Yeah, because, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, WJF Media Studios is a hazard, bro. Wow. It is a hazard. Wow. I just tried to walk in the door. I almost sliced my finger off. For us by us.

Say again? For us by us. Is that what it is? No. Is that what it is? That was a racial component to your civil suit. I was attacked by a black man. No, by black on business.

By black on business. The whole business attacks you. Wow. Wow. I see what it is. I see what's going on over here. I don't post one black square and all of a sudden you're putting fucking knives on the door every time I try to push it open.

Wow, Alex. Wow. The weekend was great. What's up with you, man? I had a great date night. Oh, where'd you guys go? Saturday night. Well, Saturday was dope because we had the Sluat the Rock Nation,

team rock. They had the United Justice Coalition Summit, which was a summit just basically of a lot of thought leaders and, you know, politicians. Greg Popovich was there. He presented an award to Barry Sheck. Yeah, I miss Greg, though, because I had the first panel.

Right after Eric Dyson, Michael Eric Dyson spoke, I did the first panel. and, you know, you know, I did a panel with Attorney General Tish James, Dr. Alfie Briland Noble, Shaka Sincor, and Paul Samuels, and it was about the decriminalization of mental health, so that was dope.

And suit to Des and whole of everybody at Rock Nation. And then at night, man, I went to... Tell me the good shit. What I'm thinking, I don't want to be a prisoner at a moment. What I'm thinking is the best comedy show I've ever witnessed. Whoa. In my life,

from a, from a collective. You know what I'm saying? Like I've been to individual comedy shows that were phenomenal, you know, the infamous tour being one of them, but as a collective,

because the one to go, first of all, whenever Chris Rock is on a bill, if you born at a certain time in the 1900s, you gotta go see the God. That's that. You got to go see the God,

Chris Rock. I got to hear what, you know, Chris's take on the world is. Chris isn't one of these people that just waste thoughts, you know what I mean? All over social media. He's not writing books.

He's not doing podcasts. Like, he's not tweeting. You get Chris when he decides to go back on the road after he's lived life. His word is not mine. After he's lived life for four years, he says, he's like to do four years. Yeah. He says it takes two years to live life, two years to go out there and work on the material. Yep.

So you're not going to see Chris until he's out there working on material. So I had to go see, you know, where Chris is at in the world, what he thinks of the world that we're in. And, you know, Kev always enjoyed Kev. Kev is a world-class entertainer. And just the combination of him and Chris, it's something about collaboration that just makes you more interested in both parties.

Also, they're so different. Like, they work well. I would imagine they work well together. I didn't see the show, and I'm upset. I missed it. I was out of town. But it looked amazing. So they were at the garden.

And they were at the garden. And they was smart, right? Because Kev put out his episode of Heart to Heart with Chris Rock. Bro, there's a moment in that fucking episode. Talk to me. That is so goddamn fun. Like classic Chris Rock, brilliant, like perspective on an issue. Like, he's talking about, like, how everybody feels so bad for the kids.

Like, what COVID took. Oh, they, COVID took high school from him. And he goes, he goes, COVID took two years of my dick being hard. I can't get that hard dick back. He goes, you. I'm running out. He got a hair dye. He goes, I'm shaving my pub so my dick don't look like Morgan Freeman.

I didn't get to that point. I was crying, bro. But that's classic rock. We're all focused on these kids. Like, is there reading aptitude going to be down? Is there whatever? And he's, like, having, like, a pure, hilarious moment, which is like, this dick don't get hard like it used to.

And I've been in the house for two years. You know, it's interesting about that. It's all about perspective. Sometimes with any issue, we focus on one perspective. Yep. And that perspective becomes like the dominant conversation piece. What about the kids? What about the kids? Yeah.

What about the kids? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about the adults? What about the parents? They got to deal with the kids. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I get it. I totally get it.

Yeah. But, you know, we had to go see Chris Rock. Went to go see Chris Rock. And, man, we're sitting in the show. Showposts to start at 7. Starts around 8ish, 8, 10. Whole place goes dark. And all of a sudden, you just see that sea.

logo, which I didn't realize was such an iconic logo until that moment. I mean, I know, we know what the C represents. Yeah. But Dave said something, I get to that, but Dave said, well, I say, now, Dave said that the C logo met nothing until he made it mean something. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. That's how, I mean, that's, but that's how, that's how all logos are. I mean, did he think that was, like, profound? Um, it's not profound, but it's, it's humbling coming from him. It's humility coming from him. You know what I mean?

I guess. You don't think so? No. Oh. Like, all logos don't mean something. Like, you see the bat signal, you know what that means. Yeah. You see Wu-Tang logo, you know what that means.

Not everybody can just throw their logo in the air. No, no announcement, no nothing. I guess he's just saying, like, putting a C up didn't mean something until he became Chappelle and used the C as his branding. Yeah. Yeah, but that's obvious. It's like, if you just put the Batman logo thing when Batman doesn't exist, people are like, all right, that's cool.

But he's had to see something. since the TV show. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah. I mean. I had no idea. Y'all knew, I promised you I had no idea.

I thought that logo was new. I had no idea he had to see since the TV. Maybe, I don't know. I remember the sea as like part of Chappelle. Chappelle, that's what I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember it at the beginning of the name, but I don't remember it.

I don't know. Maybe it's a different color way. I don't know, but he puts the sea up. And literally it's like a quiet went over the garden for like a split second, like a, and then. He just walks out. No.

Dave Shepard. No announcement, no nothing. Just walks out. Yeah. Smoking a cigarette. And when I say the garden went crazy. Ape shit. I'm talking about like ape shit.

I'm talking about standing ovation before he says a fucking word. You got it. I mean, no, I'm talking about the whole garden. Everybody was on their feet clapping before he says a word. And I was just like, yo, I didn't see Michael Jackson when he was. walked out on stage and just good there. That's probably what it looked and felt like. That's one of my favorite things when I'm at the cellars. You get these, you know, super famous drop-ins. So Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, you know, Kevin Hart. And one of my favorite things

to do is just stand in the hallway. The audience has no clue that this person is going to go on stage. And the host brings them up. And my favorite intro that I ever saw was, it was, you've seen this guy on the Dave Chappelle show, give it up. for Dave Chappelle. That shit was so far. Exactly. You got talking about to say Donnell Raleighlin. I'm like, what a letdown.

Bro, isn't that fire, though? That's hilarious. You've seen this guy on Seinfeld. Give it up for a Jerry Seinfeld. Because it's completely out of left field, you know? And the audience just loses that. They're all turning around. They're going crazy.

He didn't even get an intro. Yeah, I mean. That's what he made it even harder. Like, yeah. And he doesn't, he doesn't. He don't need one. He don't need one. And he did a phenomenal 25 minutes.

And the reason it was a good 25 minutes because it wasn't anything but jokes. Ah. It wasn't a rant. It wasn't like any, it was just jokes. He had jokes about his family. He had jokes about his kids. He had jokes about the tackling that happened.

It was a super dope 25 minutes. And it was like shit. And I said to myself, that's a hard act to follow you know what I mean like that's a very risky move letting Dave Chappelle be your surprise opener and the reason Dave can cook in a setting like that

because there's no expectation I'm expecting Dave Chappelle so whatever I got was phenomenal that's extra that's right and the fact that you can tell like he's like he's got jokes about the script card he's got some funny funny shit he's yeah when Dave wants to

Yeah. He's just the best. He's nice with it. I mean, when he wants it, it's literally up to him if he wants to turn it on. Yeah, he's nice with it. That's what it feels like. And then so after Dave, Chris comes out, mind you, these guys took no breaks. I didn't go to this.

I don't know how to Barclay show was, but at the Garden, they took no breaks. There was no intermission. That's how it should be. Dave left the stage. Yeah. Chris comes out all white, you know, junior mafia, that old junior mafia song. One, two, y'all, you know, I got you. Fucking around with junior mafia.

Chris comes out and Chris gives me every bit of Brooklyn philosopher Chris. He comes out and he gives me a great, great observations over what we've witnessed the last four years. You know, everything from COVID to, you know, the presidency to, you know, fatherhood and how his, you know, his daughters are older now. And, you know, for me, I'm a father of four girls. So that perspective alone is, like, something that's unique to me and, like, other girl dad. Do you know what I mean? I wish I got to see this show. He had great observations about, I don't like to talk about people,

but he had great observations about. That's the tricky thing with stand-up is that like you can see a basketball game. You want to talk about the plays in the game. You want to talk about the strategy. With a stand-up, you understand that like this is people's IP. Yeah. If I giving away, it's going to ruin it. So you really, like I want to know what each one of them open with so bad.

