Down as poppers.
Yeah.
Here we go.
When you all talked up in the day before.
And the news online going on and on.
What's lying wrong?
And there's something up.
Now here comes a great kid you know you can trust.
From the truth.
To the news and cameras.
To the fake politics.
And the propaganda.
Yeah, this kid's screwed in.
Got a lot to say.
Aw, shit.
It's about to be a long day.
It's a long day. It's a long day. What's up everybody?
Welcome to another episode of Long Days.
We got a very special episode, especially for the fans.
This is the premiere, the unveiling of J Harvin 15.
Yes, sir.
I just learned his real name is Jared.
Yep.
Jared Harvin.
Yeah.
He calls himself Jared because it's his real name. His dad's name is Eugene. Yep. Jared Harvin. Yeah. He calls himself Jared
because it's his real name.
His dad's name is Eugene.
Yep.
And he named you Jared,
which is, you know,
on the nerdy sounding scale,
Jared is a step up.
Yeah, it is.
It is a step up.
If you continue
and if you're going to keep going
on the cool scale,
your kid will be like Jay
or what would be a cool name it'd be
just like trey trey or like like black people like to name their children after like country
so or like state so i'll just probably name my kid like zurich or something like that
honestly we gotta up the level of the game but like me and my dad apply for a job somewhere
and it's like a finance job we're gonna get that job but if we show up we're
not gonna get that job they're gonna turn us into janitors so that's the only that's the only thing
uh that's wrong about my first name but yeah hey you know jared but jared's not eugene is full
blown in your face yeah eugene is nerd i mean it's mr crabs it's like focused on money you might as
well be jewish but like yeah how did he get the name eugene i don't i don't know because my my aunt is named
ronda which is you go classically black you know that's a classic black old school name
when you hear ronda you know the yams are going to be sweet yeah like you know thanksgiving coming
around there's extra cheese in that macaroni yes so my father's name is eugene and then my
uncle's name is david and he's yeah and he's the youngest one you choose in your family yeah i
don't know what's going on like there's like harpenstein or something like that but yeah it was like it was it was hit
or miss with the names but eugene is definitely for the middle for the middle son's name yeah
that's really bold and just just the goal to david as the youngest son it's like you really didn't
like my father like my grandparents did not like my father if you're gonna name him eugene that
would be funny if his brother's name is like latrell and then the other brother is no but this middle one you just go just try eugene
it was weird because my brother's name's my my parents named us all jays so oh this is james
middle is jordan and i'm jared jared which fucks up my father because when he gets mad he doesn't
know who to call right he'd be so mad he'd be like john jay join jad and be like who the fuck
is in trouble right now like it's it's, it's very confusing.
I don't know why you would do that to yourself,
but I was named after a doctor on a show.
Apparently my father.
So it's old.
Is the doctor named Jared?
Yeah.
I like that name.
Name him.
Yeah.
Every one of my black friends.
Like I remember my friend Todd,
his brother named his daughter Jordan after Michael Jordan.
Yeah.
Well,
you can get away with that.
You can get away.
Jordan is kind of,
Jordan's can be unisex.
Yeah.
Jordan can be like Jamie.
Jamie's unisex, right?
He can be girl or boy.
Jordan.
Sam's another good one.
Sam.
Yeah, Sam's a good one.
But Sam's only, it's always short for Samantha.
There's two different names.
There's Sam or Samantha.
Sam or Samuel.
Samantha and Samuel.
Yeah.
Sam's also a good dog name too.
Sam's a good dog name. sam's a good dog yeah yeah
but you know what the funniest dog names are always real like names that aren't dog names
yeah like if i meet a dog named vinnie it's a funnier dog name yeah then sam sam is you're
right sam is like a traditional stereotypical good dog name sam or like spot but if you call
if you're if i go to your house your dog's name is bruno we're gonna have a fucking problem all right i like like if it's like a full name of like a guy's name like christopher
if your dog's name is just that it's christopher or samuel if you called your dog samuel yeah
that's funny yeah yeah i mean like a lot of people they have that trend and want to name
their dogs after their pets after stuff like pretty soon there's gonna be a dog named ivermectin yeah somewhere pretty pretty soon come here ivermectin come here and you will will we know which side
the person who names their dog ivermectin we know where they vote yeah they vote to the right yeah
right yeah right to the right your hair is your hair's kind of parted to the right it's part yeah
yeah it's parted to the right did you sleep parted to the right. Did you sleep on my pillow? I did sleep on my pillow, yeah.
Because my mother-in-law
probably left it at my house.
She only buys American.
She hung a Trump flag
facing her room.
Yeah, when you live in Melville,
those are one of two choices, all right?
You got to hang a Trump flag
or you just got to plant
some hydrangeas
and have your house be dark.
You can't even,
they got to know
that you vote with Trump
or your house has to look haunted
in order for you
to strive in Melville.
That's the only thing that you got to do.
So you're familiar with Melville?
Yeah, I'm familiar.
I'll go there every time my iPhone cracks.
I'll go up to Walt Whitman Mall and they make me stand in the line for two hours.
So Jay Harvin, Jared Harvin.
Yes, sir.
Is from Long Island.
Yep.
The great Long Island.
What part of Long Island?
Amityville.
Amityville.
Yeah.
Okay, is that where the Amityville horror happened?
Yeah.
So like. That's the most famous thing that happened. okay is that where the amityville horror happened yeah so like
that's the film's famous thing that happened yeah that's the most famous thing i mean we have other
things like eminem made the song about us like mike james came out of uh he was famous basketball
player he came out of amityville de la soul went to uh amityville high school yeah um and a couple
and a couple other basketball players came out of there but like that's more on the the white
side of town like the rich side of town and everyone
asked me oh have you gone to the amityville horror house i'm like listen is it a rich part of town
and it's haunted and i'm black either way i'm probably gonna die okay it's either the ghosts
are not gonna like me or someone's gonna call the police on me so i don't really have much of a
choice but yeah that's uh it's in like a well-established neighborhood and uh now like
people live in there yeah of course they're white like white people you can just change the tiles on the walls be like okay this is not haunted anymore if you put a
nice kitchen backsplash right in a fucking house people like yeah they're murdered in that happened
here like 70 years ago when you're black in america america's like a haunted house yeah right
yeah it's kind of like oh don't go in that room that's spooky where you mean that room that means
arkansas yep you're like don't go to mississippi't go to Arkansas Alabama certain parts of the room are okay yep just don't look in the closet yep exactly there's some there's
some parts of this country that you you can't go into but it's like you got to watch around that
corner because if you don't because if you don't know a skeleton can pop out around the corner and
he could shoot you when even when you're on arms yeah that's that's the house now they kind of like
made they put a fence there they have a big sign
there that says like uh private property no trespassing but like they they renovated it
even from that picture so it looks nice you know now what happened in the amity though like
so i i believe i forgot his name uh the the fail i believe that he he murdered his whole family i
believe and he when they locked him up and they brought up up on charges he said that uh spirits have induced him to do that so and i believe after the after he
moved out after they cleaned cleaned out all his family uh the new family moved in and they
experienced uh apparitions i believe another family moved in after that and they had like weird
things so like you could see the movie with ryan reynolds in it when he's going when he has a full
beard in it i believe that's one of the families that they demonstrate but yeah and i know why it could definitely affect
those long island families that moved in afterwards because long island families don't like to leave
the house no so they just got too much ghost yeah like if i was living there or somebody else living
there from the city we always we always leave the house so you're not going to get infected it's
like a viral load yeah like covet if you're if you pass somebody quick you only get a little cold no
but if you're exposed to them for a long time you get a lot of cold so if you're a long island
hearted person you're going to get exposed to a lot of ghosts yeah because you're going to stay
in the house long island people go on vacation in their house yeah so when they in the summer comes they
just go outside yeah and they have like a their pool their backyard they don't long island people
don't like to leave long they don't like a long island vacation is going to hampton and having
some strawberry sherbet and then driving on sunrise highway back like that that that's exactly
what a vacation is like these people they'll go out or like for a real big long island vacation
is going to seaside heights Heights in Jersey and visiting Drew.
That's exactly what like a vacation is for them.
But yeah, it's very.
Or the Nautical Mile, right?
Nautical Mile, yes.
But you got a lot of Dominicans over there.
There's a lot of Dominicans.
The Nautical Mile has changed.
That's how they learn Spanish.
People in Long Island, that's how they learn Spanish.
You go down there, you hear some boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It's like, oh my God, are we in Mexico right now?
The Nautical Mile, you hear a lot of like old school long island families going you know
it's ms13 is in they're on the nautical mile two things nautical mile you hear a lot of
upscale long island families and you hear somebody's muffler because
because no there's something about hispanic kids they love loud cars they do they love loud they
do like loud cars.
