- 3:05Speaker 1: when I take that one, Let's see, I don't I

- 3:13Speaker 1: I promise you man, I had such a good time.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And I want to give a special shout out to
- 3:17Speaker 1: to Brooklyn because, like you know, if that show was incredible,
- 3:21Speaker 1: and then just the energy of coming back to New
- 3:23Speaker 1: York and people out again, that that that energy for
- 3:26Speaker 1: me is everything because it was a while, Like it
- 3:28Speaker 1: took me like two years to come back here and
- 3:31Speaker 1: do a show. I shot my comedy special here and
- 3:34Speaker 1: I had to wait, damn there eighteen months for the
- 3:37Speaker 1: city to open up. Do all that well? Or do
- 3:39Speaker 1: you have to be vaccinate? Ador? Do you have to
- 3:41Speaker 1: do this, this, that and the other? Do you gotta
- 3:42Speaker 1: watch your booty before you go to a show? So
- 3:44Speaker 1: you should, yeah, but you bandatory watch your booty, you
- 3:48Speaker 1: know what's from going on. But of course I want
- 3:51Speaker 1: my life back. That's the name of the special special.
- 3:54Speaker 1: When does that come about? June? For us out right now,
- 3:57Speaker 1: it's on Amazon Prime and it's it's probably I'm gonna
- 4:01Speaker 1: go out and say it's my best hour just because
- 4:04Speaker 1: I've had like Ladies Night Out was dope, crazy, sexy, dirty,
- 4:07Speaker 1: was dirt too, But this one right here, I think,
- 4:09Speaker 1: what's cool about this hour that I did is that
- 4:12Speaker 1: it's the feeling that I think everybody got, like they
- 4:14Speaker 1: want their life back, Like it's one of those sort
- 4:16Speaker 1: of feelings that I think I captured the feeling of
- 4:19Speaker 1: the country where people were like, Yo, what's going on
- 4:23Speaker 1: with these kids not going back to school, what's going
- 4:25Speaker 1: on with this vaccination stuff, what's going on with the
- 4:28Speaker 1: with the Capitol Hill. Yes, I want to talk about
- 4:31Speaker 1: that because I did listen to it. So the January
- 4:34Speaker 1: sixth hearings are going on unelievable. Yes, and so you
- 4:37Speaker 1: talked about just these white people. You said there was
- 4:40Speaker 1: black people there, but they didn't go inside, right, they
- 4:42Speaker 1: were scared. Yeah, but he you know, there's always one one.
- 4:46Speaker 1: But the joke I said, it's like, you know, black
- 4:48Speaker 1: people know crime, and we also know time, so we
- 4:52Speaker 1: know that's fifteen to twenty. So that's why we stayed
- 4:54Speaker 1: on the steps. The white people just ran in there.
- 4:56Speaker 1: We're going, oh my god, running into the bathrooms, running
- 5:01Speaker 1: up the staircases, no plan of attack. They just ran
- 5:05Speaker 1: right like and then figured it out why they was running.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I didn't know when I was doing this joke, like
- 5:10Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, that right now was
- 5:13Speaker 1: the hearings, like so it so it's actually weird. It's
- 5:17Speaker 1: weird good timing that something that I'm talking about, it's
- 5:20Speaker 1: right now, what are you thinking while you're watching the hearings?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Have you been keeping up with going on? I think
- 5:24Speaker 1: it's insane, it's really crazy. I'm trying to figure out
- 5:28Speaker 1: what the end game is because it's like, you know,
- 5:31Speaker 1: the president didn't do a lot of things he should
- 5:34Speaker 1: have did, and he looks bananas right now, like is
- 5:37Speaker 1: it going to be a charger or we just wasting time?
- 5:39Speaker 1: Like because you you see as it unravels, how many
- 5:43Speaker 1: people had to allow this to happen, right, and you
- 5:46Speaker 1: saw him doing like the rehearsal, you see that this morning.
- 5:49Speaker 1: I can't say that. I'm not saying that. I already
- 5:53Speaker 1: said that. I say this again to find what I
- 5:57Speaker 1: was going to ask you that you talk about the pandemic.
- 5:59Speaker 1: You got you got a big family, So how was
- 6:01Speaker 1: the family during the pandemic with your kids and everything?
- 6:03Speaker 1: Because now you're not on the road, you really got
- 6:05Speaker 1: to talk to your sons and your wife. Yo, yo
- 6:07Speaker 1: yo yo. I really realized, like yo, like I knew
- 6:10Speaker 1: my kids. I thought I knew my kids I learned
- 6:12Speaker 1: my kids for real. Them two years was grindtime, like
- 6:15Speaker 1: like I'm like, yo, I know you're crazy. I know
- 6:18Speaker 1: you need more education, Like I just realized like you've
- 6:22Speaker 1: been skipping class, like yo, I thought you were smarter
- 6:25Speaker 1: than that, you know, or whatever. And then and then
- 6:27Speaker 1: it's also too It's like they was like, Daddy, like
- 6:30Speaker 1: you gonna be here another day like they used to
- 6:33Speaker 1: me being gone. So now I see all the moves.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And the funny thing is my kids play me one way,
- 6:40Speaker 1: played my wife the other way. It's like I see,
- 6:42Speaker 1: I see, oh, I see how y'all be too in
- 6:47Speaker 1: they come get me like in a drive where yo, dad,
- 6:50Speaker 1: what's something? And trying to get me to go this way?
- 6:53Speaker 1: And then I come in the house and she'd be
- 6:54Speaker 1: like what who said? Guy? Trying to get me enough
- 7:00Speaker 1: to investigation. It was a nicer and more lenient one
- 7:04Speaker 1: out of you and your wife. If the kids you say, okay.
- 7:08Speaker 1: But the thing about me is I'm fair Like I'm like,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I'm a throwback dad with a little bit of the
- 7:13Speaker 1: nuances of the new dad, right because I'm kind of
- 7:16Speaker 1: like James Evans trapped inside of like trying to be
- 7:20Speaker 1: a little more like the new wave dad, correct, But
- 7:23Speaker 1: I can't go from the old school because that's how
- 7:25Speaker 1: I was raised, right, So well, my thing is my
- 7:28Speaker 1: kids got to be accountable. Ain't no free rise, right, Like,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I'll take care of you. What you gotta do, you think?
