The Brilliant Idiots - D.I.Y. Hire (Ft. Ryan Davis)

Episode Date: April 12, 2025

This week on the Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz link up with hilarious comedian Ryan Davis. They chop it up about everything from cultural stereotypes and economic power plays to the real value of comedy in today’s world. Expect hot takes on tariffs, manufacturing, and how consumer choices actually shape global trade. But it’s not all politics and deep dives — the crew also gets into the role of comedians in social commentary, the Gail King controversy, and the fine line between trolling and truth in today’s cancel culture climate. They break down the business side of comedy and music too — think: streaming deals, knowing your worth, and how reparation talk shows up in the culture. Ryan shares gems about what it takes to make it in comedy, handling race jokes, and why low expectations can actually be a comedian's secret weapon. Also on deck: real talk on love, public affection, the pressures of fame, and how social movements shape public perception.

Yep, Charleney, guys. Andrew Shaw. We are the Brilliant Idiot Podcast. Back for another week of Brilliant Idiotness. We are joined by a special guest today. He has an amazing stand-up special out right now that he put out himself because all the people was fronting on him, but he said, fuck it. Okay?

Ryan Davis is here. Let's go. What's up, Ryan Davis? Ryan Davis is a brilliant idiot. I think he's just brilliant. I'm a brilliant idiot for sure. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

You get to know me personally. You get to see the idiot's out. That's the beauty of it. The beauty of it is when you approach things from an idiotic perspective, but then they hit it brilliant. They're like, oh, shit, I wasn't expecting that. Keep the expectations low. That's right low. Okay?

That's the only thing low right now because China got a hundred and twenty-five percent tariff. And it's going up. Chris is losing his fucking mind. Chris didn't shake my hand when he walked into it. God, damn. Did you shake my hand? Did you shake my hand? Did you shake my hand?

I tried to. No, you didn't. You tried to give me a fist pump. I extended my hand like that. I've been having problems. Then I, we had a little. I wish you didn't bring me in it. He did the same thing.

So we were in the elevator. He didn't even speak to me. So I hit the floor that y'all was always like, oh, you're going to Shosey. Hey, my name is such a. He wasn't even going to speak to me. And he came in. And then he came in and was going to walk right past Shoreska. I thought you was an ally, Chris.

Yeah, that's what I thought. You don't speak to black men on the elevator? Yeah, it is fucked up. You just make money off. You thought he was a moped driver. Nah. You thought the moped parked out. I didn't know, I saw the bag.

I thought he was a like Uber Eats guy. Damn! So we both judged too early. Yeah, we both judged too early. I also want the record to show I looked around New York City all week because I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Because, you know, Chris talked about how there's a moped problem in New York. Did you see any mopeds?

I have not seen a moped problem. Well, what do you say? In fact, I called Uber Eats today at the radio station. Taylor's my witness. I went downstairs. The person on the moped path by the building, I called him to say, you pass by, they were like, oh, no, I'm just parking my moped. Respectful, out of people's way, in his lane.

As long as you're not jaywalking and you look both ways, you won't have problems with mopeds. It's crazy when we judge the majority by the minority, isn't it? Damn. Isn't that crazy, Chris, when you have one haphazard incident and you just project that across all moped riders in the city? Can't even say nothing, Chris. You can't even say it.

Chris already lost his phone earlier. It started panicking. Like, iPhones are going to be $12,000 at least for the foreseeable future. Cough it up. Cough it up, dang him. We're not playing. We need a camera on Chris. Chris is, you know, you know how I know we need a camera on Chris?

Because, you know, Stylebender, UFC Fighter? Yes. He said, he hit me up. He goes, yo, send me a picture of Chris. And I sent him a picture. He goes, he's not Chinese. He's been listening this podcast for 10 years thinking Chris is actually Chinese. We got people convince your Chinese, Chris.

He met him before. That's why he thought you were Chinese when he met you. Chris is Chinese. I told you, I saw people, not as a joke saying I was a DEI hire and now that Trump's in. I'm going to get kicked off the show. Isn't that fucked up? Isn't that fucked up that that's how you kept your job all these years? Drinking coffee with chopsticks?

I never even seen. I never even seen anybody do something so skilled. I'm like, he got to be Asian if he could drink coffee with chopsticks. What do we think of the tariffs, guys? Let's get to it. Run them up. You don't mean that. Run them up.

You don't mean it. Ain't know what you mean. I mean it. I'm here for it. I'm here for the discussion. I mean it. I'm running up. Okay.

It hasn't affected me yet. Because you got money. No, because I tell jokes. Yeah. Once, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I had a clothing business, I'm sure I'd be immediately impacted. I haven't bought clothes since. I haven't.

We bought those. But you're not on tour right now, but it does affect the people who are coming to your shows. 100%. I mean, obviously, I'd be a hyperbolic. But, like, I think what is happening is people who are more down there. stream, i.e. me, you, you were not immediately hit by. Some of my friends are in the clothing business and they're like, dude, like, I won't even have a business if there's 104% tariffs. It's 125 right now. It went up again since the 5th? It went up again. Because Trump, he paused

everybody else's terrorists, but China was trying to act tough. But you know why he paused everybody else's terrorist? Art of War. No. It was their books against them. No, because you pause everybody else's because most everybody else, that impacts the big boys. Big boys probably was like, hey, you fucking with our money. I think he... The Chinese mess with the smaller consumer. I think he paused everybody else's tariffs because they all came to the table.

And none of them did reciprocal. The only country to do reciprocal is China. So he's like, all right, your shit not going anywhere. I'm going to negotiate with all these other countries and we're going to freeze your ass out. Because all they could have come to the table and be like, you know what, that's right. It is weird that there's no tariffs in this direction

and we tariff you. Let's have a fair tariff exchange. But instead, they upped it. Somebody already fucking you? And then you go, I want to make it easy. China's not push you. Say again, China and our pussy?

I think it's because we don't get oil from China. I think that's the reason why. It's easier to come to the table about basic goods and not about the thing that's really going to affect the country in a major way. But the basic goods are going to affect us because the regular everyday people are going to be getting hit in the pockets. Yeah, but he's already elected, so. But you can't make it worse.

If you ran on groceries and making the economy better and making life easier for people And pointing that Joe Biden and the Democrats are saying they're making your life hard. You cannot make nobody's life hard. But groceries aren't going to go up because of China. We don't buy groceries from there. Consumer goods, well, a lot of goods that are going to go up. We're talking about clothing, toys, whatever. Electronics.

But not groceries. This country, laptops, tablets, hair. You know what I mean? There's a lot of shit that's going to do. He said hair out of underwear. Taylor found out. Taylor found out. But electronic and laptops, this country.

You get that shit from India, Taylor. Do you see how Chris almost panicked when he lost his phone thing and he had to pay $12,000? I know. I saw the panic in his eyes. He started patting his pockets like, what you're going to do now? Here's which grocery store items holding on slow down. I'm not buying no Chinese bananas. His...

Fuck out of here. You never seen the Chinese punch in a banana, bro. I'm not buying no Chinese bananas. I'm getting bananas from Central America. That's where bananas is much. are from China original. Bananas are from China originally. Because they look like a throne.

Yo, what's going on? You know, that's what? That's what no choice is made out of it? This is racist. Why are you making us think of this shit? You know we're not matured. I just want to give a blanket. I don't condone all the casual Asian racism.

But you're the one promoting it. Asian racism, Chris. Yeah. You said that. Nunchocks and throwing stars are Japanese. I never said throwing stars. I said throwing and then he said nunchucks. You never got mad at the Ninja Turtles

and they would have been culturally appropriating forever. Forever. Japanese. And Italians. How did Nitch turtles get away with that shit? Both. Both cultures. Yeah. Both. Both.

Okay. The foods Americans eat are part of a complicated global supply chain. Scroll up, Taylor. Let's see. Well, I just Google. No, Google China. China's the only person that, uh, China is the only person that, uh, China is the only person that, um,

I think yes. Ain't nobody getting food from China, bro. Box Choy. Yeah, we'll live without the box choy. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm like, what about tablets and laptops? We're good. That's the whole life.

You buy one of those every few years. The real concern is clothing and these other items or like screws and a little electronic shit that isn't manufactured here. That's the stuff. But that's also the reason why the terrorists are there. It's like, yo, if we can't build our own submarines, we got to do something about that. If we can't make our own pharmaceuticals, we got to do something about that. We couldn't get a mask during COVID.

No, no, think about that. We couldn't make get a mask during COVID. Who's fault is that, though? I mean, that's America's fault because they want to focus on bullshit all the time. Everybody wants to be a star. Everybody wants to do it, be a comedian. Everybody wants to have a podcast.

Everybody wants to have a YouTube channel. No, we're doing dope shit. Focus on some skills. We just made some wolves. We did make wolves. The dire wolves. I actually don't think we made it. China made that.

Oh, see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They brought back in a big species. Like that. We don't produce anything. That's the other. They produce. Who? Who?

See, you're doing it again. What am I doing it? I'm not doing it. Chris just told you to stop it. Fine. We're going to put a Gigi pin in it. What? No, come on. Chris, we're cooking, bro. What products does China import from the US?

All of the soy. Oil seeds? You said there was no oil in China, right? My man, you know what I mean. No, they don't got oil. No, it does. No, it does. No hell.

Oh, he's talking about. Oil seeds and grains, followed by oil. Shade butter? Followed by oil and gas. Look, he said followed by China's top imports from the U.S. in 2020. Soybeans. Oil, season, grains, followed by oil and gas. Exactly.

They need our shit. Yeah. No, I'm saying we don't import that from them. Exactly. Oh, shit. Yeah. No, we're low-key good. They need us to buy shit.

I want the other one. Yeah, Taylor, let me ask you a question. Father, let me ask you a question. Yes. Okay. We have a saying in America. I don't know if this exists. around the world, but the customer is always right, right?

The power's in the customer's hands. Because if you got a business, nobody wants to buy that shit. We are the world's customer. We have a $20, we have a $31 trillion consumption, have it a year, whatever. 20 trillion of that goes to buying goods from other countries, and we weren't charging them nothing to have access to that wallet. They were charging us. Listen, I would have no problem with the tariffs if we weren't the ones who had to pay for.

Well, here's a thing. And I need to know what it is exactly we're paying for before I'm like, okay, this is. I think that's a fair question. but I would pose this to you, right? Let's say, for example, we get these tariffs. And people have made a lot of big deal about this. Like, why is there a tariff on Lesotho or whatever? There's an African nation, like, in the middle of the Atlantic.

Uh-huh. Or the place would have got all the penguins. Exactly. No humans there. Here's why. Because what used to happen was you would make some shit in China. They would send it to Mexico. Mexico was stamp it made in Mexico.

And then there was no tariffs from Mexico to America. So basically what they did is they go, all right, everybody's going to get a baseline 10% tariff so that you can't do that little Fugazi shit and find the arbitrage. So there are certain things that, like, they don't look like they make sense and there are a lot of fodder for headlines,

but in reality, I think they do. I think it's all about getting people in negotiating table. And if it ends up working out, there's a world where, like, these tariffs that we put on other countries could generate like $750 billion, right? If that happens, and then they say,

we're going to eliminate income tax for everybody making under $150,000. How would you like that? It sounds like a pipe fucking dream. All right. If they pull it off, though, I'll tour less. Do you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, for sure. Everybody making under $150,000 no longer has to pay income tax because that money is generated by the tariffs. How much are you saying they're going to generate? There's been some analytics on where it could be up to like $750 billion. How much do we owe China?

