Let's start the show. Hazakaya Walker. What's up, sir? Man, we have a guest today, a man who we've spoken about on Brilliant In His Podcast on numerous occasions. He's given us so many hilarious moments over the years. He's one of the best standup comics alive. When did you ever, when did you ever? He's one of the best standup comics alive. When did you ever? One of the best standup comics alive. Best standup comics alive. Nobody fucks with him on that stage. Man, I'm going to tell you something else. One of the most naturally funny people alive. Naturally funny people alive. Seen him on Guide Code. He was a judge on Guide Court. People know him from being Ashie Larry on Chappelle Show. We don't know about that. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We've seen him as Ashie Larry on Chappelle Show and he's got a fantastic Netflix special out right now. Out right now. This is a new day. Out right now. Daniel Rowland. Rowland. Yay. Bram, bram, bram, bram. I really appreciate that. That is the most honest. I know why you foolish it, because that is the most honest. Damn, no, we can't even make it. He can't take love. You don't. Daniel cannot take love. Why can't you take love? I can't take love. Y'all, man, can you just tell him how you feel about him? He gives me all the time. And why is it so negative? Because he can't help it. That's just how he's wired. I don't know why. He wants to have this trauma. He wants people to think, oh, nobody likes me. You're hilarious, Donnell. Donnell. Let me show you. I love you. You can't lie about being hilarious. You've got a whole Netflix special. Everybody sees you. I feel like I'm getting jumped. All right. What you're saying? I love you. I feel like, no, y'all leading up at the same time and everything. We love you. We're leading into the love. Now you're leading into it. Can you lean back? Well, what I'm saying is that's the old Donnell. That the old Donnell was very sensitive. And I came here with a different attitude. And I want to show you love too. And I brought you a gift. I brought you a gift. You're re-gifting. No, I gave you a gift. I gave you a gift. I'm Bobbie and Mark on one of the biggest tours in the country called the Black and Mild Tour. There you go. And I wanted to give you that. There you go. There you go. There you go. And also, because I'm very, very mild. You're re-gifting. I'm not re-gifting. I gave them all of this stuff early. You're re-gifting. This is what I am. Yo, I just want to say. This is what I'm saying. You and a lot of people inspire me so much. And everyone knows I'm a fan of Mild Souls, right? So, Peggy, I have a collaboration idea, because a lot of people don't like things so spicy, Andrew. You know that, right? And it's safe as a black man to appeal to every culture. You want to keep it right in the middle. That's why I'm going to go on tour. This is going to be one of my sponsors. This is where you got into a fight in Pennsylvania. I did. Yes. And but it doesn't stop here, Sharron. But you didn't even think about that. I bought this for you because you got into a fight in Pennsylvania and it's mild. This audience has no idea what the fuck you're talking about. That's it. This comes out after this club. All right. It's another thing. Got it! So, I got to say something, too. Oh, yes, please. This is more emotional. This is more fitting for where your life is right now. Oh, thank you very much. All right. It's a candle that I got. I would love a Donna Rawlings candle. That's not just a special one. What does it smell like, Donnell? You didn't have to do a sniff test and tell yourself. Oh, wow. Get the fuck out of here. Look, look, DILF candle. Oh, I thought it said DILF. But look what it says. Dick, I love fucking. Why would you sell candles? That's almost kind of gay. I thought this was a place for truth. Gay is in, bro. I mean, gay is in, but. I only if you want to be in the movies. Why would you sell dick-I-love fucking candles? That is so awful. That is so awful. It says, look, look. Dick, I love fucking. Go close. What does it say? Oh, it doesn't say. Oh, I thought it was serious. It don't say it doesn't say. No, it says, dedicated, involved, love, fucking dick. Nah, nah, dick-I-love fucking is better. Yeah, I'm proud of it being emotional. He know you want to tear up right now. No, this is beautiful. It says dedicated, involved, loving father, DILF. And I did that. DILF, baby. And I started saying that acronym. Everybody think it's, uh, dad, I like to fuck. And I even told you, I'm not going to get emotional and tell you and say, I care about you. But, you know, first off, it was dope that you, when you got married, you did it the right way. You got married, and then soon after that, you had a kid. And you did reach out. And you said you were proud. I don't comment on too much or nothing, but I said that. That meant a lot. What did he say? What did he say? He reached out, and he's like, this is the thing I'm most proud of you about. I'm most proud of you four, though. And that was far. And, you know, there was part of you was like, we don't need it, you know, comparing. You know, you could be proud of me for everything. No, I'm not. No, I'm just. Now we're getting to honesty. What the fuck happened to my career? Now we're getting to honesty. This nigga just hooked the fuck up. You know, I don't want for me to say those things. I was like this old crack of ass motherfucker. And then I was like, and then I was like this, white boys love this nigga, right? Get out of there. I saw a 50 cent tweet. I was like, this nigga got everybody down. I was like here in my community, stay over there with Taylor Smith. Stay over there with the burnt crisis and shit. Get me the buttons and all them niggas. Next to you know, this. I was like, oh, come on, it won't stop. But you was running. I got to say, I'm proud of you. Fuck you. I was on Ganko too. Nigga, what happened about that? What you mean what happened to your career? You have a great career. I was like, what the fuck? And he did it the way, the fucking gay way. He went independent and did it all himself. I don't need the industry. Oh, no. Oh, no. You know what? Fuck you, Netflix. I'll do it on my own. And Netflix had to circle back and still give him a special. And he wasn't even standing up. He was sitting down. Why are you arguing with me? This is what I'm talking about. A lot of people around here making excuses. Here's an example of a Caucasian white man that figured out how to work the system and not wait on Hollywood. He's not sitting behind a desk talking about this person passed me, this person passed me. And this is what we need to do as communities and everybody, guess what he did? And this is a lesson for everybody. He bet on his fucking self. But what did he use? What did he use, Donnell? His platform. What was the platform? It was a whole bunch of platforms. Oh, you guys, together. No. It's really influential friends. YouTube and podcasts. I never argued that. What are you talking about? Can you calm down? No, just earlier you said... Can you calm down? Earlier you made a statement and you said, you're just on YouTube and podcasts. I have a Netflix special. That's what you said. What I said for. And who did I say it for? Corey Hogan. All right. Now we want to address it. You did it. I didn't. No, wait a minute. I didn't. I didn't. Yo, he's the funniest, bro. He's not the same conversation. He might be the funniest, bro. I'm telling you. He might be the funniest. What I'm saying is, that's a different thing. He's not the same conversation. He might be the funniest, bro. He might be the funniest. Yo. That's a different conversation. You can't... What I'm saying is... Oh. Y'all want to address it? I've been talking about the last 10 minutes. Yo. All right. Y'all want to address it? We can address it. What is it? Honestly, you can't use him as an example, because he used that platform, not to shit on people, not to expose people, not as he used it to better himself and his brand. There is a difference. Yeah. Madonna, we're not about to sit here and do a Corey Hogan. I'm not. He asked me. Yo. I speak... I'm like a rapper. I'm shooting shots. Subliminal. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. You're four foot two with a perm. You know what I'm talking about. I didn't say a nigga name. You know what I'm talking about. I'll hear you reading books. 4,000 books. 