• 6:35
  Speaker 1: literally like to do what. I was like, I don't
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And he goes he's gonna
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: do comment and say oh okay, and it's I said,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it's his town. Fuck it. Let him go up. And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: all I said was, you know, I saw Ti because
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I'm tr fan. So I was like, yo, T, what's up.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But I went straight to the green room because I'm like,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm done. I'm a headliner. I'm done. I'm going
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to decompress. That's what I do. I don't give a
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: fuck who's in the room. That is what I've always done.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So they were like on my podcast, They're like, Yo,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: did you go see him? I said, no, I don't
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: know what. I'm a headliner, and I mean, I've never
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't know him to do comedy, so I'm not
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: going to watch, not saying he shouldn't be doing comedy.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just a headliner. I just finished. It was for
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that moment. But then I know somebody took that excerpt
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to be saying that showed it to TI. And then
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: TI was in the woods. You know when t I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: go to the woods. I just wanted to say something
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and I need to expeditionally take care of this situation.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh shit. And then you know
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: when tis in the woods and he has that angle,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: it's like when Snoop Dogg is man, all you see
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: is his nostrils. Yeah, as his auntie star part. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: oh Snoop about to fuck somebody up. But yeah, he
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was like some people were like, yo, did you And
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it just it spread like wildfire, and I had dudes
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: from the South, like comments from the South calling me
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like yo, you see that shit? T I said somebody
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and saying what happened? And so I didn't even think
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: about it because as a comedian, that's just how we talk.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But like, yo, he's a comic. He he don't put
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: his time in. This is just this is just the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: way we talked as comedian. And they took it as
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: an I was hating on him doing comedy. I said, Nah, dude,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't go watch him because I'm not gonna watch
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: somebody that I don't know if that's known for comedy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: After I've headlined that's it was just for that moment. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: if it would have happened that TI came before I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: went up and said, hey man, I want to do
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: some time, I'll go yeah, I don't know the fuck,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and then I would have watched just to say tis
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: doing comedy, that's all, you know. So after that then
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I addressed him right away. I said, because people it went,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, everybody's like, yo, what are you gonna do?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What you do? And of course people can't wait to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: go in here. Your DM got a man you will
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: put a me ta and doing fucking. I was like, yo, dude,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Nick Cannon. I told him about it. He goes, yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I heard about that ship, and then he facetimed us.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I said, let's talk. Let's go face to face. Man,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm Chicago all day. I just want to let you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: know I'm Chicago and even though I've been in New
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: York for twenty years, I'm a Chicago guy. So we
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I go face to face to here. I go, hey, man,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: let's talk about this squashed. It is not a big deal.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: And we talked it out. We had a really nice conversation,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and he said, you know, I look at
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you as a goat man. You wanted to you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the greats in comedy. I said, well, I appreciate that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: That the podcast I heard the podcast, well this is before,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this is the afternoon before a few hours before the podcast.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And I said, no, I appreciate that. But then I said,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you know what, I even apologize. I said, I'm sorry
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that you took it the wrong way. It's nothing wrong
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: with apologizing to another dude, you know, especially black. We
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: need to learn to just go, hey man, I'm sorry.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with that. It doesn't mean I'm a punk.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I don't do any of that ship. I say, hey man,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry about that, but I'm not sorry about the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: way I felt about how we are as comedians, as protocol.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: It's just that's like And then I told him, I said,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that's like me. After you finished rhyme and I go, yo,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: my man, T I know you just rocked this concert,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but I got a couple songs to drop real quick.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You'd be like, exactly, but that's but you got to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: explain it to him in that way because that's the world.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: He understands that and I and so when I looked
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: at it from his angle, I could see and there
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: are other comedians coming at him crazy. So it was
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a build up. So when I said something, then it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: just added to the whole thing. But we squashed it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Then I say, can you do my podcast? He said,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I loved podcast? And I said, when we had the podcast,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: then it got It got a little heated because he said, man,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I thought you was cool when I first met you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in the green room, and then the next minute you dog.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I said, it wasn't a two faced thing. I was
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: just talking as a comedian doing comedy twenty five years
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and then you're doing But I've always been a fan
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of comedy, I know, but I have never seen you
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: perform it. So it was just one of those things.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But we were cool as that's the true that people
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: could hype things up. So if y'all imagine you guys
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: didn't directly have a conversation, oh shit, it could be
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: something that really likes. And I said, I like Atlanta.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I want to be able to come I want to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: be able to come back. I loved him. That's one
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of my favorite people in one of my favorite rappers.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But yes, can't approach everything like the rap world either though.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah this, you know what I mean. And I heard
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: him on the podcast and he was talking like, y'all, man,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: don't poke the bell, don't poke back, and I was like,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to poke the bell, don't the ball.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm superstar. I don't poke the ball. And then it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: other words like yeah, man, T I never poke them up,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know. But you know, we got side bets on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: who's gonna be the first comedian t I end up slaping? Yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: we do. We have side bet and Ti is really
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: passionate about comedy. Man, he really is. He goes up
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: as much as he can. And you know, yeah, he
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is a superstar. We know that. I mean, I listened
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: to Tis. I'm a TI fan for a long time.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I said, dude, I'm a fan of yours, you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: but as far as comedy and the protection of your
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: art form, just what it is. That's just how comedians talking.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And I said, and then we had another conversation. He goes,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking I want to get into, you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: different types of comedy like physical. I said, well, I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: said this. I said, well, you kind of mean, dude,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: are you really ready to be voting? Someone's fucking with you? Like, man,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: when you get them shoes from the fuck you, that's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: how we talk to each other. Said I would hope
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that you can take that, because that's the comedy world.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So when someone dogs you would say yo yo, man,
• 12:19

• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I don't appreciate you talking to me like that. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: comedy rules though, because I when we talked about it
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: here on the show, I said, I don't think Godfrey
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: would have a problem with a seasoned comic like a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock going on after him. We've had that before,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you know, George Wallace, you had Hey, this person's in
