demonic like don't do that we used to go we used to go to church on halloween and the hallelujah fest yes and it which honestly was still pretty fun carmen have you ever heard of hallelujah fest no carmen's not familiar it's where you go to church on halloween night and learn about jesus while other kids have a happy childhood yeah that's that's basically what it is ours would basically ours would also be it would be half church service it would be like partially church service and then they let you go outside and like jump on like bouncy yeah bouncy castles and the power team would come did y'all ever have the power team what's the power team put me on put me on for this power team the power team was a group of big like buff dudes dude who would like do great feats of strength in the name of christ yes so they were like tearing up phone right before we learned what anna ball is yes yes and they were like this is the power of christ and it's like it's like no that's and then you got a cycle yeah he was on a intense trend cycle right now yeah yo my okay so did you ever see these guys i never saw him in person okay but but one time my stepdad was watching them on tv this is you know evangelical you know televangelist shit yeah so dudes got like you know like three four like strong dudes up there on the stage with them talking about how mighty and powerful they are through christ or whatever they're ripping phone books in half so my stepdad is at home watching this and he's like you know in his feelings as a man just like you know on some ego shit like i can tear a phone book in half right so incredible also the most man thing is like that man did a hard thing i could do it as well it's literally like watching lebron dunk and be like i got hops so he goes gets the yellow pages tries to tear it in half can't because he's a sinner and yeah because he's not he's not blessed so then instead what he does he goes to our kitchen cabinet takes out a frying pan and bends one of the t-fall frying pans in half so my mom comes home to just and like i don't know if your dad's like like where the like the mom will come home and show the evidence yeah of what you did and be like what's this and he's just like i don't even what what are you what are you talking what are you and she's like that's like your mother yeah you've been my frying pan and he was like man there was some they were ripping phone books on tv he was like he was like trying to like explain like they were ripping phone books on tv what do you expect me to do he was like see you next time like you think you think i'm destroying kitchenware actually what's going on is i'm compelled by the power of the lord and savior i'm showing you i'm a man of god so i had to bend this up so we're not going to be able to have eggs this legit but also the blood of christ running through my veins my mom was so pissed she was like how do you expect me to make grilled jesus and she was like we can get another frying pan it's like then you go by he's like i don't really it is impressive that he did bend a frying it is impressive that is it is impressive but it is also like one of those like what the fuck is wrong with me i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know what's wrong with you moments yeah of course you know but mad impressive he got him he got embarrassed in front of his son yeah that's what happened yeah yeah yeah one of the real reasons it's one of the scariest things about uh becoming a parent is like there's i like i think about this all the time with uh with fishing yeah with like the act of fishing when i was a little kid i like i enjoyed like going out and going fishing with my dad we're in texas yeah but i didn't like i didn't like dealing with the hook i didn't want to take the fish off the hook and okay my but you know when you're a kid your dad will just do that for you did you have a problem with the bait uh not that much did you use live bait uh sometimes sometimes we would use live bait i didn't have as much of a problem problem with the bait because like i don't know the war i'd i'd played with worms before you dig worms out of the ground when you're a kid and the worms don't play with worms no more dog no i don't think so at all they got too much they got too much they got too much to look at yeah but like i would uh i could do the worms because the worms like can only move so much the fish is fighting for its life yeah the fish is like in a whole different environment it's not supposed to be above the water it's doing this and you got like a sharp hook it's trying to breathe you know what i'm saying it's trying to breathe it's in a whole fucking we put him in an area where he can't he's fucking doing that kidnapped actively yeah we're not supposed to be doing like chill and uh you're going in a cooler what's up i used to be able to like just give it to my dad and my dad would take it off now i'm a full-grown man if i have a son or a daughter we go fishing now that's my responsibility so guess guess what we're not doing if i become a parent yo to my future son and or daughter if you're listening and we know that you are we're not going fishing yeah we're going to six flags and maybe i'll take you to the boarding park or i'll teach you how to ride a bike maybe we'll just walk through the woods on foot my no hooks nothing sharp involved my kid gonna be a screen kid for sure dog i'm i'm 36 already like so i know i'm already gonna be an old dad yeah i'm tired now i got a coffee right now yeah it's late in the day it's late i can't even last a full 12 hours so i'm like yo whatever comes out it's like you're just gonna have to accept the fact like i'm not gonna chase you like they ain't gonna be like chase me daddy no you're gone daddy spent way too much time chasing hoes in his 20s and 30s right so i'm tired now so you're gonna have fetal ipad syndrome for a while you're gonna be i was on the trail i was on the subway the other day and there was a there was a kid there was a dad who was fully on his phone heavy yeah there was a kid who was like in a stroller who was also on his ipad in a in such a way that i was like well this can't the kid was like two dog i was like well this can't be good yeah god knows what that what that little boy is gonna grow up to become we're gonna look back at like there's gonna be that generation of kids that grows up and they're gonna be in therapy like my parents gave me an ipad when i was two yeah like they're gonna be talking about it all the way where it's like there's nothing i love more than because carmen's also like simultaneously doing work because carmen has like seven jobs so she's like always yeah doing something but every now and again she'll be like over on the side type and she'll just be like yeah yeah yeah true yeah yeah yeah there's gonna be a whole bunch of kids like that where it's like oh my parents used to smoke in the so now i got probably like same deal do you remember i mean we're around the same age you remember uh you remember like like smoking section of the bowling alley dude yeah i remember smoking section everywhere apple peas all that shit when i was doing when i started comedy they could still smoke in the comedy club so i would come home and like have to lay my clothes out and like just like let them air out because they were smoked up where did you start in greensboro at the greensboro comedy zone yeah comedy zone that's a different it's a different