Trillions. But you're talking about trade deficit. Owing money is not a bad thing. Like America owes me because I bought treasury bonds. He'll never lower the deficit. He'll never lower the deficit by doing the tariff's shit. That's the stock on. I don't think they're trying to even pay off the debt.

I've never heard of, you know, America going, oh, yeah, here's a little bit on what we owe you. It's not what we do. It's not what we do at all. It's like, you won't fight about it? No, you don't want to fight. Cool. And then we just owe you. Most people don't even understand, like, what the debt is.

It's like you invest in America. You buy these treasury bonds. And America goes, yo, we're going to pay you back 5% on that thing you bought. So debt isn't a bad thing. It's not like they loaned us money. They're investing in America. And then we owe them when that debt ends up, we owe them every year, this percentage. And that percentage, hopefully, is eradicated by the growth of our GDP.

Would you like to know the top of U.S. enforced from China guys. Yes. Electronics and tech. So phones and smartphones, computers, laptops, tablets, TVs and monitors, computer components, everything that's in this room basically. Alex, you're fucked. You might as well shut WTF Media now. Machinery. Industrial equipment, electric motors and generators, semiconductor machinery. That's what U.S. factories damn near rely on. Furniture and home goods, sofas, tables, beds, beds, chairs, lighting pictures, home decor, toys, games, and sports equipment, textiles and apparel, clothing. footwear, fabrics, yarns, and raw textile materials, plastics and chemicals, plastic containers,

kitchenware, industrial plastics, fertilizers, auto parts, tires, engineers, batteries, batteries, batteries, medical equipment and supplies. So that's everything from masks and gloves and gowns, the surgical instruments, thermometers. Like, what are we talking about? Nobody else can make that shit? Clearly not. If they could, we wouldn't be buying it for China all these motherfucking years. Well, no, one, I think, you know, if we get it.

I don't know, the right infrastructure. A lot of that stuff is replaceable. But, too, if you got a DIY page... I'll still before this infrastructure gets made, though. See, you know, the conversation that kills me when they talk about the man... It's going to bring manufacturing back to America. First of all, it's going to take several years

to build factories in America. And in five to ten years, it's not going to create no new jobs because it's going to be robots running every motherfucking thing anyway. But it's more about national security than it is about creating jobs. There you go. You need to be able to create your own submarines.

You need to have an assembly. line, you need to have the manufacturing capability to create the devices that protect you. And if you don't, you're in a real, like, liability when it goes to global war. We couldn't even have, we didn't even have masks during COVID. Whose fault is that? They made COVID. It's America's fucking fault. So how do we, that's the question.

How do we fix it, then? We have to incentivize... We have to be more like the Chinese. We should be focused on, that's how we're doing it. We should be focused on discipline. We should be focused on edge of motherfucking cases. You know what I'm saying? But that's what I'm saying.

We focused on eating healthy. Yes. And it's really the truth. They tariff us. So we should tariff them back. That's exactly what we should do. We should do what they do. That's not going to raise the skill set of America.

But why is that so crazy if other countries... More DIY pages. What does the EI have to do with this? That's a DIY. Like everybody, yeah. You can learn, you can learn carpentry on the internet. See? That's the problem. You ain't got away.

That's the problem. The problem is how you're going to watch it because the tablet's going to be... TikTok is done TikTok is done tablets are done laptops are done TVs are done You're not going to get a new phone

every year Who who You're gonna have to save your phone For two years You know what You would say that After your special comes out on Netflix

Yeah I don't get a new phone Until the buttons fall off You didn't make all your money Turn your phone Now I was like Fuck your phone

You know what I'm saying You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know don't tariff China man You guys got to take those back. Don't tariff anybody. Well, if we weren't

tariff, then we wouldn't need to tariff. I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I didn't even know what the fucking tariff was until, you know. I agree. Last year. None of us know. It's like fascism. None of us knew this shit was going on. We don't know fascism either. We just say it. I know what? But do you

really? I don't... Exactly. If you don't like somebody that's fascist, I call my wife a fascist the other day. I didn't even know what. Did she deserve it? Maybe. I don't know. I just said it. It seemed like right thing to say. You know? Yo, fascist does,

fascist is like beyond me for that word, though. Yeah. What do you mean? You know the word. You know the word. You know, you know, you know,

you know, that's, you know, fascist. Fashist. You fucking type of fascism is this. You know, you see Gail King?

Yo, drop it talking to Mattel. Did you see Kail drop it talking to him? You got too comfy, bro. I don't think she comfy at all. Play the clip tailor. Did you see this?

No. Oh my God, you went for a treat. Do you like 90s? Do you like the 90s? Yeah. What in the faggotry are you talking about? Whoa. Gee. So, so. Whoa. So, I thought people fit with no contact.

Yo, no context is crazy. So, Mateo Lane's hilarious comedian, man. Guy called alumni, cold game. What's up, Mateo? This sold our radio city music hall. one of the homies and in his new special that's not... Homies. One of our homies is what show said.

He's got one of the homies. One of the homies. I'm going to be clear. Yeah. We got to be clear. Okay. Be clear. That's our guy.

Okay. So he's on CBS Mornings and Gail King, I guess, saw his special, but I don't think it's out yet. So she's referencing a joke he made in the special with that word, but nobody else knows that she's referencing. because it's not out yet. Play it against that. Played up because you've got to watch it in context. I'm trying, damn.

I'm trying to do good work for you. That's journalism though. That's good journalism on her part. She's prepared. Oh, it's only the three seconds. Damn, I want you to play the whole part because there's another part to it and I want both of you all. She drops it again?

No. She's, to your point, yes, she's referencing his special so she's quoting him, but she does something very important. She asks, what does this mean? So that's all I need to say? I thought it made. Right. Say what I want and then go, but I don't understand it exactly. What is the theme? I've heard it a few times. This is word. I'm really curious about. Mattio laugh though. I mean, that's such an uncomfortable.

Oh, yeah. We can do that. We're trained to do that. Yeah. What? Laugh. And we don't find shit. What does she do? What does she do wrong? No, she didn't do anything wrong. Like, obviously, she was called the moment. The discomfort comes to the fact that the special is not out so people don't know the joke she's referencing. And the pressure of, you know, there's people who probably want him to check her. And then there's the pressure of, you know, unity. You can't just like what if you do? What if he doesn't say anything? And then a rapper drops a song.

It was like, don't ever let female journalists talk about gay people on it. You know, you just end up, it turns into a shit storm. You don't know what to do. The other, you know, journalists beside her got an answer to that shit. They get called clums and all kinds of. That's right. And I bet you won't threaten to sleep with Mateo. I bet he's not threatened me.

He was a good time. I'm just saying that is an awkward situation to be in, you know. That comedian's like, Mattio, I will, yes. Me first. Listen, I don't think she did nothing wrong. She was quoting him. That's number one. Yes.

And she asked a question. And based off the way the joke is set up, because the joke is towards white women. That's a valid question to ask, what does that mean in reference to white women? Can you take us through? I wish you guys would have gave me context, y'all. They gave me no context. I still have nothing.

All I got is Gail's saying it. The 90s is back, right? We use that as a drop on the radio. What? Yes. Yo, I'm sorry, that. That's a drop on the radio now. Yes, it is.

Me? No, you did it. Because, you know, me people always say me and MVP do. going gay stuff. Yeah. So as a matter of fact, as envy, envy goes, yo, did Boosy have his shirt off? And I go, oh, you want to see his nipples.

You want to wipe him down. And then there's Gil King, play it, Taylor. Hit it. Yeah. Hit it, Taylor. He made me do it. Yeah. No, just play it right now.

Play the, press play. Plus the triangle. Oh, this. Yes, Taylor. What? What in the f*** tree on your fuck? What in the f***. Now, down, down, down.

It's the tree on you park. That's what in the . That's what makes it a joke. And they love wood. What in the f***ing it? Yeah. What is going on? But that's what makes it a joke, Ryan.

You know that. Of course. You can't just say the word. You just say the word. No, that's, that's, you're crazy. But when you add, like, the tree at the end. Yeah, it feels scientific. Come on, man.

It's like geometry. Yeah, geometry. Yeah, geometry. Biology. Biology? Symetry. Ah! Symmetry.

Ah! I don't see the problem with it. We really need education back in the No, we do. What? Because these Chinese, they know what? They know how to say that word. You know. They know. They know how to say that word.

I don't have a problem with it, man. Gail's 70 years, though. She's about to go to space. She's like, man, fuck all that. Say whatever you want. Yeah, I mean, it's the era I grew up in. Question, though. If a comedian... Yeah, say it.

If a comedian... That's what I'm thinking. If a comedian... Yes. And then a white journalist goes, what in the niggatory is this? Is that your reaction the same way? Yes.

That's why I like y'all. You're all fair as shit. Exactly. Absolutely. I'm consistent. You are lying. You are such a iron ass. You are absolutely consistent on that.

That's good. I wouldn't give a, because I would understand the context because you know who's done that before? Kendrick, when he made the white girl say it on stage. Well, she didn't, he didn't mean her. He didn't make her say it. But okay, I give you, I give you. He didn't force that in his white woman.

He didn't go. He didn't go. Say it. I can you say it. He brought on stage. He was like, here's a song. I guess I'm going to sing it however you choose the sports. That's crazy.

People in school would they quote Huckleberry Finn. Yeah. Oh, we used to read that out. We used to look forward to it. Nah, bro. Raise your hands so fucking fast. Son, son, son, son, son. Pulled an Elon, no.

The, you know that they would go around class when we were in Huckleberry Finn. And the teacher said, you know, if you want to say it, you could say it, gave us the option. And all of us knew not to do it. So there weren't black guys in your class. No, I was in public school. Of course there were. But there were kids that just came to America from Asia that didn't know the rules. Oh, that's hilarious.

So we're just counting the paragraphs of the thing and seeing when it's going to hit one of the Asians, it barely even knows English. And bro, when they would hit that shit. And keep in mind, remember, Huckle Mary Finn is written in, like, slang. Yes. So they're saying it like Jim. Yes. Yes.

Did anybody get offended? I don't know, bro. We were laughing on ass. But you've got to know that they're quoting Huckleberry Finn. You know who else has done that? Go back and watch some of those Senate. Biden. Biden in the Senate hearings, quoting people saying the N-word

and not saying it in a Huckleberry Finn way or a joke way. The allegation that important legislators in defeating the Nunez plan in the basement said, quote, we already have a nigger mayor. We don't need any more nigger big shots. So I don't have a problem if you're actually quoting somebody. Personally. What if you're quoting a lyric from a song that now we're getting into tricky territory.

That is it. That's when it gets iffy. Why is that any different? Because you've heard the song enough to know that you probably shouldn't say that. What are you, what? See, that's why I don't, that's why I'm, I say, that's why I'm no across the board on everything, man.

Really? Listen, not, like, the only people that I feel like should be able to say whatever they want to are comedians. Everybody else, you don't. You don't, yeah. You don't, yeah, you don't possess the skill or the know-how to navigate this mind field. Because a lot of times y'all aren't thinking about it. We have to consider, if you're a good comedian, you're considering the audience whenever you're creating the thing that you're about to say most of the time.

