want to talk to you about the culture. You know
what I'm saying, to get your take on, one of
which is masculinity, because we've been seeing this trend of
grown ass man. You know what I'm saying. He wanted
(02:51):
to one v one each other, like yo, let's race
like recently it was Ashton Hall and I show speed.
You know, as all the guys the bowling facing the
bowl Stoga.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Water Diesel Amphibian, remember battle to remember to get battle toes.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
He's built like a battle to bro like disels.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, he raised the dog remember battle beasts.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
He's building something like that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Was a brologasm.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So Speed, I show Speed is a streamer who he
thought this dude is just like a kid, bro, Like
I'm an I'm an athlete. I'm gonna wash this kid
and he got annihilated.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Bro, he got no.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Dude whose name speed actually is fast?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
He got speed?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, it's not just Yeah's for a reason.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yea because what Ashton didn't know is that I show
speed is freakishly athletic for no reason, constantly doing.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Flips and he flipping from.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But like that's his worldwide appeal. He went to China
and was flipping over ship. Yeah, like went to Australian
Like he flips for people, so.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Like they love it. Yeah right, you gotta be athletic,
yeah to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I don't know why people like to challenge each other
like that, like Kevin Hart blew his whole shit out right.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Yeah, just talking about that right there, bro, Because it's
like Phil, if I had a friend that played in
the NFL, yeah, I would not challenge him for anything athletic.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Why why?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean can't we just need the gentleman's been? What's
they happened to the gentlemen's But you know what I mean,
like if you're really keeping up, you know, you ain't
keeping up with your ship like that, Yeah, racing after
age thirty two, you can't just come running out racing.
If you're not keeping up with your ship, you can
really really hurt yourself just running. And it's it's sad
(04:50):
because they used to be such a gift. He used
to be such an automatic thing. Just take off running. Yeah,
I'm gonna just take off running right now, go ahead, Yeah, over,
you won't be walking for a week if you don't
keep up with your Yeah. So I guess I don't know.
The point is keep up with your ship. But I
don't need Like, what are they trying to prove you
win a race? Ain't no money on them?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah, yeah, nothing will humble you like an injury though.
That's what it is.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And I feel like I feel.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Like bragging rights. That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
We feel invincible.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah, yeah, I was just saying that. It's like eighty
five percent of men think that, like if the pilot
died midflight, they could land.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
It's a willing denial.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But at the same time, there was the dude and
see the leven A that made it out of there.
You know what I'm saying, He ended up jumping out,
you know, just some kind of wave.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
He made it out of it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
So a lot of us just think, if I get
the chance, I'm gonna probably you know, show up to
the plate and I'm smacking a homer, you know what
I'm saying, Like nothing, you're not thinking you're gonna like
hyper extend your foot your knee when you touched first
base trying to slow down.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
You don't think about all of that.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
But that's exactly what I just did in front of
a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
So like, keep up with the ship. Have you hyperented
your need?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Tryna?
Speaker 9 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
But we I went to Kansas City cause a lot
of the Kansas City talent does a fundraiser for the hospital.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
So like m.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Paul Rudd, Yeah, Roberridgold, you know, Heidi Gardener for our show.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
And other folks.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Uh, they all just like been doing this like fund raiser.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You know what I'm saying. It's a weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So like they got a game, they visit the hospital
and then they do a giant fund raiser or whatever
softball game. I'm like, I played softball. You know I've
done it before. Like he ain't nothing, not thinking that
it's been probably twenty five you know what I'm saying,
since I actually was rounding some bases, I've been rounding
nobody's basis. It probably went to the batting cage or something,
you know what I mean. So I hit the first one,
(06:43):
and now you gotta run, cause yeah, I got it run,
but like at the same time, you know, like the
little ankle issues lately, cause I am forty seven or
whatever kind of shit. So I'm tiptoeing, but then I'm
trying to beat the thing, and then at the same
time like almost and then they're just was chaos. And
then by the time I stepped on the bag, I'm
slowing down. Yeah, I like hyper extending my ship. I'm like,
(07:05):
oh damn, I just ran past my whole kneecap and
now I'm limping for the rest of the day and
week coming in. But you know whatever, man, I'm back
to it now, a little rehabbing, a little hamstring working out.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I'm back.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I'll shut out just a daycause, by the way, he's
another one of those Cansas City cats.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I will say, though, it's probably easy to make those
mistakes as you because you say you're forty seven, but
because I grew up with you in my head, we've
been the same age.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I got that same problem. Yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Look in the mirror and I'm like, yeah, get out
to do a hundred jumping jacks right now.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Not the case.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's where it.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Comes from, though, it's like it's like, well, what do
you have to prove?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like to me.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Because I mean, I guess we're just now getting to
these times, you know what I'm saying where it's like
really like, no, you got to really take care of himself.
You gotta really Like I always heard about like Jim
Brown needing to warm up his legs before he can
get out of bed type shit, and I'm like, well
that's for old people, you know what I'm saying, Like
when you're eighty ninety, and it's like, nah, Bro, that
shit kicks in at real, especially after forty, Bro, Like
(08:15):

eight degrees, touching my toes doing this like I'm warking
up your body up like I'm warming up to bro,
Like just just to live, just to go outside and
get in my arm.
Speaker 4 (08:29):

off the walls for.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Forever, you know what I mean, Like it's nothing, Bro.

I jumped over a fence that was this hall the
other day and I was like, well, I used to
do this.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Like.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
People when they like get a gun pulled on them
and they don't really believe it's a real thing happening,
you know what I'm saying, Like, it's yeah.

I'll beat all you motherfuckers in basketball. I'll beat all
your motherfuckers in a race. And I was just like, hey,

I'm saying, Like, this is not gonna end well for you.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Cat Williams race this man in an alleyway in Red Hook,
Brooklyn twice twice because the first time, he's like, y'all
motherfuckers didn't tell me there was a pothole in his
bitch right here.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
He's like, not every time someone tried to come prove something, y'all.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Try to sabotage it.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
We miss frotherfucker again, were running this motherfucker again.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Y'all didn't tell me about this goddamn pothole right here.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So Cat one, like, I got the video on my phone.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I'm just like, that won't stop till he does win.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the masculinity ship about. It wasn't like, yo,
we're gonna race one time. Oh there was about.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Still I'm like, what what are y'all winning? Like, y'all
ain't got ship to do running around in the alley.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
It's it's it's I'll tell you what it is, father
for when you're losing an argument. When you're losing an argument,
you go, you still can't beat me in a race.
