Speaker 3: Last night, and it's it's phenomenal, dude.

29
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: It's tight. It's a it's a straight up hour number one.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: Which is interesting.

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 4: Because with the credits baby yeah.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: And we watched it all the way through the credits,

33
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: it's like you've reward us for watching through the end,

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: which I appreciate. Yes, And then what I liked about

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: this one is it is such a cohesive idea, like

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: from like the through line from the first joke to

37
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: the last joke has an overarching theme about just society

38
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: and how people are fractured. But in ways, in some

39
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: ways that makes us almost more together than not. We

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: just don't recognize it anymore. And still was extremely funny, man.

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean, just hats off to you, man. It was

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: amazing special.

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Man. I started and ended the special

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: with the same sentence, And that is one thing I'm

45
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 4: stupidly proud of. And I don't know why, just in

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: terms of you know, it's like gymnastics, man, you want

47
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 4: to do something to get you know, like that seven

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: point three degree of difficulty. Yes, I tell you who

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 4: do it? Though it is Ali Sadik that brother had,

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if it was Domino effect two or three.

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: I think it was two, where he starts the show

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 4: with a premise and then goes, but first, let me

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: tell you this, and that's fifty five minutes of other shit.

54
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: Right then he delivers the joke that he set up

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: at the top of the show. I was like, God damn, yeah, motherfucker.

56
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: That's that's beastly. That's a magician right there.

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Man, how long did you work this out on the

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: road before filming a special.

59
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: About a year little low, a little under. I quit

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: Daily Show that October. We take this in September. I

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: had about half of the jokes in the clip already

62
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: by the time I quit Daily Show. But then the

63
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: more I started writing on it, because you know, you

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 4: quit the show, like, ain't no new TV gigs and

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: let me get my shit together. I got to get

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: back to the basics, get back out on the road.

67
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: So book about thirty weekends and bang bang bang bang bang.

68
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: And then once we got closer to September, the debate

69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: was whether or not to put any part just for

70
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: the folks who ain't seen it yet. There's no politics

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: in this, right. It's like one or two policy point things.

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: But I don't sit in anything like like, I don't

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: even I dabble and race, So I'm really talking about

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: race that much this time. I did that for three

75
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: straight special right, So the bore I started writing the material,

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 4: the more it all started looking like it was like

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: focusing into one spot on one thing, and it just

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: became about loneliness and just connection. Just we don't talk

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: to we won't talk to each other no more.

80
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 1: No, we done.

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 4: That's it. That's all this shit boiled down.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: As an introvert is interesting because I never liked talking

83
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: to people, but I liked the world where people liked

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: talking to people. And and now that everyone's trying to

85
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: come to my side.

86
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is two. It's getting too much. Guys.

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: We yeah need y'all to be able to communicate with

88
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: each other.

89
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: It's like, did y'all not built for this?

90
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: And I am not? Roy?

91
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: How was it going from having like the TV show

92
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: to going on the road, because you know, when you're

93
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: doing a TV show that takes up a lot of

94
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 5: the year, you go from that to like book book book, book, book, travel, travel, travel, travel,

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 5: How did you make that transition?

96
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: It was? I mean, that's the basics. I did that

97
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: for fifteen years before Day Show, if we're being honest,

98
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: So I was just more dusting off the old muscle.

99
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 4: The thing that was weird was having free time when

100
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: I got back to New York. Like that was the thing, Like,

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, like, for a minute i left Daily Show,

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: I felt like a like you know when your parents

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: were tired and your daddy retired and your mama like

104
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: you need to get out this house and just be

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: home time. Yeah, it was like that, So like I

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: was happy to go back out on the road. And

107
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: then I also it also gave me a little bit

108
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 4: more time with my son because now I'm not dealing

109
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 4: because like my first specials I did while I was

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: still actively on the Daily Show, so I'm either traveling

111
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 4: for work or I'm traveling for me. So you know,

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 4: I lost a lot of weekends for that. But it

113
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: was for the most part, it was it was good.

114
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 4: The only thing that was kind of weird. It was

115
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: like going to new countries and stuff, Like I went

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: to Canada for a month and toured just because I'm curious,

117
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: what the fuck y'all talking about that? Right? Let me

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: just see what's going on? Oh, y'all hate y'all leader too.

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: All right, I'm going back there.

120
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: Man, Is it weird now doing stand up with Like?

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: I feel like the difference now, like you gotta have standards,

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: Like you've become a name, you're somebody, you got accustomed

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: to a certain lifestyle. Is it different not sleeping in

124
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: your car or you know, like doing you know? Or

125
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: is this are you roughing it is? It's like, listen,

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm back to the little Kenton end, Like this is

127
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: the old school roy is back?

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: Are you like me?

129
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 5: Booze, you're going? I ain't never going back. Once you

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 5: get to take the first class, you'd be like, why

131
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: would I go?

132
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: Why would I go?

133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: Down? I still is the thing. I will play a

134
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: shithold open mic in a random city. My reputation is

135
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 4: such that if I'm in town that there was years

136
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: where I was doing this tour for this white radio

137
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: show called the Bob and Tom Show, and that's syndicated.

