Is that what it is? Yeah, yeah. Essentially me picking stand-ups and doing stand-up. You're doing stand-up too? Yeah, yeah. How much time you got? I mean, I got as much time as I need. I'm probably gonna do, you know, like 10 minutes or something. Yeah, yeah. What a pro answer. I have as much as I fucking need. I'll do whatever the fuck I need. He's a survivor. Yeah like 10 minutes or something. What a pro answer. It's a great answer.

He's a survivor. That's what he is. And the thoughts that he has, number one, are black. That's number one. Number two, he's good at strategy. Black thought strategy. Because I've never beaten a black person in chess. Have you ever played chess? No. I don't know how to play it. because I've never beaten a black person in chess. Do you know that? How many black people do you play?

Have you ever played chess? No. I don't know how to play it, but I never won. So, thank you. Even he knows you definitely can't play chess. I can fucking play chess, bro. Really?

Name some of the pieces. Name any of the pieces. You want to challenge me? I'm doing it right now I'm going to do it for everyone else Here, right? Pawn Right?

Rook Rook Okay Bishop dog in your face, right? Knight King, queen That's all there is And then the little squares

That's not a thing That's not a player That's not a player That's part of the board That's the little squares. That's not a thing. That's not a player. That's not a player. That's part of the board. That's the ground. All right, so you played. You did your thing, yellow. Thank you, black.

This is going to get demonetized immediately on YouTube. So here's what I want to start off asking this, because I'm so interested. Look, you work in the world of comedy, right? You guys are on The Tonight Show, which is fucking unbelievable. I remember when I heard you guys were going to be on The Tonight Show and it blew my mind because it was like the final revolution for me in comedy and music that I love meeting. Because for years, like house bands of late night shows, you were like, okay, it's fucking

a couple of dudes. I mean, even though very talented musicians, but like to have you guys to me me, like led like fucking the pinnacle of legendary hip hop gods to me. I was like, I get to watch that shit and comedy. I mean, I just, to me it was like the bridging of the future. And this is another example because like now you're in the standup game. What made like, was that the impetus? Cause you're like, I want to do it because I'm around it all the time and I'm, um, yeah, it just happened, you know, in a real organic sort of way.

It was like, I'm around the shit really all the time. And even when we're not on tonight's show, just in the roots, we're all a group of comedians. And there's always just an ongoing running joke. So yeah, I thought, why not try and, you know, flex my comedic muscle? I mean, it's not like I don't really write material. I just talk about my life as a joke. Yeah, you and Bobby are the same comedian.

You know? Yeah. His life is also a joke. Yeah, I mean, I just come out and, you know, I just tell some stories. Yeah. Is anybody, who's the funniest member of The Roots? Me.

But who's second to you though? If you're going to be honest, who can put up their competition? Mark, who plays bass in The Roots, he's super funny. Stro, he plays like a drum machine. Everyone in The Roots really is. So you're telling me Quest is not funny at all? Quest is the least funny.

I mean, I'm just being brutal. Why do you think, what makes him the least funny? Because he seems like he, you know, I'm just being brutal. Why do you think, what makes him the least funny? Because he seems like he's comedically aware. He has great timing. One would think,

but, you know, not so much. Not a fact. I'm not going to, you know, I mean, he's all right, but everyone else is just funnier.

Okay. All right. I appreciate that. Did you, when you, like when you guys were starting together in South Philly

in the house, do you want more? the house y'all do you want more? does anybody want more? do you want more? too many whites in here for that I won't talk any of that stuff anymore I just realize 90% of people in here are just like I have no idea what he's talking about no I mean yeah you gotta educate the people yeah they should

who knows the history and the discography of the roots? you do right there this young lady yes you do does anybody in the front know? you don't know these guys? Yeah, okay, you do. Who here has heard rap music before? Okay. A lot of French Canadians.

Yeah, a lot of French Canadians. I don't know if they like... Is there a famous French Canadian rapper? Is there? No? Okay, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, getting my poutine on every day. Yeah, there's nothing there really, no material.

Every day I'm hustling. Every day I will be hustling to the store. No, it's got to go. There's nothing there really. No material. Every day I'm hustling. Every day I will be hustling to the store. No, it's got to go. That's it. It's not going to work. So now that you're doing stand-up,

would you ever do a special? Would that be some shit that you would do? Yeah, yeah. I would do a special. You would? Yeah? If Netflix was like,

we want to do a fucking special. Yeah, for sure. Would you have the group with you or no? No, I don't think I would. I think, you know, I want to just keep a separation of church and state. You know what I mean?

Yeah. When I'm with The Roots, I feel like it's, you know, we joke a lot amongst ourselves, but what we do as entertainers, as musicians, is serious. Right, right. I don't want to. You don't want to break that down. But then, again, I say it's serious when we're, you know, The Roots, but when we're on The Tonight Show, I'm dressed, I could wear cat ears.

I had cat ears on maybe two, three days ago. Yeah, they make you do some weird shit on that show. There's no doubt. Yeah, they make me do some weird shit. Big time. Bobby. Bobby. I'm here.

I'm here. When he's not, he doesn't, you have to keep him. No, no, you don't. Here's what it is, though. Can I say something? Yeah, say everything. This is what it is. I say that a lot. He said, black thought.

Tariq, one of the things that I wanted to ask you. That's why, though. What? But that's why the fuck I didn't say anything. No, I want you to say something now. I want you to get the information about black thought. Stop touching it. I don't want to interrupt it.

So that's why I'm doing it now. Okay. No, no, no, don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. What is he doing? Why did they do that? But say what you wanted to say. Why did you do that?

I mean, not they. That's what black people do. Calm down, calm down. I don't know why he did that. That's not what I meant. I said, why are you doing it now? I'm just taking my jacket off. Yeah, that's a great jacket, don't know why I did it. That's not what I meant. I said, why are you doing it now? I'm just taking my jacket off. That's a great jacket, by the way.

I like it. Thank you. You're welcome. Bobby. Yes? Bobby, what's your connection to hip-hop music? I have a lot. Well, go ahead.

