You was in legal with 19? 21, 22. 21? Oh, where? You got a bag of USC? Whoa. The Girl Pants of Comedy is that it's one of the broken art forms until it's not. I think in high school, you're the man in college, you're the man in the NBA, you're the man for a second, and then there's a conflict. And for a second, yeah. Oh, oh, oh. Lucky, ready for this? Ain't no size to be a comedian. Anybody looking at me and going, that boy, you better get that boy on some stages. I think if I get his shape, I can get you about 10. 10 minutes a night. 10 minutes, OK? I can hit some 30s for you. So you had to get in shape for 10 minutes? Let's go. Welcome to the shop. I am one of your host, Dylan Steele of Brown. Try to stocko down in here. Yeah, like this. Thank you, brother. We were just talking about shopping. I know. Did you, like, trip-- you didn't trip that? Yeah, I have a problem with buying clothes with paint on it. I think it's-- there was a product shirt that Niggas used to wear that had stripes and flames. And I saw some people in the same shirt. And I was like, oh, I can never be a Niggas who wears the same thing as somebody else. And so ever since-- I got that shirt. He just hit it on me. I got that shirt at home, y'all. Well, that's how you wore it, though. I don't wear it anymore, because everybody is wearing it too much. Dylan Steele of Crop 1. Yeah, it used to be-- it was a vintage. They brought it back out. It was from before, yeah. Brother, it's hard to find clothes, man. They're unique. So I'll be trying to find some shit that just be like, oh, no, I spent a lot of time on deep popping ebay. I get to bad thing. Before I go to sleep, I'm usually, like, fading into sleep, looking and shopping and bidding. But this better than, like, I got lazy at one point, and it just started spinning too much on clothes. And it wasn't because I'm like, the richest Niggas in the world is more like, look, I'm just lazy. Because you are. I just don't want to think about this shit. I'm not that rich to be buying that type of shit. I don't think we're going to talk about it. We could break it down. Break down what? Open my bank account. [LAUGHTER] They have a bank right here. Dude, real quick. No, no, I ain't got no money. That's it, brother, that's it. No, but I was just buying a whole bunch of name brand shit and I started feeling like, when I was broke, I used to put on fits, I felt like. I just, like, really, it challenges you to dress. If you can even dress well with no money, then you could dress well with money. Just change your style. It should just change your access. Yeah. But what you have, you bought this yourself of Deepop? Deepop. Are you having a Rose Bowl? Yeah. It used to be? OK, my Rose Bowl thing is everybody goes to Rose Bowl at, like, 10 am, 9 am. I used to get the Rose Bowl at 6.38, crack a ass. It could be out by 9 o'clock. Get what I need. Find some random kid who's buying something to go sell. Buy it from him real quick. Quietly. Get on my-- bro, what? I love Rose Bowl. The biggest for now. Yeah. Now everybody just does the same shit, man. They priced everything. I used to collect vintage teas way before I was there. Oh, man. I have, like, a collection of, like, 1500 vintage teas. Still to this day. And, like, they're worth, like, a lot of money. But only because-- A vintage-- huh? No, it's not-- I bought them when it wasn't a thing. I bought the teas when they was, like-- When two-packed teas were $100. You know, like, Miro's just walking up and down getting teas back in the day, like, I've been here a little bit, like, close to 20 years now at this point. So he used to do the vintage shopping down there at Rip. But now I feel like it's-- you'll go into a shop. You'll see a two-packed tea or, like, a-- I'm trying to think of, like, a ODB tea. It's all like that, like a-- Oh, 30 bass at Rip. You're very rare. They'll be, like, this three racks. You're, like, for a fucking t-shirt? But then you got things. Somebody will go in a Gucci and buy a three-packed t-shirt, and not that eyelash. - They just made it. That's another thing, though. To me, it's, like, the price of clothing is ridiculous at a certain point. There is, like, things that I bought that I've been, like, damn, this is so far, I'm obsessed with this thing. And then I get it home, and then I end up not wearing it ever. - Hi, man. - And that's the pain where I'm, like, 1,500 gone on these pairs of dumb ass things I don't give a fuck about. And since then, it's, like, oh, I'm finna buy dickies. The only place I'll really go spend money is, like, Ralph Lauren in the road. And outside of that, we chill. - The road, all of y'all know about that. - Y'all probably do. It's a lot of money, you boy, getting over here. - Yeah, he put me on. - Never that. (laughing) I don't wear the road. - Yeah, okay, I don't. - Okay. - That was nice, though. (laughing) - It does. - Isn't that Mary-Jay-Nashley? - Yes. - Damn. - That's average, that nigga is. - He shopped at Mary-Jay-Nashley. - That's crazy. - It's not bad. - It is. - Whatever. It's a great brand. - It's great brand. - Today, we have two amazing guests. - Yes. - CP, aka Chris Powell. - Yeah. - No boy, Nick Young or Swaggy Pizzles. (clapping) - That's how you know you do tricks. - What the hell? - What the hell? - You know what, you know. - Yeah. - What are you doing? - Oh, man. - Y'all talking about some bullshit. - What you talking about? - Mary-Kaden, I ain't know the Hattestor. - Hey, hell yeah. - The road. - They, they, they, they billionaires, I mean, they were already damn near billionaires before this, but they are billionaires from that brand for sure. - They made cigarettes at like seven years old. - The road? (laughing) - My stress, my stress here in Hollywood. (laughing) - Full house, it's my ass, wait, I got my stardot. It was full house, man. Then it was stuck in grade and then, you know what I'm saying? - Bro, you was the one who fucked up the whole game for everybody. You start wearing leather and all these young people. - You say leather, it's like I just start wearing leather. That's the only thing I wore. - No, no, no, he's the only thing I wear, leather. (laughing) Them niggas started to fall, you know what we gotta do. Like, tunnel fence is the whole thing now that you like, you just get dressed 'cause you wanted to be a little fresh ass, little nigga, but now look, bro, these are my fuckers. It's ruining their lives, bro. - And their money. - For sure. - Y'all look at this, man. - And the other, man. - Bayes on jeans, it's jeans. - That's crazy. - And custom. - Ex. - Six, six, nine. - Six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six. - And sell them nothing. Nobody wear a 34, 45. (laughing) - And his rules, like, you get blew out, they're still post the picture and all that. They don't care anymore. - What'd you mean? - Oh, he's in the players. - But it was your craziest fit you were, like, that you feel like, you, 'cause I had a fit, I won't redig this one time, I had a one piece rumper on. - Oh, essentially. - And it hunts me to this day. - No, not for real, nigga, but it was a one piece rumper. - It looked like I worked like an 80's, but it had no arms, it was horrible. - Oh yeah. - So I can't sleep. - That was like, damn, I made a mistake. What was your big mistake, like? - It wasn't a mistake at the time, but when I look back, it's like a little facade shirt I had a, you know, but looking back, wearing facade, she was all that. - Oh, you had like the me go, yeah, me go, yeah, me go, yeah, me go, yeah, me go, yeah, me go, yeah, with the fishing Louis Vuitton. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. - It spikes on it. - Yeah, he was going like, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, just disgusting. - You sure you did. - Yeah. - Just disgusting. - I was saying you're like, damn. - What's the, what's the, what's the, what's the, what's the facade? I know the facade, I know the facade. - What's the facade? - facade is crazy. - That's a fun issue, huh? - Fuss actually. - You feel like there's like, did you have like a closet full of shit you just never wear again? That you're like, what the fuck was I on? - All the time. - That's crazy. - And you don't take it back, that's the crazy. - Can't. - It's too, you have to go to a bride to return some shit. - You selling? - Hey, well back in the, like, I don't want to return it. - Which way you was in league, it was 19? - 21, 22. - 21? - Oh, where? - You got a bag at USC? - Whoa. - Oh, man. - They're like, you're taking it now. - They ain't like what they're getting now, bro. - They ain't back. - They ain't back. - How you feel about that, bro? - Yes. - How do players feel about the fact that you're out? - I wish we could get a percentage, though. - That should be, it should be, that should be, yeah, it should be. - It should be some kind of back pain, especially if you had that kind of impact. - Well, 100%. - Eelsome, I never feel, we got $3 million for one year. - Damn. - They're going to USC. - That's great. - Yeah. - To think, bro. - This board is somebody making in the league, bro. - That's true. - How would I go to the league and be a second-round pick? - Yeah, guarantee you. - To that point, though, that one thing saved college sports. - It did. - Like college sports is now like, it's like a league almost. You know what I'm saying? - They're more than they do. - They get more than they do. But as far as, like, how they, you know, like, the effort. And, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's like, I didn't think it was going to pay for real for real. - Do you think it saved it? Or, like, did it hurt the sport? - I think it saved it. Because, for example, right? - You got 26-year-olds playing out here now. - Yeah. - Trying to go back, go back, 'cause they like-- - I feel you. - That's crazy. - What? - I was giving out buckets in the middle of the years. I could have been playing. - Yeah. - No, I got it no more. - But also, it was 32. - 32. - I think this is the last year. - I promise you to do that. - 32 on what? - You see, he lied on this. He was like, he lied on this. He was 27. But he had, like-- - He flooring. - Yeah. - He lied. He was 27. That's too old to even lie. - Three kids. - Three kids. - Live on campus. - All of them on campus. - 32. - Mark. - Honestly. - Damn. - And it ended up. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's the same. - With Jonathan Camiga. - All free food. - Fuck y'all. - We take all this. - It is one thing to be like, oh, I snuck into the team. I'm 22 or 23. 32 feels like you should not be your friend. - That's true. - You're a predator. - Yeah. - Get out of college. Please go home. - I think some people do some crazy things out there. - Right. - Yeah, it's crazy. - Going back to high school is the craziest thing I've ever seen, bro. - Honestly, no, a whole bunch. - Yeah. Like, it has to be like, 22, going back to high school, trying to-- and just yamming on them little niggas. It's like-- - Yeah. - It's like, bro. - Here's somebody's dad, sir. Like, why are you living here right now? - That's crazy. - Just got in trouble for that. He was like, 26 years old. - Yeah. - A lot, and like-- - He could have had a girlfriend in first hour, and she'd be like, "Get back." - That's sick. - That's crazy. - The college coach joined the team. - The girl team. - Wait, what? - It was a girl. It was like a D2 team. There's some shit that had a woman as a coach, and she just said, "Okay, hopped on the team." As another student, and-- - Kill him. - Body. - Kill him. - She had like, 35. - Respect. - Yeah, for real. - If you're going to do it, do it right. let her go pro. - Yeah. - Who what? I mean, I feel like, yeah, at that point, why not? - Yeah, what's wrong with that? - I want to do women have a different age back in their sports where they're like, yeah, I brought it 40, whatever, 41. Is there a 41 year old woman who can just give buckets still? - I mean, 41 is 41, bro, actually. - I mean, I feel like Cheryl Miller, when the WNBA first came out, she was like, what, she's probably like 40 something. I feel like she could have probably, I mean, Cynthia Cooper won the league, was like, she was like 35 already something. They started the league in those years and she was already older, so I feel like, I don't know. - Yeah. - Maybe you could pee, you could pee. - Yeah. - Yeah, fuck it. - Read the grind and gonna be able to play this too. - I can't play that 40, 51. - I think I could, I think I could play, actually. - You could, you think you could, you really play right now? - I think so. - How old are you? - 41. - What makes you play your style of play today, or are you just saying? - Yeah, yeah. - It took everything, man. - You never know when this next series. - No, that is. - He will look to his actual laugh and he'll be like, "Okay, I guess, I think if I get in shape, it's shaped like, go back and get in shape?" - Yeah. - I can give you about 10 minutes tonight. - 10 minutes, okay. - I can hit some threes for you. - How big do you-- - So you had to get in shape for 10 minutes? - Show me, this is the NBA. - Shit, on my way out. - Oh yeah. - It's picking on me, man. - On my way out, they call it three plays on the road with me. - Isolation. He scored every time, I said, "Damn." - Is that when you know first, as always? - Yeah, that's what every play says. Like, you watched that little young motherfucker run around, and you went down and just banged and you, like, it's over where-- - What's the biggest difference between the NBA now and then? Like, if you were rookie now, what would you, like, the landscape being what it is now? What would you do? Would you do the same way you did it or would you be like, "Oh, fuck this." - Yeah, I think it's a little more freedom now than let the guys be them. Like, when he came in, he used to find a pun, like Instagram, all that, they brought me in the office when I did a forever 21, you know, I did something with them, you know, a little campaign. I am who I am, you know, so they brought me in. They was like, "Are you serious about basketball? "Do you still want to play basketball?" - What? - Over that? - Yeah, over there. - 'Cause it-- - Oh, what the fuck? - Now you got a kid. It's like, you got a brand deal, layman. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. - You know what I'm saying? - That's true. - That's what I'm saying. - We don't know if you're working out if you're on post-show videos now, so. - If you don't post workout videos? - Yeah. - I think the post-show-- - All season videos have ruined the NBA, bro. We got people, all season videos looking crazy, and then they come into the league in their buzz. - For sure. - It has all the time. - Oh, hi. - I mean, you said if you don't post videos, you can get in trouble for that. - Yeah, now they think you ain't working out. - What's funny is, this is a whole, you know, this is jumping over a little bit too much, but like, there was, what was the girl's name? They got drafted, like second. This might be a controversial take too. Got drafted, like second in the NBA draft, like a year or two ago, Kaiser. She was the thing, Dave and James Brown, of course. - Yeah, whatever. I thought she was like really good. - She was really good. - Oh, she was crazy cold. She's cold-looking. - Yeah, cold-looking. - I know, yeah, not balling. - Well, no, I don't know her. I don't know her as a basketball player. - That's who was with him. Course out, when he was talking about Bronny that one time, remember that? That's who was sitting next to him, of course out. - Yeah, but her name, like, Kaisa Ria. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, she was on a team on the sky. - Yeah. - To the team by her post, and even though I thought she was a superstar, just off her page, it was like moving so much through socials and online. I was like, "Oh, this girl's gonna be a superstar." She got cut, she was averaging like two points of game, something like that. But partner was like, she's actually bringing more awareness to the NBA and to the teams based on, like, actually capturing this stuff. So it makes sense today, like, we want you to post these things. It probably helps to brand. - I will say the other day I was in France, and I saw a bunch of WNBA girls. And I fanned out, bro. I lost my fucking mind when I saw Sue Bird. I was like, "Oh my god, I feel like I'm gonna go, so I feel like I'm gonna see you." - That's one of those things, like, my sister, I grew up playing basketball, and my sister played basketball as well. And so, like, yeah, WNBA tickets are way cheaper. So I went to a Mad Sparks games, bro. - Floor seat was 30. - 32 dollars for Floor seat. So my idea of going to games. - Right, that's that was crazy. - It sounds like a joke, bro, but they were really, I remember this, so they were 32 bucks. - No, they don't sound like a joke, I believe. - Lil Romeo performed it the game, I thought it was up, bro. I was like, "Man, my sister got a play in the WNBA, this shit lit." - He performed it in a set of, of course, I was like, "Yeah, what's up, man?" - 30 dollars seats, but no. - I do think there's an entertainment factor into the NBA that makes it exciting in this way, right? I do think that, like, obviously, pride plays a part. You're like, "I don't want the rhythm lowered, but I want it to take for me." It's like, you do know that you're getting more highlights, and more, then you get more TV time, which then brings more people. - So this side of me is like, "Oh, you were to just lower the rhythm even slightly." Your percentage probably goes up so much of people who can dunk now. - Bro, nine feet rimmed, that's not asking them. - I think nine and a half, I think nine feet is disrespectful. I think nine and a half, you're good. - But do you really want to see a girl just-- - Yes, I would, I would, I wouldn't see that. - I watched that WNBA-- - Catch your body! - I will say, I watch play great basketball. - Yeah, it's a art form in that state. - Yeah, there's some players, like, there's this growing-- - I'll win you, there's like, technically, this movie's good. - Oh, there's the shit good, yes or no. - Look at like, Drew Drew walkies, bro, Drew Drew's a luckier. Like, I can walk-- - Yeah, like a sheep, bro. - Yeah. - Put your name in, like, one of the best-- I mean, Drew Drew's incredible. - But it always takes, in any sport, it takes one polarizing person to shift the sport. That's what Katelyn Clark did. - She did shift the sport. - Everybody's like, "Oh my God, basketball, basketball." But it's like, bro, there's plenty of people who were before, who were a nasty, but they just didn't polarize. - Yeah, but it's like-- - It was like-- - Change your reach, good dunk, that a change. - That's what I'm saying, yeah. - Well, I'm not watching no girls come down like LeBron. - Oh, I need to see it, bro. - I want to see it. - I want to see it. - You wouldn't even like to see it, you say? - No, I don't want to see that. - I don't want to see that. - If we have never seen it, hey, a girl catching an oop is crazy. - That's crazy. - That's time. - You don't-- so you don't even person like to hate and slap? - I like it, but they know, I like the way they play it now. They played the-- - The right way. - Yeah, they played the right way. - But they also came and shooting like stuff. You got Jew, Jews. - I have this favorite WNBA player, Sonia Citron. She is so nasty, bro. She played like Kyrie. Watch her, bro. She plays-- - Oh, it's-- - Oh, handles. - She wasn't drafted, right? - She's on the message. - Bro, she was nasty-- - What a holler, bro. - Who was this new girl with the glasses? Lil' light skin, joint? - With handles. - What's going crazy? - Crazy, that's what I'm talking about. - She's a rookie, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She went undrafted, right? - The one that just be-- - Yeah. - She going nuts, bro. - Yeah, yeah. My favorite page, beckers, beckers, or buckets, that's what I'm saying, but yeah. - Rakyia Jackson, she's my favorite, I guess. - She's great. - Mara, more my favorite, over though. - For real? - Yeah, she was just a whole lot-- - All right, buddy. - Yeah. - To see-- - Yeah. - She tricked us to get the nigga out of jail and then she married-- we dealt with it with that. No, we can't say that, love that. - How you feel about NBA fans in Iraq with NBA players now? 'Cause you got like Malik Beasley now whose it's curtains for my boy, or is, you know, is what it is. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - The reason I don't gamble on games is how to fear shit like that. Like, I can't trust a dude to have a game that I expect him to have. Who knows what you got going on in your life? Your baby mom could be tripping, you know what I mean? You could be-- - How can you get caught for gambling on a game? Did you watch it? - They make it too much. - He was doing too much obvious stuff. - He's proud, man. - He thought he was smarter than the system, brother. I want you to know something about white people and money. They've been a figure out where it's going all the time. - 100%. - Do you think you're scamming the government? Oh, from PPP? - I don't know about that. - Look, pull up. - But you want to look bad, though. - It was what he was going to make out for them. - A million years. - A million years of make off of that deal. - 2.2. - And he lost 41 million? - That perspective. - Yeah. - What are we doing? - Right there. - Yeah. - Right there. - I want to get stacked. - If I get hell of minutes, I want to try to get 20. I'm not trying to get eight just 'cause-- - Always thought it was like 10-5,000. - I thought it was like, you ever seen a bullet or money? - I can get it. - That's what I'm talking about now. - I agree. - I agree. - He's gonna use him last. - Right. - He was super valuable. - Oh my gosh. - Oh my gosh. - He used that nigga so bad. - And they hand it out money. After like every single day, I see a new name of a nigga. I do not know. - It is. - Just getting over one year or $20 million contract. - Or one year or 18 million. And I'm like, who is this person now? - I end up looking at Tim. He's number 10 on the roster. And I'm like, they're handing out money. Why would you want to play with that? - It's confusing. It's very confusing. - If I was him, I'd have gone to it. And like, I would have flew to Mexico and never looked back. I'd taken my 40 M's and did. - Or you could shoot the fucking basketball. - Yeah, man. - And make it happen. - You can do it. - Yeah, man. - What are we talking about? - Hey, they are a hundred and three. - Two-pot character. Characters like that, bro, in your life. Who was it? It was talking about, I think it was Mike Bealy. He was talking about like, when he made it to the league, when his mentor has gave him a book, with all his McDonald's receipts. And everything he ever did for him, he had to pay him back. It's like, bro, like, you know, a lot of these castes is meal tickets to the hood. And it's like, bro, I need you to miss full five shots tonight for we beat your ad. And it's like, all right, cool, so far. - Be my ad, man. - Be my ad. - I'm curious, bro. - I got you. - I feel like that. - Yeah, yeah, we're niggas. But your mom is niggas. - I probably got caught a couple of times. - I'd have to get them niggas. - They catch you real quick. - They catch you though. - No, I'm saying they catch for sure. Yeah, they look cousin. Bro, they looked at, uh, there's a video of Janus after Malik measly misses a shot and like shakes to this face. He got happy and somebody was like, bro, he knew he owe some. - Any bro. - Yeah, he was so, oh, he was so mad. - Yeah, bro. - He saw my brother. - And he said they're not signing Janus brother. - Yeah, of course. - That's the best gig he ain't niggas had other than he'd been on ridiculous news. That's the best gig he ain't niggas ever had in life. That was just like, yo, I'm just the plus one. - It is niggas. - Man. - Millions of dollars. - That's something. - It's crazy. - It's crazy. - It is when you think about it like the, I'm like, man, bro.