Like off pod, I'm going to ask you what that opening line is for Chappelle. Because to me, that's the moment. It's like you have the entire arena staring at it. you ready. Like the car is already wound up, you know? And it's like, what are you going to break that tension with? It's a perfect moment. So I'm just curious what each one did.

But don't say it on the pod because he might use that for another show and I don't want to. No, that's funny. I don't think this was, he said something on the stage and I don't think this was a joke. So I repeat this. It's funny you say that because he was talking about after he got tackled. And he said, you know, in that moment. Oh, bro. You know, he said he forgot he's on stage.

I got the mic. in that moment what do I say and he was like Chris came through with the bang you know what I mean he was mad as shit he didn't say that

he said he was mad as shit I didn't know what I mean and then he was like what I said didn't weigh what he said I thought it was a trans man you know what I mean but that was dope

Chris came he killed it had great observations about money in plastic surgery shit like that It was phenomenal. But I have to say, man, and the way Chris ended, I'm not going to say how it ended, but it bought Kev right on out. Yeah.

And Kev came right on out. And I have to say this is by far, to me, the best material Kevin Hart has ever done. Oh, that's fine. Now, some people would say Kevin Hart, what's your favorite Kevin Hart's Danos special? The one that I saw in the movie theater. Was that laughing my pain?

I forget. Yeah, all the bunch of ones in the movie theater. Oh, I didn't know that a bunch of way in the movie theater. Yeah, too. What do you think is, what do you think, Alex? He thinks he's best to end up is. His second one, I forgot the title of it. I think that's laughing my, is that, that's a grown little man.

Which one is? The one with his uncle and his dad. See, that's why this, see to me, this is why this one is his best. Because it's like updates of all of that. You know what I mean? He's telling you where his pops is at now. And like, he's found the balance between celebrity and still being relatable, Kevin Hart. Yeah, yeah.

You know, which is when you're that big of a star, it's a hard ballot. Yep. You know what I mean? You're either going to be like too regular and too low-key, where it comes off fake. The C was nothing before me. It wasn't. If he had that logo that long and we just, we just noticed it. It wasn't.

I'm sorry. It wasn't. He didn't mean the letter C, though. He was like the logo. I don't think the letter C. existed before I put that. It's just the logo. It's just a logo.

It's just a logo. But, no, can't it? A, B, D, E, F-G, H-I-J-K-L-M-H-A-L-M-H-A-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E. But by the way, that says something, though, when you become, you get to that level when people see the C and that's what they think of. But it's the way it's formatted. Yeah. It's not like you're just going to throw a C up and.

Yeah, of course. We know the Crip. We know the love. Right? Talk that shit, Blue. No. You would know. You are you.

You don't know. Talk that shit, Charlotte. This right here has nothing. I don't do that. Like a Nipsey, Russell over here. I'm from most on the South Carolina. Only gangs I know is cow gangs. All right.

I don't know. Nogne? I don't know. I was just trying to think of something. Yeah. You know, think about it. You out here, bro.

I'm not, no gang. Where's Chris Rock when you need? It was all good. Where's Chris Rock when you need? Well, no. The moral of the story. This is a phenomenal show. If you get a chance to go see Chris Rock,

ego, go see it. And Ken, I sorry, I cut you. The Kev absolutely crushed it. You hit me up afterwards and you were like, yo, he was fucking hilarious. I had Taylor saw it. Taylor and Chris thought.

Just brilliant. I mean, Kevin, the most impressive thing to me is, and I think like it will go down in history. Like truly believe it will go down in history. Like eventually in like 20 years, we're going to reflect on like Kevin Hart's career and what he did during a span of like 30 or 40 years. And we're going to go.

30. Oh, yeah, it'll be that long now. That is, yeah. I'm in all at the last 12 weeks. I'm just saying, I don't see him. stopping anytime soon. But like to to maintain this, be funny, stay healthy.

Like all these things are so wildly difficult. You and I both have significant others. We have businesses. We do things. It's hard to find hours in the day to do all this shit. Yeah. So it. But you just got to make them right? Like Cab will get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. That's the thing. I think we look back and we go, nobody's accomplished more or worked harder in the history of entertainment.

I was with Cal all day. I can't think of, you're right. Dude, he's in a bathtub interviewing Floyd Mayweather. He's doing his own show interviewing the heart to heart. He's going on stage, shooting movies. Producing movies. It's crazy. Producing audio scripted content, doing stand-up, businesses.

Like, you and him have a business together. We got a business together. And he's got other multiple businesses. Like, I was with him. What day was we together? Monday. He was together for a long time. they, um, filming. What is this?

What is this? What is this? We're not going to just act like this is normal. Nice. What is this? That's sobby, bro. Sabi's just doing this. Sabi? What's, oh. Sabi come. You named your dog wasabi? Why did you name your dog wasabi? Bro, I live around fucking Asians. I got to make sure that they, you know. Okay.

Kevin's work after. I'm testing them. I was with Kev all day, Monday. And, you know, he already had did a bunch of things that day. Yeah. And then when he left from doing what he was doing with us, he had to go shoot Fallon, right? Then he had to show at the Barclays that night. And I'm like, bro, how do you do it?

Then this morning, I'm looking, he's in Harlem because he got a partnership with children's place. And they opened up 10 new children's places. He's reading to the kids. Like, it's unbelievable. It's all time output. And you know what else? It's not just him. You got to have the team that's down for that.

You can't do it without the team. That's right. Like, he can't be booking all these things. So he has to trust the team to like organize his time and schedule so he can, I'm imagining entertain and focus on that entertaining. But like getting people that you trust enough to have all the production and everything there, that's hard. Like for me, that's the hardest thing.

It's like, I don't, I can't just. relinquish my creativity to a random person then I show up and the bath is a different fucking color. The ice isn't this. And I'm like looking at the set and I'm like, what the fuck is going on over here? So he found a way to get brilliant enough people

where he can focus, I imagine, on being funny. And it's people that, I mean, for the most part, it's people that's been around him for 20 plus years. I mean, and I'll tell you something, man, if you think that's not a feat within itself, when you have 20 people that are just literally down for you

and what you're building. Like, I envy people like Kevin Hart. I envy people like Jay-Z who've had these people around them for so long and everybody understands their position to be fullest. Yeah. You know what I mean? It doesn't want to do anything except for what their position calls

for them to do. And then when they grow and evolve and want to do something else, they got the resources. Yep. They got the network. Yep. And they got the support.

100%. Of the people that, you know, the experience. They've been down with the experience. Yes, man. So I don't take that for granted at all. I'm so curious, like, how he has his business is organized. And, like, who's that point person?

Like, I'm really fucking curious. It's all teams. Like, it's all teams. I mean, I can only speak from my perspective. I wouldn't be able to do what I do if Black Effect didn't have a whole team. Right. With Dolly running it leading the day to day. You know, with me and Kevin, SBH, you got, you know, Nicole Shelton, you know,

who runs it, does the day to day. You know what I mean? And that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, all of that stuff is like, As long as you got somebody that can do the day-to-day, it's pretty easy because it's a platform full of creatives, right? So, like, we got something like 85 out now on Audible. Nicole and Chris, Chris Morrow are kicking it all the time,

making sure that's right. You know what I mean? The only thing we ever get is, yo, listen to this. Tell us what you think. Yeah. That's where our feedback comes from. Right.

After that, we're out the way. There's a book that I really want to read that my boy, Mark, you know, Mark Agnon, who had this flavor. So he was telling me about it, and he was just breaking down a little bit. called the e-myth, entrepreneur myth, I think, is what E stands for. And he goes, there's basically like every business, there's like three positions. And like, even if people don't think that they fill those roles, they do, right? There's like the entrepreneur that has like the crazy ideas. There's the technician, the person. Executes. But doesn't like change, doesn't want,

he like actually hates the entrepreneur because the entrepreneur every day is making his job hard. Yeah. Right? He's like, okay, I've got the cameras and everything. worked out and then the entrepreneur comes in and goes, what if we shoot this on us on an airplane? And he's like, well, we have everything worked out. And then there's the manager who's basically kind of the liaison between the crazy ideas and the technician. And like, even just looking at our business, I see how that has functioned in that way. And you need that marriage between the three of them. Absolutely. I'm an idea guy. You want to say the crazy thing. And then have the people in position to execute. Figure out how to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Figure out how we can get it done.

Now I'm an execute as far as showing up to get the work done, but as far as like getting something off the ground. Yes. Actually, like, I got this idea. How do we? That, yeah, you need people to help you do that. You got to figure out, not you. You're personally on your team,

got to figure out which microphones are going to use. That's right. What the lighting is, what all these things are going to do. You just have to say, you want to film this on a boat. That's right. Find me the boat. Find me the boat. That's right.