I'm glad you said that because I think that comedians often forget about us to consumer. You have to have the mind state to understand that anything potentially can be funny if somebody can craft it in a funny way. Not you just have a bunch of motherfuckers offended all the time. Yep, facts. Like, I watched this girl King thing at least 700 times. You play one more time. Because it is a phone. I already forgot it.

Play one more time. What in the f***ing tree are you talking about? She said it's sold. Have that ready to go. She practiced. And there's no. It was too close. It was too clean.

It was she was waiting on her moment. Imagine Gail saying that to Oprah. Yeah. And you know they both a little up in the age now. So Gail's like, Oprah, you gotta watch this special. He asked this question and he said what in the, and Oprah's like, he said what? And so she got to keep repeating it over and over

until Oprah finally gets it. And then when Oprah drops it, ooh. It might be, that word might be officially back. If over dropped it, it'll be a thing. What a new, tree are you? And you know why another reason, Gail can make that joke.

It's because the joke isn't towards anybody in the LGBTQ community. It's towards white women. But you know the irony of the whole thing? It's a joke made toward white women. And then Gail says it, gives it to Oprah. Then Oprah says it. That makes it cool for white women.

And they forget that the joke is about them. And they start saying it. Damn. That's some good irony. You know what else is the good irony? They've been saying that Gail and Oprah part of the LGBTQ community. So therefore, she has the right to use it.

Is that the rule? That's crazy. I didn't even see that park up this. Did she just come out? Yeah. Did she come out without even realize it? Was she so comfy with it? She has that defense in her back pocket.

The whole problem. Wait until they come after me. I'm a show. What in the f*** tree are in that car? Cisot. She'd have to say scissor tree. It'd be scissertree. It'd be scissors tree.

Wouldn't it be scissotry? It wouldn't be scissertree? It would be scissertree. Cisertree. Why are you talking? That R-whopping his ass, got to let him get up. I wasn't even going to see, maybe I'm from the Carolinas too, so I hear it. And I was just like, I'm going to, he's scissotry.

He keeps talking about the singer. He refuses to put the R on the motherfucker. I kept listening. I was like, he's going to get it. Oh, what else we got, Taylor? You know, what else we got, Taylor? Nothing is going to beat that, man. Nothing's going to beat that.

What do you mean? What do you mean? You can always go back to the tariffs. You know. Chris really pissed off what they should do. Half you should be, though. No, no, I get it. But what if they just tariffed those words?

That's exactly what I was about to say. Would you pay it? That's the thing. Like, if there was just a little tariff, it goes to support, you know. The community that is a fear. You know, how I'm at, listen, Jeff Bezos. Hey, we might get referations that way. No, you go to make a lot of money.

You go to a concert and you just pay a fee for one time to say. Yeah. Whoa. You would have to look at every artist set list. though. Yeah. Because you would know when the end-in-lars is coming up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

But it's one flat rate. $100 you can say whatever you want. I don't want to use it though. I don't. I just like hearing it in that context. I'm thinking about, no, I'm thinking about reparations, bro. Yeah. You just put all the rappers on tour for five consecutive years and have non-blacks pay that

tariff to sing it along at the concerts. That's it. We should have reparations sold up in five years. You would. If we could. Yeah, right. All go with everything? You know what so?

Why was that so quick for you though? I just didn't. Why was that? I've been waiting for this moment. It's like, like I'm always impressed and then curious that the same time is why. It's just so many in a row. I'm right. And I think, yo, it was.

It's three in a row. No, it's only two I really think about. YG. No, I'm saying in the Trin' that James song, it's boom, boom, boom. You never thought you've never thought you. Three in a row. That was crazy. Three in a row. There's so much, it's so much.

You never thought it was possible three and a row. No, you got to put tree on that. You got to put tree on that. Yeah. I'm for real. That is. That is. Yeah, that is, that is.

That is, that is. You know, that is. You know, that is. Did that word? Uncle Ruckus. Oh, yeah. Powerful niggatory going on. Oh, yeah.

That is powerful niggardry at work here. Powerful niggatory at work. Shout out the boondocks, man. Yeah. Yeah. You are how old? What does that mean, Taylor? Oh, no.

You know what? Since we're here, since Ryan is here, go to scroll up. Bazon Love responds to Ryan Davis. Oh, no. Pops tripping, man. Ryan Davis. Pops. Ryan Davis spent $150,000 on his special.

Clap that up. Let's go. Spending his own money. I believe in that. you bet on yourself. Yeah. Netflix denied your special. Is that the only place that you shopped it?

Man, we shopped a lot of places. Andrew will tell you. There's a lot of bad deals out there. There's a lot of bad deals they'll offer you out here. And then disguise it as opportunity. Bring it down. How about we take this thing that you created, that you financed and everything. For free.

For free. You bring it to us, and then you tell your fans, and then you bring all your fans. and then you bring all your fans over here and then we'll charge them and split the money with you for them to see it. Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

It's hilarious. Like YouTube doesn't exist. Yeah, that's the way. Like, Patreon doesn't exist. Well, it didn't. You got to give my guy over there props. Oh, yeah. It didn't because people were afraid

to take that material and just kind of... I don't want to give it away, but that felt like that. You are burning it. You're burning it. Because you can't tour it. No, you got to have a new set. So you give it away. that's set and now you're looking at like, I don't know how long it takes you to generate

material, but like six months. Yeah, it takes a minute. This new set, this new hour that I'm touring right now, it took about six months to get it. Yeah, people don't understand. Like, you do, like, once you put it out, it's dead. Done. So while you're building it, you, like, I like to keep, like, half before they see it. Yeah. And then I start the next half until I phase it out. but once it's out you can't use none of that because the people are coming to see you based off of seeing that so a lot of people who have saw my special

and I was like oh I want to go see them but I don't know if it's no once you see it's dead yeah it'll be all new but not everybody does like that that's the problem and that's why some comedy fans are disillusioned because they go see somebody special then they go watch them live and they're doing half of the special and it's like I get

why you'd be frustrated at him yeah I just paid you to see what I just saw at home yeah Yeah, now I wouldn't do my fans like that. I wouldn't do anybody like that. Let's see it with Faison had to say Taylor Gay. Young Ryan. What's up?

The only reason I'm doing is because I think you're funny and smart. But it looks like you're begging Netflix. Listen, keep doing what you're doing. If you build it, they will come. Okay? And it's not just Netflix. It's not them. It's the world.

the world is what you want. Your audience is building. Netflix wants your audience. So they'll explode you. They'll exploit you in enough time. But yeah, no, brother,

I think your culture has a misconsumption that just because you do a special is special. It's not. A lot of these guys they're not saying anything. Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, Richard Pryor, oh my God, George Carlin. They had quotables, and they didn't have very many.

Rip Pryor had three, and he created the whole special thing. Bill Cosby had two, maybe. Eddie Murphy, two. Just because you're not. do, you know, a lot of these guys do be specials and they're just disposable. I can remember, you know, I can do all Eddie Murphy's.

Ice cream. Woo! It's so many quotas of Bill Cosby. You know, daddy made chocolate cake. It's so many. A special is exactly that special. Kids are going to ring it out.

They're going to sing it at school. People are going to say it at water, you know, the water cooler. It's not just this, hey, black old day, it's a thesis. So just keep what you're doing.

Listen, Dave Chappelle, who's a great comedian, I was on him. I'm like, that shit you're doing ain't no special. And then he hit him. He hit him. he hit it you know ask Dave

I would fucking with him like yo bro no no no no no

not the goat maybe a sheep but no Dave he did those he did the sticks and stones

I mean it was a couple of them I was like wow I was impressed but you know whatever it's just work

I've been doing this 30 hey listen I got some thoughts number one I totally agree with them with the whole special thing. I talk about that all the time. Like, what makes a special special?

How do you make special special special? But I never thought you was vague in Netflix. I never got that impression from you at all. Like, in no way, shape, before him. Because I wasn't. Yeah, I never got it. But one, I think, one, usually when Phazon is addressing somebody, it's typically negative.

That was him being positive. So I do appreciate it. So I'd be like, pops tripping is because people think I look like this nigga. So, yeah, they say, thank God I've lost weight. I don't hear it as much. But whenever, the thing is, I was never begging Netflix. My whole point was, you know, I felt like they turned this down. But look what it does when I give it straight to the consumer.

I believe that it was something that they really wanted to see. Yeah. You know, that was my point. My point wasn't, I'm saying this for Netflix, to come around and make an offer, I had made up my mind. Yeah. I was giving it to the consumer. And once you start sharing it with the world, they're not going to want it anyway.

So that's not what... It's not how it works. Yeah, it's not how... I don't think people understand. And my issue wasn't... I think people are getting misconstruing the type of person I am. I'm a comedy snob. Just like Shelts is.

That's why I know me and him would get along forever. I just want the best products to be out. The reason, and then when he was like, what, like, a special, a special, a special. Well, if you watch it, you'll understand that my material is special. I'm not just going out. I didn't just drop an hour. I wouldn't spend that much money.

If it was just an hour. I would go get the cameras I already have in my house. They just set them up in the comedy club and put it out. Like, the reason I spent so much money into the... This is before tariffs. Yeah, this is before. Yeah, yeah. You spent the money, money. So, no, it is special. But this is the funny part. Like, I've been putting clips out from the special. All of them are doing over a million views

on Instagram or Facebook, on TikTok. So don't tell me it's not special. I don't even have the following that means that I'm automatically supposed to get this many views. It's getting shared like that. People are, the comments are saying, this is brilliant. This is the best interpretation of this joke ever, and that's what special is. The world is so fragmented now, I don't even know if you could ever have that general consensus feeling of one special. That's what I'm saying. Like back in the day, when we saw raw and delirious, like...

The name is different now. Yeah. Yeah, it's more niche. Yeah. The thing that you're into, you're going to have a more specific option. We're back in the day, you got eight specials a year. Then, like, you had to hope that your comedy tastes matched up with one of those specials. Yeah.

Or imagine if there was a... platform because back then there was what four channels yep on TV one of them doing comedy yeah one of them doing comedy so everybody was forced to get their comedy through this one space oh we watching specials on VHS test I saw the lyrics in Rome VCR so I'm at like if my special came out in the world it was the world's only option to see it I would stand on that most people would love or appreciate my body of work that's what makes it special yeah I agree with that. It's funny, right? Because it makes me think, like, and don't get me wrong, I think all of that stuff that

he named was special. I don't remember the Cosby ones that much, though. But if you go back and you watch those now. That's funny not to remember the Cosby. That was crazy. I've tried to let us shit at all. Well, what did you drink when you watched? What? Not remembering when I'm training me. I was like, that's nuts.

That's nuts. I don't remember. I really don't remember the Cosby stand-up special. Yeah. What was the Cosby stand-up special? Cosby was known for albums. He released a lot of comedy albums. But himself is his best body of work. Don't feel bad, dude. He has that effect on people.