God damn anyway, too niggas wrong So look they gave you a brief right and in that brief is where you create everything these niggas So like hey, so like they'd be like, you know This got to talk to like a mom and like you know the mom is the one who make all the financial decisions in the house And so like we're really catering it towards her so everything got to be like friendly toward a mom and what a mom would think about it Then they say go write it So now you got to write within these guidelines like from a mom's voice. It's just it's very very like Particular because they think that it's like a lot of money every spot a whole bunch of millions. Yeah, for sure Yeah, like did you ever feel like that you had to To write something that like you were like, oh this thing. I don't know. It's your views But like you're like, okay, I can you know get in line with this even though I might not be yeah, man being 23 24 doing that I had to think about it like dog like nobody knows that I'm writing this shit. No credits roll Nobody like oh, I saw your one shit and I was like, bro I'm too young to be like settling for this background ass like nobody know me as job Yeah, you know, I'm saying something him go ahead do comedy where everybody knows me and I'm funny right there And you know, that was just the best place for me Stand up is my biggest friend the world I can stand on the stage in front of a hundred people and make one joke and I'm like great I'm done and then I got to make another one and keep going. Oh, brother pressure bills. I can't do it personally I want to do it sometimes I think about it, but I also have such a High respect for it and understand like what comes with it. Yeah, I know the niggas who got a grind I'm like, bro if I came in I got a bag on me already I look like a fool was like you got here just doing this shit for fun while niggas is trying to eat like that's crazy work I was I'll jump it on back in this like you in an actual fraternity, but like I feel like I'm around a whole bunch of comedians all the time I got a whole bunch of comedian friends and I feel like in the comedy space It feels like it's a sense of like being in a fraternity way. I'm like everyone like I'll do one of my homies You know like We'll be at like the comedy store somewhere and all the you know comedians on the back It's up and there'll be somebody I clear as they don't like their views or like what they represent online like how do you manage Stuff like that like being like why can somebody do a joke or something? I'll use the Kevin Hart roast I just came up where he's a clear racist jokes happening like how much of you still respects them as a stand-up and them being in the fraternity versus you like Nah, I'm gonna you so here's a thing bro. What we got to realize is this Everybody's racist. Let's stop the bullshit Everybody races because everybody loves themselves everybody loves itself like everybody like I love black people because I'm black So also a little white people because he's white. It don't mean that we can't fuck with each other But it's like a joke is supposed to take it to the next level right so like If I roast a black dude for having some nappy ass here and and some a wack ass outfit It's just that if a white dude doesn't he's being racist, and so we have to look at the creativity first and be like Oh, like is it funny or not like Keele Tony bro I was I was there and I was watching it. I'm okay, you know In that vein of joke. It's funny. Now. We all knew that these niggas had some crazy views against black people, but it's not necessarily Against it. It's just like bro like I'm a comic bro. I was a white people all the time But you still have to me probably creative Yeah, I'll let you you like what the fuck kind of joke is bonds. I treat like here's a thing bro. What's funny is? KF so little a bonds like I get this joke right and so and so but but so the whole thing is that if a black dude would have said it Right, it would have been funny and the thing is like so you know It's it is a very very tricky area because It's creativity and you have to allow people to get these shit off like in my opinion KF should have went harder on them at the end. I was like niggas tag me in can I roast the shit out these niggas and it's like bro because My problem is this I think that a lot of these white comedians think that they're more creative than we are But to me they're not the those even when you talk about that that what I'm particular that wasn't really I don't think that creative versus like if you can write a A creative joke is it used to be whatever, but if you can write a creative joke I can get behind that I don't know about necessarily agree either with like oh if a black dude on stage and he's saying this person got nappy here I would look at that and be like that's fucked up. Well, I don't think but I don't think we can be racist Right, my own take it. I don't think we have power. I don't think we have the power to be raised We be prejudiced. Yeah niggas be prejudiced all the time But we actually need power in order to be raised. Let me say this though. Do you think every white person has the power because all of them don't I think I think I think Systematically and it's usually yes, no not every single one that's I'm saying everybody for saving it like imagine this right because member Remember it member Eddie Professor, right they should pay Eddie Murphy called they should pay off shit locks Remember he had that shit on his head look at shit locks, right? It's like if a white dude would have said that all of a sudden It's dissing the culture is see here. Go to theme bro. Like every white dude does not have the power. It's some it's more white Dude's on eBT than anybody right and so a eBT joke should essentially land in there like land on them harder than it lands on us sure It should yeah, but right there's been a lot of work that goes on around us that allow that for that not to be a lot of Tricking and trick. So what happens is I think that and this is my opinion as a comment I think that we have to focus on Getting better at because like racism is one thing Racist jokes is something else you can like black people and still roast somebody who black so like We have to separate the two between like oh, are you really a racist or is this just funny because it's funny And so it's like you know when it's that and you know when it's the bullshit. Yeah, but yeah I can agree with like is this really racist like I know there are comedians out there White knees. I actually am cool with who may benefit and monetize and work within that realm like oh I know that my listener my audience is more mega. I know my audience is more, you know right wing So I'm gonna lean into the you know, but if you know by yourself and nobody else knows you're doing just as much harm I can defend that and say okay just cuz you know like I'm not really racist I just said those ten racist jokes back to that full-white crowd But then you've done Let me give you an example kill Tony right Tony Henscliff He made a joke about Kobe the day Kobe passed, but he's just not funny, but listen everybody was mad at him