Deon Cole Part 1

Deon Cole sits down with Shannon Sharpe at Club Shay Shay for a wide-ranging conversation full of wild stories and celebrity encounters. Deon kicks things off by asking Shannon if his infamous Instagram Live video was staged, setting the tone for the comedic and candid interview that follows.

Deon dives into his career highlights, starting with his latest Netflix special and the unforgettable moment when Paul McCartney attended one of his shows and even joined him on stage. Things took a crazy turn when Deon smoked a joint with Paul, which led to what he describes as the worst performance of his comedy career. Deon goes on to share other star-studded experiences of appreciation for his comedy, from visiting the White House and meeting Christian Bale, to encounters with Meryl Streep and Eddie Murphy.

In one of the episode's wildest stories, Deon recalls the time a man rushed the stage during one of his performances and swung at him, only for Deon to punch him back with the microphone still in his hand. Deon lightens the mood by talking about his experiences with weed, hilariously breaking down the difference between smoking with White people and Black people. He even shares how he was once such a terrible drug dealer that he ended up painting a house to settle a debt and how a prostitute gave him money for his first comedy headshots.

Deon reveals why he quit smoking weed for 13 years and reflects on conspiracy theories, police brutality, and his proposed solution for societal issues. He also opens up about masking personal pain with humor, dedicating a special to his late mother in Brooklyn on the one-year anniversary of her passing.

When the conversation turns to dating, Deon doesn’t hold back. He describes the dating scene as a mess, admits that he wouldn’t leave a woman who cheated on him, and hilariously claims all the baddest women are found in health food stores. He uses Halle Berry as an example of how difficult it can be to date someone incredibly famous, and shares his thoughts on the importance of a partner bringing peace rather than money.

Deon gets real about his celebrity dating experiences, including a time when Stevie Wonder stole his girl and made him take a cab home while she stayed with Stevie. Deon jokes that even President Obama knows about Stevie Wonder's reputation for stealing women. He also recalls dating one of Shaquille O'Neal's exes and admits he felt traumatized trying to "fill Shaq’s shoes."

Just the one thing I know about people, once they
made their mind up on something, you're not getting them
off that so me trying to know you can't prove somebody.
How do you prove or disprove something when someone has
already made up their minds.

to like put the food fox on that motherfucker.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
So let me ask you this is there difference? And
you say you haven't smoked weed in thirteen years and
you just smoked a couple of weeks ago with Paul McCartney.
Is there a difference between smoking weed with a black
person smoking weed with a white person?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think white
people can't shut the fuck up. That's when they get
how they start talking.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
You'd be like, dude, I would have never got high
with you. You ruined, broke, They be talking the ass off.
You'd be like, shut the fuck up what you're talking
about right now? You know black folks? You get how
black folk y'all both sit there for two hours and
won't say ship and just be chilling to the high
go down?

Speaker 1 (10:45):
You gonna roll another one.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
But you saw weed right well? You like smoking the
pridec like that crazy? Did you get high off your
own supply? Me?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Was you that just saying? I would cause you know
you can't. You can't smoke weed and sell me.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
This dude had me and my boy Dave, he had
us selling weed for him, and we smoked up all
the weed.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
And this motherfucker made us paint his house. How much
weedd y'all smoked? We smoked a lot, y'all.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
He was he was an ILS drug dealer too. We
had to do it though he never painted it in
my life, but we painted that motherfucker. That motherfucker was
shop too.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
And just gunn us and all that shit. That fuck
would have killed us. So what's your crazy story selling weed?
Because clearly you were very good at it.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
No, I wasn't good at it at all, Like I think, man,
you know what, you know what my boy used to do.
How I even got off into like even trying to
sell the ship. My boy us always come over my house,
right and he'll be like, hey, man, look I got
a sixteenth or whatever.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I don't want to drive with it. Can I leave
it here?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
And I'd be like this, yeah, yeah, you can leave
it here, and he'll leave and I smoked that ship
up and he'll come back two days later and be
like can I get that?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And I'd be like, I have money for you. We
smoked it.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
He goes okay, cool, and then it'd be like I
got another sixteenth? Can I leave it here so I
won't have to drive with it?

Speaker 6 (12:08):
And I was like this, oh yeah, not knowing that
to realize I was customer. Okay, that wasn't I was
looking out.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
For him and Ship. I was like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you can leave that there. Yeah. I was like this,
what am I doing?

