Tranquil, that's it. That accent was decent. He speaks French. My fucking god, he said one word in French. Yo, yo, not calling a gang, not ever again.

Starting point is 00:01:29 Tais-toi, putain. Tais-toi. Tais-toi. Tais-toi, putain. He got the fucking... He got the fucking... Putain. Like soup coming out your mouth.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I feel food, putain. Let's go. All right, if anybody's still listening, this is the Flavor 2 Podcast. Your boy, Shultz. Akash is doing Rogan right now. So by the time this comes out, you will be watching, listening to him on Rogan. But I call my boys and ask them to pull up.

Starting point is 00:02:31 uh well maybe you might speak french also because you're haitian uh yeah sure a little bit there's a lot no it's more because i'm i'm born in canada yeah in montreal yeah specifically specifically because i know a lot of my cousins don't speak french they don't they're haitian so yeah they speak real but they can't speak french we're gonna get to this machete story in a little bit we're gonna get to the machete story in a little bit okay preach has an amazing machete story that i've heard like from multiple people about you like i'll just be talking about you guys and then i'm like oh dude you gotta you gotta have him tell you the machete story and I'll be
Starting point is 00:03:07 like what he goes oh yeah there's a crazy machete story so we're gonna get to the machete story the more you smile the more fucked up I know he literally sat down he literally sat down I've never heard this question asked once we've had a lot of guests on this podcast he sat down He looked to the back of our set. He goes, where are the machetes from? Where are they from? Did you want a name? Like the cigars?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Was there a good place where the machetes were from? What's the best year? It depends. It depends of the grain of the... No, I don't know. It depends of what you use them for. What do you use them for, Preach? You could cut grass in sugar canes, I guess.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Okay. I just want to say that sugar canes have the same consistency as bones. All right, moving right along. Yay! Have you cut someone's bones with a machete, Preach? Okay, when there's cameras turned on we call that evidence i'm not gonna go there i haven't i haven't you sure i haven't 100 yet this is not over though you're the scariest friendly guy i've ever met in my entire life
Starting point is 00:04:17 even you're smiling right now i'm fucking terrified remove the machetes uh okay let's start it up roganan, thoughts, boys? This is heavy. Now, I know it looks like we just got as many black people in this room as we possibly could in order to have this discussion, but tell the people you guys were booked here a month ago to come here. Facts. 100%.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And also, when I walked into the studio, it was just white people. Say again? I appreciate that we waited for Alex. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what it is? Yeah, let's go. Let's go. It's because white people are on time.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. Okay, maybe there's something over there. The timing of it is facts for February. They pulled up them old clips just in time for History Month. Yeah. Shout out to them. You know, when some shit is calculated, when it feels calculated, it feels calculated.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I don't know. Do you guys think that's what it is to me it's pretty obvious but i'm curious when you would if you've never watched the podcast and you've never seen the clips where they've been pulled from yeah i you would 100 think he's one of the worst people undoubtedly right i've been watching the podcast for what 13 12 years now so i'd even see the original planet of the worst people. Undoubtedly, right? I've been watching the podcast for what, 13, 12 years now? So I'd even see the original Planet of the Apes clip when it first, like when it was out, right? Like that's old,
Starting point is 00:05:30 that you're talking about. That's when he had like the three man set up. It looks terrible, right? Decade ago, yeah. But that's when podcast wasn't taking off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:37 So do I think it's calculated? Undoubtedly. Just by the way they cut it up. Some of the cuts were nefarious. Like even when he's talking about like, yo, the word has a lot of meaning. He would say the word instead of saying the n-word right are we gonna act are we gonna sit here and act like somebody just discussing a difficult topic is the same as going up to somebody saying hey you're it you know i mean right right right i
Starting point is 00:05:57 think we all there's a huge difference if i'm going to history class and he's like the word right in a history context well i wouldn't look at him like he said the word how dare this right we all know there's a difference and anybody who's reasonable knows so when they edit that and they cut it and they do a super cut like that i can't help but look at you funny right just by the way the video came out yeah right right yeah that makes sense like are you saying there's a difference between calling somebody that and then saying the word in a discussion difference we say yo you're a bitch and calling somebody that and then saying the word in a discussion? There's a difference between saying, yo, you're a bitch and me saying, man, listen, the way the word bitch has been used throughout history. There's a difference between those two things.
Starting point is 00:06:31 You're being offensive just because you said the word. Technically, that's what it is. But that's what we're at now. And I believe that there was a switch. Can we just stop two seconds? Let's agree that there's been a switch in the past two years or three there's been a switch of how we handle things right with that word that word was everywhere now we handled it and everything and stuff same thing that happened with that's the black face in canada but that
Starting point is 00:06:58 that's another situation but there's been a switch where people get really riled up. So that switch happened within three years. But you're going to take a clip from way before we acted like that. So it's really funny how I'm looking at the situation as like you're taking something from, let's say, 10 years ago. But you're judging it with the eyes of how we think now. Not taking into consideration that there's been a switch in the past three or five years. Not just five years, even with the trans stuff and everything. There's been a switch.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Right, right, right. If you take something from 15 or 10 years ago and judging it at the eyes of today, I feel like it's a bit disingenuous. Let's put everything in context and we have to put everything in context with the time that it's been watched in. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Al, what do you think? I agree with that. This version, to me, it's like when people are going back on old tweets and trying to cancel people. So now that everybody wiped their Twitter, now they don't know what YouTube. Oh, shit. Every day I go on my Facebook
Starting point is 00:08:04 and I remove my memes that i put before because facebook you've killed multiple people it's not even a question okay god but no but that's what it is it's like they bring back some like i got some some strikes on facebook because something i posted on in 2012 and i'm right you didn't catch it in 2012 when i posted yeah it's probably changed over time too so to judge backwards is so nonsensical but the platform won't take that on themselves they don't say they don't want it to be their liability so they put it on you to go review everything you've ever done is so nonsensical but the platform won't take that on themselves they don't say they don't want
Starting point is 00:08:45 it to be their liability so they put it on you to go review everything you've ever done with the new rules that come out but let's keep it a stack who the fuck is reading terms of service right everybody just scrolls down hits accept you know i mean when you sign up for anything i don't think anybody's ever read terms of service in the whole life yeah no so i was just like i and you know what i can't stand i don't know if you felt the same way when i saw all those black celebrities whether it's india are we are all them on the page being like yeah go queen fuck rogan i can't believe i get upset because i'm like i hate the way sometimes black folks should be so manipulated into whatever agenda somebody else has to use like the racism term to bring down like if spotify or whoever's got problems misinformation want to deal
Starting point is 00:09:24 with that fine but don't be trying to rope in like he's a misogynist oh he's a racist uh he's a trans they always go through the same yeah to try to get you yeah and then i just can't stand it with black celebrities just jump on so readily for something they don't know shit about yeah i understand the knee-jerk reaction right because if it's something that you've experienced it's painful and you're not familiar with that person, and like you said earlier, you just see the video, the knee-jerk reaction is like, nah, fuck this, this is crazy if you don't know that person. But I think that there's two discussions happening, and there's a little confusion. One is when people like myself are out here defending Rogan. Now, that's my guy.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I just defend my friends. You don't even have to ask me why. I know this person. Simple as that. If Al does some fucked up shit, Al didn't do nothing. Yeah. You don't care if they ask me why. I know this person. Simple as that. If Al does some fucked up shit, Al didn't do nothing. Yeah. You don't care if they hit someone
Starting point is 00:10:08 with a machete. Who cares? If you kill someone with a machete and you know you've also chopped down sugar cane and you're chopping through bone, you're like, oh, is this sugar cane?
Starting point is 00:10:15 If you're that type of person, it doesn't matter. You're my guy. Who cares? Yes, you can trust me because I know what you do with a machete. We have to trust you, Preacher. We have to trust you, preacher.
Starting point is 00:10:26 We have to trust you. And there's no police here. If there was police, I'm like, he was the guy. But you're not walking no sugar cane field with him, are you? Fuck no. Let's give it a stand. I want to show you my property in Port-au-Prince. I can see it.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You got Google Maps? You got Google Maps over here? But so there were people responding that clearly don't know joe that they were saying like oh all these people out here trying to justify him saying the n-word and him saying this this uh you know horrible joke and it's like joe has said that he thinks those things are horrible himself so nobody's trying to defend something that joe doesn't think is okay what we're trying to defend is the accusation of him being a racist and we know this person as a friend so we're like nah he's not i know this person as a friend and also we're trying
Starting point is 00:11:11 to talk about the convenience in timing yeah of this uh racist accusation because they try to hit him with the misinformation that didn't stick because he put it right back in their face right so all of a sudden this race like immediately right off the bat comes out this has been out for 10 years everybody a lot of people who are tweeting about this video seen that video bro yeah a lot of them see it and didn't say shit and they piled the fuck on right when it was convenient so that's what i'm talking about like this is a hit piece and i don't know who the fuck started it and now that there's so much pile on you can't really point in any one direction right but it does come from somebody and i'm like
Starting point is 00:11:45 who benefits the most from this i don't know the next video is going to be the trans video yeah it's going to be and the final blow is going to be anti-semitic yeah that's the one i'll give a pass you heard it here first yeah that's the one you can't yeah i mean you know who's going through this um right now is jimmy carr oh you know comedian jimmy carr did you see the joke that he's getting no no i heard about it so basically he had this joke in his special where uh and i'm gonna probably butcher the joke but essentially goes uh you know we've all heard about the absolute atrocities that happened during the holocaust where six million Jews were killed.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But a lot of people don't talk about is the thousands of Roman gypsies that were also killed. And that's because people don't ever highlight the good things. Now. Now. Now. Now. I'll be laughing like you had a bad interaction with a gypsy If you've ever been to Europe And you know how they feel about gypsies
Starting point is 00:12:53 Every European is laughing their ass off The European viewers are like We hate them niggas too Honestly bro, I think a gypsy baby Woke up and laughed at it A sleeping gypsy baby woke up and laughed at it. A sleeping gypsy baby woke up, giggled, went back to bed. But here's a perfect, like, they're trying to get him out of here for that.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Yeah. Yeah. And, yeah, I guess, I don't know why. He has the benefit of having an audience. Yes. He said it on a comedy special where there was a group of people that all laughed. And so when people look at it, they go, oh, yeah, there's a buffer. He's trying to be offensive. He's trying to tell an offensive joke.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Yes. So there's a little bit more context and I think social grace. And we've had this conversation before. It's like rarely do people get canceled for jokes. Yeah. Like when it is a true, no, no, like a true joke. You know, like your boy Mike Ward was making a joke. And the little kid is back on that shit again.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Really? So now Supreme Court Just give context real quick Give context Mike Ward, he's a Quebec comedian And he made a joke 13 years ago He wrote that joke 13 years ago
Starting point is 00:13:59 Made that joke in a special about a kid And basically the whole thing is about The whole joke, the premise of the whole thing is about the whole joke the premise of the joke is how you there's some people that are untouchable that you can talk you cannot talk about different people and he put that kid in there that kid that has a disability all right and uh that kid tried to sue him for 40 grand or something first it was 80 then it was 35 and then supreme court of canada said like nah he didn't infringe your and your rights it's comedy chill kid is back wow for 372 000 for him and his mom
Starting point is 00:14:36 and now they want to go on defamation wow because he said, I tried to drown the kid. The kid won't die. I thought that this disability was that he was, I thought whatever. Yeah, yeah. Basically his disability is that he's ugly as fuck. You just took a machete to that fucking joke, my friend. I put my pants down and I sat down. At the end of the day.
Starting point is 00:15:01 At the end of the day. Yeah, yeah. You know what I could do with a machete, right? You remember that bit, right? There you go. Vividly. At the end of the day, at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:15:14 when you're seeing all this stuff, I don't think it's necessarily more so about the jokes because I don't think it matters whether you're joking or not. It doesn't really matter to them. I think it's what you represent and then how big of a figure you are. Right? as big as he is he's also living in england
Starting point is 00:15:29 and england they don't really fuck with cancel culture the same way that we do out here so it doesn't matter nearly as much there maybe it's chapelle for what he says is his comedy specials whether you deem it a joke or not i think once you start to represent something in the zeitgeist they start to look at you different and with rogan specifically the jump to go to spotify the more eyes you know like there's also a discussion to be had about the more mainstream you become the more new eyes you invite to yourself and if they're not used to what you say if they're starting to realize how much sway you have or how much influence you have you bring in a whole bunch of eyes that would normally never want to watch your stuff and they come in with that criticism i don't even think it's that much of a hit piece i think because
Starting point is 00:16:07 he's gotten so much recognition now people are like i don't like this dude i'm gonna start looking through his shit to see if i can find any dirt and then they start to watch a couple podcasts and like yo he said the n-word there i can super cut this i don't even think it's as calculated as that i don't think it has to i think just the more your name's out there the more people are gonna look you up and if people don't like what you're saying, they're just going to find things to go after you for. Especially if you're attached to an institution because then they can put the pressure on the institution. Well, that's what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:16:31 That's what they're doing. I understand that you don't feel like it's calculated. I just use a calculated thing because it's sus. The timing is super sus, man. It's sus. I was about to say shifty but well did you see the thread on your tweet no come on bro i don't look at my mentions
Starting point is 00:16:52 it's terrifying i was telling you like when i open twitter and i get like a lot of mentions i'm like oh here it is bro there's a thread on your tweet with 18 000 likes oh really explaining who did it oh who do they say this is like uh like a long thread but basically and i don't know again if this is true or not but this is what they piece together they basically say uh they look at all the people that are propagating all the initial tweets and they say it's a twitter page called patriot takes this is the whole porno thing right okay so patriot takes puts out all these things if you look at patriot takes bio they're partnered with a company called Midas Touch.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And then Midas Touch is a professional political organization. They're a Democrat super PAC run by three brothers. And you can basically find the people, and they're basically just getting unlimited funding. And I don't really understand how super PACs work, but my understanding is it's a political tool that you can just get unlimited money to fund campaigns. So you can't put money into politicians' pockets, but you can hire a super PAC that can get unlimited money.