4,000 books. With a perm. I see you out there. Me at the track. I raised you, nigga. Boy, boy. I didn't say nobody name. That's true. I didn't say nobody name. You got no clue what you're talking about. Nobody knows what you're talking about. None whatsoever. I'm talking about the difference. All right. Okay. The difference is, let's talk about something else. But you... No, no, because you wouldn't round me. You got to let you do it. No, you ran that circuit. You ran that circuit. Right. You had a podcast under Joe Rogan's network. Yeah. What about it though? What are you saying? I'm saying you was in that same network. This is what you said. No, this is what you said. What was his name? This is what... Brett Chrysler. This is what you said. I can't remember. Brett Chrysler. I'm sorry. No, this is what... What you said was you... I didn't speak down on a person with a YouTube or a podcast. I spoke down on a person that's trying... that tried to fuck with me. Okay. And in this situation, I'm saying this situation, that's what they do. Right? That's what they do. They'll let it go. Yo, how many movies do you need... Okay. Well, the number is... Yeah, tell us the amount of movies before you got to do gay things. Two movies? I've never done that. What the streets are saying. What the streets are saying? Like, you go to a club as a two-drink minimum, right? But in the world, if you go to a set, it's a three-dick minimum. Wow. You know what I'm saying? That's what the streets are saying. So you have three dicks in you to do one movie? No, no, no, no. And we're going to keep this very heterosexual, right? Yeah. Why? The reason why white people are very comfortable. Doing what? Being gay? 100%. So are you! Or even borderline of it, or even thought of it. They don't really care about you having the thought of it, whatever. But black people, it's a very sensitive issue. And why is it so sensitive? Nobody thinks you're gay. You're a dad. You're a dad. Okay, the streets, what I'm saying is, they're going to say this, Andrew. They're going to say this. And then you let the white boy had dick talk around you. They're going to say that. Like, what? No! But it's a real Brooklyn niggas going to be mad that I let them speak dick around me. Mad gay Brooklyn niggas, yo. What? It's mad gay Brooklyn niggas. I know. I know mans isn't them. That's a dick. I know that. See? What? What? You know a dick that's my man, yo. You heard it? Yeah, I know. Them niggas is getting it popping, too. But, you know, that's the one we're here to talk about. But why do you think, why do you think just talking about cocks around you would make people... Damn! No, no. Yo. You've been a bit... The fact, the fact, this is what I know, that you have crossed over. And it's over. You're comfortable with it. Look, I'm still tight. That is true. He's like this. He's like, yeah, all right, so what's the problem with that? He talks about it more than me. He loves talking about cocks. He talks about scorpion balls and shit, too. You went wet? I know. I got a... It's his long story. That is crazy. Yeah, he had a story. And it was some guy got a scorpion... Tell him the truth. The scorpion bit his balls. Tell him the truth. And then you went further to say, well, how about his balls? No. Tell him the truth about the week you spent in jail in Pennsylvania. And it was the guy that was in the cell with the scorpion tattoo on his balls. Donnell Scott. Tell him the truth down there. Donnell Scott. Don't try to put this on me. The streets are gonna say that Charlemagne was talking about cocks. The streets know Charlemagne was talking about cocks. Okay, so it's fine. Yeah, it's fine. So he doesn't get judged by that? I'm from South Carolina. No, but they just gave up. The game cocks. You are a game cocks. Go cocks, baby. Yeah, loves cocks. No, what it is, they just gave up. That's my wife on my model. The cocks. Go cocks. Yeah, yeah. They gave up. Who gave up? The people that would get upset because they know that you're not going to stop. No. So they just gave up. And do you think the same would happen to you if you just embraced the cock talk? I'm not embracing the cock talk. Yeah, but I'm not enjoying this. These streets are on fire right there. I've already been in three movies, big. I can't deal with this. Before the podcast started, you said Palatio was on fire in these streets. You said it's a new black. You said Dixie. What did you mean by that? I said the conversation, like every reference, everything that has to do with success or anything, people associate that with you having to or somebody gave somebody Palatio or Palatio was involved with it. That's what I said. For the last two weeks, every story, especially in our community, has had something to do with Palatio. I think it's just you. Come on. I think it's you. Everybody will get it. Everybody will get it. Who is doing this? I think it's you. I thought it was Chris. Yo. I'm like, yo, Chris is. What's up? I need some headphones. I need some headphones. I don't know what the fuck is going on. Somebody set me up, man. Somebody set me up. No, it was you on TMZ. You went on TMZ. I didn't know anything about it. I want you to think about this for a second. I'm minding my business. I see my guy, Don L. Rollins, on TMZ. I watch. I have no idea what you're talking about. Support. All I hear you say is, yo, you suck more than three Dix. You've been in the movie. I'm like, what the fuck is Don L. talking about? Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't understand it. Why? What do you think about this picture right here? Do you think that picture shows the relationship that Charlemagne and I have? What picture shows that somebody's about to be in their third movie? I'm not going to say which one. One of them is waiting for audition. That's what that shows. Somebody's like this. I got to get this wrong. Somebody's like, I don't know. I don't know. Somebody's like this is the one. You think that's too tender? Yeah, that's tender. That's borderline three movies. Why is that tender? That's love, man. Yeah, I can't too far. That's tender. Are you serious? That's love. You don't see that. You don't. A motherfucker is scoffing your head. Look how he drinks water. Look how he drinks water. Ain't that a little gang? Just the way he drinks water. No, no, no. He's cut. Why you got to stand up just now? What are you doing? What are you doing, huh? No, no. You got to do a job. You got to do a job. Your hand is on his belly. I had to look. Your hand is being cupped, son. Because we were reenacting the Michael B. Jordan, Jonathan, Majors picture. Remember the picture? We don't need it. We just wanted love. And you were doing that. And then what was the feedback for that? So you wanted to follow that? Mm-hmm. That's the suit you want to follow? Well, you did a great job. It looks very... That's what satire is all about. Listen, Andrew Schultz went viral, right? I mean, he goes viral often. Yo, free meek, man. Stop bullying meek. You got upset because you saw 50 poster bottom. I didn't get upset. Let's shout out fifth. Yeah. What did you... Let's play the joke. I want to know as a comic, because you say comic shouldn't critique other comics. I'll tell you what I felt when I first saw it today. Okay, let's hear it. Let's play it for the audience. We don't got to play it. This is so awkward watching your own joke. Everybody hear it. No, it's not. No, it's not. And he was in Philly. Let's set the stage, yo. You said this in Philadelphia. I saw somebody say, Andrew and Meek don't have the same audience. Can I say this? Yes. All right, let's rewind it. Okay. Rewind it. And meek. I was getting crazy. Meek. Look at my hands. Look at the picture down there. I see it. All right, back it up. Okay. Back it up. Back it up. Me, we're in the locker room. All right. And I got to show you something. What I know is a lot of people didn't see this when it first starts. Go all the way in the back. Press play. All the way to the beginning. Yeah, press play. Press play. Press play. You'll be good. You'll be good. You'll be good. Press play. I was like, you need milk. It was hot. Stop it right here. Stop it right here. See that? I would fans, right? From hard work. Not fucking with nobody. Not say you had to suck this. Andrew fucks with everybody. But I say you asked me to do it. I said first thing. I think he's doing a subliminal thing again. First thing you got to see. First thing you got to see. This is an audience. This is a Hurls chicken shop black comedy night. Okay. Run into it. This is hilarious. Maybe the worst in history of doing this. There's someone accusing you of being gay. You don't get on Twitter though. You know what? Put these on watches. It's all juicy and light. It's my favorite thing to buy. I just put my dick in it so you know. He tweeted that. And I was like, oh, he thinks that's disgusting. He thinks that's disgusting. And you know who else thinks that's disgusting? This is a gaze. A gaze. I stop it right here. No, hold on. Hold on. This is the funny part. I thought you don't like watching yourself. Well, this is the only part I like. This is me, bro. You're not here for me. This is me, man. He's done a lot of things. Right? You know what? I'm going to do it now. Right? You know what? I'm going to do it now. I'm going to do it now. Right? You know what? I'm going to do it now. We need them on the street. We want the bustin' cheeks. That's funny. But listen. Can I say what I want? That was white privilege. That was... You made that joke. Every dream Chasing in the world be after you. Not look at... I can do it. But look at what Meek said. Meek laughed at the joke. Meek didn't just laugh. What did he say? Meek added to the joke in a way that he Oh, I thought you were doing it. You know, but here at Great Synthy Humor, this is what we should be able to do, make fun of people. I'm with you. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. When you watch this comment who's sitting right here, first off, first off, it's easy. Let me say this. It's easy to come. It's easy just to riff on topical things. It's certain things that come out in the news. And you can just say, meek meals and everybody going to laugh. But he took it beyond that. He took it to that, to a structured joke with a callback, with a punch, with a point. You know what I'm saying? That is fucking real comedy. Even when I first saw it, I was like, you know, for a motherfucker and to be this, this, I don't know if you understand. This is hot on the news. You're in front of thousands, thousands of people right here with this joke. You're taking a chance. Fresh out the oven, yeah. You're taking a chance. You didn't go to a club or anything. It's like, I feel, I feel. But just confident enough for yourself to say, I know this shit funny. I'm going to stick to my guns. And I took a chance. Everybody's not fearless like that. And one thing I can say about your comedy is like, you have been through, I don't know what, the equivalent of white people mud is. You know. I don't know what y'all mud is. It's more like sand. Yeah, sand. It's a big sand. It's a bermuda or something like that. You know what I mean? I don't know what y'all mud is. But that's what I see with that. And then here's the thing. If the only, you have to be able to respect a fucking good joke. No matter how hard it is to, if the joke is good, it's a good motherfucking joke. If you laugh, that should be the criteria. You can't, I don't like people who laugh and then think about it after and then start feeling offended. No, if you laughed, that's what it was to begin with. And that's what I thought Meek did. That's why I was like, OK, leave this dude alone. Why is this going so crazy? I'll give you an example. Give you reason Meek can't help himself. Look at that first line right there. Read that first line. The first time I laughed at being gay. Like, god damn. He could have said being cold gay. That's, he had to say that. There was nothing else to say. We know what he meant, Sharla. No, not at a time like this. That could work, man. Yeah, it's every word, man. No, but it's fun, but just like what you said, I understand that, and I had a similar situation with my special, right? It is something like, when you do something like that, you wonder like, oh, these motherfuckers, you're not, it's not going to stop you. But you wonder like, are they going to be mad or whatever? And then somewhere in the side of you say, if the motherfucking got a sense of humor, he'll know. He'll laugh at it. Pull that funny back up, Taylor. I had, when I, on a new day, and I did a joke, I did this joke and told a story about Dr. Umar. Right? But that was fun. And I was, all I kept on saying, I was like, this motherfucking going to come hard. I was like this. But I said, I was very, I was very like smart. I didn't go, and I can't bash him because a lot of things that he say are true. It's just one little thing that I disagree with him on. I said that I was like- Snow bunnies? Yeah, the snow bunny joint, right? Ah-ha, same. Yeah, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha. Yo, Dr. Umar! He won't be swimming in the milk or anything like that. But the thing about it was, I was like- Ah-ha, ah-ha. When I wrote the joke, when I wrote the joke and when I put fun, I was like, man, I know this motherfucking is a serious brother. But I'm saying he got to understand funny is funny. And then they didn't take, I knew it wasn't going to take too long. Maybe two days later. He reposted it. He reposted it. And I didn't even know that he reposted of him Washington, right? And this is why I know he had a sense of humor because I did the serious stuff. 95, I did that. And you can hear him in the background. I said, oh, here it comes, here it comes. He knew the punch was going to hit. I hit it. But I'll tell you one thing about his timeline. That's the most smiley faces he's seen on his timeline like two years ago. Because it's funny. Funny is funny. I'm going to win, yeah. Funny's going to win. Now, this was crazy too. Meek said the first time I laughed at being gay. But then he said, but don't with me in real life, I may swing. LOL. I know what he means because I understand that language. He's saying I may swing a punch. What if you're- No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't even know that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What he's saying? He's saying he's like, oh, yeah, like it's a joke. No. I understand. He's saying you're fast. I may swing. Wait a minute. Yes. Yes. Yes, man. Yes, man. That's what I'm talking about. No. Man, Kyle's and grandma matters, Meek. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This would have been a great- No, I was like this, hold up, wait, wait, no, no. Kyle, you did it four inches, he said. Hold on, hold on, wait, wait, yeah. Pause, Meek, pause. Yes, man. But I just assume, to his point and to your point. Free Meek. At first I saw it, when I saw, I may swing. Free Meek, bro. I thought like, swing. That's what he meant. No, he did mean swing. He meant that. But the top and the bottom of this tweet is gay, ironically. Okay, but the LOL, the LOL puts everything in perspective. No, it don't. Yes it do. You don't put the LOL on there, then it's a fight. Yo, what if you meant to do all this? Like what if this was done on purpose and the LOL was to let you know it's a joke? This is genius. Yo, Meek might be a marketing genius. I mean, listen, we can't stop talking about Meek. Hey. That's the thing, Meek knows how to use social media. Cause personally, I took Meek's phone away a long time ago, especially at a time like this. The best way to not feed into any sort of allegations about you when they not true is don't respond to me. You know what he should have done? Don't say shit. That's the hardest thing to do when you evoke, that's the hardest thing for me to do is not talk about who I don't want to talk about. I know it doesn't. You are perfectly over here. No, because I don't. You have shown us that this week. Yeah, but I like, like. You should have seen him in Becker's Club interview. He was like, he was like, and I know what you want to ask me. Like somebody who I'm talking about. He was like, what you mean, comedian's beefing? Nobody said anything about that. I already knew what was coming. No, it wasn't. But that's, I know. Okay, all right. We want to talk about your special. You're right. Your successes. So the gifts you gave me was you want to talk about new day. Listen. Why didn't you bring Meek here? Eight. Eight. You gave me eight. Just so you want to talk about my special, nigga. And I knew you was going to do it because I heard the episode before this. And you was talking. And this nigga said, oh, I got something for him tomorrow. I heard you, son. I was like trying to get ready for you while you were getting ready for me. You was on. I want you to have that shit, son. New day on Netflix right now. Go watch it. You kept calling yourself black and mild. I thought that was genius. I was like, yo, that's genius. When you kept hashtagging black and mild, I'm like, that's what he's doing. He should own it. You're leaning in. You're leaning in. So I said, I'm going to rip off the mild stuff. So you've had your fan face long enough that they believe everything to come out your fucking mouth? What do you mean? They believe this bull shit's story. You said you weren't doing black and mild on Instagram. What I did was I flipped it. Yes. I flipped it. And I thought that was genius. And you know I flipped it too wet. Okay. Let's get to it. All right. Get to what? Get to what? Get to what? So, you know. I just want to get to it. I just want to get to it. I just want to get to it. Get to what? And when they can do this, they get to it. You know. So, okay. Let's get this correct. So you knew the mild reference. Yes. What's reference? Let's get silent. Just got one of the steps. Come on. So you knew the mild, black and mild reference I was using was basically turning lemons into lemonade out of the situation. Right? And you know the situation was triggering to me. I know what that triggered. Let's just talk. Yo, I'm your therapist right now. Let me talk. Let's just talk. Let's just talk. Okay. You knew what's triggering to me. You knew what's triggering to me. You know I'm sensitive. We've had experiences. Yes, yes. Everywhere I go, people like, they say, why do you let them do that? And I, you're all right with me. But for the streets, I had to say, man, fuck that South Carolina. That's what I'm saying, because I don't want them to think that there's any chance of us having text messages outside of it. So, knowing that you, I'm a sensitive person. You know the things that hurt me. You did it for seven years. You knew what my trigger word was. You knew what my trigger word was. I didn't know Miles was such a trigger word. It wasn't. Until it was. Until it was. You know, not funny, was my trigger word. Nobody said you wasn't funny. Earlier on. Earlier on. Nobody said that. You. I've never said that. Do I have to? Yes. You did all the things. I will please, please. Nobody said you never heard me say that. In fact, I said the opposite. I said I saw Donnell Rollins at Radio City with Dave Chappelle, Cedric and Natana, Marlon Wayne, and I said Donnell was the funniest person on the stage that night. All