Let's start the show. Big Wax is here. Doodoo Herm. Yeah. Trap Lactus. And my good sister, Kendra G. is here. Hello, fellas. Hi, Kendra G.

That's not good, Andrew. We might not end good. Why? Why are we not into that? Have you ever met? We never met. I never met you in person. Because I saw your teaser video.

Oh, you liked it? No, I did. By the way, which one? He has a lot of teaser video. By the way, Andrew doesn't tease. There's not something as an Andrew Tee. You know exactly what the fucking Andrew is doing. There's no tease.

Okay, I don't like the word tease for Andrew videos. It's just jokes, guys. It is just jokes. It is just jokes. It is just jokes. Don't get the ass-lamped as we have learned this past weekend. Oh, we're coming in. Hot!

We just know how you doing? How was everybody weak? Okay. How was everybody's week, though? Oh, man, who cares? All right. You know why? Because it was overshadow.

Yes. Your whole week? I forgot what happened. My week was not overshadowed. Wait, what happened? What happened? What happened? He said the week was overshadowed.

Yeah, by a smack book. No, man. If Will Smith, you know, putting hands on Chris Rock overshadowed your week, you need a life. What about your week? They overshadow his own Emmy. That's his last year. Oscar. Oscar, that's him.

Yeah. I got a life. I got my braces removed this week. What are you talking about? And it was. It was. The weekend I had. You've had braces?

I got braces on Thursday. I've been a four-day bid. Oh, and then he said, fuck that. Do you see a L. He saw me Tuesday. Like, those braces ain't do shit. I got them on Thursday and I got them off yesterday. You know, there is.

To everybody out there who's ever had braces, everybody who's got braces, I ain't built for it. I have braces, but I had them as a child and I still have my retainer permanently at the back of both of my top, like the top teeth in the bottom seat

so the teeth won't shift. Key word is a child. When you have them show? Thank you. Perfect. When you have them. I got the, Invisaline.

I'm getting that next week. Just do that. No, we got enough money to buy teeth. Just buy the teeth by everybody else. That's true. But I got good teeth. My dentist wants me to keep my teeth. I don't know if they think they are.

My dentist said I got good teeth. I just got a couple crooked ones in the back that just need to be realigned before I get the veneers. Okay. smiles so they can see. I've always, I got a good smile. You got a good smile. You do everything. I think you shouldn't really do anything.

You've been very successful with the smile thus far. Why change it? I mean, because I feel like you can always be better. You know what I mean? And when you're going to the dentist and the dentist is clean teeth the dentist's like, you know, if you adjusted this here

and adjusted this there, you could do this. And by way, I'm going to be 44 this year. It's all about having the back teeth. The older you get, you got to have your back teeth. So I want my back teeth.

You can buy them if you lose. I'm struggling to keep my parents teeth, man. That shit is crazy, bro. They losing it? They're dropping like flies. That's what I'm saying, man. Flies. That's breaking my heart, man.

But they can get visitors. I do. I do. I keep buying them. My dad keeps breaking them. motherfuckers. I don't know. It's just crazy. How old are they? My dad, 77, I think. 78. I want my teeth.

I'm 79. You got to buy teeth probably at that age. I'm going to get it. Bying teeth is great. Yeah. I'm just preserving them for as long as I can. Okay, that's fair. I will tell you this, I've been to the county jail. Long as I've been in the county jail was 45 days. I'm not saying braces feel like the county jail.

When you get braces taken off, it does feel like when you get released. Why was it so bad? Why was it so bad? Yeah, like, what was so painful about it? Man, that shit was like, Number one, a bracket broke in the back. So it was like this wire scratching the back of my mouth. And every time I would chew, I would chew on the wire.

And then like the braces were cutting all of this, all of this. And they're just like, I would eat and then gargle. And it would just be like chunks of food. I'm like, I don't got time for this. I'm not doing this for six months. You have a screen. Oh, yeah, it was six months. I had braces for two years.

I had the six months smile. Oh, my God. I'm not doing it for six months. They got time for that shit. Yo, my dentist said when I saw you on the schedule for yesterday, She's like, I knew what you was here for. She's like, I knew what she was coming back for. She's like, I knew exactly what you was coming back for.

She said you want them off. Do you say braces is not an adult thing? You shouldn't do it as an adult. No, braces is a young person sport. That's a young person's sport. I do things ridiculous when, like, grown adults get braces. Yeah, come on. Who you're doing this for?

That'll be like 60-year-old ladies getting braces for what? Well, she got to get a man probably if she's single. You got to put your best. You think men that age care about teeth? Well, what do they care about at 60? If it would get wet. Heartbeat. Heartbeat.

You and Jay, I don't even think it's wet. Like, just, are you there? Is you going to be alive? Militra! Just pause. She's still alive. Do you not have COVID? That's all I need.

Every time she doesn't know she'll have a heart in time. No, and have mercy. And then you can hear your teeth moving when you sleep. Yeah, yeah. Like, I woke up to the sound of like my teeth moving in an excruciating pain. I'm like, oh, yes. But I think it's like if you don't have teeth and when you get older, your mouth just moves by itself.

You ever see the older people without dentures, their mouth just moved by I do that now. That's why she told me to get braces. Oh, wow. I was doing that now. People always been noticing that for years. They're like, I think Charlotte do coke. Oh, because you kind of like a job.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I do that shit all the time. Yeah. And she told me I would have job problems in the future. I'm getting Invisal line next week on the seven. Okay. On the seven. Oh, you good.

Invisaline's fun. Gotta get something in your mouth. So in case somebody ever tries you at an award show and they smack you, your shit don't fly out. That's true. You know what I mean? I know people now who will be talking. and they have like the veneers or dentures or whatever,

and they'd be flying out sometimes. No. Like the one, two will fly out for real. Oh, yeah, that happened to my aunt. But you know, I had somebody, I punched somebody in the mouth with braces. You caught somebody in the mouth? That shocked you.

I had braces, and I still got the mark right here from the braces. Oh, what a jerk they are. I never want to punch somebody in the mouth of braces. Why did you punch somebody in the mouth? It's young to go. Because you got anger problems. I was young and dumb. I don't do that no more.

What was the reason? Do you remember? I didn't tell you. Oh, God. That's messed up. Everybody should have a reason. as to why they hit people. Yeah, yeah, let's talk about it.

What is the justifiable reason? Is it a joke justifiable? Is it punching him off? Yeah. He probably cracked on me because like that day. A joke from a comedian at a war show? Let's talk about it. Go.

I want to hit a take. Yes. Go shows. It was heartbreaking to watch. It was tragic. No, all jokes aside. I mean that it was tragic. I mean that it was.

These are my idols. Yeah. I got reasons why it's tragic, but go ahead. Yeah, like both of them. Like, Will, my idol. It's been heartbreaking to see what he's been going through the last few years because I literally grew up watching Fresh Prince. I thought he was the coolest person on the planet.

And I'm sure, like, part of my identity was for him just watching this guy. I'd be like, oh, man, he's like, cool. He's funny. Girls like him. He's charismatic. Like, I still thought he was the man. Like, I thought, I thought Will Smith was so dope growing up that I thought he was the star of Independence. He wasn't?

I watched it recently. He's in like 20% of the movie. He's one of the people in the movie. I didn't know that. I mean, neither. I've never seen independent. I watched that shit like, this is only him. And the aliens.

Isn't that with the aliens? Yeah, when the aliens come down. And I think it's like a, what is it called, a group cast or something. Right, okay. But one of those things. But to me, he was just the man.

And then Chris Rock is like, you know, at least 50% of reason I do comedy now. Like, I mean, like I saw him growing up and I was just, before I even wanted to do comedy, it was like,

oh, wow, people can think like this. You could have like the devil's advocate point of view, but like really good rationale. And like, I think he's probably the greatest comedic mind alive. Like, you know, maybe Dave is better.

performing but comedic mind No, Chris is a better stand-up than Dave. No, I disagree with that, though. We can get lost in that one, but like, but in terms of just comedic mind, like, I think he is like a fucking savant gifted genius. And I saw Will do something that was

so insecure. Like, wow. Insecure? I'm not like you talk, but I got to I'll write this down. Let me just say insecure though. She's writing it down. I'm keeping notes. I can remember. I saw, I saw I saw Will do something that was so wildly insecure because he initially laughed at the joke and then saw his his wife not laughing and i'm a comic i go to comedy

shows and i perform i do jokes all the time i've seen these dudes i've seen the dudes out in the first date and they stop laughing so they can get pussy right they're laughing with a day with the girl they ha ha ha that that that's shouldn't ain't funny the fuck is this guy talking about just that's just he's got no pussy exactly the guy that's his wife but that's his wife bro like you should know what time it is also she's out here all day talking about oh i'm i'm proud of my baldhead i don't get a fuck what nobody thinks about my baldhead. She's on record saying it shows it to the world. Real quick, let me jump in as a black woman.

Yeah. Here is very sensitive to black women in general. And Jada Pinkett has to own that she has alopecia. She's decided, yes, she could wear a wig if she wanted to, but I think she decided to walk into her truth. But that comes with a lot of ridicule. So you can't say what she's proud of. She's just womaning up for the moment of I'm a stand in my truth.

But I'm quite sure it's very difficult for her to right now deal with the fact that she's losing her hair. Like fat people. So I can't say she's proud of it. And I think... Why is G.I.J. this. Like...

But because, because again, it's like, I think overall... Our boy Mark said that Demi... Demi, whatever fucking name is, Demi Moore should be the most offended. Demi Moore... Demi Moore look good, bald. Demi Moore is not part of this conversation right now.

She's G. G. Jain! Who cares of shit about that? That's the joke. No, the joke is this. The joke is you're joking somebody's wife. And what happened is Chris Rock did it at the Oscars. When the Oscars were so white. and Jada Pekin started that

Chris Rock came for her as a black comedian that decided to still do it and I have no judgment that get your check but why you got to but if the woman is standing up for black people why would you mock her at the White Oscars Awards so I believe that smack was from then to now and to everybody that's thinking this is cool

to talk about Will Smith wife in front of him anybody wife yeah you can't do that and I understand that you're a comedian so I get that and you can say whatever joke you want to say but also deal with the consequences And the consequences, you might get back. You might escape those consequences. You might get back.

You might get back. Like, you can't assault people. And by the way, but Will got to deal with his consequences too. But you're not going to make consequences. Like, how privileged. Like, what a fucking white woman, Will Smith is. I feel what a fucking white woman he is. But the slap was all white woman.

But both of them are fucking Karen's. I feel uncomfortable. The whole award show must stop for me. I will slap you. No, it didn't stop. Bad man. It didn't stop. But the worst.

My comfort is more important than Questlove receiving his documentary award, a black man receiving his award. My comfort and my wife's comfort is more important than everybody else. You're white women. Both of you. First of all, but first of all, Will Smith has sat there plenty of times. Like you even said in the beginning, he chuckled at it because that's what he does, right? Good.

He's Wilson. He also says that that's what he does when he's uncomfortable. He said that in his book. Okay, but in his speech, he even alluded to it. Like, yo, I'm exhausted. You always have to smile and accept disrespect because you're famous. So don't come. So don't, why do you come?

How about you don't come? I'm getting to Oscar. I thought Oscar's so white. Why are you back? No, that's a good point, though. Why you back? Oh, now that you get an award, now we all show up. But Andrew, Andrew, say, have you out of time.

