This is it. We might be drunk, baby. What's up, guys? Hey. And gals. And gals. We're trying to be more women-friendly. We need more women fans.

Well, Chelsea Handler didn't help. But we're trying. Lord knows we're trying. She was cool. I liked it. Still bangable. Yeah. I'd say.

Is that a compliment? Yes. Okay. I think the way you worded it probably wasn't ideal. Well, female... It's like referring to... A visual women's vagina is pussy. Ah.

It's like, I don't think they love the word, but bangable is a compliment. Right. If a woman told me I was bangable, I'd be like, thank you. Of course, but I think it's different for a woman. Probably. You know, uh, anywhere that during sex, you can say mean things to women, but not before sex. Yeah, they kind of have to prompt it, though. You can't out of nowhere, just be like, you whore.

That's true. They have to be like, they have to get the wheels in motion a little. But then sometimes girls, like, I don't want to tell you what to do. do because then it ruins it. And then you take some liberties and now you have a restraining order. There you go. Ridiculous. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry I sluts shamed you. I try. I was in character. And seen. All right. Well, there you go. But I can see her being pretty wild in the sack. What's new, man?

Same old. The wife's out of town. So I've been watching movies at home. I got the whole TV to myself. What are you watching? I watched Jeremiah Johnson last night. I know the meme, but I've never seen. It's Redford. Redford, Sidney Pollock directed it. John Millius wrote it. He wrote, I mean, this is Apocalypse Now.

This is Conan, Red Dawn. He's like a real man. Did you write Letterman? Who? No, I was kidding. It was not a late-night joke. Anyway, yeah, no, I heard it's good. Oh, it's fun.

It's super fun. It's based on a real guy. Yeah. Name a John Liver Eaton Johnson or something like that. And he would eat the Indians, like Native Americans liver after he killed him. So that's a wild movie. It's good not to waste. You got to eat the whole Indian, I've always said.

Eat the whole Indian, exactly. You don't want to be wasteful. Yeah, never seen it. Oh, that's great. I've never seen it either. You know what I watched the other day? My buddy Alex English tells me to watch. That's an underrated comedian right there.

I love Alex. Killer comic. We got to get them in here. We should. Love Alex. Good hang. Anyway, he told me, we're talking movies. He goes, you've never seen, we're talking about how we both like camera on.

He goes, you've never seen, I bet you've seen this movie. Get in here. Oh, shit. Get in here. Come on. Hey. Godfrey. Godfrey, everybody.

The Wire? The Wire is the best show on HBO ever. Man. It's probably my number two. I might go Sopranos one. Well, no. No, I gave you to it. Yeah.

I love The Wire. No, no, no, listen. Sopranos lasted longer, didn't it? I think so. But Supranos is more comedy for rewatch. But Spanels is just as good. Yeah, yeah. They're two different types, but it's still about.

crime. Yeah. Sure. But it's both equal. You know, you're right. I didn't even realize it was HBO. What's that? Supranos was HBO.

HBO had a run. But then it moved to, Supranos moved to another channel. No, no, it was all HBO. Yeah, yeah. They had a run, man.

No, it was all. Gandalfi. HBO. First of all, Erie Spears does the best James. It's crazy. Can we pull it up? I've never seen anybody doing Gandhany.

But I've been busting my ass on the social media. I'm not the choice, bro. Yeah. It shows. Well, I mean, everyone's been doing their own kind of thing. Everyone, all you got... Everybody's... We haven't been doing it the normal way.

Sure. Whether you're on Kill Tony or whatever. Everybody's, comics have created their own fucking, this fucking community of, we're just doing it our own way, man. Whether it's, Seguerian and his shit, the Rogan and his shit, it hasn't, we haven't been, been moved around and bossed around by the fucking network. You know, we're just doing it. We're sick of waiting for him. Let's do it ourselves. And Schultz was one of the same guy.

I remember him first saying it. We got to start counting on ourselves. And fuck these people, man. And look at everybody got fired off. a series X-M. I did. All of us did. You're a show in series, too? Yeah, for like two years. Bitch fired me. She wanted

me, have a show. I go, I don't really do radio. No, you should do a show. She saw me in the hallway. You know, I was doing Jim's show. Yeah. And so, yeah, yeah, you should do. I was like, I don't really do radio. I don't like sitting in a fucking, you know, I want to show up at whatever clock, you know.

Yeah, well's up, Tom and Jimmy. Good morning. I hate all that shit. So I was like, uh, I I was like, all right, what time? Oh, what about 12 o'clock? I think I could do that, right? Okay. So it was for an urban view.

It's like Al Sharpton's on that stage. It's like gospel. It's like conservative black people. I say, well, I'm not conservative. I talk shit. So what's up? She goes, no, we need, you know, our channel's a little boring. We want, her name.

I'm not going to name her name. Fuck that bitch. I'm going to give her no problem. Well, now it's no one. Now it's fucking Howard Stern, Baba, Bababooie, and a Kourg in that fucking office. Yeah, that's it. Stern is the reason why it's still floating, you know? Yeah.

And I was doing stuff for Stern, little, like, he does these little, like, sketch things. And so I was doing some voice stuff for him. It was dumb. But anyway, I'm doing that. And so I, along with this show I was doing. So at 12 o'clock, I got an hour show, and it was power hour, and I just brought some of my comic friends on talking shit. But it started doing well.

And, you know, I had little, you know, the thing. you answer calls and shit. Oh, that's fun. So my shit stayed lit. Like, because I was talking shit. Because I said, I'm going to talk shit. I'm telling you. I'm not, I don't hold me back.

No, go do whatever you want. Yeah. So I went in doing my shit. I had different people on. I had Method Man on my shit. Vivica, I had all kinds of people coming through, right? Because they used it when they were promoting shit. Right.

I mean, we're doing pretty good. Yeah, we're sick of sway. Come on. And then. Charlemagne, don't get me started. Right. And then bam, they say, hey, you want two hours now? Because people say you need longer than, you need more than that.

It's like one of your sets. Hell yeah, only 15 minutes. Sure. Hey, if I go last, I'm doing 30. If I got to watch the circus go by, guess what? Fuck that shit. Yeah, you're able to help it. Hey, there's a juggler before you got me.

All right, motherfucker. That's another 45. You don't know. No, fuck that. So, um, so, uh, so, uh, you. Yeah, so I got two hours, right? It was six to eight. You know, I said, I think I could do that.

