I'm Andrew Schultz.
I'm here with Akash Singh, Real Life Cast.
We got Alex and Eden on the ones and twos and a very special guest.
Special guest.
Jessica Rhodes is in the building.
Welcome, call by a porn star.
What is the common term?
Internet personality.
I just feature cancer.
First off, though, you got to call me.
What is this new shit?
I knew you were going to call me out on that.
What is it?
No, not vegan.
I prefer the term professional cum guzzler.
Professional.
Set the tone early.
Just come straight out with it.
Just call it what it is.
Just call it spade a space.
I'll be honest.
I don't research videos before we have guests in the industry come.
So I've only seen one.
I don't believe you.
No, no, no.
I've seen two things, right?
I've seen one of you.
I've seen one of you, and it was a scene where like you're in a shower, and someone is like kind of like watching you in the shower, and then they like come in.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
I know exactly what you're talking about.
First of all, that's a little uncomfortable.
As like, I'm already like watching you.
There's like a moving camera that makes you feel like a real fucking creep.
You're like, like, he comes in with it.
I was like, dude, this is too much.
This is too much.
So, what, let me ask you.
Let me, we're going to flip this around.
Yeah, yeah.
Take control, Tessa.
No, I'm just kidding.
Okay, so, so, what kind of porn do you guys watch?
I'm always curious because there's one, just one, just one.
And that was one of my questions for you today.
Have you met Rick from backroom cassette?
Rick from backroom cassette.
No, I have not.
Why are you acting?
You don't know where he is.
He's a bad person.
No, I actually don't.
I actually don't know.
Backroom Cassidy.
For as long as I've known Andrew, he's loved this.
This man, say it.
This man and his fucking regular penis.
Dude, this is Rick's dick.
It is a three-quarters panel.
It is so average, but he does product placement.
I wish we got that Poland's trick money.
I wish.
Write the check.
Write the check.
Oh, no, yeah, I can draw his dick.
I can draw the veins in his dick.
I need to get you some more Spank Pank material.
No, no, no.
I have it all.
I've seen the internet.
Yeah.
You know, not that big.
Oh, God.
There's porn about it.
Filtering tapes.
If you know the veins on his cock, sir, that's taking it a little too long.
I think he loves it for a different reason.
It forks like the Thims River.
Oh, dear God.
It's a river.
You New York fucking the River Tim, not the Tim's River.
Americanize it, bro.
It's Columbus.
No, I'm thinking.
I was like, what this, son?
You New York?
The River Tim.
That's the French one, right?
It's the river.
You take to the Bronx.
And you want to go stomp somebody out.
No, no.
The Tim's River.
Tell me more.
I have a body.
I'm trying to figure out where I need to hide it.
Okay.
So here's the thing.
What's the thing, Andrew?
Now, your porn, I'm not going to lie, it's way more elegant than Rick's, right?
Because Rick.
That's probably why I haven't shot for him.
There you go.
No, no, no.
You're standards.
Levels, my friend.
Levels.
Yours, you are known as a porn star.
You are, and I researched 12-time AVN nominee.
Oh.
Oh, nominee.
Hasn't one, hasn't he?
Yes, I have.
Yes, I did.
You did?
This year.
I've won Best Supporting Actress for Expeds, Best Body for Night Movies.
And actually, actually, I just added another to the shelf.
I just won Adult Feature Entertainment of the Year for the Exotic Dancer Awards as well.
Whoa!
I might start whacking off.
Thank you.
If that's what it takes, I mean, goddamn.
That is an award-winning fact.
Oh, is that a good thing?
What's the best supporting actress in a porn?
John, that was my question as well.
What makes you support and not the main?
Is it who gets the nut?
You know?
Usually we like to share.
It's a little thing called baby birding.
But oh, oh, God.
Hold on, hold on.
What is baby birding?
You know how birds eat food?
Yo, okay.
Tell Rick, he's got to step his game up a little bit if you don't know what baby birding is.
I don't know what baby bird is.
When a bird are you telling me when the bird can tell me herself, spit in my mouth and I'll show him.
Hold on, what is it?
What is baby birding?
It's when one girl catches the cum and then spits it in another girl's mouth.
Baby birding.
That really sets you off.
Oh my gosh.
That's not, that's just like fun.
Yeah, thank you.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
So like this is a little bit of a.
We have a divided table, people.
Okay, so the girl, the first girl gets the come, and then the other girl feels left out.
Right.
So there's like a socialist system where the reality is.
It's actually more like communism.
We share everything.
Everything equally.
Equally.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
It's too important.
So who started that?
Like Elizabeth Warren?
Who?
Oh, God.
She's the president.
No, I'm sure what you're saying.
That's what I mean.
To be honest, I have a lot of catching them.
The one thing I haven't kept up with lately is politics because it honestly just makes me fucking depressed.
And I just want to say that.
My brain already goes to a very dark place.
I have to take shrooms to deal with like addiction and trauma.
Oh, really?
Oh, yeah.
You microdose?
I microdose, but I also do like once a month.
I've done like ayahuasca and like I only fuck with plant medicine, but mostly I just, I really hate watching the news.
So things like that.
Like I know what's going on in China right now and things like that, but I'm not like, I don't know, I don't know like politicians by name necessarily.
Exactly.
So excuse me for not knowing who Elizabeth Warren is, but I will make sure to Google it.
Back to this.
So, okay, so this has been decided.
And don't get me wrong, your porn next level.
Cameras are way better.
There's actual cameramen that are holding the thing.
Rick has tripods and he holds his own.
Yeah.
But your work actually employs people.
Yeah.
In the economy, right?
There you go.
I'm going to move that.
No, this moves to you if you want.
Yeah.
Okay.
So here's the thing.
I have to admit, what Rick has authenticity, man.
Right.
He has this authenticity that like draws you in.
Like, and I'm going to be honest with you.
Oh, you air.
100%.
It's like you.
Flocking Phoenix Joker porn.
Dude, I will.
Don't ruin it for me.
I really want to see that.
It's so believable.
Like, even like, for example, if I saw you in a Rick porn, I wouldn't believe it.
No.
You're too attractive.
He has a level of girl.
Right, right.
It is like, it fluctuates from like six to like almost eight.
Like they're, they're, they're, if you went into a bar and you tried, you know that you'd probably make it.
Oh, more than that.
Right.
Wait for it.
They need them.
Every girl who's ever shot for Ricks is like, oh.
They need some funny fits.
They need it.
Okay, so I get what's going on.
He gets off on authenticity.
The desperation.
He's smelling.
He's called.
Authenticity.
You call it desperation.
Feed me, baby bird.
Feed me.
Oh, you six centimeter bitch.
Do you like it when they cry a little bit too?
Because that's totally my thing.
Like, get emotionally crying.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, wait.
Go on that one.
Oh my gosh.
There's like crying?
I'm just kidding.
I'm not that sick.
Come on, guys.
I wouldn't judge.
I'll just dude.
That's the best move.
Are you kidding?
Just a little bit right here to get authenticity.
Authentic.
Authenticity.
The human emotions.
Authentic.
No, but I will say, though, I get where you're coming from.
From my website, which I just bought back and we're gutting it right now and like putting a bunch of cool stuff on it.
I want to start shooting more POV, more like regular stuff that people can relate to.
Like the glamour porn is cool and stuff, but people typically like one, jerking off to POV.
And two, you know, the scenario that's like realistic.
I watch something glossy.
Yeah, too glossy.
Watch something because I was, dude, we get reached out, you know, by people in your field.
And I'll be honest with you, not every person I want to talk to because I don't know if every person has an interesting story.
You know about us from Lisa.
Oh, shut up.
Lisa, the best.
I'm watching through your Instagram.
I'm doing like a little Instagram research.
And there's two things that came to my doors.
One thing that I thought was funny, it was like a bet you had with some guy.
Haha.
The furry.
What was it?
It was a pant, was it a pan ahead?
Something like, and if like, if he won, then he, he had to do what?
Yeah.
So basically, one of my friends and I, we were filming some content and we found this panda head in his house.
And we were like, oh, well, instead of doing something boring, like, let's do some fun, like, game type thing.
So we played ping pong and I don't remember exactly how it worked, but basically I lost and then I had to fuck him with the panda head or like blow him or something like that.
And if I won, he was going to have to give me an hour foot rub.
See, we like to keep it interesting.
I was invested.
I love it.
But literally, it was back to the, it was back to like the authenticity thing.
I was like, wait a minute, like, okay, that's her friend.
Maybe they have this cool kind of sexual relationship.
But this is a real thing.
There's no guy with like handing a paycheck to someone at the end.
I'm kind of invested.
Right.
You guys are having fun with sex.
And I thought it was a little bit different.
So I was like, oh, this girl's maybe thinking about content in her field differently than the people in her field.
Yeah.
So we could have a fun combo, but then it turned into baby birds.
No, I've also done like, like, I had two of my guy friends come over and they're both performers.
And we were sitting there playing Mario Kart.
And I was like, guys, you want to shoot some?
And they're like, well, of course.
So I'm like, all right.
But they're not in the business.
No, they are.
Okay.
They are.
But we were all like, hey, like, we're sitting here playing video games.
You're all here.
If I lose, y'all get to tag team me.
Let's go.
You're going to have one coming because I don't want this.
And when you said, there it is.
I'm a little bit more taller.
I did not mean it that way.
I apologize.
Hashtag me too.
Can y'all do that?
I wasn't that like Lucas.
How does that work?
It's probably a category.
Oh my God.
It's more like a meme.
That's a new tab that I was looking for.
Me too.
That's bad.
Me too.
That's outrageous.
You know, somebody out there.
I'm taking notes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't lose.
I lost 10%.
That's all it is.
It's not that long of a note, to be honest.
Better share that better.
Okay, so back continue.
So you have these two guys that are, are they casuals?
Can we call them casuals or non-industry folk?
No, no, no.
They're not civilians.
That's what we call them.
Civilians.
No, no, no.
So their names are actually Ryan McClain and Lucas Frost.
So they're adult performers.
Got it.
But yeah, Lucas was actually my neighbor and then Ryan was just crashing at my house.
So we were like, oh, we're going to play video games and I needed something for my Snapchat.
So we ended up doing like a, like, we try to draw them in on the public Snapchat.
And then we'll do like, oh, like, this is what we're doing.
If I win, if they lose, blah, blah, blah.
And then you get to see the answer by signing up to my private Snapchat.
And this Snapchat hustle I've seen a lot of people do.
Is this the majority?
You okay?
I'm already breaking things.
It's all right.
Is this the majority?
That's the gif.
100%.
Is this the major money maker for porn stars now?
Honestly, yeah.
Like it's, I'm, I'm, it's frustrating because we don't, you know.
Because there's no middleman, I'm assuming.
Well, no, there's, it's not that there's no middleman.
It's that like now because of social media and because of the constant like people's attention spans are so short, you have to constantly stay relevant.
So it's a 24-7 job, which is fine because we also have the ability now with Snapchat, with OnlyFans, with your website, with all this stuff to constantly make that money and have that fan interaction and stuff.
But, you know, whereas girls back in the day, it was just like, oh, you had a shoot.
It came out on VHS, blah, blah, blah, bada bang, bada boom.
But like those girls, like the ones that are trying to make a comeback, it's very, very hard for them to understand kind of the way that it works now.
But it's a hustle.
It's a constant hustle.
Do you know who Sylvia Sage is?
Yes.
Yeah, she's dope.
She was great.
I didn't shoot with her, but I was on a set with her.
She's really cool.
As part of the same thing.
Cool girl.
Yeah.
She was great.
She got the different eyes, right?
Yes.
Yes.
So cute.
Oh, my God.
So we had her here and she said something interesting.
Said and she said that 80% of porn star income comes from escorting.
You know what?
I wouldn't say 80%, but it's funny.
We were actually just talking about this on Barkstool.
I'm very open about my past and things like that.
Any girl in the industry who says she hasn't been an escort is fucking lying.
I don't care about it.
Like at the end of the day, sex for money is.
I love it.
We spoke about it on the episode.
I'm sorry, though.
Like, it's angry.
Kaz is in the fucking industry.
Kaz is 10 minutes.
Like, anybody gives a fly.
I need to convince you because it's true.
You got some things you want to unlimit.
I was about to say, I'm curious about to describe baby burning cancer.
I'll take it from you.
I have to ask like that.
All right, go ahead.
I'm assuming you've been on the receiving end of this.
I'm just like, oh, you know.
I know a lot of people are listening.
I know I'm dancing.
You do it out.
I know many well-paying patrons.
I know people who partake in those escorting services.
In the services, giving and receiving.
How?
