What's up, baby? Air cheers, because we're not supposed to really cheer. There you go. Drinking some whiskey in here. What's this company called? This is Buffalo Trace. It's delicious. For people that don't know,

Travis and I did Dave together on FXX and Hulu. That's how we met. Yeah, we fucked Dave together. Actually, did you fuck him? No, I didn't fuck him. No, you didn't, dude. You didn't. And you should have, by the way, because little Dickie's a fun little pound.

We actually, so I don't know if we maybe met before. This is kind of crazy because yeah we met we so i did you're for people again people that don't know you you you fucks with odd future you're an odd futuristic kid you're one of the future kids and i did tyler did uh punked with us years ago and then i helped write on Some of the Loiter Squad stuff And Lionel's show Lionel and Jasper's show What's it called? Jasper and Errol

Something Fuck I'm so blank I'm a terrible friend Jasper and Errol's adventures or some shit like that Originally Lionel And Tyler had told, what I know of the story was that they wanted to do

some sort of, like, doing white people show, doing white people shit show. Okay, yeah, yeah. It was originally called White People's Shit. Yeah. And they said no for some reason. I thought that was great.

I was like, why? Because it was too close to jackass. And it was too, like, I felt like at the time especially, like they wouldn't have cared. But now looking back, it would have been like, we would have been those black guys who like crossed the threshold of like. You black guys are crossing over that line. You better watch your step, boys.

What do you mean? But it was from the house of Jack. It was Jeff. Jeff produced it. So it was just. Yeah. So it's like if it's from Dickhouse, if it's from the Jackass crew, I think no one cares. I think that's like part of the.

I don't know. I think no one cares. But think about it like if somebody came from. I'm trying to think what's a movie you love or a situation like a thing you love. If somebody came and did some shit you love as some random new niggas, you'd be like, dude, get away from this shit. I'll make you a parallel thinking a parallel thought stevo who was big on jackass is now doing stand-up and like my initial reaction was like no but you know what's funny is like he works hard he's a funny

dude so it doesn't bother me but your initial reaction anytime when someone crosses over into something you always go but then you learn sometimes people are good in other lanes yeah speaking of which come on bro i'll give you a little shout out you did great on the show dave you're a great little actress on the show you were taking it serious too which is good you know people don't know most most actors you know they they go to school for it they prepare they you know they're they're big into it months months and months and months and and taco would show up um wasted okay high as fuck no i'm kidding not no word no no no no i would show up i would show up always high that's a fact no but you did take it serious though you did take it you did you took it very serious there was moments i took it really serious there was also

moments where i'd be like this is some shit that I don't want to be a part of. There was times where we were both like, all right, we got to go. That's enough. The hours, it's like they pay you to just have you as an option.

I don't like an option. You're an option. You feel like a dirty hoe. Just like, think about that. You're just a side bitch pretty much. All my girls at home

tripping, so I'm just... I'm a hooker on call. I'm in the suite in Vegas and the dude might tripping, so I'm just... I'm a hooker on call. Yeah. I'm in the suite in Vegas, and the dude might fuck me, but I'm getting paid either way. No matter what. Yeah, no. Look, some nights were better than others.

We had some great times on the show, and we'll do it again, hopefully. Maybe not. Maybe, you know, who knows? I mean, it's going to come back as soon as the pandemic's over, but I don't know. But what I'm interested in talking about for real is you growing up in la uh did you know did you know that you wanted to be a musician when you were young or was it like a thing you found when you got listen how about this i didn't even give a fuck about music what no i wanted to play basketball i didn't care about

anything else basketball basketball bro fucking what do we do practice four days a week what high school did you go to palisades but i didn't play basketball palisades oh you didn't why not too short what bro i got to high school ninth grade or like up until sixth grade i was like average height around kids like oh yeah i'm right in the middle the whole time and then 2008 everybody shot the fuck up except for me and i was like a midget everybody scotty pippen their sophomore year they got like six six what are you now hotel six two no it's not enough you could play point guard right yeah i still play with some hoopers i play with good dude who play like you know in the nba and they're you realize that the difference is like professional and amateur yeah yeah truly like oh you do this and get paid millions of dollars because you're great at this like it's always fun when someone's

like thinks they could make it in the nba and you're like go play with someone who is good enough and then played with people in the nba and you can even tell them that you're like oh i'm trash oh yeah even the guy that's like trainer yeah the trainers every trainer that every team has is a bucket yeah can't score on anybody yeah because they're around it all the time and then you play against even those guys like um baron davis had this thing that he was this before the drew league that he was doing like oh yeah and and he'd like pick up games yeah, dude, playing with those guys is impossible. Some of those dudes are impossibly good. And you're like, this dude isn't even close to being a pro.

And he's whooping my ass. And he's whooping the shit out of everybody on the court. That was the one thing that I learned fast of why I quit basketball. I mean, I've said it before. I said it in my special. I found drugs and booze, and I was like, bye. I quit sports because I quit playing competitive sports, team sports, because I was like, I can't, I'm not, there's no way I can make, I'm not good enough to go.

There's nowhere I was going to go. My discipline's not there. No. I also don't, I know it's going to sound terrible, I don't care enough. Me neither. Like the kids on your team, they push you usually to be better. And like, there was a kid on my team who was pushed too hard by his dad. And now he doesn't play basketball anywhere.

The daddy shift is weird. And that made me think, oh, bro, you were the one. And you are working normal. You are at work, right? This is normal life for you. You're a Chick-fil-A, and this is you now. You're supposed to be starting guard. Yeah.

But what, dad was too aggressive? Dad was too aggressive. was too aggressive mommy babied him too much you know the yin and the yang didn't really match well did you wait did you ever get that from your family where they pushed too hard yeah would they ever push you in a direction not school that's everything is school did you go to college no yeah my sister dropped out of school at 19 your sister's a musician too right very successful she dropped out of school at 19. Your sister's a musician too, right? Very successful. She dropped out of college? College. Where'd she go?

Not community college. But then she just was like, I'm out. 4.2, graduated high school, dean's list, yada, yada. These kids make me so mad. And then just like- What was your GPA, bro? 2.4? Yeah.

3? C average. Yeah, for sure. That was only one year that i'd like flying colors a's and b's why what happened that year my dad said if i got all a's and b's i wouldn't have to do shit over whatever you want all summer they offer you one thing and you're like i'm all right i'm all over this and otherwise i'm like i'm not doing it yeah i did high school for you know a few years i always think about that shit.

Like most people, as terrible as it sounds, it's like they move to L.A. It's their dream or whatever. And like I'm from L.A. This is, you know. Yeah, but you saw it all around you. If I fall off, I'm still here. Yeah, you're here. That's scary to me.

Yeah, but who do you know that you came up with in middle school or high school that wanted to be a part of Hollywood and actually got it and is good? Is there anybody you know? That like popped and you're like, damn, and he or she is actually good. Only musicians. Yeah, no one else in Hollywood? No, like actor. Who's big music-wise that you know that came through with you?

Grew up. Tyler. Yeah, but other than you guys. Other than you guys. Vince Staples. Other than us? Give me someone that I don't know that you grew up with. Oh, that's like just, that still doesn't, that's not big now?