That's like prime time. So I got moved to six to eight. I started doing really well again, you know. And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden I started getting hounded by them. Oh, you can't see this. I go, oh, man. And then I got fired one day because I said something crazy. What did you say?

I said something about, it was, I was in D.C. I went to the series X-M, the big studio, their main, it's unbelievable. It's beautiful. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to do some cross-promoting since I'm doing a DC improv. Yep. I'm going to go, I want to go by the studio. It was fired from where he hosted the Godfrey Complex on Urban View Channel.

It doesn't say why. Oh, the truck driver and a fan approached Godfrey for a photo at the headquarters. In the headquarters in the lobby, yeah. Oh. And you said no photos were allowed. No, no. The dude at the desk was like a gay dude who was transitioning. I know he had makeup and, no, a dude, black dude.

And he was like, but he was rude. He was like this. Uh-uh. Nope, no, there's no photos. You can't have no photos. You know, like, Shanae? I can't tell what side he's transitioning to, at that impression. It's like this, why the fuck, there's no photo, you can't have photos.

I was like this. And it was just me and him in the lobby's huge. I go, the guy is a subscriber. Yeah. Truck drivers are what keeps Series XM going. Exactly. He's a subscriber. The guy just was nice, he was an older man.

Like, my kids love you, da, da, da. And she, I, you can. I say, man, you're kind of rude, dude. Like, relax. there's no one here. Yeah, who cares? It was the weirdest exchange. And Godfrey's like,

so I beat the shit out of her and they fired me. Hell no, him. Him. Still had the strength. All right. So no. So I went to Laura Coats,

who's one of the main anchors on CNN now. She's a lawyer. She's a badass lawyer. Laura Coates. Okay. She's the shit. And she, I went on,

yeah, her. I went on her show. And, you know, because I was cross-promoting, so I woke up really early to do these different shows. just to talk, you know, get on her show, get on, so I went on her show and she goes,

yo, what's, what, you seem a little like disturbed? I say, yeah, because people know I talk shit. I talk shit. I would say, I would love to smack the shit out of this person, blah, blah, blah. Right. So I say, yo, this dude downstairs, he like, you know, he kind of stopped me from giving a guy a picture. He was like, he was, I guess he was part of the LGBT community.

And he was real rude to me. He was just, like, rude. So I imitate people anyway. So he was like, and I imitated exactly what he said. He goes, nah, no pictures. There's no pictures. And he was so rude and he had these braids. And I wanted to take him by his braids and drag him out and throw him out the door.

And then that's what got me fired. What? That's that? None of that shit. Right. No. I don't care if you're gay, but he was just rude. Yeah.

But they love to put, because you're gay, you, it has nothing to do with your character. Right. You know what I mean? Of course. You're just rude. But they like to combine it. Yes, well. And by the way, braids is not male or female.

That could be either gender, right? But what's funny is they like to combine it when it's convenient. Right. Because if I were to say, I don't like gays, oh, there has nothing to do with my character. Then they want to be human after. They go back and forth. They volley with the shit. Welcome to the white man's burden.

We've been dealing with us for years. Which is, by the way, the name of our podcast. The White Man's Burden. Remember that movie? Oh, yeah. That was heavy. I don't know it. White man's burden was

John Travolta. And wait a minute. In the deep south. Pete Green, who's my friend who passed away. Peter Green? Is that Peter Green in that? Oh, he was a good actor.

No, he was my friend. The mask. Oh, yeah. And no, Pope fiction. Remember when they were doing the guilt? Oh, Zed. He did die, yeah. Peter Green.

That seemed as the black man's burden right there. Getting medieval on your ass. So what now? I'm going to tell you would now. Oh, shit. I'm gonna call a couple of hard pipe hitting niggas with the homes here. You hear me talking hillbilly boy.

I ain't through with you by damn sight. I'm gonna get medieval on ya. Yeah. Wow. It's like now, two things. You stay gone and be gone. Wow. That's good.

That's a fucking great scene. That was great. I was hooking up with the girl once while that scene came on. And she's like, let's fuck. And I was like, now we got to finish the scene. Hold on. I can't be. I can't fuck you.

You just have it in and wait. then you start pumping. This is a sodomy scene. I can't get in the mood to this. I need the redemption. And you have a sword over your bed. I'm choosing lube's like the way Bruce Willis is choosing weapons. Said's dead, baby.

Codd's dead, baby. Sid's dead. Oh my God, that woman in that scene the next scene, like, did they have the pancakes? Are you like me to chop your fucking, yeah, that was my friend. Whoa. Pete Green was a fan. How did he pass away?

I don't know, man. He's an old school New York dude. Like really old school. Usual suspects too. Oh, that's right. Pete Green, let me tell you, one of the nicest human beings. Pete was old school. He's from the 70s in New York City.

Sure. So I met him in L.A. And I met him with this dude name. This guy, he was a rock. He's an underground rock dude named Harry. And he has, he's got. He's always dressed God. So he was a fan of mine.

So we would hang out. And Pete Green would come around. And he goes, hey, man, I'm a big fan, man. I love you. stuff, man. I'm going to come see you, man. I'm come see you. So one day he comes and sees me. He introduced me to his dad, too. He used

me his father, the whole night. And then one day he comes to the laugh factory. It's fucking great. He comes. He goes, what time are you going on? That's what I'm going to be there. He doesn't fucking see no one else. He walks in leather jacket, just fucking comes in walk. After I'm done, he goes, yo,

that was fucking funny. I'll see you later. Walks out. Bad ass. Damn. Yeah, he was, that's a good guy. He was a nice guy, man. And you know he's a badass. Yeah, he looks like he plays the meme. Yes, yes. Dorian in the mask.

Yeah. Yeah, his face is so like, he's so, but he was, he passed away, rest in peace. Yeah, he was, he was cool as fuck. Undetermined death. That's a badass way to that's how I want to go out. Yeah. Undetermined. I want to go out determined.

But it's like when they say, we're a suicide. Whereabouts unknown? That's a good one. Yeah. Well, yeah. So, yeah, so, oh, yeah. Anyway, the Trump thing, Adam's like, hey, man, we need to do Trump and Biden. We need to do Trump, Biden, dude, you got to come do it.

I said, all right, it's our first time. Hey, fuck it. He said, your Trump is, come on, man. Shit's crazy. So I said, all right, we go over there, we do it. You know, I go, here we go. I'm not going to lie. That shit was funny as Adam was funny as fuck.