Right. Listen, I'm not going to rebuttal that. I'm not going to rebuttal. Every Oscar's so white until you get the award and they're like, oh, it's pretty diverse now. All right. But say if you had a cookout and somebody talking jokes to your wife, you're not going to go after the guy. It depends. Who's making jokes about how long?

Exactly. And that's a problem. It's a problem. He weighs 140 pounds. If I'm doing it, baby, like, huh? It works. If wax, if your job is to roast me and my wife at a public event, which is what this is. No, that's the job.

This is the job of the comedian is to roast the people that are sitting in the front where the cameras can see them. It's not to roast the people. You know when you get that seat that you, that you are going to be roasted. That's part of the event. It's just like when the president shows up to the whatever dinner, he knows that he's going to get roasted at that dinner. This is part of the job.

And you know what else you get? You get the whole world going, oh my God, you're the best actor ever, and here you go to this award. But part of the job is you get roasted. And every one of them know that. And if they don't want to get roasted, stay your ass home.

Or send the back, right? Real quick, going back to why I come to the Oscars because he deserves to be there, he deserves the reward. So, yeah, she enlightened the fact that you guys are looking over black talent for what reason were just as talented. So yeah, I'm going to bring my eyes to the Oscars because I deserve to be here.

So I got to dispute that part. But secondly, why does everybody have to know if Jada Piquet killed herself, then we'll say, you know what, we were right. We should have made that joke. It's like people, you have to understand, people have feelings, and you can't go so far. Will has taken a year.

Like, this has been a year of people talking about him and his wife and he's tired. That's what that came down to. Will Smith usually keeps it together. So the fact that he lost it is a sign that, yo, people have breaking forms. Or a lot of it was online and now he actually get to see somebody sit

in his face to his wife. Now that's why I think he took action. I think the problem with us as people is that we judge people's totality of their whole lives based off these bits and pieces of what we get. Like even right now we're trying to piece together

what would make Will Smith snap. I can tell you right now that joke was one percent of why Will Smith went up there and smacked Chris Rock. That joke was 1% of why he did that. Like, if you've ever read Will Smith's book, if you've ever watched Will Smith's YouTube videos, I think it was called Breaking Point.

Will Smith has talked to y'all so many times about feeling like a coward his whole life. Feeling like a punk his whole life. It stems from his childhood when his dad used to beat on his mom and he said he never intervened. and he's had to live with that forever. Now, think about the pressure of being Will Smith since you've been the Fresh Prince. Will has told you all, my life has been a lie. I've had to show up and be perfect all the time,

and I've got to constantly just eat this shit, no matter what somebody says about me, no matter what somebody does to me, I always got to take the high road, take the high road, take the high road, take the high road. I think what we should learn from this situation to what Kendra just said, and Schultz isn't wrong either. If you see somebody like Will Smith at 53 years old, and they have a meltdown like that at the Oscars on the biggest night of their career

on such a huge-ass stage, if he's breaking down and going through it mentally, what the fuck does that say for the rest of them? How is that breaking down mentally by protecting your people's? That's breaking down mentally. Can I make one more clarifying statement? This is one more clarifying statement. And you know who said it was a breakdown?

Will said it was a breakdown. Hey, bro. You can see that. That's a projection. Here's one thing. We're assuming, we're assuming, this is another thing

that we're doing that I think is very unfair to Chris Rock. Mm-hmm. We're assuming that Chris Rock was aware of Jada's medical condition.

I can tell you 100% he was not aware because he told me he wasn't aware. Exactly. So now, so now this is Jada who's worn short hair before in her career.

It is not. It's not short hair. It's a difference. Short and boss? No, it's a bald head. She has no hair. No, no, no. She has a little bit.

She has a little bit. You can look and see. I looked at it. I looked at it. You should look and see. I look at it. Bring it up. Bring it up. But my point is, he has no clue that that's what, he has no clue that that is a medical condition and not a choice. He's assuming it's a choice because that's what we would all do. She's a fashionable woman and she looks beautiful with it. Like, let's not act like she looks bad. It looks so good that it could be a choice. So he's going up there and going, wow, you chose to shave your head down and you still look stunning. You have your eyebrows and stuff. We know it's not cancer or anything. You look beautiful, but you're doing a choice. shaved head. Who else look beautiful with a shave head? Demi Moore. Let me connect those two things.

G.I. Jane. That is not a bad joke. If somebody made that joke about my wife, I would laugh and everything would be okay. But guess what, though? It's something else we don't know, we don't know how much she's at home crying about losing her hair. That's fair. You know what I mean? I'm her husband. Like, yeah. Also, too, why doesn't, why doesn't Chris Rock know that? You're hosting the Oscars? Y'all don't got a research team. No, no. Not for that. I think that's kind of way. I think, I think that was a playing joke. It wasn't a playing joke. It wasn't a I heard they gave it to him. No, no, they say he never did that.

No, it didn't. They said he never did that joke in the rehearsal. I heard the writing staff gave the joke. By the way, that was a very dated joke. I would never have given Chris Rock that joke to say. That was a very dangerous. Who's getting fired? I think at the end of the day, Jada's just exhausted.

They're just exhausted. Like, we've been beating them up for like a year. Like with blogs, with, you know, the, what was it, entanglements? It's just, and people say it. By the way, all of that stuff, I probably, that's not. even, that could be part of it, but I'm telling you, people be having issues that we know nothing about. People be dealing with stresses that we know nothing about. All that stuff we see on the internet, they probably don't give two fucks about that shit. Here's some real shit.

You're probably saying her, correct. I mean, that's what I'm, and it's not even that. It's that on top of just dealing with the stress of being will for. You know how stressful that day probably was for Will? Oh, unbelievably. Is this the finally the time? Am I actually going get it. You got 50 people trying to get in the Oscars trying to get in with you. You got family members pulling you this way. Family members pulling you that way. He just stretched the fuck out.

And probably people just clowning. They were making jokes prior. I mean, this is a tame joke. This is a tame joke for Chris. I mean, Chris told the president's wife that she should be the first one on her knees sucking his dick. And nobody had a problem with that.

Nobody was like, yo, that's disrespectful. Everybody's like, that's hilarious. Hillary Clinton. But if the president spacked him in his face, who could say something? Chris's joke. Yeah, like, I guess that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's right. I'm giving you the right that as a, because I'm saying you're a comedian.

So it's what you do and you guys. And I do have respect for comedians and I hate that freedom of speech has changed so much that you do got to watch what you say at different times. But I say, say whatever you want to say, but just got to deal with the consequences of what you say. Can I say one thing about that? I agree with you guys. Like, I never tell someone how they should react to a joke if they're, if they're, offended, if they're upset, if they're angry, if they're dealing with a personal issue of medical condition.

I can't tell you how to act. But there are laws that are in place. And that's where I think the Oscars failed. But Will got enough money for that lawsuit. That's true. But I think this is where the Oscars failed Chris and made Chris look like an absolute clown is Will came up and slapped him. And then he got to stay there for the rest of the Oscars.

If you do that in a basketball game, you get kicked the fuck out. You do that a football game. You get kicked the fuck out. You do that in any other establishment. You do that at TGI Fridays. there's not a single business on this planet where you can walk up to someone put hands on them outside of a boxing match

and keep it real. If you slap somebody outside of the ring, you get kicked the fuck out. What you saw was a level of celebrity privilege. No, what you saw is them only caring about themselves. They knew he was winning that award. Celebrity privilege. So it's like, because I'm Will Smith.

They know Will Smith bought the win best actor, right? Boom. You got this moment. You could tell they know they had a moment. The Williams did too. The cameras was going back before. The camera angle was a boom. Chris, Will, Chris.

Will, Lapeed in the back. You know what I mean? Lepreda. So now they know the internet about to go crazy. So it's like, you don't tell Will to leave now. No way. Now people want it to tune in to see, well, shit. You know the best thing that's happened?

I need to see what Will's going to say. This is the best thing that's ever happened to the Oscars, to be honest. I mean, actually the Oscars won that night. Yes, 100%. Yeah, like, no one talks about the Oscars before. Yeah, like, no one talks about that. Like, you know, I watch it because I work in media. Yeah.

But I will say this was, they had the most, like, Meg the Stallion performing of the Oscars. It was like that to me. My six-year-old hated that, by the way. She's what, Beyonce, I mean, Beyonce even got over. My six-year-old. She thinks Meg ruined that Encanto record. Salutey-a-Meg, you know what I mean? But I'm just telling you what the six-year-old streets are saying.

The Six-Yeo Street. The Six-Yeo Street was trying to figure out what was going on. She was like, that's not En-Conto. Right. By the way, I've been watching Encanto for a month straight. Fire? I don't know. What is it?

It's a Pixar movie. It's like the kids love it. My kids love watching the rest of it. random incontal videos. Oh, it's too much. Shout to Jessica Daryl. I did a movie with Jessica. She plays Louisa in that.

All right. Okay. But I will agree with you. Like, that did show the privilege of, but I think it was more so about the Oscars winning. And I also think Chris Rock isn't, I mean, I don't know. You said you talked to him.

I don't know whatever you can share. But I'm assuming that he's like, he doesn't want to press charges. He didn't want to, like, get him kicked out. I don't think Chris Rock was on some. He has to leave. No, Chris understands.

And Chris understands what comes to Territory. Chris has been a comedian for a long time. Chris has had to deal with Hecklers. He's had to deal with people running up on stage. So it's just weird that it's one of the biggest stages in the world, if not the biggest in entertainment. And it's the biggest, one of the biggest stars ever that ended up doing that to you. You know what I mean? But he understands what come with the territory. I'll tell you something that Rock shared.

He just was like, hey, even Putin gave a warning. He's the best. Did we have to go? And I agree. Like, did it have to go from that to that? But I think once again, we're looking at the joke. And we're thinking it's the joke that said Willow. No.

No, man. And also the fact that Chris Rock has made jokes about Jada before. I think if that was the first thing Chris Rock ever said, we would have a whole different outcome. It's not the first thing that he said. And not the first thing he said about her at the Oscars. Yeah, I think that's part of it. I mean, you know, five years ago when Chris hosted the Oscars, it was during the whole Oscars, so white controversy.

And, you know, Jay to Pica started it. I don't know, Jayda. She did start it because Will wasn't going to be nominated. It was Will wasn't going to be nominated for a movie. Now, that is true. And there was some other people she felt was snubbed. And she was just saying, and she made a video about the academy. And that's really how it began.

And that's why. And she asked Chris not the host. Right. And Chris decided to still host, which I get your bag. I'm never going to tell you how to do your money or whatever your platform is. But in his monologue, which I was disappointed in, whether you agree what Jada was doing or not, she was fighting for black people and you are a black man. So this night you're the host of it

And you're mocking the black woman That was trying to shine light To the black people not being a part of this He's just being a comedian No, but okay, you can be a comedian But I'm sorry Andrew You also got to be a black man too Because guess what

When you're on this stage Before you got there was the black people That's a question Well let me fix my same in first So now that you are a comedian But now when you're in these rooms We supported you before then You have a I think you have a duty

To stand for your people in those moments you could have did the monologue without playing Jada Peking when she was fighting for your people. And I think that's one question though. Yes. Do you get upset when black basketball players dunk on other black basketball players? How was that even related in this conversation? They're both black. How are you going to disrespect him by dunking on putting your nuts all over his face?