Right and we was all pissed. It's like nigga shut the fuck up, but what are you talking about? But the joke? Bro, he said oh my god Kobe passing. No Simple and it's like bruh. I'm sorry. That's a fucking like If you don't care, that's more creative. That's more creative Also still the time is a time place What I'm saying more about to me is like it's time to place for everything. It's a time place for everything I get that I'm a person who laughs at funerals I had that nerve. Yeah, I'm everything. It's fucking hilarious But him saying that broke was like I was like man Fuck he why would you say that today? Why would he say that anyway? But it's like man if a nigga would have said that it would have been like maybe two weeks from then It would have been like man. That's kind of funny and I hate that it's kind of funny So I'm just you hate that it's funny because of how how fucked up it is Yeah, but that's like saying like oh like I don't always I don't like that comparison It's just like yeah, cuz there should be things that are sacred to certain people right like writing should be done for you you in your experience. It's like, yeah, if there's, yeah, me, call my friend, a nigga, and then it is that. And some white dude comes up like, "That would've been funny if it was a block." I was like, "Yeah, it was not funny, no, "it's motherfuckin' said it." So, it does make a difference, you know what I mean? Like, so I don't know about, like, even using him as the example constantly, 'cause I feel like he only goes into that-- - He's made a career out of that. - 100%. - So, I did roast me, I did roast me, right? It's a dude on there. He's paralyzed from the waist down, right? His mom brought him on roast me, he's black. His mom brought him on roast me. - His mama ain't shit, let's start with that. - Let's continue. - So that's what it is. - His mom brought some on roast me. - I'm talking about, like, we roasting this shit out, 'cause, like Craig said, this nigga had a dream that he was walking in and woke up in a handstand, right? (laughing) Right, right? It's like, bro, I said that. - Dude, what? - I said that the nigga got bit up. The nigga got bit by a shirt on his leg, and they ain't tell 'em for weeks. Like, bro, then the nigga went home and died. - 'Cause of y'all. - The nigga went home, bro, and died. - Hey, hey, hey, you telling this to me? - No, I want you to know. - No, no, you bitch. - You going to hell. - You never told that. - The nigga went home. - That's some shit you're keeping yourself. - What you been doing? - I killed this nigga, man. - I told 'em, I told 'em. - No, no, no, no. - No, fuck it, that nigga. - We need a laugh. - No racist, right? - We need a laugh, no racist. - No racist, right? - He was so last week. - He was so cool. I couldn't even watch them episodes of us roasting him now, 'cause it feel different now. Like, that nigga died? - So he said, "Can't we hear something that cool?" - What's your name? (laughing) - No, the point I'm trying to say is like, to your point, it's a time and place for everything. Everything is funny, relatively speaking, right? Me roasting him about being paralyzed and Craig doing it, it's cool when he was alive. But then you go home and pass away from your complications, from being in the fucking wheelchair, and now it's like, damn, and all these moments is viral. Niggas hear me, like, "Yo, roasted that nigga, the devil." Like, man, stop, man, we didn't do that. But it's like, it's crazy how life can happen. See, swagger, you ain't shit. - Go on the hell, bro, go on the hell with it. - Well, let me get this money then. God damn, you know? (laughing) To that point, though, everything is relative and how it can be funny is just, it's all situational. You know what I'm saying, but in a roast, like that, y'all don't come to, like, I roast black people. Like, roast me is a different kind of roasting, right? We roast top level. We don't go to, like, your mom is dead. Like, there's something about Cheryl Underwood's husband being dead. - Niggas, what? - I'm like, goddamn, and she got to sit up there and smile and be like, "It's all good." - She's never knew either. - She never knew what, that there's gonna say that? - Never, they never prepped on that day. I went over, like, three other jokes and then never mentioned that. - So that's not true. That's not true. - I know for a fact that Cheyenne and them had approached her about doing that. She's even said that, too, and recent interviews that they did come up to her and say something to her about it. They was gonna say that, you know what I'm saying? - But she said that it wasn't, like, they didn't tell her exactly what the jokes were, yeah, they just said, "Are you okay with what I'm mentioning?" - Oh, yeah, I mean, but you know, at that point, it's like, "No, I'm not okay with that." - Yeah. - Like, bro, like, Niggas, if my wife passes away, you know what I'm saying, God for me, but it's like, Niggas, ain't no joke about that. - That's what it feels like. - I've been a turn in this bitch. I was gonna be, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, that's what I'm feeling. - You know, we from the Midwest, you know, they didn't even laugh everything, you know what I'm saying? You gotta check some shit. Tom Brady checked the shit we had there, oh? - Yeah, he did, he told them they got to take off the-- - They told him about that bell check shit. He said, "Don't say shit on the mouth." - Yeah. - And walked over, and that shit was never said again. - It was never said again. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Black folks didn't really trip on that that much. - We didn't. - It was white folks. It was like, "Guys!" (laughing) - That was great. - He fucking slapped him. - Yeah, that was awesome. - I thought it was a joke when I was watching. I thought it was funny. - He too. - That was amazing. - He put a good bit. - And then he got back to the seats. And then I was like, "Oh, this has been gone too far." - Yeah. - I started to get eyes watering. - Yeah. - Leave my wife out the mouth. I'm like, "Oh shit, this is real." - Yeah. - It's such a proper slap, too. - Yeah. - The follow-through was like, "Yeah, yeah." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he was gonna make a slap here. I was like, "Damn Chris." - Yeah, that was great, bro. - What are the growing pains in comedy? Like, growing pains in the NBA, you struggle if you're not having a good game or something. All of the Martin unfiltered podcast? - Here's what you missed. - And the argument is, do you want to win? If you don't win, you have no power. - It's real. - Those are the very people who I always say voted against their own economic interests, and they complained about the very thing they were seeing. - It's raw. - I knew that the issue of transgender athletes was not going well with a lot of black men. - Roland Martin unfiltered. - I went off, I said, "This is exactly what I'm talking about." - Y'all gonna scream at Chanel, but you don't wanna see a black luxury company in the same van. - Catch Roland Martin's daily commentary on the black information network. - 12 seats, those are moving south. So if you Democrats, you don't wait to 2030, you better be hitting the ground, going a heart in the south now. - And download Roland Martin unfiltered on the iHotRadio app, Apple Podcast. - Wherever you get your podcasts. - The girl paying the comedy is that it's one of the broken art forms until it's not. - Yep. - And so what happens is, you know, you borrow money from your family all the time, you're trying to get to these shows, you're trying to get to the point where you can really get paid and bruh. People get sick alone and you shit, and it becomes, get a job, nigga. You become like the talk of the family. - That nigga doing that comedy shit. - And