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Then I started doing it to motherfuckers and that shit
didn't work out as well.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
They wouldn't pay me and Ship and I was to you,
you were selling weed on credit? Ye on credit?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
I would I would get credit, dude. I was terrible, man.
I remember they tried to I remember selling weed.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I was terrible.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I remember don Juan like, here's a lot of pimps
in Chicago. I remember they tried to give me a
prostitute one time to make money to help me with
my hair shots, like in the comedy business, cause I
ain't have no money for my hairshot, and they gave
me his chicken named Darlene.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
But I done how to. I ain't had the boss
to like Pampa or nothing like that. I would just
tell you yourself. No, I would tell her, you know you.
I mean, I'm figuring your weed. You wasn't selling the
weed like you with you, so you would I would
just tell her.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'd be like, you know, whatever, you can vote, loan
me whatever you can loan me, I'll feel you back.
And she gave me money for my hairshots. And one
of my first comedy hairshots came from her, and uh yeah,
I would like, like, go pick her up, like she
would ask me to pick her up places. I pick
her up and she'd be like, here, put this on

(13:44):
your hair shots and she would just be nice like that.
But I'll be like, nah, I don't want that, and
she was like, nah, I don't want that. I don't
really want this, but but I had to get my
hair shots.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
It's crazy. I mean, once you made it, did you
reach back out to Darling?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I gave her some money. Yeah, I
gave her some money, but I gave it to her
daughter because I didn't see her. I gave her to
her daughter. I gave her the money and stuff to
get back to whatever. But I gave her like what
I give her like two fifty, give it two hundred
fifty dollars and she gave me like fifty for the
head shot. She would give me like ten dollars hit
ten dollars entire government because I had no money.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I was super broke. Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
So you know, we did our little odd jobs in
Chicago selling weed and you know, picking up prostitute lit
the regular stuff.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
You know what made you you say you partake for
the first time in thirteen years with Paul McCartney, What
made you stop smoking weed?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Man?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I was overthinking. And see when I when I stopped smoking.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Weed, we didn't have all these labels had it didn't
have all these clarifications.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
It was just weed. It was just weed. And you
got whatever you got when you got it. It was
if you was sparing noid.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
God damn you was sparing noise, if you was sleepy,
you were sleepy, you ain't known what you got.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
So I would get that. Man. I would overthink so
much mine I'd be.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Like, oh God, and I just like, I just had
to stop, and I just had to go to another
level with stuff, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
I was lazy, wouldn't do nothing.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
It was it was terrible, and so I just I
just quit now I really wanted to start back up,
but I never did because it had so many clarifications
on it. Now now you got if you if you
want to eat, if you want to sleep, if you
have a good time. You know, they have different strengths
for everything, and they didn't have that back in the
day or whatever.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
You know. Well, talking to Cat, Cat said, like when
you like do your job, it's not you're not used
to sleep until like six or seven o'clock in the
afternoon because you don't start working till nine thirty two.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
O'clock at night.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, and do you work until one two in the morning,
you eating and carry it on, that's your normal days,
Like ro I mean, how do you trick your body
to say this is normal when for the last twenty
five thirty years you've been doing something well, But.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
It ain't normal. It ain't no well at all.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Like you just you just and man, one two o'clock
in the morning is when you first get into the club.
To be honest with you, you know, it was a
big transition for me to uh, to go from doing
stand up to like having a job job, like because
I would be going to bed at like five in
the morning, but yeah, you have to trick yourself all
the time.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Man.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
I think a lot of comics drink to smoke to
keep up with that, you know what I mean? Yeah,
because I remember back in the day, I used to wake.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Up at like five o'clock in the afternoon. Yeah, I
was regular, Oh regular hours.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
I go to bed at like six, wake up at five.
That's a good eleven hours.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
But if you, like you said, you were overthinker, and
that like we just added to that overthink It was
like if you paranoid, you're gonna read you like man,
I wonder if they really put man on.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I wanted to, but y'all it used to be like that.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
But for some of my reason, that helped my stand
up really, you know, yeah, because I already was overthinking,
and then when I smoked, I really overthought, and then
when I started to stand up and was smoking, it
was like it was like a match in heaven, you know,
because I always start stand up was like you know.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
People, you know, being silly and goofy.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
I didn't really know stand up was also you know,
just therapeutic and just things that's on your mind or whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
At the time, I didn't know that, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
And then when I found out that I could just
really be thought provoking and be a stand up you know,
I was like, yeah, I'll try it, I'll do it.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Do you believe in conspiracy theories? Do I believe in them?

