forward slash flagrant for a free case review. Let's start the show.
Let's start it.
My name is Andrew Schultz.
That is Andrew Schultz.
I'm here with real life Kaz or Kazim or whatever your new and more official and corporate and professional name is.
The more podcasts you get-
I mean, Real Life Kaz still works.
Bro, it's like you're becoming like a dignified human being, bro.
I know.
In front of our eyes.
It's really hard.
This is what keeps me from going full corporate.
It's coming here. Yeah, it's coming here. It's holding you back. Getting what keeps me from going full corporate. It's coming here.
It's coming here.
We're holding you back.
Getting off some fuck bombs.
Yeah.
It's like, all right. Still got it, god damn it. Still got it.
So we're here. We got Alex and Ed in a building.
Akash is in India right now.
Yes, at the Parkalot Garage.
In the Parkalot Garage. He's in Mumbai. I believe the show is either today or coming up, so make sure you go check him out there.
I'm sure you can get all the details at akashsting.com.
But as we start the show today,
as some of you might have noticed on my Instagram,
I said I had a very special announcement.
Today we're recording it.
It's Monday, but it's coming out Tuesday,
so I'll make that announcement for all you guys.
Hopefully, and you get this up extra early
because I said the announcement's coming out. Hopefully, he you get this up extra early,
because I said the announcement's coming out. When he says hopefully, he means you better get that.
That's it.
That is my corporate way of saying get that fucking thing up.
But, yeah, so 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
This is coming out.
And basically the announcement is this,
is I want to speak about a journey,
a journey that I've been on on that we've kind of all
been on a lot of you listeners have uh been i mean been on from the beginning with me some of you
have come on midway through some of you come on at this tail end and um i'm truly appreciative
of all of you guys and it starts about like three years ago and you guys have heard the beginning of
this story i'm sure ad nauseum but uh three years ago i remember i guys have heard the beginning of this story, I'm sure, ad nauseum.
But three years ago, I remember I was sitting in my living room and I received the final no on my special, the special 441 that I was going to do.
And it was from a network called CISO that nobody watched.
I've never heard of CISO.
Well, yeah.
Well, they went out of business.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, but it was crippling because I received no from a place that nobody even liked.
Do you know what I mean?
A place that wasn't good enough for anybody to watch where you're not good enough for no one.
That's like not getting hired at McDonald's.
You deserve less than no one.
We can go into that McDonald's thing because I have an issue with minimum wage that's starting to really bother me.
But we'll get into that later.
I just think it's fucked up to pay someone minimum wage.
Because you're basically saying, if I could pay you less, I would.
You're saying, if you could be a slave, I would hire you that way.
Right?
But there's a minimum amount we have to pay human beings to work.
It's almost like they go,
So I'll pay you that.
Fine.
Oh, God.
Here you go.
Like, as an employer, you have to pay at least 50 cents more than minimum wage
so you don't look like the evil person that's behind.
They don't look like Scrooge McDuck.
It's like an episode of The Watchmen.
When you see someone paying a minimum wage, you're like,
dude, what's in your closet?
You know what I mean?
I don't want to give away too much.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Anyway, so I remember after having that moment, I'm sitting there on my couch and I'm just like, okay, this is not, I can't live like this. I can't go through my career hoping that an executive likes me or hoping that the culture of the time is going to promote the comedy I do because
the culture could change like it did.
And then all of a sudden, the type of comedy that I grew up doing, this kind of flagrant,
wild, potentially offensive, edgy comedy could become taboo and not cool.
And then all of a sudden, what?
No more specials, no more opportunities, no more anything.
And I was like, this is not how I'm going to provide for my family.
It's not how I'm going to provide for myself, provide for my friends. This is not how I can take care of anything. And I was like, this is not how I'm going to provide for my family. It's not how I'm going to provide for myself, provide for my friends.
This is not how I can take care of anything.
So I realized, okay, I have to make a change.
I have to do something in life that's going to put myself in control of my destiny.
And I realized that the only way to do it was follow the people that I thought had control of their destiny.
Like the Tyler Perrys, it's like the's you know the even like the Rudy Ray Moore
that's the guy who Dolomite is about if any of you guys saw right it's like these people invested
not in the industry but in the people yeah right and they're like he said Russ is a show so Russ
huge shout to Russ because he was the one who inspired the new joke every week yes right yes
and because he was doing a new song every week. But it's like this investment into people,
right?
It's like before that
you invest in the industry.
It's like how do I make
a clean five minutes?
How do I make a good
clean 30 minutes?
Or how do I have a palatable
this, that, the other?
And I was like fuck that.
I want to be completely
authentic with the people
and I truly believe
that if I had
a deep connection with them
and they felt like
I respected them
and they felt like
what I was giving them was truth, right? That they would bring me to the top had a deep connection with them and they felt like I respected them and they felt like what
I was giving them was truth, right?
That they would bring me to the top and they would spread the word and it would be this
really organic thing happen.
I was like, that's the only way you have control.
There's no way otherwise.
And I sat there and I go, okay, I will allow the people to bring me to the top or the people
to crumble me.
If I give it to the people and nobody likes it and they say, go fuck yourself, I can accept
that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I will not-
It's always good to go out on your sword.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I will never allow someone in a suit to decide what happens to me in my career.
The people will always be the ones at the end of the day.
Jury your peers.
You know what I mean?
Ain't going to be some emperor who goes thumbs up, thumbs down.
There's going to be millions of people who go thumbs up, thumbs down.
Got you.
And I'm fine.
I can live with that one.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
But the idea of one person having my destiny in their hands.
It's bullshit.
It's bullshit in most situations.
That's how you get your head cut off.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like that's how emperors die.
Yeah.
Right?
It's like they say no to the wrong person.
Right?
And then.
That happens every fucking day.
Every day.
Most kings get their head cut off and it's usually by one guy.
Because he's like, yo, you're not representing what we want.
Right?
So at the end of the day, I realized that the industry is nothing without the people.
Right?
So I'm like, okay, boom.
We just got to go right to the people, say fuck it.
We create our own industry.
We do all that.
And I go, you know what I can do is I can give away all this stuff.
Before that comics, we always hoarded our material for a special.
And I'm like, why don't I do the exact opposite? Why don't I give away all this stuff before that comics we always hoarded our material for a special and i'm like why don't i do the exact opposite why don't i give it all away and if the
people fuck with it they'll come up to my live shows and i can afford to you know feed my family
afford to do all these things like that and it works right i start selling tickets everything's
good and i find this thing this kind of like hack of the system, and I realize, you know what?
It's probably better to share this.
I think a lot of times what happens is like when you find some way of making money
or having success, like people hoard it.
You know, like the first, I think, people to find a way to like tame horses.
That was technology back in the day.
And you know what they did?
They're like, yo, don't give this out.
This is advantage.
You got to come to our guy. We're the only guys who can train horses. Boom. Get money with the day. Yeah. And you know what they did? They were like, yo, don't give this out. This is advantage. You gotta come to our guy.
We're the only guys
who can train horses.
Boom.
Get money with me.
Yeah, right.
Makes sense.
And I was like,
fuck it.
This is how the game
should be played.
I thought that there was value
in just giving back
because I remember going
in that moment,
I was like,
if I get any success,
I will bestow this
upon the other people
who I think will do
the same thing with it.
Because it goes back
to your original plan of like going with the people and that's not
just selling tickets that no with the community that's how you build that's
how you build industry right it's like that's how you make that's how you take
something from the ground up it's not just you hoarding everything it's you
sharing and then it becomes ubiquitous it becomes ubiquitous with comedy right
that's the same reason why I do so many fucking interviews and podcast people
like yo how do you get in the so so your hands are so many things like i tell them i'm like
listen like you have to keep your you know there's no there's no point in hoarding all this information
if you can't you know use it to better people and and in the in the weird way you're kind of
bettering yourself as well because now you gotta evolve 100 right and you get pushed yes you know
what i mean it's like once somebody does something better now it makes me go okay now we got to be
better than that right it just pushes the art and it's great.
I mean, we did things.
I think once you experience a little bit of power in your industry, it shows a lot about who you are.
And if you're the type of person that wants to hoard all that power, then you don't deserve the power.
And if you're the type of person that wants to help other people who deserve it, you deserve it.
That's why when people say it's lonely at the top, it's bullshit.
It don't have to be.
It don't have to be lonely at the top.
So I thought we did the right thing.
I thought we filmed in Giannis' special doing these inside jokes,
really trying to expose people here with these comics that they could be really friends with.
Just kind of put people out on a platform when we start to have it.
Even giving tough love to Akash.
Now Akash is killing it.
He needed it.
I remember the days where he was just like, he didn't want to.
I remember the days
when he didn't want to like
meet people after shows
or,
you know,
was too scared to,
not scared to do.
Put out his material.
Put out material,
yeah,
be on social media.
It's like,
you know,
and now look at him.
He's fucking Mumbai.
He's on YouTube.
He's international.
He's doing shows.
It's just a beautiful thing to see.
And I basically,
so I basically come to this moment
where we film Views from the CIS.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Alex comes out.
Matt comes out.
We go to Europe.
We film Views from the CIS,
my special,
which was before the Crowd Work special.
And I have Views from the CIS,
and I'm going out to L.A.,
and I'm doing some podcasts, and I meet with this production company called Comedy Dynamics.
Okay.
And I don't think I told people this story, but Comedy Dynamics recognized the wave.
They understood it.
It's very rare that industry folks recognize things that early, but they understood it.
And they said to me, they're like, hey, don't release your special.
We want to buy it.
They were the only network. Once again, nobody cared.. We want to buy it. They were the only network.
Once again, nobody cared.
And they weren't even a network.
They were a production company.
Right.
We want to buy it.
And I'm like, I'm releasing it in a week.
And they're like, just don't.
Can't you just hold off?
We'll make you an offer.
And I go, it's a million dollars, and you've got to give me it in a week.
And they go, I don't think that's realistic in any world. Like, this is not fucking, what is that movie?
Not Backdraft, the other one.
Which movie are you talking about?
It seems like a Nicolas Cage movie.
Not Nicolas Cage, the other white guy.
The other white guy?
He's like bald.
Come on, Alex, you know this.
He's like bald.
Not Nicolas Cage.
He saves the world always
Bruce Willis
what's the movies
that he did
like four of them
one with Samuel L. Jackson
fuck if I know
I didn't
look it up
Samuel L. Jackson's
is one
he did a bunch
it's always New York
some Russian is about
to blow up New York
Die Hard
there it is
no shit
okay
time is together
because I'm not trying
to see where this is
anyway that's some heist shit.
It's like, I need a million dollars by tomorrow night.
Oh, like speed?
Whatever.
Exactly.
Right?
You're like, what if we can get a million dollars?
You can't just go in a chase and get a million dollars because Keanu Reeves says so.
Right?
So the situation is, but I just said it.
And it was one of those things where it was like, as a creative, just because nobody wants your thing doesn't mean it doesn't
have value okay you decide your value right and i remember thinking that and i was like you know
how much shit is worth that's how much you think it's worth so uh they don't make the thing but
we have a cool meeting and everything's chill and eventually uh i release a special i go on rogan
and then shit really goes to another level you You know what I mean? I start touring. I start doing these theaters around the world.
Like we're selling out.
It's fucking unbelievable.
And I go to this, it really changes comedy in a lot of ways with the clip stuff because
all these agents and managers start telling their clients, yo, you got to put out clips
and that's the thing.
And now all of a sudden we're in the share economy with clips.
And it's like, but unreal to see this kind of transform comedically because it was not
the zeitgeist at all, you know?
Right, right.
And then all of a sudden
I get asked to go do this festival
called JFL, Just for Laughs.
I was never asked to do festivals
and I get asked.
And they ask me to come up
and I go, yeah, I'll come up
but I really want to do
the Nasty Show
because my favorite comic ever,
Patrice O'Neil,
would do the Nasty Show
and I just wanted to walk
in his fucking shoes
because I thought he was so great
and I thought it would be
a cool thing.
And they say no.
And I say,
all right,
well,
I don't need to go.
And the reason I say
I don't need to go
is because
I have the people now.
That festival can't do anything for me
because the festival
is just a way
to get you in front of networks
which then get you
in front of people.
I got the people.
You already got people,
yeah.
So you can't offer me anything and when you can walk away, they I got the people. You already got people, yeah. So you can't offer me anything.
And when you can walk away, they don't know how to handle that.
Oh, yeah.
So when I say no, they go, all right, fine, you could do the festival,
and you could do the Nasty Show.
And I go, no, no, no, I'm going to do the Nasty Show,
and I'm going to do two of my other shows.
And they're like, we can't do the other shows.
I go, well, then I can't go, obviously.
Now, if you just said yes to the Nasty Show,
we wouldn't have this predicament.
We wouldn't have this problem, yeah.
But you done fucked up.
You let me know you really want me there.
So then they acquiesce.
We do the Nasty Show, and then we do two other shows,
and I have a really good JFL.
I come back from JFL,
and we get a call from Netflix.
Now, some of you guys know my history with Netflix.
People think I'm anti-Netflix.
I'm not.
I'm just making observations about Netflix.
When I went on that Rogan, I said Netflix is dead because I looked at the debt structure that they had
and the fact that none of their original programming was successful.
It was all the things that they're releasing, and those were about to time out, et cetera.
Everybody thought I was crazy,
and then now you see a lot of these articles coming out.
So Netflix give us a call, and they go,
hey, we want Andrew to do this show called The Degenerates.
It's a 15-minute set.
It's $25,000.
Do you want to do it?
My agent tells me about it, and I go,
well, I give my content away for free on Instagram.
I give it away for free on Instagram I get away for free
on Twitter the money is never the issue it's just this is the right opportunity I'm like I'm not
against it the next day we get a call from comedy dynamics that production company I spoke about
they go hey we want to work with Andrew what's Andrew up to my agent TJ very intelligently says
he just got an offer from Netflix he doesn't say what it was for he doesn't say it was for 15 minutes and 25 000 he just say he got an offer for netflix yeah
so um they go wait don't sign anything give us a few days we're gonna cook something up okay
okay this is getting closer to the announcement that i want to talk about okay it might be a long
i'm sitting on the edge of my seat because i really don't know the announcement i want to talk about. It might be a long place. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat because I really don't know the announcement. I want to find out
on there with everyone else.
