- 0:59Speaker 3: can about Chris Spencer.
- 1:03Speaker 1: You were replaced by Sinbad on Vibe, right?
- 1:05Speaker 2: Yep.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Have you ever been replaced by Sinbad in any love relationship?
- 1:09Speaker 4: No. Damn.
- 1:10Speaker 5: I don't think so.
- 1:12Speaker 1: There was a time in Iowa.
- 1:13Speaker 5: I'm trying to think about it. Right, in the mines.
- 1:18Speaker 6: This is uncomfortable. That's a racially ambiguous child out there
- 1:23Speaker 6: confused about which comedian he is. He's really thinking.
- 1:27Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:29Speaker 1: It couldn't have possibly happened.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Would you ever be interested in creating the show Real
- 1:35Speaker 3: Husbands of Calabasas?
- 1:37Speaker 5: Of Calabasas. No.
- 1:39Speaker 4: No.
- 1:39Speaker 5: I don't see the humor.
- 1:41Speaker 1: But you created a lot of shows.
- 1:46Speaker 5: I created a couple of shows. Real Husbands of Hollywood,
- 1:49Speaker 5: White Famous, which was Buddy Lewis and I created. And
- 1:53Speaker 5: then they fired us. and then hired a 60-year-old white
- 1:56Speaker 5: man to tell us how black comedians should talk and act.
- 1:58Speaker 6: Wow.
- 1:59Speaker 1: They fired you, but you still got a check, though.
- 2:01Speaker 5: I got a check, but it wasn't a deal check.
- 2:02Speaker 6: Right, right.
- 2:04Speaker 1: You would have killed yourself over that check.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Yeah, it was time.
- 2:07Speaker 1: White Famous was hilarious, though.
- 2:09Speaker 5: I didn't think so.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Me neither.
- 2:13Speaker 5: No, they missed the boat on what we were trying
- 2:14Speaker 5: to do, because there's a difference between being white famous
- 2:17Speaker 5: and black famous. Black famous is like, you know, The
- 2:21Speaker 5: comedians who sell out. He still had money. He could
- 2:23Speaker 5: sell out all over the country. You know him in Detroit.
- 2:25Speaker 5: You know him in Chicago. But you don't know him
- 2:27Speaker 5: on Ventura.
- 2:27Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:28Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:29Speaker 5: He would be at the red carpet of a big movie.
- 2:31Speaker 5: And they'd be like, is that the guy? That's the
- 2:32Speaker 5: guy at the end. Like Tyler Perry.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Oh, but you can't remember his name.
- 2:35Speaker 5: And all of a sudden, Zach Galifianakis comes in and
- 2:36Speaker 5: they move you out the way.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:37Speaker 1: You got it.
- 2:38Speaker 6: Right.
- 2:38Speaker 5: You can get in line free. You go straight to
- 2:40Speaker 5: the front at Roscoe's. White people know you.
- 2:43Speaker 6: As the guy.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Yes.
- 2:45Speaker 1: So you are a Jamaican-American.
- 2:46Speaker 6: Yep.
- 2:47Speaker 5: What percentage of your blood is around? Everybody. I'm part Appleton, part.
- 2:54Speaker 5: Everybody in the family is Jamaican. It was a time
- 2:56Speaker 5: when I was a kid. They better be Jamaican. They
- 2:58Speaker 5: better be Jamaican. No, there was a time when I
- 2:59Speaker 5: wouldn't claim it. Why?
- 3:01Speaker 4: Really.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Because it wasn't cool. It wasn't cool until Shabba. You
- 3:05Speaker 5: know what I mean? Like, when you're a kid and
- 3:07Speaker 5: you're the only Jamaican in Inglewood and everybody's like, yo,
- 3:09Speaker 5: they Jamaican, they Jamaican. I remember one time we was
- 3:11Speaker 5: at a shoe store and there was a roster there.
- 3:13Speaker 5: They was like, hey, man, this dude Jamaican. He don't
- 3:15Speaker 5: want to act like he Jamaican. I'm like, I ain't
- 3:16Speaker 5: no Jamaican. And the roster dude was like, where your
- 3:18Speaker 5: mother born? I was like, Jamaica? He said, where your
- 3:20Speaker 5: father born? I was like, Jamaica. He said, well, if
- 3:23Speaker 5: two goats have a kid in a pigsty, where I'm from?