Though you're still can't beat me in a race.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Let's hit the alley again.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Hit hit the alley again.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Come on, hit the alley again, Mello, get on the court,
nah like.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
You won.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
And then you leave there, and then you go back
to your world, sitting in your office alone all right,
checking emails. You ain't getting calls from no like, you
ain't getting no wide receiver phone call. We saw you
beat come ol in the alley. We would love you
to come down our organization try out if nothing any
(14:03):
of that lictory. Like speaking of Big Three, y'all saw
Dwight and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Lance going at it yo, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
This was always my my issue with Shock. Like young
Shack used to whoop ass, Old Shack was missing a
lot of punches. You know what I'm saying. I had
as much business as it should to be that big.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Dwight, bro. You can't get this man down.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You towering over this dude, and y'all just spinning each
other around like the tea cups man, Like my man
you are seven feet superman and all that like, and
y'all just you're tousling with this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You you you have to pick up the kids and
do the thing where you spin them around. Their legs
come off the floor. Yeah, that's what they look like
straight up. I was like, this is crazy, but this
is the thing though. The X factor is Lance Steve.
It's from Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Broke, so they're all giants, Like I get it. Like,
it's not like he's fighting some dude that's four foot,
one hundred pounds.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
He fight another.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Big guy, strong legs, all that shit. So you know
he's sitting down on his weight. It's gonna be hard
for you to just throw him around if you not
ready to do that. Dwight Howard who never fights, right,
you know what I'm saying. I'm like, all of a sudden,
he tried to sun him, like he tried to give
him the long arm, get out my face type shit,
and it was like, that's not gonna work every single time,
you know what I'm saying. At some point somebody want
(15:31):
to hook up a tussle and then now you're looking
like and then he fell on his back. Man, you
the tallest one now you're on your back.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And the crazy shit is when you fall into like
a crowd of people turtleshell, it looked crazy.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, yeah, I don't mean to make fun, but like
it's not a good look, Brook.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
It's not a good look because like, once it's out there,
it's out there.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That's what I'm saying. So like you're not ready for that, then,
like why are you even trying to like like disrespect
people and some sort of like dismissive that, Like you
know that's whole shit.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Hey, bro, don't don't dunct the smoke. You know I'm
saying asking for it, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Duct the smoke. You know what I would love to see,
speaking of smoke, I would love to see the unstoppable
force that his I show speed against the immovable object
that is Kat Williams. That stream would never end. They've
got the numbers, they got them.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
They would have the numbers, They got the numbers. Numbers.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
But on the same masculinity. We talked about this before,
there was a woman who left the date because her
date rode a mechanical bull multiple times. Then our very
old uh over there put something else in the and uh.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I'm sorry, our very own.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Put something else in the in the run of show,
that was a dude at a bachi restaurant. They know
how to do like they throw stuff in your mouth
and they do all that kind of stuff. This dude
was getting the double double sake bomb like he was
just like ah and the chef, the chef, you know
how the chef played too much.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
He was he was over his head like.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then but he's finishing when he finishes and down
and just because he's he's one of these hes.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Like yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
That's the end of our date.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Hey, you know what, I'm gonna do it every time.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You don't, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
That's real masculine, you know what I'm saying. Like if
you just that confident in your masculine taking double sockeys
like that, just go back to dinner in the double socket.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like look at your real straight in the eyes.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Like yeah, yeah, it's like it's like Jackie Chan and
the fish nets. You mean, you could wear and do
what you want when nobody could beat your ass, you.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Know what I mean, Like I'm do want the trouble?
Yeah please. Yesterday with Sunday, it was Father's day.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yeah, day, father Day, thank.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You, thank you, Holiday, I got bread. You know what
I'm saying. Think how much time did you actually spend
with your kids?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Like six seven hours?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
It's pretty good?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
All right, all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Did you do a gifts of change with them? Or
they give you the things that they made that are
not that are very poorly made, and you act like
they're very tremendous things.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
They were tremendous things.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Actually, my girls are getting big, so like their cards
are getting so much better, like, oh you get you
there made cards. Their homemade cards are very sweet and
it's just very touching to receive from your children anyway,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
They're not that you give to want to get back
kind of shit, but like we're so used to giving
all the time that we just don't expect it, even
when it's Christmas and like, but I just don't expect it.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
So when they have thought of me, it's touching, you know,
and like watching them express themselves on their little cards
and it's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Man, see this because you're just writing messages. Mine is
just like dear dad, whatever the cards say, you love
love me.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
My kids are five and seven, so they be you know,
the school be making them do.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is the teacher's ha righting.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, there was, and there was. They had you know
the you know, like the turkey for like where they
put the hand and then you like draw around the
hand or you color around the hand. It was like
a blank head and it was a perfect circle, and
so it already looked like me because it was a
circular dome bro. And then Godrick drew me like I
(19:29):
don't shave my head very often. I just have a
hat off because like whatever, but I got no hairline.
He drew the little tiny hairs.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yes, that's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They are quite observant, yeah, I'm saying, so they don't
necessarily express it all the time. So when you see
what they've been observing, it's like, oh, that's how you
see me. Drew me with horns one time. I'm like, yo,
that's how you see because you to go that's what
I you know, I'm always on some old like you know,
sit up straight, like you know, use your napkin, use
(20:05):

discipline side of it.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
A lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So with hor Bro, She's like, you've been telling me
to sit down too much.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
All of that, I can't get the snacks that I want.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I can't do it. I'm like, we got it, we did.
Looking up for your best interest. Interest doesn't ring true
till you have your own kids. You know what I'm saying,
Like you ain't heard nothing your parents said up until
that point.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
That is such a fact. Wow, I live that thing.
I lived that every day. You know what I'm saying,
Like as as a child, talk about my.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Kids card made me emotional because all it's like I said,
the best thing about my dad is and then has
like the colon and he and God just wrote he
takes care of me. And I'm like, I'm like fighting,
I'm like fighting back. It's the masculinity thing, that's what
it is. I'm like, did give you the two socks?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Like anything can make you cry should be your children? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, Like the episode of the Sopranos when his
daughter got mad, they cried because he got he couldn't
watch them drive.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
You know, I.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Mean, it's a touching date. It's stressful man coming out
of jail. He finally got a pass and then he
was trying to see his wife, his little daughter. Just
drive off with his wife and his other kid whatever,
And now the fans want to come and interrupt. Man,
take him back to jail, not just like they just
interrupted being dicks.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
He gotta go to jail now he broke down. Yeah, man, listen,
get it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
The gifted shage thing is serious, man, because like I like,
I don't give to receiv you know what I'm saying.