We get the call.
What we do is we have to stall Netflix.
We ask Netflix for a few things we know
they're not going to give us.
I ask, I want to be the first comic
in the series to come out
and I also want to have my face on the
first image. Now, Netflix is not
going to give that up, right?
Unless they do.
Unless they do, but they're not because they don't get it.
But also, even if they do or they don't, they have to put that through the execs.
That takes days.
So now we have days, right?
In that time, we get an offer from Comedy Dynamics.
My lawyer sits me down.
Not my lawyer.
My agent sits me down. Not my lawyer. My agent sits me down.
He's so excited.
We're sitting down and he goes, okay, here's the offer from Comedy Dynamics.
And he's sitting there and he's like thrilled.
And I look at the offer and the offer is for my next special.
And it's for a million dollars.
Shit.
Right.
And I'm looking at it.
I'm like, dude, this is fucking amazing.
You just turned a $25,000 deal into a million dollar deal. and i'm looking i'm like dude this is fucking amazing this is you just turned 25 000 deal into a million dollar deal this is amazing job this is so incredible it's a shame
we have to turn it down when i tell you he had a heart attack dude his face turned white dude like
and he's a white guy but i don't know how white can get whiter but it got whiter
dude it was it was hilarious translucent bro he was like a fish at the bottom of the ocean you
know the ones that don't have he's a jellyfish that's what he was he's literally turned into
a jellyfish and he's like what do you mean this is everything that you asked for this is the deal
and he goes remember when we went there a year ago and you said it was a million dollars so
here's a special and i go yeah that was the deal a year ago.
The price of the brick that went up.
It went up.
It's just changed, right?
It's like if I don't value myself and I don't value what I am,
then what do I have?
It's just an arbitrary amount.
True Jewish man, that Andrew Schultz.
So it was one of those things and I literally sat there and I thought about it and it was one of those things that and i literally sat there and i thought about it and
it was one of those things that was really important to me because it wasn't about the
the money of the special i but in that amount of time i put out three specials i charged zero
dollars for all of them yeah i don't make my living on on specials but the message that i
wanted to do is to put out is you know i i played a role in convincing all these comics in the world
to share their content for free but just because you give away your content doesn't mean it's worth nothing.
Yeah.
It's worth whatever the fuck you want it to be worth.
Yes.
So I decided what it was worth then.
And then I decided it became worth more.
So it's got to be worth more.
And if you say no, guess what I'm just as happy doing?
Releasing it on YouTube, this amazing platform that gave me the success I have today.
Best advice I ever got when I was younger.
Say what? Never work for cheap. Always work for free or full price. I have today. Best advice I ever got when I was younger. Say what?
Never work for cheap, always work for free or full price.
I love that.
Never work for cheap.
I love that shit.
So it's like, boom.
So I say no.
He freaks the fuck out.
And I go, just tell him.
He goes, no, it can't be that price because that was the price that it was last time.
It's got to be more.
Gotcha.
He comes back in two days.
We got more.
I won't tell you what it is.
I mean, it's more than a mil.
That's all I can say.
And again, I don't say this,
and the amount of money is in terms of bragging, right?
It's like that amount of money has helped something else,
which I'm going to talk about later in this episode
that we've been waiting to talk about for you guys for months.
But what I say that is, is if you are creative and you are in this process,
you don't have to be stand-up.
You could be music, you could be art, whatever it is.
But if you are going through a similar journey that we went through,
and when I mean we, I mean obviously my team, Alex, Mark, you guys, Eden, Akash, but also all the people that have been sharing these clips and making these things relevant.
It's like you can give everything away and then use that to get a way better deal than you would ever get.
And when we did it, one of the cool things was is is that we signed it with a production company and I partnered with that
production company.
That's comedy dynamics.
And then we got to choose where we sell the special to.
And I can't say the network right now,
but I think that you guys are going to be pretty happy when I,
when I say what it is.
Okay.
And trust me,
your boy is always
looking at the future and what the
future is going to be. And I'm very
excited to announce it. And I'm sure we'll announce
it in the upcoming months. But the special
announcement I have right now is that
yes, my first network special,
one hour special,
is going, the deal is signed,
is going to be filmed in
Los Angeles, april 11th
at the orpheum theater the same theater as dolomite and uh that shit meant so much to me
when i saw him pull up to that theater man yeah in the movie and i was like because these theaters
in downtown la were so important so special to people that's where they they literally they would
all connect and like just watch these movies and experience these like cultural waves.
And this motherfucking Dolomite dude, he did it himself.
And he, what happens is when you build up the people, everybody wants to come work with you.
And I felt like, I felt like the stars were aligned so much when I watched that.
So I was like, nah, it's got to be there.
And yeah, we're going to do it.
So what we're doing is today, right now, as you listen to this, you can get tickets.
There's a pre-sale code.
And the reason we did pre-sale code is because I know there's certain people who have been on this journey with me for years and all around the world.
You guys deserve first dibs.
Yeah, they deserve to be there.
So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, these days are all yours.
Pre-sale code is Matador.
You can get the link on my website, dandrashult.com.
But if you want to come, come, man.
We saved this fucking date.
We saved this specific city.
We decided to do it this specific day.
And I wanted it to be Easter weekend.
You know what I'm saying?
The resurrection is important.
You know what I mean?
That's Easter weekend.
I want it to be in LA.
I want it to be in the city that said no, in the city that breaks your dreams, in the city that turns you down.
It's like, no, we're going to go do it there.
And everybody's going to bend with us.
And for me, I really see it as the first special in the new wave of new media.
The first deal that reflects new media.
The first deal that reflects new media the first deal reflects
ownership you know what i mean and like partnering on a project not just going okay here's my rights
you do whatever you want but like no i know what my value is and you're gonna pay me according to
that value and i'm just really excited i'm really excited for that that moment i just thank you so
the interest sold out now if you guys want you have three days to go get those tickets for
anybody else if you're flying in
I know those motherfuckers
Are probably gonna be
Flying in
Taking trains
Driving
Whatever it is
Go get them shits

Like, you out and everybody else with you is crossing the home plate, too.
And I legitimately didn't want to know.
I wanted to be like, you know what?
I want to find out with everybody else because I still don't know the network.
So, I'm not kayfabing y'all.
I'm not fucking, you know, bullshitting y'all.
But, I mean, I feel like, you know, I was a part of this journey with you for the past, it seems like, what, three years now?
Yeah.
We've been doing this fucking show.
And I remember the early days of doing this and doing episodes of Brilliant.
Yeah.
of doing this and doing episodes of brilliant and just like, it's really fucking special when you can track the exact moment when like a
trajectory changes.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
And just like as a friend and like as somebody who's,
you know what I mean?
Even before we were friends,
like I was just a fan of your shit.
I just thought you were funny.
I watched the shits on the guy code,
like,
like a bunch of,
a bunch of people did
And like
Just being part of this journey man
Like it's
It's incredible
It's inspiring
As somebody who I think
Shares the same sort of work ethic
Even though it's not stand up comedy
It's like
It's your field
Other shit
You know what I mean
Like
It's just so fucking dope
To see somebody
Deservingly
Get that And I You know I spoke to people And I spoke to You know Al I mean, like, it's just so fucking dope to see somebody deservingly get that.
And, you know, I spoke to people and I spoke to, you know, Al and other people about, like, sharing the amount of money about it.
And the reason I thought it was important is because I'm not Dave Chappelle and I'm not Chris Rock.
Yeah.
And I'm not Amy Schumer.
And I'm not these people that you hear these crazy deals that are made, know in the millions of dollars i'm not them yeah i'm not the famous person that
got the big deal from netflix because they're famous i'm the guy that the streets knew about
do you know what i mean like i'm the guy that the people knew about and there's so many people
who really i'm even listening right now who are like, yo, you're one of my favorite comics or you're my favorite comic.
But I don't know how many people know you.
Right?
That's the best type of fame to have.
Oh, it's the best.
But what I'm trying to say is like not only for them but also for other comics is you don't need to be them to get it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like you don't need to be the super famous person.
You don't need to be the person like grandfathered in from doing all these movies and TV shows.
You could build your shit now
and get what you're worth now.
And guess what?
That's what you're worth.
That's where it starts.
So know that going into
your contract negotiations
with Netflix,
know going into your
contract negotiations
with Hulu,
with all these other brands,
know where it starts.
Oh yeah.
I just told you.
Oh yeah.
And you know what?
If you can get more,
good.
Get more.
Get more, dog mean it's on some
ninja shit where it's like ninja's a guy who the streets knew about oh and then you see this
motherfuckers numbers i thought you were saying the n-word politely
the video game guy yeah yeah fucking left twitch went to a mixer because microsoft paid him a
stupid bag but like you hear the type of money he's getting and it's like yo this guy's got more money than like you're you're the probably the best player
on your favorite basketball team or football team and like the streets knew about this dude and he
broke a different way of creating content that's it where he got to create his own fucking number
you know i'm saying and my win is your win i don't got to share this shit with you i share it because
i want you to come up and maybe you don't have what I have.
So maybe you're not going to get that much yet.
Maybe you're going to get a portion of that,
but at least you know where the benchmark is.
Oh,
for sure.
You know what I'm saying?
Like at least in the NBA,
everybody knows each other's salary.
So you could go,
well shit,
I'm better than Jerry Stackhouse.
Oh yeah.
Or shit,
I'm not as good as LeBron,
but I'm better than whatever.
Of course.
You know,
I'm better than fucking. The most powerful thing you could'm not as good as LeBron, but I'm better than whatever. Of course. I'm better than fucking-
The most powerful thing you could do as creatives in the same field-
Ben Simmons, whatever, yeah.
I'm trying to think.
I mean, that's the whole Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz thing.
Carson Wentz get paid.
Dak Prescott beats him every time.
He's like, I should get more money.
So why should I give it?
But at least you know that.
In our field in entertainment, motherfuckers want to be real quiet about what they get.
People are very stingy about it.
That's every field.
And you know what?
That's how they use it against us.
That's how every field.
When we don't know, you know what I'm saying?
When we don't know what we're doing and what we're worth and what we can get paid, that's
when we start signing away checks.
Oh, yeah.
Because a lot of times you don't put any value on what you're worth.
And you're saving the company money.
They don't need it.
They don't need it.
Honestly, that's kind of why I've been following Stephen A. Smith.
I've been on my sports kick for a long time for this past year.
I love what Stephen A. Smith said.
And I love Stephen A. Smith because it's like, you know,
you don't got to be Hove or LeBron or you can be him.
And he tells people how much money he's getting.
So I'm like, I'm on that trajectory.
I'm going to fill up every fucking field.
So eventually, I know that's the benchmark.
I'm like, I'm getting that bag.
Maybe not this year, maybe not next year,
but I'm getting something close to there and over that. And it's because I've seen's the benchmark. I'm like, I'm getting that bag. Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but I'm getting something closer there and over that.
And it's because I've seen you do it.
You know what I mean?
A few things I want to get in,
and I wanted you to get your shit off.
Three things.
So when I started this journey with you,
like first I was working with Brilliant for a while,
and I saw the work ethic of Drew and Charlamagne and I'm like
yo these guys outwork every everybody I've ever met everybody in my life and I'm like oh okay so
now it's like I'm just picking on Jules I'm like all right one clear way to succeed is work work
work work work so I adopted that type of work ethic i'm like you know what
this should never be a time where i'm bored right because there's always time to do something
so i like that's one thing i really commend and then i even see it with you kaz like just
outworking everybody out here like it's funny when people say you know how many jobs you got
like that's a hilarious thing to say listen i'll go anywhere as long as they pay me to.
The next thing, it's like,
you choosing to give away the formula.
At first, I was against it,
because I guess I came from that old mentality of, like,
yo, we found a way to get it.
Like, don't just give it up to everybody.
And then I saw, like, how appreciative other comics
and even just other
people in other fields are like and then i realized uh elon musk like he gave away the patent to like
the tesla battery it's like look still nobody is making a better electric car than him so i'm like
all right so now i see this giving mentality so fucking it's useful it's it's needed more
because a lot of people yep are just they they looking for their way but they can't find their
way they're scared yeah it's a scarcity thing and then fuck i was one more point i forgot to
while you think about it while you think about it but i think that's what it comes from and we've
all been scared we've all had like that insecurity like well what if i give this away will other
people do it better and then I won't have it anymore?
But at the end of the day, we've got to have confidence.
If I could think of this, I could think of another thing.
Even if you don't have the confidence, it puts the battery in your back to make sure you at least have the work ethic to outdo that confidence.
Facts.
Because it's like, you know.
I'm saying specifically with giving away.
Yeah. And also, like, who the fuck would I be to come on here on a podcast every week and say,
yo, the Army provides and we got to give back and we got to help each other.
And I'm not doing that for my own, you know, colleagues in comedy.
Like, I got to be the representation of that always.
I got to give more.
I got to be given the most always so that people under me feel, well, shit, if he's
giving away that much i gotta at
least like that's what rogan did right like rogan transformed the comedy scene in la because he
literally just helped and now any anybody under rogan gotta help because if you don't you're
like who the fuck are you you're not rogan you're not bigger than this motherfucker yeah that makes
sense but you were saying no i was saying you know remember. Oh, go ahead. The third part I was just going to make. It's very important to speak things into fruition and then always, like, practice what you preach.
Yeah.
Because I remember when I was, like, deciding on what, should I leave my job and do this full time?
And, you know, some of the key things you were just telling me, like, yo, hard work and, like, always be positive.
Even the people who shitted on you, like, just don't invite that negativity into your life.
And then you also said, I remember in that conversation, you're like, this year I'm going for the mill.
Like, you said you were going to be a millionaire this year.