You know, just the more I hear about it.
Like, I have not, I haven't met an adult film star who has said that.
They haven't done it.
They do say Kaz has a lot of jobs.
A man of many talents.
They do say that.
They do say Kaz.
They do say that.
Okay, so you were saying.
So in your past, there's been times where it's presented.
Yeah, well, no, I mean, like, I'm very, and I, it's funny because my boyfriend wouldn't appreciate me talking like this, but he's not here, so it's fine.
We call it how it is.
When girls are like, I'm a dancer, I'm like, honey, you're a stripper.
I was a hooker at one point.
Cool.
I was a very high-paid hooker, but that's fine.
In Portland or in LA?
In LA.
So you moved from Portland to LA.
Yes.
Okay.
This is something that's quite interesting that you could shed some light on.
I heard Portland has more strip clubs than any other place in the world.
It's Portland and Tampa, right?
Struggles and Parental Assumptions00:09:55
Or something like that?
Tampa's wild, but Portland's different.
They have Portland has like El Diablo or something.
I'm like, wait, what?
No, I'm just interested.
Well, actually, you know what?
I'm not surprised in the slightest.
It is Portland.
Right.
Let's be real.
Portlandia is so spot on.
Like, can we meet the chicken?
Yeah, no, it's, it's bad.
I love my home state.
Don't get me wrong.
I think it's awesome.
But no, it's, it's definitely, there's like, dude, I want to say for every block, there's like four clubs.
Really?
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Why?
I have no idea.
I don't know why they need that many, honestly.
And there's like there's way too many roles at each one.
Like this, it's not awesome.
And you started there?
Yeah.
So you start dancing there 17.
That's why you're Wikipedia.
Oh, 16.
I moved out when I was 15, 16.
So I dancing at 16.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Now you're still cool with your folks, though.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Another thing I saw on your Instagram, you guys in a bonfire.
Those are the two things.
While I was on shrooms, yeah.
You were shrooming with your folks?
My parents were.
So my parents are super conservative Christian.
Okay.
But they're very.
But you know what?
Like they're very, my family's been through a lot.
I'm the youngest of seven.
They're very...
Yeah.
I was actually, I was born at home.
When I was born, like, my mom was like, they just pushed you out.
Yeah.
It was like, she was cooking dinner and it just, she was like, bag it, tag it, send it off.
You know, but basically, like, they're at a point now where like they, I don't know, they'd rather have a relationship with their kids than not.
So there's definitely things like they've accepted me being in the porn industry.
They've met my ex-fiancé who is 20 years older than me.
They've seen me go through hell and back and blah, blah, blah.
And basically what's what's important to them now is that I'm sober.
I'm in a good place, take care of myself.
And, you know, it's, it is what it is.
But I. Seems like the most Christian thing you could do.
Right.
Forgiveness exactly.
But when I explained to them my reasoning behind doing ayahuasca and messing with plant medicine and the fact that it has taken me away from, like, I have no triggers anymore.
I have no addictions anymore.
It's been really, really rewarding.
And just the level of gratitude and stuff that you feel like every single time you do, like, I used to fuck with acid, but it's just not the same thing.
Yeah.
That shit is, you got to be careful with those.
Plants only.
Plants only.
But yeah, it was really, it was actually a really, really cool experience.
Like, I asked my mom if I could do it at the house because I do it as like a meditative thing.
It's a whole thing.
I got my sage.
I got my music.
I got my blankie, you know.
But I was like, hey, like, do you want to hang out with me?
And she was like, yeah, of course.
I was like, you know, but no, I'm going to cry.
I might throw up.
I might talk to your plants.
I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen.
Did you see the demons and like fight them in the ayahuasca you were doing?
No, no, I did ayahuasca back in February.
But no, what you were talking about was the thing you saw on my Instagram was when we were doing the bonfire in the backyard.
Yeah, like my parents basically sat with me and hung out and like.
I didn't know you were high.
I thought you were just having family time.
And I was like, I need to meet this porn.
No, it was cool.
At one point, I was like helping my mom trim the bushes and she had pulled the scissors out and I started tripping it like, you know, because they come in and out like the visuals.
And I was like, whoa, like you're moving those scissors really fast.
I was like, calm down.
It was just funny.
Like it was a really good bonding experience with them.
Okay, so everything.
So you have this big rough patch in your life and now shit seems to be going pretty well.
It's going really well.
Does that scare you at all?
No.
If you change the perspective, you change the narrative.
I've definitely.
It's a bar.
Yeah.
Because sometimes like we get comfortable in chaos and then comfort, at least for me, I kind of find comfort in chaos.
And then when things start going well and everything's working out, there's only one place it can go.
Right.
So that becomes even more fearful.
Right.
But that's the fear-based thing.
You know, I mean, at the end of the day, like, if you can, we're all in control of everything.
Like, I've, I don't know.
It's once you pull yourself out of a victim mentality and like tell yourself that like, like, I feel like every morning doing your affirmations is really important.
Verbalizing things, writing things down, manifesting is a very real thing.
But that's why I feel like it's also very careful.
You have to be very careful what you put out into the universe.
You know, like I have a friend.
She's always like, oh, I'm such a stupid bitch.
And I'm like, call yourself a stupid bitch.
You'll be a stupid bitch.
You know, like just things like that.
So I feel like for so many years, because I was a victim of sexual abuse or different kinds of abuse or this or that or whatever, my struggle became my identity.
And that was something that I struggled with drugs and alcohol for a very long time.
And I struggled with letting other people sexually abuse me over the years because I was just like, oh, well, this is what happens to me or this is like how it is.
And I'm a pretty rational person.
So one day I woke up and I was just like, hmm, interesting.
You're fucking up your entire life because you're upset about something that someone else did to you instead of, you know, so I finally just pulled myself out of the victim mentality and said enough was enough and that I deserve better and blah, blah, blah.
And it's not that simple.
I struggle with sobriety for years.
Did you, is it frustrating that when people first see you, they probably assume that nothing bad has ever happened to you in your life based on the way that your face looks.
Right?
Like literally you see, you're like laughing, you're having fun, right?
And it's just like, oh, this girl hasn't struggled.
And then if you have, I'm sure the assumption is like, oh, she doesn't like her dad.
Right.
Right?
No, definitely.
There's a huge assumption.
That's a some shit, it seems like.
Yeah, I could write, I could write a book.
But you know what?
This is the thing is I. Yo, that laugh right there contained a lot.
That laugh right there.
Well, I fuck me.
At the end of the day, yeah, it's weird because even like the dude that I just started dating, like we were talking about it, he's struggled a lot with some things that have happened to him and he's a very positive, very well-functioning member of society.
And you wouldn't think by looking at him or his job or his life that he has struggled in the way that he has.
Same thing for me because I'm a very positive, happy person now.
But I mean, I feel like that's kind of what, I mean, okay, you're all comedians, right?
You've had some dark times.
You've learned to laugh about things, find the humor in it.
That's what makes you happy.
Akash, and I have talked about this for a long time.
Akash, I think, says it really beautifully.
He's like, this is a defense mechanism that we build up.
This is not like we're doing this because we want to have even more fun.
Right.
There's something happening.
Right.
And we need to build up defense for it.
We need to build up a coping mechanism for it.
So we learned how to, I guess, laugh and like make fun of these troubling times.
And you learned how to baby bird feed.
Yes, I did.
For me now, though, like it's funny because like I said, the guy I'm dating, like I'll laugh about certain things.
And he's like, babe, it's just strange that you can laugh about that.
And I was like, you know, honestly, I'm laughing about it because I took something from those experiences and I learned the lesson.
And now I can be like, oh, well, that's not going to happen again.
Or I learned the lesson from that.
So something good still came out of it.
And I still came out okay.
So I guess that's kind of why like for me, it used to be a defense mechanism, but now it's actually a place where I'm like, ha, look at how great my life is now.
Fuck, look where I've been.
You know?
What was the toughest part?
I think the hardest thing that I've struggled with my entire life was suicide and depression.
And because you like, when you can truly hate yourself to want to take your own life, that's a very dark function.
Hard place to go.
And it's, it's something I started, I struggled with at a very young age.
I started cutting at like 12 and kind of just struggled up until recently.
But when you've hated yourself that much and then you learn to love yourself just as much equally, like that's a really, really cool experience.
That's a really cool thing.
The cutting thing, what is, I've seen this before and I've read a little bit about it.
Is it a control thing?
Is it, what is, what does it provide?
I mean, it's kind of like to each their own.
For me, it was one of those things that like I would do if I felt nothing.
I would feel it.
I would do it if I felt too much.
I would do it just because it releases endorphins in your brain and it makes you think about something else.
You get high off of it.
I mean, yeah, there's multiple reasons.
Wow.
There's a thing I've noticed with a lot of people in entertainment, right?
And it's like outside of past or whatever, but there's an extreme sensitivity that I've noticed.
And I think oftentimes with all of us, the assumption is that nothing affects us.
We on this show will say the meanest fucking jokes about each other all day.
Right.
And maybe it's because we have a camaraderie, et cetera, that we can build up.
But I would be lying if I didn't think, if I said that I wasn't a very sensitive person, like in terms of how I feel the world, you know, I think that is like the root to a lot of the suffering, you know, because sometimes when you really feel shit and you don't have a coping mechanism for feeling, then you start thinking about what is it?
Is it drugs?
Is it acting out?
Is it, how do I handle this, this anxiety?
I don't know how to talk to my friends or family because they don't feel shit in the way I feel.
And it becomes like, you know, I feel like at least for myself, I'm like really fucking lucky.
I could just like word vomit on my parents or, you know, or like go on stage and make that.
But that's not.
That's an outlet.
Yeah.
You need some fucking, I can't bottle.
There's also a sense of validation too.
I think a lot of people who get in entertainment because we do feel a lot and I think that we're own, we're our own worst critics, we need that validation from our audience.
We need that.
You're doing this show.
Like when I was at my worst, like the best thing that I could have done was come here and just like talk about shit and just like having people that listen to it come back and be like, yeah, like, you know, I've been there before or just like any sort of validation where like you don't feel like you're all by yourself when you're suffering the most.
Seeking Fame and Validation00:02:15
Because that's the worst thing about it.
Like no matter how bad you can feel, the worst feeling is feeling like you're the only one going through it.
The sheer idea of seeking fame is.
I want other people to admire me because I don't feel it myself yet.
So maybe if I can get you guys to do it, I'll believe it myself.
Like I don't think it's, I don't like, don't think it's possible to want to be famous and not have some kind of void you're trying to fill.
Yes.
And it's interesting because we like, we'll often look at, there'll be certain comics who like actually don't seek fame or certain people in entertainment who don't want to be famous.
And I think a lot of people in entertainment look at them like, well, what's wrong with it?
Do they not want it enough?
I do, yeah.
But in a lot of ways, it's like they don't need it.
Yeah.
They actually won.
Yeah.
Right.
Because nobody has achieved fame and been like, all right, I got it.
Got what I'm looking for.
There's always another result.
It's always a fucking letdown.
It's like if you become the most famous porn star, you're like, well, I'm not the most famous actress.
You become the most famous actress.
You're like, well, I'm not the most famous politician.
There's always the highest paid.
There's always something else.
I mean, that's what drives you.
It's what drives you in anything, whether you're an athlete or a comedian, porn star, whatever.
Like the form of like, when a lot of your justification comes from people validating you, there's never enough.
Yo, greatness comes from the void.
It's hard to have greatness without that void.
Michael Jordan is the unhappy person.
Michael Jordan is a miserable motherfucker because there's always something else he feels like he needs to prove to somebody.
Christopher Columbus.
Yeah.
What?
We're destroying out here.
My guy must have been miserable, bro, to just get on a boat and go the other way.
He's like, fuck, this is America.
How fucking bad it must have been?
How horribly depressed he must have been.
Yo, he made it to India.
He's sailing that way.
He's like, we going that way.
We gonna find these Indians, bro.
Yo.
Oh, man.
Because it's Columbus Day, by the way.
For everybody listening, we're recording.
Today's Columbus Day.
And you haven't been on Twitter and seeing white people upstairs.
I don't.
I don't.
No.
But.
I can tell about a street fair downstairs.
I'm like, oh, people aren't working.
Yeah.
I was going to say Alex.
Why's I work today?
Because my Uber had to go like...
And then I had to finally walk.
And I was about to text you and be like, yo, Andrew, thanks for being a dickhead and not telling me.
And all the streets are shitting.
Alexander told you.
Yo, Alex told me.
I fucked up.
Mac Weldon Docking Stories00:15:28
That's all.
We were right by Wall Street.
Nobody's working today.
So it's just whatever.
