Missing Andrew's Big Announcement00:03:24
You're Akash here.
I am in India for another week.
That means I am not on today's episode of Flagrant, which is I am not there for Andrew's big announcement, which sucks.
But I did want to send this note just saying, man, Andrew, I wish I could be there.
I love you.
I'm so proud of you.
We've been in this for, what, 11, 12 years now?
So I have watched you grind your ass off for 11 to 12 years.
And I'm sure everybody's already figured out what the news is.
I'm not going to give it away in case they haven't.
But just know that I don't know anybody that deserves this more.
Love you, dog.
Keep it tight.
Keep it flagrant.
All of that.
What's up, everybody?
Welcome to Flagrant 2.
No easy buckets.
This episode is brought to you by Morgan and Morgan.
Don't get dunked on by an insurance company.
Call Morgan and Morgan, and they'll fight to get you full compensation after a car crash or other injury.
They've recovered billions, not millions, billions of dollars for people, and hiring them is 100% free unless you win.
That means you only pay if you win.
That seems like the best deal in the world.
Visit forthepeople.com.
That's F-O-R.
For the people.com forward slash flagrant for a free case review.
Let's start the show.
Let's start it.
My name is Andrew Schultz.
That is Andrew Schultz.
I'm here with Real Life Kaz or Kazim or whatever, whatever your new and more official and corporate and professional name is.
The more podcast still works.
Bro, it's like you're becoming like a dignified human being, bro.
I know.
It's hard.
It's really hard.
This is what keeps me from going full corporate.
It's coming here.
It's coming here.
Yeah.
It's coming here.
Holding you back.
Getting off some fuck bombs.
Still got it.
God damn it.
Still got it.
So we're here.
We got Alex and Edin in a building.
Akash is in India right now.
Yeah, he's at the Parking Line Garage.
In the parking lot garage.
He's in Mumbai.
I believe the show is either today or coming up.
So make sure you go check him out there.
I'm sure you can get all the details at AkashTing.com.
But as we start the show today, some of you might have noticed on my Instagram, I said I had a very special announcement.
Today we're recording it.
It's Monday, but it's coming out Tuesday.
So I'll make that announcement for all you guys.
Hopefully, and you get this up extra early.
Because I said that the announcement is.
When he says hopefully, he means you better get that.
That's it.
That's it.
That is my corporate way of saying get that fucking thing up.
But yeah, so 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time just coming out.
And basically, the announcement is this: I want to speak about a journey, a journey that I've been on, that we've kind of all been on.
A lot of you listeners have been, I mean, been on from the beginning with me.
Some of you have come on midway through.
Some of you come on at this tail end.
And I'm truly appreciative of all of you guys.
And it starts about like three years ago.
And you guys have heard the beginning of this story, I'm sure, ad nauseum.
But three years ago, I remember I was sitting in my living room and I received the final no on my special, this special 441 that I was going to do.
And it was from a network called CISO that nobody watched.
I've never heard of CISO.
Well, yeah, well, they went out of business.
Ah, okay.
The Nasty Show Rejection Story00:14:33
Yeah, but like it was crippling because like I received no from a place that nobody even liked.
Do you know what I mean?
Like a place that wasn't good enough for anybody to watch where like, you're not good enough for no one.
Yeah.
That's like you deserve less than no one.
We can go into that McDonald's thing because I have an issue with like minimum wage that's starting to really bother me, but we'll get into that later.
I just think it's fucked up to pay someone minimum wage.
Because you're basically saying like, if I could pay you less, I would.
You're saying, like, if you could be a slave, I would hire you that way, right?
Like, but there is a minimum amount we have to pay human beings to work.
It's almost like they're going to pay you that.
Fine.
Oh, God.
Here you go.
Like, if as an employer, you have to pay at least 50 cents more than minimum wage so you don't look like the evil person that's behind.
Screws McDuck.
It's like an episode of Watchmen.
When you see someone paying a minimum wage, you're like, dude, what's in your closet?
I don't want to give away too much.
Okay.
Anyway, so I remember after having that moment, I'm sitting there on my couch and I'm just like, okay, this is not, I can't live like this.
I can't go through my career hoping that an executive likes me or hoping that the culture of the time is going to promote the comedy I do because the culture could change like it did.
And then all of a sudden, the type of comedy that I grew up doing, this kind of flagrant, wild, potentially offensive, edgy comedy could become taboo and not cool.
And then all of a sudden, what?
No more specials, no more opportunities, no more anything.
And I was like, this is not how I'm going to provide for my family.
It's not how I'm going to provide for myself, provide for my friends.
This is not how I can take care of anything.
So I realized, okay, I have to, I have to make a change.
Like, I have to do something in life that's going to put myself in control of my destiny.
Right.
And I realized that the only way to do it was like follow the people that I thought had control of their destiny, right?
Like, you know, the Tyler Perrys, it's like the Walt Disney's, you know, even like the Rudy Raymond.
That's the guy who Dolomite is about, if any of you guys saw, right?
It's like these people invested not in the industry, but in the people, right?
And then Russ, you said Russ is a big deal.
So Russ, huge shout out to Russ because he was the one who inspired the new joke every week.
Yes.
Right.
And because he was doing a new song every week.
But it's like this investment in the people, right?
It's like before that, you invest in the industry.
It's like, how do I make a clean five minutes?
How do I make a good, clean 30 minutes?
Or how do I have a palatable this, that, the other?
And I was like, fuck that.
I want to be completely authentic with the people.
And I truly believe that if I had a deep connection with them and they felt like I respected them and they felt like what I was giving them was truth, right?
That they would bring me to the top and they would spread the word and it would be this really organic thing happen.
I was like, that's the only way you have control of the career.
There's no way otherwise.
And I sat there and I go, okay, I will allow the people to bring me to the top or the people to crumble me.
If I give it to the people and nobody likes it and they say, go fuck yourself, I can accept that.
Yeah.
But I will never.
It's always good to go out on your sword.
Exactly.
I will never allow someone in a suit to decide what happens to me in my career.
The people will always be the ones at the end of the day.
Jury, your peers.
You know what I mean?
It ain't going to be some emperor who goes thumbs up, thumb down.
It's going to be millions of people who go thumbs up, thumb down.
And I'm fine.
I can live with that one.
You know what I mean?
But the idea of like one person having my destiny in their hands.
It's bullshit.
Bullshit in most situations.
That's how you get your head cut off.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's how emperors die.
Yeah.
Right?
It's like they say no to the wrong person.
Right?
And then that happens every fucking day.
Every day.
Most kings get their head cut off and it's usually by one guy.
Because he's like, yo, you're not representing what we want.
Right?
So at the end of the day, I realized that this, that the industry is nothing without the people.
Right.
So I'm like, okay, boom.
We just got to go right to the people, say, fuck it.
We create our own industry.
We do all that.
And I go, you know what I can do is I can give away all this stuff before that comics.
We always hoarded our material for a special.
And I'm like, why don't I do the exact opposite?
Why don't I give it all away?
And if the people fuck with it, they'll come up to my live shows and I can afford to, you know, feed my family, afford to do all these things.
And it works, right?
I start selling tickets.
Everything's good.
And I find this thing, this kind of like hack of the system.
And I realized, you know what?
It's probably better to share this.
I think a lot of times what happens is like when you find some way of making money or having success, like people hoard it.
You know, like the first, the first, I think, people to find a way to like tame horses.
That was technology back in the day.
And you know what they did?
They're like, yo, don't give this out.
You got to come to our guy.
We're the only guys who could train horses.
Get money with me.
Yeah, right.
And I was like, fuck it.
This is how the game should be played.
I thought that there was value in just giving back because I remember going in that moment.
I was like, if I get any success, I will bestow this upon other people who I think will do the same thing with it.
Because it goes back to your original plan of like going with the people.
And that's not just selling tickets.
That's with the community.
That's how you build.
That's how you build industry, right?
It's like, that's how you make, that's how you take something from the ground up.
It's not just you hoarding everything.
It's you sharing.
And then it becomes ubiquitous.
It becomes ubiquitous with comedy, right?
That's the same reason why I do so many fucking interviews and podcasts.
People are like, yo, how do you get in the, so your hands in so many things?
Like, I tell them.
I'm like, listen, like, you have to keep your, you know, there's no, there's no point in hoarding all this information if you can't, you know, use it to better people.
And in a weird way, you're kind of bettering yourself as well.
Cause now you got to evolve.
100%.
Right.
And you get pushed.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
It's like, once somebody does something better, now it makes me go, okay, now we got to be better than that.
It just pushes the art and it's great.
I mean, we did things.
I think once you experience a little bit of power in your industry, it shows a lot about who you are.
And if you're the type of person that wants to hoard all that power, then you don't deserve the power.
And if you're a type of person that wants to help other people who deserve it, that's why when people say it's lonely at the top, it's bullshit.
It don't have to be.
They don't have to be lonely at the top.
So I thought we did the right thing.
I thought we, you know, we filmed Yannis' special doing these inside jokes, really trying to expose people here with these comics that they could be really friends with.
And just kind of like put people out on a platform when we start to have it.
Even giving tough love to Akash.
Now I'm just killing it.
He needed it.
I remember the days where he was just like, he didn't want to.
I remember the days when he didn't want to meet people at the shows or, you know, was too scared to not scared to do just put out his material.
His material, yeah.
Be on social media.
It's like, you know, and now look at him.
He's a fucking moonbach.
He's on YouTube.
He's international.
He's doing shows.
It's just a beautiful thing to see.
And I basically, so I basically come to this moment where we film views from the cis, right?
Alex comes out.
Matt comes out.
We go to Europe.
We film views from the cis.
My special, which was before the Crowdwars special.
And I have views from the cis and I'm going out to LA and I'm doing some podcasts and I meet with this production company called Comedy Dynamics.
And I don't think I told people this story, but Comedy Dynamics recognized the wave.
They understood it.
It's very rare that industry folks recognize things that early, but they understood it.
And they said to me, they're like, hey, don't release your special.
We want to buy it.
They were the only network.
Once again, nobody cared.
They weren't even networked.
They're a production company.
We want to buy it.
And I'm like, I'm releasing it in a week.
And they're like, just don't.
Can't you just hold off?
We'll make you an offer.
And I go, it's a million dollars and you got to give me it in a week.
And they go, they go, I don't think that's realistic in any world.
Like, this is, you know, this is not fucking, what is that movie?
Not backdraft, the other one.
Which movie are you talking about?
It seems like a Nicolas Cage movie.
Not Nicholas Cage, the other white guy.
The other white guy?
He's like, he's like bald.
Not Nicholas Cage.
He saves the world always.
He saves New York.
Bruce Willis.
What's the movies that he did?
Like four of them, one with Samuel Jackson?
Fuck if I know.
Look it up.
Samuel Jackson's is one.
He did a bunch.
It's always New York.
Some Russian is about to blow up New York.
Die Hard.
There's diehards.
No, shit.
Okay.
Two money together because I'm trying to see where this is going to be.
Anyway, that's some heist shit.
It's like, I need a million dollars by tomorrow night.
Oh, like speed.
Whatever, exactly, right?
And you're like, what the fuck are you going to get a million dollars?
You can't just go into Chase and get a million dollars because Keanu Reeves says so, right?
So the situation is, but I just said it.
And it was one of those things where it was like, as a creative, just because nobody wants your thing doesn't mean it doesn't have value.
You decide your value, right?
And I remember thinking that and I was like, you know how much shit is worth.
That's how much you think it's worth.
So they don't make the thing, but we have a cool meeting and everything's chill.
And eventually I release a special.
I go on Rogan and then shit really goes to another level.
You know what I mean?
I start touring.
I start doing these theaters around the world.
Like we're selling out.
It's fucking unbelievable.
And I go to this, it really changes comedy in a lot of ways with the clip stuff because all these agents and managers start telling their clients, yo, you got to put out clips.
And that's the thing.
And now all of a sudden we're in the share economy with clips.
And it's like been unreal to see this kind of transform comedically because it was not the zeitgeist at all, you know?
Right.
And then all of a sudden I get asked to go do this festival called JFL just for last.
I was never asked to do festivals and I get asked.
And they asked me to come up and I go, yeah, I'll come up, but I really want to do the nasty show because my favorite comic ever, Patrice O'Neill, would do the nasty show.
And I just wanted to walk in his fucking shoes because I thought he was so great and I thought it would be a cool thing.
And they say no.
And I say, all right, well, I don't need to go.
And the reason I say I don't need to go is because I have the people now.
That festival can't do anything for me because the festival is just a way to get you in front of networks, which then get you in front of people.
I got people.
So you can't offer me anything.
And when you can walk away, they don't know how to handle that.
Oh, yeah.
So when I say no, they go, all right, fine.
You could do the festival and you could do the nasty show.
And I go, no, no, no.
I'm going to do the nasty show and I'm going to do two of my other shows.
And they're like, we can't do the other shows.
I go, well, then I can't go, obviously.
Now, if you just said yes to the nasty show, we wouldn't have this.
That's a problem.
But you don't fucked up.
You let me know you really want me there.
So then they acquiesce.
We do the nasty show and then we do the two other shows.
And I have a really good JFL.
I come back from JFL and we get a call from Netflix.
Now, some of you guys know my history with Netflix.
People think I'm anti-Netflix.
I'm not.
I'm just making observations about Netflix.
When I went on that Rogan, I said Netflix is dead because I looked at the debt structure that they had and the fact that none of their original programming was successful.
It was all the things that they're releasing and those were about to time out, et cetera.
Everybody thought I was crazy.
And then now you see a lot of these articles coming out.
So Netflix give us a call and they go, hey, we want Andrew to do this show called The Degenerates.
It's a 15-minute set.
It's $25,000.
Do you want to do it?
My agent tells me about it and I go, well, I give my content away for free on Instagram.
I give it away for free on Twitter.
The money is never the issue.
It's just the right opportunity.
I'm like, I'm not against it.
The next day we get a call from Comedy Dynamics, that production company I spoke about.
They go, hey, we want to work with Andrew.
What's Andrew up to?
My agent, TJ, very intelligently says, he just got an offer from Netflix.
He doesn't say what it was for.
He doesn't say it was for 15 minutes and $25,000.
He just said he got an offer from Netflix.