That's right. Yeah. So it's like that. I mean, it's like that with everything. It's like that with you too. No, I agree. I dove and everybody, you know what me? help you

motherfucking execute. But even when you see people that have, you know, these portfolios with all of these different things in it, trust me. There is somebody doing the day to day and it is not that person.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I am not that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. To all over the place. They got to keep me. But you're not supposed to be.

You should operate in your genius zone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is thinking of these fucking grandiose ideas. And then you have these people who it's their genius zone to execute on them. That's what Chris said in Hardheart,

What do you say? You remember he was talking about how he doesn't like to do the celebrity thing unless he's on tour. Like he doesn't keep like all of these people around him like a whole team. Any other time you see him by himself because he likes to live life. And he says he actually likes to talk to people because that's what he gets his, you know, best material from. I've seen Chris frequently in the neighbor. I think he lives in my neighbor. And I don't speak to him.

He always has huge headphones on. Fake. I've seen those videos Probably But yo it's I'm weird like that Nobody wears big headphones like that You know what I mean Those are to leave me alone headphones

Well sometimes people want to be left alone I respect people's I respect people's like space like Shit I was on a honeymoon with my wife And Megan Kelly was there with her family Now I know Megan I've done her show a few times It's like we've talked you know But I wasn't 100% sure it was Megan

And we were at the same hotel small hotel. And I was like, you know what? She's with her family. That's her time. I could go over and then it's not her and then it's whatever. But it's, I don't know. Sometimes I just... What if she thinks you're an asshole now? Like, I saw you. Well, I told her afterwards. I was like, I think we're at the same hotel. She was like, that was like, hey, you know, it's okay. Like, everybody, maybe you really need a break from that. Yeah. And maybe you want to do that. So when I when I see Chris in the neighbor with the headphones on, as much as I admire him and I'd love to kind of have a talk with him, um, I'm also like, yo, maybe he's going over a set. Maybe he's doing

Like I know how it feels to be like busy and have to do things and I respect somebody's time. I would love for you to speak to Chris. I would love for you. I'd talk to him a bunch. Yeah, I would love for you and Chris. Yo, Chris is dope because. You have a great relationship. Yeah, like, first of all, Chris is like the reason, Chris is the first person I saw do comedy that, that made me feel like, okay, how do I phrase it? Like, you know the first person that you see do something you love? And you want to do it. He inspired you to do it. No, no, no, no. It makes you go, oh, shit. It's okay to think that way?

he's the first comic that I saw that I felt made my feelings normal my thoughts normal you know what I mean like I would am I was the niggas versus black people joke I wrote that way before him it was it was a guy who was taking almost like a different perspective on things And I found that, like, I would kind of always do that. And then I saw the guy who's the best at doing it. I was like, oh, shit, there's a lane for this. This is a normal thing.

It's not normal, but this is like, it executed this highest level. And he was like, yeah, he made me really, like, care about doing that. That was the coolest part. That's what I said, too, man. I mean, I think it's a certain generation of comedians that grew up at a certain time that Chris is that guy. Like, I didn't, I didn't go over from a call in era. Maybe I did. I mean, didn't realize it.

I, yeah, I was kind of checked out from Carl. on in 19078, but I wasn't in the calling. So I just got on the calling, literally. I love it. And it's funny that I'm just getting on the calling because I've always heard Chris reference calling, but it's because of the social media clips that I've seen lately and then that documentary

on HBO, but I never was in the calling, but it's a certain generation of comedians who grew up on Chris. That's why Kev bought the goat on stage for Chris. Yeah. Like that was for Chris. Yeah, right? He was like, yo, you're the goat. You're my goat. You're the reason I wanted to do this. Like he bought that on stage.

just for Chris, did he bring that goat to Brooklyn? He knew, that's right, that goat would have made it out, God damn it. That goat would have not left Brooklyn uncurried at all. I guarantee you that goat, that goat, that goat, that goat, he knew not to bring that goat to motherfucking Brooklyn, bro. The goat might be in Brooklyn now. Oh, it is. It is in some form.

But no, saluta, man, saluted him, man. That was, it was a very phenomenal show, not because of the names, but because of the quality of the content. Yeah. Because you see names and it's a letdown. Like, eh, it's the fact that

all of them were executing on a high level. And to me, to me, still sharp and steel. Like, Chris had to know, of course, they knew Dave was going to be on.

Yeah. Was going to be their cab and new vice and breath. They probably been preparing for this shit for months. Of course. Like, we're going to tear it down in the garden.

And you know at a moment like that, everybody's going to rank the show. So each of them are going, I got delivered to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's there going to see me go up against this person. I want Andrew Schultz in Ohio.

That's what I want. I want Andrew Schultz at what Dave Chappelle, the Ohio shows. Yeah. Ask Rogan, Dave. You know what I mean? Ask Rogan. I'm serious. We need more white men.

What are we asking? We need more white men. Because Rogan goes out there all the time. Oh, does he? Yeah. Oh, I don't know that. Oh, I don't know that. All I ever see is Rogan and Louis CK.

That's right. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great Louis C. joke Dave got too, by the way. Dave, Dave. They got a good one? You got a good one. That's fire, but what did you guys talk about after the show?

Oh, man, we hung out till like, we hung out to like... What were you guys discussing after the show? That kind of shit, man. We hung out to like 3.30 in the morning, man. 3.34 o'clock in the morning. Because we was backstage and then we left to go like a little after party. We just kicked it. Dave is cool, man.

Dave is like... There's a good dude. Like, I can see why everybody loves. I mean, we've always loved and appreciated Dave. But every time I hang with Dave, it's the same energy. Like, it's almost like, it's almost like he might be, he's aware he's Dave Chappelle, but he don't care. Interesting. You know what I'm saying?

Interesting. And it just makes you realize, like, that most celebrities who act like assholes are really just assholes. Yeah. It is, like, wealth or celebrity is a magnifier of who you want. That's right. My dad used to say that shit all the time. Anybody that gets money or some sort of success never knew who they were to begin with. And it just multiplies whatever you are.

So it's like the more wealth, more success Dave has gotten. He's the person who still wants to be all about community, being around as many people as possible. Drinking his liquor, smoking his cigarettes, having high-level conversations. You know what I mean? Like even when you're having conversations with Davis, there's always something to talk about. It's never just like meaningless conversation. Like I've never had to make small talk with Dave. Yeah.

Ever. Yeah. You know what I mean? So yeah, salute to Dave. I salute to all of them, man. It's just, it'd be surreal sometimes that I even know them. Really? Hell yeah.

I mean, do you know how big you are? No, and I don't care. That is, I don't want to know. This is something. It's just surreal like shit. Like, did you think about it back in the day? Like, you see, and by the way, I'm sure it's like that for anybody who was in. Yeah.

the business, but... But you don't see yourself as them in your field? No. Oh, in my field? Well, I mean, y'all said I'm step Curry, so... They said that. I didn't say that. I mean... They said that.

Yeah. I don't know. Like, I think... But even in my field, it's people that I still look at and I'm in awe. Like, when I'm having conversations with Andrew Martinez, I'm in all. You know what I mean? When I worked with Wendy Williams for three or four years, I'm in awe. And I'm sitting, you know, next to Wendy Williams. And I meet Tom

John. I'm in awe. Like, oh, shit. You could still be in awe of people, but be better than them? I don't think so. I mean, no, no. I don't know. I don't think I'm better. When I see it,

every time I see them, I even listen to old stuff from them, it's things that they do that I'm like, yo, I got to sharpen that in my game. I think that's good. I think that that, I think that like you should have a,

or all greats probably have a great balance of like insecurity and confidence. Like the insecurity like humbles them enough to get better and the confidence. That's right. Is, you know, so that they can actually execute on their dreams.

Always be a student. Yeah. Like, would you go to the show? Like, would you go to a Chris Rockwell? Of course. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I saw Dave Chappelle when he was at Radio City when he did that run at Radio City. Yeah. I hear some comedians say, I don't want to go see a stand-up special because I don't like to watch other comedians. Well, I don't like to watch other comedians when I'm in writing mode and when I'm in performing mode. Got you got you. Because I don't want to be affected. Yeah, yeah. It's not even like material.

It's more like, I just don't want to be affected while I'm in my, like, honing process. But, like, right now, like, when, like, you know, like, like, What Chris said about, like, taking time off and, like, everybody is an off season, like, I genuinely feel that way. Yeah. Like, I respect the fuck out of that stage. I don't like wasting that stage. So it's like- It's no joke, bro.