But yeah, so yeah, that Columbus, I was having some thoughts.
I was ruminating on Columbus on the Uber drive here.
And my takeaway for Columbus is that not a fan of the actions, but fan of the results.
Yo, that's solid.
We got America.
Context, context.
Meaning, like...
We got America.
We got Latin women.
Like, there's so many things that we would never have.
We got Alex.
Alex, you are Puerto Rican.
You are a direct descendant of what Christopher Columbus did.
Right?
Wow.
Like, before Christopher Columbus, it was just native American.
It was just Eden looking people on Puerto Rico.
Just look at that.
Step up.
Yo.
Hey, assholes.
The audio cut off suspiciously right when Akash was joking on Ed and not pointing any fingers.
But no worries.
You didn't miss a thing.
Now back to the show.
You were saying when you pull up a little bit more, there we go.
Hi, hi.
No, I was saying the best handshake in the world, which I was.
We got cut off on the Columbus thing.
Oh, yeah, we did.
We did.
And then we got on.
Fan of the results, not fan of the moment.
We're fan of the results, not the action.
The Michael Jackson thing, like Joe Jackson was horrible dad, but then ended up Roy Jones Jr., horrible dad, but then we get Roy Jones Jr.
So we're not a fan of the results.
Horrible dad, then we get Lindsey Lowe.
Nah.
Nah, easy.
Let's not watch that train rack.
I don't want the Lindsey shame.
I'm here for help.
We want to be incredible.
All right, Jesso, we're going to take a break for a second.
We got to pay some bills.
Now, guys, remember the days.
Do you guys remember the days when your underwear wall is all stretched out?
Trash.
Dick falling down the leg, maybe falling out the hole in the beginning.
Rough problems.
Rough problems.
There's a lot of terrible underwear out there.
Horrible underwear out there.
How do we solve this?
How?

You like to dap.
Yeah.
Okay.
What's it called?
DAP?
DAP.
DAP.
Okay, okay.
But I'm going to share with you.
You're going to like this one.
Okay.
Go like this.
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Milk it.
Okay.
All right.
What is that?
I don't know, babe.
Are you milking the bumps?
So that's the handshake?
Oh.
Let me tell you something.
If I was to go to the bottom of the breast, that's the end of a friendship right there.
Yeah, he's just like you touching them.
This is a fucking handshake.
You're the only person that can get a bunch of people.
No, no, no, no.
Try that.
Try that, fellas.
No, fuck the bubbles.
I'm about to reach over you.
I was like, this is fucking food.
I also agree that's a good handshake.
He's in agreeance with a lot of things today.
I love it.
I love it.
I can find the positive in anything.
Yes.
Shit.
Okay.
That's what I was saying with Columbus Day.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Michael Jackson.
Son, if we're being real, Joe didn't just give us Mike.
Joe gave us the Jackson father.
Did you have five?
You know, it's been here, bro.
Father of the century.
Dude, who for his family?
All he had to do was just not pull out.
And like, you know, he was probably beat him up a little bit.
No, he's being a mom.
And the mom.
I don't know.
I assume.
Miss Jackson.
There was more than one mom.
Sorry, Miss Jackson.
That's something he never said.
That's true.
That's true.
Oh, man.
Now he whooped the ass.
He whooped the ass is a success, though.
That's right.
So there is some.
There's means to an end.
Always.
Success in touch with trials and tribulations.
They often lend you to great success.
Here you are, went through some serious trials and tribulations.
I'm going to bring this down so it doesn't block your face, right?
We want people to see your face.
And now you're having this success.
You're having this positive time in your life.
You have a boyfriend.
Things are going well.
How's that like?
How'd y'all meet?
Instagram.
Like we all meet.
Son, slide in the DM.
Slide it into the DMs.
Wow, you're going to get a lot of followers today.
Greatest movie.
Whoa.
All I get in my DMs.
Yeah, is he blue check?
Is he blue check or not?
See, this is you.
This is why Instagram doesn't do any commercials.
This is all you need to do.
Right?
I have dated celebrities.
I've dated guys in the industry.
I've dated civilians.
I've dated, but like, I personally don't like dating people who have, I don't know.
It's just people of fame.
Yeah, it's just an emotional idea.
Yeah.
Like, you're not into it.
Yeah, no, he's a boxer, personal trainer for like the Giants, Cindy Crawford, people like that.
Like, he's very good at what he does.
He's a health coach.
So it's nice.
He is so confident that he can allow other people to have.
You know what's harder?
It's not the sex as much as the blowjobs.
That would really fucking bother me.
I really hope he doesn't hear this.
Yo, he's listening.
Now tell your girl.
All three of our girlfriends are listening.
Listening.
Let me tell you.
Hi, girls.
We've been on good behavior, haven't we?
She put it right here.
Shipping her right here.
I was in the doghouse for two weeks after Sylvia came here.
God damn it.
I was like, oh, God.
I kinda like, I didn't get milked.
You don't disrespect the cows like that, bro.
You don't need them vegan over here.
Now you're calling her a heaven.
No, he's Indian.
They love cows.
So let me ask you something.
I just got out the doghouse with his girl.
I would never.
I'm going back.
Using it for months, bro.
I almost wasn't invited to the wedding.
Yeah.
I know.
Now I'm good.
Grossman.
I'm a Grosman.
Oh, no.
There you go.
Yes.
That was a little watch.
That was uncomfortable, bro.
I ain't like it at all.
Jesse just made us gay, dog.
How did that happen?
Yo, how did Jesse just take us gay?
I got to tap the list.
I got to keep myself.
That was some sword fighting.
That was some docking shit.
Dude, I know.
What'd you call it?
What is docking?
You don't know.
Well, I guess you wouldn't know if you're straight, but docking is when the guys put like their, like, if one of them's circumcised and one's not, they put their dick.
What the fuck?
Yeah, I just fucked your world up.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
This girl has done too much in porn.
I just get back on the basics.
I don't want to do it.
I'm dating San Antonio Spurs porn.
I don't want this fancy West Coast offense that dicks lodging inside all the dicks.
This is hard porn.
What is this?
Like a linking together like the fucking megaza and Power Rangers.
Snowballing.
What snowballing?
So now I'm the only one who knows.
Okay, Eden, we're curious.
What's snowballing?
What's snowballing?
That's what his family would talk about before they came to America.
Apparently.
But it's when you nut in a girl's mouth and then they spit it right back in your mouth.
Oh, and then you guys kiss.
Yes, yes.
I've heard about that.
And I've heard of Blumpkin.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know what Blumpkin.
Oh, now we have limits.
Is that what's going on?
Now you're judging me.
I'm sorry, but anything involving defecation, I'm out.
Okay.
What's up, Blumpkin is you're taking a shit and then you get hit, which is also called the best ever.
That's also gross.
It's gross for you.
Yeah.
But for us, it's like, this is the thing about it's an ultimate release.
Yeah, no, no, no.
It's like this.
It's like this.
Like, for example, like, you know, like hooking up with like sisters, right?
Yeah.
That's incest just for them.
Right.
That's that incest.
That's on y'all.
It's like y'all are trying to handle that.
And I'm normal.
You're purely theoretical about this.
You know how you're on your phone and you take a shit because you're like, oh, this is kind of fun.
You know what's way more fun?
Getting a dick so real.
Wait, you never got your pussy while you took a shit?
No, I usually use that time to like.
Honestly, that's too far.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, now we have limits.
Gross, yo.
Yo, you're right.
Let me jerk off your face.
Stop that shit.
God damn it.
Stop kick off your mouth on me, bro.
No, no, I gotta get the punishment.
I need a punishment for that.
I'm too tired for this shit.
Can you that shit out?
I can't.
I can't.
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
Why did we get to this?
You brought up.
What?
No, no.
No, you brought up.
She was talking about her boyfriend.
Oh, talking about her.
Oh, your boyfriend.
Yes.
Okay, so your boyfriend.
Your boyfriend is docking.
No, your boyfriend is so comfortable.
You better get up on your LKO.
Get up at this table.
Say it.
Jessa!
You're about to call some proper paradise.
You're not going to call some hard paradise.
What is happening?
Oh, God.
Okay.
All right.
So you're still going to honestly single.
I'm about to be single.
I gave out the slowest no, but I was just like, whatever.
It's too late.
It's too late.
Oh, incredible.
Oh, God.
So he's so confident.
I'm laughing so hard.
I think I actually pitched a nerve.
Yes, dude.
It hurts so much.
So confident he's willing to put up with that other stuff.
Or do you now do you have that same relationship with him?
Can he do what you're doing?
Yeah, well, I told him that that was the case.
Like when, I mean, like I said, this is all still brand new.
Like, we've been talking for a little bit, but like we just started dating.
So, I mean, I told him I was like, I'm all about equality.
So if I'm doing it, you should be able to do it too.
But he said that that's just not how he is and that's not how he feels.
So that's, I like that personally.
But no, we've come up with a plan.
And I mean, there's certain scenes, obviously, that I will and will not shoot out of respect.
I'm like, I'm not going to do gangbangs or anything like that.
You know, like, I don't want to shoot scenes where like he's would see me being disrespected by any means.
So you have to be kind of in control.
Respectful porn.
There's a popular category.
Listen.
That's what Half Opaz gets off on.
Nice, good, respectable porn, man.
But no, on a serious note, though, like, he actually really is that confident and he's very understanding.
So I'm very, very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who doesn't ask me to change everything about myself.
One of my good friends used to date an adult film star.
And I used to ask him, like, yo, how do you deal with that with her?
And one time, he was like, yo, one time she just FaceTimed me while it was on location and she didn't realize just how much of a job it really is.
Yeah.
It's not sex at all.
It's literally like watching fucking there's a guy on the megaphone.
There's like a million people with lighting and all of a sudden it's just, it doesn't, it's not intimate.
I mean, we go in, we fill out our paperwork, we shoot the scene and then we high five and we go home.
Like it's very industrial.
Yeah, it's very professional.
Unless you're shooting for Rick.
You know, it's very professional.
I admit you're gonna learn up.
You have to now.
You're gonna lick him up.
Dude, I give that guy so much.
The whole vein thing kind of freaks me out a little bit.
Like, is it like an angry, like when I laugh too hard or if I get drunk, like the angry photo that pops up, I'm like, I don't want to see my face in a guy's dick.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't want that reflection image.
I'm like, nah.
It's funny.
I do want to see your face.
That's what we're paying for.
I set myself up on that one.
Anybody?
Anybody?
No.
No, Jessa.
No, you get me in trouble.
We're going to just.
We're going to do the rest of the interview.
I think we need to talk to your boyfriend one of these days and just share that perspective.
Yeah.
Is he comfortable?
Call him up.
What do you mean?
Oh, my God.
Call him up.
Oh, my God.
And just put him on speaker.
Quick conversation.
Okay, hold on.
Oh, you better answer on the first ring, too.
I'm so curious.
Hold on.
Ask him first.
No, don't, don't.
Don't ruin the fun of a courtesy text.
Just call him up.
Just call him up.
I mean, let's be honest: there's one thing we know about this guy, he's forgiving.
Tell them too much.
Okay, hold on.
Let me ask him first.
Oh, come on.
You know what sucks is I had to put my phone on speaker because it's broken.
You can't just regular phone it?
Yo, that's wild.
Oh, God.
Come on, son.
Come on, no roof.
Hey, baby.
Hey, babe.
I have a question.
Am I alive?
Yeah.
Yes!
Oh, fuck.
Fucking fumble there.
All right.
Hello.
We won't say your name.
Oh, can we say your name?
That's fine.
Eric, we cool using your name, Eric?
Sure, sure.
Keep it on the first name basis.
Almond Nyes, 59.
I love him already.
Okay.
All right, Eric.
Okay, so we want to call you because the three of us are all in relationships, okay?
We need to understand where this is.
It's not easy, my man.
Okay.
I heard the struggle.
No, no.
In his voice, I heard it.
Talk to us around the feet.
It's not easy, my man.
We need to know.
Okay.
Because I'll be getting upset when my girl mentions guys that she's been with before me.
Say again?
I get upset when my girl mentions guys that she's been with before me.
Yeah.
You know, like in high school.
Dating Past Relationships00:06:58
I'd be like, why'd you need to do that?
My girl is not allowed to laugh at other dudes.
Real talk?
Real talk.
That's cheating.
So, yeah, so jokes.
So how do you do it?
How do you, where does this confidence come from?
What is the coping process?
Please explain.
Oh, boy.
There's two parts to this.
Okay.
It's two parts.
One, you're in the room with her, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, she's right here.
There's the answer right there.
Ah, this fucking guy.
