Starting point is 00:00:17 Come here, Niala, stand in front of us. Yeah, Naila, come here. Can you just stand in front of the camera? You can bring your case at the end. Who do y'all think Naila's favorite rapper is? Yeah. You can tell who somebody's favorite rapper is, by the way they dressed. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:00:46 I think there's like some Tyler, the creator there. Okay. Nah, Tyler, way freshened, man. You think? I think they're out of these. I really think. The kicks match, man. You talk about this? No, no, no, no. Nile would be fresh. Nile do be fresh. Nile do be fresh. Nala fresh. Nala fresh. No, the outfit is fresh.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Nassie fresh. But are those actual snowboard pants? That's why I said, can I ask you a question? And this is like, don't take this any weird way. Why are there like ventilation pockets in the crotch area?
Starting point is 00:01:17 Nala be so fresh, though, because Nala is like casual fresh. You know what I'm saying? Like she could, like, if she was drinking out of a red cup, you might walk behind putting some change in it, but you'd be like, nah. She'd be like, you'd be like, nah.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Not with their fresh sneakers. Yeah, the sneakers throw it off. Like, nah. So you say Tyler, you say Missy. Because of the baggie Pettys. What do you think? Who do you think, Charlie? Who do you think?
Starting point is 00:01:42 Oh, that's J. Cole all day. That's definitely. Oh, yeah, yeah, 100%. I like the fish. She loved that. She loves the city bike. Oh, my God. You do?
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yes. I didn't know that. You're like a bicycle? You ride a bicycle? That's what J. Cole do. Wow. Wow. She just dropped an end bomb on me, bro.
Starting point is 00:02:01 She did. Yeah. I ain't hear it. What? Tell me, Cracker. Tell me what you wear. Tell me what you wear. It's a crack ass.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Oh, no. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. You're like, that felt pretty good. Yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Oh, man. Listen, how was the shows this weekend, man? Oh, it was crazy, man. Andrew Shultz was out here looking like a goddamn rock star, man. That shit bought a tear to my eye. I'm not going to be. You did text me. No, I did, man,
Starting point is 00:02:33 because that shit just like, I just like to see my motherfuckers winning, man. I like seeing my people winning. And that shit was like, yeah. Damn, Andrew took the stairs. I'm serious,
Starting point is 00:02:45 because there's no elevated of success. You got to take them fucking stairs. And when you take them stairs and get the way you want to be, that shit looks like, whoa. No, I felt good. You'll be in shape. It was really fucking cool.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And it was just cool to experience it with all my guys, too. That's the best part. It's the same crew. Like, I mean, just having all the guys that I've known from like literally before this, you know, like, I knew Dove, who's basically managing all these things. I knew my first friend in college. Jamil, who's been, you know, selling our ads. Like, I knew that's my first friend in high school. Like, to have them all be part of this whole thing and like Alice Media, you know, after Greg, obviously, but like first person doing the video and the visuals and all the stuff and Mark coming along and Vala and all these other people, Miles, like everybody's just been part of it. And like opportunity, prove themselves, we execute. That's right. That's fucking seen, man, strong ones. That's it.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And they're making it easier for the next generation because even listening to Mark, Mark was like, man, I was doing fucking open mics two years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm in front of, you know, 3,000 people perform and it's just like, that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to make it easier
Starting point is 00:03:51 for the people coming behind you. But they earn it, though. They earn it. Work up. Nothing's given here. It's like, you get an opportunity. Like, what are you going to do with that opportunity? And that's what I was telling you,
Starting point is 00:04:00 like I've always, I've always taken from you. Like, we're having this discussion yesterday, so it feels we're rehashing it, but I think it's important that we tell them it's like, like culture gets passed down through people. That's right. So like, seeing like what you did for me, like you basically were like,
Starting point is 00:04:16 here's this opportunity. And you don't even present it like that. You're like, yo, we both do things, but I was given an opportunity. You had a massive audience. But you're not saying, you're not telling me exactly what I have to do.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I have to learn from you, but I also have to take advantage of that opportunity. There are people I'm sure you give opportunities They don't take advantage of them. They fuck it up all the time. So then what are you going to do? You're going to drag them along? Well, I mean, when you're a point guard, you just keep passing the ball.
Starting point is 00:04:38 You just give me some shooters. Get some shooters. That's it. Find me some shooters. My passing skills aren't going to be diminished ever. I just want people that when they get this motherfucker, they get hit shot. They could go. That's what I was saying is like everybody on the team, like they earn their shit.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Like they earn, like Alex earned his fuck. They put time in prison. Yeah, he did. Yeah. Oh. And I told him. And I told him he loved this shit, right? I told him before he left, I said, bro, you're not white.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And you did tell him. Why used to always say that to Alex. Like, look, you're in a good position, but you're not white. You care. Yeah, don't think you get away. Andrew get away with, all right? But now, it's just great to see all them take advantage of it. Like, just trying to, like, bring people on that, like, I don't know, have that same hunger.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Because you, I think you and I are willing to do things and wax and obviously people in this room, we're willing to do things because we know what it could get us. So, like, I don't like working with people there, too. short-term goal-oriented. You know what I mean? Like they worried about like the first thing. They worried about getting all their money in the first weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm like, you don't realize like if you're here, you will be rich. You'll be good. Nobody's not going to make money. But when I got to deal with that, I'm like, oh, why? Oh, you don't care. Recognize.
Starting point is 00:05:48 That's good. So when you get people to actually believe and everything. Oh, that's when they go hard for you see it. That's where you can pick your players. It might be somebody that people might not think that's so cool, but this person can make it make sense, man.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I think that dude all day. Recognize opportunity when it's not a paycheck attached, man. Yeah. You know, privileged position to learn a thing or two. Yeah. For real. You can't lose. Like, I just, man, I just love to see it.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And I love the whole Rick Fland nature boy swag. Jumping off the goddamn PJ with the fucking robe on. You know what I mean? Walking out with the Dallas cheerleading is, you know? Hey, bro. Hey, bro. Hey, bro. We're in Dallas.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You know what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to walk out of me? Right. And then just watching people, because when I posted it, I saw people saying, yo, that was the funniest comedy show I ever been to him. Really? Oh, hell. Yeah. Y'all was in Dallas, right? Yeah, Dallas and Houston. Dallas and Houston. It was people literally in my country, yeah, yeah, I was the funniest show ever been to in my life. That's what you want. Yeah. Once you do that, sky's the limit. Now, when motherfuckers start talking like that, you, you, you, you out of here. Bro, I said that to, I was just talking to the guys on Flager,
Starting point is 00:06:52 And I was just like, like when people say, oh, this is my sixth show I've been to or my fifth show of it was I've been to. And I was like, yeah, even from the beginning, I always is like, my longevity will be in delivering the best show every night. Because I know people got an Uber. They got babysitters. They re-ranks their schedule. They called their mom to take care of their kid. Like so much went into those people coming out that night. So I'm like, I got to make sure that not only is just the best show you've ever experienced, but if I come up,
Starting point is 00:07:22 come back here, you will feel crippling pain if you don't go. That's right. Like, you know you are missing out on the event. That's right. So they come back and get it. And it's like, I know motherfuckers who go out and road. And it's like, they just collecting a check. And it's like, people ain't going to come back.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Yeah. Never. Why? Same joke. It's like, yo, you got to go. You got to push. No, the only way to gain longevity, the only way to gain consistency is to be consistently excellent.
Starting point is 00:07:46 You got to go out there every night and at least score 25. Yeah. You only as good as your last game. That's it. Yeah. I don't know about that either, though. Oh, shit. You smash a girl great for two months,
Starting point is 00:07:58 and you have one night you're not early. That's your last time. Yeah, the only reason I say that is because, like, LeBron James been playing 19 years. If LeBron James goes out and scores 10. Yeah, we're going to forgive him. Yeah, we're not going to say LeBron's only his last game. But what if it was six games in a row,
Starting point is 00:08:13 you know what they're going to start saying. You start falling. Oh, he's a bomb. He never could shoot, and they're going to start. But it don't take away with what you've done. So if you've smashed, so let's put it in the sex category. If you've been smashing a girl and then the last six times is whacked and she started going around telling you that you whack, you probably wasn't that good the first 30 times. You might have been lying to you.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Damn, yeah, that's fucked up. That was personal. That was personal. All I'm saying is deliver the show, man. Deliver the show. That's what we try to do. Deliver the show. You know, and there's nothing like success when you bring your people along for the ride.
Starting point is 00:08:50 And that's what that's like the biggest. thing I want people to take away from any of this, right? If what you're doing doesn't benefit other people and put other people in position, it's not big enough. You wouldn't feel good. You want to feel good about it. It's not big enough. It's like, when we hear these people go like, success is lonely. It's like, for you.
Starting point is 00:09:09 For you? Keep the homies around. Yeah. Now, don't get me wrong. You got to put yourself in that position to be able to carry that weight. Yeah. But sometimes early on, you might try to take on too much weight too early and you're not even strong enough yet. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:23 And you got to make sure the way you're carrying around is like people who want it just as much as you. That's right. If you're just carrying around people so you guys could party after the show is like that's what you're going to get. But if everybody there is excited about their specific thing and they are obsessed with their specific thing. That's right. It's like you guys could create something really special. Like a real point guard, shooting guards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:43 You got a center. Like everybody playing there. They know their role. They know what they got to do. And they're like in love with that. That's right. I love the motherfucker that is in love with their thing. their thing.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And sometimes that's hard because like, you know, there's ego in this shit, you know, and this you know, sometimes sometimes you might want to bring somebody on the team I'm sure you experience this and they come on the team as a producer. But you know, like deep down,
Starting point is 00:10:08 they really want to be a talent. And that's fine, but I need to know that. Yes. When shit starts fucking up. Yes. I know what the problem is. Yeah. You can put you all in it.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Because maybe it's time for you to switch positions. Maybe you've outgrown this position. That's all. Or, but then you also have situations where, like, somebody comes on and, like, they just want to be a videographer. They're obsessed with it. And it's like, now they get to do the thing they're obsessed with. That's right. They're going to go above and beyond.