Well, I started off in the 80s, right? Here's the thing. I grew up in Green Valley, in Poway, which is a lot of white people. San Diego. San Diego, yes. They don't know what Pow Poway, which is a lot of white people. San Diego. San Diego, yes. They don't know what Poway is, yeah. A lot of white people, you know. Can I touch you?

Is that weird? No, no. Okay, okay. Can I be honest? I think it felt weird for me. No, it's not weird. No, you can't touch me. I can't touch you.

Thank you, no. Okay. And I apologize then. Okay? Black thoughts? Okay, good. This episode will be called Black Thought, Yellow Thought, Go to War, live. Yeah. Listen.

Explain. I don't know where you're... Hip-hop. My brother, Steve, some people know who Stevie Weeby is, right? Yeah, we know Stevie Weeby. He's my brother! Thank you! Shut the fuck up, dude. I'm fucking tired of your shit, dude. When I came up here, you started giving me

Sit down don't be so threatening man Canadians they don't deal with that shit up here It's so funny. Usually when people's pants are falling down, they pull them up a little bit. You just gave yours an extra touch. Wait, is my pants down? No, Bobby.

Is it down? Don't. I'll go full force if you want me to. You think I'm fucking around here in Montreal? I am not fucking around in Montreal. I have a fucking around on my trail. I have a statement to make. And my statement is this, okay? You can't bring me down!

Alright? I'm going to fight the oppression. So we'll be right back. And when we come back, maybe we'll get this hip-hop story that we've been waiting for for five fucking minutes. My brother Steve is a hip-hop artist. He's very good at rapping. He has Monk Cheese and a band called hip hop artist. Yes. He's very good at rapping, right? So, yeah, Monk G's in a band called Monk G. Anyway, but I was always like punk rock back in the day.

You know, I got the Sex Pistols album and the Clash and stuff like that growing up. But my brother made me listen to Low End Theory. Yes, Tribe Called Clowns. Great album, right? A lot of De La Soul. Soul. De La Soul. De La Soul was? A lot of De La Soul. Soul? De La Soul. De La Soul was the Asian version of De La Soul.

We are De La Soul. I fucking hate you so much. I don't know why I do things with you. I fucking hate you. I really don't like you. I like you. Finish the story. So anyway, and then obviously the Beastie Boys.

You know, I listened to and run DMC back in the 80s and stuff like that. So that's my, you know, when Jurassic 5 came out with their album years ago, I got that. You like that? I did back then, yeah. They're a good group, yeah. And then that's it, though. I don't know much. In here, we pour whiskey.

He's said it fucking nine times. You know, I like how you say the album like we have one record. Yeah, we got it. Thank you. Were you kidding that I can't touch you? No, he doesn't like you touching him. But that's not sexual. We've had this conversation many nights. You can't touch you? No, he doesn't like you touching him. But that's not sexual. We've had this conversation many nights.

You can't just touch everybody. Listen, we're trying to connect as human beings, right? New rule. But we're a part of the same species. Right, black thoughts? Raise your hand. We're all the same people. That's basically what I'm saying.

We're part of the same family. We're thoughts. Yeah, you're both thoughts. Oh, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, sorry. So you touching me that way is almost incestuous. Yeah, that's your brother.

Yeah, it's incest-style. You're really thinking about it, right? Yeah, it is. Yeah. And let me tell you something. It's usually a penis when you say that, but it's like the arm, that's fine. Yeah. And let me tell you something. It's usually a penis when you say that, but it's like the arm, that's fine. Yeah. I can't wait to get a letter tomorrow morning from his crew being like,

that was the most disrespectful fucked up thing on earth. And you let that little Asian man touch my client. It's all good, man. ICM is going to get sued by CAA from you. One of the reps. Yeah, one of the agents. You don't care. I know you don't care.

I do care. And that's not going to happen. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. What are you talking about? No one's going to get sued. Nothing's going to happen. So I don't know what you're doing. But anyway, I won't touch you,

but I'm going to go this far. I have to do this far, okay? I like you. Congratulations. I know all your success. Thank you. And I want to touch so bad. Don't!

I'm not going to. Robert! I want to touch. bad. Don't! I'm not going. Robert! I want to touch. If I touch, what will happen to me? Aside from getting sickle cell anemia. Is that racist? It is. I apologize.

That was a joke. I'm so sorry. How about this? That was a joke. I'm sorry. How about this? You're going to get SARS. Here's what's funny.

You're discounting the fact. Get this dude out of here. You're discounting the fact that he could physically just beat the shit out of you. I mean, that's just one thing he could just do. I don't think it's safe to assume that I could beat the shit out of him.

It is, very much so. Oh, you can, for sure. There's literally 100% as a guarantee. Yeah, yeah. I don't have any muscles. Ari Shaffir beat the shit out of me. I've had so many people

beat me up. You have. And you know what? When you're a comic and you get beat up all the time, eventually you look in the mirror and you go, maybe it's you. It's you.

It is. You did this. But I don't know. I honestly, I wake up and I go, I don't think I do anything wrong. But maybe I do. You do a lot wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do a lot wrong.

Like even earlier when we were in the green room and there was a lady in there. Yeah, you said something terrible. I said to Andrew, I go, if I was gay gay you'd be the last dick to suck or something like that Right. You said if we were gay you'd be the last dick I would ever suck Yeah, but how is that if other people listen to it? How is that sexual harass? Cuz that nice woman that works here doesn't we hear about sucking cock when she walks in to give us instructions about the show Check please That woman literally walked in to be like you're right. I'm gonna write the show for you guys and you're like, okay Check, please. No, I don't...

That woman literally walked in and be like, you guys, I'm going to start the show for you guys. And you're like, I wouldn't even suck your cock. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, no. Right. She doesn't need that shit. I apologize.

Where is she? She's gone. She went home. Oh, she went home? Okay. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. You know, I have to let you know...

There she is right there. I have to let you know that this guy right here, I know he seems like he's the hero of this. And everyone's like, he's sensible. This guy's a piece of shit. He's one of the worst pieces of shit you'll ever meet in life, okay? So I don't know what, you know, but anyway, I like you, though. Everything's fine.

