  Speaker 1: be bored.
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: She started to get teary eye, and the way she
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: looked at her sister, I thought somebody died too, And
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: I'm like, ship, all I was.
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: Thinking is weird getting exclusive.

  Speaker 7: What it said because I need to anchor in his headline.

  Speaker 7: gonna everybody's.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Good, I said, I know Charlamage, even though he's an asshole.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: If that would happen, he would have stopped the interview and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: be like, hey, I need you to go outside. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: know him for that that. I knew it would have
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: been some type of joke. I just don't know how
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: far he was gonna go.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: You know, It's funny when Schutz walked in, Shultz looked
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: at that couch and he was like, Yo, that's the
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: whole couch, big.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: D I didn't know that.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: The couches the I mean, I remember we were on
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Brilliant Idiots when we first saw that and uh yo,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: oh my god, and said, uh so, why is she
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: called the lift?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: She should you know she why didn't she call a
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: she called a forklift? And uh and then she came on.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: It was really funny, like I was.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Watching the episode and she's quite endearing. She's just like
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: really really endearing voice.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But when you guys moved.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: The couch up and I walked in, I was like, oh,
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: that's the famous couch and I didn't know that there
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: are three pieces.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: One part semi circle out, so you know, we pulled
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the whole thing up. Yeah, she filled that thing out.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: There's no way she's making into Hanna Civic, Like there's
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: no way she said.
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: She could get into PC cruiser.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, maybe God bless her.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I wanted to know.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You know, with this day and age with comedy, right,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: we've recently seen Damion Wade say he's not going back
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: on the road because they will cancel you for everything.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: But you are somebody that don't give a f what
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you say, what people think, and why is that?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know, that's a good. That's a good Uh.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know why.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: I don't really care, but I think that the days
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: of canceling or done like I think I think it's changed,
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: which I think they kind of like pendulum is swung,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: and I think people kind of have a sense of
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: humor now or they feel like less effective and there's
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: their ability to cancel.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: I think you don't care because you threw what could
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: have been a hail Mary, or it could have been
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: a well coordinated play. It turned out to be a
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: well quarter because when Hollywood there was a period and
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I remember this vividly.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: One time Andrew comes in the studio.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: And Andrew was saying how his agent told him that
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Hollywood does not want white straight.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: They tried to gave me white straight male.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: So they me, they gave you, They gave me every
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: day with me to try dating.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They gave me and they made my character gay film. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it was great. Say what ahead what do you mean?
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: Because you know it's always been that thing of like
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: that happens to black men and that's.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: How you like, that's just like that's just like the
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: lowest hanging through.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think the dress ship is about being gay.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: I just think that, like it's it's white people writing
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: scripts that like don't have any friends that aren't white.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: So then when they see black people, they see masculinity, right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: like this is there, like like what is it? Unconscious
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: like bias? Right, So they see black dudes like, oh,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: that's the most masculine thing. So like, what's the funniest
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: thing to see the most mascul masculin thing in a dress?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Like to see the rock and address is funny, you know?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: So I think that's really it's like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: think they did it to him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Too, because you just see this big, buff guy in
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a dress. But yeah, they I remember the guy who.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I remember the guy who it was his show. He
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: put me in the show Paul Riser. Remember Paul Riser?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: He I mean he was making a million dollars an
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: episode on his show on sitcom back in the day.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You remember the fuck I'm talking about. He was like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest sitcoms starts.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: He's a great guy, and we were doing the show
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I think that ended up on Hulu and he called me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: He's like, listen, man, you know there's a lot of
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: white people on the show that took place in the seventies.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It was about the Johnny Carson Show.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: He's like two weeks before you start feeling. He's like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: hey man, we gotta make a character gay. And I
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: was like, what do you what do you mean by that?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: How this is before this? Before Yeah? So I was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: he was like how. I was like, how gay? And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's uh he'.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I was like, why do we have to make it gay.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: He's like, it's just a lot of white people on
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: the shows. We got to find a way to mix
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: it up. They made one guy crippled.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: That was the most hilarious. I don't know, but it.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Was like they couldn't make us all gay, So like
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: one guy gotta be crippled.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And I was like, why don't you ask.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I better be limping around this ship than butt, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: so and.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: So guy.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: So so yeah, so they made it was crazy, like
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I had to change one of the scripts.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: It was to one of the guys.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It got too gay. They want.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: They want me to get gang bangs like they they had.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: So they had like this one script. I got it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: on the day.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: They're like, yeah, it'd be really funny if you were
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: like walking into this room there's three guys behind you,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: And I was like, man, let me tell you what's not.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Y'all taking this DYA ship too far?
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: I want you to get the train.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It was and it was like in the seventies or
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: like it was like aids, you know what.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: There was no protection for that ship and now we
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: got three different guys fallowed.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Me into a bedroom.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So that was in the script.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: But I was in the script and I was like,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I ain't doing that ship.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, so what did you do?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: There's a scene where apparently like my hands are on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the wall, and.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Then like Johnny, yeah, but nothing. I don't do anything.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: But the audience is gay for thinking about it, y'all.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I don't my hands on the wall.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: But all I was simply saying was there was a
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: point where Andrew was like, look, I'm gonna go out
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: on my own terms.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: So if everybody's going this way, I'm gonna make the
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: kind of comedy I wanted me and if it works,
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: it works.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: If it doesn't, it doesn't. But it ended up working.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: My thing was like I saw a lot of people
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: kind of watering down their shit for what the TV
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: networks were putting on and I got empathy for the
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: people that work at the networks too, Like you got
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: a kid who's in private school, you want to build
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: a pool at your house or whatever. You're not trying
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: to lose your job because I want to make some
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: crazy joke. So but it felt water down, and I
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: didn't want to change the comedy. So I was like,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: where can I put out the comedy? And honestly, like
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: having the pod with Charlott Mane and we're putting out
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: like brilliant idiot stuff and we're saying crazy jokes and
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: like people really seem to like it, and I was like,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: I think there's an appetite for this shit online.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I saw your.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Guys' success, Like just seeing your Guys show kill It
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: on YouTube, it just kind of reminded me like people
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: are consuming stuff on YouTube, They're consuming high quality content,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: long form. You know what if we just started putting
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: a stand upbout there, and I think knowing that there
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: was this place for it made me feel way more confident.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: I didn't really care if it was like on a network.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to do the comedy. I want to
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And then it worked.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: Man, that was risky because you was giving away your
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: bread and butter though, because you're giving up parts of
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: your stand up special.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, it's like I was writing
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: so much, you know, back then, because I had to
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: go back to the same markets every single year. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: had to go back to all many every single year.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: So I didn't want to do the same jokes from
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: last year, you know, like people like that's something like
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: early on, I was like, I'm not gonna waste people's money,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: you know, every tour. I was like, people work hard,
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: they got to get a babysitter, like they got it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: a whole night, it's dinner.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It's expensive to come out to a show.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: So I was like, this got to be the best
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: show that they see. At least we had an attempt to
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: make it. So I would have a new set, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: then what was I doing for the old set? And
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: I put that ship out there, and like the jokes
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: would start to go over and I was saying, some
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: wild ship and.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: You pissed a lot of people off, and you ever
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: got threatened?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Diddy, but you you would had a
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: lot of people were thinking about when he said that,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: when you hear that name, what comes out?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Like, what do you think the baby behind behind you?