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the room. Side Field's in the room. You go, oh, yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that's they're like masters of what they do. Rock, all
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: those guys, the masters, they've been doing it longer than me.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: When they go on after you or before you, it
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. Yeah. You know, if you're a comedian,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you're in you know, in your art form, you go.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Of course, you show respect. But if it was an
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: amateur comic, I'd be like, nah, you know, if it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: was like a comic that's been doing for it. But
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: even an amateur comic ain't gonna do that. They're just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: not gonna go up, you know, I mean on a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: headlining show. But yeah, if it's like a particular person
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you know that is of tenure, then you'll go, yeah, man,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: let them, Yeah they can go up. Yeah, it's you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's common sense. When you talk about everything
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on your podcast and then your stand up, is there
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: anything You're like, I'm gonna stay away from that topic. Damn,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I'm always I go harden to paint. So I'm always
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: about race, you know, I love I'm a big Paul
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Mooney fan, George Carlin prior, I nah. Other than like, yeah,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I don't talk about the Jewish community in a bad way. Okay,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: leave that alone. It's real paccause people like, what about
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: its reading. I'm like, I think they're wonderful. I don't
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: at that certain things I just don't. But I talk
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: about a lot of shit like nothing is whatever I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: feel is funny for myself, you know, what I mean,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: because I always took myself as a unique comedian. Man.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I you know, that's why people say, well, why you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because everybody's gonna match your fame, Like, how come you ain't?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I go, well, some of the shit I talk about,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: not everybody's gonna be happy with, you know what I'm saying.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I've always taken a unique approach to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: race whatever, you know. And uh, intellect is my thing too,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I came from them,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the black circuit in Chicago. That's where I came up
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: with Dion Cole and d Ray Davis. And I brought
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Corey Hokum too amateur night, you know I likes, Yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I brought I've known Corey since I was sixteen. He
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was playing basketball, was baseball player whatever, he played basketball,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: my brother whatever. And yeah, I'm I'm yeah, I come
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: from that circuit, you know, Bernie Max Club, Bernie the
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Cotton Club, Bernie Mack took me under his wing. Shout
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: out to George Wilborn. George Wilborn and another brother, Evan Lionel,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: who were these are my big brothers who like really
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: they really created the whole Chicago comedy scene in which
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I came from, and I was always that dude that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: was old. This is the smart college dude. I stayed.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I never I never let And then when I got
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: to New York, I was doing all the all the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: ghetto ads eight you know, death Jam. Roope never made
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Death Jam never did it. Had me auditioned thousands of times,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I never got picked for death Jam. I feel I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: always wonder like, what would have because it's like some
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: outliers ship, right, what would have happened if everybody in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Chicago would have stayed in Chicago? Chicago would have been
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the biggest comedy scene period in the world. I probably would,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if it would beat New York though?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Really was those legends? Yeah, a lot of legends, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: yeah in New York. But New York has a lot
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of spaces to practice. But wouldn't it have that though?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: If everybody would have stayed there with all that money,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know because us moving away.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: It's the reason why Dion is who he is, the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: reason why Bernie is who he is. He eventually kind
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of had to leave. But when I when I was
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, we were doing I was doing shows about
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I was doing like seven seven. I was performing like
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: seven times a week seven. When I got to New York,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I went from seven to thirty thirty shows a week. Wow,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I was doing thirty to forty shows a week. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: can't think of a city that has a better profit
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: comedians though. In Chicago, Yeah we got Dione, Bernie Mac,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Hannibal Burs, Hannibal burst. Um. Shit, who else we got?
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: He said, Ray Ray Davids little role. Yeah we got.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: And there's some up and coming other dudes coming to Yeah,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: we got a lot of really Yeah, well just niche
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: is a just niche is a just niche girl that
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: she's a new person coming up. We gotta. Yeah, it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: a lot. And we're all different. Everybody's so different, you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a different styles. I'm not gonna lie to When I
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: came to New York, though, this is not knocking all
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: new your colleagues love them. A lot of them were
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: doing the same kind of shit. Yeah, it was like
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the same kind of style. I was like, damn, they
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: all talking about the same shit. They're in New York.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: The Chicago guys came, we were all different. They're like,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: you guys are all different. Like look at Dion Cole
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: his style, my style, uh Cory style was different. Everybody
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was just like, wow, you guys are so Look at
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Hannibal Buris, who's more an alternative comedian, like he white
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: hipsters exactly. I've seen I've seen Hannibal not get the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: best response in the black room. Well here's the he's funny,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: thought funny about it. But here's the thing about that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: was that was funny he said. He told me, he
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: goes he isn't working any He's like, all right, good night.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: But Hannibal, but see this is what I this is
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: what um. The problem with sometimes with black comedy is
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that we're put in like a box. You know, it
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: expects you to talk about yo. He were so poor,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yo ladies if yo man, it's like that was like that.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: It was called black called black hack. It's like the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: same old subjects. But Hannibal was so different. I so,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: but a lot of us are different. Black people are
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: not a monolith, and I love to see guys like Hannibal.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of alternative like the Lucas Brothers, the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Lucas Brothers a Twitter, Yeah, the Lucas Brothers it's nice
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to see that we're different, you know what I mean.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: That's how I like my shows because sometimes you'll go
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: on a show and everybody's talking about the same shit,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: like it's the same joke, the same whatever. And my
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: shows I usually like to put like different kinds of guys,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: as a guy named Mike Keim Woods who just got out,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: came out the closet like four years ago, and he's
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: fantastic man. He's so different, and he talks about racism
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: as a black gay man, which a lot of black
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: gay people don't talk about, which is really real. He's different,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: like I have already on my show, Who's Different. So
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I like to show differences in black comedy because I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: don't want people to say, oh, we just went to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a black comedy show. It's just a comedy show, you know,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And that's how people. I'm just about diversity and with
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: black comedies, that's that's important to me. Yeah. I saw
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you having this discussion about how you know you made
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it when somebody steals one of your jokes? No, you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: know you know you made it when someone takes one
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: of your jokes. Yeah, yeah, I saw that discussion on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: your Instagram page. Who are you talking to? Oh? That