Go back to black thoughts and then come back to black thoughts. I'm going to. Let me take care of it, okay? Jesus. Can I say a line to you that I fucking love? I mean, I feel like it's going to be weird. No, I swear to God it's not. I swear to God it's not.

Okay. Because I heard it again the other day, and I was like, look, I don't want to fucking kiss the ring more than I want to, but you have such prolific fucking lines that make me go, God damn it, I have to hear it again and again and again and again and again. Benny the Butcher, on the song with him, you said, I had to pull myself up by the bootstrap where people

stay separate like a tooth gap? Yes, I did. Oof. Like, when you write that, do you go, I'm the shit? Well, I mean, you know, I don't know know I thought that was funny the line is actually had to put my own self up by the bootstrap where everybody plays their own part yeah you know yeah play your part like you know

yeah I thought that was cute and funny it's but it's so it's so it's funny but it's so poignant and good right when you when you have moments like that when you are writing because there's a comparison I make in comedy there are times in comedy when we're writing jokes where I'll write something down and you know I want to stand up and you're like god I'm pissed and there's nobody there to celebrate but I'm like it's me bitch

I did it do you have those moments I do sometimes but I surround myself with people who are like, calm down. Right, right, right, right. Who humble you out. Yeah, they keep me super humble. And, you know, when I say, hey, these are the lines or this is the verse that, you know, I just cut or that I'm thinking about recording, you know, that wouldn't be a standout line. No, no, no.

But it stood out. Like, oh, you know, whatever. I mean, that's cool. standout line. No, no, no. But it stood out. They would be like, oh, you know, whatever. I mean, that's cool.

It stood out to me because as a comedian, whenever something's kind of funny and clever in hip hop, I always draw to it. Like in that song, Benny has a million great dope lines. Yeah. But for some reason that stuck out because it was so, I just find these little things. Oh, yeah. It's the subtle nuance. Yeah. Yeah.

That's what I do it for. Yeah. That's the beauty of what you do. Are you finding the same things when you're trying to write standup? Yeah, I am what I do it for. Yeah, that's the beauty of what you do. Are you finding the same things when you're trying to write stand-up? Yeah, I am. I am. I mean, you know, at best, like when I'm at my best, then I am able to, you know, to touch on those subtle nuances.

Have you bombed yet? Oh, man, you know, is there like wood to not go on? No. No, I've yet to bomb. Okay. I kind of want it to happen to you really bad. I don't. Just because you're one of my favorite hip-hop artists,

so badly, I want to have that on you. I bombed as a rapper. What was the worst bomb moment for you playing music? Oh, man, you know what? We were doing, some years ago, we were doing an awards show. It was a tribute to all these different artists that were being honored. And I was one of the artists chosen to honor Jay-Z.

Do you guys know Jay-Z? Do you guys have him up here? And Jay-Z had recently signed us to a record that he had just signed, The Roots. So, you know, we had like a new relationship with him. We were doing business together. And, yeah, like I had to do this tribute. We came to rehearsal earlier in the day, and I just wasn't familiar with the material

that we were doing. It was me. It was another rapper, Talib Kweli. And it was some singers. And we were all like a team in tribute. And we had all of the lyrics on teleprompters. And they were all over the stage. So I didn't need to commit any of it to memory.

And then cut to on the day, when it was time to come out and do the show, all the teleprompters went blank. And the band was still playing, and they're rocking on. And usually, Questlove is able to feed me the first line or two or say something that's going to remind me, jog my memory of what I have to say. And he's like yelling, busy yelling. But on this day in particular, he was playing inside of a plexiglass drum.

CHRIS HAYES, Oh, right. One of those casings. Yeah. CHRIS HAYES, It was like a sound barrier. So I couldn't hear anything. He was like,. He knows the songs. And he's like rapping the lyrics. And I just couldn't get it. And I asked Kweli knows the songs. And he's like, you know, rapping the lyrics.

And I just couldn't get it. And I asked Kweli. I said, yo, like, what's my line? And he's like, I'm trying to remember my shit. Get out of here. I was just like, ah. And I just bombed. And it was, I wound up, for the whole performance, just like ad-libbing.

And you know. Damn. I mean. Were you feeling it while it was happening? Because when we bomb as comics. It was an out of body experience. Yes. You leave yourself.

Yeah. I felt like I was in the audience watching myself. And you watch yourself and you're like, who is this garbage-ass dude doing my shit? Yeah, I was like, oh, man, dude is trash. And just, you know, everyone... I don't know, I'm sure in my mind it played out a lot worse than it did. I'm sure, but it was.

Yeah, it felt really terrible. What's your worst bomb, Bobby? Excuse me? What? When was your worst bomb? Sometimes you have to snap him back in. That's an Asian. She's laughing.

Where are the Asians laughing? Raise your hand if you're an Asian and laughed at that. And the De La Soul joke. My worst bomb was... I've had many bombs, but the worst one I ever had was when I got booed off a stage in front of 20,000 people in San Jose. What? Yeah.

Yeah. So I did this show with a guy named Dave Chappelle and Kat. Kat Williams? Yeah. So both brand new artists to stand up. Yes. Both of my first. Right, okay.

And I did a show with them, and who else was on it? Leslie Jones was on it. Okay. So it was 20,000 seats. Leslie went up before me. I was looking at the monitor, and she, in front of 20,000, she jumps off the stage, and there was like a little, like, 14-year-old white kid sitting there, and she's just such triumphing.

The place. Okay, I'm standing behind a wall. And it's doing this. Because the laughter is so loud. Walls are shaking. Yeah, like this, right? She's killing me. And I look at Jeff Wills, the promoter.

I go, I don't think I can do it. He's like, you're going to be fine. I'm going to eat it. And then she gets up. She's sweating, right? She's like, you're going to kill it, Bob. Right? Yeah. And so there's this long hallway. And there she gets up, she's sweating, right? She's like, you're gonna kill it, Bob, right? Yeah. And so there's this long hallway, and there's a smoke

machine, and all of us in here hear, Bobby Lee! Right? So then Seriously, I start running down this hallway, and it's like nine miles long! And I go through the smoke, and everyone's, ah, right? I go, how you doing, San Jose? Nothing. right?