There's certain things that are just ingrained culturally.
Mufflers are something that as soon as Hispanics heard that muffler, they just, and they like
the car to move.
Yeah.
But that's more of a West Coast thing.
It is a West Coast thing.
But like you see weird, like I see kids with like pink cars that are low to the ground,
like pink cars that are all suited out and their rims are like light blue.
And it's like, that's the most ugliest thing i've ever seen in my life and i think it's
like we are long island is the little brother of the city so whatever we do we think it's special
to us yeah when really it just seems dumb right like like the bronx has hip-hop like yeah hip-hop
is cool and then you go out to us and we're doing covers of like ll cool j songs right in a beanery
somewhere it's like dude like you can't live up to it we're always trying to compete but our level of competition is
never is never lined up i think that's because long island gets things late it's sort of like
you know yeah you don't get those ballots late though they get those bright and early
they get those bright and early peter king you're out of here you know you used to go like especially
before the internet you would go to like another country
and they'd be listening to like
Fine Young Countables.
Yeah.
She drives me crazy.
Yeah.
And it would be like 2003.
Yeah.
And they'd be like,
would love this new song.
They just get it late.
I think Long Island,
since it's its own country,
they're maybe just getting
that little cool jazz.
Yeah.
They maybe just might've hit Long Island.
Yeah, the other day I was at work,
I was bumping Michael Jackson.
Someone goes,
hey, that kind of sounds like the Jackson 5.
I was like, sir, this is Remember the Time by Michael Jackson.
When did this come out?
The 90s?
Oh, I didn't know that.
Have a nice day.
I was like, you goddamn loser.
You don't know Michael Jackson in the 90s?
You know what it is? I think the mentality of long island has something to do with how bad the
traffic is traffic in long island yeah there's only like two ways in and two ways out right it's
bad if you have the southern state you know you southern state and then you can do the cross island
parkway to lie which is like you know is the the god frame going in and out of the city or you can
go southern state turning the sunrise and go to the belt which which which i took to get here you
went around that way yeah so you can either come around that way hit the bqe you can come around take yeah yeah so you can only hit it from two angles
two angles so it's like having sex with your 50.
yeah wish you're getting pretty close to the guy you only hear from two angles and you know so it's
like there's this thing mentally right like the Like the first time I did Governors in Long Island. Yeah. I left from here when I was living here in Bear Ridge.
It took me, I wasn't like, it was like my first time like planning to go to Long Island
on like a Thursday or Friday.
So I left, I think it was Friday shows.
So I left.
It took me three hours to get from here to Governors, which is literally like 20 something
miles.
Yeah.
Three hours. So I basically could have flown to Miami in the time it took me to get to this to Governors, which is literally like 20-something miles. Three hours.
So I basically could have flown to Miami in the time it took me to get to this club in Long Island.
And when did you leave?
I left at 5.
I got there at 8, right at the show.
Oh, yeah, that's traffic.
And also coming out, when you go to the city, sometimes it takes a couple hours.
So I think Long Island just has that mentality, like we're another country,
because when they travel, it's almost like the same amount of time it takes it takes you to go to Atlanta yeah I feel like if we were exposed to more
infrastructure like if there were more bridges on Long Island people would kind of like broaden
their horizons like they would actually want to be able to travel but because it's just one big
landmass yeah we just like to stay here and nobody else wants to build any bridges like New York
doesn't want to build more no Connecticut doesn't want to build that bridge they were going to plan
from Long Island to Connecticut because people just want to keep long
island people in long island yeah yeah i don't want long connecticut people they were planning
on building a bridge from uh like bridgeport they had the ferry to go to the bridge forward to the
north shore and then they were going to build a highway they were actually gonna build a highway
they actually started building i don't know if you know that no there's a route that just stops
because they started building and i think connect Connecticut, the Connecticut Wasps were like, keep these fucking meatheads with their shaved eyebrows out of here.
They were going to call the Andrew Cuomo Highway, but then he did what he did.
He was like, oh, yeah, we can't do this.
Yeah, the Cuomos, their father has a highway.
The father has the Mario Cuomo Bridge.
You got the Mario Cuomo.
Yeah.
Mario probably was a little touchy-feely.
Oh, yeah.
You can't blame them. They're Italian. Yeah. Yeah. I was, Mario probably was a little touchy-feely. Oh, yeah. You can't blame him.
They're Italian.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he was, that's the worst excuse ever, though.
But it is the funniest excuse ever.
But, like, it just makes it easier for perverts now, because they can just act Italian.
Yeah.
That would be like if I got, if I just got caught cheating my wife with a guy, and I
was like, yeah, I'm Greek.
You know, it's just kind of what we do.
You know, once in a while, I just, my dick falls into an ass.
What can I, i'm a greek
yeah but it's part of my culture you're blaming on racism like my friend talent harris he has a
good joke about that he's like you can't just blame your talent harris who is talent harris
son of the community talent yeah so talent junior it's not talent junior because talent senior who
you've seen on def jam and they're very clearly claimed in boston comedy club his real name is
james but he named his son talent harris
that's his real name but he's not a junior because his first name is james so it's just a big mind
fuck of a name right talent harris is my guy he has jokes like you can't blame your actions on
race that's like if you got caught he's like that's like if i got caught stealing out of the
janitor's closet at my job it's like man i didn't steal i'm just nigerian and it's like you you
can't you can't do that because you just open up a wormhole of excuses.
But like, yeah, that is the wild, wild thing that just say, yeah, I'm just Italian.
I'm just Italian.
I speak with my hands.
I'm affectionate.
You know, and honestly, you probably could have got away with all the sexual assault,
the verbal sexual assault, if the guy spoke quicker.
Right.
Because if you got a sexual assault, you just got to get in there and get out.
You just got to walk up to him.
Hey bitch,
nice titties.
And then we'll walk out.
But the promo was like,
I would just like to say that the angle of your cleavage is making my
pursuit hard.
It's like,
yo,
we already have you on IG live by that time,
dude.
Like you had to get in and get out.
That's a good point.
See if he would have done it quick, talk quick wouldn't even know what happened it's like happened and then
it's over but like when you yeah he just like she really had time to take it all in yeah i'm gonna
touch your titties now yeah yeah you gotta speed that shit up son you gotta speed it up now
growing up on long island yep okay you grew up in Amityville.
Is it mostly white?
I grew up in Amityville, but the thing about me, I went to school in Farmingdale, which
that is predominantly white, which is a weird thing because-
So how many Sweet Sixteens did you go to?
I only went to one, but-
No, I went to two, but both of them were in the basement because both of them were owned
by black girls.
So black girls have Sweet Sixteens in Long Island too?
Yeah, they do.
They do.
Because Sweet Sixteens in Long Island is? Yeah, they do. They do. Because Sweet Sixteens in Long Island is a big thing.
Yeah, it is.
I've said before, if you're a father in Long Island, you are praying for a boy because
you do not want to pay for a Sweet Sixteen marriage and a nose job.
Yeah, yeah.
They were both black.
They were both Nigerian.
So the fathers were standing on the dance floor just to make sure no one touched.
But that's literally what it was like it was even before
covid they were like six feet six feet six feet right um but i went to farmingdale which is
predominantly white school yeah so the fraction of like because uh there was like black people
from amityville a little bit and like east farmingdale and that's where majority black
people came from so the black it was weird because the popular kids in high school were white yeah
they kind of just took off of black culture.
So they had a true religion, you know.
So that's still the same.
Yeah, that's still the same.
They had true religion, jeans, Jordans, saying the N-word freely whenever they wanted to.
And black people saw that.
They were like, okay, I got to up my blackness.
So among the black people in the Minicans and like Puerto Ricans, there were a lot of fights.
It was like, I need to be ghetto to out black them.
Which is a weird dynamic to see because I go to my black friends and it's like you
know I I know you don't say yo I'll fuck you up on a daily basis yo you play Yu-Gi-Oh in your free
time like I know I know who the fuck you are you don't have to be like this black but like I
noticed that it's a weird dynamic but um yeah I went to a predominantly white school to escape
white kids imitating you,
black kids have to continue to get more black.
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta.
The reason for it,
so when you meet like the blackest black kid you know,
whatever that means to you,
he's just trying to,
he's just trying to keep blackness.
Yeah, he's just trying to keep blackness.
Because white people just keep encroaching more and more.
You gotta call the bluff on the blackness
and you gotta double down on it.
You gotta double down
because the white kids just keep taking.