Speaker 6 (17:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:46):
You might.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
I would overthink that ship though, man, I would break
it down. I did with simplicity with everything.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
I don't care what it is.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
It's simplicity is that if it's the simple liss thing,
if we can break it down to that, then that's
what it is.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
You know.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Like with a lot of wars going on, I just
feel like, why can't they just work that out and
then it's over with. I don't understand why to keep
fighting war. I don't understand that like that, But I
just think that people just sitting down.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And work it out and figure outsol issues.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
But it's not that sound, not that simple. A lot
of these people been fighting for thousands of years. But
why though, It's kind of like you know what it
is sometimes Deanna, like you around somebody, they don't like somebody,
and you don't like that person, for like, why I
don't like that person just because you don't like them.
It's like, just because we've been fighting for a thousand years,
that doesn't mean we can't stop fighting. Yeah, yeah, that

(18:44):
we can't get along. Somebody needs to be able to
break the cycle and say, but you know what, what
are we actually fighting for?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, it's like that's what that's that's that's the simplicity
that I did on an everyday basis, what are we
fighting for? Why are we fighting? Why can't we just
pp have p instead of being right? Let's have peace
over being right and you know, working it out right.
I try to think simple like that, but effective.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Because a lot of times people want to be right
instead of arguing for right right exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
And that's true too, you know, but again simplicity like
police brutality and stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
I looked up.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
You know it's seventy per police in the country that
people that police officers seventy percent are white.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Did you know that, Yeah, seventy percent of them white.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I feel like they should have one black cop and
one white cop in every car because that will help
out the situations as far as like police brutality and
stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Right, But that does that make sense? It makes sense?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
But sometimes man, it's kind of like if you think
about it, It's like an animal. Sometimes you get a
good dog and you get a bad dog, and if
the bad dog bite, sometimes the good dog would join in.
But you don't think that if a police if like
if two white cops pull up power, I don't necessarily
believe it's the black and the white.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
I think it's the power that comes along with being
a police offer.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I get that, But I also think race has something
to do with it too, because if you have a
two white cops and they pull you over, yeah, they're
gonna be on the white cops ship. But if they
got a white cop and a black cop in the car,
I'm quite sure that brother gonna be like like like,
you ain't gonna beaby to go over there and talk
to them like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
saying that all incidents, in all incidents, like, I'm not

(20:24):
saying that.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
I think that might be a little bit too simplicity.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
I understand the power. But there are some black cops
that are you that's white that's a white cops.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, you know people that like everybody, yeah yeah, everybody
ain't no no power trips, know what I'm saying, you
know what I mean, they all are, but they're not
all like that. But I just think the situation would
be better if you had one black cop and one
white cop per car regard you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I'm gona be a sheep. I ain't gonna give you
no chance to be on.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
No power trip, even if you're on the power trip.
If you yes, ma'am, no, ma'am, yes, how you date?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
How many times have you been pulled over?

Speaker 2 (21:00):
You looked in the window and you were like, God, damn,
two white cots man, or you get pulled on, you
go all right?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
They got some brothers, Okay.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Even if police. I just heart better when I see
my heart just start beating fast.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
How soon can I get him tore from his car
to my car back to his car and I'm driving
on my weight, That's all I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
No, no, absolutely, I'm just saying in my in my spirit,
I feel my whole gold is.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
To get home. Yes, yes, at the end of the day, Yes,
whatever they want me to do, I'm to do it.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
But deep down inside, I feel a little better if
I see some brothers get out that mother fu like
I'm like this all right?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Cool. I hope they saw death cham. I hope they
saw they recognize me. I got more of a.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Chance of them knowing me than the white cots. That's
all I'm saying. Was the Paul McCartney when you bomb
that show? Was that the worst you'd ever bomb?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
That was probably in my top five. Everybody bombs when
they started?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, no, this was because I've been smoked in
thirteen years. I did gummies.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
But I ain't like, but why why in that situation
did you did you feel like he was like, Paul, No,
I'm getting ready to do a show, We'll do it afterwards.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Why not take that approach? I didn't think Paul was.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Gonna stay the whole goddamn show, to be honest with you,
I just was like, man, this is a great moment.
I wasn't even thinking about the show like that, and
I felt like, I'm not gonna inhale too much so
I can do my show. So I was like, cool,
But I guess I did the moment. I got caught
up in the moment, but it was it was like

(22:35):
I put it.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Like this, I ain't gonna say I bombed profusely. It
wasn't like that.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
And the people that was in the audience stay lived,
They had a good time. It just wasn't what I
was used to, right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (22:44):
But you know, yeah, I know the performance that you set,
the standard that you set for yourself for Deon Cole,
it wasn't up today. It was not that at all
your special Netflix. Okay, mister, how you feeling about it?

