Yeah, but you're too big for most things.

But you have to.
I can't.
You don't know how much fun I missed out on as a kid

Get down from there.
You're too big for that.
Really? Yeah. Like what? Like there. You too big for that. Really?
Yeah.
Like what?
Like anything.
Like remember like when you were young,
you play on the jungle gym,
but you get like, you know, the jungle gym,
people building their backyard.
And you walk up the slide
and that shit wiggle a little bit.
I'm so old that you didn't have a,
there was no kid ever
that had a jungle gym in his backyard. Oh
When I was a kid you had the park. Oh, no, you had everybody had the park the park
Mm-hmm was where the shit was. Oh, you had a backyard
You might have had a above ground pool. Mm-hmm if you were one of those but that was rich
Yeah, didn't know any below ground pools. Yeah, but no there was no there was a maybe a slip and slide. Maybe one of those things you hooked up to
the home and spun around and killed it slapped everybody in
the head. Yeah. sprinklers were big.
Sprinklers fire holes. Did y'all is Boston a fire holes? No,
that was against the law. We don't do that. Y'all do a lot of
shit in Boston. That's against the law. Yeah, to make money.
We're not going to break. We're gonna, we're gonna fuck with the
fire department. Half a man not gonna fuck with the fire department.
Half a man, my brothers were on the fire department.
We don't do that shit.
That's a New York thing.
I'm not from New York, that's just a poor thing.
It's a hood thing.
It's a hood thing, good way of saying that.
Yeah, it's a hood thing.
Pop that thing off and put a cup on it, right?
Or put a can or some shit?
Nah, you can get a can.
Some people get like these little, what is that?
The joint that you drain the spaghetti with?
Like you take one of those.
Collander.
Collander, yeah, you can get that.
No, no, no, it's a, what is it called?
I think it is a collander.
No, it's a collander, but it's a strainer.
I'm straining, that's what I'm called.
I'm a strainer.
It's a strainer.
Yeah. But you gotta find that's what I'm called. A strainer. It's a strainer. Yeah.
But you gotta find the black captain with the key.
And most people aren't black captains,
they just know where to get those big ass keys from.
What the fuck is a black captain?
Come on now, you didn't grow up with black captains?
No, cause I didn't grow up with black people.
I don't think it's a black thing.
It's 100% cultural.
So when,
You listen to me, there was no,
we didn't have block caps in Boston.
What the fuck?
What is that?
What do you mean?
All right, so.
Was that one person who had the fire?
Yeah.
It's usually an old man or old lady.
And they're the ones that put together the black parties
and all that stuff.
You looking at it?
In Boston?
In Philly.
Not, that's a Philly thing.
And in Boston, there's no,
Boston doesn't do block captains.
You can't trust some Irish Italian kid with a key.
His fucking father will sell it.
I used to live with a block captain.
He was annoying.
That sounds like you molested.
I used to live with a block captain.
That sounds like some,
something a young gay guy would say to an older gay guy.
He's like, I'm your block captain.
Yo, he's my block captain.
He turned my hose on.
Mr. Murphy's my block captain.
He has the key.
He has the key.
Yeah, that's weird, a block captain.
So you had to find that person?
You had to find that person, but usually you know who they were because they were the
ones passing out the free lunch in the summertime. What yeah
What are you talking about?
Man, so why would we get free lunches because school's not open anymore?
Yeah, and it's called your house. No, but a lot of people can't afford food like a lot of people
Yeah, man, this is a cultural thing. This is you lives in a poor neighborhood. Yeah I'm poor shit. I'm gonna tell you this I
lived in like white slums like mine nobody had money. Yeah we didn't we you
know we didn't have money but we didn't we didn't have any block captain or
sandwiches. Yo and that's why y'all so mad because nobody was feeding y'all. That's it. Bosses, people.
We got juices, we got sandwiches,
and then on a good, like you may get like a PB and J,
little turkey sandwich.
Wait a minute, you got drinks too?
You got apple juice, orange juice, milk.
Milk is the worst in the summertime.
You can't drink milk out of a milk carton.
Yeah, they give you milk, they give you chocolate milk
in the summertime.
Chocolate milk is good, but, yeah, we got a hose. No,
you drink out the hose too. But we drink out the hose. We didn't get any dude. I don't
remember any of that shit. We didn't get anything like that. Never. Wow. So listen, you grew
up, you grew up in Philly, Philly. Yeah. And poor neighborhood, poor neighborhoods because
I grew up in foster care. So you're just bouncing around.
Can I ask you about that?
Because you're in foster care.
I think we've thought about it one time.
No, we thought about a lot of things.
We thought about me wearing my merch.
But the foster care we connected on.
No, but didn't we?
No, we thought about a foster care thing.
Because I said something to you like, that's not true.
What are you talking about?
No, cause you went through it too.
Then you weren't you like group homes and all that?
Yeah, no, that's why I want to talk to you about it.
We, like I was a foster, I was a foster homes
because you couldn't go directly home from Juvie jail.
So you got arrested, you went to court,
you went to intake, you went to a place
and then they found whatever jail jail you're gonna court, you went to intake, you went to a place, and then
they found whatever jail jail you're gonna go to for three to six months, then you'd
go there.
Hopefully there'd be a bed crunch, and you get released early.
With a bed crunch, like no place to stay.
They need the bed.
Okay.
And this kid's crime was worse than your crime, so the least crime is gonna get let out.
Okay.
Or who's been there, who has maybe a month left, right?
Okay, and then you but you'd go to foster home. Mm-hmm. You know a lot of times you go to a foster home and the foster home then from there
They'd transition you back to my my home. Yeah, my mom. Mm-hmm, but you
Didn't have a mom. No, so I had a mom my mom's still alive me and my mom a cool
My mom didn't raise me my My mom had a drug problem.
My dad was in and out of jail.
And my grandmother, I have a young grandma.
My grandma was like still active and stuff.
Like, you know?
So my grandmother thought it was a good idea to be like,
well until my daughter gets her life together,
I'm gonna just put the kids in foster care.
And we went in at like six, seven,
and I didn't get out until like 21
Why didn't your grandmother just take care of you cuz she young don't got time for that shit. I
Mean that's that's her talking or you that's me talking
But I think based on the little bits and pieces that I put together from her always yelling and shit when I would like
Go visit. I think it was that.
I think it was just, she thought it would be
a short amount of time and that my mom would
get her life together or we would get
placed in a better home and that never happened.
Did that kill you?
What you mean?
I'm saying did that fuck you up?
Like did that hurt?
I'm sure I fucked up from it.
No, back then did it make you go,
what the fuck, my, my grandmother doesn't want me?
Nah, too young to even cope with it.
So here's the, here's the thing.
My, when I, I think I went into foster care at like six,
seven.
Yeah.
But my mom didn't have like a stable place to live.
She was on the run from my dad
cause he was abusive and stuff like that.
So we would be, we would like sleep over over random friends houses and stuff like that thing.
She was like, oh, this is your cousin. And then we like sleeping in the bed with them
like head to foot or sleeping in the floor and stuff. So I was used to that constant
moving. I was used to getting up, going to school, coming home and then going to somebody
else because I was sleeping.
You were used to not having a home. Yeah.
So when I got in the foster care, it was just like business
as usual.
But I just wasn't around my mom.
But have you ever, like you say, yeah.
Yeah.
You say it like that.
Yeah.
But that breaks my heart when I hear that.
But it doesn't mean.
I mean, look, at a time it broke my heart.