Yeah, they just keep taking. Like Israel in in the west bank they just keep taking a little
bit more exactly yeah these people they they so that's the same because me and jesse were kids
that was that was the trend too it was like we all we all thought we were black we wanted to be
black black people have the like coolest culture yeah best music yeah best style like i always i
always say to my friends like especially being in comedy i never i never feel like out of place or i never get um insecure about
myself because i know i have what everybody wants like i right i know i have the secret like when
when people were talking about black lives matter and people were like oh we need to put black people
on the forefront and you know we need to have them and demonstrate them their lives more i'm like yo what are you talking about i am the show yeah i'm the one that tells that
tells the story i'm the one that like puts everything on the forefront i don't think you
don't you don't have to lift me up right it comes from me right so like when even when i get insecure
about the game the comedy game i'm like no i'm a bi yeah i got everything that they want it's true
i mean all the way to japan i mean it's the most popular culture worldwide. You know, it's funny, too.
We were growing up, me and Jesse were growing up like Italian kids.
Those kids, I don't know where they are now.
Synonymous.
They were synonymous with black people.
Yeah, it was funny because they'd be like, get out of my neighborhood.
You can't date.
And then you'd look at them and they would have like flat tops with like designs in their head and like a starter jacket.
And I was even watching this documentary last night about this.
It's a great documentary on Netflix about the trashers in Danbury.
Have you heard about that?
It's incredible.
So this mobster, Italian mobster, who ran the trash in Connecticut,
his son was like this kid.
The father was so powerful and rich rich he just bought him a hockey
team yeah and a minor league hockey team oh yeah yeah yeah i saw i saw this and the kid was like
italian and italian but he had like a fade and he had like a like a monkey curl on his head monkey
curl uh you know that that part yeah curls like that yeah and like you know he was like you know
his jeans were baggy this was like the late 90s. So Italians, it was funny because Italians, when we were growing up in Brooklyn, were always the most racist.
But they always were the ones that acted the most black.
Yeah, bro.
The Italians are the ones that like they push us away.
But like you embrace our culture at the end of the day.
But then you also got to admit, black people love Italians too.
Scarface.
I mean, how many black kids you know who don't have a poster of Scarface on their wall?
Scarface.
I mean, one of my favorite movies is The Bronx Tale.
I mean, it demonstrates that.
But like that type of culture is something to be admired by because I think at the end
of the day, it represents toughness.
You know, that toughness that you got to put up to the world.
Black people have to do it.
Italians is kind of a choice.
Like you don't got to be in the mafia.
You don't have to lock the door and say you can't leave.
Because like I have to do that but like italians like love the
culture i was in the city and i was i was here to saw i heard someone rapping they were like
nigga this nigga that i turned around it was paul versi i'm kidding i'm kidding but but no like
there is an admiration between the two but like it's it's kind of it's kind of a hypocritical it's kind of hypocritical when it comes from the Italians because there's so much hate that comes from the Italians towards the blacks.
Right, because they love so many things about the culture so much.
Yeah.
Now, how much do you know about De La Soul?
De La Soul, I know a couple.
Because that's shocking to hear from a 23-year-old.
No, bro.
That whole movement of hip-hop was dope.
It came and went. It came and went, but like i my whole movement hip-hop was dope my parents came and went it
came and went but like i'm a bit i'm a big movie buff and i think with with movies i love how like
music is involved with movies and how music can set a scene so like any movie that i watch i really
attach myself to the music and especially like my parents did a good job because my parents in
their 60s so like they were bumping uh cool in the gang you know charlie wilson the gap man
you know old Motown stuff.
So I didn't really open up my world to that.
But like my favorite MC is Phife Dawg.
Wow.
Yeah.
I love Phife Dawg, you know.
Great documentary, by the way.
Michael Rappaport made that documentary.
It's on Netflix too.
Exactly.
A lot of people don't even.
Another demonstration of a white kid loving black people.
Yeah.
I will freely admit it.
Yeah.
You know, the thing is, like, it's crazy.
You start realizing how old you get because there's a lot of people, like, my wife is,
how old is she now?
Is it time for me to upgrade?
Wow.
Because I still have 30-year-old party favors.
So I think I've gone through two or three girlfriends on their 30th birthday.
I'm kidding.
I joke, sweetie.
I love it.
She's turning 32.
She had no idea.
She didn't even know who Tribe Called Quest was.
Oh, God.
There's a lot of kids that don't even know who Tribe Called Quest is.
Mrs. Poppins, come on.
Yeah, she didn't even know.
She didn't even know who they were.
Just drive eight minutes south on 110.
You'll find out who Tribe Called Quest is, okay?
Please.
So you're a fan of De La Soul De La Soul that's
80 late that's early 90s late 80s yeah yeah De La Soul man like I'm a big fan of like just the old
hip-hop and I love seeing the evolution of music you know seeing how music started off and also
like a big part of it is like how artists now show love to other artists like because like a lot of
artists that I listen to like Amine they'll have like charlie wilson on a song it's like okay charlie wilson where do you
oh gat band and like so i love to see evolutions like that but yeah i'm curious about this as
someone who's 23 right so it's like drake now lil nas all these other artists what do you think rap
has gone backwards lyric like where do you think the r-form is because when we were coming up it was really
about like lyrics like it was like oh this kid's nice you know we go like uh cool giraffe big l
um naz the list goes on and it was like these guys the lyrics and there was it was like there
was dancers and there was a lot of skill yeah there was there was like djs djs are gone there's
no like cutting anymore yeah there's
no back every hip-hop artist had backup dancers yep so they would all they would be like two guys
behind doing like in sync shit like not in sync shit but they were in sync doing like moves there
was moves break dancing went into like hip-hop moves hip-hop dancing that's all gone yeah djs
are gone yeah dancing's gone um the need to be like an incredible lyricist
is gone so now it's just like about what bumps in the club which isn't bad am i wrong you're not
wrong but you gotta understand i want to hear from your perspective you know hip-hop started
in the 70s in bronx so like when you first heard that it was infectious like yo what the fuck is
this so you're gonna do everything that you can you're gonna you're gonna break dance you're gonna
spin on your head you're gonna do a back flip and shit like that but, what the fuck is this? So you're going to do everything that you can. You're going to break dance. You're going to spin on your head.
You're going to do a back flip and shit like that.
But now hip hop is 50 years old and you can't do it. It's like an old person.
You're Asian.
It's like, yeah, I can't do that shit no more.
You know, just wow me with your beats and I'll be all right.
Yeah.
Well, you know, I think with a lot of, you know, you're 46, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So a lot of that, it's easy to dismiss it as, oh, you know, they don't care about like
the lyrics no more.
So have we just become, we've become like the grumpy old people?
It's not the shame anymore.
Yeah, exactly like that.
They don't break that.
You just got to know where to listen to.
It's so weird when you find out you're fucking old.
You're not.
You're a good looking guy for your age.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I look younger though.
Yeah, every time you shave your beard, I think you're 28.
But then it grows back and you look 64.
So, like, it's hard to put a gauge on it it but you just got to know where to listen dog like a lot of my amine is really good you know i don't even know who amine is he's from he's from
portland he's a pretty good artist cole is good if you start from cole see that's the thing
dude he's from portland but when did rap get to portland no but you gotta but like they're
connecting on the left like we just like like, we just let West Coast in
and that was it
and then next thing you know,
they're South
and then some guy's like,
hey, I'm from Kalamazoo.
I'm like,
I'm not listening to you.
And then there's
a fucking white guy.
What's his name again?
Then there's Jack Harlow.
He doesn't even have a rap name.
But Jack Harlow,
see, now you sound
like an old man.
He doesn't even have a rap name.
What's next?
They're not gonna put mustard
on the knishes?
Like,
if you don't have mustard on your knish, I mean, who is a knish fucking plane?
My fault.
And I know you're knish.
I know you're very well versed in the Jewish culture.
Yes, yes, I am.
I'll go to Katz's right now.
Give me a Ruben.
Don't play with me.
Yeah, bagels, knishes, you know it.
I think it's just like with that, hip hop is that culture that you don't understand what they're talking
about like and they're grasping their own emotions and they're making something out of it so you know
amine is an artist that he kind of talks about his own depression and insecurity but that's
something that as like being a young dude me and drew we can relate to you know being young in the
world but like you have those artists that have influences from nas like kendrick is still really
good i love kendrick yeah now now what good thing for old people to do, I'm not calling you old, but a good thing for
old people to do, look at the new artists that you like and then look at the people
that they have on their label.
So for me, J. Cole.
J. Cole has Boss under him, who's from Queens.
He has J.I.D., who's from Atlanta, really good.
He has a group called Earthgang on his label.
They're really good.
Kendrick, you can do the same thing with J-Rock and Schoolboy Q.
Just look at their labels, and you'll find who you like.
Do you know any of these names?
No.
Do you remember how many names we used to know?
Yeah, it's like an encyclopedia.
Yeah.
I mean, we used to know.
It was a lot.
Everyone.
We used to know.
We knew like, remember Far, what was it, Souls of Mischief?
Where were they?
