Oh, shit You're supposed to have all the definitions of all this shit, and you don't know what a lesbian is There you go. Yeah. Yes crazy You do everything No, you said fluid. Yes, I mean I meant fluid as in like go with the flow Nothing we say here is concrete be water. We are we are we all adapt the water Bruce Lee Also even fluid is new for us food is absolutely definition watch I don't know that shit really means but when we were younger and there was like somebody who's sexually fluid You're like, well, we had clean it up I finished my part you shot with Jack. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm like I'm like hustling I'm not selling drugs for it tamish like that. So you got a role like you're in for a while Wow So you want Jack's like team? I'm I'm basically selling drugs to him I'm like some like pain pills to him. Yeah, you don't play ball at all. No, no, but you know what I was thinking about like Hesio, they don't want that but I was thinking about how dope like the diversity initiative in Hollywood is because like now white people We get all the cool rules. Yeah, like you guys got to play the squares And I'm out here like selling pills Being That might be true though because it's just like a normalization process, right? Yeah, you guys get to be the squares and then we get to be the cool guys and then we got across the street when we see you So did you have to do any basketball training for the role because when I talk to Jack Training him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was he was actually doing training like every day like we're real NBA players real people We know this dude He had like a specific guy who was like coaching him and also like doing all like the scenes I mean he had done it for other I think movies and to I forgot the guy's name But good dude and he played ball overseas and he was just like a real Hooper And so you had to go out there and show him your your natural born In between, you know in between shots, I might have been putting up a couple, you know Letting people know So is it stereotypical I haven't seen I mean This guy really got rid of Doug Bell is And you know me I'm not just saying cuz I'll come back from a movie with a Murphy and be like man fuck this it ain't me That's what I'm hoping I was saved no no, but I read the whole fucking script on the flight over and this guy Doug Bell This guy who wrote it and it was fucking beautiful and it was like It was yeah, it was like, you know, I always get You know choked up with the father son kind of stuff But like it's not a remake of the same plot of the first one. I mean, it's different characters It's just kind of like inspired by it and and it was just like a beautiful story man Yeah, I don't even know the reason I was hesitant about white man can't jump is because I don't even know if that Stereotype still holds up well Play into that really what I liked about the movie is It gets to talk about race relations without it being the forefront of the conversation like so often I want to talk about race like we just go hey, here's here's a race discussion. Yeah, this is about basketball But when it comes to ball There's gonna be discussions about race, but it's second Yeah, and then you actually are more honest because the race thing is I think we're I don't know about job I think we're almost all exhausted like are we gonna make every single discussion about everything you said obesity is racist this week Say that to me on Twitter saying obese is a slur, and I'm like no it's not Description yeah, yeah, yeah, we got way better slurs Come on cuz we talked about this on the pocket before I actually believed our first ever brilliant idiots was the star shame Enterprise enterprise. Yeah without without with our sister jazz fly I got that day and I we were having conversations about how some forms of shame How else do you tell somebody need to lose weight you gotta tell him Some sorts of same as necessary gets people out. They bullshit. Yes, and who's harsher than the doctor when the doctor says you're gonna die Yeah, that's shame, bro. If you're obese I thought LGBTQ plus I thought the plus was them was That's actually I can see I would I would I would own that if I was them if I was them I would own that we are the plus Yeah, we're the plus that's that's protection. Yeah now you can you say With your thoughts on well that was me because I thought y'all think I was stupid for assuming the plus was that I didn't I don't know What the plus isn't that funny that gay lesbian bisexual trans Parties at the club that week the wild thing about being obese though It's objective because you got some people who big and they love being big and they own it And owning it has nothing to do with the thing that's break that down Yeah, like you can love and own you because that's you but you can still try to Manipulate or change your body or like try to get healthier. Yeah, like loving yourself. Don't got to mean fuck it A lot of people take love in it to being fucked. Yeah, I'm not trying no more imagine how much more you love yourself It's like I love the Knicks And if they won Maybe Biggie or confident when you get then nobody could stop you because you're still confident shouldn't matter on whether you're big or Confident is confident you found a love inside Absolutely, and now you have the outside to match absolutely the crazy thing about being big though And I say this all the time There's not there's going to be a point in your life where your doctor says you have to lose weight Yes, that's it. Yes bottom line point by period So yes, you can you should love yourself. You should embrace who you are You should but at some point the doctor's gonna be like, hey, you might want to lose weight You're close to all the little high. All right. Let me ask you this. Oh, mm-hmm. We just cut came out of coven. Yes co-morbidity number one is Obesity that's number one. Yeah, like not even age is just obesity. That's the only reason they're hearing the words so much That's probably why I saw offensive to them. No, I'm serious. No, you're right. You're right. So now Do you think it is? dangerous of sports illustrated Coming right out of a pandemic that just kills fat people to put a Plus-sized girl on the cover as if this is the standard and she's beautiful Don't get me wrong like you look at her face is beautiful But as if this is something that should be rewarded it depends on thing I'm saying like if it's plus size, but it's a person that's making the efforts, you know I'm saying like if you're a plus-sized model like the effort is to stay Like certain people are just built like that and I think Also, I think we're in a generation Norms are different now Contributes to like how a person's gonna carry their weight. There's like hormonal differences Also, plus-sized and obese aren't the same thing like plus-sized plus-sized obese is My 600-pound life. Yeah, don't quote me on any of this cuz I'm not a Yeah, we don't know I feel like my 600-pound life is obese. I think the terms to is carried by like the attraction level people have If she a big girl, but she hot you call a plus size Because some of these women of y'all think a plus size Like a fluff it out dog That's what I'm saying by the way, I have not seen the sports. It was great a cover So I