He's a pro, man. Why? An improviser. Yo, he had, you know, he had teleprompter. Were you two guys who were. I guess Adam was on Mad TV for a minute. But you were two guys that could have been on SNL

and it just never went that just never went that just never went. But you made your own shit, both of you. Yeah, I said, why not turn the phone on yourself? I just during COVID, I just took advantage. I was like, we don't have a fucking choice. Were you ever close to SNL? Did you guys tell you about my audition?

Uh-oh, yeah. Get in there. I know this is a sore subject. No, I'm not, I don't it's not like, it's not a body blow anymore. Okay. He used to be like, like, like,

y-h-h-a-kotty, like, like, ha-h-h-h-h-h- You know, when they, you know, the Asians would die

in those movies, oh, what about S-N-Hoy? I remember, this is when I knew it was getting crazy. When Dane Cook, this is when Dane was in

in his really, that era of, when he was really, like, unbearable. This is not, me knocking him. He's all right now. But I knew Dane, I knew Dane when he was

at the cellar, man, when he come to sell her from Boston and be like, yeah, you know. Right. And I knew him when he was with Barry Cats. Right. Come in, what's up, bro? That type of shit. And so I So when he got to a certain

level, because he was one of the, was that my name? I believe it is. You're blowing up. No, no, that's, I needed to silence. Dane Cook going, shut the fuck up, dude. He was like, this dude, I heard you, bro. I got this new film. No, I remember we did the half hour in the tank top. I'm like, he didn't have one friend be like, mm-mm.

I ain't going to lie, though. She was funny, though. It was so crazy. But the tank top was so bold. It was so, remember he went to the camera? No, it was a good half hour. It was so, I was like, who is this? No, no, it was different for sure. Yeah, that was great. Yeah, that was he made me laugh. I think sleeves are a good idea for a special. Yeah, just my opinion. He was really funny and dope as hell. And I give him his promise, but it was a period where He didn't really speak to a lot of us anymore. Oh, wow. Even though he took that tour with Goldman and Bobby.

And those are the guys he came up with. You know, Al Del Benny? Oh, yeah. It was Al Del Benny and the Monkeys. That was an improv group in Boston. It was Robert Kelly, Al Del Betty, Dane Cook. It was all, and they were all together in Boston. And so after he got to a certain level, I mean, and this is not me not

not contained at all. I just noticed they weren't speaking. with each other. It just wasn't, you know, it is what it is, but what the fuck was I going to say? Oh, yeah. I remember he told me, he goes, he goes, I don't understand why you're on an SNO. That was like, but even he said it again, 20 years later. But he even said it.

And, you know, and he's a guy that could do a lot of stuff too, but yeah, I've been asked that and I go, yeah, I tried, I tried out. Did I tell you the audition? Yeah, but it's a great story. Norton's, I was on Norton's podcast last, two weeks ago, we're gonna have, and I auditioned for it. And it was me, Kevin James. Wow.

Like a. Melissa Villasignor went three times. Three times. She, I knew I worked with her in Montreal. She tried out three times. Because in the business, I always find that to be the craziest thing. Like when they say, oh, I don't want this pilot. But it's like, you made it to like so, you're so far in the line.

Yeah. And then they say, no. It's like, how about a rewrite again? Yeah. If I made it to like second, if I made it to like callbacks, then you might have a reason to go, you know what? Let me come back.

And I just took it and started, I started doing sketches with like King Batch and all these big creators and shit, these social media creators.

I just said, let me get out of my own way and just do it with these guys and fuck it. And it worked. It fucking worked. You got to get out of your own ego, man. You got to get, if things aren't happening because I wasn't. We didn't get better. What? You didn't get better. No, I was like, don't get better, get better. So that's from Wallo.

Just really goofy. He's just great. Very original. He's one of my favorites. And so, yeah, so after that, when the DVD came out, there's a, you know, there's a director's, like, commentary. Yeah. So Ben Stiller is talking about me and Judah saying that we were roommates.

Hey, those guys are roommates, you know. I love what they did. their roommate. So we were like, all right. We weren't roommates. But he hooked, I hooked, I'm glad he got in. That's the type of shit I do though. That's great.

And I go, hey, you got any other parts for people? We were talking about how because apparently they don't want callbacks and movies anymore. Like that's the thing that people can't pay attention. But Zoolander has a classic callback with Blue Steel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For attention now. They don't want, because people are on their phone just like, well, then you're just making a shittier movie. How sad is that?

That's why no one's going to see. these movies. That's why these comedies are trash. Trash. That's why people rather watch Golden Girls than a lot of this fuck shit that's on. Yeah. Because when you watch, when I watch all in the family, sometimes I'll watch old and I go, God damn, this was brilliant. Yeah. Carol O'Connor, the levels that he took bigotry to. I know. And you still liked them. You loved him. Yeah. That's just serious, serious fucking skills. Yeah. And he, in his interview, I watch a lot of old interviews. He goes, you know, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. I I'm not really, I'm not like that.

I'm not that guy. But I'm glad people, but I wanted people to make sure they separated me from that because I'm not that. I'm not a bigot like that. Yeah, thank God. He was like, I'm actually that racist. That day when he goes, Jesus, he did it, the college you're coming again. What are you?

You can't say. It's cold. Oh, come on, idiots. You know, that just phenomenal. It's a brilliant show. That's one thing I think we've lost. Like, you know, people are like, oh, crowds are so sensitive. Oh, we need to bring that back.

We need to bring back the. idea that you can say something and not mean it. That's where people have lost. We've lost that. We need to bring back racial shit. Yes. Done smartly. Not hacky, because there's hacky racial shit. Of course. You ever see hacky, right? You go, can you, even though it's like, I know it's racist, but

can you do it better? Can you update your race? It's like, it's like cheap violence. It's like, earn it, like, if you're going to do something racial, do it in a funny, like there's a Daniel Tosh joke that I love, and I did a lot of shows with Daniel Tosh. Love Tush. He don't talk to everybody. No. He talked to me, though.

Tosh doing the show, what happened with that? Tosh is awesome. He's a tough not to crack. What I look at, what I like about him, he's family guy, he just goes about his business. He always showed me, like, I always talk to him, you know? And he goes, something about those guys that don't talk to me, always talk to me. A tell, the tell would call me, and be like, he's like, I got a line for you. Got a line for my black friend.