it's like then, all of a sudden, it flips. And now it's like, nigga, now you got the most money in the family. And now it's like, no, I don't wanna let you all borrow shit. Fuck y'all, but really, it's like, if you're the first comedian in your family, bro, the growing pains are insane. Like nobody wants to hear that. - I'm gonna say everything. - No, 'cause listen, I got cousins who played sports. We was at all that games because we've seen the sports story unraveled in front of our eyes for people who we know on TV. We've seen Swaggy P make it, right? Are you the first NBA nigga in your family? - Yes. - Yeah, we all saw that. We all saw you at the draft. We all saw-- - But the pain, the pain, the pain, and all that still there. We've seen this struggle comedians. - Right, but bro, but you're somebody-- - How about you to tell us, how about you, how about you, how about you to tell us, bro? - It's a matter. - I didn't have no, in I-O. - You see a six foot, in greater, somebody, I mean, I ain't get that nigga a butter. - I do think it's different what you saying, like, oh, basically not saying you're a burden, but you're somebody else's responsibility until you able to like, oh, exactly. - The birthday, your pain is more like, I become the source for everybody, I have to basically-- - Yeah, okay. - Yeah, look out of that bitch. - That bitch is that. - But still, like, you still live with your mom, and you still at the house, you still ain't got the shit you want. You still, I had a Dodge Neon. - But bro, whatever it was-- - Yeah, Dodge Neon, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And you ate your beef for that. But listen, that shit, ah, that shit in high school. - But here's the thing, you know what I mean. - Got a college, yeah. - Bro, like, you ready for this? Anybody looking at me and going, that boy, you ready to get that boy on some stages? Like, it's a certain, like, you know when somebody has the ability and the tools to make it. - I disagree with you though. - I'm like, you a funny ass nigga. And I feel like people can tell you for a long time. - Oh, absolutely. - This boy is so funny, he's-- - He's gonna be the one. - He's gonna be the one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Every family has a funny-- - I didn't say-- - I didn't say you were wrong. - And every family has a funny-- - Who the fuck is your family? - Every family got to get a hoop, too. - Yeah, nah. - My brothers. - Everybody thinks, hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh yeah, nah. - I got a little curse in the hoop. Shout out to my cousin, BJ. - No, BJ, I'll call. - Okay. - Yeah, BJ, I'll call, but you know, like, you know, my uncle, who was my aunt's wife, you know, I mean, my aunt's husband, his family got athleticism. So he got brought in through that, you know what I mean? - This isn't even y'all jeans or DNA right here. - He brought this to them, y'all, okay. - No, it's my aunt's son. But I'm saying, I know. - He's dad is, but you don't do me that, brother. - Yo, we got, we got, we got, shout out to BJ, he all we got. I'll do that, I'll do that. He the half, that isn't my family, nigga. - I respect that. - Hey. - I respect that. - Yeah, just think of me as shit, though. - No, I was just think of that. - But, but to that point, though, it's like, I had been the funniest nigga in my family for a long time, which always had me puzzled, like, bro. Y'all don't think that I can make it be in this funny, but you know, I quit advertising to do comedy. I had a whole career that I stopped. And so, they was like, what are you doing? And nigga, like, you leaving, that was the best job my family had ever seen, corporate level. Like, traveling and so for me to not do that and start doing comedy, the people who love me were worried about me. They was like, bro, are you gonna be able to do this for real? - Nigga, perfect example. - My very first show, my very first show, right? - I'm funny crackies. - My very first, nigga. - Those are ex-committees. - Crackers are hilarious. You understand me? It's something about crack. They make you be like, all right for my next beat, you know what I'm saying? - Good. - But, my first show, I got a stand-in-o-base in my very first show ever, right? And so I was hooked and my mom was there. And so my mom invited my aunts, all my cousins. What'd you say, bro? - She said, fuck you up. - Yeah, it did, it fucked up my whole. And so, when she brought all my cousins and my aunts and all of them, the next show she came to, I don't drink, but I have fans at this little bar. They're like, nigga, get you all wrong island. I'm like, nigga, I got a fan, I ain't gonna turn out my fans. I got drunk, forgot my jokes. And they roasted me the whole night. And so my family was like, oh, hell no. - Everybody from the first week was like, man, bro. - Everybody got a call. - You got her, where you going? - Well, you're all parking there, ran with us, nigga. Nigga, I was like, yeah, I'm gonna stay here. But I forgot my life, nigga, I walk home. - What about you? There's like a situation where like you, I think in high school you're the man, in college you're the man, in the NBA you're the man for a second, and then there's a-- - And for a second. - Oh, no, no, no, no, hear me out. - I didn't know where he was going with this. - Hear me out, hear me out. Because when the NBA is a bunch of niggas, who are the best niggas? - 100%. - Wherever they were. You were the best player at your in-your-seat, in your state, in college, and now you're here, and now it's a bunch of y'all that are the best. So everybody in the NBA to meet in their mental is like, I am Michael Jeffrey Jordan. - Yeah. - Who else? - So at what point were you like, damn, I am just like the rest of these motherfuckers. - I never felt like that. - No, I felt that. - I never felt that. - For me, it was more about the political side, like I don't know about the professionalism and all that, that kept me off the court, but going into practice and stuff, I didn't feel like nobody on the team could really mess with me. Well, I was with the Wizards, so. - Yeah, you was me. - I was selling there. - I was at a draft at that, yeah. - The Wizards? - Yeah, so. - You were gripping the Wizards. - I was saying, yeah, I played a lot of 2K. You played 2K, right? - Yeah. - He was like the greatest player ever on 2K. Awesome, my favorite player is on 2K ever. - But I also had a guild too as my vet, so. - Yeah. - I know, that was crazy. - That's crazy, that's crazy, that's crazy. That's like, get up to the Greek as you're fucking. - That's crazy. - That's so old. - Dude, really? Oh my God, bro. - Where'd you go after the Wizards? - Philly, but that was like a pit stop then. I came to LA. - And was that professionalism changed everything? Was it night and day compared to Philly and DC? Or was it kind of one of the same? - No, it was night and day leaving. The Wizards coming to LA, even from, they had breakfast and stuff for us. They had lunch there. You could buy them and stuff. - DC, they would just pull up. - I mean, who gave it right in the fridge? Or hanging over there? - That's crazy. - That's crazy. - Gotta bring your own donuts. That's what they used to have me do. Get breakfast before practice and stuff. What's Philly, you know what I mean? Practice out of LA fitness out there. - Damn. - Show me, show me. - I know you wonder why certain franchises have got hell of championships. - For sure, this is just like, so what's so hard to gain? I know you aren't there feeding this thing. You need a bagel or something, God damn. - You got her playing pick up at $25,000. - Yeah. Damn. - Well, LA fitness is crazy, not. - You don't even think that for NBA team, you know? - And I mean, LA fitness argue like, this is not the least. (laughing) - You're just playing