Starting point is 00:17:47 So it basically acts as a financial buffer between the rich people and corporations and the politician that's actually making the influence. That's how George Soros can just put in endless millions to support all these tiny little campaigns. But it also allows the PAC to control the decisions of the candidate so if a candidate wants the money they got to do what the pack wants certain promises exactly and it goes both ways there's republican super PACs and democrat super PACs so people are pointing to patriot takes in their connection with Midas touch as the basically it's coming from like unspecified democrat funding is what people are suggesting now now portnoy did like a youtube live yeah yesterday and uh he and i think he referenced the tweet of mine and then he was talking to these
Starting point is 00:18:35 guys and then what was the outcome because it felt like at least from the reaction on on the internet that no no clear like victor there was no clear responsible party i mean the one thing that you can watch and just assume is that midas touch isn't responsible yeah for cutting together the compilation video of rogan yeah that was also the same one that was done for portnoy and business insider like you can i mean I don't know the proof, but you can kind of feel that. Almost Portnoy believed that. And then it led into his belief to say, tell me that you guys are part of this group that is trying to really bring people down in a systematic way.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Because Portnoy thought there was connective tissue between the hit piece on him and the videos that went out on him and this piece on Rogan. Right. So he was trying to be like, yo, there's one party trying to take all of us down let's point the finger at these guys see if it's them but it looked like the guys defended themselves well yeah and he just didn't have enough proof i mean it was pretty impromptu like it was from a couple tweets early in the daytime to like a midnight new york time like live session and he tried to pivot towards uh but yeah he did name check you that he kind of saw oh shit this is a uh you know a strategic power play and a hit piece and yeah but i think it's two two-pronged
Starting point is 00:19:53 if it is the super pack that's behind it because one they get the i guess like clout in business like resume of saying like yo we took down a massive political player and like a you know a broadcaster so if you're going to try to like put money into a super PAC this is the one you want to put it into because we have the actual influence oh yeah and secondly if you look at Rogan's endorsements in the past even if he's endorsed Democrats it hasn't been like establishment Democrats right he'll endorse Bernie like not Hillary Democrats that people in the Democrat party probably are not as big of fans of so you would say the Democratic establishment has the most to gain by
Starting point is 00:20:25 silence and Rogan. I guess he's not going to support the people that they want to put in power. I don't know if they have the most to gain necessarily. Like I think news has a lot to gain and I don't know if you can equate or, well, that's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Which one you can say is the most, there's a bunch of people who stand to gain from it and they're going to pile right the fuck up on. Of course. And that's why it's almost like the perfect storm. If you're trying to get him out of here. Because all you need to do is light the match. Conservative media might have something to gain from it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I don't think. Go ahead. I was going to say, without Trump in the building, I think this becomes a great focal point. I feel like there's always a new story on Rogan everywhere. Oh, yeah. They've made him the new Trump. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Which I think is not the most convenient because Rogan is not outlandish enough for them to fight back or to be combative. So it doesn't create a great back and forth that stays on TV. But as long as they can come up with these stories, they'll churn him out as long as they can. And he is white male, straight. Said some racist stuff, says edgy
Starting point is 00:21:17 things, potentially anti-vax, says some controversial stuff in regards to pandemic. Perfect vocal point because they got all the clips that they need. vocal point it's money it's money i guarantee you the stories that they write on rogan are probably their highest rated stories 100 and i don't even think that nobody has to benefit from from it's not from rogan being here um because rogan kind of encourages people to talk yeah to have a different opinion yeah people to be able to converse people to be in the middle and what what political party hates people in the
Starting point is 00:21:52 middle people that are nuanced nuance kills the political thing yeah you gotta go on one side or you gotta go on the other you gotta be all the way blue or all the way red god forbid you think for yourself right like yeah if he's able to just be like no no maybe they got something and maybe they got something and let's meet in the middle both these motherfuckers they hate that shit i think that's i think that's that's that's the thing on the other side though and i think it's important to be fair i've seen a lot of people criticize rogan for the simple fact that when he has these more controversial guests his own biases come in
Starting point is 00:22:25 and he doesn't offer any pushback on the guests who may say some wacky stuff because there have been some guests he's had on who said some stuff that's just absolutely nonsensical yeah yeah right and i and and to that i'm always like yeah you know what there is a bias there even me when i watch the podcast i can see that but i don't look to rogan to be the unbiased source the same way when i go on cnn i'm not expecting them to be like well i can understand the anti-vaxxers the same way when i go on like right everybody's got their i think there's this idea of like the unbiased individual or the unbiased reporter or the unbiased news network it doesn't exist dude not that i know of does anybody know fucking supreme court they're literally hired to be unbiased and they vote the party line every single time and that's
Starting point is 00:23:04 why it's such a big fucking deal when they're when one is going to get nominated who might be like a republican or has certain beliefs it's like it shouldn't matter what their party is no you're literally just looking at the constitution and making your decision based on the constitution you're supposed to do your job so their political value shouldn't matter out the window well right on the paper terms and condition but nobody reads the fucking term but you know that's a good point like we don't i don't want rogan to be neutral just be you dog no like he never said hey i'm the neutral guy yeah and i'm just giving it information like have the people on you're interested in yo if you're
Starting point is 00:23:31 interested in native americans have a guy on who wrote a fucking book about native americans you don't owe nobody anything no right cnn fox news the people the people that come out there and they just go hey we are the truth you owe us some truth yo, yo. Yeah. And if you don't, we could be upset. Yeah. But the guy doing a podcast that's talking to scientists and is curious about things, he owes us his curiosity. That's exactly what a podcast is.
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yeah. You've been listening to it and while you're on your laptop, you're like, oh, they just talked about this. Let me Google and do more digging. It's like they forgot the whole... Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:04 God forbid we do what yeah they forgot about it the minute that that motherfucker started to get numbers the minute that people started i'm not gonna look at you i'm gonna look at them because you fucked up but that's not on joe rogan that's on on the on all the media that fucked up and do some fucked up shit guys big infamous tour update especially for canada um Canada, your government sucks, dude.

Starting point is 00:28:25 yeah yeah so like i'm reading this book right now roger ailes like the dude that basically like ran fox from like behind the scenes and he's like evil capitalist guy but like also kind of a genius at the same time like a tricky tricky character yeah basically he was so he was the first guy to like made politics entertainment on tv and was like yo make the tv thing for people and his he has a quote in the book where he's like bro thinking is hard yeah it is hard to think let the tv think and people want to just digest information it's already worked out i mean that's my frustration right now with news is like i don't trust any of it so i find myself checking out of information yes right like i actually will go to like my friends for takes i go to my friend
Starting point is 00:29:03 going what is your take on this even if it's not based in fact or anything i'm just like what do you feel because your feeling is probably just as accurate as the bullshit i'm going to get on msnbc or fox news right so if people want to remove themselves from that thinking process and they find a place where they believe the truth is yeah they'll start to just convince themselves that that's the truth right it is what it is so i understand like people feeling maybe misled in that regard but like that's the human that's the human reaction that's the human instinct let's do as little work as possible yeah to get the most information that we can yes right it's like that's why books exist right oh this guy's an expert on
Starting point is 00:29:40 that he figured it all out okay i'm gonna digest this book so i don't want to go to college for three years and then university for five and then have a doctorate. You want some real shit? I don't give a fuck about it. I'm trying to figure out a story. I go on YouTube. I go, let me see if Abba and Preach already figured out this goddamn story. You know how many people watch your shit because they're like, I don't want
Starting point is 00:29:58 to research this shit. Abba and Preach research shit. Yeah, they did the work. You guys did the work. You know what we did? Google. Yeah. Do we have a research? Hell no. Yeah, they did the work. You guys did the work. You know what we did? Google. Yeah. But that's, yeah. Do we have a research? Hell no. You're going to find somebody else, nigga?
Starting point is 00:30:11 Google for me? Fuck yeah. But you read something. You read two things. Yeah, I read what CNN wrote. A couple of things. Bro, research. When we were doing the rants, bro, the research was the hardest part.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Writing the jokes is fun. Getting in a room, talking that shit, etc. But writing the fucking research paper, going in there, reading the fucking articles, talking the experts. Yeah, but the news don't want to do that no more. They want shit. I want Ric Flair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Tucker Carlson's perfect. Tucker's entertaining. He gotta drop a who. That's what it is. They want that. And the news cannot do that anymore. And then you see Rogan with his numbers. And then he gets all the publicity that we can't get.
Starting point is 00:30:52 We get all that money. We want that money. You can't get that. Yo, Tucker. They kind of cry about that shit. Tucker, low key. Tucker's fine. He's the most.
Starting point is 00:31:01 He just got to be like. He really got to be like like So what do the Democrats think It doesn't matter What the Democrats think He gotta go full wrestling bro Yeah If he went full wrestling I think he gets everybody on
Starting point is 00:31:13 Him versus Don Lemon Bro Don can't Gold dust They get in the ring Bro Gold dust Don Lemon don't want
Starting point is 00:31:22 That smoke bro Don can't handle it No Tucker out here Calling Nancy Pelosi Michael Jackson Imagine what he's gonna do With Don Lemon don't want that smoke, bro Don Lemon can't handle it Tucker out here calling Nancy Pelosi Michael Jackson Imagine what he's going to do with Don Lemon Yeah, I think the only one who could go head-to-head with him Would be Jon Stewart I'd watch that Yeah, but Stewart's an actual comedian
Starting point is 00:31:34 Like, Stewart will mop the floor with Tucker What about actual combat? Oh, actual fight? Yeah, yeah Who's going to win in a fight? Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, Anderson Cooper Did he...
Starting point is 00:31:43 The pain tolerance, bro? Just cooper did he the pain tolerance bro just think about the pain tolerance is different he's assuming he's a bottom say what that's mad i don't know how many books he had to read i know for a fact fast forward okay um actually no we're talking about the rogan thing yes um the other thing i was going to say is like when people watch a podcast so this is the mistake of the people and i feel like people do this with comedy too is they'll listen to Rogan and they'll internalize things as facts. I'm just listening to somebody have a conversation,
Starting point is 00:32:29 whether they're right or wrong. Like I'm not assuming that. The same way people go to Dave Chappelle's comedy special, they're like, that's facts. No, it's not. It's a joke. Because comedians oftentimes they'll obfuscate the truth. They'll stretch facts.
Starting point is 00:32:40 They'll misplace timings all the time when they're telling a story of a real event. And that's okay. Cause you're doing it for the punchline but the viewer the issue with them is like they're like man when you got that the baby situation like he was wrong like the baby shot himself the first like nigga this is not a self-defense team yeah yeah yeah you're watching a comedy special but i think there's also a responsibility on the viewers to not be so lazy and to not just hear something be like that's the truth you gotta remind them it's comedy it's like you know when you're on stage someone's like uh
Starting point is 00:33:09 excuse me actually what shut up yeah shut your whore mouth yeah it's comedy shut up you know we're not here for that actually actually shut the fuck up like always people like that low-key i can see that happen with you guys a lot because you'll be on on your youtube channel and you'll say what is happening in a story so people might perceive you guys as the news not only comedians because you guys are stand-up comics but probably the most interaction people have with you guys is delivering them the news yeah yeah that's interesting which is sad which is so sad because early in my career and and alex can probably uh talk about this too is like when i was doing brilliant idiots a lot of people didn't
Starting point is 00:33:58 know me as a comic yeah so they would hear me saying these wild things on brilliant idiots and beg this kid is going crazy what the fuck is this guy talking about yo but here's the thing once i put out i said this nigga's wild i'm a wild boy he was moving i'm a wild boy you never see this man his early days matt yeah i was was out here. But I put out some stand-up, literally put out stand-up, and then all the people that watch the podcast saw the stand-up, and they were like, oh, here are the fleshed-out versions of those crazy takes, and he's just being a comic on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:34:36 And it immediately changed the perception. Everybody that was upset or frustrated or didn't understand me before, after that moment, immediately started going, oh, he's just doing that comedian thing. Right. And it was liberating, bro. Because I got to go be myself on the podcast instead of being like someone who is a social commentator. I'm a comedian, bro.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yeah, I feel you on that. And that's why it'd be interesting to see you guys put out more stand-up. Because people could look at you guys for the truth and they'll look at you guys for the information, but then when you guys are busting balls or you have that kind of hot take that's a little spicy yeah they go yeah that's what they do yeah these guys are comics but i would want to have more comedy on my channel but shit's a little dead right now what do you mean there's a reason why we got that
Starting point is 00:35:20 freedom convoy yeah so are y'all supporting the racist, homophobic, misogynistic freedom convoy? Yeah, yeah. I want to support the people that want to kill me, for sure. I'm just waiting for a truck to come by, so I can be like,
Starting point is 00:35:31 hey, take me home, daddy. I got some good characterization. If I get to do another comedy show, run me over, brother. I'm so sick of this show. I don't know. I'm not so mad. I sat by the road.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Some bitch tried to give me cookies. I'm like, I thought the KKK was about to roll through. She had cookies. They were baking stuff. Little gingerbread man. Bruv.
Starting point is 00:35:51 You want some poutine? They got that shit by the side of the road. It's crazy. Oh, it's happened in Montreal too. In Quebec City. Yes. Got you. Got you.
Starting point is 00:35:58 They've been converging from everywhere. Quebec City's the capital, right? It's happening in my hometown of Ottawa. A shitty place, but it's the capital. I didn't know you were from Ottawa. I was born there, but I grew up elsewhere. Okay. Yeah, I have to say that.
Starting point is 00:36:08 All right, so break it down for us Americans, and there's other foreigners that are watching this podcast, because we're just getting the American version of it, right? And obviously, that's very skewed, right? Because the left is going to be like, oh, yeah, these racist people have organized this protest. They're terrorizing the city. They're occupying it. And then the right is basically going, no, these people and the community's coming together and look they cleaned down the the statue of the one
Starting point is 00:36:28 leg guy that used to run in canada right like whatever the guy's name is i don't know terry fox yeah terry fox right what is it so so what is it what's going on and like where do canadians stand on it when it started out it started out as just to enter back in canada truckers would have to uh do 14 days of quarantining if they don't get vaccinated after they've left the u.s they went they went to the u.s and they want to come back in canada right would say, yo, you're going to have to do 14 days of quarantine. Unless you get vaccinated. And you got to get vaccinated. The thing is, 90% of the truckers are vaccinated.
Starting point is 00:37:13 They already are. Yeah. It's just that they said, even for that 10, they just tilted. They went like, you know what? Fuck this shit. Now this, who gives a fuck? It's not so much that all the truckers are not that. They are.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Most of them are that. It's principle. It's principle. It's just like when I, you know what? Fuck it. Yeah. Fuck it. And then they march down and it started with that.
Starting point is 00:37:37 And then they just added a whole bunch of things. Okay, now we have the mandates. So remove all the mandates. We know it doesn't work like that it doesn't work remove all those mandates and stuff like that so now it's bigger it's bigger than anti-vax people and you feel like canada is supporting this you feel like most canadians are rocking with them and interesting i don't think no i think people see the support online and assume that but actually most canadian so so Canada is very different from the States.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Most Canadians support the mandates, the vaccine mandates, all that stuff. Lockdown? By polls, by all the numbers, even though the support has dwindled over time, it's still a majority. So there's support of the lockdowns and all the measures. I know because I live in Quebec. And even though a lot of the young people in Montreal are not down with it, the rest of the province doesn't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Really? They're fine with a lot of this stuff. If you're not, basically, if you're not basically if you're not even the restaurants even no like obviously the business owners are really hurt by it so they can't stand it yeah but if you're talking about the people who matter who are the voters to the politicians right then the voters they're with it and the voters the voters are boomers yeah so that's interesting the voters don't care about the restaurateur they don't they don't yeah i don't care about they don't care about clubs comedy clubs they don't care about the restaurateur. They don't. They don't. Yeah. I don't care about it. They don't care about clubs, comedy clubs. They don't care about restaurants.