Starting point is 00:10:35 They're going to work 14 hours. All day. 16. Because that's their passion anyway. It's not like they're clocking out so they could do their passion. That's right. They clock in to do their passion. So those are the best.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Oh, I love it. We got to get y'all out to a show, man. I'm coming. I already know. I think I'm going to come to. to the Philly show. The Philly one? Yeah, I was looking at the schedule yesterday.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I think I'm going to come to the Philly show. Vegas, we got to, Vegas, we got to do some show. I want to come out to it with the tigers. Yeah. You want the white tiger. And I might come. I might come, then. I got to come out on the tiger if I'm in Vegas, right?

All the whole shit we used to do back in the day You used to do back in the day, though Back in the day, you didn't go hard Remember when you did that We were like in Foxwood or something like that? I don't remember what I mean?
Starting point is 00:13:41 I don't know, you just went up there like You just said literally the least amount of things you Because I said their full name. You know why? I'm going to tell you why. Because I hate being on stage at comedy shows because motherfuckers think I'm about to do some fucking comedy. I'm not a goddamn comedian.
Starting point is 00:13:57 You said you're like, because you're like, you know, you guys could be anywhere in the world, but you're here. And then you're like, and then you're like, actually, y'all can't be anywhere in the world. You can't be anywhere in a while. You know, bro. All right, give it up for your first out. Just make the whole crowd feel like dog shit. I used to walk out and be like, look, man, I'm about to.
Starting point is 00:14:16 sit in my ass down. I pull out of stool. I'm about to sit down so y'all can never say Charlamagne out here trying to stand. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, Luther Variety. Variety had me this year. Like about a month ago, they had me in like the, what was it, the top most impactful people in comedy?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Really? Yeah. I could, no, I can see it. No. Your donkey in the days are fucking hilarious. Yeah, no, bro. I mean, I understood. And I told them that. I'm like, yo, I'm not a comedian. But he's on it, though. He's on it. The donkey the day is
Starting point is 00:14:46 comedic. It's funny. And it is super impactful because if you donkey today and light someone up, that's the news story sometimes. Yeah. So that is impactful. I understood what Variety was saying, though, because they had, like, executives in there, too. You know what I'm saying? So they was talking about, like, the black
Starting point is 00:15:02 effect and the slated comedians on the black effect, and they're brilliant idiots and things like that. You know what I'm saying? And so they were just talking about the platforms and people I put on the platforms. You know what I mean? So I understood that. I was like, okay, cool. Because I ain't, you know, I'm not out here telling no jokes.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Like, I respect the craft of comedy too much. Like, that shit is not a game, bro. Like, you out there playing one on, you do. Word up. You out there playing. I'd be crickets. I'd be like, come on, man. That shit is so fucking stressful.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Q&A. Bro, you out there playing one on none, bro. Like, you out there just you. That shit ain't even boxing. I guess it is like boxing. Shadowboxing. It is like boxing. I think comics like to say it's like boxing.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I never heard a boxer say it's like comedy. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, we all. like to romanticize the shit we do, make it seem more dangerous. No, I rather get punched in the face. I run the box before I go do that.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yeah, word up. Yeah. I'd rather get punched in the face and have 2,000 people just staring at you. Yeah, I was shadow box with you all day. If somebody just tells me, oh, why, stand right here and give me some jokes. Word up.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I don't have it. Because that shit is frustrating. When you just standing out there with the mic and everybody start booing your ass, what are you doing that situation? I wouldn't know. You never got booed ever? No.
Starting point is 00:16:13 I like that. Oh, I had people upset at me. and that kind of shit, that shit happened at shows. And I've had people throw things at me and that kind of stuff. But, like, when you come out to one of my shows, you know what to expect. Back in the day, that's like, back in the day, that's like a situation where people didn't know what to expect. And I had maybe some jokes that were a little wild, you know, and they weren't ready for
Starting point is 00:16:34 that kind of material. But people come out now for that. Yeah, you come out to my shows. They want the flagranty. They want the flagranty. You're going to get a wild show, man. Yeah, we had Marlon Williams on Breakfast Club last week, and he said, like, the stage is the one place that you you can't get canceled.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Like the stage is the one place where you can, you know, say what it is that you want to say. Yeah. You know what I mean? Is it all we got that? I was just playing. It's comedy. Because it's in the context of comedy, but I don't, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I agree, but then I don't know if you still can't cause outrage and backlash. I think you can, depending, like, who you are. Like, I think a lot of that outrage and backlash is based on, like, who people think you are. you know or they already want to cancel you that's the thing but like with like remember tracy morgan like tracy morgan was this like lovable adorable guy yeah what is that 40 rock 30 rock yeah yeah yeah and then they go see his stand-up and it's like some wild flagering shit so there's all these like soccer moms going yo like what is this like what's going on here they're trying to cancel
Starting point is 00:17:35 but tracy morgan early in his career that's going up and like deaf comedy and jam and shit nobody's surprised at what he's saying because they know what they're coming for but most comedians have a dark sense of humor. It's rooted in trauma a lot of the time. Humor is dark. Like there's no the thing is victimless humor. Somebody's going to be the victim. Somebody got to be the victim. Sometimes it's you. Sometimes it's someone else. That's right. And I'd let it be
Starting point is 00:17:55 you. That's it. Like, you know what? Stages is literally like, you know when we have thoughts in our head that are fucked up, but we don't say it? Yeah. It's, you are saying it every single thing you think. And that's what makes you chuckle. And it's a safe space for it. It should be. We all enter in this room going, We're going to hear some wild shit, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:18:16 Even if it's not true, because jokes aren't true. I hate when people are like, oh, all drugs are true. It's true and jokes. That's not always true. But they're not true. But the feeling might be real. Yeah. Like, remember them old, like Jewish comics, remember they would be like,
Starting point is 00:18:29 Take my wife, please, or that kind of shit. Like, you don't really want someone to take your wife, but your wife's annoying you. So you're like, maybe someone's just taker. Like that, that is a joke. And you're laughing at the audacity of a man saying that about his wife. Take my wife, please. Yeah, that was one of Goodfellas.
Starting point is 00:18:43 What was that? That part. It was in the movie? It was a movie. The guy said, I remember when they were doing jokes. He was like, hey, man, take my wife, please. It was an old one-liner. He was probably trying to be like Henny Youngman or something like that.
Starting point is 00:18:54 To your point to, everybody has to be a victim in the joke. That's why I hate when people say, I don't want to be the butt of your jokes. What you want to be the dick? You know what I mean? Like, what are you talking about? Like, why can't be the arm with the head? Like, why I got to be the butt? Like, why I got to be that part of your body?
Starting point is 00:19:04 Like, you know what I mean? Like, you're just, you're just the material that we're on right now. You know your ass. You know? And if it is too sensitive, you just say it. Yeah. Just tell me to back off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:20 We're not going to back off. You know what I mean? Now we're going to really push harder. You know what I mean? But at least I know I understand why you're a little bit upset. But I think to that point, too, it's like sometimes we be discussing other people's traumas. That's the thing, right? So we don't know what triggers other people.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Like Marlon Williams got a special coming out this week on HBO Max. It comes out on the 19th. It's called, I think it's called You Know What It Is. And he was telling us about a joke that got taken out. You know what I mean? And so we kept it in the interview, but we bleeped it, blah, they blah, this and that. And when I heard the joke, I'm like, I can see why they would want to say that out. Can you say it or not?
Starting point is 00:20:00 I'm not going to, I'm not going to say it because, you know, I don't want to, it's a reason that HBO. Max looked out as a reason Breakfast Club bleeped it and just people are so sensitive. But I can see why that would possibly upset someone because that could be somebody's trigger. Yeah. And also, like, you've decided, like, you signed a contract to do a show for a network. That's right. The network has a responsibility to a lot more people than just your audience. Absolutely. So they have to consider the people that might watch this that don't like that kind of stuff. And that's the risk that they take. Absolutely. But you also sign the deal. And you sign the deal knowing there's certain things that they're not supportive of. Same thing with me. Like, I understand that. Like, it's easy when you don't have a deal to go, I'm not changing my comments.
Starting point is 00:20:43 many at all. But you sign a seven-figure deal and all of a sudden you're like, oh, I have to be an adult. You got to be an adult. Like, you get to dress a certain way at work. When you go into the office in corporate America, they're like, we want you to wear pants. We want you to wear a shirt. Shiny shoes. It's shining the fuck. And you go, you could say I want to wear shorts and they could be like, that's not why you sign the contract. Yeah. This is football. You have rule. Every job you have rules. Yes, 100%. So I'm not, I, I'm one of these people like, I think that your humor should be whatever the fuck you want to be. And you can still do that at your shows.
Starting point is 00:21:13 You can still do in all these different places. You can do it on YouTube. Put your shit however the fuck you want on YouTube. That's what I do. I put on Instagram YouTube however the fuck I want. But if you are signing a deal with the network, you have to understand that they are going to feel liable for your shit and they might get in trouble and they might not want it.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And that's decision you have to make. You want to make millions of dollars? Then you might have a cut of jokes. Man, that's, yo, by the way, that's, I love that. I was just talking to Aaron McGruda about that, you know, this weekend. And, you know, he's an executive producer on the gods a truth on Comedy Central September 17th, 10 p.m. But it's like, yo, do you really want to lose millions of dollars for some words?
Starting point is 00:21:48 So, and you're not, here's the thing, here's the thing. Like with some words. That's somebody else made up. You're not even losing it. You put those same words, that same joke up on Instagram. Put it on YouTube. It can be out there. No one's stopping you.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, yeah. You have the freedom to do comedy just like you want. Absolutely. You sign a contract with these rules. Yeah. Like when you sign to be a fucking basketball player or football player, they say you can't go skiing. You can't smoke. You can't smoke.