animal i didn't know like yeah i didn't know it was considered bad at the time that's a it's a different for those of y'all who aren't comics who are listening into this the comedy zone there's a very there's a variety of like chains there's like the heliums there's the funny bones improv there's the improvs and then there's the comedy zones yeah and they all kind of have their pros well they all certainly have cons yeah they all certainly have they all are they all they're all clubs but like the comedy zone specifically they're always in they're in they're in markets you wouldn't ordinarily be traveling to yeah at all especially as a like i started when i was 17 so when i started like you know like getting on the road a little bit like trying to do some feature work and stuff i was maybe 21 or something like that early yeah so like you know just dipping my toe in the feature and then i'm driving out to like johnson city tennessee yeah you know harrisburg pa like just like my dad's family yeah dog i was just hey man are they still there the uh my brother is my brother's still there and tell me get the fuck up out of there because that shit is crazy bro like that that that comedy zone yeah was legit like it was like in a crack house hotel bro like it was legit like the the room was in the hotel and like people were just like posted up in that bitch like living in that hotel yeah like there's a lot of the comedy zones that don't exist anymore because they were basically like pop-ups they were like don't tells before don't tell don't tell much much worse they were like please don't tell nobody about this like it was it was rough it was rough but the one i started in greensboro was like it was a nice looking place for lack of a better word i guess charlotte too right the charlotte one is like the hub okay that's a good club that's still like a nice club i haven't played there yet but yeah it's good like it's a big room and everything although i will say last time i was at charlotte comedy zone i was with craig robinson right okay we i was i was opening for him we're in the green room this is between shows one of craig's dudes lewis comes in he's like everybody gotta get out right now we were like what's up he's like everybody out and we started running you know it's like you tell the niggas get out we it's like no question it's like it's like it's like no questions just go right so we start going down this like back hallway so i'm thinking like there's like a gas leak or something like that because like there's people out like side crying and shit and i was like what's up and they were like somebody was shooting in there i was like the fuck and sure enough somebody came and shit and i had friends with me like i think i heard about yeah yeah i was there i had friends with me and everything and like my friends like we're running out and they're like looking back i'm like stop looking back let's go there's nothing back there yeah there's nothing back for you yeah so we just ran and like got out and then like you of course like they shut down the club like they put in the ticker tape and everything next door to the to the charlotte comedy zone there's like an amphitheater okay uh craig is chilling at the amphitheater waiting for shit to die down he's just chilling over there watching big time rush and so i come back over i come back over i hit up craig i'm like yo big c listen i think i'm gonna take my friends back to the hotel we're just gonna call it a night he was like we ain't gonna do a show i said craig it's an act of crime scene bro like there ain't no show tonight ain't no waiter going back in there after they just got like that's that's one of those moments when you find out certain people love comedy much more than you do way more than a certain because for me it don't even a gun don't even have to make an appearance if one guy got a blade yeah we done for the night we done for the night let's see these conditions yeah this is unacceptable if anybody got a bad attitude i'll be like yo we gotta cancel this is it we gotta cancel i don't like the way that he's speaking let's prop me up wrong y'all yeah exactly in this town what kind of sandwich y'all got in this town let me go eat that kind of thing legit yeah so but yeah i was just like bro we gotta get out of here and then my parents were hitting me up late night they're like why didn't you tell us i was like man i'm grown i don't need to report this kind of stuff back to you also they didn't they didn't get me yeah yeah so it's like yeah they didn't get me i

of course yeah yeah what's are you were you really rocking hard with j cole when you saw him pop off i like j cole but he's not my guy like you know people in north carolina you know put him on that pedestal like that okay like i i fuck with him though but although although one time one time i saw j cole at a sheets it was me and my homie we were just like the gas station at the gas station okay yeah i saw him at a sheets one night we were filling up was he already popping by he was like he was on his way like he was like at least at least like the first album had been out okay okay and he's

picture bro but he is like that's the thing like when i see him now going around on a bike and then fucking pajama outfits he'd be on yeah i'd be like yo because he still lives in north carolina right i think but he'd be up here a lot though oh sure sure sure yeah i'm sure he's got you know he's got the place in fayetteville i'm sure but yeah like he because like yeah because his that that whole song uh neighbors is about how like his neighbors literally call the cops on him at his like well like his real legit home oh after he's like after he's made it yeah and like they're like oh they they you know and have the SWAT team come in and all that kind of shit and went all through his crib didn't find nothing same thing you know same thing they always do shout out to afro man shout out to afro man where would jay cole live in new york city he would be a brooklyn type maybe i mean he could definitely be in manhattan but he could be anywhere but he's always just like biking around in them long ass shorts that might as well be pants yeah yeah yeah he's got he's wearing shorts like uh yeah like like those nba warm-up pants legit you know what i'm saying where it's like oh this was a pant but then they like chopped off like the bottom third yeah he's got that type of situation you got them korean pants on did you ever did you i don't but you know what i'm saying but koreans i got the baggy shit that's long but it's like it's like they give you just enough ankle to be like it's not a short yeah yeah but it's not pants but it's it's shorts it's a mediums did you see when he got signed to that uh chinese basketball team like like a few months ago i think i did see that shit it's well two things one i'm like jay cole what do you think about that i'm like jay cole what do you think about that i'm like jay cole what do you search him for what are you searching for you're about 38 i don't think you need to be a professional athlete at this stage in your life that's one thing sometimes you just want to hoop it's also like and it's also like he can hoop he can like he is good but i'm also like you don't have to be a professional athlete your whole yeah your whole thing at the very beginning was about how you didn't make the varsity basketball team in your high school that's true so you're probably not if