Starting point is 00:38:48 None of the service industry at all. They don't do that. I actually saw, this was while I was in an Uber, and there was a guy who had the radio on, and he was talking to this old guy who lives out in the boonies. And he was like, how do you feel about the fact that a lot of young people, they're depressed, some of them are feeling suicidal, they feel like their social lives, they can't, they can't see their friends from high school or they can't hang out with anybody. Like they're really being hurt by all the restrictions. Don't you have any sympathy for them? He's like, Oh, fuck them. Fuck the clubs. Fuck everybody. Tell them to stay home. It's none
Starting point is 00:39:16 of my business. There's zero consideration for the younger generation. And so that sentiment is very pervasive. They don't care. And everyone's kind of out there for their own self-interest in that regards i we're getting none of that here no the only version of that maybe you guys are seeing different shit than me but the only version of that i get is from trudeau yeah and from the politicians yeah we're hiding right now yo that was nowhere to see shit right that's him why y'all vote for this guy man who's we bring back hard canadians oh hey hey don't put everybody in the same part you know what it is it's not enough y'all he didn't win the field lost that's pussy even right there how you got a loser in as president like they're good with the status quo yeah yeah they're good with this and he also timed his election really
Starting point is 00:40:04 intelligently That's the most Canadian shit ever You don't even have to win Wait a minute You elected the loser Don't you motherfuckers do that too Alright fine Technically Trump did win because they stole from him
Starting point is 00:40:18 Okay hold on Recount it That's pussy Well listen we tried to make a change Some of us went down there Okay, hold on. Recounter! That's pussy! Well, listen, we tried to make a change. Some of us went down there. Yeah. See what I mean? We had our own little freedom convoy.
Starting point is 00:40:34 It wasn't as successful as you guys. They just ran up on foot. Let us in, please! That was mad. But yeah, no. Canadians overwhelmingly support the mandates mandates but you're seeing a lot of people online who are behind it people from other countries so online if you're consuming it that way you get the vibe yeah that you know what was interesting you know what's crazy what you
Starting point is 00:40:56 know that their gofundme was yeah but you know who did it they actually admitted it who it was the mayor of ottawa him and the government were talking to GoFundMe. And they said, we want this shut down. And GoFundMe accepted. He came on an interview and said it. Yeah. What? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:09 So the government got with a private institution. And now GoFundMe is not even returning the money. They're going to give it to other random chairs. No, that's not true. You can get your money back. You can? They don't want to give the money back. OK.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Because they get 3%. Right. Right? So they don't want to give back that 3%, obviously. But if you ask for your money, you can't get it back. If you don't ask for it- They're going to just distribute it. Naturally, that's what they do.
Starting point is 00:41:30 That's bad, though. That's crazy to me. But here's the thing. That's what they do in these situations. I was looking that up. Okay. Like, if you give money to a charity, then they can't give it to someone. They don't automatically give it back to you because they want that little piece.
Starting point is 00:41:41 That's what I'm saying. Yeah. But it is fucked up that the government can step in and manipulate a private business. I wouldn't say myself, the last time I checked it was like 45% agree with the convoy. So it's not overwhelming, but it's still, the majority still agrees against it. You know what I mean? So, but I don't know. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:42:01 We'll see what's going on with the whole cancellation of the GoFundMe, with them moving to another city. They were really in Ottawa. Now they're really in Quebec City. Now, is it true that they're calling it an occupation now, and that's why the GoFundMe was going to take it? Because a GoFundMe can support a protest. It was smeared. It's all smeared, right?
Starting point is 00:42:19 It's all smeared. It's all smeared. So how do you guys feel? Canada is supposed to be this progressive, loving, everybody gets along country and it has these a lot of amazing things like i think one thing i admire about canada is it seems to and again this is from the outside it seems like canada does a good job of getting most people on board with the canadian sentiment right it seems like there isn't there is a love of being canadian and then that can cross cultural barriers too like there is this idea of like hey we got to look out for one another
Starting point is 00:42:50 and that's the right thing to do and we can be proud of that it's just that our pr is better than yours that's it that's it let's not act like let's not act like you know you don't think that it's you don't think that your political opposition isn't as extreme like even your right wing doesn't even touch our left yet yet i could get there i do think that there's far more trust in our institutions than you guys have in yours okay that's because our institutions don't have the same rep that your guys yours is due ah they haven't broken your trust just yet no and if you think about quality of life i'm pretty sure if you look at the happiness index we're gonna rank higher than you guys okay why because a lot of our basic needs are taken care of for the most part we have good social safety nets we got health care for people you
Starting point is 00:43:31 know i mean we don't have the same issues in terms of like if you're poor there's a lot more opportunity for you in canada than we'll be here in the states right so i think in terms of the general sentiment towards the government we're far ahead of you guys in that regard right and so when the government says we're going to do a lockdown well they've earned a lot more trust from us like you guys must be right where we've had the government fuck us over for like i don't trust these motherfuckers who's really behind this exactly big pharma want to lock it down like who's really profiting off of this so you guys believe but now you have these instances where you see the government
Starting point is 00:44:02 using their power to kind of silence individual citizens. Do you start to lose a little bit of faith for your government? It's kind of brittle a bit, but it's not it's not the same. It's going to take a lot more. That's why I said yet. We're not there yet. But I mean, if they keep on going like that, it's going to happen. It's just that their PR is better than yours.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah. You Americans been known to say, fuck you a lot more than fuck that shit fuck you nah fuck them that's you guys but that's culturally that's who we are like and the people but the people who come here they're the fuck you people yeah like everybody who comes to america one person in their family looked at the country they were from and all their family members were like i don't need y'all i don't know if you can attest to this i feel like immigrants even in canada like people from minority backgrounds already have before this pandemic not fuck with the government yeah oh because they're coming from places where the government's corrupt yeah and also like the
Starting point is 00:44:56 government of canada doesn't have the greatest reputation you know reputation with the indigenous people for example what no no wait what happened what happened did something happen with native americans he's an expert on that he got a machete from them so he knows all about it let's call it tomahawk yeah that's real that's real that's real but yeah they think let's not act like they didn't find the bodies of 6,000 kids in residential homes. It's dark. It's super dark. Let's not act. Jimmy Carr, insert joke.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Let's not act like we all breezy with the natives. Let's not act like natives don't have clean drinking water in their reservation. Come on now. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we're all good. Yeah. in the reservation. Come on now. We're all good. I think it's harder for us to gauge that level of trust because I've always kind of had that to some degree.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I don't know how the more white populace would feel about how things are shifting. I don't know. I'm kind of isolated from that. You kind of see some fucked up shit sometimes. You hang around the natives and you're like, okay, yeah, you've been fucked over just like what they did. Okay, cool. Same, same. How do the natives and you're like, okay, yeah, you've been fucked over. Just like what they did in... Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Same, same. How do the natives feel about the convoy? Some of them are with them. That's interesting. Yeah, because some of the people from the convoy are actually... Some of them requested, yo, can we do something about the water? Yeah. Can we do something about the water?
Starting point is 00:46:22 It's been time. And Trudeau said that he would do something about the water? It's been time. And Trudeau said that he would do something about the water six years ago. And he received, I believe was $1.8 billion to do something. In funding. Wow. What do you think he did with that? Bought paint?
Starting point is 00:46:36 Oh, black paint maybe? We gotta do a GoFundMe for that. That's what we did. Redirect the money for the water. How do you feel about that how do you feel about like the Trudeau blackface stuff I don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:46:48 y'all don't care about it I keep the same energy you did some 25 years 20 years ago it's like 20 years ago I just don't get on top of that technically it was brownface right isn't that allowed
Starting point is 00:46:55 yeah yeah I feel like that's different no it is different I feel like it is different isn't it if I do yellowface isn't that different no I don't think it's different
Starting point is 00:47:04 I think it's different because there's no cultural like um example of like with blackface there's examples of black people not being allowed to succeed in certain institutions and it's a mockery of black people in film right if we've seen that with brown face then i would go okay maybe we can't do that if there's no history of that then you should be able to do brownface. So it's not like it's offensive to put the color on your face. It's offensive to remind us of this time period where black people were mocked in cinema. I would just ask brown people.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I would just ask brown people, how y'all feel about it? Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, no. No, we're not here. Cut that shit out, bro. Cut that shit out. That shit is mad Canadian, bro. Why are you trying to ask their opinions
Starting point is 00:47:43 about anything? What the fuck, bro? Vala, how do you feel? Psych? You know what cool story did come out, though? What? They were trying to get tow trucks to tow away the Freedom Convoy. And they were like, nah, we're not doing that.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yeah, we're not. Hell no. The police was like, no, we're not helping you guys. You got to find someone else. Fuck that shit. Because they work so close to that. That's the same. That's the homies right there, bro.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yeah, we're not doing that. It's like you defending Rogan. Like, you're not going to do nothing. That's my guy. That's where the truckers get their trainings. They're like, I'm going to tow. These motherfuckers are going to hire me next year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Fuck that shit. I ain't fucking up my job. Hell no. And my picture's taken and I'm on the news. And now they know. Weren't you that guy on the news that towed a truck? Oh, shit. I ain't fucking up my job. My picture's taken and I'm on the news. Weren't you that guy on the news that threw the truck? Uh, shit. I ain't doing that shit. I just love seeing Canadians angry. That shit is the best.
Starting point is 00:48:33 We're not gonna fucking stand for it anymore. We're not gonna fucking... You know what? You know what? When black people do the white guy voice in comedy, I came straight out of Saskatchewan. When black people do like the white guy voice in comedy,
Starting point is 00:48:52 that's how I feel doing Canadians voice. Okay. When I hear Canadians, I think that's what black people hear when they hear white people. You feel employable. Yeah. What are you saying? I'm not employed. That's manager status right there.
Starting point is 00:49:06 I got him separate. He went Karen. Full Karen. Full Karen. You made a shot at Karen. Hey, son. I understand Karen energy, by the way. I figured out Karen energy.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And white people, we have this in us. It's just when you're not used to being inconvenienced, it feels like an attack. And poor white people don we have this in us. It's just when you're not used to being inconvenienced, it feels like an attack. And poor white people don't have Karen energy because they're used to being inconvenienced. It's rich white people that like usually the people that are around them are like, I don't know. They're like people in the building are there to serve them, right? The people at their fucking resort. Everybody's there to serve them.
Starting point is 00:49:46 So when somebody like interrupts or does something that they don't like, they're like, why would you be doing this to me? Black people are used to getting pulled over for no fucking reason, right? Followed around a store for no fucking reason. So when you're inconvenienced, the knee jerk isn't going to care. So I literally think it's just simply a misunderstanding of inconvenience.

I didn't do shit. I did my initial contract and then I bailed. What'd you do? I did my just. So the way it works is you do your first contract.

So I was working behind a keyboard yeah you feel me so i wasn't going overseas yeah everybody learns how to fire their guns to do all that stuff yeah not everybody gets a dangerous job that's a pet peeve of mine when everyone just hears like oh i was a veteran but you've been at least you uh contribute like i have that's one regret that i have is i didn't serve really yeah i wish i i wish i did at least like uh i think what is it basic and i think you do two years i think is
Starting point is 01:07:28 depending on what contract or what job you take but i wish i did that i wish i dedicated some time what role would you be um probably captain general four-star general i would have done four-star general probably you would have enlisted as a general yeah i would just probably do four star general that's what i would go out for i I'd be like, yeah, it's time. But didn't you manage restaurants? Yeah, I managed restaurants. But how did that go? Well, both of them were out of business.
Starting point is 01:07:49 But restaurants are different than people. Because I would try to make those Mexicans drop and give me 20, but them motherfuckers wouldn't do it. They just gave me pesos. The food is late. Drop and give me 20. They were in New York. They weren't Mexicans. They were Dominican.

Like, I wish, you know, regardless if you believe it or not, you signed up to potentially put your life on the line.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Maybe you weren't in the situation to do it, but that is what happens. Now, you don't maybe believe that, but the reality is if you're in the Army and it's go time, you're going to be the one that's on the lines so at least that's what i think i was like i wanted to contribute in that way and uh i never did my dad was in the army you know what i mean like i i wish i did that and now i'm probably too old but i wish i did that i know oh you're not too old you can still join but now i'm too old old. I think you're in a different wave now. No, they and I accepted. What am I saying?

Brazil was playing Belgium and Haitians love the Brazilian national team. Okay. So they, why is that? I don't remember. They have Haitians.
Starting point is 01:14:17 They have two teams. It's Brazil and Argentina. Interesting. I don't really know why, but. Just the best closest teams. Maybe. Probably. Yeah. Interesting. I don't really know why, but... Just the best, closest teams, maybe? Probably. Most historic figures. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Okay. And so they waited for the game to end. Brazil lost. And the moment Brazil lost to Belgium, they shut down the whole country. I'm talking about roadblocks everywhere. Smart. Tires set them on fire.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Nobody's moving. Smart. Well, we were still there. Yeah. Yeah, we were like... What? He said smart. That's smart. That is smart. moving well we were still there yeah yeah we weren't like uh but that's what we should do in ottawa with these people with these people trying to take over our country like that you guys have to stop the unrest and the the the taking it over
Starting point is 01:15:09 okay you can tell the rest of this please continue your story about this called jack man right so we're cut there like we're stuck there right there's roadblocks uh so basically all the gang members are ruling the the the road they don't want nobody to pass right so every day that we missed our flight already we were with the organizers and every day we spend there we're losing money and this motherfucker's like yo nigga we knew we we're losing money yeah we need to go back yeah like i every time i go to the to to anywhere in the caribbean i buy machetes i go to country i buy machete okay why because machete is a symbol of of power that's what gave the river that's what did the revolution for the haitians but it's also a tool that built
Starting point is 01:15:59 all the caribbean you know i mean You can chop sugar canes and stuff. But I buy machetes. I'm a fan of machetes. I like that. If you like guns, you buy guns. I like machetes. I buy machetes. I buy both. Anyways, that's besides the point. So I go there. But this is the
Starting point is 01:16:21 Haitian army, right? This is it. This is why y'all can't have an army. This is why. Y'all fuck it up. We gave y'all some guns. We started putting machetes at the front of it, and we're like, all right, take this shit back immediately. These guys are wildin'.
Starting point is 01:16:35 Look how excited he gets just talking about it. Ain't no way y'all can have an army. Dominican Republic be done if y'all had a fucking army. That'd be fun. There's Joseph Coney right here, bro. We found him!
Starting point is 01:16:55 He's a warlord, bro. So I bought a machete and everybody's looking at me weird and stuff like that. Whatever, it's in my luggage and shit. So this shit is popping off and i'm like all right we gotta go i did i put all the teams together like listen we gotta go right we gotta go we're going now yeah so we made our own little freedom convoy
Starting point is 01:17:15 it was like three cars yeah and we need to leave go to the closest hotel which is near the airport that's like three hours away go ahead the funniest thing is like the organizers brought us here for the festival so they brought us to haiti when it was time to leave they were terrified they didn't know what to do they started panicking so our organizers just got lost and this is our first time in haiti so the funniest part about us having to leave that city was the first truck which is the one that's got to deal with all the roadblocks, it was our driver, Delgado. Shout out to him. Preach and me.