- 7:33Speaker 1: But they sometimes they want to skip that and be like,
- 7:35Speaker 1: oh my god, God, you're like so aggressive. Well I'm aggressive,
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm all the time. Why do you talk to me
- 7:45Speaker 1: like that? You do talk crazy? You know what it is? Performers,
- 7:51Speaker 1: that's why because you probably are used to like getting
- 7:53Speaker 1: on stage, and he's used to doing his DJ voice, right,
- 7:56Speaker 1: so sometimes daddy voice is different. Yeah, that's what I'm
- 7:58Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. But sometimes my crossover into this, Yo,
- 8:02Speaker 1: my daughter tried to pull some little smooth because girls,
- 8:05Speaker 1: to me, like I learned so much being a dad
- 8:08Speaker 1: of a girl. Y'all learn how to move early, and
- 8:12Speaker 1: y'all know how to manipulate. Like, but it's a smoothment,
- 8:16Speaker 1: not in the mean way. Like my remember when my
- 8:18Speaker 1: daughter was like eleven, she was like, Daddy, I really
- 8:21Speaker 1: think it's time for me to have a phone. And
- 8:24Speaker 1: and here's the thing. All of my friends communicate with it,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and it would be a wonderful way for me to
- 8:30Speaker 1: communicate with my friends. So I need the iPhone nine
- 8:35Speaker 1: or whatever it was. And I was like, you know what,
- 8:37Speaker 1: that was a wonderful setup. Yeah it's good. I crashed
- 8:41Speaker 1: my parents' car and I was only fifteen. You crashed
- 8:45Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, I stole it, crashed the car, put
- 8:46Speaker 1: it back in the driveway, didn't say anything. My dad
- 8:48Speaker 1: came instead of yelling at me, and I was like,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I'm okay, thanks for asking. Oh, oh you slick. Oh
- 8:56Speaker 1: I wouldn't beat my daughter. But then you gotta walk
- 9:00Speaker 1: off after that, you know, thank you. More important to me, daddy,
- 9:07Speaker 1: thank you. What did your dad say after that? What
- 9:10Speaker 1: could he say? He was quiet? Yeah, I feel kind
- 9:13Speaker 1: of bad, Like I just yelled at her. What if
- 9:15Speaker 1: something happened? Yeah, my daughter, my daughter, I give her
- 9:20Speaker 1: like it's so funny, Like I think the best experience
- 9:25Speaker 1: is having a daughter for a guy. I really do.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I just think there's something wonderful about what it teaches us.
- 9:30Speaker 1: You know, with your son, you're going to be on
- 9:33Speaker 1: some man. I always tell dudes, it's like am FM
- 9:36Speaker 1: right with your daughter? You might be on FM? Your
- 9:39Speaker 1: son you're gonna be on am. It's two different ways
- 9:41Speaker 1: like facts and you're gonna communicate different What I love
- 9:44Speaker 1: about being the father of a daughter is you learn
- 9:47Speaker 1: your emotions differently, right, because you ain't gonna ever be
- 9:50Speaker 1: that way with your son. Like there's certain moves you
- 9:53Speaker 1: do with your son and it's this way. But with
- 9:55Speaker 1: your daughter, you they force you to deal with your feelings. Absolutely.
- 9:59Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. You know what that brings me to, I
- 10:02Speaker 1: want my life back. Because you also talked about how
- 10:04Speaker 1: men aren't good at being side pieces, but women, Yeah,
- 10:07Speaker 1: that's virus our emotions and controlling things. I think it's
- 10:11Speaker 1: funny because you talk about how we can be like okay,
- 10:13Speaker 1: I see you, okay, but y'all will lose your mind. No.
- 10:16Speaker 1: See the funny thing about that joke when I first
- 10:19Speaker 1: wrote that joke about men are not good at being
- 10:21Speaker 1: side checks because men are ego driven, correct, and our
- 10:27Speaker 1: egos can't bear the thought that we're coming off the
- 10:30Speaker 1: bench for a check. But a woman can come up
- 10:34Speaker 1: the bench for you. But you the thought that you
- 10:37Speaker 1: that she walked in this club and she act like
- 10:40Speaker 1: she don't know you. For a man, it's bananas and
- 10:42Speaker 1: if you Spanish, Spanish dudes are really crazy, like like
- 10:47Speaker 1: you talking about wine and Manuel, you're talking about them
- 10:50Speaker 1: when they see their girl and they think they side
- 10:53Speaker 1: chick is the real girl and they with a real
- 10:55Speaker 1: woman and they can't process like it goes hey wire
- 10:59Speaker 1: because they gotta they gotta sit in it. And she
- 11:02Speaker 1: she acting like you don't know, and he like yo.
- 11:06Speaker 1: So when I used to when I first time I
- 11:08Speaker 1: did that joke, the first three nights I did it,
- 11:10Speaker 1: it cost fights. That's why I knew I was cooking.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I was like, oh, people feel this because I remember
- 11:15Speaker 1: when I was doing a joke one time a girl
- 11:17Speaker 1: was like it's like that or it's like that, huh,
- 11:20Speaker 1: And I was like, he must be fresh in this
- 11:22Speaker 1: situation with a side chick and it's voluled to it here.
- 11:26Speaker 1: Next thing, I know what cops is at the comedy show. Wow,
- 11:31Speaker 1: what what happened? I ain't even you? You you madd
- 11:34Speaker 1: at me over something I did two years ago? Got real?
- 11:37Speaker 1: That's the worst explanation. Yeah, something I did two years Yeah,
- 11:41Speaker 1: ten years ago, something I did five years that's the
- 11:44Speaker 1: it's on your books, the book, that's the one because
- 11:47Speaker 1: that just lights another fight, Like what what you telling
- 11:50Speaker 1: me when I should get over it? Yeah? And so
- 11:53Speaker 1: the side chick thing, Um, what I like about it
- 11:56Speaker 1: was I flipped it the other way because usually you know,
- 11:58Speaker 1: as as men will, we look at it from the
- 12:01Speaker 1: female way. I want to flip it on us, Like, okay, now,
- 12:04Speaker 1: now the tables turn. How you living? How you living?
- 12:07Speaker 1: When she walking here and you see her real life,
- 12:10Speaker 1: Like that's that's tight on you and you you with
- 12:12Speaker 1: your lady, you gotta you gotta eat that in the
- 12:14Speaker 1: club and people see you, and that's when you know
- 12:17Speaker 1: you in love with your side check. Yeah, because you didn't.
- 12:19Speaker 1: The joke is men don't know their feelings. They learn them.
- 12:24Speaker 1: You see, do you think follow me on that. Dudes
- 12:26Speaker 1: don't really know how they care or if they really care,
- 12:29Speaker 1: like that the moment teach you. Yeah, because y'all also
- 12:32Speaker 1: try to act like you don't care. Yeah, dudes, be
- 12:33Speaker 1: acting like yeah, I'm I'm good be whatever she do.