right, producers, just do this for me. Just go rewind when they try. Why would I ever say you're not funny? Because you were trying to trigger me. No. Listen. That never happened. Listen, this is how calm I am. I'm trying to explain. So you know that I said to Black and Mild to respond to a certain thing and what I thought was a classy way. You know where my trigger words are. You know deep down inside that upsets me to be called Mild. You saw me flip out on TMZ. So with that said, you know when it's a trigger. You decided to either doordash or instant cart a Easter basket filled with everything that said Mild on it. What y'all don't know is this is the bully that y'all don't know. This is not true. How the fuck that therapist? You're the new one. You know that this was going to trigger me. No, I didn't. You said you love the green Mild sauce. I got you that brand. You didn't know I loved it until you triggered me. You didn't know that. So just stop with the shenanigans. You know what's so funny about the word Mild? You're reacting to the word Mild the way women first reacted to little Duvall calling them basic. But see, he was calling basic bitches. He was calling basic bitches, basic bitches. Yes. I'm not a mal comedian. You know that though. The same way Meek knows he's not gay. But I still can respond to it. You can. I know you're good friends of Michelle Obama. She says when they go, how we go low, all right? I don't know Michelle. You're good friends of Michelle Obama. Well, you know she's a, you know her. You know her? You've met her. Me and I met Michelle a couple of times. And the cat question, when you met her, how did you smile? How did I smile when I met her? I'm going to show you the look you did. Show me. That is not true. I actually was shocked she knew who I was when I met her. Everybody knows who you are. And I said, what do I call her first lady, whatever she said? Everybody knows who you are. So you, everybody knows who you are in Charlotte, and you relax. I don't want to say what she says. You're responsible. What people know, you're responsible for the things that you say. Yes. And like when you give me, you know how many niggas is ready to get busy in these streets? And then when you say, you give me like busy, like, like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, like freaky, like the niggas over here. Freaky, Zeke. Like, what do you mean? Like, what the fuck? It was the niggas. Hold on. No, you're just fingering guys in the snow. Freaky, freaky say the niggas over here with the hammers. Oh, hey, yo, yo, yo, what's going on, Donnell? So I put, you're spiraling. This is crazy. You're spiraling. This is crazy. I put, it was two niggas. I put one niggas in a full Nelson. It was huge. Wow. And I was blocking it. And then niggas over here was shooting, right? And then I was blocking it. And then it was two niggas over there with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the ratchets. No, you want to say hammers? It was two over there with the hammers. And they got the hammers. And then everybody got the hammers. And then I pulled out the hammer. And they had hammers. And I said, that does seem like. This is a wow. Oh, it seems like a great thing. It does seem like it. It does. What I'm saying is, you have a responsibility. You know that you were going to trigger me. I did not. Yes, you did. A whole Easter basket filled with Mauser. I gave you a gift because you got a special out. This is crazy. Well, this year started off the year of the truth, right? It does not feel truthful in here right now. Why not? What do you mean? Because he's lying. But is he lying about thinking you're funny? Because I've never once heard him say that you weren't one of the funniest comedians alive. I genuinely have not ever wanted to hear that. He can't accept love. Donnell thrives off thinking that people don't fuck with him. You guys have, you guys have your inside jokes for sure. But he's never once not said that. He said that you're one of the funniest human beings alive as facts. He said that after, and I knew what was going to happen, after he saw me eat the audience up. And this is how it started. This is how it started. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy. That was nuts. Eat them up. He's an audience up. He doesn't eat them. Eat them up. Y'all eat them up. Y'all eat them up. Y'all eat them up. Fuck about who was in there. These man and women. He was just going to eat them to fuck up. Y'all eat them up. Gays. He was going to go great. Was the audience member that you ate up male or female? The sensitivity of you guys' ears when it comes to gay shit. We got gay ears. We got gay ears. This is a gay ear to rule. Which is better than a gay butt. Huh? Huh? Huh? See, my ears ain't gay. I don't even know what you're saying. Huh? What? What? What? What? That's why the niggas hit the streets. When you was younger, when you was younger, when you was younger. Why the hell are you going to trigger me? No, did people tell you they were proud of you? No. Did people encourage you? Damn. The reason why? The reason why? I'm not saying they were. The reason why? Because I didn't do anything for them to be proud of. Nothing? When I was younger, I know I was a troublemaker. Now, I wasn't like, we proud, you made the basketball team. I was the water boy. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't proud. And then they didn't know I was going to be a comedian. Niggas said that you're funny as shit. But they never said we're proud that we can come and get you out of the land out of the lunch room and roast. Like, when it was time to fight, they never came to get me for fights. But when it was time to roast, they were like, go get that little big head nigga. We got them. But nobody, I don't, I think. Is that when you felt appreciated? I didn't feel appreciated in high school. I didn't feel, I was nothing to be proud of me for. My mom always was proud of me. That's good. She said follow your dreams. But I think, I know this is crazy. But the first time I felt somebody, people being proud of me, is when I joined the military. And they were like, we're proud that you served. But they tell everybody that, though. I know, but I was like this. And when I, they work. No, it is. The first time I felt somebody was proud of me in my life. Was being a military. And you just cut the legs right from that. No, I didn't mean it like that. He's not a triggering motherfucker. No, I didn't mean it like that. You're not a trigger. Look at that. That's young Donnell in the Air Force. Because what I'm trying to get to the bottom of is why can't you just accept love? Were you a red tail or what? No, I was a military police. I was a police. You look wow young in that photo, yo. How old are you there? Right there, I was 17. I was so, when I was stationed there. You were 18? Yeah, unless your mother. I literally had to get a permission from my mother to join the military. You have to be 18. But if you're under 18, your mom has to sign for you. And that picture right there, I was 17. The first base I was, it was Cool Song Korea. That picture over to the left. Right there with me in that CJ5 Jeep. I was 18. And people thought, people thought I was a general son. They thought I was a dependent. They didn't think I was in military. The Koreans used to call me Egi-ai. Egi-ai is Korean for baby. They shouldn't be talking about nobody's eyes. I say Egi-ai. That's crazy. Chanyeol shouts in foreign language. Translate, Chris. Universe English is difficult. No, he isn't. You didn't know what Asian he was, though, nigger. Oh. Right. Is he Korean? No, it's Taiwanese. Taiwanese as damn, my fuck. You said he's Asian, so he should speak Korean? I didn't know what you were saying. That's right. Cancel this show right now, son. You just said... I'm just dumb. You said he's Korean, so I... You said... That's just stupid. What were you saying? You said he's Korean, so I know he could cook Chinese food. That's what I heard. I've never said that. I think they can do it. Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, Iiwa. Yo, yo, come here, come here, Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, Iiwa, yo, come here. Money Upso, Kata Chogi, you ain't got no money. Beat it. That's what that means? Listen. Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, Yobaseyo, come here, yo, come here, Yobaseyo, Iiwa, Money Upso, you ain't got no money. Kata Chogi, get the fuck out of here. Money Isso, Hapshi Da, that was the theme song for the horse downtown. Got you. What does that mean? I just told you. It means that... You ain't got no money. Get the fuck out of here. You got to say all that for that one sentence? Yeah. I'm just dumb. I'm just dumb. I'm just dumb. Got it? I'm just dumb. You speak fucking Korean? I hung on my little chokum. I speak a little Korean. I hung on my little chokum. He probably just bullshitted me. We don't know him. Aigoo, aigoo. Shikara, shikara. Iptakcha. Shikara is be quiet. I would talk to you like that and you have respect. Iptakcha. Shut up, that's to you. Iptakcha. Tonseng. Yaima. Like if I don't have beef with you, I'm like, Yaima, Idoaba, doi. And then I would tell you to get away from me. Any Korean looking at me right now, they'd be like this, they fathered. Yaima, you doaba. How did you not get on cameo and fresh off the boat? This is great. You don't even know what the next move I'm about to make. I'm going to manifest it right here. And this is going to happen. My next special I'm going to do in Korea. I have a story. I have a story that nobody can fuck with. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Show somebody. Somebody can fuck with. Show somebody says something to me earlier today, right? They said they were talking about joke thieves and these people that steal jokes and stuff like that. And I always thought like this. If I'm not fucking stealing a joke, don't bitch about it. Even beat them up or leave it alone. Write another joke. And if you really think about it, show. If you really think about your community around the circuit. When a lot of times we hear these stories about somebody stole a joke, it's not. It's a joke that can easily be stolen. A common idea would probably be the truth. or the world of something people thought of. Parallel thought. Thought. I think that's what the Internet has showed us is that like, you're not the only one capable of having an idea. Your original idea, there might be someone else with it. Someone else's original idea. This happens all the time on Twitter. Somebody says a funny nickname for somebody. And then ten other people in the comments would say their nickname. when we did it the first time Dave can did the first time I did I did I remember watching you talk about this yeah he can did he thought it was mild you know what be honest you know what whatever definition it is maybe he thought it was mild but this was hit the reason why I got a stand to know I ripped the room stand late today going crazy and shit and and this was at the heels of the pandemic I didn't have no place to work out usually do a special you not I was working out in the goddamn cornfield 10 or 15 music you went from fucking Korean the slave like that the first time the first time we had already we announced that we're gonna put the special out they earthquake have one I won they went to a variety they was seeing this right and then he called me and like that and I was like when are you gonna fucking watch it like when are you gonna watch it was busy then he called me went down to Baltimore I remember he said yo D I said what he said man I'm editing right now I'm like this y'all we about go I was like you finally made the edit he said he said I want to do it again you know that's the most insulting thing you can say to a comment because the first thing you say is was it not funny that's the first thing you ain't talking about lighting or nothing you like what you're trying to say yeah did I hit it and and I said how did I how do we go from being excited to you want to do it again and he said Donnell you one of the funniest comedians I know he said I could put your front in any room and you would destroy the room yeah he said but that doesn't make it a great special hmm he said if we're gonna get this right he said out of everybody that's in that lineup he said and no slight to Luneo no slight to earthquake or Tony was he said do I'm that associated with the brain he said mine is the most anticipated yeah I would agree with you know so he said if we're gonna do it let's do it right yeah and then I say I need to have more information and he is like listen you did a lot of COVID jokes I think that's a smart it's all that stated it's like but I'm thinking but you gotta think about like this I'm in the moment hmm I shot that in the moment I wasn't thinking the future yeah I shot that like what's popping right now but it was a good decision by him to recognize that culture has moved on so we're still talking about these old jokes it might not be as well received as it would be if it came out two weeks after I would have dropped it say dropped it then when you think you see a mask your brain immediately goes to 2020 which is maybe not the best time for you I think this is a fantastic decision and it's a fucking costly decision that's what a lot of people don't realize like that yeah Jeff Ross said it to me he was like you doing again that's unheard of and the thing about it shows how much they believe in you 100% so we said we're gonna show we said we're gonna try to do it again right so this was just a random situation he records it just like you records all except yeah so we were doing some shows in Napa Valley and Ricky Hughes is in the room shot of Ricky Hughes one of dopest producers Grammy award winning any whatever she's though so we're in the back it's just me Dave and Ricky and and Dave said Ricky how many cameras do we have here tonight Ricky said we got five cameras Dave looks at me he says you want to shoot just special I said when he said tomorrow I was like that come on man anybody else like Luke yeah I was like first of all I need a suit and I need red socks right that was gonna be my thing right but I got excited about it you still got on the same socks right now I got plenty of them that's my new thing I'm gonna sell them too so um so got get a chance to do it again go up there can I say question yeah are you doing an hour regularly now no not now like at that time or were you doing so how do you put together the hour I'm gonna tell you very good question the way I don't realize that like this is another thing I'm asking a real honest question yeah and I used to like I'm going for an hour and especially right but I have nowhere to practice an hour yeah you're probably about a 30 or 25 think about it and this is where I was practicing this shows in the in the back of pickup trucks think about it during the pandemic we hear this this was 2020 oh so you're talking about the first special yeah the first okay what I'm saying is I had no place to do a whole hour so what I did was I would go to places and I said I'm gonna do 15-minute sets you break it up I'm a piece of together yeah and I said when I used to and then I was like okay I'm doing 15 here that's gonna be that what's gonna be my transition to go to the next thing all I got to do is sew it together that's what I'm saying I'll do 15 15 15 so that's how I was practicing and then once I was close club start open up where I did I could do an hour I kept telling me give me three 15 minute lights I wanted to know exactly where I was in the hour in the time yeah because the contract for these shows that we were doing there was only supposed to be a half hour yeah these special supposed to be the money I got for you would not believe it was only supposed to be for half hour but another thing and this was a Robbie Prak Robbie and Dave thought differently if you don't know Robbie Prak he's a guy Robbie Prak the biggest name and he green lights all the specials for Netflix Dave was adamant about just keep it 30 he said I want to be an intro card he said would keep it nice and sweet yeah I can't argue with it because he got me our money for 30 minutes yeah you know I'm saying like for nigga just coming out with not really that social media heat yeah yeah I got a nice bag I got a nice bag for yeah I'm glad you learned that you get a lot of bags so I got so you're making this decision between 30 and I'm glad you didn't deny that you get a lot of bags no no I saw his glasses fog up when you said that you didn't deny it you didn't even deny it the thing that we're liars so you have to make a decision between 30 an hour Dave is like hey why don't you do something 30 tight sweet a missile he will be an introduction exactly he was telling me all we need is 27 he was like but I was like not when you think of the idea especially think I were I don't know I I understand where he's coming from which is like give them an introduction where they're begging for more right so I like that logic but with you I would say you're different than the average comic in that a lot of these people already have seen you that's how many already know who you are so it's maybe not an introduction but I do like his like it's a combination of both yes and then but the thing is they wanted he wanted 30 and Robbie was like Robbie wanted 40 and the reason why Robbie wanted 40 because you it's a certain you got to do at least 40 minutes for you to be able to chart yeah you got yeah yeah yeah so you want to you want to get the exposure from the episode not the episode from the the special doing really well for debut number one on yeah but here's the thing and I understand like it was like it wasn't a conflict we all figured out a way to make each other happy yeah like what Dave's Dave was more like fuck that I wanted to be funny like even if I would have came up minutes short if it was everything we had everything we had we he would he was gonna keep like I think that's the smartest but he was at the thing was this is like when it comes in this story so dope so we were at 30 minutes 38 minutes and it was fire right it was a clean I think I did 42 that night 40 44 that night we was we we do first pass we turned it 38 minutes and then Robbie's like is it 40 minutes I say Dave one for Dave was basically like fuck the 40 minutes and Robbie's like right so I asked Ricky I was like damn man because I knew it was a clean edit I was like do