Starting point is 01:17:48 So imagine you're a guest in another country. Shit pops off. And them motherfuckers. They put you in the front. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. Because I always put the army in the front. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:17:59 But we're there. And these motherfuckers are not doing anything. So we're in front. So we get to a roadblock. I'm talking about trees, cars, and everything and stuff. I get out the car, take out the roadblocks, whatever, do a passage for all the cars to pass. So we go one roadblock, two roadblocks, three roadblocks.
Starting point is 01:18:15 We have to discuss with the people. And I speak Creole, so I'm all right. So you deal with them. You want smoke? What do you want? Money? Smoke? Little girls? Because I call me. Anyways. you you talk you deal with them you want smoke what do you want money smoke uh little girls anyways
Starting point is 01:18:27 i made you look down that was good that was good we passed uh at some point uh they don't want to let us let us pass and they're getting very rowdy and that that's not really me, all right? It's all the driver. The driver gets out of there. This motherfucker, the whole trip, we were there for two weeks. He haven't said one word. I think he grunts one time.
Starting point is 01:18:57 He gets out the car, and he tells them in Creole. I'm going to translate for you. He's like, yo, these guys have machete picks and stuff like that. He's like, yo, you guys have peasant tools. Well, we riot, we have guns. You're going to let us pass. If you don't let us pass, I'm coming back here and I'm shooting all of y'all. You said that.
Starting point is 01:19:18 No, he said that. I'm in the car and Abba's in the back like, oh, nigga, if something pops off, you drive off. And my leg was already over there. One step ahead of you, buddy. When he said that shit, in my head he was already dead. Oh yeah. In my head I'm like playing beef.
Starting point is 01:19:37 I was like, oh shit. I told Preach, I said, yo, the stick's already ready. Just jump over and then we pop off. What's about to pop off? This man, after he says that shit, these guys all go off into the bushes. So that's the second roadblock after that. He went back and he let us in and then we get to another roadblock. You know the roadblock where they were throwing bottles at us for us not to advance?
Starting point is 01:19:59 Yeah. And then he gets off the car and my machete ready in between my leg like that, but it's wrapped in paper. So I'm like that, right? I'm like, Iete ready in between my leg like that, but it's wrapped in paper. So I'm like that, right? I'm like, I'm just, I'm just like that. I got my sunglasses and I got my head all tied up. And you have to understand that tattoos are not something that is very common in Haiti.
Starting point is 01:20:17 Oh, really? It's either you have tattoos either because you're American, either you're a gang member. So my whole sleeve done up, my whole leg done up. Okay. I got my short shorts everything's showing i'm just sitting with this in my hands like that and they go off in the woods i'm just talking to abba he's in the back seat i'm like yo this shit's fucked up he's fucked up for real and then abba just goes like is this nigga doing some push-ups and i look over the driver is talking to the chief, the gang of this and he's doing push-ups with his shirt
Starting point is 01:20:48 off and he's just looking at the dude like we can't hear what he's saying like what the fuck going on they point at us and they go back and like he starts coming back in the car, no that's not it he does some push-ups and there's a guy that comes to the car, look inside the car.
Starting point is 01:21:07 I speak Haitians. I speak Creole. I'm like,. And he runs towards them. And I'm like, that fuck up? What the fuck is going on? And they're screaming. The driver comes back.
Starting point is 01:21:25 And I'm like, why? I'm like, he's in the car laughing. I'm like, why are you laughing? And he's like, oh, because they thought you had a gun. Huh? Yeah. It's like, yo, yeah, I got a gun to dread in the car. He has a gun.
Starting point is 01:21:36 I'm like, he ain't got no gun. You know what? If you don't let us pass, he's going to come out with his gun. And I was like, did you use me? You used me. And we left. We were both, because they weren't scared I had a gun, but it wasn't my machete. Yeah, they saw the butt, because the way he had it set up, it's almost like it's there.
Starting point is 01:21:58 So they just saw the butt of the machete. And they thought he had like an 8K or something. They thought I had a 12 gauge. Because you can kind of mistake it. So that ended up working in our favor. And my hand was on that shit. And the driver just knew to lie. He's just, yeah, he's just smart.
Starting point is 01:22:11 He's just poker, poker face. He's just poker. Dude. The pushup move is brilliant. Crazy. But yeah, we had to undo. Just how comfortable he felt in that environment. You could tell he's used to gang life.
Starting point is 01:22:20 Yeah. So I had to, yeah, undo barricades and blockies and shit like that. I'm cutting a lot of shit out. At some point, we had to go to the forest. I was leading that shit with my machete. That shit was mad.
Starting point is 01:22:29 In the forest. And the other cars were following me. And I'm like, yo, pass there. It's better. It was a huge puddle. Anyways, it was wild.
Starting point is 01:22:37 I'm cutting a lot of shit out, but yeah. How long until you got to the airport? Three. Well, it got three hours before we got to the hotel that we stayed at the hotel
Starting point is 01:22:44 two days. Yeah. And then we got at the airport, same thing, on we got at the airport same thing on the way to airport it was still not safe so i was on in front have you ever been to a place like that you ever been to a place where like there's no clear sense of order like you could kind of feel like you ever been to a really bad neighborhood and you know nobody really patrols around here and like the rules are not kind of set you know what i'm saying a little bit but not like that though i had the same feeling when i went to some spot parts in new orleans but anyways all this to say there's certain places you go to in the world where you're just like there's no rules here like what happens is just something that happened to you and there's
Starting point is 01:23:15 gonna be no justice nobody's gonna come fix things so you better fend for yourself because if you don't you're fucked well that's what it was like for us when we got there it was it was order when we were there and then everything popped off and it was like for us when we got there. It was order when we were there, and then everything popped off, and then everything shifted. So even when we got to Port-au-Prince, it was still, there was nobody patrolling the streets. All the police guards are staying at home or guarding the really important people. So if you get shot in the streets, that's just something that happened.
Starting point is 01:23:38 So it was a rear tension. They're going to drag, after five hours, they're going to finally drag your body out. Yeah. Because sometimes, in some places, if someone gets out in the middle of the street, you're not allowed to touch the body. Yeah. It's a message. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:23:52 They want everybody to know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. After a while, they're going to drag your body. Like, you're going to go around, oh, shit, dead body. And eventually, they'll drag your body out. But, you know, there's not going to be any.
Starting point is 01:24:06 I didn't know that. That's why I can't go. I don't, I can't go now. My parents won't let me go. The hate I was supposed to go with my dad. We've been planning that shit, but they don't want to go. Rob Markman I mean, right now they got on them kidnappings. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But it's, it's, it's...
Starting point is 01:24:17 Rob Markman When we left, when we left, that's the word I just told them and chatting and everything. That was in 2018. That was then. Now... Rob Markman Things have deteriorated. You know, it's unfortunate
Starting point is 01:24:27 because the country itself is actually a wonderful place. Like when we were there before everything popped up, had a wicked time. People were so gracious. Like even without much, like you could feel
Starting point is 01:24:35 a lot of love. They were very welcoming. We shot our documentary there and everybody was so cool with us. Even in dangerous parts, people were like really accepting. So, you know, I think due to like
Starting point is 01:24:43 the outside issue politically and like a lot of the choices made from the leaders like it gets a super bad rap but my experience with the haitian people is just absolutely wonderful so we tell this story but it's not the real reflection of what life is like they're just going through a really bad spell right now but yeah even if all this happened i still want to go back yeah same i want to go does it change like do you guys feel um guilt because of your success when you see what people are going through like even family members from where you're from where's your family from ethiopia ethiopia like is there any part of you that goes like for example like i have this huge advantage where like yeah my mom came from like very working class background
Starting point is 01:25:24 in like scotland but it's not like destitute poverty yeah right so and then like my dad was like new york and that kind so i'm never going like oh i gotta take all this money and i gotta send it back home i gotta do you guys feel that at all or i don't feel that with my my my people from home and stuff like that i I'm grateful for my parents. Yeah. To made the choices that they made. Yeah. To, to come to Canada and stuff like that and,
Starting point is 01:25:50 and do what they did. Very, very smart with their money and stuff like that. So I'm, I'm grateful. I don't feel like I, most of my family is actually in the States or in Canada. Yeah. So I don't feel like I have to, like if you're fucked up.
Starting point is 01:26:08 There's less like survivals, survivor's guilt or something like that. Exactly. But I had an issue. I had a little issue during the pandemic with all my coworkers that was working and that couldn't work no more. Yeah. And I felt on top of it. I was lying about, I'm still lying about my income.
Starting point is 01:26:24 I'm lying about a bunch of shit yeah yeah yeah just how you doing I'm alright but during the pandemic that shit blew the fuck off before the pandemic we had 235,000 and now with the pandemic
Starting point is 01:26:40 people ain't got nothing to do but with my other co-workers that had bars and just just were working in bars and stuff like that and i couldn't work no more that felt some type of way yeah for three days after that it was a weekend it was a long weekend what about you your poor homies yeah the guys you came up with that like are dead broke you know i'm saying or like struggling financially you don't feel some type of way no go no i mean like the homies homies i've always looked out for like my circle i keep like a smaller circle of people that i feel responsible for i have to take care of sure and then i know there's a lot of people especially
Starting point is 01:27:20 in entertainment like they're friends with everybody and i'm i'm acquaintances with a lot of people and like i really believe in a lot of people i think they're great but like if you're like the homie homie then i have to make sure you're good and you can't make sure everybody's good no so i yeah i i reserve those positions for the people who are just like fucking i love and ride or die loyal like and that's what they're gonna get from me you know i feel weird about even talking about money still. Like I still live in the same apartment that I've lived in the seven years. You know what I mean? I don't,
Starting point is 01:27:50 I don't change too much, but I'm also very low key. I don't want people to really know. Cause I feel, I worry that my interactions with the people I enjoy spending time with is going to change substantially because like you're in a different tax bracket all of a sudden. So I think for me,
Starting point is 01:28:03 I don't know if it's going to happen, but I've seen how money changes a lot of folks or like how it changes the folks around them. So for me, I've always been a little bit. Are you talking to people who got some money now? Some people, but like the people who I'm close with, no. But you should because they got game. All right, guys, let me take a break for a second.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Let's be honest, okay? We got Super Bowl 56 to gamble on. And where are you going to gamble? You're going to gamble with my bookie, okay? You're going to gamble on and where you gonna gamble you're gonna gamble with my bookie okay you're gonna gamble with my bookie because my bookie fucks with us let's just keep it a buck my bookie fucks with us and if they fuck with us that means they fuck with you okay because you fuck with us it goes the long way they're doubling that initial deposit bonus that means you put up the bread they're gonna double it that's more money for you to win
Starting point is 01:28:42 it's a super bowl a 50% chance of winning if you gamble on one of the teams. What? You know what I'm saying? If you just gamble on one of the teams winning, you got a 50% chance of winning, Mark. Oh, that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Soccer. Say what? Soccer. Because you could tie. Dumbass sport. Dumbass sport. I want to use another word, but it's an ad.
Starting point is 01:29:04 You could tie now. No, you can't tie not in a super bowl dove true okay let me tell you something about my bookie you use our promo code flagrant you're gonna get your first deposit bonus match up to a thousand dollars okay all you gotta do is go to my bookie.ag use our promo code flagrant mybookie.ag gamble win and spend that bread you're welcome you're well welcome real talk real talk you are welcome okay let's get back to the show people who got money got it for a reason sure it's not a lottery right like and these motherfuckers talk to other people who got money sure and they're just sharing game and it's not only like we look at like how like money gets consolidated amongst amongst the rich and like part of that is because like these people are just creating these insane
Starting point is 01:29:53 businesses and taking advantage of like this capitalist system right ourselves as well but other parts is like they're just sharing game with each other sure they oh this company's about to ipo nobody really knows you should get in now tons of that those conversations going around and like learning about these things like learning about these little like tax hacks all that kind of stuff is super valuable not just for you yeah but for your people that don't have access to that right so i think there's a lot of people who first get money and they're like a little bit insecure to like talk to people who have been established yeah who have it but like it's almost like our duty like i can't when i get like duval hit me the other day because i was talking about this shit that i found out about like the g wagons and duval was like man stop
Starting point is 01:30:34 giving up game and i'm like man i'm upset yeah i'm upset that i didn't know this shit nobody told me he goes they ain't tell you because you're gonna tell everybody and then they're just gonna make it harder for us to to access it right but it's like low-key i think it's kind of our responsibility to share that i don't disagree on sharing game or tips in that regards i think the the discussion is different when once you put numbers on it it feels different and i don't know about you but i always would you mean by that numbers on it like when like if you talk to somebody like oh you're like have you made a million yet ah yeah yeah yeah that's different you get what i'm saying because i know that crab in the bucket mentality i know that and i'm not even mad at it because when you're struggling struggling and you don't know
Starting point is 01:31:13 how to make it it's weird to see your mans all of a sudden got more money for like his family and everything yeah you know what i'm saying yeah and so i think that's what i worry that's not your homie though if he's upset that you're winning, that's not your homie. No, I don't disagree, but I do know. Y'all were struggle buddies. Yes, that's fair. And then you stopped struggling and then he was like, well, fuck this. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:31:35 That's fair. Yeah, your homie should be excited. And then, I don't know, literally I work with all my best friends. Like it's crazy. So it's just like, I don't know, those opportunities become plentiful. I think I have my friends who I can do that with, but I also know some folks who like the's crazy so it's just like and i don't know those opportunities become plentiful i think i have my friends who i can do that with but i also know some folks who like the struggle is so real and it's hard for them to accept like what you're doing when like they can't even make their next rent you know what i'm saying it's almost like you know what i mean yeah and it clouds their their judgment yeah and like also like i want to be able to help but how do i
Starting point is 01:32:02 do that in a productive way i can't just throw money on my partner because like sometimes that's just not enough right and you also don't want to make somebody dependent their pride so it's a hard thing to manage i think for me and money like i'm not really great with it in terms of like how to discuss it with people i'm great at keeping it i'm great at like saving it or investing that's fine but in terms of like sharing that idea and like i just still feel great insecurity around i'm fine i'm fine yeah i talk with people that got money. I discuss with it. Or people that know how to manage money.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Yeah. Like my mom is, I'm grateful to have a mom that worked in a bank. And she was managing wallets and stuff like that. So I talk to my mom with different things or other people that I know that they got something going on or some tips and shit. So I was very grateful and privileged to have that around me. So I do talk about it. That's luckily. With people who understand. But that's lucky, dude.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Just talking about poor people, it's not rewarding. You know what I'm saying? When I go to the bank... Just cut that. Just cut that right there. No, no, no. I go to the bank,
Starting point is 01:32:58 you know what I'm saying? And the guy's like, hey, we want to show you some new accounts. I was like, why? I was like, well, as our high-value client, I said, high value?
Starting point is 01:33:07 You thought I'm high value? But you know when you go to the bank. That's real. We went to the bank. I went there. Yeah, the manager comes downstairs. And then he goes, hi. What's the new girl?