And then two minutes in, I black out. No, I'm being real. And I end up in, like, a medical room. What? In the back of the stage at the facility. Did you collapse? No, apparently I had, like, I was bombing so bad that I started doing gibberish.

Shut up. Yeah, so I'm eating, and people are throwing stuff, that I started doing gibberish. Shut up. Yeah, so I'm eating and people are throwing stuff so I started going like I didn't know what my body was like do something. Yeah.

Right? So I'm sitting there and Jeff Wills my agent was there Matt Blake I don't know if he's here now but he's in town but I go, what happened?

And they go, we've never in the history of comedy ever seen a fail on that level before. You got medical attention? Yeah, because they thought I had snapped my mind, you know what I mean? And I went into a different

you know what I mean? That everything broke. I turned into Two-Face or whatever. I had an alter ego that I was going to turn into and that's what happened. But anyway, I get that. But here's the biggest fear is that night. Because you bomb, and you try to justify it by going, you're a human being. It happens.

Things happen. And just persevere. But that's not, I was in the bed like this, in my hotel room. First thought is, I'm never going to get pussy again. That's the first thing, right? I'm going to have no money, right? And then the third thing is, I can't do this anymore.

That hurt so bad. No pussy? But then the next, I had to do it again. In the same venue? Yeah, but then what I did was I switched the lineup. I followed somebody. I'm not going to say who because he's very good, but it's somebody that I know I could follow.

Ken Jeong? No. That's good. Give him a round of applause. That was a very funny joke. Very good. And the timing was good. He's a professional.

Thank you. And I like your legs, sir. They're really nice. Hey, Baba. Yeah, I never bom legs, sir. They're really nice. Hey, Bob, Bob. Yeah, I never bombed like that. That is a new level shit. That's new level shit. I had to do the worst I ever did.

I think I've talked about this before, but the worst I ever did was Joel McHale, Alonzo Bowden, myself, and a guy named Gary Veeder, who's a comic from New York, who's phenomenal. We got paid way too much money to go to Las Vegas to perform for Jim Beam Whiskey, but they got bought out by Suntory, which is a Japanese company. Do you know that?

Does anybody know that? Okay. We didn't fucking know that shit. So we go there, and I'm thinking, I can't. I was like, whiskey dudes? I'm going to have the most fucking fun with these dudes. These are going to be like good old boys laughing, chugging, talking about tits and partying. Oh, no, no, no.

I walked in an auditorium with circular dinner tables not facing us. Half of these little Japanese men not facing us. Almost no one in there spoke English. So get a bunch of comics from the United States

to come kill it in Vegas for little tiny Japanese businessmen in suits eating steak. Okay, some of them are big, too. You say little every time. Not all of them are little. What's the biggest Japanese guy? They're not fraggles.

They're little tiny men. Not sumo, not sumo. No, but sumo's different. They're not, I think they're imported sumos. I don't believe they came from Japan. Oh, God, that's crazy. Maybe you're right, but my point is this. I don't know if they from Japan. Oh, God, that's crazy. Maybe you're right. I don't know if they grow them.

Maybe you're right, but when I say this, it's that. Not every, just stop saying little because it demeans the Japanese people. Time out, time out, time out. What? I'm not saying they're little to demean their culture. I'm saying they are actually physically tiny men. Yeah, but compared to you, maybe. That's right, a normal-sized man.

Oh, that's true. I'm sorry. They were all eating fucking dinner at these tables, not normal-sized man. Oh, that's true. I'm sorry. They were all eating fucking dinner at these tables, not paying attention to us, and Joel McHale went out and worked so fucking hard on getting a couple of, like, laughs, and his face, when he walked back, I was like, how is it? And he was like, just go get the check, okay? Really?

Yeah, go get the check. Oh, my God, if he says it, it's real. He was like, just go get the check, okay? And I Yeah, go get the check. Oh, my God. If he says it, it's real. He was like, just go get the check, okay? And I knew what that meant. And I was like, you know what, Joel McHale? I'm going to fucking murder this room. I'm going to light this. They're going to put down their steak knives.

They're going to fucking turn around. I'm going to get a little tiny Japanese ovation from their little tiny hands. Hundreds of little Japanese men clapping their little tiny hands. Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay, yay. And by you laughing, you encourage this kind of behavior.

FYI. It's on you. So I told one joke and ate shit so bad that I could hear a man steak knife cut the fucking plate.

I heard it go through the steak in the back of the room. And I was like, fuck, let's just barrel through this. I got 11 minutes to go. Look down at the clock. One minute has gone by. Oh my God.

Yeah, I have to do this for 10 more fucking minutes. I'm like, okay, okay. I throw out all these jokes, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. This is the funniest part. We had to stay clean. They were like, please stay clean.

They don't, it's disrespectful to say fuck or anything like that. So I did. I did the right thing because I wanted the check. It was a big fucking check. So I wanted the check. And Alonzo Bowden,

I don't know, do you know Alonzo? Yeah, Zo. He's the best. Alonzo Bowden was like, man, fuck this shit. Bro, I get off stage, he can tell I'm in pain. I mean, it was like,

he was patting my... Your tears. Almost. Almost. He's patting my shoulder, like consoling me. He has a big hand too. Huge.

Opposite of the crowd. And that's not... I know that came out rock-cross weird. He has unusually big hands. He's a big hand too. Huge. Opposite of the crowd. And that's not, I know that came out rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock,

rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, fuck this shit and he goes out and he didn't want to play their bullshit game and he goes y'all ain't never seen a black motherfucker this big before and everybody turned and he was like yeah now i got your attention and he lit the room on fire wow they loved them i mean it was like all it took was someone being honest with them instead of playing this weird coy game and i'm sitting there learning lessons from him watching him fucking kill and then afterwards the promoter goes right up,

gives him a big hug. And everyone's laughing, and they're smiling. And I'm standing there, and I'm like, hey. Hey, you know? Hey. And I said, man, this is great, man. I want to thank you so much. To the promoter, I said, I want to thank you so much.

I would love to do these again. And he goes, well, you know, we'll talk. We'll talk. I never done a corporate gig ever again after that. Literally, that guy, that buried me because of that. So the lesson here is

if you're bombing bad, make a good black joke and it will work. Because he killed, man. He fucked up. Yeah, I don't do corporates or college gigs. They're just too nightmarish.