Starting point is 00:22:12 You don't go on four by fours or whatever fuck they are. What do you love more? You love skiing. You love riding motorcycles. If you love fucking making millions of dollars to do basketball or football. Go hang out with Meek Mill if you want, bro. Or make millions of dollars playing a fucking football. This is it.
Starting point is 00:22:26 But you can still put your shit out. That's a beautiful thing about the internet. Back in the day, I understand the pushback. You're like, I want to put my comedy out the way it is. Now, by all means. Oh, but now you want to make millions of dollars. Yeah. Well, that always comes with a caveat.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Nobody in history made millions of dollars without a country. But you know what you did that was smart? When you started putting stuff up on Instagram and on YouTube, they were still well-crafted, thought-out jokes. Of course. So even if you were touching on edgy material, it was still well-thought-out and crafted. What I've been telling all these comics,
Starting point is 00:22:57 y'all not getting in trouble on the stage. You're getting in trouble because you're doing getting in front of ease and just talking. Because you're just on Twitter, just tweeting away. Like, I don't want to lose nothing for just some shit that we just... That you don't care about. Exactly. Fuck about.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Son, it was, bruh, I tweeted some shit about Afghanistan yesterday, right? And I'm like... Why? And then I started getting all this pushback
Starting point is 00:23:21 and then I started, I was about to start arguing and I was like... Why are you about this hill? No, no, I literally said to myself, I was like, oh, I don't care about Afghanistan. I never have cared about Afghanistan
Starting point is 00:23:30 and I don't care about in the future, most likely. Now, that's sad, that's unfortunate. But I'm a fraud if I'm going to start arguing about some shit that I really do not care about.
Starting point is 00:23:39 So I'm like, this is not worth it. That's why I don't get caught up in the algorithm conversation. Yeah. Whatever everybody is talking about on social media, I take a peek at it. And I'm like, there's nothing my voice can add to this conversation. And if I do have an opinion about it, I'm going to talk about it on Breakfast Club. I'm going to talk about it here on the brilliant of these podcasts.
Starting point is 00:23:57 So where I have a nice well, thought out, you know, conversation about something, even though they're going to still cut it up and bits and pieces and take it and flip it in how they want to. It did that that does last week with the good. I saw you going viral for that. The, what was it, the verses? You said, six, nine, a watch Eminem and a verses. Did you think I was serious when we were having a movie?
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, 100%. Hey, shut up, man. Me too. I'm serious. I thought you were serious. I understood what you were saying, though. It was a generational thing, yeah. But, listen, you know what?
Starting point is 00:24:25 They accept this more. That's my point. I get it. We got to be impeccable with our word. You know what I'm saying? We got to say things that we only really mean. Now, I didn't, my whole point with that conversation was, I think to some of these kids,
Starting point is 00:24:36 a record like Gummel might slap harder than things. an Eminem catalog. These guys don't know. These guys and girls don't know Eminem catalog. My name is going to hit, though. Huh? You think so?
Starting point is 00:24:46 My name is. But you're almost 40. My name is. My name is. You know what? You know what? Slips. What?
Starting point is 00:24:52 I can say. But I was just like, I'm like, somebody paid for that, though. Somebody paid for that. What? For that to go out? That was four months. We talked about that four months ago. I don't even remember.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I saw it on all the blog. I'm starting to wonder, brus. Like, these are paid campaign. Okay. Come on. They got to be, right? Like, everybody. Every blog talks about it.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Pay campaign. And we supposed to believe this is. Pay campaign. And what was it to like smear you to like? No, no, no. I mean, it looks good for six nine. You know what I'm saying? In the conversation of versus right now.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And everybody winning. Yeah. That's what I think. I think I think a lot of these stuff be paid campaigns. And I'm not mad at it. You know what I mean? That's fucking interesting. I'm not mad at it.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Rent with it. He's starting to get some buzz. He had the combo and act stuff. Other people started to talk. He's doing videos with the NELK boys. Keep the flame. going. Let me throw a couple bucks at these different blogs. Why not? It's nothing. It's only right.
Starting point is 00:25:43 It's nothing. Did you think this stuff just organically? I don't get me wrong. A lot of this stuff does organically happen. But ain't no conversation from four months to go. Just organically popping on. You know what I mean? Not that convoy. Now, if it was a convoy about some edgy shit we was talking about. What was black one? It was viral with that doo-doo. I mean, it goes every week. I literally get somebody. Oh, you on this year? Every week. Y'all pay for that shit. Literally.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Yeah, you got enough money. I don't even know. Y'all are going to pay all that money from the chicken farm and the Star Wars. All that's going right to pay that, baby. But a lot of, but I thought, I thought that the conversation we were having was so absurd. Like, even if you continue to listen to the convoy, I started saying Britney Spitz will beat Eminem in the universe. Brittany would. No, Brittany, definitely.
Starting point is 00:26:28 No, we got nice. Hey. But that's my point. Brittany beat the breaks over most of these girls, man. Especially now. I ain't nobody rooting against me. Come on. But that's my point.
Starting point is 00:26:38 Those are versus matchups that will never happen. It's absurd. Why would Eminem be doing a versus with Brittany? Why would Eminem be doing a versus with? Who should Eminem do a versus with? I don't think there's nobody
Starting point is 00:26:49 he could do it when he's in his own lane. Nas. I mean, they're both lyricists. That's the thing. Like that probably be the best. I think that you could put them in there. Renegade.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Your renegade is a fire. Renegade is fire. Eminem and Nas might not be bad. It might be good. Right? Nah, that might not be bad because they're both two top tier lyricists.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And they're not like... Okay, Niala's a DJ. Come in, Nala. Come in, come in, come in, Naila. They're not like big beats people either, right? Is that mic on right there? Is that mic on right there? Walk around.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Naila, sit on the speaker. No, no, sit on the speaker right there. Sit on that speaker right there. No, no, you go like that. And then... What do you think? Nile is a DJ. Turn to the mic.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Is that working? Is that working? No. You look like you're about to tell everybody Jesus is coming. Jesus is coming. Noah's Ark. Jesus is coming.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Get right. Okay. What do you think? That's a fact, though, actually. Jesus is coming, get right. Jesus ain't coming back. Yes, he is? Yeah, well, no, he is not.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Why not? Jesus is going to, no, Jesus is sitting back. I'll see y'all when y'all get there. I'm not coming back. No, he's not. I'll see y'all. What do you think? No, I'll see y'all.
Starting point is 00:28:08 What do you think that's a good one? Nah, I don't want to see nigh than him and them in them. I would want to see Nas and Jay. Nyes and J. Yeah. We've seen that all right. I don't want to see Niz and J. Me neither.
Starting point is 00:28:17 We've seen that already. When they did, when they did their rants back and forth, when they did their disses back and forth, that was always. Nogne J, stop it. Yeah, I don't want to see Nause and J. Nogh. Nogh got three songs with a good beat. Stop being this.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Stop being this respect. But everybody's so excited when he does a song with Calut. Who? When Noss and JZ did a song with Calut, everybody was excited. We appreciated about verses. Why would be? Because versus, I don't think that's a good matchup.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I don't think Jay and not, I think it sounds good. It looks good on paper because of their history. But songwise, I don't think Jay and Nas is a good matchup. Name the songs. I mean, it's kind of like Gizi and Gucci. Sound-wise, they don't really go. But because of the history. You're being disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Gucci got, go to guys slappers. Gucci and Gizi are actually in the same vein, in the same lane category. That's all trap music. Let me clarify. We're just talking about hits. And I think Nas doesn't have, like, we could all name the hits. right? What are the Nas hits?
Starting point is 00:29:16 I mean, it depends what you call hits because NAHs got a lot of like cultural anthony. Yeah, but you can play stuff like Life's a bitch and then you die. You know what I mean? Hate Me Now. Like the message, I love, like, I love the message off it was written. Like fake thugs,
Starting point is 00:29:31 no love, you get dislugs, C.B.4, Gus, like I'm saying like, Nile's got cultural anthems. Now's and J are two of my top seven favorite MCs of all times. Sure, sure. But I just feel like that's why it's got to be bars. Like if you just make it about bars,
Starting point is 00:29:46 then the audience is going to be ready for that. That's why I think Naz N, M would be pretty dope. I think Nass N. I'm not going to lie. Nyes and M ain't bad. That's the verse. And you know who would do it? M.
Starting point is 00:29:56 That ain't a bad version, though. M&M really looks up to Naz. I think it's like Jay-Z, Nas and Biggie, and maybe Pock. I think those are the ones. I don't know what the, there's no backstory that could bring that together
Starting point is 00:30:06 other than saying like these are two of the greatest lyricist to ever live. Yeah. I love it. Who do you, who do you want to see Eminem go against? I don't know. That's my, I don't know. I don't know who Eminem will go against.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Emma's really in the lane of his own, bro. Yeah. I don't, I don't. What about, uh, Twister? All right. Okay, guys. And I love Twister, but come on, that's not a good matchup. Like, these matchups matter, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Yeah. Matchups matter. Matchups matter. We go on them. We go on them. That's what I'm saying. Matchups matter. Like, you could get a great top-tier artist and put them against the wrong matchup
Starting point is 00:30:38 and they could get embarrassed. Okay, okay, groups-wise, outcast-verse. Tribe-cault. Do you think there's a little generational thing there, though? Not for, not, not for us, because I mean, that's our generation. Outcast and tribe. If you're 40 and up, Outcast and Tribal both generations. Well, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:30:58 If you're under 40, you still had Outcast, but you didn't really have Tribe. Yeah, exactly. Right? You probably heard tail end of Outcast, but you weren't hearing that much tribe. How young 30, though? I think 30 and younger might have missed Tribe. And I'm not tried. Yeah, Tribe, I missed me.
