Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome, thank you and I'm serious, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Oh no, I'm excited. I was like, is he really coming?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Like I ain't seen you in a minute. It came
good to see you. I feel like this is when
I thought of you. And it's privately life.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
To do with drinks, I bet yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So so so I got a place right and I
got all moved all my liquor into the place. Last
time I think we saw each other, you were hosting
a Facebook comedy show where you were giving young comedians
an opportunity to do their thing, and we was like
one of the judges, yeah, one of the mentors or whatever,
and I think you've gifted us with a bunch of
different liquors.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah this is during the pandemic, so yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You gift us a bunch of nice liquors. And one
of them was a bottle of white grapes of Rock.
And when I moved it to my place, I pull
it out my liquor box and put on a little
liquor shell, and I'm like, do I pull it out
because of puffect or does it not matter now? And
I can still finish?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What do we do with it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Was fucking amazing And I don't even know if I
can say that we hear what he got the money?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, it's owned by Diagio also, so let's be it's
not like it was a brand that existed and he
became the face of it and has Okay, yeah, Delion
was his that he created, but Siak did exist before that,
just okay into a year okay.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, but I thought about I started to text you, like,
can I still drink this? And nothing the guilt? Baby?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know, I want to say. And I do appreciate that,
you know, because to me, you're like one of the
greats when it comes to comedy. And I did this
show on Facebook called Mastery of Comedy where I really
wanted to help like up and coming comics kind of
just get together a set that was flawless, right, And
so you were one of the four mentors. I think
it was done out rollings. It was Ada Rodriguez, it
(02:02):
was you, and it was Carlos Miller and for those comedians,
it was like epic for them. But it was also
during the pandemic when nobody was really filming things in person,
no one.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Had money for when one was working.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, and I wanted to put a little bit of
money in people's you know, pocket too, because I know
things like things like that help. And so I do
want to say it was amazing to me because I
was like, you really think we can get him, but
you know, it was a little slow for people.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But no, I like, I like running with young comics,
like you know me, like you can vouch for this.
I don't really have a circle. Like no, I knew
what everybody. I know everybody all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Someone here is where everyone always has a nice thing
to say about war with no matter I twelve the country,
Everyone's like.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh yeah, I love war.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, no one's of them like war that nigga on
be fifty dollars like everyone is.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Everyone says tamatics girlfriend, the nicest.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thing about.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Apologies.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know you bought up to rock And we were
talking about this earlier because Nikki Glazier she did like
a Diddy joke and people were mad that was it.
At the Golden Globe. Yeah, the Golden globes and that
kind of like she did a great job, but that
but the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Joke, I don't I don't remember that one specifically, but
like it was was it like these people all invited.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
To I think the after party wasn't going to be
so good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It was like it was a throwing line. It was
such a throwery line. She's like, yeah, that was that
was a line. She's like, the afterparty is not gonna
be as fun. And then she said some other dudes
name folks just want.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To be mad.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, people do want to be mad.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And it's like that wasn't an endorsement of whatever. It
wasn't in disrespect to victim. It's if anything, it's calling
the people in the room complicit. Would be in a
part of all of that wild ship. Right. So No,
she's fine. Nikki is a great comedian man.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And plus, you love a good sex party.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Listen, not yet I got invited to one. I talk
about that in the special I.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Know only Flowers January seventh.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give it all away,
but I will give a shout out uh to the
homie King Noir and his wife Jet said, and jazzmin
I know, I'm gonna just leave it at that. That's
black porn legends.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I know, fine, he is, he knows that I think
that though I'm in his DMS right now being in creep.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm sorry. Yeah, i'd be harassing at the men, and
he's a merry man. I don't give a ship.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You never know, no No.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I did a story with the Day when I was
still at the Daily Show. We did a story on
discriminate race, on racism and the porn industry, and I
chopped it up the King. I chopped it up with
Jazz and they broke that whole situation down for me
and we just became cool and then cool. I would
say to cool enough, like, hey, we do a thing
with some of the couples and come to the thing.
(04:51):
But it really was a beautiful conversation to have with them,
just about the concept of sex parties and what people
look for when you go to one. My is you
with the invite was that they don't tell you who
else is gonna be there. You just got it.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's like, well, that's how sex parties are though, that's
you don't know who's gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's fucked up. I can't get like a.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I mean, you don't have to have sex with everyone there.
You have sex with the people you want to have
sex with.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We talked just a little county'll be talking eight and
his wife already married. The game he make three, so
we're only talking five possibles. Two of them gonna be men.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So you can't have his wife.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I wouldn't want to like that feels rude.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Also, you wouldn't if you've seen, if you wait, if
you've seen how King looks no offense to.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You, you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You can't follow.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You ain't following that he is no offense.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But I feel like I feel like you would rather
have sex with a man's wife and he not knowing
that be exciting and just because you could die versus Hey,
man and I have a good time.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Sometimes dangerous fun.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
People absolutely fun.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah. Is that called the cook is when they watch?
That's where you know.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Because that's what isn't he going to be watching?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He's gonna know A little.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Part is not as fun.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
He's saying the fact that you hide in somebody's closet
is the fun part.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
But no, they were, but for what they do and
I'm not knocking anybody that's on that, because at the
end of the day, that's what the special about. I'm
just talking about connection and the fact we're not connected
as people and there's still pockets of people that still
care enough to build community. Even if it is sucking
and fucking for a week.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And have that's a community.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's still community, good community, And so I'll take you
where for it, one at a time. Just the idea though,
of figuring out a way to be connected with people
and just finding people that are into whatever it is
you into and just doing that. I think for too long,
we try too hard to hang on to friends who
no longer serve us because we got roots. So what
(06:52):
have y'all been friends ten fifteen years? If you've grown apart,
you're grown to part and you have to find that
next person or that next group of people that feeds you,
because you got to be running with people that's on
the same stuff that you're on, and if you're not,
you're doing yourself a disservice.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So that's the title Lonely Flowers we were talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I was wondering what the title I.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Told that came out like I think it's about like
connection and how we're missing different connections also, but you
can explain it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You see a flower by itself, it looks weird like
a rose and concrete, like they say, But when you
put a bunch of flowers together, it's a beautiful bouquet
and they look like they all belong.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, I never thought about that, and I think.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The society is that like like this flower versus this
whole bouquet like that, that's beautiful. That's like, oh, what's
wrong with your motherfucker?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You look said, but somebody gives you one rose, like
you clearly didn't spend enough money to bring me a
whole dozen, don't you?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Don't you? But that's a woman doll like that? Or
you don't want that single rose from the lady in
the club. It's weird, right, Lady's how they do it
down south of it to a Mexican lady in Houston.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Lady, Well, without giving away too much of the special,
you did touch on a couple of things you of
course touched on, and it was very funny how you
addressed the daily showing your mom.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And that's a true story.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's a true story because here's the thing man.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
When also my mom's name was also Joyce.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh my mom. Ye black people, Florida. I tell you
something about black families, man, Black families know when you're
about to hit the lick because because because what happened,
the way went down, Trevor Trevor Noah resigns, right, and
then they do guest hosts for a year.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, and I'm one.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Of the guest hosts and you know, stuff's moving and
there my name's in the hat.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I said on the air. I was like, worrybo Junia
is the only person I could see, Like, that's a
smooth transition.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Everybody likes. You want to show everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I was like, that's a natural. What's about to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It ain't happened, and that's fine. But what what I
told my mom at the time, we was like we
was parking watching each other. Ain't gonna even lie. I was,
you know, they're supposed to decide on this host in
a couple of weeks. You know, how much left on
your house. That's what I call my mom. I call
my mile. How much left on your house? Like it's time, Joys,
(09:05):
you're finna get your ship paid off. And then I
found out they wasn't they wasn't gonna rock with me
like that. I called my mama back and I'm like, yeah,
you need to go back to work together.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
George put it in two weeks because take it back.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I paid off the Lincoln though I got linking money.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, well that's but I do. But I never want
to take away from the fact that it has to
be hard when people are like we just said, everybody
thought that was it. That's a shoe in I feel,
you know, and that can't be easy for you when
you're also probably thinking, Okay, everyone's saying it, it's a.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Natural, even like people were printing it, like people were
saying it in printing everything.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But I mean, you know, you're black in this country.
You gotta know it ain't nothing guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's the fact. And so until you have that contract
in front of you signed and.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Be told they shot whole movies if they ain't released, right,
you know what I'm saying. So I didn't seen people
get cast on TV shows and then they get recast
before the show even get released. Until it's on air,
it ain't real. So you know, I'm blessed enough to
have failed enough to not be surprised by anything in
(10:10):
this industry, right, you know? I you know I did
you know how radio is? Radio cutthroat? I got fired.
I found out I got fired on Twitter when I
left Birmingham. I've been at that station ten twelve years.
But that's the game, you know. I ain't mad about it.