Hold on, I'm serious. Did he really have done? I really don't remember. 83 himself. I don't remember. The albums were a big deal. His albums are gigantic. You're in the best possible situation now, like, after the success and the continued success,

hopefully. Because, like, most communities don't know how much they're worth or how much as special of theirs is worth. This is what I told everybody, like, after I did it. It's like, now I have a number. Yeah. Like, I have a number that I know I can generate. So that's what I'm worth. Like, I know what I'm worth.

Like, when you don't put out yourself or not willing to sell it, you're worth what people offer you. Yeah. But now you know what you can generate. So they got to beat that for the next one, unless you want to get their eyeballs, which is also. Which is what I want it. Yeah.

I feel like, look, this is just a cast of bigger net to see. That's what I'm saying. It's not like we had a conversation of they weren't offering me the amount of money I wanted. I would have took the L. Just to get the exposure. Just to get the exposure. So it wasn't, you know what I mean? That's why it's not like, I think people don't understand this was all like, it was all business.

What made it feel kind of personal is whenever like I did the Netflix as a joke festival. and their representatives there and then they were like, oh my God, this was so hilarious. It was good to finally see. What do you mean finally seeing? I had something on your desk for six months. You didn't watch it?

Nope. That was the part that I had a problem. Yeah. But I'm sure they get a lot, though. I don't know if I take that person. But it's not that. Just be like we're not accepting anything right now. Because once you hold it for six months,

there's a shelf life on some of these jokes. Yeah. You know what I mean? And whenever now, I got to go and get my mind, wrap my mind around shopping at other places again, too, and figuring out what we were going to do and everything. You should always be shopping at too. Yeah, but that's why I meant.

That's a mistake I realized I made, too. You don't got an offer and see you got two offers. Yeah. Like, your first deal wasn't even with Netflix, right? No, Amazon. Yeah. But the, like, even with the Netflix one, like, I had another offer from, I had it, you know, just to open it up to everywhere.

It's like, I had an offer from Netflix. Then I had an offer from another streamer. It was, like, way more. and then Netflix didn't want to lose me out. So now they're like, okay, we'll do that. Yeah. So to me, like, that's what I've realized is like, before I would be hurt by that, before I'd be like, why'd you give me this?

You're telling me I'm worth that. They don't even care about the number. It's not even like, they're not even tripping about paying you more. What they're not going to do is pay you more than anybody else is willing to pay. Yeah. You should never take business first. I did. I'm just talking about in general.

Netflix has a job to do. Their job is to get the best part. possible product for the least amount of money. Facts. That's just a fact. And it's your job to negotiate the best amount for you. My guy John O'Brien says something that I really believe. He says that everybody should leave the deal feeling like they got fucked. They got fucked a little bit. Yeah. Both parties should feel like, damn. And that's how you should walk away. That's a good deal. Yes. When both people walk away, it's like, damn, man. That's a good deal. Yeah. If somebody walks away like,

Got them. Because that means you went as low as you wanted, and they went as high as they wanted. That's right. Yeah, so that makes sense. But you're in the best position right now. I'm telling you. You have the number. None of these motherfuckers got the number.

They have no idea. They're on a TV show or something. They think that they're worth something. And then they have to convince the company they are. And then maybe another person comes and makes an offer. And they want to see the number. Any conversation that I have after that. Oh, of course.

Oh, yeah. They definitely want to know the number. It's on Patreon now, right? Yeah, it's on Patreon. Every time I go check it, I just smile, man. I just smile because I knew I was right. Wow. But tell them the number.

Hmm? Tell them the number. I will. When we're done. Yeah. Like on the next negotiation, you just tell them. And then you said, look, I can't do it for any less than this because this is what I can make on my own.

Yeah. You did it both ways. Yeah, this is the crazy part. That's the first time. Your profile raises after the... So this is what I generate, but this isn't the estimate of what I believe it'll generate the second time of rank. Absolutely. Because now my audience is bigger.

You just need another offer. Once you get one, then you got to shop it with somebody else. It takes two offers to get a great offer. You've done it both ways, shows. Which was more beneficial to your spirit? The first one was probably the most beneficial because it was like standing on something. And then. And I think it was most beneficial to your career.

Yeah, 100%. Because it was like a. a, I don't know, it was like a take back my power. Yeah. Like the art meets more than you corporate America. You know what I mean? Yeah, 100%. And I think people got behind that too.

They were like, this is at a time where I think people felt like comedy was more censored. Obviously, now we're not at that time anymore. You can say whatever the fuck you want. But at that time. You can name your next special that, right? My favorite comedian. I'm thinking about it. But yeah, so like that was fun and people galvanized behind that.

But yeah, there was a lot of, and there was a lot of growth behind that, which was awesome. Like because remember after that I come out of that and then I start doing this tour which was kind of crazy And and then Netflix like there was another part of me was like yeah let me just do that shit on YouTube again and uh Really? Yeah because I just I love the access to all the people and I had a conversation with one of my buddies he goes What's the biggest search engine in the world or whatever? What's the biggest streaming platform in the world? I go I go YouTube he goes what's the second biggest and I go I don't know he goes Netflix and he goes So why wouldn't you also want your stuff on that one too? You're already on YouTube.

It makes sense. See if there's some people that don't know about you over here. That's what it was for me. I just wanted to cast a bigger net. Yeah. See, the thing is, but I'm going to tell you also the thing about YouTube that's interesting that I found out is whenever you try to take the power into your own hands, people have grown so accustomed to getting stuff free.

Oh. That you have to fight that now because people. who are looked at as bigger than you like an Andrew Sholes have given it to me for free before. So now, or they're like, we'll just wait them out. He'll put it. He'll put it up here eventually. So I have to deal with that too. Yeah. And then, so it's interesting. And you got to look at it this way too when you're going against the streaming. So brand recognition is so huge to just people. This is like 50 cents get rich a trine is a classic. Absolutely. But if he was selling it to you at a gas station versus having the rollout from Interscope, would you have bought it?

Yeah, there's a validation thing that goes here. Yeah, go. You're not wrong, Ryan, but there's a butt because he was giving us that type of quality before the rollout from Interscope. It was all the mixtapes. Right. It was 50s in the future and the whole G-unit mixtape run that we were buying at the gas station. and the comedy connoisseur knows who I am. Just like a hip-hop connoisseur would get that mixtape from them. But the general public... And then it introduced them to a wider audience. Yeah, they would just go, some dude at a gas station tried that.

And then the hip-hop fan is like 50 cents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's what, like, so now I got to deal with the... Who is this dude crying about Netflix? And then people going, you don't know who that is? So when you come out with your next special, if it's on a screaming platform, there'll be people like,

yo, who is this guy? He's funny. And the other motherfucker's like, you don't know who the fuck, Ryan? Yeah. It's part of the, it's part of your journey. Yeah, it's just the journey.

You're a wrestling character. It makes perfect sense. Like now you're the baby face. You need a heel. Yeah. The baby face is only as good as the heel. Right now the heel is this situation where it's like you have this beautiful special

that you put your money up and then nobody's giving the opportunity to put it out. All right, I'm going to put out myself. The people rally around a baby face. All right, now you already did that. So the next one, it's like, what are we going to do? Are we going to, we're going to go back to those same people that rejected me and then make

them pay you 10 times the amount? Now you got another heel. What's the next one? But even then, even when you go back, right, even this, let's say after the success of this and, you know, anybody who denied it comes back and I make them pay 10 times that, there'll still be people who be like he sold out. Oh, but he should have just kept it independent. Welcome to success, my boy.

Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. There is no right answer to whatever. They will find a way to make you. Absolutely. They got upset at me for putting it on YouTube. After I told them I was going to put it on YouTube. I said to everybody, there's this video I have out.

Like I sent on the pod guy, I posted it on my Instagram. I'm like, yo, if you guys can't afford it or don't have the money, I said, steal it. And if you can't figure out how to steal it is going to be up on YouTube. You did say that because I remember that's when I bought it. So, respect. Yeah. Respect. Like, like, and then there are people, even to this day,

would be like, he scammed them out of it. How can I skate if I told you to scam me? Oh, they were mad because they feel like they already paid for it, but then you gave it to people for free. Like every movie watch. Like every movie in the world. Like every UFC fight we watch, like every single thing. It's like, anyway, but this is the thing with success is,

I think where a lot of that might have come from is, and look, I have empathy for someone who did, for whatever reason, didn't catch that thing. I do have empathy for that person. But I think there's also something like, I went out and I was like, yo, the numbers were crazy. And people don't like hearing about your win wins.

That's why I don't speak on it. People want to know, they're like, how to do? Did you get your money back? I was like, that doesn't matter. Why does that work for rappers with nobody else? Because we don't believe them? Yeah.

Also, they say they'll kill us. Rappers can brag. If you, like, Like, rappers can be like, I'm the best rapper ever, best rapper ever. If I get on any platform, like, I was just on Gilbert Arenas's joint. I was like, yeah, I was like, I don't think nobody's better than me. They were like, who is this cocky bastard? I was like, what do you want me to say?

What do you want me to say? I love Muhammad Ali. I love Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I love Jay Al-Said. I love all the people who I admired were kind of. confident like that. But it was after they got their win. No.

There's only one person I can remember who said it early. Who? Well, two people. T.I. And I love both of them. Tia said he was the kick of the South and everybody was like, huh? I loved him. So being, and T.

And to your point, being that I love Tia so much, and I listen to all his mixtapes and I'm serious and all that. When he said it, I'm like, you're motherfucking right. Y'all. J. Z too. Yeah, Jay C said, who's the Biggie. Biggie. Like, yeah, nobody was saying that.

At that time, the first album, second, second album. Yeah. People were like, wait, what? Nobody said that. Yeah. You're right. Oh, that's what I'm saying. So it's like, you know, I think people forget that this is how I view it.

If I say it, it's out there. I've said it. Now it's up to me to make it, you know, real. To fruition, yeah. Like, if I don't make it come to fruition, then I didn't do my part. It ain't your job to tell me who you think I ain't. and what I'm not. I'm not listening to you anyway.

I would have nobody, nobody gets on stage and does comedy because they think people believe in them. That's not how that works. That's not how that worked. That's not anybody start their comedy. I want to be cocky, man. I wish I could be cocky, though.

Anytime I tried, it don't feel right. All right, let's try it. I can't. It don't even feel right. Talk some shit about the tariffs. But cocky, though. No, because I don't believe in the tariffs. What do you mean?

I don't believe in the tariffs. So when it comes to the space that you occupy, you know, when it comes to radio, right? You don't feel like you that nigga for real. No. Stop. Excuse me? You mean, see, he just wants to hear himself. Well, I want to defeat that's why I work here.

And everything else, you have all that consciousness. I'm confident in my looks. I am extremely handsome, okay? This has nothing to do. Yeah. You really struggle with this show, okay? No, no, to handle. I know I'm 90s.

That is crazy. That's nothing. I'm talking about everything else. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, I'll get there one day. I can see, you cannot find the grass, huh? You can't, you can't find it. That's crazy.

I see it, I see it, and that's very tough. I heard his voice tribbling. What else we got, Taylor? Give me some by any, by all memes necessary. You are, give me something good. What we got? We got an A-O? What's the A-O?

What good... Damn, Taylor. Damn, Taylor. Why you not logged in, Taylor? Damn, Taylor. Why you not logged in, Taylor? They logged you out. The tariffs. Save your logging info?