Far Side.
Far Side.
Yeah.
But Souls of Mischief came.
Were they from Seattle or somewhere?
Oakland.
Then Oakland started getting involved.
Yeah, rap has changed so much.
And now guys are rapping about their insecurities.
Yeah, but, bro, it resonates with you.
Whatever you're going through, you know.
Who's the best of all time to you?
Best of all time to me?
I don't really have a best of all time
I mean
You can look at longevity
You can look at like
Nas
Like Nas is really just like
Wow Jesse loves Nas
Yeah Nas is really good
Now people
They'll pit him against Jay-Z
Because he doesn't have the success
But like Nas is like
Still really good
Like Ether
He smacked Jay-Z in the face with that
You know like
He did
So it's like
Jay-Z definitely won
Jay-Z won the career Yeah Jay-Z won the face with that you know like he did so it's like jay-z definitely won jay-z won
the career yeah battle jay-z was definitely won the hennessey commercial yeah yeah
he definitely won that i mean he got sponsors i mean yeah he may not be able to get the vip of
the club but best believe his drink that he sponsors will be in that vip um but yeah man
but like i i understand it from your
perspective because now hip-hop now just deals with whatever the problems that the young people
are going through yeah and if you see little nas x walking on the met gala looking like a sexy 3p
3po it's like okay what's going on here guy like he's pregnant trying to promote an album it's
like all right i understand that because that's kind of too much for me to understand because
it's like yo dog like i'll listen to your music but do I have to watch you get a C-section?
Is that really necessary, dog?
But that's not just him, but that's everybody.
That's people putting a young black man who's a part of the LGBTQI community,
they're putting him on the forefront so they can get more exposure and things like that,
which I understand.
That stuff is great.
You need representation.
I also think it's just
the times now
where people are
increasingly trying
to be more outrageous.
Yeah.
Because when you look
at the Met Gala outfits
this year,
it almost looked like
the Hunger Games.
Yeah.
Or like,
remember that movie
where Chris Tucker was,
come on, man.
He was out.
The Fifth Element.
Fifth Element.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Everyone had those crazy outfits. It's almost like that's what outfits look like now that's what
because that's what they go for the man yeah like what's the style now like i see new balance so
that's like full circle because new balance were cool when i was a kid yeah like where is there to
go now besides like fucking wearing a paper bag or a dress people always try to be innovators or
if they can't.
Even your haircut.
It seems like we've run out of shit.
Because your haircut, speaking of De La Soul,
dude in De La Soul had that haircut.
There's no new haircut.
Because think about it like this.
When we were kids, the flat top was originated.
It was like a totally new thing.
Even hip hop was a music that was a totally new thing. Skateboarding was a totally new thing. Even hip-hop was a music that was a totally new thing.
Skateboarding was a totally new thing.
It was a white thing.
It was a white thing, but then black kids started doing it.
Yeah.
Remember, Tor?
Shout out Terry Kennedy.
He got arrested.
And there was like new things being invented.
When's the last time a new thing was invented?
I think innovation is the line where it's like it's crazed.
People don't understand it.
I mean, you got black kids now that are getting gold links and gold change in their hair now.
Like, they're getting implanted.
Like, little Uzi Vert got a diamond in his head.
It's like, I'm trying to be different.
But then when the first pioneer does that, it's like, okay, you set the standard for it.
Now I can elevate.
So, like, people are going to go around.
Yeah, people are going to go around having Drew's chains in his head.
Like, I mean, they're going to have Jesus crosses coming out their head.
So, like, it's innovation. That's what in his head. I mean, they're going to have Jesus crosses coming out their head. So it's innovations.
That's what it'll be.
Maybe my daughter will end up just having a diamond on her face.
Yeah.
That's maybe where it goes.
These are the things.
And if you want to see innovation, you can just go to Bushwick, Brooklyn, and you'll see it.
I was at a show last night.
Yeah, they're doing it.
But it's very retro.
But our girl had a tiara on her head.
She had the diamonds imprinted on her head.
Really?
Yeah.
And it looked wild.
I was like,
it was like,
she was like,
yeah,
I bought it off of Etsy.
I was like,
what the fuck?
Ew.
They weren't even real diamonds.
No.
Yeah.
Cause MGK was like wearing pearls on his face.
Yeah.
Because it's like,
there's nothing else to do.
Yeah.
We're in the age now where it's like,
those people are crazy.
Do you think we'll ever get to the point where the style is just like people just put on um a full hajib like a
body hajib like you if you go to like the vmas in like 2040 they'll just that'll be a style i don't
know i mean the people in kabul might have something to say about that but i mean if they
keep on working out in that uh u.s embassy gym they might have something to say about it i mean
they're gonna come over here with guns and they're going to be not on their hips, but it's going to be on their arms.
Or maybe it's like people just stop wearing clothes.
Maybe just people show up naked.
That could be another thing.
I mean, or maybe we just change sexes.
That's the last thing.
Maybe that's why that's happening so much now is because it's the only thing left to do is like live your first half as a boy and then you become a girl as fashion.
Yeah, you switch it up.
You wear it as fashion.
Yeah, you go at halftime, you go to the locker room, you changeime you go to the locker room you change outfits that's what you got to do that's what
you got to do but like a lot of people they either innovate or they get or they get lazy like you i
can't tell you the amount of girls that i've seen in the city currently right now that look like
lizzie mcguire right they literally dress like i mean you might you know lizzie mcguire right yeah
kind of but legally i'm not supposed to know. Of course. You're asking a minority to have you know.
I'm talking to Giannis Papas, not Chris D'Elia, my bad.
Yeah, I was like, I was watching it last night.
Now, you can't say that.
Yeah, no, but like.
I'm familiar.
Yeah, it was a Disney Channel show in the early 2000s with Hilary Duff, and she had
a certain way that she dressed.
Is she the one that's gone crazy?
No, that's.
That's Britney Spears.
Britney Spears crazy, but also, no, Amanda Bynes.
I mean, yeah.
I like to do Amanda Bynes check-in once in a while. Someone's got to check in on Dan Schneider, because that guy, I mean, but also Amanda Bynes. I mean, yeah. I like to do Amanda Bynes checking.
Someone's got to check it on Dan Schneider because that guy, I mean, he had the producer
for all the Nickelodeon shows.
That guy had Amanda Bynes go crazy.
The next thing you know, Drake Bell is touching kids in Mexico.
Someone needs to crack down on Dan Schneider.
Who's Drew Bell?
Drake Bell?
Yeah, who's that?
So he originally started off doing the Amanda Bynes show with Amanda Bynes and Josh Peck.
And then after that show, Josh Peck and Drake Bell got their own show called Drake and Josh, which is pretty popular in Nickelodeon.
But Dan Schneider, it's called Schneider's Bakery.
He's the guy that produces all those shows.
And that's strike two.
So one more.
If Josh Peck goes to Israel and starts murking women, we're going to have a problem, Dan Schneider.
So we're going to have to look into him. By the way, Josh Peck watches this podcast and starts murking women, we're going to have a problem, Dan Schneider. Okay? So we're going to have to look into him.
By the way, Josh Peck watches this podcast.
So how you doing, Josh Peck?
Yo, shout out Josh Peck.
We had the same birthday, November 10th.
Salute to you, my dog.
So, wow.
Yeah.
So yeah, people who are under him have really fallen apart.
Josh Peck is the last one.
We're going to find something out about Josh Peck.
Yeah.
I mean, you got to step away from the industry as much as you can.
All right? Just go somewhere in Austin and sell sell ivermectin i don't know i don't
know what to tell you but rogan's probably gonna be there he's gonna buy it up yeah but um yeah
there are there are a lot it was like a late show lisa mcguire in 2004 and like there are so many
girls that i see in the city now that dress like that because like it's what they know it's their
childhood but they revert you either go forward and you innovate and get called crazy or you just
fall back into what you're comfortable and what you know you know so like those are two
things right right right right right i just yeah i guess what we were talking about before is the
new things like putting diamonds in your face or doing uh dressing like they were dressing at the
mac gala because a lot of other stuff has been done but then also fashion could be cyclical
because the the women now like the style is back to the 90s with the baggy clothes.
And then that was popular
in like the 70s for a little bit.
And then like, yeah,
it's interesting how it's cyclical,
but new things will be invented.
It's just weird that nothing new,
there hasn't been like a new music
that's been invented, a new,
I guess comedy's new.
I guess this whole internet thing
is new, podcasts are new.
We're kind of in it now. Like lot of people say that kanye kind of created a new gospel
rap with like don the album that came out i like yeah i don't like listening to him yeah i can't
understand what he's saying and a lot of people give me shit for that because they tell me he's
this fucking visionary i believe he's an incredible musician yeah i love his music but his fucking
shoes look like people tires.