Nick as well. - Nick is calling plays at LA fitness. - Time out, when I do this, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know, I don't know how to play. I'm here for cardio, I am five, six. - I am five. - I feel like in acting, like for me, I will say like, I started off on a good TV show, a big show, and then when that shit got canceled, it was like, welcome back to life of the last boy, like, that's the thing. - Damn, I don't know what I'm talking about. - Bro, 'cause you think it's all sweet. - After, for me, retirement. - Yeah. - Yeah, after the NBA, that's tough. - How tough, what did you find yourself getting into? I thought that was tough for a lot of former athletes to find a new purpose, I guess, so to speak. - I got into pretty much everything. - It's not like drugs, it's not like drugs. - How'd you say that like that? - Nah, nah, nah, yeah. - You was on drills for real? - I don't drill. - How about saying Nick and Nick? I taught Nick on drills, crazy. - Scattery! You're just like a short, niggas sport. - Nah, really, I was impressed. - I really was impressed. - You were impressed. - How'd you fight that depression? I thought that mean anybody, that makes sense. - It takes time, 'cause you still want to, you know, it's something I've been doing all my life. Then when you go to like LA fitness and stuff, they start talking trash, like, you back here with me. What you doing here? - I'm not caring about no niggas. - Y'all ready? - No, no, no, no. He's under me. - I was a niggas, I'm starting to say that. - Damn, Nick, you hit him. - You can even fucking life. - Dude, those niggas, you go already. I hit with you, niggas. - Yeah, you still feel like you can go and, you know, get out there, it hurt, it hurt for show, for show. - Let me ask you a question. Who ends your career? You or the league? - Who is? - Who ends it? Literally like, 'cause some players lost their gutter. Like, niggas, what happened? Is it just like, wow. - For some people, you know, everybody came to LeBron. So I felt like the league was forcing, you know, like players like myself, J.R. Smith, we all was kind of dealing around it anytime and so. - You said earlier, you felt like, I mean, I feel like I've been around you. If anybody been around you, like a super goofy in a good way, like a funny, good dude, a very like lovable guy, like very charismatic. Like, do you feel like that, I wanna say black, that black joy, so to speak, like play the part and like teams did, like I think teams want you to, like be serious if nothing else. And I think you can do two things at once. I joke too much. I tell jokes, I don't say. But I like to think that I still do my job, okay, and I do what I like to do. - Sure, I got practice. I went to practice on, you know, outside of practice, I worked hard, but I used to talk about, you know, the smile, you joking around, some time, so. - It's crazy. - Yeah. - It's crazy, I mean, you think that a smile would be good for the life, right? - Yeah. - That's crazy. - That's crazy to think about, right? - I feel like myself trying to do everything in a woman and don't work, so that's where it's like, you came from. - I feel like you still took it very seriously. You feel like you still, if you could, I guess, go back in your career. There was one thing that you could do or anything within your NBA career. What would be the thing that she was like, okay, I do feel like this would have changed my career. You got a great career, too. - What triangle? - Trying not to go to the Wizards? - Not going to help that. They drafted you, right? - No, I wouldn't say that. - You worked out too well. (laughing) - Now that team was just crazy. Like I think I got bunched in with like Javelle McGee, you got Gil, you got a 100 blast. Like that whole team was just like a circuit, so. I feel like going there, we got labeled a lot, you know? And then, shacking the foos and being out there with, you know, Javelle was the king of shacking the foos. - He was, yeah. - It was a lot. Gil with the, you know, all that, so. - And that's the media really plays a part in that stuff. Like because Javelle is like, you know, he played in Chicago. He went to Hellsburg and says, "Can I play against my high school, Jim?" That was a great player, a really talented player. - But if you, yeah, but if you don't shacking a foo, constantly people look at you and label you this thing. And I feel like, because you can dress, because you smile all the time. People may label you something that's completely different than what you're actually like. - For sure. - Yeah, 'cause if you know basketball, you know Nick is nasty. - Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, Nick is like walking bucket in a half. - That's where I think it's like, for a basketball fan, for people who really know, you wouldn't think about it. But yeah, to a random person walking down the street who just sees you on something like that, and they're like, "Oh, he's talking this stuff." - That's 'cause people don't really know who's. And you can't expect a random average fan to know what who's really like. - But then there's also the side of, like, bruh, they got to move tickets and they got to make sure that the team has the niggas who the city wants. Just, like, I remember, like, not understanding why everybody was mad at Dwight for smiling. And, man, I'm like, "Damn, Nick is niggas living his dream." Like, Nick is like, "Coffee." - It's just, "Hey, Goddamn." Like, "Well, I'm trying to think about a car or a few." And, you know, it's just having a good ass day and niggas come out here and play and be like, "Oh, man." Like, he's been to go, "Fuckin' have a fuckin' eightsome." You know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah. - Think of a fuckin' show. - A show. - A show. - You know what I mean? - A big ol' bag of madness. (laughing) - And then your wife was like, "He keep doin' this shit." - Yeah, shit. - He own all of this, I'm like, "You own all of this." - Yeah, that's a big ass bag. - That was a huge bag. - That's just number one person. - Who's going to Costco to get Coke? (laughing) - Goddamn. - Actually, it was hilarious, I go a lot. - Yeah, duh. - You even started boxing? - No, I didn't do that. - I didn't do that. - You started boxing. - I told you, I was on drugs, man. (laughing) - I was just trying to follow myself. - Oh, shit. - Where do you think you landed with Fanny or so? Do you think it happened through trying things and failing or did it happen through like self-time and sitting with yourself and like, dealing with yourself without anybody else around? - I think a little bit of all that, everything. Kids, you know, kids getting older. Ain't being a dad is fun, bro. It's fun, being a dad is fun. So I got more time with the fam, but pretty much just trying shit, and then getting back into it, being back on the scene, Gio came and put me on a podcast. You know, he came and got me. So I'm-- - Congrats on that, too. - Yeah, that's great. - You know, fine enjoying that. So, it's been cool, it's been cool. - I think fine enjoying other things is important, man. - Yeah, for sure. - I think a lot of us get stuck in what we do or want to do, and that's why a lot of people come back to the same things or like, that's why Michael Jordan comes back to play basketball. 'Cause he wants to fill the roar of a crowd. - Yeah. - What's that feeling? You craving that, or rapper retires and comes back. 