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: I love how much you guys to embraced white boyfriend.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: It makes me so happy, Like that's why you guys
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: are you guys are the black pioneers A white boyfriend
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: like I feel and you know what you know? And
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: the way he goes too far like you know, white
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: boyfriend is no, I'm please, just like the straight guys
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: making gay jokes with each other.
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: Oh okay, that my old job. Yeah that is very
• 10:20
  Speaker 8: white exactly.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we just call that gay.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Well, we call white boyfriend because it's not gay. It's
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: two straight guys doing it. Okay, yeah, but once there's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a gay guy involved, then it becomes gay. No.
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: So the white boyfriend I experienced at my last job,
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: there would be a gay guy involved and it still
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: was just oh, this is a great this is funn Yeah.

• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't really want.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: To go do all that, but but yeah, yeah, I
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: used to go through through that kind of stuff all
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: the time, but I just wasn't really funny enough back then.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: That's the way, you know, like you have the ideas,
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: you just don't got the skills.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: To execute it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: It's not silly enough yet.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: And then eventually I think you could develop the skills
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: and then you could say even wilder jokes but in
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: a way where people find it kind of funny and sow,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: that's something I.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Never heard you say. I've never heard you say you
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: didn't feel like he was funny enough back then, as.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: I look back, As I look back, like you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: like there was I was. I had funny jokes, but
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I also just didn't have the skills to execute some
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: other ones. So it would just be I just say
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: some wild shit and I'm like, yeah, this is funny,
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: and then you know, sometimes the jokes are work, and
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: then sometimes they just really wouldn't work. But I feel
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: like now I'm getting close to a point where even
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: if somebody hates the topic I'm talking about, I can
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: make it funny enough where they could they could laugh
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: You talked about the censorship era being good for comedy
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: because it set like certain boundaries.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: Like what not to do.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it got to be naughty.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: Yeah, But so having those boundaries and then you you
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: look back at your old tape, you weren't as funny,
• 12:58
  Speaker 8: so you had to develop so you have like there's
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: a whole system behind you of like like you sit
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: and watch your highlight tapes and you use all of
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: that to Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I also think censorship like in a weird way.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I don't believe in censorship, but the fact that it
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: exists makes you have to be sharper, you know, like
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: if you could we're in the air, if you could
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: say anything right now, and comedy will probably get a
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: little bit more like an absurdist and a reverend because
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: you could say anything.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: So there's nothing that's like too edgy. Does that make sense?
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So now comedy usually gets like a little like
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: weird and out there, you know, like.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Remember that, remember Zach Alafanakus remember him? Yeah first, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Zach's great.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: That type type of comedy where it's not like here's
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: a political take, but it's more like he's.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: A character and it's a little weird.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: That type type of comedy gets popular when you could
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: say anything, and then when you know, censorship comes back.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Usually the guys like a Chris Rock, you know, I mean,
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: just these like historic figures.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: But that's why I think well crafted just that's why
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: the Life Specialist actually special, because well crafted jokes have
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: to make a comeback now because we live in the
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: world where everybody just says, in your watch it, but
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: what's the what's the joke?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: How are you packaging?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Agree?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, And people will give you that liberty like
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: if if it's good, if the joke is good, they'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: let you rock with it, even if they don't like
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: the topic or even the opinion. They you know, they're
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: they're like, okay, I know what you're trying to say. Also,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: the Life one is just like so it's so personal
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: and it's so vulnerable. I think I get a little
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: leeway with.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: The other ship.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: I had to watch. I had to watch it twice.
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: No, I don't like celebrate it, but okay, so the
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: first time I watched it, maybe because it was so personal,
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: like I was like, Okay, where's the fun Like I
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: wasn't laughing at everything. Yeah, but it was because I
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: was trying to follow the story and I'm like, wait,
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: like low key you like that was that had to
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: be tough for you. And then I went back again
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: and I watched it and it was funny and I
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: was like okay, but I'm like, I don't know why
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: I had I've never had to do that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Well. Listen, the fact that you watch it twice, I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: mean that to me is great. And you know, whatever
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you get out of it, that's awesome.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Did you feel a little bit retarded that you didn't
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: get it the first time?
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: It wasn't that I didn't get it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: I think when I because that was my first time
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: ever seeing you do stand up, and I've heard so
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: much about you, I think I instantly just thought I
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: was going to be like, oh my god, but I
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: was like, no, wait, he y'all couldn't have a baby,
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: and there's all this stuff that was there. I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: my empathy for you came in and I didn't find
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: it funny. And then the second time the empathy was
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: removed and I'm like, oh, he's funny. But yeah, I
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: didn't get it though, But I've never I brought that
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: up because I'm wondering, like, is there is that on purpose?
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: Well, there's a there's an interesting thing that like, so
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: the beginning of the special, I say we had the
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: baby specifically for that reason is that I felt like
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: the audience would be too concerned to destroy. So if
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: you paid attention to the beginning, you might have felt better.