So they go, wait, don't sign anything.
Give us a few days.
We're going to cook something up.
Okay.
This is getting closer to the announcement that I want to talk about.
It might be a long time.
I'm sitting on the edge of my seat because I really don't know the announcement.
I was like, I'm going to find out on there with everyone else.
So we get the call.
So what we do is we have to stall Netflix.
So we ask Netflix for a few things we know they're not going to give us.
So I asked, I want to be the first comic in the series to come out.
And I also want to have my face on the first image.
Now, Netflix is not going to give that up, right?
Unless they do.
Well, Unless they do, but they're not because they don't get it.
But also, even if they do or they don't, they have to put that through the execs.
That takes days.
So now we have days.
Okay.
Right.
In that time, we get an offer from Comedy Dynamics.
My lawyer sits me down.
Not my lawyer.
My agent sits me down.
He's so excited.
We're sitting down and he goes, okay, here's the offer from Comedy Dynamics.
And he's sitting there and he's like thrilled.
And I look at the offer.
And the offer is for my next special and it's $4 million.
Shit.
Right.
And I'm looking at it.
I'm like, dude, this is fucking amazing.
This is, you just turned $25,000 deal into a million dollar deal.
This is an amazing job.
This is so incredible.
It's a shame we have to turn it down.
When I tell you, he had a heart attack.
Dude, his face turned white.
And he's a white guy.
I don't know how white can get whiter, but it got whiter, dude.
It was hilarious.
He was translucent.
Bro, he was like a fish at the bottom of the ocean.
You know, the ones that don't have, he's a jellyfish.
That's what he was.
He's literally turned into a jellyfish.
And he's like, what do you mean?
This is everything that you asked for.
This is the deal.
And he goes, remember when we went there a year ago and you said it was a million dollars?
Well, here's a special.
And I go, yeah, that was the deal a year ago.
The price of the brick that went up.
It went up.
It's just changed, right?
It's like, if I don't value myself and I don't value what I am, then what do I have?
It's just an arbitrary Jewish man, that affects your show.
So it was one of those things.
And I literally sat there and I thought about it.
And it was one of those things that was really important to me because it wasn't about the money of the special.
But in that amount of time, I put out three specials.
I charge $0 for all of them.
I don't make my living on specials.
But the message that I wanted to do is to put out is, you know, I played a role in convincing all these comics in the world to share their content for free.
But just because you give away your content doesn't mean it's worth nothing.
It's worth whatever the fuck you want it to be worth.
So I decided what it was worth then.
And then I decided it became worth more.
So it got to be worth more.
And if you say no, guess what I'm just as happy doing?
Valuing My Own Worth00:06:23
Releasing it on YouTube, this amazing platform that gave me the success I have today.
So I say no.
That's the best I ever got when I was younger.
Say what?
Never work for cheap.
Always work for free or full price.
I love that.
Never work for cheap.
I love that shit.
So it's like, boom.
So I say no.
He freaks the fuck out.
And I go, just tell him.
He goes, no, it can't be that price because that was the price that it was last time.
It's got to be more.
Gotcha.
He comes back in two days.
We got more.
I won't tell you what it is.
I mean, it's more than a mill.
That's all I can say.
So, and again, I don't say this, you know, the amount of money is in terms of bragging, right?
It's like that amount of money has helped something else, which I'm going to talk about later in this episode that we've been waiting to talk about for you guys for months.
But what I say that is, is if you're creative and you are in this process, you don't have to be stand-up.
You could be music.
You could be art, whatever it is.
But if you're going through a similar journey that we went through, and what I mean we, I mean, obviously my team, Alex, Mark, you guys, Eden, Akash, but also all the people that have been sharing these clips and making these things relevant.
It's like you can give everything away and then use that to get a way better deal than you would ever get.
And when we did it, one of the cool things was, is that we signed it with a production company and I partnered with that production company.
That's Comedy Dynamics.
And then we got to choose where we sell the special to.
And I can't say the network right now, but I think that you guys are going to be pretty happy when I say what it is.
Okay.
And trust me, your boy is always looking at the future and what the future is going to be.
And I'm very excited to announce it.
And I'm sure we'll announce it in the upcoming months.
But the special announcement I have right now is that, yes, my first network special, one hour special is going, his deal is signed.
It's going to be filmed in Los Angeles, California, April 11th at the Orpheum Theater, the same theater as Dolomite.
And that shit meant so much to me when I saw him pull up to that theater, man, in the movie.
And I was like, because these theaters in downtown LA were so important, so special to people.
That's where they literally they would all connect and like just watch these movies and experience these like cultural waves.
And this motherfucking Dolomite, dude, he did it himself.
And he, what happens is when you build up the people, everybody wants to come work with you.
And I felt like, I felt like the stars were aligned so much when I watched that.
So I was like, nah, it's got to be there.
And yeah, we're going to do it.
So what we're doing is today, right now, as you listen to this, you can get tickets.
There's a pre-sale code.
And the reason we did pre-sale code is because I know there's certain people who have been on this journey with me for years and all around the world.
You guys deserve first dibs.
Yeah, they deserve to be there.
So Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, these days are all yours.
Pre-sale code is Matador.
You can get the link on my website, theandrestal.com.
But if you want to come, come, man.
We saved this fucking date.
We saved this specific city.
We decided to do it this specific day.
And I wanted it to be Easter weekend.
You know what I'm saying?
The resurrection.
It's important.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's Easter weekend.
It's like, I want it to be in LA.
I want it to be like in the city that said no, in the city that breaks your dreams and the city that turns you down.
It's like, nah, we're going to go do it there.
And everybody's going to bend with us.
And for me, I really see it as like the first special in the new wave of new media.
The first deal that reflects new media.
The first deal that reflects ownership.
You know what I mean?
And like partnering on a project, not just going, okay, here's my rights.
You do whatever you want with it.
But like, no, I know what my value is.
And you're going to pay me according to that value.
And I'm just really excited.
I'm really excited for that moment.
I'll just thank you.
So The Andrew Schultz died out.
If you guys want it, you have three days to go get those tickets before anybody else.
If you're flying in, I know this motherfucker is probably going to be flying in, taking trains, driving, whatever it is.
Go get them shits.
You have three days before the whole world knows about it.
And that's because I appreciate y'all so much.
Thank you so much for being on this journey, man.
Thank you.
All right, let's talk some sport.
No, I mean, like, I rare, you know, you really get emotional.
Yeah.
And Akash rarely gets emotional.
But I remember when you were here, like, legitimately, like, finalizing the deal on the phone before we call filming an episode of Flagrant 2.
Yeah.
And I just seen like, I mean, like, you've hit some doubles.
You've hit some triples, you know what I'm saying?
But, like, you had that smile on your face, like, you just hit like a fucking, like, a grand slam.
Not just a home run.
Like, you out and everybody else with you is crossing the home plate too.
And I legitimately didn't want to know.
I wanted to be like, you know, I want to find out with everybody else because I still don't know the network.
So I'm not K-fabing y'all.
I'm not fucking, you know, bullshitting y'all.
But I mean, I feel like, you know, I was a part of this journey with you for the past, it seems like, what, three years now we've been doing this fucking show?
And I remember the early days of doing this and doing episodes of Brilliant and just like, it's really fucking special when you can track the exact moment when like a trajectory changes.
You know what I'm saying?
And just like as a friend and like as somebody who's, you know what I mean?
Even before we were friends, like I was just a fan of your shit.
I just thought you were funny.
I watch the shits on the guy code like a bunch of a bet a bunch of people did.
And like just being part of this journey, man, like it's, it's, it's incredible.
It's inspiring as somebody who I think shares the same sort of work ethic, even though it's not stand-up comedy.
It's like, you know what I mean?
Like, it's just, it's just so fucking dope to see somebody deservingly get that.
And I, you know, I spoke to people and I spoke to, you know, Al and other people about like sharing the amount of money about it.
And the reason I thought it was important is because I'm not Dave Chappelle and I'm not Chris Rock.
Yeah.
And I'm not Amy Schumer.
Sharing Success Mentality00:15:40
And I'm not these people that you hear these crazy deals that are made, you know, in the millions of dollars.
I'm not them.
Yeah.
I'm not the famous person that got the big deal from Netflix because they're famous.
I'm the guy that the streets knew about.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I'm the guy that the people knew about.
And there's so many people who really, I'm even listening right now who are like, yo, you're one of my favorite comics or you're my favorite comic, but I don't know how many people know you.
Right?
That's the best type of fame to have.
Oh, it's the best.
But what I'm trying to say is like, not only for them, but also for other comics is you don't need to be them to get it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like you don't need to be the super famous person.
You don't need to be the person like grandfathered in from doing all these movies and TV shows.
You could build your shit now and get what you're worth now.
And guess what?
That's what you're worth.
That's where it starts.
So know that going into your contract negotiations with Netflix.
Know it going to your contract negotiation with Hulu, with all these other brands.
Know where it starts.
I just told you.
Oh, yeah.
And you know what?
If you can get more, good.
Get more.
That's more.
It's on some ninja shit where it's like, Ninja's a guy who the streets knew about.
And then you see this motherfucker's numbers saying the N-word politely knows.
No, no, no.
That's the word.
No, no, no.
Ninja, the video game guy.
Yeah.
He fucking left Twitch, went to a mixer because Microsoft paid him a stupid bag.
But like you hear the type of money he's getting and it's like, yo, this guy's got more money than like you're probably the best player on your favorite basketball team or football team.
And like the streets knew about this dude.
And he broke a different way of creating content where he got to create his own fucking number.
You know what I'm saying?
And my win is your win.
I don't got to share this shit with you.
I share it because I want you to come up.
And maybe you don't have what I have.
So maybe you're not going to get that much yet.
Maybe you're going to get a portion of that.
But at least you know where the benchmark is.
Oh, for sure.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, at least in the NBA, everybody knows each other's salary.
So you could go, well, shit, I'm better than Jerry Stackhouse.
Oh, yeah.
Or shit, I'm not as good as LeBron, but I'm better than whatever.
Of course.
You know, I'm better than fucking.
The most powerful thing you could do is as creatives in the same Ben Simmons, whatever, yeah.
I'm trying to think of it.
I mean, that's the whole Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz thing.
Like Carson Wentz get paid.
Dak Prescott beats him every time.
He's like, I should give my money.
So why should I get it?
But at least you know that.
In our field in entertainment, motherfuckers want to be real quiet about what they're doing.
They're very stingy about that.
That's every field.
And you know what?
That's how they use it against us.
When we don't know, you know what I'm saying?
When we don't know what we're doing and what we're worth and what we can get paid, that's when we start signing away checks.
Oh, yeah.
Because a lot of times you don't put any value on what you're worth.
And you're saving the company money.
They don't need it.
They don't need it.
Honestly, that's kind of why I've been following Stephen A. Smith.
Like, I've been on my sports kick for a long time for this past year.
And I love Stephen A. Smith because it's like, you know, you don't got to be Hove or LeBron or you can be him.
And he tells people how much money he's getting.
So I'm like, I'm on that trajectory.
I'm going to get every, I'm going to fill up every fucking field.
So eventually I know that's the benchmark.
I'm like, I'm getting that bag.
Maybe not this year, maybe not next year, but I'm getting something close to there and over that.
And it's because I've seen you do it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I've seen.
And I wanted you to get your shit off.
Three things.
When I started this journey with you, like first I was working with Brilliant for a while and I saw the work ethic of Drew and Charlemagne.
And I'm like, yo, these guys outwork everybody I've ever met in my life.
And I'm like, oh, okay.
So now it's like, I'm just picking on Jules.
I'm like, all right, one clear way to succeed is work, So I adopted that type of work ethic.
I'm like, you know what?
This should never be a time where I'm bored.
Right.
Because there's always time to do something.
So I like, that's one thing I really commend.
And then I even see it with you, Kaz, like just outworking everybody out here.
Like it's funny when people say, yo, how many jobs you got?
Like, that's a fucking hilarious thing to say.
Listen, I'll go anywhere as long as they pay me to.
The next thing, it's like you choosing to give away the formula.
At first, I was against it because I guess I came from that old mentality of like, yo, we found a way to get it.
Like, don't just give it up to everybody.
And then I saw like how appreciative other comics and even just other people in other fields are.
And then I realized Elon Musk, like he gave away the patent to like the Tesla battery.
It's like, look, still nobody is making a better electric car than him.
So I'm like, all right.
So now I see this giving mentality so fucking, it's useful.
It's needed more because a lot of people are just, they looking for their way, but they can't find their way.
They're scared.
Yeah.
It's a scarcity thing.
And then, fuck, I was one more point I forgot to make.
While you think about it, while you think about it, but I think that's what it comes from.
And we've all been scared.
We've all had like that insecurity.
Like, well, what if I give this away?
Will other people do it better?
And then I won't have it anymore.
But like, at the end of the day, it's like, we got to have confidence.
Like, if I could think of this, I could think of another thing.
Even though I could think of the next confidence.
It gives you, it puts the battery in your back to make sure you at least have the work ethic to outdo that confidence.
Facts.
Because it's like, you know, I'm saying specifically with giving away.
And also, like, who the fuck would I be to come out here on a podcast every week and say, yo, the army provides and we got to give back and we got to help each other.
And I'm not doing that for my own, you know, colleagues in comedy.
Like, I got to be, I got to be the representation of that always.
I got to give more.
I got to be giving the most always so that people under me feel, well, shit, if he's giving away that much, I got to at least.
Like, that's what Rogan did, right?
Like, Rogan transformed the comedy scene in LA because he literally just helped.
And now anybody under Rogan got to help.
Because if you don't, you're like, who the fuck are you?
You're not Rogan.
You're not bigger than this motherfucker.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
You were saying?
No, I was saying, you know, I just remember.
Oh, go ahead.
The third part I was just going to make.
It's very important to speak things into fruition and then always like practice what you preach.
Yeah.
Because I remember when I was like deciding on what, should I leave my job and do this full time?
And, you know, some of the key things you were just telling me, like, yo, hard work and like always be positive.
Even the people who shitted on you, like, just don't invite that negativity into your life.
And then you also said, I remember in that conversation, you're like, this year, I'm going for the mill.
Like, you said you're going to be a millionaire this year.