we take anything out I said is it anything we could put in this was a long shot and she said well we took out the missile missile feel a themia joke miss a missile that shit it's a joke about that late-night medicine or whatever right okay and the reason here's the thing and going back to the similar premises I took that joke out because I was just scouring the Internet and then a joke Cat Williams did popped up okay he was talking about myself that's what I wanted to avoid even that conversation right yeah the fact because it was so hot in the streets with cat I was like man I don't even want people now he's still in jokes well and I knew that his joke and my joke were totally different yeah but when I knew she was like we can put it back in and then I say you know what fuck Cat Williams I'm putting that shit back in right yeah but if they're different jokes what does it matter the shit was so hot in the streets jokes I didn't even want them like the topic was so synonymous with I'm not cat cat cat was so hot in the streets is what he said and cat had started the conversation about people stealing jokes and yeah cuz it was right in the heat of that and we and editing yeah I was thinking I was like I just don't I said my shit is and what I said was do I lose anything in the joke if I take it off I didn't lose anything the joke still hit but I said put it back in put it back in got us to 41 41 got us to be able to chart that number yeah you're number two well when we stayed in like and that's a big accomplishment like two four seven so also how a lot of people end up seeing things they just see the top and then they click it yeah number two means top ten now but why you just didn't do like a longer intro or something because you did like a sketch in the beginning it's like yeah but but that's what it's that's real funny I don't know what time that I wanted to get straight to it even even like that I think that getting right into the stand-up like when people click something they click for stand-up and I think a lot of times comics try to be cute and they put like a sketch or something in the beginning of their show and it's like did you see my did you see a special no I haven't seen intro no I guarantee you yeah when you see the intro it wasn't bad it wasn't a bad intro though it like I get what you saying like to me I'm the same way I want to get right to it but it made sense for what he was but here's the thing Donnell's a known entity like I don't think I think there's very few people that are unaware of you that know about stand-up comedy if you're a brand new comic and they're already taking a risk get right into the stand-up right if you're Dave you could put a sketch they actually know you from sketch like they know that that's what I'm saying so if you're Donnell you're dead there's people of if Chris Rock can do something in the beginning Kev can do something in the beginning because people like I'm gonna stay through this no matter what if you're a brand new person I'm like let's go right to the do you ever think about revising the Ashley Larry character for the special no no but I would have cuz I kind of want to disassociate myself with that you know I'm saying what you were from Ashley the classy though yeah but I didn't want to I didn't want to do you tired of Ashley Larry's what you saying no it's not that I still he still gets people come to see me or whatever why do you talk about him like he's another person he has Dave ever told you he's proud of you don't know yeah he said all the time how did they make you feel it make me feel like fuck Cory Holcomb we come back leave Cory Holcomb alone wait wait before you go pay the bill well you can show him are you playing no I want him this reaction oh you want his reaction yeah look please act like you don't like it just for me this was rough you know that great song it's an expensive song to license hello that's yeah it's really cool I mean you got it you got it organic it wasn't long out of me with your kid you know production yeah you should come out to the 60 grand for that I should come out to the Michael blue play version the white version but but but it's just an amazing like that's right Nina Simone I told people the comedy is very that's great of like you like a certain type of comic some you like and I said I'm not getting caught up but like is it the funniest thing I didn't you started to make them feel hey I'm a human being this is my life I wonder what this shows was I wanted to feel good yeah the special and I was like even with that song and I was like when we did this people like today they do this everything they told me with this focus on your jokes you get that ready he said let me do the bells and whistles right because I was trying to think of an intro and I was jammed the shit I was thinking it wasn't it wasn't clicking hmm and I'm really thankful for him because and we was we had a deadline to hit we either got to do we had two days to get the intro right we're gonna blow Rob you already had a slot for me you know who he was gonna you know I'm saying we was gonna you should correct yourself on that you should the streets you know I know what you're talking about because I'm but I have gay ears and so Charlotte man and then other people might hear you're saying blow Rob you said you want to blow the guy green lights to stand up at Netflix that's crazy that's what it sounded like okay and that's what it was yeah so we had blow the deadline yeah that's me fast yes yeah we had two days we had to get it and I couldn't think anything I'm like man it's bad I tell you I'm like man especially gonna never come out he was like if we need to push the date I was like man fuck that Robbie Pross said we got February 27th we're gonna get that we had two days I couldn't think anything he came over this idea right he came over this idea and I thought it was genius and it was so for somebody this one you know somebody knows you when he's I said that was so genius day he was like genius he said that's you nigga hmm he's white or black what Robbie Robbie pro white guy so why would he call you a nigga no it's part of the I'm talking to Dave oh Dave okay I said no I said Dave came up with the intro yeah okay that's what I'm saying Dave said it I was like nigga that was genius and then Dave said that was you he's and I'm like yeah but I didn't know you ever took time to see and feel what I appreciate I think Dave saw you all these years no it was a lot of things that he put with that the part of ripping the stage he knows I care about we've been on the road when everybody went a while now I'm looking at kids my son the fact that you had the vision to see you know what and even with the song he said it's you D yeah he said especially he says it's a new dawn it's a new day you're waking up and when somebody clicks on that you don't know if you were gonna documentary or or movie but to be quite honest that was what I am when I go to sleep think about my kid the first thing I think of when I wash my face when I go to work when I go rip the stage or whatever I'm doing it for him but for him to see that under the gun of a of a of a of a deadline and then to put it there and that was kind of like the final piece to it so everybody can see your great father don't on that yeah like we see that on social media and we see that it's important to you to be a great father I just don't know how to say this Charlie man what I don't trust your face

he got a new show that's also coming out on netflix as well and uh yeah i'm excited for that one man i'm excited but i thought it was interesting how um i watched my wife and i enjoyed the monologue he did but i just hosted us to know you guys know who shane is i saw all the outlets is that one of netflix yes yeah i saw the outlets giving them shit it's so funny because i have a show doing that festival also what's festival well tell them that netflix uh the crypto is the pre-sale code i don't know this is out but i don't i don't want to you got to show the crypto arena i don't even after you said i only want to say where my show is it's not at the crypto arena where is it yeah it's not at the crypto arena i'm like i'll be at the bourbon room on hollywood that's where you have room oh shit i'm in a spot i think it is a bourbon the bourbon room but it's a it's a it's a very small venue but i still get some of the placement or whatever but that's part of the um netflix is a joke special we're all pulling up that is the joke part yeah and you know bro netflix is a joke uh made six who's on the show with you me and then open is this my show but it's not a big show it's a small show but i'm gonna tell you this is so funny because netflix is so powerful it just killed another festival which one jfl montreal jfl wow is that netflix just for last netflix didn't do it but because that festival so poppin and but you know and as many years i tell people all the time net the jfl festival and this one people we talking about people plants and all that type of shit is that that used to be the festival that broke people yeah back in the day that's it broke um it broke uh monique it broke kevin it broke dave that was back in the day like just the last broke dave yeah there was a version