It's no joke. That shit is no joke. But, may I tell you something, man? And I've said this before, that has to be the purest form of entertainment on the planet and the most fulfilling. Like, because it ain't no song. You can't throw a beat on and sing this record that everybody knows. You gotta go out there with that microphone and just you versus however many people to garden hold. I have many people radio city hold.

Like that is no joke. It takes the level of ego. Yeah. A healthy level of ego, a healthy level of confidence and arrogance to even feel like you can go step out there and do your shit. But also a level of insecurity. The fact that you need the validation of those people. Or that you want it in some way. If you don't get it.

Yeah, it's wild I pass out on stage You would pass out Right there Somebody will feel sorry for me No I'm gonna get some sympathy From somewhere

I'm trying to think What would you would do To save the day Faint Nah bro You'd go into your bag of tricks You know why don't Jesus headline his own holiday

You go back You get the bangers out The fucking closet bro We have a friend Who tried that one Stop. We had a friend who was reaching for those greatest fits. And they didn't want them.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Slute our guy. Loved him to death, man. Sloot to our guy. Were you hoping one of them was going to catch a L when you were there? There was a little party.

Yeah. I'm always hoping somebody catch you. Why? What are you talking about? Of course. This guy's crazy. But I really do. I realize I might have some type of like still, I don't

I don't know what you would call it, but it's some type of tendency where I'm like, I'm really not laughing. Like, I'm, I'm, because when it's so good, I'm real, when it's so good, what I do not just be like hysterical. Yeah. Like that's literally it because I don't want to miss the next thing. I'm like hysterical. But all of them are so good, like they know when to let the crowd laugh. They don't try to, you know, talk over the laugh, you know what I mean? But it's just like, I'm just watching it.

I'm like hysterical. Yeah. You're like intellectualizing it. Yes. super hyper focus. Where's he going with this? Can I figure this thing out? What is you trying to do? How is he going to make this funny? Ooh, this is where I would have gone with it.

Oh, I'm finishing line. There it is. No, no, no, no, no. I was finishing some lines. Oh, yeah. Certain parts, certain parts. I'm not going to say who. Certain parts. I'm not going. Because you know what? You just know where he's going. But guess what? But that's the beauty of it, right?

When you think you know where it's going, but then they say something else, you're like, oh, okay. Yeah. I think you're describing comedy. You know what's funny about comedy, bro? When you don't see it coming. Listen, it's the purest form of entertainment. There's nothing better than it. I love that perspective on it. It's one of those things as a comic.

Like when I see the way that people naturally react to music, there is envy, right? It's like something about music is, I don't know, like it's a part of us. Like you can move a whole crowd of people. People love singing together. Music comes with memories. Yeah. So it's like, yo, whatever your favorite song is, you have a memory attached to that song. So 10 years from now, if you hear the song, you and your wife dance to it away,

you're going back to that day. It's going to always be one of your favorite songs. It's memories attached to it. Interesting. That's what it is. And because of that, people react in this way. It's, like, amazing. So I can only imagine what that's like for, like, an artist who's there.

Like, when you see those pictures or videos of DMX at Woodstock, remember, like, 90s, was it, 96 or something like that? Where it looks like DMX is just performing for the whole world. You're like, what? With the orange jump on. Yeah. The overalls. Overalls, yeah. And like, so I look at that and I'm like, okay, that's going to be a different feeling.

But with comedy, I think storytelling is probably one of the oldest forms of entertainment. So there is something in people that they want to sit with each other and engage in this story, whether it was the fucking the Iliot or the Odyssey or the Bible or whatever it was. Like, we want to sit around and engage. And, yeah, it's just really. beautiful when you can get all those people connected like that. It's awesome. And you know, what's that noise?

I don't know, but Saibi, not feeling it. And you know, we can end on this before we move on. Because we're dick riding right now. No, we're not. We're celebrating. Yo, we got to. I know people are out there like, look at them dick riding. Who cares?

You got to celebrate people, get people that flowers. We celebrate them, even if there was, you know, some hate going on. You know what I mean? It is all good. You know what I mean? But I will say. this strange thing about comedy. Go get them, Sabi.

Get him. Wow. Salby's a fucking guard dog. Get him! Get him! I didn't know Sabby was a guard dog. Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh. Sabby, you a guard dog, bro?

Yeah, Sabie, sit, down. He's looking at Taylor thighs. You're looking at that BBL, Taylor just got. I'm saying that. Taylor got that fresh BVIL. Sit. Down. I don't know who the fuck the girls from Laguna Beach, y'all.

Come on, though. Come on, hell. God bless him. Come on. Come on, y'all. Come on. What has MTV ever done for anyone? I know, right?

Come on now. That's sarcasm. Come on, Taylor. We both got a kind of start there. You know what I mean? But this is the thing about- She's not a guard dog, by the way. She's the biggest person.

I can't tell she's not a guard dog. But that's what I need. Oh, okay. Yeah. But here's the strange thing about comedy. I left that show. Chris hit her with the, okay. That's what he said?

Chris went to go to stop her. She started barking. He was like, no, because that dog bites some motherfucking body. WTF is out of business. No. I know they don't got that kind of insurance. No, you don't got dog insurance.

That dog bite somebody in here. everybody's liable. I think she's more worried about getting bitten here. Come on. Come on, guys. Come on, guys. Come on, guys.

Here's the thing, man. Here's the thing about a good stand-up show. A good stand-up show. When I left that show Saturday, I had a, I strangely felt like, with all this shit going on in the world, we're going to be out. We're going to be all right.

That's how I felt. Yeah, you get a laugh in, man. You laugh with, other people. You see them laughing at all the ridiculous things in the world. And you're like, you know what? Life isn't Twitter. Life is not.

People have a sense of humor. They can laugh at themselves. They can laugh at other people. That's right. We're going to be all right. We're going to be all right. That's right. That's the moral of the story.

Yo, motherfuckers, motherfuckers bootlegged, bro. They did. They did, bro. They had that shit up there in the fire stick or the torn or whatever.

How did they do that, though? What a matter of matter if I don't tell them. I don't tell them. I don't know. But, like, yo, just, I don't know. It's just so cool seeing people support and seeing people spread the word. And Instagram blocked my whole fucking shit this week. So it's been harder to get the word out.

I kind of agree with. Like, I want to feel life a little bit more. I think I'll start going on stage again in August, but I still want to, like, reflect on, like, I got married, bro. Like, you know what I mean? Like, there's changes that are going on in my life. So I want to sit down and really kind of chew on that and figure out what that is. I've been running a million miles a second.

So I want to take a moment to just think about that. Yeah. How I really feel about things? What has change? Like, what do I, how do I think about politics now? How do I think about relationships now? How do I think about all these money now? Like, so I just need some time to chew on that so that when I get back on stage, I have something I'm like excited and passionate to talk about.

That's one of the things with comedy is very important to me. I don't like writing jokes about things I don't care about. I have to be like passionate about it. And yeah, once I get something that I'm ready, I get back on stage, I'm going to be so fucking excited. It's going to be great. Word.

Is it going to, is it going to be similar to like Marr? Marr? Mar. Is it going to be similar to? The Daily Show, Chelsea. Marr Chelsea, old Chelsea, e-news Chelsea. Okay.

Just that panel set up. Like, I missed that. You know, I missed that community conversation. That's what I do, you know what I mean? Like, I do community conversations. Breakfast Club is not just me. Brewery Nidians is not just me. I prefer the community conversations.

Like, that doing a whole show with just you, that's too much heavy lifting, bro. Yeah. You know what I mean? I agree. A conversational show. I like having the panel. Like, you know, even when I do. one-on-one conversation. That's me and somebody else. You know what I mean? I enjoy that. I enjoy that energy.

So that's what- You want to bounce off somebody. Yeah. I feel like that every time I go on Instagram live, I'm like, I'm not talking to somebody. I'm talking to all these people. But like I it's not, it's way more entertaining when I can bounce off of someone. Different, by the way, different skillset. There's some personalities. Amazing. Amazing. I mean. They are incredible at that. That's the thing. I always, you know who else has that from our generation? Lettie Martinez. Yeah, letty can get inside a microphone and just talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if it's because she's a child,

imaginary friend, whatever it is. She knows how to do that in a real way. It's a different muscle. It's a different skill set. I respect it. I appreciate it. I think either one of us could do it, but I don't enjoy it. Yeah, like, I could do it if I have an audience that's stand-up.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But, like, for me, this is more fun. Like, even, you know, with flagrant, I agree with you. It's like community that that's a great way of putting it. it's nice to have other people tap in, other people laugh and like laugh together and like argue together

and try to get people on your side with the logic and then other people trying to get people on their side. I don't know, it's a much more like natural human thing. Even the shows I love, like inside the NBA, like, right? Like there's things that just happen to that feeling. I did the view yesterday. How was? Oh, it was a rush.