He would give me punch, like punchups. Hell yeah. Oh, yeah. Tell a lot of shit like that for me. He's the man. You know what I mean? But it's nice when you get respected by these certain people. I don't ask for it.

I just, you know. But Tosh did a joke about black people, which is so great. He goes, he goes, you know, I'm going to tell you, black people, you guys, you guys are the most talented. You're fucking the best. You're smart. You're innovative. I mean, Jesus Christ, you guys are the trendsetters. The slavery thing, I don't know how we got away with that.

The slavery thing. How do we pull that? How did we put? So good. But that's how you do it. Right. That's how you do it. Like when Louis C.K.

does the, that's how you do it. Yeah, yeah. Louis's a bit about the, like, I'm not saying white people the best, but being white is clearly the best. That's a great Louis bit. How you do it, man. It's comedy. There's still a turn.

There's a punch. There's an honesty to it and it's not cheap. It's, right. It's honesty and it's real. Put the art in it, man. Yes. Put the art in it. We also feel that he honed that joke.

Like that didn't, maybe didn't. come out perfect. And he had to figure it out and you respect that. You figure it out because it's a tight fucking situation to be in. Sure. I do racial shit. Now you don't get a chance to figure it out. That's what I'm saying. We've lost that part. I got racial shit that I want to do about white, but I want to

make it creative. Yeah. I don't want to just go, wait, but, okay, okay, we got that. But motherfuckers are here for comedy. It's not fair that I can't be Malcolm X. No, you got to be Dick Gregory or Carl or something. You know what I mean? Craft the joke.

We get it. White people, all right. That would be a funny character, though. The comic with no punchlines. You're like this. And white folks ain't shit. Good night. Give it up for my man.

Mohammed. That would be funny. And I'm just saying, I'll fuck a white girl over revenge. Peace. Give it up for my man. Yeah. My man, the one, the militant one. Yeah.

Follow me on Instagram. Yeah, man. That's all I'll tell any comic, whether or why. Even Nick DePaulo is, as funny as fuck. So funny. Such great crafted jokes. I used to be in the audience laughing. He goes, I love it with Gawfrey's in the audience.

That damn boss. I would, because I would come down to watch, because he would get so angry, but he was still so funny. He's got one of my favorite Jew jokes of all time. He goes, I was in the class when I was trying to buy a car. I called a guy up. I said, hey, I want to buy your car. The guy goes, come over. And he goes, all right, I'm going to negotiate with this guy.

I'm going to really, you know, work him down. Guy answers his door, it's a Hasidic Jew. He goes, oh, I didn't know I was dealing with a black belt. That's funny. That's how you do it. You misdirect. Different words. That's how you fucking do it, man.

Matter what your mentality is, you do it. We get the intent. The intent is to make people laugh. Put the art there. Put the art there. Don't go. Oh, man, you're sensitive. No, you're not doing the joke right.

Yeah. Not about sense. Divby. Do it, craft it. Trick us. Nick had that joke about checking into a hotel. There was a shit in his toilet. And he called the front desk.

He goes, you know, most hotels leave a mint on your pillow. You guys are really going the extra mile here. That's fucking brilliant. He's a really great comedian. And I don't like when he gets, I hate when he goes so far. Yeah. When he goes a little far sometimes. I go, dude, you were hired by Chris Rock.

Yeah. Right. Right. You know, and I was one of your. favorite guys we taught it's like no i know why why like fuck because you know because you know he has it in him so when he goes lazy right when he just opens the set like kamala harris you fucking cuck you're like no that's not the joke yeah anybody can do that yeah anybody we know you have yeah i'm with you you're so good and you're so quick and i really and i'm a fan of nick de paolo it's

sad because i go he now he's in georgia i know i know and he's just i go that's not going to help things Yeah, and Nick, you don't, you look Arabic anyway. Relax, you're kind of swarthy. Yeah, he's a guinea. Yeah, you're very olive. Right, right. Very olive-complectic. Stay out of the sun.

You better have a parasol because they're going to figure you out. It's going to color my pants. Yeah. But it says, you know, I like, I like Nick. But just to the crowds, you want to let us get there. We'll get there. Let us get there. Because I think they hear buzzwords and stuff.

We all are responsible for that. Sure. We're comedians. And people of different races come and see me. So how am I going to do this clan joke? And, you know, how am I going to do it properly? Right. You know? And I say, I say, well, I think the clan, you guys got to get better uniforms. Jesus. Are you serious? Really? A sheet? Can we go couture? I was like, I wish KKK was black. You need a gay guy. Part of it also is the crowds have gotten there. I mean, in Manhattan, they're younger.

I mean, I think we've gotten older, I guess. But also it's like they're a little younger. They're experiencing comedy for the first time. Yeah. But here's the thing, though. too, well, comedy is an older person's sport. Because when you ever do a college and then there's a kid that's from the college who's going to open up for you and they don't relate because they don't have enough experience, you have to have done that already and then you bring it back because I'm a college grad. So I know about college. So when I do college shit, they go, fuck yeah, because I know it already.

It's a weird thing. Comedy is a thing where, to me, comedy is a thing where you have to know something first, then you come back and tell it. You know what I mean? Because people your age don't, they don't respect you. They're not respecting your authority. First of all, they're just like, you know, your friend's like, yeah, my friend, he's a friend, he's starting to do comedy.

Right. And your friends are like, yeah, Brett. Woo! Yeah. It's like you're 20 and then your friends are 20 in the crowd. There's no, there's no separation of authority. Right. There's no respect of the craft.

If you're like 30-something at a college, they're like, oh shit, this guy has something over. There's a respect. I'm telling you. It's like a. A dog, audiences are like dogs, they can smell, it can smell, and it can dominate you. I remember watching Louis back, like, this is, I guess this is pre, maybe even pretty lucky Louis. Yeah, he was, uh, what was before, what was first?

Lucky Louie. Lucky Louie. Yeah, Lucky Louie. And then, uh, you know, he's talking about his kids and stuff. And you're just like, you related, you didn't relate, but like you, this to me was the funniest thing ever. Right. Even though I didn't have kids.

This is what I'm saying. Comedy is a, is an art form of experience. Sure. And, and it doesn't matter how old you are. I see old, Ted, you know, um, um, I see. Oh, God damn it. Tim Reed? No, not Tim Reed.

Shit. Oh, God. It was Titting. He did a biracial comedy duo in the 70s. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm talking about. Oh, God. Tom Dresen from Chicago.