138
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: They're basically like white time Joiner for middle aged white

139
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: folks in middle of America. Right. They owned seventy markets

140
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: and they do their version of a sky show where

141
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: they would go to town and do it like four

142
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: five comics. I would do that show from like seven

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: thirty to like ten, and I wasn't the headline on

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: the show. So I'm done at eight thirty. Bitch. I'm

145
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: cross town at an open mic by nine fifteen, and

146
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: the young comedians who were there, they were like, oh,

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 4: why he drove it? Where are you're coming because they

148
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: didn't even know the show that I was on. What

149
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 4: was happening. I'm like, yeah, yeah, but going back to

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: the embassy suite, motherfucker. So there is part of me

151
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: that enjoys that struggle and fear because I'll be honest

152
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: to that side of the game, no caring. Is that

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: leaving the show gave me back some of the h

154
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: that I think you need to, like that almost fall

155
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: off the chair feeling. You need that periodically through your life.

156
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: I do. At least I am better when my back

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: is against the wall. You put me in the fourth quarter.

158
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna figure it out. I left the show and

159
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: did more in a year than most of the time

160
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 4: when I was on the show.

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, he out there, out there.

162
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at the stats. And I sold a

163
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 4: special to Hulu, I sold the book, I sold three scripts.

164
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: I'm in two films coming up this year that shot

165
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: in the last year since I left Daily Show, one

166
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: with Keanu Reeves, the other with Andre Holland and du

167
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: wander Wise and the Kobahari. So for me, that's a

168
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 4: good year.

169
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Right, that's a great year.

170
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: That's a good year for a lot of people.

171
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: So that's is good five years.

172
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this though, like, because you also

173
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: got the TV show on CNN, right.

174
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 4: So that happened. That happened. I forgot to mention that

175
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: got CNN ships, So.

176
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: Like, is is that thing where you had to consider

177
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: in my like almost coming back to a Daily show

178
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: ask routine, like where it's like even though you're the host,

179
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: but that's more of like people depending on you. That's

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: a stable like thing of like we need to be here,

181
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: these are the hours blah blah blah, versus the I'm

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: on the road, I'm making my own schedule a little bit.

183
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 3: I'm getting in New York.

184
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what the fuck to do, and I

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: got too much time myans like what we like? How

186
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: does that feell in the gaps? And does it hinder

187
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: any of your other you know, aspirations.

188
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 4: No, the issue with CNN was So first off, one miscalculation.

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: If we're gonna keep it a hundred one miss I

190
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: left Daily Show and this is my figuring. All Right,

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: y'all know, sure what y'all want to do for a host, Fine, cool,

192
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 4: take your time at But I'm starting to think about

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 4: my life after this show, right, So that's either going

194
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: to be now or it's going to be whenever a year, year,

195
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 4: two years from now, when the new host fires me,

196
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 4: or there's a merger and the show is canceled. There's

197
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 4: a you have budget cuts and layout. The game could

198
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 4: go a thousand different ways. I hadn't seen it. So

199
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: so if I'm gonna leave and start my own thing,

200
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: I feel like an election year is the best time

201
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: to do that, right, regardless of who the incoming host is.

202
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: If I'm on my own project, let me leave now.

203
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: I got a million ideas of shows that I louted

204
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: I want to do. I took my ass out in

205
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 4: the market. Them crackers was like, what we ain't buying

206
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 4: as fuck as you talking about.

207
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: A new idea.

208
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: We ain't buy a new idea. And I was like,

209
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: I thought that was just for scripted shows. No go

210
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: for political satire too, You go motherfucker. Let me go

211
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: and book these thirty weekends, right, get over the road

212
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 4: and sling the joke.

213
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 2: You gotta, you gotta, you gotta figure out ways that

214
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 2: like three sell them reboots. You know, I feel like

215
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: that's what's getting greenlit right now. You gotta Roy Wood Jr.

216
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: A comedic take on in the heat of the night,

217
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 2: you know, something like that.

218
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: You be sneak thissing. So when I looked at the market,

219
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: they were only making remakes. And so when CNN came

220
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 4: to me, what have I got news for you? I

221
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 4: met with the British producers first, which when you're thinking

222
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 4: about joining a television show, that's not the norm, right,

223
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, like for the producers to go, hey,

224
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 4: CNN is gonna do what the fuck we tell them

225
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: to do? It's our show. And then I find out

226
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: it's a thirty year it's a remake of a British

227
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 4: show that's been on for thirty years, and I go,

228
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: that's why they're making it, because we know what to

229
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: do with this, because there's a case study. And if

230
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: you look at since I left Daily Show, there's only

231
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 4: been two new political satire It's shows like news panel shows,

232
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 4: It's US and After Midnight on CBS, and After Midnight

233
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: is a reboot of at Midnight from when it was

234
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 4: on Comedy Central. So nothing new is getting maid right now.

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 4: And I didn't calculate that that that we would be

236
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: in a creative low tide from the late night TV

237
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: side of the game. I knew we was doing remake

238
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: reboot City for TV and all let's bring back a

239
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: reunion show and all of that shit. Okay, all right, fine,

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: but I didn't calculate that. So the CNN thing, in

241
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 4: a way, it kind of fell in my lap. But

242
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: I also feel like I wouldn't have even been offered

243
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 4: it if I was still over a Daily Show, because

244
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: at that point I got offered. Matter of fact, I

245
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 4: got offered CNN around the same time they were rumoring

246
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: that Joe Biden was about to get pushed out. Yeah,

247
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 4: you couldn't leave Daily Show to start the way the

248
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 4: contracts are staggered, at least the way my contracts were staggered.