don't even know who you talking about right now, but but I know there's a difference between plus-sized and obese That's why I think this shit gets true. I'm just industry shit Making love thicker women down south love thicker women. Y'all can't handle that You can't know that you're right. God. What's that right there? No, that's just another thick Hold on a second Then there's like categories And then it's obese Obese is like if you get mad at steps There's some type of like apparatus that helps you take your shoes off without bending down Yeah, you're putting your foot up and I'm like that's just some lazy shit Yeah, that's that's when you get to that point where you can't take your shoes. Yeah, shout out to the thick So I do I do look at a fat Obese people whatever the term is I look at bigger people now with more concern than anything though You know, we all got we might have homeboys. That's a little big I don't you know not because we all know that they everybody knows it's just like smoking cigarettes. We know We all make they be everybody making a choices. Yeah, you can tell a motherfucker to go come work out with me They don't fuck you. No, I heard shit like that. Like, I don't know You say go get the surgery certain people that you know that you love that, you know a little heavy set You see him in the gym. Like, bro, it's a surgery and then Especially if you get money if you get money just go ahead and get the surgery because you want to live You want to be here? Yeah, they gotta do the lifestyle changes. It ain't gotta Just a surgery ain't gonna last until you know, yeah, you're gonna put it right back on Yeah, it is the way you doing shit that you got to alter but shout out to all those beautiful thicks out there Yeah, I'll let me call it thick women all the big men. Thank you. You know, I'm saying they can't be dear You know, it's so crazy the fact that y'all just added, you know obese people to the list of folks that want to take comedians The stage you would like it Listen Dave Chappelle, right? Yeah, the guy Isaiah Lee. He says he committed The crime that he committed rushing the stage because he's bisexual and he was triggered by Dave Chappelle's Joe and he said that I guess he was molested when he was younger to see that triggered by Dave Chappelle's pedophile jokes as well Have a question for you two comedians And it's a legal question should this be considered a hate crime. Yes a crime. It's a hate crime, right? Now why is it a crime I think it's a crime because it's premeditated right and you hate the thing That come out of my mouth, which were the jokes and you targeted a group Oh, you're targeting Okay, then it's a crime. It's a crime against comedians But even if even if it's rooted if it's rooted in hate I think it should be considered a crime to me. That's rooted in hate. You didn't like his jokes He felt triggered by his jokes, which I understand but just because you feel triggered don't mean you can react on your triggers with violence Yeah, you know what I mean, like if it was the other way around I don't understand that shit. That whole triggered like why just your feelings special Well, I don't know if it's just him. I just think he acted on what the The amount of fuckery jokes I hear all the time from all kind of people. Yeah, I Let it rock. I'm just snuck this nigga now Why the fuck just your feelings everybody got different triggers though. Fuck them. What are your triggers? I don't know until I hear them. You know what I am. I'm like, that's really What is something like a joke you heard about you where you're like, ah, fuck man. I heard a dad joke once Yeah, it was like some, you know dead dad joke and I was like, all right. Oh your father passed. Yeah See that's rough. But I just held I was like, all right They made it to you directly. Yeah, they had the joke shot it at me. I'm like, all right Well, what I'm gonna do hold off and just hit this nigga was dead. Yeah Yes, you had every right It wasn't a rose. He wasn't you were not It wasn't a I see a no. No, it wasn't on stage. No He was just in front of you just someone wanted to hurt you bad Yeah, it just rose just joking this shit and that's what they shot off with that's justifiable And I'm like, if you know, my dad was deceased and you still let a dead dad joke rip What joke did you say to him where he had to go to that world already born? That's a great. I don't even I don't even you must cut him deep. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, probably not No, some people just are they a comic? No No, it was just some it was some shit like dead dad. I don't remember the joke I just like I guess I shut it out or some shit. Yeah, I just looked my That's that's the trigger and then I just let it that was a trigger But that's the thing though. I am triggered now what But that's the thing some other gonna come from me if I you you just say some wild shit about him He's in your court like you're doing comedy. How low is the goddamn limbo bar? Can you go lower than that? Yes? Yeah No, but I'm a maniac with that like if I feel like someone's crossed the line like I just it's I go nuclear I go nuclear. Oh, those your mom. Yo, those your those parent jokes Back when they used to say your mama your mama. Why I don't know My mama did you like I'm thinking of the last thing that triggered me last thing I got triggered the other day on social media what happened Because van tweeted oh boy. All he tweeted was at least i'm not short And you know what's so funny do boss in it to me, right? And the boss up to volume you up. I probably shouldn't be saying. Yeah, boss. Hey, ain't even got no hoes You're talking no reason I'm like, well, he's engaged. I'm defending band. I'm trying not to act tricky, but then I'm like you and you are What the fuck would you just tweet? And that's not even something I think about I just want to know why are we on your mind? Yep I knew what it felt like to be a marginalized person I mean I already do but I really felt like that in that moment like why are you shooting at short people for no reason? Yeah, you know, yeah, he feels like he's better than you bro He's like one of them poor whites is racist One of the capital rides getting arrested getting out But I do think that's a hate crime I think Isaiah Lee should be charged with a hate crime and I I'm I'm shocked. What about what about van do you think it should be? That's uh, hey, that was a speech. Should we get him off twitter? Should we talk to elon about that? Does elon really own twitter? Uh, not yet. That might be cap, bro. I don't think he wanted it I might be I never thought it was a good purchase to begin with Twitter don't even have like twitter's not even like a top 15 social media app when it comes to when it comes to uh user base user base What you mean? I mean, it's like they have they have the least user base of like 15 other I don't know user bases number number of people on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like in the 300 million range And what's had what the fuck but how many people around the world can like say what they feel Do you know what I mean? Like twitter in Saudi Arabia isn't lit Right. It's just like yo, the prince was doing cool shit again Yeah, like oh so much oil came out today. Thank you All right, though, can you really