This fucking guy.
All right, now tell us part of it.
I like that.
I like that.
And part two, it's like you gotta control what you can control.
You know what I mean?
There's a few things like, don't mention any guys in my apartment.
You know, want to talk about it when we're walking to grab a bike to eat, fine.
But it's just like, I mean, I grew up in Brooklyn.
I've, you know, I'm a bit of a connoisseur in this field myself, but not to that extent.
Right.
However, however, you just kind of, you got to go with it.
But trust me on this, I shit the bed the first like three to five times.
Oh, what happened?
Don't worry about what happened.
It takes a little bit to like get comfortable, get the confidence going, keeping her smiling.
You know?
How do you keep you smiling?
Let me rephrase the question.
I don't think he understands what you're asking.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
So he's talking like physically, like he shit the bed through.
He's asking, babe, they want to know what it's like dating a performer.
Hold on.
Hold on one second, Eric.
Kaz really thought when you said you shit the bed that you actually took the shit in the middle.
Literally, I mean, in the sense of measuring motherfuckers.
Oh, yeah.
He said, like, I was sexually disappointing is what he said.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
I'm talking about pumpkins.
Nothing was disappointing.
No, nothing was disappointing.
So you put your mouth in that corner over there.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you want that, bro?
You got it, bro.
You got it.
Bitched me up from across the phone line.
I'm like, man, Eric, we need you on the podcast.
We've got to come in one time, the both of you.
Okay, but to your end, to answer your question, it's just a matter of like, yeah, this is what she does.
There's a whole side of that.
But then aside from that, there's actually, you know, the person that no one else sees.
And then, you know, you start to fall for that and you go down that road.
And it's just like, like anything else, you're dating someone that has been with a lot of people and you kind of know about it.
Like maybe that girl in high school or college.
But, you know, there's them and then there's us.
You know what I mean?
So it doesn't matter.
You can compartmentalize, in other words.
Yeah.
There's killers.
You build pillars, you know, with time and experience.
And then that's your foundation.
And then, you know, whatever.
The rest of them doesn't really matter.
Man, Eric, we appreciate you, bro.
Yeah, no problem.
Thank you.
Stand up guy, Eric.
We fuck with you, bro.
Take care, guys.
Be good, man.
No, we're good.
We're good.
Peace.
All right, baby.
I'll call you when I'm done.
It's like the Greg Popovich of dating porn stories.
You control, you control.
He got killers.
Play the game the right way.
Now, oh, fuck.
I wish I got to ask him this.
Now it just came to me.
Does he watch the porn that you do?
Well, he admitted to me, like when we first got together, I was like, don't watch it because that'll just fuck with my head.
Yes.
Because it creates, because I don't fuck that way.
Like, I hate to break it to you, guys, but like, we fuck a little bit more wildly than we normally do because of the fact that you're not physically there.
Like, we have to amp it up a little bit for the viewer.
So to me, that puts like an expectation on me to be like, oh, my God, is he, if he's watching my scenes, is he going to expect me to do this or that or whatever and be this character?
And so I asked him not to, and he was like, yeah, yeah, of course.
And then like a couple weeks later, he was like, babe, I'm just going to let you know.
Like, since you told me that, I don't, but kind of did a few times before we met.
And I was like, that's fine.
That's different.
Just don't do it now.
Is there ever a moment where like you slip up, like you come home from work and you're like, ah, I'm a little sore or whatever.
And then he's like, well, I mean, on the job in Vegas work.
Go to his house after a scene.
I'd be like, no, I mean, he lives here in Chelsea, but I live in Vegas.
So the long distancing actually works for both of us because we're not upping each other's shit.
That's what I was saying.
How rich this dude got to be to be straight and live in Chelsea.
Everyone keeps saying that.
They're like, oh, he's straight and he lives in Chelsea.
I'm like, I don't know this shit, you know?
No, like I said, he does well and he's really, really motivated.
And he's, you know, constantly busy, as am I.
So it's good.
It keeps it going.
100%.
100%.
Listen.
Yeah, it does take a lot of confidence.
I give it to any.
And he knows I'm also very understanding.
Like, we had a really good talk last night.
And I was like, just, you know, like, I have empathy for where you're coming from.
Like, there's certain things that I definitely, I don't know if I would be able to handle or deal with.
So if there's a time where you need to talk about something, like, be open about it.
I'm totally okay with, you know, not coddling you, but like being like, there for you as to, you know, if you're sensitive about something, like, that's, you know, you don't have to be a man about it.
Like, it's fine.
Because that shit just breaks you.
It can, yeah.
Meaning, like, if you just hold it in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alex, you said you were.
Is he allowed to sleep with other people?
Yeah, I told you.
We did that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
He told me how.
He doesn't, but he's backing off over there.
Exactly.
But yeah, it's funny that every Girl that I know that has given their boyfriend permission to sleep around.
The reaction is like uniformly, well, I don't want to do it.
Don't do it.
There is something to this idea of like when you say we can't, you create a forbidden fruit.
And when you say we can, like, we're really dogs in a lot of ways.
Like, as long as the leash goes, we're going.
Right.
Right?
Like, you never have one of those leashes that extends.
The dog goes to the end of the fucking leash.
If it was five feet, he'll be there.
Right.
30 feet, he'll be there.
So there is something.
I don't know.
There is something about that.
There's a risk.
For me personally, like I've, I've always been like that since I was in the industry, just because I feel like across the board, there needs to be equality.
So if I'm doing something, then that means you should be able to do it.
If you're okay with me doing it, I should be okay with you doing it.
And then, you know, if the narrative changes, then it changes.
But no, I do appreciate the fact that because we're emotionally connected and we're bonded, that he's like, well, I don't want to sleep with anybody else.
Like, that's nice because I'm not emotionally connected to those people and I'm not sleeping with them for, I mean, of course, don't get me wrong, it's pleasurable, but it's also a job.
Like it's a very professional career.
It's, you know, there's things that we've talked about and like the exit strategy and things like that.
It's always going to be there as long as y'all are together.
Like if he's like a couple years in, the honeymoon phase is over.
He's like, yo, I know we bonded, but like.
Leash Limits and Terror00:09:08
Yeah.
I mean, and honestly, like, I love women, so we've talked about threesomes at some point.
He hasn't cashed in on that either.
Well, we just started dating.
Like, this is all new.
Yeah, that's it.
That's why I was like, he and your phone has minds.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you best believe that's mine.
Mine.
This, this is mine.
He can do whatever with that.
Ah.
I hear that.
I don't know what that was, but that sounded like the right thing to do.
This is mine.
I got real intense, so I just, okay.
Oh, oh, oh, your heart.
Yeah.
As long as I know I have that, he can do whatever with his dick.
I'm here.
Absolutely.
Now, the side bitch better be leaving the house out the window before I'm home.
That's all I'm going to say.
Out the window.
She can't go.
Nope.
She don't get the front door.
My manager.
I like these rules.
Alex is on the 30th floor, dog.

That was fun.
I had a lot of fun.
I had a lot of fun.
Good interview.
Yeah, she's great.
Good people.
We were just talking during the break about this, but good energy.
Like, female energy, if it's the right female energy, always brings the best out of the show.
It really does.
Always brings the best show.
But we need specific type guests.
There's a balance because it's so extra machismo testosterone in here.
Yeah.
She's not so much of a fucking like tight ass that it's just enough.
Yeah.
I love it.
It is a great balance.
If it's the right type of girl, if it's someone who's like complaining about shit and like, how could you say that?
Nah, we're not going to.
But that's real talk.
Like, that's the ideal flagrant sue.
Lady asshole.
Lady asshole.
That's a lady asshole.
That type of personality, that type of vibe is the ideal.
That type of look.
That's a look.
That was about it, bro.
That was about it.
He goes, he just now goes, immediately upon the podcast video.
He's like, what's your background?
What's your ethnicity?
I don't find any sort of brown country in there.
He was like, Norway.
That's the whitest of the white.
Guys, shall we start with a little flagrant thought of the week?
We got some flagrant thoughts.
Oh, my gosh.
Any flagrant thoughts?
I miss terror alerts.
Terror alerts.
Terror alerts.
Remember back in the day, like fresh off of like 9-11 when like when they gave us the color shit.
They'd be like, yo, it's a level orange tonight.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Be on the lookout.
And then you could be late for work.
I'd just be like, oh, man.
There was terror out there.
Shit was wild out here, yo.
Like, it's yellow.
Yeah, you tweeted this, and immediately people were tweeting us.
That should have been my flagrant, though.
This is how much Kaz is late to work.
This is how much Kaz wants to be late to the podcast.
He wants to bring back terrorism.
He cannot bring back terrorism.
Damn, I'm losing out on my excuses.
That has never forgot.
I was told never forget.
God damn it.
No, just like Andrew said, about terrorism.
I don't like the act.
I like how the end result.
Look at the scale.
It just gets more and more Middle Eastern looking as it goes.
Like low terrorist green.
Ain't nobody green.
Oh, blue.
Oh, that yellow, that brown, that high risk of terror attack.
Every night you would watch the news and they'd fucking scare this shit out.
She'd be like, it's the highest it's been since right before 9-11.
Make sure you're on the lookout for anything on a train or the bus or whatever.
I would not go to work.
You would just dip.
I would just not go.
I'd be like, oh, it's too fresh.
I'm good.
I'm super good.
Anthrax and shit.
Like, Anthony wasn't cool with that.
Do you think that the terrorists were targeting the advertising agency you were working at?
Well, translation.
Yeah, the minority advertising agency.
One booty.
We picked on the freedom tower.
No.
Black and Puerto Rican marketing agencies.
It needs to go.
We must prevent Made in America Festival.
Title.
That's what you want to do.
All right.
God damn.
You must stop the title.
Not another Jay-Z album.
What about you, Arcanine?
I don't think I had one this week, man.
I had two last week, and then I was like, I'll get another one.
And then I just didn't.
I couldn't really think of anything.
Except Minneapolis sucks.
That's all I can say.
Oh, Minneapolis is an awful place.
Horrible place.
Why, what happened?
I thought everybody said the show was good.
The people who reached out to me were dope.
Shows were dope.
But in terms of just like what to do in the city, it's fucking nothing, yo.
There's a mall.
It's a mall.
That shit can be done in five years because of Amazon.
It's actually really sad, man.
The biggest mall in America is there, yeah.
Mall of America.
Mall of America.
And it is massive, dude.
Oh, it's a big one.
There's a hotel in it.
Did you go?
Yeah, I went.
Yeah.
It's pretty fascinating when you see it.
Well, here's the thing.
I was just like...
Theme park?
There's like a little theme park in there.
For somehow, in my mind, I thought it would be bigger, I guess, because Texas got big malls.
So I thought this would be like crazy.
But then there's like stores on multiple levels.
Like Victoria's Secret, there's like three stores.
And they're not like a three-story store.
It'd be like different, three different stores.
And I think it's because nobody else can pay the rent.
So they're like, all right, we'll just get another.
So what are they saying?
I asked about men, women, and trans?
So this is how big it is, right?
The mall, because when I would, there's a comedy club in the mall, right?
Yes.
The Rick Bronsons or something like that.
And that's the one I used to do.
And so when I was there, I'd need like something to fucking just to like keep me busy.
So try to do the whole mall.
Like literally walk the entire mall.
And that's an exercise that old people do there.
And I think they do another place.
They did.
I was just like, yeah, I need something.
So they have a bunch of Victoria Cities, a bunch of foot lockers and that kind of shit.
The mall has like neighborhoods.
So people just go to one part of the mall.
Weird.
Was there like apartments there?
Like people live there?
Well, they live around it, I think.
Like if you're a mall walker, like I'll walk this part today.
If you know that they're just going to be in that place getting this, that, the other, and getting food, you've got to put your foot locker there because they're not going to want to walk all the way to the other part of the mall.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I might have not seen the whole mall, to be honest.
All shows were dope.
Bob D was the worst fucking tour guide I ever had in my life.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
First of all, this guy took me Somali food, which is dope, but that's it.
After that, he's like, I got nothing for you.
He gave me like an arcade, and I was like, son, I'm 35.
Beatles Songs and Mall Walks00:11:30
I'll do young.
I'll be only 23 or some shit like that.
So he took you to do young people shit.
But that was all he knew.
When we were in the mall, he was like, yo, I don't be coming here, man.
I was like, you grew up here.
But I'm in the Uber on the way to the hotel.
I'm like, yo, what's good?
Like, Minnesota food.
I'm here.
What should I eat?
I always like to eat like the shit that people recommend.
He was like, where are you staying?
I was like, you know, this place downtown.
He was like, oh, there's a hibachi place across the street.