Yeah. And you fucking did it. And that's fucking amazing that's crazy congratulations bro dude i
remember sitting down in my in my apartment how to going how do i back into a million meaning like
like a million in my head was always like well you're just gonna get one check and then that's
what it's gonna be but it's like the randomly this
type of situation happened but like but like how do you back in which is like
okay if I'm making this much here I'm making that much there I'm making that
much here this is from a live show this is from this and there is a way to make
the most daunting thing in the world which is like becoming a millionaire or
something like that there is a way to make it accessible and it might not
happen in one year might happen in two years it might happen in three years but there's
a way to break it down into smaller pieces oh i got a 100k here i got 200k here this that the other
and the same way that you can break that million up you could break that hundred there's somebody
listening right now who just wants to make six figures yo you can back into six figures bro
i'm telling you you might be at 80, and you're like, hold up.
So if I do overtime, now I'm at 92.
And if I babysit my cousin's kid this many weeks, now I'm at 96.
There's ways to get there.
I'm telling you.
It's like stop acting like that shit is unreachable.
Dog, I remember, and I feel like we're opening.
I feel like this is a lot of behind-the-scenes talk about the podcast,
but I remember literally this time last year
where I think we was all sitting in, I think, Pret,
and we were just kind of like,
all right, what are we going to do for next year?
What's the fucking goal?
And I remember people, we were talking about changing the name,
even adding your name to this shit.
This is after the Rogan bump and all this other shit that we were just plotting.
And I remember a specific thing you said is,
what is your personal goal for this?
What do you want to get out of this?
And I'm just like, I want to be the sports guy.
I want to be the motherfucker who,
there's a lot of old motherfuckers in this shit.
I want to be that next dude.
You had your specific goals.
Akash had his own specific goals.
Alex, Eden, we all had our own shit that we were after.
And to come back 365 days later and you're a millionaire.
I'm a fucking, you know, people have called me like the fucking new voice in New York
sports.
100%?
You are.
Every fucking day.
The Post.
Sports New York.
I said why.
Fucking Nike.
I just signed a couple of deals with Adidas and Under Armour With no fucking You know
Exclusivity to any of them
You know what I mean
Like just
A bunch
A bunch of shit
Akash is in fucking
His home country
Son Akash's dream
Has always been to
To like perform
For his people
Yeah
And the fact that he's gone there
Twice this year to do shows
God
You know what I mean
It's fucking insane
What you can do
When
And granted You know people probably Listen to this And like oh god Get to the jokes But sometimes you need To hear this shit shows you know what i mean it's it's it's fucking insane what you can do when and and granted you
know people probably listen to this and like oh god get to the jokes but sometimes you need to
hear this shit it's the end of the year you know i'm saying you need to it's it's important time
to reflect and i'm not one of these motherfuckers that waits for the new year to do everything
different i never made a new year's resolution in my life because the resolution starts when
you need it but it is important i feel like it is important to reflect say what
it's true right it's like but it's important to reflect on like the ability of it like
akash went in one year from being almost homeless to getting married
you know what i'm saying like that's flossiest fucking wedding that's a glow up right there right so it's like and i just i just
know and i know it sounds so crazy in times yeah and again i don't define anything by the money
i've never done a single thing in my life to make money specifically like a single project that i
wanted to yeah to do right it's like but i knew that we had something great here and i knew that
there was something missing in the world here you know and I knew that the flagrancy would be so refreshing to people.
And the way that like it's gone on and the way that like, I mean, just chucking up the asshole when someone sees you.
It's so fucking crazy. It's a squad, bro. It's an army out there.
It's more than that at this point. It's a fucking. I've always I've always told people my only goal.
It's the cult, bro.
We out here with a cult, dog.
My only goal in life was to just be marks on a timeline.
You know what I mean? If there's a timeline of shit and you got one of those indents, those marks, it's like,
all right, well, there's podcasting, comedy, sports, content creating, whatever the fuck
this whole hodgepodge of things is.
Content creating Whatever the fuck
This whole hodgepodge
Of things is
Yeah
We have a mark
On podcasting
The way comedy is done
The way sports is talked about
All that shit
You know what I'm saying
I'm glad you're bringing this up
Cash
And
That is a fucking
That is worth more
Than any fucking check
Just knowing that
People
Innovation
Innovation
Yeah
Why are you pushing it
To the next level
When it was fucking hard For a lot of motherfuckers just to be,
I was one of the people.
Yeah.
I was one of those people.
I was like,
man,
I don't know.
I don't know.
You know what I mean?
My catchphrase at one point was,
I ain't touching that.
I'm not touching that.
Yeah.
Now I'm just like,
now let's go.
Fuck it.
Cause there's value in fuck it,
man.
Because when you have the people,
they can't,
they can't take anything away from you.
I have no, I have no fear, man. They cannot take anything away. And I'll man. Because when you have the people, they can't take anything away from you. I have no fear, man.
They cannot take anything away.
And I'll tell you, when you talk about innovation, that brings us to the next thing.
I think that I've been waiting to tell y'all about this for so long, man.
And you guys have heard me tease about it forever. You know, earlier, and I probably told a million times on this podcast, is that I, the only reason for me making money is so that I can push these projects that I have further so I can take care of my friends, I can take care of my family, so I can produce content in the most authentic way.
That's all I've ever wanted to do. I don't want to have to bend to a network standard or these types of things when we have the ability to create this
content ourselves. And when we started doing this deal, you know, and it looked like the deal was
going to go through, I pulled the trigger on something that you guys are going to see in the new year. And that is we have a new content facility in Brooklyn, New York.
It is going to house Flagrant 2.
We have another podcast that I'm starting called Schultz,
and we'll give you more details about that in the future,
but that's just one-on-one interviews,
similar to the one I did with James Altucher or...
Sypha Sounds.
Sypha Sounds, Miko Grimes,
like these kind of like long-form interviews
where I'm talking to these people
who have really interesting story or perspective I want to share.
It's got another studio,
which is a generic podcast studio for new projects.
Maybe Kaz wants to do something.
Maybe Al or Eden wants to do something.
Maybe these other people we want to support can go in there,
and we can give them a real platform, a real space,
where they can create and upgrade their current situation
because we know what it's like to be in a situation that needs to be upgraded.
We've got the green screen studio so we can create content.
And this is one of the coolest parts for me is we have a live performance space.
Yes.
So I'm talking about
screening a special doing live comedy shows watching nfl games i mean like seating the whole
nine yards so intimate you know maybe 50 people maybe a little bit more than that but the fact
that we have all this in our studio editing bays for alex mark edin anybody else on the team like
legit so they're not on their fucking laptops typing away, but like the real fucking deal.
And I mean like full lighting, rigging, full.
We upgraded the cameras.
We have these like amazing, cool new cameras that we're working with.
And right now the guys are out there building it.
Some of you guys might have noticed this.
We've had the two biggest do-it-yourself guys on YouTube.
We got Ben Uyeda and Mike Montgomery. You can check out their YouTube. They have tons of stuff. might have noticed this we've had the two biggest do-it-yourself guys on youtube um we got ben
uyeda and mike montgomery you can check out their youtube they have tons of stuff they've done the
biggest deals they've designed the studio they've we did state-of-the-art like i mean soundproofing
none of this fucking bullshit i'm talking about the real deal and um we have one thing that i
think is going to change podcasting forever and I can't wait for you guys to see it
but all I'll say is this.
Say goodbye to microphones.
This shit right in front of your face,
the whole fucking podcast.
Done with that.
This big fluffy thing
and I'm not talking about lavaliers
like they do on TV.
I'm talking about a new technology
that's not even available
in the consumer market yet.
Oh my God.
We got in contact
with this great company who's been doing all of our audio-visual stuff.
And shout out to Overtone Sounds that did all of our custom sound paneling.
They were great.
You're going to hear all about these guys in the near future.
But we got this new thing, and it will, I think, change the visual for podcasts forever.
I truly believe if we do it right.
I just heard the first sound test today and they sound unbelievable.
You can't even believe that you get good quality audio without a microphone in your face.
So it's like what we want to do is innovate.
And I knew if I was given any kind of money or power, I would invest that in what we're doing and creating more content.
So thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to do that.
We get to some flagrancy, but I'm very excited for this new year man man shout out to everybody who's rocking us new year
i know we've never done like uh it was only like literally my only nugget of this show we've never
done any like 100 episodes 200 episodes one year anniversary none of that shit but i feel like every single year we've kind of
leveled up and like this upcoming 2020 is gonna fucking like if you've been rocking with us for
this long man oh get ready oh shit we're gonna make y'all proud if you think we deliver a lot
of content now it's about to be the next level man and kev i would feel bad as a black man to
let you go the rest of this episode.
You got to fix your durag.
Oh, motherfuckers.
Watch it.
My bad.
I just noticed it.
God damn it.
I got you.
I have my velvet on, too.
It's nice and silky.
Fuck y'all.
Thank you, Alex.
I appreciate that.
I like how you describe your velvet as silky.
Velvet is the material.
It's velvety. Niggas know exactly how to talk. They're called silky. Yeah, it's a silky. Velvet is the material. It's velvety.
Niggas know exactly how to talk.
They're called silky.
It's a silky.
It doesn't matter what fabric the durag is.
It's still called a silky.
No matter what.
That shit can be made of fucking polyesters.
Oh, yeah, you got my silky, y'all.
So silky isn't a material.
It's not a material.
It's a feeling.
It's what you feel in here.
When you feel the waves waving up in your head, it's like, all right, I got my silky on.
Who decided that the waves were good?
What do you mean?
Have you seen Usher?
No, no, no.
I think waves look really cool, but when did that become fashionable?
Man, I'll tell you.
I mean, for me personally, this is when I first saw Mace with him.
Mace was like the flyest fucking-
Even before that, you had finger waves back.
I wasn't on the finger waves, though, man.
No, but I mean, it's been around for a minute.
It has been around.
Women actually had it popping first, when they had short haircuts.
But they would do fucking relaxer.
I'm getting really into deep black hair culture shit, right?
Relaxer is almost like a perm for white folks.
What makes your hair puffy makes
women's hair or black people's hairs silky silky so they'd put the white shit in the hair relax it
and it would make it wavy and take the sideburns and all this other shit and make it that shit you
could even go back to like the soul days when motherfuckers was permanent shit out like um you
know the malcolm x shit when he was a little i forgot what they call
what did what did they call it in that not a jerry curl no no but they was like a process
oh maybe they did call it a perm or whatever yeah yeah my mom called it a perm what's up big worm
big perm big sherm what is it what's up big perm i mean big worm shout out jay rose i talked to
him today about his pristine hairline. And what do you say?
Was he on PDs?
Is he having any help?
Yo, I've had a good conversation with him today.
You can check it out on Big Apple Buckets.
And he was just saying, like, you know, I got great jeans.
Fuck that.
Bro, look at that shit.
That ain't great jeans, son.
That's a barbershop picture.
Go back and look him in the fab five days.
No, I know he's always had a great hairline.
But, I mean, to keep it that pristine.
That shit is perfectly coiffed.
I can't believe a black man that age.
He's got to be pushing almost 45, 50 at this point.
I'm going with the PEDs when my shit's not going.
I got a finish line for my shit.
I feel like going for it right now.
I got a finish line for my shit.
I'm either coming home, I'm either going bald, or I'm getting LeBron treatment, yo.
Once it reaches a certain level, why would you not get LeBron?
That's what I don't understand.
And I'm not doing this, honestly, to plug any company that we use.
But balding is a choice.
Yeah.
It's a choice now.
Yeah.
But you got to get on it before.
It's when cats go bald and then they realize it. Yeah, the second you notice, you got to get on it before it's when it's when casco ball and then they realize that yeah the second you notice you got to get on the pills yeah i'm i've been i've been
trying to do the shit but i keep forgetting to do the fucking uh the doctor's thing whatever it's
what just do it yeah tell me about that what you gotta do
you know what i mean you just do a couple of the gummies you know i don't know if they're gummies
i take pills i cut them shits up. You take the pills?
Yeah.
Every single day.
Oh, gosh.
I need to do that.
The reason why I don't hit the Braun shit is because Braun, when that shit is bad, it looks bad.
It looks stupid, yeah.
I'm pretty sure with him, it just didn't work.
It's not going to work for everybody.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm pretty sure he did everything he could.
It just didn't take.
I'm sure he did.
What's the guy's phone?
Tory Lanez. He got all the money. I had to handle it. Like, Tory Lanez, it didn't work for saying. I'm pretty sure he did everything he could. It just didn't take. I'm sure he did. What's the guy's from? Tory Lanez.
Like, Tory Lanez, it didn't work for him.
I did.
What's Charlemagne called?
The Trap Toupee?
Trap Toupee, yeah.
But, like, Tory thinks it worked for him, which is cute.
But if you look at his hair, it looks odd.
Yeah.
His hair looks odd.
But it's still in the growing process.
It takes time.
Oh.
Like, you've seen it get progressively better.
Yeah, because Tigers. He just couldn't wait to show it off. Here's the thing. Tigers is great. process it takes time oh like it you've seen it get progressively better yeah because tigers he
just couldn't wait to show it off here's the thing tigers is great shit is kind of crispy too
because the thing about tigers is like so tories when it grows out it looks like baby hairs
yeah like this is it right here right yeah like when it grows out it just don't look right
but tigers he could actually twist and that's how you know the hair is strong
i don't think he's fully black though
I think that I think yeah, I think see look at that shit. He came back from the brink. Yo, wait go back
It's over bro. Holy fuck at that. That's that's my finish. That's my finish line, right?
He looks like a turtle in the left one, right and he looks Dominican in the right one
He came back to Dominican dude, so look at he got his hair twist. Look go back Dominican, dude. Son. Look at him. He got his hair in twists. I need to do that shit. Go back up.
Go back up.

It's almost like somebody drew it on.
He got the wrong type of hair.
Yo, Drew.

If you're running routes like fucking- Wayne Krabat.
Like Wayne Krabat,
just curving into it.
Running those Jarvis Landry routes.
I didn't say wheel.
Why are you running a wheel?
Running a slant, motherfucker.
Sharp hairline.
Anyway, we'll get y'all hairlines.
We'll glow up.
This is going to be a fun year 2020.
I fucking can't wait.
2020 hairlines.
So guys, we got to start with some flagrancy.
Let's get into it, man.
Oh, and shout out to everybody who came to Barclays Center this past Friday.
Yo, man, congrats on that.
That looked amazing.
It was fantastic, man.