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: was David um da Arnold, daven Arnold because a dude
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: named Joe something like took I guess took one of
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: his jokes. He said, that's when you know you made
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: it when someone takes your shit. I go, I think
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: it's just that's means someone else made it when they
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: take your ship. Because a lot of times, a lot
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of times, there's people who get on TV before you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that'll steal your shit, that are known people that will
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: take your ship. And then you'll see the comedian that's
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: not famous going yo, that's my bit, and you won't
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: believe that person because that person that's taking it like
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that ain't a lot of times it's usually that person ship,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, that's that. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: there's nothing you can really do about that right when
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: that happens. Some comedians fight, you know. Some peoples wait
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: for you be like nah, I'm gonna do that shit again. Yeah.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Some and sometimes you just go out right another joke,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? For me, I I'm kind
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: of cool because a lot of people do take my
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: shit because I do shit that a lot of people don't.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The territory. Nobody wants to step into the race territory.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I go into that, I'll dog out, I'll talk about
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: interracial dating. I'll go in there. I'll go in heavy
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on that. You know, you know, because nobody, for some
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: reason interracial dating people don't really like to talk about that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I go in. I talk about the traumatization of what's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: still trauma? Like no, you know how I say love
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: transcends color, bullshit transcends I know people breaking up with
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the white significant others in the thing is this, We've
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: been boning each other for hundreds of years and racism
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: hasn't chased you know, no one has. We have not
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: boning the shit out of racism. Yet you can bone
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the shit out of somebody and someone still be racist.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Right after you done blew, they back out, you know
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I talk about that aspect like
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: nobody even nobody talks about what about the part where race,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: where love doesn't transcend color? Slave messes used to left
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: over the slave Like I would say, I had a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: joke where I go, yo, if love transcendent color? Here
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you raised ready? If love transcended color? The first black
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: woman that was raped that they were to have freed
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: all the slaves the next day. Don't let's say it again.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. When you say rape, it throw me off,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: like when they say the first black, first slave woman
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: that was raped because that's what they did. Yes, yes, yes,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about slavery days now. Don't try to flip
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: my ship. Slave masters would if love transcendent color? Right?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I loved though, Yeah, exactly. I don't know God explaining,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sitting there on the first I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: was saying, most of the time the relationship it wasn't love,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: it was rape, you know what I mean. And they
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: tried to hide it like it was so that's it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: like an inside you gotta Yeah, that's why the joke goes,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: what the fuck you understand room coming from because a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: lot of times the dynamic of that And listen, I'm
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: not saying that you can't a lot of times people
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: whenever I say this, I'm not saying you can't love
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: another race. I've been out with different races, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and there's wonderful people from every race, but nobody ever
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: talks about the other aspect. I think you're saying if
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they loved us like they lusted us, if they really
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: love they loved us like they lusted us. The usually
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and like I've had people go, well, my this, my
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: my my significant other is Asian or this and that.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: So I understand, I go, that doesn't mean that you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: understand it. You know what I'm saying. Just because it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a sexual situation doesn't mean you actually understand it and
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: actually see them as an equal. Because sometimes there are
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: those situations that happen like that. It's what I'm saying,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: you think you could marry another race. Nah, I'm not
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: doing like. Nah, I'm giving it some time. I'm very
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: white woman look like a black woman. It's like I
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: thought she was black. Okay, because the way I'm just saying,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: the way I speak for um black women. You know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I listen. I know a lot of women from different
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: races that are fantastic, dope, but I prefer a black woman, Okay,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I prefer them. That's what I say. If I were
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to get mad, I just prefer them. It's not about
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like this. And a lot of times when you talk
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: about black women in a positive light, it's like all
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the other races get upset. They like go oh, you
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: don't like other I go, No, that has nothing to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do with it. Black women don't get they don't get
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: treated right, they don't get complimented enough. Everybody copies them
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: all the time, you know, take everything that they do,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: the trend setting that they do. But then there's never
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: any compliments. There's never a black women. There's a lot
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: of black men tending to shit on black women in
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: public forms. I noticed that a lot of times, a
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: lot of times we come out, we come out of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: our mouth and say the most horrible shit about black
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: women in public, which is crazy to me. You know
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. There's never enough positive shit, you know
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So that's just for me. I prefer
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a black women. That's just me. I'm not saying I've
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: never been out with other chicks. Now I have. I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: make you love them, No, but it depends on what country.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I meant them. In Russia, I found it very interesting
• 25:27

  Speaker 1: I was a pre band psychology major in college. Wow,

  Speaker 1: University of Illinois. We're Nigerian's man. Man. My father always said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: you have to go to college, finish school fun, then
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you can do the comedy. I remember when I told
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: my dad but shout God bless my parents. They're not
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: around anymore. But my father said, wait, wait, it's you're
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: so you're you're doing and because my sister told there,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: he goes, and so you're yeah, fucking snitch. Shout out
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: to my sister Julianna, sorry Julie and my brother Daniel,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: and uh he goes. He goes, so you're doing this comedy?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: What what does that? You know? You you're doing psychiatry right.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: It's like yeah, he said, but why are you? He
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: just didn't understand. He said, so, what are you gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: do this as a hobby? I said, nah, Dad, I'm
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: doing this for real. He said, okay, so you know,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: but in case you failed, still stick with your psychiatry.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: So he wasn't really that happy, but then when he
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: saw me making progress, he was like, yeah. When he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: saw me making progress, that's when they were supportive of it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Then when he saw me get on TV and shit
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like that. Then when I started talking about my father,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: that's when he was really happy. Really, Oh my god,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: my father said yeah, I like this. Yeah, because he
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: probably started realizing he was listening all those years, he
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: was listening to the things I was. I remember when
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: he was watching Chris Rock one time. I was pissed
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: the fuck off He's watching Chris. Say hey, this Chris Rock.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: He's very funny. I say, yeah, I'm a fuck out,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But that's what I've been doing. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he when I started getting on TV and supporting myself,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that's when he was They were cool with it, but