Speaker 1 (22:56):
You like it? Man?

Speaker 2 (22:57):

like a really good ride on this one. You know
the specials I'd done before the first time I did
my co Hearted I mean co Heart is special. They
didn't even have like the top ten or on on
on the on their site. Right, it was just up
and people saw it. When when Charlene's Boy hit, I

(23:21):
really wasn't in the mind frame to do promotions or
really do nothing because of how deep the whole situation
was for me to film that a year later on
the day she passed, but that bothered me, So I
just I just put that out there, and you know,
just to show people that we still got to perform
even under the condition. So you never know what the

(23:43):
comic is going through. Give comic love because he got
to put away his difference. And I sat up there
and did a whole hour in front of y'all, but
you not even knowing that this is the anniversary death
for my mom whatever. So I really wasn't there. This
I was able to like really get back to the funny,
really be like okay, promote and put it out. And
this is man like probably one of my most successful

(24:06):
successful especially that I ever did.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean so far.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
And it's all you've been out like probably like a

what a comic is going through. And although he's making
his audience laugh, yeah, he'd be dying inside.

Speaker 3 (26:01):

Speaker 4 (26:02):
When you you talk about writing Charlotte's Story with your
mom during the time your mom had just the one
ye anniversary of your mom passing, did you enjoy it
knowing that what you were going through and what you
were dealing with. Did you get an opportunity to enjoy it?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Not really, because it's almost was like I was cornered
into doing that. I turned it down. It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
So when you do these specials, right, you found a
city that you that that really really rock with you,
and that's where you go shoot your special right.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
And so.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
During that time, I was I had did a bunch
of cities and I was waiting on Netflix to come
back to me and ask me, I mean, tell me
when they want to shoot. But I had to keep toring,
I keep kept doing dates, and I really didn't have
too many cities left over. I had like a couple
of cities leftover. It was like Chicago, New York. I
think it's a couple a couple other cities right, And

(26:58):
so they was like, man, you should shoot in New York.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
And I was like, well, new York.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I know, I'm from Chicago, but I was like New
York Comics, like you got to be from New York
to shoot New York, you know what I mean, Well
have some kind of affiliation with yeah, exactly. So I
was like I really didn't want to do that too much.
But then they was like, man, all the other venues
are taking up places. And I was like, well, New York, dude,
they fuck with me, you know what I mean. I

(27:25):
just I don't know what part of New York. And
they was like Brooklyn, and I was like, oh shit,
And I was like, yeah, Brooklyn fuck with me. But
I don't know because you don't know what Brooklyn you're
gonna get, you know what I mean. I don't know
if I was gonna get gentrified Brooklyn, big e Brooklyn,
righteous of Brooklyn. You know, I didn't know what I
was gonna get. So when we did it, you know,

(27:45):
everybody came out, you know what I mean. And it
was just I was kind of nervous about about doing it,
and on an anniversary, I just was feeling really, really,
really terrible about doing that, about about shooting it, and
any day that they had open was the day of
that day was that day, And I was just like
I turned it down at first, and then I was like,

(28:07):
my mind kept going, you know, and take this day
and celebrate her and actually changed the name of your
special and dedicated to her because.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
I had a whole nother name, okay, And so.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
At the last moment, I changed its Charlie's Boy and
dedicated the whole thing to her because that was the
date that was available.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
You know, a lot of times, Dean, is that situations.
I always think about what would my grandmother want me
to do in that situation? And she would always say, son, hey,
ain't nothing you can do for me. Now you need
to go take care of what you need to take
care of. And then because I'm still gonna be here,
what would your mom would have said? What do you
think she would have wanted you to do?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I think my mother always just wanted me to be happy.
Like we were so poor in Chicago, Yo, wen't even
have like a refrigerator. We would just put our food
on the window sill. Yeah, because that's what the snow
was right on. Surreal shit that's how we kept our
food colt extension cord from the neighbor's house and we