Andrew, are you serious right now? This is the same shit. Why not? How dare you? We supported you. The analogy makes no sense. You know what I'm saying? The black guys looking up the other black guy.

I supported you. I'm down for your car. It's competition. That's the job. He's a comedian. The job of the comedians to make the jokes. I get what you're saying. He let his nuts hang.

You're saying a basketball player, dunk's on a basketball player because that's his job. That is not the same. And you're saying a comedian's job is to go out there and do that. And dunk on people. That's it. But here's the thing. No, no.

One thing. One thing, one thing, one thing. We've seen dunks. We're a dude dunked on him. The guy didn't like that shit. So he threw a punch. Definitely. He threw the basketball.

He tried to, fight the person. Yeah. Now, whether he overreacted or not, that's not on us to say, but we've seen it go both ways. I can't choose how people react. That's right. Again, I'm not saying that, but there are laws and you're not allowed to break the law

usually, and usually this is why I was upset at the Oscars that they made Chris look like a clown. And then Chris also did some goofy shit, too, in my opinion. But like, and again, this is my idol. I thought Chris handled it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fetian. As a comic, and this is my idol, but as a comic. comic when Will said, keep my wife's name out your mouth, and Chris goes, I will.

Amazing. No. I agree with that. You can slap me. I will. You can slap me. You can do whatever you want. I won't fight you, but you're never going to tell me who I can and can't make fun of.

That's it. And I'm not, and I'm, and if you don't kick them out, I will. I'm not reading that fucking teleprone. No. I'm not going to go back to work. Now he won. I'm not, no, no. I win because I'm respecting myself.

If you're not going to kick him out after he came up and you're like, you're not going to keep me secure. And then I got to keep staying up here and handing out fucking awards like a clown. No, no, no, no. By the way, no. See me backstage. I'm not going to fuck up the whole show, but see me backstage. You don't see how good he's, I think he won by fake doing.

We did. Can people laugh. Well, right, real quick, Andrew, and I say this respectfully so, you're missing the, the black component in this. And it's something you're not going to. Which is often true. Which is often true. This is not disrespect, but there's a, there's a part to this that you're not

going to be able to relate to. What is the part? The part is the fact that Chris Rock, I feel as though he understood that, okay, I'm in this moment. I have this man, Will Smith, and I have joked his wife before, right? I think he got it as a black man, like, okay. He went to the far. Like, oh, okay.

You know, and I feel like that's why I said I went back to the Oscars so white. Chris Rock was out of pocket when he played Jada because she was fighting for black people. So at some point in time, you do, you could be a comedian, but there is a black situation that we got going on in our community that has to be honored at times. There's another black component to that too. The black component is Chris has been in the game for a long time, right?

So Chris understood the magnitude of the moment. He understood where he was at. He understood what just happened and he understood that Quest Love was up for the award that he was presenting. Chris didn't want to mess up that moment. The Quest Love, he didn't want to mess up the moment at the Oscars.

Like, I guarantee you when Chris speaks, you're going to hear Chris say, how would I look fighting, me and, me and Will fighting on the goddamn stage. You're not going to fight. And now, Andrew, so your comedian. I can, again, I just want to say, I agree with you. That's an experience I can never understand. Right. I can only speak on it from a comedian's experience, which is probably something a lot of people don't relate to either, which is, like, protecting what we do.

And understanding that that is the job description. And now, and what you're saying is he's got to balance both of those. Like, I'm relating to him as a comic, but you're relating to him as a black person. And you're going, you got to consider other black people. And I'm out here going as a comedian, do your thing, bro. It don't matter. You wanted to hear jokes. Right.

You wanted to hear him keep poking the bear. Because Andrew is Leonardo the Caprio in that goddamn movie with a bear. Fucked him. He fucked the bear. He's a bear. He didn't fuck the bear. No, the bear got him, Charlemagne. The bear fucked Leo.

No, he wasn't really fucking him. He was trying to, like, mountain. Mountain? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dry hump. He's trying to fuck him.

He's warming up to meat, bro. I thought you wanted to have a meal. You know what I'm saying? I thought you wanted to ask him to the bare fucking. I think maybe. I think we could look at it like that. Oh, okay. This is Hollywood.

Normalizing East Seattle. I'll say this. Now, this is what you will be happy about. You know, Chris Rock sells have sword. They're saying that his next show sold out faster than it's sold in a month. So like this is going to win. Again, we're talking, first of all, everybody's winning because we're talking about them. Even Will Smith, he apologized.

Who will have to do a tour and talk about it. Chris Rock, everyone's going to want to. hear from him. So as a comic, he has comedy gold. Like, his tour was sell out. That's a good point. By the way, and I said this on Breakfast Club this morning, but it's the truth, man. You got number one salute Chris Rock,

but who's checking on Chris? Because everybody's talking about the childhood trauma that Will had, that he clearly projected on the Chris, right? But Chris's show, everybody hates Chris was literally about his child and how he used to get bullied all the time. So think about that, right? You're the guy who either

made people laugh too hard or was laughing too hard. And so then somebody put hands on you because they couldn't touch the person they really wanted to touch. So how do you think Chris feels in that moment? He was humiliated on national television in front of millions of people. Like, listen, like I always say you can't tell somebody how to react, but I still don't think Chris deserved it. No, Chris is not deserved. No, how about this? How about this? Hey, I'm going to see you backstage. Word of. Because Chris, Will wasn't doing it for Chris. Will was doing it for the public. That's why he was doing it for his life. I think he was insecure. I don't know.

He was doing for the wife. So then take the white backstage and slap them in front of your wife. No, because the joke wasn't backstage. The joke was in front of all the air to the white. It wasn't going to find out. It wasn't even one of those jokes where the crowd was like, oh. Nobody would have even paid that joke no attention if we wouldn't react like that. Her face.

These are the people that matter most. Willow, Jaden, Will his son, Will Jr., and Jada Pika Smith. Fuck everybody else. But you know what I say to Jada? And I was like, once again, you can't tell somebody right, but I tell, Jada. I'm going to handle that motherfucker later. That's it. No, but...

Don't be a white woman. You're a white woman. Fuck you as my husband because... No, I don't believe that. No, no, that's cool. That's cool, too. No, I don't hear you. I don't believe in front of everybody.

Either way, it's cool with me. I hear what you saying, Kendra. And I definitely have what I say. I am Karen. That's the new movie that will come out. I am Karen. I stop everything when I'm inconvenienced. He should have handled it backstage like a joke.

The second the ward is delivered, and then you don't take Questlove's moment, which is selfish as fuck. So then you just go backstage with your wife and everybody's like, He stepped on his own moment. Yeah, I think. He ruined it. Nobody's talking about the fact he won best actor at the ice.

Nobody's crazy. Nobody even knows. And looking all goofy singing, get jiggied with it with anxiety all over his fucking face. But real quick, I don't think we should. I mean, first of all, it's, anybody's singing getting jigggy with his club.

Salutes of Questlove, but I don't think it's fair to say except on his moment because he wasn't thinking about Questlove. He wasn't thinking. Exactly. He wasn't thinking. He wasn't thinking. He blacked out.

So he's a show. Why do we have to call it blacked up? No. You know what I'm saying? He whited out. There's a whole show about the name. He wanted to be white out. He definitely didn't white out.

He definitely white woman's shit. That was a white woman's shit. I've never seen that before in my life. Welcome to my world, baby. Are you saying white all because you're saying the white privilege of him, smacking him? That was a level of privilege. The actor smack was a white woman smack.

That's what white woman would do. But it was because it was done. to a black man. But it was by another black man, doesn't. And that's normal for whatever reason, sadly. And it shouldn't be. Yeah, that sucks. You know what I mean? We have dissected this in so many different ways.

But we're all, but we're all focused on the wrong thing, man. I'm telling you. This shit has nothing to do with that joke. Maybe a small part of it might probably set them off. But it's a bigger issue, man. That was Will projecting his childhood insecurities on to Chris Rock. He literally has said this a million times.

he felt like a coward because he did not protect his mom from his dad. And he's been having to deal with this shit for the past couple of fucking years. And this is something else everybody keeps saying. Everybody's like, why he didn't do this to such and such. And why he didn't do this to such and such and they didn't say it. They didn't say it. How you know it's not safe that they're talking about. But how y'all know Will Witness fads on anybody that said that?

All this shit has been happening over the internet. Exactly. And also all this shit has been happening on podcasts, the radio shows. How about this? The flip side of everything. Everyone is saying that, oh, Will was supposed to have his night. Why are you playing me on my night? Why are you mentioning my wife on a night supposed to be about me? No, by the way, that's not about him.

Come on, that's a great point. If you win there. No. He's one of the people that it's nominated. But they're selling it as Will Smith's night. So I can't even get respect on my night where my wife is off limit. I got to let y'all know, like, this is too fucking much. The respect is being acknowledged with the joke.

That's how we acknowledge. If people who aren't famous or aren't, nominated, don't get acknowledged in the jokes. Nobody's going, a miss in seat R13 on the balcony, your hair looks stupid. Martin used to kill people. You know what? But you know why that's a great point? It's a great point because if I'm Will, and it depends

how you felt, right? If I'm Will, I'm like, look, man, we saw what happened with that entanglement shit on the red carpet. Don't ask me nothing about my relationship. You know what I mean? I don't want to hear nobody joking about my shit tonight. This is my night I want to enjoy. Yeah, why not? Why are we not talking about the entanglement? Who? Because Will was being... The entanglement. I don't think you get about that.

No, I think Will was being. Listen, no, real quick. Real quick. Real quick, Will Smith was being Will Smith that we all know them, which is the guy that just takes it and keeps it going, you know, has the unbother factor. He's like Musa. Like, I always say, I don't know how Will Smith is always.

He knew he couldn't get away with it. If you go to Will Smith's Instagram page, he is always happy. He knew he couldn't get away with it. No, I think he just had a breaking point. I really don't think he's going to slap a trans woman on the red carpet. Jada could have. Is Will Smith going to slap? Jada could have.

Maybe. No. Maybe. Tata could have as woman to woman. That's woman to woman. That's woman to woman. That's trying to do her dirty. That's woman to woman. Shit.

We don't know who he could slap and how he could slap. By the way, anything, anytime a woman says something that's disrespectful, and like you said earlier, you said, what you say to me earlier, he said that when you're with a man and you shouldn't be arguing with another man. And I feel the same way with a woman. If a woman says something disrespectful when I'm with my woman, that's right. That's right.

That's right. We're supposed to shut up. I agree with that. I agree with that. But the man says something disrespectful to my wife. It's like, why would you put us through this? Who? The guy.

Like, what are you doing right now? If a man, say that again? Like, if a guy is talking to my wife, like, why are you even talking to my wife? I feel the same way. So why are you mad? That's what Will Smith is. I'm talking about in life. I'm talking about we're in traffic.

Dude, that's what I'm saying. I'm right here. That was traffic. That was traffic. He out of the house. He out of the house. If he said that shit on the streets, do your thing, Will. But if it's part of a performance, jokes that you'd

know you're going to be a part of. You know you're there. You know the jokes are coming to you because they've coming to you for years. I'll tell you what a wise man told me. We're tired, bro. I'm not feel bad for some billionaire that's tired. We got to feel bad for people with hundreds of millions of dollars. You've said. You got to feel bad for you. That's right. But first of all, he worked for that $100 million. He wasn't born into it. So we had to struggle and get it. So I think it's unfair. We're still human. It's unfair to not say that. People are snapping. And I'll tell you what the wise man told me yesterday. Reality has jumped the shark. Ooh, reality has jumped a shark.