Starting point is 01:33:15 Hi, sir. What can I help you with? Yeah, this and that and that and the third. She opened my account. Like, one moment. And then someone else comes next to her. Oh, hi, sir. Who the fuck is you?
Starting point is 01:33:25 She could do the transfer. She could. No, that's not stepping my... That's... Yeah, you start getting business cards at the asshole. Yeah, that's kind of weird. And you call me every time you want.
Starting point is 01:33:34 Yeah. I was waiting for the girl behind the teller to show me her pussy. Yeah. I was like, yo, let's get it popping. I heard Richie just get it like that. You just pull up to the bank just to check the account. That's it.
Starting point is 01:33:55 You go to the hottest teller. You be like, can you just tell me how much I got? You see that number? Okay. That's all you did. You know you can do that at a teller. Yeah, I know. But no, that is lucky though, man.
Starting point is 01:34:15 My parents, they weren't savvy. They made some good decisions. They purchased real estate because they didn't really understand investment and that kind of stuff. Their family didn't understand it. It wasn't like passed down. Like I have friends that that type of wisdom is just passed down from generation to generation. Like they understand investing and all these other things that like I just don't know. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:34 And so anytime that I get to talk to these people, I just remove all ego. And I'm like, yeah, please give me advice of what is – I wasn't – I didn't learn this stuff and I would love my kids to. Yeah. Because I'm starting to do it now in my 30s what if my kid can do it yeah when he's 24 yeah like shit you got a decade of and that's the thing they don't even interest to a crew they don't teach you that of course they don't teach i'll be i'll keep it a stack my family was super dysfunctional but there's one thing that mom taught me that i'm so grateful because even when she was absent a lot like she always said like learn to save your money she really like pushed that on me and to the point
Starting point is 01:35:08 like it terrified me to be in debt she scared the shit out of me with that yeah but the benefit of that is like that's one of the reasons i'm here today is like after i left the military i'd saved up enough money to do the artist lifestyle for like three four years so even though i was doing gigs here and there i was like slowly going into my savings to be able to sustain that but had i not learned those lessons then i wouldn't be here so the knowledge you get from the people above you yeah is paramount so for me obviously going in the next generation for my kids i want to make sure that they have that set up but also i want to do community initiatives where we're bashing on a lot of this information that seems hard to get when it's really not yeah you just need to hear it you just need to hear it to really understand it so
Starting point is 01:35:44 i always tell my mom like yo you know i made a lot of money i'm like you get a cut because you earned it yeah i mean yeah she did real time it feels good how much fun is it to tell your mom yeah how much you made well you saw me when i told her no at the show that's the first time she knew i did comedy what yeah when he put yeah when he told his mom to go he told his brother i didn't know that yeah someone i brought up on stage okay so they don't know the context so when we did that phrase that's the first show she didn't know i did comedy i didn't know i did youtube she didn't do anything yeah set the stage because these people don't know the show so we did it just for last show and there was like 15 000 people who were in attendance and what about like
Starting point is 01:36:23 three years in the game at that point in terms of doing stand-up specifically by the new it was an outdoor show the entire it may look like the president was getting put into office like it was the great lawn it was it was unbelievable yeah yeah that's yeah we'll talk about i bombed yeah but we'll talk about that after hey so the show's going on and I wanted two weeks out. I'm like, yo, I shouldn't invite my mom, but I didn't know how to tell her.
Starting point is 01:36:48 So I didn't. And so I'm like, listen, I'm graduating from university. She didn't even know I was going to school. She's like, you're going to school. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:36:53 yeah. Cause immigrant families, like there's a weird thing with doing the arts where they're just like, what are you doing? That's a waste of time. And that makes sense though. Like there's all this judgment for that, but it's just like,
Starting point is 01:37:02 imagine you just made it to America and you're giving your kids all this opportunity to go be a fucking lawyer, doctor or anything. They're like, I want to be a clown. Yeah. You're like, what?
Starting point is 01:37:10 Are you fucking kidding me? I risked everything so you could go fucking tell your jokes? Yeah. A hundred percent. Mine was worse. Not only was I a high school dropout, but from a Muslim family who joined the military during the Iraq war, I was disowned for a couple of years.
Starting point is 01:37:23 Yeah. Did you say you were stoned for a couple years? Yeah. I heard that. I heard that. Hold on. I heard that. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:37:31 Which side were you fighting for? Yeah. That was solid. Yeah. So my mom, I didn't feel comfortable telling her anything until it was solid.
Starting point is 01:37:42 But even when it became solid, I just had a hard time opening that door. I would just hand her a check every night. She's like, how'd you get that? I'm like, don't worry about it. She probably thought it was solid but even when it became solid i just had a hard time like opening that door i would just hand her a check every night she's like how'd you get that i'm like don't worry about it she probably thought it was drugs or something she didn't understand but i was like don't worry about it with your faith for sure so you know i said i wanted to tell her but i just didn't know how so i'm like let me just go big you know i'm gonna just bring her i asked my brother to help me out i told her i was going to school and it's graduating i want you to be at my graduate so she brought flowers and everything
Starting point is 01:38:06 and so she comes backstage she's confused you know she can't see the front stage but she can hear all the noise she's like you guys doing outdoor graduation i'm like yeah mom it's gonna be awesome this motherfucker and then i just uh at the one point during the show just before you came up i brought my mom up on and i'm like oh this is what i do mom and she goes oh she panics because she's never seen so many people and she doesn't know how to handle the stage thing yeah um but that was the first time we're gonna can you bring up the video just to set the stage for everybody at home i have a video of me walking on stage see what this fucking thing
Starting point is 01:38:45 looked like. I mean, this is insane. But yeah, and then we went backstage and we talked about it. Was she proud? She was beaming in her face. When I went backstage and after that, I saw her, she was looking at the screen, looking at you tell jokes and people were laughing. Hey, I was like,
Starting point is 01:39:01 oh man, that is... Because it isn't that they don't want you to do the thing in the arts They just want you to be successful That's it And it is absolutely It's like, they risked everything But it's like, the chances of being successful In this are like the chances of being successful
Starting point is 01:39:18 For them back home So they're like, why the fuck did I come over here? Like, you have security, you can access it But the second they see that it works yeah yeah they just want to know you're okay i didn't yeah there you go let me see let me see no no no no no no no it's the next one yeah yeah yeah there you go oh god there you go yeah god damn oh dude look at It's a block You can't see it but there's screens Over there
Starting point is 01:39:49 There's Al did a great job Yeah That was great I gotta give you a shout I mean look at that Are you kidding me My parents are in the VIP up there.
Starting point is 01:40:05 Rob Markman They can't watch it. They kick back. Rob Markman Yeah, but even then, just 50 minutes before the show, there was not that many people. 30 minutes before the show, there was not that many people. My mom was like, okay, yeah, there's about 5,000 people in front of them. Like, oh yeah, there's a nice little crowd. I don't know what happened at 8.45, 15 minutes before the show.
Starting point is 01:40:26 It's storming. It packed. And she was like, oh, okay. That's what he does, does. Wow. That's what he understood. And that's where my imposter syndrome dropped. Kicked in. No, it dropped.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Oh, you felt justified. It was like, it's real. I've been doing comedy and I've been an opener for my quad for a while now. and I've been an opener for my quad for a while now. And then when that happened after that show, I was like, I think that's what I do.
Starting point is 01:40:50 After that show, I was like, okay, I think we got something here. That was a fucked up show. That's funny because you guys put out a video saying like, I don't know if it's going to be a thousand people
Starting point is 01:41:00 or if it's going to be 15,000. What do you say? A thousand. A thousand. Yeah. I mean, I had no clue. I couldn't fathom that it would be that big. You guys weren't even that big back then. No, we weren't.
Starting point is 01:41:13 We were actually big in the city, but not outside. That's why they booked us. At the beginning, we were just doing things in the city, so we had a huge fan base there. Okay, that makes sense, but I was like, I mean, wow. It blew. And it was an interesting moment moment for me because you can't conceptualize being successful like for me i couldn't conceptualize being successful yeah i just did the work every day and i'm like if it
Starting point is 01:41:35 grows that's cool yeah but when you see a crowd like that yeah it's crazy that's stuff you see from like rock stars you get what i'm saying that shit that's like you see a c i've never done a comedy show like that ever again. I'm maybe in the future, but you know when you got to see Will City, it's a different feeling when you see a crowd, like a concert crowd. This is what musicians feel.
Starting point is 01:41:51 That was nuts. Yeah. I mean, it was just really nuts. It was like 10 minutes before the show we're in the backstage, right? And I'm just there focusing on my shit. And he probably just went to see the crowd stack up and he goes back to the backstage and he's like,
Starting point is 01:42:06 so who's this for? And I'm like, they came to see us. But it sounded so rude. Yeah, yeah, good, good, good. Let them know. Let them know. Let them know. And this motherfucker was like, this fucker, yeah, it's us.
Starting point is 01:42:19 I'm like, oh, my bad. It's not it, it's just, yeah, you came to it went yeah i had my machete eyes right sorry about that did you when was your first moment like that where's your first moment where you saw a scene and you're like okay hmm that's a great question where i saw an amount of people that made me feel that way maybe there's like maybe it's not even the amount of people but is there a moment where you're like this this is it not that it was it was two that kind of like crept on one another because i thought it was
Starting point is 01:42:57 serendipitous at first and then i realized it was because of something i put out okay and it was just after i released the first uh my first special on youtube i'd sold out a club and i thought it was just lucky and i was like oh maybe i would have sold that club out and then the next weekend i sold out another club and i was like wait i was like wait a minute is that because of the special and i remember asking the club what's going on yeah people have been saying that they watch you on youtube and i'm like really yeah like this is before youtube was even like a thing i mean it was russell peters of course don't get me wrong but like i didn't realize that that would actually translate and then the next club i sold out and i and it was those three events where i go
Starting point is 01:43:33 oh shit something's happening right now like whoa it's fucking happening and how exciting is that because it's so interesting like like you said like views on youtube are awesome and it's great but like there is a transformative experience when you walk in front of the people. When the people see those videos and then they go, I'm going to leave the house for you. Yes. Yeah, that shit hits different. It hits different.
Starting point is 01:43:55 There was a moment where when we started to do comedy, we did little shows, like 60 people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 60 people and everything. And then there's a video that got out and got really popular in Montreal. And we had a show
Starting point is 01:44:10 two weeks after. And I went to Abba and I was like, bro, we have to cancel the show. He was like, what the fuck are you talking about? We have to cancel the show. I don't want to refuse people
Starting point is 01:44:17 out the door. We're not canceling. We have to cancel the show. We have to. We have to get a bigger venue. We can't do that. Because it was too many. It was too small. It was going to refuse. I can't because it was too many it was too it was too
Starting point is 01:44:25 small it was gonna i don't want to refuse that many people yeah let's do this shit right let's have and that was like a precursor to all of this but yeah i remember and i was always terrified do you guys remember the clip that really went yeah it was a was a it was a very specific montreal thing yeah did you guys were talking about, joking about. Exactly, yeah. We did a comedic video on a racial issue that happened in the city and it blew up on Facebook. That's when we started Facebook.
Starting point is 01:44:53 So it was a different time. But I remember even early, I was terrified of taking on something too big too early. Even though we had a thousand people who could buy tickets, I'm not ready for a thousand figures. You know what I'm saying? I constantly doubted myself that that whole process we're not ready and then we jump from like 200 to 15 000 it's like what the fuck but the money was so good i couldn't say no you know what i'm saying when they put in the numbers like oh man that's the listen when you never get more
Starting point is 01:45:19 than a thousand dollars for a show yeah and a thousand dollars is big big big when you're struggling a thousand000 for doing a 15-minute performance, you'll take that, right? Oh, dude. Right? And you get them once every like six months.
Starting point is 01:45:31 You take that. You take that. Because you do open mics for $25, whatever. Nothing. Once every year. So I remember we walked to that negotiating table
Starting point is 01:45:36 and I said, Priest, let me take care of negotiating. So they're like, yeah, so we sent you guys a contract. What did you think? And I'm like,
Starting point is 01:45:43 yeah, we understand. Listen, we'll come back to you guys with a counter offer but we appreciate it so I sent them the number and I'll just say it was $30,000 yeah and then we come in the second time and we walk in
Starting point is 01:45:56 we sit down and they're like okay listen well we learned over the contract we like a lot of what you guys do we'll accept it and I swear to God I like kick preach and i went yeah we're just trying to keep a straight face so they don't know because when you've never made something like real money from from something you built when you make like a like a salary paycheck you know what i'm saying yeah you're just like nigga is this real yeah
Starting point is 01:46:28 is this real right because i just threw the number out there because i'm like i think we i was expecting to negotiate down they didn't negotiate down the first year was that 30 they said 24 yeah but i was like shit is amazing yeah what yeah i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe the number like this guy gets having it's just like it was such a big number and i realized like it was the first time like damn they just they just really fuck with us yeah don't pay for our shit because you don't believe anybody would pay that kind of money no and then you start doing brand deals later and you realize like oh this money's everywhere to be yeah but initially the first time i swiped i i went home i didn't tell nobody because at the time i still felt like a little weird but i just remember thinking like
Starting point is 01:47:13 oh this is something i think i think floyd mayweather said like the first hundred thousand he made was way more impactful than a hundred million yes and it's because that number for like you guys are saying it's like he couldn't fathom a hundred thousand dollars where he came from a hundred thousand dollars doesn't make sense it doesn't even make sense and it gets normalized i guess as you make it but that first time bro oh that first time i still can't spend past the salary that i've always had my whole life i'm just used to like you're like jay leno huh you're like jay leno i just i i just can't fathom be like okay i make this much i can't imagine spending that kind of money yeah so for
Starting point is 01:47:49 me it's still like a huge discomfort i feel with the whole thing um but i think i always said this if i could make a wife you'll get over it yeah i don't know we're very different on that women get comfy they get used to it yeah my girl was like was like, I'm going to be a home wife. And I'm like, no, you're not. I let her because she had my back for all those years. You know, she's been working for a bank for like. You got to reward that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:17 So I'm like, sure. Ride or die. Yeah, yeah. Because you were struggling. That was weird. Because now in a month, you make what you made in your whole life. That was a different thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:26 That doesn't make sense to me still. I see like YouTube numbers. Yeah. Sometimes I buy some shit and my girl's going to be like, can we afford it? And I'm like. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:36 No, don't get her too comfortable. No, no, no. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if we can't afford it this month. I don't know. Let me talk to Abba. See it this month I don't know Let me talk to Abbott
Starting point is 01:48:47 See how we're doing See how many more videos we're gonna make I don't know You let your wife see all the books? Yeah Yeah? You don't get worried since she like Grew up poor or whatever?