249
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: I would have been locked in through the election. And

250
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: there's no where you're gonna let me just leave in

251
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: the middle of it, because you can't break new correspondence

252
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: during an election year. It's it's differ you you integrate

253
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: them into the daily show viewership the year before. It's generally,

254
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 4: you know, that's generally how they kind of do it.

255
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 4: That's that's what they did with me, Rnnie Chang and Desi,

256
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: and that's kind of what they did with the next

257
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 4: wave with Troy and Grace. You bring them in in

258
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: between or mid terms or whatever. So and also out

259
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 4: of respect to whoever's hosting that, I wouldn't have wanted

260
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: to leave the show shorthanded, right right, So you just

261
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 4: kind of sometimes you gotta to do us next. You

262
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: gotta kind of like let go of what you got,

263
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: so you gotta open your.

264
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 2: Sometime working working in like the political comedic spear for

265
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: so long? Is that partially why you know this special?

266
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: You were like I would like to get a little

267
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: bit away from just the politics of it. Or was

268
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: it just like because I feel like this is also

269
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 2: like a I don't want to say a trap, but

270
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: like it's got to be a temptation of like the

271
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: easy political laugh, you know what I mean, the like

272
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: y'all agree with me, So I'm gonna just say what

273
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 2: y'all agree with y'all gonna clap and then we just

274
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: kind of like move on from there, as opposed to

275
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: like finding something that's universally unifying, something that touches people's

276
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: humanity beyond just like what your news feed is, you know.

277
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I feel like that's something that'll be a

278
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: little bit more evergreen down the road, you know when

279
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: you turn around, because like people change special state the

280
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: same I got Kamala Trump jokes. But right once I

281
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: knew I had to see an end job, I was like, Okay,

282
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: well that'll be where I do that stuff because and

283
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: also the poor thing about to see an end job,

284
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: I ain't got to do a lot for that job

285
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: the way I did Daily Show, like like that to

286
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: the previous question. My workload is Fridays, they have writers

287
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: and we'll swap a texta too. During the week. Here's

288
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 4: some stuff and the show for the people who haven't

289
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 4: watched it, it is a summary of the current events

290
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: of the week in the form of a quiz show.

291
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: That's it. Me, Amber Ruffing and Michael Liam Black are

292
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: like the team captains or whatever. And then we bring

293
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: on two guests, one from the left, one from the right,

294
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 4: and if they's somebody that's really sideways, we'll get in

295
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: on them. Amber Ruffing got in on Tim birch At,

296
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: a Republican from Tennessee who then voted wrong on everything

297
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 4: that you think vote yes on oxygen tariffs, like he

298
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 4: will vote on he woned them type Republicans. So, but

299
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: we're not getting to the solution of anything, like we

300
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: don't have that burden Like John Oliver Daily Show or whatever.

301
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: You can just wile out cracking joke can be done.

302
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: How hard is it for you to find Republican guests

303
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: that can do the show?

304
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

305
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: Because I feel like, especially in our political like panel

306
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: new type thing, it's, I guess just kind of the

307
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: same as social media.

308
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: It's really rewards.

309
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: The disparateness, right, like like the more extreme over here,

310
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: the more views, the more clicks, you know, the more

311
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: viral the clip from the show gos or whatever. Seems

312
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: to be kind of the reward metric for the way

313
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: we view things. So it's like, even if something not good,

314
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: we'd be like, but look at it got seven million hits.

315
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: And so with your show, because I've watched it and

316
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: like it needs.

317
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: A little bit of collaboration.

318
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: It's it's a lot of improv, it's a lot of yes,

319
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: and you need to understand comedy to make it work.

320
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: And when I saw it, Bomani was on there, and

321
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: y'all had a dude on there that was he was

322
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: a Republian, but he was actually like willing to willing

323
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: to be the straight man, willing to get dunked on,

324
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: willing to dunk like and same from the other side.

325
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: By the way, people were willing to give him props

326
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: when he did something funny to be like, Okay, that

327
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: was funny, all right? Is that hard to book? Is

328
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: that hard to find now in this in this social climate?

329
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: Right? I'm not I'm not on a producer side of

330
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: the show yet. I know some of the names that

331
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 4: they've had that turned around and canceled at the last minute.

332
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: I know we had a thing last year where the

333
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 4: homie Samantha b when they found out that Tim Burchett

334
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 4: was going to be on her episode, she declined to

335
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: come in because, you know, a lot of the shit

336
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: that he's voted no on it's not funny and people

337
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: are dying as a result of it. So she was like,

338
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 4: this shit ain't jokes. So if I come on now

339
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: i'm trying, I might slap the shit out and let

340
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: me go on. And we respected that, We respected that choice.