What is your, like what's the world in the music world when you guys get offered like a private corporate gig? Yeah. Do you like that shit? Do you hate that shit?

I love it. You do? I love to do a corporate gig because people, they're always drunk as fuck. And just sort of just starved for entertainment. They're just ready to give it up for whoever the entertainment is. But they show you the respect. And we come and we kill it. It's like a party.

Do they want you to hang out afterward and shit? I mean, in a perfect world, but I just graciously decline. How do you guys exit? Do you guys all have jetpacks when you're done? Do you take off on jetpacks? Pretty much. The Roots, gone.

We throw a bunch of smoke bombs down. But even if the Roots bomb, right? They bomb together. Yeah, we throw a bunch of smoke bombs down, and it's gone. But even if the roots bomb, right, they bomb together. Yes. When you're by yourself, and you can share that experience only to yourself, it's horrifying. That's why I want you to... No, like, the roots, we've never, I don't know that we've bombed together. Maybe earlier on, we had, like, one or two bad gigs. But yeah, like, when you bomb, in the roots, it's usually just, like, you.

Yeah. You just didn't do well on whatever instrument you play. So you feel it. And do they say anything backstage? Is anybody like, hey, man, you were shit. That was shit. Yeah, what was up with that? Yeah.

And so they gang up on one person. Like the whole group gangs up on one dude? Yeah, sometimes. Sorry to interrupt, but I have OCD. What is that purple thing right there with the spray? Oh, man, this is, I wish I could make up something cool for it to be. Can I spray some on my body, or is that yours? It's like

a mint mouth thing. No, no, no, no, wait. Don't give him that. Don't give him that. It's organic hand sanitizer. Do you have any more of that? You put it in your hands. You put your hands in your mouth. It's mouth stuff. It's mouth.

It's breath freshener. It's his hand thought. How about I couldn't think of breath freshener fast enough. I said, it's mint mouth thing. You're weirdo, man. Look at that. You made that guy leave. That's how much he man. Look at that. You made that guy leave. That's how much he was...

You made that guy leave. Bobby, don't push people. Bobby. He's just kidding. He's just kidding. He's joking around. It's all... Well, you killed a guy

in the audience. I'm suing you tonight. See? See? Why is that man leaving? That was very strange. That was really weird. Really weird.

It's a very short... He doesn't look laughing. You gonna chase him with Red Bull? So bad. Yeah. I knew what it was, but I did it for comedy, but then I regret it now.

That's not good. How much stuff have you done for comedy that you regretted? Oh my God. so many things. I can't even, there's a list of 10,000. Like I was at the Tempe Improv, like I'm back in the Tempe Improv, but I was banned from that room for 20 years.

Do you know why? Because when I was young and I opened for Carlos Mencia there, I was on stage, I was bombing, and I pulled my pants down, and there was a candles back then they had on the table. Yeah, real candles. And I took the candle, I just jammed it in my butthole.

And the owner of the club is a Christian, right? They're all Christians? Yeah. And they're like, um, that's not comedy. They left, they left. Yeah, but, you know, it's not, you know, that's not what our club is about. Yeah.

The improv brand. Yeah. So then 20 years, I couldn't play that room for one candle in your ass I don't can't one candle in your ass It seems like such a simple a room and then you know how I got back in how the guy died It was tragic, but he you kill, you know, and that's sad. It's really sad. No, the guy died. No, listen.

Bobby. It's sad. Bobby. Bobby. Bobby. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait a minute. You're saying he shot himself, he hung himself, he cut himself open?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he's like a Terminator kind of a guy. But so he died. Very bad. And then my friend, this is what's like a Terminator kind of a guy. So he died and then my friend, this is what you do if you're banned from a club, just have your friend,

when the guy dies, have your friend buy it. So my friend Joel bought it. Yeah. I'm back here. See, and you guys are celebrating

that behavior, which I totally disagree with and that's so fucked up. Why, why, why? No, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine. Because ever since we've known each other, you've done things that you know are crossing the line for comedy. You know what sucks about my reputation is that I'll do a new club, or I'll be on a, what did you say?

You created it for yourself. Yeah, I already said that earlier, though. Yeah, you did it, it's your fault. Go ahead. Okay, don't bring it back up, okay? It's fine. It's your fault. Go ahead. I already know. It's all your fault. Go ahead. Anyway, I'll show up at a shoot or something,

and a director or a club owner will go, wow, you're unlike what I had heard. And I go, what'd you hear? We just thought that you were going to jam things in your butthole and run around. You know what I mean? I'm an American citizen. I know how to function in society. But as a performer...

Where's she going? Where you going? I'm real tired of this walking out stuff. Everybody boo. One, two, three. Boo! This guy's back, though. Let's say one, two, three, yay! One, two, three, yay! One, two, three, yay. Welcome him back.

There's this guy. Welcome back. Very good. Look, he took a shit. Look at his smile. Yeah. He feels relaxed. Hurry up and sit the fuck down.

Let's go. Hurry up. Yeah, yeah, hurry up. It's not about you. But what was I saying? Oh, yeah, so, yeah. Talking about the brand that you built. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You built the brand. You built yourself. But, you know, in the last five years or six years, I've been pretty good, though. Yeah, you've been keeping it together. I've been keeping it together. I show up to places. And, like, this festival was a place where I had never been before. Yeah, you'd never been here.

I'd never been here before. Black thought. Why would you do that, black thought? I don't know. Because it was just a black thought. It was just a Black Thought. It was an honest Black Thought. I felt like you were being too real. He likes it when you're fucked up.

I love the relationships and Blacks and Koreans. Can I just talk about it for a second? Yeah, we have and we should. Is that back in the riots? We had a rough time. Yeah, it was a rough time. The looting, you know what I mean? The shooting. Yeah, it was a rough patch. The looting, you know what I mean? Keep this in mind.

The shooting. The shooting, yeah. That's my bad. That was you guys. And then it's like, but you know, if you touch it, you have to buy it. When you're in the bookstore. Just to let you know. I know.