I had. I was on a sitcom on TBS. We
had a season four guaranteed on the Handshake. Boy quit
the network the next day. The new dude came in,
(10:32):
canceled everything but Conan O'Brien. So that's the game. And
you literally eating a celebratory stak the night before, just
waiting on your PDF to come through so you can
docu sign. Hey the contracts in click the significant next day. Hey,
sorry about that. It ain't gonna happen. He's changing up
everything so you can look like you in the in
(10:52):
the driver's seat to have something. But I think ultimately,
when Trevor Noah put in his resignation he was still
at the show that whole year where he was still there,
I was like, Shit, what I'm gonna do now? What's
next for me? Maybe I need to figure it out?
And then the more I looked at it, the more
it just seemed like going into an election year. If
(11:13):
there's ever a time to build something else for myself,
leave now, and you know, thankfully got the Saturday Night
jokes on CNN. Now, so what have I got news
for you? That was a blessing to come down. But
I don't think that that's something I could even been
able to receive had I not already taken the leap
away from the Daily Show. Yeah, sometimes you got to
(11:34):
take that step away to get to the.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Next because you get comfortable right in a position, and
so sometimes it is like something has to happen to
kind of push you to say, okay, let me get
out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And you have to approach every job knowing that it
is a lease unless you work for yourself. Whatever job
you have, it is temporary, right even in death, it's temporary.
So sooner or later, my time at this show will conclude.
Do should I leave now and have some control over
(12:08):
how I land?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Or so you wait till they let you go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You want to get pushed out the plane, you want
to jump out the plane. Sooner or later you leave
in the plane. I chose to jump, and then I
figure i'll have a better sense of how to land.
You know, this Hulu special is a byproduct of that,
because as soon as I left the Daily Show, I
don't know for sure that somebody else is gonna rock
with me and let me host something. The shit we
do in at CNN is literally the only new new
(12:34):
satire show to come out.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm so gladly they announced it because I needed something like.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And God bless them, they let us cut a fool
on Saturday nights. The ratings reflected. I can't talk about
the other six days. I know y'all got a lot
of issues. All I can tell you is Saturday night
at nine o'clock we act in a donkey. But to
go and have the time now to sit and do
stand up on a regular basis. I've sold a book
that's coming out at the end of the year. I've
(13:00):
sold three TV shows. All of this motion happened after
I jumped out the plane, right so to me, the
idea of regretting it or should you have stayed?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I don't believe in regrets. I mean, you know,
I left the breakfast club to come here and start
my own You understand it. Yeah, And sometimes you do
have to put yourself in different positions. You know. They
always say it's like the thirty three Strategies of war,
kind of put your back up against the wall and
fight your way through it and something amazing can happen.
But I do always try to prepare for if something
(13:31):
doesn't work out, let me make sure I have other things.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh, I put eight pots on the stone. Yeah, I
see immediately. It's then I'm working on podcasts to the book.
It's called A Man and MANI fathers. It's about so
my pops died when I was sixteen, and the book
is about the lessons I learned from other men through
my life from then till now. Because you know, I
have a son he's eight. So the idea of what
values am I going to instill in him? Well, where
(13:54):
did I get those values from? And they weren't all
from my dad, you know. So it could be something
that's profound as love and life, and it could be
something as deep as don't snitch and shut your ass up.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Nice. It's gonna be an audio.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, I can read some of the mother Figers.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You haven't just saying that because he can't read and
he wants to do the audio, but.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He's fair though some audio books, you'll get an audio
book from your favorite celeb, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I know one that's bad. I won't say on air,
I'll say it off air, but it's beautiful life.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
They have an amazing story to tell. But then they
get him in that booth flavor chopped one.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It is bad.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It was there.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But after we air that, I would let y'all know
who's lord.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can hear the veins, you can hear him struggling
to read. They can't pronounce the word that was written down.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
What you just say because they won't make people want
to get the No, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Not gonna no, I'm not gonna say. I don't want that.
The person's famous, don't want that smoke.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I must know. And am I mentioned a book to Achimi?
He's like, is there an audiobook? I'm like, okay, I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
A texted Yeah right, I do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, So you know, and the podcast, Oh well, that
ain't together yet, but that's the next pot we're putting
on the stove. As soon as we get through this
Hulu promotion and that and that pot, simme it down,
we're gonna take that ship off the stove. We're gonna
put something new on that. So it's all about just
if you look at where media is going, and it's
we the content creators. You know, people like you, and
(15:28):
you like, we have the power. Now you know, it's
not just about solely working for one company. You have
opportunities to build your own networks and empires for yourself
and reach people. And so you know, I want that.
I want that. I want that money too. I want
it all.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And you deserve it. And I feel like I think
once people see this too when I tell you so funny,
Like I said, I just got the screener and I
watched it twice already, and I know when it comes
out on Hulu, I'm gonna end up watching it again.
There's certain parts. What I like to do when I
watch stuff is in my story post a little like
a few seconds, you know, clip of something funny that happens.
I'm gonna do that. I do that when I watch
(16:08):
ninety Day Fiance.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's your show, I do.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I love that show.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I haven't watched that one yet.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Please do you watch Love Is Blind?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I watch a little bit of that. I like Naked
and Afraid because.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
They be I know, like that show.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's like love is Blind, but just no supplies.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
And are they really naked? And afraid?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They blurred though I don't want you to think I'm
watching it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So sex parties naked in the phrase.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's all time. What happened is the drugs, That's all
I am. I'm one addiction away from really making it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You get druged at the sex party.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Now, listen, we keep talking about this. When we first
started the conversation, before we even got on the air,
I said to you, I really relate to your special,
like certain things you talked about, and you said, you're
the sex party. I said, no, that is not what
I was talking about, which is crazy. Sorry, I have
a podcast called lip service, but you know I've never
been to a sex party.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
When you when the special, the more I started putting
them interior together. It's just about connection and the fact
that we don't talk and interact no more. And so
you just started looking at where in the world do
we not talk no more than we used to talk?
And the number one spot is retail. Right, you don't
talk no more like the cashier used to be your
one fake ass friend. That's a nice Oh, that's scarf,
(17:30):
it's lift and now that's self checkout. So now you
got to argue with some asshole who mad because you
don't know how to scan stuff. I don't work here, right, And.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Then you have to keep calling them over because it's like,
please call the cashier over to and then they have
to put your code in.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Please roll their eyes like I didn't, I didn't clock in.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know. And then the boxes
they put the QR code next to the barcode. So
the machine scanned the QR and go, you didn't scan
it right, scan it again, or.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
If you don't, put it in the area where the
bag is.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Just think that. But I think the employees have attitudes
because they ain't they're not appreciated by their bosses. So
a lot of it, it's not even their fault. We're
just interacting with people who just in a bad You
just in it as my uncle calling you in a
tight situation. When you're in the tight, ain't no telling
whos gonna stamp on who. That's why everybody cussing out.
These fast food workers you saw in Alabama, they got
(18:26):
they hire prisoners to work fast food I worked. Yeah,
that's why you need to watch your mouth. Yeah, argue
about the baconator.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
People, are you?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
It blows my mind with someone argues about a sandwich
they paid a dollar for.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was your show day. Some day it is your
day to get the bad sandwich. And that's just what
it is. You can't get imagine.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I worked at Burric for eight years.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I never worked in what I'm trying to think
of something nowhere, the deep front. No, I did not.
I did a supermarket.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I worked nothing but fast food. That's how I survived.
When you work, I worked were Subway, Eat Fresh, Basking, Robbins, Shoneyes.
That's the southern spot I know. So I know a
group of Okay, Golden Corral was the main lick and
I worked at out Back steakhouse for three days. What
happened that it was too nasty because we was on
(19:16):
the cleaning crew. We were the overnight cleaning crew. So
you come and do dishes and then you do the
deep clean of like the deep friars.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And the degrees and it was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, I don't know if you have a degrees that
you ain't work in the kitchen. Degrees and it's just
something like that. I wouldn't wish that on nobody.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I did it for yeah, a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's right up there with laying heart hot tars.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It might make you never want to eat no fried food.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh when I when I quit burri king, I didn't
need a burri king for like three or four years
and then you came back.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So I did work at the store, like the supermarket
on campus at school. When I was in college, I
worked at Macy's in retail, Okay, I worked at Lord
and Taylor where else.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I feel like everybody should work fast food or retail.
Retail for a year. Yeah, like some foreign countries make
you serve in the military for a year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We all got to do that, so we can appreciate
people who have.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Maybe you shut your ass up when the bacon they
ain't right. So you work. Let me ask you a
question about like retail though retail, do like all the
employees do they be having sex with each other like
they doing fast food?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You know what it is. There's some people that work
there that have been there forever, Like there were people
that worked at Macy's for like thirty years and so
there's some people that are a lot older that are
working there. But then I think I was in college.