(29:09):
had a space heater.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
And just so she was I was happy.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
It's not even really knowing that we was poor, but
I was happy. And she always was like, I just
want you to be happy, you know, and you know,
our passion was like and I'm still affected by it,
like every day, you know. But because I'm the only child, Okay,
I know brothers and sisters and that's who.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I've been with my whole entire life, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
But I remember my aunt told me this because I
wasn't eating or doing nothing, you know, and my aunt
was like, well, if you had a chance to go
back here, would you And I was like.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Well yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
She was like, wow, why would you bring up back here?
With war and diseases and all that?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
And this was like during like the She was like,
would you would you bring up back here? And I
just cried, man, and I was like, I it would
be selfish for me to bring her back here. And
I was just like I no, And it killed me

(30:17):
inside to even think like that.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
But I almost felt at peace where I was like yeah,
you know, like yeah, I guess so you know, because
my mother she had she had like diabetes or whatever,
but she had it under control like that. When she passed,
it was out of the clear blue. Out of the
clear blue. She had under control and everything. But yeah,

(30:43):
that really affected me. While I was like, whatuld I
bring her back here if I had the power likeasons?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
But then what, Yeah?

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Am I enough for her to come back to and
deal with the rest of the world and bills and
cars breaking down or finding people and how they feel
and they're am I enough to keep compete with this?
And I just I let it go, and you know,

(31:14):
it's it's it's it's something that I reflect on when
I when I when I miss her, and that helps
you know.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
And so yes, man, how are you not with it?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
It's been some time has passed, you realize that she's
not coming back, You've shot the special, you've moved on,
done some amazing things in your life.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
How you're not dealing with it? I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Uh, it just man, It just depends on what's happening,
Like like anything like good happened to me, I'll be
feeling bad. I mean, I feel sad because I can't
like share share, so.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
I remember when I.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Did The Color Purple. I cried that whole movie. Man,
my mother loved that movie and to getting to be
in that movie.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
I cried the whole time.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Even leaving the set, I cried every day, and people
kept wondering what was wrong with me, and I just
put I couldn't pull it together because I was so sad.
Even at the premiere, I was crying on the red carpet,
like I just I just want her to see these things,

(32:34):
and people I say, you shit, like.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Oh, she's here in spirit, and it's yeah, I get
all that. I get all of that. I want her hair,
I want her next to me.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I want to like lay up under her, you know
what I mean, Like like I always did, you know,
like anytime I went home, you know, even to her
pass and she would lay on her side. Now like
lay up under her, you know what I mean. It's
just one groove right up under how that I would
lay at and everything was okay, everything is okay. And

(33:06):
for that to be gone and it's like, you know,
you search for that groove and you ain't gonna find it.
I don't care how many women you sleep with. I
don't care who you be with never gonna find that
groove and you got to live with it.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
You talked a lot about dating on your special. How's
the dating scene put you on? It is a mess.
It's a mess. It's a mess. Why it's a mess.
It's a mess.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
You just don't know what You don't know what you're
getting or what you're doing. It's like you just I
don't I don't know what's I don't know what to do. Nowadays,
you know, we in the world of you know, people swiping.
You don't if if you don't like what I'm saying,
you don't have to deal with me. You can swipe

(33:59):
and right it's eight nine other guys.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Waiting on you, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's no hustling bustles to be with me. And then
when you get somebody, you don't know what they really
there for. You don't know what they really into you about, Like.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Are you trying to invest time to find out what
they're there for?

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Or you? Well, I just me personally, I rather have
and I was discussing this in my and my special
or whatever is that you know, I just would like
to have like a friend that that's cool and somebody
that I can hang with because if the relationship don't
work out, at least I ain't wasting my time.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
What damn, still gotta invest some time. No, no, I'm
saying that.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I'm saying I'd rather be with somebody that I'm cool with,
that we cool and we kick it and we do
everything together.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
We do everything? Yeah, we do everything together. And so
the more we do that, even the more time I
spend with you get close closer. But how about the
relationship and all the sec some mounds fucking gonna work out?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Then I ain't just leave her and she ain't leave me.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
And we just wasted our time being with each other
trying to work it out, and it didn't work out.
At least we're still cool. We still can't go watch
a movie because that's we can. I'm telling a woman can.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Look. Let me tell you something. A woman can cheat on.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Me, and I probably wouldn't leave her, depending on depending on.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Listen, listen, depending.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
On the value of the woman, would you would you?