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: Well, I did hear that in the beginning, and I
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: watched you a brilliant idiot, so I thought you had
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: the baby, but I think it just felt so heavy
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: because you don't necessarily hear men. And you talked about
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: this in the special, talking about, okay, we couldn't have
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: the baby because.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: It was my fault, like you know what I mean.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Like, and I'm like, he's laughing and joking, but like,
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: as a man, I can't that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Probably it probably still strokes your ego a little bit
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: when you talk.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: About honestly know, like it's it's weird.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: At first, I dealt with it, right, like, so my sperm,
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: my sperm doesn't swim.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's like the issue that I talk And.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: There I heard the joke that tailor dropped to.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: What Taylor killed me?
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: She said yeah, because we I beat her in a race.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: And then I was saying something to her. She was like, yeah,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: I run fast in your sperm.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Was bad and nobody knew it. We knew at the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: time when he was the people.
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, I remember.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: So it was like that tough room over there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Oh no, it was brutal, but the joke was fantastic,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: like you got to keep it in so uh yeah.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: So it's like when when I thought it was my
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: wife's fault, which is what every guy thinks that's going
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: through fertility ship is I felt uncomfortable talking about on
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: stage because that's like her very deep personal business and
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: a lot of women feel incredibly insecure right about that, Right,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: it makes him fee less of a woman, et cetera.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Once I found out it was my fault, I remember
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: the doctor said. I was like, what's the deal. The
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: doctor was like, uh, your sperm swims like uh Drew
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Ski and a riptide.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: They said you were a C C.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Plus, which I feel like he just said the plus
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: so I could feel better about myself, which was nice
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: of him.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But immediately after that I start going what the fuck
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: is wrong with me? Like why you know, like does
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: God not want me to have kids? Like it's like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you have like this really weird like weak.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: And then once we decide to go through the I
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: actually want to like beat the system. I was like, no,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I think I could do it anyway. Like I got
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: like really competitive. And then every time that we would
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: try my and it didn't work, my wife would like
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: cry and I felt like it was really selfish if
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: we just didn't go through this other process. Second we
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: went with the other process, I felt really comfortable talking about.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: It on stage.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Like actually, once I found out it was me felt
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: comfortable talking about the stage because it wasn't like my wife's.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Issue and I'm like exposing her like deep dark secret.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: And when I started talking about on the stage, man,
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the amount of people that would like come up to
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: me and send me these dms, like these beautiful things
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: about like what they're going through and I actually IVF
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: and like eventually having kids and like you really get
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: to see how I think we talk so much about
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: how people are trying to avoid kids or they're upset
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: that they got a girl pregnant, and there's like all
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: this like negativity around kids. When you talk to IVF couples,
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: you are or are talking to the people that face
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: the reality they might never bring life into this world.
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: And then, by the grace of God, we're able to
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: see this thing that they've cherished and maybe we're trying
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: to make for years.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: So you have the most gratitude for your child?
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: It's like you see the way that people react and
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: how emotional they get about their children, and it's like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: you get this, just this beautiful. And then the people
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: who had kids and it was kind of easy for them,
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: they'll send me these messages about like the gratitude they
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: have for their kids, and they didn't realize it, you know,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: they it was kind of lucky for them.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: It was really it was a really cool thing that
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I did not expect. I thought I was going to
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: be the only one going through this shit.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: It's a tight knit community, like most people don't necessarily realize.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: I got six kids, so the first four big them out.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: God, we were trying to have the fifth one and
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: we couldn't get pregnant, so.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: We tried IVF.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Oh really, we tried IVF for it because insurance didn't
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: cover it, but as expensive as a well the effort
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: to the point when when we had the powerhouse concerts
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: up pair, I would have to give my wife the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: shot because you have to give her a shot at
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: a certainty.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta make it. It's like a cocktail. Yes, I
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: had to make it at home. They're giving you syringes.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: So in the middle of the concert, I'm in the
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: back doing the shot, this, that, and the other, and
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: it still didn't work.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: So we was like we took it as well. Maybe
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: God said four is enough, but at.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Least you had four. Imagine the one that to have zero,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: but it just got one.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: It happened, happened bro naturally, which was the craziest thing ever.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it's the stress, Like I know, it's the most
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: it's the dumbest thing you guys probably, I mean, you
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: know about this just because all the mental health stuff
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: you do. But like the way that your brain can
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: play tricks on your body that you got you put
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: so much pressure on, like having a kid and your
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: body reacts negatively like that. Like there's a lot of
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: people who try IVF it works, and then the next
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: kid they have naturally and it's just your body goes
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: all right, this kid time, Like, now you're not so stressed.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You got one and that might be it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: You guys went all right, you know, if we're supposed
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: to have four, that's what we're supposed to have.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Forget it, and then you stop trying and immediately bang.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Two more, two more.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: The women that don't have kids, imagine how they would
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: feel if they knew how many abortions certain women got.
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: Bro.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: When I was going through this, I was like, I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: don't even understand who gets abortions?
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like I was, it was so.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Hard for us to get pregnant. I didn't even know
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: that it was about like my sperm or her eggs.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: I was like, who's getting abortion? Like, how is this possible?
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Once I knew, Yeah, I saw it, But yeah, it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: a deeper.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you spoke about it because so many people
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: dealing with it. Like we talked about in the book
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: that when you do it, so many people hit you.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: You'd be surprised and it's the last taboo thing and
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: people are so and secure about it because you don't
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: want your partner to be embarrassed.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: So like, if I'm telling you it was easier that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it was me.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: If it was my wife's ovaries, I don't think I'd
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: ever talk about it because it could.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Be humiliating for women.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: For dudes, yes, humilion for me, But like as a comedian,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I think I'm a little like I find the joy
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: in that humiliation.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's easy for me to deal with.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: And but I'll tell you after talking about it and
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: seeing all the other people going.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Through it, it's like, yeah, that's why.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Honestly, when we had Trump on, there was like three
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: things that I want to ask him, and one of
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: them I wanted.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Him to say publicly that he would he would protect IVF.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: So let's talk about that. How did you meet Trump?
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: How did you get the like how are you to
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: get this?