He's going to go to the ball with it. Get the fuck off the post. Get me out the post. Spinning out of the D is crazy. Yeah. That's a prison move. You gotta spin out. That's prison ball.

But the problem is when you spin out the dick in prison, there's nowhere to go. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That was crazy. There was no, by the way, Dillon Brooks, there was no need for that. That was just so overdramatic.

That was crazy. Man, we need to play Uncle Luke to that shit. That shit is crazy. Damn, Bron. It's time for Bronz. He got to call foul. Like, the ref got to call a foul, bro. You saw that.

That first thrust is insanity. That's insanity. By the way, what is the point is? He brought it from the first. Yeah. That's not a basketball. No, you do with your chest. Yeah.

Who over there bricked up? Who in there bricked up? Who want to play defense on me like Dylan Brooks right now? Who want me to post them in the paint right fucking now? Okay? With Tio Vaughn said that one time, he said if you put a wig on Charlemagne, some NBA player, fuck him.

Salamane, I think, kind of have a... He seemed like, oh, he... A little bit. He seems like a, he have a kind of a womanly look. He's beautiful. Yeah. You think that? Dude, you tell me Charlemagne ain't fine, bro.

Come on, though. I think if you put a, if he was in Japan or, uh, a wig. If he was a, uh, yeah. Oh, you put him in a wig, dog. Some basketball players going to fuck him. You remember what he said that? I remember when he said that. Okay.

Yo, Theo's a genius. He's fucking great. Somebody, I did the podcast I did today, the guy asked me, what's my top five favorite white podcast host? What's the pod you did? What's that shit called? The Mantis Show? The Manta? He's the guy.

I don't know if he pretended. He pretends to be a white supremacist. Okay. He's dressed like a school shooter. The guy in there with security on and the shades. And the other white guys in there with a mask on. Oh, boy. Mattan.

Mattan. You know that? He's an Israeli kid. But he said, dressed like a school shooter and like hip hop clothing didn't cross by by it at all. Nope. No. We know the outfit.

Mattan. We know the outfit. And it was funny because I didn't know what I was walking into. How did you get booked for something like that? They asked me to do it. And then somebody told me to do it. I think it was, I might have been one of Donnell people to somebody. I was like, I, fuck.

The whole interview is a troll. Yeah, you don't watch any of it. You just go in. I like that though. Oh, man. Because they had no idea who the fuck I am. They really must not know. I gotta see how to you.

Troll it. So how to go. How is we doing? Oh, it was great. When do you realize? When do you realize? Probably like four minutes. When I first walked in, because I'm like, first of all, this shit looked like a hostage situation.

Yeah, yeah. You see them videos where they're about to behead somebody. I'm like, I did some bullshit, first of all. So when do you start? Then I see the white dude with the mask and the shades on. Then I see how he's acting. Then I see the. other dudes staying in there like security.

As soon as I sat down, I just kind of like figured it out. So how do you flip it? Just be me. What are you doing? How are you catching me? All types of crazy. Tell me, tell me, tell me. I don't even, you got to watch it.

Tell me. Tell me. Now I really want to watch it. You just got to watch it. I don't know. Give me a thing. Because you're not going to make me uncomfortable with race jokes. Oh, that's right.

You know what I'm saying? Not from South Carolina. At all. You know? And I finally caught somebody. I called him with a Kenya. What happened? I called him with Kenya.

Yeah? Yeah. Kenya bearers? You know what the Kenya is, right? You don't know what the Kenya is? Oh, man. Slammed up. No, no, I can.

It don't work like that. It don't work like that. Because he was trying to say that all black people look alike. He was like, it's like you and academics and Barack Obama. And then he said something about Barack Obama being from Kenya. I was like, well, yeah, he's bothers from Kenya. He was like, Kenya. And I said, Kenya, put my big,

black dick in your mouth. Oh, yeah, yeah. Thank, thank God if you didn't hit me with that. Thank God. It could have. No, once he explained it, I was like, oh, God. This is the first time in his adult life he's caused some level. Yeah.

That guy had no idea how much joy I had in that. That he had no idea how much joy I had. I was like, brilliant, idiot, listeners are going to watch this and be so proud. Nobody else is going to understand why I went so low and so juvenile. But brilliant idiot listeners are going to fucking get it. No, but he was, I mean, the stick is funny, but like I told him, I said, there's no way you're getting more guests with this shit. People got to know this in this shit.

They keep going on. Really? Yeah. I don't, I don't, I never heard him. Yeah. Why did you go on? I couldn't believe it. Usually you ask me about something.

I swear I didn't even think about it. I do. I hit your shoulders to be like, yo, you know such a part, I didn't even think about it. Yeah, you should have. Because it didn't even, I don't know what the fuck I thought it was, but when I went there, you wouldn't it did it? He asked.

I was like, nah. You didn't want to do it? I just don't, it's like, for what? Like, I'm gonna go on so you control me? Like, what is the win? I guess you get a viral moment where he asked you a question, you look crazy? Mm-hmm.

No, not me. No, not you. You can't make me look crazy. I'm on there telling you ever had a cumstash? You want to play, we can play. I'm like, what's up? Let me bring the more. Oh, you love it.

Oh, I love it. I loved every single fucking moment. He wasn't familiar with it. He had his security guard standing there. He did some shit like this. I'm like, yo, why you jacking your security guard off, bro? Like, he was like, this is getting a little weird. Oh, no!

You broke the troll? You broke it, troll! I'm like, oh, this is getting a little weird for you, huh? We just can't guard it. That's nuts. It was fun. I enjoyed it, thoroughly. I enjoyed it.

What else we got, Taylor, gang? Out white boy humor to white boy. Come on, man. That's crazy. Oh, no, look at that big, girl. Oh, yeah. What's the protest for? Oh, you ain't seen this?

Oh, wow. This one. I mean, he's strong. That looked like North Carolina. What the fuck is that at? Oh shit. Yo, Trump really backed off. That dude just walked up to her and smacked the shit out of her.

I am the weapon. That was wrong. That was really fucked up and that's going to be dealt with. And this person's going to be okay. And we're all here. Protests gone wrong. Hold on. What is the protest for, first of all?

Keep going, keep going. Let's just watch it down one more time. Jesus, old man, can put her back on her place. Trump's backing off. Don't you motherfucking up. Get your fucking ass. You can sit your ass down somewhere, goddamn. Look at this first...

The fuck is wrong. You don't got no mother fucking home training. Look this first comment. Is it bad that I've expected the crowd to go, Woo! Stop Ripland. Oh, my God. What was that about then?

What was the protest? I don't know, but who brought that comfy-ass chair to the protest? Look at that long chair. She had somebody who knew that there was about to be a fight. I ain't even going to lie. I don't think I don't know what's funnier. I think for me it's the pose afterwards.

He's staring at it. He was like, yeah, I stuck the landing on that, didn't I? Yeah, because he didn't just smack it. He had to smack it and tell her what she did wrong. That was like a granddaddy, the daughter type of shit. But I'm going to tell you, there's some, you know, men probably want to do that and never will know what that feels like. They'll probably refer to this.

Like, let's say your wife is being a passion and you just can't. What if your wife calls you a fascist? Just kidding, why are you laughing, so? He just walked to the bathroom and me and fantasize real quick. What if your wife called you a fascist after she tried to put a finger in your butt? Yeah, that's a real confusing one. Bro, what is going on? Why is that your...

What did you... Got me in your mind way... I thought we're established what fascist music. You know, God. She tries to put the finger in your butt. Yes. You say no. Then she calls you a fashion.

You know what's? What is even happening right there? Unless you do it, then you're vulnerable enough to let her do it. And then she calls you style. Yes. What type of fashion tree is this? That's crazy. No, that's, that's, whoa.

Yeah, that's, whoa. That's whoa. No, your wife is insane. You got to call the weapon. You got to call the weapon for that one, bro. You got to call the weapon. What else we got Taylor gang? He brought it from his shoulder.

No, that was a good, I mean, if we basing it off technique, that was like the pitch perfect slap. Yeah. He didn't even think. He didn't even think anything would happen to. Nothing. He, you can tell by his,

he didn't go, oh, shoot, they bought the grab. No, no. He felt justified. But yeah, that's one of them old country, rural handmade tales towns. So, like, that's on some, like, you stay in a woman's place. What's you up here doing,

yelling and screaming. That's what that was. I think he thought it was. a man. The fact that... Is they dressed the same, right? She's in like overalls. That's what I was about to say. The fact that the person who was against the protest was in overalls and somebody who looked countryer than her came to slap her. I don't even know. That's why I need to know what the protest is about. This shit do look like a Roseanne Barr,

Spider-Man mean. I think that's a dude. I think he thought it was a dude. He was like, man, this dude tripping. Oh, points at him. I didn't told your ass. What the fuck did I tell you, Jill? Jill, Jill, sit you stupid ass down, Jill. He didn't even build up the confidence. You know, sometimes some people got to, like, stand in front of it and hype themselves up to swing. He took his time, man. They got slow, he walks up to the stuff.

Calmly. Took a breath. I told Jill, if she came up here and did this shit again this week, I was going to smack the shit out of it. I told you, Jill don't motherfucking listen. Who let Jill out again? She ain't take her motherfucking with it. Shout out to the company that made the glasses, though. Uh-oh, yeah.

Because they stayed on, did that? By the way, look at her face. He's done that to her millions of times. She knew. She knew that she had did something wrong, bro. Like, she knew that he was coming to smack the shit out of her. Look how he's, she don't even make a noise. She don't say, what are you doing?

She just stands there, like, let me brace for impact. My favorite person is the person afterwards who wanted her to get slapped, but have to act like they didn't want that to happen. No, that was really bad what happened. That is unacceptable, guys. I wouldn't have been able to do it without laughing. Yo. So they take their time. No, that dude missed the whole slap.

The dude bent down to grab the napkin. Watch this. Watch this. This is kind of wild, poor guy. I want to know what the fuck they're protesting. I see a sign that says save democracy. What is that sign saying to back that they're holding up? So it seems this was in Vancouver.

Restore for it. It was Canada. Vancouver? Yeah. Wow. It was an anti-Trump protest. The woman interrupted. Watch this guy walk down, bend over,

misses the slap, gets up, and says, get the fuck out of here. Oh! He didn't see the slap. Ma'am, you're going to have to leave. Yeah. Why would they be having that in Canada? They got plenty of reasons in Canada.

Anti-Trump rally? Yeah. Do they? Because he... Yeah. First day, yeah, yeah. Well, he didn't... He didn't hit them with the tariffs, though.

Exactly. Oh, he's just going to take the whole country over, according to him. Not take it over, but just incorporate it. Yeah, call it the North of America. Exactly. Pull up. I didn't even know that there was areas in Canada that look like this, so I can see why Trump would want it.

Yeah. Oh, that's how I know you've only been to Toronto. Toronto is because the rest of Canada is Texas. Yeah, the rest of Canada. I mean, Vancouver, no. It's like Montreal, Vancouver. In Toronto. In Toronto, no, but the rest, like, you go to Alberta,

it's oil country. This is Texas. They love Trump. Yeah. They're a Republican as fuck. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I don't fucking run a candidate.

Drake, Ben, I know it's a no-fly zone for me. I don't even risk that shit. Why, you don't go out there? You think that they don't love you out there? Yeah, I'm doing it. I'm sure they don't run. Yeah. You got to go.