you're not the best guy at your high school you're probably not supposed to be a pro athlete right yeah and also the team that he signed with was called the monkey kings which i didn't want him to be affiliated with personally hey bro you can't you know i feel like if there was i'm not putting my name on the on the contract that say monkey you feel me yeah it's like i'll be i'll be i'll be a you didn't have to call him that and that probably is a different like a document trump drew up the ai and shit that that came right with the obama video it seems like what trump calls the obama years of the presidency yeah yeah when the monkey kings were um ruled over the jungle jesse you can't laugh at that very impressive they're so fast with the ball dunking alley-ooping oh what what were you what were you listening to as a young you know as a young jordan so you were all white high school yeah i was but so my parents you know my parents are very like there was always music in the house okay my dad like you know went to went to tennessee on a scholarship like he was always like first chair like you know in his high music scholarship yeah like like he was you know what he played he was um trumpet french horn that kind of stuff and then like taught himself how to play piano and like you know was trying to teach me as a kid but i was like man piano is not fun when you're a kid when you're a kid it's not but now i got one and i'm like damn i should have stuck with it it's cool to like it's cool to be able to just like hop on the piano as a grown-up and like play something but when you're like nine you're like i want to play the game yeah yeah it's like i'm trying to play grand theft auto what the fuck are we doing with this piano shit and like use it later you know what i mean who knows how long i'll be here you know so um but no like my parents were always playing like soul shit you know and then also tevin campbell's album i'm ready to dog the amount of times i heard can we talk as a classic song classic song i appreciate it now as a kid i legit hated that song like they played it so fucking much yeah but also he's like 15 when he put that out to he's he was supposed to be like the next he's supposed to be usher yeah he's supposed to be that was supposed to be his like trajectory yeah they were trying to they were trying to make him like that and the closest he got was um he was supposed to be usher yeah he was supposed to be usher yeah he was supposed power line, which left a mark Mark, you know what I'm saying? If you were a child of that age, Powerline really did mean something. I didn't realize that Tevin Campbell was Powerline until I was much older. Oh, no. I didn't know that was the same. And he also was in an episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Yeah, that's right, when he's singing to Ashley and shit. Yeah, I used to watch Goofy Movie all the time, and I was like, oh, I know that voice. And then I was like, okay, now I fuck with you. But yeah, Eye to Eye, all that shit, that's my shit. Standout, that's my shit. But anyway. He was deep on the album. He was in the deep cuts. I was listening to that shit. Those are classics. But yeah, my parents were always listening to soul shit. So I wasn't allowed to really listen to rap and everything as a kid. I wanted to get 50 Cent's album so bad, Get Rich or Die Trying. My dad was like, no. Because we had a cousin that smoked some weed. He was like, that's why he went to jail. Because he was out here listening to 50 and all that. And I was like, I don't know if that's the soul reason. There was probably a lot of societal reasons that pushed him towards where he went. There was some other things going on. If we really. If we really look into it. Your dad wasn't ready to. No, he wasn't ready. He wasn't ready to let me do all that. But like, so when I first started listening to rap, it was definitely like Kanye because he merged the two worlds. Yeah. Like he was the soul dude that also was. Super Christian. Yeah. That too. But like he was also rapping. So I was like, yo, like I recognize all these samples because I was listening to the original. Like I was the kid that was like, oh, y'all don't know Luther Vandross? Like a house is not a home. You don't understand? That's what Slow Jams is? And like. Oh, sure. You know what I'm saying? He was like very much bringing that. Yeah. Like it was all the stuff that I heard in my house, like in rap music. I was like, oh, this is perfect. You know? Like, and then, you know, eventually Kanye's samples went back to like 1942. So you shouldn't. Yeah. You shouldn't really go that far back in your sample bag. Yeah. It's like if he would have just stopped in like 71. You gotta stay in the. You can't go. 40s? Yeah, you can't go 40s, bro. At least not the realm of the 40s stuff that he had going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not where you're supposed to be. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so that's what I was listening to. Like, that's why, like, I got a big record collection now. It's just because, like, I'm just, like, basically picking up all the albums that I heard when I was a kid and shit. You know? So, yeah. This is interesting because I literally was just having a conversation with my friend, my homegirl, Sam, who is half white, half Korean. Okay. But was raised by the white side. Was raised by her white mom. Yeah. And she was like, yeah, there. Because I was asking, I was like, I'm realizing I don't know what kind of music you like to listen to. I've known, just like a good friend of mine. Yeah. I was like, I don't know what kind of music you listen to. She was like, yeah, I don't listen to a lot of music. She was like, there was never music getting played in my house when I was growing up. And I never realized that anybody grew up like that. I guess I just assumed. Music was played in your house. Yeah, a lot of the times. Yeah. And if it wasn't, if my parents weren't playing it, then, like, I was playing it alone by myself. I really think it's a black household thing. Legit. Like, my white friends, and I'll go to their house now, it'd be quiet. It's quiet. I'd be like, what y'all doing? What's going on in here? Yeah. Play something. Yeah. Yeah, we had music playing all the time. Like, we just had, like, a radio under, like, one of the cabs that was just on. It was just on. It was just like a, like, just like. Sure. You kind of almost, it doesn't even register because it's on so much that. I had the radio on in my house constantly because my parents wouldn't really, they wasn't really buying me CDs. I could only get a CD, like, on my birthday or, like, Christmas. You didn't have the penny thing? Remember that? What is that? What is it? Remember? Do you know what I'm talking about? It's like, you could order, it was like a sheet. Jesse's, like, 17. It was like a sheet of CDs and you could literally pay, like, a penny and just get, like, a bunch of CDs. In the mail? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I don't know what you know. This is. Where would you get it from? Yeah, it almost felt like a scam. You'd be like, I could send you five cents and you'll send me 10 CDs and they were like, yeah. What kind of CDs would they be? The good ones. What? Yeah. Legit. I gotta do some research. Yeah. What was it called? I don't even remember. Just look up ordering CDs for a penny. You know? Yeah. Penny CD club. Penny CD subscription. Yeah. What? Okay. It refers to the famous historic music subscription services like Columbia House and BMG. Columbia House, yeah. BMG Music Services. These clubs dominated the music industry in the 1980s and 1990. Yeah. By offering massive introductory batches of music for practically free, but locking members into long-term purchase obligations. Hey, we don't know about that. I don't know about that. Because that does sound too good to be true. I mean, because it is. So I'm like, what is the other side of that? Come to find out you're putting your parents into thousands of dollars in debt. How could you look at the fine print when you see in all the CDs you want on one sheet like that? I just got the Lauryn Hill CD. For real. For a penny. For a penny. Whatever happens after that, that's up to God. Nothing even matters. Come on. See what I did there? There you go. You're like, I just got the Lauryn Hill CD. For real. For a penny. For a penny. Come on. Man, this is brand new information to me. I certainly did not have that, but yes. Wow. Yeah, dude. I remember, speaking of that whole playing music in the house, I remember that same girl I was in that long-distance New York relationship with, went over to her parents' crib, and I'm cooking for them. And I put on some Stevie Wonder or whatever while I'm cooking. It's like, I want to have some vibes while I'm cooking. And her mom comes downstairs. She's like, why is it so nice? It's so noisy. Can you just turn this off? Can you turn this off? Was this a white family? Yeah. And then she goes, "Mom, what is Stevie Wonder? You got to keep it on." And she was like, "We don't need music. It's Latin." And I was like, man. You were like, now I really got to go. Yeah. First Harlem and now this. First Bensonhurst to Harlem and now this. Yeah, literally. I was like, come on, dog. You turning off ads right now? Y'all are doing a reverse Jungle Fever. In the movie Jungle Fever, the Italian woman lives in Berkeley. And Bensonhurst and Wesley Snipes lives in Harlem. Damn. Whoa. Whoa. Did y'all ever clock this? No. Did this ever come up? Wow. We Freaky Friday, Jungle Fever. Y'all Freaky Friday, Jungle Fever. Yo. Reach back out. I'm not sure what y'all's relationship's like today. Nah, she married and shit. Be like, hey, no disrespect to your husband, but I just had an interesting development. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope y'all doing well. I hope your family is happy. But also, I just realized something. Just check out this Wikipedia. And we was basically doing the opposite. Yo, that's crazy. You right. Wait. Wait. Speaking of, you were cooking at the house. Yeah. Carmen and I were just talking about this. People know you for the Gangsta Chef cooking videos. Were you already cooking a bunch, and you just applied a character to it? No. So I knew how to make simple stuff for myself, like any bachelor type meal, chicken, rice, broccoli, whatever. But during the pandemic, we didn't have shit to do. So I was dating somebody. I was bored, bro. Like, I couldn't do stand up outside of just bullshit Zoom shows, you know? Remember them? Dark, dark times. I was doing Zoom comedy shows for colleges, bro. Like, those college shows, and it's like, college kids don't respect you in person. No. Imagine being on a screen. Especially not on a screen. They're like in their parents' house in, like, Missouri. Yeah, they doing homework. You background noise to them. Man, I was doing corporate Zoom shows. Yeah. I was doing corporate Zoom shows for, sometimes people, sometimes they wouldn't make everybody turn their camera off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I was doing corporate Zoom shows for, sometimes they wouldn't make everybody turn their camera off. Yeah. On. So, like, sometimes it would be just, like, 60 blank screens. Yo. And it'd be me being like, so I was walking down the street the other day. Talking to the void. And you're just, you're, hey, do you, you guys ever, you guys ever having a hard time because of the pandemic? Yeah. And everybody, you see people turning their mute buttons on, so you can't hear them or see them. Yo. It was nasty. Yeah, it was bad. There's a photo that, like. It was a dark time. There's a photo that I, that I'll, that I'll post one day, where it's like, it's me doing a, one of those park shows. Yeah. You know, but they were still doing social distancing, so, like, it would be like, you'd be 20 feet away from the crowd. Right. And the crowd would also be separated from each other, and everybody's, like, wearing a mask outside. Yeah. And you're trying to, like, connect. It was. No. See, that's why I didn't, I moved, I moved to North Carolina, like, first day. Oh, you didn't stay in the city for it. I was gone. Oh, yeah. I was gone. I ended up. Was there rules down there, or you could kind of do whatever? I mean, there were, but it definitely got a little more lax. It was way lax, yeah. I was, I was out, and I was there for a year and a half unexpectedly, but yeah, I started cooking in the pandemic, because I was sitting around watching YouTube videos of, like, Binging with Babish and, like, Bon Appetit, and I was like, I can do that, so I would just go and do it. And then I started, you know, making the videos just out of boredom. I was learning how to play guitar, and I was cooking. How, it seems like you're actually a good cook now. Yeah. But the thing is, is, like, I, people think, like, I, like, I know how to just, like, do a recipe out of my, my own mind. It's like, no, I just follow. I just know how to follow a recipe. You're just, like, picking stuff and being like, all right, here we go. Yeah. I just, and, like, a lot of the videos, it's the first time I'm ever making it. Oh, that's what I was gonna ask. I was like, do you do, like, a practice run? No. Do you, like, ever try to just make it for yourself first? No. Ingredients are expensive. This motherfucker got eggs out here for eight dollars a carton, like, there ain't no practice run. You seen it. What you get is what you get, bro. Almost. I'm only buying this many onions once. That's right, yeah. I ain't even doing this shit. You not getting it. And it's time consuming, bro. I've been working all day to be making all these double bat shit, like, I'm not doing Rachael Ray. Actually, we have it right here. Yeah, you know, this is the one, this is the one butter chicken that we got. Exactly. Enjoy it or don't. You better get this shit on camera, bro. Are you inviting people over to eat afterwards? I mean, I'll, sometimes. Or is that just, is that for you? Sometimes it's just for me. I'll offer the cameraman some, but a lot of times it's just like, all right, well, I guess I got lunch today. Got you. Respect. Yeah. Jordan, you brought us some lyrics today. Yeah, I brought a few, bro. You did your homework. Yeah. I want to give it up to Jordan. Some comedians really hate any sort of homework at all. I know, right? Sam Jay famously got very upset with me for having to do any homework or on any level. Dog, I can hear her doing that, too. Yeah, she was upset. And I was like, well, ultimately, all you had to do was pick two songs. You don't even have to pick which part you want to talk about. That's so funny. But then other comics come through, and they're like you. They're very prepared. Yeah. They got all kinds of stuff they want to talk about. I was like, man, I want to make a good impression. I really like music. And then a lot of these