- 12:36Speaker 1: It's just like, even if you break up with your girl, right,
- 12:39Speaker 1: there's always one person more in love than the other one, right,
- 12:42Speaker 1: And so the funny thing is like if your girl,
- 12:45Speaker 1: you and your girl break up and she move on quick,
- 12:48Speaker 1: you be you know what, You're right, And I'm thinking, now,
- 12:51Speaker 1: you're right, you're right. And we just had this into
- 12:53Speaker 1: my crib right right. So my wife was like, yeah,
- 12:54Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going away with the girls. I'm like, yeah,
- 12:56Speaker 1: I don't care. Right until she bought the ticket. Yeah,
- 13:00Speaker 1: I was like, yo, you really literally like like, y'all
- 13:02Speaker 1: leave it to mar really leave it like in the morning,
- 13:05Speaker 1: like how many days? So I me and my boys
- 13:08Speaker 1: we went on the boys tripping, do that every weekend?
- 13:11Speaker 1: Good with it, You'll be cool with that. She'd be like, yeah,
- 13:13Speaker 1: but you really don't go anywhere like that. I said,
- 13:15Speaker 1: but what if if I did? Yeah, I said, you're
- 13:17Speaker 1: really gonna go? And then I started doing the man.
- 13:19Speaker 1: I said, so wait a minute, you're gonna spend this
- 13:22Speaker 1: money to fly or you're flying first class? Right? Yeah? Okay,
- 13:25Speaker 1: here and there and then and and I don't go.
- 13:27Speaker 1: She was like, you said it was cool, you said,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I like, I ain't mean that. Though I ain't mean that,
- 13:31Speaker 1: you don't really mean it. You should pay for her
- 13:33Speaker 1: and all her friends on the girl's trip. You should
- 13:35Speaker 1: pay for the un villa. He's some good. Give us
- 13:39Speaker 1: some gag. Yeah. I like, I'm gonna pay for the
- 13:42Speaker 1: bella for y'all. Oh, you know what you do, you

- 13:48Speaker 1: good time. You smooth it on for Yeah, that's what
- 13:50Speaker 1: she's supposed to do. Is let's talk about this podcast.
- 13:54Speaker 1: You got a new podcast, Yes, sir, Top Billing with
- 13:56Speaker 1: Bill Bellaman. Yes, talk about the podcast, so and why
- 13:59Speaker 1: you decide to do it? First and foremost, I'm gonna
- 14:01Speaker 1: give you your flowers, both of y'all. You know, you
- 14:04Speaker 1: guys have done such a wonderful job of locking in
- 14:07Speaker 1: on the culture. And one of the things that I
- 14:09Speaker 1: want to give your flowers about it's like you guys
- 14:11Speaker 1: reminded me, and I said this to you on your show,
- 14:15Speaker 1: that you guys reminded me of my contribution to the culture,
- 14:18Speaker 1: like I forgot. I remember I came in there and
- 14:20Speaker 1: I was talking about the different interviews I had with
- 14:24Speaker 1: like you know, Little Kim and this and that, and
- 14:27Speaker 1: I was like, yo, that's bugged out. Like literally I
- 14:30Speaker 1: was on top of the game with everybody, and so
- 14:33Speaker 1: it spawned it in my head that maybe I can
- 14:36Speaker 1: contribute again to the culture, but in a way that
- 14:39Speaker 1: I can control it the way I want to do it,
- 14:41Speaker 1: because you know what I'm saying, Like I wanted to
- 14:42Speaker 1: do a podcast that was my personality plus funny, plus
- 14:46Speaker 1: like kick it with all the top cats in that game,
- 14:50Speaker 1: like now that we've grown, you know, and I know everybody.
- 14:53Speaker 1: So that's how Top Billing came out. And then you know,
- 14:55Speaker 1: I teamed up with Dave Mays, who created The Source.
- 15:00Speaker 1: He also has Don't Call Me White Girl. He Marco
- 15:04Speaker 1: like they're they're doing in a Freeway Ros says, a
- 15:09Speaker 1: brand new podcast as well. So so it's gonna be
- 15:12Speaker 1: eclectic stuff for the culture. I'm sort of like, I
- 15:15Speaker 1: feel like my show is the Marquis Show in a
- 15:18Speaker 1: sense where I'm going to go out and grab fifty.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab Floyd Mayweather, I'm gonna grab Elon Musk.
- 15:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab all these like Top Billing kind of
- 15:28Speaker 1: people that have been game change, game changers. That's what
- 15:31Speaker 1: I want to do. I said. The last episode you had,
- 15:33Speaker 1: Lunellan and y'all had a really interesting conversation about family. Yes,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and it is different like when a woman because she
- 15:40Speaker 1: goes on the road and she didn't realize until she
- 15:43Speaker 1: went on all y'alla fixed my life. Yes, with her family, Um,
- 15:47Speaker 1: you know there were some issues with her being gone
- 15:49Speaker 1: because sometimes as a person that works all the time,
- 15:52Speaker 1: I'm sure, but you could relate to that too. When
- 15:54Speaker 1: you have kids, you travel a lot, and you don't
- 15:56Speaker 1: realize the effect of not being there. You're thinking about,
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'm making money, I'm taking care of it to make
- 16:00Speaker 1: your life better, but that also means a sacrifice of
- 16:03Speaker 1: me not being able to be there. And I know
- 16:05Speaker 1: for you, and you've said this, you know at numerous times,
- 16:08Speaker 1: how you really have to step back because you wanted
- 16:10Speaker 1: to make sure. Yeah, it's hard. Like when Lounell did
- 16:13Speaker 1: that interview, it was really emotional because I felt her
- 16:17Speaker 1: pain right because she was like, I'm a mom, I'm
- 16:19Speaker 1: a female, you know, in a male dominated support comedy,
- 16:23Speaker 1: and I'm grinding, I'm trying to take care of my family,
- 16:25Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and she couldn't be there for her
- 16:27Speaker 1: daughter like that. And I was like, dangn because we
- 16:30Speaker 1: never think about the other side of you know, you know,
- 16:33Speaker 1: women going through it and being the maternal thing as
- 16:36Speaker 1: a woman missing your baby, that's tough, right, So I
- 16:40Speaker 1: was like, dang, So when I was getting and this
- 16:43Speaker 1: is the hardest thing for me, envy, you could relate
- 16:45Speaker 1: to this when your success comes like that, you don't
- 16:48Speaker 1: know when your wave come. So you catch a wave
- 16:51Speaker 1: and you gotta go get it, like you know the
- 16:53Speaker 1: wave mice stop right. So you're making all this money,
- 16:56Speaker 1: you're traveling, you on point bing bing bing, but then
- 16:59Speaker 1: you got school stuff and you gotta like I never
- 17:03Speaker 1: I didn't care what I was doing. I was not
- 17:04Speaker 1: missing daddy daughter dance like that to me was gonna
- 17:07Speaker 1: be my epic moment with my daughter, Like there's no
- 17:09Speaker 1: way she's in fourth grade. And then all the days
- 17:12Speaker 1: showed up. I don't care if I had a eighty
- 17:14Speaker 1: million dollar movie. I'm not doing it right. And so
- 17:16Speaker 1: I had to pick and choose jobs based on my
- 17:21Speaker 1: kids and my wife and my life and what we
- 17:23Speaker 1: needed to do so that I wouldn't wake up one
- 17:26Speaker 1: day and I have nothing, you know what I mean.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Was there like a moment that something happened that you said, Okay,
- 17:31Speaker 1: I have to make this conscious decision or did you
- 17:33Speaker 1: always feel like that The oddest thing was, I learned
- 17:37Speaker 1: this lesson from Dale hugely, right. So I'm at Hugle's
- 17:42Speaker 1: daughters I don't know, eighteen seventeenth birthday party and are
- 17:47Speaker 1: all the entertainers of there. And he really was emotional, right,
- 17:52Speaker 1: he said, I wish I could go back and create
- 17:56Speaker 1: half created more moments with you. I worked so hard
- 18:00Speaker 1: that I don't have any memories like I should have.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And I sat there and I was like, Yo, that's
- 18:05Speaker 1: deep as hell because d always working. And I was
- 18:08Speaker 1: saying my daughter at that time was probably two or three,
- 18:11Speaker 1: and I say, yo, man, that's that's that's fire information.