All in New York, shout out to Casanova, The Lox, Just Blaze, Dipset, Cam,
Jewels, Fivio Foreign, whole Ducey Palooza team,
everybody who bought a ticket,
we sold that bitch out.
It was fantastic, man.
Thank y'all for coming through.
Also, I just want to say
that that's incredible
to see what the Ducey show
has turned into, man.
It's fucking unreal
because, I mean, Webster Hall,
that was a massive success.
I grew up a few blocks
from Webster Hall.
And, I mean, that's a fraction of the
size of the barclays center bro so to do it at that level is unbelievable man congrats abs thank
you so much man it takes a it takes a fucking village to put that thing together so shout out
to the whole team obviously you know who you are and uh man can't wait to do it again man it is um
oh yeah another thing I just want to say
before we move on to some flagrant thoughts
and some flagrancy is that it's important to me
that the New York comedy scene knows that this new space
that we haven't named yet, but we're going to name it,
is not only investment in the content that we're making,
but investment in New York comedy.
So if there's ways that I could help comics in new york
i want to do that and i want to know and um it is is important to me to give back and give
opportunities because obviously the only reason i'm able to do this is because other people gave
me opportunities that didn't have to you know so this is an investment in new york comedy and new
york comedy is on the rise and i feel like we're going to be in a good place
And I feel like we're adopting some of those values
That made the LA scene so successful
In the last few years
So I'm really bullish on New York comedy
In the future and I'm going to make sure that we
I'm going to make sure that we get to the promised land again
100%
Now flagrancy, let's talk about it
I'm in LA, okay
I do a show at the comedy store Jeremiah Watkins Don't get too old, man. I'm in L.A. Yeah. Okay? I do a show at the Comedy Store.
Okay?
Jeremiah Watkins' show, my favorite show to do while I'm in L.A.
Love Jeremiah.
He's fucking hilarious.
Great guy, yeah.
Obviously, he was on the show.
He has a show called Stand Up on the Spot.
People yell things at you.
You just do a joke based on that in the moment.
Okay?
It's a great show.
No planned material.
Everything has to be on plan.
Great show.
I go.
I'm about to leave Comedy Store.
Right before I leave, Emily, woman who runs the Comedy Store, goes, Schultz, they have
a show in the main room.
Main room is a beautiful room, 400 seats.
It's Bill Burr, Joey Diaz, Greg Fitzsimmons.
Can you do a spot?
I go, I would be honored to do a spot with those guys.
Let's go do it.
As we're walking in the back, she goes, hey, I just want to let you know this show is for
people on the spectrum.
And I go, wait a minute.
It's for retards?
Right?
And then she goes, no, no, no, no.
They're in a halfway house.
And I'm like, oh, a halfway house.
That's like drugs or like-
Okay, okay.
I thought on the spectrum of society, these people are on the front.
No, like, oh, these are murderers.
Right.
Yo, I'm walking in the back.
I see some guys, some white dudes with these long beards, biker guys. I'm like, oh, these people are on the front like oh these are murderers right yo i'm walking the back i see some guys like some white dudes with these like long beards like biker guys i'm
like oh these guys are legit and i get excited because it's like well they're not gonna be
offended by anything this is like my perfect audience like people who have done all the
things i'm gonna talk about all of a sudden my material is relatable right it's like if i'm
gonna speak about the worst shit and i got the guys in there like yo stabbing does suck sometimes
they're probably looking at you like oh oh, that's not. Yeah.
Ted Bundy, he's the man.
Whatever it is, right?
And so I'm hyped.
I'm like, I'm going in.
Yeah.
I go on stage.
First couple jokes.
And listen, I'm not one of these motherfuckers that just goes, yo, I killed.
Like, there's these comics that say they killed, right?
No matter how they do.
I was killing, bro.
I was going hard.
And I'm fucking bodying these motherfuckers and I get to this final joke
and it's a joke
I'll only do
if I really like a crowd
okay
and it's a joke
about retards right
but it's also about other shit
okay
but um
so I get into the joke
I feel like I know the joke
you might know the joke
yeah
and again
I gotta really like the crowd
because the joke
is fucking wild
okay
like it is wild
but it's one of those things like if we're all, you're going to laugh in a way that's different.
You are laughing in a different way at this joke, right?
Okay.
So I start doing a joke, and I'm not getting really anything from the audience.
I was murdering.
Now this shit is real quiet.
So I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
I keep on doing the joke.
I get them up to maybe 50%, but it just was not the same as it was in the beginning.
I was like, man, that's weird.
And I walk off stage, and backstage is Joey Diaz.
And Joey Diaz looks at me.
He goes, hey, kid, why'd you do the retard joke?
I'm like, what do you mean?
He goes, there's a room full of retards.
Hey, it's a benefit for retards.
Why would you do that?
I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
I go, are you kidding me? He goes, no, don benefit for retards. Why would you do that? I was like, are you fucking kidding me? I go, are you kidding me?
He goes, no, don't worry about it.
He goes, they'll forget about it.
They're retarded.
So I go into the back room.
I'm just screaming at these people.
I was like, why aren't they fucking getting this?
Turns out they were really offended by what was going on.
Oh my God.
That was the one
that you crossed the line.
Bro,
I felt...
Bro,
I felt so fucking bad
about that shit.
Did you really?
I'm like,
oh no,
dude,
I did.
First time ever
I saw him actually
generally felt bad. The sound guy came down one point during time and he goes, no, dude, I did. First time ever I saw him actually generally felt bad.
The sound guy came down one point during time.
He goes, dude, that was ballsy.
I go, dude, I didn't know.
I wasn't trying to be edgy.
It's like they're on the spectrum.
That's kind of far-reaching.
I asked her if they were retards, and she said no.
It's far-reaching.
She said halfway house.
How do you think people get to jail?
By being retarded?
Yeah, most of the time.
They don't, they don't.
Bro.
For real.
But here's the thing.
It turns out she did mean on the spectrum.
Yeah.
Here's the craziest thing.
The first comic that went up,
partially retarded.
He's backstage with me
and I apologize
and I didn't know he was retarded.
I thought he was just a comic.
Oh, God.
Because some comics do this thing where they play into how weird they are.
They just do this, like, I'm autistic type of thing.
Ideal synchrosies.
Yeah.
And it's just like, okay, you can do that fucking bullshit.
No, no, no, I'm really retarded.
So I thought he was one of those.
I thought he was just this weirdo guy that's leaning into the weirdo.
I got to hear how he said it, though.
No, no.
So I go, dude, my bad about the whole thing thing he doesn't even know i'm talking about that he's like he goes he's like
he's like yeah i thought i had a weird set too and i was like oh no dude i'm locked in this
conversation i am locked in i can't do anything right i gotta fucking leave dude i had to
leave through the back entrance because if i walked through that fucking crowd and one of them grabbed me with that retard strength and just sat me down the whole time.
The halfway house retard strength is different.
Son.
They fucking, most of the time they body people.
It's not with strategy.
It's like, oh, I like to play.
Choke, choke, choke on shit.
He's dying.
It's like, oh, fuck.
Son.
What happened?
Son, it was good.
Cookies are delicious.
And we're going to play steal the bacon with me.
Anyway, so that's my flagrant thought of the week.
Can you talk about what happened in Connecticut?
What happened?
Oh, my.
What happened in Connecticut?
This is the worst.
This is the worst.
This is the worst.
This is the worst.
This same joke.
I was about to say, like, you know your fucking audience.
This same joke is fucking going crazy, dude.
That's why I can't bring it out always.
I can't bring it out always.
But I do, bro.
So I was in Connecticut, and there's this girl in the audience,
and she's just, like, being one of these annoying fucking drunk girls.
It's just going, woo!
Like, randomly a joke. That's not how you react to a joke. It's just going, woo! Like randomly a joke.
That's not how you really react to a joke, but you're like, woo!
Like she keeps saying it.
And I give her a couple more and it's like, hey, you can't just yell out because it's distracting.
You can yell out during like a silent pause that I'm actually as part of the bit.
Like you're just fucking a flow up.
Woo!
And I go, if you do it again, I'm kicking you out.
I know that you're being enthusiastic, but you're just distracting everything.
So you're going to have to get kicked out, right?
And I do the retard joke, and she just goes, whoo!
At the end, I go, that's it.
You got to go.
You got to go.
I get kicked out, right?
Oh, God.
I don't know where to go.
I kick this girl out, right?
I finish the show.
After the show, who came up to me?
You came up to me?
It's on me, yeah.
Alex comes up to me.
He's like, dude, did you know the girl you kicked out was fully retarded?
Son.
So she was just relating to the bit.
She was into it.
She's like, I've been waiting for this part the whole night.
He's going to do my joke.
I kicked her out at the one joke she actually got.
I was on full panic mode.
Dude, Alex is like, you got to go out there and smooth this over. She could write a letter. I'm like, write a letter Dude, Ally's like, you gotta go out there and smooth
this over. She could write a letter.
I'm like, write a letter? Who's gonna write a letter?
There's one thing she's not gonna do.
She got the fucking crayon in her hand
upside down.
What's up?
I have told Drew.
Why do we always do the slow jokes
Where people just yelling
Like
Yo
This is great
It's never happened
It's never happened
It's going for it today
I told you
This is probably
Like your funniest joke
Because it's not
The most clever
But it's just
Raw
Fucking funny
Bro it is
It's just intense
It gets intense
Oh it hits you.
That shit hits you, son.
The way that people laugh at it is different.
They laugh different.
No, no, no.
If they laugh like this, they just go.
Like their eyes go wide and they're like, what is happening?
Dude, I got to pee so bad.
Can we pause for a second?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm back.
Did we finish that combo I forget no it was
heavy on the way they laugh and I think people laugh that way cuz it's real it's
dude we all have that thing inside of us when we know what to laugh well not us
cuz we're pieces shit yeah but like most people have that thing where like they kind of like stop themselves knowing they're not supposed to laugh. Well, not us, because we're a piece of shit. But most people have that thing where they kind of stop themselves
knowing they're not supposed to laugh at it,
but in the back of their head it's funny.
And I think that part of your brain
kind of reverses.
Like you laugh first,
then you try to catch it,
like, oh, fuck.
And that's why it's like,
I'll bust it off,
I really like a crap.
And one of the great things
that we've curated
is we've removed that kind of like
taking a moral stance about jokes with my audience
right, it's like they come out there for it and
For me like there's a lot of people that can do like clever bits, right?
Like you see like a lot of like one-liners like misdirection that kind of shit like that for me
Clever should always be the addition on the bit. Mmm, right?
It should start out at like raw fun like patrice o'neill started
out raw funny and then added the clever yeah but it starts out in this visceral real place
harassment day boom boom but then it gets clever yes okay we should have sexual harassment day
hilarious there's nothing clever about that sentence it's just hilarious fucking idea yeah
and then you add the clever after and that's what what I love about that bit is we start in this fucking raw place and then we
turn it into some funny, but whatever.
It doesn't matter.
My bad if there was any retards at that show that were offended by it or whatever.
That's not my intention.
My intention is that we all laugh.
The joke isn't even making fun of retards.
It's making fun of another group.
But I won't even,
I won't get to,
I won't tell too much of that.
We'll save that for the special.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, there it is.
Can I tell you one of the greatest sports moments
of all time happened this past weekend?
Please, because we have a lot of...
Woo!
Kamaru Usman.
Bro.
My God.
Okay.
So, go.
Let's talk about the Nigerian nightmare.
This guy, MMA fight.
It was an amazing fight.
Amazing fight.
So, Kamaru Usman fights Colby Covington.
Many of you guys know Colby Covington.
The interesting thing about Colby is he is playing a character.
It is a gimmick.
He's healing it up.
He's healing it up.
And his heel is that he's this MAGA Trump supporter.
Yes.
He got the Trump shout out.
He came to the cage with Candace Owens.
The whole thing.
He came out with the Make America Great Again hats.
All that shit.
The whole thing.
And what's interesting is that he was kind of like toiling in obscurity until he leaned
into this character.
And now he-
Kind of like, what's his face?
Henry Cejudo.
Not the other guy.
He fought Anderson Silva.
Tito Ortiz.
White dude.
He does commentary now.
Chael Sonnen.
Chael Sonnen.
There you go.
Exactly, yeah.
So he realized that you need antics.
He went with these type of antics.
Yes.
And from my understanding, from what I've been told, is that he has a guy who worked
for the WWE writing for him.
Oh, yeah.
And he writes all his stuff, and he has papers that he's memorizing before he goes.
He's fucking reading the Trump Jr. book during the press conference, the Triggered book.
100%.
And shit like he's-
So he's on it.
He even said he's going to try and go to the WWE after this.
Right.
That was his next step.
So he fights Kamaru Usman, and Usman fights this really brilliant fight.
But Colby fought a good fight, too.
It was a very competitive fight.
It came out like a bat out of hell.
Colby won the first round.
Yeah, he was definitely more aggressive.
Debatable about the second one.
It was a close fight, but Kamaru is a brilliant fighter, and he made adjustments.
He started attacking the body.
Colby had never really been hit like that to the body.
Slowed him down.
Slowed him down and took away some of his energy.
What is the word I'm looking for?
Not speed.
Your cardio.
Endurance.
Body shots removed that fucking endurance.
Kumaro Usman
slowly broke him down and then
that fifth round TKO'd him.
But like really brilliant methodical
fight. He was so poised and like so
his game plan he he made a switch most fighters can't make a switch because he was he was out
boxed in that first round oh yeah it was mostly it was mostly stand-up oh and because what happened
is both of them are wrestlers that are elite and they neutralize each other's wrestling so they're
like listen we could spend all day trying to go down and sprawl. Fuck it. We're going to stand up here and kick and punch.
And in the first round, I was like, oh, Colby's going to TKO this guy.
I thought it was over.
I thought Colby was going to win.
Tomorrow made a fucking change.
And that is a brilliant fighting move.
If you can, in the midst of war, make a change, you're a next level fighter.
Motherfucker's disciplined as fuck.
Disciplined.
It's a fucking, it's a great.
That's that wrestling background, dude.
It's a great fight to watch if you're a casual like myself.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Because.
It's the most exciting part of MMA.
It's not this wrestling like on the ground shit.