Yeah. It's a kid named Taj that used to rap with us. Taj was the most talented one out of everybody. Everybody would admit it. That nigga has like seven kids now. He lives in Kansas. Saw him two years ago. Most talented rapper I know.

So he grew up with you, moved to Kansas after he had kids? He got kicked out. No, he got kicked out of his dad's house or his mom's house. He had to move to wherever with whoever it was. And then I didn't see that nigga for like six years. And then he comes back. He's like, hey man man i'm living in lawrence kansas bro lawrence kansas middle of fucking nowhere that's where no that's where isn't that

where kansas university is right yeah so whatever we're sitting around on the tour bus and somebody says yo somebody called y'all all by y'all real names and he outside he says he knows you and we're like what's his name? And he goes, nigga, it's Taj. And I just was like, huh? I look out the window. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? He's like, I live here.

And he's like, so a lot of times you meet somebody, you see somebody who you know from back in the day and they like have some sort of resentment towards you or some sort of like weird energy where you're like, oh, nigga, you're mad about something. I don't I can't help about for sure he was the one of the first people who was just like yeah i'm fine like i don't didn't hate on the success no he was just proud do you have do you ever have somebody from home you made me think of something you ever have somebody from home that when you were young maybe they didn't you know they didn't have much in your brain you were like well they might not go anywhere and then it turns out they're like that motherfucker's a lawyer do you have any of

those people like dude i have a dude i have a dude there's some dudes that i grew up with getting getting fucked up with getting high and drunk and you're like we'll all have they'll have i knew i was going to get into this but for them i was like he'll probably get into sales or some shit you know what i mean and there's some dudes that are dudes that I grew up with that I would get wrecked with. And that were kind of just falling through life a little bit. And now they're like multi, multi millionaires. They popped off on some weird niche thing. Do you have anybody like that?

I have one kid I went to middle school and high school with. I used to smoke with every day. He used to take me home because he got out of school early. And that nigga's a firefighter. And how I saw it, it was crazy. I was standing outside, bro. smoke with every day he said take me home uh because he got out of school early and that nigga's a firefighter and how i saw and it was crazy i was standing outside bro i was sitting outside at a restaurant and like by my mom's house like just you know mind my fucking business and all of a sudden i hear a fire truck honk and i look and he goes hey nigga he's like it's rico i was like what the fuck is going on? By the way, Rico would be, it's Rico. We're firefighting now, bro.

Literally, I was like, what the fuck is going on? Bro, you're going to love this. This, this, this. You're going to love this story real fast. I hate to cut you off, but yes, two days ago, I go out on the golf course. This makes me laugh so hard. Do you know a rapper named King Hammond? Is that a real name?

Am I off? King Hammond. No? Not real name? Am I off? King Hammond. No? Not a bill. Okay, me neither. He was golfing? Bro. So I'm up there, ready to go golfing, right?

Wait, wait, no, no, no. You're going to like this. So it's me and two other dudes, and they say, one more dude just booked. He's going to be on his way up right now. Like one more dude just came in and booked, and i was like okay we'll chill we'll wait for him so we're waiting for this dude this you know young black

kid comes up probably like i don't know 25 maybe 20 you know a young dude comes up he's dressed to the nines like he looks like a fucking golfer and and and and my my thing is some of the best golfers i've ever golfed with look like trash. They dress like shit and they're phenomenal. I learned that lesson, pick up basketball. It's a nigga dressing a full outfit, shoes that match, headband, this band, this band. He's going to be garbage. He's a bum. He's a bum. Well, he comes up dressed really well, like dressed, I mean, in the nicest golf gear,

has like brand new clubs and shit, like really looking like flashy. Clubs have no marks. Right. And I was like, damn, dude, this guy he he's either somebody who's good and he's legit and he's on top of the golf game or he just bought this shit yesterday and he comes up and we're like all right man we're already you know we already teed off like you go ahead you know you're good he introduces him you know we all say what's up he's like my name's christian or something it's okay he gets up there and dude he's like fake swinging the club you know like practicing and he turns he goes hey man i gotta

confess something to y'all bro i swear to god though i was like do you have you got you got covid bro like he was so serious he was like i confess something i was like what's up he's like i never swung a golf club before and i was like why are you out here right now like we're on a night on a golf course that is hot it's hard like it's hard for even good golfers and i was like why are you out here right now like we're on a golf course that is it's hard like it's hard for even good golfers

and I was like oh bro you gotta go to the range or go to like a place where you can practice or something go to urban golf bro he goes

he's like nah bro I can't do that shit I can't do that dog I gotta learn today and I was like alright man well

we let him he hits a few times he can't you know he can't swing really he can't swing really you know he's he can't get through it and so i tell him i said pick up the ball at some point we get to the next hole we're on the t-box i said why do you have to learn so bad like why why do you want to play right now he's like bro because i'm an artist and tomorrow and next week

next week i got to play another artist for 50 g's and i was like what do you what do you mean what do you mean i said and of course i'm playing i'm being coy I was like, what do you mean? What do you mean? I said, and of course I'm playing, I'm being coy. I was like, what kind of artist? You know, like. You paint. Yeah.

Are you a sketcher? Do you sketch? And he's like, he goes, I'm a rapper, bro. I said, oh, really? Have I heard of it? What's your name? And he goes, King Hammond. I was like, no, I don't.

I'm like, I don't know. I'd have to ask some people that I know. No, I've never heard of you. He's like, yeah, well, me and another artist got a 50G bet on the line next week. I'm like, you're betting $50,000 for a sport? Who's the other guy? Yeah, he wouldn't tell me. He was like, it's another artist, bro. I was like, you're betting $50,000?

I only know one rapper who would golf and who would golf that much money. Who? Schoolboy Q. Is he good like that? He's fucking nice. Really? Yeah. I do golfs every day. I do golf every day.

He does? Every day. They put their hands in the air. That dude? Yes. And no bullshit. He's great. Is he?

I golf with this girl named Hayden, and her dad runs Hacienda, that course. Yes. So I went there to golf with them one time. And schoolboy Q was out there. I didn't know. I didn't go golf with Q. And she was like, do you know this dude's name? And she was trying to figure it out because she has a white girl.

She didn't know who the fuck. You know what I mean? She's like, he's a rapper. His name is Q something. Q something. I'm like, you know. Q-Ball Jones. So I'm like, Q-Tip.

Do-do-do. Schoolboy. And then she's like, yeah, I've golfed with him. I was like, really? She was like, yeah, we played in a tournament and we were down and he showed up late and brought us back. And I was like, what do you mean? She was like, we were down. We were like fourth place.

He brought us back. And Q came through. And so I don't know. I don't know. Like, I don't know. I never heard of this kid before. But also didn't think about this. But 50 Gs, bro.

On something you don't know? Yeah. It's like me being like, yo, let's play 50 Gs right now. I'll beat you in fucking backgammon. I'd be like, bro, we don't even know how to play backgammon. Like, you don't have to have so much money to piss it away like that.

Or you don't have so much money and you're like, some dumb young nigga who's just like, hey, bro, you bet me 50 G's. Gotta check. If somebody bet me 50 G's for certain things, I'd be like,

without knowing their skill, I'd be like, oh, yeah, what's up? In basketball 101. Yeah, would you take a bet like that in basketball? That's heavy. If I'm looking at the person, if I could look them up and down, oh yeah, I'm taking that bet. If Dave is like, I'll bet you 100 G's right now to play, easy peasy.