Yeah. I grew up watching Tom Driesen on commercials in Chicago. Oh, wow. So Tom Driesen. I've been in biracial. Be careful there, buddy. No, no, by. They were the first.

It was Tim and Tom. They were to stay in the 70s. Oh, really? See them? I never heard of him. Tim Reed from a WKRP. Uh-huh. Tim Reed and they were the first, like, biracial.

He told, I sit with him all the time. Because he's from Chicago and he raised money for his, I think his sister passed away from this disease. So he had this big, big, big, um, a benefit fundraiser in Chicago. So we knew him for that. Oh, that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was on sitcoms.

He's 80-something years old now. Wow. Yeah, he came to my show in Virginia with his wife who played the second Aunt Viv on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So Tim Reed is great. He came in Saltwomen. watch my show.

And so Tom Driesen does comedy at the laugh. Open for Sinatra forever. And he's funny. But his jokes are well written. It's still funny. Yeah. But he's what, 80 maybe? Oh yeah.

But why are we still laughing? Because it's a, it's it. Comedy is a is a, is an experience thing. You have to have a little more information than the people. You know what I mean? Or as much information. That's all. about because if you have information about being a teenager, you're going to fucking make them laugh.

Right. Because they go, yeah, because it happened to me already. Exactly. I did a college once. I was talking about a shitty job I had it. They never had jobs. So I was eating shit. Then I had to be like, that guy's a virgin.

Then they're like, ah! That was my, like, ripcourt. Right. So that's where I think it comes from. You're from Nebraska originally, right? I was born in Nebraska. We were just in Omaha. I was, I think, I think, did that.

Right? I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. pushed your black ass out of it. My parents left. But Nigeria to Nebraska. Damn. That's great. My father.

Had you end up there, though? Connect flight, probably. My father was, my father was, my father was, my father was at a teacher, an educator teacher school, Dana College, which was outside of Lincoln. My father was there at, and my father used always telling me about Dana College. I said, Dana College. I was like, University of Nebraska, Coronas, what are you talking about? He's like, no, I went to a school, Dana College, blah, blah, blah.

I said, and then one day I finally did Omaha Funny Bone, funny bone, and great club. Right, and I never been in Nebraska. This was like three, four years ago. Wow. And I'm like, okay. And so I was like, oh shit, so I'm on stage having fun. And I go, you guys heard about Dana College?

Dana College. I was like, oh, shit, I thought it was bullshit. It's like, no, it's kind of defunct and it turned into Midwestern University. And I don't think they use the campus anymore. My father, this is late 60s, early 70s, dude. So I was like, so I go, and this dude goes, hey, man, I could take you to that place where your father went to school.

I could take you if you want to go. I go, yeah. So he fucking takes me. It's like a good, almost two hours. Like, Field of dreams. Build it. And they will come. And just to, oh, you got, oh, wow.

Dana, fuck, that's where my dad went. And what's really fucking crazy, oh shit. There it is. And the fact that my father coming straight from Nigeria to this fucking bumble fuck town. And imagine. Crazy. So I wouldn't be here doing a podcast or stand-up comedy if my dad didn't do this shit. I really look at it going, it fucked me up.

I go, my father came. He had a job. He had a job in Omaha, you know, washing dishes and shit to pay for school. like he would tell me the stories like I'd be so tired driving from Omaha and Lincoln you know and you're the only like black family and his next door neighbors were from India

so they were like the immigrants Oh shit. So This is your sitcom Yeah right I wouldn't be here It's like my father They were

It's like me to do a cornrose That's the title That's a good one And by the way by You're writing it? No And also my parents left from Civil War

They were trying to murder my parents' tribe. So it was called Biafra war. It's very famous. Even my old manager knew about the Biafra war. My old manager was one of the smartest men I ever met my life. Well read. He was like, yeah, Biafra war, he explained the whole thing. A little Jewish man explains the whole thing.

I go, damn. He goes to the Ebo tribe, which I am, Ebo tribe. And Eboes are also Jewish, too, by the way, just to let you in West Africa. So they have Yarmacas and they go, hello, my friend. Oh, yeah. We hire other people to fight the wars. So we are brothers, brother. That's a lot of foreskin.

So, yeah, they came from war. They were, you know, and my parents, they made it. And then Chicago, I don't know anything about Nebraska. My brother's born in Chicago, me, my sister's born in Nigeria. So it was one of those things. Very immigrity. Hell yeah. And I would not be here doing any of this shit if it weren't for them.

Yeah. Damn. Why did he pick Nebraska? Just to school because he had a scholarship. Oh, right. Like he had a scholarship. My father was an educator in Chicago for 45 years. Wow. Yeah, yeah.

My mother was an OB-guining nurse. She met in Nigeria. Wow. Yeah, man. Was he? Let's hear your life story. Talk that. Well, my dad.

Black Panther. Then I became Tachala. Go ahead. It's unbelievable. No, I can't stop that. You can't? I wish I could. Gary's dad was a con man.

Yeah, it was an interesting stuff. Yeah, yeah, it was a legit con man, yeah. Yeah. So he got a real comic? You were a real comic? Yeah, no, he opened up. He was a con man, really? Yeah, he opened up this college called Dana College.

Yeah. People are from the Lego tribe. So wait, wait, wait, was he really a con man? Yeah, everything he did was just a con. So he had different businesses that, you had. You were all like fake businesses or businesses that he could just, like, extort money from. That's awesome. So one was like a pay phone business, Gary Viter.

World's greatest dad. Was he on American greed? Number one dad. Was he ever on American greed? No, never on that. You know Stacy Keach, right? Oh, yeah, the host. Next on American Grew.

My dad stayed off the radar, but we did, like, I did scams with him as well. Like Michael George? Yeah, I met Michael Jordan. He met everybody. That's him with him. We did an old scam that we ran together where he said that it worked for Sports Illustrated for kids. Really? Yeah, I went to the garden free for like four years straight.

That is amazing. Who does it mean? Lemieux? Gretsky? Met Lemieux? I didn't mean Greetsky, but Elway? Oh, fucking bad. Look at that pick with Jordan. You met Michael Jordan. Yeah, interviewed Michael Jordan. He thought I went to on the street for kids.