- 3:25Speaker 5: I was like. Jamaica? I don't understand this joke, sir.
- 3:30Speaker 5: And that's when I finally realized it don't matter where
- 3:32Speaker 5: your parents had you. If that's their blood, that's what's
- 3:36Speaker 5: running through your veins. It got to be rough to
- 3:38Speaker 5: go from Jamaica to Englewood. That was nice. That's how
- 3:41Speaker 5: I got funny. Because I had to, everybody was joning
- 3:44Speaker 5: on me, bagging on me, capping on me, whatever word
- 3:45Speaker 5: you use. And I had to be able to fight
- 3:47Speaker 5: multiple people.
- 3:49Speaker 1: So what is your parents, so you.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Ate, managed water, ackee, salt fish, all that type of stuff?
- 3:55Speaker 3: Everything.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Everything.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And they came right from Jamaica to here.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Yep.
- 4:01Speaker 5: My father had a soccer scholarship to Compton College. They
- 4:05Speaker 5: didn't give soccer scholarships to Compton College. Swear to God.
- 4:08Speaker 5: Swear to God. But listen, if you're a junior college
- 4:10Speaker 5: in the 60s and you're trying to compete with these
- 4:12Speaker 5: other people who are getting into Australia, let's go get
- 4:14Speaker 5: some Jamaicans.
- 4:16Speaker 1: We need some territory.
- 4:18Speaker 5: Let's go get some.
- 4:18Speaker 6: So it was like 14 of them.
- 4:19Speaker 5: You got a point. They call themselves the Magnificent Seven.
- 4:21Speaker 5: It was like seven Jamaicans they brought over here. I
- 4:23Speaker 5: think they won state championship.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:25Speaker 1: They won.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Yeah, they was great. They better have.
- 4:27Speaker 1: They brought them all the way over here.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And then how fast did you go from Compton to Englewood?
- 4:33Speaker 5: Remember, that was an upgrade.
- 4:34Speaker 1: That was.
- 4:35Speaker 5: Yeah, that was like.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You could only live in, you could live in Compton.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Yep.
- 4:38Speaker 5: You could live in Englewood.
- 4:39Speaker 1: You could live in Carson or you could live in
- 4:40Speaker 1: the middle of LA. That's all you could live with.
- 4:41Speaker 6: Wow.
- 4:42Speaker 5: So it was the Jefferson's music played as we drove.
- 4:46Speaker 1: He's like, bye.
- 4:51Speaker 6: Did your daddy walk into the building pointing at his butt? Absolutely.
- 4:55Speaker 1: He's an arborvitae.
- 4:56Speaker 3: What's the most amount of weigh-ins you've hired?
- 5:00Speaker 5: No, they've hired me.
- 5:01Speaker 4: Oh.
- 5:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I used to do all the weigh-ins movies early on.
- 5:05Speaker 5: I did Blank Man. I did Don't Be a Menace
- 5:06Speaker 5: in South Central. Oh, I love that movie. I did
- 5:10Speaker 5: Lowdown Dirty Shame. And then they made Atheon, and he
- 5:13Speaker 5: took my spot.
- 5:16Speaker 1: He's lighter.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Lighter.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that.
- 5:18Speaker 5: And he's German.
- 5:18Speaker 6: He's part German.
- 5:19Speaker 5: Well, you know what happened is we had a little,
- 5:21Speaker 5: remember when my show launched, Kenan's show launched the same time.
- 5:25Speaker 4: And so.
- 5:26Speaker 1: You're talking about Vibe.
- 5:27Speaker 5: Vibe, yeah. So then there was a lot of tension,
- 5:29Speaker 5: but it was kind of weird. Like me and Sean
- 5:30Speaker 5: were close, and then me and Sean weren't close no more.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Why?
- 5:34Speaker 5: Well, what really happened was after I got fired, they
- 5:37Speaker 5: wanted me to come on the Kenan Ivey Wayans show.
- 5:39Speaker 5: And I was like, I'm not coming on that show.
- 5:40Speaker 5: I've been competing against this dude. I'm going to go
- 5:42Speaker 5: over there and wave a white flag. So I'm like, no,
- 5:43Speaker 5: I'm not coming. But then Chris Rock called me and said, yo,
- 5:46Speaker 5: you need to come do my show. And I was like, no,
- 5:48Speaker 5: I can't do it. I told Kenan I'm not doing
- 5:50Speaker 5: this show. He's like, dude, how long was your show on?