I did have a little boyfriend when I worked at
Macy's because we were they bring in like the college
kids to come in for you know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
He worked in Tommy Hill figure and you worked Tommy hard.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But he got fired because I'm gonna be honest, like
damn it. Everybody got fired for stealing stealing. Yeah, I
still I didn't get caught, But my stealing is different
because I'm a little more. I'm not gonna just like
walk out with some stuff. What I did was I
used to bring stuff to a whole different department to
the register right that was in the store, and had
(21:03):
them ringing up as a return. So now it looks
like I'm ringing some stuff up that I'm actually buying,
but it's really a return. So not only did I
get the product, but I also got a credit.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh oh, you was double dippens.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
So I don't think that would work today. And then
I would go and take the credit and shop and
buy other things that I wanted.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, that's how we got called.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, you was living a dream out there.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I was scamming in college and the cashier. This is
at Dillarts. Shout out to Tyler hassee Mall North Monroe.
We was at Dillard's and she was under charging us
for the stuff, but we had a stolen credit card,
so just charged me full price. Mo fucker, why are
you giving me a discount?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, a discount.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Because the lick was she worked in Tommy Girls. So
we would just get whatever, and Tommy Girl charge it,
come back to the wait a week, come back to
the store, do the return, and then shop off the
return legit charge. It was like four dollars for dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
He wasn't getting much credit.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
No, she's charging us four dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then when you return it, you're just getting you still.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Get the ninety dollars. Okay, okay, yeah, okay, she's just charged.
She would just charge you for say, socks.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, don't try this, Okay, go ahead, this is ninety
I'm sure the game different now.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
There's no way you.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Can tighten up now. But in ninety eight you could
get a ninety dollars sweater for four dollars, bring it
back shop on the ninety. But that's how she got caught,
and so then we got caught and that's why all that,
and that's how I got.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I know, they fired everybody and that I came in
to work with. And the other thing I used to do.
They call it stealing time, so I would actually not
go to work. But there was this guy Boris. He
was like, yeah, he would clock me in.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That ship.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I was. I was a loser at work clocking other
people in.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Thank you, because I was like, I don't want to
I don't want to lose you. People like us couldn't
thry it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I was getting bully clocked me and nigga alright five
anything like I.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Was quieting everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh my god, you got to remember to clock everybody
out too.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, and remember to have me go to lunch, you know,
because we need an hour for lunch. So he had
to clock me out for lunch and then clack me
back in. So he was thank you. Bars.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
We was running credit cards. That was much easy. This
sounds like a lot of words. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I want to ask you this because we talked about
this earlier today. Somebody called in what was it was
it for? Ask ye? She was complaining because her boyfriend
has terrible halotosis and she doesn't know how to talk
they've been again a ten years. It's a recent thing.
She set him up an appointment for the dentist. He's
canceled it three times. She said his breath is so
bad she won't even let him perform oral sex on her. Right.
(23:39):
So this was the conversation. First, I want to hear
your advice. And then I have another question.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Are we sure that her coochie ain't the cause of
the well?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He ain't been down there? How are you gonna blame her? See,
that's such a man thing to do.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And I'm just saying, the bacteria get up in there
if he floss, like on some real ship though, that
bad breath could be a precursor to diabetes. And yeah, yeah,
like on some real legit internal health issues. It might
not even be brush your teeth. You need to go
get his blood run. Yeah, so you know she needs
(24:15):
to try and get him on some Let's go take
an STD test and then but I don't know. I
ain't no nigga. Ten years, he ain't gonna agree to
blood work. I might have gave you herpees, but I
really want you to check a cholesterol.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Uh, I'm saying because the people would have a stink.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Know what I'm saying. When they do, when they when
they take your blood for like an STD, they can
run it for everything else under the sun, from cancer,
the cholesterol and you know all of that other ship.
So maybe you get him in for some blood. Maybe
play it like a health I'm concerned for your health, right,
that's what we said. That's exactly what. Yes, but just
a fixed show. This is a turn off to me. Okay,
(24:58):
I don't know if you're a big dude, but I
bet you I bet money and diabetes.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right, it could because they said gastro intestinal issues. Well,
the second part of this is I did ask her
if she has a name for her vagina, so she
named her vagina Crystal. And so my question is this
because I feel like do men name their I thought
men name their penis.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, that meat like me, that's some South.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I mean meat. Yeah, I don't think dudes named the dicks.
I don't think that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
If you could name it that dick at meat, that's
just weird to have a name and an identity and
a personality.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
That's just also it was weird you name it something
and then it don't live up to what you name
it now you look kind of goofy, or.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If one of your friends happens to have the same name.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, I think men, I don't know. I ain't never
know no man to do that, Like I ain't ever
on the dude who named his dick and then told
his friends about it. I do think we name the
places where we have set like come step into the office,
so you need to you need to come see me
like a supervisor.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Like you talk about it like that sounds more like
you're playing like a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
A little bit of role play. But I think that's
more of a you know, yeah, we need, we need
some time, We need some time. I don't know. I
don't even know if men even talk about that. It
is a question like all these women making money off
only fans, right, like a million a month? Two million?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Killing it?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Okay, why don't And maybe this might be.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Different than your work men go crazy?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Do gay men admit to others, admit to their friends
that they're on only fans? As a straight man, I
don't know a single man who is on only fans.
I ain't never had a homeboy go hate fellers. Yeah,
we'll check out defeat to day look at the feet.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I think that is the stigma for only fans straight
man is if a straight man's making money on only fans,
he's making it from gay man.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
No, I'm talking about it's a customer. Somebody is cutomer.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
It's I got what you're saying that that they agree
that they subscribe to other.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I know we've had rappers on here who have said
that they've been disappointed, like what they subscribe to somebody's
and it doesn't live up to.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
The hype order.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, like they.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Said that to you. Yeah, they say that to their
homeboy man. You know who Only fans I don't like,
Like I've never and I'm trying to understand why man
ain't more open about.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
It, because I think that's how straight man, because gay
did to talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I just think that's how you help to normalize this culture.
Only fans is normal. Like anytime you hear somebody like
admit I've started and only fans because it's not working
out for me a way of like, no.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
People are like to save my home. Young lady from
family matters. She started and she made like almost a
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
In the it's a lot of work. Like people think,
only fans isn't a job, you got it, It's a
lot of work.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I will say this. I could see like starting an
only fans and then people will come on just out
of curiosity, putting nothing on there, and then just go away.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And I'm just saying, God blessed the women. God blessed
women for making their money. You're safe, it's legal. But
I just I don't know, no man who will admit that.
I just I don't know. Maybe I just roll.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, maybe you should be the first person to talk
about you don't subscribe.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I would not. I would not get an only fan.
You can search my phone apps right now.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Nobody subscribed. Don't look at anyone's nobody front.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
You can look through my apps right now.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
What if Okay, let me ask you a question. What if?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
What if you're high school only fans? What you get? ESPN?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wait? What is the X videos? But I love the
fact that we both still go to media takeout. Yeah
for me to take us gonna come out up here
to a month and do like some of the time, listen.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I am well informed from MSNBC all the way to
media takeout. I gotta know what's going on around the world.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
What do you think about Canada joining the US?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yo? This administration. This is about to be the wildest
first one hundred days. I'm so administration. This boy then
said that he is gonna turn Canada into the fifty
first state, the whole state mine you. Canada got nine
ten provinces, each of them could be their own, twelve states,
the whole state of Canada. Said he gonna buy a
(29:34):
green whole country, said he gonna buy the Panama, gonna
send the military, might send the military down. Hasn't ruled
out sending the military to take over the Panama Canal,
to go for Mexico's now to go for America?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Is he playing risk?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't know. This boy ain't done nothing but took
over the country, got sworn in, and now he just
claiming shit off emminent domain.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I mean this is yeah. I wonder what people
are thinking now, if anybody bod he has regret yet,
or if they're going to have to wait and see.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I think when eggs don't go down and gas don't
go down, I.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Think that is I can't guarantee that the price is
going to go down on anything.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I think that what's gonna happen is you'll start
seeing the ripple effects of legitimate, regular American suffering under
some of these policies. And when that happens, you just
got you can't yell at them. You gotta hold their
hand and just go let me explain to you why.
Because if somebody's suffering, now you for sure got their
undivided attention. Whereas the last eight years, it's been four
(30:34):
years of Trump's my guy, and then the Democrats wouldn't
help him, and then it was four years of Biden
and Trump supporters going, well, Biden is then Hunter's own crack.
So now this is your dude, He's got enough smart people.
Really scares me about this administration is that you got
Trump standing next to a bunch of billionaires and you
can't and I can't tell who's using who, right, And
(30:55):
if it's the billionaires using him, then God help us.