I was like, motherfucker, you think I came here from?
You haven't even got fucking Japanese people.
I eat hibachi here.
And he was like, yeah, it's like a.
Were you in Minneapolis?
Yeah, Minneapolis.
Do you see any Prince shit down there?
Nothing?
I didn't go to that house.
I've seen like too much.
I only had one day there.
Or the club?
Nah, it was the...
This house is like a fucking thing.
It's like a national museum.
Apparently, he never wanted.
He was like, do not do this to my mother.
He doesn't like any of that shit.
That's why he didn't put his shit on streaming services.
That's why he didn't do a lot of shit.
He was very anti-like commercialism.
Right.
Whatever.
Because for one, like more than half of his career, he was getting fucking fucked over by his label.
That's why he wrote like slave on his fucking pastor and the Grammys and all that shit.
That's why he changed his name to a symbol.
Like he was super anti-commercialism, all about the art, all that type of shit.
So anything that he felt like commercialized what his music was, outside of just like, hey, just buy the record, he was kind of against.
I'm over it.
Interesting.
Yeah, I never knew.
I wasn't the biggest Prince fan.
Like, I like songs, but I never vibe to Prince.
He's super probably the most talented person.
I always hear that, and I just didn't give it a real shot.
I also didn't do that to beat the Beatles, so I just don't know.
Well, the Beatles are trash.
The Beatles are trash, dog.
Come on, bro.
The Beatles are trash.
Let's be honest, dude.
What?
Listen, come on.
I respect the stats.
You like Wale numbers.
Wale's great.
New album.
You keep it.
Wow, that's crazy.
Great album.
Don't buy them.
I'm fire.
Thank you.
I like the thank you.
My point is, my point is.
Say what?
I said he's bugging.
No, the Beatles are fine.
The Beatles are five.
My point is, if you can say, whenever you purposely listen to a song by the Beatles, son, whenever you sing yesterday right now, sing it.
Yesterday.
Oh, my troubles see it so far away.
Such slaps, son.
How do you back that?
Wack.
Now sing a Wale song.
Look my no hands.
I said, look my no hands.
Seriously better than the fucking Beatles.
What's your name?
Not here.
Not BC should have rip all day.
And my album's all my hands.
One beep, we can take it outside.
Hey, don't blot your mind.
That's your weeds.
Sweat no bitches.
Sweat out weeds.
We're almost done.
Let me get back to it.
Little back wood.
Something that got good.
Put on a train little engine.
Could have been a bitch.
Bitch, yeah.
Way better than the fucking Beatles.
This song ain't even his.
Fuck you.
Beatles ain't do no features, fam.
God damn it.
Beatles ain't do no features.
Wow, that's crazy.
Go get the album and stream it down a little bit.
No, no, I'm just respect to Wale.
Respect to Wale.
But in all seriousness, Beatles, Beatles, a great band.
You can't even deny that.
I mean, like, they got the numbers to prove it.
They got the numbers.
They got more hits than Prince.
No, but hit records.
I can't use it.
He's a better artist.
Without a doubt.
But sometimes what happens is the best technical person isn't the most successful artist because you got to come at a time and place.
True.
You know what I mean?
Like, they're all those dudes that write all the albums.
You know, they write all the songs for Beyonce and all these pop stars.
But some people don't have the whole thing.
They can't write their own shit.
Yeah.
Exactly.
The Beatles had the right thing for the right time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I get it.
Like, I get the popularity.
Like, I understand why they were big shit.
But like, to say, I mean, oh, it's Prince, motherfucker.
Purple Rain.
You kidding me?
Same.
Abalonia.
Little Red Corvette.
I think throw every word.
Yo, range everybody.
There's one song that could fuck with imagine.
No, no, no.
Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
Come on, son.
Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
And then that shit goes downhill.
Yeah, that's all you need.
That starts at Purple Rain, Purple Rain.
And that's all you need.
Beautiful.
Yes, you do, you lying ass motherfucker.
This guy's talking to ugly bitches, trying to build them up.
That's what happens when you live in Minnesota.
Motherfucker wrote that whole album in Minnesota.
He was the first Beyonce.
He was speaking to all the ugly bitches.
Real talk.
Yo, he just made a lemonade, bro.
That's what Purple Rain was.
I just got a different color drink.
Yo, we really figured out Prince.
We figured out Prince.
Son, Beatles.
What's the hottest Beatles song?
What's the one?
To me, it's lemonade, but it's lemonade.
I mean, I'm sorry, sorry.
Yesterday.
But then that cherry something with that.
Don't raise your song.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Okay.
Wait a minute.
That's just look my no hands slow down.
Look my big one.
I said look my no hands and no shorty.
I don't dance.
I'm with Roscoe.
I'm with Flaka.
And something.
Yo, that's the same song.
They stole that from the Beatles.
Wale's hit.
Yeah, until Wale has a movie made about him where some Indian who rewrites all his songs.
I don't know.
Here's the thing, though.
I don't think that's terribly accurate.
What'd you mean?
Like, if nobody ever heard the Beatles and we just, what, it's 2019 and somebody just decided to sing all the Beatles songs we've never heard before, it's really going to slap like that.
I mean, they got bigger.
Really?
They got in 2019.
You know how I know this for a fact?
When countries that don't have stand-ups start stand-up scenes.
And the worst ones.
Not, they just take the most famous American stand-up acts and translate their jokes and then they immediately have fans, they have success, and they pop off.
So if you just took the Beatles shit, same thing applies.
How'd that movie end?
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it either.
He had a white girlfriend I ain't watching.
Oh, God.
All right, so I got a flavored take, but it's more like a flavor confession.
Oh, boy.
What's up?
So ever since Instagram took away the activity tab.
Bro.
Oh, shit.
Son, my fingers hurt from all the likes that I picked.
Son, been letting them likes fall.
Fly.
Okay, here's the thing.
This is where you got to be careful.
This is what I figured out.
What's up?
It don't show the likes no more.
It don't show when you like people.
And this is for anybody who's listening.
Instagram took away the activity tab so the people that follow you can't see what you like or who you follow, that kind of stuff.
But if you and let's say your girl follow the same person and you like that pick, they'll see your shit liked it.
Liked by Alex Media.
Bye.
That's the first thing I'll say.
The first thing I check is mutual follows.
If there's no mutual follows, like no, see, here's the jig.
Here's the jig, right?
I've seen a more single guy act more like you're in a relationship.
That's what I'm saying.
Like, who is this?
There's like five girls that don't think he's the same shit.
But the jig is it's not a mutual followers thing.
Yeah.
There's like followed by.
So you'll see if they're following you, but you can't see like if you're following the same person.
Like say like Akash, it'll show me the people that follow Akash, but it won't show me me and Akash following the same folks.
You understand what I'm saying?
Okay.
So your girl has to know, like, yo, you're checking for this bitch's pictures.
I got to see it.
It's going to be.
What I'm saying is going to be on the picture itself.
Yes.
Absolutely.
That's a trap.
Once they sent that shit over, I was like, yo.
Listen, you don't think I'm going to figure out.
The girls don't figure out this shit.
Come on, son.
Guaranteed.
Guaranteed your girl got another account where she follows every single girl you follow.
Yo.
Don't follow him.
Don't follow him.
That's the first rookie.
My thing is, I've been about to say that.
Mental like.
Mental like, bro.
Just mental like.
Come on.
That's a good ass point.
I never thought about it like that, bro.
I'll be forgetting, though.
Hey, you be deleting your search history, though.
Nah.
You could do that?
Yeah.
Damn, I cost you nice with it.
Akash, why do you have to delete your search history?
Hey.
Yo, you don't think Jessica Rose getting deleted out the motherfucker?
Crazy, boy.
Bro, I'm still debating if I'm going to post that picture.
I'm saying, shit.
I don't know.
All right, let me tell you my flavor thought this week.
So you know how like we're all we're part of like a shared culture.
We're part of like a, you know, something that we do that we think is cool.
We share something we think is proud of.
We share.
You know what I mean?
We get a new car.
We share.
We get a new bike we share.
We get jewelry share, sneakers share, any of that kind of shit we share.
We're a share culture, right?
Like that's what I respect about serial killers is that like the facts, yo, the shit they care the most about, bro.
They keep to themselves.
That's hey, man, right?
That's admirable.
Like, they're the most unique people in this time because they're not flexing nothing.
No flex zone is their whole life, right?
You know, Andrew's fucked up when he's like, you know, the thing about serial killers.
So here's the thing: they love it so much.
And if they want to continue doing it, they can't share it.
But the moment they get caught, they let everybody get facts.
But think about all the rappers that should like these young kids that are rapping about all the people they killed.
They can't keep that to themselves.
They got to flex on a gram.
The guy selling drugs and like putting the shit on IG immediately.
It's like, bro, all these people doing this elite, you got to do it.
YNW Melly, whatever his name is.
Motherfucker, his biggest song called Murder on My Mind, where he's talking about the guy he fucking murdered.
And now he's in jail for murder.
Real talk game.
You love the fame.
Whoa.
Spit that shit, Iceberg, Akash.
Iceberg Singh.
Iceberg Singh.
Interesting fact.
I just found out over the weekend.
The American with the most murders is a black guy.
Yeah, you already know we bought them stats.
I'm not sure if I'm doing that.
You know, black guys always put up numbers.
I would have sworn I had that title.
There's no way.
Sonic, dead ass.
What about Timothy McVay?
Son, he has more.
He has like 80-something bodies.
Timothy McVeigh got 3,000.
Oh, but not like a bomb, like killing individual motherfuckers.
Oh, shit.
There's a guy in Texas that just confessed to like 93 murders and they've checked out 91 of them or something like that.
Apparently, this guy had a photographic memory, which is wild.
So he vividly remembers every single kill.
That's a black dude?
I think it is.
What was he like a contract killer or just a guy who just recounted?
Half Game Betting Strategies00:02:44
No, he just enjoyed it.
Respect.
Known as the okay.
All right, boom.
These are the stats.
These are the world.
Let's see.
Luis Caravito, Venezuelan Lopez.
Let's go.
Let's see who's American right here.
There we go, right there.
Samuel Little.
Yeah.
Damn.
93 people.
There you go.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I do remember.
He's like an older black dude.
Yeah, that's guy.
Yeah, that's the guy.
Yeah, fuck.
Photographic memory, man.
Damn, American fell off.
Sam.
Respect.
You can't even crack.
You can't even get the bronze and serial killer.
Is this him?
Oh, shit.
Oh, wow.
Did he fucking draw all this shit?
Who he looked like?
Craig Robinson.
Wow.
Oh, my lord.
This is wild, bro.
Bro, he looks like a guy.
Gotta look a little like me when we did that face thing and it made me old.
Oh, yeah.
That's a little scary.
Holy shit.
Damn, son.
Anyway.
He looks so friendly.
All right, guys, let's take a break for a second.
We're talking football.
And if you're going to gamble, it's very simple who you're going to gamble with.
It's my bookie.
Oh, yeah.
That's it.
Okay.
They're matching your initial investment up to $1,000.
You get a $3,000.
Do I need to tell you anything else?
Do I need to read anything else?
Is there any more convincing you need?
If you're already going to fucking gamble, take the $3,000 that they're going to match.
It's the only time in gambling you're guaranteed to make money.
That's it.
You put it there, they're going to pay you.
Crazy.
I don't even know.
I'm not saying anything else.
I'm not saying anything else.
You want to do football?
You want to do MMA?
You want whatever the fuck you want to do.
You want to bet the first half of the game, then you're losing.
You bet the second half of the game.
You just do it.
And you're going to get some free money.
There's literally nothing else I have to say.
They're asking me about betting in the playoffs.
I'm not going to promote that.
Everything else I'll promote.
Then the MLB playoffs, I'm not going to do it.
I just can't get behind it.
Okay.
But you want to be in part.
Basketball season's coming around.
Obviously, football season's making things work.
The Jets are on a little bit of an uptick.

Cowboys Running Back Stats00:13:06
Shams is there.
They got the best collection of talent.
We talked about this last week.
You know how you know they're putting out good content?
Mark Cuban is going at them.
Simple as that.
Best endorsement any place has ever gotten.
When billionaires complain, you're doing something right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like Mark Cuban gives a fuck about ESPN Insider.
And he ain't complaining about them because they're not saying anything that bothers him.
Tim Cato's a great Mavs writer.
Jake Kemp's a great Mavs writer.
Bob Sturm, the best Cowboys writer.
It is the first place I go to for sports.
Model simple, no pop-ups, no ads, no autoplay video.
It goes beyond game recaps.
It provides a smarter analysis and deeper perspective about teams and leagues.