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: They reached out and they were like do you want
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: to have them on? And we're like, yeah, we want
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: to do in the studio, and then they were like,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: we can't do it in the studio. Like you know,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Sean knows, it's like it's a you guarantee the assassination.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: It's like windows everywhere.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It's like I don't even know why we were trying,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Like you walk right out the elevator. It's windows everywhere.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It is bad. But uh.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Right, like you know, I hope that doesn't happen, but
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: you know so, but we were really pushing for that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: And then and then when we did the pod, Yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I like spoke to his kid for a while before
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: and I spoke to Dana White, which one junior junior,
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: and I was like, yeah, just tell me some stories.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And like I just kind of wanted to say again
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the party.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: You talked about the party, Oh yeah.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: So he told me about that one.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: He told me, Yeah, yeah, there's a part I didn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: say on the interview, but uh, because I said he
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: just went up to the roof and kicked everybody out.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But like what Junior told me is he was in
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: his underwear.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: So like just imagine and imagine Trump Trump underwear Junior.
• 22:38
  Speaker 8: For the people who haven't seen the interview, Schultz in
• 22:41
  Speaker 8: the group they talk about Donald Trump, Junior had like
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: a huge yeah. And then they had a third body
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: out because Trump found out about the party.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, he wasn't supposed to be back.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he was supposed to be back. It was kind
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: of something on like a movie my dad comes home.
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: But he like never mentions it. So Trump Junior is
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: like almost like it didn't happen exactly. Know, he was
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: in his under so that party got real crazy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the first time he addressed it in
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: like forty years or something like that.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: He never addressed it with his kid.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: You know, there's a guy in this room, a young
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: black male who said he watched Trump on flagrant. He goes, yo,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: he goes that flaggerant interview is gonna get Trump elected.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: That guy that you're talking about, he's been magging for
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: a while.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: He was waiting for that moment.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: I felt the same way. That was the first time
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: I looked at him as like a person. I was like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: why am I like? I was like, oh my god,
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: he's a granddad. He cares about his kids. But it
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: was like y'all made him. He was having a good time.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: That and the commercial where another young black guy in
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: this room did a commercial that Trump he was and
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: played over.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I met that who made that commercial over and over again.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: You know what he said, Yeah, he.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Was like, hey, thanks, Charlotte Mane really helped us out.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I mean that commercial was unbelievable.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: It's really crazy that the election was decided in this
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: room right now.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: We don't get enough credit.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: But do you get that response from people don't like, Yo,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm humanized somebody that like we low key. Even when
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: he got shot, felt like people were like, oh, we
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: don't want that to happen.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: But so what I'd say to people, and I have
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: like a way more humble take than I think most like.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think that we had any impact on the election.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: I don't think that any of the podcasts like I
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: think that America. I think what America had decided is
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: a lot of America weren't voting for Trump. They were
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: rejecting the current administration. They just didn't like what was happening.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: And I think the way that the current administration was campaigning,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: they're basically kind of saying, Hey, everything's good, We're gonna
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: kind of keep doing this. I think a lot of
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Americans were like, I don't really feel like it's good,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: so I'm gonna go for anything but this. But I
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: think the idea of Trump is always he's a populist,
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: So if you vote for him, it means you love
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: him and you're obsessed with him and your maggot till
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: you die. Where I think a lot of it is
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: really just rejection in the same way that when people
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: voted for Biden, they didn't really.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Vote for Biden. They voted against the chaos of.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Trump and the chaos of the world at that time.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Yes, it was COVID, it was George Floyd, but also
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: we talk about this America had his mind made up
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: for two years that they were voting for Trump.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: We knew that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Like, it's not like we knew that we were saying that,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: we were saying Biden needed to step down because we.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Knew Biden wasn't gonna win November.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: It wasn't until the vice president, you know, became the
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: nominee that it was like, okay, well maybe maybe maybe
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: there is another option, but everybody knew it's not.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: So what do you think about everything that Trump's doing now?
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Well, what specifically, there's a whole lot.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many orders.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Joe Rogan, I think it was Megan Kelly, but yeah,
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: I love the Yeah, the Gulf of America. I mean
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: it's North America, Central America, South America. Why we call
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: it the Gulf of Mexico. It should feel like the
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Gulf of America. It's not the Gulf of North America.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: It's just the Gulf of America. But again, what I
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: like is just like I like saying audacious shit. I'm
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: an American, like Americans in general, like in our DNA,
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: where like we like risk takers and we like people
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: who are brave. And I think that's like the tricky
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: thing for Democrats right now. And keep in mind, I'm
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: like a lifelong Democrat. I grew up in an arts family.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: Both my parents were dance teachers, like I live in
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: New York City my whole life. So what I need
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: is some energy on the Democratics side. We talk about
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: this all the time, is I need some like shit talk.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: I need some bodacious shit talk. And I think the
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: thing that really Americans care about right now is that
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: it's it's things are expensive, and I think Democrats need
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: their build the wall and whatever that is. It has
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: to happen too what people are struggling with right now.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: So if they first have to build a team, well exactly,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: but yo, it could just be one outsider, like like
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: I think it's dollar eggs, Like eggs are a dollar.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: I think you just start saying shit like that. It
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it,
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: but you start saying something that's going to resonate with people,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: and that's the only way.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And I think that if they make it a class.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Issue, they win this election pretty easily come the next election.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: But they're afraid to do that because a lot of them
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: are in the pockets of the billionaire class and the corporations.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: So they make it about identity politics. They it's all
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: these people that go to like Harvard and Yale that
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: like pretend to give a fuck about you guys. They
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: don't actually give a fuck about you guys, but they
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: get patted on the back for pretending to do it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: And now they're in this situation where the rest of
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: America's like I can't afford eggs, so I can't really
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: care about the bathroom. Like I don't give a fuck
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: about who goes in the bathroom because I needed buy eggs.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Until I can buy eggs, I don't worry about the bathroom.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: So you got to start addressing people where their problems are.