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: they were just afraid because they just you know what
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: they hear about, Like entertainment. People don't always make it.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So if you become like if you're in medical school,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: if you got a regular job, you'd be fine. So
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: that's immigrant ship I started. I started realizing that a
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: lot of Nigerians have to let go of a lot
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of the things that they were raised on as they
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: get into entertainment. They kind of have to Yeah, you
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: have a different mindset of culture. Yeah. But here's the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: thing about That's why when we were just talking about
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: like picking roles in Hollywood and stuff like that, a
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: lot of that ship has to do with the culture. Man.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I'm not the same as every Nigerian,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of times your parents always telling
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you or your relatives say, just just don't make us
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: look you know, foolish. Always pick something making loop dignified. Please,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that's you know what I'm saying. So I always think
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: about that, Like every choice I make, I know I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: have to answer to the culture, you know what I mean,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: And you want people to be proud of you. And
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: then the stuff I talk about, even when I talk
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: about Nigerians, it better be. It can be funny, but
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: it better You can't don't clown them. You gotta balance,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you gotta walk that line. You don't want
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to be too buffoonish with it. That's I take that
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: into continual Imagine if more black Americans felt that way.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like I'm just saying, what if we did, Like, yeah,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it would probably be a whole different mind I died.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I'm really really conscious about that ship, you know, Nay,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I'm conscious about when you feel like kind of bad
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: because I just had them, you know, Yeahmi Holiday. She's Nigerian,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: but she's like a huge artist. She just did lift service,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: but she's never done an interview like that, and she
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: was nerves. She's a little nervous about the sex work. Yeah,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: no about talking about yeah about talking about sex because
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah. And Nigeria, she's like, you know, they're gonna
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be like she's a prostitute. Yeah, You're like, you like
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: one of these beaches. Why are you are you? I
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: feel like the medic beach, you being a beach and
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: one of the holes. How do you say? However, Nigerians
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: don't know how to curse. What did they say? Beach whole?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: What the Wednesday? I usue? But because my father was
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: an educator for forty five years on the West Side
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of Chicago Malcolm X College, and they and he did
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: a program. My father's students were like gang bangers, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: disciples vice. They knew my dad in Chicago and they
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: would say like they would curse. My father didn't. He
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: would be like, oh this today, this boy was just
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: saying very body was to me. And that's the only
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: time we got to curse in front of my dad.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I said, what do you say? Like motherfucker? What kind
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: of words? I think? So I wrote it in my pipes.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't just yeah, they would that whole Nigerians aren't
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: into the bad words. Really, you know what I'm saying,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: um and I would. I'm gonna do your podcast, oh man,
• 34:42

• 34:47
  Speaker 1: it is different for women. You don't see Nigerian women
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: as like chorsh what. You just don't because it's the culture. Man.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they're not. There aren't any, but
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: it's just not, which is a good thing. They wouldn't
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: put it on this play. Hell no, this is It's
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: a good thing to have that reputation in the cultures,
• 35:04

• 43:40
  Speaker 1: You know. Um, I'm a Dal fan. I've known Dal
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: a long time. You know. Deal is one of the
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: greats with you know what I'm saying, And I like
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: his His political views are dope, you know the way
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Deals like you know, tearing his career into like more
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: political type of shit. I like Deal. I like all
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: kinds of people. I'm not typed to shoot on anybody
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: because I love Kanye and I know Kanye from Chicago,
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And my man Coody shout
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: out to my man Coody and Checa for that documentary.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: And I and Coody came up with me as an
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: amateur cogo. He was a comic guy. Yeah, I know
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Coody before and then he started to going behind the scenes.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: He's like he like going behind the scenes and filming
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: his Channel zero all that shit was. I was around
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: all of that shit, you know, not all the time,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: but I remember what Coody was doing Channel zero in Chicago.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: But the fact that the whole Kanye shit is go
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: is turned into that. Um, I just don't want Kanye
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: to get get in trouble and get arrested or so
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: for threatening you know what I'm saying. Right, I've heard
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: him he's putting He's putting too many threats on people.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I've heard him say that about four different people. Yeah,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: fans might end up doing something crazy to put that energy.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I had some crazy fans right right, right, right right.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: I hope the ship gets squashed. I hope that Kanye
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: finds peace, you know, you know, because I mean, listen, nobody,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: you don't know what it's like. I mean, we all
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: know what it's like to be in a relation ship
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and you lose your women and whatever with somebody else.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: You don't know how someone's gonna act. But we talk
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: shit because it's not happening to us. But you know,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: you hope it doesn't have to go to that point where,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: you know, because I know everyone's calling Kanye crazy all
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: its other ship. First of all, I think he's a genius.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Kanye fan. But I think there's just
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of internal shit that he needs to deal with,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: and I hope that we can all just I hope
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: he can just get that, not say help as in
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: like he's you know, you know what I mean, Like
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: he's I go to therapy every week. To they I
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: would like to go to a therapist. Yeah, I go
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to therapy every week, will you? Yeah? Absolutely, it's how
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: it Does it help? I think? Yeah? I think so. Yeah,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Because a lot of black folks, we don't we don't
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: go for help, you know what I mean, We don't
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: have therapy. All my Jewish friends all have therapists, all
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: of them do. Never went to a therapist maybe one time,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I just but I don't know if I need it. No,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I need it because when they asked
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: me questions, I go, I'm good. There's no I wasn't
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: raised weird. No, nobody nobody when we put a finger
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: in the butt, nobody did none of that. Ship No,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying nobody did anything weird. You know, there
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: was never there's never a sh don't say a word.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Nobody came in the room late at night. No, no, no,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: no voice booty. You gotta laugh at your trauma. Man,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: that's no. I never I've never been No. My parents,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I gotta get crab. My parents weren't perfect, but everybody,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: my sister, my brother, we were all treated pretty cool.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: You know. I was I'm a middle child, but I'm
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: first son, so I got a lot of attention Nigeria.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: That's important when your first son. Whoa, when you see that,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: it's a trick. I always do that little of the
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: calf that was Hey, did you see the thing that
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Godfrey did on him? Just always shout out shut everybody?