Starting point is 01:48:56 No She didn't grow up poor Married into some money She's gonna be watching at home like that's my boy no no no I think I don't know like I don't want to create a barrier right there like makes sense I think that if you feel like you have to create a barrier
Starting point is 01:49:16 right there there's already some distrust you mean hiding yeah like hiding that kind of stuff so you didn't do no prenup no see this is why Fresh and Fit came through called him a simp you didn't do no prenup no see this is why fresher fit came through called him a simp he didn't do a prenup no prenup i'm not mad at it did you do a prenup i'm not married technically but oh i definitely would but you can't though i can't no because you met her before you had the money right so if So if you do it, it's unethical.
Starting point is 01:49:45 Yeah. Yes, it is. Yeah. What the fuck you mean? Yes, it is. If she was shooting with you in the gym, you got to give her a cut. No, I don't. Well, it depends what that cut is.
Starting point is 01:50:00 You get, yeah. No, no, no. The contract is if you with me, you with me. If you not, you're not yeah the reason why i say that is because if she supported you when you was broke and she was paying the bills now when you made some money you can't cut her out you get what i'm saying 100 no no i agree with you on that i think that makes a lot of sense what you're saying but i just think that like the the you know the 50 50 you know you know if i'm shooting you rebound and that's like
Starting point is 01:50:27 how much you paid a rebounder you know i'm saying like how much you paid a rebounder if you're in the gym shooting did kobe give 50 to the rebounder yo bro exactly thank you if we're using the shooting the gym analogy now i i do believe that they deserve something and i think that getting that amount yeah provides a security but that's part of the prenup though or you you could do it in the prenup or you just do nothing and time will tell if i made the right decision or the wrong one right do you know what i mean and time will also tell if i get a post-nup so no but uh but yeah i don't know i feel like if you feel any economic distrust with the person you're about to spend the rest of your life with that's a problem that's a sign of concern yeah and i don't think you should get married in the first place i'm not mad at that now if you are
Starting point is 01:51:14 somebody that has if you're like fucking bezos or something like that and you've got like stupid stupid stupid money even if you feel no economic concern at all you're gonna because you could potentially be a mark i don't know if basil is that word i feel like you just pay somebody to kill the bitch yo real talk yes but also like if you're not having kids like what's the point yeah like you don't need to get remarried yeah like if you if you're having kids like that's another thing i think like if you bring kids into the picture bro bro, and you're raising my kids, what am I going to do? Leave you broke? That's some loser shit, yo.
Starting point is 01:51:48 That's some loser fucking shit. I'm going to have my kids. Actually, low key, it's like, uh-huh, daddy's house is fire. You know what I mean? Oh, why's your mom's house like that? That's crazy. It was cold? But that is some loser shit, in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:52:04 I'm not going to do that. Yeah. but like that is some loser shit in my opinion right yeah so like yeah if once once they give you kids man it's like they they gotta get it that's how i feel they gotta get a little something they gotta get a lot of something yeah i think i understand they gotta get a lot i i understand the general feel a lot of dudes like because they've seen the stories what happens in family courts or in divorce courts and they've seen the dudes being broken by a lot of stuff i understand the fear that a lot of people have yeah and i think some of it's very very very valid it is valid like nobody can look at that insecure guys uh beta whatever like you insult no i think like yeah it is it is a very difficult thing when you hear a story about a dude who gets cheated on the bitch moves in with the new nigga and then you still
Starting point is 01:52:44 kicks you out of your own house you still take have your shit yeah keeps the kids like damn is this fair like that's a terrifying thing because as dudes if we're gonna make that and we're gonna do that trust to find out it could get flipped on us because you felt some type of way and that's mad i told i told my wife i'll never pay uh what is that shit called alimony i said i'll never pay out What is that shit called? Alimony. I said I'll never pay. I'll go to jail before I pay. I'll gladly go to prison before I pay you to fuck someone else. Like, if I'm paying you, it's my pussy. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:53:17 Like, let's just keep it. It's my pussy. Do you know what I'm saying? It's my pussy. I'm paying. I'm paying. I'm paying. And then you out here going on dates and shit like that. Going on vacations. No, alimony is not for the kids.
Starting point is 01:53:33 Child support and alimony support. My kids are always going to get support. You don't even need to ask for that. Alimony is just paying because she was married to you. That's facts. Yeah, but the alimony goes to, well, you could separate it, but like the payment for the house that the kids are in.
Starting point is 01:53:48 Are you a lawyer? I think he's just Jewish. He said, he said, just Jewish. Nah, nah, that's crazy. That whole idea of alimony is crazy. It ends obviously if she remarries.
Starting point is 01:54:03 Say again? If she remarries, you don't pay out yeah but then you know that women not gonna remarry they're gonna stay with a boyfriend exactly she's not stupid that shit happens bro they just go boyfriend girlfriend because that dude also wants some nice little check coming in yeah that's crazy bro that's crazy so what's the rule is the person that is that's making the most money right who coughs up the alimony hell yeah britney spears was coughing up alimony and shit. Which is wild. Why is it wild?
Starting point is 01:54:27 Nah. What you mean? That's equality. No, that's equality. If the guy pays it, the girl pays it too. Yeah. No. If it's a fucked up system, we understand that alimony is fucked up. But if that's what we're doing, okay.
Starting point is 01:54:38 That's what we're doing. If the lady makes more money, then you pay alimony. Just pay child support. You guys have kids together. Take care of the kids. You should get a fucking job so that you can provide for yourself. The concept of alimony is already child support you guys have kids together take care of the kids you should get a fucking job so that you can pay for yourself we're not getting rid of that i disagree in this regard all right guys we're gonna take a break for a second because valentine's day is coming up and that dick needs to look beautiful how are you gonna make your dick look beautiful

Starting point is 01:56:26 Go get that right now. Your balls and lady will thank you. And let's get back to the show. I think when you get married, oftentimes there's oftentimes a demand from one of the partners to either leave their job, leave their careers, take more of the home stuff. So they're sacrificing a lot of their potential future earnings
Starting point is 01:56:40 by staying at home more often to support their marriage and their way while you're making your income and advancing your career. it doesn't make sense that in a divorce you're telling them bitch good luck well i had to sacrifice seven years of my work life i think that i think that makes 100 sense if you're if you're not working so you can take care of the kids if you're not working so you could just relax at home that's your choice like you could have kept working. Nobody said, I'm going to work.
Starting point is 01:57:06 Fuck you doing all day. Right? Like you're allowed. But if you, that's why I say kids changes the game. Kids, you got to make sure they're taken care of because they are sacrificing their career. They are sacrificing their life
Starting point is 01:57:14 and they deserve to be protected for that sacrifice. Right. So if you have kids, you're good. Okay. Like you are good no matter what. So you're paying alimony
Starting point is 01:57:21 if she gives you kids? Nope. He's just fixing the whole thing. Nope. I'm not paying alimony, bro So you're paying alimony if she gives you kids? Nope. He just fixed the whole thing. Nope. I'm not paying alimony, bro. I'm paying a lot of child support. And you could call that shit alimony, but I'm calling that shit child support. Hey, them kids are going to be supportive.
Starting point is 01:57:37 And you're going to be supportive supporting them kids. But I'm not paying you no fucking alimony. Hey, man, all feelings, no facts. That's it. No, no, 100%. Like like if we have kids you're gonna get taken care of no matter what and what i mean by that is like you won't even need alimony because you're gonna get a percentage of what i have okay like alimony is just ridiculous if you're just getting a fucking chunk i agree man you need more than the you need more than the chunk yeah
Starting point is 01:58:02 that's crazy bro it's like it's like Dr. Dre divorces his wife. His wife gets $100 million, and she's like, but I also need you to give me $50,000 a month. For what? She said shopping, bro. For what? Shopping. Was she justified? Wouldn't you go to jail?
Starting point is 01:58:15 She wasn't even trying. No. I don't know. I don't know if it's delusion or when you get a certain point rich, you get all fucked. I don't know what it is. I'll tell you what it is. Because, no, no. It's my pussy. It's my pussy. Please do it as a
Starting point is 01:58:31 full Italian. It's my pussy. Why? Why do you need so much money to suck other dicks? It's my pussy if I pay the money. I could see myself going to Italy and then like going to a pizza shop. I'm like,
Starting point is 01:58:46 yo, what's this sauce? All this talk about alimony and child support, man. Shout out to all the poor people watching at home, man. Shout out to all the poor people watching at home. Who yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah all right what y'all think about uh jeff bezos did you hear about this shit the boat the boat
Starting point is 01:59:13 yeah the boat is actually quite interesting because he's being positioned like he's this you know like bond villain because basically uh to put it in perspective he had this uh basically the headline is like jeff bezos is having a bridge uh deconstructed to move his boat through historic bridge historic bridge right uh yeah new bridge is getting no love yeah don't be like a 2000 bridge fucking pronouns and shit you know real talk so you're having a bridge getting deconstructed yeah basically so that the the boat can pass through right and i saw the headline of the story and i'm like man this shit sounds super fishy because one why would anybody be on a fucking yacht in the netherlands in february like that's just not yacht weather and then i found out that the company that's building the yacht is in the netherlands they agreed to build it you know exactly how big
Starting point is 02:00:06 that fucking yacht was supposed to be and you knew that it wasn't going to pass through that bridge so then he said i'll pay for the bridge to be taken down and be put back up the guy's paying 450 million for the boat plus i'm sure millions to take down the bridge and put it back up how is anybody angry at this the other thing is they've deconstructed the bridge like three or four times in the past see these motherfuckers that's the shit The other thing is they've deconstructed the bridge like three or four times in the past. See these motherfuckers? That's the shit that they do. So they've been doing it.
Starting point is 02:00:28 And then I think they made a declaration in 2018. They're like, we'll never do it again or some shit like that. All these super yachts are made in the Netherlands. Like the whole town gets employed from it. He's injecting half a billion dollars into the economy. By the way, that historic bridge, I'm sure when they rebuild it, it's probably safer than it was 100%. And they probably let the Nazis use that shit.
Starting point is 02:00:50 Probably fucking Nazis on that bridge. The Freedom Convoy passing through. Well, wait a minute. I think we're making different arguments. No, but for real, that's the bridge Tom Hanks was shooting his pistol
Starting point is 02:01:05 at them you don't remember that what's that movie reference Saving Private Ryan that was the last shot in Saving Private Ryan I was drinking beer that was the last shot
Starting point is 02:01:14 I don't know why I believe that shit that's so stupid you're Chris Hansen but for Muslims bro that's fucked up why do we care about that shit what's the outrage we hate rich motherfuckers that's what
Starting point is 02:01:27 it is they use their wealth yeah i think it's wrong they use their wealth and try to throw it around to bully little people and governments who is he bullying that's what the perception that can't use the bridge and they're touching something historic employed by it no i know you know this but like we make it look like he's's he's actually you know what this is just white people being inconvenienced This is white Karen's bro. This is just Karen's being Karen's well, you know your bridges down figure it out, bitch You know I'm saying just get up you can't swim Do we even know if the Dutch people were even matter it was someone else had heard the story and yeah, this is Americans Yeah, this is oh my god. What are you doing? Oh my god?
Starting point is 02:02:01 This is Americans for sure. This is us. Oh my God. What are you doing? Oh my God. Like, who does that? You're American. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:09 Fucking who? Like, shut up. Shut your whore mouth. Why are we so upset? No, shut your whore mouth. That's great,
Starting point is 02:02:18 bro. I knew that recording. Anytime you girl ask for alimony, bro, shut your whore mouth. No, you have to roll the H. Shut your whore mouth no you have to roll the H shut your whore mouth
Starting point is 02:02:27 whore mouth I will say though I remember seeing the headline and I saw the picture of like Jeff on a yacht he's like in his shorts with his girl I didn't really care about the story but I just thought do rich niggas take steroids yes
Starting point is 02:02:43 I'm like how do rich niggas take steroids? Yes. Yeah. They be right. I'm like, how do you bald and like so insane? The good ones. The good stuff. And you're running like multi-billionaires? The good stuff that don't make your day. They take the peptides that they inject. The NAD. Because I mean, my man's looking yoked, right?

This is the perfect inspiration for feelings, no facts. Mark, hit us with some feelings, no facts immediately because we're on it right now.
Starting point is 02:07:19 Remember, we're going red pill, feelings, no facts. Okay, feelings, no facts at all. No facts at all. no facts just feelings all right so there was a girl that claimed that she was uh raped in the metaverse jesus christ what you just said feelings gang rapes not just next story to try to cancel motherfuckers god damn next story all right all right so the way there's this netflix documentary called the tinder swindler ah yes we were talking about this
Starting point is 02:07:54 earlier yeah that's my dude okay i don't know anything about it okay no basically this guy went on tinder and defrauded women that he met he's out there in europe thousands hundreds of millions yeah so here's what's interesting just in context so it's basically this netflix documentary it's out right now of course none of us have seen it but we're going to talk about it and basically what he did is he's a dude in europe and he was basically dating these girls and getting like borrowing money from these girls to just ball out for other girls yeah so he had like like a like a bernie madoff little situation going where he's just taking from this girl and then taking private jets with that girl
Starting point is 02:08:27 and just keep running. What I think is so funny about it is when there's a story of a man who takes advantage of women and uses them for their money, it gets a documentary. Like that is how shocking this is. Same for me.
Starting point is 02:08:44 That Netflix is like, we need to print this story and let everybody know who this is when you could make the argument that this is a common practice out there in the world for uh some ladies to gold dig on rich dudes yeah he's just having this city girl moment i'm not mad at him no we call that life it's just like it's just that's the dude no no i'm gonna say this so i i i this is an old story this happened like 2015 so i was on youtube watching like videos about this and and the funny thing that had me rolling was these women who were like i was convinced he was a rich man so i just i gave him fifty thousand dollars he took me on a yacht they took me on a plane so i trusted the wording of that shit. I was convinced
Starting point is 02:09:26 he was a rich man. Right. And he's like, he hit me up one day and he's like, listen, I'm having issues with my credit card. If you can just front me the money, I'll be down to pick you up in my jet next week. But I just needed to pause it. And the girl's like, I had no reason not to believe him. He was so charming and elegant. And he, the facade he put on, the clothes he wears, the hotel,
Starting point is 02:09:42 the limousines he used, the scam was genius. But it's just something funny about these girls thinking they found themselves a big fish and they're like i'm settled for life and then carpet came out underneath them the the look on their face when they found out crazy beautiful wow beautiful because you never hear about it so it's just kind of like it's a nice change of pace you feel me yeah yeah i enjoyed it it's a change of pace. You feel me? Yeah. I enjoyed it. It's a change of pace. It's crazy that he did to me what I wanted to do to him. I was fucked up. I'm like, shut up.
Starting point is 02:10:10 Shut your whore mouth. Just kidding. But yeah, this guy's a master swindler. He did stuff in Israel, went to jail for it, and then after he got out went to Europe started defrauding all these women his commitment to the game is what I'm impressed by I mean he's rolling with high stakes and if you're pulling it off in Israel's that he was doing and got caught he's like that's
Starting point is 02:10:36 the NBA and then he's going to Finland pick up games at the sixth grade basketball court at that point. Easy. It's easy. Easy. That's funny. Shout out to him. What's the guy's name?
