  Speaker 6: It's true.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I take them all. I take them all.
• 1:53
  Speaker 9: Why do you think that is? Why do you think
• 1:55
  Speaker 9: that you are described that way? Well, you know, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: think we are fortunate or I'm fortunate. I say we,
• 2:00
  Speaker 9: because I always talk about my fellows too.
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: We've been in the game, man. You know, for a
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: long time, people still love us. Still people still come out,

  Speaker 2: you can't just subscribe to longevity.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: You know, I understand what you're saying.
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: Um, you know, I, I guess, you know, that's a
• 2:21
  Speaker 9: tough question.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I, I think, um, You know, you have
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: to be cool.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And we don't hear that. He got Steve Harvey's suit
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: on before Steve Harvey made it. That's what I'm saying.
• 2:31
  Speaker 9: I think Steve Harvey knew about Morris Day way back
• 2:34
  Speaker 9: in the day. But, you know, like I said, blessed, man.
• 2:38
  Speaker 9: You know, we came across something that people dug. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 9: it was an accident for me as far as I'm
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: concerned because I started out a drummer, you know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: Had no plans of being anybody's front man or anything
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: like that. And something happened. You know, I ended up
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: getting pushed up front. And I'm kind of glad because
• 2:58
  Speaker 9: drummers ain't making that much money these days. So, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: I got out there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: They get that great solo for a long time.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: People knew.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Two minutes, they'd be like, okay, let's get back to
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the song. Thanks a lot.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks a lot.
• 3:12
  Speaker 9: But, you know, one thing led to another, man. You know,
• 3:14
  Speaker 9: Prince was... instrumental in pushing me out there. I said,
• 3:17
  Speaker 9: I don't know how to be a front man.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: He said, well, be cool.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I said, what?
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: He said, put your hand in your pocket. So I
• 3:23
  Speaker 9: did that. If you look at the first video, cool video,
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: my hand was in my pocket. It never left. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: then from there, I started to branch out, brought the
• 3:31
  Speaker 9: hand out the pocket, started doing the bird and different
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: things like that. And one thing just.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: With a mirror. Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I think that you, in order to last as long
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: as you do, you have to be indelible, right? Like
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you have to imbue us with who you are like
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: we have to we have to get you we have
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to yeah and i think um you like everybody felt
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: good that uh dance to your music everybody felt like
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you seemed silly and irreverent and fun and dope like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we didn't even have that word back then right so
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: most of that would have just been innate right so
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they just saw that part of it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Even though you were behind the drums didn't they.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it just really took evolving.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: It took taking the thing to, you know, bring in
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: a sense of humor to the music and some personality
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: to the music.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: A lot of times you laugh.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You didn't take yourself way too.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, you play like you took yourself seriously, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I go in and out of seriousness.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And that's the whole thing. But, but you're right.
• 4:29
  Speaker 9: You got to, you know, being in comedy, you got
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: to be able to laugh at yourself, you know, and,
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: and some people can't take it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: You know, some music is just too serious for me.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Like what?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: A lot of it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: That's a good description. There we go. Most of it.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Let's end it up.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Most of it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: All in.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So you think a lot of music is, It's a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: lot of music that you hear right now because you
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: have a discerning eye.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Right. So I hear.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So a lot of that would be so serious that
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you couldn't dig it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, and when it's not serious, it's to me,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: it's just it's too youthful for me. A lot of it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: And, you know, that's, you know. Say what you will
• 5:14
  Speaker 9: about youthful or what I mean by youthful. But it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: a little too.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me a lot of you, Bruno Mars.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I wonder why.
• 5:23

  Speaker 2: They got tickets to Bruno Mars. And I was like, damn,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that's why I like him. Yeah.

• 5:38
  Speaker 3: I can see the influence.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So can the court.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: But Bruno is one of the few people who I
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: really dig these days because I think it brings it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I think he's a great performer. He's a talented songwriter, singer,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: you name it. He can do it all, man.

• 6:27
  Speaker 5: and businessman who served as the 45th and 47th president
• 6:33

  Speaker 1: I am your president.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: He is the only president to be impeached twice and

  Speaker 5: indicted in the nation's 234 year history he's a nasty
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: person so why is donnie crisco this week's recipient of
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: the shoe booty of the week award again.
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: The people of the country are angry and there's nothing
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: wrong with saying that you know uh that you've recalculated.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: He gets the shoe booty because just like an unfunny
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: party clown at a five-year-old's birthday party, he's turning to
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: his favorite party trick, bribery. How much it gonna.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Cost to turn one of them white olive pies.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Into a new pie?
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Yes, it started when he was at a first-time midterm
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: convention during Donnie Does Dallas or Trumpalooza.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Don't be rude.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: The bronze briber promised every adult American $ 5, 000 if Republicans
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: keep Congress. $ 5, 000.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I gotta cut a brother in on that, man.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Let me be now, man.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: He's calling it the Trump Dividend, which is adorable because
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: last year it was the $ 2, 000 tariff dividend. Before that,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: it was a $ 5, 000 doge dividend.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: Where's the rest?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: The money, Skyler.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Where is the rest?
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: Skyler?
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Skyler? This is the same man who was going to
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: end the war in 24 hours, get gas under two bucks,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: have Mexico pick up the tab for a wall, but
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: the wall got a little taller. Your grocery bill did too.

• 8:27
  Speaker 5: far more beautiful. I love you.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: I love you.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: But the only thing we've gotten is a receipt. The
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: people of this country getting a $ 5, 000 check is as
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: likely as Mexico sliding the wall money under the wall
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: with a thank you note.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: On it!
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: A crackhead forgetting where he put his pipe. That check
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: is arriving, clearing, and not bouncing like his last three promises.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: King Kanko claims when it comes to the presidency, he's
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: the GOAT. But with his latest move, he proved he's
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: the gloat, the greatest liar of all time.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: I don't think they like me very much.
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: And that's why the shoe booty of the week award
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: goes to the tubby tariff toddler, Donald Trump.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Now here's a swift kick.
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: In the ass.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
• 9:34