say what you want in America? Yes, then just called you and your whole tribe of people Your little kebler elf community. He called you and all the people who live in a tree with you He said that by the way, I wouldn't have minded the tweet with some context What the fuck you shooting at? No add no nothing It's because people are probably coming at him You know, what did he gain weight or something oh, man. Yeah, and the amount of time Yeah, the amount of times you make fun of fat people, bro. That's a book from come on You're a savage. No, it was called fat crazy Man is always working out and he's got the sweatsuits on This motherfucker is always like, you know, they got to put the music is y'all flipping it this way He said put the missy miss to me Man sent out a uh He sent out a video from the group chat of him boxing to the group chat, right? And he said it was like it was me glasses were low on the head and I go yo I go yo, you got to take your shirt off though. Show the back fat Oh my god, listen, uh walmart discontinued the juneteenth great value ice cream. I know you was gonna get you a gallon I've seen the juneteenth come fucking commodity. I'm not I literally had a fucking joke that I put out last year. Okay About how it's gonna be uh, there's gonna be juneteenth discount soon. Oh, yeah, and three fifths off everything And uh, they'd literally Yeah And then this year they fucking do it what did we think was gonna happen in america everything every Holiday or event tragedy or not. There's gonna be a sale attached to it We need to talk about this man and the reason we need to talk about this is because Do you want it to be a holiday or not? Hold on isn't juneteenth shouldn't juneteenth be like about freedom? No, the end of sale You really want to celebrate juneteenth you got to not sell anything in your store that day Or give a discount a real discount like free like no, you gotta be free buy black get one free or something like that What? Anything black You know anything that the color black speakers there if you could roll these tires above the mason dixon line I'm serious. I just feel like What did we expect? It's a holiday now There's not a holiday in america that is not monetized no matter what it is no matter what it is How fucked up who got shot who died if it's a tragedy They're gonna find a way to make some money off of it. I don't know who sells the single demile stuff There's gonna be 15 off somewhere That 50 percent off coming that means a lot to us 15 percent Any any discount motherfuckers will pull up regardless. Yeah, it's so true america won a sale Maybe we love that. So how could you monetize juneteenth stuff without offending without being while being hacked? I don't think so. I don't think you monetize it. Well juneteenth is the end of slavery, right? Yes. That's when this is This is the official end, right? No It was like a day of freedom in texas But all black people to celebrate No, but it's based off the day of freedom is based off Yeah, but it was specifically for texas though But they were celebrating the freeing of slaves. It's not the emancipation proclamation This is it's not the date of the emancipation proclamation. It's the date that slaver is officially outlawed Yeah, they commemorate the emancipation of enslaved african-american june 18th 1865 june 19th june 19th 1865 1865 okay on 19th 18 Yes 18 for 19 one of them. I think it varies, but Juneteenth feel like i'm just stopping No, it's the 19th. It's june 19th. It's june 19th june 19th. Okay, so so it's not just the day in texas nilo It wasn't just some shit about like they they lied and that was the wrong date I think it was free earlier and then they told them later some shit like well in 1863 Uh, lincoln goes yo slavery's over didn't tell nobody black. Well, no, but he did it He okay, so that the north and the south are beefing, right? The north slavery's already over. Yeah, so then he says yo Slavery's over everywhere and the south is like we're our own country. You can't tell us what to do, right? The origins hold on one second because it's cross talk if you we're both talking at the same time, you know We've been doing that the whole podcast What I had to say I was showing you on the phone But you No, no, no over talking means like if we're talking if you guys You were doing that earlier as well over drake telling the story to sharlemann about some sneakers or some shit You was over talking You tk kirk then come on here and make all these rules about podcast Over talking is maybe I use the wrong word, but if too Yeah cross talking Over talking is what we do on this pocket Was what we do for a living so do that, but if you guys are having a separate conversation Then it's hard for the listeners. Yeah, you know I'm saying we're talking about the same thing We can over talk. Yes, please Cross talk like it's like we're talking about this and you start talking about Gatorade Exactly. I think back to uh, that's back to june team our favorite day And it just makes it that much more heightened doesn't it? Uh, so yeah, so they were basically like yo slavery's Outlawed and then the south is like we talking about we're our own country and then 1865 when they you know got their ass kicked Then they're like, all right fine. All right Exactly what knowledge saying june team was originally celebrated in texas on june 19 1866, but That was the first anniversary of the day that african-americans. They're first learned of the emancipation property So that just happened to be the area that they found out first two years after it was Initially issued they got the memo late for whatever reason I didn't say Texas is a big state Yes, it's hard to get information to spread, you know to everybody back then might it took two years Yeah, I think that uh If any if people were smart what they should have done for june team They should have just collaborated with like black owned brands and black owned products The only problem I have is I didn't even know they had great value june team ice cream And this goes back to something I said years ago. It's just like why do we always lift shit up with hate You know what I mean? We always talk about the things we don't like So much Who owns ice cream that is actually black owned? I saw jasmine brand posted today. I can't even remember their name I just saw that they posted it to say hey, you know If you're looking for some ice cream to actually support support this ice cream I mean, it's a black owned brand. See if you find that no go directly to the people Maybe that's all it is just partner with black people on how to do these things because it's not like I don't want june team decorations Shit, that's what you think. I like do you want that though? I'm just celebrating june team Is it I so I'm gonna celebrate. It's just such an odd sneak sneak of people They be doing uh, like when february all around black history month sneakers come out black The second to come out they got niggas with the fist on you I was literally thinking about that. I was like, okay, so they're mad about the great value ice cream I guess I can understand why but what about black history month? they do mad like Shit, you go pay ball in They put black history shit on it. That's why you need bt yo And the reason I say this is why you need bt because this is what you used to see all the black history month commercials Okay, what are what are celebratory things? Right, uh, july 4th is a celebration because you like won your independence What are other things like I mean Christmas, yeah, like Thanksgiving. Yeah, yeah, like I don't know for me. It's like how do we How do we uh celebrate Hold on A lot of crosstalk. That's a train wreck right there. Just in the middle of the podcast just here Oh, look green. Oh dairy free Okay in new Orleans Oh, these are black home brains ice cream. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Good. Okay What about if it's not about celebrating brands? What if it's about celebrating cultural contributions because When I think of like the holidays we all get to participate in like you think of like sing patty's day It ain't just iris people doing that or even Cinco de Mayo. So it's like Black people love black people have so much cultural like relevance and contributions Why don't we just market holidays around? Those things All we wanted to day off is some drinks and some good food. Why are we acting like why are we acting like we're we're really Any of these I mean don't get me wrong if you're black is then it's fire because then Go go a lot of these holidays. We really shouldn't be celebrating anyway Because they're just bullshit fucking marketing places. They're bullshit or they're just really not in favor of us Thanksgiving, why are we celebrating because there's food and drinks? We know the history of things Happy to have some food. Cinco de Mayo. I don't know what Cinco de Mayo means other than this, mexican I don't know the meaning of it every but i'm gonna eat me some tacos and drink me some tequila Because I love tacos and tequila it also offered it gives you this opportunity of a small window where you get to kind of like Embrace an excuse a different culture. Yes. Yeah, and it's like I don't know why don't we take these cool cultural contributions that black people have made to america And that are part of like the fabric that is america and then build holidays around that So that we're not constantly celebrating black trauma. It's like juneteenth is more black trauma. Everything is black trauma It's like Thanksgiving is native american trauma. It's it's fucking Not really No, we were eating bro after that was traumatic. Well, like no they ate with us. They taught us how to eat the shit Corned you know, they white people didn't know what corn was but then they took them out That's the leader dawg. We're not celebrating later Don't talk about that. Yeah Why do you all bring up old shit? Because native americans hate things here says who? No, you have one on the podcast My god, you got me flute the queen. You're not the i rock with the native americans, man No, no, i fucks the native americans I'm just trying to say like it'd be cool if we celebrate Things that everybody's excited about and proud as a country Yeah, like marty gross fire, right? Because the whole city gets involved. You get to tap into this I have no no idea I bet you we could dig and find something that be like, ah I don't know what marty gross, but I'm yeah But I imagine it's like this amalgamation Say what? You want to Don't tell don't tell van that we said phone the fact Everybody's saying this Yo van Hold on you on the podcast. I got uh, andrew and uh, andre. I don't know if you ever met andre Listen, what's the history of marty gross real quick? Does it sound like you working out? Oh, no, I'll yeah, I'll just finish boxing. What's the history of marty gross? Yeah Oh, it's a religious situation like um, it's celebrating Uh, it's like a celebration before lit here in america Like basically a capricious here in america's first marty gross was actually Not in the world was a mobile alabama um And then because of the rich influence and the Haitian influence and the spanish influence Became probably the biggest one But it moves around with the with the christian catholic calendar. So, okay, so a big celebration before lit So what we're saying is we could basically with most holidays You probably could find something that you don't agree with to not celebrate it. What if i'm boycotting catholic priest Well, I mean the reality is you don't even need boycott catholic priest to To uh boycott marty gross catholic church And um a lot of culture that exists in new Orleans right now You should begin fucks with slaves that came before the new Orleans So if you were like fuck slavery, you would not have to celebrate marty gross Like, you don't even need the fact that the priest Fuck a little boys now There's myriad reasons you can decide that marty gross something that you really want to celebrate See That's some shit. There used to be some hot shit. What about halloween? Well, get back to work. I'll get you back That's why you gotta have a fat friend You know what i'm saying that's why your kid clowning him for not moving around but he's moving he's reading books Listen, I didn't know they had all these ice creams hood cream york castle ice cream company Ruby scoops ice cream and sweets goodies frozen cut. Oh, they got to do menthol and chip If they wanted if they wanted to do an ice cream They should have collaborated with one of those companies nobody would have had a problem with it And why would you have ice cream for juneteenth knowing how many black people are lactose intolerant? Yeah, it just doesn't make sense Like celebrate contributions dude that that'd be fire I gotta like admit love and admiration for what black people gave to the country. No, they don't That's what i'm saying. I think that's what's missing Which is why they don't have those types of celebrations But when the celebration is so fire, you just want to take part of it that fomo kicks in Like nobody is admitting love and admiration for a single day mile But they're like I need to be part of this shit. It's fire same thing with same patty's day Same thing with christmas like I think y'all are both saying the same things right because I think we need new holidays and new tradition Because clearly there's so much, you know negative stigma and things we don't know about attached to a lot of these things I didn't know that's my idea So with dreah saying like yo, let's start celebrating the contributions life He was made like that would be dope if we created a new tradition But everybody's celebrating Major botanists, but they don't even bring that shit up. It's just peanut butter. They just talked about peanut butter Everything Ridiculous like your national hip-hop day would rip that should be a thing And we celebrated hip-hop in all hip-hop's contributions to american and world culture Hip-hop's birthday. It's like august 13th or something. Let's celebrate it. That'd be a big day They have like jazz fest and like jazz week and a bunch of different parts of the world, right? Yeah, and clearly this is black cultural influence, right? Yes, and it's a dope festival I think they do it up in montreal I think they have another one down in new orland stuff like that like they do right So it's like people are already doing it. It just really takes a little bit more organization and going Hey, this is really important to why america is the way it is But it needs like a coach like a overall Appreciation for it is walmart to go.