Richard Geer. He's double nickel gear. He stuck the gerbil up your ass. Yeah, yeah, that's real close. That's my dad. That's my dad. Where's your dad? So we didn't talk for 24 years. in a spot where's your dad right there was you premium oh that's your father

yeah we didn't talk for 24 years didn't he I didn't 20 you got to meet Jordan how you're not gonna talk to him because he was a bad guy my dad my dad my dad oh how did I talk to my dad yeah what was there my dad was just full of shit all the time really mom broke up but you got to see yeah the classic brook call yo brocall you don't worry he never pronounced his L's let's hear it oh well he's oh Tom broke all oh yeah he's all kind of gargled his L

He had a speech impediment. You are, you are, you, you notice things as an impression. That's what I'm doing by Sam Elliott. That's good. I play the same rules all the time. One good thing about the Trump administration, you get the impressions. You get the, and guess what? You know, they have a White House account, right?

So they, they're talking about locking the borders. So there's a scene in Soulplane where I lock this, our door, it's a ghetto-ass airplane. So I have all these locks on the pocket door. They used it as a meme on the White House account. Shut up. And at the end I go, this motherfucker is locked. And they have it for their border. Holy hell.

But we don't realize they're using a son of an immigrant. They're like, they don't realize what this old man guy. Can you believe it? Can you believe it? Can you believe it? I love So Plain. What a great house is a great house. I love a show plain.

I love a nice little poll. A nice little strip pole from Malania. That's where I met it, I think. That's where I met it. You had a young Kevin Harton, that. Yeah, Kevin, Method Man, Tom Arnold. Wow. Yeah.

We had a bunch of motherfuckers on there, Monique. There you go. We had Lonnie Love. Oh, wow. D.L. Hugley, John Wetherspoon. Jesus Christ. He was action-packed. It should be so plain, too.

I think we should do another one just for shit to give him. John Wetherspoon, man. Was he the man? He was awesome. He was a good dude. His son, John Witherspoon Jr. He can do it,

you know, is a comic. No, I didn't know that. And it doesn't look like him at all. But he's also, that's David Letterman's godson.

What? That's his, he's called. Oh, is that me and Dr. Yeah, that's his call. Oh,

that's at 65 million. Oh. Still rising. What, the Dr. Dre? The Dr. Dre video I did at his house. Damn,

65 million. Yeah. These guys are only at 6 million. But at the Holocaust. Nice. That was a stretch. Six million doggy fresh. You're on.

If it takes you a second to get it, it's a Jew joke. Just take the jump. Yeah, because you've got to think about laughing first. Well, hey, it's a slow burn. You got to make sure who's around. That's another. Yeah, see? Oh, that's, see, that's comedy.

That's like a Zucker joke. This motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. It's for the White House shit. Damn. That's badass. They gotta get residuals for that. I don't know.

That's like a, I'm a meme now. That happened to Theo Vaughn apparently. The deal. Because didn't he do like a get the fuck out to a guy. You're getting deported. And they used it. No, no, he tweeted at him. Well, he does it with bands too.

He'll use a band to come out and the band's like, no, fuck you. I don't like you. Yeah, but how do you sue America? What do you even like, how do you even say about that? He can't sue trial. He's the sue king. But he has, he did 50. He sent to many men.

Wish death on me. That song does go pretty hard. He comes out, they do wish death. I love 50. 50, Chen. I think he's great. 50's like, you gotta stop doing it.

He's like, that's my opener. 50's like, yo, it's a business, you know? I think Finney is a truck guy. No, I think he said he had to pay him to use it, though. Oh, all right. I think it's money for 50. I don't think it's like his philosophy. I think it's just tax certain.

Yeah, man. Get on. All this stuff. I mean, here's the, Yeah, you got, Bill Vaughn. Put in the Deporte, the ICE video. Oh, they took it down.

That was nice. Oh, they took it down. Good. All this stuff. Eminem suing meta. It's like 200 million for using his music in reels. Oh.

Oh, wow. Yeah, so, but I mean, I don't know where it stands. Good. He's like Zuckerberg, no. Don't touch my shit. I hate meta. It's like, people dub our comedy, too.

All the time. But no one gives the fuck about that. Eminem might, he might, you know. Might have a chance. Spotify. Once Spotify happened, though, it's like. They got, they ruined a lot of artists' lives, man. Now everybody's dusting off their shoes.

They have to do live shit now. Yeah, but then look what happened when live shit. Live Nation comes in and they're fucking on tickets. And like, and now what's even crazier is when you buy tickets for something, it'll say like, it'll be like a $50 ticket and it says $90 up front. So it used to be $50 and the fees came, but now you're trying to sell tickets and they're like, I'm not paying fucking $9. There's going to be fees on top.

Yeah. Then they yell at you. Like we did it. Dude, these are, it's not, it's, oh my God, I'm doing clubs again right now just to warm up for this special. And it's so easy to sell tickets and clubs. Yeah. Because you're not dealing with all the bullshit.

Oh, good point. The theaters, you just don't. They jack up the fucking prices. I thought the theater shit was cool. Man, fuck that house nut. I was like, what the fuck is a house nut? You got to pay a house fee. Then you got to pay this fucking, what is it?

The union motherfucker. Oh. Those guys. I didn't know there were so many feet. I was like, what in the fuck this, man? You have to do two shows just to make a profit. Let me get to the Chucklehut. Fuck you.

Yeah. But even though you got to do a couple more shows, you get all the money, man. And the reps. I like doing the reps. I like doing the reps. See, the reps are so, people are so caught up in one and out. I go, you need to do. You got to run that hour, man.

Run it a lot of times. And I've got endless energy, though. You are fucking, you're like legendary for that, I feel like. That's eBay. Look at this guy. He's tired just sitting here. I know. I enjoy, because you know why, you all are guys very prolific.

You're always writing new shit. You guys are very prolific. I am always doing new shit. You got to. I'm not, I don't, I don't, I'm not strangled by a fucking act. I don't have, like, one act I do all the time because I'd smash myself in the head. Sure. But I have so much shit that I'll mix it up.

Even I'll pull an old one out. It depends on the crowd. But I enjoy going, oh, I got all this other shit. I can't wait to do it. Do you ever forget, like, two shows in the same night that you did something on that show that you're not like. Sometimes, but I'll try to kind of, you know, I'll go, okay, I'll kind of make this thematic a little. Go, I'll talk about this shit. Women and blah, damn it, I'll do that.

And this is the other one I'll do about the, you know, technology. And then it's sort of so I can kind of not go, did I say it already? Right. You know what I mean? Because it can get that way. Well, I do clubs all the time now. And I go, who was here? You know, who's just here?