So the idea idea of figuring out how to connect
with your families and like people that are close to
you that have supported Trump, you can go, ah, but
that's not going to help commit terms. You got it. Like,
I think this last election showed you just how few
(31:16):
people know how government works, and so now you got
to walk and show this is when they passed this policy,
this is why this happened. Okay, now get your ass
out my face. We're not cool, but I want you
to understand this particular policy. And I think that's that's
what we got to look at. The other thing we
got to be sharp about, especially black folks, man is
(31:41):
helping our family members with disinformation, because this shit about
to get real crazy now.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
With Meta now saying that they are not going to
fact check anymore X already doesn't. Can you talk to
us about that?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
A little bit means community notes. Hey, if you say
something crazy, we'll leave it to the other motherfuckers to say, hey,
that was crazy, instead of instead of Facebook just deleting
your post and going, hey you talking crazy, motherfucker, you
can't say that. Other people have to come under that
and say that you're talking crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And you can just those comments.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And we all know how much Americans trust other Americans
in the comments and believe them anything.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
People will quote that as facts.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So even me correcting your weird posts doesn't necessarily mean
that I'm correct. So it's we are set up to
be disinformed for the next four years. And so where
you get your information from it cannot be from one
place you've got you don't trust the media. You do
trust them and trust them. It can't all be podcasts.
(32:42):
I ain't saying it got to be from one of
the MSNBC or US off at CNN. But you gotta
mix a match. You can. If all of your news
is coming from a bunch of motherfuckers on a couch,
or if all your news is coming from too motherfucker's
sitting at a clear desk, you're not fully inform. You
gotta be careful about misconstruing opinions as facts. You gotta
(33:05):
get your I feel like anything that feels factual. It's
two people. That's the most people. That's why, Like the
local news is two motherfuckers. It ain't no eight people
all it ain't right when it's a round table, you know,
it's cross talking is arguing. You don't need five people
with five microphones to tell you facts, right, you need
one or two You talk while I take a simple water,
(33:26):
and then it's my turn to say some news, and
then you take a simple water. Like I think that's
where media has gone where because opinions are profitable. I
understand it. It's engagement, but you got to be far
more intentional in seeking out the truth. And it's not
gonna be easy, and it might not even be free
because half the shit is behind a firewall.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Oh I can't stand it. Every time I'm trying to
look at a great article, like let me look at
the Washington Post or the LA Times, and then it's
matter free. You have to subscribe.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yes, this algorithm up. Yeah, Los Angeles is burning and
some of the events cuation routes on a fucking fucking firewall.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, we do have a website that you can go
to that you can actually see all these for free.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So it's so you have to be informed and you
have to be able to send that to people. Man.
So I mean, you know, I just feel like if
you got if you got relatives that you know only
get their information from one pool, just send them a clip.
Don't send them no full episode. Anybody gonna listen to
a full episode or some ship that they right.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I feel like also though, the other issue I have
is that you can find a clip to support anything
that you think, Like I could send one of my
family members of clip and then they'll send back another
clip from another you know, I'll send them something from CNN,
and then they'll send me something from Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What I found that's worked really well with my family.
I'm not gonna say the podcasters, but if you can
catch a podcaster or that they love, that's a guest
on a podcast that you love, Oh.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That's a great yeah, because that's that's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, yeah, because it's essentially the person that they love
of its taking them on the journey into the other side,
to the other the other part of it. But that's
on you to do the work to actually look and
see what's going on. But at the federal level, I
don't know what we're gonna be, but I know state
and local there's still opportunities to be active and be
(35:17):
a part of programs that helped to affect change where
you live. And I think that's what we got to
like revert into right now.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Now, did you have to deal with congestion pricing to
get here today.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Or no, No I didn't. I'm training all day.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Train now because I feel like it. Somebody put up
this video where it looked like the train was ridiculously
packed after congestion. Is that a true thing?
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I was on the train here and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
It was, But to be fair, that first week of
congestion pricing, it was a lot of snow and it
was like the weather wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Digit yeah, yeah, because I usually will take the train
to work. But because I saw that clip, I was like,
let me drive in until things calm down a little,
because I was like, maybe everybody he's just on the tain.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
What it feels like was it was it better driving? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
That took me the exact same amount of time and
I just had to pay now.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Oh yeah, that's that's that's not gonna fly. That's not
gonna fly for a long ass time. I sold my
when I moved here, I sold my car. That was
the first thing I saw.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh really yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I didn't want a fool.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
See that's why I Kim didn't even know about the
congestion pricing. I was like, I told my car, Yeah, yeah,
nobody wants to have a car. You sold your car
to my producer.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I sold it.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, I sold it.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And you know that congestion pricing too. They're hitting you
for thirteen if you ain't got the little.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
The easy past little Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, so you pay more just for not having that.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
That's how they find a parking in New York in general.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Just you got to parking a lot during the day.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
The light over here is what thirty dollars and that's
like the deal when you get there early. But a
good So you don't even have a car, so that
doesn't affect you have to leave that alone.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I got a bike that no more people be getting.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Hit on the flip side of things. Do you think
sometimes like as you're doing these uh as you're working
on CNN on your show there on, have I got
news for you? Sometimes some of the stories are so ridiculous?
But do you also feel like we're like a joke
to other countries? Because I know sometimes people will say
that they're like America feels like to other people outside
(37:17):
of this country, they're like, what is going on? And
I saw you were in London talking to people, so.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I can say, this is somebody from Alabama. So I'm
prefacing when you leave America other countries talk to you
the way people here talk to me about being from Alabama.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I get that because I grew up in Florida. I
really get that.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And I could never go there because.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
When I lived when I lived in La from Florida,
people always like because everything the Florida man, Florida man,
a guy to go from brook was born in Brooklyn,
but I grew up.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I got that a lot. I could be in Florida.
Yeah that's a great I can do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I mean the Klan ain't out there chasing us own
horses yet we don't see. But you know, it's still
it's still some pockets a decent. But like whether you
want to or not, when you leave America, you become
the damn PR spokesperson for the country immediately. Well, I
just want you to all to note that not all Americans,
(38:22):
and actually Kamala it was not a landslide. Kamala was
actually within four points of the margins. And there's a
lot of people that don't stand up.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We don't have eight dinners, we just have wonner.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I just be like, man, I get on stage when
I'm in London or Canada, somewhere from America. It is
what it is. I want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Let's move on from.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I'm not going to defend this country. I'm here. I
care about I care about Birmingham. I care about Alabama,
you know, so I try to tend to that field
for the most part. But I can't explain this whole country.
All I can do is vote and then and have
my vote remixed by the Electoral College.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
That's it now. You also went viral New Year's Eve
in a very hilarious moments that went so viral, but
it was so true.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
But you know, I wasn't trying, like you know me
enough to know that I wasn't, like you.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Said, some real Look, they offered you something tequila because.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Of down and you make that perfectly clear. And I
feel like most black people understood. There were a couple
of that's not what it was.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
First of all, you're not even a snarky person.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I love a dolomit. But like the thing was, they
were drinks for people. And see it, they was drinking
on New Year's Eve, and and.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
They always drink, that's what they do, right, Well, they
did one year where they wouldn't let them remember, and
it was drinks, and.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So they brought back to drinking. So they they're doing
they passing tequila shots around and everybody drinking out. You
want some liquor and I was like the last black
dude they got drunk on this channel, y'all five, And.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Want to be in there because I ain't been here
but ten episodes. Let's just be real. My relationship with
Seeing It is ten episodes. I'm not gonna get that
familiar that fast and be on acting the food because
then if something goes south, that'd be the clip they
use it. I'd be scared as hell of like any
picture taking to me and you said, and that'd be
your scandal picture. Something crazy, yeah, and that'd be like, no, no,
(40:35):
y'all ain't gonna have no scandal picture on me.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Man, it's white grat I take it to the head.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
But no, I that was It was fun just to
be out there in the years. I've never done it before.
But I'm just I'm trying to be honest. In twenty
twenty five, Toduce five, we tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I love that. But I appreciate you so much for
coming up here. I know I'm gonna be watching Lonely Fly.
I was again and again on Hulu because sometimes you
got to watch it one time, then you watch it
again and different jokes hit, which I love like I
love when that happens, when the first time you're like, oh,
this is my favorite part. Then you watch it again
and you're like, actually this part is now you know
something that I really so thank you, just congratulations because
(41:16):
I love that you're up here. I love what you're
doing on CNN. Sometimes watching the news can be so
overburdening to me, but to be able to still get
information and laugh, that's a real skill. And I love
smart comedians. So I appreciate that. And I know I
came told me he went and saw you when you
were working on this special, so some of the jokes.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
Yeah, it was great. I saw you when I was
the IDA. I saw your city, Honery.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Yeah yeah, so you already know. Yeah, that was like
one of the last runs before I took it up
in DC. Yeah, were streaming on Hulu January seventeenth. Man,
So just show love and I appreciate you all.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
All right, thank you so much. You're coming back right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Okay, good, Well, I have some drinks for you. Okay,
What's up? Its way up at Angela Yee and my
guest host al Qim Wedge is here with me. You know,
stay for interviews, but today Roy Wood Junior is here.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Welcome, thank you and I'm serious, thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Oh no, I'm excited. I was like, is he really coming?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Like I ain't seen you in a minute. It came
good to see you. I feel like this is when
I thought of you. And it's privately life.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
To do with drinks, I bet yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So so so I got a place right and I
got all moved all my liquor into the place. Last
time I think we saw each other, you were hosting
a Facebook comedy show where you were giving young comedians
an opportunity to do their thing, and we was like
one of the judges, yeah, one of the mentors or whatever,
and I think you've gifted us with a bunch of
different liquors.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah this is during the pandemic, so yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You gift us a bunch of nice liquors. And one
of them was a bottle of white grapes of Rock.