But now I'm grown one way then
Yeah, I think I think 16 was like the last time where I was like oh this isn't gonna
I'm the the happy ending of foster care because that's what's supposed to happen like when I hit 16 at good behavior
My mom she I got her life together a little bit. She had got remarried and she got a house
and my two sisters went to live with her
and then I was the last one to make their decision.
Right?
Are they younger than you?
Yeah, they're younger than me.
Okay, so were you guys separated?
We never lived together until...
So even your sisters, they took your siblings away.
So you were alone.
Now that house they put you in,
were you there one place for the whole time?
No, I bounced around a lot.
I was in like, all together,
I think I was in like 14 places
and that's including group homes,
foster homes and kinship care,
which is just foster care, but with a family member.
Is that like a block bouncer?
What's his name?
What do you mean?
What's that this?
Like, what's the last thing again?
What was he last thing again?
It's kinship care.
Kinship care?
Kinship, because you know, if somebody's related to you,
they're akin to you.
So they call it kinship care.
Was it somebody you related to?
Yeah, and they're the worst,
because when they know you got money,
so when you're in foster care,
they get a stipend for the government,
from the government to cover the costs of you,
like buying your food and your clothes.
But a lot of people don't use that money
to buy the clothes and shit like that.
They use it for themselves and then go,
I'm gonna use my government assistance or whatever
and I'm gonna try to stretch what I already have
and then keep this money for myself.
And I feel like family was the worst when it came to that. to stretch what I already have and keep this money for myself.
And I feel like family was the worst when it came to that.
Because that's all they wanted.
They would be like, ooh, you get to stay with me.
And then when they found out the money ain't money in the way they wanted, they were like,
you got to go.
I had to drop me off.
She told me I was going to come home for the summer and she would pick me back up
because she wanted me to spend time
with my Philly folk and shit.
And then she dropped me off for the summer
and never picked me back up.
And then I went back into the false-secure system.
Did that crush you?
Nah, cause I hated him.
But that didn't hurt your feelings.
Everything hurt your feelings, but you gotta be tough.
You gotta get over it, you know what I mean?
You don't have to be tough right now.
You're not gonna, what are you trying to make me cry?
Trying to get some black tears for February?
You don't even know.
Do you know how much those will work?
Black tears on February, that's a lot.
That's a lot.
Yo, we can go viral if I cry.
Dude, if you cry right now?
Yo, let's go.
Alright.
Yo, man, did that hurt?
Listen, did that hurt your feelings?
Yeah, you know, because it's just a feeling of not being one
at Nile.
You're not going to get me to cry.
But yeah, it should hurt your feelings.
But when you're in foster care and you're
surrounded by other kids that are going through the same thing,
you kind of just learn to be like, all right,
this is just how some people live.
And I was with, like even in foster care, I would be with people who had their biological
kids, but even their biological kids came from like a broken home, like their dad isn't
around, the mom has to do all the work and all that shit.
So to me, it just felt like the norm.
It was like, oh, everybody got problems.
Yeah, I mean, I remember being in it,
I remember the money was a factor.
The food they gave you was very, you know,
generic and cheap as shit they could give you, you know?
And you didn't get much of it.
I remember that.
I remember there was no seconds. It dependsended on what group home I was in.
Some group homes, they let you go in.
No, I foster home.
It was over.
And they had their kids, there was a couple
that had their kids and their kids could do no wrong.
Yeah.
And I was, you know.
And then there was one where there was another foster kid
but he was kind of a dick.
Yeah.
And I remember he had Playboy Channel?
We were in bunk beds.
How'd he get the Playboy Channel?
Paid for it.
This little, when I showed up, this guy was like a regular, like he was like a regular
white kid.
Yeah.
Like, he seemed like a rich white kid.
Okay.
And, um, I don't know why he was there.
I don't know what the hell he did.
I was there because of crime, and I was transitioning out why he was there. I don't know what the hell he did. I was there because of crime and I was transitioning out of jails.
So I had to go here for long term
because I couldn't go back to my mom's house.
And I remember it was in this little tiny house.
It was a little blue house behind houses.
They go, so you go into the driveway
and then there was another little tiny house in the back.
And I remember going there and it was this big redheaded,
fucking strong Boston guy and this chubby little,
fucking angry short-haired Boston woman.
And they had this little daughter and this kid.
But he was like, he seemed like a snobby rich kid.
He played hockey and he was like there for a while
and he got his, he was like one of the best foster kids, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
And I remember he had- he worked and he got Playboy.
Channel. How old was he?
He had his own cable and he got Playboy.
He was my age.
How old were you?
Maybe a little- maybe a year older than me or something.
15?
Oh wow.
Something like that, 14, 15?
He's smart though.
Huh?
He's smart.
He was 14.
I was 14. Yeah, he was smart though. Huh? He's smart.
I was 14.
Yeah, he was smart, but he was kind of a twat.
You know what I mean?
Like, you know, Lenny Marcus being your foster roommate.
It's my cable.
Don't touch my lights, you know what I mean?
I love many, but I want to live in a bunk bed
with that asshole.
And I remember he caught me watching a stupid thing.
What was he watching? Playboy, I don don't know some stupid lady chatter Lee shit cuz playboys never that you think it's not that
It's not it's not like I should and I was trying to jerk off to it and he's like were you using my fucking?
But I remember I remember not none of this shit hit me dude until recently
Yeah, none of this stuff. You know when it hit me when I had a kid. Yeah, is when I was like I
couldn't
imagine my son
Being in a foster home. Yeah, I couldn't imagine
Dropping him off and walking away. I couldn't imagine my kid my my son
Going to bed at night, hungry, and not knowing where he was going to be the next day at that age and having to just deal with
it. And I couldn't imagine it. You know, that's when it hit me that I went through traumatic
shit. It's like I went through war. That's war hit me that I went through traumatic shit.
It's like I went through war.
That's war, dude.
You went through war.
I went through war and I made at 16, I don't know what it was.
I was just like, I'm not going to be a victim of the system or my situation.
I'm going to be a product of it.
Because I was around people who already did, was just complaining about like how fucked up
their life was and all that stuff.
And they just kept getting in trouble and stuff like that.
And I see myself going down that route,
but something in me was just like,
nah dog, like you can't do that.
You have a kid, right?
I don't have no kid.
I just got a wife and-
You got a wife.
But we're trying to have a kid.
We should have a kid, right? I don't have no kid. I just got a wife and- You got a wife. We're trying to have a kid. We should have a kid by like 2024,
in the end of 2024 or 2025 or some shit.
When you have that kid, man,
she gonna fucking, it's gonna fuck you up.
But even when I had my niece, I said my niece,
but even when, so my sister lives with me
when I got my own place,
and when my niece was born, they lived with me,
and that's when I was like,
damn, you know, like nobody in my family could have did this for us.
Nobody, you know.
Wait till you have your kid and you're bringing your kid to school and you're going to his
thing, his little thing and then you're going to his baseball or basketball and then when
he comes home and he runs up and he's like dad and he's showing you his little test and blah blah
Dude, it's gonna fuck you up. I know it's all gonna tumble back bro. Does it make you stronger at least it makes me stronger
but
It's like
You know like I look at these comics
You know
Like I feel like I have two lives that I'm living.
I'm living a life trying to become successful,
trying to stay relevant in the business.
You know what I mean?
We always gotta keep trying,
grabbing that next rung and not look around you.
And then I have this other life that I'm living
where I'm trying to repair all the bullshit that happened to me.
Yeah.
Because I have...