Starting point is 00:31:15 You just wasn't listening, but Tribe was definitely around. I'm going to gospel. I'll listen to Gospel. Outcast and Tribe would be for the nomad. Okay, what about this? I don't know if this is fair, but what if it's Outcast, Wuttein? I don't like that matchup. Really? I just don't like that matchup.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I don't like, I think Outcats and Tribe are both in the same vein. I don't like the Outcast Wu-Tang matchup. Okay. Too totally different, like, okay. Wooten to Hush Street. I mean, they, they, I don't know. I mean, Al-Qas and they, I don't know. I mean, Outcast makes street music, socially conscious street music, but it's just two different.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Okay, here's a wild one. Lanes. Outcast Migos. No. That would be fun? It would be fun. You don't think that'd be fun. It's very Atlanta. But to my point that-
Starting point is 00:31:53 Atlanta go crazy, the old heads would be going crazy for Outcast and the young kids would be going crazy to me-go. It'd be a big listening party, but we talk about verses, like you said, it's a little different. Yeah, fair enough. But to my point that we was making in the last podcast four months ago that got taken out of context, it's generational. So you got a whole generation who grew up on Migos who probably think Migo 20 songs slap way harder. And then you got a generation that grew up on Outcast
Starting point is 00:32:16 that's like, no, you're bugging. This is that classic shit. That's why when Little Kim said that she wanted to do Nikki, I was like, I think it might turn out bad for her because everybody is going to know Nikki's stuff because it's the most current. Generation of ones are very tricky. Actually, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Generation ones are tricky. Because all of Kim's fans know Nikki's shit. But Nikki's fans don't know all Kim's shit. That's right. So you're at a disadvantage because they came up as hip hop fans so they're not going to stop listen to hip hop
Starting point is 00:32:46 now that Nicky becomes a biggest artist. Would they make everybody want to go to listen to a lot of Kim's shit? Because right now, Jada kissing them, everybody's saying it's the best group ever because they just now everybody listens to that is true. And sex never goes away. And that's what they both go. So I don't think that.
Starting point is 00:33:02 That is true. But that's about their performance. So like Kim would have to like, really kill and impressed because- That's what Jada just did. Yeah, I know, but Jada did one before and he wasn't MVP. He was.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I picked Jada to beat Fab, and he definitely did that night. I'm not saying he didn't win. I don't really have a preference on who I thought won or not, but I'm just saying, like, the internet wasn't going crazy for him like they are for this because of the performance. So in order for Kim to get all that love, she would have to really come and shit on this.
Starting point is 00:33:33 It was the performance, but you know what that performance created a feeling. Now, let's talk about feelings because we were talking about it earlier with the stand-up, right? With music, the reason is hard with these generational things is because certain artists gave us a feeling. There's just certain things that a 20-year-old kid is going, certain things he's not going to understand about reasonable doubt. You know what I'm saying? He didn't grow up on that. There's certain things the kids not going to understand about, you know, Southern Playalistic Cadillac music or Go-Mob, Soul Food.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Like, there's certain experiences. That's my point. There's lies. Go go. But I'm just saying it's certain experiences. We forget about that with the music. We think about the girl house we was going to. Or the dance we might have went to.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Or riding around with our boys when we young smoking weed. It wasn't no Twitter. It wasn't no Instagram. That's what I'm saying. There's experiences attached to this music. You know why Jada and the locks rang it off of people? Because that night, they gave everybody a feeling. It was their childhood.
Starting point is 00:34:29 It was a feeling. Even if it wasn't your childhood, even if you was just a young kid, you've never felt that. Like, oh, shit. That Jada kiss dude wrapped his ass off. Like, that shit felt like KRS1 for me. KRS1 rocking a crowd. Dougie Fresh rocking a crowd.
Starting point is 00:34:44 So kids never felt that. So they went there and they went to scream his music because they had a feeling they never felt before. And they wanted to attach themselves that feeling. Yeah, and it's like certain foods, like desserts. Like you have pumpkin pie. It's Thanksgiving. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:57 That's right. That's what music will do, man. That's right. That's different. So when you talk about generational stuff, like Domingo's give a certain generation a feeling. I like the Migos, but I don't feel the Migos like Nile of me because I'm not outside. I'm not in the clubs with straightening. Come on. I like the song straightening, but it's different
Starting point is 00:35:16 when you see the club while into it. You know what I mean? Outcast, I was outside. Yeah. And I understand what Outcast is actually saying. I don't understand what Migos are saying. They probably got a good song. And these young kids are listening to the Outcast songs and they're hearing like, I'm colder than a polar bear's toenail. You're like, why are you even talking about that? Then the media comes up. That's what they're on right now. But we were listening to like, that's the cultest thing.
Starting point is 00:35:40 You have a fire. A polar man's told him? Yeah. Nah, for real. But yeah, that's all. It's about giving people that feeling. So generational ones that are tricky. They're tricky.
Starting point is 00:35:49 But it's such a great concept, the verses, and it's so simple. It was going to get even better. Why? Because it's live performances. Oh, yeah. Now we have the audience. And I saw Damon Williams say he want to challenge Dave Chappelle to a versus. And I was looking in the comments.
Starting point is 00:36:03 All I see is people saying, Dave Chappelle are. watch Damien Williams. Then I saw some people saying who is because y'all don't know. When I saw that, I was like, oh, this would be dope. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Damon Williams versus Dave Chappelle, but that's because I- Comedy jokes, though? I don't know what it would be. It can't be for old jokes because a joke is like a magic trick. Like, once you know where it's going. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:26 It's not going to be the same laugh. You need to have some sort of misdirect. But this generation ain't never heard none of them shit. Yeah. It's probably people that never heard Dave Chappelle killing me soft. Isn't that crazy? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:37 I didn't even hear it. And they probably haven't heard. Go killing me softly. It was so fucking brilliant, man. Oh, no, that's amazing. For what it's worth, those two specials, and this is, those two specials happened before Shepal's show.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Which one? No, no. One happened after? Killing me softly was before, definitely. And then one after. I don't remember one after. There was for what it's worth and killing me softly.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I'm from, but they were so his holiest stomach funny, brough? I think so. Killing me softly, definitely. Like, classic jokes. Like, oh, man, when he called a police, police and...
Starting point is 00:37:07 That's what the J-Rul joke came from. The J-Rul, but remember the joke about when he called the police because some people broke into his house and the police showed up and tried to arrest him. Yeah, I do remember. I don't remember how I went. Because he's black. They're like, he's still here.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Yeah, he's still here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit is fucking... That's my life. Is that right? It's like, I'm scared to go out of the house right now. I'm like, you leave, you forget your keys? You just got to move.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And what's so crazy about it? You can't break in your window. Think about how that joke's the test of time because just last week, maybe it was a week ago, the realtor, it was a black realtor was showing a house. Yeah, I heard about that. And the police pulled up and thought he was the suspect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Because somebody called the police, like, yo, there's a black guy over here, goes it out. He was the realtor. Yeah. But Damon Williams is, you know, Damon Williams is beyond a legend because there's nothing he doesn't make you laugh at. He makes you laugh on stage. Yes. He makes you laugh in person.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Yes. And live in color. Oh, we live in color. Forget it. Come on, man. I don't think there's a, I don't think there's a black man or even a white person who has this much classic characters from a sketch comedy show is Damon Wayans. You know it's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Damon Williams was handyman, homie to clown, one of the men on film. He was Farrak. No, he was Mike. No, he wasn't Mike Tyson. I really was Mike Tyrake. I think he was Minister Farrak on. Yeah. He played the prison guy who used to say the crazy words in jail.
Starting point is 00:38:26 You know what I mean? Like, Damon Williams has legendary sketch comedy characters from Justin Living Color. Like, you ain't, like, Damon Wayans different. Yeah. I don't look at that and think, oh, Dave Chappelle just going to win just because you know Dave Chappelle. Go do your history on Damon Williams. That's a great matchup.
Starting point is 00:38:42 It just depends what they compete on. If they're competing in characters, then I think Damon Wayans has like a great shot. But if they're competing in stand-up, like Dave is... Think Dave got it? He's a better stand-up. And that's no knock on Damon. Like, we're talking about Dave Chappelle. But what would they do?
Starting point is 00:38:56 They go joke for joke? That's the thing that's weird. Like, I don't think comedy should be competitive because I think comedy in its best kind of alienates in all. audience a little bit and then brings them back. Like, all the great comics make you go, wait, what? And then you make a laugh, like, ah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if it's a competition and you're making all your audience.
Starting point is 00:39:16 It's all mama jokes. It's got to be all mama jokes. Oh, they got to go back and forth and roast. That'd be interesting. I don't want to see roast. I don't want to see roast. I don't want to see roast. Because every comic's not a great roast comic.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That's true. You know what I mean? Like there's some comics, like somebody like Capone, Slutta Coupon, he's a comedian, you know, based out of New York City. Like that, you're not going to beat Capone in no Rose. I'm gonna light your ass. Who got hit up not too long ago? Who?
Starting point is 00:39:39 Who's the big guy on, he was killing him? Oh, um, um, oh, Lavelle Crawford. Lavelle Echroffat. Levella eat your ass up. Lebella eat your ass up, bro. I bet he will. No.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Levella tear your ass up on that. Lavella tear your ass up. He heard every joke of the world. He's coming. That's what I'm saying? You can't be him? You can't go with fat jokes for dudes who've been fat their whole life. They heard it all.
Starting point is 00:40:04 and he's nothing. They got all the comebacks. Nothing. Stop. Stop. Listen. What else we got, Taylor? What did Kevin do?
Starting point is 00:40:16 Oh, the Don Chito thing. Did you see that? When Don Chito goes, John Chito's like, I'm 56 years old. Kevin just goes, damn. But at the same time, like I said, and me, you know, I'm 56 years old. Damn.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Because it was a thought. No, no, seriously. It was a thought. It was a thought, and I blurted it out. I didn't mean it that way. I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Okay, but just understand I didn't mean it the way it came out. We'll take a poll on how you meant it with people here later after the show's over. I can sit up and honestly say, buddy, that that was from a place of love. Got it. Like, damn. Like, damn. If we could play it back right now? Play back.