Wait, wait, wait, why, why? I loved it. Why, why, why, why? I mean, I've done the view before. Last time I did the view was 2017 when a black privilege came out. I actually did it on release day I said this on the show I thanked them because I did

I did two things on release day of Black Privilege I did Elvis Duran in the morning Yep And I did The View Legends By the time I left Elvis Duran Black Privilege was like

Number 3 overall And by the time I left the view It was It had hit one or something Wow And I knew and it was on It ended up being on the New York Times Vestellers for like 12, 13 weeks

I knew that they played a big part in that But yo that show is phenomenal Really Just because it's like, who was there? It was Ann Navar, Joy Behar, Sarah, Sarah, what's I think, Sarah Haynes, and Whoopi. You know, Queen Whoopi. And it was just like, Anna, first of all, Anna hit me with something that I wasn't expecting, right?

Because she, we would talk to you, like, you know, we were talking before you came on, and we were talking about, you know, Liz Cheney. Yeah, Liz Cheney, yeah, pull up Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney, a daughter of Dick, by former vice president. Yeah. Oh, no, that's not it. Oh, no, that's me. Oh, that's Fox News headline.

Fox News says, Shalamy and the guy mocks Kamala Harris. I didn't mock Kamala. They just asked me what did Kamala say after I questioned her about, you know,

Joe Manchin and who's the real president of his country, and I was just like, she didn't say nothing. Yeah, she really didn't say nothing. Like, she didn't say nothing. How bad is Kamala Harris

that Joe Biden is barely alive and we're no Nobody's even suggesting that Kamala takes over. Like, you gotta be really bad. Is that the new thing with vice presidents? Like, Trump had that with Pence. We're like, well, we don't want that fucking maniac.

And I wonder if you, like, your protection as president is a shitty vice. The crazy thing is, oh, here we go. I want to go back to that combo point, but listen. We were talking before you came out. We were talking about politics. And we were talking about Liz Cheney. And there's some people like me who see her as a profile and courage, as a historical figure as somebody who's put.

Liz Cheney? Yes. How do you see her? None of those things. I mean, I don't, I mean, that's a broad question. How do I see her? Yeah, because some people see her as a hero in today's politics. No.

Some people see her as a zero. Well, she's standing up to people who say that the election was stolen. Yeah, but she was complicit for four years. I mean, when you ride with Donald Trump on damn there, everything for four years, I don't think you can be considered a hero. Not to mention, after January 6, she voted against the, to John Lewis voting rights bill, so you can't tell me that you're standing up

for democracy when you won't even vote to preserve the cornerstone of democracy, which is voting. I love that. Number one, I wasn't expecting it, but I didn't know what, I thought, I mean, I thought we were talking about the show stuff like that, and it's just like,

I realize I really love conflict. Y'all think I love conflict? Yes. Yeah. Really? Yeah. You thrive. It's all you know. My biggest fear about like you removing your depression and anxiety is you're just going to kill yourself.

You'll be the first person that got happy and was like, fuck this. I just love a good, I love a good debate. I love a good, honest debate. I love good conversations with smart people. Because number one, I've never heard that perspective. I didn't know people thought Liz Cheney was a hero. I didn't, I don't know who she is. I don't know who she is.

Is she a lesbian one? I know he got a lesbian daughter and then another daughter. I don't think she is. You know why Liz is a hero, Chris? You want to come in a house? Come back. Come back. Chris going to have to bend over and make it like Chris twerking.

Make it look like Chris twerking. And then the mask, dude. Come on, bro. What do you want me to do? You just, you already had it. You're good. Just fucking ridiculous. That's a monkey pox.

That's not for COVID. I think he's way now for COVID? Did any of them have anything good for monkey pox? Any of the comics? No. No. No, yeah. No, he did.

He must have been winging it, then. Dave definitely did. Yeah, but he had a bar. He had a little bar. He had a bar for monkey pops. But it'll be telling the jokes, so I don't want to know. Well, go ahead, Chris. Why is Lucheney considered a hero?

I think she's seen as the only member of, like, the old guard of the Republican Party, who's more centrist version of the Republican Party who's pushing back again. She's centrist? Yeah. By today's terms. No way. She voted against abortion rights. She voted against the voting rights bill.

She voted with Trump on 93% of everything. How was that centrist? Didn't she not believe in gay marriage and her sister's gay married? Yeah, I think so. Before you pass out from standing up. Yes. What? That's what I got.

I mean, you know, like, I didn't know she was considered a hero, though. Hero? People thought that like Milk Romney was going to stand up against Trump as a representative of that kind of more traditional Republicans. It's easy to stand up when he's not in power.

I love Chris. Chris walked over to the mic to not talking to Mike. This is unbelievable. I'm out. What I was going to say, it's easy to stand up to Trump when Trump's not in power no more.

Yeah. She would not be having that energy if Trump was still in power. She still has to worry about re-election and stuff like that. It's like it. It says it's over for her and went up in state season.

Montana, Wyoming. One of them. That's why they're calling her a hero. It's like she's trying to stand up now for what she thinks is right, despite the fact that she's going to lose. I mean, listen, if I commit a murder with somebody and, you know, decide to, you know,

tell on the person after the fact, I still committed the murder, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I might get some time taking off my sentence, but I'm still going to jail and I'm still an accessory. You're saying that she was dick riding Trump.

Pretty much. Right. She voted with him over 90% of the time. But you're, you probably agree with Trump on 90% of things. Who? You? No.

He's like, I like ice cream. You're like ice cream. That's not gold, though. You know, I don't like traffic. Like, we all probably agree on 90% of shit. But that's why the voting record is the thing to look at, right? Because people can say anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can say anything. Oh, I do this, I do that. But what happens when you vote, bro? You know what I mean? So for me, it's like, no. You know, first of all, I don't want to hear shit about preserving democracy if you're not voting to preserve voting rights. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. If you can't say you're standing for democracy, if you are not voting to preserve voting rights, anything else is, ugh. And any woman that's not pro-choice, I mean, I get it for religious reasons and stuff like that. But even if you disagree with abortion, you should still agree with a woman's right to choose.

Right? Not necessarily, but... You don't think so? No, I personally am cool with it. Because even if it's religious, like, if they want to make the choice to do something that you think wants them in the hell to go to hell, yeah, I guess...

But aren't you supposed to be your brother's keeper? Not it says brothers It says brothers Oh my god It says It says brother Okay What is why you complicate me

You can only board the women Is what you're trying to say I'm just saying it says my brother's keeper I'm saying that I have nothing to do with that All right Taylor, what's wrong, Al All right

This is good man Napping Do you believe this shit, scroll down, Taylor. Napping regularly linked to high blood pressure and stroke. Study. Hold on. Hold on. Talk to me, Schultz.

This is some bullshit. They're trying to keep us woke. Well, no, I don't think that's the reason why black people have high blood pressure and strokes. Why you make this a color thing? Napping? That's not... Yo, hold

Hold on. Wait a minute. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. What are you? This guy got Kevin Durant scared for no goddamn reason.

This guy is crazy. Oh. I just don't. The guy is crazy. Wait, me. Explain. They're not going to trade Kevin Durant. They don't think he's going to pass a physical now because of you.

This guy is crazy, yo. people with naps got high blood pressure This guy is wow I think that could be a correlation Like obviously you know There are certain things that affect the black community But I don't think it has anything to do with hair I think that that's

I think that's like fucking racist to even make that connection Napping I agree with you But they're talking about napping like fleet man Oh shit Oh fuck dude That's all that's crazy dude. Is that, those are spelled the same? Oh, wow, dude.

This may be because although taking a nap itself is not awful, many people who take naps may do so because a poor sleep at night. Poor sleep at night is associated with poorer health, and naps are not enough to make up for that, says clinical psychologist Michael Granner. Granner directs the behavioral sleep medicine clinic at the Barner University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. He wasn't involved in the study, though. Study participants who typically

napped during the day. We're 12% more likely to develop high blood pressure over time and were 20% more likely to have a stroke compared with people who never napped. Wow. You're taking my chances, bro. No, but I think it's probably like fatter, more unhealthy people nap.

And I think that's why it looks, it's not napping that's causing it. It's your fat ass. You don't nap? I love napping. I love a nap. I can't do certain things without a nap. That's true.