No, yeah, I only like one of the shoes.
You tell me you wear those.
They look like they're Crocs.
I only like the shoes that Drew has on.
I like those, but besides that, yeah.
They look like the shoes that the people in the desert in Star Wars would wear.
Dude, they look like shoes that If ducks could choose to wear shoes
They'd wear those shoes
Yeah
Let me see those
If you put those shoes
If you put those shoes on
You're gonna be chasing a young
Anakin Skywalker
That's what's gonna happen
Do you really like those shoes?
No I like the bokehness of them
I like those
Yeah
They look like moon shoes
Yeah I don't
Those look
For me those look like
Like an 85 year old
Guy in a retirement home
Should be wearing those
And they should be on
A wheelchair
No those are nice But yours are nice too They ain't nothing wrong with rod laver yeah classic
there's nothing wrong i mean you look like you have stab roast like your shoes right now that
guy with yeah that's that's rod laver yeah but it does look like stavros right yeah but there's no
rod lavers now are these in style these have always been those no those yeah but it's at the
end of the day it's all about how you coordinate if your color's on you know just like john with
a spoon you got to coordinate If you come out the house
with basketball,
if you go around
looking like Adam Sandler,
then yeah,
we're gonna have a problem.
But if you can coordinate
like you do right now,
you're good.
So you can wear any type of shoe.
It doesn't really matter.
Now, okay.
You grew up in Long Island.
Let me ask you this question.
Yeah.
How black is your family?
We got a Eugene name.
I wanna know about
your family gatherings. How many family name i want to know about your family gatherings
how many family reunions have you been to in the south yeah or at and or at those reunions
is the food in tin pans on a line okay so we don't go to the south when we go to the second
blackest place on earth we go to the bronx all right and uh and uh see the thing about the thing
about it is my father married a puerto rican woman and and my uncle david he married a puerto
rican woman and my aunt married a black man and he unfortunately unfortunately passed away of
cancer but she reburied to a white dude who's 72 named stan so now you got a little bit of
everything in your family yeah i got you got a little bit of all bit of New York in your family. Yeah, I forget his name.
I don't even know his name.
He's 75.
He fell asleep on Thanksgiving dinner.
I swear to...
He's Jewish, Stan?
I'm not sure of his name,
but he's white and he's really old.
He's white, yeah.
Yeah.
He had to take a nap during...
White and very old is basically Jewish.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's pretty black.
Like, you know,
we have Frankie Beverly playing at the family reunion, but sometimes, uh,
Tony Rosario will get played as well.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
Cause you know, like we've got the rice and beans, we've got the mac and cheese.
Oh, you got a little mix, but mac and cheese is, that's a staple.
Yeah.
At a, at a black party.
That's a staple.
Yeah.
But there's gotta be a mac and cheese.
But then also we, we take like some white foods and we, and we make it better.
Like my mom makes a great cabbage.
She'll put some kielbasa in it and some kielbasa and chorizo and then my mom makes a really good
potato salad too potato salad sauce that's a black party too yeah potato salad but a chorizo
and cabbage chorizo and cabbage son that's like fucking german i can bring some to you if you
want yeah yeah around thanksgiving yeah you know yeah you know i think um black people don't get enough.
I don't know if it's black people who did this,
but collie greens made that way, that's my favorite vegetable.
I would eat more greens if it was collie greens every day.
Collie greens are really good.
They do it with like, they put the pig in there,
and then it's like, is it vinegar in there or something that gives it that?
Yeah, it's vinegar.
You got to put the right, vinegar in collie greens
is just like garlic with the Italians, all right? You something that gives it that. Yeah, it's vinegar. You got to put the right. Vinegar in collard greens is just like garlic with the Italians.
All right?
You got to slice it thin.
You got to slice it real thin.
But yeah, it's really like a staple.
Collard greens is an underrated vegetable.
Collard greens, and to me, I know a lot of people don't like it, but stewed okra.
That's like a real South thing.
I love stewed okra.
I love the texture of it.
I love the taste.
It's really, really good.
I've had it, but for me, collard greens is number one collie green's number one underrated people like collie
greens you can only get them at barbecue restaurants or like a a black family's party
they have a great texture that's great there's no like fancy collie greens yeah like why can't
you go to like a five-star restaurant yeah you can only get to the barbecue a family reunion
or andrew schultz's house those are the only three places you get it yeah but like
seriously like you go to like a fancy restaurant it's always like spinach or asparagus white guys
love asparagus yeah they love asparagus i love asparagus you love your pee to be radioactive
like that is one thing that white guys love i mean you smell like dogs and your pee smells like
they're pissed too like i mean come on we do smell like dogs now because I've gotten that smell.
I've walked into a wet bar.
I mean, not a wet bar.
I've walked into a hipster bar.
A wet bar.
A wet bar where they serve alcohol.
I've walked into a hipster bar.
Maybe it's the facial hair.
We do smell like wet dogs.
Yeah, there's something about your pores.
You guys smell like lotion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
but we do smell like wet dogs yeah there's like there's something about your lotion yeah yeah yeah i want a better you got more you have a more it's a more uh aromatic smell yeah right before i came
in there i rubbed shea butter and jojoba oil on my neck like you best believe i wasn't gonna come
in here smelling like ass come on yeah yeah why maybe it's because we don't use lotion you can't
when we should you use lotion just because you can't see the ashiness doesn't mean it's not there. It's not there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
White people don't.
I don't.
I use just a bar of soap.
I don't use moisturizer.
I don't use facial cleaner.
I use bar ivory soap
and it's the same soap
I put in my ass
that I put on my face.
No, dude.
That's not good.
You're doing the bare minimum.
I need you to bump that up.
I need you to bump that up.
Do you wash cloth?
I do wash cloth.
Yes.
I did not realize it's very funny. I did not realize that that up I need you to bump that up Do you do washcloth? I do washcloth Yes I did not realize
It's very funny
I did not realize
That there was a black thing
Until
I one
Went to my white friend's house
But also two
Until I watched
The episode of
History of Hyenas
As you were like
Oh yeah you know
Black people use washcloth
So I'm like
Why would you just put
The raw bar of soap
On your skin
And expect that to be clean
Like that doesn't make sense
I remember you said
Like you used the washcloth You wiped your ass with it because you didn't know what to do but
like but but like bro like you gotta get the dirt off i'm not gonna put a raw bar of soap son it's
like that's like giving your that's like saying that you love your wife before uh she goes into
surgery and you just kiss her on the forehead like if you don't get your fucking lips over here
really tell me that you love me bro like it's like it's such a it's such a weird thing like i'm gonna i'm gonna agree with you listen i think you're right i think why
obviously having a washcloth that you can wash in the washing machine and then use again yes and put
the soap not on the bar that's the cleaner way to do it i've always wondered why i got a rash all
over my body i think part of the reason is because i'm using the same soap bar from my ass on my face.
Yeah, you got to separate that.
I was not aware there was another way until I went to one of my black friends' house,
probably Jaha Johnson, going back fourth, fifth grade.
He used the washcloth.
I didn't even know how to use the washcloth.
I slept at his house, and he gave me the washcloth, and I didn't know what to do with it.
I dried off with it.
I didn't take it in the shower.
I'm sorry to the Johnson family, but I used that bar of soap on my ass.
I didn't put it on the washcloth.
Only later did I realize that you had to take the soap, rub the soap from the bar on the
washcloth and use the washcloth.
You got to get it.
I dried myself.
I was like, oh, black people must use small towels.
And I just went like that, patted myself down.
I didn't know probably it probably looked like
someone's first night in jail showering like they were so uncomfortable but like i mean but you
watch it's a true thing like you washing your face washcloths they don't i don't know why people use
washcloths white people and it's a loofah too they use loofahs yeah yeah it's like i don't want to
feel like a sea urchins on my neck like get that out of here, dude. That's plastic, too. Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, using the same washcloth that you use on your face and that you use on your ass might work for you because you look young.
So maybe the secret to success in youth is like dingleberries for you.
I don't know what it is.
They say black don't crack, but Greek don't leak, baby.
So yeah, it's educational to know that.
I think the washcloth is probably the number one way to bathe.
Yeah.
So, now, you've been doing.
Hold on a second.
It's my brother.
Let me just.
It's the oldest one?
The middle oldest one.
The middle?
Okay.
So, you started doing comedy in college.
You've been doing it six years now.
Yes, sir.
How does that change?
You're starting now.
So, everything's internet. You've been doing it six years now yes sir you how does that change you're starting now so everything's internet
you've been doing it six years so that's basically you started in 2015 no you can't
sorry who cares this is a budget production we um do you focus on the internet now what does the
live performance even mean to you no the live performance it's like so like i started making
videos on vine in high school,
like my senior year.
And I love that.
So you started on Vine?