I just want to let you know, Black Thought, no browsing. Okay? Do you know what? This is not a museum, right? You know what's so fucked up? Buy it or not. You know what I mean? You know what's so fucked up about this?

When he came into the green room, Bobby followed him around. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. Yes, you did. Oh. Yes, you did. You did. You kind of did.

I did kind of do it, but that's just the... He came in. He came in. I said, what's up? It's so good to have you. And Bobby poked his head around the corner. Yeah, yeah. And he was like, who's with him?

Who's with him? No, I didn't. I didn't say it like that. You said, who's with him? Who's with him? No, I didn't. I didn't say it like that. You said, who's with him? Who's with him? Oh, yeah, I did it like that. And he had a bag in his hand and he goes,

what's in the bag? What's in the bag? What's in the bag? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did do that. But then, so after the ride, it got a little weird,

but then, guess what helped us? Rush hour. Yeah. Rush hour. Yeah. After rush hour, then you could go to

like a Korean spa and then you would see black people again there. Yeah. In my head, I was like, oh, it's working. So Chris Tucker bridged the gap, you think. It was all him? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And now it's just a love fest, is it not? I mean, I wouldn't say love fest. No. Like fest. It's a like fest. It's a like fest. It's a get along fest more than anything. It's a get along fest, yeah.

It's a get along fest. You know, it's great. The internet and everything, we're all one now. What do you think? You have no respect for that microphone. I know. I know. I know.

When you guys, when you guys, when you're on the road, are you really particular about your equipment like that? Like, do you have to have a special mic? Are you weird about that? Yeah, yeah. I'm weird about it. I have my mic. Your mic, and it travels with you? Yeah.

Why don't comics do that? I'm always fascinated. Why don't we have our microphone? I know, because the other night I was on the mic. Yeah, I know what you do to the mic. And I coughed. Yeah. And there was a chunk of red something.

And it was like a beet, but it wasn't beets, because I hadn't even had beets in a year. It was blood. And I was like, that's my time! And he hit it like that. And I saw it, and I go, Bonnie McFarlane's about to go out. I'm going to leave it. So I left it in there, and I could see her.

I was laughing so loud, because I could see her I was laughing so loud Because I could see her going Hey everybody And she looked right at me Right And she went like that Like that So you travel Yeah we should travel

Every time I see Every time I Comics In a lot of comics Like some of the Shittier comics Will do A lot of bad bits

With the mic Like lick it And chew on it And put it in In their body cavities And they'll do Cheap stuff With the microphone, don't they? Oh yeah. Yeah, don't you?

I used to... You used to fucking swallow it. Suck it like a dick, right? But then every time I go home, I get a sore throat. Why do you think that is? Well, through research, googling it, it's because there's bacteria. Bacteria, yeah. That's probably what's on there

that's in your throat. But then you would do it all the time. I don't do it anymore. You don't. Bacteria, yeah. That's probably what's on there that's in your throat. That's why I don't do it. But then you would do it all the time. I don't do it anymore. You don't do it anymore. You learn. Every time I did, I got sick. You live, you learn. He did it all the time trying to build up a resistance. Yeah. That's what it was, yes. You know how like in Game of Thrones, right? Right? Someone will have a poison

in their mouth or something and they're so used to the poison, they kiss and they kill the other person. they don't die. Right, they build an immunity. I don't remember where I saw that. I'm so sorry. But the odd thing is that the thing that you must learn about Bobby right now

is that Bobby doesn't really have much of an immune system because he sleeps for, I don't know, 19 hours a day? When did I call you today and I asked where you were? 4.42. In bed.

Yeah, you're in bed. Do you know why? 4.42 in the... I didn't have to be here until 5.15. That's right. So what am I going to do? What time did you go to bed last night? I don't know, 4 in the morning?

You did not. 5. You did? Yeah. What were you doing up all night? You weren't at shows. Well, I mean, okay. Let's say you went to bed at, you know,

4.35 in the morning still. I mean, that's a long-ass time. I know, because I get depressed. And also, you know, I've been in Montreal for longer than you have, and I've been masturbating every night. And what's happening now is that I can't sleep if I don't masturbate.

And last night, I was looking at all kinds of weird porn, right? I'm sorry. What's weird porn, dude? And my penis wouldn't get hard, so I would take my two fingers like this. Yeah. And I'd squeeze. Let's say this is the head. I'd squeeze this part.

Yeah. It gets some sort of blood flowing into it. Yeah. And then I just started doing this like this. Yeah. Yeah. And then, like, you know how you masturbate a lot and you don't really get that big of a feeling

because you've just been doing it for long. So when I came, it was just like, I went, oh. I mean, that's it. And then now you have like a little like, your wet fingers with cream. What is it? We've talked about this before. What sound does it make when you cum?

Bloop. Because it's only one tear. What is it? We've talked about this before. What sound does it make when you cum? Boop. Because it's only one tear. You're laughing now, but I'm going to say that. I've talked to doctors about it. My one tear has just as many as your big load. You cum gangster tears? Gangster tears. Yeah, yeah.

Like I murdered somebody. I would just like to think when you cum, like a gong gets hit. For some reason, I would love that so much. At the moment... You know, I try not to laugh.

That was very good. That was good racial shit. I love it. When you guys... When you're traveling with the group on the road, when you... Like, most guys

have families now, right? Most are families? Yeah, yeah. When you travel on the road when on the road, when you, like, most guys have families now, right? Most are families? Yeah, yeah. When you travel on the road, when everybody was single, what was the rules of the road with that kind of shit? You know, like, with comics, like, comics travel in time. With masturbating? What do you mean? Well, fucking anything.

Like, groupies, anybody. Like, what were the rules of, like, because you had to share a space, didn't you, when you first started out? So what's the rules of that? You know, like, the sock on the door, like, don't come in. I have a girl. Or come on in. She's down. I mean, yeah. Yeah, there were no rules. No rules. You didn't the door like don't come in i have a girl or come on in she's down i mean yeah there yeah there were no rules no rule you didn't have like a pact between

you like listen here's i'm particular about this when i bring someone back it was just free for all um yeah you know i mean i guess i want to live back then so bad yeah i mean we it was it was the 90s yeah yeah there was a code of honor in comedy where that was in play, but now there's no more code. What do you mean? Because I've gone up. I'm not going to name names because I can get into very big trouble. But there's a bunch of big comic guys that are single. Is this about Ken Jeong again?