That is 100% true.
That's not just ad copy.
That's exactly what it is.
You have full access to national and local NBA coverages, plus stories, podcasts, and videos from all sports.
And you basically just get to choose the teams you like.
I follow the Cowboys.
I follow the Mavs.
I used to follow the Cavs.
Then when LeBron went to the Lakers, I follow the Lakers, and every story about that team just populates on my site.
It's great.

Very worth it.
And let's get back to the show.
All right, beast, beast, beast, beast.
Let's talk a little bit.
We got some topics.
I know we got some things to do.
First, we didn't talk about Errol Spence.
That happened right after.
Oh, yeah, man.
Yo, best luck recovering for his suspense.
Junior, man, is sad.
He was in a car accident, and it looks like he's going to make full recovery.
But, you know, he had just had a really hard-fought victory over Sean Porter, which he did not look too exceptional.
And to be honest, I thought he was way too depleted and he was just way too skinny.
But after his victory, he got in this horrible car accent.
So have you heard anything?
Very lucky to be alive.
I saw that.
Apparently, he expected to make a full recovery, broke some teeth, and that's it.
Which is crazy because they actually said this is like the one in a million time that not wearing a seatbelt saved him.
It's crazy that he broke teeth, not boxing.
Not boxing.
Yeah, like, whoa.
Yeah, it's so weird.
We hear this all the time.
Wear a seatbelt, your seatbelt saves you.
And then, like, every time I see this crazy accent or drunk driving, it's always the person that's not wearing the seatbelt that ends up.
Because a lot of times it depends on the car and what the car does.
If it shoots you out of the vehicle, it's better.
It's better because the shit tumbled.
And if he would have stayed in the car as much as that fucking shit.
We saw the crazy accident, though.
Remember, we saw the guy die.
That guy got thrown from the car.
And the guys that stayed in the car lived.
So it's weird.
But like the way the car, yeah, the way the whole top caved in, it was better that he got ejected from the bus.
So he got ejected out of the car?
Yeah.
I was expected to make a full recovery, which is crazy.
Brain issues at all?
Any concussion?
I don't know.
And I don't know.
I'm sure he got a concussion or two, but like, if they're saying full recovery, that means like, you know.
Full functioning recovery, but I don't know boxing.
Boxing is probably not the least of his concerns right now.
But I mean, he'll be able to live a pretty decent life afterwards.
Oh, is his career over?
We don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't think anybody's had the heart to be like, I don't think I'll be like, hey, so when you're getting back to the ring after this, you know what I'm saying?
Voters will definitely be checking in.
Wow, man.
So tragic, bro.
That is tragic, man.
What else?
Super talented boxer.
You were at the Jets Cowboys game yesterday.
Yeah.
My man, the Orange Jesus himself showed his face.
Sam Darnold.
Sam Darnold, boy.
He's red-headed.
He's all.
I think Carson Wentz is redhead, so we take Orange.
All right, fair enough.
Son, I didn't even.
You saw the Cowboys players not even down.
Shake Jason Garrett's hands, yeah.
So we had low-level seats.
Like, we were very close at the end zone.
Worst.
Yeah, and it's rough in the end zone.
And plus, the only time every touchdown pretty much was scored away from us.
Except the Jets, the Jets, two touchdowns.
Actually, I got a very close view.
Dog, is this a fireable Elf Jason Garrett?
No, he's not going to get fired.
I think he should have been fired.
I never liked Jason Garrett.
But I was with my homie, who is Brian, shout out to Brian, and he was like, I would not be surprised no matter the outcome before the game.
As soon as I heard Sam Darnold was playing, I was like, I don't know if they're going to win this.
Because he's that good, Darnold?
I don't know.
It's just the Cowboys might be that bad.
He might end up playing that well.
The Cowboys were missing their defense looks bad in general.
It's just like a fucking, bro.
I was just watching that game.
I'm like, of course.
I wouldn't even like.
The Cowboys are missing.
Was it Teron Smith who's like all pro left?
Two left tackles are out, but the right and left tackle are hurt, which that'll fuck any team up you would think.
But San Francisco also missing their starting right tackle and left tackle, and they're 5-0.
But their defense is what's really their defense in their run game is really doing it.
But the run game you would think would be fucked up with two.
Right.
So it's like, everybody's hurt.
It's like you got to win in spite of injuries.
And then you get credit for that, but if you lose, you can't put it on anything.
But with the Jets, it's like they were literally starting a guy who's not an NFL quarterback for the past four weeks.
Yeah, so they weren't a legit 0-4.
Luke Falk.
Luke Falk literally got cut as soon as they set up the game.
So they had their starting quarterback, Sam Darnold, go down in game one.
They lost to Buffalo, who's good by like one point.
Then the second week, they had a backup.
What was his name?
It wasn't Matt Calvin.
They had not Matt Cowson.
Whoever the backup was, broke his ankle in the first quarter.
So they had to go to their first quarter.
Trevor Simeon.
Trevor Simmons.
He used to play for the Broncos.
He was good, yeah.
And so they had to go to their third string quarterback, who, as soon as Darnold was back, they cut the guy, and nobody signed him.
It was bad.
And people were saying, like, Sam Darnold was doing for a breakout year.
Like, end of last year, he was cooking.
I think second-best QBR over the second half of the year or some shit like that.
And then he got maybe on Bell.
And Roddy Anderson's a great nine-route runner and fast as fuck.
And they got like a 93-yard bomb that took the game over.
So I saw probably 60,000 Jets fans, 30,000 Cowboy fans.
I've never seen 60,000 people start something so hopeless.
And then be so hopeless.
And then 45 minutes feel utterly unstoppable.
45 minutes.
I saw the complete run of emotions.
And then they were actually pretty nice.
And here's, let me tell you something that's funny.
Only one person I saw got ejected for fighting wearing an Eagles jersey.
He doesn't even go here.
I don't know.
Yeah, Eagles jerseys.
Just came out, just fought.
Can't go to Eagles games anymore.
He's been arrested too many times.
Oh, fucking Philly fans, man.
They'll never let me down.
Were the Jets a legit team as you watched them, or the Cowboys that bad?
The Cowboys were that bad.
The Jets aren't horrible.
They're not 0-4.
They're not the worst team in the league, but the Cowboys should have beat their ass.
So many missed opportunities.
They're the Knicks of the NFL.
But it was close, right?
They always lose close.
They will find a way.
I would have said this.
The Jets were up most of the game, and then I think Sam Darnold threw a pick, and then like that last drive when they threw like seven fucking flags.
Yeah, I'm watching replays, and again, that was when they were at the other end of the field.
Watching replays, they all seemed on the video board like pass interference to me.
Yeah.
I didn't think there were bad calls, but I was like, yeah, this is just, it's an ugly game.
And that's what the Cowboys do.
They will find a way to crush you always.
And even when they were, I was like, they're not going to win.
They're not going to get the two-point conversion.
But like, that's exactly how they'll lose.
They'll get all the way back there, and then they'll fuck up.
This is what they do every time.
Last game of the season, last play of the game.
I'm not even faithful.
I mean, but the 0-4, I mean, Jets were 0-4, but it's a very sneaky 0-4.
Like, like you said, they had no quarterback.
Their defense went down.
They lost CJ Mosley for a while.
It was basically L'Avion Bell and the Pips, just like anything they could do just to get any sort of offense.
So they got him back.
With him, though, I still think they're like, if he played the whole year, that's like a six or seven win team.
Oh, for sure.
For sure.
I thought the Jets would be.
I thought the Jets, I thought, best case scenario, Jets go eight and eight.
Like if they're all healthy and they play well and whatever, because you still got to go through the Patriots twice.
The Bills actually look like a good team this year.
Like that's four, that's possibly four L's right there.
So you know, who knows?
The Carolina Panthers.
You love the Panthers.
I don't love the Panthers, but I'm curious about the team.
This is crazy because it is odd that you see, like, I was the fucking biggest Cam Newton fan.
I think we all were.
Yeah, I think we all celebrate him like more so, not even just as a quarterback, but just as like a physical specimen.
I think you rarely get to see somebody like that in athletics.
Yeah.
It's just rare, right?
He was like LeBron James.
He's like LeBron.
You're so fucking big.
He was like Hussein Bolt.
Yeah.
Right?
It was just like you get to see this every once in a while.
So I'm kind of rooting for him to win.
And I thought the narrative of him like really being good with kids was cool because he was kind of unliked by the media, but then he had all this kind of charitable shit to back it.
So it's like, okay, I'm going to root for you instead of the median narrative.
And it was fun.
You know what I mean?
It was fun.
And you want him to go for it.
He dresses like a fucking goofball.
But at the same time, if you can back that up, you're the coolest guy in the game.
Of course.
If you can't, you're an idiot.
But if you could back it up, well, he was an MVP.
At one time, he was backing it up.
Of course, of course.
More than that.
Not denying that.
He goes down, and then this team becomes fucking electrifying.
I mean, Christian McCaffrey.
Like, is this Kimberly or is it not?
Christian McCaffrey has been, like, since high school, like, I've heard about this dude.
Like, I've seen like viral clips of the white boy getting like just fucking.
I thought the Stanford overrated, if you ask me, I was in Stanford division or something.
Like, he was there.
What's his face still coach over there when he was over there?
Carborough?
Yeah.
Okay.
It was a black dude, dude.
Who coached Andrew Love?
I forget his coach.
Right.
But Stanford had a pretty good football program for a while, and he cooked for them.
And, you know, I wasn't sure if his skills would just translate it in the NFL because, you know, I listen to a bunch of idiots and pre-draft routines that swear that they know what they're talking about.
But most of the times, it's like they say the same thing about Lamar Jack.
Oh, well, we don't know if he's going to be doing the pros.
It's the Sean Watson take to have, by the way.
Black quarterbacks, white running backs.
Oh, no, no.
We don't know if it's going to do it in the pros.
Outside of the racial component, the easiest take to have about talent is it's not going to translate because nine out of ten times it doesn't translate.
It's like you're not predicting anything brilliant here, right?
How many guys end up being breakout stars?
Let me tell you something.
That's the easiest fucking job in sports, bro.
Just to say that.
Pre-draft analysis.
So if you were really a pre-draft analysis person, a team would hire you to get these names.
That's a great point.
If you were good at your SPN, you'd be working for the Panthers.
Trey and Kuiper don't know shit.
Okay.
They know just as much.
Break this down for me.
This McCaffrey, is it hype?
Is it real?
And what is his elite skill that's allowing him to play so well these last fast as fuck?
Yeah, it's just raw speed.
It's athletic.
Yeah, just fast, quick.
Can leap.
Like, he's just like a freak athlete.
Well, right now in the NFL, if you've got a pass-catching back where all shit goes to hell, you can just get it to somebody in the backfield.
That's it.
He's doing a lot of screens.
He's getting a little bit more.
Yeah, and it's like, if you're that dude and you're catching things out the backfield, you usually got to beat just one guy first.
He's a dual threat.
The easiest job to do with running back is people.
That's what I was going to say.
It's definitely Marshall Falkish.
Definitely Marshall Falkis.
He's an all-purpose guy.
He's leading the league in scrimmage yards.
He's probably the best back in football right now.
Whoa.
He's probably the best back in football.
Better than.
Right now, there's nobody playing back.
Elliot, better than.
Better than Elliot.
Elliot's not having a great year.
He's doing all right.
Again, I don't think the Cowboys should have paid out.
Saquon's hurt.
Saquon is hurt.
Yeah.
Fucking Le'Veon.
The minute Saquon comes back in.
There's a discussion to be had.
But right now, nobody's playing better than him.
It's not close.
So McCaffrey's different.
Maybe like three kills, if you count him.
Yeah, he was good before, but this year is like probably because Cam went down and you got this young kid, you're throwing him in there.
You're like, let's give him all the support we can.
Here's Christian McCaffrey.
And you know what's interesting?
There's this rule I've talked about.
It's like the 370 carries.
There's some X number of carries that running backs always fall off after they get this many carries.
And I think the idea is you are taking these collisions from these massive motherfuckers linemen and linebackers.
I looked at Marshall Fawkes' stats.
If you combine catches and rushes, he's always, not always, like three times he was over that number, but he never fell off.
And I think it's because once you're catching passes, you're taking cornerbacks.
And safeties who can thump sometimes, but not always.
And not insane.
It's not Jamal Adams coming down the middle.
And three linemen, you're fucking trying to get through the whole bang, bang, bang before the tackle.
It seems like it's...
Not to mention, you're being dragged down a lot of times by corners.
It's not head-on-head collision.
You're both running in a direction, being pushed out of bounds.