Not no TV show, not no movie. You can't sit there and tell me when you was watching that shit. I still can't believe we saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, that ain't real. I thought it wasn't real, too. We had a simulation, bro. But people actually laughed.

You ain't heard when he smacked the people was laughing. Yeah, they thought it was a skit. Yes, everybody laughed. You know what made me know it was real? They froze the broadcast. Yeah. And then the audio was gone. But you could see Will going, and I'm like,

oh, yeah, you got to watch the Japanese version. Yeah, yeah. That's the next one I was. They're saying what happened. What are you doing? Nothing. I'm sorry. Ignore him the way Wilson and ignore him.

Talk to him after the fucking show. The Japanese version is just the sound. Exactly. But no reason. Like, who's the world? Who the fucking got it? You wouldn't be able to see it. They're like, come here.

Oh my gosh. The Japanese shit was just the audio. I was literally just the audio. I love that it happened at the Oscars. Because Vasker's supposed to be so prestigious and so elegant and, like, the top of all the award shows. And I feel like sometimes we got to get wake up. This is a fantasy world we're living in right now. But real life is happening.

That's right. So I'm going to bring y'all fantasy people down to real life. And I'm happy it happened there to wake all the people who live in a fantasy world. The curtain has been removed. DeVail has fallen from everything from Hollywood to politics. These are just regular people dealing with regular shit who go home. and cry just like the motherfucking rest of us. And it should never be a shock to you

when you hear these celebrities committing suicide. It should never be a shock to you when you see these celebrities checking in the rehab. They're fucking human. And I know it looks like, okay, you know what? You got all of this fame. You got all of this money. You should be able to deal with regular everyday pressures of life.

No, those pressures are multiplied times 100. And the reason, I'm going to tell you why they multiply times 100. Your life isn't under a microscope. It's so easy to deal with the bullshit that you're going through when you only got to deal with it on your own. When you got a motherfucker and open up your social media

and everybody got a fucking opinion about what it is you've got to do with. Well, well, now, well now, no, now, you decide to monetize your family and monetize your life. And this is where you've got to give it up to the Kardashians. Not everybody can handle that smoke.

Right. Kitt Kardashians, whether you like it or not are built for that shit. I like them, though. We really don't know. The Smiths, they might not be. We don't know if the Kardashians are built for tonight. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, that's true. Let me tell you where they are. because they keep renewing their contract. The one that's not built for it. Now, Rob is not built for it. Now, Rob is not built for it. That's why Rob the brother does not participate. Rob ain't built for much or nothing.

But I don't body shame like I used to, so I'm a mind my brother. Like I used it. They actually built tough. Stop it. Go. And even saying that, you just did. I love it. But the girls.

That's a feeler he put out for Rob. You're lucky. Catch me at the office. Go ahead. But the girls are built for it. They keep renewing their contract. They're literally like Kim Kardashian's a billionaire now. They would have been stopped the show if they really felt away about it.

Rob Kardashian is the only one. No, a lot of people put their life through things for money. Yeah. That means you bill for it then. You got enough money to retire now. The reason I say time will tell, because we'll have been it a lifetime. You know what I'm saying? Will been for a whole lifetime, 53 years old.

We've never... Will has literally been... And I want to say to LeBron James of Hollywood, but that would make no sense because he's much older than LeBron James. But there's only a couple of people black or white that you can name that have never had no situations.

They've never had any off-the-court out of, like discrepancies. You never heard about Will doing some fuck shit ever. This is the first time... We've never seen... The last time I saw Will this angry was when his daddy left on goddamn front print. and he was crying

Uncle Phil. This motherfucker ain't even angry like this in action movie. Literally. The world is in the world is in

that angry. You've never seen this. Oh my God. I know he wasn't angry and I am legend. He was sad. He calmly took the grenade and ran into this shit.

Holy, you know that's a mannequin. You don't remember that one? I don't remember. Oh, yeah. He ain't slapped the mannequin, though. Like, wow. But to the point you're making,

but this point you're making, like Will Smith has had arguably, I mean, you could say one of the greatest careers in entertainment history. The guy has been famous and successful since he's what, like 18 years old. He's 50, so that's 32 years of unrivaled success. Yes. And I think this is something that's probably difficult for him. And no controversy.

And no controversy. And this is something that's probably difficult for him. And Jim Carrey went through it too. I think on some level he recognizes it slipping away. He's probably not getting... Slipping away, how? He just won an Oscar. No, no.

Just hearing not a good comparison. He's like going to the next level. He won an Oscar right now. Yo, you know, show... He just had a break-in-way. He's sitting next to Denzel. Listen, I love how you broke it down. He's been famous since 18.

And this is the first thing that's happened. The movies ain't doing the numbers they used to do. No, that's not true. No, it is true. He passed that already. He's the thing. What showed you're saying was true about... But money he has.

Six, seven years ago. No, I'm not talking about money. He had a string of movies five that flopped. Will became Will again when he got back on social media and you started to see the veil drop a little bit. He started to be more real. I think the rap radar interview, we don't get that rap radar interview enough credit either

when BDod and goddamn Elliot went down to Tibet or some shit like that and interviewed Will Smith. And Will spoke in that interview about how he was trying to shed that character of Will Smith. He was like, yo, I couldn't even fucking curse. He was like, can you imagine having to live life not even being able to curse? And if you read his book, man, his book is phenomenal. I'm not just saying that because it's Will Smith. His book is really great.

He talks about how his whole life he had to play a role. And in Hollywood, he made a decision. I want to be the best actor in the world. And it was like, if you want to be the number one actor in the world, you got to do X, Y, and Z. He's been in character. Even that, even that perfect person we saw was a character. I don't feel bad for that, be success is not a prison. You don't feel bad for it because you've never been that.

That's like saying, yo, we don't feel bad for Michael Jackson for being a child stuff. I've chosen not to pursue that because it doesn't make me happy. He's chosen to pursue it. He wanted to play by the rules of the system because he wants success within the system. But you know as well as I make me happy. That's not fair to say. You know as well as I do. You know as well as I do.

He's saying he can't curse me because they said don't curb. But you're saying you choose not to be as famous as him. I chose not to pursue a career in that path where I would have to worry about what I say, where I have to worry about what jokes I do. I purposely move myself from the industry because I know I want it to be myself and I know I want to create independently. I didn't want to create with any shackles on me.

I cared so much about my art. He cared so much about being the most famous actor and with that is a cost. You have to pay that call. You learn that and you learn that by watching other people. You're true and I came in the game later. That's what I'm saying. Will was early.

That's true. That's true. And he not only was he early as a Hollywood star a black Hollywood. I was getting right said it. I didn't want to bring it back up. That don't happen

for black people. No, that's true. I hate to make this always about a black thing, but you got to bring the black component in it. It is an incredibly important component and race plays a part

in every single discussion that we have. Right. So it's like to remove it is to not be honest about what we're talking about. Yeah. The unbelievable pressure to be a young black kid,

Will Smith. Yeah. To forego college at MIT. Like, start there. He's a genius, number one. So to be a genius to get into the finest institution on the planet. What is it?

MIT. This is where the fucking geniuses of geniuses go. I believe that he got into MIT. I don't know. I'm not sure. He had a crazy IQ though. But he's very intelligent. Even that alone, like being the black person that says no to the MIT to pursue a rap career,

it's like your parents got big. Where did I go wrong here? That sounds like a teenager though. Right. But that's why I think. Will's journey is so great, and I call him the Willy Lama, and I still call him the Willy Lama, even after what I saw Sunday. Absolutely is. Because healing hurts. And if being whole was so easy, if healing was so easy, we would all be whole, but we're not. Guess what we are? Human. You know what I mean?

And humans make mistakes. And guess what? Will probably thought he wanted that. And that's one thing he says in his book that's so profound. He says, I spent my whole life, I spent my whole life thinking this is what I needed the game to be whole. Now I realize I got to spend the rest of my life giving it a way to be whole. So imagine thinking that you wanted something. Getting it and realizing this ain't it. And now you feel like you're really in a prison

because to your point, Schultz, don't nobody want to hear that shit, Mr. Billionaire, Mr. Hollywood star. You don't get a ring, right? Word up. Nobody want to hear that shit. But there is certain things that you have to respectfully remove

from the public eye, because it is disrespectful of them to share those type of problems. For example, right? If you go, you would never share, ugh, I don't want to stay at that hotel.

It's only four stars. You would never share that publicly, right? Because you could be scrutinized. So keep that same energy when it comes to your problems. Don't nobody want to hear about your fucking people. But nobody did. No,

your will win away. The whole thing. August Aalzano's, you got to read his book. Your, Will went away. There was times where Will would get on plane. Will would get on planes and just coach, right? Not coach, but like, you know,

a commercial plane and just go places. And the airport would be going crazy. I'm like, oh, that's Will Smith. Will Smith. He'd be staying in like random places and random countries, not hotels and everything because he was just trying to figure a life out. He did that on his own. All those ayahuasca journeys and everything.

He did that on his own. Yeah, it seems like he's trying to find himself. And I mean that sincerely. And even that action right there is, am I this person? Am I this person who defends the honor of my wife? Okay, maybe that is who you are. Maybe it isn't. Now you're apologizing.

But it does seem like he's having not a midlife crisis, but more of a crisis of identity. I don't even know. You can't run from your problems. But two things, real quick. I want to talk about the sympathy for the celebrities, how you said, we don't want to hear about your problems. I am nowhere near like a Will Smith or anybody type of famous, but I work so hard. And if somebody says something to me in my comments, I'm going to cut your ass out because

nothing's given to me. Can I say one thing real quick? Yes. None of us have to say we're nowhere near Will famous, Will Smith type of thing. Yeah, yeah. No, but, we know. Like, none of us. I just say that.

I say that because on my small scale, people feel like they can say whatever they want to say to me because they're like, oh, you're on the radio or you're on television, so you can't. And then when I snap back, they say, you're a public figure. Why did you respond? Bitch, because you got me fucked up. That's why I respond. And I want you to know that, listen, you say something wild to me.

I'll say something wild back to you. when I feel like Will Smith, that's why, but this is why I always love. I never saw that comment. What is I? That is so fucked up. What is he?

Alex got the Will Smith apologizing to the Academy and his fellow nominee. Look a soldier boy. Nah, don't cry now, Will. You got to stand on that. See, motherfuckers don't care. And that's the bad part.

That's the bad part. That's the point. Motherfuckers don't care. I guess I get it. I guess I get it. This is don't care. This is Jaden. Jaden goes,

and that's how we do it, right? and then the first comment below Jesus Christ Everybody said This is how August didn't Oh my God Damn with a crazy picture That's wild

That is But that's the other thing too And leave the internet You know what I hope This is what I hope one day I hope that everybody gets to take their mask off completely You can't ever Because we don't know these people

So it's like so many things That we think we know about individuals It's things that we think they care about It's things that we last at that they was already fully aware of, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's just, it's just weird to me.