And you fucking did it.
And that's fucking amazing.
That's crazy.
Congratulations.
Dude, I remember sitting down in my apartment, going, how do I back into a million?
Meaning, like, like a million in my head was always like, well, you're just going to get one check and then that's what it's going to be.
But it's like, and randomly, this type of situation happened.
But like, but like, how do you back in?
Which is like, okay, if I'm making this much here, I'm making that much there.
I'm making that much here.
This is from a live show.
this is from this and there is a way to make the most daunting thing in the world which is like becoming a millionaire or something like that there is a way to make it accessible and it might not happen in one year it might happen in two years it might happen in three years but there's a way to break it down into smaller pieces oh i got a 100k here i got 200k here i did this that the other and the same way that you can break that million up you could break that hundred there's somebody listening right now who just wants to make six figures Yo, you can back into six figures, bro.
You can do that shit.
I'm telling you, you might be at 80 and you're like, hold up.
So if I do overtime, now I'm at 92.
And if I babysit my cousin's kid this many weeks, now I'm at 96.
There's ways to get there.
I'm telling you.
It's like, stop acting like that shit is unreachable.
Dog, I remember, and I feel like we're opening.
I feel like this is a lot of behind the scenes talk about the podcast.
But I remember like literally this time last year where I think we was all sitting in, I think, Prett, and we were just kind of like, all right, what are we going to do for next year?
I remember what's the fucking goal.
And I remember people, we were talking about, you know, changing the name of the, even adding like your name to this shit.
This is after the Rogan bump and like all this other shit that we were just kind of like plotting.
And I remember a specific thing you said is like, yo, what is your personal goal for this?
Like, what do you want to get out of this?
And I'm just like, I want to be the sports guy.
Like, I want to be the motherfucker who like, you know, there's a lot of old motherfuckers in this shit.
I want to be that next dude.
You had your specific goals.
Akash had his own specific goals.
Alex, Eden, like we all had our own shit that we were after.
And to come back 365 days later and you're a millionaire.
I'm a fucking, you know, I'm, you know, people have called me like the fucking new voice in New York Sports 100%.
Every fucking fucking Nike, I just signed a couple deals with Adidas and Under Armour with no fucking, you know, exclusivity to any of them.
You know what I mean?
Like just a bunch, a bunch of shit.
Akash is in fucking his home country.
Son, Akash's dream has always been to like perform for his people.
And the fact that he's gone there twice this year to do shows.
God.
You know what I mean?
It's fucking insane what you can do when, and granted, you know, people probably listen to this and they're like, oh, God, get to the jokes.
But sometimes you need to hear this shit.
It's the end of the year.
You know what I'm saying?
You need to.
It's important time to reflect.
And I'm not one of these motherfuckers that waits for the new year to do everything different.
I never made a New Year's resolution in my life because the resolution starts when you need it.
But it is important.
I feel like it is important to reflect.
Say what?
That's a boss.
It's true, right?
But it is important to reflect on the ability of it.
Like Akash went in one year from being almost homeless to getting married.
You know what I'm saying?
You're not the flossiest fucking wedding.
That's a glow up right there, right?
So it's like, and I just, I just know, and I know it sounds so crazy in times.
And again, I don't define anything by the money.
I've never done a single thing in my life to make money specifically, like a single project that I wanted to do, right?
It's like, but I knew that we had something great here and I knew that there was something missing in the world here, you know, and I knew that the flagrancy would be so refreshing to people.
And the way that like it's caught on and the way that like, I mean, just chucking up the asshole when someone sees you, bro.
It's fucking crazy, bro.
It's a squad, bro.
It's an army out there.
It's more than that at this point.
It's a fucking thing.
Like, I've always told people, my only goal.
It's a whole cult, bro.
We out here with a cult, dog.
My only goal in life was to just be marks on a timeline.
You know what I mean?
Like, if there's a timeline of shit and you got one of those indents, those marks, it's like, all right, whether it's podcasting, comedy, sports, content creating, whatever the fuck this whole hodgepodge of things is.
We have a mark on podcasting, the way comedy is done, the way sports is talked about, all that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm glad you're bringing this up, Kaz.
And that is a fucking that is worth more than any fucking check.
Just knowing that people innovation.
Innovation.
Yeah.
Why are you pushing it to the next level?
When it was fucking hard for a lot of motherfuckers just to be.
I was one of the people.
I was one of those people.
I was like, man, I don't know what to do about it.
I don't know.
My catchphrase at one point was, I ain't touching that.
Yeah, I'm not touching it.
Now I'm just like, now let's go.
Fuck it.
Because there's value and fuck it, man.
Because when you have the people, they can't take anything away from you.
I have no fear, man.
They cannot take anything away.
And I'll tell you, when you talk about innovation, that brings us to the next thing.
I think that I've been waiting to tell y'all this about this for so long, man.
And you guys have heard me tease about it forever.
But I told you, you know, earlier, and I probably told a million times on this podcast, is that the only reason for me making money is so that I can push these projects that I have further so I can take care of my friends.
I can take care of my family.
So I can produce content in the most authentic way.
That's all I've ever wanted to do.
I don't want to have to bend to a network standard or these types of things when we have the ability to create this content ourselves.
And when we started doing this deal, you know, and it looked like the deal was going to go through, I pulled the trigger on something that you guys are going to see in the new year.
And that is we have a new content facility in Brooklyn, New York.
It is, it is going to house Flagrant 2.
We have another podcast that I'm starting called Schultz, and we'll give you more details about that in the future.
But that's just one-on-one interviews, similar to the one I did with James Altoucher or Cypher Sounds, Miko Grimes, like these kind of like long-form interviews where I'm talking to these people who have really interesting story or perspective I want to share.
It's got another studio, which is a generic podcast studio for new projects.
Maybe Kaz wants to do something.
Maybe Al or Eden wants to do something.
Maybe these other people we want to support can go in there and we can give them a real platform, a real space where they can create and upgrade their current situation because we know what it's like to be in a situation that needs to be upgraded.
We got the green screen studio so we can create content.
And this is one of the coolest parts for me: we have a live performance space.
So I'm talking about screening, a special, doing live comedy shows, watching NFL games.
I mean, like seating, the whole nine yards.
So intimate, you know, maybe 50 people, maybe a little bit more than that.
But the fact that we have all this in our studio, editing bays for Alex, Mark, Eden, anybody else on the team, like legit, so they're not on their fucking laptops typing away, but like the real fucking deal.
And I mean, like, full lighting, rigging, full, we upgraded the cameras.
We have these like amazing, cool new cameras that we're working with.
And right now, the guys are out there building it.
Some of you guys might have noticed this.
We've had the two biggest do-it-yourself guys on YouTube.
We got Ben Uyeda and Mike Montgomery.
You can check out their YouTube.
They have tons of stuff.
They've done the biggest deals.
They've designed the studio.
We did state of the art, like, I mean, soundproofing, none of this fucking bullshit.
I'm talking about the real deal.
And we have one thing that I think is going to change podcasting forever.
And I can't wait for you guys to see it.
But all I'll say is this.
Say goodbye to microphones.
This shit right in front of your face, the whole fucking podcast.
Don't want that.
This big fluffy thing.
And I'm not talking about lavaliers like they do on TV.
I'm talking about a new technology that's not even available in the consumer market yet.
We got in contact with this great company who's been doing all of our audio visual stuff.
And shout out to Overtone Sounds that did all of our custom sound paneling.
They were great.
You're going to hear all about these guys in the near future.
But we got this new thing, and it will, I think, change the visual for podcasts forever.
I truly believe if we do it right.
I just heard the first sound test today, and they sound unbelievable.
You can't even believe that you get good quality audio without a microphone in your face.
So it's like what we want to do is innovate.
And I knew if I was given any kind of money or power, I would invest that in what we're doing and creating more content.
So thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to do that.
Innovating Audio Quality00:06:20
We get to some flagrancy, but I'm very excited for this new year, man.
Man, shout out to everybody who's rocked with us.
New year.
Newer.
I know we've never done like, it was only like literally my only nugget of this show.
We've never done any like 100 episodes, 200 episodes, one year anniversary, none of that shit.
But I feel like every single year we've kind of leveled up.
And like this upcoming 2020 is going to fucking like, if you've been rocking with us for this long, man.
Oh, get ready.
Oh, shit.
You're going to make y'all proud.
If you think we deliver a lot of content now, it's about to be the next level, man.
And Kevin, I would feel bad as a black man to let you go the rest of this episode.
You got to fix your Durag.
Oh, motherfuckers.
My bad.
I just noticed it.
I just noticed it.
Damn it.
I got you.
I had my velvet on, too.
Fuck you.
Thank you, Alex.
I appreciate that.
I like how you describe your velvet as silky.
Oh, that's not.
Velvet is the material.
It isn't.
Niggas knew exactly.
They're called silky.
It's a silky.
It doesn't matter what fabric the zurac is.
It's still called the silky.
No matter what.
That shit could be made of fucking polyester.
It's like, oh, yeah, you got my silky.
The silky isn't a material.
It's not a material.
It's a feeling.
It's what you feel in here.
When you feel the waves waving up in your head, it's like, all right, I got my silky on.
Who decided that the waves were good?
That the waves are the thing.
Have you seen Usher?
No, no, no, man.
I think waves look really cool, but when did that become like fashionable?
Man, I'll tell you.
I mean, for me personally, this is when I first saw Mace with them.
Mace is like the flyiest fucking thing.
Even before that, you had finger waves back.
I wasn't on the finger waves, though.
No, but I mean, like, that's it.
It's been around for a minute.
It hasn't been around.
Women actually had it popping first, like, when they had like short haircuts, but they would do fucking relaxer.
I'm getting really into deep black hair culture shit, right?
Relaxer is almost like a perm for white folks.
What makes your hair puffy makes women's hair or black people's hairs silky?
Silky, yeah.
So they'd put the white shit in the hair, relax it, and it would make it wavy and take the sideburns and all this other shit and make it that.
Shit, you could even go back to like the soul days when motherfuckers was perming that shit out like, you know, the Malcolm X shit.
Oh, yeah, I forgot what they call it.
What did they call it in that?
Not a jerry curl.
No, no, no.
But they was like a process.
Or maybe they did call it a perm or whatever.
Yeah, my mom called it a perm.
What's up, Big Worm?
I'm Big Perm.
Big Perm, Big Sherm.
What's up, Big Perm?
I mean, Big Worm.
Shout out to Jal Rose.
I talked to him today about his pristine hairline.
And what he's saying is that.
Is he on PEDs?
Is he having any hair?
I had a good conversation with him today.
You can check it out in Big Apple Buckets.
And he was just saying, like, you know, I got great jeans.
He does.
Bro, look at that shit.
That ain't great jeans, so that's a barbershop picture.
Go back and look him in the fat five days.
No, I know he's always had a great hair.
I mean, to keep it that pristine.
That shit is perfectly coffed.
I can't believe a black man that age, he's got to be pushing almost 45, 50 of this.
I'm going with the PDs when they're.
Man, listen.
My shit starts going.
I got a finish line.
I feel like going for it right now.
I got a finish line for my shit.
I'm either coming home, I'm either going mall or I'm getting the brawn treat, man.
It reaches a certain level.
Why would you not get LeBron?
That's what I don't understand.
And I'm not doing this honestly to plug any company that we use, but like I balding is a choice.
Yeah.
It's a choice now.
But you got to get on it before.
It's when Cash got to be proactive.
And then they realize it.
Yeah, the second you notice, you got to get on the pills.
Yeah.
I've been trying to do the shit, but I keep forgetting to do the fucking doctor's thing, whatever.
Yeah, what you gotta do?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell me about that.
What you gotta do, Kashmir?
New hems.
You know what I mean?
You just do him.
I don't know if they're gummies.
I take pills.
I cut them shits up.
Yeah, every single day.
Oh, gosh, I need to do that now.
But no, the reason why I just want to love it.
The reason why they like the Braun shit is because Braun, like, when his shit is bad, like, it looks bad.
It looks stupid.
Like, once the shit, like, I'm pretty sure with him, it just didn't work.
Like, I'm pretty sure he wasn't.
It's not going to work for everybody.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm pretty sure he did everything he could.
It just didn't take him.
Once the guy's got all of them.
He's got to handle handling.
Like, Torrey Lane's, it didn't work for him.
No, I did.
Charlamagne called the Trap Toupe.
Trap 2Pay, yeah.
But like, Tori thinks it worked for him, which is cute.
But if you look at his hair, it looks odd.
Yeah.
His hair looks odd.
But it's still in the growing process.
It takes time.
Oh, like you've seen it get progressively better.
Yeah, because Tigers.
He just couldn't wait to show it off.
Here's the thing.
Tigers, every shit is kind of crispy, too.
Because the thing about Tigers is like, so Tori's, when it grows out, it looks like baby hairs.
Yeah, like this is it right here, right?
Yeah.
Like when it grows out, it just don't look right.
But Tigers, he could actually twist.
And that's how you know the hair is strong.
I don't think he's fully black, though.
I think that was Tiger.
Yeah, I think.
See, look at that shit.
This shit came back from the brink, yo.
Wait, go back right now.
It's over, bro.
Holy fuck.
Look at that.
That's my finish.
That's my finish line right there.
He looks like a turtle in the left one, right?
And he looks Dominican in the right one.
He came back to Dominican, dude.
Son.
Look at it.
He got his hair twisted.
Look, go back up, back, go back up.
Look at this.
Something's off there, right?
Yeah, no, it's too, it's too.
It's like he transferred pubes.
It's almost like somebody got the wrong type of hair.
Yo, Drew.
Yeah.
Can you pay for me to get the treatment and we document the whole thing as concept?
You're not even on camera.
Yo, your hair is fine.
What are you talking about?
Your hair is fine.
Your hair is good.
If I could bring the hairline down, take a hat off.
How many?
You go.
My shit is fine.
Yeah, but if it goes down.
My shit is on the brink, bro.
Hold on.
Let me take my shit off.
You take like 10 years off your age.
Like, my shit is on the brink, bro.
So now you're going to be able to.
Nah, you know, y'all just got big-ass foreheads, honestly.
Also, you got freaking expectations for your hair.
Africans never got the crispy hairline.
That shit always goes back.