Fine. See, that's funny, by the way. That's the difference in basketball. You can almost always tell if someone's going to be good. Sometimes people surprise you. Yes, always people surprise you, but it always surprising it's it's a shock it's like either a shock way above what they were and way under there's never a medium nobody's ever averaged but with golf bro oh yeah you can never tell you can never tell you you you you dudes that you can play with that can look

schlubby or unathletic or even like even kind of like dumpy you're like that dude isn't doesn't have any athletic skill that dude will fuck you up and like he will fuck you up in golf he can't beat you in a race but he'll beat you in any game of golf no see that's yeah that's there's some sports where you go you can pick a dude and go that dude would be good at i bet you he's good at football you can just like feel it you know you go i bet you he's good but golf you'll go i am i don't know that fat weirdo could be dope and i would have no idea that's why golf money is good because also if you think about like professional golfers you can never pick one out like they all look different you

know what i mean basketball players like there's a bunch of niggas light-skinned to dark skin and a few white guys football hey there's a few white guys i was arguing with my buddy about that today i was about uh McClung. Is that his last name? Mac McClung. Yeah. And he's going back, right? He's not going to go.

Now he's going to go back to college. Is that what it is? I have no idea. I think he said he wasn't going to try to go to the league. And I said, this is the thing with these white kids. And he does it to me all the time. He's always like, it's because you're racist against whites in the NBA. And I'm like, it's because you're racist against whites in the nba and i'm like it's not that it's just in the past 15 years any white hope hype that comes through they they they

have all this hype in college all this namesake and then they float yeah gordon hayward was the last one that like kind of had see his issue though was he was too big and he didn't break his leg or some shit yeah he broke his leg bad yeah but jj was even way before him jj but think about it it's like they're too good in college so you're basing it on somebody who's playing against people at their college kids yeah yeah then you bring it to this pros it's like oh jj reggae was in orlando for seven years being a bum until he made it to fucking what was it philly or the clippers philly but he did show up though

he did start playing basketball he can shoot he can play ball the difference is like I have yet to have a dude come through college to the pros like that Tyler Hero kid

had a good you know good rookie year but still he's great yeah but still we'll see yeah we will see that's my point is like

there's a lot of people that shine early unless they're European yeah Luka Doncic is to me i and i'll say i know somebody said that online to me they were like what about luke i was like dude he's dope but like i don't think i can claim that's like yeah that's like being like that's like being from africa yeah i don't think he's not white yeah can't have him john you got to get an american born white kid to prove me wrong somebody's a luca and i'm like i don't know, because I made some comment about the last dance saying, saying, you know, out of all the white ballplayers that come through,

like none of them will be on Mount Rushmore. And people were like, Larry Bird, motherfucker. I was like, bro, they won't be on Mount Rushmore. They just won't. Larry Bird is the greatest white man to ever touch a basketball. And I think the one person who will dethrone him is Luka Doncic because that nigga's insane. Way more nice.

Way more nice. I think he's going to be the greatest player. The only difference is you got to have championships to put up those arguments. That's the problem. You come to some point...

That's why LeBron's argument is never really that deep because it's like you got three brother and you got him, you know, you didn't get him with the same team.

And you got him with stacked, didn't get him with the same team and he and you and you got him with stacked stacked stacked lineups like yeah he chat he chess piece picked what he needed i mean dude but if anybody could could have done a storied career in the nba that dude did the thing that you're like wow you'll look back and go i mean his documentary his last dance will be like he left cleveland they burned his jersey they they fucking, they pissed on his house, you know what I mean? They wanted to kill his family. He came back.

He came back and won you a chip. And then said, fuck you again and left. And now the respect is like, well, you did it. You brought us, you did what you wanted or you did what you said

you were going to do. And then he came to the biggest money market. Then it's like, you came to the biggest money market in the NBA. And then you opened a school at home.

What a fucking black guy dude he's a smart dude he never LeBron's the only athlete I can think of right now that's never taken an L

think about an L I know and how come he doesn't in the world of social media how come you've never seen him get clipped one time isn't that weird

is he that good no or is people around him that good yeah I think that's what it is he's got money worth a billion dollars.

He can make anything disappear. I know. It's so sick though. I know. I love it. That's the reason you get richer. So you're just like, that didn't happen. Someone's like, it didn't happen.

Like Michael Jordan had mad shit around his basketball shit. LeBron's only drama is basketball related. Nobody cares about his- And it's all fake drama too. Yeah, it's all bullshit. Nobody cares about him off the court. No. He do nothing off the court.

It's so funny how it's fake drama that people construct fake fucking drama around stuff where you're like, oh, that's just because there's nothing else to talk about. It's like when you read the news now. Oh, yeah. It's COVID, COVID, COVID. Random story about some kid. Fake bullshit. Some fake bullshit.

COVID, COVID, COVID. And then some fucking mailman shoots a basketball hoop. COVID, COVID, COVID. It's like, mailman shoots a basketball hoop. COVID, COVID. It's like, all right, bud. There's always like one kind of hopeful story thrown in there a little bit, you know? And then they go right back to like, 14 moms died of COVID in Arkansas together. Dude, I can't, I won't read it anymore. I won't even, I can't even fuck with it anymore.

I haven't watched the news in two years. Three years. News is dark. I don't, that's why I think like our parents' age, their generation is like, they're too news heavy. Yeah. Dude,

that's all, that's, my dad only watches the news. Yeah. Like TV shows? My dad didn't even know we were on a show. I swear to God,

my dad was like, what are you on? What's going on? Because he, he just listens to the news, tons of news. He reads the fucking paper every day. He still watches news.

He listens to it all day. It's like running constantly. You got to think about it for them, though, because before, you know, computers, yada, yada, yada. If you wanted the news, if you wanted sports, you had to go do it. You had to go find it. You had to go see it. I know, but times have changed so much. And now it's all in front of them.

And instead of, like, you know, them using it to their best abilities to like look into shit that they actually care about, they're just like, it's just news circulating their fucking head around and around and around and you're just like, oh yeah, it's news.

Yeah, the one thing my dad blows my mind about with all the bullshit news he listens to is he called me one time because now he's retired so he's not doing shit.

News, that's what he's doing. He's like, he goes, he goes, you ever seen Ancient Aliens? I was like, bro. You're seven years old.

I was like, are you smoking weed? Did you start smoking weed? He's like, I'm telling you, aliens built the pyramids. He's so deep, dude. It makes me laugh so hard. I'm like, bro, of all people, my dad never smoked pot his whole life. Love this. never smoked pot his whole life. Love this. Never smoked pot.

I never thought he would get into some weird conspiracy shit like that. He's like, you got to see it. I'm like, dude, I've seen it. He's like calling me up asking me about planet Earth. It's like that kind of stuff. He's like, you've seen planet Earth? I'm like, yeah, bro, when it came out. Eight years ago.