You know, I snap.
Yeah.
Because it's a, you know, as soon as somebody's fucking not respecting me, as soon as something's happening,
I'm like, fucking...
I turn into that...
They're red.
I turn into that dude, you ain't fucking, you ain't getting me, bitch.
Yeah.
You ain't getting me.
You know, because that's back in the day... You ain't fucking, you ain't getting me, bitch. You ain't getting me.
You know, because that's back in the day
at a young age,
people were getting us. People were fucking with us.
And I cut that empathy off.
I cut that human existence.
When I got the kid and attached that shit back into me
and it's like, oh God.
You're like, shit, I don't want this piece back.
Dude, my kid's 10.
I was in-
And you got a nice kid, I'm not your kid.
Yeah, he's a great kid.
And I look at that and I'm like,
dude, when I was his age, I started drinking.
I was smoking.
You was drinking and smoking at 10?
Yeah.
Damn.
You know?
No, I wasn't.
But yeah, do you drink at all?
Because you seem like a...
I'm not straight edge, but I definitely...
I don't like drinking.
I rather smoke.
I've drank before, but I drink more so of like...
If my wife is having drinks and usually she'll do this thing where she'll be like,
I don't want it no more and then I'll just down it because I don't like wasting.
Yeah.
But I don't like drinking because it should just make you sweat and fucking... You just down it, because I don't like wasting. Yeah. But I don't like drinking, because it should just make you sweat,
and fucking, you just feel gross.
And you married a white girl from LA, that's weird.
I didn't marry a white girl from LA,
I'm like, your wife is Colombian from Queens.
I'm kidding.
You really, you took a fix to that.
Oh yeah.
You got angry, you're like, well, I am married.
Fuck you.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
You married Giselda.
Giselda, what's her name?
Giselda Blanco.
Did she know about her?
No.
Oh, she does?
She don't want to watch the show
cause a lot of people in our neighborhood and stuff,
like they went through that shit.
You know what I mean?
Like a lot of them fled Columbia and came to America because of that stuff.
So for her, she's not like one of those people just like, yo, I'm gonna watch it because
I like watching all this like drug lord shit.
She's like, no, I'm not gonna watch it because I know people who were affected by these things.
Because we're watching all the stuff that's happening now with the Mexicans and the immigrants
and coming in. Dude, we went through this all the time.
We go through this all the time.
And don't worry, I feel like saying,
hey, don't worry about it.
In 25 years, someone's gonna make a documentary
on whatever Netflix is then.
It was like, I remember those days in New York,
you know what I mean?
And that person's, whatever a murderer right now
is gonna have a book in 1520 years
Who's gonna be the big murderer though? What do you mean?
York cuz there's been a lot of murder there's been a lot of weird shit happening in New York
You remember the dude they got his head cut off boss assistant in like uh, I think it was like where
What we're gas digital studio is there's like a couple years ago a guy he had an assistant and
He had like one of those apartments where the elevator comes straight to your crib and his
assistant came in, cut his head off.
Yeah, but that's a crazy person. That's not a...
I mean, New York is full of crazy people.
Well, New York right now, they caught that kid who shot somebody, there was a couple
of kids kicking, beating up cops.
I can't watch that shit.
You can't, you can't, look at me, we need the cops.
We do, I was planning on making money,
so I need somebody to call.
You can't call the Black Panthers,
the fucking nation of Islam.
Yeah, you can't call, what was that?
Other one, the white one with the satin jackets?
The angel.
The guardian angels.
The guardian angels, they're gone.
They're not gone.
They were here for a while. They're not gone. They were here for a while.
They're not gone, just kung fu doesn't work anymore.
Yeah.
They were like, hey, hey, hey.
They used to be in the park.
Whoop, with their satin jackets and their berets and people's sk-
That's back when a beret scared people?
No.
Or just being black was scary enough.
Oh, black was scary back then.
Yeah.
Back in the day.
There they are. They're still around.
They're just old as shit. There's some young ones, but here's the problem with the garden
ain't no one's ever in shape. Yeah. None of them look cool. Now, you if you look like
if you look at like, like the black Panthers, they were shredded. Yeah, they look like goddamn Barbershop Quartet and fucking Chuba.
I mean, look, I love, but could you imagine them
and the Warriors, they get the shit kicked out of them
right at first, the first fight.
And their jackets aren't even sat in no more.
Not anymore, cause it's expensive and silly.
They're like, yo, dawg, we gotta cut back.
We gonna start using.
Yeah, that's what Roller Skating was in when sat in jail.
Look at the Black Panther, he's badass.
I mean, dude, come on, son.
Dude.
They had three-quarter leather jackets.
In any weather.
Any weather.
Any weather.
And they wore a beret.
Yeah, because they were in LA too.
In LA, you don't really need a jacket.
They don't need a sweater.
They didn't give a shit.
They were hot.
What a great logo, too.
And imagine just picking out your afro
before you go protestin' shit. Because imagine just picking out your afro before you go protesting shit.
That's a perfectly picked afro.
Cause if I pick my hair out and that lean back,
that shit is just like this.
So you gotta be like, I'll be there for the revolution.
Hang on.
Hang on.
It's New York is crazy right now, man.
Philly's nuts too, man. Philly's nuts too, man.
Philly's.
Nah, I'm not going back.
You ain't going back?
Yeah.
Well, you live, is that more dangerous now?
Yeah, I drove, I made my lady drive through it,
cause she was that way over here from,
and so I drove around 30 second to Norris,
and I was like, this is where I grew up,
and she was like, it's just a bunch of condemned houses.
I was like, yeah. Wow. Yeah up. And she was like, it's just a bunch of condemned houses. I was like, yeah.
Wow.
Near Fountmont Park, you know what I'm saying?
Where you used to come to get?
Do you know Philly?
I know, not really.
I know the places that are fun.
Fishtown, of course.
Well, the water, I know where all the touristy shit is,
the market.
So if you go to the zoo
You know where Philadelphia zoo is no, I didn't know I had a zoo
Yeah, you think we like we mean, you know, every city has a zoo. I didn't know that I
Don't think Alabama has a zoo
I don't think so you think Montana doesn't have a zoo
Google this I mean they probably do but it's not a good zoo.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But you think of San Diego Zoo.
Yeah, what do you think they zoo guys?
Their zoo's the best.
Is it?
What makes a zoo the best zoo?
Polar bears, elephants, tigers.
Everybody got those.
Every zoo got those.
If you don't have those, you're not considered.
Rhinoceros.
What's the best zoo?
Birmingham Zoo?
Where's that?
Birmingham Zoo.
Alabama Zoo.

Yeah, they're doing weddings there.
That shit sucks. They got flamingos. Fuck you to flamingo. Type in the top zoos. I
think it's San Diego. The Bronx Zoo. The Bronx Zoo is going to be
one number one or two. Bronx is no joke. The Bronx is a zoo.
The Bronx. I can't say that. Why not? Because it's white people
living in the Bronx. They're part of the problem. That was the
joke. Oh, by not laughing, you made it racist.
Yes.
When you don't laugh at a racist joke, it's just racist.
You needed Edith to go, oh, chi.
Oh, do you know what I mean?
Yeah. Thanks, buddy.
Yeah. All right.

Bronx Zoo, number four.
Yeah.
Melbourne, Florida.
And they didn't even get off the train.
Bronx Zoo, Brooklyn Field Zoo, Chicago.
Philly ain't even on this. What are you talking about, Philly is 16., Philly ain't even on this.
What are you talking about?