But like I'm at the stage where you know, uh,
like kids are very honest, like you said, so you know,
I'm getting stuff and I'm trying to be as honest
with them as they are with me, right you know.
So I'm like, you know, my two older boys, it's
they fourteen and twelve. I'm just like, all right, Like
(22:01):
you could put up more effort this man, like your
sisters eight you know what I mean, Like a slide,
you know what I mean. But you you you got
bull heads, you know what I'm saying. So you should
be doing a little bit more thoughtful. You know about
my nine year old wrote me a letter with chat GPT.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Oh my Like, at the same time, you're supposed to
like applaud the fact that they can do that text,
you know, like what do you do?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
That's what they're like polarizing? Damn what they were like,
do you give them my passive phones? Like you don't
want them left behind?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You know what I mean? All that, I'll tell you
what you do?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Return them?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I tried.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I was like, come back, tough man. He was thinking
about you. That's just his reality.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Man.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Everything is done, you know, in a different kind of
way these days, you know what I mean. And it's like,
are you smart for not using the tools? Like if
you building a house, are you smarter for just doing
it the hammer and nails?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Or you smarter using a drill? You know, like what
are you supposed to do? Ship? So hey, I used
to work with a lady, a nice lady in Miss Champion.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
We used to say work smarter, not harder.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
It's like, you can't be mad at him, or can
you like be like, yo, my man, these aren't your words.
This is a computer's words. He's like, yeah, but I
told the computer what to say.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Said.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's just sounds very promoting.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah, in a long format that I ain't got the
time to be doing anyway, because I don't feel all
that ship. As a matter of fact, fuck you, Dad
got to the bottom exactly. I knew it was something something.
Want to talk to you mother, Okay, so let it
all out.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Okay, it will happen about your spot. You got the
double socky pop.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
I got no respect for this man until I see
him raise Cat Williams lose.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Twice.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That was but twice.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
It's like, I'll never forget you tucked your elbows into
your hips.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I never seen you do that before. Why would you
do that?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
From us?
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It was comfortable? You said clocket what yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Lit like like liked like like like yo.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
Speaking of clocking it and machine learning. Uh, I don't
know if you knew this, but the Twitter's native machine
learning software, Rock responds in a a ve e if
you talk to it in a ve e, so it'll
like yeah, it'll like respond like how it was good?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Bro Ye will be like.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Ain't none champ like it'll say ship like that.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
What is a V? Is that like e bonyx?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah? Yeah, pretty much. That's that's Yeah, that's the way
that American African American vernacular English.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
About that feeling about about that letting nobody non black
talk to me like that computer.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
It's just it's it's hard for me to accept. And
I understand, like there's a lot of people that are
grown up with black people and done this and that
and the other. However, the actual reality of when you
go outside versus when I go outside is not going
to be the same because nobody knows who you grew
up around. Everybody's looking at face value, you know what
(25:47):
I'm saying, And like your cover of your book makes
people react this way, my cover makes people react certain people,
whatever kind of ship, you know what I mean. And
that can't be negotiat. It can't be talking, it can't
be discussed, just in fact what I'm saying. So when
you start like going off the rails as far as like,
first of all, I don't even overly speaking slang necessarily anyway,
(26:09):
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
I always speak.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Pretty proper English, you know a lot of the time
because I'm an adult, you know what I'm saying. I'm
out here to be number one. I'm on a mission,
you know, for other generations behind me. So like I
don't have time to just be giving into you know,
certain like predisposed ideologies of you know, who they think
I am based on how I'm dressed.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
So when I hear I'm like, yo, you're trying to
mott like you know what you're trying to say.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You was just talking to him like that Like that.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
It's like when you get in the cab and they
change the radio station.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I'm cool, I'm cool. What you was about put KT
you back on right? Like that was fire. I fuck
with little Susie.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I like, take me in yours. I mean, yeah, that's
a great I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I'm so sorry. Does anybody get a pass? Can you
name a single person that gets a pass?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You have a past? Like, I'm not the end of all,
be all.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It's just how you speak to me and how I
take it, you know what I'm saying, So, like, you
can do whatever you want to, but how I react
to it in the moment. I can't really say that
I'm going to just be assigning passes to anybody necessarily
because it's just how it makes me feel.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I asked because I feel like I feel like Paul
Wall could get away with it. Crazy Wall is like
that for real, bro, I feel like him, Him and
Bubba Sparks.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
I know all of these guys that are like that. Yeah, yeah,
Eminem is like that.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
You know, like there's a lot of cats that like
have grown up in and out, you know, inside the culture,
out next to the coach, whatever it is whatever. Put
all of that aside, and you go in front of
the police, and I go in front of the police.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
That part that's just kind of where it is for
me a vacu.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, basically as a stranger or stranger, you know what
I mean, just individuals like no, like, oh you're im Andy,
You're cool, Like I know, like.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
No, no, no face value.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I'm like, what's going on in this world? Basically, like
it ain't just the police. Travel and see how they
start to treat you, you know what I'm saying, or see
what kind of Like every time I travel lately, I'm like, so,
where's the hip hop club?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
They be like, we don't really have one on I'm like,
what do you mean? They're like, I mean like they
play some oldies at some of the spots or whatever.
But it's not just like a hip hop night. I'm
like that, get the cities, now you get this one.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Like being out on tour or whatever out in the
United States, you asked for where the hip hop is
at and they're like, I don't know if you want
to go down to exactly?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, all that right.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
That part of town.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I'm like I do. I'm from that party. Are comfortable.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I'm very good there.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I know what to do, who to look for, and
probably the most dangerous people is probably the first person
I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Yeah, exactly. And it's also too different dangers. It's like
you might be scared of something that to us is
it's normal. Yeah, I was gonna say that at the
end of that, when you separate the tool, like, yo,
what happens when the police stop you? That's usually when
the performance stops. It's like once real life happens, and
it's like, I could take this costume off. Actually, sir,
(29:33):
I'm a good guy. I'm just with them because.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know you heard me sound like that,
but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Because my God's systemic systemic is bigger than stereotypes.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I'm saying so like it's just way way deeper and
more layered. So when it comes to it, I don't
stereodid be wiped out to the corner and it's just like,
oh no, you've definitely been placed in a certain place
that's like nothing really to be played with where I
find like any sort of like dismissal of that reality.
When you talk about somebody approaching me like speaking slang
(30:07):
like you just like are that as well, that's when
I'm like, nah, I don't dismiss the reality like that.