Yeah, when it came out. My mom will send me videos that she sees on Facebook that are like vines and you're like oh baby baby girl poor baby no do you do are you into tiktok are you doing that no you don't do it no and the reason i didn't do it is because it's like that's the easiest way to meet like that's how i look at people kind of jokingly it's like oh you got tiktok oh you're different okay so i'm cheating the game i have somebody running my tiktok and they just wait no and they put up my old clips and i feel like people at first he goes all you have to do is put up other stuff don't you don't have to make them because i said i don't want to make them no because so i put i put these old

clips up and they do well sometimes on there and And I go, but I'm not really doing it the way that it's supposed to be used. TikTok is done. Yeah. And he was like, it doesn't, they don't care. People don't care. I thought it was like, oh, if you don't do like a song dance, like, and this, and this, and that. He was like, I thought, oh, they won't want you on there.

He's like, no, no, they don't give a shit. It's just TikTok. But to me, it's like a generational thing. It's like, if I get a TikTok, it feels like the same way it felt when like parents started getting my spaces and facebook yeah you're just like okay like you just it's cool i get it but like why do we all need to be i know i i said for the longest time i was like i'm never gonna do that i'm never gonna do that and i'm still technically i'm not really doing it but i am just putting shit out there to circulate it you know and it's funny to think his brain was right he was like bro there's kids that are 22 that don't know they don't know anything about you they don't and of course you're right and then he goes this is just an entry point

to get them into enough into this world yeah i was like that's really smart because i but for a long time i was like i don't give a fuck about that shit and he was like yeah you do bro because and i think about that all the time but my other thing is just like most people that you see too much of them yeah i don't want to be the guy where it's like you've seen too much of me and then you get tired of me like there's so many musicians out there or actors out there where you've like seen them so much and now you're just like you see them you're like nah i don't want yeah you get over them and so i'm like or they bury themselves they do too much and they hurt like it's not even that the fans get over them And so I'm like Or they bury themselves They do too much And they hurt Like it's not even That the fans get over them

It's that You know like They Their performances lack Because they do too much stuff Yeah And then even they're not Producing shit anymore

And like I just don't wanna get caught In that shit You know it's so easy For me to just Disappear off earth Yeah Especially now it's like

You know people get Fucking bored Yeah people get bored You're only as good As you were last week so I'm like let me just right you're as good

as your last game that's what kills me as a comic you're as good as your last show that fucks me up the most because if you have one bad show

you're like like when you have a bad show do you get in the car and yell at yourself you know what it really is for me truthfully I get

when I go home after having a bad show I need to take like two hours to not talk to my old lady to not i don't want to hear anybody i don't want i don't want to talk to anybody i just want to just yeah i want to just like yeah i just want to let it dry out in my head a little bit because if i go to bed like that or if i start talking to her like that it's going to be bad because i'll get angry and

snappy and it's not because of her it's just because no because that shit sucked yeah it fucking sucked what's the what's the last show that you were like oh I shouldn't like I I went to a show a comedy show nigga I went to go see you my fucking third comedy show ever oh no no no no actually wait a second I went to go see my friend big cam he was doing a show at like a art gallery yeah one of those things you know the open mic no this is venice okay i went by myself like he just he sent me the thing and you know what i mean usually somebody will text you some shit you'd be like oh y'all pull up yeah and i didn't even respond just like yeah i'll see you there yeah showed up and the guy the guy who went before him was saying things that made me think like oh we should laugh at this guy because this is getting bad like he's starting to to go. Oh, he was bombing.

But he was bombing and he starts to go in like a sentimental way of like, I'm not going to give up my dream. You know, and then you're like, then you guys all sit down like, oh no. And he's like, he's like, you'll never take this from me. You're like, bro, you're taking it from you.

It was one of those. And that was like, that was the first time I had experienced third person embarrassment that severe where you're like your chest hurts where you're like oh no it's painful it really hurts and you're just like

I can't even do nothing there's nothing I can grab I can't distract you just break a glass you're like clean this up hold the show you gotta let the ship sink did your boy do well?

every time we've talked about it it's like it was like seeing somebody do their great like oh this is what he's great this is why he's a pro and I'm an amateur

right it's like oh you get paid to do this cause you're great at this I love it I appreciate it that would that dude I'm honestly I'm not gonna get

I've talked to it I talked about it ad nauseum of like I miss that shit so fucking much It's so annoying Like do you miss Going out and touring at all Yeah

You do And it's The thing you miss about it Is what you It's not crazy It's not like you miss like Partying Raging

Cause nigga Touring not like that You miss the lazy days You miss like being with your boys In the middle of fucking nowhere And going like You guys wanna go to Cracker Barrel? By the way,

you know I've been to some Cracker Barrels. It is so funny. It's true. I was talking, the dude that comes with me, this great comic, Chris O'Connor, whenever he comes,

I told him, I said on the phone, I said, I'm not just not, you know, no homo, dude. But I was like,

I miss just kicking it with you. And not even, we don't even need to talk. We didn't do shit. We'd just be sitting with each other. Most days we didn't do shit. And when we were back east, we just walked around

and we were just, we were walking around and he was like, they have this weird ass museum on this side of town that we're near. You want to just go into that shit? And I was like, yeah.

Yeah, because I'm never going to be here again. Yeah, because this is just a once in a lifetime thing. That stuff I miss the most Of like Of the Just like going along And trying new weird shit

There's stores You've never been to You've never heard of There's restaurants Little areas and towns Yeah There's parks There's you know

Views whatever But like Isn't that funny You miss that more Than the shows somehow Yeah for sure So weird Because the shows

The shows at some point They all feel the same You know what I mean You can't Every crowd is different But it's a crowd Yeah You know what I mean? Every crowd is different, but it's a crowd. Yeah. You know what I mean? You're still doing the same shit you were doing last night for the same people or for

the same amount of people. And it's like, that's the yelling thing. You walking on stage and people yelling is something that nobody will experience unless you experience it. You know what I mean? And truly experience it. Me being fucking taco and going to DJ on fucking stage

before T was like, you know, people would yell my fucking name and when you think about that, it's not that crazy because you get used to it somewhat, but like,

niggas strive and strive and work and cry, do all this shit to get that and then like, you get it and you get it taken away from you,

you're like, okay, I'm fine. I'm alright. I'm alright like you get in, you get it taken away from you. You're like, okay, I'm fine. I'm all right. You had it because you experienced it though. Like it's a lot easier to tell somebody, you know, pussies,

whatever they've never, you know, if they've gotten some pussy, but if they've never gotten pussy, you're like, it was cool. And they're like, it was cool.

What do you mean? It had to have been better than cool. It's the only thing I've ever wanted. Well, I was just trying to explain. I was trying to explain this the other night to the old bag, to my lady, that I was trying to tell her about the reason that so many people in entertainment chase the dragon, meaning like they either do drugs or they get drunk or they go party with girls

or they go do some wild shit is because you're chasing this high that you had on stage. Yeah. And even if you don't even know, even if you would go, a performer would go, I don't get high like that on stage. It doesn't really fuck me up.