Philly is 16.
Dude, 16 ain't the top 10.
I know, but New York ain't even in the top 10,
and Philly is above New York.
Bronx is four.
Yeah, but Bronx is separate.
You got two-minute zoos.
Nah, dude.
You got the Bronx Zoo, then you got Central Park.
No, stop, stop.
Bronx Zoo is done.
Central Park is just an amusement thing. The Bronx Zoo is the zoo of New York. Is it dude?
It's the Bronx fucking zoo man. They they it's the number one
I never went to the Diego Zoo number one, right? Yeah, yeah, and San Diego zoo is no joke, dude
Okay, so because of the weather, you know the Bronx who you know half this shit gets cold in the winter and they got a fucking tuck it away. Or they put
North Faces on them. The jacket. I got it. You didn't laugh in mine. I was gonna
laugh at yours. Well even now. So we can start fresh. How long you been married man?
I've been married five years. Really? Yeah. How's it going with? It's going good.
But you know that childhood trauma do come up.
It comes up.
Yeah, hell yeah.
And the relationship, right?
Mm-hmm.
Because my wife comes from a completely different background.
She got two parents, they love each other,
and they spent time with her and their kids and stuff like that.
And that's complete opposite of my upbringing.
So even my bad, no homo.
Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. It's complete opposite of my upbringing. Even my bad, no homo.
Like even my mom, my wife sees my family's relationships and she's like, yo, how can a mom talk to their daughter
like that?
So like we grew up in this fucking-
So you have friends with your mom now?
Yeah.
Okay, is she all right?
My mom's cool.
What do you mean, like is she all right?
She's clean, she's got a mom's cool. What do you mean? Like is she all right? She's clean
She got her own apartment. We just don't have that mother-son relationship because it was you never had it Yeah, yeah, and it's weird because I I was a mama's boy, but then looking back
I was like that's dumb
It was dumb for me to mama be a mama's boy because I would only see my mom like
Three days out of a month.
So then the rest of the time I'm just sitting alone.
Yeah.
Because you wanted your mom.
Yeah. That's why you were mama's.
And then at 16, I was like, I'll never have her.
She'll never be my mom in the way that I desire.
And I was just like, yeah.
Yeah.
I said that.
Oh, I've said this a bunch of times.
Me and my mom used to fight all the time
until one day she just whispered in the phone,
she goes, Bobby, when do you realize
I'm never gonna change?
And I was like, oh shit.
I was like, I'm out.
You're right, I gotta go change.
You're right, so we got along ever since.
You know what I mean?
And that's the best, cause then it's like, I don't, you know, for a while I was faking
the funk, I'll get Mother's Day cards and all these celebrations, but I'm like, those
are for you.
That's not really for me, right?
Because if you do something for your mom on Mother's Day, it's to be like, you know,
this is how I express my love, but I was just more so doing it because I'm like, it's Mother's
Day, I don't want you to feel left out or feel bad. So I was doing all these things to kind of make sure she
didn't feel like she was missing out on a mother experience.
Yeah. So you, you're bringing your childhood into this relationship with your wife?
Yeah. Well, no, because, you know, my wife was cool.
So you hit her now. She was okay with that.
You know, elbow dropper and shit.
You can't hit a Colombian chick.
I mean, you can put them in a soup pack.
They'll cut your stinker off.
They'll grab your stinker in the middle of the night and just snip it off.
You'll wake up being on a key chain.
I'm like, man, where my shit?
No, it's funny because, yeah, this, now you're married, so now you see how a relationship should work.
And you realize, oh, I got this stuff.
Money, money was tough for me at the beginning with my wife, because I was like, money was
so, I was so desperate, I never had it.
So when I started to get it and then I had to share it with this, what the fuck? I got crazy. And you know, when we had the kid, I remember
my therapist told me, he was like, you don't get a dad. You are the dad. You don't get
parents, dude. You were fucked up. You were out there. You're the parent. Go be the parent. Go do it.
And that helped me out a lot.
Yeah, because I was always struggling to get the thing I never had.
I was always trying to get that.
And you'll never get it.
You can't. We missed out.
We missed out.
But also, I know it's going to sound corny, but everything you need, you already have.
And it's just more of an acceptance.
You know?
Yep.
Like I didn't have a mom, but I definitely had people
in my life who cared at me at very important times
when I needed it.
That's what I said.
You know what I mean?
And that's, you know?
When you needed it, I had the same thing.
I always tell people I had 10 dads.
I go through all these.
I mean, but if you tell, that kind of sounds weird.
Either your mom's not a loose.
No, yeah, they're just banging my mom and leaving.
I'm sorry, mom. She listens.
No, but I had, you know, there's my my my, you know, biological dad.
I had the fucking evil stepfather piece of shit.
Then I had the really great stepdad that stepped in there.
I had my five uncles. I had my sponsor, Dick Marcott, who was there. I had Ken Lazarus,
my Jewish foster father from 16 to 18, 19, something like that, who stepped in. I had
all these dads that were stepped in at these points
when I needed them.
And then when I had the kid, I had to go be that dad.
So I realized as I'm growing with this kid 10 years now,
I took stuff from all those guys.
My uncle Tommy, who's smart, you know what I mean?
Funny, he was so funny. My uncle David, who's smart, you know what I mean? Funny. He was so funny. My uncle
David, who's tough, you know, could fight and, you know, kind of man up a little bit and,
you know, taught me how to make a bow and arrow. My uncle Jimmy, who taught me how to
show up for work and work hard. My uncle Sean, who told me how to be social and cool and fun.
You know, my uncle Michael was cool with the women and, you know, I took all these little
things from them to add to me.
And then Ken Laz taught me how to be emotional.
And he was the first guy to hug me and tell me he loves me.
And I was like, what are you, gay?
You know that?
He was like, oh, look at all of me.
Dude, emotions for me, man.
I remember when I cut my emotions off, I was 13.
And I got the shit kicked out of me by these guys.
Three, it was like four men beat the shit out of me
and my friend Frankie at like midnight
in the projects and some of them were trying to get weed.
And we bought it from them and then they followed us up there
and they were like, yo, give us some weed.
And we said, no, they kicked the fuck out of us.
I'm like, I just bought it from you.
Yeah.
And I remember when we were walking away
and blood had to toll Frankie's bleeding internally, his bought it from you. Yeah. And I remember when we were walking away, I'm blood-hate to tell Frank, he's bleeding internally,
his kidney or some shit.
Damn.
But I was like, man, I was so happy.
Why?
Because I didn't cry.
Man.
Isn't that fucked up though?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that's like a part of being a man,
like getting hurt and not letting it out,
not letting the world see it.
It's not yeah
it's part of being a man is being able to feel that emotion and let it out see
but I didn't grow up that way cuz I didn't either yeah that's why it was
such a badge of honor to me I remember saying Frankie I didn't cry he's like
what I'm like I didn't cry to the blood head to toe I didn't cry. He's like, what? I'm like, I didn't cry, dude. I'm blood head to toe. I didn't cry. He's a good for you, kid.
Like, he was like proud of me.
Like, yeah, you can take an ass whooping.
I can take an ass whooping.
It was my first ass whooping I took without fucking crying like a baby.
And it was an ass whooping.
And I was so proud of myself.
And it took me, I'm still undoing that.
I'm still undoing that shit.
You know? So, it sucks. I'm still undoing that. I'm still undoing that shit.
So it sucks. That sucks that we chopped that part of us.
Did you ever have that thing
where you killed that in your side yourself?