And when we talk about people's relationships, you don't know what people's relationships that is. People don't be having traditional relationships. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. So it's just like the stuff we make fun of, it's just like, yo, they haven't been there, done that. It's just like, we're just getting a taste of it in the public now.

That's true, but they are, I think there is a difference when people have a private life. Like, there are celebrities that we don't hear about their relationships. And that's a choice. Right. There are people that are happily married or unhappily married, and we don't know because that's not true. Carrie Washington is great at it. Like, she's great at not talking about her husband exposing her children. That's it.

She definitely, like, she's the blueprint for that. So I always think if we know about your family, you want us to know about your family. Your PR company is trying to do things and you are monetizing your family. And if that's the case, if you're putting your family in the fire for monetary gain, that's your choice. It's your family. Y'all can do whatever you want. Go that. But don't be surprised when the Internet doesn't.

does what the internet does. Like, you keep your wife, you keep your wife private. I keep my wife private. I don't monetize my relationship with my wife. I keep my husband so private. I don't know where he is. I'm going to say,

could you happen. I can't even find that nigga. He's so private. And here's the thing. This is, this is our, you could argue, to our detriment when it comes to fame. People love relationships.

People are obsessed with relationships. There are whole TV shows about people getting into relationships called the bathroom. We know that if we monetize our, relationships we could be further on, but we choose to protect our loved ones and not expose them to the hate and vitriol of the internet. But sometimes there's breaches of security when these hosts start talking.

You know what I'm saying? When these hosts are talking? That had a breach of security. You breached security when you was with the host so she could start talking. But what if all of y'all know y'all know y'all got hos? You know what if everybody knows we got hos? What if I got hos? What if I got hos?

I'm just saying, there's a lot of non-traditional. relationships out here nowadays. So what if I got holes and my wife got holes and then one of my holes might talk, one of your holes might talk? Cut that out. I'm just saying. It's up down there breaches insecurity. They got enough money. Ain't your wife got host.

That is not happening. Oh, Andrew, that's 2022, baby. That Polynesian sauce is everywhere. Maybe America great again. When wives didn't have hosts, whatever year that was, let's go back to that. When wives didn't have hosts or hopes or dreams, anything with H.

Oh my God No hoes, no hope Oh my God That's a great 23-4 No hose, no hose, no hoax Soldier boy, go wrong with it I'm not voting for y'all That's fucked up

But for real, man, fuck all that I'm just saying, man, I just think it's a lot I just think it's a lot of psychological mental, emotional stuff that everybody's going through And I really do wish the best for everybody in this situation Because to your point, Andrew,

somebody asked me earlier somebody said, is this bigger than Jay-Z and Solange in the elevator? Eddie, our producer asked us that. Why are you even gritting your teeth like that, Taylor? It's bigger. It's not even close. Are you crazy?

I mean, it's bigger. It's way bigger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not even close. We're talking about, first of all, let's talk about this setting. In an elevator versus the Oscar. Let's talk about the setting. Number one, we're talking about grainy camera footage versus 4K HD angles, everything else.

Now, now, let's talk about the players. Jay-Z, love Jay-Z. But Chris Rock and Will Smith have been white famous way longer than Jay-Z. You're talking about literally two household names for over 20 plus years. I think Jay-Z is on the same level of stardom as them. I think now. He's on the same level. Maybe.

Maybe. And listen, not Will. By the way, not Will. Will's one of the famous people on the planet. Exactly. Not Will. And I love Hove. That's,

Hobb is one of my idols. I call myself a Pinkett Smith Winfrey and Olds Carter. But Hove will tell you that. Like, no. Yeah. So it's Will. And Chris, yo, this is Chris Rock. This is Chris Rock.

This is Chris Rock who Saturday Night Live. HBO specials. HBO talk show. Mount Rushmore of comedians. Mount Rushmore of comedians. He's been white famous for a long Global famous. Globally.

Anywhere in the world. You say what? Oh, that's right. We know what they said. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. And then I think also, too, I think the thing with the elevator was,

we always wondered about Jayzee, Beyonce, because they were perceived this perfect relationship, like no drama, Jayzee, they're happy, and then we see Salange whipping her ass, which I knew he had to do something because Beyonce wasn't holding Salon's back. Well, listen to what you said.

Well, listen to what you say. it was the J-Z Beyonce dynamic. Right. Not so much the salons of it all. The fact that Salonge was B's sister made everybody speculate. This was Will Smith. Right. The biggest, one of the biggest stars in Hollywood ever.

Walking up to Chris Rock, who I think is, for me, the best stand-up comedian I've ever seen personally in my generation. And slapping him. At the Oscars. At the Oscars. Come on, yo. That's crazy. What are we talking about?

Like, don't even, what do you mean? The only thing close would be if there was a performer at the Super Bowl and then, like, fucking Joe Montana walked up to the stage and slap, like, Joe Montana slaps Michael Jackson. Joe Montana is not famous. That's true. That's true. That's just America. That's right. That's just America.

And I'm so happy it was, again, the Oscars and not the BES He Awards because it needed to happen in front of people of all of America to witness, like, listen, y'all got, y'all got me fucked up. And Will Smith broke. I know he apologized, but I was here for it. You too. Because he was tired. Somebody should have gotten. It was his next person. I hate you, but the next person who, I never could joke.

You know what I'm saying? So I always beat people up for that type of shit. We joke around all the time. No. I can't joke for shit. That's because we're family. You joke on me and I can't get, I'm not, I'm going to fuck you up. I see him.

I see. I love this. I'm going to be who's going to poke the baby. I'm going to poke this bed and I'm going to let this band mouch you.

Charlamagne has started Charterman start this the long and people be over to blowing the glass that laugh what's a sinister

laugh. And I fuck them up too. I got plenty of wedgies and look and make you my favorite one is the cold

soul and Myrtle Beach. That was my favorite one. We're telling it again. Because it just took a while because it really took a while for people to like poke the band.

Like, what happened? He had this big ass it's a great joke to look. The joke is excellent. It was like right here. He had a big cold sore on his lip.

He had a big-ass cold saw on his lip. So all week he smoked, the weekend he's smoking blunts. He passed him, nobody wanted to take it, right? They're like, nah, and I'm good. People I know smoke weed. I'm like, it's because he got a cold sore, right? Because he got a cold sore. Nobody like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Mom of I'm making up shit. Like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, one of our guys, he's a motherfucker. He's a lunatic. He can be a lunatic. I said, okay, he's the one that's going to jump out of the window. He ain't even drinking a little bit. You know what I'm saying?

As you drink it, I know it's got to have. I'm like, we get on the elevator, and he came with a fire joke. It was good. He was like, yo, your fucking coach saw needs a wife beater. He needs a wife beat. He said, your coach said, your coach are doing pushups. Your coach got a guy on your coach got a bit on. All the girls on the elevator laughed.

It was when the girls laughed. But I told him before we got on the elevator, I said, listen, we joke together. We got a bunch of girls born in the fucking elevator. Shut the fuck up. Before you told him that. He did. He did. They're funny.

Everybody's funny. We all, I'm just not the funny. I punch people. So give me. So he said this. What is your reaction? I don't know. So I told him, so, we're on the elevator.

I remember Charlotte there. He here. I'm here. And all the girls is over here. And he said that fucking joke. I'm like, I see wife with his gloves on. Oh. I did.

I did. I'm not. And I just. He got action. Boom. He had a bitch. He had a drink. Listen, this is the air bar.

He had to drink in his hand. The water flew out of the cup and landed back in the cup. I'm not even lying. It was like a cartoon. No, it was liquor. It was perfect. The liquor flow in the air and landed back in the cup. He just was standing there like,

because the guy didn't want to cry or nothing in front of the girl. He can't breathe. So he's just like, boom. And then he wouldn't let the guy ride in the car with us. This is before Uber. No. Nah, this still was fucked up. It had other car.

It's like three or four car. with the girls you made fucking laugh. Yeah. Listen, I stand by it. Let me tell you why. Because he was trying

to look cool in front of the girls off of your pain. So you really have to get overreaction. You want to look cool off of my pain? Well, how about you feel pain for real? That's what Will did. You see what I'm saying?

And that's close back to comedians. At times, comics. And again, I respect the art. But essentially what you're doing is you're making light of somebody's pain

to get your own satisfaction. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yes. That's true. So that's true. So that's true. So that's true.

So that is selfish. So if I decide that I'm mad at your selfishness, I can react however I want it. Yeah, he definitely wanted the girls that like him. As long as it works within the law. If you break the law, you go to jail. But that's not him. I don't get you. I got enough money to take care of that.

But by the way, but I'm just saying it seems like you're giving an okay for people to do acts of violence. And I don't think you're saying that. What I'm saying is, like, if someone doesn't like what the president's doing, they're not allowed to attack the president. But also, here's the thing, even if you don't have money, if a person chooses to violate you, they don't give a fuck. Like, if you say something about them that makes them want to put hands on you, they just want to put hands on you.

But we're not saying that that's allowed or is okay. No. That behavior is reprehensible. Hey, man, I just thought. That's a joke trying to protect yourself. I'm trying to protect y'all. I don't want you guys out here going, hey, you should be able to punch someone for jokes. And then you've had situations.

No, I'm not saying. You have a situation. You have situations where people attacked you over jokes, and nothing I can do about it. Yes, there is. You got a wax. Again, but that's what you got to do. You hire your security or you fucking, you know, you get your gun.

You do whatever you do. But this is why I would say, though, I think it's unfair to poke somebody so much and say, well, literally you can't hit me. Can't do that. Like, you know, don't. Like, you know, that just don't get hit because you might get hit. You might get hit, man. And you might catch these jokes.

You might catch more now that I know you're sensitive. Nah, people want to say that's. What's what you get there. Like, you kept fucking fucking with him. Listen, I'm no fucking tough guy. I've never been a tough guy out here. I'm not trying to say, but I love this comedy shit. And I love jokes.

Everybody ain't going to play with you. You know what you need to do? Get you somebody to hold you down while you on that stage. The motherfuckers is crazy now. I just saw somebody pull out a gun at a Mike Tyson show. Oh, yeah. You didn't see that shit? Oh, I didn't see that video.

That shit was cold. That's stuff you need to see. The dude pulled the gun on. Well, no, they said the dude tried to fight Mike. Right? Yeah. He wants to fight Mike. Mike's in a fight.

and then he pulled out a gun. On somebody else. Luckily they hugged it out, but that could have ended bad. That shit could have ended bad. Like, it's like, yo, we've seen enough situations

where comedians have gotten attacked on the day. I saw somebody, I think Donnell, Donnell put out the top ten list of comedians you don't run up on when they're on the stage. You know what I'm saying? I think he was like number five

because it's some situation that happened back in the day, but it's the truth. Like, you, people are sensitive. And I know it's easy to say, like, oh, man, you shouldn't have came to this comedy show if you're sensitive.

Well, no, you can go. You can leave. Nobody's upset about that. Just don't sit in the front. Or just you can go, you can leave. You're allowed to be upset. No, any comic that says, oh, you're not allowed to be upset. Shut the fuck up.

That's bullshit. Everybody's allowed to react the way that they want to react. But you have to understand that this is comedy and there are going to be feelings hurt. And we don't know what's going on in every single person's life that's in that crowd. We're just trying to make jokes, trying to make light of things. We don't know you've got a fucking disease. We thought you just looking good with a bald head. How long will you have been in here?