341
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: Like we ain't talking about it because everybody's going to

342
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 4: have a different focus on how they think comedy should

343
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 4: be done. Now. I don't think that for me, And

344
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 4: this is a conversation I had with them Brits about

345
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 4: it before I came on board. For me, I do

346
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 4: not think we gain anything by having the same comedic

347
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: approach we've had the last eight years, which is their

348
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 4: stupid and we are right that ain't done nothing. So

349
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: let's see. Let's see what this does in terms of

350
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: faking some sense of dialogue across the aisle. Since y'all

351
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: say that's what we need, well, let's see. And also,

352
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 4: I don't think if you're highly liberal, highly republican, you're

353
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 4: gonna start realizing the audiences are smarter than people are

354
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: gonna start noticing that you're making a good point. You

355
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 4: replacing a punchline with a good point. Yes, that ain't

356
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: gonna kite you four years, no more. You got eight

357
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 4: you got you got, you got eight years out of

358
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: that shit. Stylistically, I think it's gonna turn because you

359
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 4: already see black folks talking about they checked out and

360
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 4: I don't care. So if you don't care to the

361
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 4: point of not wanting to even be engaged in what

362
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 4: Trump is doing, it's very much that y'all gonna wuck

363
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 4: around and find out era for a lot of liberals

364
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: to Republicans, right who you don't care, then that mean

365
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 4: you don't care what's going on over there. You don't

366
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 4: care if the forest is burning, So then I feel

367
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: like you would then be less inclined to laugh at

368
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: humor that focuses on a theme that you claim to

369
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: be no longer politically interested in, right, Right, So if

370
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 4: you put jokes in that bucket, I don't know if

371
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 4: you're gonna I'm not gonna get.

372
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: You right right, the returns you gotta be diminished in

373
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: returns at this point, because one that bucket is full,

374
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 2: like it's it's just been what comedy has been for

375
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: so long. And I think the division that we have

376
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: online you can see it in your algorithm, right, It's

377
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: like the clips that I share was like, look at

378
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: the comedians slams da da da da audience member or whatever.

379
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: And I'm sure the other side is getting a version

380
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: of whatever that looks like too, you know, but at

381
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: some point.

382
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, it's like I feel like like comedy.

383
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 4: I feel like comedy, like political satire. Political humor for

384
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: the last eight years has been look what they are doing.

385
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 4: Look come look at what they're doing to us. Look

386
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 4: what they are doing. And I think, now, if you

387
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: do it right, you get a couple of conservatives on

388
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: your show. You get a couple of conservatives, so you go,

389
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: look what you all are doing. And I think if

390
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: we do our show right on CNN, we'll be able

391
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 4: to have policymakers on and through joke form, roast them

392
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: about the dysfunction of how they are running the country

393
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: instead of calling them out from across say come on

394
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 4: over here, sitch ass. Now we're really nice to you.

395
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna get you some craft services, and then we're

396
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 4: gonna get into these jokes about what is happening and

397
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: then try and create a sense of accountability. Yes, now

398
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: they got to come on the show for that to happen.

399
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 4: And so we've gotten a couple of good bookings so

400
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: far that I think are like the you know, the

401
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 4: testers to show everybody else that you could come on.

402
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 4: I would love to have Ted Cruz on the show,

403
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: would love Elun Musk on the show.

404
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Never agree, right, yeah, I don't think something right yeah,

405
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: because there's also a reward system over there that's kind

406
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: of similar to the like we don't sit with them,

407
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: you know. I think I think that's a thing that

408
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: people didn't see coming really from the like we're not

409
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: sitting with each other thing was like the creation of

410
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: like a space where like, you know, like Joe Rogan

411
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: is the biggest podcaster in the world, but part of

412
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: why he's the biggest podcast because he created a space

413
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: where people are like, cool, I don't want to sit

414
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: over there with them, let me come sit with you. You

415
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: gonna at least hear me out, Like I could say

416
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: some nonsense and you will at least sit across from

417
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 2: me and treat it with like, huh, that's interesting, as

418
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: opposed to like, get the fuck out of your dumb motherfucker,

419
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 2: you know. And I think that that that tone does

420
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: matter when it comes to people sitting down, because you

421
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: can't really have accountability if you're not sharing the space.

422
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: That's true.

423
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: And I was gonna say, you was talking about like

424
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 5: a buckets being full. If you look at me and

425
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 5: Roger subscribe to like this news would call like pod news,

426
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 5: And if you look at their numbers, a lot of

427
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 5: their numbers, say how a lot of their political podcasts,

428
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 5: their numbers are tanking. Yeah, you know, it tells you

429
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 5: they've lost in the last year. You know, since the election,

430
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 5: a million subscribers have been down. So what you're saying

431
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 5: is right, Roy, It's like you have to pay attention

432
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 5: to what's happening. And if people are purposefully seeing in

433
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: all these people, you know, for their political shows.

434
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: It's going down. Yeah, people tapping out.

435
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 5: Right, So if they're tapping out, you have to reach them.

436
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: You can't be like, well then we don't care what.

437
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this though, right selfishly, do you

438
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 2: ever kind of want to have a crash out on

439
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: the show like that that moment that everyone's talking about,

440
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: you know, like like if Bomani would have just said

441
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Roy jumped across the table and start choking

442
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: that man, would you have been like, you know what,

443
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: that's bad. It's a bad look, but it's but that's

444
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: some billion views we're gonna be sharing sharp all right, security.