No.
It's like watching a real life street fight.
It's like what would happen if you just got a bunch of cars
and around in a circle
and you just had two guys
just fucking go at it?
You got one guy
who is the noble champion
Nigerian man,
doesn't really talk much,
very strong sound type
and you got this fucking,
I'm like myself,
and then you got this,
then you got this white man
who is playing up the heel
and in a way,
and the great part
about it was,
and if you watch wrestling, sometimes crowds swing.
And if you see Colby coming to the cage, this is UFC country.
This is like a lot of motherfuckers who like that Make America Great Again shit.
Motherfuckers just chanting USA for that dude a lot of the time during the fight.
And as the fight wore on, and saw like the warrior fucking spirit in this dude
just chopped this dude down
little by little. Broke his fucking
jaw with a
I think it was a left hand. Straight right.
Mean fucking right hand.
Broke his jaw. Give it to Kobe
though because the motherfucker, he's tough as shit.
They both fought brilliantly.
Here's the thing. And this is the crazy
thing. If I thought the stoppage was early, but I'm not upset at it.
I think that Colby was defending himself.
I think that Kamaru could have got the stoppage very easily,
but I thought it was a little early.
But if he makes it through the fifth round,
they looked at the scorecards,
and I think two of them were tied or something.
But it was different because I was listening to Rogan.
Rogan said they got to fire the fuckingcard judges yeah because those motherfuckers don't
know what they're doing because he thought obviously kamara fought the better fight
but i'm watching it i'm listening to the crowd i'm listening to the it's close i'm like besides
the fifth round but by the fourth round i was by the third or fourth round i was literally watching
it like this result's gonna piss me off because it's going to get a distance and I think they're
going to give it to this dude.
Yeah.
Probably, you know, but.
I mean, I'm pissed off that I would have liked, I would have liked a questionable decision
just because it creates a trilogy potential.
Yeah.
And there's nothing better than these two guys going back and forth about it.
I think they'll go back at it again.
Or, well, here's the problem.
The fight was too good.
Here's the problem.
I hope they do, but here's the problem.
And they should, but if it went to a decision, at least for Kumaro, who deserved it, because
I think he won bare minimum three rounds convincingly, right, of what I saw, if it's a decision,
he can always dispute the decision and go, let's run it back.
You can't dispute a knockout.
You can't dispute getting your ass fucking whooped like that, right?
So there's less of an impetus for the rematch.
But I think that if he gets a couple more impressive victories,
you will see it.
And where Kobe fucked up is because even with all the antics that,
you know, generally, personally, I'm not a fan of,
but as a fan of wrestling and drama and all this other shit, I'm like, I get what you're doing.
This is dope.
I'll pay to watch this.
The thing he should have done is said, Kamaru fought a great fight.
I did what I had to do, yada, yada, yada.
He sprints from the fucking cage.
Yeah, it was really weird.
Real pussy shit.
He was talking wildcat shit the entire fucking lead up.
I don't even think he did a fucking press conference.
Maybe because I don't know if you have to go to the hospital
or whatever I like you didn't do the press conference and then the first thing
he does is get on Twitter and and bitch out the ref and bitch out the scorecards
and all this other shit and early stoppage like my dude you won me over
even like personally I didn't want you to win cuz I don't fuck with your you
know the things that you're talking about but during the fight you're
looking on the timeline.
The motherfucker's like, say what you want about this motherfucker Kobe.
He's tough as shit.
He's tough as shit.
He's going at it.
And then he just kind of went back to bitching shit.
Like, normally people do their fucking in the bedroom.
Not the octagon, Mark Goodard.
I go in there to kill or be killed.
You robbed me of that.
You robbed the people of a fair fight.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Fake nut shot, fake eye poke. Fake stoppage. Fake ref.
Well, the motherfucker's going to kill you if they don't stop
the fight. Here's what I'm thinking.
If you thought that
he hated immigrants before
this fight,
do you know what I mean?
If you thought he was
a gimmick or a character in MAGA,
he's definitely MAGA now.
Now he is.
I think this is what took him to get on board.
Oh, no.
I obviously do not think he's playing a character.
I just think he's doing what he really believes.
He's just turning it up to 11.
So here's the thing.
That's what he said, right?
That's what he said.
That, like, I finally got the courage to do what's inside me.
But he needs to say that because if it comes out,
he's a gimmick.
But like,
literally,
I was talking to Shawb,
you know,
Brandon Shawb,
who does,
you know,
Fighter and the Kid
and he does a food truck diaries.
They did a food truck diaries.
He's like going over
what he has to say
when they stop the camera
and then Shawb's like,
bro,
you don't have to do this.
If you want,
we can just do it normal.
And he goes,
no,
I gotta do it.
Like reluctantly and
then he's talking you know he like hires girls to be with him and he's like could you girls like
i don't know maybe massage my back or something during like the whole thing is shtick so it's
like and he's exhausted by the shtick yeah but at the same point he's almost out of ufc if he
doesn't do this you pay him bro you gotta do it you have to do the shtick. You paying, bro. You got to do it. You have to do that shit.
You have to do that shit.
Have you seen this fucking, this video?
But wait, Drew, you don't think he is Republican?
You don't think at all?
Dude, he was best friends with all these guys, like Jorge Masvidal, like all these dudes.
They were all homies.
There's even a point once when he was in like Florida
and like some Muslim dudes like run up on him
and they're like, how do you feel about the Muslim faith
or something like that?
And he's like, and like they caught him
when he's not like character character.
And he goes, no, I love Muslims.
It's great.
It's like you should believe in whatever you want.
This is America.
You know what I mean?
Like he's like, oh, like it's complete shtick. And I was talking to Rogan and them he's like oh like it's it's complete shtick
and i was talking to rogan them about it he's like it's just shtick now it's convincing because
he looks the part yeah and there is this feel like it's so hilarious to see like twitter gets
so excited and legit journalists sports journalists were getting excited about it and dress was going
in but like you know he's faking it it's like it's like getting seriously happy about
like the undertaker losing because you hate dead people or something like this
like oh i hate people who come back from the dead finally someone got him john cena got him it's
like wait are you taking this at face value like you're a journalist like you know the real real
what i think is,
and Andreas is a smart fucking dude.
Andreas is so funny. That motherfucker act like there's
a hurricane around his mentions.
If you look at anybody who tweets him, they're
fake. He's like,
all these mega people in my mentions, I'm looking at them,
they got no followers and they're no,
it's not real. But that's them though.
I get that shit too. I think Andreas
made all those accounts.
No, those bots and shit are real as fuck But I guess
If it is schtick
Great
That's schtick for him
Yeah but if you really
That doesn't mean like
Hundreds of thousands of people
Aren't watching like
Yeah fuck those niggers up
Like yo
But here's the thing
What you should do is
If you really wanted to fight it
Yeah that's what they sound like
I know it's rough
It's hard to hear
No but if you want to
If you want to fight it
What you do is this.
You go, hey, this is shtick.
Any of you guys following this, you're idiots.
It's fake.
Expose the gimmick.
But he doubled down, though.
Of course he's going to double down.
But I-
Like, Conor did that, too.
Conor had shtick.
Conor was, you know-
There was never this kind of shtick.
When he was fighting the homeboy, the Russian dude.
Actually, I believe Conor, 100%.
When he was fighting the Russian dude, he was like, bro, after fucking dude hopped the fence,
he was like, dude, I'm just trying to sell tickets, man.
I'm just trying to get buys.
He wasn't trying to disrespect Homeboy.
I forgot the dude's name.
Khabib?
Khabib, yeah.
He wasn't trying to disrespect him.
He was like, oh, man, just trying to sell tickets, dude.
After you take the L, this is the most cringy shit.
Did you see this?
No.
Henry Cueto?
Cejudo.
Cejudo, whatever.
I don't speak Mexican. Just No. Henry Cueto. Cejudo. Cejudo, whatever. I don't speak Mexican.
I'm just kidding.
Yes, guys.
I love this shit.
Press play.
This is the most cringeworthy.
I'm going to talk shtick. I'm going to have good hair.
All right.
So upon my return, I really did want to fight Dominic Cruz.
But I thought about it, and he's too broke.
If I was to tell Dominic Cruz to bend a knee, he'd pop his damn neck out.
Actually, I'm not here to talk about Dominic.
I'm here to talk about Jose Waldo.
I want to give him a clap in his last performance because I don't know what people thought he won.
I want to congratulate him because now he's part of the Henderson who will sweep states.
But it's under my terms.
I want to fight him in my city.
Rio de Janeiro.
This is great.
Daddy's coming home.
Dana White, let's sign that contract.
I am one life.
Oh, God damn it. This is great. Yeah, god damn it.
This is great.
Your movie sucks.
What did he say?
Your movie sucks.
Yeah.
Look at your man.
That's how you sell tickets.
That is how you sell tickets.
Oh, this is great.
God damn it.
This is great.
If they keep doing this,
it's going to be the,
they're going to take over WWE.
That's all UFC's been missing.
And why wouldn't you watch this instead of WWE? That's all UFC's been missing.
And why wouldn't you watch this instead of WWE?
Of course.
This is real stakes.
But everybody's getting hip to it, though, man.
Everybody's getting hip to the game WWE plays.
Everybody watches the UFC.
It's like, yo, this is real fighting.
This is real fucking action.
This is real stakes.
Real money's on the line.
Why isn't this more popular than the WWE?
Nobody's watching WWE for action. I mean, some people are mean some people are i i do for the drama and the story they watch for
the drama they watch for the storyline you got to bring people in you got to tell a fucking story
yeah we watch people we got youtube now we can watch motherfuckers fight in the street any
fucking day we can watch people die before that storylines. We need some shit to get emotionally invested
in, and that's what the UFC has lacked
for the past couple years. Every super
popular or successful UFC
fighter has had a fucking schtick
or a storyline. Go to this. Go to
Twitter and find the promo,
and I post it, for the
Conor McGregor-Donald Cerrone fight. Have you guys seen
this promo video? Oh, cold.
This is unbelievable. I fucked around and brought some proper 12 over the weekend just
because of the fucking, just because of the video. And nobody's paying me to say this.
It's quite delicious. Is it really? It is actually really good. I like it better than Jameson.
I like it better than Jameson. Oh, okay. It's a whiskey. It's a whiskey. Yeah. It's the same.
It's the same. Wait a minute, guys. It's kind of.
Okay. Go to the beginning. Can a minute, guys. It's kind of. Love deuces.
Okay, go to the beginning.
Can we do volume on this or what?
All right, let's pump this up.
But the UFC motherfucking needs that guy back more than anything.
Conor McGregor.
The UFC?
No, the video.
So I don't know.
Oh, yeah.
We can play the audio for the soundcloud but maybe we'll just
mute it for youtube just mark the time and then we're gonna talk over this while we're
just mark the time then we're cool okay when conor mcgregor fights you're witnessing something
that comes along once in a lifetime who was going out there time and time again The song is great
So it's just Connor knocking motherfuckers out
Prime Connor
Jose Aldo sit down son
Seven seconds
Don't worry we won't have to deal with this much longer
Look at that
Oh
Two titles simultaneously
Oh that looks good What he's been able to do in such a short period of time Look at that. Oh. Two titles simultaneously.
Oh, that looks good.
What he's been able to do in such a short period of time has been nothing short of magnificent.
Conor.
Ugh.
God damn.
It's all good.
Don't worry.
McGregor has transcended the sport.
The game changer, Conor McGregor.
He's been away for some time now.
Who should welcome him back to the octagon
This is a great shot
Conor doesn't care
Conor says I will fight anybody anytime
The wealth
Dude
He's like I don't need to fight
For the fucking money god damn it
You see my car
You see my fit
This shot
This shot
How do you not root for that
Motherfucking cowboy
On the white horse though
Sit down How do you not root for that? Motherfucking cowboy. On the white horse, though.
Sit down.
Woof.
Vroom.
I love that little sound.
Vroom.
Oh, sit down.
You're too slow and too stiff.
You're stiff as a board.
I'd snap you in half Come on
The game is
The game is
Missed Connor god damn it Yeah.
Amazing.
Amazing, whoever edited it.
This would be a great place to watch.
A great fight to watch at the new Sprawl.
Exactly.
Maybe we invite some folks. Whoever edited that was amazing because every major hit was with a snare drum.
You heard the snare.
I love that.
So fucking smart to do that shit.
God damn.
They brought fucking music video aspects to a fucking fight promo.
And do that first scene of him on the horse in the snow.
Yeah.
You're like, oh.
And what a great juxtaposition.
He's got the rides, the cars, the glitz,
and this guy's just like country.
All-American boy.
All the cowboy hat.
I can't wait.
Dude, I'm not going to lie.
I think they took that out of the Stylebender promo.
Probably.
I mean, when he puts his videos out,
he adds that type of music
video stylistic
thing to it
and I think UFC
is like oh shit
we need to
I think they need
to step their shit up
from watching Stylebender
the Stylebender
promoted himself
oh he wrote
he did his own video
on it
yeah he does
a lot of the
you know the ones
he puts out after
where it's like
like the anime
that's built into it and shit like that?
He's doing that.
That's not UFC.
That's next level.
That is next level.
Boy, it was a good fight weekend, man.
Dude, Terrence Crawford.
Dude, the fight game is in such a good situation right now, boxing and UFC.
I find myself really intrigued with UFC.
Nah, especially UFC.
Especially UFC.
Even boxing too.
But UFC especially.
Right about now, they're kind of getting to a nice groove.
They got the Nigerian takeover happening.
They got Conor coming back.
They got, I think, Amanda Nunes next week, who she's probably...
No, no, she won already.
Oh, she fought already?
She fought already.
Oh, yeah.
Well, she's out.
That's what she does.
Did y'all talk about Anthony Johnson?
I know that's boxing, but...
Oh, yeah, with Andy Ruiz.
That fight.
Oh, yeah, the fight That fight Oh yeah the fight
Yeah I was thinking of Rumble Johnson
We didn't talk about it but
The fight was ass
He was like
I was partying too much
He was on defense the whole fight
Ruiz came in
Not even in shape
Not even in shape yeah
It was just such a
Huge disappointment
The whole thing
He just wanted
But you can tell
He just wanted his payday
And he's probably never going to fight again.