15 years or something like that? I mean guys jumped on you. I got punched in the face one. on stage. Really? I told you guys this. Oh, yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah, yeah.

So you understand it. You don't like it, but you understand it. Yeah. And by the way, nobody should like it. You don't want to get attacked. No, it's black. And then the whole, you stuck there and let the guy punch you like Chris did?

No, I was doing the show in a play in a bar, Cafe Moka shouts to Smokey Swarres. I love Smoky. Smokey who put me up all the time. And it is, it was, we call it a hood room or the Chitlin circuit or whatever the fuck they call. Basically, there's like a black comedy scene as well. But it's in New York.

Chitlings? What's what the fuck? They called it that. I don't fucking know. But it's in New York. So I grew up in New York. I don't give a fuck who's there. Let's just work on some jokes.

I wasn't funny yet. And I was just making fun of his Puerto Rican dude. And then he walked up to me, but there's no stage. So I didn't know if he was going to the bathroom. Like, people just walk by. You in a bar. So he just stands right in front of me. I'm like, what's up, man?

And then he goes, you tell me what's up. And he just swings on me, right? But the dudes went and grabbed him. And the dudes grabbed me and they separated me from him before I could not do anything to him. I mean, I'm in Harlem. I'm going to start fucking up this Puerto Rican guy. He got cussed. Get the fuck out of here, right?

But luckily they separated us and then gave me back to Mike and then I kept doing my thing. But I kept doing my thing. I didn't know. And I clowned his ass after they threw his ass out. Granted, he wasn't there. But you keep on doing the jokes. And I went back the next week and I did the jokes again.

That was the best part about the whole thing. He's better. Oh, yeah, yeah. He's definitely going to talk about it. If Chris don't got a strong 20, 25 added to his egos, death, and by the way, it's a perfect, ego death is perfect. Yeah, he put it out there in the world.

It's perfect. Ego deaf is a perfect title to talk about that situation. That's name is, um, this is your? Yeah, it's a, I don't know if him and Kev's show got a name because him and Kev going out this summer and then. Which is dope. Yeah, Chris is going to go in Christmas going out. But I mean, listen.

And then Will probably going to end up doing something together. They're going, absolutely. Like, yeah. This is the first time we've seen somebody have, no, not somebody. Somebody like Will have a meltdown like this. And we got to give him. I've seen it before. We've seen...

I'm surprised he hasn't broke earlier, to be honest. Exactly. When he started saying he was throwing up after coming or some shit, what was that? Well, I don't know about that.

After having sex, he was throwing up. It was a reason for that, though. I remember that book. Oh, my God. It might have been that. No, it wasn't. No, no, it's because he was in love

and he wanted to be with the woman, but they broke up. And so when he was trying to ego, feeding his ego, out of his sleeping with a whole bunch of different women, he knew he didn't care about them. and he knew these relationships with meaningless,

and he said it would make him physically sick. Yikes. Listen, he's a very self-aware individual, man. I like that, and I'm going to tell you all something else. The more you tear your mask off, the more you start ripping that mask off, sometimes skin going to come off with that motherfucker. And what you saw Sunday, you saw skin come off.

You know what I mean? Like, he took a lot of skin off on Sunday, so I just hope this continues to give him the courage to really just keep showing up as itself. I don't want you to get him out, though, to keep saying mental health. They're like, I think that's just him reacting off somebody doing something to his wife.

mental health, wax? What are you talking about? So if I'm protecting my family as mental health? He had a breakdown. It wasn't just over the protection of the family. He said, protecting his family, though, by standing up for his wife. He said in his apology. He said in his apology.

No, man. No, no. Taylor really wants to say something. Come here, Taylor. Go on that microphone, Taylor. Unlike these people, I would never silence a black queen. Okay. No, Kendra, don't hurt me for this one.

It's true. But based off of what happened, what was it, last year with entanglements and all the other stuff, right? Mm-hmm. I love Jada. Your braids aren't tangled. Your braids look beautiful. Are you supposed to see? Don't we just talking about protecting black women?

What's up with you? You know, what's up with you? You got to stop using that hashtag out of context. What's up with you? It is. We were talking about hair and everything else. Anyway. I mean, technically speaking, they're twists, right?

Are they tangled? And they are in terms, right? I mean, that is part of the style. If he had to hit you, you really know that you could do. Then I can do. Yeah. Then I can do. Yeah.

Are charlemagne's hair entangled at all or nothing? You need to relax. You need to relax. Because I can be suffering from alopecia. You guys. You all realize. You can you relax. You can be suffering from alopecia.

That can be suffering from alpecia. That can be suffering from alpice. You need to be. You don't know. You don't know. We're going to, like you said in the beginning, Andrew, we're going to let this black queen speak. That's right.

That's right. That's the point you want to make, sweetheart. Go ahead. Make your point. Okay. I have a question. What is Alopeeches anyway? Say what?

Listen, we're going to listen. Go ahead. They grow in Georgia a lot. They do. They go. There's a whole show. The real housewives of Atlanta, they hold them. They do.

They do. They do. They do. No, pro pro. Do y'all think at any term that Will may resent Jada, though? No. I'm not even having that. No, no, no.

I'm saying I'm saying this. No, no. Because he's just saying he got Popeye's not. We're not silencing black women on this podcast. No, no, I'm just opening this discussion. Open it up. With what happened entanglements and everything else, right? You saw all this Pope fun at Will, like, oh, he's weak, da-da-da.

And then now he's standing up for Jada. And now, well, if he gets his Oscar taken away or anything else like that. Maybe. First of all, okay, I got to disagree with you so strong. These are the kind of conversations that piss them off, I bet. Yeah, like, first of all, I like this. No, I'm just asking. I like this discussion.

The whole thing with the entanglement is Jada. It's a great discussion. Are you asking if Jada is actually a sorceress? Shut up. Is that what you're asking? It doesn't like that. It does not like that. No.

And I don't know how you want to. So when she broke that spell. She's out. She just jumped on me and told me I need to protect black women, but did she attack some black women? I'm not attacking her, though. She just put all the blame on the woman. That's kind of fuck up.

You would put all the body. I'm saying, pause. Let me respond to that, though, because it's almost like you're saying all the pain and the sorrow that Will is receiving is because of his wife, Jada Pinkett. No, no, I'm not saying that's all of it. I'm not saying that's all of it. But I'm just saying some of it. Some of it.

These past couple of years, it's been from Jada. Yeah. Well, first of all, we, Jada has been exposed. I love Will Smith. They have whatever they're doing their marriage. His stuff just is not in the front line. I'm quite sure. I'm quite sure.

I'm quite sure. Will Smith has done some things that we're just not talking about. No. Absolutely. Absolutely. So with this, no, absolutely, that's the reason. Nope. No, he knows that.

We don't know these people. We don't know these people. The reason why I think is true is that it's hard as he's going for because most black men are going to leave you. He left his girl for a. Oh. Okay. What's this? Was that her?

Did you feel that? You got to see him what I'm saying? So the fact that he wanted to say. We're back in the elevator. We're back in the elevator. We're back in the elevator. Oh. Oh.

So the fact that he won't stand with a woman because you know, Will Smith is saying by Jada through thick and thin lets me know that he got some shit. What was thick and thin? The fact that she slept with August Alcina, and this is just something that we know, I'm quite sure there's other things, but he is still standing by his wife no matter what.

And most men will leave a woman if they cheat on them. So I feel like, I'm like because he's getting by her, he's done something. Will Smith said that him in. Jada have never cheated on each other. No, I'm not saying. They're saying about all. They have understanding in their marriage. Will Smith and Jada said that

Will said when he had interviewed with Gail King that there has never been infidelity in their relationship. But look, just how you said that Will. But look, but I'm not saying nothing about cheating. I'm just saying though that you just saying, you're blaming black women. I'm not blaming black women. I'm just saying, just how you said that all his life

Will was a one type of way that he didn't stand up for his mom or whatever. All that. Stop. I'm just saying. You don't think that's going to think it. I think it's frustrating. I think it's frustrating.

It's hard to evolve. I don't think I could ever evolve to a point where dudes are smoking out my wife on a regular. Like, I don't think I'm capable of that. And the guy's a singer? And yeah. Come on. I'll be kidding. Could y'all evolve to that point?

Wait, say it again. Where other men are sleeping with my wife. I don't think I could evolve to that. Right. Exactly. So. So I guess I think... So the point I'm saying is, but let's say if you guys have that, like, Will does this thing, Jada does her thing.

It's just Jada's mess got in put in front of the world. Will's mess didn't get in front of the world. Call the mess, whatever case we'd be. And that's why I feel like he's so supportive. He doesn't have a mess. Exactly. He definitely has... How do you know definitely that one girl came out?

I'm putting that on. I see. Because if he didn't, he would leave her. Because if he wasn't, if it wasn't an equal relationship... Sorcery. It wasn't equal. You were seeing by a woman. You were seeing by a, okay, listen, you're the perfect husband, right?

You're not cheating. You're not doing anything. Hold on real quick. You're not doing anything outside of your marriage. And then your wife has cheated, slept with this person, and then that. You're going to stay by her and you didn't do nothing. I got to be under a spell. Can I tell these beautiful black women is something?

I'm not. Please. My sister, Kendra G. My niece, Taylor. I don't like how y'all put the blame on Jada as a black woman. And then now, and then now y'all accusing this black man, Will Smith of nothing. No, I am. Where is this evidence coming from?

Why do all black men got to cheat? It's right. No, it's not true. Why are all black men guilty before proven innocent? Black men don't cheat. I don't cheat. You don't cheat? Why are you doing this to Will?

What did Will do? We have nothing. Listen, we're only dealing with the small sample size that we have of these people's lives. Will has, there's not, Will doesn't have anything. So why are we making this? Will is free for. Why can't Will? Why can't Will?

Okay. Go with that. Go with that. Go with that. Let me say this real quick. Why can't Will just. love his wife and the same way women stick besides their men

when men do whatever they do why can't he just be doing that? Wait, whoa, whoa. Why that's a foreign concept? No, that's crazy, bro. That's crazy, bro. I'm not saying that though. Well, I'm not saying that he can't.

Well, I'm definitely, let me ask you this. So you're telling me if your wife cheated, slept with someone, you know it's the rapper and you did nothing. You were faithful the whole time did nothing outside of the box. You would stay. At this point in my life, yes.

Promise you. I'm going to tell you what I'm talking about right now. This is what Will is doing. The best man the movie. He's a great guy. He's amazing. He's amazing. He's right.

He's right. But also, Charlemagne has been open. But hold on, real quick. Charlemagne is also open about his past. So it's almost like, this is what I'm saying by Will Smith. Okay, I'm using a movie, The Best Man. In the Best Man, Tay Dick slept with, he found out his wife slept with Tay Diggs. And he stayed with her.

He stayed with her because all the bullshit that he had did in the past. So what I'm saying is, God bless you, Andrew. Drew, I'm sorry. You got a post, that's not true. It is true. He stayed with her because he read the Bible, and he noted he had to forget.

And he also, no, he did shit himself. That's true. He never cheated on her. And he wanted, yes, he did. What you're talking about? Lance was a football player, man. He was sleeping with women all the time. Hey, hey, bro.

I can I believe this? No, no, you should not say a black man. No, no, you should not say a black man cheated, bro. It's a movie. No. No. No. We can believe you, man.

