asked me when you're going back to school, when you're going to take something serious? And it's just like, I remember crying over this shit over doing comedy.

Like this shit, it tugged the emotions. I was doing whatever and anything to make it happen. But it was only like a, like I didn't know how. I've read nothing. I didn't know no past. That ignorance is bliss though. That ignorance is bliss because if you had too much information, you might have talked yourself out of being a comedian.

You might have been realistic. Like, ah, nah, you can't do comedy. You know, I should go get a job. This shit ain't going to work. Who do I know? That's the comedian. But that's the thing. That's more so if I'm looking at shit differently

versus just doing it again, but with the knowledge that I have now. Yeah. I'm still applying the same knowledge to this lifestyle. I'm going to live or whatever. It's just that I'll be able to make more intelligent decisions earlier. Yeah.

You know what I mean? And get to things a little better. Is life about intelligent decision? It ain't about the dumb shit, because that shit hurt every time you make them, but maybe it gets you where you are. That's what I'm saying. If it didn't hurt, you wouldn't change it up.

Because think about all the stuff we learned from. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of dumb shit that we did that we learned from and it really got us in the direction we needed to be. But I guess if you're going back and you already know not to make the mistake. I don't know. I think you have to make these mistakes,

but I really don't. I'm at that point in my life. Some mistakes you could learn from other people's shit. True. Yeah. Not everybody lives like that though. Yeah. I feel like minds would be,

I wish I did more dumb shit early on. Because now I'm too grown to do dumb shit. Yeah, because the stakes are too high. Oh, but see, your dad was in the military and your mom. Yeah. So it was like heavy discipline. So I didn't really get time to do. What's the dumb shit you want to do?

What's the scars you want to get? Oh. What? But that's the thing I'm thinking is like, all I think of the woman said that. Because it's like most of the times it's like people asking, how do I injure myself more? It could even be like, it could even be like partying more. Like I was so, when I moved here, so focused on trying to get into the industry, I always worked and I always had internships, but I didn't really party much.

You're a DJ though. Yeah, I'm working the party. I'm not getting fucked up, meeting people. But that's what I'm saying. Like, suppose that's a different outcome, because with that comes across, you partying every night, you might, you might look different.

You're drinking heavy as fuck. You might. Oh, that's true. You might, you know, it's a different lifestyle. Okay, well, party younger in high school. Like, get that out of me. That way now, I don't feel like I missed the face. Break some rules.

That's really what it is. You obey the rules and go pull a five. I'm going to alarm with some shit. Go living up. There's thousands in here. But you grew up in a strict household, I'm assuming. Yeah. I mean, my parents are young with their strict.

So you obeyed the rules, and there's a little party just like, I wish I rebelled a little bit. But you're also at an age right now where, like, if you rebel now, it could really kind of fuck up your life. Exactly. Yeah. Rebellion is, like, not paying your rent. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, just not texting back your dad now is not really rebelling. But that can cost you, though. What's that? Not texting back your dad because our parents are getting older. We get older. You know what I mean?

So you think about things like that. You know what I mean? That time when you like, let me call my mom real quick. I'll call it tomorrow. Oh, I hate that. I hate that. I hate that. I hate that.

I mean, we never had it. We never knew if we had it back then, but we really know we're going to borrow time. There was more runway back then. Yeah. Why do you feel like you should, you would have made more mistakes? This is why. I want to know, what's the why? Like, why do you feel like?

Um, just because I feel like, like things that I've learned in college, if I would have learned in high school, I would have been better off. I wouldn't have to experience it in older age. Like the older you get, you don't want to be doing shit that people learn in high school or shit like that. My dad always said, I didn't really understand it until I started to get older. He goes, youth, why is it wasted on the young? Now, that's not his quote. I'm sure.

Somebody else's a quote. But like, Martin King, June. Probably Martin. Might have been about it. But that's just what it is. It's like the second you get out of high school, you know exactly how to work high school. Second you get out college,

you're like, I got this college shit figured out. And I think that is life in general. Like nobody figures out life. Like all them monks and shit that know exactly how to live, they're like 100. You know what I'm saying? So it's like you figure it out right when you're done with it. And that's just part of life.