- 18:14Speaker 1: So because if you don't create memories and moments, you
- 18:17Speaker 1: don't have them. Correct. I don't care how much money
- 18:20Speaker 1: you make, you you will not have a connection with
- 18:22Speaker 1: your children the way you think you should have, right,
- 18:25Speaker 1: and then you can't go back to fix it. So
- 18:27Speaker 1: when I heard that, I kept that in my head
- 18:29Speaker 1: shout out to deal Hugly. I was like, yo, I
- 18:31Speaker 1: got to balance this thing because I'm like, I don't
- 18:34Speaker 1: want to feel like he's feeling right now, because that's
- 18:37Speaker 1: a real feeling, you know what I mean. And that's
- 18:40Speaker 1: when I said, Yo, no matter what I'm doing. I'm
- 18:42Speaker 1: gonna make time now. That's good because I haven't got
- 18:45Speaker 1: there yet, right, And I'm gonna tell you what because
- 18:48Speaker 1: like you said, it's a wave right right. And we've
- 18:51Speaker 1: seen so many friends, celebrities, athletes, all this rappers, DJ's,
- 18:55Speaker 1: comedians hit that wave and then lose that wave and
- 18:58Speaker 1: it never bounced back. Yes, sir, So it's like why
- 19:01Speaker 1: you got that wave? You try to do both. So
- 19:03Speaker 1: I try to bring my family along with me, which
- 19:05Speaker 1: is good, which like if I got a show, I
- 19:07Speaker 1: gotta do something. I try to bring everybody with me
- 19:10Speaker 1: or bring my son or daughter with me so that
- 19:12Speaker 1: way they can experience. But that's always been tough. And
- 19:14Speaker 1: I would say since a kid, I've been waiting for
- 19:17Speaker 1: the daddy daughter dance. And you know, I have four
- 19:19Speaker 1: daughters and never had a dance. The school's never had it. No,
- 19:23Speaker 1: we never had that grown up either. It's freezing. See
- 19:28Speaker 1: little TV. I've been dying my one daughter, she's twenty,
- 19:32Speaker 1: nothing gone one. We haven't had one yet. The one
- 19:37Speaker 1: that's five. Still know like I've been waiting for the
- 19:40Speaker 1: daddy daughter day. Joe, every you gotta do it like
- 19:46Speaker 1: you gotta make one up so you can have a feeling.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Let me tell you what for all the dads out
- 19:50Speaker 1: there that got daughters, let me tell you why the
- 19:51Speaker 1: daddy daughter dance's so flop because it's almost like Cinderella.
- 19:55Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like you know, Prince Charming or whatever. Right,
- 19:58Speaker 1: but your daughter is so beautiful. She got a little
- 20:02Speaker 1: thing on, and you get and you get dressed up
- 20:04Speaker 1: and you do the dance with her, and it is
- 20:07Speaker 1: absolutely it just touches your heart in a way. You
- 20:10Speaker 1: just be like, yo, this is like And then all
- 20:14Speaker 1: the dads feel the exact same way. You see it
- 20:16Speaker 1: in their face, and you do a choreograph dance and
- 20:19Speaker 1: you walk her out. Man, it's prices. You gotta do it.
- 20:23Speaker 1: You gotta do it in the house every Why don't
- 20:25Speaker 1: you start one? And then you should start. If you
- 20:28Speaker 1: start it, Eavy, you could do it at the car show.
- 20:32Speaker 1: You will be heroic, right, just you gotta create. It'll
- 20:36Speaker 1: be so many dads be like everything you back, got
- 20:40Speaker 1: me over here by my car, client back, I can't
- 20:44Speaker 1: believe you this at the car show. You could do
- 20:46Speaker 1: it at like one of your one of the buying houses,
- 20:49Speaker 1: flipping homes, n I'm not making an event, and it's
- 20:56Speaker 1: for fathers and their daughters only, and it's a it's
- 20:59Speaker 1: a dinner and a situation where you can share with
- 21:01Speaker 1: your daughter and create that moment your daughter. Never forget it.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Brow Can it be a guy? We just called daddy
- 21:08Speaker 1: you can't come here? And Ddy want to come. You
- 21:11Speaker 1: can't come, she said, Can I bring my no now?
- 21:15Speaker 1: On another episode on your podcast, you talk to Tony
- 21:18Speaker 1: rock Yes about the infamous slap So what were your
- 21:21Speaker 1: thoughts and both of these guys, I think the slap
- 21:27Speaker 1: man was was to me was unfortunate, you know because
- 21:32Speaker 1: on a lot of levels. First it was it was
- 21:35Speaker 1: it was disservice to each other, to Will and to
- 21:39Speaker 1: Chris because it's like, yo, man, we're all in this
- 21:42Speaker 1: game trying to win. This ain't the place for that,
- 21:45Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm just being completely honest.