I don't get, like, even if you don't think you do, you do. You know what I mean? Like, you do. You may not know it, but it just happens. And then afterwards you go,

I gotta do something to like get this thing moving again like I whatever whatever your thing is like everyone has different shit

and that's what I'm scared about acting like you get the bug and then you know I've gone for parts before and I haven't gotten them and I got Dave

and then I was like it felt great but then also I was like fuck I want I don't know if I if I'm okay with dealing with the the other side of this like the bad side of this right I don't know if I'm okay with dealing with the other side of this,

like the bad side of this. Right. I don't want to deal with the denial. Oh, that sounds so scary. Well, let me tell you this. You're lucky also that this show that you made is well-received and is a good show because I got to tell you, man, as a dude today, talking to a dude today, I don't know, and he's like a friend of a friend.

He's like, I recognize you, right? Didn't you do a friend he's like i recognize you right didn't you do he did a tv thing right didn't you say yeah i've done a couple of tv shows and he goes you did this really weird show on abc it was the first sitcom i ever did and he was like it was terrible and it's and that happens all the time is that well people be real with you they'll they'll they they'll tell you when they don't like some shit that you did. When they're like, oh, yeah, I didn't like you on that show. Or they just might not like your character, but that's you. Do you know what I mean? They'll go, that's you.

I don't like you. So at least on this show, you're Taco. You're you. I'm more of a, to me, I'm more like sarcastic on this. Yeah. Like the whole time, I'm just like sarcastic on that yeah like the whole time I'm just like whatever about everything

They're the best, man. Go buy them anywhere in any liquor store. It's probably my favorite sauce to sip on. They are distilled, aged, and bottled by Buffalo Trace Distillery.

you know this but it's a little different for you because you're married but touring you know the the idea of touring especially with a rap collective or group as you say a lot different for comedians yeah than it is for rappers like yeah you're you're wrapped you're with a crew yeah yeah and every girl thinks it's hoes and partying and drugs and sluts and no it's one hoe it's one hoe some shitty ass double tree in orlando and you know what i mean some fucking pizza why yeah but why is it though that like if you want to find trouble on tour with drugs and booze or girls or whatever it's as easy as like there's one person at every show that knows that knows where to get all the it's always like it's like a sign that's like because you have a friend yeah that can do that yeah in at your home like. Like, it's just, that's just your. There's always one cat. There's always one nigga you're like, you got coke in that pocket?

You know that dude's got coke. Get over here, dude. Dog, actually, funny enough, I was in a studio one time. I don't even know. I don't care. He's a great guy. Riff Raff looked at a man. A man had just walked in, was like, I'm about to shake, whatever.

And this nigga, like, turns his head. He's like, you got coke in that pocket? And the guy looks at him like, do I got coke in my pocket? What the fuck question is that, nigga? He's like, stale face. Like, do you got coke in that pocket? Dude was like, you? End of story.

You know I do. Why? You know I do, motherfucker. What'd you do with Riff Raff did you work on something with him no I've just known that dude since I was like 16 from just being around

is he a Florida guy where's he from I wanna say Florida he feels like Florida right I think Florida he's got that lifestyle down he's got that Florida shit

him and like Jason Williams he had like white chocolate the basketball player that's like a very Florida nigga yeah Sacramento Kings I loved watching white chocolate Riff Raff is one of those dudes that for a long time I couldn't tell if it was whitechocolate the basketball player that's like a very florida nigga yeah sacramento king i loved

watching white chocolate riffraff is one of those dudes that for a long time i couldn't tell if it was a joker serious yeah i never knew i still don't know do i i don't i have no idea i think it's i think he's playing into it a lot i think he's subversive he like gets he's meta he gets that he's making a joke about a thing but it's also he lives a lifestyle that he's like i don't give a fuck if you don't like it. Yeah. So there's layers of it, you know? My question is always like, dude,

and you know, when you're fucking 65 years old, what are you going to think about what you've done in your choices? Oh, that's weird. You know what I mean? Like, nigga, my name is Taco for God's sakes. Yeah. I mean, your name is Travis,

but your name is Taco. But like, you know, to a majority of people, they see me going down the street and go, Taco! Yeah. And in my head at 15, that was name is like you know to a majority of people they see me going down the street and go taco yeah and in my head at 15 that was so sick you know right my name's fucking taco bro and at 26 now you're like yeah you at 50 some dudes like taco you're like don't don't do that bro it's the same with me though it's weird it's like people for some reason it's weird because of my name my whole life no one andrew no one everybody called you santino yeah yeah i

don't assign it to me they go santino called you andrew i think that's because it's my middle name though i don't really like using the name now you never call me andrew but also if it's not that people say cheeto they'll go cheeto just because because that's my online bullshit. But I didn't think that was. When I made it. That was like a. This will be a thing that exists. No. For my Twitter.

It was more like. It's fucking my username. Yeah. It's my username. Like my username for. Instagram. Or no. What was it?

What the fuck? Fucking Taco. Fuck that. No. No. No. My old email. My old email. So.

I just got an iPhone. I was 17 18 whatever i was setting it up and it was like you know i'm trying to use like taco at me.com taco at icloud i'd fucking talk about it all taken every every sort of taco name that i've ever used on the internet is taken right it's like what the fuck so you know me you know oh all right well would it fuck what if i said like uh cock loving dude and then it you know and oh, all right, well, would it fuck with if I said like, uh, cock loving dude? And then it, you know,

and then that was my fucking email. What? That it wasn't that specific. Yeah. But it was of those things. Big dicks in the butt at gmail.com. And then one time I emailed my ex-girlfriend's dad on it. You emailed your ex-girlfriend's dad from, uh,

big cocks. Cock daddy. Cock daddy. That was it. At what? At, uh, uh, iloud.com and what was worse about it though is i was talking to somebody about it and they were like dude you got to think about being a white father and meeting your you know your white daughter's black boyfriend

wouldn't a black dad feel the same way nah you gotta think about the porn that they watch oh okay remember always it always ties into the porn you watch somehow. Even the Fuji. So what does white dad porn watch? Oh, come on, man. All fucking... Tranny stuff? All cuck.

Everything cuck. Cuck, black guy, and Asians. And that's it. And then, you know, I walk in the house being goofy with me, and then, you know, when you're a black kid, you pull up with other black kids usually. So it's me, big-ass Lionel,, Tyler and whoever the fuck, like Jasper. And you're just like, you know, you just start running in your head and then the wheels start turning and then you can't turn around.

Four big black dudes show up at the door. They've emailed my daughter. His email is disblackdick.taco I keep thinking about that Like damn I would have fucking hated me Yeah You know

As a dad Do you have any exes who like You look back and go What the fuck Is that every single one What that about them Yeah Cause I always feel like