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Depending on the value of a woman like and depending
on the situation. I wasn't just up and leave a
woman like that, she like like if she cheated on
me right, And I was like this, and and and
the reason is I got something to do with it.
And if I really deep and dug deep inside felt
like it was something that I had something to do with,
I probably wouldn't just up and leave her like that,

(36:05):
Like I just wouldn't. I would figure out the situation,
figure out how it happened. If I want to be
real petty and the value. Look, the value of this woman.
How about she run a fortune five hundred goddamn company right,
And I'm not gonna let a little dick get between what.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
I preach. That's what the people saying.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
I'm not gonna let it, look me get between us
and our finances and what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Now.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
If you ain't doing ship and you get some dick,
bye bye, motherfucker, I'm out you get you know what
I'm saying, the value of the woman.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
And women do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Like if they had a successful guy or whatever, they're
gonna tolerate a little.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Bit, will they will? What they did with something dead
beat my father? And I'm the same way with women.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
I'm like this, yo, if I'm not if you cheat
on me and and you got a five hundred company,
I'll just be like, just don't don't do that.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
I think there's some truth to what you're saying. It
used to be a time where women would only have
a sexual relationship if they felt something for the guy.
In order for them to step outside of a relationship
that they're in, they really had to feel something for
that guy. If they're married, I don't care if they're
a fiance or whatever the case may be. But in

(37:29):
today's these women have a lot of the mindset like
a guy. They'll speaking with a guy and think nothing
about that guy, and to speak what that guy they have.
They've adopted a man's mindset because they see, well, man's
doing it, why can't I do it?

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Absolutely? And who says they can't? They saw that For
what you're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
You're gonna let your emotions keep you broke, because that's
what you could do, your emotions that keep you broke
out here, bro.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
What's what's her job in the fortune five hundred company?
What's her job?

Speaker 5 (37:58):
Is she the CEO, the CFO?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
She the ce O of this boy as she is
the top dog. Don't do it again, That's what I'm
gonna tell her.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
You know that hurts you boy, you want them? You
know that hurt, that hurt, that hurt right there? Now,
what blessed you?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
Where do you think the best place to meet women?
The GM, the grocery store, church, the gym, man, the last.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Place should be the gym. No, not the gym, none
of that. I'm gonna tell you where where all the
baddies at?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Where? Healthful stores? Man? No boosi women? I can't afford them. No, no,
you you just ain't you. You ain't working, you see you?
You using?

Speaker 2 (38:46):
You walking in there, y'all all walking in there, the same,
y'all all doing this. And I'm walking in there like this,
and I'm chilling, and I man, I go on that
motherfucking be like this, what's calories? And they'll be like what, oh,
but come on, come on, Dion, you gotta act like
you don't know, and then they come help you. So

(39:09):
you're going into my oh what is black seed? I'll
be like this, what's black seed? And they'd be like this, Oh,
let me tell you yeah, And I'll be like, man,
you look at me.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I'm fraid.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
I'm just trying to get my you know, oh, I
got I got what you need? See it simplicity. How
you gotta use man, you gotta.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Use your mind. You know.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I had to joke about this a long time ago. Now,
I ain't trying to do material or whatever, but I'm
telling you the factory stuff.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
I remember.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I used to go to a grocery store, look in
a woman's cart, see what she got in there, think
about what she needs, and then post up in the
aisle and wait for her to come get it.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
What else good with them?

Speaker 2 (39:48):
I will walk by, like she got hot dogs, she
gonna need buns, and I'll go to the bond section
and just that and the other and I look for buns,
and then she'll come get the buns, and I'll be like, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, I.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
See you need some body. So where are you on
celebrity dating? Would you date a celebrity man?

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I went out with a couple celebrity women, and it's
so weird because they're so beautiful and so attractive and
so talented. And I'm not saying all of them. I'm
not saying all of them at all, but a few
of them are so insecure.

Speaker 1 (40:34):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
It's like weird, like how they how they are, or
if it's not that the world is at their fingertips and.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
You need to kind of we're all in line with that.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
Have you witnessed that before? It's weird, you know what
I mean? Because it's like we do the same thing,
you know what I mean? Why should I pick out
your eminem's and ship out of your bowl?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Like you know? It's weird.