And when I moved it to my place, I pull
it out my liquor box and put on a little
liquor shell, and I'm like, do I pull it out
because of puffect or does it not matter now? And
I can still finish?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
What do we do with it?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Was fucking amazing And I don't even know if I
can say that we hear what he got the money?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, it's owned by Diagio also, so let's be it's
not like it was a brand that existed and he
became the face of it and has Okay, yeah, Delion
was his that he created, but Siak did exist before that,
just okay into a year okay.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, but I thought about I started to text you, like,
can I still drink this? And nothing the guilt? Baby?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know, I want to say. And I do appreciate that,
you know, because to me, you're like one of the
greats when it comes to comedy. And I did this
show on Facebook called Mastery of Comedy where I really
wanted to help like up and coming comics kind of
just get together a set that was flawless, right, And
so you were one of the four mentors. I think
it was done out rollings. It was Ada Rodriguez, it
(02:02):
was you, and it was Carlos Miller and for those comedians,
it was like epic for them. But it was also
during the pandemic when nobody was really filming things in person,
no one.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Had money for when one was working.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, and I wanted to put a little bit of
money in people's you know, pocket too, because I know
things like things like that help. And so I do
want to say it was amazing to me because I
was like, you really think we can get him, but
you know, it was a little slow for people.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Doing that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But no, I like, I like running with young comics,
like you know me, like you can vouch for this.
I don't really have a circle. Like no, I knew
what everybody. I know everybody all the time.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Someone here is where everyone always has a nice thing
to say about war with no matter I twelve the country,
Everyone's like.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh yeah, I love war.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, no one's of them like war that nigga on
be fifty dollars like everyone is.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Everyone says tamatics girlfriend, the nicest.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Thing about.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Apologies.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You know you bought up to rock And we were
talking about this earlier because Nikki Glazier she did like
a Diddy joke and people were mad that was it.
At the Golden Globe. Yeah, the Golden globes and that
kind of like she did a great job, but that
but the moment.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Joke, I don't I don't remember that one specifically, but
like it was was it like these people all invited.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
To I think the after party wasn't going to be
so good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
It was like it was a throwing line. It was
such a throwery line. She's like, yeah, that was that
was a line. She's like, the afterparty is not gonna
be as fun. And then she said some other dudes
name folks just want.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To be mad.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, people do want to be mad.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And it's like that wasn't an endorsement of whatever. It
wasn't in disrespect to victim. It's if anything, it's calling
the people in the room complicit. Would be in a
part of all of that wild ship. Right. So No,
she's fine. Nikki is a great comedian man.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And plus, you love a good sex party.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Listen, not yet I got invited to one. I talk
about that in the special I.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Know only Flowers January seventh.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give it all away,
but I will give a shout out uh to the
homie King Noir and his wife Jet said, and jazzmin
I know, I'm gonna just leave it at that. That's
black porn legends.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I know, fine, he is, he knows that I think
that though I'm in his DMS right now being in creep.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I'm sorry. Yeah, i'd be harassing at the men, and
he's a merry man. I don't give a ship.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
You never know, no No.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I did a story with the Day when I was
still at the Daily Show. We did a story on
discriminate race, on racism and the porn industry, and I
chopped it up the King. I chopped it up with
Jazz and they broke that whole situation down for me
and we just became cool and then cool. I would
say to cool enough, like, hey, we do a thing
with some of the couples and come to the thing.
(04:51):
But it really was a beautiful conversation to have with them,
just about the concept of sex parties and what people
look for when you go to one. My is you
with the invite was that they don't tell you who
else is gonna be there. You just got it.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's like, well, that's how sex parties are though, that's
you don't know who's gonna be there.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's fucked up. I can't get like a.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I mean, you don't have to have sex with everyone there.
You have sex with the people you want to have
sex with.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We talked just a little county'll be talking eight and
his wife already married. The game he make three, so
we're only talking five possibles. Two of them gonna be men.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So you can't have his wife.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I wouldn't want to like that feels rude.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Also, you wouldn't if you've seen, if you wait, if
you've seen how King looks no offense to.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You, you don't.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You can't follow.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You ain't following that he is no offense.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But I feel like I feel like you would rather
have sex with a man's wife and he not knowing
that be exciting and just because you could die versus Hey,
man and I have a good time.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Sometimes dangerous fun.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
People absolutely fun.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah. Is that called the cook is when they watch?
That's where you know.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Because that's what isn't he going to be watching?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He's gonna know A little.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Part is not as fun.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
He's saying the fact that you hide in somebody's closet
is the fun part.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
But no, they were, but for what they do and
I'm not knocking anybody that's on that, because at the
end of the day, that's what the special about. I'm
just talking about connection and the fact we're not connected
as people and there's still pockets of people that still
care enough to build community. Even if it is sucking
and fucking for a week.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And have that's a community.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's still community, good community, And so I'll take you
where for it, one at a time. Just the idea though,
of figuring out a way to be connected with people
and just finding people that are into whatever it is
you into and just doing that. I think for too long,
we try too hard to hang on to friends who
no longer serve us because we got roots. So what
(06:52):
have y'all been friends ten fifteen years? If you've grown apart,
you're grown to part and you have to find that
next person or that next group of people that feeds you,
because you got to be running with people that's on
the same stuff that you're on, and if you're not,
you're doing yourself a disservice.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
So that's the title Lonely Flowers we were talking about.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I was wondering what the title I.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Told that came out like I think it's about like
connection and how we're missing different connections also, but you
can explain it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You see a flower by itself, it looks weird like
a rose and concrete, like they say, But when you
put a bunch of flowers together, it's a beautiful bouquet
and they look like they all belong.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, I never thought about that, and I think.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
The society is that like like this flower versus this
whole bouquet like that, that's beautiful. That's like, oh, what's
wrong with your motherfucker?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You look said, but somebody gives you one rose, like
you clearly didn't spend enough money to bring me a
whole dozen, don't you?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Don't you? But that's a woman doll like that? Or
you don't want that single rose from the lady in
the club. It's weird, right, Lady's how they do it
down south of it to a Mexican lady in Houston.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Lady, Well, without giving away too much of the special,
you did touch on a couple of things you of
course touched on, and it was very funny how you
addressed the daily showing your mom.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And that's a true story.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's a true story because here's the thing man.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
When also my mom's name was also Joyce.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh my mom. Ye black people, Florida. I tell you
something about black families, man, Black families know when you're
about to hit the lick because because because what happened,
the way went down, Trevor Trevor Noah resigns, right, and
then they do guest hosts for a year.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, and I'm one.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Of the guest hosts and you know, stuff's moving and
there my name's in the hat.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I said on the air. I was like, worrybo Junia
is the only person I could see, Like, that's a
smooth transition.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Everybody likes. You want to show everyone.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I was like, that's a natural. What's about to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It ain't happened, and that's fine. But what what I
told my mom at the time, we was like we
was parking watching each other. Ain't gonna even lie. I was,
you know, they're supposed to decide on this host in
a couple of weeks. You know, how much left on
your house. That's what I call my mom. I call
my mile. How much left on your house? Like it's time, Joys,
(09:05):
you're finna get your ship paid off. And then I
found out they wasn't they wasn't gonna rock with me
like that. I called my mama back and I'm like, yeah,
you need to go back to work together.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
George put it in two weeks because take it back.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I paid off the Lincoln though I got linking money.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Okay, well that's but I do. But I never want
to take away from the fact that it has to
be hard when people are like we just said, everybody
thought that was it. That's a shoe in I feel,
you know, and that can't be easy for you when
you're also probably thinking, Okay, everyone's saying it, it's a.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Natural, even like people were printing it, like people were
saying it in printing everything.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
But I mean, you know, you're black in this country.
You gotta know it ain't nothing guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's the fact. And so until you have that contract
in front of you signed and.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Be told they shot whole movies if they ain't released, right,
you know what I'm saying. So I didn't seen people
get cast on TV shows and then they get recast
before the show even get released. Until it's on air,
it ain't real. So you know, I'm blessed enough to
have failed enough to not be surprised by anything in
(10:10):
this industry, right, you know? I you know I did
you know how radio is? Radio cutthroat? I got fired.