- 21:47Speaker 1: I'm just like you. I thought it was a skit.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I say, please tell me they're playing like this is crazy.
- 21:52Speaker 1: It's the Oscars and I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm onna.
- 21:54Speaker 1: I'm one of the Academy members, bro, so I get
- 21:57Speaker 1: all the emails, so I know it's popping right, this
- 22:00Speaker 1: is an important moment for Will Smith. To me, I'm like, yo,
- 22:03Speaker 1: you know I voted for Will. I'm like, yo, they
- 22:05Speaker 1: got to give Will his oscar on this when this
- 22:07Speaker 1: is crazy he murdered that role. I was like, please, God,
- 22:12Speaker 1: let this not be No Shenanigans. Give Will Smith his flowers, right,
- 22:16Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the brother. I'm like, go, boh, woll
- 22:18Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like boa Will, right, And
- 22:21Speaker 1: so when that happened, I was like, oh no, oh no,
- 22:25Speaker 1: not tonight. Whoa this is ski No, it's not. I
- 22:29Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, this is real real. So
- 22:32Speaker 1: now I'm like embarrassed as a black man. I'm embarrassed.
- 22:36Speaker 1: So your white friends the next thing and be like, hey,
- 22:38Speaker 1: so what did you think about slapping them all? And
- 22:42Speaker 1: I'm like, and I don't know why I would be
- 22:43Speaker 1: taking it so personal because I always feel like I'm
- 22:45Speaker 1: representing every black man on the planet. Right when every
- 22:48Speaker 1: time I do something, I feel like I'm represens you you,
- 22:50Speaker 1: I feel like that's why I'm doing it, Like I
- 22:52Speaker 1: want to be an example of what we saw, and
- 22:54Speaker 1: Will literally has been an example his whole career. Absolutely
- 22:57Speaker 1: so I would have never expect like that would happen.
- 22:59Speaker 1: So as I'm processing, I'm like, yo, this really happened
- 23:02Speaker 1: in real time. This is bananas, Like this is a
- 23:07Speaker 1: soft situation, like I didn't know which way it was
- 23:10Speaker 1: gonna go. So I'm sitting there going, wow, man, what
- 23:14Speaker 1: are we going to do? And so I think what
- 23:18Speaker 1: should have happened hindsight, he should have brought him up
- 23:20Speaker 1: right there when he did his acceptance. He should have
- 23:22Speaker 1: grabbed him right there, apologize on the spot, not let
- 23:26Speaker 1: it go by, like if you could redo it. I
- 23:28Speaker 1: think he should have embraced him, apologize to him in
- 23:31Speaker 1: the moment that he accepted his thing and made it
- 23:33Speaker 1: a nice bow. But if you were Chris Rockwood, you
- 23:36Speaker 1: have wanted to go up there. And after that happened.
- 23:40Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe he didn't go. He didn't
- 23:43Speaker 1: go up there. He should have acknowledged it in the moment.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I think that would have cleaned it up a little better.
- 23:48Speaker 1: But now it's you know, it was one of those
- 23:51Speaker 1: moments that you can't fix. You know, you can't go back.
- 23:54Speaker 1: You could be sorry, but you can't fix it. To me,
- 23:56Speaker 1: it overshadowed quest loves moment. You forget quest Love got
- 24:00Speaker 1: an oscar that night. You forget that the first um
- 24:04Speaker 1: deaf actor won an oscar. It's never happened. There was
- 24:08Speaker 1: a lot of packard produced, like Will didn't shout out
- 24:12Speaker 1: the weather, yo, yo, y'all kill it. So the whole
- 24:17Speaker 1: show was entertaining for once, you know, because sometimes I
- 24:20Speaker 1: ask because you're like, just get to be actor, you
- 24:23Speaker 1: know what I mean? So to me, um just putting
- 24:28Speaker 1: a nice button on it. It was an unfortunate situation
- 24:31Speaker 1: that we all should learn from that. Yo. Man, one
- 24:35Speaker 1: one one false move could could could change your whole
- 24:38Speaker 1: trajectory in your life. Right, And I know Tony Rock
- 24:41Speaker 1: was upset as he should. Like people are like, oh,
- 24:42Speaker 1: he's going too far. That's his brother. Yeah, Perio is
- 24:47Speaker 1: more than Chris Rock. I know. I didn't even know
- 24:50Speaker 1: it was ten of them. Right, it's a lot, it's
- 24:52Speaker 1: a lot of rocks down. I was walking to my
- 24:55Speaker 1: park a lot the other day, right, and the brother
- 24:57Speaker 1: pulled up to me like, what what's up. It's like, yeah,
- 24:59Speaker 1: I'm on the rocks. I'm so so rock. I had
- 25:01Speaker 1: to think, I said, did I say anything about to say?
- 25:06Speaker 1: I messed with the show. But that's what he's voted.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Especially when you have you know, because we got people
- 25:10Speaker 1: in the family. You got members in your family that's
- 25:12Speaker 1: about that life, like they want to fight. You got
- 25:14Speaker 1: members in the family that ain't about that life, right,
- 25:16Speaker 1: But the members of the family that's about that life
- 25:18Speaker 1: gonna stick up for that one all the time. And
- 25:20Speaker 1: I have to think about that because he did have
- 25:22Speaker 1: a little issue with Chris Rock at a point. I
- 25:24Speaker 1: did mean, Chris, you don't know what issue, what happened?
- 25:27Speaker 1: Why would he know this because it was I mean,
- 25:29Speaker 1: it was went viral for a second, so get your face.
- 25:32Speaker 1: I was coaching. I was coaching my daughters. Okay, basketball team. Okay,
- 25:37Speaker 1: Chris Rock and my daughter are the same Chris Rock's
- 25:39Speaker 1: daughter and my daughter the same age. Okay, so his
- 25:41Speaker 1: daughter played on the opposing team. Okay, so my good Yeah,
- 25:46Speaker 1: this silly. My girls went up to Chris after the
- 25:48Speaker 1: game we won and was like, and I have an autograph,
- 25:51Speaker 1: and he said no, mm right, this is a long
- 25:55Speaker 1: time ago. So I took it offensive with the two
- 26:00Speaker 1: next day we had another game, back to back game. Okay, right,
- 26:03Speaker 1: so we have a good girl that was really good
- 26:05Speaker 1: so she had testing to do, so I picked up
- 26:08Speaker 1: from the test to make sure she could actually play.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Because she's your star. We're about to give it to him, right,
- 26:13Speaker 1: I already know where you at. So I didn't take
- 26:15Speaker 1: it out of the game at all. No, she has seventy.