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Uh no, I um yeah, I grew up pretty normal man,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: like yeah, that's banks And you know we're not abused. Viewsed.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: You got spanked, you got disciplined. My parents tried. They
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: were very logical and what they did, we tried to
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: use our common sense. So as far as trauma, maybe
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: there's trauma as far as being a black dude in America.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I mean I've been held at gunpoint
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. But you know, it's the most segregated city
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: in the country still to this day, even though it
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: was discovered by a black Haitian guy named gene Baptiste
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: plant du Sablay, a black man discovered Chicago the most
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: segregated city. But yeah, I've had cops like kind of
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: like harassed me a little bit. Um, there's that trauma
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: as far as being black and the racism thing, but
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I'm able to talk about it on stage like every day,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: you know, That's always been my outlet. But other than that,
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: as far as narcissism, I'm not too much of a narcissist,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: even though I'm doing comedy, because the thing about entertainment,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of mental shit that goes on and
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: we hide it through entertainment. Yes, you know, and it's
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and it's actually you need therapy, but it's the entertainment
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: is like probably the only area where you can be
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: fucked up mentally and people don't know, but they reclectic. No,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: they're fucked up, you know what I mean. This person's
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: is a psychopath. This person's a sociopath, but they're like,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: but look at his paintings. You know. I think we
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: all get raised as sociopath only because, like, especially when
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: you're a black man in this country, a man period.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I saw that. It's okay they tell you, they tell
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: you not to feel. You know, you're not allowed to
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: show your emotion. Yeah, you know you gotta be damn
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: this stoic all the time. Yeah. Yeah, you know when
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: my mother passed away, man, I was told not to cry. Yeah,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: that's the Nigerian tradition. Yeah. I was there, Mother's laying there,
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Dad and mother and I had to be like, you know,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: my relatives were like, you can't. You're the first son.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: You you can't do that right now. You can't. You
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: have to be strong for your father. Like why do
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: they think that's being strong? I don't know, but I'm African,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I just pamphlin on all the rules. But
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: it was like, you can't know, you can't cry, you
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: have to be strong for your father. Boom, you're the
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: man in the house now boom. I was like, okay,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it was right there. At the funeral, I was like, oh, okay,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: who did you ever know? Like even when different times,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: because it was when my parents died, he was more
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: shocked for me, like because it was like, wow, it's surreal,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Like everybody doesn't take death the same way, you know,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: you don't breathe the same way some people. I was
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: just like, wow, this is crazy when my father passed away,
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: because my father passed away like ten years after when
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: my mother passed away from leukemia and shit like that.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, And so when my father passed away,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I had to do a show. I remember
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: doing a show and my sister's alma mater, Loyal University
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, and my father's body lay a rest down
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the street. So I had to do a show, get
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: off good night and they'll meet the fucking funeral director
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: and just to see my father laying there, like I
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: was like oh god, yeah yeah yeah. But it was
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: like like you know, you cry sometimes, you know, when
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: it hits you bam. Sometimes it's weirdest things will make
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: you cry, Like damn, I was I cry? What time?
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was in Chicago and I saw
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the baseball fields when my mother signed me up for
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: a little league. Let's start crying. Wow, just just areas
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: and took me back to that moment. Yeah, I was like,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: my mother signed me up for because I want to
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: play litleague baseball. And my mother signed me up to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: play baseball, you know, and did just hit you. Sometimes
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: it barries and when it happens, you know what I'm saying.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: So it's wild because it's an error. Like there was
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: an error where they literally told us we gotta be
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: hard like hardcore. Man funk out of here, man, you'd
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: be all right. It's like this man, man, that girl
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: man crans and cray fuck at here. Charlie Murphy, Yo, man,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: flick that shit. He said, it's a bitch. Man flick
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that bitch. Shout out that Charlie Murphy. That was my man.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Word up. He's like, man, fucked it man. Then my
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: friends would do that. Man stop crying. Man him over there,
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: all these ass out just when we go we don't
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: get pushing men like why can't I just cry over
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: this law look at him? But you need to do
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: gie smash man, you get over all that make it
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: even worse, but we try to do that. Yeah. So yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: that's we in our culture, like culturally as men even
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure in other you know, the men,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to not cry and shit, just keep it
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: expressed with us man, our trauma, man, we have to
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: hold that shit. But even society makes us not express ourselves.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: You know, our society makes it like old black people stop.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: You know. Everybody else gets to cry about their oppression
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: and their ship. As soon as we bring up our shit,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: they're like, come on, just dud make a song for us.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: But you know why though, because then we're holding somebody accountable.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Now they're gonna be accountable. But most of our oppression
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: is holding everybody accountable. That's why with that critical race theory,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: which is a stupid branding, it should be called American
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: history done the right way, you know what I mean?
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Because most of American history, which is sad, our history,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: is mainly white folks shitting on us. I'm sorry, not
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: all white. Okay, there's the disclaimer, but yeah, most of
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: our shit is white folks fucking with us. Like if
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: you look at any um um documentary, like when I
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: saw um the Gordon Parks Dock. I'm a big nerd.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a nerd when it comes to documentaries. On my
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: ship alban A I just watch Albanley Gordon Parks, What Yeah, fantastic.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: Alan Ailey Gordon Parks is called a weapon of a
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: weapon of choice, The New Ali One, the New One
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: on PBS, Ken Burns One. I watch a lot of documentaries,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: and I watch Ernest. I watch documentaries on everybody. But
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: when it comes to hours, if you notice, all of
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: our shit, all of our greats always had to go
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: through segregation, it was always met with race. Always. And
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Tony Morrison her her documentary is fantastic, It's always with race.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Oh because they were black. Oh, segregation, Jim Crow. It's
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: always that. And that's why they don't want that critical
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: race theory in the schools, because white people will be
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: held accountable for how fucked up they were towards us,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: plain and simple. You know what about Native Americans? You
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: want to talk about real American history, they're none left
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: like they're not, at least with black folks. We know
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: we're around. People keep calling us names. We know we're
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: around every damn here. Does anybody say anything about a
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Native American because they're not around. Yeah, you know what
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: I mean. But we're around people conjure us up in conversations.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: We're like toada. We're like, we're magical Negroes. There are
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: white families that bring us up and we're not even
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: in their house. They go, what about snigger? I used
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: to say this, I said. I used to say, I
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: used to say this, if if I could see the
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: thought bubble of white man, there'd be like a black
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: dick just dancing in the in the center, like they
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: think about our dicks more than we think of I'm
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: just saying. When I would go overseas, the dudes you like,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to catch your cat. They would always
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: do it in some language. I remember in Prague they
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: would say fiki. Fiki means fuck. When I was in Prague,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: the guy was like, if you get I was like, what,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: I want to shop? I just want some clothes. There
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: your clothes in Turkey say look what the fuck? It's
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: like it's a universal thing about us. People have an obsession.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I call it negra filophobia. That's my little um I liked.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I made up like a Latin negative pilophobia. It's the
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: love and hate of black people. You know what I mean?