'Cause you want that feeling. - Yeah. - But I think it's okay to let things go. And I think it's nice that you've figured that out rather than figuring it out, it's self out for you. - And yeah, you said like the NBA got you out, but like, you got to ring for you left. - For sure. - Yeah, well, there are a lot of niggas. You got to A on the group project. I'm like, you're chilling. I think you maybe had two shots now, hold that. - That final look. - I think it was like, you know what, fuck it. Well, yeah, we got to fucking again. - Ah. - Bro, what? - Fucking again. - Yeah, bro. - I forgot about that ring, Swaggy. That's kind of hard, man. - He's got about his ring. - Oh, shit, bro. - Oh, man. - Did you sell it? - He's selling. - Come on, come on, come on, come on. - Look at my crack, hey, bro. - Yeah. - This is my crack ring. - Give me $35 for this man, man. - I always get sad about seeing a nigger ring online. - Bro, breaks my heart. - Man. - It does, but it does it. I think at a certain point, that they do to you and the mental of it. Like, it's a ring, but the significance of it truly, like, you could just lose it. Like, you could lose anything else. Any other piece of jewelry. - Yeah, by the way. - Obviously it's harder to earn. There's a lot of things that tie into it, but. - The academy and like, the inmates and stuff, like if you aren't about to sell your trophy, I think they'll buy it back from you first, [BLANK_AUDIO] I think the NBA should have some kind of system or program in place that if somebody is that, like we already said, I think X players should 100% get way more of a cut up this CBA agreement and those pensions like need to go up just 'cause these people built the NBA that we see today. - You got those motherfuckers who finesse it and then that's when the situation's become where that's when they got worse. - You got big baby, whatever's the big thing. Davis is like, bro, you made a lot of money but now you're trying to finesse us out of more money, like - I think sometimes you just got it like, it's one that's so hard. - That's so hard for him. - That's hard for him. - It is. - You all know here, get inner city kids out the hood to come play basketball. Somebody with some inner city shit at some point. - Somebody gonna be like, it's a lick here. - Remember that, I gotta hit it. - Remember that was giving y'all hard time. - That is hard time. - Because if that's grabbed all of them, waters and gator rays and took them home. Y'all remember that? - Y'all know what I mean? It's like opened up a freeze. It was like full of waters and shit. Like after the all-star game and some of that. He just fed up a big ass bag of like, free waters and gator rays and took it home. - He make his brother get it. - I mean, that's what I'm saying. He get it and niggas like, y'all know what the fuck? But it's like, bro, like, you know, I hate to say it but it's like, I'm not for a round here. - Yeah, right, you can take the grease out of niggas. The niggas out of grease, you know what I'm saying? But I mean, it's into the day, bro. It's like, the finesse is just a part of life, bro. That's like your mom saying, say you 10. So we can get in this movie instead of saying you 11. - Yeah. - That's gonna happen. - Yeah, it's gonna happen. - No, I'm with the kids, man. - You're like, swag, you say you to daddy, say you to daddy. Say you to daddy, daddy, you daddy is your son. - You don't say until I was 14. - Niggas, real shit. Yeah, I said, hide in the trunk that goes to the drive-in. - You got to, we'll put the cover on you. - You and your brothers just lay in the back. I'm not even farted, I ain't even gonna move. - Damn it. - I ain't never gonna drive in, bro. - Really? - From here, bro. - Hey, how's it going? - He had it, John. - How's it going out here? That's not too far. - I went to it maybe like two years ago. - I'm from this city, brother. Where is that? - The one Janna Jackson that got shot at all the people with injustice. (laughing) - I was doing that. - I was opening. - I was opening. - No, no, no, no, that was, that was, that was, that was, - That was the opening. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, - I was going to cover city. It was one of the covers city. You were going to bring them all head up against the wall? New York looks and all that. - That's a real LA bullshit. I used to feel sunglasses from there. I think it's the wall. - Up against the wall, if that was like fair facts before, fair facts. In the wall, you got to up against the wall. It was like some cool ass dude working there. He was like, what up, what up, what up, dude? You know, that shit look cool on you. He's like, he said shit. They don't say shit. It's the locker, mom. This shit is so cool in here. I'm like, I like, we're here. - Up against the wall. It's not like you under arrest. I'm trying to figure out like. - And it was an urban story. - Yeah, yeah. Well, he had a little mohawk. I stole that shit. I stole his swag. - A moh? - Oh, wow. His name is Swaggy G. - I think it looked the way. You look at me. - You are on the new barbershop show. - Correct. - Yeah. So, you know, I got, I'm only a guest star on there though. - What's still amazing? - Yeah, right, of course. And then I'm also a writer-producer and an actor on the DR from Detroit. - Okay. - That's coming back July 29th. And I'm the host of the new comic view on BET. - That's what I'm most excited about. - Love it up! - I'm most excited. - I mean, we all grew up on comics. - Absolutely. - It's like one of those things in black house. - Yeah, your parents, your parents didn't told you go to sleep. You come outside and live room still here in the background. - Yeah, I mean, coming from something. - I think it was our intro to a lot of our favorite comedians over the last 25 years. So, you know, they brought it back like two years ago. - From that piece of crap. - My ex-host. But now, I think that BET, proper, you stupid. BET proper with the new, with the new president, shout out to Louis Carr. They're coming back with a whole new attitude about it. They put an actual money into it and resources into it. Like, BET Awards was like dope this year. I don't know where it's like one of the best award shows that's been out. And so, I think that what's going to happen is, like, to me, it's like this. - Best award show out? - One of the best. I mean, check this out. Clear, let this man talk. - Check this clear. - Check this out. - What's the better award show for us than BET Awards? - I like the award. - The image award is pretty good. - I like BET Awards. - I already knew I like BET Awards. - This one though, with Drusky Host and the way they killed that, bro. - Yeah. - That's real. - And so, you made me get what I was going, "God damn saved." - God. - Swagged. - The best. - The best nigga. Yeah, he was on crap. You don't remember. - That's the thing over a new attitude. - And so, like, you know, this time feels different, bro. They actually went out and got some very good comedians. They got an amazing host. - Me too, nigga. - Yeah, I know that. And so, basically, like, they're just, they're excited about it. And they already, you know, grandad is season two already. - Well, worth it, bro. - Congrats on that. - Check clear twice, y'all. - Yeah. - Don't know. - Come on, buddy. - Yo, that's the name. - Hey, you're back. - Yeah. - You're on a new podcast, correct? - I'm on the shot. - Yeah, as you are right now. - But what about the podcast? - The shot. - Okay. - Yeah. - Yeah, it makes my third guess. He's our forever third guess. - Look at your gravity. - I like it here, man. - Yeah, I mean, he was kind of nice. - How do you enjoy podcasting? - Do you think it's like, it's like hanging with your homies all the time, but there's a part of it that's a little bit of work. And then you get done with it, you just feel like you're gonna work him. - Yeah, for sure, for sure. - Hey, you know, you get that feeling, like back in the day, you get to go on a road, you can, you know, do a lot of shit. You know, you can fly sometimes. - Yeah. - What are you trying to say? - Talk. You get the talk. - Say he's enjoying it. - Yeah. - No, you can enjoy it. - No, you fly. - Nope.