What? Is this about Ken Jeong again? No, no. Yeah, let's just say Ken Jeong. No. Not Ken Jeong. No. That guy doesn't fuck, bro.

You don't fuck, dude, that guy. My point is this, is that, and I would go up to guys that get a lot of girls and go, listen, you know what I mean? You stay with the sevens and the tens, through the tens. They're yours. We get the fours. I mean, me, you know,

what's that Indian guy from Canada? Russell. Russell Peters? That guy, yeah, yeah. Guys like him, right? So you're saying you guys would get the fours? Yeah, but just... If you're a good-looking male comic who gets women, stay with the nines and tens,

but don't dip down and get threes. Right. Because then little midgets like Brad Williams can't get any girls, you know what I mean? Little people, sorry. Little people. He. Little people. He's a human being. I think I should go.

I think that's it. I should go. You're not going to go? Yeah, okay. Did you just apologize? I'm so sorry. That's fine. Any dwarves or little people in the room?

Oh, boy. There it is. There is? Oh, there you are. You are there. I'm so sorry. That was my... Oh, my God. is. There is? Oh, there you are. You are there. I'm so sorry. That was my, oh my God. What are the odds?

Literally, because I was looking at the audience, right? I was looking at the audience. I was like, you can say it because they're not here, right? But then I realized that he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come up, come up. Oh my God. This is terrible. It's terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come up, come up. Oh, my God.

This is terrible. It's terrible. Oh, what a terrible day. Yeah, I know you, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, how are you? Sit down. Please sit down.

Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Dude, you couldn't hear him? What the fuck? What's going on, guys? Bobby, come here. Happy people. Bobby, come here.

But when I wear shoes, I'm actually five, too. So a lot of psychology. I'm into psychology.. But when I wear shoes, I'm actually 5'2". So, uh...

A lot of psychology. I'm into psychology. You know what I mean? Yeah. So... Man, you guys do think and talk different. That's for sure. There's nothing about that. And, uh, in psychology, I'm not sure if you guys are aware of the marshmallow experiment, but it's when a marshmallow you guys are aware of the marshmallow experiment,

but it's when a marshmallow gets placed in front of a kid, and if he could withstand the temptation, you know, if he could last one minute... Okay, Mike, all right.

Okay, that's great. Yeah, very... I have fans, fucknut. And he came to the other one, right? I did a podcast here with who? Not as many people here yesterday. But who was it? I forget.

The 500. That's right. So this had way more people than the other podcast that he did? Oh, way more. That's right. Dude, this is insane. When I walked over here,

I was like, they're here for Red? But they are. I mean, no, really, it's probably me. For black. Yeah, more than anything in the world. You've touched him so many fucking times now. I know. I wish we had a meter up there. I've got my shit.

It's absurd. So you're from where? Australia. Australia. Okay, great. Here's the deal. I got the okay from my girlfriend to do one with him, but my only problem is the fat black guy. Nobody cares. I know, but the fat it together. To do one with him. Yeah. But my only problem is the fat black guy. Nobody cares. I know,

but the fat black guy wants to do one with me too. And I said before I'd get Tiger Belly that I was going to do one with him. But it never turned out I fucked him over. And now if I do one with you,

fat black's going to get really upset. So let me just take a quick poll. Eric Griffin, by the way, I call him fat black. Yeah, he's like my Eric Griffin. I don't care what you think because he's fat and he's black. How many people here

want us to do that podcast together? So, alright. The people have spoken. Yeah. So, okay. Let's get another question. Who has a nice question? This gentleman right behind. What's up, dude? Hey, I'm Josh. Hey, Josh.

When are you going to do a special, Bobby? Yeah, when are you going to do a special? You know, the honest truth is this. Is that... You have to get up every time you talk like a dictator or something. What is that about me? I don't know. It's like a power thing. Here's the deal, okay?

You know, as a comic, you want to feel that you're wanted. Right? I think everyone wants more. Yes, they do. I want to feel like I'm wanted. I want to feel like companies want to do with me. And I'm not having any excitement with any companies that want to do one with me.

And I don't want to ask and beg, because I feel like I've been around for so long. I've done so many things, more than most, right? And yet I feel like nobody wants to be in business, so I was gonna wait until some company was like, we really want to do one with you, we're big fans, and we think it's gonna be a hit. If you don't get that, and you're like,

you try to convince people that you're relevant and that you can do it, it feels gross. Yeah. And like this festival, it's like, this is my first time ever in Montreal. And the reason why is because it got to the point where I felt like they really wanted me. Yes. And you want to feel loved.

Yeah. That's what it is. It's not that I don't have the ability or the material. I do. But I'm not going to beg, friend. There you go. I want to be offered with money. So this is a great question because we've talked about this before.

Bobby Knight. I'd be so upset. That was a good question. I love it. But it's a real thing. It's a real thing that this is something that I genuinely wanted to ask you, too. It's like, what is the pressure to do another album? Because for us, there is this weird, what do the fans want versus what we want to distribute?

Do you still feel pressure to make another fucking album? Or are you like, that's not even on the agenda? I feel a little pressure to make another Roots album. Right. Yeah, because it's what the people sort of want. But do you want it? I do want it, but not as much as I want to do just anything that's different from that. You know what I mean?

I feel like I want to just be creative in different ways. But, yeah, there's something to be said about what putting out new material under the Roots brand affords us as a band. You know what I mean? Endorsements and tours and all sorts of, you know, everything that sort of comes along with putting out new music is what I think those members of The Roots who don't do anything

but put out Roots albums are sort of more concerned with. This is a powerful thing that Bobby was saying. I know we make jokes a lot, but what is truthful is Bobby is one of the most respected comedians in the game by far. One of my personal favorites both because we're so close and both because I really love his comedy.