445
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you still want to show where the

446
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: next guests will come on. So you know, we turned

447
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: down your nigga them a little bit. So I had

448
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 4: to do them the way our Sineo did me on

449
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: Star Search. You ever heard that story? Now what happened?

450
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 4: I was on Star Search? I was so so. I

451
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 4: was on Star Search three and B two K was

452
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: one of the celebrity guest judges. So you know, it's

453
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: like Apollo. You perform, they rank you one star to

454
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: five stars, and you know they go to each judge

455
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 4: three stars, fas stars, three stars, they get to be

456
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: two K, they go one star. I would have hit zero,

457
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 4: but there's no button for it. Oh no, Now for context,

458
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: I'm twenty five. These are two thirteen year olds. My

459
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 4: comedy's not for you. It was never gonna be for you.

460
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 4: It was always going to be one star. But you're

461
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: not processing this on live television. And I'm standing there

462
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: next to our Sinio and they give you the judge,

463
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,800

00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:02,200

517
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 4: Bahari the wonder Wise and it's Andre's character working through

518
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: who you know you should be with versus who your

519
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,720

00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 3: the world. Guys.

525
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 4: Hey, it's me. You know what I'm saying. I don't

526
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 4: need to be Andre Holland's character. I don't need to

527
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 4: transform like that. There's a degree of technical that you

528
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 4: need to have that I don't possess that I ain't

529
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: got that. I feel like the biggest schemings, how can

530
00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: I put it? Like doing stuff that it feels right

531
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 4: for me, that exists within my current performance skill set.

532
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 4: I'm not Jamie Fox and I'm not trying it will

533
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: require a level of transformation that I'm not committed to

534
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: because I still like doing stand up on a regular basis,

535
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: because I like doing podcasts. And if you notice all

536
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 4: of the best comedic actors they stop doing comedy for

537
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 4: a very long time because one, movies are tiring. But

538
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 4: also stand up is a muscle that you have to

539
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: work over and over and over again, and acting is

540
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 4: no different. You know. That's part of why I'm Jamie

541
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 4: even came back. Man.

542
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Is it so with the acting? Is it like.

543
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Taking away from these other things in a way where

544
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: you're like, you're gonna see yourself falling off a stand

545
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: up or you like that will never happen.

546
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: As I'm stand up first and foremost.

547
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: I think I'll be nonscripted first and foremost. I think

548
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: all this shit is eventually coming into just can you

549
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: create like what you all have created for yourselves here?

550
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: This is it. We're eventually becoming the new networks, and

551
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 4: in a way we're all just I think in the

552
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: next ten years we'll figure out in the media landscape

553
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: that all of this content we're making now was just

554
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 4: the minor leagues for linear and then they'll pay you,

555
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: they'll overpay you to not have to compete with you.

556
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 4: I think it's where they'll go so to be an

557
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: actor alone and focus on that. I don't think that

558
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: for me that I have friends that actors and sometimes

559
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: be stressed in the face, and I don't like that.

560
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Do you have to take acting classes and stuff or

561
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: you just like, like, what's it like for you?

562
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 4: I think you should take acting classes. I think it's

563
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: an insult to the craft if you don't try to

564
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: learn some of the nuanced and stuff. And you know,

565
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 4: because a lot of that stuff has helped me, and

566
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: it's and it's things that you don't There are people

567
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 4: using techniques on you, and they make it seem like

568
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: it's not a fucking it just seems effortless. Like you

569
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 4: can tell Martin Lawrence has some dramatic training when you

570
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: look at some of his stand up Martin was a community.

571
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 4: We're just talking comedic at the motion to stillness, Martin is, ah,

572
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 4: like that's his thing. Like it's just I can go fast,

573
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 4: I move frantic, then I stopped, say something, and then

574
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: move frantic again. And when I stopped, I dropped that

575
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: down to and then I come on, no, Gina right right,

576
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: Like that that's technique, man, So I think you you,

577
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: I think you have to learn all of that. I mean,

578
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: I'm fine with with where I am, Like, like in

579
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: the k for For example, so the Keanu Reeves movie

580
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 4: Jonah Hill is Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves. Keanu's a

581
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: white actor who's about to get canceled for something. A

582
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 4: tape is about to come out, but he doesn't know

583
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 4: what's on the tape and doesn't know what he's done.

584
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: And I'm wanted the people on this crisis. Man, Like

585
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, think of me as a bizarro Ben Crump

586
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: is what I play in the movie, like Ben Crump

587
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 4: meets Dion Sanders. I know that makes sense, but that's

588
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: literally who the character is that plays a little bit

589
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: more onto me. Or like when I was the principal

590
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: on Flatbush Misdemeanors, they yell at cuss. You can't do

591
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: one of the two will suffice. You can't yell an

592
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 4: cuss like that's fun, that's silly. That's that's enough for me, man.

593
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 4: I'm thankful for that. You know. I've written a couple

594
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: of films that I would love to do, but they're

595
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 4: more buddy ensemble stuff. I don't want to carry the load.

596
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 4: I'm not any Murphy. I don't want to be. I

597
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: think that for as long as you can perform live,

598
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: you control your destiny, you know, I think regardless of

599
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 4: AI and all of that stuff.