Speaker 2 (41:01):
Plus not only that, I just don't think people don't
know how to love you, you know what I mean.
They don't never ask you how to be loved. They
love you, how they want to love you, how they
know the love and so therefore it's a conversation that
you have to have. You have to ask a person
how do you like to be loved? How would you
like to be treated? And then go from there. I
think I think that that's a conversation that must be had,

(41:25):
and don't nobody never have it? You know, somebody give
you a bunch of flowers, and if a girl brought
you some clothes, you'll be like this, I don't want
that ship but.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
You don't want you can get whatever the fuck you wants.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Yes, I think the thing is like for a lot
of women that that that are that make a lot
of money or the celebrity or have money. It's it's
like the affirmation they need constantly, like maybe you're so beautiful,
you're amazing. It's like it's almost like I need to
be like a pep rally, like I also have to
just constantly like build them up, like.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Babe, do you realize you're beautiful? Baddest? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Dude on the rear, you'd be like you are the
baddest moll fugger walking, Like what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Why do you Why do I have to make you
feel like that?

Speaker 5 (42:15):
You know why?

Speaker 2 (42:16):
Because of what they used to They used to going
out the house. Every day they wake up, they got
to say thank you.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Do you understand that? That's that's a that's what being
fine is a mentality, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Every day you wake up, you got to say thank you,
oh thank you, thank you, oh thank you, thank you
every goddamn day. And the majority of your life you've
been lied to, at least seventy percent of your life
because you fine, you never really get the truth because everybody.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Wants something from you.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Correct And so that mentality is something that you have
to deal with when you meet the fine one and
they never gonna really admit it.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
But they you are treated differently. They are and then
when you tell them, they don't believe it, like.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
They don't believe it, and it's like, no, I'm telling
you the truth, Like did they lie under you?

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Like they've been lying to you? Women and men and
and so it's a it's a it's a mindset, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
But but I tell women all the time, though I
tell men this too, Like for every woman you show me,
I'll show you a motherfucker that didn't want her.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah, somebody didn't want her, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Holly Berry had much respect to Holly, but she she
had a lot of guys that she went out with
and she did fine.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
This motherfucker walking one of them, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (43:36):
What what is it?

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah? Is it the beauty? It can be to be
it's more than that. Not So what is it? Then? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (43:42):
See I remember telling I told her a young lady
one time, I said, you wanted the findest, most beautiful
women particulate of me. She got a master's degree. I mean,
she had everything I'm talking about. She dropped their gorgeous
and I told her this and she looked me dead
in my eye. She said, I know a lot when
I hear it.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Wow, because of what she used to y'all. I was like,
I don't I didn't know. I don't know where to go,
and I don't know where to go after that? Like she.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
What did you say earlier? When a person mind is
made up, made up, it ain't nothing you can do.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
I think the thing is that sometimes you get so
used to people telling you something and you feel like
you feel like they're telling you that to get something,
extract something out of you. Yeah, that you don't realize
that when someone is playing paying you a genuine compliment,
you think it's a lie because they want something from
But it is true.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
I did want something.

Speaker 5 (44:36):
But look, it's just about.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
You.

Speaker 1 (44:47):
But look, how do you navigate that? It's hard? How
it's hard.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
And that's why I said, like being fine is almost
like a gift and the curse it is for a
lot of women out here, Like it's it's something that
they have to deal with on an everyday basis. That's
kind of like, you know, wow, like and and and
you have to understand that dealing with her, you know,
you can't.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I think the best that the firewoman can do is
just choose what mess she want to be in and
go from there the best mess. Choose the best mess.
What's the best way to get out? Have you ever
gone on a bad date? Yeah? I been on? What's
the best way to get out of it?

I'm not leaving that there.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Man. Motherfuckers are ruthless out here.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
And so when you when you run into these type
of situations, it makes you kind of numb to meeting people.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
You're like, all right, what you about to bring to
the table? What you what you what you got to say?
What you got going on?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
And you know, and I ain't asking for a lot
to bring to the table. Just bring something other than
your appetite.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
Look, and that's what I'm saying. Look, I tell I
tell the woman all day long, if you if you
bring me peace, that's just as good as money. Yeah, man,
because y'all can't find that ship. No, I can't find peace.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
Peace like you give me that.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Man.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Man, we we good. Just be cool man and just
you know, understand the situation, read the room, and we good.
You know more.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
The more open mind that you are, you know, the
better we are. You know what I mean, and and
and and and I play my position, you play your position,
and man.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
Were good, you know. But a lot of women don't
really see shit like that sometimes, you know, And so
what do you do? Where's a good place to go
on the first date? And how much?