Starting point is 00:40:59 These are two different dams. Play it back in slow motion. There wasn't no. I said, I said. There was no like, wow. I said, damn. No, you said the word damn. I love that.
Starting point is 00:41:08 That's honesty, man. That's like me. I can't help it. Damn. As a cancer. Kevin's a cancer. I'm a cancer. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Bro, that has been the story of my life. Damn. Because I don't mean it. You know what I'm saying? You just be talking and then you talk out loud. You know what I'm saying? Like little shit like that, somebody walk in the room, be like, oh, congratulations. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:41:34 You pregnant? You pregnant? Yeah. You're pregnant and then it's not? That's the worst. But that's why you shut the fuck up. Yeah, you didn't. Why did I even have to say that?
Starting point is 00:41:43 One time, you did a rule. I forgot what we was at. He was like, congratulations of the lady. And she was like, I'm not pregnant. I'm like, whoa. And then what do you do?
Starting point is 00:41:49 Sorry, act like you play. Act like you're playing. Act like you're a comedian. No, I'd be like, my bad. I did that shit at a comedy show once. No, man. I asked this girl.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I asked a girl, she was pregnant and she said, and then she was, she was, she fucked up. See what I'm saying? But you felt bad immediately when you said it. When I asked,
Starting point is 00:42:07 when I asked, I was like, I started asking, and in the middle of me asking, I'm thinking myself, why are you doing this to you? Why are you doing this to you? Because I'm making it a little bit. Right, because I wasn't 100%.
Starting point is 00:42:22 And then she was like, I was like, I was like, are you pregnant? And then she was like, no. I just had a big meal or something like. Whoa. And then, and that's a funnier. Bro, I had nothing, bro. I had nothing for it, dude. You said, yo, I hope you digest.
Starting point is 00:42:41 good, you know what I'm saying? Like, for real, what you can do is apologize. When you say some stupid shit like that, when you, because sometimes people wear it on their face. You know what I mean? But even if Keb didn't say, damn, he'd have been looking like like. Like, you know what mean? And then Don would have been like, what's up, what's up, man? I appreciate people like that, though. Tell me the truth. No, I don't want to know the truth all the time. But what I hate is when people judge for the shit that we're all thinking. Like what? Like if, if he goes, damn, you were thinking damn. You just didn't say it. Not like 57, that's a good age.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Meaning, like, a lot of times, like a lot of times you'll say something that everybody's feeling, they're just not saying. I hear what you saying. And then they look at you like, you're this asshole. Like, they weren't thinking to see it. That's why it's so funny. That's why I went so far.
Starting point is 00:43:23 My mom would always say, me and my dad don't know how to talk to people. And she was right. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because it's not about what you say. It's how you say it. But you know, I always say, I said,
Starting point is 00:43:31 how do you think before you talk? Easily. Because people say, think before you talk. You always think. Come on, get on the mic, Tell Naila, if you're going to talk about with you. You say what? Why do you say you don't want to know the truth all the time?
Starting point is 00:43:49 Oh, Naila asked why do I say I don't want to know the truth all the time? Because sometimes ignorance is bliss. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like sometimes- You still being scared the wrong way. That's right. And I want the truth to be told to me when I'm ready to receive it.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Because sometimes you can tell somebody the truth and if they're not ready to receive it or they think you're trying to play them. They're going to reject it anyway. You know what I mean? So sometimes, you know, you just wait a minute. Like, you got to just pump your brakes a little bit. No need to say nothing now. Yeah. Wait, wait until you, they get a divorce, then tell him that you're having sex with his wife.
Starting point is 00:44:16 What you're saying? Whoa. That's crazy. I'm just saying. That's what you're saying. No, no, I'm just saying on the phone. You know, I went to analogies. Whoa. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Whoa. And I'm not saying, I take that back. I do want to know the truth. I just want to know the truth at a time that I'm ready to receive the truth. Because that's the most important thing, right? Yeah. It's just like, it's like, it's like, we talk about jokes or lyrics or anything. When you deliver that punchline, it's about timing, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:39 You got to deliver that punchline at the right time. Yeah. You deliver that punchline at the wrong time, it ain't going to land. Yeah. I want what I'm saying to be received. You know what I mean? So it's a way to, like, get into those conversations. Sometimes you say shit, and it doesn't seem like you want it received.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Like what? I don't know. You're a wild boy. I was a wild boy. I'm not a wild boy no more. You still a wild boy, but I could just see your fucking eyes crinkle. Like, something will happen. I'll just see you go,
Starting point is 00:45:03 Like, do a face like that. Because I'm thinking before I talk. Exactly. Now you're not saying it. And then I get mad at myself. But when I think too much, it's like 10 questions come at once. And I really just want to know this one thing. And if I would have just said it, blurted it out right there, we would have got to it immediately.
Starting point is 00:45:22 You know what I mean? That's what I mean. So don't think before you talk. No, you got to think before. Sometimes you got to. Yeah, I wish I had thought. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:27 You're super wild. Like, some people aren't that wild. They don't have to do that. Me. You're a wild boy. You're a wild boy. Wild boys have to think before they talk. Wild boys have to think before they talk.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I need like a human editor to walk around with me sometimes. Yes. Because wild boys, we just pull out and, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't mean to shoot the block up. Not bad. At all. I did not mean to shoot the block. You didn't have the safety on.
Starting point is 00:45:50 And by the way, you realized nine times of ten, you really didn't have to say shit. You didn't. That's what I mean when I say, did your voice or what you're saying, bring something to the conversation? Did you elevate the conversation or something? You know what I mean? No, you didn't. it just you got it out your system sometimes just in your system you need to get it out it do hurt we used to keep it in though it does but it's fine but but what i've known what i've
Starting point is 00:46:12 come to realize if you just take a beat you'll find a way to have the conversation you want to have man i have one of these guys at this show uh when i was in houston bro he was in the front he was an electric wheelchair bro he was like he had a head he had a torso and he didn't really have that big on and didn't really have that big legs and and i got about 30 minutes without saying You couldn't avoid. You were like, this is a gift from God. The comedy gods placed this right here. They did that on purpose.
Starting point is 00:46:41 I always believed that. I had to, bro. What did you do? I said I want to dip him in some chick-fil-a sauce. Look at a nugget. A little chicken nugget. Did he laugh, though? Did he laugh?
Starting point is 00:46:56 People come to my shows to get roasted. They go up front. Like, the reason I did, to be honest, is because I was like, that guy got courage. Like most people, especially given their circumstances, would never. They would sit me in the back. He'd go for me, but in front of thousands of people, he was like, I want it. I don't think there's nothing wrong to it.
Starting point is 00:47:13 If Chelsea Handler can call, Chewy, God bless the dead, a nugget all those years, there's nothing wrong if you call it that man a chicken ticket. I didn't make one joke. No, no, there's one joke I didn't make. What was the joke you wanted to do? So I asked him his name. He said his name was Able. And I didn't.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Whoa. I didn't do it. I didn't. He said anybody. Whoa. I didn't do it. I didn't do it. But in my head, I'm up there.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I was like, is that short for disabled? Like, no. Yo, I didn't do it. I didn't do it. Say what? What about it? I don't know. That is crazy.
Starting point is 00:47:51 It's better than what you think about. I didn't do it. But I know, I know, I know. Thank God. I think God put everything at each time for a reason. Like, I just said that for a reason. Yeah. I just not said that.
Starting point is 00:48:03 It was a time I supposed to have said that. It's a time he's supposed to be there. He's supposed to die him. Man, that is such a good point. But I did get him a little bit. No, you're not supposed to tear him up. Yeah, you're supposed to tear him up. But that is such a good point that Wax said.
Starting point is 00:48:15 That's why even when we talk about like the cancel culture and people pulling up old things and trying to weaponize against whatever you're doing now. Yeah. You got to take the good with the bad. Like all of it was part of this process that you went through. Every single thing was all part of a process. So you couldn't be. that you couldn't be this now without saying that then.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Yeah. It just is what it is. But you had to plant that seed and now it's sprouted and now you got some bullshit on this tree. But that's why I think that, you know, the whole cancel culture thing is losing esteem because people realize how this is not sustainable. Yeah. Because back in the day, everybody said something wild for the day, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Everybody was a wild boy and wild girl back in the goddamn day. That was a culture though. Whether it was on the mic, on the stage, in life. You know what I mean? That's why I say, I don't want to be a hypocrite. Whether or not you heard me say it, if I hear something, I'm like, I'm not going to judge that person when I know that I was talking just like that. You know what I mean? Like, come on.
Starting point is 00:49:13 I got the shit I'm going to judge you for. And I got the shit that I could forgive you for because I know I'm guilty. I would never do that. Yeah, if I know I would never do that. And I'm a judge right. Yeah. Like what, though? What's the thing we were talking?
Starting point is 00:49:24 I ain't going to touch no kids. Yeah. I'm not going to hit an old lady. Think about all the adults that was touching on us when we was young that we haven't said anything about. I never said it. You know what? Nobody was touching on me. Oh, I definitely got molested when I was in.
Starting point is 00:49:36 You wasn't popular back to you? I really came into myself when I was like young teen. Like when I was young young, they weren't filling me. But like when I was like 12. I think you should sit down and have a conversation about the people who touched on you. Could you talk about that a lot? I do. I talked to my therapist about it.
Starting point is 00:49:51 And it's so crazy, I talked to my therapist about it. And my therapist and Bishop T.D. Jakes one time told me the same thing. It's like, you know, when you get old and you start dealing with like imposter syndrome or you don't necessarily feel worthy. They say most people who were molested feel like that. And that was especially true in my situation because when I made the woman stop, she started calling me ugly and saying I had a big,
Starting point is 00:50:13 see, why is that funny? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Why is that fucking funny? Nobody takes male trauma serious. That's the goddamn problem. You know, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I was waiting to hear that part too. You heard that story 300 times. No, because back in the day, the way I processed it, I would say, yo, the reason I made the woman stop is because I didn't like to smell of her jerry curl. No, I remember that. Yeah. But nobody takes male pattern, bald and serious.