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: If they love us so much that they hate us.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: You know when someone is so jealousy, they but but
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: they can't live without us, they get impossible to live
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: without us. But I go, well, you know, if you
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: hate us, then leave us alone. Like I'm not even trying.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I'm actually trying to help you be a good racist.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I want you to be good at it. If you
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: don't like us, please leave every aspect of black alone.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: Please don't fuck with our culture. That's the problem I
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: have is the is the culture that you fuck when
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: you keep working with our culture but you keep dogging
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: us nigga, this is nigga, This is nigga, this nigga that.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: But they were like it was just at a Beyonce content.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, they love our culture, but they don't
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: love us. They don't like Yeah, it's really weird. It's
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: a weird compartmentalization that they do. I don't get it.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I go, I wonder, going back to earlier point you made,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: like if if we knew how the slave master lusted
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: for you know, the slave, I wonder how that impacted
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: their women right there? You know what I mean Yeah,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: women had to be like, you know, why do you
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: love that black woman so much? It's yeah, it's and
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a psychology that's kind of maybe that's
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: a mystery we will never find figure out because they
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: can literally I knew, I knew, dude. There's okay, remember
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Ray Donovan. Yeah, I love that show. And there is
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: a scene where John Voight is getting like a pedicure
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: from this black woman and he's like, oh, you're beautiful,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: You're beautiful. He goes, She's like, oh, so you like
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: black women. Yeah, it's the man I don't like. Wow,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: that ship was heavy. Wow. I was like that and
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: he nailed that shit that said, because there's dudes that
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: literally do not like black dudes, but love black women
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: but hate our presence. Yeah, I've seen that dynamic. I'm
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: not saying everybody's like that, but I've seen it where
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: you know, you'll see them, you know, with the black
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: girl and then as soon as it's okay. It was
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: an example like people say, why don't you do Lad anymore? Right?
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I used to do Vlad. I was a regular Lad
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: and flats come here bad. There ain't no beef with
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: me and Vlad and shit. Me and Lord Jamar would
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: do Lad all the time. You know. I thought it
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: was a good show. I used to watch it, just
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: like this show. I would watch it sad may have
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: great interviews on there, and I wanted to do it.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't know Lad was white, dude, I never knew that.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I thought he was a black guy, you know. And
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: and I started doing his shit. And then some stuff
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: came up about the minister you know who I saw
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: in Chicago a couple of weeks. I saw his last
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: speech Savior's Day. I used to go to Saviors Day
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: when I was in college, you know, Chicago. You know. Man,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: he says something about the minister that wasn't that I
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: didn't agree with. That wasn't the truth, you know, it
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: wasn't the truth on a particular speech. It wasn't the truth.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: You don't you could disagree with minister. But I don't
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: care what you I'm not. I'm listening. I'm not Muslim,
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm just a black dude. It just wants
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: to pep talk, you know what I mean. And he
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: said something that was like, oh no, that's not true.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: He said, and he was talking to d L hugely
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: at the time, DL was just listening to him and
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: he said something said, yeah, well Barragon said this, this
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: isn't and I was like, nah, that's not true. That
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: was he was making. It was a metaphor Broie. He
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: was saying something like he said something derogatory towards the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Jewish community. I was like, nah, he actually didn't. You
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm not down with anybody talk
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: in anybody's community. I'm not down with that. But miss
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Farcoun did not say that, and he said And then
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: I was like, and so everybody like, you know what,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: it's scary when Royce to five nine DMS you uh,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? They d d M. He said, hey, brother,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: we just need to talk to you for a second.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: And Elijah Farakahn far Kohn's grandson grandson, DM me, hey, listen, beloved.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: When they say beloved, that was like, let me answer these.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: So then everybody's like, yo, are you still gonna be
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: doing Blad you hear what he said. Then I listened
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: to what Blad said and I said, oh, hey, and
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: me and Lord Jamar just kind of said, hey man,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: why don't you like, uh, you should like apologize to
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: my man, you know, like what you said wasn't too cool,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: you know, And he was like, well I already made
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: it and apply It's like, well you didn't. It wasn't
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: really an apologize, I remembered. It wasn't really. It was
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: like it was like a technical difficulty as it just apologize.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: You kind of came out of it because what you
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: said was what he's been plagued with all his career,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: and that's like dangerous, you know. And so and then
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: and I said, and then lords like, but you got
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: mad when Nick Cannon said what he said. You got
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: real upset. And Nick Cannon apologized, like literally apologized, and
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: then sat down and did research. Yeah he did research
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: and all that. But then you you talk about our
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: person that that's part of our community. Whether we like
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: him or not, he's still a part of our community.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: And elder you decide to be stubborn, but we gotta
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: cowtow to you. That's not fair. Yeah, I mean I
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: was interested in that situation because I thought Blad did apologize,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: but then people didn't like apologies. But I think when
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: people forgotten that situation. Lad is Jewish, of course he's
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: that I would have a conversation with him about what
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: actually were you offended by because you have a different perspective.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: He say, he was just incorrect. He was just incorrect
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: in that assessment. And I'm just at that point, I said,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: if he said something that was legit, I go, well,
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: yeah he did say that, but you were wrong, and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: you were like stubborn. But I go, but you you,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: you you base your whole career off of our culture.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: But then when it comes to like respecting our elders
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: or whatever, all of a sudden, that's out the window.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: We're just here for entertainment and you and you're a
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: guy that dates black women and all this other ship.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: But that's all we're good for. But then when it
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: comes to respecting the men, you you you rather like
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: try to, you know, have an interview where a dude
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: gets thrown in jail or murdering each other whatever. I'm
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: just saying. But then when it comes to apologizing to
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: an elder my man, and so he became stubborn, and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: me and Lord Jamar shout out to Lord Jamar, we
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: were like, well, we're just gonna We're gonna be We're
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: gonna just cut ties. No beef is no it is
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: what it is. But it's just for our culture. Man.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: We gotta stand up for our culture, man. That's why
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: Dame dash is right though, but right about that. We
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: gotta stand up for our culture man, because well, just
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: be coming in. It's like an amusing part. I'm surprised
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: there's not Niggoland an amusement park yet. God that white
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: people just go in line is ride on our ship.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: There's the big dick ride all right, all right, and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: then they just get off and leave because that's it
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: seems like we're just an amusement park. Then we just