You know what I'm saying tv is we all know tv's not what it used to be Yeah, you know, so They call it tv programming. Okay for a reason. Yeah, you have a program And sometimes you got to trust The programmers. Oh, you know what I mean? Oh, maybe I mean using your name Definitely That's what I would do definitely, but the crazy part is it's in there It's I guess maybe it's two repetitions the gods on this truth wish y'all to mean the god by the time like At least for me when I'm scrolling on tv, which I haven't done in a while But like you only have so many characters you're gonna see the first thing I want to see is The guy's name who's more famous than the network most likely So like I think you like who else is on economy central right now that's bigger than you. I mean others Oh, yeah, trevor and then tosh Aquafina but like what I'm saying is like your your fame will bring so much attention to your point So it's called aquafina is Okay You know what I mean? Yes, like if you were making a youtube fucking title, are you gonna put let's say you're sitting down with drake All right, are you gonna have drake be the last fucking thing on it or is it gonna be drake says this So every single person on that scroll sees drake. Okay. That's what I'm doing. So you just answered your own question Charlemagne's honest You know, um, but salute the uh, I want to salute the the hollywood reporter the hollywood reporter. Um, they got their their um, annual new york issue was out right now. I think um Uh, I think sarah sarah jesca parker and her husband are on the cover. Oh, yeah, mafio broadrick mafio broadrick Yeah, yeah, you know ferris bueller bro legend. Come on, man. That's a legend. I know how you look familiar This guy's unbelievable. I know I'm looking at it. I'm like, yo, why does sarah jesca parker husband look so familiar? I know I'm like the same as the big I'm like, who is this? That's fucking ferris bueller, bro He's holding down. You got the graze. I didn't yeah, you're right. I'm like, oh But I but I did say I was like whoever that is looks good Like that's like whoever that is people are going to look at that and be like he's aging well Yeah, and I can say now ferris bueller is aging. Well, yeah Yeah, but they uh, how important they put out their new york issue and they named me one of the uh top 35 most powerful people in media in new york city So that was thank you. That was that was that was cool and I'm here Very very and and it's dope and because i'm not gonna lie. I didn't realize I never realized what those lists do bro. What's that? um Should change after the list came up those list change really like what what do you mean? Do The opportunities and the requests that come through after stuff I know i'm not gonna lie. No, but no, you know, we sitting there all the time and we Hey, we don't you know, we don't care about that kind of like I get it. I get why people care about being on that kind of shit. I can only imagine what being on the times Oh, yeah power 100 list got you because yeah Like these executives of these major companies I'm sure you're doing deals with or like getting opportunities for old school corporate hollywood Maybe and they just have to organize the world in some way. They can't be on youtube all day seeing They get the times they have hollywood reporter. They have these other things go. Okay. Who are the influencers in the market? Okay, let's talk to them. Let's do that. That's right. It's like this old school Corporate hollywood. It makes sense. They still that's their thing. You know what I mean? That's what they see. So it's just like Oh, I mean, I'm sure if like you're on the top 30 on the 30 list or something like that for businesses I bet you jp morgan the next day calls you and the banks call you and they're like, hey, how do we work well together? But yeah, that makes sense Well, good for you. I like that times list to the reason I like that times list is because it seems pretty balanced Times or hollywood reporter hollywood reporter too, but definitely but the times The times list seems very balanced and I'll tell you why because they'll salute an icon like mary j blotch Okay, what she deserves. They'll salute somebody like quest love. He's having a phenomenal year But then we and under the influence they had like leadership Okay, had putin bro They had to have they had the president Guess who's on there with them Rogan, yeah, like literally with putin rogan And do you use like history metric metrics? They're talking about like Influence bro, that's what I'm saying rogan back in 1800s could take a country over. Oh, he's I think I think time someone looked this up if I'm not saying I think time put hitler on Really, I think he was can you look that up to see if he was one of them? And it's not like who's the good guy? Who's the bad guy? Objective shit. It's who I yeah, I think Well, I'm sure the context of hitler wasn't in a positive. No, no, it's never I mean like but the fact that you have this type of influence or you're I don't know if it was man of the year or something shit like that, but like yeah But you can't lie about you could put out listen act like this motherfucker who is waging war and you're And they had the president in ukraine on it too, but I'm just like wow and I'm Say again 1938 so this before world war two any context they put them on I think they gave him like fucking man of the year or some shit. No Yes, bro. This before world war two Man of that right there 1938. Yeah, well time magazine That looked like one that might come back down Times were different back then. Oh, were they Yeah, no those excuses But I just like the fact that you like you said you can't deny certain people's influence I would influence disagree with their politics. You might disagree with their point of view, but you cannot deny their influence 100% Hey, um brindan langley Know who that is that throwing a bell. No, you didn't see brindan langley getting into a fight at you at the Newark airport Yo, yeah No, EWR something something like bag checking niggas smack them A young hispanic fellow, I think he was hispanic, right? I think so. Yeah, can you imagine he had to hear Knocking him the fuck out. No, can you imagine somebody a flight somebody at the airport smacking the shit But over what like why would That's what I'm trying to understand like I watched the video he was like laughing Yeah, the dude smacked him and then son was like, oh brindan brindan said you see what he did. That's what I like He bought awareness to this picture. Did you see what he did? Because I need more than me as a witness I need to see what happened. I wish he ended up on this cooking conveyor belt though. Yeah He almost hit him And then But i'ma tell y'all something even though all that was justified Because uh, he did slap smack brindan. That is pain, bro That fucking airline worker was fed to fuck up about something for you to get into your A customer's face and smack the shit out of him for what? Yo, I mean, I don't know alec baldman said the guy working at the airport is the victim That's what he said He came to work to do a job the other guy with his big mouth is guilty of workplace abuse Not where people come to work with an expectation of safety and even civility Oh alec baldman said yeah, yeah the shooter Safety and come to work Somebody at work.