Starting point is 00:50:44 And nobody takes male trauma series. Hold on. Don't you compare bald and molestation. She's a motherfucker. So, hold on. When she started calling you ugly, do you think she was lying then or was she was lying before? That's a good fucking question.
Starting point is 00:51:00 But you know what that did from, and I learned this in therapy. You know what that caused me to do? Be a people pleaser even to my own detriment. Oh. So even when I knew something was wrong, right? I would still go along with it as to not let the other people down. So people don't call you ugly? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:51:20 Like, you stopped because you didn't want somebody to call you ugly. Now you're trying to. Well, it just felt bad. It felt like, yo, she, okay, I stopped letting her do this. Now she called me ugly saying I got a big nose or should I just continue? you to let her do it. Hey, bro, she literally had my grandma putting fucking cream on my nose. She thought my nose was swelling up.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I'm going to the back. Nobody cares. I'm bad. I think it's just because men don't really talk about it. It's not that we do. It's not that we don't care. It's fucked up. It's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Because she was hit me on the street earlier today when I say. everybody eyes went straight and then we looked over there at me it was like, what the fuck? Wait, wait, what are you saying? Like she was hitting me earlier today and in the street. Oh, and nobody was even worried about it.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Yeah, they didn't pay no fucking tension. I mean, look at the size different. But that don't mean nothing, though. That's true, you were abusing him, bro. You were physically abusing him. He's used to that. But that's what I'm saying. No, but you're right, though.
Starting point is 00:52:26 So I'm used to a woman always hit me and stuff like always been a thing. I'm sure we all got it and it's like yeah it's double standards out here yes they are it's huge but they don't want to take theirs
Starting point is 00:52:37 we gotta take ours bro and if we're a bitch and we don't take hours oh 100% if they don't take that I ain't got to take that I'm like we both got double standards I'm supposed to be able to
Starting point is 00:52:47 you know what I'm saying yeah I'm sorry I won't do it no more Taylor's not having it wax I'm not trying to be the victim you did play the victim this morning in the conversation we've having gave me a headache.
Starting point is 00:53:02 No, I'm not, I don't play the victim. It's just that nobody really cares about the strong friend. You understand what I'm saying? Nobody really cares about when people, no real shit though. I don't call you and check it upon you? It's like, nah, look, but you'm saying? Nobody is, it's just like you're supposed to do that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:21 You know what I'm saying? Oh, Wax supposed to do that. It's always Wax supposed to do that. Like nobody actually really check on you. Yo, therapy's been working for you, bro. Yeah, they make me talk. Yeah. You're in touch with your feelings.
Starting point is 00:53:31 You start calling yourself the strong friend. Because I do so much. And it's like I got so much on my back. And everybody like, oh, hold on before you leave, throw that on there too. You know what I'm going to do? All this shit on my fucking back already. Y'all supposed to be helping with this shit anyway. And I want to get the job done.
Starting point is 00:53:49 So I'm put no, fuck y'all. You know what I'm saying? I'm put all the weight on my back. The motherfuck was like, hold on. Take this too. That's a more weight on that. Yo, I love Therapies Wax. This is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I don't know. I don't agree with the conversation, though. But even if, it's just he's in touch with feelings. He's saying the things that bother him. Before, if he'd be like, I don't know nothing. No, I still don't know nothing. I don't know why they treat me like that. But it's just like wax can do it.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Wax got it. You don't have, wax don't need help. Anybody else, there can be anything going on. It's like, okay, we ought to buy pizza. And it's like, everybody's going to put $10 or whatever then. They know wax got it. Wax said anybody wants a piece of ain't nobody putting the note
Starting point is 00:54:33 He's like He got it He's a good analogy Yeah he got it It's like I got it And he's like kind of fucked up Yeah I guess that is true Like there's less empathy for
Starting point is 00:54:44 Are y'all done making fun of victims Son no Wax is really going through it I thought nobody supports the strong I thought he was talking about his trauma No he called himself This is his drum He called himself the strong friend
Starting point is 00:54:55 And nobody cares about the strong friend Nobody cares about what he's got going on Nobody cares about the strong friend. Like, he's like, whatever people got going on. No, Wax's been talking about his struggles. It's not really struggles. It's just like, nobody care about the strong friend. All the stuff that I got going on is like people are still,
Starting point is 00:55:12 I got to have all this weight on my back and people are like, hold on, hold this too. Throw this up there too. You know what I'm saying? Is that like, hey, let me take some of that off your back. Oh, come here. Let me hold that down. Well, that's why it's important for men to be vulnerable, because if you act like nothing bothers you, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:55:26 And you act like you can handle it. And nobody going, people going to think expect you to handle it. But you can't handle it, but it's still like, it's like, Andrew. It's like Andrew can't handle it. But the people that's around him who can actually do it and be a team, it'd be so much better. I'm going to tell you something. I can't handle none of this shit by myself. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:55:42 Any of it. Any of it. I think that's the biggest, the biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we don't need a support system. You know what I mean? Like, you need a team that supports you and hold you down the whole way through. That's one of the reasons I am the way that I am now is because I want to be the adult that I need it, you know, when I was on the come-up. You know what I mean? Like, simple as that.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Like, I want to be able to provide, you know, support for people that, like, like, Naila, that are trying to figure it out. You know what I mean? Like, I think sometimes when you act like you got it all together, people just expect you to have it all together. So why help the person that seems like they don't need help? The thing is, it's like, again, people will probably think that Andrew will go ahead and do it. They're going to be attached to that and they want to be able to make things happen. They're not going to make them do it all by itself. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Right. You know what I'm saying? People see that something is actually going to benefit them. You know what I'm saying? Yo, go pitch in, do something. There's no thing that I don't think I'm about the benefit off. I'm just going to sit back and watch somebody do it. I don't go fucking what it is.
Starting point is 00:56:39 You see how you said the guy is going to be great one day because he came in here, gave his ward. He came with his food. You understand what I'm trying to say? That this type of thing. That's what I need around me. Mark, come on, Mark. You see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:56:51 Yeah, I mean, but those are, you're right. I mean, those are just the little things, you know, you know, it's like, number one, Mark got super talent, right? But sometimes hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work. And my grandma always told me manners will take you where money wants. So when I see somebody willing to do the little things like that, like I can't have Mark to bring me no water. That counts.
Starting point is 00:57:09 But just watch like, damn, thank you Mark. Can't have any ego. It's those little tiny things like that that you see. And you'd be like, that motherfucker. And we'll be able to talk about it again. Like that impact is more than somebody did something. That's right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:57:21 And he got the don't with the long head and the pretty face. Annie funny? Yeah. Pretty low. He's pretty odd. I don't know how. Yeah, look, but I just don't remember his name is Mark. You know exactly how Mark looks.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I don't, but I don't. But you didn't look at his ass? You didn't look at that thing? No, that's it. Mark. Mark, come here. See if Wax can avoid this. Just keep the camera on wax eyes.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Mark, come here. When Mark walks in. What do you mean? I remember somebody bought the water and everything, but you say Mark is Mark. But when he left, did you notice anything when he walked away? No, I was like, that guy is, I really appreciate that guy because I was really thirsty.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Big Mark. Can you just walk in front of the cameras and walk back real quick? That's not the right pants, bro. That's not the right pants. Ah, he ain't showing the shape today. Damn. Mark ain't showing the shape today.
Starting point is 00:58:09 He's a whacking. He peeking. He peeking. He peeked. Y'all get his face. Y'all got a camera. Y'all got the, he peaked. Look, yo.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Like, listen, I don't know if you have the who's wax gummies. I don't know what the hell of that. He's on drugs, man. Yo, did you look, bro? Why? You got to chill out. Well, listen, man.
Starting point is 00:58:31 We appreciate you. We appreciate your. Welcome to all, baby. Welcome on my baby. Looking fresh out of shampoo commercial. Okay. I was a temple for. Look at the bottom of his skin with the boot.
Starting point is 00:58:46 What do you have? He's still got fucking teeth. We got teeth on the bottom of his fucking boot. Who did you kick in this morning, bro? Clean your fucking boot out. before he did it. That's amazing. We appreciate you though, man.
Starting point is 00:59:05 We were saying we appreciate you, man. Just the hard work. Keep it up. That's the manly way of saying you got a fat ass, bro. I appreciate you. I appreciate you. You know the new term, right?
Starting point is 00:59:16 After you say that shit, you got to be like, no Cuomo. Y'all work together, bro. You got him with a no quomo and it doesn't count. That's funny. That's funny as hell. Let's pay some bills, y'all. Let's do it.

Starting point is 01:05:00 You can do resale on Ticketmaster. There's a lot of people trying to get tickets. So if you want to resell your tickets, you can't go for whatever reason. You can do that on Ticketmaster. Do that because so many people want to come to the show and don't beat people up on the prices, man. If you can't go, I totally understand that,
Starting point is 01:05:17 but just give these people an opportunity to go. with the ticket prices around what they were. Cover your costs, in other words. But besides that, go check it out. Milwaukee, Detroit, San Diego. We're filming a special in Austin. And then we keep going, man. It's going to be crazy.

Starting point is 01:06:17 Am I excited? I don't know. I don't know how I feel yet. I just feel, you know what I feel? I feel like this is just what it is. I know that may sound crazy to say, but, you know, when you came out on that stage this weekend, it felt amazingly normal than you didn't.
Starting point is 01:06:34 There was mixed emotions. I was, I did have butterflies. Okay. That's natural. Anything that means something to you, you should have some type of anxiety piece. Yeah. Oh, that's anxiety is butterflies?
Starting point is 01:06:45 I mean, yeah, sure. This guy's been talking about anxiety. He wrote a whole fucking book about it for the last two years and waxes just been like, I don't know what that word means. I really did it. I really thought it was like some people didn't want to argue or something. I got anxiety, just leave me alone. They do, though.