I found out I got fired on Twitter when I
left Birmingham. I've been at that station ten twelve years.
But that's the game, you know. I ain't mad about it.
I had. I was on a sitcom on TBS. We
had a season four guaranteed on the Handshake. Boy quit
the network the next day. The new dude came in,
(10:32):
canceled everything but Conan O'Brien. So that's the game. And
you literally eating a celebratory stak the night before, just
waiting on your PDF to come through so you can
docu sign. Hey the contracts in click the significant next day. Hey,
sorry about that. It ain't gonna happen. He's changing up
everything so you can look like you in the in
(10:52):
the driver's seat to have something. But I think ultimately,
when Trevor Noah put in his resignation he was still
at the show that whole year where he was still there,
I was like, Shit, what I'm gonna do now? What's
next for me? Maybe I need to figure it out?
And then the more I looked at it, the more
it just seemed like going into an election year. If
(11:13):
there's ever a time to build something else for myself,
leave now, and you know, thankfully got the Saturday Night
jokes on CNN. Now, so what have I got news
for you? That was a blessing to come down. But
I don't think that that's something I could even been
able to receive had I not already taken the leap
away from the Daily Show. Yeah, sometimes you got to
(11:34):
take that step away to get to the.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Next because you get comfortable right in a position, and
so sometimes it is like something has to happen to
kind of push you to say, okay, let me get
out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And you have to approach every job knowing that it
is a lease unless you work for yourself. Whatever job
you have, it is temporary, right even in death, it's temporary.
So sooner or later, my time at this show will conclude.
Do should I leave now and have some control over
(12:08):
how I land?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Or so you wait till they let you go.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You want to get pushed out the plane, you want
to jump out the plane. Sooner or later you leave
in the plane. I chose to jump, and then I
figure i'll have a better sense of how to land.
You know, this Hulu special is a byproduct of that,
because as soon as I left the Daily Show, I
don't know for sure that somebody else is gonna rock
with me and let me host something. The shit we
do in at CNN is literally the only new new
(12:34):
satire show to come out.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm so gladly they announced it because I needed something like.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And God bless them, they let us cut a fool
on Saturday nights. The ratings reflected. I can't talk about
the other six days. I know y'all got a lot
of issues. All I can tell you is Saturday night
at nine o'clock we act in a donkey. But to
go and have the time now to sit and do
stand up on a regular basis. I've sold a book
that's coming out at the end of the year. I've
(13:00):
sold three TV shows. All of this motion happened after
I jumped out the plane, right so to me, the
idea of regretting it or should you have stayed?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And I don't believe in regrets. I mean, you know,
I left the breakfast club to come here and start
my own You understand it. Yeah, And sometimes you do
have to put yourself in different positions. You know. They
always say it's like the thirty three Strategies of war,
kind of put your back up against the wall and
fight your way through it and something amazing can happen.
But I do always try to prepare for if something
(13:31):
doesn't work out, let me make sure I have other things.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Oh, I put eight pots on the stone. Yeah, I
see immediately. It's then I'm working on podcasts to the book.
It's called A Man and MANI fathers. It's about so
my pops died when I was sixteen, and the book
is about the lessons I learned from other men through
my life from then till now. Because you know, I
have a son he's eight. So the idea of what
values am I going to instill in him? Well, where
(13:54):
did I get those values from? And they weren't all
from my dad, you know. So it could be something
that's profound as love and life, and it could be
something as deep as don't snitch and shut your ass up.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Nice. It's gonna be an audio.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, I can read some of the mother Figers.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You haven't just saying that because he can't read and
he wants to do the audio, but.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
He's fair though some audio books, you'll get an audio
book from your favorite celeb, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
I know one that's bad. I won't say on air,
I'll say it off air, but it's beautiful life.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
They have an amazing story to tell. But then they
get him in that booth flavor chopped one.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It is bad.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
It was there.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
But after we air that, I would let y'all know
who's lord.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
You can hear the veins, you can hear him struggling
to read. They can't pronounce the word that was written down.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
What you just say because they won't make people want
to get the No, I'm.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Not gonna no, I'm not gonna say. I don't want that.
The person's famous, don't want that smoke.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I must know. And am I mentioned a book to Achimi?
He's like, is there an audiobook? I'm like, okay, I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
A texted Yeah right, I do.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, So you know, and the podcast, Oh well, that
ain't together yet, but that's the next pot we're putting
on the stove. As soon as we get through this
Hulu promotion and that and that pot, simme it down,
we're gonna take that ship off the stove. We're gonna
put something new on that. So it's all about just
if you look at where media is going, and it's
we the content creators. You know, people like you, and
(15:28):
you like, we have the power. Now you know, it's
not just about solely working for one company. You have
opportunities to build your own networks and empires for yourself
and reach people. And so you know, I want that.
I want that. I want that money too. I want
it all.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And you deserve it. And I feel like I think
once people see this too when I tell you so funny,
Like I said, I just got the screener and I
watched it twice already, and I know when it comes
out on Hulu, I'm gonna end up watching it again.
There's certain parts. What I like to do when I
watch stuff is in my story post a little like
a few seconds, you know, clip of something funny that happens.
I'm gonna do that. I do that when I watch
(16:08):
ninety Day Fiance.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
That's your show, I do.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I love that show.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I haven't watched that one yet.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Please do you watch Love Is Blind?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I watch a little bit of that. I like Naked
and Afraid because.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
They be I know, like that show.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It's like love is Blind, but just no supplies.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
And are they really naked? And afraid?
Speaker 2 (16:29):
They blurred though I don't want you to think I'm
watching it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So sex parties naked in the phrase.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
It's all time. What happened is the drugs, That's all
I am. I'm one addiction away from really making it.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
You get druged at the sex party.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Now, listen, we keep talking about this. When we first
started the conversation, before we even got on the air,
I said to you, I really relate to your special,
like certain things you talked about, and you said, you're
the sex party. I said, no, that is not what
I was talking about, which is crazy. Sorry, I have
a podcast called lip service, but you know I've never
been to a sex party.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
When you when the special, the more I started putting
them interior together. It's just about connection and the fact
that we don't talk and interact no more. And so
you just started looking at where in the world do
we not talk no more than we used to talk?
And the number one spot is retail. Right, you don't
talk no more like the cashier used to be your
one fake ass friend. That's a nice Oh, that's scarf,
(17:30):
it's lift and now that's self checkout. So now you
got to argue with some asshole who mad because you
don't know how to scan stuff. I don't work here, right, And.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Then you have to keep calling them over because it's like,
please call the cashier over to and then they have
to put your code in.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Please roll their eyes like I didn't, I didn't clock in.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't know, I don't know. And then the boxes
they put the QR code next to the barcode. So
the machine scanned the QR and go, you didn't scan
it right, scan it again, or.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
If you don't, put it in the area where the
bag is.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Just think that. But I think the employees have attitudes
because they ain't they're not appreciated by their bosses. So
a lot of it, it's not even their fault. We're
just interacting with people who just in a bad You
just in it as my uncle calling you in a
tight situation. When you're in the tight, ain't no telling
whos gonna stamp on who. That's why everybody cussing out.
These fast food workers you saw in Alabama, they got
(18:26):
they hire prisoners to work fast food I worked. Yeah,
that's why you need to watch your mouth. Yeah, argue
about the baconator.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
People, are you?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
It blows my mind with someone argues about a sandwich
they paid a dollar for.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
It was your show day. Some day it is your
day to get the bad sandwich. And that's just what
it is. You can't get imagine.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I worked at Burric for eight years.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I never worked in what I'm trying to think
of something nowhere, the deep front. No, I did not.
I did a supermarket.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I worked nothing but fast food. That's how I survived.
When you work, I worked were Subway, Eat Fresh, Basking, Robbins, Shoneyes.
That's the southern spot I know. So I know a
group of Okay, Golden Corral was the main lick and
I worked at out Back steakhouse for three days. What
happened that it was too nasty because we was on
(19:16):
the cleaning crew. We were the overnight cleaning crew. So
you come and do dishes and then you do the
deep clean of like the deep friars.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
And the degrees and it was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, I don't know if you have a degrees that
you ain't work in the kitchen. Degrees and it's just
something like that. I wouldn't wish that on nobody.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I did it for yeah, a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's right up there with laying heart hot tars.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
It might make you never want to eat no fried food.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh when I when I quit burri king, I didn't
need a burri king for like three or four years
and then you came back.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yeah, pretty good.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
So I did work at the store, like the supermarket
on campus at school. When I was in college, I
worked at Macy's in retail, Okay, I worked at Lord
and Taylor where else.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I feel like everybody should work fast food or retail.