songs aren't even technically, I'm going to put a little asterisk on it. They're not my favorite lyrics, of course. I know the show is called My Favorite Lyrics. It is. And I know it's more of a blanket statement. Yeah. But yeah, some of these, I was like, man, this is just the mood I'm in. Or this just sparked in my head. It came back to me. Normally, I let the guests, when they bring multiple lyrics, I let them start wherever it feels right for them. But I will say, from looking through your lyrics, there was one in particular that I can't believe that we've never talked about on this show. Uh-huh. And it's one that I've thought about for years. And I'm so happy that you brought it to us. OK. Let's go ahead and start here. I got to highlight it for you. Yeah. That's so funny. All right. All right. So the song is Bring It All To Me by Black. With a Q. With a Q. What a name. Yeah. Just Black. Mm-hmm. Two black ones. Imagine. That's the only, that's what you hope it is. Yeah. That's what you hope it is. Imagine a white boy band. The band was called White, and it's just YT. OK. With the way things are heading, we might get one of those soon. We might be on there. I'm going to be on that track. All right. So the lyrics are. And it also sang by. It's a feature. OK. No, go ahead. Do your thing. Sorry. I'm starting to set it up. We're not going to say that. OK. This part of the song is a feature. Yeah. The lyrics are, baby, what's the deal? Would I be too forward if I told you how I feel? Mm-hmm. That's just the way I do my thing. Dang. I'm so for real. Are you feeling my Timbs, my baggy jeans, my thug appeal? That shit. Now. Yeah. Go ahead. On paper, great. By a group called Black. The thing is, those lyrics were sang by NSYNC's J.C. Chazet. This is in that era when they were really, really trying to push the white boy band to take over, like, basically, like. They could have gone. They could have got Boyz II Men to do this. Easily. They could have got. Usher was around. They could have got Usher. Usher was around during this. They could have got Marcus Houston to do this. Legit. They could have got Omarion. They could have got one of the members of B2K. There was a lot of people. There were a lot of options. Who would have said this and made it make way more sense. Right. But no. They said, you know what? Who's the number two guy in NSYNC? The number two. Also, but the thing is, you know what? J.C., if we going, if we doing NSYNC debates, J.C. was a better singer, technically. I don't doubt it. Like, at that time, like, people used to have that. Like, they just pushed Justin because he had the, you know. He had the look. Yeah. Like, J.C. was singing these lyrics, but then they were like, you know what? We going to take everything you just said and put it into Justin Timberlake and give this motherfucker, like, a jerry curl or whatever the hell they gave him. Whatever he had. You know. Can his hair still grow like that? I don't know if. I guess he doesn't grow it. And now he's always keeping it low. So I don't know what his hair, like, naturally is supposed to do. Once he did Suit and Tie, Justin, and did, like, the, you know, the pompadour and all Yeah, he moved in a different direction. So I don't even know if his. Yeah. Now, beatbox, Justin, like, you know. Yeah, yeah. Nasty. Yeah. Nasty work. But yeah, they had J.C. on there. I think about this all the time. And it's like, you were kind of saying, you were saying the lyrics, but I do just want to note. I want y'all to just go back and listen to the song. And he is straight up saying, he's singing it like, do you like it? Well, the way I do my thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing that. He's putting some. The way I do my thing. So for real. Yeah. And he goes, do you like it? My jeans, my bag. My jeans, my thugabill. And then he goes, do you like it when a man can keep it real? He hit the run. He hit the run, dog. And we said, hold on. Even if I was in the studio, I'd be like, all right, J.C., OK, you know, you know, you know you wasn't supposed to be doing all that. We told you to do. But he got hit with the spirit, bro. He got hit with the spirit. He got hit with do you like it when a. Something came over him. Oh, my. Dog. Oh, dog. Would you. Cut it out. Cut it out, J.C. J.C., if you're listening, we know that you are. You know you was fouled for that. But he avoided like all the all the slander that Justin Timberlake has taken. Well, yeah, I think he just he didn't stay in the public eye. He didn't say. Yeah. Like now Justin also got a career. But like J.C. avoided all the. It's true. The blaxploitation of it all. It would have come for him if he got the career that Justin would have had, that it would have come for him. For sure. Especially because he was already. This is probably right around the time. NSYNC broke up or maybe a little bit before. Yeah. This is like when the writing was. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was I feel like this was when they were still popping. This is like beginning because you only doing this when you're trying to establish yourself on the side. Yeah. It just feels weird. The NSYNC would still be a thing. And then like individual members will be going and doing. See, this is when they take like boy band members. They're like, hey, we're going to put you on this song just to like get the public to understand. Like, you know, do a little research. They're going to understand like who you are. Like we got it. We got to like micro dose you into other realms. Just to see like if it catches on. Yeah. Because it's like, hey, you're going to get in this pocket. You're going to get cool with black people. And then we're going to have you over here singing your own songs or whatever. And then eventually like, well, you know, because they got to slow roll you as an artist. Sure. They got to give you a little bit. Because that era, that time, like those 90s. Remember the 90s? It was just like there'd be nameless rappers. Yeah, that's true. As features and shit. I miss that day. I miss that time when it was just like, yo, somebody would come on here. And it's like, who was on the track? It's like Rob. Who knows? Dan. Yeah, yeah. We just got a motherfucker to rap. Also, a thing that I just wanted to do a little bit of research about the writers behind this song. And also, I realized, bring it all to me, 1999. So, oh, NSYNC was still, honestly, they hadn't even still got to where they were going. No. They hadn't even hit their like true peak yet. So this is actually like. This is before Celebrity and all that. This is like actually, yeah, this is actually them when they're still like on the road. That's right before. Like, when did No Strings Attached come out? I think like 2000. Yeah. So like, this is like truly right before it all. But the song is credited to its black featuring NSYNC. But the actual own, the only person from NSYNC that's on it is JC. But I guess JC wasn't established enough. They were still trying to build NSYNC's name up. And I will say, I did look at the songwriters to see. Because when I hear this song, I'm just like, well, this clearly. There's no way that JC was writing about his thug appeal and his Timbs and his baggy jeans. That had to come from somebody else. And sure enough, looking at the songwriters, JC is not even a songwriter on this song. So they did just deliver something to him. And considering the fact that the band didn't even blow up