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: And you know what's proven that point when you look
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: at like Gavin Newsom on his podcast with Charlie kirk right.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: He wants to so bad bro the motherfuckers, which exactly,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: but you see how quick he is to distance himself
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: from trans athletes and stuff like that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: So now it's like, oh, so you never cared.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: No, they never cared.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: You never gave a buck. It was just all about
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: politics for you.
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: It's not about that for all politicians.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, but some people show it better than others. Some
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: people act like they care better than others.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to learn how to lie better.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: And I don't think Democrats are going to win so
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: easily in twenty twenty eight.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I think that America.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: I think because the Democrats are in such disarray, America
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: will say, you know it, just give me a sensible Republican.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Just give me a traditional conservative. Yeah, give you a
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: nicky Haley. Just somebody, just a regular conservative. I can
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: deal with that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I think that's what's gonna happen.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that that could definitely happen.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: There just has to be something like like radical and
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: disruptive on the Democrats side.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: And I think that they're also concerned.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: They're playing this like prevent defense and they're really concerned
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: about like ostracizing a group, Like if I say this,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: will women be upset?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: If I say this.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Will black people will be upset. If I say this,
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: will trans be upset. And it's actually like a harder
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: position to be in to be a Democrat. You're the
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: party of progress. You have to push shit.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Forward, and you got to please everybody.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: You want to please everybody with which is impossible. Conservatives
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: are actually trying to pull shit back.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: It's a way easier position to be in to be like,
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: all right, we went too far forward. But I think
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: what Democrats need to do is just start listening to
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: every day working class people.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I don't like.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I think Democrats are too stuck in the ivy league.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: It's just too much like pretentious finger wagon. That's not
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: what every day Americans are. And you need to get
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: the working class back immediately. And you're not going to
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: get that back when you just got a bunch of
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: these like super rich NEPO babies telling poor people how
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: they should think and who should they should vote for. Like,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: I don't want you to tell me if you never
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: had a job, you can't tell me who I should
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: vote for.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Simple as that you liked havin Crocket though I love
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: that girl.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Like that's the type of language that I want to start.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I want to I want people to start using like
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: when she said your Putin's hoe. I don't care.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with that sentiment actually to night, but
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I like the I like the energy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Because what people like about Trump despite him being like
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: a billionaire who got money from his dad, right, he.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Doesn't talk like them. He talks like me and you.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: The Indian journalist is asking him a question, dibble dabble,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: dibble dabble, and then all of a sudden, dibble dabble, dibble.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Dabble, and then he goes, I don't know what the
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: hell that guy just said.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: That to me is the most relatable thing I've ever
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: seen in my entire life.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I go, yeah, that's what I would have said.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: That's what he would have said.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: That's what you would have said if we were just
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: hanging around on the corner talking.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: So you like Trump because you don't feel like it's political.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: He's just himself.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying I'm not saying the reason why I
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: like him. I'm saying the reason why people relate to
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: him despite.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Him being a billionaire.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Because that's the thing Democrats don't seem to understand. They're like,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: they say that we're in the pockets.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Of the rich. But there's a rich guy right there,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: why do they relate to him? It's like, do you
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: see how he talks to people.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: He called shorty Pocahontas in the middle of the Senate here, yo.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And you know we're sitting right there. It's been normalized
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: so much that that wasn't even a headline.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Nobody sit there and take it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Pokemont's over here, pointed.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: At nobody cared talking about a little bit for him.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: It wasn't even a headline. Nobody gave what He's.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Making fun of African nations. He's like, we gave forty
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: million to the Lessoto. Nobody knows what that is.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious like that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what it was either.
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: I was that a real nation was running down and
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: stuff at the city. I thought that that was all jokes.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: That was real.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: He would have said, comedy, that's a mad contract.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: We need I need that vibranium.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I want to ask too, because you talking about walking
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: the line, you walk a dope line because you have
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: white fan base and black fan base. Is that difficult
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: for you?
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I got wall I said, I got.
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Your jokes, go everywhere with it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I got the most.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Diverse audience in comedy.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: It's not even close, Like it's just like you come
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: to my show, it looks like the un So it's
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: like it's like to me, it's in my.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Experience, in my life. I'm a pretty curious guy.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: So like, if I find out something about your culture,
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: where you're from, whatever, I like talking about it, and
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: I'm going to make jokes about just because that's my
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: way of communicating the world. What I found is is
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: like when you make fun of people based on things
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: that they're proud of or they haven't realized about themselves,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: they don't feel offended. They feel kind of seen, they
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: feel noticed, and they appreciate it. So all these different
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: groups will start coming out to shows, you know, and
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: I was like.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is really fucking cool.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: And when you ever, whenever it comes out to the show,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: we all kind of submit to this idea like everybody's
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: gonna be made fun of, We're all gonna laugh at
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: each other, we're gonna laugh at ourselves, and it's a cool,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: little beautiful thing. So to me, it's never been like
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: like black people found out about me before white people,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: like I'm doing brilliantaires with him, like Guy Code. To
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: be honest, black people were on way before white people.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: I mean eventually towards the end seasons the Guy Code,
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: I think it like just crossed over. But early on
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: MTV two.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Was more like hip hop related.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then I think Rogan, I think white people
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: started to find me, and then like you know, Indians
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: found me. Obviously I do the pop with Akas, but
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: also some stand up clips that would go viral out
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: there Albanians when we've seen me from some clip, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: like all these different groups would come out and yeah,
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: it's my favorite thing of looking out in the audience.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: But I used to go to comedy clubs when I
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: was on tour and the the owners would be like
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: because it would be all black people for the weekend,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: and they would think I was like Gary Owen or
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: something like that.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: They were like, what the fuck is going on?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I never called you, like, man, what's the secret?
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Man? How do you get white people to about?
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: What about?
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: Because you said when people you make people feel good
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: because they feel seen, But what about in the moments
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: where you're making people like things that they people don't want?