I'm sorry just for the sake of like I'm not
gonna judge you, but I don't love it. So that
means I'm probably not gonna spend a whole lot of
time around you because it's like whatever this is, like
it's it's it's tougher for me. Basically, I would much
(30:27):
rather you like just nerd it out and straighten up,
you know what I mean, more so than like.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, man, Also, I'm very lazy. It's hard to be
like personas to do like pick it up and drop
it and do all this. I'm like, let me just
because I'm watching this on my knee, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Time to play.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
So speaking of that, because that's a very good entry
point into this. Like SNL, you are performing jokes that
are written for you. Have you ever had a situation
where you've been like hey, man, like.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Like y, it's not your place to be writing this
or like for me type situation or somebody.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah, but they're very aware of that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
They're they're more PC than I am, you know what
I'm saying, Like even so that they are aware of
the tiptoe zones, you know what I'm saying, So they
always be like approaching me with like hey, is this
kind of out of bounds or like do you feel
a certain way like blah blah blah blah. As far
as like their intention and how things might be perceived
kind of things, well, a lot of their intentions really
be pure and like only to mock something that's already happening,
(31:33):
as opposed to like making up things to mock about
people that they've observed and know, like we're not the
first to try to like mock something necessarily, right, We're
only like reactive kind of thing. Yeah, you know, it's
it's a weekly kind of thing, so it's not nightly,
So like the whole week will build up and if
there's a topic, then it's been discussed on all the
different late night shows and stuff like that, and then
by the time we do it, if we even do it,
(31:56):
because those other shows have done it type shit, it'll
be a much more like, well, obviously this is what's
happening as opposed to us like making up shit and
like putting shit on people, like it happens every now
and again, but that's usually not the approach basically.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Right, everything that comes with like just the the just
the culture of the show. Is it because you.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Are so I think it's just generational? They're like, I mean,
it's the culture of the show. But also like the
culture of the show has been behind the scenes, like
especially since probably the Will Ferrell days, Like mm, everybody
bows down to the show kind of thing, you know
what I mean. Everybody is like paying homage to you know,
the legends and the the you know, there's a lot
of appreciation to be there kind of shit. Yeah, you
(32:36):
know in most people's minds, as opposed to like any
sort of like cockiness or like you know, expectation, you
know what I'm saying, Like we all still like fighting
against shit all constantly, you know what I'm saying, And
it's no personal beefs cause it's not. I mean there is,
but like as far the the main objective is to
get shit on the show, right, you know what I'm saying,
(32:57):
as opposed to like pulling anybody else down there that's
doing well, you know what I mean, it's just like
they getting they you know, you can complain about it,
but it's like until you come with something that's resonating
with the people the way they are kind of shit,
you don't really have nothing to say. Kind of shit
your shit as opposed to like whining, you know what
I mean. Like whining is always gonna show you to
exit quick mm more so than actually showing improving.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
So while you're.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Showing improving and things aren't going with then yeah, you
can like voice your opinion. Like I feel like I
could have deserved a little more effort on, you know,
getting that one thing on. But the generations of it now,
like you know, everybody's so young, Like it's just very
conscious generations, you know what I'm saying, So everybody's pretty
much aware of the disrespect lines, if you will.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yeah, on a a lot of different topics. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, and uh, speaking of the like disrespect lines, like
you famously have refused to play black women and you
just advocate for the inclusion of actual black women.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah, cause they had gotten to a point where they
weren't higher and the or they had hired any for
a while. I was just like, you know, it feels
like y'all could be putting more effort in that direction.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
So yeah, do you feel like you had to be
Keenan Thompson to sort of even say that, because I know,
like that industry is very you know, it's very cutthroat.
It's very like you could get you could get booted
for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, Like
even just pissing somebody off, you know what I mean,
pissing off the wrong person you out of a job.
So do you feel like your your advocacy, like you're
(34:30):
you have to be a Ketan Thompson to advocate to
even just to to to put your out, like to
put your neck out like that, Yeah, and be like, hey,
like I'm not doing this, you know what I mean?
And because that's how you end up the long, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
You have to be someone who's like putting in work
for the show at the same time, you can't just
be somebody that's hitting it like that's missing a lot,
you know what I'm saying, and and being like, also
on top of the fact that I'm missing a lot,
I'm going to also set a thing where I'm not
going to do something else. Then y'all think I might
do well, that might be a good thing for the show,
you know what I'm saying. It's like, if there has
(35:11):
to be a balance, it's like, all right, well, that
area where you use the service the show is no
longer like a thing that you want to do, but
you're continuing to be a large representation of the other
good things, you know, going in and out of the
show kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
That's a that's a balance.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
But if it's just like you know, complaining or laid
or like you know, this, that and the other and
being lame when it counts.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
You.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Can't put up a brick everything.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
By the way, by the way, yeah my ride home,
I am not supposed to pay half or y'all got
that whole thing.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
It's like, yeah, yeah, just go home there.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Yeah, you can't be you can't be Tony Snell making
demands like it's just like.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I don't know how much tenure you need to be
able to voice, but like, if you are going to
voice your opinion against you know, something that they were
excited for you to do, then you need to be
offset and that, you know, with other ways to excite
you know what I know, whatever or service to show
that you're working on you know what I mean, Like
you are still an employee at at the same time.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Bringing bringing value to the Like the more value you
bring to something, the more you the more say you
have basically like something like that yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, or like at the same time, you never really know,
you know what I mean, Like if if if that
whole like uh, somebody wants to like rear their ugly
oppression head, you can't really you know, do anything about
that necessarily except for hopefully having people come vouch for
your character, you know, which is why professionalism is very important,
(36:49):
because at some point you might need other people's voices,
you know what I mean, to help you, like clear
a miscommunication you know what I'm saying or whatever. But
at the same time, I don't think you should ever like,
if you feel strongly about it, mute that you know
what I'm saying, like, I think you should always be
able to like express yourself in in a way.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Of victory like like like victory like like like

Come on, it's not speaking of a presidential mind. You
know what I'm saying. We gotta we got things we
want to talk to you about the culture. You know
what I'm saying, to get your take on, one of
which is masculinity, because we've been seeing this trend of
grown ass man. You know what I'm saying. He wanted
(02:51):
to one v one each other, like yo, let's race
like recently it was Ashton Hall and I show speed.
You know, as all the guys the bowling facing the
bowl Stoga.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Water Diesel Amphibian, remember battle to remember to get battle toes.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
He's built like a battle to bro like disels.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah, he raised the dog remember battle beasts.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
He's building something like that.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Was a brologasm.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So Speed, I show Speed is a streamer who he
thought this dude is just like a kid, bro, Like
I'm an I'm an athlete. I'm gonna wash this kid
and he got annihilated.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Bro, he got no.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Dude whose name speed actually is fast?