Starting point is 01:07:00 And talking to a big motherfucker like you would increase it. Yeah, yeah. Oh, cold. I bring people anxiety. You induce anxiety, yeah. You induce anxiety. So what do you mean? 100%.
Starting point is 01:07:10 I need to be a pill or something to stop it. I don't want that to happen. A paler? A pill. A strong friend. You can't say stuff like that. That's right. You can't have it both ways.
Starting point is 01:07:22 Like you can't. You can't. You can't have it both fucking ways. Go ahead and cry. You're strong and not, bro. Like, what you're talking about? But yeah, I don't know. I was just super excited for it.
Starting point is 01:07:35 And I just couldn't, I don't know, I was both. I was like, couldn't wait to be on stage. I really wanted to be on there. And I just tried to soak in the moment. That's what I tried to do. But it felt like he was supposed to be. Yeah. Yes, that's how I feel.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Why did you prepare? Do you think? Yeah, it's like, they say like it takes 15 years to be an overnight success. Mm-hmm. You know, so it's like, or 13 year, whatever long I've been doing this. But like, yeah, it just felt, it felt right. It felt, it felt, it felt good. I've always thought like that.
Starting point is 01:08:01 Like, I never felt like I didn't deserve this. I always felt like I had to, like, I convinced myself it was going to happen in my mind before it happened. Like, I've noticed that picture of like the note I wrote myself. Like, 13 years ago, I wrote a note. I wrote a note. massive venues at the best show and comedy. I kept in my wallet for 13 years. So it was like 13 years ago, I convinced myself this was going to happen.
Starting point is 01:08:20 So by the time it happens, I'm not like, I can't believe it. I can't believe it, but there's also all this gratitude, which is like, holy shit. That's when you realize God is real. And you realize the power of positive thinking is real. You know what I mean? You can really manifest things. That's why I'm so scared of my thoughts because, you know, everything that I'm doing right now is literally because of my thoughts.
Starting point is 01:08:39 You know what I'm saying? So it's like the things that you want to happen in your life, you should constantly think about the things you don't want to happen. You got to dismiss that shit. That's why meditation and all that stuff is good. You got to get them negative thoughts up out of you. And we live in this social media era where, like, people will always give their opinion of you.
Starting point is 01:08:56 But when you end up in situations like you were at this weekend selling out these shows or like the Comedy Central show coming, it's just like, yo, you realize other people's opinion of you does not have any impact on your destiny whatsoever fucking ever. You know what I mean? And he made it alive. He made it alive when you write it down. When you write something, you make it alive. Now it got to grow.
Starting point is 01:09:20 Bishop T.D. J. said that in his sermon, he did this great sermon as we can call hurdles to hurdles to holdness. Watch that. Oh, my God. Bishop T.D. Jakes was like, yo, other people's opinion, he said he really started to excel when he realized his growth was not predicated on other people's opinions about him. It don't even matter. It don't matter what other people. think of you. It matters about what you think of you and what God thinks to you. And that's it,
Starting point is 01:09:48 because everybody out here got a bunch of false narratives anyway. Like, that's it. They designed to take us down so God could get the glory. They don't even know what they're talking about. But they're designed to take us down so God could get the glory. And it don't work. That's right. That's right. It don't work. Like, God bless them. God bless anybody who got anything negative to say, any lie you want to spread, any false narratives. None of that does anything to a person that is focused on their destiny and who is ordained by God. Let's go. Y'all's just the weapons that don't prosper.
Starting point is 01:10:18 That's what it really is. You just got to make sure that you're not the weapon causing yourself not the prosper because that's the other thing. Sometimes wear that weapon. We'd be like, oh, weapons formed to give you on prosper. You're the weapon.
Starting point is 01:10:31 As long as you realize, as long as your belief system is strong and you believe in yourself and you believe in what you're doing and you believe in who you are and you believe in God, you're good. So you're saying it's like when you say don't let my weapons
Starting point is 01:10:43 against me should prosper and then your car break down it might because you was out here wild and smashing a bunch of girls and all that type of stuff No, maybe just the car's fucked up I'm just saying Like,
Starting point is 01:10:52 Maybe you need an oil God might You got a bad engine Why are you playing the God for mechanical failure? I just said, when you say that you don't know why he's going to swing
Starting point is 01:11:01 or where he's going to come from Hey God don't care God told you dumb ass to put oil in the car You did the gauge is right there You saw it in the car I would grin at his ass and he still don't get it
Starting point is 01:11:12 This guy right here, I know, Reddy Hates when we do this. For years, even on YouTube, they'd be like, they argue about the same point. That's the whole point of the podcast. That's what I'm saying. This guy right here will be on E and then wonder why he on the side of the road. And they'd be like, man, God don't like me today. Word up. No, he saved me for something.
Starting point is 01:11:28 If I had prayed earlier, thank God I didn't get at that point. Because right that point, if I had got there, something would have happened. No, if you had just stopped and put gas in the car, you'd have been fine. I get it. I get it, but God, if he wanted me to have a gas station nearby for me to get to, he would have to there. This is why Jesus ain't coming back because y'all giving him so much credit for shit that he don't got nothing to do with.
Starting point is 01:11:45 He wants to prove to y'all, I have nothing to do with that. I want Jesus to really send a sign and tell y'all I'm not coming back. So stop blaming shit on me. I have nothing to do with this. They ain't coming back. I think we're on our last legs.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Now, tell them about the What Podcasts real quick. Oh, yes. The What Podcasts? Every Monday new episode is hosted by me and Mouse Jones. Yeah. And we pretty much have like barbershop talk conversations as you would call it.

Starting point is 01:13:42 They went against each other. I thought it should have been Red Man and Mephyman versus Busting around. For sure. That would have been dope. Bustor rhymes by himself? Yes. Now, Bus guy got his hype man. What's his hype man name?
Starting point is 01:13:50 Spliff. Slut to Spliff. Slute to Spliff. But I do think we're on our last legs as a planet. Yeah, you've been saying. Yeah, yeah. I think it's, I heard something today that I kind of hear what you're saying. Okay, go.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Why? I mean, between climate change, between the eventual collapse of American democracy. It's on the way people. inevitable at this point. Wow. COVID, you know, I think COVID is just the first. Hey. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:14:20 You say it. I took a test this morning. I'm fine. I think COVID is just the first of many plaques that are going to be impacting the globe. What word does you just say? You know what the fuck I mean? I don't. Plags?
Starting point is 01:14:34 Yes. And then you got that. Plagues, bro. Plagues. Hold on. Plagues. Plags. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:14:41 The fuck is a plaid. Listen, I'm going to be like another word I don't know. Oh, plague. Hold on. And then you got the shit, the fucking permafrost pandemic. Ooh. You know what that is, right? No.
Starting point is 01:14:53 The permafrost pandemic where, like, all of the glaciers and shit are melting. So all these diseases that's been under the ice for all these tens of thousands of years. That's what I'm talking about. So I used to watch those moving. They seen the people in all spaced out suit, like the breathing suit. That's what you think we had it to? Yeah. No, we passed that.
Starting point is 01:15:10 in the hazmat suits now, baby. You think so? We're in a hazmatis now. And climate change, y'all, it was 112 degrees in Sicily two days ago. It's southern down there, bro. This, Africa, basically. A hundred and twelve. Summer, dog.
Starting point is 01:15:23 160? What's your one? I used to play in Arizona when I was training. It was 111 degrees in Arizona. No way. No. Point. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:32 What are you talking about Arizona? I was in 111? Yes. And I was practicing that shit. Well, climate change has been going on for a long time. Yeah. God damn. Damn.
Starting point is 01:15:40 That's why we got electric cars right now. That's why everybody needs to get electric car. You ever seen the, huh? Because the smoke is what's messing the earth up, right? There's a lot of things messing the earth up. Cow farts. Exactly. No way.

Starting point is 01:16:01 I'm messing up. You ever seen the last episode of dinosaurs? You remember that show dinosaurs, bro? The cartoon? It was a, it was a claymation that used to come on TGIF. That is the saddest last episode of a TV show ever. Wait, why? For adults, too.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Why would happen? Because you forget the whole premise of the show was it was like a family sitcom based on this family of dinosaurs. Okay. We forget how the dinosaurs went, exactly. Dinosaurs went extinct. So what happened at the last episode? The Ice Age.
Starting point is 01:16:32 And the little baby is sitting there with the family. And the dad's like, oh, it's okay. Everything's going to be fine. And the baby's like, Are we gonna be okay, mommy and daddy? They're like carpet up. Yes. But I'd rather freeze than burn, though.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Well, guess what? We about to burn, baby burn, goddamn. I believe if it's gonna be so hot, that means it's gonna be so cold. They said in 10 years, it's gonna be so unbearable that you're not even gonna be able to go outside during the day in the summertime.
Starting point is 01:17:01 They said, that's how hot is, that's how hot it's gonna be. Unless we reverse course on this climate change shit. You know, that shit is the saddest series for now. ever. So what we got to do? Recycle? Like, what is that?
Starting point is 01:17:17 How are you going to help this shit? I don't know. I'm not the climate change expert, but I think recycling may help. I don't know. I don't know. I'll never recycle. You never seen dinosaurs, bro.
Starting point is 01:17:28 I remember that little baby dinosaurs. Yeah, I'm the baby. That shit is so sad. They're all parked it up. They got all laid clothes on and shit. I used to like that shirt he had on. I had one. And it ends with the baby.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Are we going to be okay, Mommy and Dad? And they're like, yeah, we're going to be fine. I honestly didn't know they were dinosaurs. That is sad as fuck. The Ice Age took them out, bro. I think we headed to that shit. I was like, damn, it's over. But, hey, man.
Starting point is 01:17:53 It's not sad. Imagine life if they were still around. That'd be so stressful. You thought you're anxiety now. Guess what? You know, you got running. If they were around me, bigger buildings, things would be so much faster.