Oh, no. We're not going to put those stereotypes out there in the world. The real stuff is just not the point of conversation, and that's why he's... Because he has nothing. All right, but guess what? Even if he don't... Whatever, whatever. That's two drug dealers and this one got caught.

Right. You know what I'm saying? You got to go to jail. You want to give the drug dealer analogy, Waxie. Why? You understood that? Do you understand that? You got to sell drugs because you're black man.

I can't believe you. Why are you bringing me down? I bet you put the drug dealer analogy. But did you understand it better, though, right? No, I did. Come on, no. She did. I got you.

I got you. I got you. I got you. Then got caught selling drugs. We sending everybody healing energy, man. And, you know, I don't think there's a right or wrong in this situation. I really truly don't. I don't think Chris was wrong.

I don't think Will was wrong. I just think everybody needs motherfucking healing. I think Chris is wrong from at least putting his guard up. And like I said earlier, you know, healing is hard. And if it wasn't hard, all of us would be whole, but we're not whole. We're human. Yes. And that's what everybody needs to rebuild.

This business is crazy, man. It's a crazy business brand. And it's getting even crazy. Yes, it is. The reason is getting crazier is because all of this shit that we used to see in, like, satire, that we used to see in spoofs, that we used to see on the boondocks. It's really happening in real life. No, let me tell you why it's getting crazier, because to many people have, there's more voices. Too many voices?

Before back in the day, social media platforms didn't exist. So it was a select amount of people that can make their opinion on stuff. Now everybody has a voice. Everybody can make a comment. And then that goes along with your mental health, because now you're listening. before back in a day, shout out to Wendy Williams. She was very outspoken. Now there's 20,000 people.

Everybody's lying if they say they don't feed in to what other people say. If you really want to be successful, you really have to disconnect. You have to turn that shit off. Yeah. Like you have to, you know, do whatever it is that you're doing without listening to the opinions of others because the opinions of others will ruin you. And I'm not even talking about just bad opinions. I'm talking about good fucking opinions.

That's why when my daddy used to tell me you're never as good as they say you are and you're never as bad as they say you are. That's how you keep yourself in check. You can feed your ego every day. You can feed your narcissism every day simply by listening to that one little echo chamber, which is small. But in our mind, we think it's the biggest thing in the world.

There's so many people out here that think, like, yo, everybody's checking for them, and everybody's talking about what they're doing, and everybody's paying attention to them. No, it's not. It's those three or four people on social media that when you post a picture, they leave a comment for you,

and now you feel like you bigger than life. when the reality is you're this small in the bigger scheme of things. The only validation you should have is the validation that comes from within. Everybody else's validation don't matter. External validation don't matter. Internal validation is the most important.

You would not be who you are right now if you kept listening to the opinions of others. That is true. We sat in, listen, not in this studio. I've watched Andrew, and I don't know if we've said this before, I watched you cry. Yeah. Over the fact, he couldn't get roles

as a white man in Hollywood. No. Seriously? What's just fucking. You know how fuck that is? Yeah, you know how fuck that is? Yo, bro, if you was really for that, none of us gave a fuck.

You're like, damn, what the fuck is wrong with you? You can't get a role? Like, you're not white for real? Oh, God. That's hilarious. That was good. You can't go. I can't say nothing, but I don't even know what to say.

That's funny. I was reliving the vulnerable moment. I enjoyed you, Andrew. I enjoyed our difference of opinion. I feel like you've done the podcast before. I've never did the podcast before. Yeah, this is dumb though. Nice to meet together.

I actually can walk away. I'm better in person. You're better in person? Meaning like if you meet me, you get it more. No, you do. You're a definitely a person you got to get to know. No, I like, no. You can give me a hand towel with it?

You know, I like this, though? I like this because these are two people who I, love hearing their commentary. You know what I'm saying? So when you see them come together and it's like, oh, okay, I already know what this going to be. It's going to be, especially due to the topic.

But what I love the most is we could agree to disagree. We're obviously coming from different perspectives. Like I was coming from the strong black perspective. You're like, I'm coming from the comedy strong black perspective. And I respect that. And even though we don't agree on everything, I love that we could agree to disagree in a respectful way.

Because at the end of the day, we were here for 100 years. So like, let's make it. if we're lucky. So like, let's make the most, like, none of this shit. I know this sounds crazy, but like, none of this shit really matters. Yeah. He's sleeping shit. That's it.

Like, take care of people's. Like, so, like, let's have some fun. Let's talk about, like, this is fun. We had some distraction this week. Yeah. Cool. Like, I was looking at a little Duval when he says this kind of stuff. And he's just like, what are we just getting distracted by?

How are we enjoying our time while we're here? And if we're getting too caught up and angry in it, then we're missing out the point. That's just, right. Unless you getting angry of somebody else's life. Somebody else's life. Somebody else's shit, man. Like, that's what I said with you. This should not take your week.

This should not take over your week. It should not consume your week. Everywhere I want to did, though. No, I don't. We have to listen. You got to give it to Saturday Night Live. They got to do it this weekend. SNL's going to do it.

And then after SNL does it. Maconador. They're going to definitely monitor. I love Pete Davidson. They're going to mock them for sure. That's family. I love Chris Red. I am not sitting around waiting for Saturday Night Live.

But they're going to mock it on this. Will Smith, Chris Rock's situation. I don't think they got this one. I'll be honest. I think they're going to step away from this. By the way, they got the harder job because... They got to come after everything. You can't exactly.

All the joke's been made. The satire is done. This is better than satire. This is better than sketch. There's nothing you can do. If it happened Thursday, maybe, but it's kind of too long. No, it's too massive for them not to touch on it. It's the biggest thing.

They're going to touch on it. They're going to touch it. They're going to be the intro. They're going to touch it, but it's like, How can it be funnier than what we've seen on the internet? It can't be. They got rules. The internet got no rules.

I am Karen. It could be funny. I am Karen is fire. There you go, S&L. There you go. Run with it. Let's pay some bills, man. Come back and do some asking idiots.

From people who listen to the podcast. Okay. Barrick. Oh, man, I'm going to wait for shows come back to answer that question. Joe Tulin says no question about a statement you can't tell a man how to defend his wife. Right.

Okay, this is a good one. Cruz Smb says if you could upgrade any part of yourself physically or mentally, what would it be? Physically or, okay. Are we answering this? Oh, without Andrew. Okay, so what's the question again?

If you could upgrade any part of yourself physically or mentally, what would it be? As I'm getting older, my stomach is not as flat as it used to be. So I'm having stomach, self-consciousness. right now. And I have money, but I'm a worker. So I'm running the New York City Marathon this year. I don't think I haven't told you that. But I'm running New York City Marathon. I'm hoping that in the training process, which I believe I will, I will lose all COVID weight that I gained. But, you know, a girl will be thinking about getting the surgery,

but I think I'm better than... A little tuck here, a little tuck there? A little tuck here and there, but I'm a worker. I like to work for minds. I like to say I actually was disciplined to have this. So that's the one thing I would change if I thought. What about you, Wax? Is I going to upgrade anything in my life Be my bank account? He said physically or mentally, man Mentally will help me out with my bank account Oh, you said physically a mentally

Oh, like my brain or I try to explain my brain Because you're already made physically perfect My brain is the need to expand Okay, okay Cruz SMV, everything I'm trying to upgrade in my life Physically and mentally I'm currently doing You know what I'm saying? That's why I work out the way I do

That's why I diet the way that I do. And, you know, mentally, every day of my life, I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to get smarter. I'm trying to get more emotionally in tune. You know what I mean? That's why we go to therapy. That's why, you know, we read these self-help books. That's why we have sacred purpose coaches.

That's why we have, you know, spiritual leaders. Like, you know, every day I am trying to get better physically and mentally. And, you know, the best way to upgrade yourself is just to do it. It's not like those things. aren't available. The only thing physically I would love to change about myself, two things I would love to change that I don't know if I can. Mentally, I wish I could retain everything that I've taken information-wise, because I'll read a book and I'll remember parts of it. You know what I mean? No matter how many times I read it, is this like certain things stick to me,

certain things don't. And physically, I would, I would like to have a bigger penis. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. I would. Why you have a wife? What's the purpose when you already have a wife and you have beautiful children? I want one of them intimidating dicks. But why? Who was going to notice? besides your wife. She's already happy with the ones she has. I know, but I just want to load something. I got like baby bears parched.

It's just right. So you're saying that you're small, basically. No, no, I'm not small. Well, you must be small if you want to increase the length and... I'm average. I'm seven inches three-fourth. Eight when it's warm. I am.

Eight when it's warm, so summertime, I'm... No, I mean... I mean... I mean, but what's the purpose when you're happily married? Like, unless you're trying to be... Like, okay, when you're happily married and you're not going nowhere, like, I think it's necessary for, like, a wax who's out of... here in these streets, right?

But it's just dope. Like, when you watch a porn and you see, when you watch a porn and you see the lady pull that shit out and that shit, like, drop like a gun. Well, I'm going to say this. First of all, what you may not know, women don't, you can't be, but you can't be too big because too big can be just,

uncomfortable for some women, and they don't want that either. By the way, I'm just a, I'm a grower, not a shore. I just want a little bit more for show. Like, when you first step out to shower, you know what I mean? Like, you don't want to just be grabbing for the towel because you don't want to see you got to beat it. You got to hit it on

Oh my God. Stop it. Been there, done that. I thought you're going to say change your teeth since you're going through all that right now. I'm doing that, though. Oh, okay. That physically I can't change your penis eyes. There's no BBL for Dix.

There actually is a series. It is? Yeah. Really. I heard it just does girf. Oh, I don't know. Oh, okay. What else we got, um, Alex?

I want to take filling away. That's kind of wild. That's his name. Oh, my bad tale of damn. I'm like, what you mean? You're trying to erase black men? What do we got to have Alex on like a show or something like that?

Is Alex on a show like Will a Fortune or something? Yeah, Alex Rebecca, he died. They wanted to Alex. He died. He died. Yeah, he died, man. I'm sorry. I'm here.

Blue 305. Answer that one, Wax Blue 305. Blue 305. Blue 305. Blue 305. Wax and Carla update. Whoa. A wax and Carla update.

Wax and Carla update. We're blessed. God is blessing us. You should have just said. I can't read. I'm saying, we're blessed. What answers that? We're all blessed.

Are you guys together? We woke up this morning. Are you guys that wake up together? Did you wake up in the same bed? He put his food on my table. Did you wake up in the same bed? Did you and Carla wake up in the same bed today? Peter, asked you about what the good Lord did to you.

The question was, did you and Carla wake up in the same bed this morning? What's the last time you spoke to Carla? Oh, my. Jesus. Lord have mercy. Okay, let's go to Giro. Giro underscore says, where did this Will and Chris situation

put us on the Black Progress scale? It put us nowhere, and we got to stop saying that. It didn't set us back. You know what I mean? It didn't take us forward. It could take us forward because we could be... I think it took us forward. I think it could take us forward

because we could have some real conversations about, you know, people and how to deal with things. You know what I'm saying? And how we all got to have our outlet. You know what I mean? Who does the go-to person, you know, to like he outland on his feet that's what I'm saying like you black men black men have to have real spaces black men have to have real spaces in order to express their

feelings they got to be safe spaces basketball courts uh gym nah but it's got to be bigger than that that's physical stuff yeah i think you got to be able to talk therapy like you do our therapy we just damn with therapy they got to be safe spaces for us to mentally and emotionally express ourselves man because when we don't have no place to express ourselves things like situation happened. Yes. You know what I mean? You know, Wax once in therapy?