Yeah, man.
Countless times and the thing is,
like being married, you have to dig that part up again.
Cause I would see that.
I would be like, my wife would do something
or she'd be happy about something.
And then I just be like, all right, cool.
And she'd be like, you're not, you know, like, you know,
you don't seem excited.
And I'm like, I don't get that emotion.
I only got like anger and jokes.
Yeah, I got first gear, what's up?
And then six, I'll murder you fucking you dead.
That's it. Yeah. So I had to learn how to operate that middle gear
But I went through something similar where I got jumped by my two foster dads what they beat that shit out of me
Because they were being assholes
They're being assholes and I always talk back
I didn't care how big you were because I in group homes
You know this in group homes staff are allowed to put their hands on you in certain ways, like they can restrain you and stuff. So when
you when you grow up tussling with adults and like slipping out the chicken wing.
You use the word tussle. Tussle. One of my favorite words. And I haven't used it in nine
years. I haven't I'm so glad you brought Tussle.
Because that's what it was.
I did a lot of Tussle.
I love a nice Tussle.
Yeah, just a lot of fucking just moving.
You're going.
A Tussle's not a fight.
And so you're just moving your bodies around,
and just like two bears just pushing each other.
Yeah.
And I had to do that.
Tussling.
So I wasn't afraid of men.
Yeah.
And at a very young age,
I wasn't afraid of authority,
and I would always talk back and say things like,
man, get the fuck out of here.
Like, you know Mike Recky Owens joke where he talks about,
like, ah, step.
I was that kid once upon a time where I'm talking to grown men.
I'm saying, I'm threatening grown ass men
as if they can't hurt me.
And some people retaliate it.
You two uncles beat the shit out of you.
Wow, how'd that feel?
Yeah, I mean, I didn't cry.
What's up?
That's it, that's it.
They beat my ass, but I did not cry.
God damn it, dude.
Here's a problem with when you, I'm gonna tell you this,
when you open up those floodgates,
which I have, I'm fucked.
Which you mean crying?
I do, I cry at everything.
Man.
Dude, I cry.
I be trying to.
I cry, dude, when you have the kid.
When the kid comes, and my kid don't have emotions,
like he has emotions like his mom.
She don't, you know what I mean?
Like we're at the movies, at this stupid movie, this cartoon, and the mom gets cancer in the front.
And then she goes in the beginning.
I'm like, fucking, I'm like, what is the mom?
And the and my son's like, dad, you got to stop.
And he's literally covering my eyes.
She's like, you can't watch this part. You can't. I'm like,
Max, the mom's gotta go and he I'm like, and he's like, my
eye, dad, relax.
He's he's he's that makes me want a kid that you're the
but yeah, that makes me want a kid. Oh my God, I have
somebody. That's cool. Oh, dude. Yeah, because most people
make being a father seem like it's just like this
Just thing you just you just can't sleep. You're always in this mode of protect and teaching and shit
But you're like, no, it seems fun crying in a movie and your son's like stop
Crying in my amber
He I mean every time there's a now hamming him and my wife every time there's a now him and
him and my wife, every time there's a part of a show or a movie
where it's that thing, they both like, look at me. Yeah, I can
feel him looking at me like, come on, bitch. Come on, bitch.
Come on. Where's those tears coming out? You know you want to
cry. You don't know my childhood. Yeah, I would love to cry.
Dude, you will. I'm telling you.
Can't wait.
You will.
When you have that kid and that kid's...
I feel like this interaction makes me feel like I'm gonna have a kid by next year.
I'm telling you, people think it's the best thing I ever did.
But like I said, I live two lives.
That part of me that was like, I got to make it. I got to be
the next motherfucker. I got to play this and I got to do that.
And I'm going to be, I'm the shit. That's gone. It's gone. It's
different now. What's the difference? The difference now
is, I have to put a lot of time over here into this. Before all
my time was over here on this shit. This stuff right here, I
got to go, I'll be I'll be back, I got to leave, I would leave
for weeks and months. I'll be and my wife was like, okay, I just
went. Now it's like, I want to go home. Yeah, I can't wait to go
home. I'll go home tonight. My kid will probably be in the
bed. I'll jump in. He My kid will probably be in the bed.
I'll jump in. He'll roll over and fucking give me a hug and I'll tell him, how was your night?
And we chat now. We chat like fucking dudes. I wake up in the morning. We watch fucking stupid
YouTube channels together and then he gets up and gets ready. Yeah. I mean, look, it sucks.
That sounds dope. I mean, it don't sound like it sucks. It sounds fun. It don't suck. It's hard.
Yeah. I say that. It's easy to be a parent. It's hard to be a good one. Yeah. Because, that sounds dope. I mean, it don't sound like it sucks. It sounds fun. It don't suck. It's hard.
I'd say that it's easy to be a parent.
It's hard to be a good one.
Because, you know, like today,
like, because I have all my shit.
So when he does something disrespectful,
I'm, you know, that's six,
you don't fucking, who do you,
that comes out.
You do that though?
Or you do a version of that?
I do a version of it.
It ain't like I would do it to you
if I had to fight you just to scare you out of it
because you're a fucking big ass motherfucker. But it's a version of it. It ain't like I would do it to you if I had to fight you just to scare you out of it
because you're a fucking big ass motherfucker.
But it's a version of that.
But he actually told me, he actually said,
hey man, you don't need to yell like that.
And I was like, what?
He's like, dad, I get it.
I screwed up.
I messed up.
I shouldn't have said that,
but you don't need to get crazy.
I'm like, all right, I'm cool with that.
Yo.
So, yeah.
That's a mature kid right there.
It's a mature kid.
Are you ever gonna have another one?
No, no, her badge is done.
Yeah.
I ain't risking that shit.
I love my son.
I ain't risking the brother
that we all have to take care of.
You know what I mean?
Where'd you leave your brother?
I left him up, he's in a, go get him. that we all have to take care of. You know what I mean? Where'd you leave your brother?
I left him, he's in a whip, go get him.
Fuck.
Is this a bit?
No.
You should have.
Yeah, this shit is funny.
I don't want to, yeah, I don't want,
look, God bless that kid,
but I don't want to have to run a marathon every year.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Yeah, and then I'm gone, then nobody pushes him.
You know what I mean?
Write that down and send it to me.
That's funny.
Yeah, well listen, you got some interesting shit going on.
Let's go through it.
Dude, this is nuts to me.
You showed a special in Kenya. Well, yeah, it wasn't supposed to.
So I went to Kenya and then they were like, yo, I went to Kenya to-
Why?
Because, man, I just like doing comedy and doing the road, right?
And my agents always send me- that's the road.
That's not the road.
Yo, it's better than going in some fucking sticks in America that I'm always going to. That's the
motherland. Yo, I loved it. Okay, so tell me, because I've
never been I think of Kenya. I think of coming to America,
like Wakanda. I think of a lot of colorful shit. Maybe a guy
with a tiger on his shoulder and a diamond in its mouth. Yo,
you know, I'm saying so I don't think stand up comedy.
I just, I'm not even.
I felt the same thing.
I was nervous.
So when he asked, so what happened was usually what I do.
You have to fly a plane that way you could see the engine
work things and it was smoking the whole.
Yeah.
What, calm to air?
No, I'm telling you.
It was that it wasn't Emirates. What's the Qatar? Oh really? Yeah, okay? So tell me school me so on
So when you think Africa, I think every when you think Africa we think fucking war turn war torn
Third war everybody's super poor, but there's countries within Africa that are
super poor, but there's countries within Africa that are
flourishing. Right. Kenya is one of those countries because where is it on the map? Bring that is East Africa for my
mistaken. Okay, bring it up. So it's so I can it's the Boston
of Africa.