And they go, we had God for here. He did five shows, different hour every show. Which is insane. It's insane. Yeah, I just... And the staff enjoys it. Yeah. Oh, no, but you know what?

Yeah, exactly. You're a set for the fifth time in a row. By the end of the weekend, the mouth and his punch lines. I know. But the staff will tell me, they go, oh, we're, like, we, every time you come, we always, all the staff comes out and sees you and watches you because he goes, is he going to do the same thing? No. I have people repeating.

They come back and do it. No, they'll come back for another show, go, you did the whole totally different. I go, I just for myself. It was okay That's not normal though I had a Michael Jordan moment Because I was like Because I saw somebody

Your dad was hit by a car No No my friend There was a guy One of these waiters And we were talking right You know how sometimes You know certain waiters you go

They go yo you're back What's up Yeah So he goes I saw I think I saw him Watching He was watching a comic

I came on a day before Before my show And he was watching A comic They had a one-nighter and he goes, this guy does the same fucking shit all the time. And he literally goes, mouthing, he was literally lip-sicking the guy. I was like, I don't ever want a motherfucker to have the privilege of doing that to me.

Right, right. So I motivated myself to go, all right, I'm going to try to do something new, all the goddamn. Yeah. Because I want people to go, fuck, I thought he was going to do that. It was just my own to make me work harder. Yes. I don't want the privilege of somebody saying, you know, he does the same. Unless like you're working your hours.

or special that's different. Sure, sure. Even when I have to do that, I hate it. I want to just go, I want to do something new, but I have to do it. Yeah. But I don't want to, it's just my own way to keep me making new stuff. Yeah.

My own little, you know how Jordan would take something personal? Oh, I don't like the way he stepped on my shoes, man. All right, I'm going to score 50. Right. Or he goes, I don't like the way he shook my hand. All right. I'm a dunk on this bitch. You know, I do my own little to get me to, oh, let me flip.

Yeah. I'll do the opposite. I'll be like, I'm going to do a new bin, and then I just push you out. Yeah, you can't, though. I mean, you do, there's only so much, like, I mean, you know, I feel the way I can't do. You bookend it. You book in. Yeah, I can only do so much new.

You got to go in. You got to just fucking take that shit. Learn the, how long have you been doing, Kong? Two years. No. 18 years. Oh, you should have said two. I just scared at 18 years.

I'm scared. I'm scared. I'll say a new bit. I'm afraid. I don't know what he's going to do. It's only so much new I can. I'm so tired of you. I don't have to do.

I didn't invent ice hockey. Another thing about those theaters is they charge for merch. Oh, yeah, they take a percentage. 20%. I had to ship it here and to sell. They made it so we have to tour endlessly, and I don't mind it. I like it. But then taking a piece of every fucking shirt.

Maybe if you're making so much money where you're not noticing the take, but that shit annoys it annoys. me. I was like, people are doing theaters because of the prestige. I get it. But fuck that. You're at the whatever funny bone and you're making, yo, dough. You just added a couple of shows but you're making your money, man. And you're

getting the reps in. You need those reps. You need them. Fuck that. You need that. You really need those reps, man. Boxing and comedy are parallel. You've got to hit the bag. You got to. You have to. You will fuck up. Like, you ever see when Tyson's... We all brain damage? Yeah, you'd be like this.

The problem is, yeah. It's the truth. Little, little things count. The little things in comedy count. The little shit affects it. It's weird. It's really, it's one of those art forms that you can't skip steps. You can't.

Well, I think anybody, if you're on a theater run, you did want to, if you can't, like, run it a little bit in a club before as much as possible. Always, always do it in a more intimate. A lot of these theater acts, they're like just starting like, oh, here's the hour. Now there's, they're putting in the theater. But you see it, though. Completely. It's hard to work out in a theater. It is.

You cannot hide. Comedy will show your ass, man. If you fake, you can't fake it. They go, I was okay. Yeah. It was okay. Right. But you see a guy like a tell do 30s to go,

hot cross buns and you're fucking dying laughing. I know. Because he's always on stage. And he's got a bit about the ice shooting. He's got a bit about Maduro. He's got a bit about that. He's like, how does he have all his new shit? Because he's with me at one in the morning.

He's always there on stage. Yeah. And you don't, it doesn't miss you. He's doing the war. You have to. It's unfortunate. Yeah. Comedy doesn't let you hide.

No, he said that mic will be right back. This is the funny lever. All those nuances happened. Of course. On the stage, you got to, it doesn't come with, I'm just going to do it. Comedy will always knock you to fuck back down. When you got to do a new hour, look how you got to go and work it again. That's the respect you have.

You can't just go, I got a new hour. Let me just go. Nope, you're like, let me go, go small, then go big. It's like fighters, when they go to, when they're in Vegas, they do the big fights. But guess where they got to go? They got to show up at Wild Card, Jim. You know Wild Card? Wildcard is Freddie Roaches.

Reddy Roaches who trained Paci-Oil and all those guys. Way better than Freddie Roman's, Jim. Ready, Robbins. Hey! Is that a punch? but I would go there with Adam Hunter Oh I don't have Adam You know Adam's MMA and shit

Yeah Oh wow Adam kicked motherfuckers asses Adam beat up one of these comments I'm not going to say his name But Adam fucked the comic up Real nice It was Josh Blue

He was normal before Josh blocked a couple And Brad Williams But yeah There was some comic that kind of like Was accusing Adam of stealing Adam is so his own kind of comic He don't steal

He has these one-liners. He doesn't steal anybody's shit. And the dude, like, literally socked him at the ha-ha club in L.A. Like, punched him. Like, Adam had his laptop with him, and the guy clocked him, like, snuck him one. And Adam, like, just put him in a fucking jujitsu. Boom, boom. Called me.

Say, yeah, I go, what's up? He called me. He said, yeah, I just finished fucking up, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So what happened? He said, so I. I put him out, almost choked him out, choked him out, beat the shit out.

I murdered him. I got to stay with you for a few weeks. He goes, I didn't know he couldn't fight. He's a comedian. I didn't know he didn't, because Adam's always trained. He was an all-state wrestler in Massachusetts. Oh, boy. Freestyle wrestling.