Maybe you're pushed out of bounds.
Maybe you got like a shoulder shrug to go down or whatever.
And a lot of times, if you're a running back, you welcome a defensive back trying to talk.
Sub Tiers and Video Growth00:04:54
Come get this.
You welcome that shit.
Come get this.
It's like you weigh 180 pounds.
I'm used to running into guys weighing 250.
Yeah.
He might be a little more.
I'm sure they're riding him.
And I haven't gotten to watch the games a ton because we're traveling on Sundays.
But they might be riding the fuck out of him, but it's not quite as devastating if he's catching a lot of passes, it seems like.
Yeah, he's a special dude, man.
I remember he came out in the same class of Leonard Fournette and all these big high school prodigies.
And he was one of them.
Yeah, he was one of them, dude.
So anybody who's followed prep football is not a surprise.
He's that dude.
Akash, now you've been on your first tour, your first legit stand-up tour.
You've toured before, but this is your first tour.
This is my first headlining tour.
Headlining tour.
Outside of the cities that you might find.
That's the greatest thing I've ever done in my life.
Is it enjoyable?
It's the best fucking thing.
To do 45 is so fucking dope.
And doing 25 for you is always great.
But getting to stretch, getting to breathe, getting to say, hey, here's an idea.
Let me try to work this out.
And then ride the silences and know I have more time to make this up.
And it's assholes coming out.
So they know me a little bit and they know there's always a proving you have to do.
Yep.
And especially five minutes to me now is the hardest thing in comedy.
Of course.
If I have five minutes, it's like, what the fuck?
I have to prove I'm funny to you.
Most of you don't know me.
And then I have to solidify this guy's really good in five minutes.
With 45, it's like I can explore and I can play.
You can be yourself with the crowd and like fucking beat me, man.
It's like I'm breathing.
Sold out Minneapolis the first show, which was cool.
And then the second show, we didn't sell out.
And I was asking people, they're like, this is why I was new as a Wax City.
They were like, yeah, man, 10.30 is kind of late, man.
Wait, what day was it?
They're 9.30.
It's a Friday.
Jesus Christ.
I think the shows are 7 and 9.30.
Maybe it was 8.
9.30 local.
Now, I'll say, Minneapolis is a big comedy town, but you're also competing with two other clubs.
So it's not like.
And it seemed like mainly people who knew me.
And now with Eclipse, it's interesting because I'm seeing not LA was heavy assholes, but like outside of that, I'm not seeing as many assholes as I thought.
I thought if I raised it up at the beginning of the show, everybody would throw their hands up.
But it's like 50-50.
So I'm going to go to the bottom.
People are finding you from YouTube and social.
I think so.
So good.
That's so exciting.
That's so dope, man.
Appreciate everybody pushing me to do it.
No, it's like about fucking time.
I love it.
Your stuff always comes up on my feed on the YouTube.
And it's so interesting.
It's just so interesting to see how the YouTube feed works and how these things happen because it's not like I'm seeking out your stuff.
What the algorithm is deciding that the stuff I like happens to be that.
And it's right.
That's the craziest thing about the algorithm.
When it suggests your friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, my shit always comes up on you.
Well, I think I'm subscribed to your shit, but like.
Maybe I am.
Maybe I'm sub-tier.
But still, like, when your buddies come up, I don't think I'm sub-tiers.
I don't think I'm sub-tiers.
I truly believe it's like...
You can get it together.
I was about to say, goddamn, you can't get it.
You're getting a click.
But meaning like, it's even better.
It's like, it's at work.
The algorithm is at work.
Oh, you're watching these clips.
You're doing this.
I want to say somebody.
I think somebody, I don't know if it's Minneapolis or Detroit, but was like, yo, you're really funny.
There's this other comedian I really like named Andrew Schultz or whatever, whatever.
So I was like, the guy had no idea.
It wasn't.
There was no way it was flagrant.
It was just like, it was a cool thing.
World's coming together.
I had a combo with YouTube.
You want to give that up?
Yeah, because I think it's the right thing to do.
All right.
Some shit keep in a pocket.
It's always shared what to do.
Well, it's a gem or is it...
I mean, it's just like.
Yo, so I've been out.
This is interesting because now my videos are starting to go a little bit.
So little things I'm learning.
I'm like, If he does my caffeines, he's a brown comic who does every brown comics shit.
And I'm like, yo, here's what you got to do for the thumbnail.
Here's what you got to do for this.
And then as I see these motherfuckers doing it, part of me is like, that's cool.
I'm spreading it forward.
And part of me's like, I shouldn't have fucking told them that.
Fuck, man.
And it's like, I get where you're going.
Like, you like to help out, but there's an advantage to, you know, knowing certain things because you already see the impact that this has all had in the industry.
And it's like, you give everybody, you have people contacting you like, yo, how many people you have in a row with you?
And all that type of shit.
Yeah.
Everybody's going to just.
You're going to see a lot.
Put it this way.
You're going to see a lot of, just as you saw like the comics start to post the stuff on social and YouTube and there was that wave.
You're also going to see the wave of comics starting to do vlogs and starting to do like the other kind of ancillary shows that we've started to do.
And that's just the nature of the business, you know?
And, you know, a lot have reached out and just asking, you know, how exactly we operate.
Cowardly Women Returning00:03:14
And I think that I always think back to like something my mom said to me, which was, because my mom, she basically kind of like organized the way like ballroom dance was taught in New York City.
And then every other ballroom dance studio that popped up was either someone who she taught or a teacher that she that worked for her.
And I was like, doesn't it piss you off that like these teachers will like build up their thing working for you and then like take all the students there?
And she was like, she's like, no, that's just the nature of business.
And she goes, it's actually good for business.
I was like, what do you mean?
She goes, competition is good.
It makes you create a better product.
It makes you step it up.
Her mom was built for America.
Yo, that's why she had to leave Scotland.
She shadows.
She is the rawest form of that shit.
And she loves the smoke.
I remember once she retired and like the business was suffering a little bit.
I actually think we had just started hanging out at this point.
And she came back.
Oh, boy.
Came back a little bit.
This woman is a force, bro.
Yo, didn't she go to like another, like somebody was like stealing her shit or something like that?
And then she like sat in on their class knowing they knew who she was or something like that.
And she just sat there and didn't.
It was something crazy.
I don't remember the exact name.
Don't say a word.
Oh, she's a fucking savage, dude.
Dude, she's a, dude.
I mean, like, once she's like in the game.
I remember once my brother was playing soccer and the coach like put my brother in for like one minute of a game.
My mom walked out during the game, stopped the game, and started talking to the coach before she kids.
Your mom is black.
Yo, bro, I'm like, your mom sounds like my mom.
Scottish people are black, bro.
That's it.
We're tribal people.
Something that my mom has done.
Like, when my coach wasn't playing me, she gets to play.
So my mom, when I was young, my mom was on the fucking...
I remember this vivid memory.
We're on the bus going to, she was pregnant with my little brother.
We're on like the regular bus going to thing to school, and nobody would get up.
And my mom just stood in the middle of the bus and she goes, cowards.
You're all cowards.
You call yourselves men.
There's that pregnant woman on the bus.
And you kind of stand up for her, huh?
Cowards, all of you.
And this guy stood up.
He goes, don't stand up now.
This is great.
Don't stand up now.
I can handle it myself.
Just know you're a fucking coward.
Sit there, you coward.
I love it.
Bro, does not play.
This woman would not play around, bro.
Yo, she sent me the wildest text message.
Did I tell you this?
It might be a bit.
Son, it might, yo, y'all want to see how crazy my mom is?
This is how crazy my mom is.
That's good.
This is how crazy my mom is.
Son, ready?
This is 12.03 a.m. 12 midnight, Friday or Saturday.
I'm about to walk on the stage at New York Comedy Club and perform.
I get this text.
Hi, my love.
I'm drunk.
Can you please tell me how many times in your life I've embarrassed you?
Oh.
Wait, it's very important to know the exact number of times and the deep degree of humiliation I've caused you.
This is very important to me.
Thank you.
I go, none.
Absolutely none, Ma.

Don't worry.
She goes, none accepted.
She's a wild lady, bro.
Oh, shit.
But yeah, so I don't know.
That's where he gets it.
It's like the abolition fall far at all.
No rope.
Complete lunatic.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, forgiven.
You forgive me, I forgive me.
Oh, my God.
But so she, so anyway, I had that call.
I don't know.
You're right.
It's not something we can't.
It's years of trying to figure this fucking thing out.
So, chill.
Finally get some traction, Jill.
Just hold it.
Just hold it.
Hold it.
Just hold it.
At least let me use it for some of my.
You know, give it to us.
At least let us use it first.
And then be like, you know.
Oh, you know what?
Drop it on Patreon.
No, fuck all that.
Maybe.
They're already getting enough free.
All right.
That's fair.
But just, yeah.
I had to, all right.
I don't know.
I mean, you know, my thing is just like share.
And I think good things come from the sharing.
And I think that I think we've done a lot of that.
And I think we've helped a lot of it.
I don't think that there's ever a void in helping that.
It was funny.
We were having a conversation with this kid outside the cellar.
Wait, the one who got kicked out?
No, no, no, with the titles, the thing.
Oh, the subtitles.
Yeah, Billy.
Yeah.
He used to work at Hot 97.
Yeah.
And he was doing some subtitles for comics.
And what was he saying exactly?
He was like, oh, I figured out the font.
The font that Comedy Central uses.
And mind you, Comedy Central has designed their clips after Andrews.
He thinks like that's he thought the font was the key.
He's like, I'm not telling anybody about the font.
And it's like, buddy, we could do it in script.
It doesn't matter.
It's not about the font.
But two things.
One, it's cool to see people like trying to cultivate a competitive advantage.
But it's also the other part is like, if you're going to take or like be inspired by someone, give that inspiration.
Don't hoard shit.
Like, it's good that you're sharing shit because you got it from us.
So it's like.
You got to pay it forward.
You got to pay for it.
And I think that we've done a lot of that.
There's a quote.
I'll say this though.
If Alex is telling you to hold something, Alex has become my voice of reason pretty quickly.
Alex is good.
You're right.
Basically, it was a talk.
I won't talk.
I won't say what it was, but I had a good talk with YouTube and that there are some things that my gut was telling me.
And I think that it was right.
And just about how the algorithm works.
And we basically got to the people who make the algorithm.
And that was the most exciting part because once you talk to them.
That's like meeting the agent from the Matrix.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
That's exactly.
It's like you're conversing.
No, no, it's the white guy.
Again, Smith.
Not even the white guy who's the architect.
The architect.
So it's like, when you were talking about the algorithm and potentially helping write the algorithm, because that's what I want the next step of this to be, because I've noticed a flaw in the algorithm.
And that is next level shit.
That is, we're already in the wild west of what's happening right now in entertainment.
But to be like at the table curating how content is digested, like that's fucking like I was having a phone call.
I'm like, what is going on right now?
Like what the, like back two years ago, we're just by ourselves.
I was by myself, literally by myself.
And then Alex comes on board and we're just putting up content on the internet on YouTube and Instagram.
And now we're talking to the fucking algorithm writers of YouTube.
That's a fucking insane, insane thing that happened.
Maybe Patreon, I'll give a little more information.
But if you think it's best to keep it for a little bit, how about this?
Afterwards, I'll tell you guys, and then maybe next episode, if you guys believe it's okay to just share, then we'll just give it away.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's it.
Maybe we should start, you know, maybe do another thing and then wrap it up.
I know we've got to give our dates and everything.
Do we want to update on this NBA China shit?
Is that still worthy of news?
Since we talked about it on Patreon, the NBA, Kaz's Flagrant Thought of the Week on Patreon, was what was it?
The NBA?
Giving a Fuck About China00:13:57
They were kind of pussy.
China says shut up and dribble.
And they were like, okay.
It literally will happen.
So Darren Rory tweets this thing.
What a fucking.
The NBA apologizes for his tweet.
He apologizes for his tweet.
The Rockets consider firing him.
The China won't air any of the games that the NBA is playing over there on Chinese television.
Did he see the Lakers in that game over in China?
No, no one.
Bro.
No, I mean, like, it was, it was fucked, like, maybe 45% full.
Like, it's LeBron James and the Los Angeles.
I mean, real talk, fuck China.
But real talk, but real talk.
They got that big dick and shit.
No, they don't know everything.
Even though they don't have big children.
I know, even though I love you, as anti-American as it sounds, I'm like, damn, they really told you to shut the fuck up.
And they were like, Oogie.
Real talk.
This is why, listen, this is tough.
This is why global politics is a different game.
There's two takeaways that I got from this.