Speaker 6 (03:44):
He got speed?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, it's not just Yeah's for a reason.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yea because what Ashton didn't know is that I show
speed is freakishly athletic for no reason, constantly doing.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Flips and he flipping from.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
But like that's his worldwide appeal. He went to China
and was flipping over ship. Yeah, like went to Australian
Like he flips for people, so.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Like they love it. Yeah right, you gotta be athletic,
yeah to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I don't know why people like to challenge each other
like that, like Kevin Hart blew his whole shit out right.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Yeah, just talking about that right there, bro, Because it's
like Phil, if I had a friend that played in
the NFL, yeah, I would not challenge him for anything athletic.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Why why?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I mean can't we just need the gentleman's been? What's
they happened to the gentlemen's But you know what I mean,
like if you're really keeping up, you know, you ain't
keeping up with your ship like that, Yeah, racing after
age thirty two, you can't just come running out racing.
If you're not keeping up with your ship, you can
really really hurt yourself just running. And it's it's sad
(04:50):
because they used to be such a gift. He used
to be such an automatic thing. Just take off running. Yeah,
I'm gonna just take off running right now, go ahead, Yeah, over,
you won't be walking for a week if you don't
keep up with your Yeah. So I guess I don't know.
The point is keep up with your ship. But I
don't need Like, what are they trying to prove you
win a race? Ain't no money on them?
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Yeah, yeah, nothing will humble you like an injury though.
That's what it is.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
And I feel like I feel.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Like bragging rights. That's it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
We feel invincible.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah, yeah, I was just saying that. It's like eighty
five percent of men think that, like if the pilot
died midflight, they could land.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
It's a willing denial.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
But at the same time, there was the dude and
see the leven A that made it out of there.
You know what I'm saying, He ended up jumping out,
you know, just some kind of wave.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
He made it out of it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
So a lot of us just think, if I get
the chance, I'm gonna probably you know, show up to
the plate and I'm smacking a homer, you know what
I'm saying, Like nothing, you're not thinking you're gonna like
hyper extend your foot your knee when you touched first
base trying to slow down.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
You don't think about all of that.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
But that's exactly what I just did in front of
a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
So like, keep up with the ship. Have you hyperented
your need?
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Tryna?
Speaker 9 (06:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
But we I went to Kansas City cause a lot
of the Kansas City talent does a fundraiser for the hospital.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
So like m.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Paul Rudd, Yeah, Roberridgold, you know, Heidi Gardener for our show.
Speaker 6 (06:14):
And other folks.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Uh, they all just like been doing this like fund raiser.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
You know what I'm saying. It's a weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
So like they got a game, they visit the hospital
and then they do a giant fund raiser or whatever
softball game. I'm like, I played softball. You know I've
done it before. Like he ain't nothing, not thinking that
it's been probably twenty five you know what I'm saying,
since I actually was rounding some bases, I've been rounding
nobody's basis. It probably went to the batting cage or something,
you know what I mean. So I hit the first one,
(06:43):
and now you gotta run, cause yeah, I got it run,
but like at the same time, you know, like the
little ankle issues lately, cause I am forty seven or
whatever kind of shit. So I'm tiptoeing, but then I'm
trying to beat the thing, and then at the same
time like almost and then they're just was chaos. And
then by the time I stepped on the bag, I'm
slowing down. Yeah, I like hyper extending my ship. I'm like,
(07:05):
oh damn, I just ran past my whole kneecap and
now I'm limping for the rest of the day and
week coming in. But you know whatever, man, I'm back
to it now, a little rehabbing, a little hamstring working out.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
I'm back.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I'll shut out just a daycause, by the way, he's
another one of those Cansas City cats.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I will say, though, it's probably easy to make those
mistakes as you because you say you're forty seven, but
because I grew up with you in my head, we've
been the same age.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I got that same problem. Yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Look in the mirror and I'm like, yeah, get out
to do a hundred jumping jacks right now.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Not the case.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's where it.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Comes from, though, it's like it's like, well, what do
you have to prove?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like to me.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Because I mean, I guess we're just now getting to
these times, you know what I'm saying where it's like
really like, no, you got to really take care of himself.
You gotta really Like I always heard about like Jim
Brown needing to warm up his legs before he can
get out of bed type shit, and I'm like, well
that's for old people, you know what I'm saying, Like
when you're eighty ninety, and it's like, nah, Bro, that
shit kicks in at real, especially after forty, Bro, Like
(08:15):

off the walls for.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Forever, you know what I mean, Like it's nothing, Bro.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I jumped over a fence that was this hall the
other day and I was like, well, I used to
do this.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
Like.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
People when they like get a gun pulled on them
and they don't really believe it's a real thing happening,
you know what I'm saying, Like, it's yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:17):

your feelings. Like as a kid, they they've been doing
that vac seem.
Speaker 6 (10:26):
Like wow, okay, wow, you're so good.
Speaker 5 (10:30):

Hurt yourself.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Doctors is more past that ship man, John, come on chief.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
And the blown over there ridiculous speaking of like people
you know, you know masculinity and guys got men trying
to prove something for no reason. This this fucked me
all the way up. So I do the seven PM
in Brooklyn podcast with Carmelo.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Anthony Williams was the guest. Right, cal is up there.
I'll beat all you motherfuckers in basketball. I'll beat all
your motherfuckers in a race. And I was just like, hey,
you're probably right. I know my limitations, you know what
I mean. And then we brought up the video of
him running at forty and I was like, I'm defending
you because I believe you.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I coach youth football. There's kids on my team that
are your size that run a sub four five forty,
So I believe you. You know what I'm saying. He's like,
I feel like you don't.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
I feel like I'm not challenging.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm not. He took it as a challenge. So now
we wrapped. We don't wrap the show. The show is
a rap. Cat is chilling and kat Is one of
the other hosts, is like, I'll race you because Cat

like red Hook, White People, Beer Garden. This is Carmelo
Anthony's me it's Cat Williams. Cat Williams is security and
(12:14):
Caz is like doing the like hopping around and all this,
and I'm like, my man, we're the same age. This
is not gonna I got self awareness, you know what
I'm saying, Like, this is not gonna end well for you.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Cat Williams race this man in an alleyway in Red Hook,
Brooklyn twice twice because the first time, he's like, y'all
motherfuckers didn't tell me there was a pothole in his
bitch right here.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
He's like, not every time someone tried to come prove something, y'all.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Try to sabotage it.