And he proved everybody right.
It's like you look at Ruiz, and you're like,
oh, you don't have any discipline.
You're a fat guy.
And then, of course, he goes, no, you know,
just my metabolism is slow, but I do work hard.
And then for the biggest moment in your career,
you come in 15 pounds overweight.
It's like, no, you don't have discipline.
That's why you're fat.
There's no other reason besides you do not have discipline.
Simple as that.
At the end of the day, having abs is different than being skinny.
Like you can be skinny and not have abs.
You can be skinny and not be like Diesel.
Abs and discipline.
Discipline is what stops you from being extremely overweight.
So do you have it?
Do you not?
And Andy just doesn't have it.
Speaking of abs, no homo.
What happened?
Have you seen a homeboy from, what's his name?
Kamau, the guy in-
Nanjani?
Why are you pointing at me like I would know?
I was pointing at Alex.
I thought he was like, have you seen this motherfucker?
Is that really him?
That'd be no.
Bro.
He's training for, he's getting in shape for, not in humans.
What's the name of the fucking, Eternals.
The Marvel movie.
Yeah.
You seen this motherfucker?
Yeah, I saw a picture.
I didn't think it was real.
It's real?
Bro.
Yeah, but I I be thinking these like
especially the Hollywood guys
cause they don't get tested
or whatever
so they
they pump up all this shit
so
no yeah yeah
I'm not hating
they ain't in competition
yo listen
if I was famous
if I was in Hollywood
and I'm about to be
in a fucking Marvel movie
next year
give me all the fucking rights
and it's just funny
cause he goes
he goes from
Mr. Funny Guy
it's not competition
he goes from Mr. Funny Guy to now he's-
Look at this motherfucker.
You dead ass.
Like, I don't even-
How do you get a chiseled jaw?
How the fuck-
Yeah, exactly.
With the jaw cover.
He got the fucking John Cena veins on his right arm and shit.
Like, you know how hard it is to get those?
Yo, I was kind of aroused.
I was kind of aroused.
I was looking at this and I was like, yo.
And our final announcement
this week.
One last announcement.
Since Akash isn't here,
I am gay.
But I know if Akash sees this,
he's probably going to...
Oh, he's going to hate.
He's going to hate
because Akash is like
top three Indians.
Oh, bro.
Ben to now, son?
Look at that shit.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Goddamn.
That's crazy.
Nah, that motherfucker got ripped.
I don't get a lot of male envy as far as like, just abs though.
I look at somebody's abs and I'm like, yo.
Can you explain that?
What is the Eternal?
It's a Marvel movie coming out in the next couple years about like these motherfuckers
who have lived like 300 years throughout the universe and fucking coming together to save
the fucking world. I think Angelina Jolie's in it. It coming together to save the fucking world.
I think Angelina Jolie's in it.
It's supposed to be a big movie.
So it's going to be more
Guardians of the Galaxy type stuff.
So they go to different universes and shit.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but goddamn.
I don't get male envy for a lot of shit,
but if you got good abs,
I could look at you and be like,
I like those.
That's the biggest conversation a guy can give a chick, right?
That's the biggest compliment you could give another dude.
You won't say they look good, but you're like, I can see why bitches like that.
That's the closest I'll get to saying you look good, bro.
I'm like, nah.
I can see why bitches like that.
Bro, I got ab envy, man. I'm like, nah. I can see why bitches like that. Yo. Bro, I got ab envy, man.
I be complimented to fit.
I compliment to fit. You compliment to fit?
That's my way of saying, like, oh, you look good.
But a fit is, you know what I mean?
That shit looks nice on you.
Oh, nah, that looks good on you. You got that.
You got that. Oh, yeah, my motherfucking
Paperboy's in it, too. Should be a good movie.
But, holy shit.
I am aroused.
Whoa.
All right.
I'm going to switch the topic before Kaz comes on the bottom of our table.
Sorry, guys.
Yo, how about them Lakers, bro?
Fucking.
Wow.
Okay.
I need to shout out one guy real quick.
Shout him out.
Asshole Army.
There's a guy and his Instagram is karma with two A's.
C-A-R-M-A-A-S-A-B-I-T-C-H.
So it's like karma's a bitch.
He got fired from his job Because his job
Found out that he was doing
He was listening to my stand up clips
Or watching my stand up clips
Now
I think he might have just been trash at his job
And they just used that as an excuse
And I asked him that as a possibility
That being said but he's from the Toronto area
If you're from the Toronto area
Asshole army represent You need some security That's a possibility. That being said, but he's from the Toronto area. If you're from the Toronto area, asshole army, represent.
You know what I mean?
You need some security.
You need somebody in, I don't know what exactly his other expertises are,
but holler at him because we can't have people getting fired while they're supporting.
So karma's a bitch.
Go DM him and just help him out if you possibly can
or give him a job lead or something like that or take care of your boy.
Let him know the Army provides.
Real talk, the Army provides.
We got to do that shit 100%.
All day, all day.
What else we got, Kaz?
Yo, these fucking Lakers, bro.
Yeah, so Lakers are legit, huh?
Shit.
I haven't been watching.
Bro.
This pass is dope.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Sick.
Oh.
Goddamn.
It's like motherfuckers having career years again.
Dwight Howard's back from the dead
Fucking Anthony Davis
Probably gonna be
Defensive player of the year
LeBron's fucking killing
And he's got all that time
To be a good father
On top of that
Yo question
Did you see the clips
From Bronny's game
Yes
I wasn't that impressed B
Bro he's in 9th grade
But he's
But he's playing against seniors
Is that why
Yes
No these are like
Highly ranked
High school teams
That he's playing against.
Okay.
Sierra Canyon is the number one team in the country.
They have a bunch of, outside of Zaire Wade and Bron James, they have like a mad high D1 guys on their team.
So just the fact that Bronny Jr. is even getting time on his team is impressive.
But his shot selection was peculiar.
It was like all these floaters from like 20 feet out.
Yeah. But his shot selection was peculiar. It was like all these floaters from like 20 feet out. Yeah, but the motherfucker, I mean,
here's one thing I understand about Braun is,
he's what, 14 years old?
15, I think.
14, 15 years old.
I forgot the team he was playing.
He was playing against St. Vincent St. Mary,
which also nationally ranks.
Of course, yeah.
They're one of the best players in Ohio.
They won.
It was his best game as a high school player.
Right.
Like, I've watched other games
where maybe he'll have like a layup or a dunk and he'll be on sports center whatever but like
this is like an actual game where like he really played well he got mvp of the fucking game and
shit right like he's no mikey williams and mikey williams is probably like the best ninth grader
in the country he's the one who dropped like 77 yeah it's unbelievable unbelievable kid but
but brawny is you know what I mean?
It makes me think this.
He's a different player than LeBron.
Yes, but in order for him to reach the league,
he's going to have to have a growth spurt.
I think he will.
How tall is he?
I think he will.
He was only 6'3".
6'1".
Oh, 6'2".
Okay, yeah.
So here's the thing with Bronny.
I saw him over the summer at the Peace Jam when he was playing for...
Yo, Savannah's so fucking dope.
You see Savannah in the background?
That's what the fuck is up.
The realest.
I saw him at the Peace Jam while I was doing commentary, and he was only about barely six
feet at the time.
So he's growing. I think he's 6'1". And he is growing. He was barely six feet at the time. So he's growing.
I think he's 6'1".
He was barely dunking at the time.
That was the thing.
He had, like, the rim grazer dunk package in 2K.
Now the motherfucker's getting windmills and shit,
catching alley-oops.
Like, bro, he's got time.
He's got three, four years in high school to fill out, grow up, get stronger.
He's a baby.
He's five games to seven games to his high school career, though.
He's going to be good.
He's going to be very fucking good.
Injury, you know.
I just wasn't shocked with his.
I just wasn't blown away.
That kid, Mikey Williams or whatever like that, he's got some clips where it's like you're blown away.
He's ridiculous, yeah.
But they're like the same height, too.
Mikey Williams is probably like same build, like 6'2", 6'3", or whatever.
But the motherfucker hops out the gym and he gets buckets.
But I think that Bronny, obviously, if he grows to a—
That's Mikey Williams, by the way.
Yeah, insane.
Just fucking ridiculous.
There's something different with these kids.
I don't know what the fuck is going on with my high school kids lately.
That scared me.
You got it.
From here, you got it.
He's a beast in a sense where I know they're not going to play this kid this season.
They don't want that.
Oh, Sierra Canyon don't want that.
Not yet.
I don't think Bronny's there yet.
But I've been watching this kid since seventh grade.
I think Bronny can be good.
I just,
from what I see right now,
he needs to grow.
Because I think that you see
certain things early.
Like you see
jumping ability.
You see like fast twitch
kind of like movement early.
Like there's a little kid
on Bronny's team.
He's much smaller.
I think he runs point.
Do you know the kid
I'm talking about? I want to say it's Dior Johnson. I's much smaller. I think he runs point. Do you know the kid I'm talking about?
I want to say it's Dior Johnson.
I don't know.
I mean, agility is through the roof, right?
Like, just bouncing back and forth.
It's unbelievable.
But he's small.
So for Bronny with what he has, I think he needs to be up there in that, like, 6'7", 6'8 range.
I was thinking, like, if he tops out at 6'6", 6'7", he'll be all right.
He doesn't got to be 6'9", like his dad.
But if he tops out at 6'6", I can see him being a good shooting guard.
I can see him like a DeMar DeRozan type.
Right.
I can see him being one of those slashing guards and shit.
We're also putting the LeBron James pressure on him.
We're giving him the expectation of LeBron.
Here's the thing.
A lot of people are saying, oh, oh my God, like, we're putting
too much pressure on the kid.
I'm like, yo,
if there's anybody
more built for this
type of pressure...
It's him,
because he's lived
with it his whole life.
He's lived with it
his entire life.
The motherfucker
has been in the public eye
since he was...
I remember the first time
I saw LeBron James Jr.
Right.
I think when they first won
the state of heat championship
or whatever.
He might have been
five or six years old
or whatever.
But...
But, god damn,
it's a big kid.
Jesus Christ, who the fuck is that?
He in eighth grade too?
Shit.
Jesus Christ.
But, nah, man, like, I think, you know, putting the LeBron James number one player in the
country straight to the league type of pressure on him is a lot.
Yeah.
Is he going to be a productive college and eventual NBA player?
I think so.
I don't think he's acting too much, but at the same time.
Oh, you think he's going to college?
Ooh.
I don't know.
I mean, by the time.
He won't have to.
By the time.
Nope.
I mean, I think by the time he's, I think by the time it's time for him to go to college,
I think that rule will be long gone.
Right. I think in the next three or four years. I don't college, I think that rule will be long gone. Right.
I think in the next three or four years.
I don't think if he has to, he's not going to go.
Here's the thing.
If I am LeBron James Jr., go to college.
Really?
Go to college.
Why?
Money ain't going to make no difference.
No, it ain't about money.
Bro, he—
Learn the game.
You got to let him be that kid, bro.
Yeah, but don't—
You got to let him be that kid.
You don't think LeBron wants to play with him?
I do.
I do.
And I think, so, the fastest way to get him to play with him? I do. And I think so
the fastest way to get him to the league comes straight to the league.
I totally understand that, but I think just him
as... I don't think he's
going to get that kid experience
now, obviously. And the high school
has... The fact that ESPN is broadcasting
his games as a freshman, they're not there to see
Zaire Wade. They're not there to see
Aldis Edda. They're there to see Bron Jr.
By the time he gets to that college level,
I don't think going to
school or going to the NBA, I don't think
he's going to be any more popular.
The hype's only going to get bigger.
I do think he should do a year of college.
I think he should do that March Madness experience.
I think he needs to go and be the man
somewhere for a little bit.
Granted, we're talking about a freshman in high school
here, but
I think
he should do at least one year
in school before he makes that jump.
Like you said, I do think he needs to get that growth spurt.
I think he'll get it because
he's got bronch.
I didn't hit a growth spurt until I was 16.
So LeBron...
That's funny.
You had one. It was just this way So LeBron was 6 foot at 13
And then by
In two years
His sophomore year
He was 6'6
Yeah
I can see that
So he could go up
I can see that
I think he'll get that
I think whatever
Whatever fucking
Whatever shit they gave
LaMelo Ball
Oh yeah
They're gonna give him that shit Cause LaMelo Ball. Oh, yeah. They won't be giving him bronze.
They're going to give him that shit because LaMelo Ball, I was like, I don't know.
Shut up.
I don't see it in Lonzo.
Not a motherfucking 6'7".
Yeah.
He was like 6'1".
Nah, it's a different situation.
Yo, did y'all see the video of the Patriots thing?
What, the Spygate 2?
Son, the Patriots were cheating to beat the Bengals?
There's ever a way of cheating, bro.
The Bengals have won one game this year.
Honestly, though, kind of makes me respect the Patriots.
Because it's that serious to them.
It's that fucking serious.
We don't give a fuck about the Bengals.
Yo, they're really trying to brush this shit under the rug.
We cheated.
That means they do it every game.
Every fucking game.
And the crazy thing about it is nobody seems to care.
It's almost like Trump with the impeachment.
It's just like, oh, that's the new news?
It's like we're used to the Patriots, I guess, cheating.
It's what they do.
It's part of the culture.
It's the Patriot way.
If there is a, they've said this.
He said, Bill Belichick has said said if there is a line to dance on
we're gonna dance and come dangerously close to that line until you know you you until it shocks
us and says like all right we won't do that but ever since i guess like the last buy gate he was
like we're not even gonna come to the line at all we're not gonna do any of this shit yeah but
clearly they're fucking lying they're still gonna they're still going to fucking do that shit.
Because that's how the way Belichick gets down.
And you know what?
If you've gotten this one, like, does anybody give a fuck when they count rings?
No.
Jay Glazer reported that shit like he had the biggest news of the century. And nobody gave a fuck.
I know.
He was going in, too. It looks like fucking Watergate footage. And nobody gives a fuck. I know. He was going in, too.
It looks like fucking Watergate footage.
And nobody gives a shit.