With less white people. But there's still a lot of white
people over there. Is there white? Oh my god, yo, why do you
say it like you hate because I Because I didn't expect that shit.
Show me on the map, dumb dumb.
It's easy, I believe you.
Don't just bring up the map and bring that up.
I don't have to go through your finding it, please.
Oh, is it left?
It's right here.
All right, bring it up so I can see just it.
Joe, can you help him, please?
I just want to see the map because I can't see it.
I'm old.
Wow, OK, so it's over on the.
So it's kind of middle down.
Yeah, so they get.
So what I was learning is they get a lot of people from like Somalia and stuff
that will migrate over.
Can you get rid of all the shit on the left and just bring up the map of Kenya? Is that possible, Max? I don't think so. I mean it should be
because I've done it. Joe, can you please help this maniac, this guy who's been
doing my show for a year, bring up just the map of Kenya so I don't have to go
through his torturous fucking mouse shit.
He's like, this one, this one, this one.
I mean, Max, he looks like he should,
it looks like he could literally make a woman in his house with a bra and a computer.
Yeah, and then he can't even fucking use Google.
He's sabotaged, he's been trying to sabotage this show.
Yeah, you think he's trying to take it over?

China's going to buy America someday.
They will.
Can I tell you some, we know some fun facts about Kenya.
What's up?
You know, did you go on a safari?
You did.
Hell yeah. I went on a fucking,
we went to my zoo.
My side, it's better than the zoo.
We were scared of shit.
We were sleeping in a, it was like glamping,
like big tents with bathrooms and shit in it.
And it was a big tent, two beds in it,
in a bathroom and they give you hot water.
They go, yo, ring your little bell
and then we'll come bring the hot water
and we'll pour it in your bucket
and then you can take a shower, right?
But at night, you had to lock your tent
cause the monkeys will get in and unzip your shit
and fuck your shit up.
And I thought they was lying until we heard a monkey
but if things start like pulling the lock.
Yeah, they lock you in your tent.
And you have to ring a bell for them to come get you out.
Monkeys are no joke.
Monkeys are no joke.
People think monkeys are cute, but they'll throw shit at you.
They'll take your phone, they'll pull your hair,
they'll steal your kid.
I saw a monkey take that whiskey,
spun the cap off and started drinking it.
Oh shit, on the internet in real life. What you mean? Spun the cap off and started drinking it. Oh, shit.
And on the internet and real life.
The guy held a fifth of whiskey out on the internet.
Monkey grabbed it, went like this with the cap.
Boom, boom, boom.
Spend it up.
Go, go, go, go, go.
That's the coolest monkey ever.
That's a badass monkey.
That's a badass monkey.
So did you, were they aligned?
Like did you, were you open air?
Open air.
Wow. I got pictures and stuff.
I'll show you afterwards.
And videos, open air, we're in them.
So the Mara is just this big conservation.
Like, you can't touch it, right?
They can't touch it or nothing.
And I was asking, I'm like,
but what if like an animal was getting attacked
by another animal?
They're like, that's just nature.
You gotta let them shit, run this course.
But they can't interfere or anything.
We seen a hyena. we seen a hyena get jumped
by another pack of hyenas for trying to eat a baby hyena.
Yeah, and I called it.
I was like, because we were chilling in this one spot
for like 30 minutes and I'm like,
all right, this don't feel right.
There's a hyena over there that just keeps circling us.
And they're like, oh, don't worry,
Asana, Asana, which means like, just like,
oh, don't worry, everything is everything
or some shit like that.
And I'm like, nah, this motherfucker is like up to something.
And like two minutes later over here,
it's rah, rah, rah, rah.
And we see the little baby hyena run off
and then all these other hyenas just start biting
and fucking this hyena up to the point where it pissed itself and then all these other hyenas just start biting and fucking this one hyena up
to the point where it pissed itself and then it ran off.
Really?
I seen a, we seen a, what is it, a leopard,
drag a kazelle up in the tree and you can hear it
ripping the meat off and crunching the bones
and then throwing the scraps down for his cubs to eat.
But we had to wait an hour for that shit.
Who cares? Yeah, I saw that.
You saw real life.
Seem real life.
We seen lions. We were we were this close.
Where that camera is, we were this close to lions.
Stop. And I'm like, you know, in a cage, though, right?
No, they just laying down.
OK, aren't they worried that the thing will come jump up and get hungry?
I was worried, but the people we were with were like,
don't worry, they're not worried about us.
And I'm like, they are though.
We making so much noise.
I got on so much cologne.
I smell delicious.
It'll probably be like a fruit roll up for them.
I'd be shitting my pants.
Yo, it was scary.
It was beautiful at the same time because on the way, we had to get back before the sun went completely down because a lot of animals hunt at night.
Like lions and stuff hunt at night.
And that was the thing.
They were like, oh, like during the day they'll sleep and that's why they're not really like active and you can like walk up on them.
So let me ask you a question. They're counting on these
things to be lazy? Yeah absolutely and that's why they locked you in your tent.
Bedtime was eight right? You ate dinner at eight o'clock so yeah you got back so
it was an all-day thing. We woke up at six in the morning then you have your
breakfast and then they drive you out into the morrow,
and then you have lunch out there.
No, you have a...
We had a tea breakfast at the camp,
then they drive you out and we have actual breakfast,
like pancakes and sausages and shit,
and that was scary,
because they set up a table for you in the middle of the morrow,
and I just leaned against the truck the whole time.
Like I'm leaning against the truck, my wife was like,
babe, come, like, see, it's fine.
And I'm like, no, I'm eating my food standing up.
I was eating my shit standing up, like, yeah, looking around.
So then we go, you drive around, you see all these animals
and then you come back for lunch,
and then you take a break,
and then they send you back out there
because there are some animals that were probably asleep
and stuff like that that are now out.
So then you go back, you have dinner,
and then they drive you back before it gets dark.
And when it gets dark, oh, you hear shit.
You hear it like the monkeys running across the thing.
You hear it like we were near the hyena den.
We didn't realize how close we were to the hyena den
until we saw him fighting.
When we saw him fighting and then I was like,
oh, we gotta get out of here.
And then we drove.
I was like, yo, that's right here.
And you're camped right there.
And we're camped right there.
And you paid to do that.
And we've, I didn't pay.
Eric paid.
It was a gift.
Was it again? And I know it was, Eric paid, it was a gift. Was it a gift?
And I know it was expensive, cause.
Dude, how much is that?
It was like $3,000 a night.
Fuck you.
And old people, and I didn't even know it was expensive
until all these, me and my wife were the youngest people
there and it was just like all these senior citizens
like, yo, we saved up for this.
How did you get here?
How did you find out?
All these white people? All these white people. How did you afford this? I could do, and he said that. And then I was like, oh, my always saved up for this. How did you get here? How did you find out? All these white people?
All these white people.
How did you afford this?
I could, and he said that.
And then I was like, oh, my wife speaks up for me,
cause I'll just like, oh, you know,
I'm just chilling, like I'll navigate my way out of it.
But she was like, oh, you know, he's here for shows
and they gifted it.
Oh, it must be some funny jokes.
You telling if this is what they give you.
Go ahead, let me hear some jokes.
And it just turns into that shit.
Yeah, and then you're gonna pray
that a fucking lion gets hungry.