If I know I'm going out to a comedy show or something, I got to sleep during the day, bro. Yeah, but people, Yeah, I don't think people realize, like, you're up at four in the morning. Oh, my God. Tell me about it. So it's like you need a nap in order to function. I guess what I'm trying to say is, like, it's probably people who are more unhealthy

are taking naps, and that unhealthiness is what's causing them to have strokes, not the fact that they're sleeping for an hour again. That's a good point. I need to know more. Yeah. I need to know who are these people there studying. What is already their health condition? That's why I hate about these studies like this.

Yeah, it's good. Like, that's so generic. What's that fucking quote, Chris? There's three lies, like lies, big lies and stuff. statistics or something like that. There's something like, basically you can like flip statistics to make anything look like what you want it to be. Oh, so long.

See? The result, okay. All right, let's scroll up to it. Oh, napping. Details. Hold on. Study participants. Okay, we read that.

Study participants who typically nap, right? If the person was, let me read this all together. Study participants who typically nap during the day were 12% more likely to develop high blood pressure over time and with 20% more likely to have a stroke compared with people who never nap. If the person was younger than age 60, napping most days raised the risk of developing high blood pressure by 20% compared with people who never are rarely gnapped, according to the study published Monday in hypertension. The results held true even after research is excluded people at high risk for hypertension, such as those with type 2 diabetes, existing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep disorders, and who did nightshift work. So basically they did a study on people who are already dealing with these issues. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Oh, come on. Yeah, don't believe none of this shit, Marrow. Take your naps if you want to. And, you know, it is what it is, man. I'm taking a nap. Because I read that and I was like, they're just trying to keep us woke, bro. And I feel like every woke person needs a nap.

Yeah. Wholeness is kind of like, bad a little bit, right? Yeah, I think everybody's, we're turning the tide on all that. It's just annoying. I think, I think conscience is better than being just woke.

Yeah, you could be aware. A wear. Bro, there's a funny clip this kid put out, and he's wearing a sombrero. What is the Mexican garb that they put on? Pancho. A poncho. And a fake mustache. And he's walking around like this like college area.

And he's like all these like, you know, like woke kids. He's going, do you think this is offensive? And they're like, yeah, like you're appropriating culture. It's all different types. Not just white people. It's like all woke. And yes, you have to know about the culture before you use that. Yes, that's offensive.

Do you think this depends of every single person? He goes to the Mexican neighborhood. And he goes, what do you guys think of this? They're like, no, that's cool, bro. That's fucking, that's fire. And it's like, they like their culture. It's not insulting. If you like your thing and then you see somebody else in it, you're like, this is cool.

What do you mean it's not true? You can't tell Mexicans what they like or they don't like. Think about it. Think about when the Dems, the Democrats, they, were the Kinti Kloff Yeah, that's not That's not your culture

That's not your culture Is my ancestors though? Is it though? It's not the point That's not your culture You know it relates to that Please do not speak on behalf Of the proud African people

Here's the thing That's their culture Yeah But I get what Taylor said You never wore a Kente cloth In your life How do you know? I don't

I don't think they're Am I wrong? No, you're not. I don't think I'm not wrong Okay It's not my point I don't think the Dems were appropriating culture as much as that shit was just corny as fuck.

Like, I don't want to see all of that symbolism and all of that. It's also from a politician. I want to see legislation being passed. Like, I'm not what I want to see. I'm tired of Democrats doing no symbolic stunts and singing and dancing and all of that shit. We don't like seeing the whites with Braze either. Why? How do you get her?

I just, you're appropriating Mexican culture right now. You got on the goddamn, what's that shit called? She got on right there, the buttoned up joint. Oh, a flannel? A flannel, yo. That's not Mexican. Yes, it is. I thought that's white.

Nope. That's white. That's white culture. You're appropriated white culture. Also, rip jeans shorts, white. Wow. You dress like old white girl. You got the Daisy dukes on.

That is festival attire. That is true. Yeah. That's why the dog. You're dressed like a little white girl, yo. The dog wants you to know what's kind of on all of that brown makeup. I'm just saying. Who's this white girl with all this brown makeup?

Yeah, I'm seriously. What else? Did you see Kit Cuddy getting that shit throwing at him, bro? Yeah, that shit was funny as hell I ain't gonna lie. If another thing

gets thrown to me I'm walking off this day. They're lucky he gave a warning. I just walked off. Yeah. They're lucky he gave a warning. He should have never done that, bro.

He should have never stepped in for the concert because he's replacing Kanye, a guy that he just called Corny and all these people bought the tickets to see Kanye. The fuck you think it was going to happen. That's true.

Kanye fast as shit, bro. I don't know how he threw that shit at Cuddy then got over the little dirt stage that fast. You know he performed on a little dirt on dirt stage. Wow. Yo, Kanye really does move to the beat of his own drum

because why would you pull out a rolling loud? Just to perform there. Just to be a guest feature on somebody set. Nobody thinks that's weird. But he's brilliant because now we're talking about it. I guess. We don't even know if that was really Kanye on dirt stage. Oh, shit.

You asked me, Kanye was in the cross stage. Oh, and Kanye was tossing that fucking cutty. And then he had a body double come out perform with jerk. That's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? And if you watch it, the body double performs, then bounces for a second and then comes back out and it's like a thinner looking Kanye.

I'm making all this up. The reason I'm making all this up is because people are so fucking stupid. I said this yesterday on Breakfast Club. I was like, I don't know how Kanye got. back to the other stage so fast and it was a goddamn headline. Charlamagne says Kanye was throwing stuff at Kid Cutty. Like, what the fuck?

I mean, that's it. Do we not understand jokes and sarcasm anymore? That's a perfect headline. I'm clicking on it. I mean, you did say that. I mean, you did say it? And I'm clicking on it. And it's like, does he have insider information? Whether it's true or not, it's just the most entertaining take.

Also, when Kanye comes out to this song as a surprise. What song is it? Tell me, what's on it? I didn't hear it. You already know. Run it from the beginning and don't ruin it for him. Don't ruin it for him. Go to the beginning. Oh, no, this is a classic.

Go back, go back. Go back. No, this is a classic. It's a classic. To the beginning. There it is. No, this is classic. First of all,

The Life of Pablo is a classic album. And... D-Dong-T-T-D-D-D-D-D-D-I. Phenomenal. Bro, those first three songs on Life of Pablo, that's like some of the greatest sequence in ever. Unbelievable. Oh, what are those songs?

I know it's Ultra Light Bean. Don't father I'm gonna shoot you Dude a full morning Turn something to the morning Bray Wake me in the morning I mean

Yeah. Play the Nick Cannon clip, Taylor. Salute to Saucy, though. I fuck with saucy, man. Saucy is burying. entertaining though. This is wild.

This is wild. You gotta hear this. This is wild. There's a wild statement for anybody to make. All right, let's see this. The wild and out head honcho was wild. 80% of women that probably need assistance when it comes to female hygiene. You got that is magnificent.

That's a magnificent. 20% that have no smell and it's fresh. I think I'm part of the 2% because I definitely agree with Stephanie. 20. I'm narrowing it down. But even because there's, I'm at the top of that money. Those are the keepers. Those are the like, yo,

fresh out, like, she was in the shower. It was amazing. If I stick, if I could swirl around, it's not normal. That's going to be a nice thing and everything. That's amazing, but that's not normal. All these girls acting like they pussy don't stink sometimes.

But I guess, no more, you know. You know what you're saying? And make, you know, present company excluded. I we men we talk about this all the time do y'all know when y'all stinking up the room I don't have to look at the heart to tell one of those things think but but that's the thing because I've never spelled people think of that right you've never spelled that in the whole like you're you you got you got teams and stylists this guy I know tell me what tell me what

Tell me what's wild about that statement before I say what I think is wild about that statement. Wait, what's wild about 80% of women need help with feminine hygiene? Um, I don't know. Maybe, maybe he's right. He would know. You think he's fucked 80% of women? Yeah. Okay, you might have a point.

I think he's, he's gone through a nice sample size. He's come through that. And you could use that as like, you know, how they decide if the state, he wins the state based on like, you know, testing a thousand people? I think I don't know. I think, yeah, I think you might know something here. Now, I will say this. You know, you never smelled like a gross box? Yeah, I have. But I mean, it's supposed to smell like

something. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. But have I smelled this one that smells sour? Yes. You know what I mean? Those are just rough, huh? Huh? Those are rough when they smell like that, right? You don't. You know, my dad got, my daddy gave me. My daddy gave me a lot of bad advice.