Speaker 10 (12:43):
We miss frotherfucker again, were running this motherfucker again.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Y'all didn't tell me about this goddamn pothole right here.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
So Cat one, like, I got the video on my phone.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I'm just like, that won't stop till he does win.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the masculinity ship about. It wasn't like, yo,
we're gonna race one time. Oh there was about.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Still I'm like, what what are y'all winning? Like, y'all
ain't got ship to do running around in the alley.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
It's it's it's I'll tell you what it is, father
for when you're losing an argument. When you're losing an argument,
you go, you still can't beat me in a race.
Though you're still can't beat me in a race.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Let's hit the alley again.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Hit hit the alley again.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Come on, hit the alley again, Mello, get on the court,
nah like.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
You won.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
And then you leave there, and then you go back
to your world, sitting in your office alone all right,
checking emails. You ain't getting calls from no like, you
ain't getting no wide receiver phone call. We saw you
beat come ol in the alley. We would love you
to come down our organization try out if nothing any
(14:03):
of that lictory. Like speaking of Big Three, y'all saw
Dwight and.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Lance going at it yo, stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
This was always my my issue with Shock. Like young
Shack used to whoop ass, Old Shack was missing a
lot of punches. You know what I'm saying. I had
as much business as it should to be that big.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Dwight, bro. You can't get this man down.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
You towering over this dude, and y'all just spinning each
other around like the tea cups man, Like my man
you are seven feet superman and all that like, and
y'all just you're tousling with this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You you you have to pick up the kids and
do the thing where you spin them around. Their legs
come off the floor. Yeah, that's what they look like
straight up. I was like, this is crazy, but this
is the thing though. The X factor is Lance Steve.
It's from Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Broke, so they're all giants, Like I get it. Like,
it's not like he's fighting some dude that's four foot,
one hundred pounds.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
He fight another.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Big guy, strong legs, all that shit. So you know
he's sitting down on his weight. It's gonna be hard
for you to just throw him around if you not
ready to do that. Dwight Howard who never fights, right,
you know what I'm saying. I'm like, all of a sudden,
he tried to sun him, like he tried to give
him the long arm, get out my face type shit,
and it was like, that's not gonna work every single time,
you know what I'm saying. At some point somebody want
(15:31):
to hook up a tussle and then now you're looking
like and then he fell on his back. Man, you
the tallest one now you're on your back.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And the crazy shit is when you fall into like
a crowd of people turtleshell, it looked crazy.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, yeah, I don't mean to make fun, but like
it's not a good look, Brook.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
It's not a good look because like, once it's out there,
it's out there.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That's what I'm saying. So like you're not ready for that, then,
like why are you even trying to like like disrespect
people and some sort of like dismissive that, Like you
know that's whole shit.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Hey, bro, don't don't dunct the smoke. You know I'm
saying asking for it, you know.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Duct the smoke. You know what I would love to see,
speaking of smoke, I would love to see the unstoppable
force that his I show speed against the immovable object
that is Kat Williams. That stream would never end. They've
got the numbers, they got them.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
They would have the numbers, They got the numbers. Numbers.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
But on the same masculinity. We talked about this before,
there was a woman who left the date because her
date rode a mechanical bull multiple times. Then our very
old uh over there put something else in the and uh.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
I'm sorry, our very own.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Put something else in the in the run of show,
that was a dude at a bachi restaurant. They know
how to do like they throw stuff in your mouth
and they do all that kind of stuff. This dude
was getting the double double sake bomb like he was
just like ah and the chef, the chef, you know
how the chef played too much.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
He was he was over his head like.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then but he's finishing when he finishes and down
and just because he's he's one of these hes.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Like yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
That's the end of our date.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Hey, you know what, I'm gonna do it every time.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You don't, I don't care.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
That's real masculine, you know what I'm saying. Like if
you just that confident in your masculine taking double sockeys
like that, just go back to dinner in the double socket.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Like look at your real straight in the eyes.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Like yeah, yeah, it's like it's like Jackie Chan and
the fish nets. You mean, you could wear and do
what you want when nobody could beat your ass, you.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Know what I mean, Like I'm do want the trouble?
Yeah please. Yesterday with Sunday, it was Father's day.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Yeah, day, father Day, thank.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
You, thank you, Holiday, I got bread. You know what
I'm saying. Think how much time did you actually spend
with your kids?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Like six seven hours?
Speaker 7 (18:07):
It's pretty good?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
All right, all right, all right?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Did you do a gifts of change with them? Or
they give you the things that they made that are
not that are very poorly made, and you act like
they're very tremendous things.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
They were tremendous things.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Actually, my girls are getting big, so like their cards
are getting so much better, like, oh you get you
there made cards. Their homemade cards are very sweet and
it's just very touching to receive from your children anyway,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
It's like.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
They're not that you give to want to get back
kind of shit, but like we're so used to giving
all the time that we just don't expect it, even
when it's Christmas and like, but I just don't expect it.
Speaker 6 (18:41):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
So when they have thought of me, it's touching, you know,
and like watching them express themselves on their little cards
and it's very sweet.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Man, see this because you're just writing messages. Mine is
just like dear dad, whatever the cards say, you love
love me.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
My kids are five and seven, so they be you know,
the school be making them do.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is the teacher's ha righting.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Yeah, there was, and there was. They had you know
the you know, like the turkey for like where they
put the hand and then you like draw around the
hand or you color around the hand. It was like
a blank head and it was a perfect circle, and
so it already looked like me because it was a
circular dome bro. And then Godrick drew me like I
(19:29):
don't shave my head very often. I just have a
hat off because like whatever, but I got no hairline.
He drew the little tiny hairs.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Yes, that's the other thing.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
They are quite observant, yeah, I'm saying, so they don't
necessarily express it all the time. So when you see
what they've been observing, it's like, oh, that's how you
see me. Drew me with horns one time. I'm like, yo,
that's how you see because you to go that's what
I you know, I'm always on some old like you know,
sit up straight, like you know, use your napkin, use
(20:05):
you for it. Like I'm I'm very like on the
discipline side of it.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
A lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So with hor Bro, She's like, you've been telling me
to sit down too much.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
All of that, I can't get the snacks that I want.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
I can't do it. I'm like, we got it, we did.
Looking up for your best interest. Interest doesn't ring true
till you have your own kids. You know what I'm saying,
Like you ain't heard nothing your parents said up until
that point.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
That is such a fact. Wow, I live that thing.