I can do it because y'all want me He's really zero remorse. That's different Really? Yeah What did he talk about the incident?

I am almost positive that if you work at the airport You know you're getting screamed at Yeah, you know somebody gonna be mad about it. I gotta know what he's saying I gotta know what he's saying. Who I gotta know what the black dude said to the hispanic He probably just wanted to fucking book me on another flight. Oh Some silly Spanish dude probably is one of them type of people that does that shit. That's like, uh, I'm just doing my job Like they take too much pride in a little power and get a little carried away Somebody brought him back Not stereotyping here, but he said something a little more spicy than that Because if you step up into a black person's face like that and smack them Also, you was talking spicy before Jersey like come on bro. There's no way and he's a former NFL player who? Brendan the guy who beat the dude up Yes Yo, that's a yeah. Yeah.

That's why I can't be around people that don't want to laugh That's literally a problem with the world that we live in right now. They want to talk to me so serious That's right. You took one step back and just decided let's laugh like He's not trying to finish he's not trying to But that that's the thing you got to have humility to do that and I think people that want to laugh They get that they okay with the idea that I don't know everything Yeah, and and that's I like I don't hate you bro. I might just be dumb. I might just not know what the fuck What's your thing is I don't got nothing against you. I just don't know Yeah, that's a real good point drink because a lot of us express our insecurities through humor Yeah, like I'm sure that I don't know I make a joke about you know, I mean I'm a self-deprecating Before you look at me like a dump. That's right. That's right And then you don't feel dumb because you're really not if you're just asking the question here at meeting I don't know. Yeah That's why like the idea of like when people get mad at you for not knowing everything. It's like son The fuck I don't like that much time. Yeah, I can't know all of your shit Yeah, yeah laugh is just powerful man It's just so it's such a likable tool like does the other day george bush is on stage and he's trying to criticize Vladimir Putin and he's basically like there's a dictator There is like oh, no, there's a leader with authoritarian control is invaded Uh, you know another country aimlessly. I can't believe what happened in iraq. I mean Ukraine And then he goes he goes iraq too He goes he goes i'm 75 and he kind of like he makes people laugh at a horrendous thing that he is responsible for We're crucifying Putin for Well that we're crucifying for doing the exact same thing, but we're laughing at george bush. Exactly But but not funny Who and don't slap no come on some jokes You ain't got no jokes, bro. You ain't got no bars, you know, i'm Putin funny. Yeah, bush wasn't funny. No, bush was always Yeah, bush was hilarious He was reading a fucking book upside down to a kindergarten. I didn't want somebody to ask him why Bush was so funny. The fact that the fact, you know, we're gonna get him now watch this drive Do you remember that when he was playing golf? Just his just the impersonation when people do the squint Like that's that thing is he's just funny, bro. Yeah, listen. Do you remember the first time you bombed? Oh hell yeah First on my bomb It's it's like, uh, I love Bones be funny, especially as a comic when you watch your homie die up there Yeah, so that's the funniest shit when he's killing this like all right, son get your money Do your thing, but you watch your homie pass.

It's also all comics in the crowd, right? So that open mic and y'all are Y'all are Not only No, but not only are we bougie and elitist like all those comics got to go up So they're thinking about what they're saying. They're also nervous. They're anxious. They're like, oh, I gotta get this right Oh, what am I gonna do for this bit? So it's like the worst energy in the rooms to actually write jokes But you need to get comfortable on stage as a comic the comedians take the time to laugh Yeah, yeah, that is definitely if you're nice, you're nice They'll tell you comics will definitely tell you like yo that thing you said about the uh, that's your heart. Yeah Like they'll tell you they'll give it up.

He's doing that. Like there's no metric where they match He the only way there's some people in the in the room somewhere. They're just like, all right, how can we piss off black? Yes? Yeah Taylor shows the video I know you can't see that that's why I need context Homeless No, it's a clip. Okay.