But still, bro, like, a lot of Africans got some crispy shit.
Who?
And my shit.
I mean, fuck.
I mean, Andre Egu Dala, great hairline.
I got to see Andre Budale because I don't know.
Because Ethiopians be having all the forehead, bro.
It's like known.
Hairline Treatment Concept00:02:46
Yeah.
Pretty sharp hairline.
Finn.
That's you.
His is way back.
Yeah, but you see the corner.
It's all in the corners, bro.
So in corner, you're shooting shit.
Like, if your corners ain't, if your shit ain't sharp, like, if you got, if your shit like grooves, like, you know, when you run a route, you know what I'm saying?
And, like, the shit not sharp.
Like, if your shit, if your shit is Amari Cooper, your shit is good.
If you're running routes like fucking Wayne Crabette, like Wayne Crebette, just Kirby, running those Jarvis Landscape.
I didn't say wheel.
Why are you running a wheel?
Run a slant, motherfucker.
Sharp hairline, anyway.
We'll get y'all hairlines.
We'll glow up.
This is going to be a fun year, 2020.
I fucking can't wait.
2028 hairline.
So guys, we got to start with some flagrancy.
Let's get into that, man.
I had a...
Oh, and shout out to everybody who came to Barclay Center this past Friday.
Yo, man, congrats on that.
That looked amazing.
It was fantastic, man.
All in New York.
Shout out to Casanova, The Locks, Just Blaze, Dipset, Cam, Joel's, Fibio Farren, whole Duce Plus a team.
Everybody who bought a ticket, we sold that bitch out.
It was fantastic, man.
Thank y'all for coming through.
Also, I just want to say that that's incredible to see what the Duce show has turned into, man.
This is fucking unreal because, I mean, Webster Hall, that was a massive success.
I grew up a few blocks from Webster Hall.
And, I mean, that's a fraction of the size of the Barclay Center.
Bro, to do it at that level is unbelievable, man.
It is abs.
Thank you so much, man.
It takes a fucking village to put that thing together.
So, shout out to the whole team.
Obviously, you know who you are.
And, man, can't wait to do it again.
Man, it is.
Oh, yeah.
Another thing I just want to say before we move on to some flagrant thoughts and some flagrancy is that it's important to me that the New York comedy scene knows that this new space that we haven't named yet, but we're going to name it is not only investment in the content that we're making, but investment in New York comedy.
So, if there's ways that I could help comics in New York, I want to do that and I want to know.
And it is important to me to give back and give opportunities because obviously the only reason I'm able to do this is because other people gave me opportunities that didn't have to.
So, this is an investment in New York comedy, and New York comedy is on the rise.
And I feel like we're going to be in a good place.
And I feel like we're adopting some of those values that made the LA scene so successful in the last few years.
So, I'm really bullish on New York comedy in the future.
And I'm going to make sure that we make sure that we get to the promised land again, 100%.
Now, flagrancy.
Let's talk about it.
Let's go to it, man.
I'm in LA.
Yeah.
Okay.
I do a show at the comedy store.
Okay.
Jeremiah Watkins' show, my favorite show to do while I'm in LA.
Investing in New York Comedy00:08:32
He's fucking hilarious.
Great guy.
Obviously, he was on the show.
He has a show called Stand Up on the Spot.
People yell things at you.
You just do a joke based on that in the moment.
It's a great show.
No planned material.
Everything has to be on plan.
Great show.
I go, I'm about to leave the comedy store.
Right before I leave, Emily, woman who runs the comedy store, goes, Schultz, they have a show in the main room.
Main room is a beautiful room, 400 seats.
It's Bill Bird, Joey Diaz, Greg Fitzsimmons.
Can you do a spot?
I go, I would be honored to do a spot with those guys.
Let's go do it.
As we're walking in the back, she goes, Hey, just want to let you know this show is like for like people on the spectrum.
And I go, Wait a minute, like, it's for retards, right?
And then she goes, She goes, No, Like, they're like in like a halfway house.
And I'm like, oh, halfway house.
That's like drugs or like, okay.
Like, you know, I thought on the spectrum of society, like, like, these people are on the front.
No, like, oh, these are murderers.
No, I'm walking in the back.
I see some guys, like, some white dudes with these like long beards, like biker guys.
I'm like, oh, these guys are legit.
And I get excited because it's like, well, they're not going to be offended by anything.
This is like my perfect audience.
Like, people who have done all the things I'm going to talk about.
All of a sudden, my material is relatable.
Right?
It's like, if I'm going to speak about the worst shit, and I got the guys in there like, you know, stabbing does suck sometimes.
They're probably looking at you like, oh, yeah, Deb Bundy, he's the man.
Whatever it is, right?
And so I'm hyped.
I'm about to, I'm like, I'm going in.
Yeah.
I go on stage, first couple jokes.
And listen, I'm not one of these motherfuckers that just goes, yo, I killed.
Like, there's these comedies that say they killed, right?
No matter how they do.
I was, I was, I was killing, bro.
I was going hard and I'm fucking bodying these motherfuckers.
And I get to this final joke.
And it's a joke I'll only do if I really like a crowd.
Okay.
And it's a joke about retards, right?
But it's also about other shit.
Okay.
But so I get into this.
You guys know the joke.
You might know the joke.
And again, I got to really like the crowd because the joke is fucking wild.
Like it is wild.
But it's one of those things.
Like, if we're all on board, you're going to laugh in a way that's different.
You are laughing in a different way at this joke, right?
So I go, I start doing a joke, and I'm not getting really anything from the audience.
I was murdering it.
Now this shit is real quiet.
So I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
I keep on doing the joke.
I get them up to make maybe 50%, but it just was not the same as it was in the beginning.
I was like, man, that's weird at the end.
I walk off stage and the back and backstage is Joey Diaz.
And Joey Diaz looks at me and goes, Hey, kid, why'd you do the retard joke?
I'm like, What do you mean?
He goes, There's a room full of retards.
It's a benefit for retards.
Why would you do that?
I was like, Are you fucking kidding me?
I go, Are you kidding me?
He goes, He goes, No, man, don't worry about it.
They'll forget about it.
They're retarded.
So I go, I go into the back room.
I'm just screaming at these people.
I was like, Why aren't they fucking getting this?
Turns out they were really offended by what was going on.
Oh my God, that was the one you crossed the line.
Bro, I felt, bro, I felt so fucking bad about that shit.
I'm like, oh, no, dude, I did.
First time ever.
I saw you.
So he actually generally felt bad.
The sound guy came down one point during time.
He goes, dude, that was ballsy.
I go, I go, dude, I didn't know.
I wasn't trying to be like on the spectrum.
Like, that's, that's kind of, that's kind of far.
So if they were retards, and she said no.
It's far reaching.
She said halfway half.
How do you think people get to jail?
By being retarded?
Yeah, most of the time.
They don't, they don't.
For real.
But here's the thing.
It turns out she did mean on the spectrum.
Yeah.
Here's the craziest thing.
The first comic that went up, partially retarded.
He's backstage with me and I apologize.
And I didn't know he was retarded.
I thought he was just a comic.
Oh, good.
Because some of these, because some comics do this thing where they play into how weird they are.
They just do this.
Like, I'm autistic temperature.
Idiosyncrasies and stuff.
And it's just like, okay, you could do that.
No, no, no.
I'm really retarded.
So I thought he was one of those.
I thought he was just like this weirdo guy that's like leaning into the weirdo.
I got to hear how he said it, though.
No, no.
So I go, I go, dude, am I bad about the whole thing?
He doesn't even know I'm talking about that.
He's like, he goes, he's like, he's like, yeah, I thought I had a weird set, too.
And I was like, oh, no, dude, I'm locked in this conversation.
I am locked in.
I can't do anything.
Right?
I got to fucking leave.
Dude, I had to.
These cookies are tasty.
He was like, what?
I had to literally leave through the back entrance because if I walked through that fucking crowd and one of them grabbed me with that retard strike and just sat me down the whole time.
Halfway house retard strength is different.
Son.
They fucking, most of the time, they body people.
It's not with strategy.
It's like, oh, I like to play.
Choke, choke, choke all shit.
Who's dying?
I was like, oh, fuck.
Son.
Son, it was good.
And we're going to play Steel to Bacon with me.
Anyway, so that's my flagrant thought of the week.
Can you talk about what happened in Connecticut?
What happened?
Oh, my God.
What happened in Connecticut?
This is a joke.
This same joke.
This is worse.
Jesus Christ.
This same joke.
I was about to say it, like, you know, your fucking audience.
This same joke is fucking going crazy, dude.
That's why I can't bring it out always.
I can't bring it out always.
But I do, bro.
So it's, so I was in Connecticut and there's this girl in the audience and she's just like being one of these annoying fucking drunk girls.
It's just going, woo!
Like randomly a joke.
Like, that's not how you react to a joke, but you're like, woo!
Like, she keeps saying it.
And I give her a couple warnings.
I'm like, hey, you can't just yell out because it's distracting.
You could yell out during like a silent pause that I'm actually as part of the bit.
Like, you're just fucking a flow up.
Woo!
And I go, if you do it again, I'm kicking you out.
I know that you're being enthusiastic, but you're just distracting everything.
So you're going to have to get kicked out, right?
And I do the retard joke, and she just goes, woo!
At the end, I go, that's it.
You got to go.
You got to go.
I get kicked out.
I kicked this girl out, right?
I finished the show.
After the show, people came to come up to you.
You came up to me?
Alex comes up to me.
Like, dude, did you know the girl you kicked out was fully retarded?
So she was just relating to the bit.
She was into it.
She's like, I've been waiting for this part the whole night.
You're gonna do a joke.
I kicked her ass at the one joke she actually got.
I was on full panic mode.
Dude, Allie's like, you gotta go out there, like, smooth this over.
She could like write a letter.
I'm like, write a letter.
Who are you gonna write a letter?
There's one thing she's not gonna do.
She got the fucking crayon in her hand upside down.
Oh, man.
I have told you.
This is always the slow jokes of people just yelling.
That never happened.
Just going for it today.
I told you, this is probably like your funniest joke because it's not the most clever, but it's just raw, fucking funny.
It's just intense.
It's a hits shoot.
That shit hits you.
Like, the way people laugh at it is different.
They laugh differently.
No, no, no, no.
If they laugh like this, they just go, oh, like their eyes go wide and they're like, what is happening?
Dude, I got a piece so bad.
Can we pause for a second?
Yeah, sure.
I got a piece of bad.
And I'm back.
Did we finish that combo?
I forget.
No, you left off.
It was heavy.
You left off on the way they laugh.
And I think people laugh that way because it's real.
Dude, we all have that thing inside of us where we know what to laugh.
Well, not us because we're pieces of shit.
But like most people have that thing where like they kind of like stop themselves knowing they're not supposed to laugh at it, but like in the back of the head, it's funny.
And I think that part of your brain kind of reverses.
Like you laugh first, then they try to catch it like, oh, dude.
And that's why it's like, I bust it out if I really like a crowd.
And one of the great things that we've curated is we've removed that kind of like taking a moral stance about jokes with my audience.
Right.
It's like they come out there for it.
And for me, like there's a lot of people that can do like clever bits, right?
Like you see like a lot of like one-liners, like misdirection, that kind of shit like that.
For me, clever should always be the addition on the bit.
Laughing at Real Fighting00:15:44
Right?
It should start out at like raw funny.
Like Patrice O'Neill started out raw funny and then added the clever.
Yeah.
But it starts out in this visceral real place.
Harassment Day.
Boom.
Boom.
But then it gets clever.
Yes.
We at least have sexual harassment day.
Hilarious.
There's nothing clever about that sentence.
It's just a hilarious fucking idea.
And then you add the clever after.
And that's what I love about that bit is like we start in this fucking raw place and then we turn it into some funny but whatever.
It doesn't matter.
My bad if there was any you know retards at that show that were like offended by it or whatever.
That's not my intention.
My intention is that we all laugh.
The joke isn't even making fun of retards.
It's making fun of another group.
But I won't even, I won't, I won't get to I won't tell too much of that.
We'll save that for the special.
God damn, yeah.
Hey, there it is.
Can I tell you one of the greatest sports moments of all time happened this past weekend?
Please, because we have a lot of.
Woo!
Kamaro Usman.
Bro.
My God.
Okay.
So let's talk about the Nigerian nightmare.
This guy who hasn't seen it.
MMA fight.
It was an amazing fight.
Amazing fight.
Kamaro Usman fights Colby Covington.
Many of you guys know Colby Covington.
He's the interesting thing about Colby is he is playing a character.
There's a gimmick.
He's healing it up.
He's healing it up.
And his heel is that he's this MAGA Trump supporter.
Yes.
He's got the Trump shout out.
He came to the cage with Candace Owens.
The whole thing.
He came out with the Make America Great Again hats, all that.
The whole thing.
And what's interesting is that he was kind of like toiling in obscurity until he leaned into this character.
And now he kind of like, what's his face?
Henry Zejudo.
Not the other guy.
He fought a white dude.
He does commentary now.
Chail Sunny.
Chail Sunnin.
There you go.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So, like, he realized that you need antics.
He went with these type of antics.
Yes.
And I mean, from my understanding, from what I've been told, is that he has a guy who worked for the WWE writing for him.
Oh, yeah.
And he writes all his stuff and he has papers that he's memorizing before he goes.
He's fucking reading the Trump Jr. book during the press conference, the triggered book.
100%.
And shit.
So he's on.
He even said he's going to try and go to the WWE after this.
So he fights Kamaru Usman and Usman fights this really brilliant fight.
But Colby fought a good fight too.
It was a very competitive fight.
It came out like a bat out of hell.
Colby won the first round.
Yeah, he was debatable about the second one.
It was a close fight, but Kumaru is a brilliant fighter and he made adjustments.
He started attacking the body.
Colby had never really been hit like that to the body.
He slowed him down.
Slowed him down and took away some of his energy.
What is the word I'm looking for?
I guess it's speed.
Not speed.
Not a speed.
It's your cardio.
Right.
Endurance.
Body shots remove that fucking endurance.
And Kumaru Usman slowly broke him down.
And then that fifth round, TKO'd him.
But like really brilliant, methodical fight.
He was so poised and like so his game plan, he made a switch.