- 26:19Speaker 1: We blew him out by eighty four. Come on, now,
- 26:22Speaker 1: that's disrespectful. I love you. You had to, right and
- 26:27Speaker 1: Chris knew each other, right, right. I mean it's the
- 26:29Speaker 1: sports stuff that you gotta understand sports. It's sports and
- 26:32Speaker 1: daddy's stuff combined. But he had to. He had Kobe,
- 26:35Speaker 1: so give up. The other girls on the team. We're
- 26:38Speaker 1: not so bad. So he's cursing at me at the game,
- 26:42Speaker 1: yelling at me and daddy. Ever, so I lead a
- 26:43Speaker 1: girl even more. Oh no, hit a three roll dud.
- 26:48Speaker 1: You're going in. I'm going in. Why are you? Because
- 26:51Speaker 1: you can't tell it? After the game, my girls going
- 26:54Speaker 1: to go to him again. Can we get we get
- 26:56Speaker 1: a picture? No, because your coach is a dick, you know.
- 26:58Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good reason, but that so you know,
- 27:00Speaker 1: I went on the radio next and you brought it
- 27:02Speaker 1: up on him a little little bit, a little bit,
- 27:05Speaker 1: and then he came up in then we squatted it out,
- 27:07Speaker 1: but you know it was you know, but bro, listen,
- 27:10Speaker 1: that's that. But that's that. That is one of those moments,
- 27:13Speaker 1: like it's it's a beautiful dad moment because we'll do
- 27:16Speaker 1: anything for our daughters and our kids. So it's like
- 27:19Speaker 1: for you to say no to my child, you're saying
- 27:21Speaker 1: no to that's that's personal. Because I had the same
- 27:24Speaker 1: scenario ready, but a little different. So it's Kobe's last
- 27:28Speaker 1: game at the Clippers game, and my son was the
- 27:32Speaker 1: He was a Clipper boy like he was, you know,
- 27:34Speaker 1: getting the towels and this stuff. So coach hook him
- 27:36Speaker 1: up and he was he was at the game. So
- 27:38Speaker 1: my son said, Daddy, I got to get an autograph
- 27:42Speaker 1: with Kobe Bryant. I said, okay, cool, cool. I was
- 27:45Speaker 1: like at the end of the game. So I see
- 27:48Speaker 1: Kobe at halftime and I'm like, yo, this is my
- 27:50Speaker 1: little man, right. He was like, Yo, that's oh man.
- 27:52Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I say, can't he get an autograph?
- 27:54Speaker 1: After the game? He said, I got you cool, So
- 27:57Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm like, Kobe said, yes, we're good. Boom
- 28:00Speaker 1: as it means a lot. It means a lot and
- 28:03Speaker 1: Sean Kim will tell you this is true. Right, So,
- 28:06Speaker 1: Sean Kim is with his with his son. We're backstage,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and I'm feeling, I mean my feelings a little bit
- 28:11Speaker 1: because it's looking like Kobe is not going to do it.
- 28:13Speaker 1: He's got every he's got thirty forty people asking him
- 28:16Speaker 1: questions whatever. He don't see me. I'm standing there feeling
- 28:19Speaker 1: like a group of little trying to be but I'm
- 28:23Speaker 1: doing this. You see, I'm doing this is my little
- 28:27Speaker 1: man with the kid that I remember that you said,
- 28:30Speaker 1: don't forget my man. Right. I'm sitting there right and
- 28:34Speaker 1: Sean Kim is right next to me, and I'm like, Shot, Sean,
- 28:39Speaker 1: am I playing myself. I'm so Jersey right now. I'm
- 28:42Speaker 1: on cause now you didn't have about something like yo,
- 28:45Speaker 1: forty minutes minutes got you baking like yo, Kobe got
- 28:50Speaker 1: me looking crazy in front of my son and my
- 28:54Speaker 1: sons like that. I thought you knew him. I'm smashing,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but I'm trying to contain. But Shot Kivin's like, yo,
- 29:06Speaker 1: be he's up. He's up. It's for your son, be
- 29:10Speaker 1: you and your feeling relax, And that's what he's saying
- 29:13Speaker 1: that Cooby, go yo beat, come on, let me sign
- 29:15Speaker 1: you think Jesus, oh god, my ears about to blow up.
- 29:22Speaker 1: I don't know why I took it so person so
- 29:24Speaker 1: I can relate to you. I was like, my son
- 29:27Speaker 1: is eight, he loves you. Man yourself would have been like,
- 29:32Speaker 1: it's okay, Dad, forget it. Look like my son. I
- 29:36Speaker 1: could tell him. He was like, yo, Dad, I don't
- 29:38Speaker 1: think he I don't think you know him like that.
- 29:41Speaker 1: You start scratching like that. You know we could go
- 29:43Speaker 1: to the car, Dad, we could leave, we hire. I
- 29:45Speaker 1: mean I thought you and him was cool. It's an
- 29:47Speaker 1: ego thing, because ego thing it comes in there, you
- 29:52Speaker 1: trying to I met everybody like like honestly, Jackson, I
- 29:57Speaker 1: mean I met everybody. So I'm not like I was
- 30:00Speaker 1: wasn't getting vape. I was kind of just in my
- 30:02Speaker 1: feelings because I think I was embarrassed because for my son.
- 30:06Speaker 1: So I don't know where I went with it, you
- 30:07Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? Like I was like, yo,
- 30:09Speaker 1: yo code you say yes. But if we laughed me
- 30:14Speaker 1: Chris laugh about all the time because none of about
- 30:16Speaker 1: the good to play basketball at all, Like they don't
- 30:17Speaker 1: even care about basketball period. So it was more about
- 30:20Speaker 1: me and him. Yeah. Girls, that's what I'm saying. They
- 30:22Speaker 1: didn't have nothing to do. They were innocent bystanding. That
- 30:26Speaker 1: is actually funny. They don't even let me think about
- 30:30Speaker 1: it no more. And that was an ego one. And
- 30:33Speaker 1: the one time they kicked me out of Kevin Hart's
- 30:35Speaker 1: comedy show because they had it, I didn't kick out.
- 30:39Speaker 1: And he thinks he has privileges that he's like, can
- 30:42Speaker 1: do stuff that other people can't do. So if they
- 30:44Speaker 1: tell you at the beginning of the show, put your
- 30:47Speaker 1: phones away, the phones have to be do not use
- 30:49Speaker 1: your phone. If you take your phone out, we will
- 30:53Speaker 1: out a phone. Rang. It was up, babe. It was like, sir,
- 30:58Speaker 1: you gotta get out, you buget. He was like Kevin serious,
- 31:09Speaker 1: no way, And you know what Kevin said, that's right.