Oh, I hope you fucking just get eaten.
That's great that it's all old white people.
You know you're getting away.
Yeah.
I'll put the shit out of a little person.
Push the fucking blue head right in front of a line.
But you know, take one bite and go,
oh, I taste all that metamucil and medicine.
It's not like, tastes like mothballs and pussy.
Here's some more fun facts ready.
You know, Kenya has the world's best long distance runners.
Yeah, of course.
Okay, of course.
The guy who brought me over here, he was a runner.
Yeah, because-
And this motherfucker, he'll run like 10 miles a day.
I'm like, 10.
Yeah, because they're in,
they got lions and shit chasing them.
Be the fastest motherfuckers too.
If we had wild animals chasing us from house to school,
the cops don't chase anybody anymore.
Yeah.
No, they just take beatings from people.
They feel bad for the goddamn cops. They used to be the baddest
motherfuckers in the world. And not again, they asked what I
think that's on purpose. I think you we gonna see enough
footage of cops getting a ass whoop and then by 2026, we're
gonna get all these big beefy cop. Yeah, just punching people
Yeah, no reason. I want it back. No. Yeah, you do. No, I want
a balance. Now you don't when you have your son. Yeah, you want to No, I want a balance. No, you don't. When you have your son,
and you want to go to Times Square.
But my son gonna look like the person
they beat their ass a couple years ago.
Nah, dude, the cops, dude, the cops aren't even,
the Irish white cop that you guys are talking,
it's gone.
Look at the cops.
They're all black and Spanish.
There's no more, there's one Italian that's hanging on.
Black cops still do fucked up shit.
Hey, well that's your fault.
Take care of that shit.
You like, hey, me here.
Hey, I don't know, that's not my thing.
Kenya leads the world's cut flower export.

That's what we started. I don't thought Ghana or somewhere like that
What's Kenya? Yeah, it's I don't I don't know how they know that I think that's made up. You think so

Bing, ding, ding, ding.
I didn't know he was born in Hawaii,
but his dad was from Kenya.
What's that?
I thought he was born in Hawaii,
or something like that. I knew he had a Kenyan descent, but I thought he was born in Hawaii or something like that.
I knew he had a Kenyan descent, but I thought that was because his father.
I didn't know he was born in Kenya.
Yeah, I mean that might be a lie because I think that's...
Because he never sold his birth certificate.
I think that Max is setting me up to be canceled.
I think so too.
I think...

Was Obama born in Kenya?
That's what Trump says.
Max, was that a fact? I Obama born in Kenya? That's what Trump says. Max, was that a fact?

this is what they always do.
I'm like, this is how it's going to end.
They're going to win.
They're going to have like this miraculous moment
and come back.
Dude, this footage of, it's literally first in 10.
The guy ran two yards, it should have been second and eight.
Yeah.
And they kept it first in 10. Oh shit. I mean, it should have been second and eight. And they kept it first and ten.
Oh shit. I mean it's on the TV. Yeah, but they're trying to make good television.

saw herself on the Trinitron? She grabbed the beer and started chugging it.
And the other chick? Start chugging it. No, the other black chick? Oh I spiced what she'd do. She did something with her chain. She left her chain up. She grabbed the beer and started chugging it. And started chugging it. And the other chick. Started chugging it. No, the other black chick.

This is how not.
And they were like, yo, Bobby,
we want you to put on the dress.
Right.
And your family is taking care of for the rest of your life.
What you gonna do, Bobby?
This is how not in the business I am,
they haven't even thought of coming to me.
You don't feel like you're in a business?
No, I'm joking.
Oh, okay.
I'm also in a business.
But that end of it, I don't know dude.
I don't believe it.
I don't, look man, I listen, Sam Triple, you know Sam?
I don't know him personally, but I know him.
His Instagram, his Twitter, I mean.
I eat it up.
He's so funny and he's so confident with all this shit.
And of course, I listen to some podcasts
and people say shit, but something's going on, dude.
Something's going on because stars are starting
to turn on each other people
starting to say shit okay Jamie Foxx just gets sick and we don't know yeah what happened
to Jamie Foxx he got sick what of probably drugs fuck that you don't think drugs dude
you don't think celebrities may have gone these benders and then where is he? Jamie Foxx's home. Is he back? Yeah
You sure it's Jamie Foxx, I think so it may be a deep fake it may be a I
Hold on. I think I follow Jamie Fox. I'm telling you right now
All the stuff going on P. Diddy. Oh
What yeah, but I don't know if that's just, that ain't the devil, that's just diddy.
You can't blame that on the devil.
That's just diddy.
I love that you're sticking up for the devil.
Because you give the devil too much credit.
What do you, you believe in God?
Yeah.
You do.
I believe, but I don't believe in God in the sense of like heaven and hell.
I believe in God as a creator and he, you know, he gives you free will and stuff like that.
Yeah.
And I'm saying he, but I don't believe it's a gender thing.
Okay, fine.
And I hate people go,
how do you know it's a he?
Just shut up.
I don't, yeah, I don't even care if it's a he.
I don't give a shit.
My God, and I visualize whatever it is,
and I don't even see what it is.
But I'm so sad that people don't believe in something.
People just believe in fame and willpower.
And it's like, that's fine, but you're gonna get somewhere
where you're gonna need something.
When'd you become religious?
Was it in group homes?
I've been religious my whole life,
but when I got sober is when I found,
because AA is a, it's a...
It's a cult.
What?
No, it's not a cult.
It's not a cult?
AA's not a cult?
Here's why it's not a cult.
Why?
Because they make you replace your worship
of drugs and alcohol with Jesus.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Jesus has nothing to do with AA.
So why is everybody who leaves AA so religious?
It's whatever you, the reason why AA works and it's worked
forever, they don't promote it.
You're not supposed to talk about it.
They don't fight club.
It's just, they call it attraction rather than promotion.
OK. Look, I'm here for me
Yeah, if you want to have what I have I can show you what I do, but I ain't giving it to you
You got to get it
Number two, it's a God of your understanding. Whatever the fuck you want to believe in
Whatever you want a Jewish God Catholic God you want Allah you want a light bulb you want
Whatever you want to believe in you can believe it in but you have to believe in something other than yourself. Yes. You
can't be like I got it because you don't because you haven't. So it's kind of it's
I think what it is up I look at religion not as religion but as a positive
perspective on life. So I believe like every religion is that it's just hey man
don't fuck your neighbor's wife. Yeah. Hey, don't hurt anybody
Help people love people care for people try not to be mean to people do for others
That's all every religion at its base is trying to do and then but then why do religions have so like
Religions we have religious wars and they have soldiers and shit like that.
So to me, that is what makes me get off religion. When I was younger, it just felt like cult
thing and I'm like, yo, they're telling you that church is in your heart. So why do I
have to come here and give you money and be around the people who judge me and all that
stuff? You know, you can just just you can have it at your house.
Yeah, it's a spiritual state of mind that you get into.
You I know guys that, you know, don't believe in any religion.
Most of the people I know don't believe don't believe in religion.
That's like a lot that that's a lot of people are like that now.
Yeah, but I believe you still need some type of spirituality because if you're
just if you're the motherfucker, then you're God, then I'm out. I mean, I'm not God, but
you can be you are your God, you have the ability to create. I fart. You have the ability
to destroy. I fart at bats in uncomfortable situations. I'm pretty sure God doesn't do
that. I'm pretty sure God, that's why the nigga wear the dress.
My God is a nigga.