Retail for a year. Yeah, like some foreign countries make
you serve in the military for a year.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
We all got to do that, so we can appreciate
people who have.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Maybe you shut your ass up when the bacon they
ain't right. So you work. Let me ask you a
question about like retail though retail, do like all the
employees do they be having sex with each other like
they doing fast food?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You know what it is. There's some people that work
there that have been there forever, Like there were people
that worked at Macy's for like thirty years and so
there's some people that are a lot older that are
working there. But then I think I was in college.
I did have a little boyfriend when I worked at
Macy's because we were they bring in like the college
kids to come in for you know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
He worked in Tommy Hill figure and you worked Tommy hard.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
But he got fired because I'm gonna be honest, like
damn it. Everybody got fired for stealing stealing. Yeah, I
still I didn't get caught, But my stealing is different
because I'm a little more. I'm not gonna just like
walk out with some stuff. What I did was I
used to bring stuff to a whole different department to
the register right that was in the store, and had
(21:03):
them ringing up as a return. So now it looks
like I'm ringing some stuff up that I'm actually buying,
but it's really a return. So not only did I
get the product, but I also got a credit.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Oh oh, you was double dippens.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
So I don't think that would work today. And then
I would go and take the credit and shop and
buy other things that I wanted.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Yeah, that's how we got called.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, you was living a dream out there.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I was scamming in college and the cashier. This is
at Dillarts. Shout out to Tyler hassee Mall North Monroe.
We was at Dillard's and she was under charging us
for the stuff, but we had a stolen credit card,
so just charged me full price. Mo fucker, why are
you giving me a discount?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Yeah, a discount.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Because the lick was she worked in Tommy Girls. So
we would just get whatever, and Tommy Girl charge it,
come back to the wait a week, come back to
the store, do the return, and then shop off the
return legit charge. It was like four dollars for dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
He wasn't getting much credit.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
No, she's charging us four dollars.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
And then when you return it, you're just getting you still.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Get the ninety dollars. Okay, okay, yeah, okay, she's just charged.
She would just charge you for say, socks.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, don't try this, Okay, go ahead, this is ninety
I'm sure the game different now.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
There's no way you.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Can tighten up now. But in ninety eight you could
get a ninety dollars sweater for four dollars, bring it
back shop on the ninety. But that's how she got caught,
and so then we got caught and that's why all that,
and that's how I got.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I know, they fired everybody and that I came in
to work with. And the other thing I used to do.
They call it stealing time, so I would actually not
go to work. But there was this guy Boris. He
was like, yeah, he would clock me in.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That ship.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I was. I was a loser at work clocking other
people in.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Thank you, because I was like, I don't want to
I don't want to lose you. People like us couldn't
thry it.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
I was getting bully clocked me and nigga alright five
anything like I.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Was quieting everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh my god, you got to remember to clock everybody
out too.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah, and remember to have me go to lunch, you know,
because we need an hour for lunch. So he had
to clock me out for lunch and then clack me
back in. So he was thank you. Bars.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
We was running credit cards. That was much easy. This
sounds like a lot of words. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I want to ask you this because we talked about
this earlier today. Somebody called in what was it was
it for? Ask ye? She was complaining because her boyfriend
has terrible halotosis and she doesn't know how to talk
they've been again a ten years. It's a recent thing.
She set him up an appointment for the dentist. He's
canceled it three times. She said his breath is so
bad she won't even let him perform oral sex on her. Right.
(23:39):
So this was the conversation. First, I want to hear
your advice. And then I have another question.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Are we sure that her coochie ain't the cause of
the well?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
He ain't been down there? How are you gonna blame her? See,
that's such a man thing to do.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And I'm just saying, the bacteria get up in there
if he floss, like on some real ship though, that
bad breath could be a precursor to diabetes. And yeah, yeah,
like on some real legit internal health issues. It might
not even be brush your teeth. You need to go
get his blood run. Yeah, so you know she needs
(24:15):
to try and get him on some Let's go take
an STD test and then but I don't know. I
ain't no nigga. Ten years, he ain't gonna agree to
blood work. I might have gave you herpees, but I
really want you to check a cholesterol.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Uh, I'm saying because the people would have a stink.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Know what I'm saying. When they do, when they when
they take your blood for like an STD, they can
run it for everything else under the sun, from cancer,
the cholesterol and you know all of that other ship.
So maybe you get him in for some blood. Maybe
play it like a health I'm concerned for your health, right,
that's what we said. That's exactly what. Yes, but just
a fixed show. This is a turn off to me. Okay,
(24:58):
I don't know if you're a big dude, but I
bet you I bet money and diabetes.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right, it could because they said gastro intestinal issues. Well,
the second part of this is I did ask her
if she has a name for her vagina, so she
named her vagina Crystal. And so my question is this
because I feel like do men name their I thought
men name their penis.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
No, that meat like me, that's some South.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I mean meat. Yeah, I don't think dudes named the dicks.
I don't think that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
If you could name it that dick at meat, that's
just weird to have a name and an identity and
a personality.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
That's just also it was weird you name it something
and then it don't live up to what you name
it now you look kind of goofy, or.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
If one of your friends happens to have the same name.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yeah, I think men, I don't know. I ain't never
know no man to do that, Like I ain't ever
on the dude who named his dick and then told
his friends about it. I do think we name the
places where we have set like come step into the office,
so you need to you need to come see me
like a supervisor.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Like you talk about it like that sounds more like
you're playing like a little bit.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
A little bit of role play. But I think that's
more of a you know, yeah, we need, we need
some time, We need some time. I don't know. I
don't even know if men even talk about that. It
is a question like all these women making money off
only fans, right, like a million a month? Two million?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Killing it?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Okay, why don't And maybe this might be.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Different than your work men go crazy?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Do gay men admit to others, admit to their friends
that they're on only fans? As a straight man, I
don't know a single man who is on only fans.
I ain't never had a homeboy go hate fellers. Yeah,
we'll check out defeat to day look at the feet.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I think that is the stigma for only fans straight
man is if a straight man's making money on only fans,
he's making it from gay man.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
No, I'm talking about it's a customer. Somebody is cutomer.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
It's I got what you're saying that that they agree
that they subscribe to other.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I know we've had rappers on here who have said
that they've been disappointed, like what they subscribe to somebody's
and it doesn't live up to.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
The hype order.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, like they.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Said that to you. Yeah, they say that to their
homeboy man. You know who Only fans I don't like,
Like I've never and I'm trying to understand why man
ain't more open about.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
It, because I think that's how straight man, because gay
did to talk about it all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I just think that's how you help to normalize this culture.
Only fans is normal. Like anytime you hear somebody like
admit I've started and only fans because it's not working
out for me a way of like, no.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
People are like to save my home. Young lady from
family matters. She started and she made like almost a
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
In the it's a lot of work. Like people think,
only fans isn't a job, you got it, It's a
lot of work.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I will say this. I could see like starting an
only fans and then people will come on just out
of curiosity, putting nothing on there, and then just go away.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And I'm just saying, God blessed the women. God blessed
women for making their money. You're safe, it's legal. But
I just I don't know, no man who will admit that.
I just I don't know. Maybe I just roll.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Well, maybe you should be the first person to talk
about you don't subscribe.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
I would not. I would not get an only fan.
You can search my phone apps right now.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Nobody subscribed. Don't look at anyone's nobody front.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
You can look through my apps right now.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
What if Okay, let me ask you a question. What if?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
What if you're high school only fans? What you get? ESPN?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Wait? What is the X videos? But I love the
fact that we both still go to media takeout. Yeah
for me to take us gonna come out up here
to a month and do like some of the time, listen.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I am well informed from MSNBC all the way to
media takeout. I gotta know what's going on around the world.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
What do you think about Canada joining the US?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yo? This administration. This is about to be the wildest
first one hundred days. I'm so administration. This boy then
said that he is gonna turn Canada into the fifty
first state, the whole state mine you. Canada got nine
ten provinces, each of them could be their own, twelve states,
the whole state of Canada. Said he gonna buy a
(29:34):
green whole country, said he gonna buy the Panama, gonna
send the military, might send the military down. Hasn't ruled
out sending the military to take over the Panama Canal,
to go for Mexico's now to go for America?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Is he playing risk?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I don't know. This boy ain't done nothing but took
over the country, got sworn in, and now he just
claiming shit off emminent domain.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yeah, I mean this is yeah. I wonder what people
are thinking now, if anybody bod he has regret yet,
or if they're going to have to wait and see.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
I think when eggs don't go down and gas don't
go down, I.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Think that is I can't guarantee that the price is
going to go down on anything.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I think that what's gonna happen is you'll start
seeing the ripple effects of legitimate, regular American suffering under
some of these policies. And when that happens, you just
got you can't yell at them. You gotta hold their
hand and just go let me explain to you why.