Yeah, I started on Vine.
That's a new thing.
Just like Andrew, like King Bach and like Logan Paul.
Who's massive now.
Really massive.
King Bach is massive.
Yeah.
And they use that to their advantage.
And like Logan Paul and Jake Paul, you know, things like that.
I started on that and like i found my love for like
doing sketches and then when i got to school like a declared theater i got into plays and then i
started doing stand-up i was like wow i like really love this and to find that mesh up now
like right now i'm using it both i'm using like the online and the live performance because i
don't want to get a following and then have them come out and then be disappointed.
The live aspect is as important.
But you're thinking of like,
I want to build the audience
and then when they see me live,
I'll have the skills to back it up.
It's all about presence, dog.
You're either going to see me on a stage
or you're going to see me on your phone,
but either way, you're going to see me.
So if I can, and that can improve
because you see all these companies,
like Shane Gillis, great special great special by the way, bro.
I DM'd you, you didn't respond, but it's okay.
But it's a really funny, it's a really great special.
But when you see him perform, you're like, yo, every one of his bits could be a sketch.
So once you realize the interchangeable, how interchangeable that can be, it makes it so
much easier.
So like I'm online, bro.
I make the sketches, you know, I have like PSAs that I do, but also I take the stage as important. And once I do one, like I'm further bro i make the sketches you know i have like psas that i do but also
i take the stage as important and once i do one like i'm furthering myself in the other
right so it goes hand in hand you know right right because uh yeah i mean like
i don't know if they'll i don't know if there will be big stand-ups anymore i don't know if
they'll be like so like you know somebody sees a special of yours
and then that's how they know you yeah it's like they'll watch your special if they know you from
yeah your clips your podcast your jokes your vine or or like if or if your special makes a big
enough noise which like shane gillis is a lot of people are talking about but he was making
sketches first yeah like you built he had the podcast he had an audience that he came yeah and
at that point you can't blame the player you got to blame the podcast he had an audience that he came yeah and at that point you
can't blame the player you got to blame the game because the people and i used to get mad when
i was making like sketches three years ago and i'm like yo this is pretty good writing and then i see
guys like uh supreme patty you remember that guy drew yeah pimples all over his face he would go
into walmart and like throw a milk carton up in the air and splash everywhere that shit would get
like three million views yeah yeah and i'll be like bro that pissed me off so much because i'm
putting so much work into this shit.
And you're going to watch this fucking guy?
This pizza face over here?
You're going to watch him?
So that got me so mad.
But once I realized, yo, you got to pay attention to both.
Because funny is funny.
There's a lot of stand-up comics.
You go on the Instagram page and it's just pictures of them doing stand-up.
Like, oh, I'm a stand-up purist.
I'm like, yeah, guy, but you got 400 followers.
And 100 of them is like your grandma's friends from the book club.
So you got to put in some work, and it has to be balanced.
But that's why I'm around OGs, like Talon Harris, the OG Talon.
I'm around him a lot.
I try to learn from the greats, bro.
So it's a little bit of both.
You're trying to learn a little bit of both.
Yeah, Supreme Patty, I mean, if he wanted to be on this podcast, I would kick you off in a second.
Yeah, I mean, I understand. I understand. I mean, if he wanted to be on this podcast, I would kick you off in a second. Yeah. I mean, I understand.
I mean,
you guys come squirt some water.
I mean,
what did he do?
He squirts lemons in his eyes.
Yeah.
He does something like that.
The best belief you're going to lose some diversity hires for in this room.
I mean,
but I would trade the numbers for the diversity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If I'm,
yeah.
If I want,
if I want this podcast to get picked up by network,
I'm going to show them this episode.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's what it is now.
It's like you kind of like, you know, it's like the industry's definitely gone diverse.
And then the internet has definitely gone alt-right.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Very alt-right, bro. If you want to do a podcast, you got to say you don't believe in the vaccine.
That's it, bro.
Or else you go woke.
I mean, the world's gone fucking crazy.
You have to have a qualm
There has to be a fight
There has to be some type of
Standard where there's like
A frat
There's like a
A fission
Or a fraction
And you have to
Capitalize
On that space
In the middle of it
So no matter what you do
There's gotta be something
Oh shit
You have to make an
Oh shit moment
And people are fucking dumb
So oh shit moments
Are gonna be dumb shit
Yeah
Are straight kids
Still being born?
Like you know
I walked past
Like two 12 year olds
The other day
And they were
Arguing about football
And I was like
Okay straight kids
Are still being born
Alright
But I'm not sure
I'm a far way away
From high school
And college
But you just had a daughter right?
I just had a daughter
So is she
Is she devastated straight?
I think she might be.
Bobby, my only advice to you is keep that kid away from a Hannah Gadsby special.
That's the only thing I can say to you.
I mean, you know, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, yeah.
Straight kids are still being born.
Yeah, straight kids are still being born.
I mean, you know, some of it is like representation.
Like, they want to be heard, you know.
And that's something that I can understand because I saw the effect of, like, you know some of it some of it is like representation like they they want to be heard you know and i that's something that i can understand because i saw the effect of like you
know a black panther had on like because i was in college and you know i saw like the big roar of
like black representation and black power so that's important to people but people want to be
heard you know and once once they're heard and they they have their little their little niche
it'll be like all right cool yeah but like if you deny them and keep on denying them they're like okay i'm up this i'm gonna keep on upping this and the next thing you know
little nas x's cheeks out on the met gala right so like you you just gotta i'm not bothered by
little nasa i'm not either yeah because like you know i'm not you're doing you're doing i feel like
little nas x will make you gay if you're gay i don't you know like if little nas x is pregnant
and stuff like that like you just can't catch gay that way yeah you know what i don't you know like if lil nas x is pregnant and stuff like that like you
just can't catch gay that way yeah you know what i'm saying like you don't just see lil nas x
and then you go okay i'm just i want to bang dudes now you know you just say all right like
there's a dude who's pregnant he's doing some wild shit he's you know madonna did that too like
in that era madonna was doing like the shocking. At the time, she was like horning it up.
And I don't mean that in a derogatory way,
but I mean like she was doing edgy stuff and being sexual
or whatever she was doing.
She did that video.
Remember the video with that black actor who's a great actor?
And remember she was like, like a prayer, that video?
And it caused like, jesus was black yeah and that made people in an uproar so she was pushing buttons
and pushing it better i just see him doing the same thing you know like your heart you're harping
on what you see is vulnerable in society which is like as a marketer that's what you want yeah
you're paying attention to the game and you're gonna elevate yourself same thing same thing that tech uh six nine did same thing that trump did like he he saw he saw the
holes in the game he put his foot in and he climbed to the top and he stepped on people to get there
yeah and you know now now he's at where he's at yeah no he the kid the kid was an entertainer he
was he definitely moved merch he moved merch yeah he's moved merch for cheeto fumes he did
yeah yeah yeah he's definitely got Cheeto fumes.
Definitely.
Yeah.
But Lil Nas X, it's kind of artistic what he's doing, I guess, in a way.
Yeah.
He's artistic.
And that's the beauty of it.
Once you see, oh, this person cares about what they're doing.
They're not just doing it to be a hack.
So your generation's a lot more open-minded when it comes to sexuality and gay shit.
I'm open-minded.
It doesn't bother me you know like a lot of the old people like my dad my dad's first question when he sees
a new superstar it's not what's their name it's like are they gay jared right that's what he says
like are they gay jared from his perspective he like he probably like the joke i just made he
probably be like are there any straight kids being born yeah yeah but it's like it's like
that's what he comes from another era he comes from another another era but it's like you always
focus on gayness and you always ask about gayness but
then i think when you get older you just end up being gay because my father would be like yeah
is he gay jared and he just does gay things like i i want that he was barbecuing the other day i
was like hey dad what you making he turned around looked me in the eyes he goes salmon i said okay
guy what the i was like what the you're worried about little dollars x but you're saying salmon
like that well because yeah i, the testosterone does drop.
It does drop.
It does drop.
It does drop.
So it's like, yeah, we do become a little gay.
Yeah.
Even staying in and watching TV is a little gay.
Yeah.
It's like, what are you doing tonight?
I'm just going to stay in, get some hot cocoa, and watch some TV.
I mean, my father owns a fanny pack.
In the beginning, that's probably because he wanted to hide his gun.
But now he just wants a fanny pack.
You know?
So like, your dad loves Puerto Rican pus. Yeah. yeah yeah that's what it is that was that your mom's second
your mom's puerto rican my mom's puerto rican yes right um yeah i mean you know that's a good
that's a new york family it is it's very new york there's a few families you know if you told me
what you are i could tell you where you're from if someone tells me they're jewish italian i know
they're from new york yeah if someone tells me uh they're polish i know they're either from new york or poland yeah
it's like food it's like food if if someone says yeah i put chili on my pasta you know they're from
cincinnati you know they're from cincinnati exactly if someone tells me they're their father's black
their mother's puerto rican i'm like you're from new york yeah because there's only puerto ricans
in like three or four places.