I can call God a nigga.
Listen, I'm not going to fight that, but I'm pretty sure your God, unless your God is like DMX.
Yo, what you need?
What you need?
I'm here for you, dawg.
You know what I'm saying?
I think, and I don't care, here's the thing people like, well I don't believe it.
I don't care, that's great man.
Don't believe in, do not believe in any, believe that's a belief.
You don't believe, that's your belief.
So do that.
I hate people who think religion, because most people that go to religion
are just looking for something positive to be a part of.
Yeah.
See it.
But did you grow up in churches?
I grew up in Catholic church, Irish Catholic.
All right, see I didn't grow up in Catholic.
I went to Catholic camp and that's just scary.
Yeah, that's terrifying.
Yeah, but I grew up in churches
and it's not what you say.
It wasn't like that.
It was, it was a lot of looking down and, and, and talking about people and
judgment and stuff.
And, and I'm like, yeah, people came to do that.
Cause feeling golly made them feel like they were better than everyone else.
Yeah.
No, I mean,
feeling blessed and highly favored in all that shit.
Yeah, that's not the religion.
The reason why I like AA2 is because it's really trying
to let go of your ego.
That's a main part of it.
And there's these steps that you take where it's like,
okay, admit that you need help, number one.
And then admit
what the problem is and then let go. And then go through all the stuff that you got and put it
down and then go tell somebody that shit. So you're not burdened. And then you got to go and
figure out your little things that you do that you continue to do that you don't want to let go of.
And try to let go of those.
Just try.
Ask for help.
Whatever it is.
Try to let go of those things.
And then, you know what?
When you fuck up, admit it and just go say sorry.
Just admit it.
I fucked up.
I just, at the end of the day, I'm gonna, I gotta take care of this. Because relationships with people are the thing that fucks all of us up.
It's that relationship with somebody that you said something or they said something or you
did something and now you have it here and you're resentment and justified, resentment
and justified anger and then you take it with you and then that goes over to here and then that person has something from them,
that religion, and then once you say,
hey, I fucked up, I'm sorry, blah, blah, blah, it's gone.
And you can have a peaceful day, a serene day.
And then it's, you know, give it to others,
help somebody else.
And try to do all these things is what that program is.
And you don't have to be it,
you don't have to spend money on it,
you don't have to, they don't give a fuck if you show up.
Well, AA is free?
AA is 100% free.
So the sponsors don't get paid?
Nobody gets paid.
That sucks.
What?
All that.
I thought I had you.
No.
All that.
I lived with foster parents that were in AA.
They still did they shit
They still smoke a drink. I think they were just going to check it. That's that's called LA sober
That's a la sober there. I don't drink, but I'm smoking fun. We're doing Adderall fucking killing it
All right, dude, I can't believe it was a great episode dude. I'm having a good time
Yeah, I'm I had a great time
This is fuck great. We got questions from the fans. We're gonna do on patreon. Okay, let's go
But before we go to patreon and that's gonna be if you want to go to patreon
We're gonna be asking questions from the patreon
If you want to see that part of it just go to patreon.com sas robert kelly and join up helps put the show and
And you can ask questions and they'll be asked on the show and you can ask questions and
they'll be asked on the show and you can see the episode right now live they're in
there but you you have a special yes and you shot it there yep I shot it in
Kenya how did you went there did you go back or did you shot it shoot it when
you were there no so what happened was when I got to the show, they were like,
yo, we we filmed the show so the comics can have clips and they were
planning on trying to sell it on their in like sell the distant relative show.
So they were going to sell your jokes.
Pretty much.
Yeah, you can't do nothing about that.
Yeah, because they got a bunch of fake Louis Vuitton's and they got Gucci and right.
And they got monkey belts and they'll sell your stupid. Yeah, they'll probably I'll
probably see my special on the blanket the next time I go there next to some monkey.
How about buy your shit time square next to a Louis Vuitton belt.
So I asked the guy like a year had passed and like I was just sitting there and I wanted
to start building my YouTube.
So I was like, hey, do you have that footage from the show?
And he's like, yeah.
So he sent me it and then I sent it to Keith and I was like, can I do anything with this?
He's like, yeah.
Who's Keith?
Keith Robinson.
I was like, I only call Keith Keith.
Who is it?
Who's that?
You know who fuck Keith Robinson. And Keith Robinson.
Oh, comedy Express Keith.
No, the Keith from this Christmas, the singer.
But you didn't know there's two Keith Robinson's.
I didn't know that.
No, is it the one with the double strokes
that annoys everybody?
Is this a.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stokey Robinson.
Stokey Robinson.
Yeah.
I fucking agree.
If he doesn't call a special that I'll kill him. He's not going to call a special that. Strowkey Robinson? Yeah. I'm fucking great. If he doesn't call a special that, I'll kill him.
He's not going to call a special that.
What's he calling it?
But he does the Strowkey Robinson joke in it.
He does?
Yeah.
Am I allowed to spoil it though and tell you the name of a special?
Yeah, he's 60 something.
Yeah.
I think it's called like, I don't want to say it.
Don't say it.
Yeah.
Don't say it.
Here's the thing.
I think that special, I was at the table. It was great. He's probably gonna win something for that.
He bet it, and if he don't, they're racist.
See, I can't, I hate it.
Come on, it's so easy to do it.
I know, but.
It's so easy to bring up race when you don't get what you want.
It never used to work on us.
It frightens me every time I hear it now.
You're racist, I'm like, I'm like, what'd I do?
I left the black guy in before me.
So, all right, so this guy, Keith sees it. So Keith sees it, and then I'm like, what do I do? I left the black guy in before me. So all right, so this guy you have Keith sees it. So Keith sees it. And then I'm like, oh, I think what should I do
it? And he's like, put it out dummy. It's a 20 minute special.
You're in Africa and you're doing your material in Africa. So
I was like, all right. So I sent it back to him and I asked
him if they can like add some effects and stuff and make it
look better. And they did a really good job.
What'd they do?
They did.
They, man, did you, you seen it at all?
The camera quality is good.
No, okay.
Is it up?
The sound quality, it's on YouTube.
Let me see it.
Bring it up.
Yeah, but don't watch it with me here.
No, I hate dude.
I can't work myself at all.
Yeah.
My last special kill box, I was so fat and I, clubs will use this clips of it.
I'm like, please.
You be like, come on, man.
Please, please don't do it.
It just makes me want to cry.
No.
I was such a tub of shit.
You did that in 2022 though.
Yes, right?
Yeah, 2020.
That's the Louis, that was on Louis' side?
Louis produced it.
Louis and Leah produced it and he directed it
and put it on his side.
Yeah, it was great. It was great,
but so they added effects. Why would you have to send it back to Africa? But it was effects
from the 80s? No, it's just they had the color corrected. That's what I mean by that. They
had to like color here. I don't know how to color correct. Only know how to like make
it dude. Make it bright. If I had no, don't watch I only know how to like, I suppose. I make it, dude. Make it bright or something. If I watch it.
If I have, no don't watch it.

I know, you gotta brighten it up
cause I can't even see this guy. And I'm got to brighten it up because I can't even see this guy
And I'm not trying to be racist. No, I can't even see it. Yeah, I thought I I didn't know what that was
You can't say that you can't
Stop stop stop. I thought that was dope. I had to leave that in there This is so it I had it was the most African I had to start it off with Africa
It's like here's the thing with white people what we only like one or two colors
Mexican and Africans love them all yeah, it's it really is it's you think that shirt is too colorful that no