But that's why you become a monk. Yeah. And I don't mean, like I'm not saying become a monk. I'm just saying you become that person that passes it back to the generation that's coming after you. I was somebody the other day hearing this. here in this building was like, just because you said it don't mean it's gold. And I thought about it and I said

actually it does. And I'm going to tell you why it does. By the way, you might take it and not apply it to your life. That's fine. Well, in context to that conversation. And it's gold because I've lived an experience that that person has yet to live. This is my goal. That's my goal. So it's still goal. Whether you use it

and it helps you in your life, it's still gold. Anybody that's come before you and has done something and they're telling you how how they did it, giving you some tips, it's goal. I don't like arguing over advice. Like when people ask for advice

and then they start arguing, it's like... Well, it also depends on who it's coming from. Like, if you guys are giving me advice, you guys are people that are successful. But there are a lot of unsuccessful people that want to give you advice and really it'd be like, I don't want advice from you

because you're nobody I admire. Depends what they're talking about. No, no, but let me clarify what I'm saying. Like, I don't like arguing over advice that you're asking me for. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, if I'm giving you unsolicited advice,

tell me to shut the fuck up. You don't ask for this advice. But if you're coming up to me going, how would you do this? And I'd tell you I would do it, and then you start telling me why that's wrong? It's like, why am I wasting my fucking time? Absolutely.

I told the room last week, tell you. No, I was talking to that. Go, go, go, go, go, go. I said, hey, I said, hey, I love everybody in this room. I respect everybody in this room. But I don't give a fucking, You don't listen to me in that.

Because I'm already me. You know what I'm saying? It's not true. It's true. Yeah. Even like, you know what? Of course. But I needed that.

Yeah. It almost feels like it feels like you're being discredited. Like you don't know what the fuck you do. You're going to tell me I'm wrong when I'm here. How am I wrong? You're asking me for hell. You asked me. What the fuck?

And see Taylor's point. She wasn't. what happened? I forgot. What happened? Because I'm not going to lie that blind was so fire. You just remember getting that off. What was we talking about? Oh, no, that was in there.

No, that wasn't what we were talking about because I was saying, it's like you, Dre. I even knew, Shultz. Me. As a person, now, I was DJ. If you see somebody that's doing what you love and is doing what you do and they're more successful than you.

Go talk to them. That's all I was telling them. Go talk to them. I got some game. Have a conversation. And the pushback was, well, what if they don't want to say anything? That's on them, but they haven't tried.

And can I say one thing? I bet I assume that you feel similar, but I'm not going to speak for you. People enjoy talking about what they love and why it's worked out for them. Yes. They might not, if you walk up to like fucking Tom Cruise and you're like,

well, can you tell me about history? Why are you talking about history? If you walk him and be like, how do you get your body ready for the stunts? He probably been, honestly? Well, I have a pretty strict workout regimen. I have to eat certain things. My little babies.

To recover. Get on it, bro. Get on that. That's that bag of experience. That's that bag of experience. The adrenal crones. They put little babies on the pizza? What?

Yeah, what is that. But that's my point. It's like, yo, just go talk to a person. They do like it, man. And by the way, Tom Cruise may not have time, depending on who you are. But I promise you,

somebody. The person that never gets spoken to and never gets asked advice would love the poor in you. It's like, oh, you think I'm important? Yeah. Oh, you think I'm, you value my what I do? Yeah.

Oh, man, you can't tell me this shot. That's true. After that. That's all I'm saying. 100%. All right. Dre, give me your Twitters and your Instagrams and all that stuff. Yo, it's Andre D. Thompson on everything.

And, yeah, this shit is dope as fuck to do the show, man. I've been watching this shit forever. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, forever. What you say you was working at when you used to? Oh, fucking everywhere, bro. I was fucking working at Enterprise, washing cars. Watching cars. I was at a supplement store selling.

and creatine the motherfuckers and shit. True Jamaica. I was doing everything, nigga. So now to be on it, it's dope as shit, man. I'm stoked to see what's happening with you, man. This is awesome. Oh, shit.

Appreciate it. And I didn't know you do Dante podcast? Yeah, yeah. That's how I saw it. You met you all the first time. Oh, when we did Dante's podcast back in the day. And I remember, I was about to, we was talking, podcast going, and then I was like, about to say something.

And show me, it was like, all right. I hate shit, bro. It was about I need context. Yeah, it was about shit like young people trying to like act like they know shit or or have experience or something

or have something to say. And you and Dante was more of like, you ain't lived enough yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To know stuff. So, you know, don't talk. And then I was like, but what if? And he was like, all right, that's,

we've had enough of that. That sounds about right. That sounds about it. That's proper content. I think that's proper concept. Yeah. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant.

You're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right, too. It's the brilliant idiots podcast. Thank you for listening.