of it in astral right yeah ask me but that was just it was nothing was like montreal montreal is the huge one and this is where people go out to see new talent this is before there was we did it one year you had like a nasty show yeah and uh that was fun it was a lot that was fun so we did uh but yeah so basically what happens is before there was you know comedy on the internet the poor there was like clips and youtube there was no real way for these execs to go see talent so all the talent would go there the young talent would go there and then people get fucking deals i thought that was right no the internet killed just for last then you're right i didn't even think about that that's where everybody used to go well internet has nothing to do with it but back in then it was just like back then it was just montreal comedy festival and it was the most coveted audition you get everybody's like this didn't you do it last year i did last year yeah because you keep on doing it but the new faces was the thing where you would get these deals there was two the biggest ones you had your gallows of course yeah then you had new faces then the other one was the uptown new these are uptown show the nasty show with new faces and when i tell you like now the idiots you don't go to any showcases everybody everybody was there and you have you could tell him allen got broke off in here he did a he had a fucking 18 minute set and it was around i we were at it and they saw something kevin hart had his set david monique did an uptown and that that that festival then when you go there you could you could go there it's like a struggling comic and you would leave there with a quarter million dollars with them nothing to do with you just a holding deal it was just like people's like it was crazy it was crazy and the deal is like maybe you guys develop a sitcom if you don't you don't want nobody else to fuck with you for a year that's what it was they're paying you for nobody else to have the rights to your stuff and this is back in day when like it was every every come not every but a lot of like you know marquis comics were getting these deals and maybe they wouldn't even have shows but they would live off the deals yeah like that was how you made your money yep because it wasn't like and i you know i am an older guy been doing for a while i don't knock anybody hustle i say you got some overheads out here be like and then youtube i'm like man the fact that you have the tools to sell so much better like the fact that you have the tools to blow yourself up control your own destiny and when it comes down to and if you a comic that got like really raunchy dark comedy you can just set up your own platform that's a 5150 kill this shit yeah and then you get fucking 400 people to watch that shit listen i'm gonna charge my you know what without the incident you know you that show is coming up i got i got shows i just want to say this you know the people you know who called me you know what and i'm gonna this is one this is my last thought in that yeah you know the most cause i got was from other comedians you know they said thank you they don't got the heart to say that they self though i do because they know cori hulkham will come out stop playing with cori donnell okay cori okay and i want to say y'all i just did my job i did because Shangela did that monologue and people were trying to give him bad reviews he had to know he was going to get bad reviews because they hate when somebody who got cancelled uncancelled their motherfuckers of course that's all that was if you had ears and you watched the monologue you know that he did a fantastic yes so here's a stretch they tried when you when they cancel you when they bury you they hate when you rose from the dead but you never were dead anyway exactly because they don't want to believe that their power is useless that's right they don't want to believe their power thus so that's right a host of show now they got to sit there and be like well how do i discredit this in some right that's right but here's another thing too is that you like when you have these alternate platforms you empower yourself there was a day when you had to go to hollywood but everybody's bringing hollywood to them and you should use you should use the platforms but also do the things on your own so that you can control your destiny have another option if you only have one option you got to do what they say if you can do something to yourself now we're negotiating that's right yeah and um i want to tell everybody church announcements saturday april 27 second annual black feck podcast festival is happening in elana at pulmon yards everybody's been grabbing tickets we

something about the history of black people in country music so go get my black country now back to the show donnell let's want to work through some uh hot topics okay why Taylor has a segment called by any memes necessary okay shannon sharp what about that podcast no shannon sharp popping out what on the joint i saw that everybody trying to yeah i saw that what you think that doesn't mean popping out you'll see big shannon big shea shea has anybody gotten more hating such a such a small amount of time wait i'm gonna hate on him oh yeah shannon i thought he's killing it he is no he's killing but this i'm gonna tell you here's the thing with our community church you might not know this the bigger you are the bigger they want to come at you and tear you said that as soon as you turned around and showed them cheeks all right i didn't see cheeks i just saw an athlete i'll see at least play tight end on it i know i did i'll see an athlete can you do your lane of comedy and i'll be mine your lies why is true okay you asked me to chime in on top of this sorry about that and i'm trying to do it okay you're looking at an athlete that's probably had fucking 20 to 30 20 to 30 knee surgeries and he'll show the surgery and everything so but again this is opportunity for people to go in but i don't think that it lose to anything now the color of that color of that bag might have been a little suspect i think it's a good color contrast with the foreign hand motion what's going there's a lot going on here orange i don't know i don't know and he's walking into the store to promote his own alcohol let's talk about that right but he don't drink i don't know it's just something about that fluorescent color though so he's on his pocket oh i thought you said you didn't color contrast yo shan is the man why are people hating on that you think it's just success what donnell said is true it's the truth like you you know the cat wins interview said somebody said after somebody a friend of mine said why are these people coming at me so hard and what i do to him i said your success is just mirroring their failures and what they didn't do you're reminding them of what they will never achieve yeah but i mean it's just strange to be upset of the host of a show it's not like it's not even like shannon's on there giving his negativity more energy than positivity that is true exactly why is that we're just drawn to it man it's not contradicting what you're saying what you mean you're saying that they're just jealous people like what they couldn't get but what's comedy then you guys make fun of people oh shit that's a good point hella second smartest thing she said about ten years what's number one that's great i forgot i hadn't marked though but what do you think donna this is a good point okay we we we we say things in my case we don't say things to be malicious and to hurt people we say things try to hurt me every chance you're good don't lie exception to the rule that these people when they comment they they're trying to hurt him i think that when people make comments for example there's a video where like someone's making fun of the outfit he's wearing that's like comedy but but notice since it's a joke it's not hate to me they're just teasing they're just making fun there's an art to it right you're trying to evoke an emotion when it's just people criticizing somebody because they're successful then i think that's where you get into the hate category i don't even think shannon would find this to be hate i think he just laughed at it he should we're laughing at it but i think he probably at that point was enough enough god damn well because he is 55 years old you know what i'm saying so he don't want to be bothered right you know what i mean but this all comes with it like there's nothing once you get in in front of that camera yeah all bets are off yeah that's the other thing this is the price of success like you gotta be willing to pay it if you don't want to pay it then you're not gonna get the success my therapist that people hate Taylor Swift people hate Beyonce they're supposed to think what did your what did your therapist say my therapist was talking to me about something and he was saying how he was saying how some people want the fame and the money and the accolades that come with being successful but they don't want to be critiqued yeah but all of that comes with that comes with it right now we're sitting here people are talking about our sneakers our outfits our haircuts our hairlines lack thereof everything that comes