Oh, scary. And Adam is like, oh, Jewish boy, but he gets down. Too bad. He didn't host the Oscars. How great with Adam. It will Smith? Not so fresh now, huh? Hand cock sucked

Get your hand out of my mouth Yeah man So fuck what I was I talking about But anyway Adam Hunter Yeah the boxing Oh boxing But yeah when you go to see

When I would go to Wildcard You see Matthew McConaughey Doing boxing Oh yeah you see a lot of people But it was a small little Humble Gym over a laundromat But all the greatest boxers Come and work

I would watch Pacquiao like Damn Their mat time is our stage time Right They never show up as out of shape as we do with a new hour. What you say? They never show up as out of shape for fighting as we do with a new hour. Right, right, right.

No, but when you, it's like, I love to do the lounge. Yeah, that black. Comedy is an intimate art form. We do the big shit, so we, the revenue-wise, but we like that small shit. We like it. Oh, love it. Revenue-wise, fuck, no. Let me go do, let me go do Mars.

I'm going to be, let me go do this stadium. It sucks doing those. It's just for the revenue. Sure. But as far as the art, it suffers. It does. I wish, I mean, if you could do it, you do it. But it suffers, though.

Yeah, I agree. But when you're doing a small, it's the greatest shit. It's like jazz players don't want to do big-ass fucking, you know, festivals. They want to play in a small. Yeah. But money-wise, yeah, but I don't want to take out the integrity of the art. You have to go small. And when you're staring, you can kill in a theater because there's so many people, like,

But then when you're staring at people at a funny bone and they're four feet away, you're like, this isn't hitting. Because in a theater, you get that big pop, so you feel like you're killing. But you've got those people right on your toes. You're like, I'm kind of bombing here. Also, an arena, it's like, I mean, like, not to this is like first world problems. But if you do

a few, they're all the same, really. It's right. You're all kind of, like, then nothing's like that different. No, I play small. Because when you do enough clubs, you play like you're in a club, except you're aware that there's more people, but you don't really worry about that you still worry about

like here you play small still kind of you know what I mean because you already know it's rafters all right fuck them if it hits it hits it'll flow that's that's the psychology I have when's your new special coming out oh oh you're a new one

what? January 14th in theaters nationwide shut up I'm not lying theaters you're doing the prior shit it's called it's called it's called Rebel with a Cause and we my producer got it in theaters

what listen it's amc alamo draft house uh synopolis cinemark and movie grill and we've sold a really good amount of surprise this is great it was 50 000 I met 40 something thousand

holy moly I never did this before because I didn't get approached by Netflix wow that is crazy that's crazy well you know they'll come eventually which is sad funny is I know the people there. That's weird.

But it's Rebel with the Cause and it's in AMC and we're doing a, tonight we're doing a private little screening, red carpet thing we're doing, you know, at the AMC on 42nd Street. And yeah, man. And, yeah. You filmed it at the Apollo? At the Apollo, G. Hell yeah.

That's killer. Wow. I raised the money myself. Wow. The help of Will I am from a black guy. P's. Oh, yeah. And I had another dude, some Capital Ventures guy. He was just a fan and he gave me money for it too. You know what I mean? Yeah. Looks awesome. Which was, which was, which was fantastic. And yeah, and go fund me. My fans are like, why don't you raise money, man? Fuck that, man. I can't wait. We could send you money. And then Dante set it up. And I had money from there, money from there. Well, I am just goes, dude, I want to give you some money.

Oh, this is going to blow you up. I can tell. I can feel it. And I'm going to go to the theater just to get you back. I'm going to talk. And you have four more hours. You have four more hours.

And so every, every cinema's a different hour. There's a seven o'clock. That's insane that Netflix doesn't like, that's your following is huge. That's crazy. Man, dude, that's kind of story of my, and it's not an old poor me.

Story of my kind of life. Is it eventually going to end up on YouTube or something? Or something. But right now, because 800-pound gorilla's like, we want to, we're not even doing that. It's just theater release. I was like, what? Because here's the thing. The fact that the theaters aren't really.

What they used to be? Right. So guess what? They need content, man. Oh. My producer, for Nago, I go, what? Theaters? He goes, yeah.

It's not as hard as you think because they're like really struggling for good content. Yeah. So, yeah, I was able to read. And they even increase it. It was 200 now. It's 400-something theaters. Wow. So, yeah, we got it for this day. And if it does, well, we'll just keep it, we'll keep it flowing.

But from there, we're going to strategize. So we're doing it differently. It's just like Ali Sadiq and his YouTube. He's killing it. I'm very impressed. I mean, what, Ari Shafir's Jew went to kill. Oh, yeah. And the numbers.

Nice to see Jew and millions together, and it's not a bad thing. There you go. And, you know, the numbers. on YouTube are killing all the other Netflix. Oh, 100%. Like the stats are there. It's just that it's the labeling

Netflix, but a lot of times people's specials are just floating. Now let's say after this goes theaters, it does well, let's say Netflix goes, we keep hearing about this special, we'd like it, but the number is low. Would you go with it or would you go, fuck you? I want a lot of money. Yeah, I'd be like, can I get this depending?

Okay. Let me get, yeah, fuck that. You ignored me anyway. Right. Yeah, good point. Because I heard they're not really giving out a lot. No, they're not. So, hey, man, my, I don't know what you guys is following out.

My following is pretty good. I mean, I'm two and a half mill. Whoa. That's crazy. It's legitimate. You're killing them, and you built it yourself. I built it myself. And they cut my other account.

They shut my own. Oh, really? Why? I had to rebuild it. Dan, just for being offensive? What is offensive now? I don't know. They block guns flags.

Yeah, I had weird, like, if I was like, what that wasn't, I could have, you fucking bitchy, it was weird stuff. Like, I was like, what? And then you try to appeal it, they don't answer. Yes, yes. That's what's scary is that, yeah, you're, you know, say you don't go the Netflix route, is that you could just get shut down somehow and that's out of your control. Yeah, it's like, it's scary.

Obviously, everything, you know, it's a lot. The one thing Netflix has, other than like the prestige is that you can just say whatever. Yeah, they're open. That's the one thing. So, but. If you're not getting that, you go, I'm going to, we do it our own way, you know. And Shaq, I had people give me like shoutouts. Shack gave me shout out.

ASAP Rocky is a big fan of my. What the fuck. ASAP. You can go to my Instagram and watch my ASAP. I didn't show you any of this. No, no. You haven't been here in a minute, but I feel like I was here. I was just, okay, that's, that's, okay, that's ASAP.