- 31:13Speaker 1: He was like I've seen you. He was like, I've
- 31:14Speaker 1: seen you, but I told you no phone? How did
- 31:16Speaker 1: you use? Just as an example, no, I know you, yo,

- 32:50Speaker 1: You know you you don't get over losing your parents.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Like it's just like one of those things. You just
- 32:54Speaker 1: gotta take a day at a time, right you You
- 32:57Speaker 1: Like I tell people like you have a great day,
- 33:00Speaker 1: and then another day you might have a half a
- 33:01Speaker 1: good day, then one day you might have a whole
- 33:04Speaker 1: bad day until you able to level out. The thing
- 33:07Speaker 1: for me that's been helpful is, you know, working and
- 33:11Speaker 1: I got things to do that kind of like not
- 33:14Speaker 1: let me sit in it because it's not going to
- 33:18Speaker 1: change unfortunately, And it's just one of those things that
- 33:20Speaker 1: sucks your energy now because you get depressed, you know
- 33:23Speaker 1: what I mean, And then you don't radiate where like
- 33:25Speaker 1: where I want to radiate now with all these projects
- 33:28Speaker 1: and things that are going I gotta get up here
- 33:30Speaker 1: and I don't want to be depressed and stay down here.
- 33:32Speaker 1: But you sometimes you can't help it. It's just reality, yeah,
- 33:36Speaker 1: because I think it's expected too, Like you should be
- 33:39Speaker 1: at times depressed and sad about it, and then you
- 33:42Speaker 1: feel better. I just had a moment yesterday that was profound.
- 33:48Speaker 1: So I'm waiting for you to tape your show about that.
- 33:53Speaker 1: Earlier it was like, only vets come on time? Yeah,
- 33:56Speaker 1: he was like. She was like he was three hours earlier. Yeah,
- 33:59Speaker 1: I can't. It was stupid, But came back another thirty
- 34:07Speaker 1: minute time. Yeah, I came here. I wanted to do.
- 34:08Speaker 1: That's what you do. That was like it was like,
- 34:11Speaker 1: because I'm always on time too, and so but you
- 34:13Speaker 1: know a lot of times people be late, but I
- 34:15Speaker 1: feel like that's a professional thing. Yeah, I don't want
- 34:17Speaker 1: to be you know, I don't know ghetto stuff, but
- 34:19Speaker 1: real quick. So yesterday I was having a like pretty
- 34:23Speaker 1: good day or whatever. Right, so I run into Mike Geronimo.
- 34:27Speaker 1: This is the most random story. You know, I got
- 34:29Speaker 1: great stories. But so I'm in the studio he's going
- 34:31Speaker 1: to record, and we passed each other in the hallway
- 34:34Speaker 1: and he's like, yo, Bill Geronimo and I know his

- 35:13Speaker 1: Would he want you to be this sad or would
- 35:15Speaker 1: he wants you to move on and keep moving and
- 35:18Speaker 1: keep your head up? And I was like, yo, what
- 35:20Speaker 1: made you say that? He was like I don't know.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I was yo. It was like everything I needed, everything
- 35:28Speaker 1: I needed. He put me on twenty and I know

- 35:33Speaker 1: coolest street profound. He hit me with like like a
- 35:37Speaker 1: spirit spoke through him. And the only reason I ran
- 35:40Speaker 1: into him because I had to go back room. Oh
- 35:42Speaker 1: that's where you were? I yeah, I was going to
- 35:45Speaker 1: bathroom and he was leaving and I was just like yo,
- 35:47Speaker 1: but he but he helped me out so shout out
- 35:49Speaker 1: to my Geronimo. That is done. You've also been talking
- 35:51Speaker 1: about this part two, the sequel for this almost ten
- 35:56Speaker 1: years now. Yeah, because I did still look like twenty one. Yeah,
- 36:00Speaker 1: still pull it off, right. I just gotta get ripped
- 36:02Speaker 1: a little bit because I gotta have my shirt off
- 36:03Speaker 1: in a couple of scenes. So I'm gonna have to
- 36:05Speaker 1: stop the bagels. And I love pickles. So I came
- 36:08Speaker 1: up with an idea though that I want her in
- 36:10Speaker 1: the movie, you know, but she you know, you can't
- 36:13Speaker 1: be drinking in the movie, not the whole movie, just
- 36:15Speaker 1: one scene should be walking through. You want another mom bells,
- 36:21Speaker 1: she said. She said we should do it all girls version. Yeah,
- 36:24Speaker 1: but women's version of how to be a player at
- 36:25Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Would you you're gonna be the star
- 36:28Speaker 1: of it. I don't know if I could be the start,
- 36:30Speaker 1: but you're gonna be in it because you play it though?
- 36:33Speaker 1: How you doing? She got all the moves, she knows
- 36:36Speaker 1: how to do it. We came up yesterday we were
- 36:39Speaker 1: talking about this is the funniest Joe. Do you know
- 36:42Speaker 1: how slick women in and how they stick together when
- 36:44Speaker 1: they got a lie? She said, her teams like a girl's.
- 36:48Speaker 1: They practice scenarios so when they come up, they're gout
- 36:52Speaker 1: like Navy seals. Bro Let me tell you about God.
- 36:56Speaker 1: Tell you just one story that's playing Broo. Okay, right,
- 37:02Speaker 1: I'm watching on TV. I see Hove sitting at the
- 37:05Speaker 1: at the at the game. Angelie told me she was
- 37:07Speaker 1: going on a date. Right right, she goes on the date.
- 37:11Speaker 1: And I guess the seats were as good as we're
- 37:14Speaker 1: in the box. We had box seat boxing, but you
- 37:16Speaker 1: looking up it was too high, right, you want to
- 37:18Speaker 1: hear snakers? You're like, I want to hear sneakers. Good.
- 37:23Speaker 1: I see Hove. She's sitting next to Hove and then
- 37:26Speaker 1: next to Mike Kaiser. You lying left her date three
- 37:29Speaker 1: hundred by himself balls, just like you're doing. You're doing it.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Don't play basketball, no more of the game. Yeah, you
- 37:39Speaker 1: don't play. It's like I'll be right back, came back.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Not No, I was, I was honest. I was like, look,
- 37:45Speaker 1: I mean I didn't lie. What's gonna be mad about that?
- 37:52Speaker 1: You enjoying the box? It wasn't even texted like how
- 37:58Speaker 1: is the box? Yeah? I mean enjoy your open bar?