- 5:53Speaker 5: I said, 11 weeks. He said, you've been unfunny for
- 5:55Speaker 5: 11 weeks. Oh, wow. Come on my show and let
- 5:58Speaker 5: America know you're funny.
- 5:59Speaker 6: I was like, God.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It takes a good friend to give you the truth.

- 6:10Speaker 1: It is now time to give a deserving someone the
- 6:11Speaker 1: Shoe Booty of.
- 6:12Speaker 5: The Week Award.
- 6:13Speaker 6: And now, it's time for the Shoe Booty of the
- 6:18Speaker 6: Week Award. Mitch McConnell. is an American politician and attorney
- 6:27Speaker 6: who has been a United States Senator from Kentucky since 1985.
- 6:33Speaker 6: And has been Kentucky's Senior U.S. Senator since 1999. As
- 6:40Speaker 6: Majority Leader of the Republican Party, McConnell is in his
- 6:45Speaker 6: 70th Senate term, making him the longest-serving Senator in Kentucky.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Kentucky history. Wow. So, why is Mitch the Turtle McConnell
- 6:55Speaker 6: this week's recipient of the Shoe Booty of the Week Award?
- 7:01Speaker 6: He gets the shoe booty for people wheeling him in
- 7:04Speaker 6: Congress like Weekend at Bernie's. After a fall at home, pneumonia, rehab,
- 7:13Speaker 6: and roughly 100 days of what his office called recovery,
- 7:18Speaker 6: MIA Mitch rolled onto the Senate floor like a guy
- 7:22Speaker 6: who got lost on the way to the gift shop
- 7:25Speaker 6: and just decided to stay. He arrived in a wheelchair,
- 7:30Speaker 6: bruised hands, voice doing that thing where it starts a
- 7:35Speaker 6: sentence and then checks out halfway through. Do you understand
- 7:40Speaker 6: the words that are coming out of my mouth? And
- 7:42Speaker 6: the first words out of his mouth to reporters were
- 7:45Speaker 6: basically a weak hello and a crooked thumbs up. It
- 7:50Speaker 6: didn't look like a comeback. It looked like a hostage
- 7:54Speaker 6: finally coming home and he didn't know he was home.
- 7:58Speaker 5: Hello?
- 7:59Speaker 6: Hello?
- 8:00Speaker 5: Anybody home?
- 8:01Speaker 6: He looked like a zombie and had a weird facial
- 8:04Speaker 6: expression like he was AARPing in his pants.
- 8:08Speaker 5: I don't feel so good.
- 8:10Speaker 6: He looks like he lost an argument with a turtleneck.
- 8:13Speaker 6: His skin looks like leftover mashed potatoes. He looks like
- 8:18Speaker 6: he should be on a cover of a funeral home brochure.
- 8:23Speaker 6: And look, I don't want to pile on a guy
- 8:26Speaker 6: who just spent the summer in the hospital and a
- 8:28Speaker 6: rehab center. Polio after effects are real, but this is
- 8:34Speaker 6: also the same man who spent years treating the Senate
- 8:38Speaker 6: like a luxury timeshare. He only showed up when it
- 8:42Speaker 6: was convenient. So when he vanishes for 100 days, releases
- 8:46Speaker 6: a couple of photos that look like they were taken
- 8:49Speaker 6: by a witness protection program, and then rolls back in
- 8:53Speaker 6: like nothing happened.
- 8:55Speaker 5: I'm sorry, what was the question?
- 8:57Speaker 6: People are going to make turtle jokes. That's the deal.
- 9:01Speaker 6: You can't look like a Galapagos tortoise for 40 years
- 9:05Speaker 6: and then act shocked when America takes shots. They call
- 9:09Speaker 6: this a comeback, but it's more like a farewell tour.
- 9:14Speaker 6: And that's why the shoe booty of the week award
- 9:19Speaker 6: goes to Mitch McConnell. Now here's a swift kick in
- 9:26Speaker 6: the ass.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Now it's time for what you need to know with
- 9:29Speaker 1: the one and only Sybil Wilkes.
- 9:31Speaker 4: It's Sybil Wilkes with what we need to know. The