It's the same way that I feel like with your music. It's like the fans and the people do want this stuff. But it is up to us at some point to decide whether or not we feel it is A, ready or B, worth it to put out there. Because it's artistic integrity. People are always like, why don't you do this? And why don't you do this? And you're like, dude, that's me, my name is on the line, you know, so that's a hard thing sometimes.

But you know what's great about this and this just proves my point. Look at this crowd, right? Yeah. And the thing is is that we were forced to do it on our own, to reach our own audiences, right? My Tiger Valley fans are people that, like this guy right here, right, are my real fans. that's why when I see him we hug and I'm very like nice because he's family

you kissed him on the mouth yeah yeah I'll kiss him in the mouth I'll give him a fuck yeah I don't give a fuck way too far way weird

it's very weird you've never been to Europe you can still taste sweet and sour you want to spray some of this on your mouth or is it no you're good

okay yeah but you know that's what's great about this new age is that, I was talking to that kid Andrew Schultz. He's a fucking beast. Schultz is the shit.

Yeah, we love him. One of the funniest guys I have ever fucking seen. I'm being real. He's a murderer. He's a murderer, right? He's so dope. And I'm like, he's like, I just did it on YouTube. Yeah.

And I'm like, oh, you just do it on your, that generation of people, they do it on their own. Yeah. And for years we've had gatekeepers. There's five or six guys that make all the decisions. If those six don't like you, you're out. Yeah, that's true. You're out, but that's not the game now.

The game is not you. Everyone can compete. And, you know, we've found our audiences. Like, look at this, right? So, in many ways, you know, we're winning. That's right. Okay. Thank you, Bob. Bob, sit down he's gonna he's gonna it's what he's got to do this is what he's got to do um just we literally

only have like a couple more if you have something uh a black dog question perhaps would be dope anybody go what do you got what do you got That guy. That guy. That guy right there. Sorry. What's up? I've got a question for you, Andrew. Okay. What was the exact text? Sorry.

Sorry. Don't leave. Don't leave. Great. This is going to be me up here, sad. No, please sit. Please stay. I need you.

What was the text that you sent to Neil Brennan that caused him to cut you out of his life? Yes. Yes. Well, you know, we're cool now. You do know that, right? Oh, shit. Neil Brennan, that's why we're on tonight's show. Oh, yeah. He's... So, Bob, you gonna come back or not?

No, Bob. We got five more minutes. Come sit down, please. Bob. Well, don't sleep till fucking five and eat food then. And then complain about it. Yeah, and then bitch about it. Sit your fucking ass

in the chair. Thank you. Good boy. So you know Neil. Of course. And Brennan and I, these guys know, I've talked about it.

Neil and I got very close and then we got into a bad fight and now we're dope again. In fact, I just did his show today and we had to smooth over some shit and now we're dope again. In fact, I just did his show today and

we had to smooth over some shit and he was asking me what the text was. The reason I didn't share it and I won't share it now, genuinely, is out of respect for Neil because it really did hurt our relationship. I know what happened.

Come on. So, out of respect for my now my friend again who we had a little turmoil I can't I wish I could

no no no but let me say this you're smart enough you if you listen to that again you can piece together what I probably said if you're smart enough

I think I know what it is and I didn't even hear yeah you probably know yeah yeah but anyway I'm sorry but we're smart enough. I think I know what it is, and I didn't even hear. Yeah, you probably know. But anyway, I'm sorry, but we're cool now, and I've always had love for that dude. I think he's a genius of comedy. So a small little bump in the road

is not going to stop us from continuing our fucking friendship. Dude, you high-roaded the shit out of that answer. I tried, yeah. I tried hard. Well, because I respect that dude, and I fucking love him. I know some people that you have a problem with. It's secrets. I can say them. If we don't end now, I can say them. Let's take one more question.

Let's take one more question. Two more. Okay, this guy and that guy, and then that's it. That's all we got time for. Thank you so much for doing this. Yeah, that guy and that guy. What's up? Yellow shirt. Hi, guys. Can you do... I don't know if it could be more organic and maybe cathartic's up? Yellow shirt. Hi, guys. Can you do... I don't know if it could be more organic and maybe cathartic if you did it at the end,

but could you do a remix of me and my friend walking down the street with Black Thought? With Black Thought, though. Black Thought remixing. I don't know. What are you saying? With Black Thought? I'm singing solo, bro. I'm the artist. I don't know if he's ever heard that song.

Hey, Ru, do you want to check it out, man? Check this shit out, man. Do you want me to get into it or what? Bobby did a song and it caught fire. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let this other human ask a question and then we'll... Sit down, real fast. Sit down.

Sit down, please. Thank you for that. And then this is the last one and then we really got to do it. And then you can do your fucking song and dance for the camera. Hey, what was the best set of comedy you've ever witnessed? A best set of comedy I've ever seen? Ever witnessed. Witness, yes.

Live? You probably got some good ones. You've seen some fucking legendary shit. No? I mean, I saw a really killer set from Dave Chappelle at Radio City, I think maybe two years ago. Did you ever play with him? I played with Dave Chappelle. That's what I'm saying.

You guys play together. But is it ever organized or is it just like on the whim? It's kind of Dave's like, let's do this. You're like, all right. Both. You know, sometimes it's organized. Sometimes he just pops up or, you know, we'll pop up. Because the block party, right?

That was, where did he do that at? We did that in Brooklyn. Out on the street. That was fucking phenomenal. But is he doing it now where he's just like, let's just try it. Let's just wing it and fuck around. Yeah. Yeah, that's wild. So he'll call you up and be like, do you want to come play? He was trying to convince me to perform just a week ago with him in New York City, like on the fly.

You didn't want to do it? No. I high-rooted the shit out of that. All right, good. Listen, I am humbled and happy that you guys all came out. We're going to end this the way that you wanted it, yellow shirt. Thank you. Much love and much respect to Black Thought.

Ladies and gentlemen, Black Thought. All right, go ahead, Bobby. I am... No, don't do that. I'm not good with rhythm. That's why I did it. All right, let me just follow my own beat, all right? Me...

Me walking down the street my own beat, all right? Me. Okay, I got it. I got it. Me walking down the street feeling so good to me. Yeah, yeah. Having fun with my friends to the end. That's it. That's it, you guys.