- 38:02Speaker 1: Before I went down, like yo, I can't believe you
- 38:09Speaker 1: did that, but I'm proud of you. It's like, g
- 38:11Speaker 1: move though. I mean, who wouldn't do that though? But
- 38:14Speaker 1: but see, here's the thing. You are accustomed to a
- 38:17Speaker 1: certain lifestyle, you know, and the privileges, and the box
- 38:20Speaker 1: was too hot. She her nose was leaking up that.
- 38:25Speaker 1: But it wasn't It wasn't a real date. He was like,
- 38:28Speaker 1: do you want to go to the game day? That
- 38:30Speaker 1: is a date. He was trying to pursue it. He
- 38:33Speaker 1: picked you up. Y'all just met that. Yeah, no, you
- 38:35Speaker 1: gotta go down there game. They ain't any official I think,
- 38:38Speaker 1: get flowers. Nothing out of day. My goodness. Oh you
- 38:42Speaker 1: know what else you talked about that I want to
- 38:44Speaker 1: address to this whole entanglement. You talked about it. She did,
- 38:49Speaker 1: really like now because it's interesting because you know, I
- 38:53Speaker 1: did the August interview where he talked about it for
- 38:55Speaker 1: the first time, okay, and everybody was like, oh my
- 38:57Speaker 1: godess too. But you know, there's always whispers about things,
- 39:00Speaker 1: things that are happening in Hollywood, and people kind of
- 39:02Speaker 1: knew about it, as you were saying, but it was
- 39:05Speaker 1: like a shock to the rest of the world. Do
- 39:07Speaker 1: you think that's something as a man that you could
- 39:09Speaker 1: get over an entanglement like what happened. Wow, I mean
- 39:14Speaker 1: you probably can. I mean in time. But like I said,
- 39:18Speaker 1: for guys, our egos are humous, and you know, you
- 39:23Speaker 1: gotta kind of be like you gotta throw it over
- 39:26Speaker 1: your shoulder like the drink, or you never gonna get past.
- 39:29Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a stumbling block, you know what
- 39:31Speaker 1: I'm saying. Because you don't. I think if you do it,
- 39:33Speaker 1: don't ask too many questions because you get in there,
- 39:36Speaker 1: you're done, Like, you know, was it better than me? Babe?
- 39:39Speaker 1: Want to see you can't get in there. That's like
- 39:44Speaker 1: doing a threesome and then your girl leave for the
- 39:46Speaker 1: other dude. That's basically happen. Okay, for the other dude,
- 39:50Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but or the other woman.
- 39:52Speaker 1: Because that happened, that can't happen too. I've seen that happen.
- 39:55Speaker 1: I happened to you. Thank God. That's too much drummer.
- 40:00Speaker 1: That's a super integrament. But what I'm saying is, like
- 40:03Speaker 1: with with the Will and Jada situation. The reason I
- 40:07Speaker 1: wrote that joke because it was something that like I
- 40:09Speaker 1: heard about hurt about her to hurt about and then
- 40:11Speaker 1: when it got revealed and I just studied it, I
- 40:13Speaker 1: just had I gotta find an angle on it. That's
- 40:15Speaker 1: funny even though it's a tough situation. And that's how
- 40:19Speaker 1: I got to the men being a side check because
- 40:20Speaker 1: guys don't realize, you know, in that situation, you you
- 40:24Speaker 1: basically are the side check. Like you know, she not
- 40:26Speaker 1: leaving her man for you. You know you you you
- 40:29Speaker 1: you you to clean up right you you come, you
- 40:31Speaker 1: get the Tuesday Wednesday join. You ain't getting the weekendhog Day,
- 40:35Speaker 1: groundhog Day because I said, I said, I said in
- 40:41Speaker 1: a special, you gotta learn your holidays when you're a
- 40:43Speaker 1: side check, because you can't get the main holid days,
- 40:46Speaker 1: not the majorsay ground hug Day. See she give me something.
- 40:53Speaker 1: You gotta watch it. I think you're gonna find. Yeah,
- 40:55Speaker 1: it's really funny, and it's really funny stuff in there
- 40:59Speaker 1: that it's such a really New York attitude in it
- 41:03Speaker 1: that you I did a joke about Takashi that went viral,
- 41:07Speaker 1: like it was just about how I would be a
- 41:09Speaker 1: snitch too, Like you know what I'm saying, Like I'm
- 41:11Speaker 1: not doing fifty two years or whatever they offered him
- 41:14Speaker 1: was a lot of years. Like that's a lot. So
- 41:16Speaker 1: I'm telling, like telling, we're not going to negotiate this, yeah,
- 41:20Speaker 1: because a lot of people will be like listen, the
- 41:23Speaker 1: code is right. Everybody wants you to be Everybody say
- 41:26Speaker 1: the cold is real till it's fifty five years. That's right,
- 41:29Speaker 1: Like that's a that's a good amount of time to
- 41:32Speaker 1: be away. Like you're telling Envy, I'm not doing no chromble,
- 41:36Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, it depends who am I'm telling
- 41:39Speaker 1: all that, But it's fifty five years he's telling. He's telling.
- 41:44Speaker 1: He's not going to tell close enough to you to
- 41:48Speaker 1: tell you. You're not doing fifty years to nobody. If
- 41:52Speaker 1: it's a week and he's telling, it depends, like if
- 41:56Speaker 1: it's could you sit down for a weekend for your man,
- 42:00Speaker 1: so he speak one of your best friends whatever, when
- 42:03Speaker 1: you say that for a week, you could do it
- 42:05Speaker 1: clean clean, But fifty is he lying? If he acts yo, fifty,
- 42:11Speaker 1: get your back tight because you know what fifty is.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Fifty is a minute Like who yo, you'd be like
- 42:19Speaker 1: my man man? Like your stomach like, yo, is he
- 42:22Speaker 1: my cousin on my play? So the funny. The funny
- 42:27Speaker 1: thing about it is it makes you question where you
- 42:29Speaker 1: at with it, like, Okay, are you that loyal or
- 42:32Speaker 1: is loyalty crazy for you? Because that's a less amount
- 42:35Speaker 1: of loyalty that makes no sense to me, Like I
- 42:37Speaker 1: didn't do the crime you did. Yeah, And if I
- 42:40Speaker 1: didn't do the crime, no, your boy, you are a
- 42:42Speaker 1: witness to something. And if you tell, if you tell,
- 42:47Speaker 1: you get off. Oh if I didn't do the crime,
- 42:49Speaker 1: because sometimes you get it for me just being there.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Oh what Mike tell Mikey, Mikey. They called us, They
- 42:57Speaker 1: called you, Mike, they called you, come out, yo, Mike.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I got your I got all your stuff out here.

- 43:13Speaker 1: was over, you were supposed to replace him. Is there