600
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what I take. I think about AI.

601
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just me open up a third al for you,

602
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 5: AI is a grift, and I'm gonna tell you why,

603
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 5: because all AI does right now, like one day it

604
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 5: will be the things that they promise it's gonna be.

605
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 5: But right now, all this doing is taking shit we've

606
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 5: already done and milking it into shit and be like

607
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 5: here you go. You be like, well, this ain't nothing new.

608
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 5: You're copying.

609
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: You're not.

610
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 5: You're not giving no new ideas, no new thoughts, You're

611
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 5: not looking into the future. You don't have no hopes,

612
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 5: no greens, no aspirations, not trying to be fun. That's

613
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 5: no emotions behind it. But you y'all telling me that

614
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: I should trust something. That's all this going. All this

615
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 5: is is going back and just copying shit we've already done.

616
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 5: And so for me, I'm like, it can't do all

617
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 5: this shit that y'all promise is gonna do.

618
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about the artificial intelligence, if you look

619
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 2: at these commercials and stuff and what they're selling us,

620
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: if you just pay attention, they're not selling us artificial

621
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. Yet they're selling us automation. Yes, and they're

622
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: calling it artificial intelligence. But it's like, if you want

623
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: to know the seven restaurants closest to you, I'm like,

624
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: we have that. Like the only thing is in the

625
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: commercial you asked the phone that in a voice answered

626
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 2: you instead of like the you know, typing it into

627
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: Google or whatever. Yes, but as of right now, you

628
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: haven't really created anything new. You've automated something and called

629
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 2: it intelligence. Yeah, that's that's not intelligence necessarily.

630
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: No, And then you pay people cheaper to fix the

631
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 5: ship when the machine fuck up because the machine gonna

632
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 5: fuck up.

633
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 2: They want to do that with writers, like have artificial

634
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: intelligence writers cript and then give go to the writer

635
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: and be like fix this shit for less money than

636
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: we would pay you normally. So yeah, that definitely is.

637
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: It's right now it is a hustle phase. I don't

638
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: know if it'll ever come to fruition in a way

639
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: that they wanted to come to. Fruition will find out,

640
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: but right now it is tell Yeah.

641
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 4: Remember three D televisions that was gonna be the future.

642
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 4: ESPN had niggas in your house wearing glasses football. Yeah,

643
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 4: then it was gonna be Google Glass. Then it was

644
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 4: gonna be remember the Metaverse.

645
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, spent billions of dollars in that flop.

646
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going out there, We're going all were glasses

647
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: in our living room like demolition man. Yeah can buck

648
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: somebody from across the.

649
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 5: Ain't nobody walking outside with five pounds posted across their face? Them?

650
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: Ships is heavy?

651
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 3: The glasses.

652
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, this is too well.

653
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: I think what's also interesting with the Metaverse is like

654
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: they made it sound like this futuristic techy thing, and

655
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: then the first time they showed it, you look like

656
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: a video game character but with no legs, Like it

657
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: was like, y'all, y'all couldn't even get the legs in

658
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 2: this joint. Like that's I don't think I want to

659
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: spend much time here. I think I'm gonna be okay,

660
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg now that it is, But it is kind

661
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: of interesting to see that, like Journey with the artificial intelligence,

662
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: because I think mostly what it's being used is the

663
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: leverage the threat that feeling you talked about where he's like, oh,

664
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: you get out your chair.

665
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 3: I feel like right now it's mostly being used as.

666
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: A threat to people and their work to be like,

667
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: don't y'all ask for too much now, because we'll bring

668
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 2: the artificial intelligence in here on your ass and everybody,

669
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: and so we're constantly in the state of like, oh,

00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: my job, is my job gonna be gone? When they

671
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 2: did it with writers, because I was working a game

672
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 2: there and everybody's.

673
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,480

734
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 4: to also look at Willy D's face, because Willy D

735
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 4: is trying to like understand.

736
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: Willie.

737
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 2: First of all, I can't think of a person I

738
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: less want to explain my possible racial faux pas tu

739
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: than Willie D. Like I don't know if y'all know

740
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: his his his legacy, his raps, his stances on issues.

741
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 3: He ain't exactly the one to be playing these games.

742
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: And I would not say he's always the most sympathetic ear.

743
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: Uh.

744
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: This is the same brother that gave us the song

745
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 2: of Where the Coon's At?

746
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: So he also gave us ball headed hose, which encouraged

747
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 4: black women to go on their natural hair journey.

748
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: Correct, that is correct. It was ahead of the curve that.

749
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: Uh So, I don't think that's what bad hose was.

750
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 3: I don't think it was.

751
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,839
Speaker 2: Uh fact do we need facts in twenty twenty five?

752
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 3: We don't need fact check. But yeah, here here he knows.

753
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 6: I'm from Saint Louis. Everybody knows. Saint Louis is what

754
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 6: made me. That's what I were on my chest in

755
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 6: my art. But I was born on a military base

756
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 6: in Austin. My father served, my grandfather served, my uncle served,

757
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 6: my auntie served, my cousins serve. I've entertained the troops

758

Speaker 6: all around this world. I've entertained the troops.