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: everybody rides on us. But then when serious shit comes,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: everybody scatters. Like it's like we we just want to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: be respected as human beings. All this talk, you know
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: from the cabinet, We just want to be It's like,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: how are you upset at me? Because I want to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: be treated like a human being? Why are you mad
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: at that? I don't understand. That's so weird. That's all
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: we're talking about. From blues to jazz to all of
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: American music, which is black created, it's all about expression
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: of being treated like shit. That's where the music came from.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it was a it was a Negro spirituals.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Then it was gospel, then it was blues. It's called
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: the fucking blues. It's not that happy. It's called the blues.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Which rock and roll came from rock and roll, which
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: is black, which then the white you know, white artists
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: came and used it through country and the whole. It's
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: all from black people being treated like shit. Hip hop
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: came from black people being treated like shit. R and B,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: rhythm and blues, black people being treated like shit, Black
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: people being treated like shit. And then it's like all
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: this expression and this entertainment and they still separate it
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: from like, yo, when Louis Armstrong was playing to get
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: playing a horn, He's like, I just want to be
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: treated like treated right, you know, you know, and you
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: took it as just entertainment and not they're expressing there.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Hey man, can you just treat me like a human being.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: It's like it's fucked up, and that's what you get
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: tired of, you know what I'm saying. You bought up
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: a Kaepernick, which I thought was interesting because you know,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: you didn't like something that was going on with lad TV,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: so you stepped away. I just stepped away. But you
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: have no desire going back, That would be the dumbest thing.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: To go back, would be fucking stupid. So how do
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you feel about kaef Nick want to play in NFL.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with him wanting to play in the NFL.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: That's his desire, man, He just he should. He should.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: First of all, he's a quarterback. So that's significant to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: me because you know Tom Brady, everyone Tom is coming back.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Everyone almost Brady for great hope. Let me listen, Tom
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Brady great, he's awesome. I'm questioning a couple of his
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: Super bowls. I think they cheat for him personally. I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: think they cheat from I'm gonna when anybody says, because something,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: you can't even tackle Tom Brady, you graze his hair
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: a fifteen yard penalty, you know. I I think there
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: was nothing wrong with Kaepernick trying to go back to play,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: But I think Kaepernick proved the point that, yeah, it's
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: like a plantation almost you know, why would you want
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: to go back to the plantation? Because he loves he
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: loves football. I mean that's like saying, I feel like
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: we love abuses, but people look at how racist America is.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna leave? Are you leaving America? I hear
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: people say that, oh, no, are we gonna leave? I mean,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: that's where we going. It is different because there's a choice, right,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: especially being that he's making so much money doing other things.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: You sued the NFL, you won your lawsuit. You sued
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: him because you know, for whatever the reason was, I
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: guess discrimination, and you were unjustly kicked out of the league.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: Why would you want to go back? I mean it's
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: his decision, but why, I mean, that's that's sort here.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: He loves he loves football that much. He's still trying
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: to go back. Yeah, yeah, still trading. I mean they're
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: and they're like, no, I don't I don't know what
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: they're like. I just I just don't understand the mindset.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: The mindset is if you've called out this institution, you
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: said a suppressed maybe I saw you talking about that,
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: and jay Z working with the NFL. Yeah, but he
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: got to get past but he got mad at Jay
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: and Rock Nation for working with the league. But he
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: still wants to work with the league. I just don't
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: understand the loge. You mean jay Z, Well, Ken got
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: mad at ja jay Z was I think listen, jay Z?
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know jay Z. He seems like
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: he moves in a sort of a mysterious way. You
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: don't know what he's trying to do. Maybe there's you
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: gotta get in to to to work his magic or something.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought the halftime thing was cool,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: but I go, wow, there's there's thirty two coaches and
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: one is black, and yet there's thirty two. Motherfucker's krip walking.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't know gang bang and went corporate it? Did
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: you see that? Everybody's like I think, I mean, I
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: don't know. I loved it. It was great White America. Yeah,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic. But I'll go five crowd hated. But
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: it's it's halftime. I mean, we're the entertainment. Are we surprised?
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: But then we're like, why are there only why is
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: there only one black coach and all of the NFL
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: head coach like we can coach, like we kind of
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: play the shit better than you. Like you don't You
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: don't think I'm not saying just because you're a good player, you'
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: up a good coach. But we got a lot of
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: black people that are really good at football. There's got
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: to be at least ten of them that can coach.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You have one black coach
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: eighty and you. And the thing is is there's a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: lot of average white coaches that keep getting jobs. McCarthy,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: who was the coach of Green Bay, he just went
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: head coach in Dallas and fucked it up over there.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: I agree, And that's what I'm saying, Like that's I
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: don't mind the halftime show, great dope, but that's easy
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: to get black people to sing and do that's nothing.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: But to get us as a head coach. I mean,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: they had problems with us being quarterback. Do you know
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: who Doug Williams is absolutely won the Super Bowl, but
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: Brooke records in the Super Bowl that haven't been beat
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Brooke records. But nobody talks about Doug Williams, who's the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: coach of Grambling, Grammling State Universities, because he can't talk
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: about the Redskins. What do you say, you can't talk
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: about the Redskins? The Washington football team, washington't sing that
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: Washingtington football. I'm sorry, Native Americans my fault, but yeah,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: it's like even in my universe, the University of Illinois
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Big Ten, they did not want black quarterbacks. They make
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: they converted everybody to defensive guys. The alumni was like, no,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: you know, because the quarterback is like the head position.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: It's the head position. They still have problems with black
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks to this day. So I don't know Kaepernick wanting
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: to play. I think he's maybe trying to prove Something's like, hey,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: you know what, you can have your dignity, you can
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: have your rights, and you can still play within the game.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he was trying to prove something
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: with that. I don't know, like I have every right
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: to play, or maybe he's trying to really show how
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: racist they really are, Like I'm still want to play,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: and they're like, nah, motherfucker you you you ran off
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: the plantation and we didn't like that. You went against
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: your massa. But then you have eighty percent of the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: players who are black and they're still kneeling and still
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: protesting in their own way. So it's like Kaepernick was
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: was was advised by a white dude, white veteran because
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: they were like and I remember I was doing a