What else? I didn't know they knew me. I'm going to tell you what I love most about Canada. It's like you can be in a room full of black people and ain't none of them African-American. So you just like, it changed my perspective. It made me see my black. My American blackness, well, I didn't realize how American black my perspective was or my worldview was. And then I performed there and they were like, we don't get it.

And I was like, oh, I thought because you looked like me. That you had the same experience. Yeah, that your experience, because our country's touch that you had somewhat of an idea. Dude, I'm from Jamaica. Yeah. I'm from Ghana. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Black American experience is a unique experience.

It's a unique experience. It's, they help my comedy. Not to have such a narrow view. Yeah. Yeah. So you don't get that when you go to other cities? Like, just even going to like a New York or, uh, everybody watches the same TV now.

So the only difference in, like, I'm about to do New York this weekend and then do Greenwich, yeah, Gramis City. Yeah, Graham's up here. And then I'm going to do Cleveland in the next week. New York is really diverse. So you come for the diversity. You hope that you get all these pockets of people to get in one big. building so to give you an idea of how it's going to look whenever it goes out. But it's still

very New York. And then you go to Cleveland to get the every man. This is what, you know, everything looks like around Cleveland in Ohio. Yeah. Right here. And you get the, like, the thing that Gail said is not going to offend anybody in Cleveland. Oh, no, hell. Yeah, but you've got to learn how to navigate that in New York. So that's the difference. Yeah. New York significantly more liberal. Well, the moral of this video is you don't hit women, even if they look trans. You know. Taylor, what else we got? We don't even know if that's a woman low-key. Yeah. Well, he didn't ask what she identified as. You're being rude. It is. There's a lot of Roseanne in her. Yeah. You don't see a lot of Roseanne in her, bro? I do see it. I do see a lot.

Like, that was Dan slapping his shit out Roseanne. Let's do you. So what do y'all think made her so confident that she wouldn't be slack? Because she yelled in him and like kind of flex. Yeah. Was it that... The crowd. Was it the crowd? Was that he would never hit a woman? What was it? No, I think it was the crowd.

She was wrong about whatever it was. But what was the thing that she thought was protected? Look what she yelled at, she turns to the guy right here and goes, and you're flexed on them. You're not going to hit me here, Jim. You're not going to hit me in front of all these people. You're right. I am the weapon. I am the weapon.

God damn. What else we got Taylor gang? What else we got Taylor gang? That's really it unless you want to see. What did you use to call Usher? Domestic Terrorist. Yeah. Oh, is that true that that woman got divorced?

Yeah, that's how I was going to... Wow. About time, somebody fucking stood on some business. What happened? Um, well... Is that, I think I saw that story. The guy divorced his wife? Yeah.

Yeah. Shout out to him. Oh, the woman who was begging him to kiss her. Shout out to him. Good. Go to the fucking Usher concert. don't know how to fucking act. I should don't care about you. Man, I hate that.

I hate that for her. What? These men are weak, man. The husband claims the woman that never kissed him in public and he was shocked that she could do that to a complete stranger. Yeah, see.

When, she kisses him? No, she's just, like, begging for it. Yeah, like. I think the men of today are just weak. In this situation, the only thing that man had to do was just cheat on that. But to just leave her.

Might have been looking for a reason. Yeah. He might have to leave her. He really had a hole pass. Yeah, like, she got, she threw the alley out. He started it. Like, oh my God. Why does he say that he kissed her in public?

I saw the Usher thing. I was so broken up about it that I went out. I had to do something. I had to do something. A 45-year-old man is filed for divorce after his wife mistakenly kissed American singer during a live show in London. According to the heartbroken husband, his wife has never kissed him in public, not even once, yet she gave that to a stranger in front of over 20,000 people. with 20,000 people.

He said the pain cut deep. It felt like she respected a stranger more than me. Though the kiss may have been unplanned, it broke something in him, he described it as one mistake too painful to forget. Nah, he wanted the divorce, sir. Yeah, of course. They having kissed in public one time? Who gives them?

Man, people fantasize about famous people. And Usher has been a sex symbol for Lord knows how long. And that woman would never thought in her wildest dreams that that man would be in her face like that. Yeah, she just got overwhelmed. She got overwhelmed. He got overwhelmed. He's sexually assaulted him. Right. He wasn't forcing her because she's sexually assaulted him. There you go. That's the reason. They didn't kiss. It wasn't consensual. No. She went for it. She didn't ask us his permission. That's what I'm saying. This dude, man, these dudes are a week. I would have saw that. As soon as I saw that, I've been like, hell yeah. I am the weapon.

I wouldn't as like, yeah, whatever happened. Oh, yeah. Teddy was on some other stuff, though. Teddy Pendergrass kissing women in front of their partner's husband at his concert. And then told her, told the dude, she said, she got some lips. She's dangerous. Boy, boy, that's a big guy you got right now. I'll tell you what she said later. You better keep holding on to her. Man, what will you do if the woman does this in front of you?

Later, will you try this at all? Well, I mean disrespectfully, Chris, you're from Philadelphia. Yeah. Tell us some things about Teddy Pendergrass. He's great. Tell us a famous Teddy Pendergast story. What comes to mind? It might have been easy for him to go no further than this.

Yeah. Have you heard anything, Ryan? Wait, me, he does... About Teddy? Yes. I just remember he was in a tragic car accident. A tragic car accident. Why was he in a tragic car accident, Ryan?

Because he transitioned into a wheelchair after that. There's a lot of transitioning going on in that car, Ryan. Did you know that? It was all a transition. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was in the accident.

They transferred him to a hospital. And then he came back out. Mm-hmm. He was never able to move without wheels again. Let me ask chat GPT. Wait. I don't even know what's going on. What?

What? What? Wait. What? Oh, Teddy was literally telling him to sing his song. And after they would sing it, little bit of it, he would kiss him right on the lips, right in front of a man. No, no, no, that's...

Yeah, that's the clip, but are you... What are we saying about Teddy Pendergrass? Asked. Was... Oh. Okay, this is the history lesson, guys. On March 18th, 1982, renowned sole singer Teddy Pendergrass was involved in a serious car accident in the East

Falls section of Philadelphia. While driving his Rosebury Silver Spirit, Pendergrass lost control of the vehicle, which collided with a guardrail, crossed into the oncoming lane and struck two trees. The impact left from trapped in the record. for nearly an hour resulting in a spinal cord injury that paralyzed him from the chest down. At the time of the accident,

Pendergrass was accompanied by Toneka Watson, a transgender nightclub performer. What? Watson sustained minor injuries and was able to walk away from the sky. In a 2014 interview, she recounted that the car began accelerating uncontrollably before the crash, leading her to believe

there was a mechanical issue. So, let me ask you a question. Too many sticks, yes. Why is it? Why is it? That there isn't enough conversation about the CIA sciop. I don't even know if it's a sciop,

but attack on successful black entertainers that every time a black entertainer reach a certain level of success, they sick a trans on them. How often have we seen this happen? Happen to the hate his name. Had it happened to . Yes, it did. Oh, it did.

All right. I don't remember . Look it up. Google. I don't want to Google that one. Listen, I'm not agreeing. I'm the nerd. The nerd in me want to know if that's a thing.

Well, hopefully not racist in me wants to know that it's not a... Yeah. All I'm simply saying is... He just wants... You can't even tick her all the work. If Teddy kissed a woman in front of their... If Teddy kissed the woman at his concert, there's a reason to be mad at your woman for kissing Ted.

I can't even imagine. I've broke up with women for less. Damn. Significantly. Let's talking to it. a nigga too long. What you mean? Yeah.

Are you looking up face? Look at the face. You want to the guy that get mad when your girl laugh or somebody else? No, fuck no. Oh. No. I'm the type of, like, this is the thing with me. I'm like...

I was wrong about that . I know you were. That's why I told you looking up is not a thing. I never heard that. It's not a thing. Trust me, because you can't ever beat that allegation. It's on you forever. Who else did it happen to?

Huh? I don't even want to talk about this. Gray black men, they sick a trans on them. It's always cars, though. It is always cruising. They're cruising and driving, and then they pull up and there's a trans. I think there's another one I'm not thinking.

And there's all, the police always is just. And they're ready to arrest you. Yeah, always ready to pull them over. Right, though? I didn't even think about that until, and I, and it's not just, who else was it? I'm trying to think there was another person. Was it with a trans?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Did that? Talks about it, though. Okay, so it's . With a trance, . You might be missing out. Oh, my God.

That's why I stay out of the HOV land. And I just, you just got to ride solo, bro. You can't risk it. My career depends on it, dog. You don't know, I think you might be missing something? Yeah. Stay out of the ATOVILF. Maybe that's what makes you great, Brian.

Maybe that's what makes you great. Maybe you in shows haven't gotten the last infinity store. There's only one way to the top. Well, I tell you. Well, I tell you. Yeah. I'm just going to, you know, I'm just going to wait the shelves to do it because I like to follow the blueprint. I'm really good at following this blueprint.

That's the blueprint. I'm away. Why do you speak over? Why are you bringing up with a girl for talking to a guy too long? No, it's not talking to a guy too long. I'll give an example. let's say we're in a club

and she goes sit in another nigger section is over I mean that's pretty reasonable right well what kind of girls you're going for I gave you an example

if she asked for an example I gave her an example now you're questioning the women no oh okay hypothetically if that happened that would be a break upwithable offense

offense and I was like no not talking to him too long something along these lines By the way, the section conversation is very important because I think when you ask what type of woman it is, I just think it depends on what the woman is into. Because let's just say the woman is into like space and planings and shit. Neil deGrasi got a section. Yeah.

She's going over to Neil deGrassey section. How can she not? How can she pass up this opportunity? No, I could know if the world is flat or not. You know what I'm saying? She in the politics. She's in the politics and, you know, Pete Buttigieg over there in the section. Well, she invited you two over there.

She's going, but you ain't concerned. So my question would be, my question would be shoes on other foot. Somebody's a really big fan of mine. And the girl just feels compelled to come to my section. And sit and talk to me about comedy and all of this. stuff, how long can me talking to her without acknowledging my girl, how long can that go? Depends how many he-h-h-h-hs? What?

Depends how many hees? So this is my career, this is a fan of my, this is, yeah. But it's one of those things like, oh, this is my, like, it shouldn't. Why, this is my fan? Yeah. You know this is a fan. You know what's fair. No, you can be like, oh, me is my girl.

When she came up and said, I absolutely love you. Yeah, my girl loves me too. This is great. No, this is interesting. It makes it see how fast it made sense for her. No. Whenever it was on the other women. It's funny.

Women don't think other women have genuine interests when they're talking to you. Like if a girl's talking to us, they can't just love comedy. That's true. That's sexes. Yeah. Right?

Like, oh, the only reason this girl's alive is to fuck me. No. Like, my jokes. I don't disagree with what Shultz is saying, but as a man, like, if a woman comes over, as soon as you introduce,

this woman to your girl, it's cool. How do you introduce them with a guy? How do you introduce them to your girl? Like, what do you say that? Oh, you say that. Oh, yo, how are you? Yo, just my wife's. We sitting beside you?

