  Speaker 1: It is the D.L.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: Hughley Show, your 2026 edition. Did you get a chance
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: to see, probably not, but it was all over social media.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Did you see Ari Spears and Vlad?
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And did you watch the whole thing? I did not
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: watch the whole thing. And I called Aries and I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: talked to him and, you know, Vlad.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: So I thought it was very interesting how it initially started,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: if I'm getting this right, Aries wanted Vlad to give
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: him more money because Bootsy was getting more money.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Um, Vlad said, well, we'll talk about it later. I'm
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with my kids. We'll talk about it later. Right.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Then, um, Ari sent, Ari sent him a, a thumbs
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: up the next day. Vlad called him, uh, and asked
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: him or text him and asked, is he ready now?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: And he said, you know, maybe then he called him again.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And then, uh, Ari was talking about not getting, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: was talking about not getting paid on this podcast. Vlad
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: went scorched or they've been going back.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And forth to each other.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: They've been going back and forth quite a bit.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And I like both of them people. The thing I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: do not like, I think that Vlad has gotten into
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it with a lot of black people, which makes it harder.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It looks really bad for.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Vlad, number one, because he does not have, contrary to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Looking at the numbers in terms of traffic and views
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: on his social media platforms, a lot of people do
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: not have any love for him because they say that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: he basically takes advantage of the black community and that he,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: you know, culture, culture.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: They do not like Vlad.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I count him. I like Vlad. You know, I have
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: openly said that I like Aries. I've openly said that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: to me, this could have been avoided. First off, don't
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: tell nobody your business. When you, when you're negotiating a deal,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: don't put it out in the public street. And then
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't went scorched earth. And when he said he would,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: he would talk to you about the numbers. You should have,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: if that were what it was all about, you should
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: have talked to him about the numbers.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And I just don't think you should let nobody. Aries
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: is having a good run. I mean, he says a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff that, you know, like everybody. Who am
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I to tell somebody what they can say and not say?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But he says a lot of stuff. And I think
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: what I didn't like was you don't let nobody knock
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you off your square like that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Well, the bigger thing is, listen, I don't care how
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: you are in your feelings at that moment. There is
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: no amount of social media that is going to solve
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a problem for you. No, none.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Like every time. None whatsoever. Some kid gets kicked out
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and they want some money.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, it's not going to help you. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: taking all of that static and, and, and smoke to
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: social media is not going to make it better.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: No. And, and, and well, actually, you know, they got
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of hits and, and, you know, Vlad came
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: on his podcast and, you know, I think it had
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: too many views so far. So, and Vlad let him
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: monetize it and Aries is supposed to go there. I think, um,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I just don't like the transactional nature of a lot
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of this stuff and how incendiary it is.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the world we're in. This is the world
• 3:00

• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. Is T in Rocks? Ten Rocks.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You got to go outside of the immediate family.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: If they're outside of the immediate family.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: They got sons and nephews and everything in the business too.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I still think it's one way. They might have us
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: by one or two. Wow.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Google it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I need to Google that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Somebody Google it. I think it's more.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: All the rocks ain't going to show.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Up on here. Your little Wikipedia.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Ain't going to show all the rocks.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Mic rock ain't going to show up. Somebody was flying
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: under the radar. Rock is not.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: The unknown rocks are going, they're going to ask about us?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: They're going to say my name.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: There are 10 weigh-ins and 10 rocks.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So it's equal. Y'all need to have a basketball. So
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: what that means is a lot of s * * *
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Do you think that comedy crowds have gotten more sensitive?
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. Comedy crowds have gotten more sensitive and I've gotten more...
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: My stance in not giving a damn has gotten stronger. Why?
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Because I'm not going to be that guy.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I didn't dream of this to get to a point
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: where now you guys are moaning and groaning because I
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: feel like I should address Trump or I should address.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Racism or I should address... I'm going to do me, man.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I'm more.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: My stance is stronger than it's ever been and to
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: just be what I want to be on stage.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But why do you think that is?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Because I'm not going to let the room dictate how
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: I feel about something. Like, if Trump says something in
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: the media and I disagree with it, I have the
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: right to disagree with it. And now because he's the.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: President, you guys feel like I can't say something about it?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Or because white people are now calling the cops on
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: black people at an alarming rate for just living their lives,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: you guys feel like... I shouldn't address that. A lady
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: left my show in Sacramento and said, he's racist. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I'm like, well, hold up. Before you go, what did
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: I say that was racist? You said that you addressed
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the lady that called the cops on black people in Oakland.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that's a fact. I told you a fact.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: You disagree with it so strongly that you felt the
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: need to leave the show.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: And I still keep your money. You ain't getting your
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: money back. And I'm going to buy a Frito.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: So that's why I'm stronger in my beliefs.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I have to say what I have to say because
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it needs to be said.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Right. Because the president is saying things and put a
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: battery in the back of these people that don't.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: What is it that a battery in the back like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the energizer?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Once he got elected, now we can be more racist
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: and more disrespectful. We can yell at black people in restaurants.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: We can tell them that if they're online paying with
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: a credit card, it's.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, we got to build this wall. That's right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And then we put a battery in their back.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: So now that they're so amped up, I'm going to
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: be amped.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Up, too.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You know what the sad thing about it? He got
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: sick of service. You just going to take this ass.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Don't let your president get you messed up.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Don't forget, I got my Tim's on. So listen, when
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you were growing up, what's the worst thing that Chris
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: ever did to you?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Worst thing?
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: He just never let me go anywhere. Can I come?
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: No.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Can I play?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: No. You're damn right.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Listen, I swear to you, that's why we're distant now.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Because when we were kids and I wanted to be,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: you want to follow your big brother everywhere. He was always,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: get out of here, get out of here, get out
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: of here. I'm like that with my brother. So I
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: went and did my own thing at a young age.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: So now when people are like, why don't you tell
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: your brother? Why don't you give your brother the script?
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Why don't you let your brother? Because we didn't like that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: It was always get it, beat it, beat it, beat it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: So now I'm at a point where I just grew
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: up like that. I grew up with not bothering him.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: My brother, I never wanted him to go with me
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: because he was always so different.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Like, everything I wanted to do, he just didn't like.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And plus, he snitched a lot.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: He was over there grinding on that girl.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You ain't coming with me no more. You guys scare
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: me when you guys are together. Like you and Uncle Kevin,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this is a lot.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: My brother Brian, so opposite of me, is unbelievable. Doesn't drink,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: religious preacher.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It's a rock preacher?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: My grandmother was a preacher.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: What?
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: He's in the church. He doesn't believe in materialistic... He's
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: not worldly possessions. He makes his money. He probably has
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: 10 million sitting somewhere because he never spends money. Doesn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: buy clothes. Isn't into fashion.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Does he lecture you about all that stuff?
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: No, but we're so opposite and we are the two
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: closest brothers. I love this dude like you wouldn't believe.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: And when I quit my job to be a comic,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: to pursue comedy full time, he was working at HBO
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: at the time as a production assistant making.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: crazy money. And he's like, hey man, I got it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: We live together at the time. I got it. Pay
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: what you can when you can. I got it. And
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he paid rent. He paid bills.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Whenever I got like a $ 50 spot, hey B, please
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: put this on something. I feel I owe you. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: he took care of everything until I started making money.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: And that's why Brian to this day can get anything
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: he wants from.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Me for the rest of his life. But he don't
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: want anything. And he don't want nothing.
• 8:29