Because if somebody's suffering, now you for sure got their
undivided attention. Whereas the last eight years, it's been four
(30:34):
years of Trump's my guy, and then the Democrats wouldn't
help him, and then it was four years of Biden
and Trump supporters going, well, Biden is then Hunter's own crack.
So now this is your dude, He's got enough smart people.
Really scares me about this administration is that you got
Trump standing next to a bunch of billionaires and you
can't and I can't tell who's using who, right, And
(30:55):
if it's the billionaires using him, then God help us.
So the idea idea of figuring out how to connect
with your families and like people that are close to
you that have supported Trump, you can go, ah, but
that's not going to help commit terms. You got it. Like,
I think this last election showed you just how few
(31:16):
people know how government works, and so now you got
to walk and show this is when they passed this policy,
this is why this happened. Okay, now get your ass
out my face. We're not cool, but I want you
to understand this particular policy. And I think that's that's
what we got to look at. The other thing we
got to be sharp about, especially black folks, man is
(31:41):
helping our family members with disinformation, because this shit about
to get real crazy now.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
With Meta now saying that they are not going to
fact check anymore X already doesn't. Can you talk to
us about that?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
A little bit means community notes. Hey, if you say
something crazy, we'll leave it to the other motherfuckers to say, hey,
that was crazy, instead of instead of Facebook just deleting
your post and going, hey you talking crazy, motherfucker, you
can't say that. Other people have to come under that
and say that you're talking crazy.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
And you can just those comments.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
And we all know how much Americans trust other Americans
in the comments and believe them anything.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
People will quote that as facts.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So even me correcting your weird posts doesn't necessarily mean
that I'm correct. So it's we are set up to
be disinformed for the next four years. And so where
you get your information from it cannot be from one
place you've got you don't trust the media. You do
trust them and trust them. It can't all be podcasts.
(32:42):
I ain't saying it got to be from one of
the MSNBC or US off at CNN. But you gotta
mix a match. You can. If all of your news
is coming from a bunch of motherfuckers on a couch,
or if all your news is coming from too motherfucker's
sitting at a clear desk, you're not fully inform. You
gotta be careful about misconstruing opinions as facts. You gotta
(33:05):
get your I feel like anything that feels factual. It's
two people. That's the most people. That's why, Like the
local news is two motherfuckers. It ain't no eight people
all it ain't right when it's a round table, you know,
it's cross talking is arguing. You don't need five people
with five microphones to tell you facts, right, you need
one or two You talk while I take a simple water,
(33:26):
and then it's my turn to say some news, and
then you take a simple water. Like I think that's
where media has gone where because opinions are profitable. I
understand it. It's engagement, but you got to be far
more intentional in seeking out the truth. And it's not
gonna be easy, and it might not even be free
because half the shit is behind a firewall.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Oh I can't stand it. Every time I'm trying to
look at a great article, like let me look at
the Washington Post or the LA Times, and then it's
matter free. You have to subscribe.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yes, this algorithm up. Yeah, Los Angeles is burning and
some of the events cuation routes on a fucking fucking firewall.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, we do have a website that you can go
to that you can actually see all these for free.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
So it's so you have to be informed and you
have to be able to send that to people. Man.
So I mean, you know, I just feel like if
you got if you got relatives that you know only
get their information from one pool, just send them a clip.
Don't send them no full episode. Anybody gonna listen to
a full episode or some ship that they right.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I feel like also though, the other issue I have
is that you can find a clip to support anything
that you think, Like I could send one of my
family members of clip and then they'll send back another
clip from another you know, I'll send them something from CNN,
and then they'll send me something from Fox.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
What I found that's worked really well with my family.
I'm not gonna say the podcasters, but if you can
catch a podcaster or that they love, that's a guest
on a podcast that you love, Oh.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
That's a great yeah, because that's that's a really good point.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, yeah, because it's essentially the person that they love
of its taking them on the journey into the other side,
to the other the other part of it. But that's
on you to do the work to actually look and
see what's going on. But at the federal level, I
don't know what we're gonna be, but I know state
and local there's still opportunities to be active and be
(35:17):
a part of programs that helped to affect change where
you live. And I think that's what we got to
like revert into right now.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Now, did you have to deal with congestion pricing to
get here today.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Or no, No I didn't. I'm training all day.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Train now because I feel like it. Somebody put up
this video where it looked like the train was ridiculously
packed after congestion. Is that a true thing?
Speaker 3 (35:43):
I was on the train here and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
It was, But to be fair, that first week of
congestion pricing, it was a lot of snow and it
was like the weather wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Digit yeah, yeah, because I usually will take the train
to work. But because I saw that clip, I was like,
let me drive in until things calm down a little,
because I was like, maybe everybody he's just on the tain.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
What it feels like was it was it better driving? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
That took me the exact same amount of time and
I just had to pay now.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Oh yeah, that's that's that's not gonna fly. That's not
gonna fly for a long ass time. I sold my
when I moved here, I sold my car. That was
the first thing I saw.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh really yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I didn't want a fool.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
See that's why I Kim didn't even know about the
congestion pricing. I was like, I told my car, Yeah, yeah,
nobody wants to have a car. You sold your car
to my producer.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I sold it.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, I sold it.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And you know that congestion pricing too. They're hitting you
for thirteen if you ain't got the little.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
The easy past little Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, so you pay more just for not having that.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
That's how they find a parking in New York in general.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Just you got to parking a lot during the day.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
It's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
The light over here is what thirty dollars and that's
like the deal when you get there early. But a
good So you don't even have a car, so that
doesn't affect you have to leave that alone.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I got a bike that no more people be getting.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Hit on the flip side of things. Do you think
sometimes like as you're doing these uh as you're working
on CNN on your show there on, have I got
news for you? Sometimes some of the stories are so ridiculous?
But do you also feel like we're like a joke
to other countries? Because I know sometimes people will say
that they're like America feels like to other people outside
(37:17):
of this country, they're like, what is going on? And
I saw you were in London talking to people, so.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
I can say, this is somebody from Alabama. So I'm
prefacing when you leave America other countries talk to you
the way people here talk to me about being from Alabama.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I get that because I grew up in Florida. I
really get that.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And I could never go there because.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
When I lived when I lived in La from Florida,
people always like because everything the Florida man, Florida man,
a guy to go from brook was born in Brooklyn,
but I grew up.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I got that a lot. I could be in Florida.
Yeah that's a great I can do that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
I mean the Klan ain't out there chasing us own
horses yet we don't see. But you know, it's still
it's still some pockets a decent. But like whether you
want to or not, when you leave America, you become
the damn PR spokesperson for the country immediately. Well, I
just want you to all to note that not all Americans,
(38:22):
and actually Kamala it was not a landslide. Kamala was
actually within four points of the margins. And there's a
lot of people that don't stand up.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
We don't have eight dinners, we just have wonner.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
I just be like, man, I get on stage when
I'm in London or Canada, somewhere from America. It is
what it is. I want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Let's move on from.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
I'm not going to defend this country. I'm here. I
care about I care about Birmingham. I care about Alabama,
you know, so I try to tend to that field
for the most part. But I can't explain this whole country.
All I can do is vote and then and have
my vote remixed by the Electoral College.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
That's it now. You also went viral New Year's Eve
in a very hilarious moments that went so viral, but
it was so true.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
But you know, I wasn't trying, like you know me
enough to know that I wasn't, like you.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Said, some real Look, they offered you something tequila because.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
Of down and you make that perfectly clear. And I
feel like most black people understood. There were a couple
of that's not what it was.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
First of all, you're not even a snarky person.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
I love a dolomit. But like the thing was, they
were drinks for people. And see it, they was drinking
on New Year's Eve, and and.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
They always drink, that's what they do, right, Well, they
did one year where they wouldn't let them remember, and
it was drinks, and.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
So they brought back to drinking. So they they're doing
they passing tequila shots around and everybody drinking out. You
want some liquor and I was like the last black
dude they got drunk on this channel, y'all five, And.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Want to be in there because I ain't been here
but ten episodes. Let's just be real. My relationship with
Seeing It is ten episodes. I'm not gonna get that
familiar that fast and be on acting the food because
then if something goes south, that'd be the clip they
use it. I'd be scared as hell of like any
picture taking to me and you said, and that'd be
your scandal picture. Something crazy, yeah, and that'd be like, no, no,
(40:35):
y'all ain't gonna have no scandal picture on me.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Man, it's white grat I take it to the head.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
But no, I that was It was fun just to
be out there in the years. I've never done it before.
But I'm just I'm trying to be honest. In twenty
twenty five, Toduce five, we tell you the truth.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I love that. But I appreciate you so much for
coming up here. I know I'm gonna be watching Lonely Fly.
I was again and again on Hulu because sometimes you
got to watch it one time, then you watch it
again and different jokes hit, which I love like I
love when that happens, when the first time you're like, oh,
this is my favorite part. Then you watch it again
and you're like, actually this part is now you know
something that I really so thank you, just congratulations because