Starting point is 02:10:49 Do we know? He has many. Simon. Simon Laveve was like the main name that they use in the documentary. But his name's Shimon. Juliet. Yeah. Some last name I can't pronounce. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:11:00 Some shit like that. And did you watch the documentary? Yeah. Last night. Was it crazy or what? I put it at 1.5 speed because it was so good that I was like, I need to know what happens. It's so good. Yeah?
Starting point is 02:11:09 Did they show the girls? Were they hot? Yeah, there's three girls that they show. They were hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Really? Also, they were like mid-30s.
Starting point is 02:11:17 They were professionals. Like mid-30s. So that was like seven years ago. So white women age like bread. So they don't look good now when you interviewed them but back then they were hot what type of bread

Starting point is 02:11:40 Wonder Bread shit yeah those women were smoking. Like, you watch the old videos of them? They were hot. Really? Shut up.
Starting point is 02:11:48 You have to go for women, like, who are about to hit their peak and, like, peter out because they had money in the bank. He couldn't go for 20-year-olds. So he's picking young, like, professionals that were established, had good careers. Very smart. Ah, smart. Because you saw the way those women dressed. They were dressed in classy, right?
Starting point is 02:12:03 They asked for it. Is that what you're saying? They were asking for it, dressing like that? No, this is not the metaverse what oh sorry dude oh sorry dude my bad can you imagine being in the metaverse and being raped by a dude who sounds like fucking can you imagine staying there for the other guys just take off the fucking oculus right i'm not going front i'm ready for like virtual reality sex what do you mean i mean i've tried virtual reality stuff and i'm like i wouldn't mind because you know they're already doing surgeries where they some motherfucker puts his hand in a glove and he's in like united states and there's somebody in like india who needs a heart transplant and the surgeon's doing it remotely

Open your whore mouth. Now, that virtual reality sex is going to be crazy because a lot of dudes are going to give a catfish, and they're not going to care.
Starting point is 02:13:43 No, they're not. And that's the thing that's going to be interesting like that's what i'm curious about the metaverse do we really start all right do we really start letting people identify however they want to identify when you're getting head from some fine girl right it actually is a dude right in albuquerque right but his avatar is super fine are you gonna go he identifies as that I got head from a girl now do we accept people identifying whoever they want
Starting point is 02:14:11 when it benefits us when we're getting our dicks up from the people we want that's the key that's the way I feel that way about trans people like if you didn't know and you busted like what's the issue don't ask don't busted, what's the issue? Don't ask, don't tell.
Starting point is 02:14:26 Yeah. Stop talking so much. Wait a couple of years. Is that what your message is? Wait a couple of years and you're going to be good. All right. So wait. I mean, I had this whole joke about that. I was like, there's no issue once they're hot.
Starting point is 02:14:40 That is true. People are going to go for it, bro. Yo, you don't want a newly scooped out pussy bro bro you ever see come on dog you telling me you don't want that new shit we could move right along with the next one i'm just saying bro that you got you could buy some old house yeah you know have you seen images a new development They gotta do a pin my ride but for trans

Starting point is 02:16:00 they just talk with so much certainty about shit they know nothing about what did you want to tell her you not been through what did you want to tell her say it i didn't say nothing i i was just like i wanted to say shut up you know i mean like shut your whore but she was like trying to school me on like politics and geopolitics and like understanding the afghan what was she saying she didn't know what she was talking about how do you know i know because i know less i know a little bit more than her but i also know i don't know what she was talking about. How do you know? I know because I know a little bit more than her, but I also know I don't know enough. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:16:30 One thing that ages taught me, especially being around some of these, I don't know nothing. Yeah. Right? The more you know, the less you know. Yeah, yeah. But when you're young, you just don't know.
Starting point is 02:16:40 So they just be yapping and yapping and yapping and they think it's insightful. It's like, I'm past the age where listening to this is worth the pussy yeah you fuck no let's get to the good part you know she wouldn't throw you no pussy once a girl don't want to fuck you like why is she talking about afghanistan right like if a girl Once a girl don't want to fuck, you're like, why is she talking about Afghanistan? Right? Like, if a girl's willing to fuck, you be listening to that shit.
Starting point is 02:17:10 Yeah, we got to stop that. And the poppy. And, yeah, it's horrible. The geopolitics. You just nodding your way into some pussy, bro. It's all good, dog. That's what happens when you get older. The pussy don't mean as much. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:19 It don't. It don't mean as much. But I sidetracked this. Oh, my bad. No, no, no. This is important. I want you to get this out. Oh, I got it.
Starting point is 02:17:24 That's just, young women just gross me out man that's good like i know they'd be saying like yo 18 18 18 and like they look good don't get me wrong like right you know but then you gotta sit down and like they gotta talk yeah when they talk yeah i just can't bear with it so that's why i'm always impressed by other dudes like endurance oh to put up with it yeah dove can put up with the best this guy's ability to change his iq for the girl he's talking to is unbelievable dude i've seen it happen in real time i've seen him like approach at like like a you know moderate to high iq that's a smart guy you know he's a very smart guy yeah and like i've seen him approach moderate to high and then reduce like
Starting point is 02:18:00 30 fucking iq points right to like smells right like It's just like we're just talking about smells and it's just like oh is that your perfume? And then she's like yeah how'd you guess? And he's like oh I know this one and she's like oh yeah I like that one and it's literally just like five senses bro. He just goes to the five senses. Touch, smell, see
Starting point is 02:18:20 right? You're like what's your favorite colors or whatever and then yeah I like colors yeah very good food is good yeah hold up doug what do you do when they want to show you tiktok videos no that's just fine i do that all day you know what i do oh my god look at this latest dance i'm like oh my you know what i do show you, bro. I show them Schultz's 28 million on TikTok. I'm like, oh yeah, we're on the TikTok too. Run by a 19-year-old Shifty. Shouts to Shifty, bro.
Starting point is 02:18:54 Shifty does our TikTok. Shouts to Shifty. He's killing that shit. You comment. Every once in a while. Actually, no, I don't even think I'm signed into my TikTok. If I'm being honest. Don't root it for the fans.
Starting point is 02:19:04 Cut that shit out. Cut that shit out. Cut that shit out. Hey, guys, it is what it is. Enjoy the content. Okay, give us another one. All right, they asked T-Pain what he thought about Black History Month. Okay. And this is what he had to say.
Starting point is 02:19:18 All right, actually, the question is more specific. He said, how should white people celebrate Black History Month? Any insight, all right, for how white people can properly celebrate Black History Month the right way? Stop celebrating. I don't think we should celebrate Black History Month. I think we should just have history. I don't think we should. They overshot it.
Starting point is 02:19:37 We don't want our own shit. You're separating us again. We want to be part of history, not just one month of it. So, yeah, that's what he said. I don't think we should celebrate black history more. This should just be history. I didn't know Bane had an opinion on that. What do you think, Al?
Starting point is 02:19:54 He sounds like me with that steak line just before. You thought it was good? And I was like, fuck. Yeah, I think my experience and preachers experience a bit like especially mine i i grew up a large part of my life in ethiopia so even like identifying as black was a bit of a weird thing because i just identified as like ethiopian yeah my blackness was never really something i considered because i was everybody's norm yeah right so it wasn't until i immigrated to north america that i understood what like the color of my skin meant within a greater
Starting point is 02:20:24 context of a society yeah so i think then I became more sensitive to like okay that's why black folks have this initiative or they have this going on like I understand the need for for something like this yeah so I don't get too mad at it I think for me it's like I've heard this rhetoric it's nothing new we hear this like every year pretty much my personal take on is like if if black folks aren't bothered if i can't see any negative then i'm cool with it i don't know why it's like uh i don't know why people get so up in arms and being bothered by like you could teach it every year it's like yeah you can't teach it every year and you could also highlight it
Starting point is 02:20:59 this year and this specific month doesn't mean you have to stop learning about it later on so that's my thoughts on it i mean if it can just prevent people to be my position where i'm in the whole i'm in the sorry i'm in the all white elementary school and then they talk about slavery and everybody turns around i'm the only black kid in the fucking room it's like they're not talking about history they talk about me ah is that what happened bitch i don't know i wasn't there yeah it's like so if they can have a month whenever they talk about black history or black people i always talk about they always talk about slavery can we talk about other people and everything else like the before like if it can prevent that from happening
Starting point is 02:21:43 not just the tragic not just tragic moments it's just like same thing with movies oh that's a good movie what's that movie about you know slaves yeah well you can't exactly criticize yeah so if we could highlight the good that's cool cause we don't get highlighted that's pretty much it as a comic you know what it is corny though every time
Starting point is 02:21:59 black history month I can be putting on all kinds of lines it's Christmas if you want to make some extra money it's kind of cool but like I be getting booked on all kinds of lineups. It's Christmas. Yo, if you want to make some extra money, it's kind of cool, but I'd be getting booked on all kinds of crazy shows. I'm like, oh, it's this month again. And the same venue. My paycheck all of a sudden look a little bit different. And the same venues a couple months before, like, oh, we already have a black comic book.
Starting point is 02:22:16 Yeah. You know what's weird about that? Especially with comedy is like, yeah, February, you get all the shine you want. But I remember, like, I don't know. Comedy is weird because I asked comedy clubs, like, yeah, why is the lineup like this? And I've heard so many club owners say, like, I don't know like comedy is weird because i asked comedy clubs like yeah why is the lineup like this and i've heard so many club owners say like i don't want to have more than one black comic on the lineup they've just said that oh yeah yeah yeah it's just in canada no remember what we were talking about how could i tell you whatever we had here they
Starting point is 02:22:39 have had here as well maybe just a couple years back but i've heard that i've heard that enough times and even speak to older comics they'd hear stuff like that but i never heard that in french comedy though because they don't want to turn it to an ethnic night in english comedy i heard that yeah but in french comedy i don't hear that interesting what i heard though is like oh yeah maybe some people don't get uh accepted in uh comedy school which is a concept that they have in quebec yeah and all this cute thing is too too ethnic but But that happened to one of my buddies. But other than that, yeah. Wow, that's interesting.
Starting point is 02:23:08 They're just so blatantly honest about it. I mean, I'm sure it's the same thing here in the States for some life. I think that they would do it, but they just wouldn't say it like that. There's almost a comfort in saying it like that, because now you know it's not your comedy that's fucked up. It's their racism. Yeah. Whereas before that, they'll just be like,
Starting point is 02:23:23 sorry, you're not funny enough. And now you got to walk around around going but i'm funnier than these motherfuckers why are they saying i'm not funny enough i think it's same outcome but at least you know it's not something you can control i noticed what rich people get comfortable yeah they start talking crits like really yeah because like nothing can affect them if they really feel like nothing can affect them they'll just say what they think and And they might have some crazy thoughts. Like how many of those NFL owners, amongst other NFL owners, say the wildest things about athletes? Right? Like you remember that prison comment that that one NFL owner said?
Starting point is 02:23:57 He said, we have the inmates running the asylum or whatever. And that sounds crazy. Imagine what they're saying when you're not around with the newspapers, when they're just talking to staff. That's why when these NFL coaches come out and they say, this owner said this or this owner said that or they told me like yeah i don't want too many black players i want to bounce i believe it yeah i don't think a coach has ever said i don't want too many black players no i don't think it's ever happened in the history of integrated i bet you though yeah before the integration of black players became super common there's definitely coaches or owners who would have liked to see a lot of white f-load players oh i mean before like it was the winning ticket to get black folks utah jazz has still got white people and it's like i think that there's
Starting point is 02:24:33 by design here right it's like the only team that's got multiple white people right yeah so like something's going on we have we've always had that at least jazzy team the least jazzy team and for the Canadians kind of have that same thing where they absolutely want the coach to speak French which has nothing to do with the fucking game but they absolutely want the fucking coach to be French
Starting point is 02:24:58 he's not a Quebecer they're really adamant about that that language shit is weird so they'd rather have a shittier coach yes but he speaks french but he speaks with the players too right like they want all the players we have same thing yeah see i don't i don't respect that yeah because you're just not competitive enough like let's win you should want to win identity is more important than winning because for them to maintain their identity is a win i'm'm serious. Deadass. Yeah. How about this?
Starting point is 02:25:25 How many times you heard someone say, I don't care how much money my kid's partner makes. I just want them to be the same culture. For them, the identity is more important than the quality of the partner. In Quebec, you're Quebec first, Canada second. 100%.
Starting point is 02:25:42 Akash will sit here and tell you, right? Like, he had to get a brown girl. And his parents probably wanted that for him. He could have gotten, like, I don't know his wife. I'm not saying anything like that. But, like, let's say if there was, like, a woman that much kinder, much better, whatever. Yeah. His parents still would have wanted him to go with the brown girl.
Starting point is 02:25:58 Because identity matters more. Interesting. Yeah. It's like that. Identity or culture? That's just a form of identity different identity right right your race your culture your income status whatever it is those are just different forms of identity yeah yeah i guess that makes sense shit well here's okay feel there's no facts maybe we talk about aquafina then yeah so like aquafina is this actress you've seen her in
Starting point is 02:26:23 shang chi and a bunch of other movies, Crazy Rich Asians. And she keeps on getting criticized for using a black scent. She's an Asian actress. She's half Korean, half Chinese. Friend of mine, we did back in the day, Girl Code, I think it was together. And she just keeps on getting criticized for using this black scent. And well, first of all, what do you guys think about it? Is it her accent? so here's the thing when you're from new york she's from new york she's from queens
Starting point is 02:26:52 so it's like like who you know but you know and see that's the thing that maybe you guys understand as like uh canadians but like black people that are from canada because like you guys have an accent from your part of Canada like y'all sound like you're from Quebec it's different than when you're from Toronto and the Toronto accent just popped up like a year ago like these motherfuckers sound like they were from New York
Starting point is 02:27:15 five years ago and now all of a sudden ting ting ting everything is ting ting yo yo yo yo yo Everything is ping-ping, right? Yo! Yo, Wasteman.
Starting point is 02:27:25 Yo, Wasteman, man. And I get it. I'm a defense. They've been saying that. They've been saying that, but that was mainstream. But he's been on that thing. Because I hate Toronto, so keep going. No, I love Toronto.
Starting point is 02:27:35 I love Toronto. But it feels like they're adopting an identity. Like, if you listen to Tory Lanez talk, he talks, he's from New York. What do you say, my guy? Every once in a while, you see that thing. from new york what do you say my guy every once in a while you see that so but i think that they're adopting identity that are from the influential cultures that are in the city right and that's what we all do right so if you grow up in new york yes you're gonna code switch i'm gonna speak one way around my parents and one way around my friends yeah and i think that we all do that
Starting point is 02:28:02 the crazy thing about her and why i always defend her is it's like what accent you want her to have yo she gotta have an asian accent is that what you want or you she gotta talk white what you're basically saying is hey you gotta talk white and the reality is she grew up in queens maybe grew up with more black folk than she did white folk and that's going to be the people that influence her accent the most right if if she grew up in queens bro i know she's around i tell her this all the time i'm like yo that's yours you're a product of this city don't let anybody tell you how you can or can't talk now here's the thing i do understand the frustration and we were talking to our boy derrick post and opens up on on the road for us and i and he was bringing up this point i understand the frustration of black people where he's like yo if i quote unquote black scented up i'm scary or dangerous to people
Starting point is 02:28:51 when other cultures lean in it's endearing or funny it's funny that this asian girl has a blacker quote unquote but we would call this a new york accent but if you're not from new york it's a black accent like that is all of a sudden comical, right? So it's like, I understand that frustration. If you're black, you're going, yo, why when I do this shit, it's fucked up and dangerous. And when this Asian girl does it, it's hilarious. Yeah, but that's just, comedy's weird like that.