What if they're really hot? Will you just say your wife's name and said? And by the way, only women do that. Men don't do that. If a man walks up to you and just starts talking to your girl, he fucked already. I'm telling you that right now. I acknowledge your man person.

Who is that? I acknowledge you. I acknowledge you. Yeah. Even at meeting greets, the woman will walk up. Like, I'm a great family. I look at the dude. What's up on?

What up, bro? 100%. Thank y'all for coming out. Yep. To the show. I have been to Travis before. He felt offended. Oh, tell me more.

Travis is gay. So we're at the Kendrick Lamar concert a couple years ago. And this guy comes up to me. He was nice looking. And he just came and was like, Taylor. He was nice looking. He was like, oh, you're Taylor. Like, what's up?

How are you? Travis is right behind me. He didn't acknowledge the trap at all. Until after I'm like, yeah, that's like, like, nice to me, blah, blah. And then he's just like, okay, my bad, bro, what's up? Like, right after the interaction. But he felt, he was like, I could have been your man.

Like, why did he not acknowledge me or nothing? Because you look gay, Tras. He don't think so. All right. All right, Trap. That's what happens when you start being versed. You still look like a man when you were top. When you start being versed and being a bottom, you know.

This guy came out, he was more muscular and everything else too. So no offense to you, Trapp. but he probably wasn't. Yeah. Intimidated. Yeah. I don't give a fuck. I'm telling you that's disrespect.

If a man walks up to your girl and just starts talking to her, like there's nothing, don't acknowledge you, and she don't even introduce you? What if I'm holding my girl's hand, do I have to introduce you? Yes. What? See, ain't it obvious we together? This is my. Why do you not feel compelled to? I'm not.

I'm just talking to a person who said that why I'm talking to somebody too long the issue. But what's too long? See, now, why do you have a question there, but you can see fault in this other situation? Is what I can't wrap my mind around. I don't get it. She don't even know she getting set up. She just keep answering the question. That's what I love the most about it.

She just keeps walking right into it. I love it. By the way, your pregnancy hair is amazing, Taylor. Yeah, yeah. Phenomical. I was like, you don't even need that china hair. Backs. That's what I thought.

When you brought up in there, I was like, you don't know. I got inches, but I'm talking about for protective styles. You got what? Inches. That's crazy. I thought you got pregnant. Yeah. Wait, why do you just say?

No, this. He was like, Yo, we all got inches over here. That was crazy. That was crazy. Let's pay some bills, mate. Wait, if Taylor's got inches, there was the CIA come to you directly to put you in somebody's car?

Or that's the, that's the combo we need to have? That's, is that a... I'm talking about hair. That is, wait a second. What would they even... What would they even call that program? Where is Gail King when you're new? Project?

What in the sierra? Project? One of y'all said. I'm not saying nothing. I think I'm disappointed in Gail. I think... I'm not, Gail. I think you should have.

I'm not to Gale. You know, free Gail. Gail's 70 years old and about to go to space. You don't get me a fuck no more. Gail, and Mateo is a comedian, number one. Number two, he is a homosexual man. Number three, he laughed. He liked it.

He was like, Gail, you are her. Yeah, he seemed to take it on. Guys, there was no white women present during this joke. They were the victims of the joke. I actually think we should check in with them and see how they feel about it. What type of fragel maggots? Wait a minute.

Guys, there's no white woman present. I think what we need to do is check in with them and see how they feel. That's the most important thing with jokes. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I agree, but I feel like you're being a real fascist right now.

I think you're taking it a little far. You know, I think you're taking it a little far. I have to protect my white women. Yeah. I have to protect my white women. Let's pay some bills, man. Shout out to who's this, Taylor. We need to zoom in.

Make it big? That would be a good movie, though. Just showing how the CIA sets people up with just scandals, period. Bro. Because it's literally all the same scandals. The same playbook. It's the same fucking playbook every goddamn time. Too powerful.

Either that, are we really missing out? Listen, listen. What you mean? Listen. We really miss it. I'm going to get the double meat next time. This episode is brought to you by Accenture. When your advertising operations fall out of sync, everything else follows.

He's saying material-wise, I think it's ready to go, but I got to see. I got to run it by New York. There we go. There we go. What it is, because... That's a big spot to do some... new material. I'm touring the material. I think it's, I think it's ready to go. It's not like,

it's not the first time I'm doing it, but New York can tell me what I, what I need to know as far as this one. There's a, there's a lot of, uh, uh, material about a particular, uh, just a particular subject that I believe it'll be, uh, what's the subject? You don't mind sharing, or you don't want to share yet? Uh, just like Gil King. Oh, okay, okay, okay, I like that. And I think that New York is a space that you have so many different walks of life, and people are vocal about their opinion. So if you're doing it right or doing it wrong, they'll, if you do it right, you'll know.

If you're doing it wrong, they'll let you know. If you use the wrong words or if you could have worded it better or how you particular, they'll let you know. And I'm always open to that. You know, one of my bits that did very well, me talking about my son being nonverbal, whenever we thought he was on the spectrum, I used the word normal when I first wrote that joke. I was like, the doctors came back and said he was normal. And somebody was like, don't say it.

Yeah. Okay, he was normal. And that little bitty change made the joke so much more palatable for so many more. So what do you say? that they just said that he wasn't on the spectrum. That's all I had to say. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you.

But that's the advantage of doing the material, like you said earlier in all these different places. It just gets that, the slice gets that much thinner. You just execute the joke so much better. It's also the tougher thing, like when you're performing for your audiences, as the more popular you get, the more often you do that.

It makes it harder because those people know you and they know what you're trying to communicate. Yes. So it is Yes, this is cool. I'm excited, man. So can you say straight when somebody's gay? Yeah, but you just can't call straight people normal. Yeah, got it.

Even though we are. Because when you say somebody is straight. Does it suggest that other people aren't normal for not being straight? If you're saying this person is straight, then you're crooked. Yeah, they are crooked. They are. That's the opposite of straight, right? The opposite of straight is crooked.

Yeah. So for me, that's always the thing when people are. Oh, I fell. My bad. I don't know. Alex just wants to touch you. He wants to make sure you're not a little crooked. Mm-hmm.

Nice nails, Alex. Oh, whenever. Good way to acknowledge you. His fraggle maggotry. He's on the spectrum, by it. He's on the, he's on the game spectrum. Yeah. So, so my.

He is. So for me, I don't mind Chris. criticism of my jokes in that way if it helps me do the joke better. Yeah. You know, but to insinuate that I mean something like... Yeah, that's where it's unfair. Yeah, that I mean-spirited. I hate that.

Give me the opportunity to correct it. Yeah. Because I may not know, I may not have known that this is, I'm fine-tuning something. They're not just trying to correct you, though. They're trying to get, they're trying to dunk on you. Exactly. They're trying to get their clicks. It's not about helping you.

Yeah. It's not even about helping you or helping your kid. That's a fucked up thing. Yeah. They're using you so that their community can be like, oh, wow, look how precious we are. Exactly. So when I say I'm open to criticism, just understand it's like, oh, if you had done it this way, I probably would have, you know, give me that criticism.

So I can go back and, because I'm not going to not do the joke. So you could either help me do the joke to where it's more palatable for you or you. I'll just accept the fact that you hate it. That's it. That's it. And you can live with them hating it. I can live what you hating it. But if they got something that makes it better, it's like, yeah, sure.

Yeah. Yeah, but that don't make it better. Like, making it better, it is adding funny to it. No, but what I realized is it didn't take away from the funny just to change one word. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And whenever, actually, it was the month and the date of for... Deep Pride? No, no, no, no.

For people on the spectrum. Oh, oh, damn, I forgot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I released the clip, like, on that. that day and there were so many parents who were appreciative of that bit. Yeah. And to think I could have posted that exact same bit with one word in it. That would have turned them off.

And it would have turned all of them off. I may have like 50,000 more fans just because I took that one word out. So I think that's a great story too. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, I think sometimes because they forget that we're sensitive about our art and that we're passionate about our art that we lack empathy. Yeah. And we don't.

It's just, you know, be respected. But what if you have one of your next shows, a lot of nonverbal people come out and you up there thinking you bombing, but you don't know that they just can't make no noise? No, that wouldn't bother me. That wouldn't bother me. I just think they didn't get it.

I convinced myself, I'm not one of these people who bomb and feel it at the time. I'd be like, oh, they don't get it. But then after the show, they pass you a note after the show. About how amazing it was. Yeah. I'd probably write on there I could tell. And like, no, man, I think comedy brings so much joy to so many people.

That's the point. That's why I hate fun killers. Yeah. Let the comedians cook if they fuck up a recipe that's on them. Let us decide. And I wanted to be, I wanted to be decided by just what's funny. and what's not funny. Yeah.

Now, I saw you say something on the pivot that I agree with. If you do offend somebody, I know that's not your intention. So if somebody comes to you and says, hey, you said this to me, it hurt my feelings. I don't know how much you should adjust for that one person, but just acknowledging that one person may represent some other people is cool.

But I don't want you to stop being funny. Exactly. Like, you're allowed to get hurt. A lot of times comics act like the people, the audience aren't allowed to feel whatever they feel. Like, you're allowed to feel whatever the fuck you feel. I can't control your feelings. I want you to know that my intention is to make you laugh, but if you don't laugh, that's okay, too.

But, and if it's just me and you, I'm not going to keep saying that thing that hurts your feelings in a room. Yeah. Like, that's a psycho. But I'm not going to stop doing the joke elsewhere. But that's when it's the most fun. Well, it depends. Amongst friends, though. If they want to stay in the room.

Yeah. So this is the thing. People got to understand everything that you hear, you're going to filter through your trauma and your experience. And you, and that's fine. However that makes you feel is completely understandable. but then try to make it seem like you know my intent. That's where things get in time. That's where, yeah, that's where we're like,

I was like, you're not me. You don't know how I, what I was thinking, or feeling whenever I said this. Just say that your experience, through your experience, this came off as insensitive to you. And that's fine. Don't tell me you know what I meant. Yeah.

How fuck do you want tell me what I meant? Bro, this is my favorite thing when they're like, they're actually using jokes to be racist. You know how hard it is to be a comedian? Yeah. You think I've worked 20 years to be racist? It's easier to just be racist. I wouldn't be racist.

It would be the easiest of the world. The dumbest people on the planet of racist, you think I spent two decades trying to figure out how to be racist good? And the funny part is like it would be that, you know how much harder it is to find your tribe through comedy? Racism, you know exactly where that's right there. That's right. Right there.

So I did this whole thing that has the most diverse fucking audience in comedy. But this is life's a war shack test, man. Whatever people already feel, they're just going to see it on you. Right. I just need to accept that shit. Church announcements for me. Third annual Black Effect Podcast Festival happening Saturday, April 26th.

That shit is $20,000 now because it trumps tariffs that are 125%. All the other side, you know what I do wonder about this, though? You remember when COVID was causing people to be on aid, like hating Chinese people, hating Asian people, shit? Do you think this is going to call that? The answer is yes.

Yeah. I do feel that. I thought about you that thing because I didn't want to worry you because, you know, you've got mopeds and shit to be worried about. But I was thinking about that because it feels like there's a line being drawn in the sand and he's pointing the finger at them and making them seem like this is the enemy. The way we should be looking at it is business. This should be, we should be looking at this as a business deal, not something that everybody should be ready to go to world.