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: To be seen for you're bringing that up and there upset,
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: Like I know black women was really upset at you
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: for a second.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I would say that they're upset for like
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: a joke that I tried to make on the pod
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: and like the problem with the pod. I mean, I
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: love pod, don't get me wrong. It's like it's not
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: really jokes. It's just like mounds of clay.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: A joke on stage is like a statue, you know,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you like molded it carved it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: Like you can't work out on the pod. Yeah, but
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: it's going to be.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: It's probably And like, so like what I always say
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: to people is like, first of all, if like I'm
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: making a joke, I'm like teasing you about something, right,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: and you go to me, hey, that kind.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Of makes me feel ucomfortable.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I'm never gonna tease you again because I don't want
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: you to be uncomfortable about that thing.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Tell the man you're comfortable.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: You here, that's not that's not.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: What period, that's her real hair.
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: Scout baby, Oh my god, that's beautiful period at over there?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you looking at over there?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Looking at nothing got you?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: But so so what I'm saying is like I would
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: never like if I if I have a joke where
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: I'm just like teasing you forever and you're like, hey,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: that actually makes me feel comfortable. Like, my goal is
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: not to make you feel comfortable, So I'll never tease
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: you about that.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: That doesn't mean I won't tease other people about that,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: but to you specifically, I want so if there's somebody
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: at a comedy show and she like they're upset about something,
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: here's a perfect example. Girl at a comedy show. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: was saying some joke about some topic. I forget exactly
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: what is. She gets up and starts to walk out right.
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: This is a little comedy club, and I'm like, I'm like,
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: where are you going? And she's like, I just uh
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: just got to step out. I go why, and she's like,
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: I just I don't want to I don't want to
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: make it about me. I go, man, what's the deal.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: She says, Oh, it's just like the topic. And some
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: of the people in the audience start to like boo
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: her for being like like offended or whatever, and I go, yo.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: No, don't boo her.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: She's doing what we all wish an audience member would do.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: She's going, hey, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want to
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: affect everybody else's time here. I don't want to make
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: this show about me. I'm just gonna step out and
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, Like, you're just like the most emotionally
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: intelligent person in the room right there. I don't ever
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: want to make her feel uncomfortable. So one on one,
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to do that. But I'm not gonna
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: stop joking around about a whole idea just because it
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: makes one person uncomfortable.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: I used to watch go to Paul Mooney shows. Oh
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: my god, people would walk out of.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Paul Mooney shows all the time. And it was always
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: white people. Yeah, they would always lead.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: They was offended, like I'm leaving, and they wouldn't make
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: no noise about it. They would just get up and leave,
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: and Paul would be like, oh, why are you leaving? Nah,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: it's not for me.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's the perfect thing.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: If it's not for you, it's not for you, be
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: out exactly.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But there might be someone who finds it funny.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: So that's the trigger thing where it's like one individual
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: shouldn't decide what everybody finds funny. But in terms of
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: the thing you were talking about, like, yeah, if black
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: women are upset at that thing that said, yeah, you're
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: totally allowed to be upset. There's this rule that, like
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: a lot of comics say, like people aren't allowed to
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: be offended.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: You're allowed to feel however you want to feel, especially
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: if you don't know me.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Like, if you know me, you know my attentions, You're like,
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm just trying to bust balls and like
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: make a fucking stupid joke, and maybe the joke wasn't
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: that funny, but like, my intentions are always good.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: If you don't know me, you just see it, You're like, oh,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: what fuck is this asshole? So I'm not even upset
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: at your response.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: Like that was my first take, And then we talked
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: about it in the room, like me and Charlotte, because
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: my first sake was like, well, who is he to
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: even like you're welcome, things were welcoming you here be
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: a guest.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: But well it's my thought.
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I mean, but just in our world of
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: like black women and what we deal with as fre
• 36:41
  Speaker 8: as tropes. But I will say, after watching a special
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: and after you know, having conversations with Charla, I'm like,
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: I mean a joke is a joke as a joke. Like, granted,
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: some people are still gonna be upset. They probably be
• 36:51
  Speaker 8: upset that I just said that, But it depends on
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: the person and you can't win. You got to figure
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: out where you wo line you going to trade.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: I also think those those two dudes from the thing,
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: like they're in a tricky situation because like they I
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: think they had said that they didn't find women Atlanta attractive,
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: and I think a lot of black women in Atlanta
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: were like, oh shit, are you trying to say you
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: don't like black women?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: They don't get me started on them.
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: They came out and apologized down, Okay, they gave like
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: five renditions of an apology, and they can still stay
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: where they're at.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: And I think, but I think people see.
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: The bullshit like you know some sellouts when you see them,
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: So it's not like it's it's so they're trying to
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: like position it. They try to put it on me,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: and some people fell for the bait, like Ryan Clark
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: felt for the bait and like made a whole like
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: cloud moment out of it when he didn't even realize,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Like the thing you should be addressing is the two
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: clowns that are basically saying black women are ugly.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: And then laughing at the joke on the other podcast.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: So it's like, that's the issue, not the comedian making
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: a joke about the hypothetical situation.
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: Well, we can move on after this.
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: I will argue that all of you guys were a
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: part of the problem in that moment, but I think
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: again it's to each his own. I didn't like though,
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: that they threw it one way and didn't take accountability
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: for the fact that, like, y'all were actively engaged and
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: it's fine if you wanted to do that.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: On oh, they were like.
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: We should have, we should We were uncomfortable. We just
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: didn't want to say anything in the moment. We were just
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: trying to get through. And it's like, y'all want y'all
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: were not victims, y'all. Y'all were actively engaged.
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: Just shut up.
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: Y'all were actively engaged. Y'all were having a good time.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: The not uncomfortable. The only time they're uncomfortable is around
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: beautiful black women.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Obviously. Damn. That is a good question.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: How have podcasting changed the way you approach I guess
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: comedy and after you know, these couple of recent situations.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: The situation I needs, the situation I saw, but how
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: it approached, how you discussed things now, you know, your.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Cares like an interesting one. Like I guess I could
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: deal with people not liking me because these.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Things a lot of times are momentarily like that. They'll
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: they'll not like you for a few weeks and they
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: think they won't like you then to move on to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: somebody else that they don't like, et cetera.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: So that's not really like the big, big issue, you know,
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: it's just a It is one of those things where
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: I go, like, all right, if I'm if I'm shooting
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: and it's on something like if it's on something really wild,
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: I want to make sure that I could ideally that
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: shot is is amazing, you know, but I'm gonna fail,
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Like you don't make funny jokes every single time, and
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I and I like shooting.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: That means I'm gonna shoot and miss a lot, you know.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: But I just got to basically understand that, Like they
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: are gonna be people that don't know me, and however.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: They interpret me. I can't control that.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Like there are people that think I'm like some right
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: wing maga lunatic and I I literally as much as
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: I would want them to be, Like, Bro, you've never
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: had a conversation with me, Like you don't know anything
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: about my.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Life like you people exactly.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: So it's like you can't control how people how people
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: feel about you, and you just have to continue, at
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: least in my opinion.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Just put out good art.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: And when I have the opportunity to put out like
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: a good piece of art, like hopefully The Special does that,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: Like hopefully you see the mo distilled version. We were
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: talking about this yesterday, Like you know, when he puts
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: out a book, it's the most distilled version of his
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: thoughts and there's less fat for you.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: To interpret in a shitty way.