But it was funny hearing a guy that got this real New England guy going.
Oh, so he saw him.
Oh, my bad.
I'm reading the captions.
So the security's like, hey, you can't film this.
Oh, my bad.
We'll delete it.
We'll delete it.
Literally.
But you got to hear his voice.
He's this New England guy.
He goes, yeah, we could delete it right off.
I can't do a Boston accent, but we could delete it right off of here.
No, because there's no other way to see it.
My camera is the only thing I have.
I mean, they're clearly trying to cheat.
They're clearly trying to cheat.
They are cheating.
They're well aware that this is illegal, and they're telling him, hey, you can't do that.
He's still filming.
He was like, I think his excuse
they were getting like
b-roll or some shit like that
b-roll of the field
because they were following
around a scout
you know what he's doing
and the scout
and the scout wasn't even
he's stolen as long as he can
he's probably asking
questions
oh what happens
if we do this
like they're still
filming the shit
god damn
shout out Jay Glazer
so here's the thing
that is interesting the only five foot man amongstzer, bro. So here's the thing that is interesting, right?
The only five-foot man amongst all these athletes.
So here's the thing that's interesting, right?
Yeah.
Is we don't care if the Patriots cheat or not because we expect them to cheat, right?
That's us.
But if you're somebody that put a lot of money on that game, right?
And you bet against the Patriots. If you're someone who's put a lot of money on that game, right, and you bet against the Patriots,
if you're someone who's put a lot of money on any game this season
against the Patriots,
you must assume that this is not the first time they cheated.
They've been doing this every single week.
Oh, yeah.
So if that's the case, as someone who bet,
I would be going nuts because I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You should be going nuts.
Losing that bet, I should be able to get my money back at the very least.
Listen, that's why motherfuckers like us are going to start getting broken as the years go by, man.
As gambling is becoming illegal in every state.
Yeah.
That's why they're making motherfuckers have real heights for NBA, real fucking injury reports.
They can't fucking hold that shit back until the day of.
All this shit.
It's because of fucking gambling.
And if you're fucking up the gambling money, either the league going to take care of it,
and if the league don't take care of it, you know who's going to take care of it?
Motherfuckers that take care of shit.
For real.
And that ain't going to be pretty for nobody.
We're going to start getting fucking niggas throwing games, throwing fucking, what's the black sock scandal when they threw
the whole fucking World Series?
Like, that shit's going to come back.
Right.
That shit's going to come back, especially if they're not really disciplining them over
that, you know?
And, you know, it's the Patriots, so they cheat.
Well, it's just, I'm surprised, I'm surprised more people, maybe nobody put money on the
Bengals, and maybe that's the issue, but I'm surprised more people haven't caused a stink
over this.
Somebody did, and the Patriots did the cute shit and let the Bengals score first.
Like, see, we weren't even using this shit.
And then just fucking demolished them for the rest of the game.
I didn't watch the game.
Did they do that?
They got on the board early at first.
I'm like, oh, that's smart, Belichick.
Let them think.
You know what I mean?
So here's what's the most impressive thing about this.
Let's say the Patriots have been cheating like this for the last 10 years, right?
Not a single snitch?
Like even in the organization.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Even in the organization that will cut you ruthlessly.
They will cut you ruthlessly.
Over allegations.
Over allegations.
Over anything.
Not a single snitch?
That means not a lot of people know.
Probably the teammates don't know.
It's probably just Brady.
Well, then how are they going to learn about the plays that the other team has, right?
The advantage that they're doing is going –
the advantage that they have is they know what plays the other team is going to run.
Yeah, but the offensive and defensive coordinator is like,
hey, I think you should go with –
So you know what it is.
You know what it is.
Allegedly the people filming this are like part of like their like are part of their Patriots.com channel or whatever, right?
So nothing can come back to Belichick.
Yeah, Belichick's whole stink is like, oh, we don't even touch that stuff.
That's PR.
But you know there's a guy who connects with another guy.
Of course.
And that's like, yo.
Yeah, keep the circle nice and tight.
Keep it nice and tight
no leaks
none of that shit
what happened with the Astros
the motherfuckers
was stealing signs
I can't believe
that more stink
hasn't been made about that
no people don't care
about cheese
the World Series
was won
they won the World Series
but fuck
fuck whether your team
won or lost
yeah
it's about
betting on the game
like people lost
millions of dollars betting on that
game. How are you not asking
for your money back?
How are you not suing?
If I was someone who lost the money,
I would sue the Astros.
Not the betting agency. I would sue the Astros.
I lost millions of dollars. You guys made me
lose the money because I bet on this game
assuming that you guys would be operating
through fair and true practices.
Clean game, yeah.
Clean game.
It's not clean.
What do they do in boxing
when somebody's on steroids?
Oh.
No decision.
No decision.
Right?
Same with MMA.
Same with maybe other sports as well.
Same with the Olympics.
Oh, you won a gold medal?
Oh, you were on EPO?
You don't have a gold medal.
But with baseball?
Something is off here, dude.
Something's off.
Something don't get bigger
than us it's gonna be fucking we gotta fucking blow the you should honestly i could i could stop
this right now i can stop the entire thing right now you make it legal to sue the cheating team
you don't take away the rings or anything like that but they won't cheat knowing that they're
gonna have billions of dollars of lawsuits towards them so they're like oh it's not worth it because
if we do get caught then the organization goes goes, Belichick, stop fucking with that cheating
shit.
Stop fucking with that cheating shit.
I mean, these teams are worth billions of dollars, though.
You think the Yankees can't afford a little?
They're probably shaking off lawsuits like Marv Albert, dog.
Like, what the fuck?
Like, a couple hundred thousand dollar lawsuits here, a couple million dollars.
That's nothing to them.
They just spent like $300 million on a pitcher.
You seen Harvey Weinstein, bro?
Son.
Son, Harvey Weinstein came out and said women should be grateful for me.
Yo, you called this a couple weeks ago, didn't you?
Did I say that?
What did he say?
He said women should be grateful for what I've done for them.
They've forgotten what I did for them.
You said this a few weeks ago.
He not wrong.
Yo, let me tell you something.
Harvey Weinstein.
I deserve a pat on the back.
All I'm saying is-
Disguise.
When I saw that shit, I was like-
That's ballsy.
But look at this.
Why would you say that?
Son, this is all media.
This is-
Dude, the media is so corrupt, bro.
Look at this.
Ready?
Look how the shot-
Look how this picture is taken.
What do you see in this picture vividly?
Was that a walker? A walker and- Oh, and the IV. All this picture is taken What do you see in this picture vividly? Was that a walker?
A walker and
Oh and the IV
All this IV and shit in his hand
This picture is made
To be sympathetic for him
Wow
All this shit is
Bro
Oh you think so?
I can see that
100%
So his eyes all fucked up
I actually thought it was kinda
They were setting him up
No
Because it's like
He's at rehabilitation right now.
Right? So they might have given him
some meds. He could be on his like,
fuck, who was that guy
who was talking shit? You know what happened? He probably met one of them girls
at the Lower East Side Comedy Club and told him shit.
But this is what
allegedly happened. Apparently he decides to get
this back surgery, this, that, the other. His back's fucked up,
right? Every old person's back is fucked up.
But look at all these pictures.
Him with the walker. He's dressed
normal with his normal sneakers.
He's not dressed like a billionaire.
Bro, they're doing it
so that you sympathize with him.
100%. Go back to the other shot.
It's a regular hospital bed.
It's not some fancy billionaire thing.
It's regular. Everything is normal here.
Now, even his shirt has got fucking cornflakes all over it or something.
I don't know what it is.
What was that, Cheetos dust?
Some shit.
But they're trying to make you feel bad for him.
Apparently, there's video of him walking around without the walker.
Really?
But for why?
Because that's what they do when you're in a criminal trial, because they want the jury
to feel bad for you.
Oh, so he bought this shit.
Son, of course. Of course he bought this shit. Son, of course.
Of course he bought this shit.
God damn.
Look at his poor old man.
He told them what time to come and all that type of stuff.
Of course.
And dude, they were trying to intimidate the witnesses.
He's giving $25 million to these girls, so they shut up.
And they're going to shut up, which is hysterical
because you just prove him right.
What did he say the whole time?
They just want my money.
And then he gives them money, and they're just like, yeah, you're right.
And he doesn't have to admit any wrongdoing either.
Bro, you shouldn't be allowed.
That's why I think the justice system is always fucked up.
This is exactly why.
If you got bread, you will get ahead.
If you got Weinstein money, you don't get by.
You know what I'm saying?
That's the reason why.
And 50 said this shit on Instagram the other day about Oprah going after Russell Simmons
and R. Kelly and Bill Cosby and all this type of stuff.
Like, yo, love Bill, love R. Kelly, they ain't got Weinstein money.
It's like, you know, Oprah ain't climbing up that tree.
That tree will fall on you.
Yeah, why is Oprah getting all this smoke
I mean
well I guess
and also there's a lot of
okay we gotta cover
a couple things
before we finish up here
but we gotta wrap up soon
but uh
I wanna know why
Oprah's getting this smoke
and then I also wanna know
why Eminem
and Nick Cannon
are fighting
here's my thing
Oprah's getting the smoke
because she's going
after black people
it seems as though
she's going after black people
after
for what my thing is whenever she backs a documentary Oprah's getting the smoke because she's going after black people. It seems as though she's going after black people. After all these-
For what?
My thing is-
Whenever she backs a documentary or something like that, it just happens to be a black entertainer.
It's always a tag on other black entertainers, which is a little-
It smells a little weird.
My thing is, if I'm Oprah, you got to at least throw somebody else in there just to mix it up.
Yeah.
You ain't just going to go all black.
Why?
Well, speaking of trees not falling on me, I don't know.
So I'm not going to say nothing crazy about Oprah.
But there's something really uncomfortable because these are people that she's worked with.
And Russell Simmons, if you can find Russell Simmons' post that he did responding to to oprah coming out with his
documentary whatever he says a bunch of things just kind of like questioning like why she's coming
after him granted like you know i guess he's speaking his piece and i don't want to mess up
any details so i'm not gonna like act like i know exactly what he said but he's basically pointing
out like hey listen like all these things happened about 30 years ago uh i've
taken dozens a lie detector test i've been proven innocent to this this that this is that this is
that you're only talking out of all these people who have gone on the record and say whatever you're
talking to people in specific and okay if i could it's all in this fuck but maybe we don't have to
read the whole thing yeah okay so here's my question yeah is it possible i'm just throwing it out here but like oprah goes well this is closer to me in my community yeah that's why it's important whereas
maybe the average person doesn't give a fuck about harvey weinstein or no harvey weinstein
whereas was was russell preying on women in her community was Harvey.
I mean, Harvey's like banging these little white girls, right?
Maybe that's not as important.
Russell wasn't necessarily banging all these black girls either.
Right.
She was banging them.
I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
I'm like, why is that story more interesting?
Here's the thing.
I absolutely understand where Oprah's coming from.
There's definitely a train of thought to, hey, this is my community. These are the people I know.
These are the people I've trusted with my platform in my past.
So I don't want to be a hypocrite
and be like, oh, I'm not going to go after these people just
because they've done work with me in the past.
I'm fair, yada, yada, yada. There's definitely a school of thought
on that. On the other hand,
it's kind of fishy.
It's kind of fishy, man. Especially after
the Michael.
I don't know.
I don't understand
what she got out of
going after Michael Jackson
who's been dead for over 10 years.
Yeah, I feel that's
the only misstep, really.
You know what I mean?
Just the fact that
they put the Michael thing out
without having all the concrete.
But did she go after?
Oh, she went after R. Kelly too?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is like,
fuck R. Kelly.
R. Kelly, I support it.
And even this Rush shit like i don't
think she's going after rush she's just pointing out a big thing because the me too movement uh
it pointed out all the shit going on in hollywood but it didn't talk about what was happening in
music and it was probably even bigger in music so she's just doing the story that hasn't been
told yet which i respect her for it i think the only reason why
people are trying to pay like giving her some smoke right now is because like all right the
three things that you have produced have been targeted at african americans and if you're
talking about that especially with like you know the the conspiracy theorists that are out there
like anytime you're trying to take down a black person of notoriety,
it's always going to be looked at a different lens.
Like, why are you trying to take down some of the few,
you know what I mean?
Some of the few prominent black men that are out there.
Like, you know, there's always people thinking
there's a war against black men
or just masculinity in general
where they're trying to, you know.
It's just tricky, man, because...
It's all tricky.
Sometimes you're doing the right thing and people are man, because sometimes you're doing the right thing
and people are like, yeah, you're doing the right thing,
but why don't you also do the right thing towards white people?
It's like, well, maybe I'll get there.
I'll get there eventually.
If you're a scumbag, you're a scumbag.
I don't know the whole situation with Russ.
I don't know.
He was accused of, I mean.
I know Russ got a lot of questions.
He has a good quote on here.
Scroll down a little bit.
He has a good quote about like exactly whatever.
Because I don't even think it's just about Russ.
I think it's just me doing hip hop.
I have been, I think about, scroll back down.
I'm off on my phone.
Today I received a call from an old girlfriend from my early 1980s,
which means that they're using my words, evidence against me,
and their commitment.
All the claims are 25 to 50 years old.
Possible proof.
He says something along the lines, I'm guilty of using.
Boom.
I'm guilty of exploiting, supporting, and making the soundtrack
for a grossly unequal society, but I have never been violent
or forced myself on anyone.
Still, I am here to help support a necessary shift in power
and consciousness.
Let us get to work on uplifting humanity and put this moment and old narrative behind us. or force myself on anyone. Still, I am here to help support a necessary shift in power and consciousness.
Let us get to work on uplifting humanity and put this moment and old narrative behind us.
Damn, wifey show.
Oh, I hear that.
Stick by your man.
Shout out to that.
Shout out to Kimora Lee, bro.
Even, even, whew.
That's telling.
That's telling, man.
She was the first Asian I thought that was attractive.
Really?
Yeah.
Bro, Kimora Lee definitely put me on the Blasians.
Yeah, yeah.
She was the first joint.
She was the first.
She's still fire.
All these days, still fire.
Yeah.
But, yeah, you know, I don't know.