Yeah, he they just got a dude who's lost Trump or Malcolm X. Yeah He picked Malcolm X. I thought you said Martin Luther King jr. Taylor Malcolm X Hello Oh, that was an ask an idiot question. Yeah, what's wrong? Oh, I thought you were just telling us about what's trending Yeah, but that was from twitter or something. Okay. Give me a note. What's another asking idiot? Um, one thing from your childhood, you love either Oh, what one thing from your childhood you love either I know I know charlotte's Why don't you leave or remove relive or remove yeah, I don't want to relive shit from my childhood I'm trying. I mean, that's why I'm in therapy all the goddamn time now. What would you remove jerry curl juice jerry curl juice I think that messed me up more getting molested. I messed me up more as I got older I think I would have more of a relationship with my father when I was young But I mean, but that's that's based off the things I know now about myself and about him The work I've done in therapy if I could go back I would Change the dynamics of that relationship. Yeah, you know what I'm saying Uh as opposed to him saying don't don't don't do as I do do as I say You know the one thing that parents do that's fucked up at least my friends I'm not gonna speak for our friends and not my mom really really the dad is when A kid asked a question Don't do that. Why? Oh, yeah, no answer because I said so I don't really do much that don't teach you shit Yeah, I grew up with that, you know what I'm saying it doesn't teach you anything and you don't learn that until you get Older like you didn't teach me nothing. So it's like now when I when I got kids like another day my my three-year-old She wasn't feeling well He's sitting right here in front of me and she just stands up and she just throws up And I'm like, yo And she just throws up again and I go yo you can I scream her name and she starts crying because she's not used to Me yelling. So then I gotta apologize I apologize to you I apologize to you I didn't mean to yell at you. You just startled me when you started throwing up like that I said you have to let me know When you're sick let your mama know when you're sick and if you do feel that way Go stand in front of the toilet. You know what she did for the rest of the day stood in front of the toilet She went and stood in front of the toilet. So that so so instead of me just Back in the day my father would have just yelled Maybe clean it up with my hand Maybe clean it up with my hand and then just been barking at me That's what I would do. I would go change the dynamics of that relationship by demanding I'd be taught something That's like going going back in time But with the knowledge that you have now though. Yes. Yeah, which doesn't work What would you what would you relive or remove? What do you got bro? Or would I relive or remove? Uh I don't know what I read would I don't know like certain holidays. I guess where everybody was home Feel like I remember like when I was younger There'll be like holidays would be more full People cared more like the house would be packed more. Yeah, it's not like that now Everybody's older motherfuckers move pandemic people in different states people some people pass, you know, so like it ain't Christmas ain't the same type of Christmas what that it was when you was like 9 10 are you Jamaican, right? Yeah. Oh, so you missed like fucking curry in the goat That's like the Jamaican catcher in the ride A coming of age story Bond all right, we don't bond over curry goat, but We did kill chickens But it was just to go cook. It wasn't no like get the family together. We about to have a moment It was yeah dinner's close and they could go get that dealt with bring it in. Yeah Situate this yeah, it wasn't no all that stuff is bonding bro. Say what you want. We don't do enough bonding activities Yeah, I used to run or I used to chase the chicken with my grandmother. Oh, yeah, so she can grab it and P. D. Pablo that True though snap the neck, you know what I mean snap the neck then cut it off Where do you go later? Where's your grandma learn how to handle a cock like that? Yeah That's a funny joke Listen, that's a funny joke triggered my man. No That's a hilarious joke. That's by the way, that's a joke. That's the kind of joke you make with friends What Man, what I want to relive from my childhood What I want to remove from it Hmm It's so weird because now like I look at the world like uh Like marvel universes So i'm like well if this thing that's embarrassing didn't happen Yeah, do I not get here? Yeah. Yeah, so i'm like I do I get to remove it and still be here and then i'm sure there's a bunch of like times where like I did something that doesn't like connect with my like ethics or morals. Like I was like I was bad I should have even if it's a stupid thing like I just maybe was embarrassed I could have treated that person nicer or this kind of thing. Yeah, but at the same time I'm like I enjoy where I'm at right now. What about like a reliving then Yeah, removing something. I think that's when you get older. I think it's like I'm 38. So I'm now. I'm just like, yo, let's run it back again, man. Yeah What would be the point and cool? What would be the point of reliving when the whole point of life is learning? So if we if we go back with everything we know now when we were young Well, you can have a better impact than you. So like if you did this with the knowledge that you had at this time And this was the first try and you fucking knocked it out the park. Yeah Imagine if niggas had a game manual. Yeah, and this is time to and i'm still not gay. That game though That too though All right The reason I say that is because simply like If I go back I might think I know it all But you thought that the first time That's how young works. Yeah, I don't know if I thought I knew it all but I oh no, that's a good point Drake. I don't know if I thought I knew it all But I I knew I didn't know enough that I had just one thing I did know and that was this shit gonna work Yeah, I ain't no shit else. Yeah, but I'm gonna do this radio You don't think that's more like a like an innate feeling because like I feel you with that on stand-up Like I remember telling my family I was doing it and they would like Try to put they'll be slipping all kind of fucking job applications that in my door and shit And like everybody's asking when you going back to school when you're gonna take something serious And it's just like I remember crying over this shit over doing comedy like this shit It tugged the emotions thing. I was doing whatever and anything to make it happen But it was only like uh Like I didn't know how I've read nothing I didn't know no past that ignorant. I'll do that ignorance is bliss because if you had too much information You might have talked yourself out of being a comedian. You you might have been realistic Like nah, you can't do comedy. Yeah, you know, I should go get a job I just ain't going to work. Who do I know? Yeah, that's the comedian But that's the thing that's more so if I'm looking at you differently versus just doing it again But with the knowledge that I have now I'm still applying the same knowledge to this lifestyle Live or whatever. It's just that I'll be able to make more intelligent decisions earlier Yeah, you know what I mean and get to things a little better It's life about intelligent decision It ain't about the dumb shit because I should hurt every time you make them Did it though? But maybe it gets you where you are. That's what I'm saying Like if it didn't hurt you wouldn't change it up That's the thing about all the stuff we