Puerto Ricans are rare.
They're like truffles.
There's only like Orlando.
All the places where I sold tickets, basically.
Orlando, we're talking about a lot of Puerto Ricans.
Orlando, Springfield, Massachusetts, which is one a lot of people don't know about.
There's basketball over there.
Yeah, Basketball Hall of Fame, but a lot of Puerto Ricans as well.
Springfield, Orlando, New York.
Of course.
Those are the three big ones.
Then you have Chicago's got some.
Obviously, Miami has some.
And don't forget the ones that are mistaken for Mexicans at the border.
Those two.
Yeah.
But really, it's those three.
And there's more Puerto Ricans in New York than there are in puerto rico yeah there's more jews here than there are in
israel well yeah puerto ricans and jews are like that's that's the combo that's a that's a new york
spice when that combo comes together it's like i know you own knives but you're afraid to use them
yeah so like anxiety about it yeah um yeah that's uh puerto ricans it's a very new york puerto
ricans because a lot of places have black people.
A lot of places have white people.
New York is, that sprinkled Puerto Rican is like what makes New York kind of.
That New York essence.
That's what gives it the grit.
It's such a mix of that.
Like, it's really Jewish, black, Italian.
The Irish don't contribute anything to the culture.
No.
They're just cops.
No.
And they sit
at bars yeah but it's like culturally i would go black puerto rican jews italian is new york
culture like but a lot would you say that that's new york culture that is but like irish do have
because irish represent the police and like now with everything that's going on the police are
like so big especially with trump like when you go, the police are like so big, especially with Trump. Like when you go in, when you're driving in like culturally,
like,
like the feel of the culture.
but like,
I feel like police have become embedded within like the New York culture,
like that,
like Italian culture.
Cause like Irish,
Irish were the first cops in America.
Right.
So like,
yeah,
that's how,
and you know,
that's how you know,
being a cop is a tough job because all they do is drink now.
So like,
that's not,
that's how,
you know,
it's stressful, but I feel like Irish now it it's like because of the police insurgents and like
how big the back the blue and things like that i feel like that's starting to encroach on the
new york culture as well yeah but i i know you're saying but i meant like the culture like yeah of
course you're from new york yeah of course that's that's the new york attitude like if you leave
new york like the new york attitude the, the New York flavor has those flavors on.
The Irish is in there, but the Irish, like if we were to do ingredients, the Irish is like a, it's like a ingredients you don't really taste that much.
Like if you were making a, if you were making mac and cheese, Irish are like the pasta.
Yeah.
It's like a plain pasta.
Yeah.
Then like the black is like the cheese and the Jews are like another cheese.
And then the butter is maybe the italians
you know what i mean and like the irish is like the one that's like you're like what is irish
culture they're just like we don't even know and the puerto ricans are the sass on yeah puerto
ricans is just like gives you a little bit of that clang clang clang yeah and then uh it's a it's a
gritty black italians the food and the fuck you what are you doing yeah that all that combined i
think that is like the best way that's what makes us new yorkers that's what makes us gritty and also all
those coming together it just prepares us for the world it prepares us to be observant of our
surroundings it prepares us to not trust people and you know always have that that aspect because
all those things put together they're struggling that like they're struggling the italians and the
blacks and the puerto rican on the way up. And Jewish. Yeah. But they were all working class.
They complement each other.
They were all working class ethnicities that kind of came up at different times.
Black people now coming up.
This is like the black people are now, black people are getting money.
Yeah.
It's like your time right now.
Yeah.
It's my time.
I think I'm on this podcast.
Yeah.
And yeah, none of those ethnicities had your obstacles no so black people doing well considering those obstacles yeah which you know that's you know it's like that louis ck
joke is the best where he goes like when you talk to white people about slavery they always add like
yeah they always add the years that was like 800 years ago you're like that dude was 150 years ago
that's two old people living back to back like that was like 400 years ago. You're like, that dude was 150 years ago. That's two old people living back to back.
That was like 400 years ago.
You know how many times I've heard that?
People go, that was 400 years ago.
They want you to forget about it.
It wasn't even close to 400 years ago.
They always want you to forget about it.
And then Chris Rock had that great joke.
You know, up to about 1965, 60,
depending on when your town wanted to start acting right,
which is true too.
It wasn't like slavery.
It was like a clean break like a
shit and i think that was part of his joke too uh even gillis that was the louis ck he's like
what's like a cream blake like a slavery ending and we like black we love black people even gillis
his new joke on his special like he's talking about how like the alabama was segregated up
into the 70s and then they played usc and they lost bad they were like yo we need black people
now so like it's all it's all stipulations. It's like you went black until you needed to.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
But like, yeah, it's every group's had their struggles coming up working class.
Black people, you had a little extra struggle.
Yeah.
A little bit more.
Yeah.
It was a struggle on top of a struggle.
It was a little bit more.
Yeah.
So yeah, the world's changed.
And a lot of everyone's complaining now.
We live in a culture now where, like, everyone's kind of, like, that's kind of like a sexy thing to be like, hey, this is my story.
That's your way to put in your bid for acknowledgement.
Yeah.
And I don't know if I'm out of touch, but it's like, it seems like a lot of those people don't have that much of a big problem no no i mean you can't like it's still a problem right so you can't
all the kids in hungary the the kids in africa are hungry it's like okay i don't know their
lives this is my life right but there is it seems like to be a bid where it's like you'll go on
instagram and it's like oh my my skateboard wheels are not turning at the right rate it's like okay
dude like my my house just burned down.
Like, there's differences in between struggles.
But, like, that's the way people need that importance, man.
They need that, this is mine.
I'm going to claim it.
And, like, what we were talking about before, people are innovating.
So, like, when you innovate, you got to come up with new ideas to how you can get clout.
So, it's like, yo, all right my if my dog being gay is not going to get
some views then how about my cat being gay right like like maybe maybe that's part of the fact
maybe that's a new fashion thing it's like it's part of what you're wearing yeah you're going like
so what how are you hurt you know like here's let me let me tell you about my story so my brother
special needs uh my granddad was uh born Turkish enslavement I have been
discriminated against it's like a game of a voice
it's like the show The Voice
when people keep listing all their problems
and then someone's in the chair and he's like oh
brother's gay okay I'm gonna turn around
yo that's funny
that would be a funny sketch
where we did The Voice based on
people saying their problems
like how much they were oppressed.
And you go like, yeah, because brother's gay.
Okay, got it.
It's fucking hilarious.
Dude, that would be a hilarious sketch.
Yeah.
Oh, that's funny.
That is so fucking funny.
And then you get mentored by somebody who's like,
you get mentored by like, who would be like a good, like AOC?
Or like somebody who would really, you turn mentored by like, who would be like a good mentor? Like AOC? Or like somebody who would really,
you turn around and there's Ilan Omar going,
I'm gonna fuck him.
Come in, come in.
Let me talk to you.
But even with AOC,
like her wearing the tax, the rich dress on the Met Gala,
it's like, okay,
you're trying to put your level of importance
because you know what you-
She actually made it fashion.
She actually did what I'm talking about yeah she actually literally embodied it
she made it fashion but also she's very hyper aware at the type of event that she's at
and the type of narrative that she pushes so even for that you have people talking about your name
no ain't no such thing as like bad um bad publicity right it's good publicity you get
people talking your name so you have a
dress on tax the rich when you talk about giving ebt out to everybody it's like yeah tax the rich
the only thing that got taxed i think was my piece because she was looking good okay she's it was
really funny she's getting she's getting really dunked on now by the right and left people wanted
to create only fans now the left the left is dunking on her too because of that present vote
where she just voted president on the Israeli dome.
What is it called?
The Iron Dome thing.
So she's getting dunked on the left.
But the thing about the dress thing was,
was it was just,
it was funny.
Like if you talk to someone
who loves AOC
and you tell them,
okay, this is what,
this is what is going on there.
I don't even think they would take it in.
Because people were saying it was ironic.
Or people said it was, what was it?
They were saying hypocritical.
But it was irony, right?
Yeah.
And then she did that video where she put irony behind her.
Was that the word, irony?
And people said it was ironic, but it's not ironic.
And you're like, no, it was ironic.
Yeah, it was.
Because you were wearing a dress called Taxi Rich.
You were at an event that was very rich.
Your designer is dating a guy whose father is a billionaire.
He's like some billionaire heir.
And what makes it even more ironic is the designer of your dress,
her company,
doesn't pay taxes.
Her company used to pay taxes.