I was younger, man. My daddy said, if it smells like cologne, leave it alone. If it smells like fish, eat all you wish. No, he didn't say that. Now did I get all? Not, not, not, I'm, I'm 44, and I need to call my dad and ask him what that meant. Because now, when I think about it now, I'm like, well, damn, how long have trans women been around? Where?

Why? If it smells like cologne? Oh, shit. I don't know what he was saying. I thought he was saying one thing. Maybe he meant something else. You know what I mean? Because back then, I just thought I was young.

So, like, when you hear cologne, perfume, you just think it's all one fragrance. But now that I'm old, I'm like, what the fuck did that mean? What do you mean by that? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I want to ask it. Bro. What?

What? If it smells like cologne, leave it alone. If it smells like fish, eat all you wish. That's what my dad used to always say. And like, men wear cologne is what he's saying. Yeah. Okay. Older, like older men around me would always be like,

supposed to have some type of smell. But, I mean, it's not stink, but. Yeah. Oh, and by the way, do we ever smell all balls? I mean, my shit stinks, bro. After a hard day. Yeah. Like, you take them drawers off.

You're like, oh, shit. That camera on lyric, bro. What? Because she licked my balls right after I play ball. No watch them, no nothing. Here what I say, y'all. Okay, y'all. Act like St. Jay, y'all.

I turn the baddest bitch is gay, y'all. You know, Cam is the fucking man. Samma's the illness. That's just a wild statement to make, like, all of us don't have odors at some point in time. Yeah. Because I think he even made the statement, like, you know, you don't even have to do it. It's like fresh out the shower, whatever. So it was like, everybody, who doesn't watch before they have sex?

You don't watch when you have sex. You're not just diving in? Yeah. You know what I mean? Unless it's like... Well, sometimes you dive in. You come right from the club. You're not taking a shower.

That's different. Yeah. You both smell like the club. You smell like the club. You smell like the club or you both smell like you've been outside. That's different. and you're probably intoxicated. You're not even thinking about it.

Not even thinking about it. Yeah. Boom. And most women have the way with all to, no, go give it a little. Oh, spritz it up. A spritz it up.

A little spritzer. You know what I mean? Okay, so why are these girls that are hooking up with Nick Cannon feeling like they don't have to clean their vaginas first? How do we know Nick not throwing pH balances off? Oh, all the women he's sleeping? Oh, shit.

So Nick is bad for pussy. I'm just saying. Wilding Wow Yo that would be a funny ass signal for Nick If Nick want to tell women When they got a stink vagina

While in As soon as their pants come off She know what time it is They're going to have so many jokes on Nick This next season with these kids At the family reunion Ain't no room in this bitch Because all of his kids

Hey. Hell, you ever had a guy to take that? Have you ever had a guy say that your crotch smelled like a garbage bag? That that boss was thinking. That that pooh-and-pum was pung-ponged. Never? I told you. Boom, boom.

What happened? You know, eat no garbage pussy. I told you all before, though. Like, I had to sniff myself like, oh, shit, it was not the time to do that. What, really? You smelled yourself. What did you smell like? Humming, coming at you.

What happened? Some 80s rap come out of that shit. Hoo, hot, give it. Hip, hold for your dog style. Hey, that's just. Dude, there, there, yeah. You pull your panties off in the 80s, right? Yo, you pull your panties off and somebody start rapping in the 80s, brus.

Somebody threw your pH off? How they throw it off? Oh, God. His fault. A Haitian. Oh, he was uncircumcised. Whoa. He used you with the schmags.

Where are you when we need you, Clarence Thomas? Yeah, what do you think? You think Clarence Thomas is circumcised? Nah, he was born in 19. No, he was born in like 1800 and... He was born in the 1800s? I don't think they were doing schnips, shnips back. God damn, bro.

It's got to be a origin to snips, right? There has to be a time when they started doing that. Yeah, fucking Jews started doing that shit 5,000 years ago. Oh, yeah, you're right, the christenance. I went to one of those one time, bro. No, the brisk, I'm sorry. It's called a bris.

I respect head I think we respect that's what I meant I respect head not I respect head yeah you know what the fuck I meant man

yeah oh did you see the Black Panther too trailer made you feel bad for cracking all them goddamn jokes about what I was accurate I was accurate. They are at war with the water

they are they are going to war with Atlanta yeah but uh that being said it looks fucking amazing yeah man I mean what did you think? I don't see how the movie could be better than that trail the trailer was like goosebumps inducing can we watch it? I don't see why not

I don't think Marvel is snatch it down it's already got fucking 22 million views since July 23rd. You want to give us some volume, Sweet Taylor? The crazy part is there's no, you know, there's only one line in this whole thing. It's all music. I think that's Tim, phenomenal artist Tim, singing no woman, no cry. And it's like a Kendrick interpolation in there.

We're going to be all right. And Angela Bassett has the only line to let you know that, you know, she's lost her husband, which was to Child of Father. and I guess now she's lost to Chalo. Lord have mercy. How does he die? That's what I want to know. That's what I'm like, I want to know.

I don't, I don't. What series, Taylor? Hold on. Hold on. Childer don't die in the comic books. Music just hits different, dude. That shit's slap. Music just hit different.

Whoever scored that, who score. Genius. Everything's going to be all right. That's Riri Williams, Ironheart, baby. That's young name. Moore.

Embakou. How does Shuri feel about that life? Crazy. Oof. I want to know who the new Black fans is. Who is it? I don't know. I want to know how Shuri feels about Angela Bassett.

Queen, Queen Angela Bathes and her entire family is all. We don't know what part of the movie that takes place. Ooh, so Shuri might be, ooh, Shuri might die too. Ooh, shit. Now. Oh, shit. Now.

Oh shit. Did you go back real quick to the point where you see the Black Panther costume? Okay? Just go back like 10 seconds. That is not. Why do you? I saw somebody saying somebody was like, somebody said that Kilmonger's not in the Black Panther two trailer.

Did you see Black Panther one? Did anybody see Black Panther one? Why? He died. No, I know. But this is Kilmonger's suit. Shuri made the suit. She made two of them.

She made the silver and black one and she made a black and gold one. That's not killmonger soup. No, no. I know that. What I'm saying is who do we think this person is that's wearing a killmonger suit? Nekia are Angela Bassett. Oh, so. It's sure the Shuri, Nakia, or Angela Bassett.

But how are they going to save the day? Well, here's the crazy part about that. You know, people who, if you know about the world of Wakanda, we don't. Talk about, it's ran by women. Like literally Black Panther's whole army is the Dora of Malage. it's always been all women. Black, that's his army. That is who protects Black Panther.

And, well, maybe that's the cause of a lot of the issues that are happening in Wakanda of late. No, maybe that's why Wakanda is the most advanced technological nation in the universe. Well, no, it was, there was a dude that was at the helm. Oh. Black Panther's dead. Yeah, but Shory makes all the technology. Yeah. The women protect the kingdom.

Yeah. The women got better weapons than the guys. they did you know what I'm saying the horrible lot but that's always been the beauty of black panther though and I think that they designed black panther like that on purpose so you think this is sure so you don't think that there's a male protagonist in it no this is whoever this is the hero and you think it's either shirri shirri Nakia or

Angela Bassett one of the three one of the three they take the purple herb they get got the beauty of the power of black phanta like whoever takes the purple herb gets the power to black phanta she puts the suit on And she gets busy. And in the comic book, Shori did become Black Panther for a while. Yeah. I remember. I mean, but Shoney Kilmonger was Black Panther for a little bit, too.

So who knows? No, I said, Shorri. I said, Shorong was Black Panther for a little while. And Shory was Black Panther for a little while. So. Would you think they'll ever be a white Black Panther? There was a white Panther at one point. Really?

Yeah. Take that. There was a white panther. Take that Take that Yeah, there was a white panther It didn't last long in the comic books though Why not?

I don't remember But there was a white panther in the comics For like a split second Oh no, it was a white tiger I'm sorry I'm sorry It's not as fun It's white tiger

I don't know who the fuck white tiger was I don't know Let's do some asking idiots Let's do we And get a ball of hell Who we got? Who we got? Ooh, let's keep it in the marble

Vane Which Marvel character Would you live as for a year, Shotsie? Marvel character would I live as for a year? Oh, man, that's a tricky one, dude. I mean, Spider-Man is always cool, but the hours suck. I think, you know, Wolverine is fire. Love Wolverine.

Yeah. Oh, Iron Man. We're talking about ones throughout history, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Iron Man, would be so much fun. Iron Man, done. Yeah, I don't know who I'd be. It'd be one of the big bads, though.