Starting point is 02:29:20 Yeah. It's not precise. But besides that, yeah, she's from Queens. It's like that yeah it's not it's not precise but besides that um yeah she's from queen she she it's like that people it's not asian people that speak like that it's people from queens that speak like that yeah i mean that's a lot didn't will vicky get the same treatment well nikki well vicky no vicky yeah yeah whatever where is she from i'm pretty sure she's from like houston or some shit but that's her accent right from what i know so my thing is this i might be i might be a little cat yeah i don't know i'm pretty sure that's her accent but um the main thing i was gonna say is i think it just comes
Starting point is 02:29:53 down to the context i understand the struggle i understand where the hurt comes from whether it be with the braids and the box braids and everyone's switching up the names of the hairstyles because the white girl put on i get that yeah but we can't throw away context because you feel that outrage you gotta understand like there's an individual on the other side of that that you don't know that you are crediting to uh a group think or a group idea which is the same issue that you have being dealt to you you get what i'm saying you're being marginalized you're being pigeonholed when you speak a certain way and now you're making and you're pigeonholing someone else removing their identity yeah their individualism right or the place that they grew up in or all that and just putting them in the people who are like appropriating your culture no that's
Starting point is 02:30:31 her culture yeah right so you can't just meet with that and again that comes back to the rogan thing earlier where it's like people don't want to take the time to go beyond the two minute clip that they saw or anything like that to do a simple google church to learn about folks they don't have the energy yeah they just saw her they'd heard her speak and they went she's part of that yeah i think the solution is not punishing someone for like you know being a part of it it should be trying to create a more accepting society that doesn't feel uncomfortable when black people talk black yes you know what i mean yeah like it's the same thing with like cornrows like when a black woman wears cornrows in the workplace it's unprofessional she can't wear hair like that when david beckham does it wow look how cool this guy is yeah i don't think we should punish david beckham for wearing
Starting point is 02:31:10 cornrows i think we should accept black women yes and i understand black people's frustration with that but it's easier to punish one person than to try to make a whole society change that's true that's true so you're taking out that frustration on that one part they become the figurehead for your frustration i'm gonna make to make you feel how society made me feel. Made me feel, yeah. I don't know how it was. And that's a human interaction. Sorry to cut you.
Starting point is 02:31:29 That's just like this knee-jerk thing that we do. And we can not be proud of our behavior. We can do fucked up things and recognize it. But I do understand the impulse to be critical. You're just like, what the fuck? I've been doing this shit and it's a problem. They do it and it's celebrated. But I like what you guys are saying. At least you have the context to go like, this shit and it's a problem they do it and it's celebrated but i like what you guys are saying at least that you have the context to go like that's where she's from
Starting point is 02:31:49 that's how the fuck she talks yeah because if she spoke in an asian accent nobody would be upset about it even though it wouldn't be natural for her right nobody would say a single fucking thing because she's conforming to our idea of what it should be rather than yeah which is kind of which would that that's fucked up that is that is that we, no, you should speak like that. I don't want to be that guy, but I'm like, aren't you going to do the same thing? Yeah. How about this? A black person grows up in the suburbs, speaks, doesn't speak like they're from the hood.
Starting point is 02:32:17 They get on television, speak the same way. Everyone starts looking at them funny. Why are you trying to be white? No, it's the environment. It would be weird if I hear some guy who grew up in a gated community. It's like when I hear these rappers who grew up in gated communities talk about, oh, we're shooting through keypads and all this stuff. Nigga, you live behind a gate. Why are you talking about thug life?
Starting point is 02:32:35 That's not you. That's inauthentic. That's the issue. But you being true to yourself and talking about stuff that's real for you, now you're being white. But I get this all the time. Yeah. I get that all the time because in French, I don't know how Aquafina got brought up and everything and stuff.
Starting point is 02:32:50 My parents came here and they understood what having an accent and what not bothering people. And so my parent, I was not allowed to speak Creole with my parents. I was allowed to speak Creole with my aunts and my mom. Extended family, but with your parents French. No, it was French.
Starting point is 02:33:07 Because they wanted you to be nice and French. No, because they understood that the importance of having a good French, right? And when I step on, when I step and interview sometimes and I speak French with the interview, which is a French Quebecer, I speak Quebecer, which is different type of French with its accent. L'accent va être différent. Ça peut être un accent genre de la France. What I said was the accent is going to be different.
Starting point is 02:33:29 It's not going to be like an accent from France. Right. My black followers are like, why are you trying to be white? I grew up like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If I went to school and speak with a Creole accent, I would get beat. If I go back home and I speak with a Quebecer accent, not a proper accent, proper, quote, unquote, I would get beat. So I code switch all the time.
Starting point is 02:33:51 That's what I do. It's not because you have different accent. It's also part of who I am. It's part of who we all are. A highly intelligent social individual is going to have these different codes that they can speak with. If you're speaking in one specific way, you go go talk to your priest you're going to do the exact same thing as you talk to your friends yeah no you're going to change certain words and you're going to change certain tones all that kind of stuff but your mom is my mom's from scotland
Starting point is 02:34:14 when she's with her family that scottish accent pops out and you're and you're and you're not it don't pop out she's just being fake yeah she's fucking fraud yeah you're not you're not New York you're not 50% 50% you're 100% and that's all you are like I can also be all that and all that she can be Asian wherever the hell she from and also from Queens
Starting point is 02:34:37 and be part of that and that makes who she is but the thing is people want a clear distinction of what all you're like that you're at that yeah the asian satisfy my feelings yes you should satisfy my feeling it's selfish and i don't understand how you then it's fake it's not like that it's not exactly like that but whatever again i think it goes back to the whole thing we're trying to cope with this influx information these new faces these new people and we don't have enough time to see them as individuals.
Starting point is 02:35:07 So we place them in groups so we can understand them. Yeah. I think a lot of these issues, whether it's misinformation, all this stuff, it's just a reflection of the new technologies that we're absorbing, that our brains and our... We're not meant to see millions of people. We're not meant to scroll and see a different person.
Starting point is 02:35:24 Our brains have a hard time internalizing all this stuff and so we're having like these malfunctions where we're having almost like inhuman responses to other human beings but it's impossible to be empathetic yeah to be kind to be understanding with millions of people that you're seeing all the time yeah so you have to filter all that shit and put it in a box exactly make it quick for you to process exactly an. Asian, you have to speak. What? Here's an example. Here's an example. I'm walking down the street and this is how I do something to you.
Starting point is 02:35:49 Like you see somebody, they look threatening. You're just going to assume that about them. You're going to profile them, right? You're going to act accordingly, right? If I see a bald white dude with like tattoos and I think he's a skinhead,
Starting point is 02:35:58 I'm going to just move accordingly, right? Oh, that's who you were imagining? Yes, that's all. Yeah, yeah, that's what scares me imagining? Yes. That's all. Yeah, that's what scares me. Me too. Me too. Me too.
Starting point is 02:36:10 Fucking trucking. Yeah. Freedom convoy is coming through. So you do that, but you have to imagine we aren't built for that because if you go back a long time, you had your village, you had your neighborhood. Yes. And you knew everybody there. It wasn't normal to walk across somebody who looked threatening because you knew everybody and if they weren't there everybody's like yo who's that walking through our street yeah so we have to also acknowledge that everything has
Starting point is 02:36:32 changed so fast and we haven't adapted exactly yeah exactly white people are good can i ask you one question yes miles go what if someone takes a new york accent what if they don't have it happens i have a i have a prime example. Who's that? Canada's most handsome man, Ryan Gosling, has a New York accent. Has a New York accent, yeah. New Yorker. Not New Yorker.
Starting point is 02:36:52 He's Canadian. He grew up wanting a tougher accent, so he started copying Marlon Brando as a kid. How do you feel? Is he stealing your culture? No, that is different. He's appropriate. But if you're someone who lives in New York for a extended period of time, you're just going to speak like us.
Starting point is 02:37:06 It's just what it is. It's like- How many years? Not only is it cool. Yo, I bet you if we were in the South, if I lived in the South for fucking- You don't have it, Dwayne. Three, I'm going to start having Southern- Dude, when we were in Miami, I bet I started saying bro more.
Starting point is 02:37:18 Bro, you were Cuban. Yeah, bro. You were Cuban for four months, bro. I am a Cuban. I am Cuban. You were Cuban. I am Cuban, dude. How many Cubanos did you eat?
Starting point is 02:37:27 The overrated sandwich. I didn't eat not one fucking Cubano. I don't do that shit dude uh-uh yeah i get you that sandwich is poor everything about that sandwich is it should be wrapped in plastic yeah that is a poor fucking sandwich they brought their communism food yeah they're not allowing that shit leave it bro Nobody trying to eat that. It's ham and pork. Yeah. Double up. What's going on, dude? If you understand the food situation in Cuba,
Starting point is 02:37:55 you can't be too mad at them. It's the best they could do. Yeah, but they're here now. Cuban food's fire. What are you talking about? Nah, all Caribbean food is made. Have you been to Cuba? Only Caribbean food is as good as Jamaican. Low key.
Starting point is 02:38:08 Say that again. Only Caribbean food is as good as Jamaican. What the fuck did you say? Only Caribbean food is as good as Jamaican. Get the fuck out of here. What is Haitian food? What is Haitian food? You don't even know what the fuck it is.
Starting point is 02:38:20 That's your fault. Talk that shit. That's my fault? Step it up. What is it? Step out? There's Haitians all over this bitch. What the fuck do you mean?
Starting point is 02:38:30 What the fuck do you mean? Whoever said, yo, let's go to Haitian food tonight. What the fuck? Name a Haitian restaurant. Mini Melou. Shout out to you guys in Montreal. Yo, c'est passé, bro. Come on, c'est passé.
Starting point is 02:38:42 C'est passé. What the fuck do you mean? Name one in New York. I don't eat that shit. You don't eat that shit. You don't eat that shit. Name a dish. Name a Haitian dish. Nobody eats that shit. Nobody eats that shit.
Starting point is 02:39:05 This guy's crazy, bro. I know, I know. He's a fucking gangster. Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:16 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:16 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:16 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:17 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:17 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:17 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:18 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:18 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:18 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:19 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Starting point is 02:39:22 Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! Yo! I will say on the That's crazy. It's French. It's not French. No, it's not, bro. Fuck your life.
Starting point is 02:39:25 All right. Exactly, bro. I got excited, bro. Yeah. I will say on the Ryan Gosling shit, though, when you come from certain backgrounds, you learn that assimilating is part of surviving or adapting. Right? So for my parents, they understood they had to talk a certain way when they work. Definitely hard for Ryan Gosling to survive in Vancouver, Canada.
Starting point is 02:39:44 God forbid. He didn't have that New York accent, what would have happened? He wouldn't have made it. What would have happened? I mean, would he become part of the Mickey Mouse Club? Who knows? If he sounded Canadian, bro, if he sounded like he was from Saskatchewan, it wouldn't have worked. Try to smooth talk as Ryan Gosling from Saskatchewan.
Starting point is 02:39:57 Yes, it probably wouldn't have worked. But survival is maybe the wrong word. Maybe not in regards to Ryan Gosling, but I do know for some folks folks when they immigrate to a certain spot, they start taking on the accent. Yes, they weren't born there, but I understand a portion of why they do it because you don't want to stand out because standing out oftentimes is a bad thing if you want to just live a simple life. You just want to go to work and not have your boss single you out because the way that you talk, he worries that it upsets customers or whatever. So I'm not mad at it because I understand why it's there. He worries that it upsets customers or whatever. So I'm not mad at it because I understand why it's there.
Starting point is 02:40:27 Like, I'm not mad at somebody who goes to a customer service job, and all of a sudden, they're not like, hey, what up, cuz? They're like, yes, how can I do? My name is... How about this? I worked at a call center. We used to do things for, like, charities. So we'd call people up to scam them. And it's all scams.
Starting point is 02:40:41 And I would not say my name's Abba. Of course not. I'd say, hey, my name's Michelba of course not i'd say hey my name is michelle i would say in the french accent and i'll be like and and i would notice that the customers were more receptive to me once i had a name that they could identify with when i used to call abba i used to have recordings of this they would just hang up so i learned that if i wanted to keep this job and to make money when i'm struggling, I had to adapt my accent. So... Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:41:07 They would just hang up. Yeah, you go to... Hang up. Bodegas in Canada. I don't go, hey, what's up? No. I speak like them.
Starting point is 02:41:13 Hey, man. What's up? All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Starting point is 02:41:18 All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Starting point is 02:41:22 All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. And I'm like, they're like,
Starting point is 02:41:23 oh, he's us. He's cool. Not a threat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. threat yeah yeah yeah yeah i think it's natural to do this yeah yeah i think that's normal yeah i understand the frustration when you see it but i do think it is normal especially if you're living in a place yeah i didn't know that ryan gosling did that shit and he never even lived in new york no i grew up, watched a lot of Marlon Brando movies and was like, yo, that's tough. Any of the dudes, the actor who sucked dick? Marlon Brando?
Starting point is 02:41:52 Oh, the actor that sucked dick. He's the gay actor, right? Marlon Brando? Didn't he fuck Richard Pryor? Richard Pryor said some shit about... I'm pretty sure Richard Pryor sucks a man of Marlon Brando's. I'll look it up. You didn't know he was gay? Was it Quincy Jones that said that. I'm pretty sure Richard Pryor sucks a man Marlon Brando. I'll look it up. You didn't know he was gay? I did not.
Starting point is 02:42:07 Was it Quincy Jones that said that? I'm not crazy, bro. I'm not crazy. Nah, nah. Y'all not gonna look at me like this is the fish people. This is not some weirdo shit. Google that. I'm not crazy. So this is an article from TMZ says Richard Pryor's widow says yes, he did bang Marlon Brando. Let's go!
Starting point is 02:42:23 Yeah. Sorry. You got really happy someone fucked someone up. You got really happy someone fucked someone up. No, this is on TMZ. I think Quincy Jones and some shit. Yeah, the whole article where he was
Starting point is 02:42:38 airing some shit out. No? I mean, Richard Pryor did say he sucked a dick. I mean, at least he sucked the best. Like, that motherfucker. Brando's one of the best actors ever. Can he have a New York accent after you blow Brando? Yeah, 100%. He blew it right into his fucking mouth. Dude, you couldn't help but speak with a New York accent.