So it's a very ironic thing and it's almost like she's wearing,
it's almost like,
like I said before,
it almost is like it's become fashion.
AOC kind of wears,
whether it's true or not
she wears that kind of um cause as part of her fashion and to the fact we're at the met gala
she actually manifested it when she was wearing like a tax the rich dress she pushes she had a
political slogan on her dress but made by a real designer it's all about real fashion yeah it's all
about elevation you got to find ways to innovate and how you can get your name out there and you know get your cause out there but you know
yeah put putting tax to rich that was a pretty smart move maybe i should wear my tweets on my
shirt like maybe like who you are i mean i mean don't do that because like some of your tweets
are wild so i'm like but it's like maybe that's where it's headed it's like like what who you the
the avatar you create of who you are, whether it's true or not.
It needs to embody your whole spirit.
And maybe it actually ends up starting to be on you.
Yeah, like your words become your skin.
Yeah, maybe it's like, you know.
Did we just write a Hollywood script together?
I think we did.
Oh, my God.
Either that or we just started a fashion line.
Yeah, beat that, Andrew Schultz.
Yeah, we just started a fashion line where Shane, beat that, Andrew Schultz. Yeah, we just start a fashion line
where Shane Goss will just have a shirt that says...
Legion of Skanks will just have shirts that say,
we freely say that word.
And then, you know, you'll have other ones that go like you know anti this anti that because
like political slogans or whoever you say that you are what you believe or whatever it's so
ingrained in your brand now like everyone's picked a brand that it's almost like maybe the next
logical step is they actually start wearing it and it's that it's that psyche it's like this is
my brand i gotta push it no matter what how far can i push it and you know these lines there's gonna be a lot of lines to
get crossed that people think it's crazy but you know putting myself out there 24 7 how like that
motivates people with i was talking to drew before he sells shoes like that introduced young people
to stocks like stock x and stuff like that but like focusing on money at a young age it makes
you say okay how can i make money even when I'm sleeping?
How can my money make money? And that type of philosophy, when you apply it to a brand, it could become like, you know, OK, what's the levels that I can take this to?
So like that type of innovation, it started with like, you know, marketing and like business and shit like that.
But that shit's going to now with this new age is going to tumble into something different.
Yeah, it's because that's almost like what we make now in this country is like your brand yeah that's what you make you yeah everyone's like creating them
you create you and it's like uh yeah and it's not all true it's uh you create you that you
wait for mbc to destroy yourself so what's the goal for you why don't you want to do like
you want to do internet stuff i want to i want to be do it all you want to do internet stuff? I want to be. Do it all.
You want to do special.
Yeah, I want to do it.
I want to be self-sufficient.
So I want to have a fan following.
So doing that, I got to show that.
What did your dad do?
My dad was a cop.
So your dad was a cop?
Yeah.
In the city?
No, at Brooklyn Court, right there in Red Hook.
Oh.
26 years, a sergeant, yeah.
So does he approve of you being a comic?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, my parents always told me that, you know.
That you were only funny and not smart. Like parents always told me that you know uh you weren't that you were only
funny and not smart like my dad told me my parents always told me that they wanted me to do
what i wanted to do like you know your parents goal make sure that your son or your your daughter
does better yeah than they do you know so i mean he was kind of shaky when he first when he first
found out i wanted to act because he was like are you gay jared but then but but then he saw he saw
he came he came to my
uh school like a tough dad and then you're like it wasn't tough like it was just like uh what
you're gonna do with that but like but he's tough you died yeah yeah he's so he grew up in the
bronx and stuff like that you know um but he saw he saw my work and he believed in me and he always
encouraged me um and which is like again like going against like that long island culture like
i think a lot of people strive to be their parents.
A lot of kids in Long Island, they strive to be what they see because that's that's comfortable.
You ain't got to strive for nothing more than that.
But, you know, when when you live in a town like mine, predominantly black, and then you see like the other side of Farmingdale and you see the difference of lifestyles, you kind of want.
OK, there's more there's something more than this than just this block.
Right. You know, like the pimple butterfly, Kendrick Lamar.
There's something more than the block.
That is a very Long Island thing.
Comfort and what the family.
It's too comfortable, bro.
Does your dad want you to move into a house next to his?
That's a big one.
My dad wants me to move in with him right now.
Because my parents got divorced and he was like,
I might get rid of this apartment and I might move back in.
And I'm like, oh God, where am I going to can't just have i can't just have your hands on the
drying rack as i'm saying a podcast all right so um where's your mom live now my mom so my mom she
moved down the street from me because my my grandfather my grandfather passed on my grandmother's
in the nursing home so your dad and mom live with still live the same block yeah my father lives two
minutes away from me he doesn't live on the same block but you live with your mom no i live by
myself so like yeah i live at 23 i'm trying to be i didn't move out till i was 28 i'm trying Yeah, my father lives two minutes away from me. He doesn't live on the same block. Oh, so you live with your mom? No, I live by myself.
Oh, independent 23-year-old.
I'm trying to be.
I didn't move out until I was 28.
I'm trying.
Or even 30.
I don't even remember.
I'm trying.
Now I think I moved back in.
I mean, but you're Greek.
You don't want to be far from your parents anyway.
We really don't.
We're just attached, especially to the mother.
It's unhealthy.
Yeah, you got to be close to those grape leaves.
Yeah, so my mom moved out. I'm controlling the house by myself right now but you know finding
that balance of responsibility you know i i know there's something more to life you know there's
something more to this so like i want to do it all man i love acting i want to be i want to be in
movies you know i i want to i want to have a following i want to be able to have a connection
right there because at the end of the day i like if i don't want to do nothing else i want to be able to run my errands enjoy my day
and then head to a comedy club and kick some new jokes i like that you put your errands first what
you want to run your errands yeah but on the top of this were your errands it's responsibilities
like you're a kid i gotta remind i gotta remind myself to get an oil change at auto zone bro yeah
i mean here's the deal here's the fucking deal with a responsible kid right here i got to make
like you'd be like hey he would say yo, Jared, you want to come out?
We're going to go to this party tonight.
He'd be like, okay.
First of all, I got to go to King Cutlet.
I got to make sure I stock up the fridge.
I got to restock toilet paper.
Yeah.
I got to go to the post office.
Yeah.
I was almost late here because Sloan's was giving me another re-up on my gas.
You're a kid.
I love how you just, running your errands was top of the list. Yeah. But you know, when you get to that. Like, I'm a kid i love how you just running your errands was top of the list yeah but you know
when you get to that like i'm a kid who wants to like when usually people like you know what i want
to take my shit to the next level i want to do all that you started with i want to get my errands
done and then after i get my errands done i want to live my dream that's but my errands have to be
done i gotta have a check on every single thing on that list because that's important like right
now i'm realizing that you know in order to be a great comic you got to be a great person like there's so many people that
are not in check with their regular life that they let themselves deteriorate and that shows
on stage like i was saying but i don't want to be a creek in the cave comic right i don't want to be
saved by that creek in the cave comic every time i went there it was like 140 in the morning there
was like 16 buckets people people the only thing that was illuminated in that place was was was the
pinball machines like no one was happy and people were there downtrodden sad and they were like yeah
this is the grind bro this is what you got to do to be great i'm like get the fuck out of here bro
like you're bleeding from your eyes right now like jesus christ i don't want to i don't want
to do that like i want to be so well embodied with myself as a regular person when it comes to comedy
i enjoy this shit right it's not it's not like it's not your life it's your job yeah it's not my when i have a happy life
regular life a happy life and that leads into like having a having a great career because
i mean struggle paying your struggle and paying your dues are two separate things paying your dues
going to the open mics and you know you know writing the sketches and like writing the new
jokes that's one thing but putting yourself in the struggle at 2 40 in the morning and jackson heights queens or whatever just to do five minutes no one's gonna pay
attention to you dog come on bro yeah you can be doing other things like and that that's why you
gotta put your hand in everything bro ain't no reason why you should be a comedian not be podcast
not be acting not be trying to like get into music or something yeah the show business is show business
dog yeah i think something that harvey wine scene that showed us 10 times over. I think it's a little generational,
that whole like do everything, be everything.
Yeah.
And I think it's because everything is available
and maybe you need to kind of do it.
It's available, but also that spirit.
We just talked about that.
It's like we had to pick like one thing.
It's like, what are you going to do?
But that was before like you could do everything at once
you know but you but you did it like you were you were an example of that dude like yeah being
porno but like the things that you guys did with ditch films like it was self-sufficient and
maybe in the beginning you felt no one was rocking with it but you did it because you were too early
that was our thing you were too early but you were building up your resume and then when i did
rogan i was too late i mean listen i mean but you got on that spot. And then when I did Rogan, I was too late. I mean, listen.
But you got on it twice.
Got on it twice.
You got on it twice.