Yeah, I know. Right. Okay. I'm proud of you. Proud for the first time. He went there bullshit in the therapist. Oh, God. He's how to put shades on everything.

Um, yeah. That's all. It didn't set us back. And you know, another thing I hate, I hate when people say things like, um, you can't do that at the Oscars. I don't give a fuck about the Oscars. That's why I was happy happen there. It's like, yo, stop it.

It's almost like you're saying, learn how to behave in front of white people. Don't play with me like that. Don't play. I hung on somebody who did say that shit to me. Who fuck are you talking to? By the way, we shouldn't be doing that anywhere. Right. Like you mean, why it's just the Oscars?

Like, we shouldn't do that nowhere. Watch your mouth. Don't play that. But I actually seen that Chris, where I say after he got smacked the way he came back and did something so professional, it was like, unbelievable. There's no, Obama want to hell that. That's what I'm saying. There was a lot.

Obama would have held that smack? That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. Chris is a whole G for that. That's professional as a motherfucker.

Chris was, Chris maintains the professionalism. Yes. Let's do two more. What? Omar Alazar 95 say, would Wax do the same thing Will did in the Oscars?

Hell yeah. I mean, for any one of mine, you know what I'm saying? It'd be like even with my baby mom and stuff like that. It's like if somebody's doing, I still got to protect them

because of my sons. You know, since my son's at a certain age, if somebody's doing, I see her that she feel disrespected. We could be at a cookout in the backyard. You know what I'm saying?

If I see somebody hurt, she felt disrespected, I'm at least going to go to the guy. But for me being who I am, bro, you're supposed to know that. So I think that Chris disrespected, Will Smith at the end of the day, ain't nothing to do with nobody else. Certain people you ain't going to play with at all. Yeah. You see what I'm saying? And wax, you know not to play with me at all.

I was going to say, wax is the kind of guy that's going to smack you. Like you know that. Like you know that. Yeah. So I think for sure you're going to do anything. You know you're going to do that. You don't expect that. And if you do that to me or disrespect like that, I think that you want to get smacked.

Oh, this is a good one. There's two more I want to do. I want to do this one. Reese Narcisse. Reese says, why are we mad at Kanye for him storming the stage and we understand Wells? First of all, that is number one of false equivalency. Yeah.

Number two, who was mad at Kanye? Everybody was mad at Kanye. The culture wasn't? Nah, people fuck. Not for the Taylor Swift shit. Listen, I think that it was, it was, it was. Obama even called him an idiot. Yes, people were very mad at, uh, saying.

I don't remember. That's the whole thing. I'm a mainstream America being mad because of Taylor. But not the coach. The coach was like, he's right. Yeah, he defended Beyonce and Beyonce should have won. That's right. Well, Beyonce, by the way, it was still tacky as fuck.

Well, yeah, it was tacky. Beyonce should have won because overall she won for best video of the year, but then lost in the pop category. Which he exposed how award shows are done. They just give out awards because that's how the business works, right? It wasn't the right thing to do. But people were very mad at Kanye over Taylor. I saw people trying to make a correlation between the Kanye and Will thing.

And they was like, well, you know, if Will can do that at the, Oscars, why can't the Grammys let Kanye, you know, still perform? One reason and one reason only. If Will had been on social media saying, I'm going to slap this shit out of Chris Rock. I'm going to slap the shit out somebody. Or I'm going to put a video that he's killing somebody. That's right.

He put a video of somebody that's after Oscars. I'm going up. If Will had been online doing that, the Oscars wouldn't have been invited. The Oscars would have told him stay his ass home. You know what I'm saying? So what are we talking about? That is such a weird correlation. It's like, yes.

It makes no sense. Kanye premeditated something. So if the Oscars was to put Kanye on that stage... No, Kanye was really wrong. He was dating Amber Rose at that time. No, no, I'm talking about now. With the Grammy's boycott. But I think what this question is referring to...

To that point, Kanye has a past to being unpredictable. It's all fun in games when it's just, you know, you're being political and everything else. But when you're doing something that actually could cause harm to you, the mother of your child and somebody else, they're going to tell you stay home. Well, no, I kind of agree with the question now that I'm understanding it more

because they're saying, I think we were mad at Kanye because I was necessarily mad, but I thought it was wrong. It wasn't the right time. But I wasn't mad at Will Smith. I wasn't mad at Kanye because I came from the air of old, dirty, best. Running up on the stage and saying, Wu Tang is for the chival. So I was not mad at Kanye.

That's what I'm used to. Okay? We expect something. Aye, man. Hey, that's what I'm used to. I'm used to when I seen to happen. I'm used to 50 sit walking across the stage when goddamn, I forgot who won best new artists at the Grammys that year,

but he got robbed. It was a rock group for somebody. Who won Best New Grammys that year? And 50 didn't say nothing, but he just got up on the, he walked up on the stage and just walked behind him and was looking at the camera and went and sat back down. Y'all don't remember that?

That's right. I remember that shit. I remember that. Fuck, yeah. Go back to that. Yes, it was when 50 Cent lost Best New Artist at the Grammys and it was a rock group that won, and 50 Cent jumped on the stage

and walked behind the group. and came back down. So stuff like that don't, that don't bother me. But I still ain't never seen nobody get smacked. That was new. Let's go to the corporate question. Taylor, scroll up to the top. I want to end on this one.

This is a good question. Scroll up to the top, Taylor. No, not that. I think it was the first one. Other one. Yeah, there you go. Real in a corporate setting. Yes, that's from Barrett 7.

How do you keep it real in a corporate setting? You don't. You don't? It all depends on a situation. You don't. You got to know there's rules. Right. You don't keep it real.

There's rules. It still all depends what happens. Mm-mm. And corporate, I suggest. If you want to keep your job, I think, I'm assuming that's what he's saying.

How do you keep real and still keep your job? What is real though? Don't keep it real. Like, you can't say, I don't like you because, like, you've given me too many hours and you've given this person.

Like, I mean, you have to have almost like a sexual harassment, like a real issue to go to human resource with. But like, if you don't like your boss because he's pissing you off, you got to sum it that in

No, that's not true. I know somebody who, who go on just because they feel uncomfortable at the workplace. That's different. That's like a human resource situation. Uncomfortable as in, that's, I think right now we're definitely in that phase. Like, you could definitely, it was always

like that. So I am happy that women or men, if you feel uncomfortable, you can go to human resource, they take that stuff seriously. But for the most part, you can't keep it real in corporate. I want to know what keeping it real is, though. Like, what does keeping it real mean to you? Because I, there's nothing.

Saying that you don't like somebody that you know you can't say that. Yeah, I think of stuff like that. I think we are. We've been blessed to get jobs that we can keep it real and give our opinion, but most people don't have that privilege. Most people don't have the privilege of speaking their mind

and their opinion and still having income. So it's a privilege to be able to voice your opinion. Most people hate their own. This is a privilege to be able to say what you want to say. Because that person getting them a check. Yeah, I've never not kept it real in a corporate setting. I do know when. It worked in your favor.

Yeah, I do know it's a time. place, meaning like, if I have a gripe with somebody, let's have a meeting about it. Right. Because if I just go to that person and... Words get mistaken. There you go. Now that person can go to H. John said, no, no, let's have a meeting so we can all sit down. Other people can be here.

Everybody can be here present. And we all can say what we need to say about each other. That's how, to me, that's how you keep it real. The corporate said, I think the stuff y'all be wanting to keep it real about is not even real at all. I need to know what that means. I don't think it means in terms of, like, fight. But let's say you have like an opinion, right, that might go against the grain of, you know, what Hollywood, for example, would want you to say or think or feel. It's hard to

keep it real and also maintain those relationships, maintain your job. Like, yeah, I definitely feel for those people out there who go, hey, I'd like to be more honest. Yeah, Will said that. Yeah, Will's like, I couldn't curse. And that's because the studios are like, hey, buddy, we're paying you $20 million a year. All you have to do is not cursing interviews. It's not that big a deal. Like, When you're out to dinner, curse whenever you want. But you're going to have an interview with Access, Hollywood, or whatever. They're going to ask you questions. Don't say, fuck.

That seems like a decent deal for me. I would never swear again. Right? But it's so wild, though, right? My mama told me, I can't curse. She didn't give you nothing. It's what you do. It's so wild because evidence.

That's the one. That's the oddest. And 50 walked across the day. And what's so wild about what Shultz said is, like, I'd be wondering about shit like this, right? Because they'll tell, and I always tell this story. I told them my first book. When I, when I, when I, when I was, wanted to name my book,

I don't give a fucking neither shit you. A self-help guide on how not to give a fuck. The book publishers told me I couldn't name my book that. A book like that will never sell. It won't be, it won't get into Target. It won't get in the Walmart, all of this shit.

And I'm like, well, who says that? Who said that? But they're just going off the rules of how books were prior to that. Then Mark comes out, drops the stud of art and not giving a fuck. And sells a million plus copies. Now everybody got curse words in their titles. You know what I mean?

you know why, I hate to say it, bring the race component. It's because you're a black man. And I feel like there's people like, you know, you have the churches, you as a black man, why would you do that? I mean, there is, I'm going to call it privilege or white privilege, but there is a privilege as a white man. He can do that and get away with it. His audience is going to support it.

It's not going to be judged as much. You as a black man is going to be judged. It's like you have a higher standard. I'm not, yeah, I'm not saying that's wrong, but I also think, too, you got to have people that are willing to take that risk and say, well, I agree with you. That's what you want to do. Do it. And then when it works,

everybody looks like fucking genius. Right. Everybody looks like they're changing the model. You know what I mean? Everybody's crazy until it works. Everybody's crazy until it fucking works. But do you think it would have worked for you the same? Yes.

You did? But I mean, but by the way, I'm not even tripping because... Everything happened for a reason. Everything happened for a reason. And I had a great conversation with Steve Harvey. When I told Steve Harvey, the name of the book, Steve Harvey said,

No, player, that ain't it. That ain't it. That ain't it. He said, we need to give a fuck. All right? That's exactly what he said. He said, no, no, no. He said, we can't afford to not give a fuck.

Okay? He said, that's the problem. A bunch of people nowadays in our community don't give a fuck. And he was like, you know, you got. He said, you got a story to tell, and it's a story that can empower people. And he said, you know, you need to tap into that. You know, how can this story be meaningful for people? Find a title that's going to actually mean something to people.

And then, you know, I was like, you know what? It's a privilege to be black. It's an honor to be black. And I ran it by our late great friend Jazz Fly, and she was like, that's it. And, you know, half a million of sold books later. You know, you're doing okay. Like, you know. It was meant to be.

It was meant to be. Best seller, baby. New York Times best seller it is. Let's talk about it. Third one on the way. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. What are you thinking?

I'm in writing for a man. We're cooking up. Okay, so you don't want to. I got a couple, actually. Don't want to expose too much. Hey, man, I got a book in print. We just shoot. You know?

You're crazy. I'm going to go call Carla right now. Whoa. I bet you shut the fuck up now. Have it you get. All right. If you're idiots and not, go ahead. As always, if you can listen to this podcast,