It'd be like Thanos. Oh, you go bad guy. Yeah. Oh, interesting. The thing about Marvel, a lot of their bad guys aren't really bad guys. Yeah, they have... They're just people who have a different perspective of the world. Yeah.

And they think shit should be a certain way. And so I don't either either either either, either King, because Kang's a time traveler. Yeah. So King has seen so many different generations. Yeah. So either Kang, the Conqueror, or Thanos just to get rid of some motherfuckers. Now, did you see the most recent?

and Thor? Yes. I did. What did you think? I haven't loved any of the Marvel Phase 4 movies. They're good. They're not great.

But I enjoyed Thor because I enjoy the comedic aspect of Thor. Like, it gave me what I wanted. Like, I didn't leave feeling like, oh, shit, that was disappointing. The thing about the movie that just don't feel like there's no stakes. Dr. Strange and the multiverse

madness was the only one that felt like there was some stakes attached to it. Right. You know what I mean? Thor didn't feel like there was no stakes attached to it. Yeah, I hear that. I thought that it was good,

but I thought the last 30 minutes was fantastic. The last 30 minutes. Like when the kids get the power. When the woman saved a date, you enjoyed it? It's not a woman. It's a Thor. It's a genderless Thor, okay? Very different.

Yes, through non-binary Thor. Yes, we're non-binary Thor. No, no, like when the kids got the power. Oh, I loved it. It was so endearing. I don't like Ms. Marvel, but y'all like that part. Oh. Wait, why?

Yeah, that kept by a little cheese. Oh, I love it. A little cheese on that pizza. But yeah, but I think they lean into the cheese. Like, I think it's almost like part of it. Yeah, and I still don't know what that was. The hammer being jealous and everything. I like that.

All that kind of stuff was fun. That was dope. That was dope. I enjoyed it. I mean, I enjoy all of the movies. Thor is one of the most slept on, what's the word catalogs of movies

in the Marvel universe yeah like the best trilogy to me is Captain America Captain America Winter Soldier Civil War Civil War and then you know

Infinity War and endgame Undefeat You're not getting too much better movie making than that After that for me It's the Thoris series Yeah well Guardians that thing is awesome To audience is really

I think I put Guardians above Door It's really fucking good I wouldn't disagree with that I think yeah Guardians to me is and then you add Thor into the Guardian's world

because I think he's in it now, right? Yeah. So it just makes it even better. He's phenomenal. Hemsworth is great. Yeah, he's amazing. He's great. He's great.

Yeah. Yeah. There's someone that is a similar question. He asks if you were that Benger, what's your power would you have? What's your hero? I feel like we did this before a super hair pilot. What's your name, though?

Leonard, bro, with a period. Leonard? Leonard. Leonard with a period. With a period. So you just use your name. Leonard with a period. Okay.

It's fire, right? You hear what you said? Think about what you just say, bro. Look out there's Leonard, bro. Hell fucking yeah. That's fire. You know what I like how you said that. Look out there's Leonard.

Okay. God, I don't know. What was your superpower to be, Leonard? I'm really, I really like, I like interdimensional travel. You just want to see what else is out there. I just want to see what else is out there. That's it. At this point, I want to see what else is out there.

I like interdimensional travel, which is so interested, right, that we're so interesting to see in other dimensions when we haven't even really explored, like, the whole world. Like, what's the woman's name who's seen every country? She's been to every country. She put a book out. Oh, what's her name? Like, yo, she's been to every country.

That's fired in me. What, but who is she? She's like an Instagram thought or? Nah, she ain't on Instagram thought. I think she was a flight attendant at one point. Oh. I could be wrong. But yeah, you just want to experience it all.

I like that. I think that makes sense. Interdimensional travel, man. That's what I want. What would you have superhero probably? I don't know. That's interesting. Like I love the idea of like flight or maybe even better than flight is like the ability

like disappear and then reappear in a place because I do also just want to experience all these things and like, you know, not only you're running late, but it's like, yeah, let's go to fucking Italy for the weekend. Let's do this. And I think at the end of the day, the superpower is just soaking up life. I don't know if I would want, what is it, where you can't be killed, immortality. I do think life might get boring if that is the case. Like, you just need the stakes.

Yeah, then everybody you love, I'm going to die. You got to deal with grief for the rest of your life. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I agree with that. Something to, like, allow something to allow me to experience life to the fullest. Say again? Taylor said that a pause button. That's the Harlem superhero.

Yeah. We don't need you holding up gay progress, Taylor. Yeah, for real, bro. Okay. Jesus. Okay, what else we got? Would you rather meet, Millie Muppett says, would you rather meet your ancestors or go to the future

and meet your great, great, great grandkids? Let me tell you all something that y'all may not know. Don't nobody care about great, great grandkids, bro. The only people that care about great, great grandkids is the great, great grandkids. If you go to the past and tell somebody, I'm your great, great grand kid. He's going to fucking kick you out and get you arrested. He does not know you.

He has no connection to you. You have a connection to your grandchild, right? You have a child. You have a child. Yes, you're right. Your child has a child. You know your grandchild. Okay.

Your great, great grandchild means that's your child's child's child. You ain't got no connection to them. Here's the thing, though. Would you use that an excuse just so you could see what the world is like and a few more generations. That's what I would do. I'd be, yeah, I want to go visit my great, great grandchild. But then I just see what kind of technology we had,

like see what the world was shaped like, which countries ain't around no more. It'd be for selfish reasons, though. Yeah, completely selfish. You come back here and tell everybody what's going to happen in the future. They're not going to believe you. You know you're right, but everybody's going to be dead

so we ain't going to see it. Nobody's going to be able to say, yo, Shala was right. Nobody's going to be able to say Shultz was right. Yeah, but you could do the, what is that fucking movie with Michael J. Fogg? Back to the Future? You do the Back to Future shit and just run it up gambling-wise.

I wouldn't even want to do that. No? Nah. Oh, maybe I would. Yeah. That'd be fired. Yeah. You're not changing that.

You just write with all the sports scores. Exactly. That would be so fire. You know how much ESPN would pay you and you wouldn't even want to be on there. You just have your own platform predicting everything, even golf. That's it. You know what I mean? Simple is that.

Yeah. That'd be fire. Let's end on this one. This is a good one. Derek and Peter says are men emotionally attracted to men and sexually attracted to women? I mean, you're using the word attracted. What? The fuck, Derek?

Wow, Derek. Damn, Derek. Back it up. But not like that, Derek. If you like men, just say that. Yeah, it's all good if you're emotionally attracted. to men's all good, man. Like, listen, man, this is 2020.

You don't got to give us all of these roundabout ways to get into what you want to get into. Derek? Derek? Our men are emotionally attracted to men and sexually attracted to women. That is like, wow. Yeah.

He's a wild bull. Taylor says you understand it. Come on, Taylor, let's go. Boom, boom. But you can make that boom tank my ass and started. No, when you take two steps down, I go, boom. Yo, that is crazy. For those of y'all know, it just happened.

For every step, Taylor took, Charlotte went, boom. Because she has to jump off the chair. That's so funny. Yes, she does. She's sitting in a director's chair, and she has to jump off, and she does it so carefully. It's like one, two, every single time. God, damn.

I can understand that because I know, especially when I was in college, I can't have with guys, right? So in that sense, like, they'd rather hang out with the boys and their girls. The reality of the situation is, Taylor's not wrong. We're all, you're, everybody that we love and care about, whether they're men, women, days, whatever,

we're all emotionally attracted to people. 100%. It's something about a person that either makes you happy, right? It makes you feel good. Feel good. Like, we're all emotionally attracted to people in some way, shape, or form. Yeah, 100%. It's just like, I don't understand.

When you were like that, Derek, honestly, it just sounds to me like you might be more than just emotionally attracted to a guy. And it's fine. Because it just makes it seem like you have an emotional mental attachment with men, but you're just using women for their bodies. So you use men for their bodies too. Suck on them. That's right. It should be all combined. Because, you know, sometimes you meet people, you're, I'm sure the first time you met your wife who was emotionally attracted to her as well as physically.

Yes. And that turns to marriage. Marriage. Same thing with me and my wife. You know what I mean? some people you meet and you know, especially relationships of opposite sex, you meet them and you have just an emotional connection because you should be very aware of who your energy goes up around, who your energy goes down around.

So certain people, your energy goes up around and that doesn't mean you want to be with them and sleep with them. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that's for any sex. So it's men, women, whatever. So Derek, to answer your question, just be gay, bro. It's fine.

It's fine, man. We support you. We got your back. That's your bat. Literally. All right. That's it. Make sure you keep downloading Andrew Shultz comedy special.