with it so is it a mental disorder if you don't want to be critiqued no but if you just can't escape it i think it's normal to not want to be a critique but it is part of success so it's accepting it you have to yeah like if it's raining outside right now and you choose to walk out that door in the rain you're going to get wet yeah but for some reason my god if i go out there he knows to stop that shit really yeah that's not the way the internet works we'll see why go out there i bet you won't be raining i'm talking about the internet i'm talking about when people have critique of you the internet the internet is just so it's a it's a we have a love hate relationship with it i don't like it at all i mean there's parts of it you like i deal with it because it exists i really don't care for it i mean the internet i don't believe that like you will you don't care for internet i really don't you know what it is i don't i don't care for the way i feel like and i'm not no clearly not no neuroscientist but it's messing with people's brains in real life to the point where you be having conversations with people when you're like why can't this person comprehend and then soon as you talk like a hashtag then they get it all of a sudden bro you know what i noticed this is something i was talking about this with the boys on flagrant but like the power of okay so that that joke with me right i posted on instagram get like a million or two million views on twitter maybe like four million views which is i'm very grateful everybody watching that seems like a lot but like when i have a clip that does a lot it's like 20 30 40 million like it's way more than that but once the blog started taking it and carrying it and what it is so say what it is no no i'm gonna i'm gonna get this the blogs no no no what else what else the black blogs oh okay well the black blogs it doesn't matter to me it's just any kind of like news source all the news sources that are in hip hop talking about it all the sudden it feels louder than it is exactly now now here's the thing i know for a fact it's not as loud because i know the numbers i know a clip that i posted that got 40 million views it didn't feel as loud because all the news sources were covering it it really shows the power of the blogs it shows the power what is it power or noise that's all i'm trying to get people to understand what i'm saying is if it's a power to convince people that something is bigger than what it is that's a power now y'all understand me that's a power that's all i'm trying to tell these niggas it took the white people's careers okay and that's a lot of people's career and you know what we used to have all that power and i got a big issue with that that's all i'm trying to tell y'all this y'all that's literally what my new book is all about oh really how people make macros macros but none of this shit really matters in the grand scheme of things the the world that y'all are fighting over is this fucking big and then on the flip side of that right and i've heard people say this i've heard people say in recent times like in the past year y'all rogan's not as big as he used to be how because you don't see him going viral on your algorithm every fucking day that's what that's what they don't they don't see it it shows points about numbers when he was on Spotify he's getting he had 10 million downloads a month he's still number one in the world just because he's not on your algorithm doesn't mean it's not happening and then but that's the tricky thing is our algorithms but can become so insular so like if you're a korean dude and you love kpop and you love uh i don't know korean horror movies and that's all you see that's all you'll think is happening in the world obviously you know other things happening but if there's some drama in that world you'll hear about it it's going to feel like the biggest thing for us we see this meat mill story it's popping up on all the pages that we follow etc like yo this is so big but if you actually look at the numbers it's not as big as something that didn't get picked up on any pages but the whole world but but but you in the streets now so i'm in the streets i got a chapter in my book you made it to the barb shops you know what the title you know what i you know it's a chapter title in my book is worldwide nigganette okay you love saying that didn't you not as much as you would like what's it like i'm just saying joseph you like saying that in public because it's i'm glad you feel good i'm glad you saw that for yourself because i'm telling you it we literally make these micros macros it's nothing if the people if the people feel that way like i felt watching it even though i had the evidence to show i felt compelled i was like oh this is a huge story right mm-hmm if everybody else feels that way then it becomes a huge story and then all the other blogs or whatever are chasing the success that they see on the other ones and then it's actually can spiral into a real thing something that isn't real in terms of the numbers can become real because of the power of all those blogs and their ability to influence people it's it's yo it's really interesting so why don't they amplify better things well the question i react a bit of things yeah that's the god i know that's on us yo that's on us that's on us because if we reacted to the positive pieces that they made then they would just make more positive pieces they're no different than any of us they want people to view the things they work on we might disagree with the content we might agree with the content but they're no different than anybody else who's creating shit how do i create shit that people see yeah and then every last year when i did my when i did my podcast run or whatever i every place that i went the first thing they they was like you know we like that controversy they just want they want you to come in here with trigger shit mm they want you to come in here nobody like like i know that you can push that but nobody wants an organic moment now yeah nobody wants to like even this podcast we had some moments where it's like this wasn't like then i'm going to say this i'm gonna say that i hear andre ward yeah we had andre ward on breakfast club oh shut up man i'll go and be up without man that she was so funny but we had andre ward on the podcast andre said verbatim i know i could come in here right now he said it's the breakfast club i know what i can say to go viral i know what i could say i know who i could talk about and i'm like well for the sake of the show do it but but but just a fact he knew that and listen i'm not even gonna sit here and put it all on the black blog because that's not true cnn msnbc foxnews they're all doing the same shit playing the same and it's coordinated wonder why it's non-stop trump coverage on all these networks and you have og's like mr cliburn saying how come y'all don't he's on msnbc and say msnbc saying how come y'all don't highlight joe biden's record how come y'all don't highlight the things that he does because it doesn't bring the ratings the way trumpito does they would rather talk about trump sneakers all week because they know it's gonna get them ratings it's gonna get them clicks it's gonna get them engagement yeah i can talk about biden putting a cap on credit cards for eight dollars or whatever the fuck it was that came out nobody's gonna care nobody cares no bunnies ain't fuck i couldn't get him good he sent me a pair of it i'm sure worth six thousand dollars now no resale value six thousand dollars three ninety nine flip what else we got taylor what else we got uh ooh trump ai with black people can somebody do me a favor damn never mind he's sitting here oh fuck um what is the point of the donald trump created it and shared ai photos of him see them with the sisters are swirling in the milk right now it's not even real yeah it is shut up it's ai you know what they always try to discredit you know what they stole the election and then it is it's not real but it is real it is real you know what i mean it's not but it is you drop that people will believe it absolutely it's real absolutely that is real that's real somebody put donald riley's on there for me body always hating on trump man trump's gonna be the nominee yo this motherfucker's gonna win and they do it nothing and not i don't know if he's going who gonna beat him come on bro i know i i i really think it's a toss-up i really do just because nobody's enthused about this election now i do i don't know the maga code but the reason why the reason why i think him i think he'll win because there's nothing that biden is doing to get his base excited yeah but i'm saying this this is like a comeback fight but both of them have to energize those independents and those swing voters come november because how's biden gonna do that i don't know they got they got to figure that out that's the biggest question so the one person that could save him bruh no hunter no who stop come on who mike bro man shut up man i'm gonna say she said she's not running i'm not even feeding it to this shit big mic big mic literally started to kill him i know big my big mic big mic big mic could do it bro let's do some asking idiots man show's gotta be home to