yet, I could see a world in which he's just like, all right, OK. So what is it? So what is it? It's my Timbs and my baggy jeans and my thug appeal. Is that cool with everybody? I don't think he was asking, though. Yeah, you think he was still so. This is the 90s, bro. He's probably like a teenager, too. He was wearing that. In the music. Actually, that makes me want to pull up the music video. He was wearing, like, NSYNC was wearing that shit back in the day. That's true. I mean, I guess. And this is before, like, internet culture and all that kind of shit. Nobody was going to shame you during that period of time. Nobody at all. No, that is like a fairly recent thing where people are like, oh, you shouldn't be acting like that. Marky Mark, when Mark Wahlberg was rapping. Right. He was dressed like Tupac. Legit. And people don't really remember that. Yeah. You know. Whoa, this music video is sick. He not even in the video. He ain't even in the video. JC, if you're listening, we know that you are. I'm sorry, brother. You should have been allowed to be in the video to maximize your Timbs and your baggy jeans and not to mention your thug appeal. Yeah. They hit you with the radio edit, bro. They didn't even let him be in the vid. Oh, that's. It's a cold world. It's a cold, cold world and it's a cold industry. Damn. JC, wherever you are, I hope you're well. This is not really. Real. Oh. Go back. Do yourself a treat. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and run that one back because he's doing special stuff on there. Legit. I'm going to be in this episode of, I don't know, am I allowed to talk? Nobody told me I couldn't talk about this. I got asked this past weekend to do this. Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are hosting a celebrity cocktail show. No way. They're doing. Well, it's not a celebrity cocktail show. It's a cocktail. It's a cocktail show with bartenders. So it's like a cocktail competition show where bartenders are trying to make the most expressive cocktails they could. And I just did that this past weekend. Hell yeah. And so I've met two members of NSYNC. That's pretty dope. We're going to try to get them on the show. And hopefully if the show goes the way that we want, we're getting all five members before it's all said and done. I want every single NSYNC member right here. I don't want to talk to JC about that moment specifically. And ask every member where they were. When they heard. When they heard that. And also when they saw Justin rip Janet's titty out at the Super Bowl. I'm sure they, you know, they've all held it together. I know where I was. I know where I was. I know where I was for Janet's titty and 9-11. Whoa. Those are two very important dates. Everybody can't say that. I am. Two American. True. Two days that will live in infamy. Because also the Panthers lost the Super Bowl. It's true. Are you a Panthers fan? I mean, North Carolina, bro. It's not a lot of y'all. It's not a lot. It's not a lot. That's like the one North Carolina team. Also the Hurricanes. We in the. Oh, the hockey team. Yeah, we're in the playoffs right now. We've won every game in the playoffs so far, so shout-out to them. Hey, shout-out to them. Hornets? Yeah, I mean, I'm a fan of the starter jacket. Sure, sure, sure. A classic. Maybe one of the best ones. Yeah, and LaMelo doing his thing. He's funny. Another one, another artist that somehow has never come up on the pod. Not somehow. It actually makes a lot of sense why this artist has never come up on the pod. But this is such an infamous moment, something that really kind of lives forever in rap infamy. I wasn't really clear on exactly what the words were, but you actually cleared it up for us, so I want to talk about this. Listen, nobody's clear on that. I don't even know if these are the words. It makes sense. When I read it, I was like, oh, that does add up. Because I had to look up the lyrics. Okay. So this is from Iggy Azalea's live freestyle at, I'm assuming, like a festival? Some kind of music festival. I forget which one. She starts it off. I'm not going to go through the whole thing, but I remember she starts it off, Taya Monk's, Taya Monk's. So. Y'all remember? Y'all remember? Then, when she's really in her bag. Yeah. Apparently, she says, I don't care who you are. No killer Mac. Got to give it to you raw. Piss on point. Got to pass my joint. Got to tweeze this beat. I'm going to spray my joint. Straight crack rock. Raw to the pat, pat, poom. Nod to the rap city. No tigger. Yes, shawty. Do it. Whatever I know, nod tigger. Uh-oh. Sounded very different in the live performance. It's the motherfucking nut. It's Iggy, not jigger. Yeah. But, when you listen to it live, it sound like. I just love, I'm going to spray my joint. Straight crack rock, poom, poom, pat, poom, poom. That's my favorite part, y'all. That's my favorite part. I hadn't watched that video in a minute, and I circled back to it, and it really was fascinating because it was a moment where I was just, me and Carmen were just talking about this, where I was like, if you're at a music festival, and you're a little turnt, you had some drinks, you hit a blunt, and I was watching it, and I was sitting on a hill in the back. I'd be like, oh shit, she kind of going it. She's flowing. She's saying it with the cadence of somebody who is really spitting. Really going at it. And if I wasn't, if I didn't have all my faculties, I'd be like, okay. Yeah. All right, go ahead, Iggy. I didn't know you had that in you. But then when you really. When you really zoom in, if you're completely sober, you're like, man, you can't be that Australian and try to rap at all. Said a whole lot of nothing. Yeah. Like, she sounds like she's doing a racist impression of a different culture. It sounds like she's doing the intro to Don't You Worry About A Thing by Stevie Wonder. You remember that? Yeah, of course. Yeah. You speak very, very fluent Italian. No, you don't. No, you don't. I also like at the end of this that she goes. It's Iggy, not Jigga. And it's like, yeah, no, we know. We certainly have learned at no point where we're ever like, wait a second, is this Jay-Z? Is that Jay? Hold on. Is that Sean Carter from Bed-Stuy Brooklyn? Could that be who that is? Everybody stop what they're doing. I think I might be a white woman. Could you imagine? No. Yeah. That moment became like a vocal stem for a little while. Which, it's Iggy, not Jigga? No, just like. Just the whole thing. Got to pass my drug. Got to spray my drug. Got to spray my joint. Yo, that shit. Dog, that stuck in my head for a good while. That's such a crazy thing that she was doing. Because the thing is, like, her body language, bro. Like you were saying, like, if you turn and you see the way she's going, you're like, oh. She's got that energy, right? Because she's like doing this shit. And then she gets down in the crouch. She's getting down. She's rapping to people. She gets in the crouch and she's like face to face with the crowd. The crowd's kind of into it. Yeah. You can tell the crowd's a little confused, but they're also kind of like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Shout out to whoever translated that. Whoever translated that, like, I want to know. I want to know what you want. Like, you a polygot, bro. You know every language. And I will say, first time that word's ever been used on the podcast. You might be the first one. Shout out. People want to say negative things about