I mean, I hate even talking about these type of things because they're always messy and,
you know, you never want to dismiss anybody's fucking, you know, you don't want to dismiss
anybody's trauma or plight or whatever because there are definitely people who have been,
And you don't want to dismiss anybody's trauma or plight or whatever because there are definitely people who have been grossly fucking affected by these things.
At the same time, if we're going to look at one thing with a certain lens, you should look at the other as well.
As far as Nick and Eminem goes, I think Eminem is going to be on Wild Out.
Eminem?
I think Eminem is going to be on Wild Out.
Why?
I think that's what it is. I just don't understand why you reheated that decade-old beef.
For what?
You know what I'm saying?
I feel like that's the only play.
That is the ultimate mashup collaboration of battle rap comedy.
That's what I thought it was.
I thought it was just PR, dude.
I'm like, y'all really still beefing over Mariah?
You can put Eminem on his bio on Instagram.
The imitation.
I honestly feel Nick and Eminem had a conversation.
It's like, hey, this is how we play it.
Bro, I'm telling you.
I think it goes that far back.
So Eminem puts this.
Because it's like, to take shots at nick and mariah this many years removed
from the situation it's like come on but then i'm hearing that nick was doing some interview where
he brought him up and i think it even started back then he's like yo i'm gonna say something
about you in this interview you send a diss track we have this rap beat and then we settle in on
wilding out it works for both parties it works for both parties. It works for both parties.
My motherfucking pro wrestling mind doesn't believe shit anymore.
I think Eminem is kind of dry right now.
Yeah, he is.
He's not even kind of.
He is.
He is absolutely dry right now.
And if I'm Eminem, I go on Wild N' Out.
I go to his show.
I'm like, bro, there's no amount of money you could pay him.
Even if you really don't like the nigga but what's this but what's this like new uh
thing that that um nick is running with like he's all of a sudden like super woke super pro black and everything is racist and this is brand new with nick You never saw any of this with Nick before?
No, I kind of, well, I think when he started his podcast,
he started talking about stuff.
So that's new?
His podcast is a year old.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
He never really had a platform where he could speak as much. He does the Morning Show on Power 106 too, right?
Now he does the Morning Show, yeah.
But even this, like, since Massa incapacitated,
what is it, he says at 50 Cent,
Nick Cannon is going to 50 Cent, which is brave.
Since Massa is incapacitated, we cordially invite you to come to the show.
Massa meaning Eminem.
So he's bringing up slave antics with Eminem and 50 Cent.
Now, 50 Cent became a multimillionaire because of Eminem's cosign.
I don't think that that's akin to slavery
100%
if you don't think
that Eminem put 50 on bro
Eminem put him the fuck on
I'll guarantee that
come on bro
but like
that's not saying that he wouldn't
have maybe had success
but it's not like we didn't know
who 50 was
like we knew how to rob
we had that song
he wasn't popping
50 was the hottest free agent
in music at one point
like he would've
he would've popped off anywhere.
And on top of that, since then, he's blown up on shit that had nothing to do with music.
And Fittie always has M's back.
So it's just interesting that you go with the slave narrative.
Anytime you support a white guy, it's like he's got to be a master.
It's just kind of...
One, it's disrespectful to slavery.
Because you really think in that.
How detached are you from slavery that you're going to compare one multi-millionaire empowering another multi-millionaire
and go yeah that's just like slavery it's like if somebody made you tens of millions of dollars
wouldn't you have their fucking back too you idiot yeah andrews hasn't made me 10 millions
of dollars but i'm very supportive of this but once i do got his back on everything. But once you do, motherfucker, I'll be the first one to jump on Instagram.
I totally agree with what you're saying.
And it's almost like when every politician compares shit to the Holocaust or whatever.
It's like, come on, B. It ain't the Holocaust.
Everybody's a Nazi, yo.
You know what it is?
It's not about who they're saying it to.
It's about convincing the masses.
It's the easy thing to get people to flip on.
But that's what I'm saying. He's playing off convincing the masses it's the easy thing it's the easy thing to do flip on it's like oh but that's what i'm saying he's playing he's playing off of the insecurity
that people have right it's like it's kind of disgusting when i see people do this yeah it's
kind of disgusting bro it's like you playing off the insecurity that people have and you're playing
off the the real fears that black people have and paranoia like do people always prey on black
paranoia man like look at all these pictures
you're playing off of you acting woke you're wearing that stupid shit on your head and you're
acting like you really care but you're just preying off the insecurity of people it's like
you found a new hustle like you found a new shit to pimp oh i could pimp them like this okay boom
i'm gonna get their money i'm gonna get their support if i get behind this narrative and place
this bad guy as a person that's also been holding him down.
This shit is, man, it's corny.
When I see this, it's like, how do people not?
And quiet is kept.
I think he's just trying to get his guys on.
Like, he's got, like, if you look at the wild out.
Yo, real talk, you want to talk about.
Like, Charlie Clips.
You want to talk about people not getting paid enough?
Ask them wilding out guys how much they get paid, Nick.
You really want to talk about the plantation?
Ask them guys how much they get paid, Nick.
You really want to talk about the plantation.
Ask them while and out, guys, how much they get paid on your show, Nick.
God damn.
Because not a single one of them very happy with that paycheck.
Ask them when they tried to go on tour and you shut down their tour.
What, 85 South?
Oh, I'm not going to put all the business out there, you couldn't go on tour you couldn't go on tour
unless it was with Nick Cannon
because they all went on tour
everybody who was on the MTV Wild N' Out shit went on tour
and you couldn't call
the show the Wild N' Out show
or whatever it was unless Nick Cannon did
and then Nick Cannon bodied the live show
and now you had to do it under him
and then you make way less under him. Now granted
he created the platform don't get me wrong
but at the same time let comedians eat
bro like there's a certain point in time where it's just
like yo let them hit the road do their thing. Now
they just do it under the 85 South
Show live of course but there was a
time where it was like oh you're not going to let them tour
like now
what? Granted they did
their thing but you really want to bring out
that slavery shit
no shit
you really want to do that
and act like you don't want
to empower your people
so why are you squashing your people
every time they're trying to make money
why are you trying to take a little
out of their pocket
every single time
when it comes to that
you're probably more experienced
than I am
because I don't know
the end of working for that shit
but like
to play devil's advocate
a lot of these motherfuckers
I wouldn't hear of
if it wasn't for Wild Out
a lot of them son it was an amazing't hear of if it wasn't for Wild Out. A lot of them.
Son, it was an amazing platform.
Amazing platform.
Yeah, so maybe he was trying to just protect the brand.
It was like, he doesn't want, if he's not as connected to it, he doesn't want people using the name to try to get tickets.
I'm not even against it.
I'm with it.
And I understand as a businessman, it's a shrewd thing to do.
It's a shrewd thing to do.
That being said, if you're going to be shrewd and potentially cheap with your people, you can't exactly call another dude a slave master and another guy a slave who he made millions of dollars from. Yeah, yeah.
It's just like, we know what Eminem did for 50.
We know what you did with the guys under your show.
It's like, eh.
That's why I feel like this whole shit is just complete bullshit.
That's why he's using these as jokes.
Eminem's going to be on Wild N' Out.
I think Eminem's going to be on Wild N' Out.
No, I think he's trying to get Eminem on Wild N' Out.
They're going to have a live fucking show.
If I'm Eminem, I want to do Wild N' Out.
Oh, my God.
Because you don't want to do Wild N' Out.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
If I'm Eminem, I'm like, yo, you know what?
Invite me to the fucking show.
I'll come do your fucking show.
I'll slap the shit out of you lyrically, verbally, whatever.
And whatever the fuck you may think about Nick, this will be your business.
I'll watch.
Yeah, we all go to it.
It's wrestling, baby.
You're going to watch.
It's all pro wrestling.
It's all pro wrestling.
You see Eminem doing it.
He's going to do live battle raps on MTV.
What?
Eminem kind of needs that too, man.
Yo, Eminem needs that because Eminem is cold right now.
He's cold as fucking.
Cold as ice.
Ever since he went serious.
Once we lost like playful Eminem.
There's the drugs.
I hate Trump.
There's the drugs.
Once he got clean, it was a wrap.
Son, get back on drugs.
Just be goofy.
Be silly.
Like when he got all political.
Get back on drugs. Just be goofy. Be silly. When he got all political, get back on drugs.
Come on, bro.
I think he did the BET freestyle when he was talking about Trump.
It's too much.
You could tell he was tight that Trump didn't react.
Oh, he was super tight.
He was tight that Trump didn't react because that was his go-to all the time.
Oh, yeah.
Pop stars, politicians, and whatever, whack rappers or whatever.
You get that interaction. You get that beef. That was his shit. But Trump's too smart for that. And you know what Trump rappers or whatever yeah you get that that interaction you get that
beef that was his shit but trump's too smart for that and you know what trump would have reacted to
what happened no because i was telling him to get back on drugs and then like
rappers had recently passed away right now so don't don't actually do that just be funny again
you know it's you know you know it's going to be interesting though because all these rappers out
here saying we don't do drugs no more we. You know what's going to be interesting, though? Because all these rappers out here are saying, we don't do drugs no more.
We just smoke weed.
That's going to be like when you change your Facebook profile picture
to the person who just died, right?
Or you're like, shout out to Sudan.
Or shout out to Paris or whatever it is.
We're with you.
I think Trippie Ross said that before.
Real talk, what's going to happen is you're going to see exactly how long
it takes them to flip back to doing drugs.
Just like when they removed that Facebook profile picture. Because there's no way these rappers ain't going to happen is you're going to see exactly how long it takes them to flip back to doing drugs. Just like when they removed that Facebook profile picture.
Because there's no way these rappers ain't going to do drugs.
My thing is like, how serious are you really?
Are you going to stop doing drugs?
Are you going to stop performing songs that we talk about glorifying, taking pills and drinking lean?
No, you're not.
All sort of shit?
No.
Are you going to...
Come on, son.
Come on, son.
And the Juice WRLD shit is fucking frustrating too because it wasn't like he was some junkie.
He was literally trying to swallow pills because FBI was about to search his brain.
My buddy got an interesting argument that he goes, and I won't say his name just because I don't know if he wants this argument out there.
But he's not white.
He's not black.
So he's a neutral party in this.
Okay.
But he goes, but he says,
not all, he goes, not all hip-hop,
but you see a lot of these people in hip-hop
that we look up to,
and they're the greatest marketers of white supremacy.
I go, what are you talking about?
He goes, like, the people that talk about
the things that destroy your community. It's like like what do white supremacists want to destroy
your community right so if you want to talk about drugs and guns and all this other shit and all the
fucked up thing you can do and you're going to promote that as much as you possibly can with
your community it's like you're doing their job for them yeah no that's our biggest i mean i'm
as a black person i can say that's definitely our biggest achilles heel like we are our worst
our own worst enemy all the fucking time,
all the fucking time.
We're,
we're,
we're very hypocritical when it comes to,
you know,
we want like,
here was the one,
here was the one thing we heard all,
all last year.
I remember when like it was a bunch of female rappers out there that like strippers and shit,
whatever.
Yeah.
Everybody was like,
Oh my God,
why don't people listen to Rhapsody?
Rhapsody talks about positivity and Rhaps da, da, da, da, da.
Rhapsody drops an album,
nobody fucking bought it.
Nobody fucking bought that shit.
We wanted to hear that.
Like we want,
everything we,
a lot of things we do,
I'm not gonna say everything.
A lot of things we do as a community
sound good in theory
but we never really practice it.
Yeah, but you know what's ironic
about what you said, Andrew,
is that hip hop is so big now,
like even I think more white people consume it than black people.
Way more white people consume it.
Way more.
And I think that's part of the reason why there's a huge opioid epidemic right now.
Right.
Because they promote that shit.
The opioid epidemic can't happen in the hood.
No, no.
The opioid epidemic is definitely happening In white people
And they promote
That shit on HIPAA
Sure, sure
And maybe that's a part of it
But I also think
There is something
I'd be curious to see
If in the opioid epidemic
If you saw like
Country musicians
Or like
Hard rock musicians
Singing songs like
I sling my opioids
To all my poor whites
You know what I mean
Because that's how I get bread.
Like, I wonder if white people would be like.
That's not as catchy.
Yo, no, but like, I sincerely wonder if like these like white New England people would
be like, are y'all really listening to that?
This is terrible.
Like, what the fuck are y'all doing?
Like, people are dying over this shit.
What are you bopping your head to?
Oh, gosh.
I'm curious.
I'm just curious.
I don't know.
And I think the the elder the elder men
in hip-hop have couldn't like went against it i think they see it i think they understand it
it's hard to convince kids it's the kids because kids are going to be drawn to childish shit
regardless right and and every group has had their things don't get me wrong like the psychedelic
groups are there like the hip what is? Crack in the 80s.
No, no.
I meant like
those like hippie rock bands
who like mushrooms
and these types of things.
And then when the rock and roll bands
came out
and they were all about drinking
and fucking singing about heroin
and that kind of shit
and then motherfuckers
would die in heroin.
Yeah.
It was a real thing
where,
and then what you did
is as they got older
you saw a lot of these groups
and the ones that are still around
they sobered up. Like they'll be like all right before we're gonna do this
everybody has to be sober you know so maybe that is the transition that happens in any
in any music but i always thought i think it'll happen eventually um i don't think it's i mean
it's the out of start guys like trippy red like saying like hey we're not doing anything you can't
say oh we're just doing weed like just, just like, don't do anything.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, even if you're going to smoke a little weed,
like, just put the message
out there.
Just like, hey,
we're almost sober now.
Like, we're not doing this shit.
Like, you lost Juice WRLD.
You lost fucking Mac Miller.
You lost,
what was the other guy
that passed away?
Overdose.
He had yams.
He had yams.
Little Zan or something.
Shit, you almost lost
We
Wayne
Almost lost Wayne and Rick Ross

Off of lean seizures
That's the other thing
Is like once you get
In these pharmaceuticals bro
It's like everybody thinks
It's safer
Because it comes in
That little bottle

That's why I don't
Trust government weed
It's the same fuck shit

At all that's why
Nah I fuck with
Government weed bro