Most fighters can't make a switch because he was outboxed in that first round.
Oh, yeah.
It was mostly stand-up.
Oh, and so because what happened is both of them are wrestlers that are elite and they neutralize each other's wrestling.
So they're like, listen, we could spend all day trying to go down and sprawl.
Fuck it.
We're going to stand up here and kick and punch.
And in the first round, I was like, oh, Colby's going to TKO this guy.
I thought Colby was going to win for that.
Kamara made a fucking change.
And that is a brilliant fighting move.
If you can, in the midst of war, make a change, you're a next-level fighter.
That fuck is discipline as fuck.
Discipline.
It's a fucking, it's a wrestling background, dude.
It's a great fight to watch if you're a casual like myself.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Because it's the most exciting part of MMA.
It's not this wrestling like on the ground shit.
No, it's like watching a real life street fight.
It's like, what would happen if you just got a bunch of cars and around in a circle and you just had two guys just fucking go at it?
You got one guy who is the Nobel champion, Nigerian man, doesn't really talk much, very strong sound type.
And you got this fucking like myself.
Then you got this white man who is playing up the heel.
And the great part about it was, and if you watch wrestling, sometimes crowds swing.
And if you see Kobe coming to the cage, you know, this is UFC country.
This is like a lot of motherfuckers who like that make America great against shit.
Motherfuckers was chanting USA for that dude like a lot of the time during the fight.
And as the fight wore on, and they saw like the warrior fucking spirit in this dude, just chop this dude down little by little, broke his fucking jaw with a mean, I think it was a left hand, mean fucking hand straight right, straight right.
Straight right.
Mean fucking right hand, broke his jaw.
Give it to Kobe, though, because the motherfuckers, he's tough.
Son, they both fought brilliantly.
Great fucking fight.
Here's the thing.
And this is the crazy thing.
If I thought the stoppage was early, but I'm not upset at it.
I think that Colby was defending himself.
I think that Kumaro could have got the stoppage very easily, but I thought it was a little early.
But if he makes it through the fifth round, they looked at the scorecards, and I think two of them were tied or something.
But it was different because I was listening to Rogan.
Rogan said they got to fire the fucking scorecard, judges, because those motherfuckers don't know what they're doing.
Because he thought, obviously, Kamaru fought the better fight, but I'm watching it.
I'm listening to the crowd.
I'm listening to the bullshit.
Besides the fifth round, by the fourth round, by the third or fourth round, I was literally watching it like this result's going to piss me off because they're going to get the distance.
And I think they're going to give it to this dude, Kobe, you know?
I mean, I'm pissed off that I would have liked, I would have liked a questionable decision just because it creates a trilogy potential.
And there's nothing better than these two guys going back and forth about it.
I think they'll go back at it again.
Here's the problem.
I hope they do, but here's the problem.
And they should.
But if it went to a decision, at least for Kumar, who deserved it, because I think he won bare minimum three rounds convincingly, right?
Of what I saw.
If it's a decision, he can always dispute the decision and go, let's run it back.
You can't dispute a knock.
You can't dispute getting your ass fucking whooped like that, right?
So there's less of an impetus for the rematch.
But I think that if he gets a couple more impressive victories, you will see it.
And where Kobe fucked up is because even like with all the antics that, you know, generally, personally, I'm not a fan of, but as a fan of wrestling and drama and all this other shit, I'm like, I get what you're doing.
This is dope.
I'll pay to watch this.
The thing he should have done is said, Kamara fought a great fight.
I did what I had to do, yada, yada, yada.
He sprints from the fucking.
Yeah, it was really weird.
Real pussy shit.
He was talking wildcat shit the entire fucking lead up.
I don't even think he did a fucking press conference.
Maybe because I don't know if he had to go to the hospital or whatever.
Like, he didn't do the press conference.
And then the first thing he does is get on Twitter and bitch out the ref and bitch out the scorecards and all this other shit.
And say it's an early stoppage.
He's like, my dude, you won me over.
Even like personally, I didn't want you to win because I don't fuck with your, you know, the things that you're talking about.
But during the fight, you're looking on the timeline.
The motherfucker's like, yo, say what you want about this motherfucker, Kobe.
He's tough as shit.
Like, he's tough as shit.
He's going at it.
And then he just kind of went back to bitching shit.
Like, normally people do their fucking in the bedroom.
Well, like, the motherfucker's going to kill you, Then.
Here's my thinking is like, if you thought that he hated immigrants before this fight, do you know what I mean?
If you thought he was, if he was a gimmick or a character in MAGA, he's definitely MAGA.
Now he is, I think this is what took him to get on board.
Oh, no, I don't.
I obviously, I absolutely do not think he's playing a character.
I just think he's doing it.
No, he was.
I think he's doing, I think he's doing what he really believes.
He's turning it up to 11.
So here's the thing that's what he said, right?
That's what he said.
That like, oh, I finally got the courage to do what's inside me.
But he needs to say that because if it comes out, he's a gimmick.
But like, literally, I was talking to Shaub, you know, Brandon Shaw.
He does, you know, Fighter and the Kid, and he does a food truck diary.
So they did a food truck diaries.
He's like going over what he has to say when they slap the camera.
And then Shaub is like, bro, you don't have to do this.
If you want, we can just do it normal.
And he goes, no, I got to do it.
Reluctantly.
And then he's talking to, you know, he like hires girls to be with him.
And he's like, could you girls like, I don't know, maybe massage my back or something during, like, the whole thing is shtick.
So it's like, and he's exhausted by the shtick.
Yeah.
But at the same point, he's almost out of UFC if he doesn't do the shtick.
You pay him, bro.
You got to do it.
You have to do that shit.
You have to do that shit.
Have you seen this fucking this video?
But wait, Drew, you don't think he's in this Republican?
You don't think at all?
Dude, he was best friends with all these guys, like Jorge Masvedal, like all these dudes.
Like they were all homies.
Like there's even a point once when he was in like Florida and like some Muslim dudes like run up on him and they're like, how do you feel about the Muslim faith or something like that?
And he's like, and like they caught him when he's not like character character.
And he goes, no, I love, I love Muslims.
It's great.
It's like you should believe in whatever you want.
Like, it's so hilarious to see like Twitter get so excited.
And legit journalists, sports journalists were getting excited about it.
Andreas was going in.
But like, you know, he's faking it.
It's like, it's like getting seriously happy about like the Undertaker losing because you hate dead people or something.
Here's my thing.
Like, oh, I hate people who come back from the dead.
Finally, someone got him.
John Cena got him.
He's like, wait, are you taking this at face value?
Like, you're a journalist.
Like, you know, the real review.
What I think is, and Andreas is a smart fucking dude.
Andreas is so funny.
That motherfucker acts like there's a hurricane around his mentions.
If you look at anybody who tweets him, they're fake.
He's like, all these MAGA people in my mentions.
I'm looking at them.
They got no followers and they're no, no.
It's like that's them, though.
Like, I get that shit too.
I think Andreas made all those accounts.
No, those bots and shit are real as fuck.
But I guess if it is shtick, great.
That's stick for him.
Yeah, but if you're not.
That doesn't mean like hundreds of thousands of people aren't watching.
Like, yeah, fuck those niggas up.
Like, yo, but here's the thing: what you should do is, if you really wanted to fight it.
Yeah, that's what they sound like.
I know it's rough.
It's hard to do it.
But if you want to fight it, what you do is this.
You go, hey, this is shtick.
Any of you guys following this, you're idiots.
It's fake.
Expose the gimmick.
But he doubled down, though.
Of course, he's going to double down.
But I Connor did that too.
Connor had shtick.
Connor was never this kind of thing.
When he was fighting homeboy, Russia.
I didn't believe Connor.
100%.
When he's fighting Russia, dude, he's like, bro, like, after a fucking dude hopped the fence, he's like, dude, I'm just trying to sell tickets, man.
I'm just trying to get buys.
Like, he wasn't trying to disrespect the homeboy.
I forgot.
I forgot to do his name.
The dude with the fucking.
Khabib.
Khabib.
Yeah, he wasn't trying to disrespect.
Oh, man.
I'm just trying to sell tickets, dude.
After you take the L, like, this is the most cringy shit.
Did you see this?
No.
Henry Coweto.
Sejudo.
Yeah.
Sejudo.
Whatever.
I don't speak Mexican.
I'm just kidding.
God, I love this shit.
Press play.
This is the most cringe-worthy.
Want to talk shtick.
So, upon my return, I really did want to fight Dominique Cruz.
If I thought about it, he's cheap.
Actually, I'm not here to talk about Dominic.
I'm here to talk about Jose Waldo.
I want to give him a clock in his last performance before people thought he won.
I want to congratulate him because now he's part of the Headers of Little Snoop Sticks.
But it's under my terms.
I want to fight him in my city.
Rio de Janeiro.
This is great.
Daddy's coming home.
Dana White, let's sign that contract.
Oh, goddamn it.
This is great.
Yeah, this is good.
Your movie sucks.
What do you say?
Your movie sucks.
Yeah.
Look at you, man.
That's how you sell tickets.
That is how you sell tickets.
God damn it.
If they keep doing this, it's going to be the.
They're going to take over WWE.
That's all UFC's been missing.
And why wouldn't you watch this instead of WWE?
This is real stakes.
But everybody's getting hip to it, though, man.
Everybody's getting hip to it to the game WWE plays.
Everybody watches the UFC.
It's like, yo, this is real fighting.
This is real fucking action.
This is real stakes.
Real money's on the line.
Why isn't this more popular than the WWE?
Nobody's watching WWE for action.
I mean, some people are.
I do.
For the drama.
I watch it.
They watch it for the drama.
They're watching for the storyline.
You got to bring people in.
You got to tell a fucking story.
We watch people.
We got YouTube now.
We can watch motherfuckers fight in the street any fucking day.
We can watch people die before that blood.
Like, we need some shit to get emotionally invested in.
And that's what a UFC has lacked for the past couple years.
Every super popular or successful UFC spider has had a fucking shit.
This is fucking shit.
Or a storyline.
Go to this.
Go to Twitter and find the promo.
And I post it for the Connor McGregor-Donald Cerroni fight.
Have you guys seen this promo video?
Oh, cold.
This is cold.
Unbelievable.
I've fucked around on Baltimore Proper 12 over the weekend just because of the fucking just because of the video.
And nobody's paying me to say this.
It's quite delicious.
Is it really?
It is actually really good.
I like it better than Jameson.
I like it better than Jameson.
Oh, okay.
I like it better than Jesus.
It's a whiskey.
It's the same.
It's the same.
It's kind of.
Okay, go to the beginning.
Can we do volume on this or what?
No, no, no.
All right, let's pump this up.
But the UFC motherfucking needs that guy back more than anything.
Connor McGregor.
We can play the audio for the SoundCloud, but maybe we'll just mute it for YouTube.
Just mark the time and then we'll get it.
Do we even talk over this while we're just mark the time and then we'll okay when Conor McGregor fights?
You're witnessing something that becomes among him once in a lifetime.
The song is great.
So it's just Connor knocking motherfuckers out.
Prime Connor.
Jose Aldo, sit down, son.
Seven seconds.
Don't worry.
We won't have to deal with this much longer.
Look at that.
Oh.
God damn it.
It's all good.
Don't worry.
Prime Connor Knockout Moment00:06:38
This is a great shot.
The wealth.
Dude.
He's like, I'll need to fight for the fucking money.
God damn it.
You see my car?
See my fit?
This shot.
This shot.
How do you know I'm room for that?
Motherfucking cowboy.
On the white horse, though.
Sit down.
The all-time leader in wins.
The all-time leader in pushes.
Who likes to do it?
I love that little sound.
Oh, sit down.
You're too slow and too stiff.
You're stiff as a part.
I snap you in half.
Come on, man.
Oh, the game misses Connor, bro.
The game missed Connor.
God damn it.
The king is back.
Amazing.
Amazing, whoever edited it.
I can't wait.
This would be a great place to watch.
A great fight to watch at the new sound.
It's a new compound.
Exactly.
Maybe we invite somebody else.
Whoever edited that was amazing because every major hit was with a snare drum.
You heard the snare.
I love that.
So fucking smart to do that shit.
God, they brought fucking music video aspects to a fucking fight.
Fight promo.
And dude, that first scene of him on the horse in the snow.
Yeah.
You're like, and what a great juxtaposition.
He's got the rides, the cars, the glitz, and this guy's just like constantly.
All-American boy on the cowboy hat.
Oh, I can't wait.
I'm not gonna lie.
I think they took that out of the Stylebender promo.
Probably.
Nah, I mean, like, when he puts his videos out, like, he adds that type of music video stylistic thing to it.
Yeah, yeah.
And I think UFC is like, oh, shit, we need to.
I think they need to step their shit up from watching Stylebender.
Yo, this is a good idea.
He promoted himself.
Oh, he wrote, he did his own video on it.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, he does a lot of the, you know, the ones he puts out after where it's like, like the anime that's built into it and shit like that.
Like, he's doing that.
Yeah, that's not UFC.
That's the next level.
That is next level.
Boy, it was a good fight weekend, man.
Dude, it's Terrence Crawford.
Like, dude, the fight game is in such a good situation right now, boxing and UFC.
And I'm, yeah, I'm like, I find myself really intrigued with UFC.
Nah, especially UFC, especially UFC, even boxing too.
But UFC, especially, right about now, they kind of get into a nice groove.
They got the Nigerian takeover happening.
They got Connor coming back.
They got, I think, Amanda Nunes next week, who she's probably.
No, no, she won.
Oh, she fought already?
Oh, yeah.
Well, she wouldn't knock bitches out.
That's what she does.
I know that's boxing.
Yeah, with Andy Ruiz, that fight.
Oh, yeah, the fight.
Yeah, yeah.
I was thinking of Rumble Johnson.
Yeah.
We didn't talk about it, but the fight was ass.
He was like, I was partying to him.
He was on defense the whole fight.
Ruiz came in not even in shape.
Not even in shit.
Yeah.
It was just such a huge disappointment, the whole thing.
He just wanted.
But you can tell he just wanted his payday, and he's probably never going to fight again.
And he proved everybody right.
It's like you look at Ruiz and you're like, oh, you don't have any discipline.