the North Carolina school system. North Carolina's standing up, bro. Yeah. You know, raise your shirt up. Yeah. Petey Pablo raised us well, bro. Shout out Petey Pablo. Also. When he was in Drumline, bro. No, that was mystical. No, that was Petey Pablo. That was Petey Pablo. You're right. Yeah. Incredible film. Incredible. I never would have thought that that was going to be, like, the peak of Nick Cannon. It really was, though. To me, like, that movie came out when I was, like, in maybe fifth grade. And I remember seeing that and being like, oh, this is, like, this is the new guy. Duh. You know? And even watching back. Like, I rewatched it, like, maybe three years ago I rewatched Drumline. It still holds up. It's great. It's really, really good. It's great. Like, especially, like, a movie for, like, teenagers. Incredible movie for teenagers. But overall, just, like, pretty solid. Yeah. Dog, I was playing Snare, like, at that time. I was in concert band. So when it came out. Oh, so you was lit. I liked. Were you allowed to? I was always confused about there was the one guy in that other group or in the other band that he did. I had his shirt in there. Are you allowed to do that? Or was that just, like, a flourish? I think he was just a fat nigga. That's it. Like, I think he was just. His helmet didn't fit. Yeah, he had the KFC bucket on his head and shit. He was just, I'll put it down like that. Yeah, he was just fat as hell, bro. He looked intimidating. Yeah, he did. I will say that. He had the joint in his mouth. I didn't know you were allowed to do that. He looked like he bit kids when he was younger. Probably did. Yeah. When I, when Nick Cannon played the drum, when he played the other guy's drums, I was like, this is the coolest movie I ever fucking seen. And then the guy, did the other guy punch him or did he punch the other guy? No, they, I think. Somebody punched somebody. Yeah, because, well, the thing is, like, did they come up, did the opposing team come up and play Nick's drum? I think that's what it was. And then Nick was like, fuck that shit. They started, they started wowing. Somebody. Imagine a marching band. Imagine you seeing a marching band fight, bro. Yeah. And it's challenging. Think about marching band people you know, and think about them fighting. Never would have happened. Hilarious. Shout out, shout out my homegirl, Janae. She also played the drums. Yeah. We knew each other since we were little. I don't think she, she's really, really good performer. Yeah. She not throwing no hands. The band nerds were beefing, bro. You know what I mean? The band nerds. It made the, it made college band look tight, which I guess if you go to HBCU, it probably actually is. It actually is. It probably actually is. But, you know. Like, given the context, they in college, so it's cool. But like, high school, it's like, y'all band geeks, bro. Y'all can't, y'all doing this because you can't do. Yeah. You can't do the thing that's happening at the. For real. Yeah. We had one kid, I played football growing up, and we had one kid who was on the football team and also was in the marching band. That's crazy. And so he would take off. He didn't have no halftime? No, he had no halftime. He was also, he wasn't, he was mainly the long snapper. He was really good at long snapping. Word. That was really, that's mainly why he was on the team. Hey, bro, I can throw the ball between my legs real far. So he was a long snapper, so he would long snap for the field goals and for the punts. Damn, I don't remember this kid's name for the life of me. If anybody I went to high school with listens to this, who remembers the varsity football team from many years ago? Hey, man, nobody ever really remembers the long snappers, and it's like, that's the real injustice that's going on in the world right now. Also, I don't think any of my high school football teammates are listening to this podcast. I'd be surprised if it was happening. You know. But yeah, he would take off, at halftime, he would take off his helmet and his shoulder pads and pick up like a. Play that thing. A trombone or some kind of instrument like that. So his instrument was long, too. Hey, yo. Hey, yo. My snaps is long. My brass is long. You would keep the football pants and cleats on and put whatever band thing on at the top and then go play and then come back out. Yeah. Shout out wherever he's at. This is so funny. Real high school musical ass. Yeah, for real. High school musical four ass plot line. Yeah, legit. We probably got time for one more of these before we get into the voicemail. I think this is another song that I was really glad that you brought that also somehow has never been included. Let's go into overtime. Yeah. All right. Oh, hell yeah, dog. Yeah. Okay. This is back when Young Money was running shit, bro. Going crazy. Going crazy. 2009, 2010, sometime around there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is it. Yeah. Wayne was in his bag. So this is by, this verse is Mac Main, wherever the fuck he is these days. Who's to say? He probably, after this verse, it's probably a rap for him. Yeah. So this is a song, Every Girl. The whole premise of this song, these dudes want to fuck every girl in the world, yo. Ambitious. The entire world. Mac Main want to fuck everybody. He says, Sanai Lathan, Megan Good, Angelina Jolie, ha, D. Woods. For free sweets, I give Paris Hilton all nighters. In about three years, holla at me, Miley Cyrus. Uh-oh. That right there. Yeah. That right there. Right. If you got to tack years on to say it'll be appropriate later, it's like, well, what kind of activities do you think? This is just what he's saying on record. This is Mac Main. This wasn't even Drake, and he was in Young Money. This is just who you're surrounding yourself with. It's like, we understand why all those little red dots were on that, not like us. The writing's on the wall. He said, I don't discriminate. No, not at all. Kit Kat a midget if that ass off, I break her off. Mm. Mm. I exchange V cards with the- R words. R words. Mm-hmm. And get behind the Christian like Dior, because he are. I clicked on the Genius lyric for the last line, and get behind the Christian like Dior, because he are. And Genius goes, this verse gets worse and worse. Because it does. It starts in a place, because up top, you're like, Sanaa Lathan, grown up, grown woman. D. Woods? I don't know. Who's D. Woods? I don't know who Dee was, I should know who Dee was. - She must be like an R&B singer or something. Latham, Megan Good, Angelina Jolie, D-Wiz, we good. All acceptable. Paris Hilton was all up in the. Paris Hilton, that all makes sense to me. Then you get about halfway through. But then you start going into the Disney characters. Now you're aiming at a 16-year-old. Yeah, yeah. And then now you're aiming at little people. Which I guess, hey, you know, if there's very little persons of age, live the life that you want to. And listen, he said Kit Kat admitted that ass off, I break off. I'm going to tell you right now. That ass is going to be soft. Sure. You know, you've seen a little person. A lot of hype right there in the ass, bro. Hey, man. Live your truth. Live your truth as well. I was saying that to Mac Man, and now it feels like I'm saying that to you as well. Yeah, I'm just saying, like, he's probably like, I get, you know. If you're a little person, you live in the greater Brooklyn area, Jordan's around. No, I'm good. I'm spoken for. Jordan's