759
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: Ain't no money in that.

760
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 4: That's that.

761
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 6: That's something that I felt I had to do because

762
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 6: I always want to mm.

763
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 3: Hmmm mm hmm. That is true. He has done that.

764
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 6: Those kids on those military basis. You see what I'm saying.

765
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 6: Uh far being at a young age, but I was there.

766
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 6: I know what that meant to do families that have

767
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 6: been away from for home for three, four or five, six,

768
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 6: seven years sometimes all could be ten year plus.

769
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 4: What does the military have to do with the inaugeration?

770
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 6: That means if these people can give they life for

771
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 6: the office, Nelly can perform for what.

772

Speaker 4: Now.

773
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I do think it was a bad

774
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 2: choice to go a third person on that. You know,

775
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: I think you should just say I instead of Nelly,

776
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 2: just because now it sound like an ego thing.

777
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 3: But I get his answer. It sounds like it's not related.

778
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: But I actually think his answer, Oh you're muted, Roy,

779
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you meant to be muted.

780
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 4: I'm listening, I was yelling.

781
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: I just want to make sure we didn't.

782
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I know it sounds unrelated, but

783
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: I actually do kind of understand this point of the

784
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: military has a duty to the country that they perform

785
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: regardless of who is the president, regardless of who they

786
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 2: voted for, regardless of who wanted who lost.

787
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 3: The problem is, Nigga, this ain't the military.

788
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: This is a You didn't take no oath to become

789
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 4: no rapper, right right? I just choose to rap. I

790
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 4: mean nearly has a lot of Republican fans, and then

791
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 4: the benefit of ticket sales to be there. It's the

792
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: closest thing to the Super Bowl. So I think, though,

793
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 4: as consumers and people, why do we still hold these

794
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 4: high expectations on our entertainers. Why do you, like, why

795
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: do you assume that Snoop was going to be there

796
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: with you in the fight? And the thing and and

797
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 4: the Snoop thing is a little more intense because he

798
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 4: the one that said, tuck Donald Trump, and if you

799
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 4: perform for Trump, your coon, you know, dot a hero

800
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 4: live long enough to be you know, Snoop is in

801
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 4: that realm now. So I understand the hypocrisy of it.

802
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 4: I don't think he can come back around Black media

803
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 4: without eventually having to answer that question. But I don't

804
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 4: think any of them are going to lose money because

805
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 4: of this.

806
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: Well things about it. The first one is this one

807
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 2: I saw Nellie talking to Willie d. My first thought was,

808
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 2: uh oh. Then the second thing is, I think we

809
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,959
Speaker 2: hold our celebrities to the standards that we would hold

810
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: politicians to, and we want our politicians to be celebrities.

811
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: And I think that that has been an inflection point

812
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: after Obama. Dad is probably started with Reagan, to be honest,

813
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: but after Obama, I felt like it's everyone's fully in

814
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: the tank, Like we want politicians that make us feel

815
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 2: like Beyonce, you know what I'm saying, Like it's AOC

816
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 2: Like it's like, well, what's the policies. It's like I

817
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: need we need attractive person that can deliver a dynamic

818
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: message and a great speech and make us feel flowery.

819
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 2: And we you know, we want to play music, We

820
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: want to we want to have a performance. And when

821
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: it comes to our celebrities, if you look at what

822
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: the standards we hope celebrities to now, it's not like

823
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: this is to me is like a low bar. So

824
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 2: I understand why people are mad Like performing for Trump,

825
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:00,959
Speaker 2: I think is one of the low as bars to clear.

826
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: Like a lot of people could be like, well, I

827
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 2: just think that's bad that. But there's also stuff where

828
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: people are mad at stuff like why didn't you put

829
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 2: a watermelon in your avatar for Palestine, Lizzo?

830
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: You didn't say nothing about that.

831
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: That's like holding a celebrity to the status of like

832
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: what you need your like representative in Congress to be

833
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 2: saying that that has flipped, and I'm sure it's weird

834
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: as a celebrity entertainer to be living in a world

835
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 2: like that.

836
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 4: Well, I just wanted to be rich and performed. Yeah,

837
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,439
Speaker 4: but the world wasn't burning the way it is now

838
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 4: right when you started, when you first started your career,

839
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: we're far more politically divisive, and the folks is starting

840
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 4: like it's way worse now than when fucking Pimp Juice

841
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 4: came out.

842
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: That's true, it ain't the same.

843
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 4: Wait, one of y'all gotta read Keith's comment and.

844
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 3: Air Force air Force ones do not make you an

845
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 3: Air Force veteran.

846
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: You know it does not, baby, it does not.

847
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 5: Go ahead, hilarious, And you know what, Roy and Rogeric

848
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 5: For me, I never felt so old until, like I

849
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 5: had the realization that Rogers say, because I'm looking at

850
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 5: AOC like, hey, you're a politician, do politician shit. And

851
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the celebrities going, I don't give fuck

852
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 5: about your political views. You can't vote, you can't put

853
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 5: nobody in office, don't you don't you don't go on

854
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 5: the Senate flow like not tell me funny, you don't

855
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 5: got no real power.

856
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the politicians like do your job.

857
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: Still, I still have a kind of an old school

858
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: view like that, and I don't I don't think I'm alone.