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Because you know, there's this thing like where should you
take a woman on the first day? How much you
should spend on the first day? Because now you know,
women thinking you we ain't no like build up to
five star.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
We start at five stars. It ain't no building up. Okay.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
It used to be saying, you know, I've been fifty
seventy five, maybe one hundred. They're like, I'm talking about
five I look, I need to see food tower with lobster.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Clap, you know, clause and you know all that all that.
I'm like, what damn out the gate? But if we
if we start that, where do we go? You don't
don't nowhere but down? That's what they don't think about.
You go nowhere but down.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
And that's why a lot of this shit don't work out,
and motherfuckers go broke because they trying to out do
what they did.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
Fire.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
I'm not doing noting.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
I'm not doing that. I'm not even going out. I'm
not gonna be seen with you until I get to
know you.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
Really. I'm not just going out with no stranger and
then be seen with this person. Man. I did that before.
One day I was up with this girl, just just

go to a concert or whatever, grab my people. I
won't even tell them. I just like, get dressed, and

like ask me and shit, you know, yeah I saw.

Speaker 4 (55:10):
That you said you don't like women that are good
in the bedroom because you fall in love.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Like good in the barrier. Yeah, I don't like good
sex like that. No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
I know because and I said this before, and my
special when a woman is too amazing, I can't help
but to think about all the practice she had. Okay,
but now you playing the game, I know I be
like this. I just want to see what we can
do together. I mean you might be looking up a discauce.
I'm like, damn, I want to be like to play
with Tom Brady.

Speaker 5 (55:42):
Now you got Tom Brady, you don't have to want
I like, like, I like the mother who know.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
What she's doing. But I feel like getting to know
each other while we doing that is is the turn
on for me.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Not let me show you what work. I don't won't
let me show you what because me I'll be like
this that might not work for me. I'll be like, yeah,
oh well, don't we just feel each other album and
see what worked for each other.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
It's different, it's different. We grew up what we grew
up and what women were doing and what it is now. Yeah,
it's totally different. Now.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
It's like, this is here, let me give it to you, like, yo,
wait a minute. Yes, And that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
That's how I am. I'm like, wait to wait a
minute now. I ain't like that.

Speaker 5 (56:34):
I'm like, come on, I like, come onferent.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
It's a different time.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
Look, I think I'm a little older than you, Dion,
But and I remember, let being a teenager and what
women would do then, and then in my twenties and
when the thirties and my fifties and what.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
It's a whole different ball game.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
It's so bizarre if somebody would have told me this
when I was a teenager, that it would.

Speaker 1 (57:04):
Go to this y'all.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
But you know what, social media has a lot to
do with that as well. It's just it's they have
to I think, And I could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Don't.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
Don't crucify me. But I think they have to be
like that because there's so many options. A mag can
go on Instagram or swipe or do whatever, and yo,
he can have somebody like that.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I remember this one girl told me.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
This guy used to date she married her guy, and
I said, how did you pull him? She was like, man,
I fucked my way to the top. And she was like,
I meant that shit.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
She said, I was.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Fucking anytime he wanted to whatever he wanted to do,
I do that to the point where he was like, man,
I ain't leaving you. She was like, I literally fucked
my way to the top to be to get out.
And that's what a lot of women feel feel like
they have to do.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
It's not it's.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Like women wait to be like and man are also
the problem, you know what I mean? They out here
so disrespectful with the ship that a lot of women
I used to that, you know what I mean. With
somebody like me and you walk up charismatic as fuck,
we might look like lanes.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
I've been called a lane, you know what I mean?
That is simple?

Speaker 2 (58:17):
Yeah, Like because you're being charismatic about it, you know,
I've turned down filacio from a woman and she thought
I was gay because I ain't want it.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
And I'm like this, nah, like did you do that

up right now because people get all your business and
they'll tear that ship up. But don't nobody want to
see you happy. Nobody want to see you happy. So
I display that you know what I mean, It's like,
we don't need to do that ship. And people who
do that, that's fine or whatever, teach his own whatever.

(01:02:20):
But I just feel as though that motherfuckers is gone.
Try to destroy that ship and and get all in
her air or get in my air about her.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
You know what I mean. Well, I'm like, I'd rather
keep it real light, we stay little, you know what
I mean, because that's how I am. I believe it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
If you date publicly, you got to break up publicly.
If you dat in private, you can break them break up.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
In private, and your problems don't have to be everybody problems.
Now I'm looking at like j Lo and Ben and
all that that that should be nobody's business, nobody's business.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
But if you go out there, out there ring and
the gowns and all that ship, then yeah, you got
that coming.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
And then you can't ask for privacy when you're giving
everybody public display.

Speaker 2 (01:03:09):

repeatedly do it. Yeah, you should learn from the first episode,
you know what I mean, first time that happened, but.