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: When I'm on a pod just shooting ship, there's tons
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: of fat for you to interpret. When you see The Special,
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: I feel like you get a really distilled version of
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: like how I think and how I feel. If you
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: get offended by something in The Special, I could really
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: live with that because I've worked hard to make it
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: pierce through, even like the sharpest armor for the most
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: protective armor.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Now do get that. I do also want to ask
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: do you still want to make love to Kendrick?
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Lamar.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, honestly, it's hard to say.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: No to that.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: You find him a jacke?
• 40:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, man, did you see him in the clean jean?
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: When I saw those jeans, I was like, boom boom,
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: bom boot.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: That was a joke.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: That shit raises him so fast. I'm just saying, he's little,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: like I hate having to explain jokes.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: He's adye baty, So why is he telling he's gonna
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: kill my telling people to kill my friends.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: The biggest thing about.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: This whole shit that nobody I didn't.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Even cared that he said this shit about like me.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Not saying jokes like that to me is like a
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: million people who said not say jokes. The next line
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: where he goes into the m words that Koon and
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: the Edwards being groomed, slide on both of them.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: What a slide mean to y'all?
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: Take you out? But that's because I'm hold on.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: I ain't no explaining him. If you say kill my friends,
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: everything after that is fine. You took it there.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: If you say kill.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: My friends, because a lot of people thought that was
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: Charlemagne and Alex Media. So if you go the next
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: line you tell your fans to kill my friends, you
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: getting made.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Love to listen.
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: I appreciate my friend trying to stick up for me,
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: but I don't think he was talking about I don't think.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: But how am I supposed to know?
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Like I didn't say anything for weeks. That was the
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: other thing, Like people ran with these different narratives. They
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: tried to act like after what I said, I was
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: worried about like getting death threats and shit. It's like no,
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: I was getting at the second they said it for
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: two weeks sensation shit, I filed my special I don't
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: really give a fuck. And then after that I was like, Yo,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: we're gonna have some fun with this. But I don't
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: like this idea that like I'm this big bully. It's
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: like you told your people to kill my friends after
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: you say that, or that's the potential interpretation if somebody
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: said in a rap song to kill your friends.
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: But do you understand though that that that was in
• 42:34
  Speaker 8: response to him feeling like you came at what he
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: would deem his friends or his people or people he's
• 42:38
  Speaker 8: trying to protect, talking about.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: They make fun of my friends.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: But if you in the street, if you outside, you outside,
• 42:43
  Speaker 8: you can't choose whether you out or in. It's like
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: you out or you in.
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, So then if he wants to play by those rules,
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: then don't be surprised at the response.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It feels like he's inside and outside.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: Plus it's a weird matchup, right, because you got a rapper,
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: right who's a Prolympic rapper, and then you got a
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: comedian who's to say anything for the joke. So it's
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: not even just like what are we doing here?
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: I think it's because it's platform and it's like people
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: listen to you and your voice and your podcast. That's
• 43:07
  Speaker 8: why that that's why that stuff went so viral, because
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: you got the numbers and then he has it too.
• 43:12
  Speaker 7: So at the moment he's like, Okay, you know you.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Want to talk about Gary Owens.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: That's that's a good point.
• 43:16
  Speaker 8: Nobody we don't know I'm not about I know exactly
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: what he was talking about because I heard, and I
• 43:29
  Speaker 8: knew exactly what.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was. I didn't think it was me.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I was like, why are we talking about me?
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: Because of the ships and giggles and all the last.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he was talking about math.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: He got to be kept saying he was talking about me,
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: and I was like, wait, if he's talking about me,
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: and is he telling people to kill my friends?
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I got to do something about that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: I got to do something.
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: I gotta do something, Like I'm not a tough guy,
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm a certified lover boy.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: But you're always going to be perceived as the bully
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: because you're a white man.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I just thought that, right, like me, I thought you
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: mean that right? No, No, what you mean?
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: No?
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: Like, am I am I bully? Like I just thought
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: it was like you a bully. The size differential, that's
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: what I thought. No, it's a it's a you think
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: there's a racial dynamic. Duh, Yeah, I guess I didn't know.
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, of course. And it's the it's the privileged conversation.
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: It's like what you can get on the plat, like
• 44:23
  Speaker 8: the ships and giggles. Guys, they hadn'tize sixty times.
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: You know, you said something is not as interesting. You said,
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: it's the privileged conversation. You know, we all can say
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: whatever it is we want to say. You just got
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: to be able to deal with the consequences.
• 44:35
  Speaker 8: White most people can't exactly and most people don't have
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: the platform, and they're not they're not teflon down like you.
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: They don't have fifteen years of the game. They not
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: picked up by Fox News and seeing it and shaved
• 44:45
  Speaker 8: room like.
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: You other other people. Right list is a political.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: You know that you just want to hear just he's
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: got a guy with glasses and a bow tie. Listen
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: his podcast Way for Charlotte made to say one bad
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: thing about the Democrats.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: If we don't even think about stuff like that.
