Transcript
- Thomas: want to make it a little louder, want to talk about that, that Drusky, that Drusky. Malcolm: nah, think, think, I think one, got, I got, I got a lot of respect for Jerzy for that just because like it's a lot of comedians and people in his position that wouldn't dare make a skit like that for a number of reasons. For a number of reasons. One, because they are really scared of losing, ⁓ you know, people that kind of like fall into that, I take offense to this category, losing them as fans, as listeners, as supporters, ⁓ as customers. They are also scared of the backlash that comedy is a lot more. I say sensitive now and kind of like subject to like kind of like current events and current policies a lot more than they were in the past where people could get away with a lot more offensive and frankly, know, crazier things. But yeah, like I think it says a couple of things. One, I feel like this says that he has not sold his soul. Like he is still very much like for the people like... he going to talk about what needs to be talked about and whether it's a skit or not. This is a lot deeper than just like getting some laughs on Black's head. If you actually look at this, mind you, he said no names. He said conservative white women. And there was only one person everybody could think of and it's for a reason. And so I'm saying- Thomas: Yep, conservative women. And just for people who don't know, let's see if we can, you can see this clip, right? See if we can play the clip for a second just to show people in case you didn't see it somehow. Credit, this is Druski, see channel credit right here, this is not ours. Malcolm: Bro, his makeup artist is insane, bro. Thomas: Yeah, makeup artist needs money. Malcolm: Nah, his makeup artist is insane, Thomas: Let's see how he, I'm skipping through, it's a long one. Everybody go watch it. Malcolm: Bro, she actually said this in real life. that's why like, people think it's such a farf- If you actually look at her, bro, she actually does- She's on a world tour with sparkles and fire and flames coming out of the stage when she goes on these tours, bro. and it's like, the same people that are crying- I'm talking about literally crying, saying, what if I put on blackface? These are the same, mind you, just not that long ago. Thomas: Meh. Malcolm: The whole, when Trump posted that video of Obama and President Obama, First Lady Obama being depicted as apes at the of that video that he posted, everybody had a great time, right? It was all fun and games, was all jokey jokes. Oh, know, people still learn how to take a joke. But when jokes can do it, it's oh, this is beneath contempt. This is beyond, like, now it's all these regulations and all these people that you offend and all that. But it's like, one, just telling that, you know... The people that make those type of jokes cannot take what they dish out. Tellers Medruski does not sell his soul and he is more than willing, he said, he a comedian at end of the day. So I don't really think he cares too much about what people are going to say, but it's it tells me he does not sell his soul. He's not like a, he's not something that's going to like just cave into political and systematic pressures just because like they're the ones that may be writing his checks. He going to speak about the things that need to be spoken about. Yeah, like what are we doing, bro? Thomas: Man, look, people talk about if they put on black... Look at... For people watching visually, man, this is... And for people who don't look up the fight against Black Pete, a holiday blackface tradition, this is another news. Yes, I understand this is from 2015, but I just saw something a few months ago. Some countries in Europe still have these black face mistral show. This isn't comedy. This isn't funny. No one has a problem when Robert Downey Jr. was a black man in Tropic Thunder. That was funny. There's a difference between comedy and... whatever this is. So people talk about what if she put on blackface and blah, blah. Yes, it would be a problem because she wouldn't be doing it to be, she'd be doing it to be spiteful. Juicy is a comedian. He makes fun of black people, white people, all people. He literally dressed up and pretended to be a Q, a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated for a skit. It's a black fraternity. And you gotta also understand the history behind the stuff, man. There's... the racist history, blackface, look up the things. People don't believe this is true. People don't believe, we talked about this in episode one, man, or episode two, something early on. People don't believe what they did to slaves, bro. They literally would eat them, use their skin for different things, use their hair to stuff pillows. This stuff is real. This stuff is real. And when it comes to Erika Kirk, even though he never said it was her, like Michael said, she seemed like, I don't know what's going on in her life. I understand her husband passed away or was assassinated. Malcolm: Mm-hmm. Thomas: You know what saying? None of that is funny, right? But if you look at her reactions to certain things and how she handles certain situations publicly, it's like, it's questionable. The behavior is questionable at worst. At worst, it's questionable. Or at best. Either way, I'm just saying the lightest is that it's questionable. At the lightest, you can look at that. You can look at that as like something else. I'm not a psychologist. But it's, and I do, I pray for everybody. I pray everybody finds peace in their life. I pray everybody can go on and do the best in their life. And I never kick somebody while they're down. So I'm not talking negatively about the woman. Some of the stuff is just questionable. And it's a lot of alligator tears. And these alligator tears are the same things that got Emmett Till killed, same things that got black towns burnt down. It's the same things that get black men and other men and women arrested and murdered. All these alligator tears.