Starting point is 01:18:02 You think they're going to work for us? In a million years, it's going to be a new species saying that shit about humans. Especially when they're going on the internet. Like, I'm so glad these motherfuckersers. ain't around. You know what I'm saying? That's right. What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:18:14 This generation, this was intelligence? This tries to call intelligence back in the day. These motherfuckers, they went to space. They probably listened to this show. Meanwhile, they're going to have fucking Virgin Atlantic going to different planets. And we was hyped about people going to space. They're going to look at us so fucking primitive in the future, bro.

Starting point is 01:21:46 These from Reddit? Are these from, they from Reddit? Okay, okay. Oh, give them the, Nala, give them the mic. Okay. I'll do some fun. Let's do it. Let's knock out three of these asking idiots.
Starting point is 01:22:03 All right, so we got a from Reddit, God to your throwaway. True or false, demanding praise diminishes the accomplishment. Demanding praise diminishes. is the accomplishment. Interesting. It depends. I think that when you have a history of accomplishments,
Starting point is 01:22:22 and I take, for example, soldier boy, soldier boy started getting his credit. No, not when he was young, when he came on breakfast club and told you, I'm fucking big soldier. Look at all the things that I've fucking done. I'm the first to do this. I'm the first to do that.
Starting point is 01:22:39 And people took a step back and was like, he's right. You know what I'm saying? So I think in that aspect, yeah, demanding, you know, your praise kind of worked for him. But in other aspects, you know, I think that when you're doing it in real time, you know, you got to let the crowd. You got to let the crowd give you. Yeah, yeah. It's so much better.
Starting point is 01:22:57 Even when he did it is like for him at the do, it came from a frustrating place. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. You don't want that. You want to be able to get it when it's doing. And now it's unfortunately almost like a joke, you know. Yeah. People are satirizing him with that.
Starting point is 01:23:11 Yeah. Yeah. The thing about respect, I told us I was literally having this conversation with Act this weekend, sleut to academics. I was like, yo, the thing about respect is that the people that respect you are going to respect you. The people that don't, they're not. No matter what you do, they're never going to give it up for you. They're going to try to find a way to hate.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Every single time. And the more you grow, the more you evolve, the bigger you get, all of that good stuff, they're going to find even more reasons to say you ain't shit. You know what I mean? I'm able to afford to cut grass and see the snake. Word up. Whether it's the dude in your hometown, be like, ah, I went to school with him,
Starting point is 01:23:46 his daddy was on drugs. Who gives the fuck? You know what I mean? I ain't used to get no girl in school. Who gives this shit? You know what I mean? Oh, there's some wild shit. Like, they always try to do to us or me.
Starting point is 01:23:55 Like, oh, remember he said this on the air and it's not like, who cares, bro? Like, you're going to continue to grow. You're going to continue to evolve. And the people that respect it are going to salute it. The people that don't, they're going to always have something negative to say. So it is what it is. You're never going to get respect from everybody.
Starting point is 01:24:10 Yeah. It's just not happening. Period. You want to balance, though. What else we got? All right, so we got Chocolate Chef 16. How do the fellas feel about the white celebrities? There's recently admitting they don't bathe
Starting point is 01:24:25 or they don't wash their legs and arms because the water just gets down to it. Take it away, Shultz. Need your people. I was looking into this. How do you feel about these niggers not washing? How you feel? I mean, it's not surprising.
Starting point is 01:24:42 like, but white people, we joke around about that a lot. And I'm realizing that's something black people don't really joke around. I don't think they're joking. No, no, like, what I'm saying is we'll just be comical about the fact that we haven't showered in a day or two. They'd be like, man, I need a shower. I haven't showered two days. But I think, like, in black culture, that is preposterous.
Starting point is 01:25:01 No, no, no. No, I mean, I don't, like, you're nasty. If it 365 days a year, I wash 365 days a year, I wash three hundred and four. I think $350. I mean, that's a good number. I'll probably watch 180. Whoa. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:22 No. See? This is a thing. I didn't think. This is the thing. I take two showers a day. No, that's crazy. I take one in the morning.
Starting point is 01:25:33 So you may take 600 fucking showers a year? Good. Look at you caring about the environment. What? God damn water. He did almost 700 showers a year. Huh? I guess.
Starting point is 01:25:42 More than 700. I take one in the morning and I take one before I go to bed. I can't believe you all feel this way about washing, bro. No, it's not that. I probably shower, if I'm honest. I probably shower like five days a week. I probably sham.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Six. Are you white? Six for me. Why are you bragging about this? Wash your ass. It's normal. It's normal. You're nasty.
Starting point is 01:26:05 I mean. I'm nasty. I always shower if I work out. I'm nasty. So that's, you know. You're nasty? Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, wow. Been that time he was in Rhode Beach?
Starting point is 01:26:14 Kissing this guy. You want to do this? I got a couple last shot. This guy was nasty as hell. No. It's his fault. He was a 100 degree climate change, heat in South Carolina. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:24 He riding around on the bike all day. Smash about two or three chicks, right? Come back to, oh, I'm tired. I'm tired. Like, let's go. I'm tired. He's like, I didn't want to go. He's like, no, no, no, let's go.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's go. Let's go. We get to the club. I'm like, motherfucker fucking. He didn't wash all day. He told everybody in the fucking club that I didn't watch. He didn't watch all day.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Slept for three girls. He didn't watch all day. Smell them. My life for years. He got me too. That is disgusting. I ain't going to tell the bike man. Come on.
Starting point is 01:26:58 That is gross as shit. Fuck you worried about. Man, we get there. Yo, Waxeat Shown. He fucked three girls. Baby, this is a long time ago. This was definitely long. This was like 17, 18 years ago.
Starting point is 01:27:12 It was a long time. Yes. But yeah, here's my thing about the night washing. Why are they volunteering this information? So that's the thing. Why is this a conversation? I think this is like right wing audiences love to hear people shit on Hollywood celebrities.
Starting point is 01:27:28 So I think what it is is conservative media trying to create a new thing to shit on Hollywood about. And they're making it look like it's a trend. But if you listen to the conversations that these people are having, they're kind of saying it together like jokingly, like, yeah, sometimes I won't shower, like, oh, I just let the water wash my feet. That's what they're not. Why? How was this coming up in
Starting point is 01:27:49 conversation? What are they talking about? We don't have like that. We will say, like, do you wash your feet? They'll be like, man, I'll just let the soap suds get down there. Like, that is a common conversation amongst white people. And sometimes we say it for that reaction. Yeah. From other white people, because we know some white people are, man, that's fucking disgusting. And then some would be like,
Starting point is 01:28:04 man, I can't do that shit too. Now, yuck. I mean, that's our superpower, our immune system. You realize it, right? It's like, we've just been able to. Yes. Yeah, outside running in a fucking cold. Yes. In New York City, with the fuck.
Starting point is 01:28:17 I'm in front of the building, and I see a white person with no shirt on. And I'm like this, bumming the fuck up. But now we know why. That dirt keeping them warm. That dirt from not washing is a layer. That's keeping them from freezing to death. That's a North face. That's a North face.
Starting point is 01:28:33 I always say, like, listen, a lot of rich people who they sit around the house, they don't have so much things to do. So they just sit around, like, what are you really going to do? Some days is Friday or Saturday I ain't got nothing to do. I ain't doing that all day. I might fall asleep on the couch and might not take a shower. That's it. Disgusted.
Starting point is 01:28:49 What do you think these rich people are doing? You think they're running around picking up boxes and shit like that? They're not doing nothing. They're chilling. Maybe the girl because it's like moistly and stuff like that. Other than that, yeah, the girl should probably because there's interior. That's what I'm saying is like things that's moving around for no reason. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:03 White people, wash your body. Okay? Wash your ass. Let's get one more. All right. Last one. We got Fair Cause 74. If you had one phone call in jail and you had to call someone on the brilliant idiots team,
Starting point is 01:29:17 who would you call? Who would you not call and why? Y'all already know who's getting you out of jail. I already got one guy out of jail. I already got one guy at jail. You know who you're calling. Don't lie. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:29:32 It's to us. Yeah, yeah. So who would you call? Who would you not call in law? I'm not calling Charlotte. He don't pick up his phone. I can say without a shadow of a doubt there's not one. an idiotist member in my emergency context.
Starting point is 01:29:43 I'm not calling nobody in this room. It all depends on now. If you know you, they got you and you got locked up for a couple of days, call me. I might know a couple of people on there, might hold you down, get you some shit. You know what I'm saying? If I know I'm getting locked up and there might be a possibility
Starting point is 01:29:59 I could get out, I'm calling Shultz. You use your white privilege. Exactly. Go highlight these people. I got you. And if I need them to be Charlemagne to tell them something to get their mind off of what the fuck I did tell them about some shit in Myrtle Beach with them going to get me in trouble when I get home. I'm going to call Cheryl.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Oh, that's good. I'm not calling nobody. You're just going to stomach it? You're going to take it? I'm calling my wife. I mean, that wasn't us. I know that. I'm just telling you.
Starting point is 01:30:26 I'm not even hypothetically having that conversation because I hope I'm never in that situation with the only person I got to call is waxed shouts or Taylor? I'd be fire. I'll send your ass to voicemail so quickly. I'll be like this. I'll be like, hello? You'd be like, Shultz, you're in jail.
Starting point is 01:30:42 You read Andrew Shultz. If you have a message, you just leave it in the tone. Teller can barely find asking an idiot's questions. How's you're going to find us a bono? That's a good-ass point. Shit. Come on, guy. I'm telling you, I might know somebody in there that holds you down.
Starting point is 01:30:52 At least if you're you're in there for 30 days, I mean, for a couple of days or whatever, for whatever. You know what I'm saying? Hey, man. It's possible. Hey, man, we did it. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 01:31:06 But if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant idiotic podcast. Thank you for listening. Oh, Jesus.