After I date somebody I look back and I just go like Oh man It's always funny when my It's always funny when like my mom my mom will say some shit like yeah like out of nowhere do you know what i mean like out of some like my mom will do that where she said it recently like uh you know like me and the old bag like we've known each other forever and we've like any relationship we've been all over the place, you know? And when we split up,

we split up one time and my mom was like heartbroken. My mom was, my mom like made me feel guilty. Your mom likes her a lot, huh? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, and she goes,

and she goes, she's just a good girl and she's way better than some of the others i was like what do you mean like what did you hate like you know like you never told me like but she'll say she'll drop stuff like that like she'll be like oh god that girl was the worst and i was like you didn't you never told me you didn't like that girl yeah my mom said something but moms do that shit they just hold it a dad a dad a dad will be like oh man she was the best one you ever had like were you interested bro what was that about moms hold it in for a long time and they have

those like they'll go do with like your son you have expectations for your son and obviously like you right it's the same reason that a dad would be like hard on a daughter's boyfriend i know but it's probably way different like i think about my mom and like weddings like you know my wedding won't be my wedding right my mom's wedding and her it's her and your mom's yeah and i don't even is your sister married no no no but like for instance my sister's wedding will not be my sister's wedding that'll be my mom's wedding and i bet that my mom's wedding was not her wedding it was was her mother's. See, that shit weirds me out so much. But that's normal, though. Yeah, I mean, that's why, look,

there is no man on earth that wants to get married. It doesn't exist. No man goes, I want to get married. We get married because you're like, I want to have a family, and with this human, and if I do, this is the thing that you do to have a family. Because marriage, to most men is like yeah i guess

it's i don't know like no man has like when i'm a kid you don't know no boy is like i have a dream wedding planned you know what i mean and i'm gonna wear a tux and she's gonna be there i think it's like uh especially now though like you know instagram i hate to say it but like the internet's made so easy to just look at people. Yeah. And you don't think about, like, who's in your region. When I was younger, I didn't give a fuck. I knew the bitches that went to my school, and that's it. You know?

That was the pickings. That was it. That's what you had, yeah. And she went to Paul's with me, and, you know, that's it. That's it. That's all. And now it's like, oh, she lives in Europe? I don't give a fuck.

Or she lives in fucking Nova Scotia. Who cares? Airplane. Airplane. It's fucked up but like you know i found the girl and i'm happy and now i'm like all right travis let's not fuck this up she living with you not like no no no hold on let me clarify she's quarantining with me yes uh but i mean she you know she's living with you yeah she's been living with me for some time what

what does it take like what's the hump number for you when you're like all right i'm okay with like being committed to somebody like when you were first starting dating somebody how long is it when you're like all right we're actually in a relationship now we're just like not just dating or fucking around like what was it with her how long did you date it's always a moment it's always a moment that happens it's not time it's not time it's a moment so like a lot of times it's introducing them that gets you fucked uh like i've had that that happened to me before in my past relationship uh the girl that i was dating how it happened was i like was like this is my girlfriend and then it was just like she looked at me like

bitch i'm not your fucking girlfriend i'm fucking so many of your friends and then like now i think it was like you know it just always takes you to to realize somebody to be like i don't even need you nigga you'd be like i love you bitch yeah it was kind of i don't want to say it was like that but it was like you know a moment happened where i was like oh i fucked up well because if Well, because if she's independent enough, it's kind of, it's always attractive. You know? A girl, dude, nobody knows this, but girls who hustle, like a girl with a normal job to me, it's like so sexy. Does she have a normal job?

No. She's a model. Fuck, you're such a dick. Yo, girls that work at CVS, that's my shit. What does your girl do? She's a model. Oh, word. Okay, cool.

So the opposite of what you did. No, no, no. But like a girl who works like... When I was younger, I met a girl who worked at fucking Target. Yeah. Target was gorgeous. Yeah, my buddy's dating a girl that works at Target. He loves her.

She's great. Girl I met at Cheesecake Factory. Still to this day, think about damn she was menu that menu though you're gonna bring home that menu baby wait a minute do you think what do you this is what do you think she's gonna do when she's done modeling though this i always think about that with a model i think about that too at some age you're not modeling anymore but that's see that's the weird thing Where it becomes In my eyes

It becomes my job Not to take care of her And like do everything But like to be like Yo I can set you up With X, Y, and Z So that you don't have to worry about that What does she want to do?

A lot of things A lot of things Yeah but like What is like What's her goal? Yeah And goal is to move to the Philippines And take care of like

Foster children You know what I mean? Oh shit So it's like That requires a lot of money And a lot of financing And a lot of people to do this and that travel yeah so in my head it's like what's a way to make you be able to do that even if i'm not here like even if we don't date i still want you to thrive you know right like i don't want you to be like down and out ever right so in my head it's like i could set you up with x y and z to make you you can make

things that you want yeah or you can you know and then figure it out on her own yeah i don't want to i'm not gonna push you in a certain direction because i think you could do something but help her get there yeah i just like here's the tools yeah just tell me when to hand you a hammer that's wild man that's the opposite with me with me in the old bag i i uh i keep her chained up i'm like you're not doing shit what does she do she she uh she's i don't know she comes home you're like how's work she's like no she won't believe it she's got a great chick a great gig she's a boss bitch she runs runs her own shit. And it's impressive too. It's like worked herself up from the bottom. I mean, dude, we were living together many, many moons ago.

Mattress on the floor type of shit. So broke, dude. We used to joke about it. We were so fucking poor that when we'd go get Burger King on the way back from this job that we were working together. And Burger King, we had a budget. working together and burger king we had a budget bro burger king we had a budget wendy's wendy's ah my brain went we would get burger king but wendy's we had a bunch because wendy's was right near the house i used to live i used to live off a national and the 10 oh so you were right on up by in and out by in culver almost yeah oh yeah well back

well i used to say culver but it's palms oh oh yeah because I went to Palms yeah it's Palms for real that's right that's right there yeah and it was it was it was dog shit back then I mean I don't know if it's nice now

I have no idea but it was so tough it was shitty my car got broken into it was so much bullshit every night like all I wanted to do

was make a little bit more money so we could get the fuck out of there I was like please and she was living in the same neighborhood we had met and it was an accident she was like where do you live i'm like palm i live national in the 10th she's like i live palm and overland or whatever and i was like you're like fuck out of here baseball to your crew yeah it was crazy see you in a week

i'm gonna fuck you later lady but i mean dude back in the day budgeting fast food was always like it's so funny to think about now. Because we would be like, oh, you can only get so much. You know, like I would think about how much that cost. And she started from zero back then and built herself up to her own shit now. Which is what I like. I mean, you know, no disrespect, but Al Madrigal, great comic, good buddy. He used to always say, one headshot per household.

He always used to say, can't have two actors and they can't have two. He's like, you got to do something different. You got to have something different going on. I feel that for sure. Because then you just, you guys are surrounded by work low key. You know what I mean? Like you live with somebody who does the same thing as you. All you guys do is the same thing every day.

Well, then their conversations and your conversation and their friendships and your friendships. Yeah. That's what my issue always becomes is like I bring a girl into my life and she becomes into my world yeah and then once you're in my world and we break up when the world disappears it's like it takes everything from you like yeah you know john and vinnie's you won't be seated as quickly anymore like things like that did you ever have a girlfriend that hated your music have you ever been in a relationship with somebody that didn't like your shit? I never made music, so I never had to really deal with that.