around, and it sounds like he likes what you've got going on. I'm just saying, for him, I'm just saying. So just if you're in that community, all in like a Facebook group or something like that, reach out to Jordan. Statistically, for Mac Man, okay. Jordan's studying your statistics. Yeah. But then you're out here, you know, doing everything else out of pocket. Yeah, exchanging e-cards with the R's. Yeah. That's not, that's really not what you need to be doing. That's not what you need to be doing, bro. That's really something. And that also, not only should he not have been in that bag, I feel like also collectively, when people was in the studio, I feel like they should have been like, uh-huh, making good. Uh-huh. Hey, hey, hey, man. Hey, bro, you exchanged, hey. Calm down. Hey, man. But everybody was on lean, so it's like nobody knew. Right. Everybody, Blaine was like, ha, yeah. You know, he was just rolling with it. It's all kind of sounding good. Yeah, but name dropping at the beginning, that's fine. Like, he was just talking about hot-ass people, you know? Like, same way, like, in the Monsterverse, when Jay-Z came on, goblin, ghoul, zombie with no conscience. He's like, it's just monsters. Tough. You know? I love, I love his verse on Monster, because he lists a bunch of monsters. Then he goes, question, what are these things? What are these things? It's all in common. And it's like, hey, Jay, we done figured that out. No, trust me, you don't got to lead us. You don't got to lead the horse to the water. We're aware of the theme that you've landed on, but it's a little bit insulting that you feel like you got to ask. Yeah, Nicki Minaj came in like, I got to clean this up. Yeah. One of the, you know, in hindsight, one of the few times maybe that she would really out-rap Jay-Z, but she really did it. She really did it. She really did it in, like, a special way. She shined on that. Yeah. Yeah. Can I just say? Can I just say real quick? Go ahead. Because for this, every girl's song, like, that is toxic masculinity, what he's doing. Of course. Also, taking it way back with this other song I provided, I've Got a Woman. Ray Charles. By the one and only Ray Charles. This is also peak toxic masculinity. Well, yeah. Because he says in one of the verses, he goes, she's there to love me both day and night, never grumbles or fusses. Uh-oh. Always. Always treats me right. Never running in the streets or leaving me alone. She knows a woman's place is right there in her home. Now, Ray. Yeah. You giving very 50s right now. Hey, man. He could only be the man from the time that he was in. Hey, this motherfucker can't even walk around without her. Yeah. And he's singing about her like this? He's saying, I'm going to go around and do what I need to do. You stay put. Yeah. All you know is her wrist, bro. You don't know shit about her. I love you saying that and then be like, take this shit back. Take this shit back. Take this shit back. I'll say everything I need to say. Get out of here. Jordan, we're going to get into a voicemail before we get out of here. Word. So grab, there's some headphones right there. I'm going to eat. Hi, Devin. Huge fan of the podcast. The song I want to talk about today is called Run Run by the 046. It's a New Zealand rap group, which, by the way, get into that. Their slang is honestly so silly. When they try to sound hard, like they call cops copos, which is funny. But anyway, it's on the run run on Apple music in the lyrics. One of the rappers says the N word, which larger discourse there. I don't know why Polynesians feel like they can use that word. But anyway, it says instead of like an asterisk, asterisk, asterisk. It says in parentheses, sorry, I'm white. And then it continues with the lyrics. And I just think that's funny. And yeah, get into a vo46, a New Zealand rap group. Thanks. Huge fan. Loyal listener. I hope I get to hear this. Bye. Well, this is interesting. Hey, shout out to her for snitching, yo. This is also interesting because she's like, yeah, it's a white rap group and they use the N word. You should check them out. Yeah. She's not really. She's not selling it in terms of making me want to listen to also New Zealand. Yeah. She goes, these guys are so silly. Anyway. Anyway. These guys are so silly. They use the N word on a regular basis. And they also say copos. So why don't you go ahead and do that? And check that out. We'll see what these Kiwis are up to. I'll say, I forget. I don't think you left your name caller wherever you are, but I will say you got it. Next time you call in, suggest one more thing. Send us an email. Maybe of a group that's not white people that say, nigga, that's just a good place to start. Yeah. Even Jack Harlow don't do that. And he's been wearing all types of hats that we've never even seen before. Jack Harlow started making black people music and started wearing hats that not even black people had ever. Yeah. Even Wyclef John looking at it. And I'm like, hey. How did you get that? Someone please call 911. Yeah. Jack is a. He think he John B right now. Yeah. Yeah. That last album is giving a little John B. Did you listen to it? I did. Because it's like, I'm going to see what's up. Yeah. You're curious. I also listened to it. Yeah. There's like two tracks on there that I actually fuck with. I don't think it's bad. Yeah. I think that to me, my take on it, I get why everybody wants to make fun of it. Yeah, sure. That is the most reasonable thing to do. But I also will say that I think Jack Harlow is actually doing some of the most ethical wiggering that you could possibly do. I think he's doing ethical wiggering. Ethical. It's ethical wiggering. He's like E-dub. You feel what I'm saying? Because there's a version of wiggering where it's like, oh, now you're doing Coral Rose and now you're doing like that guy Ian. You're putting on a voice that like you've never used before. You're like, you're trying to rap like Gucci Mane and you're actually just like a kid from like the Dallas suburbs. Legit. And there's all kinds of shit going on like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ethical wiggering. To me, I am like, this is a version of wigger that like actually doesn't even exist presently anymore. Nobody's even, it took a certain level of bravery for him to make a song with like a Fergie flip, like a Fergie sample to actually be like, oh, I'm going to actually make music like Life Jennings in 2001. That's Life Jennings. Yeah, exactly. Damn. And I guarantee you he knows who that is and 90% of white people in America do not. Yeah. And I, so I do think there's some ethical wigger tree going on there and I, I do, I got to give it up to him on, on, on that level, even if it's not like a album that I'm going to return to very often. That's right. Yeah. That's fair. Cause even when them 20s stop spinning. And them gold digging women disappear. Come on. She'll still be here. Jordan, before we get out of here, you got anything you'd like to plug for the people? Yeah. I got a special coming out on YouTube called Bits and Pieces dropping June 23rd. Let's go. Please watch it. I self-produce it. Just, you know, your boy spent money, so get the ad revenue up. Also, I just think it's funny. So just watch the special. The special's good, dog. What date is it again? June 23rd on YouTube. Jordan Fisher, Bits and Pieces. June 23rd. We'll try to get this out around that period of time. And also go follow Jordan if you don't already.