One is the world is going to miss America when we're no longer in charge.
This shit where everybody complains about stuff like that.
And don't get me wrong, we're not perfect.
We're out here stealing motherfuckers oil.
We're out here bodying countries and giving them all this crazy debt, et cetera.
But you could sweet.
When America's in charge, you get to tweet.
You get basketball.
You get to wear whatever you want.
You know what I mean?
You get South Park.
You get whatever movie.
Somebody going to have to be in charge.
And the choice is America, Russia, China.
And undoubtedly, if that's even a word, the best world that there is is going to be America.
The only result.
You know why we're not going to win that, though?
Because we owe China so much fucking money.
Win so much fucking debt to the motherfucker.
If you got nuclear weapons, you don't owe nobody money.
Come get it.
That's what I'm going to say.
Come get it.
We got an aircraft carrier right outside China.
Come get it.
You want war with China?
Yo, China's way of infiltrating American history.
Pull up, son.
I'm telling you, the sleeper cells, man.
He truly believes every Chinatown is actually like a militia.
You don't think there's some sleeper cells?
There's one dude in China.
He's got to be a field.
Son, why you call them sleeper cells?
Because their eyes like that, bro?
That's not fair, dog.
Yo, that's how they look, dog.
That's fucked up.
Real talk.
Crows, son.
They will wake.
They will stay.
Real talk.
Yo, would anything scare a city less than Chinatown uprising?
We'd be like, sit the fuck down, man.
We got time for your stupid shit.
Keep your fish, man.
Get the fuck out of here.
You say that now so they don't pull out the nunchucks.
You say that now until you need something to eat on Christmas.
All right, my bad, son.
Now we can work out arrangements.
The way China is winning this is money.
They're just giving, they're making us dependent on their money.
So that's a real fucking smart, insidious game to play.
Who invented that?
It's just Pippin.
Oh, China.
Who literally invented that game?
America invented that game.
The consumption game, we're the biggest consumers in the world, and all these economies are reliant on our consumption.
When America goes, we're going to sanction this company or country for what they did.
You ever hear sanctions?
That's all it is.
We're going to restrict your economic movement and where you can put your money, who can do deals with you, et cetera.
And other countries have to bow down to those restrictions because they need us to buy their goods.
Now that China has this big middle class, they become the biggest consumers, I think.
Or they're one of them.
I mean, they're doing it.
You talked about this.
You couldn't afford.
You got priced out of a bunch of apartments because Chinese companies were just going to buy all the apartments.
They are Chinese, bro.
They're buying up everything.
Like, they're making us dependent on their business.
And then what the fuck are we going to do?
I don't know politics.
So this is a very rudimentary thing.
I'm just thinking through.
But like, that was when I was like, oh, everybody kowtows to China for the dollar, for their money.
Everybody.
Kowtow.
What is that?
I think that's like bow down.
I thought that was a Chinese city or some shit like that.
That's how much they respect the house.
Hindu out here, bro.
You know how horrified Akash was when she was milking my thumbs, bro?
You've seen how horrified.
I saw a single tear ball to Akash.
To desecrate a cows that way.
Dude, we got to get a Chinese chick.
You need to get on top of it.
We get ahead of the game, bro.
For real.
It is an interesting time to be in.
But then since we talked about it, a reporter, first of all, Steve Curry was like, Steve Kerr was like, I don't know much about the situation.
And then Trump is a bad guy.
It's fucking embarrassing.
Trump bodied him.
Then he was like, oh, he just went at me because I'm the shiny object.
No, he went at you because you'll talk shit about him constantly, who talks about building a wall.
And even before he was elected, that's all he had done, talking about building a wall.
Oh, you can't spread this hate speech.
China, bodying everybody.
They don't give a fuck about lives, period.
Yo, they're not putting Muslims in internment camps.
Yo.
The Uyghurs are, I don't know, Uyghurs.
Desecrating mosques.
You would say that.
Son, I don't know exactly here, but they're like desecrating my, it's fucked up.
Now, listen, we knew this the whole time we knew this.
Here's my issue: I don't care.
I don't expect, and I mean this wholeheartedly, I do not expect black Americans to give a fuck about the Hong Kong, the Hong Kongese struggle, because I'll tell you one group that does not give a fuck about the black American struggle.
Hong Kong.
Hong Kongese people.
You know, when Black Lives Matter was popping off, there ain't no Hong Kong people going, yo, we got your back.
We'll help you, this, that, the other.
And I'll be frank with you, from my experience with my black friends, the Chinatowns have not been the most inviting place for black people.
Okay.
Now, y'all do be lingering.
Where's it going to go?
No, lingering is the name of the girl that works there.
No.
So, so, so the thing is with lingering.
Sounds sexual.
Ling Ling.
After fullness.
So, but, but that being said, my issue is not we got to do something or have an opinion.
Honestly, fuck them.
It's not our business.
I'm sorry.
Real talk.
The only reason why we care is because they make up 17% of the income of the NBA and probably more than 100%.
17, yeah.
17, yeah.
But no, but the thing is, like, this is how goofy Americans are.
It's like, it's like we always say, stop interfering with other people's problems.
And then there's this shit over there.
And it's like, how dare we not interfere with their problems?
Like, figure it out, you pussies.
You know, that being said, I don't think that we should give a fuck.
I really, truly do not believe that we have to give a fuck.
What I'm saying is acknowledge that you are choosing not to give a fuck about a community or about a people in the world.
And then don't be shocked when there are people in the world that don't give a fuck about you.
It's that simple.
Like people, and even when it happens in your own country, sometimes people don't give a fuck about other groups besides themselves.
And that happens.
As fucked up as it is, it happens to be human nature.
Jay-Z said it best.
There's a line where he says, I want to take care of the world I know, but first I got to take care of the world I know.
I mean, no, there's bigger problems in the world, I know.
But first of all, I got to take care of the world I know.
Like literally, I know my direct people.
Exactly.
And that's kind of how I've always lived shit.
Like, I've never tried to pretend to be the most astute in everything that's going on in the world because there's shit going on in my immediate world that I couldn't probably have a controlling stake in to try and help and fix and do that type of shit.
Like, truly, somebody asked me about what's going on in China.
I kind of know.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Is there anything I can really do about it?
No, I don't think this is openly the policy.
That's the thing.
Like, it would be so much better if it was because think about like there are so many, there are so many people who want attention to their issues for their issues, and they should want attention for their issues, right?
But keep in mind, a guy who's like this staunch Trump supporter, like factory worker in Kansas, he don't give a fuck about Black Lives Matter because it has nothing to do with him.
So maybe he doesn't even, he doesn't hate or like black people.
It's just not part of his life.
Just like how you don't give a fuck about his factory closing because it's not part of your life.
Now, it's shocking to hear and take in, but that's the reality of humanity.
We care about the people.
Like Jay-Z said, we know.
I mean, it's easier to, it's a lot easier to act like you care.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Like it's a lot easier and a lot easier to stomach to be, you know, well-aware and well-intentioned.
But when it comes down to actual action and comes down to like things you can actually take care of, there's only so much you could really do.
And to act like just being aware and knowing things is going to change anything that's going on in China.
The fact if LeBron James came down and had a whole fucking dissertation at a press conference about everything that's going on in China, is that going to change any fucking thing?
Not a single fucking thing.
Can I ask you this?
If an NFL team signed Colin Kaepernick, is that going to change anything about police brutality?
Nope.
Honestly?
I'm just saying, I think he should play on a team.
I just think by that logic.
I'll tell you this.
I think.
Because you're kind of just giving them a pass on that and then asking other people to do it.
You got to remember that.
The only reason why Colin Kaepernick knelt was just to bring awareness to it.
Has he brought awareness to these issues?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, he has.
LeBron could bring a lot of awareness to the issues.
Yeah.
Colin Kaepernick never said like, yo, I'm signing to an NFL team.
Cops will stop doing this.
He was just saying like, also, you have to.
No, no, no.
No, but your point is, your point is, LeBron doesn't have to say anything because what good is it going to do?
It's not going to save anybody in China.
NFL owners saying, you know what?
Colin Kaepernick stood up for what was right, and I believe this is a horrible thing that is happening.
And this is factual.
He's right.
I agree with Colin Kaepernick.
But let's say by that same logic, if an NFL team was like, you know what?
Colin Kaepernick said the right thing.
This is a fucked up thing that's happening in America.
I'm signing Colin Kaepernick.
Same LeBron logic.
Does that change anything about police brutality?
Doesn't change anything.
Probably not.
And here's the thing.
They don't want to ruffle feathers because they still need sweatshop workers to make their equality t-shirts.
Like, that's a wild thing, right?
That's what we talk about with selective wokeness and kind of the fraudulence of it.
If we accept this is what it is, LeBron cares about black people because LeBron black.
That's great.
Cool.
I care about brown people because I'm brown.
Great.
Cool.
I'm not going to give a fuck about y'all stuff.
I care about all y'all because I'm white and I have to.
Very simple.
I don't have a choice.
That's why it sucks to be y'all.
Yeah.
You got to care about everybody.
I got to care about the Uyghurs.
I don't even know how to pronounce them.
They got good food, though.
The Uyghurs, they're like Muslim Chinese people.
This weird spelling.
Yeah, there's another thing that happened to me.
Somebody talked about it on Patreon.
They stopped the reporter from asking a question from CNN.
I saw that though.
They cut that shit off and it kept going.
But they tried to stay.
And then people at Sixers games came with free Hong Kong signs, booted them out.
Now, I looked into those people.
They were there to be booted out.
They went there for that reason.
That's what profits are.
Do they do anything beyond the signs?
They were like yelling about some shit.
And the protests.
They do.
They go in there.
They're willing to get arrested.
They wanted the attention.
And the Sixers are so stupid that they actually gave them the attention.
I would have let them sit there the whole fucking game.
Here's my question.
Were they doing obnoxious things that you should boot out beyond having the sign?
I don't know exactly what it was, but it was more than just having the sign.
Maybe they were standing in people's way or that kind of shit.
It was an organized.
There's an NBA code of conduct that you sign every time you buy a ticket that tells you, hey, we have the right to kick you out for whatever if you have a sign that we feel like is, you know, not with our value, whatever the fuck it is.
100%, no.
Yeah.
100%.
No.
No.
It's the world we know.
Our league is 85%, high, 80% black.
We do accept that.
That's all we want.
That's all we want.
We just want to expose the hypocrisy.
The only thing I dislike are hypocrites.
Not that I dislike.
I dislike, put it this way.
I dislike hypocrites that act like we aren't all them.
Like, I'm okay being a hypocrite because I'm going to tell you to your face, yeah, I'm a hypocrite.
I care about certain things and I don't care about others.
And I let the things that happen in the third world happen and act like they're not happening.
I'm not better than anybody.
I'm not better than nobody.
I'm a piece of shit, just like everybody else is a piece of shit.
So you never let anybody down who didn't expect the simple set.
Look, I am fully aware of the privilege I have living in the first world, and I ignore all the fuck shit that lets that happen.
100%.
The motherfucker that gets up here and acts like he's not.
Now you make me feel like a piece of shit.
And that's why people are so giddy to watch your downfall.
When you build your brand up to be these type of things, and then A plus B doesn't equal C one time, it'll be all over your ass, man.
Yo, we've seen that.
We've seen it happen.
The travesty and the biggest problem going on in my life right now is: should I get tints on my car?
That was a bullish shit.
He's just like, Alex, I respect it, bro.
I should do it because I don't want to get pulled over.
But then it's like.
If you don't get the tints on your car, you might get pulled over.
This is true.
Yeah, but it looks funny.
Nobody thinks a black guy is driving a Tesla.
No cop is seeing a Tesla and going, oh, there's a black guy in it.
It's sleeping when you see this black guy, though.
True.
No, no, but they don't even assume it.
Like, Teslas are like nerd cars, dude.
Like, they're not ubiquitous with like...
Like, I'm getting pulled over in my Benz.
In a Ben, like a Benz?
Black guy in Benz.
You're like, it's deep blue.
Because I had a red one at first, and I got pulled over like a week and time, and then I switched it.
So I got to grade specifically so I wouldn't get pulled over.
And I wasn't getting pulled over that much when I used to have a red car at a red table.
Forget it.
G35.
It was every week.
I missed the one red light in my little, and I had my red joint for a couple of weeks.
Immediately got a ticket.
Immediately got pulled over.
Building Something Exciting00:01:08
I was like, fuck this shit.
Yeah, black plus red equals blue, huh?
All right, guys.
I think that we got to get out of here.
That's what we're doing.
Oh, shit.
We're over two hours, man.
I love y'all.