You're a fat guy.
And then, of course, he goes, No, you know, I'm just my metabolism is slow, but I do work hard.
And then for the biggest moment in your career, you come in 15 pounds overweight.
It's like, no, you don't have discipline.
That's why you're fat.
There's no other reason besides you do not have discipline.
Yeah.
Simple as that.
At the end of the day, having abs is different than being skinny.
Like, you can be skinny and not have abs.
You could be skinny and not be like diesel.
Absolutely.
But like discipline is what stops you from being extremely overweight.
Yeah.
So do you have or do you not?
And Andy just doesn't have it.
Speaking of abs, no homo.
What happened?
Have you seen homeboy from uh what's his name?
Kamale, the guy in um nonjani.
Why are you pointing out me?
Like, I would know.
I was pointing that out.
Like I thought he was like, have you seen this motherfucker?
Is that really known?
Bro, he's training for uh he's getting in shape for uh what's not in humans.
What's the name of the fucking the turnals?
The Marvel movie.
Yeah.
You seen this motherfucker?
Yeah, I saw a picture I didn't think was real.
It's real.
Bro.
Yeah, but I'd be thinking these.
Especially the Hollywood guys because they don't get tested or whatever.
So they pump some bullshit.
No, yeah, yeah.
I'm not hating.
They didn't come.
Yo, listen, if I was if I was famous, if I was in Hollywood and I'm about to be in a fucking Marvel movie next year, give me a shit.
And it's just funny because he goes from Mr. Funny.
It's not competition.
He goes from Mr. Funny Guy to Michael.
He's dead ass.
Like, I don't even, how you get a chisel jaw.
How the fuck?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, what the junk of it?
He got the fucking Johnson of Veins on his right arm and shit.
Like, you know how hard it is to get those?
Yo.
I was kind of aroused.
I was kind of aroused.
I was looking at his own.
And our final announcement this week.
One last announcement.
And since Akash is here, I am gay.
But I know if Akash sees this, he's probably going to.
Oh, he got hate.
He got hate because Akash is like, top of it.
Look at that shit.
Yeah, that's crazy.
God damn.
Nah, that motherfucker got ripped.
I don't get a lot of male envy as far as just abs, though.
Like, I look at somebody's abs and I'm like, yo.
Can you explain that?
What are you doing?
It's a Marvel movie coming out in the next couple of years about like these motherfuckers who have lived for like 300 years throughout the universe and fucking coming together to save the fucking world.
And I think I think Angelina Jolie's in it.
I think a lot of it's supposed to be a big movie.
So it's a big movie.
It's going to be more Guardians of the Galaxy type stuff.
So, like, out of different universes and shit.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, but goddamn, I don't get male envy for a lot of shit.
But if you got good abs, I could look at you and be like, I like those.
Like, if you got bitches, that's the biggest conversation a guy can give a chick, right?
Ain't that the biggest compliment?
That's the biggest compliment you could give like another dude.
Like, you won't say they look good, but like, I can see why bitches like that.
Like, that's the closest I'll get to saying, like, you look good, bro.
I'm like, I can see why bitches like that.
Yo, bro.
I got ab envy.
I be complimented the fit.
I compliment the fit.
You can compliment the fit.
That's my way of saying that.
The round is what I mean.
Yeah.
Oh, no, that looks good on you.
You got that.
You got that.
Oh, yeah.
My motherfucking paper boys in it, too.
Should be a good, should be a good movie.
Bronny's High School Potential00:08:16
But holy shit.
I am aroused.
All right.
I'm going to switch the topic before Kaz comes on the bottom of our sorry guys.
Yo, how about them Lakers, bro?
Fucking.
Wow.
Okay, I need to shout out one guy real quick.
Shout him out.
Asshole Army.
There's a guy, and his Instagram is Karma with two A's: C-A-R-M-A-A-S-A-B-I-T-C-H.
So it's like Karma's a bitch.
He got fired from his job because his job found out that he was doing, he was listening to my stand-up clips or watching my stand-up clips.
Now, I think he might have just been trash at his job, and they just used that as an excuse.
And I asked him that as a possibility.
That being said, but he's from the Toronto area.
If you're from the Toronto area, asshole Army, represent, you know what I mean?
You need some security.
You need somebody.
And I don't know what exactly his other expertise are, but holler at him because we can't have people getting fired while they're supporting.
So Karma's a bitch.
Go DM him and just help him out if you possibly can or give him a job lead or something like that or take care of your boy.
No, the army provides.
Real talk.
The army provides.
We got to do that shit 100%.
All day.
All day.
What else we got, Kaz?
Yo, these fucking Lakers, bro.
Yeah, so Lakers are legit, huh?
I haven't been watching.
This pass is dope.
They just have fun.
God damn.
It's like motherfuckers having career years again.
Dwight Howard's back from the dead.
Fucking Anthony Davis probably gonna be the defensive player of the year.
LeBron's fucking killing.
And he's got all that time to be a good father on top of that.
Yo, question.
Did you see the clips from Bronny's game?
Yes.
I wasn't that impressed, babe.
Bro, he's in ninth grade.
But he's playing against seniors.
Is that what he is?
Dog, these are like highly ranked high school teams that he's playing against.
Okay, Sierra Canyon is the number one team in the country.
They have a bunch of, outside of Zaire Wade and Braun James, they have like a mad high D1 guys on their team.
So that's the fact that Bronny Jr. is even getting time on his team is impressive.
But his shot selection was peculiar.
It's like all these floaters from like 20 feet out.
Yeah.
But the motherfucker, I mean, here's the one thing I understand about Braun is about 14 years old?
15, I think.
14, 15 years old.
I forgot the team he was playing.
He's playing against St. Vincent St. Mary, which also nationally ranked first.
Like all the best players in Ohio.
They won.
It was his best game as a high school player.
Like I've watched other games where maybe he'll have like a layup or a dunk and they'll be on Sports Center, whatever.
But like, this is like an actual game where he really played well.
He got MVP of the fucking game and shit.
Right.
Like, he's no Mikey Williams, and Mikey Williams is probably like the best ninth grader in the country.
He's the one who dropped like 77.
Yeah.
It's unbelievable.
Unbelievable kid.
But Bronnie is, you know what I mean?
Like.
It makes me think this.
It makes me think.
He's a different player than LeBron.
Yes.
But in order for him to reach the league, he's going to have to have a growth spurt.
I think he will.
How tall is he?
I think it will.
He was only six foot?
He's about 6'3.
6'1?
6'2 ⁇ .
Oh, 6'2 ⁇ .
Okay.
Yeah.
So here's the thing with Bronny.
I saw him over the summer at the Peace Jam when he was playing for.
Yo, Savannah is so fucking dope.
You see Savannah in the background?
That's what the fuck is up.
The realest.
I saw him at the Peace Jam.
I was doing color commentary.
And he was only about barely six feet at the time.
I think he's 6'1.
I think he's 6'1.
He was barely dunking at the time.
That was the thing.
He had the Rim Grazer dunk package in 2K.
Now the motherfuckers getting windmills and shit, catching Ali Oops.
Bro, he's got time.
He's got three, four years in high school to fill out, grow up, get stronger.
He's a baby.
He's five games to seven games to his high school career, though.
He's going to be good.
He's going to be very fucking good.
Injury, you know.
I just wasn't shocked with his.
I just wasn't blown away.
That kid, Mikey Williams, or whatever like that, he's got some clips.
You're blown away.
He's ridiculous.
Yeah.
He's like the same height, too.
Like, Mikey Williams is probably like same build, like 6'2, 6'3, or whatever.
But the motherfucker hops out the gym and he gets buckets.
But I think that Bronny, obviously, if he grows to a Mikey Williams, by the way.
Yeah.
Same age.
Just fucking ridiculous.
There's something different with this kid.
I don't know what the fuck is going on with high school kids lately.
Like, yo, you got it.
Yeah, nah, he's a good.
From here, you got it.
He's a beast in a sense where I know they're not going to play this kid this season.
They don't want that.
No, CR Kenya don't want that.
Not yet.
Not yet.
I don't think Bronny's there yet.
But I've been watching this.
I think Bronny can be good.
I just, from what I see right now, he needs to grow.
Because I think that you see certain things early.
Like you see jumping ability.
You see fast twitch kind of like movement early.
Like there's a little kid on Bronny's team.
He's much smaller.
I think he runs points.
You know what I'm talking about?
I want to say it's Dior Johnson.
I don't know.
Agility is through the roof, right?
Like just bouncing back and forth.
It's unbelievable.
But he's small.
So for Bronny, with what he has, I think he needs to be up there in that like 6'7, 6'8 range.
I was thinking like if he tops out at 6'6, 6'7, he'll be all right.
He doesn't got to be 6'9 like his dad.
But if he tops out at 6'6, I can see him being like a good shooting.
I can see him like a DeMar de Rosen type.
Right.
I can see him being like one of those slashing guards and shit.
Like he's 6'6.
We're also putting the LeBron James pressure on him.
We're like giving him the expectation of LeBron.
He doesn't act.
A lot of people are saying, like, oh, my God, like, we're putting too much pressure on a kid.
I'm like, yo, if there's anybody more built for this type of pressure.
It's him because he's lived with it his whole life.
He's lived with it his entire life.
The motherfucker has been in the public eyes since he was.
I remember the first time I saw Braun James Jr.
Right.
I think when they first won, I want to say the Heat Championship or whatever.
He might have been five or six years old or whatever.
But God damn, it's a big kid.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck is that?
Oh, the eighth grade too.
Shit.
Jesus.
But nah, man, like, I think, you know, putting the LeBron James, number one player in the country, straight to the league type of pressure on him is a lot.
Is he going to be a productive college and eventual NBA player?
I think so.
I don't think that's acting too much, but at the same time.
Or you think he's going to college?
Ooh.
I don't know.
I mean, by the time.
He's going to have to.
By the time.
Nope.
I mean, I think by the time he's...
I think by the time it's time for him to go to college, I think that rule will be long gone.
I think in the next three or four years, I don't know.
I don't think if he has to, he's not going to go.
Here's the thing.
If I am LeBron James Jr., go to college.
Really?
Go to college.
Money make no difference.
No, it ain't about, bro.
Learn the game.
You got to let him be that kid, bro.
Yeah, but you got to let him be that kid.
You don't think LeBron wants to play with him?
I do.
And I think, so the fastest way to get him to the league comes straight to the league.
I totally understand that.
But I think just him as I don't think he's going to get that kid experience now, obviously.
And the high school has, like, the fact that ESPN is broadcasting his games as a freshman.
They're not there to see Zion Wade.
They're not.
They're there to see Braun Jr.
Right.
By the time he gets to that college level, I don't think going to school or going to the NBA, I don't think he's going to be any more popular.
You know what I'm saying?
The hype's only going to get bigger.
So I do think he should do a year at college.
I think he should do that March Madness experience.
I think he needs to go and be the man somewhere for a little bit.
And granted, we're talking about a freshman in high school here.
But I think he should do at least one year in school before he makes that jump.
Like you said, I do think he needs to get that growth spurt.
I think he'll get it because, you know, he's got bronze.
He's got bronze.
I didn't hit a growth spurt until I was 16.
So LeBron?
Yeah, LeBron.
Betting and Cheating Scandals00:15:52
That's funny.
You had one.
It was just this way.
So LeBron was six foot at 13, and then in two years of sophomore year, he was 6'6.
Yeah, I can see that.
So he could go up.
I can see that.
I think he'll get that.
I think whatever fucking shit they gave LaMelo ball.
They're going to give him that shit.
Because LaMelo ball, I was like, I don't know.
Shut up.
I don't see it in line.
So now the motherfucker is 6'7.
Yeah.
He was like 6'1.
Yeah, it's a different situation.
Y'all hear, did y'all see the video of the Patriots thing?
What, the Spygate 2?
Son, the Patriots were cheating to beat the Bengals.
There's ever a waste of cheating, bro.
The Bengals have won one game this year.
Honestly, though, kind of makes me respect the Patriots.
Because it's that serious to them.
It's that fucking serious.
We don't give a fuck with the Bengals.
No, they're really trying to push this shit under the rug.
He's cheating.
So that means they do it every game.
Every game.
So it's like, and the crazy thing about it is nobody seems to care.
It's almost like Trump with the impeachment.
It's just like, oh, that's the new news.
It's like, we're used to, we're used to the Patriots, I guess, cheating.
They do.
It's part of the culture.
It's the Patriot way.
If there is a, they've said this.
He said, Bill Belichick has said, if there is a line to dance on, we're going to dance and come dangerously close to that line until, you know, you, you, until it shocks us.
And so it's like, all right, we won't do that.
But ever since, I guess, like the last spy gate, he was like, we're not even going to come to the line at all.
We're not going to do any of this shit.
Yeah.
But clearly they're fucking lying.
Clearly, they're still going to fucking do that shit.
Because that's the way Belichick gets down.
And you know what?
If you've gone this way, like, does anybody give a fuck when they count rings?
No.
Jay Glazer reported that shit like he had the biggest news of the century.
And nobody gave a fuck.
I know.
Yo, he was going in too.
This shit looks like fucking Watergate footage.
And nobody gives a shit.
But it was funny hearing the guy that got this like real New England guy going.
Oh, so he's solemn.
Oh, my bad.
I'm reading the caption.
So the security is talking about, hey, you can't film this.
Oh, my bad.
We'll delete it.
We'll delete it.
Literally.
But you got to hear his voice, son.
He's this New England guy.
He goes, yeah, we could delete it right off.
I can't do it, Boston accent.
But we could delete it right off of here.
No, because there's no other way to see it.
My camera's the only thing I have.
I mean, they're clearly trying to cheat.
They're clearly trying to cheat.
They are cheating.
They're well aware that this is illegal.
And that's all I'm saying.
You can't do that.
He's still filming.
And he was like, I think his excuse, they were getting like B-roll or some shit like that.
B-roll of the field.
Because they were following around a scout.
That's what he's doing.
And they're stalling.
And the scout list.
He's stealing as long as he can.
He's probably asking questions.
What happens if we do this?
Like, they're still filming and shit.
God damn.
Shout out Jay Gladys.
So here's the thing that is interesting.
Only five-foot man amongst amongst all these athletes.