I mean, I've definitely dated girls who've been like, you guys suck. And I've been like, that's cool, because you suck my dick. That's what I mean. I don't know what you want. No, ma'am. You suck. My balls. Nah, I mean, I've definitely met... What do you you say you don't make music you you perform music

you still dj yeah but you still dj music that you've made oh i've had a girl tell me i was a shit dj but she was a dj as well and she opened for me so that was a that was more of a like a mental thing for her to tell me ddd dj asshole and i was just like i got paid money i don't i really don't care about your opinion she said you're not a good dj she said like she like and what makes it makes a shitty imagine if you're a cop if you were on stage and there's always just somebody behind you with a microphone saying shit but not to the crowd just to you like like yeah that joke's not gonna go too far you know what i mean they're reading the jokes some of us might need that yeah when you're djing niggas can see

the shit you're about to play so they could say shit to you that'll fuck you up oh cause when she's in the booth she can see what yeah yeah so she would say shit like I wouldn't play that song

and I'd be like who are what is and you were dating this girl nah I was fucking with her you were hanging out eh yeah

and she was like I'm better than you it wasn't even I'm better than you where is she now I don't even know where are you now Barb lives in New York I'm better than you. It wasn't even I'm better than you. Where is she now? I don't even know. Where are you now, Barb? Lives in New York, I'm sure, somewhere.

Somewhere in Brooklyn, just smelling like shit. There's a million DJs in New York. There's a million. A million DJs in New York, and they all have other jobs. LA, there's not that many, are there? Not enough money here. I feel like this isn't a DJ place. They'll offer you the money that I've been offered to DJ here.

I've been like, oh. Oh, my God. you think I would accept that oh lord in LA oh god it's just not worth it to you it takes time away from life and it's also garbage like DJing a club

nothing worse than top 40 DJing you're just playing radio music there's no creative just get on Spotify and click top 40 imagine if. You're just playing radio music. You don't even, there's no creative, there's nothing. You just get on Spotify and click top 40 and then just walk away. Imagine if you got to a, if you went to a fucking comedy show, they're like, listen, dude, it's only Jewish jokes today. You're like, what?

I'm like, great. That's what I prepared. And I'm ready. No, but like, you know what I mean? It's only, they'll be like, you can only do this. And you're like, I don't even. It's restrictive. Yeah.

It's like, what's the point? Why'd you ask me to here and dj if you want me to only play certain shit i just sent you a playlist and got the money right when you started djing oh my checks were shit it was bullshit my biggest check in the first few months of djing or first like year i'd say it was like two grand i got that for djing a wme party yeah yeah and then some people that's good money yeah yeah for two hours that's great money yeah you're talking about regular americans are gonna kill you for that shit you don't want to know what i get paid you want to go ahead and brag about it no i dj solidine son's birthday party. And Saladin's like, how do I, you know, it's like, just don't even worry about it.

Oh, yeah. I used to be like, yeah, but I know that guy. It's not coming out of his pocket. That's what you always have to remember.

Didn't care. So certain things I'm like, yeah, I'll do you a favor. I mean, I'll make it look better for your job. But next time, ain't going to be no sweet shit. Give me a little bit of paper. Yeah, I just think like that. Knowing your worth type of shit is things you hear for years and then you finally start to do it and you're like oh okay yeah i have to i can't just do things for free or it just becomes too you know i'm gonna call

out sally next time i see him i'm calling him out i can't wait i'm trying to think of who i've like dj'd for and i'll be like you owe taco 150k have Have you ever DJed for someone super famous that you don't know that asked you to DJ for them? That you didn't know prior? Spill it if you got something good. I don't care. I'm trying to think. Burn a bridge. Break a relationship.

I was supposed to do, funny enough, I was supposed to do a LeBron party. At his house? For Halloween. Him and his wife and Dale or something threw some party and they were supposed to do a LeBron party. At his house? For Halloween. Him and his wife and like Adele or something do some party and they were supposed to ask me to DJ and all this shit.

Something crazy. And I didn't end up doing it. And then when I DJed the WME party, the person who went on after me, funny enough, was I think Elijah Wood. DJed?

Yeah. He DJs? This was also like six years ago. It doesn't matter. But now he's probably, yeah. But like, I was just like, I didn't. Everybody's like, it's the dude from Lord of the Rings. You're like.

He's like, what up, Frodo? Can I be real with you? I've never seen that movie before. Me neither. I've never seen any of them. You know, there's like a difference between black movies and white movies? Yeah, of course. Like The Big Lebowski.

Yeah. I've never seen The Big Lebowski. And white people are like, it's the funniest movie ever. What's the funniest black movie then? To me? Yeah. Boo, Madea Halloween 2. So good.

You wrote that? I love that movie. Does he write with white people no really he really doesn't he keeps them in a cage somewhere on his property in atlanta no i don't know man you know all i know is he is a i've gone to see almost every tyler perry movie do you and are you a fan i am obsessed with how poorly they're done i i think i like i know what you mean like they're so bad that i'm they're great they're wonderful you're like watching it just like people and you're looking at everybody else in the theater you're just like oh it's almost like they are in on the joke if you go see a tyler perry movie you're like they know this is bad like i'm looking around i'm always like they know this is bad that's why this is great

they're like if a movie is trying to be good and it flops it's hard to watch but if a movie like that his stuff like he tells you straight up he's like

I have a house built and it has four sides and all four sides are open huh are open no all four sides of it are a different face to a house

and he uses it for you know he just changes, he uses the exact same sets for every movie he's ever done. And it's like, you know he's balling on a budget and he tells you that they're doing it cheap. So when you see it, you go, But his crowd doesn't care. No, nobody gives a fuck.

And I support it because I think it's hilarious to me. Did he ever just stand up? I don't know, but i know he because medea started his plays yes right and i used to when i used to go like my cousin's house they'd be like you got to watch this play and you're like he's he's a dude he's one of those guys he's a sneaky he became a billionaire through just doing exactly what he knew how to do the best way like byron allen you know who byron allen is so funny byron allen does these late night show they're called late with late night with byron allen it's like one in the morning and it's comics round table of comics

and everyone comedy kind of makes fun of it because he goes like he'll go uh taco i uh i heard you're into odd futures you know he like said you're just like oh god and you gotta go let me tell you something about odd Futures you gotta do this weird bit with him and everyone kinda but it's a historic show in the Hollywood scene like a lot of comics

have gone through there and done it and this dude Byron Allen used to open for Paul Mooney and

who's my parents neighbor as well Paul Mooney is? I believe so love him hates white people i love him he's so funny hilarious yeah hates whites makes me laugh so hard hey like like loads whites but used to open for paul mooney and started his own show but again just like tyler perry built an empire quietly did his own thing and now byron allen bought the fucking weather channel bro the

weather channel i didn't hear about this. I heard about this. The only thing I heard was that this guy bought the Weather Channel. And the reason he amassed a lot of his wealth was buying old licensing properties

for music, like libraries. He would buy old licenses, you know, like, kind of like with The Beatles and Michael Jackson, that whole fucking thing. Dude, do you know the numbers on that?

It's, um, fuck. I don't know the specifics. I know it's absurd. Oh, Michael Jackson bought it for like $47 million and when he died, they sold it for like one point.

Yeah, it was a couple billion. A couple billion, yeah. It's like... It makes so much sense, but it's... It's just like, what? Licensing for me?

Who's thinking about that right now? Well, I mean, dude, Byron Allen, he was very smart. He did the exact same thing. He bought a lot of licensing rights to a lot of music, sold off a library, and made a ton of fucking money. Dude, guys like that that have that foresight,

I give credit to. I don't have that bug. Like, for me, it's like, that's never going to happen. I don't want to watch the plant grow. No. I'd rather just buy the plant. Let me buy the plant. It's full.