I lived that every day. You know what I'm saying,
Like as as a child, talk about my.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
Kids card made me emotional because all it's like I said,
the best thing about my dad is and then has
like the colon and he and God just wrote he
takes care of me. And I'm like, I'm like fighting,
I'm like fighting back. It's the masculinity thing, that's what
it is. I'm like, did give you the two socks?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Like anything can make you cry should be your children? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Yeah, yeah, Like the episode of the Sopranos when his
daughter got mad, they cried because he got he couldn't
watch them drive.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
You know, I.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Mean, it's a touching date. It's stressful man coming out
of jail. He finally got a pass and then he
was trying to see his wife, his little daughter. Just
drive off with his wife and his other kid whatever,
And now the fans want to come and interrupt. Man,
take him back to jail, not just like they just
interrupted being dicks.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
He gotta go to jail now he broke down. Yeah, man, listen,
get it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
The gifted shage thing is serious, man, because like I like,
I don't give to receiv you know what I'm saying.
But like I'm at the stage where you know, uh,
like kids are very honest, like you said, so you know,
I'm getting stuff and I'm trying to be as honest
with them as they are with me, right you know.
So I'm like, you know, my two older boys, it's
they fourteen and twelve. I'm just like, all right, Like
(22:01):
you could put up more effort this man, like your
sisters eight you know what I mean, Like a slide,
you know what I mean. But you you you got
bull heads, you know what I'm saying. So you should
be doing a little bit more thoughtful. You know about
my nine year old wrote me a letter with chat GPT.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Oh my Like, at the same time, you're supposed to
like applaud the fact that they can do that text,
you know, like what do you do?
Speaker 4 (22:29):
That's what they're like polarizing? Damn what they were like,
do you give them my passive phones? Like you don't
want them left behind?
Speaker 6 (22:35):
You know what I mean? All that, I'll tell you
what you do?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Return them?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I tried.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
I was like, come back, tough man. He was thinking
about you. That's just his reality.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
Man.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Everything is done, you know, in a different kind of
way these days, you know what I mean. And it's like,
are you smart for not using the tools? Like if
you building a house, are you smarter for just doing
it the hammer and nails?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Or you smarter using a drill? You know, like what
are you supposed to do? Ship? So hey, I used
to work with a lady, a nice lady in Miss Champion.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
We used to say work smarter, not harder.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
It's like, you can't be mad at him, or can
you like be like, yo, my man, these aren't your words.
This is a computer's words. He's like, yeah, but I
told the computer what to say.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
Said.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, it's just sounds very promoting.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Yeah, in a long format that I ain't got the
time to be doing anyway, because I don't feel all
that ship. As a matter of fact, fuck you, Dad
got to the bottom exactly. I knew it was something something.
Want to talk to you mother, Okay, so let it

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Speaking of clocking it and machine learning. Uh, I don't
know if you knew this, but the Twitter's native machine
learning software, Rock responds in a a ve e if
you talk to it in a ve e, so it'll
like yeah, it'll like respond like how it was good?
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Bro Ye will be like.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
Ain't none champ like it'll say ship like that.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
What is a V? Is that like e bonyx?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah? Yeah, pretty much. That's that's Yeah, that's the way
that American African American vernacular English.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
About that feeling about about that letting nobody non black
talk to me like that computer.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
It's just it's it's hard for me to accept. And
I understand, like there's a lot of people that are
grown up with black people and done this and that
and the other. However, the actual reality of when you
go outside versus when I go outside is not going
to be the same because nobody knows who you grew
up around. Everybody's looking at face value, you know what
(25:47):
I'm saying, And like your cover of your book makes
people react this way, my cover makes people react certain people,
whatever kind of ship, you know what I mean. And
that can't be negotiat. It can't be talking, it can't
be discussed, just in fact what I'm saying. So when
you start like going off the rails as far as like,
first of all, I don't even overly speaking slang necessarily anyway,
(26:09):
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
I always speak.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Pretty proper English, you know a lot of the time
because I'm an adult, you know what I'm saying. I'm
out here to be number one. I'm on a mission,
you know, for other generations behind me. So like I
don't have time to just be giving into you know,
certain like predisposed ideologies of you know, who they think
I am based on how I'm dressed.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
So when I hear I'm like, yo, you're trying to
mott like you know what you're trying to say.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
You know what I'm saying, Like, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
You was just talking to him like that Like that.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
It's like when you get in the cab and they
change the radio station.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
I'm cool, I'm cool. What you was about put KT
you back on right? Like that was fire. I fuck
with little Susie.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
I like, take me in yours. I mean, yeah, that's
a great I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
I'm so sorry. Does anybody get a pass? Can you
name a single person that gets a pass?
Speaker 6 (27:14):
You have a past? Like, I'm not the end of all,
be all.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
It's just how you speak to me and how I
take it, you know what I'm saying, So, like, you
can do whatever you want to, but how I react
to it in the moment. I can't really say that
I'm going to just be assigning passes to anybody necessarily
because it's just how it makes me feel.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
I asked because I feel like I feel like Paul
Wall could get away with it. Crazy Wall is like
that for real, bro, I feel like him, Him and
Bubba Sparks.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
I know all of these guys that are like that. Yeah, yeah,
Eminem is like that.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
You know, like there's a lot of cats that like
have grown up in and out, you know, inside the culture,
out next to the coach, whatever it is whatever. Put
all of that aside, and you go in front of
the police, and I go in front of the police.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
That part that's just kind of where it is for
me a vacu.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, basically as a stranger or stranger, you know what
I mean, just individuals like no, like, oh you're im Andy,
You're cool, Like I know, like.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
No, no, no face value.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I'm like, what's going on in this world? Basically, like
it ain't just the police. Travel and see how they
start to treat you, you know what I'm saying, or see
what kind of Like every time I travel lately, I'm like, so,
where's the hip hop club?
Speaker 6 (28:31):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
They be like, we don't really have one on I'm like,
what do you mean? They're like, I mean like they
play some oldies at some of the spots or whatever.
But it's not just like a hip hop night. I'm
like that, get the cities, now you get this one.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Like being out on tour or whatever out in the
United States, you asked for where the hip hop is
at and they're like, I don't know if you want
to go down to exactly?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, all that right.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
That part of town.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I'm like I do. I'm from that party. Are comfortable.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I'm very good there.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
I know what to do, who to look for, and
probably the most dangerous people is probably the first person
I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (29:12):
Yeah, exactly. And it's also too different dangers. It's like
you might be scared of something that to us is
it's normal. Yeah, I was gonna say that at the
end of that, when you separate the tool, like, yo,
what happens when the police stop you? That's usually when
the performance stops. It's like once real life happens, and
it's like, I could take this costume off. Actually, sir,
(29:33):
I'm a good guy. I'm just with them because.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Yeah, yeah, I know you heard me sound like that,
but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Because my God's systemic systemic is bigger than stereotypes.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I'm saying so like it's just way way deeper and
more layered. So when it comes to it, I don't
stereodid be wiped out to the corner and it's just like,
oh no, you've definitely been placed in a certain place
that's like nothing really to be played with where I
find like any sort of like dismissal of that reality.