So here's the thing that's interesting, right?
Yeah.
Is we don't care if the Patriots cheat or not because we expect them to cheat, right?
That's us.
But if you're somebody that put a lot of money on that game, right?
And you bet against the Patriots, if you're someone who's put a lot of money on any game this season against the Patriots, you must assume that this is not the first time they cheated.
They've been doing this every single week.
Oh, yeah.
So if that's the case, as someone who bet, I would be going nuts because I'd be like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Should be going.
Losing that bet, I should be able to get my money back at the very least.
Listen, that's why motherfuckers' legs are going to start getting broken as the years go by, man.
As gambling is becoming legal in every state.
Yeah.
That's why they're making motherfuckers have like real heights for NBA, real fucking injury reports.
Like they can't fucking hold that shit back until like the day of.
All this shit.
It's because of fucking gambling.
And if you're fucking up the gambling money, either the league is going to take care of it.
And if the league don't take care of it, you know who's going to take care of it?
The Black Sox scandal when they threw the whole fucking World Series.
Like, that's just going to come back.
Right.
That's just going to come back, especially if they're not really disciplining them over that.
You know, and, you know, it's the Patriots.
So they cheat.
Well, I'm surprised.
I'm surprised more people, maybe nobody put money on the Bengals, and maybe that's the issue, but I'm surprised for having caused a stink over this.
Somebody did.
And the Patriots did the cute shit and let the Bengals score first.
You weren't even using the shit.
And just like, and then just fucking demolish them for the rest of the game.
I didn't watch the game, did I?
They got on the board early at first.
I'm like, oh, that's smart, Belichick.
Let them think, you know what I mean?
So here's what's the most impressive thing about this.
Let's say the Patriots have been cheating like this for the last 10 years, right?
Not a single snitch.
Like even in the organization.
Wait for it.
Wait for it, bro.
Wait for it.
Even in the organization that will cut you ruthlessly, they will cut you ruthlessly.
Over allegations.
Over allegations.
Over anything.
Not a single snitch.
That means not a lot of people know.
Probably the teammates don't know.
It's probably just well then.
How are they going to learn about the plays that the other team has, right?
The advantage that they're doing is going, the advantage that they have is they know what plays the other team is going to run.
Yeah, but the offensive and defensive coordinator.
It's like, hey, I think it's what it is.
Allegedly, the people filming this are like part of the Patriots.com channel, whatever, right?
So allegedly.
So nothing can come back to Belichick.
Yeah, Belichick's whole stink is like, oh, we don't even touch that stuff.
That's PR.
But you know, there's a guy who connects with another guy.
Oh, cool.
And that's like, yo.
One of those.
Keep the ball.
Keep the circle nice and tight.
Keep it nice and tight.
No leaks, none of that shit.
It happened with the Astros.
The motherfuckers was stealing signs.
I can't believe that more stink hasn't been made about that.
People don't care about cheating.
The World Series was the World Series.
But fuck whether your team won or lost.
It's about betting on the game.
People lost millions of dollars betting on that game.
How are you not asking for your money back?
I'm surprised.
How are you not suing?
Like, if I was someone who lost the money, I would sue the Astros.
Absolutely.
Not the betting agency.
I would sue the Astros.
I lost millions of dollars.
You guys made me lose the money because I bet on this game, assuming that you guys would be operating through fair and true practices.
Clean game, yeah.
Clean game.
It's not clean.
What do they do in boxing when somebody's on steroids?
Oh, no decision.
No decision.
Right?
Same with MMA.
Same with maybe other sports as well.
Same with the Olympics.
Oh, you want a gold medal?
Oh, you were on EPO?
You don't have a gold medal.
But with baseball, something is off here, dude.
Something's off.
Something don't get.
It's bigger than us.
It's going to be fucking...
We got to fucking blow those up.
You should.
Honestly, I could stop this right now.
I could stop the entire thing right now.
You make it legal to sue the cheating team.
You don't take away the rings or anything like that.
But they won't cheat knowing that they're going to have billions of dollars of lawsuits towards them.
So they're like, oh, it's not worth it because if we do get caught, then the organization goes, Belcheck, stop fucking with that cheating shit.
Stop talking about that cheating shit.
I mean, these teams are worth billions of dollars, though.
You think the Yankees can't afford a little...
They probably shaking off lawsuits like Marv Albert, dog.
I don't give a fuck.
They're like a couple hundred thousand dollar lawsuits here, a couple million dollars.
That's nothing to them.
They spent like $300 million on a pitcher.
And then all of our fucking Harvey Weinstein, bro.
Son.
So Harvey Weinstein came out and said, women should be grateful, Frank.
Oh, you called this a couple weeks ago, didn't you?
Did I say that?
What did he say?
He said, women should be grateful for what I've done for them.
They've forgotten what I did for them.
You said this a few weeks ago.
He's not wrong.
I'm not a pat on the back.
All I'm saying is, when I saw that shit, I was like, but look at this.
Son, this is all media.
This is, oh, dude, the media is so corrupt, bro.
Look at this.
Ready?
Look how the shot, look how this picture is taken.
What do you see in this picture vividly?
Was that a walker?
A walker and all this IV and shit in his hand.
This picture is made to be sympathetic for him.
Wow.
All this shit is.
Bro.
Oh, you think so?
100%.
His eyes all fucked up.
I actually thought it was kind of, they were setting him up.
No.
Because it's like, he's at rehabilitation right now.
Right.
So they might have given him like some meds.
He could be on his like, fuck.
Who is that guy who's like, you know what happened?
He probably met with one of them girls at some Lower Eastside Comedy Club and tell some shit.
But this is what allegedly happened.
Apparently he decides to get this back surgery.
This, that, the other.
His back's fucked up, right?
Every old person's back is fucked up.
But look at all these pictures.
Him with the walker.
He's dressed normal with his normal sneakers.
He's not dressed like a billionaire.
Bro, they're doing it so that you sympathize with him.
100%.
Go back to the other shot.
It's a regular hospital bed.
It's not some fancy billionaire thing.
It's regular.
Everything is normal here.
Now, even his shirt, it's got fucking cornflakes all over it or something.
I don't know what it is.
What was that?
Cheetos dust?
Some shit.
But they're trying to make you feel bad for him.
Apparently, there's video of him walking around without the walker.
Really?
But for why?
Because that's what they do when you're in a criminal trial because they want the jury to be able to get to the bottom of this shit.
Son, of course.
Of course he bought this shit.
Look at this poor old man.
He's not supposed to come and all that type of stuff.
Of course.
And dude, they were trying to intimidate the witnesses.
He's given 25 million to these girls, so they shut up.
And they're going to shut up, which is hysterical because you just prove him right.
What did he say the whole time?
They just want my money.
And then he gives them money and they just like, yeah, you're right.
Yeah, and he doesn't have to admit any wrongdoing either.
Bro.
You shouldn't be allowed.
That's why I think the justice system is always fucked up.
This is exactly why.
If you got bread, you will get ahead.
If you got Weinstein money, you don't get by.
You know what I'm saying?
It's the reason why.
And 50 said this shit on Instagram the other day about Oprah going after Russell Simmons and R. Kelly and Bill Cosby and all this type of stuff.
Like, love Bill, love R. Kelly.
They ain't got Weinstein money.
It's like, Oprah ain't climbing up that tree.
That tree will fall on you.
Yeah, why is Oprah getting all this smoke?
I mean, well, I guess he's.
Also, there's a lot of okay, we got to cover a couple things before we finish up here, but we got to wrap up soon.
But I want to know why Oprah is getting this smoke, and then I also want to know why Eminem and Nick Cannon are fighting.
Oh, my God.
This is my thing.
Oprah's getting the smoke because she's going after black people.
It seems as though she's going after buttons.
Out of all the what?
My thing is...
Whenever she backs a documentary or something like that, it just happens to be other black entertainers.
Which is smells a little weird.
My thing is, if I'm Oprah, you got to at least throw somebody else in there just to mix it up.
Yeah.
You ain't just going to go all black.
Why?
Well, speaking of trees not falling on me, I don't know.
So I'm not going to say nothing crazy about Oprah.
But there's something really uncomfortable because these are people that she's worked with.
And Russell Simmons, if you can find Russell Simmons' post that he did responding to Oprah coming out with his documentary or whatever, he says a bunch of things, just kind of like questioning why she's coming after him.
Granted, I guess he's speaking his piece, and I don't want to mess up any details, so I'm not going to act like I know exactly what he said.
But he's basically pointing out, hey, listen, all these things happened about 30 years ago.
I've taken dozens of lie detective tests.
I've been proven innocent to this, this, that, this, is, that, this, is, that.
You're only talking out of all these people who have gone on the record and say whatever, you're talking two people in specific.
And, okay, if I could, it's almost fucked, but maybe we.
We don't have to read the whole thing.
Yeah, but okay, so here's my question.
Yeah.
Is it possible, and I'm just throwing it out here, but like Oprah goes, well, this is closer to me and my community.
Yeah.
That's why it's important.
Whereas maybe the average person doesn't give a fuck about Harvey Weinstein or know Harvey Weinstein.
Whereas, was Russell preying on women in her community?
Was Harvey?
I mean, Harvey's like banging these little white girls, right?
Maybe that's not.
Russell wasn't necessarily banging all these black girls either.
Right.
You know what I mean?
She was banging everybody.
I'm just playing devil's advocating.
I'm like, why is that story more interesting?
Here's the thing.
I absolutely understand where Oprah's coming from.
There's definitely a train of thought to, hey, this is my community.
These are the people I know.
These are the people I've trusted with my platform in my past.
So I wouldn't be, I don't want to be a hypocrite and being like, oh, I'm not going to go after these people just because they've done work with me in the past.
I'm fair, yada, yada, yada.
There's definitely a school of thought on that.
On the other hand, kind of fishy.
It's kind of fishy, man, especially after like the Michael.
I don't understand what she got out of going after Michael Jackson, who's been dead for a while.
Yeah, I feel that's the only misstep, really.
You know what I mean?
The fact that they put the Michael thing out without having all the controls.
But did she go after...
Oh, she went after R. Kelly, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is like, fuck R. Kelly.
R. Kelly, I support it.
And even this Russ shit, like, I don't think she's going after Rush.
She's just pointing out a big thing because the Me Too movement, it pointed out all the shit going on in Hollywood, but it didn't talk about what was happening in music.
And it was probably even bigger in music.
So she's just doing the story that hasn't been told yet, which I respect her for.
I think the only reason why people are trying to giving her some smoke right now is because like, all right, the three things that you have produced have been targeted at African Americans.
And if you're talking about that, especially with like, you know, the conspiracy theorists that are out there, like anytime you're trying to take down a black person of notoriety, it's always going to be looked at a different lens.
Like, why are you trying to take down some of the few, you know, I mean, they're some of the few prominent black men that are out there.
Like, you know, there's always people thinking there's a war against black men or just masculinity in general where they're trying to, you know.
It's just tricky, man.
It's all tricky.
Sometimes you're doing the right thing and people are like, yeah, you're doing the right thing, but why don't you also do the right thing towards white people?
It's like, well, maybe I'll get there.
I'll get there eventually.
If you're a scumbag, you're a scumbag.
I don't know the whole situation with Russ.
I don't know.
He was accused of.
I mean, I know Russ got a lot.
He has a good quote on here.
Scroll down a little bit.
He has a good quote about exactly whatever.
Because I don't even think it's just about Russ.
I would scroll up to hip-hop.
I have been taking a scroll back down.
My phone off of my phone.
Today I received a call from an old girlfriend from the early 1980s, which means that they're using my words, evidence against me, and their commitment.
All the claims are 25 to 50 years old.
Puzzle proof.
He says something along the lines.
I'm guilty of using, boom.
I'm guilty of exploiting, supporting, and making the soundtrack for a grossly unequal society, but I have never been violent or forced myself on anyone.
Still, I am here to help support a necessary shift in power and consciousness.
Let us get to work on uplifting humanity and put this moment and old narrative behind us.
Damn, the wifey's so I hear that.
Stick by your man.
Hip-Hop Promotion Controversy00:14:07
Shout out to that.
Shout out Kamara Lee, bro.
Even, even that's telling.
That's telling, man.
She was the first Asian.
I thought that was attractive.
Really?
Yeah.
Bro, Kamara Lee definitely put me on the Blazians.
She was the first joint.
She was defensive.
She's still fire.
Out of all these days, still fire.
But yeah, you know, I don't know.
I mean, I hate even talking about these type of things because they're always messy.
And, you know, you never want to dismiss anybody's fucking, you know, you don't want to dismiss anybody's trauma or plight or whatever because there are definitely people who've been, you know, grossly fucking, you know, affected by these things.
At the same time, if we're going to look at one thing with a certain lens, you should look at the other as well.
As far as Nick and Eminem goes, I think Eminem's going to be on Wild Out.
Eminem?
I think Eminem's going to be on Wild Out.
Why?
I think that's what it is.
I'm like, well, I just don't understand why you reheated that decade of old beef for what?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I think I feel like that's the only play.
That is the ultimate mashup collaboration of battle rap comedy.
I thought it was.
I thought it was just PR, dude.
I'm like, I'm really still beefing over Mariah.
Oh, I honestly feel Nick and Eminem had a conversation.
It's like, hey, this is how we play it.
Bro, I think it goes that far back.
So Eminem puts this.
Because it's like to say, to take shots at Nick and Mariah this many years removed from the situation.
It's like, come on.
But then I'm hearing that Nick was doing some interview where he brought him up.
And I think it even started back then.
He's like, yo, I'm going to say something about you in this interview.
You sent a diss track.
We have this rat beef.
And then we settle it on Wildin' Out.
It works for both parties.
It works for both parties.
My motherfucking, my pro wrestling mind doesn't believe shit anymore.
I think Eminem is kind of dry right now.
Yeah, he is.
He's not even kind of.
He is.
He is absolutely dry right now.
And if I'm Eminem, I go on Wilding Out.
I go to his show.
I'm like, bro, there's no amount of money you could pay him.
Like, even if you really don't like the nigga.
But what's this?
But what's this like new thing that Nick is running with?
Like, he's all of a sudden super woke, super pro-black, and everything is racist.
And this is brand new with Nick.