That's so funny. In my backyard, the dude was like, the gardener was like, he's like, we could get a baby one. It's cheaper. It'll grow, but we could get a full one. And I was like, the gardener was like, he's like, we could get a baby one. It's cheaper. It'll grow, but we could get a full one. I was like, just get the full one. He's like, it's way, way more.

And I was like, I don't just, I don't care. I don't want, I don't have the time. I'm going to be dead. I'm going to be dead. I feel rude when I tell people, when like people ask me questions, like, you know, it costs extra. And you're just like, I don't, I don't care. It's the only reason to make money.

So you can go, I don't, here, now you can have it back. I'm fucking dispersing it through the only reason to make money so you can go i don't here now you can have it back i'm fucking dispersing it through the economy here i'm giving it right back i don't it's hard it's hard not to not to sound arrogant with money but like if anybody made money anybody makes a little bit of money the good thing is using it yeah you're like i want to spend it why would i fucking hold on to it and there's the weird thing where it's like, save all your money, save all your money. It's like, save a lot of money. But bro, don't be the person who saves all their money and then gets hit by a car and you just, you know what I mean?

You still have holes in your sock. He died with 30 million in the bank. It's like, really? He dressed like shit. He fucking, he didn't care about anything. He's like, oh, he was doing hoarding money for no reason. Like the guy. If you don't care about money then don't care about

making a lot of it then don't make money right fuck it then go be a bloke but if you want to make a lot of it then go have fucking fun with it that's

I never understood when people were like appalled by purchases when somebody goes I can't believe they'd buy that I go well why not well if they have it why do you care

what's the difference yeah who gives a fuck that's the only reason to make it yeah what else you gonna fucking do with it? I don't know. Just sit on the money physically? I think there's this scary thing that happened with my parents' generation, which was like...

Money disappearing. It can get taken away from you. You never know. Fucking... There's such... I mean, because they just go through these cycles. And we'll go through it too. Their whole thing was it won't last forever.

Right. Because they saw everything happen and disappear like all the shit that was like you know fucking revolutionary for them just disappear yeah motherfuckers just like oh yeah that was cool dog we on to the next like it's you know it's time passed and so for me it's like yeah i know this shit won't last forever but i don't want to be the nigga who didn't enjoy it while i had it right what's the dumb what's the dumbest purchase you've made ever yeah i'll tell you right now fifteen hundred dollar hermes poncho a rain poncho no it doesn't even do rain it can't get wet it doesn't even it says right on it it don't even do rain hermes poncho it don't even do rain i was 18 years old fifteen hundred dollars on a poncho is hilarious i was hanging It's

The issue is And you know it's fucked up Where does it go In your closet No where is it now My mom It's my mom's I gave it to her

Yeah Cause what the fuck Are you gonna do with it What am I gonna do with it What does she do with it She doesn't even fuck She wears it She'll like take it out

It's for like horseback riders Hilarious It's stupid but like it's tight still you know i mean it's still looking fire yeah but shit like that louis vuitton stuff but i never bought i was never the one who bought like a crazy rolex or anything i have you know my rolexes but like i never went you never bought ridiculous shit no no did your mom was your mom influential on that your mom did your mom never waste money like that nah my my mom's whole thing for me forever was like dude don't spend any like live at home and save money because my mom bought a house when she was 19 shut the fuck up yeah she bought her first house at 19 what was she doing that bought her a house she was a loan officer she started working at like 17 she's 10 she's got a full-time job she bought it yeah she bought her first house at 19 i think 19 or 20 and then my dad moved here from jamaica with you know

what i mean lent in this pocket and he owned like four properties by the time he was 27 28 it's just it was a different time la i know it's so funny to think about like now versus then like your neighborhood where you grew up oh i never i grew up in you know bought my house for 350 grand houses my parents house is worth a lot it's worth a lot enough enough enough for me to not that's that's my backup plan in my head is like oh if all goes to shit i would just go get that house it's funny like my parents house is probably the same price as when they bought it for it's just like that la has this weird if i ever knew about real estate when i was young and i had money i would have bought so much stuff in la yeah i think now knowing a little bit about real estate i would i now am able to do certain shit but still, there's a thought in me that's like,

I gotta wait how many years to make money off this? I know. And that's what really scares me. But I mean, I want to buy a house. I haven't bought a house yet. 26. You're in a house right now.

I didn't buy it though. You're renting it. So what? Yeah, that's what somebody told me. But then I also realized like, it's good to buy it. You should buy it,

I guess. No matter what. If you have the money, you should buy a house. The property is better than giving somebody rent. I have, I don't have my house money. I have,

you know, you have a house money. I have a house money, but I don't have my house money. And that's what, that's the disconnect there. It's like, you know,

26, 26. Yeah. Just turned 26. I'm 36. When'd you buy your first house? Last year. Took me forever. I'm 36. When did you buy your first house? Last year. Took me forever.

I was renting for forever. I moved out here when I was 22, and I bought my house at 35. What was the most you spent on rent? Highest rent you ever had. Four G's. It's not bad. No? What's yours?

Say it. I didn't. Say it, bro. You asked me asked me i told you i've only lived in one spot wait really yeah i moved out two years ago what is it say it is it low is it higher than six no it's low just it's between my rent and okay it's low just it's between my rent and okay look dude

whatever if you got it you got it no yeah $4,000 a month was the highest we spent and that was living in the heart of Hollywood

or West Hollywood because I had to go to this club every night so walking to the comedy store and we wanted a two bedroom two bath for family and friends that would come through

oh see that's the thing I did the two bedroom thing for family and friends but then nobody comes for us it was different you live here bro no one's from she's the thing. I did the two-bedroom thing for family and friends, but then nobody comes. For us, it was different. You live here, bro. No one's from... She's from Denver.

Damn, I don't think about that. So all my homies, yeah, live here. They're from here. For me, it was like everyone would come from out of town, so it was hard for me to... If anybody came in, we always used to have to be like,

you gotta go to the hotel and we'll see you at the hotel. So at least now, we had one room back then to put people in. We're gonna buy you a house. We're gonna get people in. We're going to buy you a house. We're going to get on Zillow after this and buy you a house. All right?

Dude, I want to live in Larchmont, I think. Yeah. People that don't know, Larchmont is like... It's like Beverly Hills for nice people. Or no, it's like the rich version of Silver Lake. It's like Beverly Hills, but without... It's a lot less pretentious. It's like Diet Beverly Hills.

No, just as pretentious. Not like Beverly Hills. It's Hancock Park, so it's even more pretentious because they think they're better than Beverly Hills people. They are better. They are better. That's the difference. Beverly Hills has to show off their money.

They're more, what's it called? They're more grounded, I'd say. Or more... What's the fucking word? Down to earth? Yeah. Humble? More humble.

Yeah. And older. That's like an old ass people. Yeah, you want to be around old whites. I get it. I like it. All right, I got you sweating out. You good?

When I walk off You say one word One word Give me a second One word or one phrase I'm gonna walk away You can look in the camera Oh you need time

To think about it I don't need time To think about it I just know My go to is just there already So it's like I don't wanna use to think about it. I just know that my go-to is just there already. So it's like, I don't want to use my go-to though. Hold the mic up and say it. It's too easy.