Yeah, I agree with that 100%. And obviously, we don't want Asians to be persecuted. But this is the funny part. It makes me laugh at how dumb people could be. So because we having an issue, our country, you know, is having an issue with the Chinese government about tariffs, which we don't have any say in. But it impacts us. Yes, and Chinese and Chinese people, Chinese American and Chinese people. They have no say in any of this.

For you to see that, your goods go up and you go, I'm going to punch somebody Chinese in the street as if they have something to do with it. I agree. You have to be a complete ninkampo. I agree. But I agree. Tell your men, stop the terror. I agree with everything Ryan just said, but we just talked about it, right? Projecting.

So you're just mad and you got to be mad at somebody. So all you know is China, this person's Chinese. That's bad. I'm going to project. Yeah. Not even Chinese most of the time. Right. Like they can tell the difference at the time.

No, that's fucked up. And then it's like it's harder for us to make jokes about them because then people take it serious. And then we're the real victims. That's, I think, we got to the heart of it. We had a good six months. just great jokes, you know? And now I feel like it's coming to a hole because it's a little terror fish

and what they need to do is pay them terrorists so we can get back to these jokes. And it's fucked up because you don't know if now Chris is getting hit by the mope because he can't see or because he's jaywalking him.

You know what I'm saying? This shit is fucked up, Chris. No, that is fucked up. Can't you invite any type of actual Asian on the show just to... Chris, you know, whoa! Wait a second, wait a second. Why is it up to us to find the Asian?

Wait a second. You're really not Asian? Right. I'm not interested people. No, no, no. Right. Come on. He's Asian.

He said, go get a real one. I was like, are you not? Are you not a real? You're Asian, bro. You're Asian. What's the cost of getting Asian on the show nowadays? Are you doing... Too expensive.

Are you doing the Dominican, me no black? Like, you're a certain type of Asian, but you don't, you don't identify... He's a Jewish Asian. Oh, okay. So I was wondering. I was like, what is that? I'm looking dead at you. That's an Asian man.

What is happening? What is happening? So we have an Asian on the pot every single day. We've never not had an Asian on the pot. Happy to be here. We know. So you think you get somebody with more Asian in them, Chris? Just a touch.

Okay, who? Who do you think? Who would be a good person to explain this? Because I saw you had somebody on there. He had an Asian name, but he's not Asian. No. Shaman? Chamath.

Chimaf. Pineapple, Porta Pottie, platypus. What about you guys from Daily Shrine? Ronnie. I don't know if Ronnie, I don't know. Oh, I love Ronnie. I like Ronnie, too. I don't know if, I don't know.

I don't know if Ronnie wants to be a representative of all Asians. Yeah. I don't know. He was doing a pretty good job. Wasn't someone running? Oh, yeah. Ronnie. Andrew Yan.

Oh, I love his name? Ronnie was running. They're running for mayor. I say, yeah, Ronnie. Oh, is. You're talking about Andrew Yang. Andrew will be a good person. Now,

now Andrew would be a perfect person to explain what's going on, Thank you. Andrew, why do you have him on Flagrant? I invited him on when he was running for mayor. He didn't come on. I told him if you don't come on, you'll lose.

Damn. All right, well, what else we got, Taylor? Damn. That was so crazy. He said it's so matter-of-factly, too. You know what's Drake? Mayor Adams came on. Who?

Mayor Adams came on, and that's how you know he's going to win. That was good. I don't know if he was going to win, though. Come on. You all going to vote for that guy who got accused of sexual harassment and then step down?

Or you're going to vote for the guy? Which politician is that? I'm just saying, or you're going to vote for the guy that got accused of all the corruption and then stood Saul? Toose down. I heard Matt Adams say that on Flagrin

and he didn't say it quite like that, but he said, and that did make me think like, yo, what you running for? You know what I'm saying? Like, if you... You step down. You got the accusation.

Step down, and now you want to run again. Why? Why did you step down in the first? If someone else makes an accusation, you're going to step down again. I bet you Chris probably supports him. I'm not going to lie, though. I saw Governor. I saw Governor Hogan.

No, I support Brad Lander. Who? Brad Lander. Brad Lander. The councilman is from Brooklyn. Okay. I respect that. Thank you.

What's her name? What's his name? Brad Lander. Brad Lander. Brad Lander. Let me look that up. Brad, who I'm voting. You a lot of public right now.

What about Zohan? No, but they asked someone connected to his camp wants to come on Breakfast Club, so I got to send you there. Oh, yeah. I don't know much about that. Was his name? Zohan. No, I'm going to tell you who I'm voting for, right?

Who you're going for? I'm voting for Corinne Fisher for mayor of New York City. Yo, shout out Corinne Fisher. I'm voting for Mayor Adams, but I support you 100% and I agree with you. Don't you think a citizen should run, not a politician? Listen, I love correct. Wouldn't you rather have a citizen of New York City? Bro, it sounds like a joke, but she's dead serious about this.

Every time I've heard Corinne talk. Yeah, yeah. About running for mayor? I'm like, oh, she's not really doing this as a joke. No, no, she's dead serious about it. Actually, I might vote for Corinne, yo. If Mayor Adams doesn't bring 11 from Miami to New York City, then I don't know. You got, you know, the clock is ticking.

Bro, listen to this. I listed this yesterday. He really said that, too. This is Corinne Fisher yesterday. Listen. She said she's running for mayor in New York because she's sick of the status quo. I'm sick of the status as well. I think we continually have politicians who are elected

who make big promises, and then when it comes time to actually implement certain policies that they promised us, get our vote to be able to do it. I think this is really out of right now. Climate change and environmental justice are two really pressing issues that we are facing. In fact, I would say that environmental with environmental issues are,

is the number one thing that I asked about when I'm campaign specifically by Jim Z. And so I'm never disappointed that so many of the flashed regimes in this race aren't here today. I think it really speaks to what they can hear about. I think though you're fine asking for your vote, but push-punks of shove, not only going to go to areas where they can guarantee a vote or they can guarantee a donation, and that's not acceptable. So I'm going to give a round of applause to everyone who made it up here today.

Telling you, Corinne for Mayor. Yo, Corinne, I got it, man. I'm all for voting for idealistic people because I like for them to get in. They're like, oh, you make all these promises and then we get in and you don't do it, then they get in and realize,

oh, it isn't what I thought it was either. I'm with that. But why not let, but I know that they'll try. But that's what I'm saying. That's why I'm all for doing it, because at least. You need some hope. Yeah.

There you go. You can't have this disillusions, you know, career politician. I don't like career politician. Why do you think Trump won in 2016? Exactly. It turned, won the block four years later. Now let's do some asking idiots, Taylor, gang. Okay, for Lauren underscore Davies has a question for you, Ryan.

Okay. Why he looked like Tracy Morgan? Uh, I don't. So I don't know why I look like Tracy Morgan to people. Tracy Morgan doesn't always look like Tracy Morgan, so I don't have an answer for that. Have you ever gotten that before? Probably.

I'm not a big, me and Tracy Morgan, I'm not a big Tracy Morgan guy. Really? Yeah. You had a little running or something? No, I was in his green room one time. And somebody was like, one is open an axe where like, Ryan, do you want to take a picture with Tracy? And he was like, of course he does.

He's been puppy dogging me all night. I'm the reason he do comedy. I was like, wow, you really jumped out there. I don't think anybody's ever seen my comedy and went Tracy Morgan. I can see the influence. And, like, it just turned me off so bad. Did you take the picture? Of course not.

Of course not. Puppie dog and me is wild. Yeah, he's been following your puppy dog and me. He's following me around. That's actually a compliment to your eyes, though. Yeah. You're saying you got puppy dog eyes. Yeah.

You might have just called, he should have just said, dreamy. So I was just like, I was like, man, that's, I've never told any, I've never had anybody tell me they were my biggest influence before. Like, you know, I just wasn't ready for that. I didn't know how to respond to that, you know. I'm your biggest influence. Yeah, he said, I'm the reason you do comedy. Wow. Ricky, Ricky says, does he have ADHD?

And if so, how does he deal with it? I've got a lot of stuff going on. I feel like you're the least ADHD person. Of the group. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was like, how they pick up on that. They've been like, I think they're watching like some of my mannerism and stuff like that. Oh, so I don't know.

Yeah. It's not even from alive. Oh, yeah. So he looks, you put the ADHD fields on it or something? Yeah. Talking about Taylor. Next question, Taylor. What else we got, Taylor?

Troy TBS says, What is one major personal goal that you still want to accomplish in life? Ooh, that's a good one. Go for it, Ryan. The garden. Yeah. I think if the garden isn't on, because when you're talking about greatness, all-time greatness, it's the garden. Except for next.

I don't even want to, this is the funny part. I don't even want to do arenas. It's just the garden. Just the garden. I don't do theaters everywhere else. I'll do eight shows at a theater. But in New York, I'll do the garden. Was the garden everything you thought it was, yos?

Yeah, yeah. And more. Yes. It's just so like, I was on such a high, man. It was incredible. But it's also like what we build it up to be. You know, it's... What's your major personal goal show?

You know, it's funny just watching people grow because I remember show selling our Radio City and that was such a big deal like, oh shit, show showed our radio city, but did I remember you saying, you know what we're taking it next? Yeah. And he did it.

That's how I remember that. He did it. So do you have another personal goal? Career-wise or just light. Personal is dad, man. I want to be great dad. I know that sounds cliche, but that is the goal right now 100%. I haven't even started digging into, like, material and the next things I want to do.

I have certain things career-wise that I want to do. But, yeah, it's dad right now. That's 100% focus. That's what I'm saying. I'm trying to do the garden first, and then I'm going to focus on my kids. Yeah. That's what. You have the same thing.

Oh, you the blueprint. It's just all about character. Like, you know, being the, I want to grow and continue to be the most authentic version of myself possible. And you know how we always talk about the old you get, the less of a fuck you get. I'm really looking forward to that.

Oh, yeah. I'm really, really looking forward to that. Michael underscore Cornett wants to know Ryan. What is your take on mopeds in New York City? I'm not a big New York City fan. Damn, we need the whole city? Yeah. If you're from where I'm from, then you get it.

It's just, it's a lot here. Yeah. It's a lot. It can be overstimulating. Yes, it's very overstimulating. So, like, I don't want mopeds anywhere much like, you know what I mean? I didn't even come in with this take, but I had a conversation with a Chinese homeboy of mine. who works at this podcast, he was telling me, he was telling me about the dangers of mopeds.

And since then, I've been kind of on board. I'm asking chat, GPT, will Chinese tariffs impact mopeds? Let's see what it says. Let's see what it says. Yes, recent U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports are significantly impacting mopeds, particularly electric models. In April 2025, the U.S. government increased tariffs on very much. various Chinese goods, including electric scooters and mopeds,

to rates as high as 89% to 104%. Oh, this Chris is behind this shit. Oh, I've always had faith in my leader, Donald Trump, was this. Never, never doubted him. Listen, man. And the episode on, man. Listen, I want to shout out to Mel Robbins, too, man. Oh, yeah.

I saw that. Yeah, I did Mel Robbins podcast this week. Make sure you go check out Mel Robbins podcast, man, salute to Mel. She'll be on Breakfast Club this week, too.