learned from yeah, you know I'm saying there's a lot of dumb shit that we did that we learned from and it really got us In the direction we needed to be but I guess if you're going back and you already know not to make the mistake I don't know. I think you have to make these mistakes, bro. I really don't I'm at that point in my life Some mistakes you could learn from other people's shit. Like yeah, I got Not everybody looks like that though Like I feel like mines would be I wish I did more dumb shit early on because now I'm too grown to do dumb shit Yeah, because the stakes are too high. Oh, but see your dad was in the military and your mom Yeah, but it was like heavy discipline. So I didn't really get time to do dumb shit you want to do What's the scars you want to get? What All I think what a woman said there because it's like most of the times How do I injure myself more? Like I was so when I moved here so focused on trying to get into the industry I always work and I always had internships. I didn't really party much. You're a dj though. All right So yeah, I'm working the party. I'm not getting fucked up meeting people Like suppose this that's a different outcome because with that comes of course you partying every night. You might have You might look different. You drinking heavy as fuck. You might that's true. You might you know, it's a different lifestyle Okay, well party younger in high school like get that out of me that way now. I don't feel like I miss the face Break some rules. Yeah, break some rules. That's really what it is. Yes, you obey the rules and Don't pull a fire alarm or some shit I'm gonna lift it up. There's thousands in here You grew up in a strict household. I'm assuming Yeah, I mean my parents are young with their strict So you obey the rules and there's a little party that's like, I wish I rebelled a little bit But you're also at an age right now where like if you rebelled now it could really kind of fuck up your life Exactly. Yeah rebellion is like not paying your rent Yeah, yeah, yeah, like just not texting back your dad now is is not really rebelling But that can cost you though What's that not texting back your dad because our parents are getting older. We getting older You know, I mean so you think about things like that, you know what I mean that time when you Like let me call my mom. Okay, I'll call it tomorrow. Oh, I hate that. I hate that. Have you got tomorrow? I mean, we never had it. We never knew if we had it back then, but we really know you on borrowed time There was more runway back. Yeah Why do you feel like you should you would have made more mistakes? That's why I want to know what's the why like why do you feel like? um just because I feel like Like things that I've learned in college if I would have learned in high school I would have been better off I wouldn't have to experience it in older age Like the older you get you don't want to be doing shit that people learn in high school or shit like that My dad always said uh, and I didn't really understand it until I started to get older. He goes uh youth Why is it wasted on the young? Now that's not his quote. I'm sure somebody else's quote, but like But that's just what it is. It's like the second you get out of out of high school You know exactly how to work high school saying you get out of college You're like, I got this college shit figured out and I think that is life in general Like nobody figures out life like all them monks and shit that know exactly how to live. They're like a hundred You know I'm saying so it's like you figure it out right when you're done with it and that's just part of life But that's why you become a monk Yeah, and I don't mean like I'm not saying become a monk I'm just saying you become that person that passes it back to the generation that's coming after you I was somebody the other day here in this building was like just because you said don't mean is gold and I thought about it and I said Actually it does I'm gonna tell you why it does just by the way you might take it and not apply it to your life That's fine. Well in context to that conversation But it's gold because I've lived and experienced that that person has yet to live. This is my goal That's my goal. So it's still gold whether you use it and it helps you in your life It's still gold anybody that's come before you And have done something and they're telling you. Yeah, how how how they did it giving you some tips is gold I don't like arguing over advice Like when people ask for advice and now they start arguing it's like well It also depends on who it's coming from like if you guys are giving me advice You guys are people that are successful there But there are a lot of unsuccessful people that want to give you advice and really it'd be like I don't want advice from you because you're nobody I admire depends what they're talking about No, no, but let me clarify. I'm saying like I don't like arguing over advice that you're asking me You know I'm saying like if I'm giving you unsolicited advice, tell me to shut the fuck up You don't ask for this advice But if if you're coming up to me going, how do how would you do this? And I tell you I would do it and then you start telling me why that's wrong. It's like I told the room last week I love everybody in this room I respect everybody in this room But I don't give a fuck if y'all listen to me in that Because I'm already me It's true like even like Of course But I needed that It's why it almost feels like it feels like you're being discredited like you don't know what the fuck you do You don't tell me I'm wrong when I'm here Oh Taylor's point she wasn't what happened I forgot What was he talking about Oh, no, that was it. No, that wasn't what we were talking about because I was saying I was it's like you Drey How even you showed to me as a person now DJ If you see somebody That's doing what you love and is doing what you do and they're more Successful than you That's all I was telling them go talk to them. I got some game have a conversation and the pushback was Well, what if they don't want to say anything that's on them, but they haven't tried and can I say one thing? I bet I don't I assume that you feel similar, but I'm not gonna speak for you People enjoy talking about what they love And why it's worked out for them They might not if you walk up to like a fucking tom cruise and you're like, uh, well, can you tell me about uh history? Why are you talking about history? Yeah, if you walk me back, how do you get your body ready for the stunts? He probably honestly. Well, I have a pretty strict workout regimen. I have to eat certain things and make sure they recover Let's go get on it, bro But that's my point is just like yo, just go talk to a person They do like it man. And by the way, yeah Tom cruise may not have time Depending on who you are. Yeah, but I promise you somebody the person that never just spoken to It never gets asked asked advice Would love the poor and he was like, oh, you think I'm important Oh, you you think I'm you value my what I do. Yeah Oh, man, you you can't tell this shot. That's true after that. That's all I'm saying 100. All right Uh, drain give me your twitters and your instagrams and all that stuff Yo, it's andre d thompson on everything and uh, yeah, this is as dope as fuck to do the show, man I've been watching this shit forever Yeah, we you say you was working that we used to oh fucking everywhere, bro I was fucking working that enterprise watching cars watching cars I was at a at a supplement store selling creatine of motherfuckers and shit So now to be on it is dope as shit, man I'm stoked.