I never saw any of this with Nick before.
No, I kind of, well, I think when he started his podcast, he started talking about stuff.
He was a Lewis podcast at your old.
Yeah, but that's what I'm saying.
He never really had a platform where he could have been a show on Power 106, too, right?
Now he does a morning show, yeah.
But even this, like, since MASA incapacity, what is it?
Says at 50 cent.
Nick Can is going to 50 Cent, which is brave.
Since Massive is incapacitated, we cordially invite you to come to the show.
Massive meaning Eminem.
So he's bringing up like slave antics with Eminem and 50 Cent.
Now 50 Cent became a multi-millionaire because of Eminem's cosign.
I don't think that that's akin to slavery.
100 if you don't think, definitely put him the fuck on.
I guarantee, come on, bro.
But like that's not saying that he wouldn't have maybe had success.
But it's not like we didn't know who 50 was like.
We knew, we knew how to rob, we had that song.
He wasn't popping pop, he was the hottest free agent in music at one point.
Like he would have, he would have popped off anywhere.
And on top of that since then he's blown up on shit that had nothing to do with and 50 always has Em's back.
So it's just interesting that, like you go with the slave narrative, it's like anytime you support a white guy it's like he got to be your master, like it's just kind of it's one is disrespectful to like slavery right, because it's like you really thinking that like how detached are you from slavery that you're going to compare one multi-millionaire empowering another multi-millionaire and go, yeah, that's just like slavery.
It's like if somebody made you tens of millions of dollars, wouldn't you have their fucking back too, you idiot?
Yeah, Andrews hasn't made me ten millions of dollars, but i'm very supportive, this motherfucker.
But once you do, i'll be the first one to jump on instagram like yeah no, but I just worry about everything.
I totally agree with what you're saying and it's it's almost like when every politician like Um compares to the Holocaust or everybody's a Nazi.
It's not about.
It's not about who they're saying it to.
It's about convincing the masses.
It's an easy thing to do, to flip on.
It's like a host.
But that's what i'm saying.
He's playing.
He's playing off of the insecurity that people have, right?
It's like it's kind of disgusting when I see people do this.
It's kind of disgusting, bro.
It's like you playing off the insecurity that people have and you're playing off the the real fears that black people have.
Black people and paranoia.
Like dude, people always prey on black paranoia.
Man like, look at all these pictures you playing off of you acting woke, you wearing that stupid on your head and you're acting like you really care, but you're just preying off the insecurity of people.
It's like you found a new hustle, like you found a new shit to pimp.
Oh, I could pimp them like this.
Okay boom, i'm gonna get their money.
I'm gonna get their support if I get behind this narrative and place this bad guy as a person that's always also been holding them down.
This shit is man.
It's corny.
When I see this, it's like, how do people not?
And quiet is kept.
I think he's just trying to get his guys on like he's got like.
If you go to the wild real talk you want to talk about, like Charlie Clips, you want to talk about people not getting paid enough.
Ask them wild and out guys, how much they get paid.
Nick, you really want to talk about the plantation, you yo.
Ask them wild and out guys how much they get paid on your show Nick, because not a single one of them very happy with that paycheck.
Ask them when they tried to go on tour and you shut down their tour.
What?
85 south?
Oh not, i'm not gonna put all the business out there, but you couldn't.
You couldn't go on tour.
You're trying to hit on 85 south yo, they.
You couldn't go on tour unless it was with that Nick Cannon, because they all went on tour.
Everybody was on the MTV, wild and out, shit Went on tour.
And you couldn't call the show the wild and out show or whatever it was unless Nick Canned it.
And then Nick Ken embodied the live show.
And now you had to do it under him.
And then you make way less under him.
Now, granted, he created the platform, don't get me wrong.
But at the same time, let comedians eat, bro.
Like, there's a certain point in time where it's just like, yo, let them hit the road, do their thing.
Now, they just do it under the 85 South Show Live, of course.
But there was a time where it was like, oh, you're not going to let them tour?
Like, now, what?
Granted, they did their thing, but you really want to bring out that slavery shit?
No, shit.
You really want to do that and act like you're the one empowering your people?
So why are you squashing your people every time they're trying to make money?
Why are you trying to take a little out their pocket every single time?
When it comes to that, you probably more experienced than I am because I don't know the inner workings of that shit.
But like, to play devil's advocate, a lot of these motherfuckers I wouldn't hear if it wasn't a wild out.
A lot of them.
Son, it was an amazing platform.
Amazing platform.
Yeah, so maybe he was trying to just protect the brand.
It's like he doesn't want, if he's not as connected to it, he doesn't want people using the number to try to get tickets.
I'm not even against it.
I'm with it.
And I understand as a businessman, it's a shrewd thing to do.
That being said, if you're going to be shrewd and potentially cheap with your people, you can't exactly criticize.
You can't exactly call another dude a slave master and another guy a slave who he made millions of dollars from.
Yeah, yeah.
It's that.
It's just like, it's like, we know what Eminem did for 50.
We know what you did with the guys under your show.
It's like, that's why I feel like this whole shit is just complete bullshit.
That's why he's like, you know what?
Eminem's going to be on Wild and Out.
I think Eminem's going to be on Wild Out.
No, I think he's trying to get out.
I think it's going to be Eminem.
They're going to have a live fucking show.
I'm Eminem.
I want to do Wild and Out.
Oh, my God.
Because I want to do Wild and Out.
Nick don't want to kiss me.
Are you kidding me?
If I'm Eminem, I'm like, yo, you know what?
Invite me to the fucking show.
I'll come do your fucking show.
I'll slap the shit out of you lyrically, verbally, whatever.
And whatever the fuck you may think about Nick, this would be your best.
I'll watch.
Now you're going to tour it.
It's wrestling.
They're going to watch.
It's all pro-wrestling.
It's all pro-wrestling.
You see Eminem doing?
He's going to do live battle raps on MTV.
What?
Eminem kind of taught me that fucking stupid man.
Yo, Eminem needs it because Eminem is cold right now.
He's cold as fucking.
Cold as ice.
Ever since he went serious?
Fucking shit.
Once we lost playful Eminem, I hate Trump.
He was the drugs.
Once he got clean, it was a rap.
Son, get back on drugs.
Just be goofy, be silly.
Like, he got all political.
Get back on drugs.
Like, come on, bro.
Even when he did, I think he did the BT freestyle when he was talking about Trump.
And you could tell he was tight that Trump didn't react.
Oh, he was super.
He was tight that Trump didn't react because that was his go-to all the time.
Oh, yeah.
Pop stars, politicians, and whatever.
Whack rappers, whatever.
You get that interaction.
You get that beef.
That was his shit.
But Trump's too smart for that.
And you know what Trump would have reacted to?
What happened?
No, because I was telling him to get back on drugs.
And then rappers had recently passed away right now.
Jesus Christ.
Don't actually do that at me.
Just be funny again.
You know what's going to be interesting, though, because all these rappers out here are saying, we don't do drugs no more.
We just smoke weed.
That's going to be like when you change your Facebook profile picture to the person who just died, right?
Or you're like, you know, shout out to Sudan or like, you know, shout out to Paris or whatever it is.
Like, we're with you.
I think Tribune.
Real talk, what's going to happen is you're going to see exactly how long it takes them to flip back to doing drugs.
Just like when they removed that Facebook profile picture.
Because there's no way these rappers ain't going to do drugs.
My thing is like, how serious are you really?
Are you going to stop doing drugs?
Are you going to stop performing songs that we talk about glorifying, taking pills and drinking lean?
No, you're not.
All sorts of shit.
No.
Are you going to like, come on, son?
Come on, son.
And the Jews world shit is fucking frustrating as too, because it wasn't like he was some junkie.
He was literally trying to swallow pills because FBI was about to search his way.
My buddy got an interesting argument that he goes, and I won't say his name just because I don't know if he wants this argument out there, but he's not white.
He's not black.
So he's the neutral party in this.
But he goes, but he says, not all.
He goes, he goes, not all hip-hop, but you see a lot of these people in hip-hop that we look up to, and they are the greatest. marketers of white supremacy.
I go, what are you talking about?
He goes, like, the people that are talking about the things that destroy your community.
It's like, what do white supremacists want?
To destroy your community.
Right?
So if you're going to talk about drugs and guns and all this other shit and all the fucked up thing you can do, and you're going to promote that as much as you possibly can with your community.
It's like you're doing their job for them.
Yeah, no, that's our biggest.
I mean, as a black person, I could say that's definitely our biggest Achilles heel.
Like, we are our own worst enemy all the fucking time.
All the fucking time.
We're very hypocritical when it comes to, you know, we want, like, he was the one, here was the one thing we heard all last year.
Remember when there was a bunch of female rappers out there that were like strippers and shit, whatever?
Yeah.
Everybody was like, oh, my God, why don't people listen to Rhapsody?
Rhapsody talks about positivity.
Rhapsody drops the album.
Nobody fucking bought it.
Nobody fucking bought that shit.
We wanted to hear that.
Like, we want everything we, a lot of things we do.
I'm not going to say everything.
A lot of things we do as a community sound good in theory, but we never really practice it.
Yeah, but you know what's ironic about what you said, Andrew, is that hip-hop is so big now.
Like even, I think more white people consume it than black people.
Whatever people consume it.
Way more.
And that's part of the role.
I think that's part of the reason why there's a huge opioid epidemic right now.
Right.
Because they promote that shit.
They promote it.
No, no, no.
The opioid epidemic is definitely happening in white people.
They promote that shit on hip-hop.
Sure, sure.
And maybe that's a part of it.
But I also think there is something I want.
I'd be curious to see if in the opioid epidemic, if you saw like country musicians or like hard rock musicians singing songs like, I sling my opioids to all my poor whites.
You know what I mean?
Because that's how I get bred.
Like, I wonder if white people are.
Yeah, it's not as catchy.
No, but like, I sincerely wonder if like these like white New England people would be like, are y'all really listening to that?
What the fuck are y'all doing?
Like, people are dying over this shit.
What are you bopping your head to?
Oh, God.
I'm curious.
I'm just curious.
I don't know.
And I think the elder, the elder men in hip-hop have couldn't went against it.
I think they see it.
I think they understand it.
No, it's just hard to convince the kids.
It's the kids.
Because kids are going to be drawn to childish shit regardless, right?
And every group has had their things.
Don't get me wrong.
Like the psychedelic groups are there, like the hip, what is it?
Crack in the 80s.
No, no, I meant like those hippie rock bands who like mushrooms and these types of things.
And then when the rock and roll bands came out and they're all about drinking and fucking singing about heroin and that kind of shit.
And then motherfuckers were dying of heroin.
Yeah.
It was a real, it was a real thing where.
And then what you did is as they got older, you saw a lot of these groups and the ones that are still around, they sobered up.
Like they'll be like, all right, before we're going to do this, everybody has to be sober.
So maybe that is the transition that happens in any, in any music.
But I always thought.
It's going to happen.
I think it'll happen eventually.
I don't think it's, I mean, it's got to start guys like Trippy Red saying, like, hey, we're not doing any of this.
You can't say, oh, we're just doing weed.
Like, just like, don't do anything.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, even if you're going to smoke a little weed, just put the message out there.
Just like, hey, we're going to sober now.
Like, we're not doing this shit.
Like, you lost Juice World.
You lost fucking Mac Miller.
You lost.
It was the other guy that passed away overdose.
He said Williams.
Little Zane or something.
Shit, you almost lost Wayne.
Almost lost Wayne and Rick Ross.
Fuck.
I almost lost them both off of lean seizures.
That's the main thing.
Once you get in these pharmaceuticals, bro, it's like everybody thinks it's safer because it comes in that little bottle.
It ain't safer, dude.
That's why I don't trust government.
I don't trust government weed at all.
Fashion Drop Opportunities00:05:04
That's why.
No, I fuck with government weed, bro.
I mean, I don't trust that.
I'm scared of it, dog.
I'm scared of it because once it becomes, it's like McDonald's.
McDonald's started out good in theory.
Like when there was like five McDonald's.
Duval changed my whole mind.
Duval changed my whole mind about McDonald's when he was on Rogan.
Duval goes, you know, he's talking about, he goes, yo, when you're traveling, just eat McDonald's.
That's your friend.
And Rogan goes, yeah, man, but have you seen those videos where they put a McDonald's hamburger on a shelf and they just leave it there for a year and then they come back and it looks the exact same?
He goes, and Duval goes, ain't that good?
He goes, that's what space food is.
It just lasts forever.
So McDonald's is space food.
He goes, if it's good enough for Astronauts, it's good enough for me.
And then he goes, if you eat too much of anything, it's bad for you.
I don't care what it is.
But Eden Moderation, bro, he said that shit.
And I was like, man, Duval might be on or something, dude.
Brilliant dude, man.
Brilliant dude.
Fucking Tarrell.
Not Tara Online.
Shout out to Josenko.
What is that?
Oh, love McDonald's.
McDonald's.
Lives off that shit.
Motherfucker still has six-pack abs.
He still run a 4-340 if he needs to.
But imagine he ate like real whole food healthy.
But why?
Yeah, you're right.
Hey, man.

Reselling the fashion on eBay.
And the craziest thing is, they didn't even get it yet.
How you going to resell something you ain't got yet?
Yeah, man.
That's how they do it.
Yeah, that's how they do it.
Stock extra market, man.
Bro, it was just so crazy.
So it's really awesome to see.
It's really awesome for this to happen.
And, you know, all your shirts and all your hoodies and everything like that are going out.
Those will never be made again.
That is that fashion drop.
And every fashion drop is going to be isolated in and of itself.
We got some new shit cooking up for the next one.
I'm very excited.
I legitimately tried to fucking buy some shit.
Once I saw it moving, I'm like, all right, let me grab something for us out.
Shit fucking sold out.
So if you could please save me the next second.
I got you, son.
All right, man.
And I'll see you guys.
And if there are any shooters on any of the tour dates.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Hit me up.
I respond.
I try to respond to most of my DMs.
Hit me up.
You know, we always appreciate any help.
Oh, yeah.
So if any shooters or any of you, any photographers, too, even if you don't do video, we like having good pictures of the shows as well.
So just let us know.
And honestly, it's a great way to get into the show if you don't have a ticket.