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: But but it's the truth though, because you have a
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: platform that a lot of other people don't have. Kendrick
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: Lamar has a platform. So he's like, all right, bet
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: you're gonna get outside. You're gonna laugh, jokey, I'm outside
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: for my woman front of the Black Woman.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: It's lucid Kendrick.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: Because Kendrick does what he wants to do and he
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: gets rewarded for like you can do that.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: This whole thing got blown out of purport. Like honestly,
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: I think he's like obviously a prolific rapper.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: He's you know, he's it's.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: Not my the thing that I listened to all the time.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: But like to say, he's not like fantastic at what
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: he does is ridiculous, And I have a lot of
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: respect for anybody that puts something out for judgment.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people who, like,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: they just.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: Make reaction content, right, so they don't really know what
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: it's like to like create a piece of art and
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: put it out there in the world and let the
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: world judge it.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: You have to deal with that.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: That takes balls, and I admire people that have balls.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Trump's trades, executive orders, what he do.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: He got rid of trance, he got rid of trans
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: what women, They're not around anymore. But that is that
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: is Yeah, that is how it is.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how it is?
• 46:13
  Speaker 7: Every day shine but the sun still come up.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: I think there are trans people, No, there are, But yeah,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: just recognize him.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that he's allowed to, like, you can't force
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: me to recognize.
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: He's allowed to not believe. But that don't mean that
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: it's not true.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I was watching squid Game. If they didn't have the numbers,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm recognizing what you know what
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, If.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: They didn't number them, I don't know if I'm recognizing everyone.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know I don't really.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: Now listen, let me apologize before an Asian rapper comes
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: from me.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Jim, I'm sorry, hits me up.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: Get what you mean by the numbers?
• 46:59
  Speaker 9: And oh god, no ever watch comedy, to watch watch comedy,
• 47:08
  Speaker 9: let her watch comedy.
• 47:11
  Speaker 8: I wait, back to your special Yes, I was thinking,
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: and I know you and your wife have been together
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: for some years, so it's like a hypothetical question for
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: or more of an ego question. At any point when
• 47:21
  Speaker 8: that was happening and you found out that it was
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: your fault because of you know, just your pride and
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: your ego being hurt, did y'all feel like, man, like,
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: what if she leaves me because I can't make this happen?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a part of you that goes through that.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: You're just like, will she not find me like as
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: masculine or not find me attractive? Like will something primarily
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: happen inside her where like she'll reject me because I
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: can't do the thing we're.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Put here to do.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: So you, yeah, you immediately go through that, and then
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: like that insecurity takes over and then you're like more
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: sensitive about certain things if she's not being sweet one
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: day You're.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Like, is that it?
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: You know? Did she stop?
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: So this ship tears apart relationships. That's why I tell people, like,
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: if you find out there's a problem, do I feel yeah,
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: IVF immediately instead of like going through the emotional turmoil
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: that could break you guys up. But but no, She's like,
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: I mean this is like a little thing in the
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: special nobody would really understand or even probably catch. But
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: like the first joke I make in the special is
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: about this you know about about guys who say we're
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: pregnant and I was insulting to women.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: And then I say, yes like my wife when my
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: wife says that we made a lot of money. Right.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: The last piece to.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: The special is when my wife is is saying, uh,
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: you know when when she thought that she lost the baby,
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: and I'm apologizing. I'm like, I'm so sorry that this
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: is my fault and you got to bear the burden,
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: and she goes, you don't have problems. We have problems,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: we'll do it together. So it's this idea that like
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: in this in the beginning, I'm having this really selfish
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: thought of like I make the money in the house.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: And then when she's dealing with the toughest things she's
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: ever dealt with in her life. She's that's my fault.
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: She's still taking on some of it because we're together.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: So it's yeah, you find out who people are in
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: these tough situations. I got a good one. I got
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: a good one.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: What is your conversations like with fifty?
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I know, I know fifties. Fifty is the goat.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I know he's he loves you as a comedian, and
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: I know you pull up for him.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: He pulls up for you. What what's your conversation with
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: him when all this is going on?
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: Yo, I just yeah, he did I hit him up
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: or hit me up? Or we're trying to get him
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: on the pod and he's like, yeah, I'm pulling up.
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: But like he's the type of person that like he is, Like,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: how do I explain it? It's like, you know how
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: like in wrestling, whether the people are booing or cheering,
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: like as long as they're making.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: A sound, he's not afraid of anything.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: There are people that are probably like scared to do
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: like credit Charlomagne too, Like Charlotte could have easily been like, hey,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: the heat is on you and they're gonna be upset
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: at me doing a pot with you every single week,
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: and he know, let's take a few weeks off.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: But he's been there before, so he understands that's not
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: rock with my friends.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Stands by me.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: Always always, but that's just this is actually, this is
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: real ones. So he's the type of person also who
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: like he doesn't care what the trend is. So many
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: people are like motivated and moved by the trend, and
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: he's the type of person he don't give a fuck
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: what the trend is. And so if if there's like
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: negative energy, you know, give a fuck there's positive, he
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: don't give a fuck.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: He moves to the beatings his own drum.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: But I remember Charlotte Mane had a dope thing to
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: me when when I was going through that last one
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: and there was like people, there's even people in my
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: community like comedians like saying some certain things about me,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: and Charlott Mane was like, Yo, this is actually good.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: You're going through this right now.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: I go, why he goes, because you're about to hit
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: another level when the special comes out.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: And you got to pay close attention to who's hating now?
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: I go, what do you mean?
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: He goes?
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Uh, Because whoever's hating now has been hating the whole time. Absolutely,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: But they didn't feel comfortable coming out. They were waiting
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: for you to look wounded.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: It's like laws of the jungle, you know what I mean,
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: Like the lion only attacks like the baby gazelle, you know.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: And uh and like I took note, bro, I got yeah,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: I got notes and I can't wait for them to feel.

  Speaker 6: your significant other got to watch it together.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: The fact that you guys went through it, I'm really
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: curious your your perspective.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: But that's why we talk That's what we talked about.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: That's why we make it our business to talk about

  Speaker 3: it in the book, and we pot about it all
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: the time because so.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Many people came up to and was like, yeah, we
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: were dealing with the same thing.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: We felt like failures and men came up to me
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: on the side it was like, I thought it was
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: just me.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to console my wife.

  Speaker 3: whole lot different. It just is like because it's the
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: most precious thing in the world. And if you're able