When you talk about somebody approaching me like speaking slang
(30:07):
like you just like are that as well, that's when
I'm like, nah, I don't dismiss the reality like that.
I'm sorry just for the sake of like I'm not
gonna judge you, but I don't love it. So that
means I'm probably not gonna spend a whole lot of
time around you because it's like whatever this is, like
it's it's it's tougher for me. Basically, I would much
(30:27):
rather you like just nerd it out and straighten up,
you know what I mean, more so than like.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah, man, Also, I'm very lazy. It's hard to be
like personas to do like pick it up and drop
it and do all this. I'm like, let me just
because I'm watching this on my knee, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Time to play.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
So speaking of that, because that's a very good entry
point into this. Like SNL, you are performing jokes that
are written for you. Have you ever had a situation
where you've been like hey, man, like.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Like y, it's not your place to be writing this
or like for me type situation or somebody.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah, but they're very aware of that.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
They're they're more PC than I am, you know what
I'm saying, Like even so that they are aware of
the tiptoe zones, you know what I'm saying, So they
always be like approaching me with like hey, is this
kind of out of bounds or like do you feel
a certain way like blah blah blah blah. As far
as like their intention and how things might be perceived
kind of things, well, a lot of their intentions really
be pure and like only to mock something that's already happening,
(31:33):
as opposed to like making up things to mock about
people that they've observed and know, like we're not the
first to try to like mock something necessarily, right, We're
only like reactive kind of thing. Yeah, you know, it's
it's a weekly kind of thing, so it's not nightly,
So like the whole week will build up and if
there's a topic, then it's been discussed on all the
different late night shows and stuff like that, and then
by the time we do it, if we even do it,
(31:56):
because those other shows have done it type shit, it'll
be a much more like, well, obviously this is what's
happening as opposed to us like making up shit and
like putting shit on people, like it happens every now
and again, but that's usually not the approach basically.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Right, everything that comes with like just the the just
the culture of the show. Is it because you.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
Are so I think it's just generational? They're like, I mean,
it's the culture of the show. But also like the
culture of the show has been behind the scenes, like
especially since probably the Will Ferrell days, Like mm, everybody
bows down to the show kind of thing, you know
what I mean. Everybody is like paying homage to you know,
the legends and the the you know, there's a lot
of appreciation to be there kind of shit. Yeah, you
(32:36):
know in most people's minds, as opposed to like any
sort of like cockiness or like you know, expectation, you
know what I'm saying, Like we all still like fighting
against shit all constantly, you know what I'm saying, And
it's no personal beefs cause it's not. I mean there is,
but like as far the the main objective is to
get shit on the show, right, you know what I'm saying,
(32:57):
as opposed to like pulling anybody else down there that's
doing well, you know what I mean, it's just like
they getting they you know, you can complain about it,
but it's like until you come with something that's resonating
with the people the way they are kind of shit,
you don't really have nothing to say. Kind of shit
your shit as opposed to like whining, you know what
I mean. Like whining is always gonna show you to
exit quick mm more so than actually showing improving.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
So while you're.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Showing improving and things aren't going with then yeah, you
can like voice your opinion. Like I feel like I
could have deserved a little more effort on, you know,
getting that one thing on. But the generations of it now,
like you know, everybody's so young, Like it's just very
conscious generations, you know what I'm saying, So everybody's pretty
much aware of the disrespect lines, if you will.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Yeah, on a a lot of different topics. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, and uh, speaking of the like disrespect lines, like
you famously have refused to play black women and you
just advocate for the inclusion of actual black women.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah, cause they had gotten to a point where they
weren't higher and the or they had hired any for
a while. I was just like, you know, it feels
like y'all could be putting more effort in that direction.
Speaker 6 (34:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
So yeah, do you feel like you had to be
Keenan Thompson to sort of even say that, because I know,
like that industry is very you know, it's very cutthroat.
It's very like you could get you could get booted
for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, Like
even just pissing somebody off, you know what I mean,
pissing off the wrong person you out of a job.
So do you feel like your your advocacy, like you're
(34:30):
you have to be a Ketan Thompson to advocate to
even just to to to put your out, like to
put your neck out like that, Yeah, and be like, hey,
like I'm not doing this, you know what I mean?
And because that's how you end up the long, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
You have to be someone who's like putting in work
for the show at the same time, you can't just
be somebody that's hitting it like that's missing a lot,
you know what I'm saying, and and being like, also
on top of the fact that I'm missing a lot,
I'm going to also set a thing where I'm not
going to do something else. Then y'all think I might
do well, that might be a good thing for the show,
you know what I'm saying. It's like, if there has
(35:11):
to be a balance, it's like, all right, well, that
area where you use the service the show is no
longer like a thing that you want to do, but
you're continuing to be a large representation of the other
good things, you know, going in and out of the
show kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (35:27):
That's a that's a balance.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
But if it's just like you know, complaining or laid
or like you know, this, that and the other and
being lame when it counts.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
You.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Can't put up a brick everything.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
By the way, by the way, yeah my ride home,
I am not supposed to pay half or y'all got
that whole thing.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
It's like, yeah, yeah, just go home there.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Yeah, you can't be you can't be Tony Snell making
demands like it's just like.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I don't know how much tenure you need to be
able to voice, but like, if you are going to
voice your opinion against you know, something that they were
excited for you to do, then you need to be
offset and that, you know, with other ways to excite
you know what I know, whatever or service to show
that you're working on you know what I mean, Like
you are still an employee at at the same time.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Bringing bringing value to the Like the more value you
bring to something, the more you the more say you
have basically like something like that yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yeah, or like at the same time, you never really know,
you know what I mean, Like if if if that
whole like uh, somebody wants to like rear their ugly
oppression head, you can't really you know, do anything about
that necessarily except for hopefully having people come vouch for
your character, you know, which is why professionalism is very important,
(36:49):
because at some point you might need other people's voices,
you know what I mean, to help you, like clear
a miscommunication you know what I'm saying or whatever. But
at the same time, I don't think you should ever like,
if you feel strongly about it, mute that you know
what I'm saying, like, I think you should always be
able to like express yourself in in a way.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Of victory like like like victory like like like