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: show up in Auburn, New York, where Harry Tubman is buried,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: and I said something about Kaepernick. I was bringing it up,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: and this dude goes, he's disrespecting the armed for you,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: I was always wanted to disrespecting the armed forces. Man,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: I said, how is he dis He doesn't nobody disrespects
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: the armed forces. And I said, first of all, when
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: you lay the flag down in a football game, that's sacrilege.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that in American flag laid
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: down on the ground, that's what they do in football.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that. And you're not supposed
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: to wear the American flag on your body like with bikinis.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: You know how they have American They do that all
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: the time. So I said, I said, my man's like,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: he's disrepecting the armed for I said, he's not. Because
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: then I said, a white soldier told him to kneel.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: He goes whoa saying white soldier told him, I need
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: to hear listen walks out. It's like when Trump gets
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: stumped with shit stuff will talk about Trump, will talk
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: about your mama. You're like Trump, Donald, you know, eighty
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: three percent last year there was a decrease, and the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: medicator he goes, your wife's pretty ugly, though, let's be
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: really okay. He like, what he just gets personal because
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: Trump no facts, he goes your wife's pretty ugly. You
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: don't have to but yeah, but um yeah, Kaepernick, I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: mean I think he you know, him wanting to play football.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: I think he's just always he's trying to make a statement,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: like trying to show I wanted you to see how
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: racist these motherfuckers are. May he's bigger than football at
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: this point. Well now, yeah, and it's just was literally
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: like like malcomec type, he's like on some seven if
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: a team picks him up, react, you know, seven years
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: of that seven year it's like his arm is he probably?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: I mean he's only the short passes out five an
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: out Kaepernick what passed? But I don't know seven years
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: out he's gonna stick the short game. But to your point,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: it's like that's we look at him as this massive
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: figure out yes, of of of black revolutionaries. Now, so
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: it's like to stay where you're celebrated, stop trying to
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: go you know, yeah, we're tolerated a man and you're
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: not even tolerated. R Yeah, I would. I would love
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: to see him get picked up. No, you're right, I'd
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: like to see like but they hate I mean, listen,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: the hater is real as fuck. Man like for us
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: is not Remember people don't try to twist my shit.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying we can't make our money, we can't
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: do it. But the visceral hate for us is real
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: as shit, especially when we get there's a thing like
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: when you get out of line, you know what I mean.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: Like when Lebron James was like when he complimented black women,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: they fucking went off on him like, fuck you, white
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: woman by sneakers too, Yeah, white woman, he just said black. Well,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: what if I'm talking about my mother, my wife? But
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: they're thinking you're talking about girls in bikinis with ass
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: and tits. That's what they're thinking. But if I say
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I love black women, what if I'm talking about my mom, remember,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: talking about my aunt, my grandmother? What if I'm just
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: doing that? Why the black people always gotta explain we're
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: talking about because because when you're hated, they don't give
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: a fuck about you. When you're hated, they don't care.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: They go, well, why is this happen? They don't care
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: because let me ask you something. That's those lines in
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Chicago with Jesse Smillett. You see what's happened with Jessie. Yeah,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: we're watching that. He got this one hundred and fifty
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: days jail sentence sucked up, right, So do you think
• 1:11:15

• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: was one of my first jobs, the Cosby show, Yeah,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: the second one that CBS one. So I was an
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: audience coordinated for that. I lived in Queens, you know,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: calling the Story studios and I did it for like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: six months. I was around Cosby. Never saw any crazy shit,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: you know, it was cool. But you heard things, did
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: you hear? I would hear things, definitely hurt things. I
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: would hear stuff. That's when his son was murdered. I
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: was there, I was around, so I was yeah, so
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: I was used when any of these because I was
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: hearing it, hearing it, hearing it, and I would hear it,
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: I go really, and then I wasn't. My thing is
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: it was a battle because it's like whenever he wanted
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: to buy us to a channel, a network, stuff came
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: up the last time, the first time, the first time
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: he wanted to buy it, they had the illegitimate daughter
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: shit came out. When he wanted to buy a network,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: they had there's some girls said you're my dad or whatever.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: And then when he wanted to buy it again, some
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: ship came up and people say, well, they're trying to
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: destroy legacy. But then I would hear I would I
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: knew people who kind of it happened to them and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: they never reported them. And I was like, shit, you
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: know what, my mom knew somebody that never reported. Yeah,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I knew people that literally got you know, got handled
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: and ship and he they were like, I never reported
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: it because I got out whatever. So I wasn't that surprised,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: but it was. It was disappointing because he's a he
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: is an icon comedically what he's done for television. He
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: literally was the first black people a person to be
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: on a national TV show. I spy in the sixties
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: Robert Colp. Then he you know, he had a Cosby show.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Before the regular Cosby show. He was a gym teacher.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: In the seventies he had a he had a Cosby show.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: He was like, he was a gym teacher. I'm when
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I tell you, I'm a nerd about the ship. He
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: had a regular Cosby show in the seventies. Then he
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: had animation Fat Album. Then he did Texas instruments as
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: far as advertising Texas instruments, the compulators, calculators, and of
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: course he had Jello putting. Then he was in a
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: show called The Electric Company Electric Company with Morgan Freeman
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: and Rita Moreno. It was like a children's show right
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: after Sesame Street. So he was always an education picture pages.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: He literally changed the eras for African American sixty seventy.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: He was the first one to be on national TV
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: doing stand up on the Jack Parr Show and ed
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: Sovin and he influenced Richard Pryor. He Richard Pryor was
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: watched him on the edge up and said Richard was like,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: I want to be like that guy. I want to
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: be like Cosby. So Richard Pryor copied Cosby for a
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: while until Richard was like, god, damn, yeah, how much
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: how much of Bill's self righteousness do you think you know?
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Led to? That's another thing too, when Bill was like
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: dogging everybody which was fucked up. He had fights with
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Delle had a fight with him. He Jamie Fox did.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy was the first to go. You know, Bill
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Cosby called me saying, why are you always cursing? And
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was his self righteous shit that
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: made it even worse because pants pull your pants up.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, but Cosby, you were helped yourself too.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: They're a man and man by the name of Sheldon Leonard.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: Sheldon Lennard was an actor producer and he produced I
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Dick Van dykehel He actually helped Bill Cosby and for
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: Bill Cosby to be on I Spy in the sixties.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: So Cosby, you were helped too, you know what I mean?
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: For I don't I don't like when people that that
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: get money they act like nobody helped him. Like what
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: you were helped by somebody. I don't give a damn.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: It was the donut man that gave you free food