859
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: I just think the places that we share these opinions

860
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 2: are places where you feel alone. So like if I

861
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: were to say this on social media to be like, guys,

862
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: gonna be honest not really mad at Nellie because I

863
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: never really was expecting much from Nelly. It's like, but

864
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: how can we I thought you stood for so you

865
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 2: can't say that. But I feel like the vast majority

866
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: of people believe what I just said. Like if you

867
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: go to a concert, very few people are there to

868
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: be like, well, it's really about his political views, honestly,

869
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: and I was here to support that. It's like, no,

870
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 2: you were here to hear air Force ones, maybe maybe

871
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: a country grammar.

872
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: That's what you came for.

873
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: That was the deal withes And with politicians, and like

874
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not knocking this, I get it. This

875
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: is the new environment. But with politicians. I didn't need

876
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 2: Alc to be good at TikTok. It's cool that she's

877
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: good at Instagram live or whatever, but I didn't need

878
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: it from for me to measure her worth as like

879
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: is she good at her job.

880
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 3: I didn't need that.

881
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 4: But you're a smart voter.

882
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: Most voters are dumb exactly.

883
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 4: So you need like as much as Jasmine Krackett has

884
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: so many great policies that she's pushing. You need the

885
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 4: roast of Marjorie Taylor Green because then it brings the

886
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: fringe political people who kind of just oh wait, who's

887
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 4: this sister. Oh she cuts her white lady out. Now

888
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 4: tell me about your policies. That's how our attention spans. Yeah,

889
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 4: because he can spend time with you as a politician,

890
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 4: cussing and acting the fool and neck rolling. They're doing

891
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 4: anything that was unbecoming. You could get roasted for stepping

892
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 4: outside of yourself. So Trump has made that a norm behaviorally,

893
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: and our social media habits that it demands that type

894
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 4: of engagement. Nelly made one point that I thought was

895
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 4: fairsh and that he said I was performing for the inauguration.

896
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: He's already been elected. This wasn't the RNC yep. So

897
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 4: his argument is that I'm not trying to help Trump

898
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 4: get in office. He won. I didn't say shit the

899
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: whole election. Yep. Let me go get this goddamn.

900
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: Check from Let me get the crystal first of all,

901
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: shout out, fuck up, shout out, got.

902
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 4: A second baby on the way. He ain't no cheap date.

903
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: Shout out the soldier boy, because he the one that

904
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 2: came out and fight out said Trump put a check

905
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 2: in my pocket, and I was like, came argue out,

906
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: like he's.

907
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: A lot of people doing it for free. Get that check.

908
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: Like the issue with Nelly for me was he used

909
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: way too many words with the truths and that he

910
00:46:58,680 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: should have just listened.

911
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: And y'all not a direct deposit hit.

912
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 2: Y'all are not playing country grammar like y'all were twenty

913
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: years ago. And I'm gonna just get this check. It's

914
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: not my fault that y'all voted for Trump. Like even

915
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 2: even when Obama like laughed at Trump's joke, I was like, yeah,

916
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: it's guys. If you didn't want Obama to ever be

917
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 2: in a room with Trump, there was a time for

918
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 2: this in November. Yes, you could have squakeed. None of

919
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 2: these niggas would have had to deal with.

920
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,399
Speaker 3: Him ever again. But because if he would have lost,

921
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: he wouldn't have been showing up to these events. I

922
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 3: guarantee he would have been like, I need to get

923
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 3: out the country. Okay that I don't know what these

924
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 3: trials are looking like.

925
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 2: But as soon as he as soon as he won,

926
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: he was He is a staple of the American culture

927
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 2: as much as any other president that we have right,

928
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: so we have bestowed the office of president on him.

929
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: When that judge in New York was like, I can't

930
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: send you to jail because of American people decided you

931
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: can't go to jail, that's real talk. That was what

932
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: was on the ballot. People just didn't want to believe

933
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: that shit. But you being upset and you typing about

934
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: it don't change what is reality. This motherfucker's feeling to

935
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: be president tomorrow. So I think I think you're right.

936
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: That was the line that stuck out to me about

937
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 2: Nelly too, when he said he's already president.

938
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 3: I went, right, that's that's facts. Now, Just can you.

939
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 4: Tell Chris I was Nelly? Nelly did it wrong? If

940
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 4: I was Nelly and I was trying to explain performing

941
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 4: for President Trump, y'all have cut to me on the

942
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 4: live stream, I'd have been sitting on that couch with

943
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 4: Ashanti Bay Yeah, rubbing the Shanti pregnant billy. But it

944
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 4: was a family man, y'all. I'd have been sitting there like,

945
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 4: who's the pastor that was cheating on his wife.

946
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: All the time, Derek Jackson Jackson, I'd have.

947
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 4: Been sitting there like Derrek Jackson, yeap, and just sitting there.

948
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 4: Today is a day for unity a lot of money.

949
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, today is a day for unity and the black family.

950
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: Willie d like, yeah, he would.

Speaker 4: Have had that exactly rubbing up feet. Yeah, just been

952
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 4: me rubbing and yeah. It seems there's been a lot

953
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 4: of discourse about my genie for performance. Now it's a

954
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 4: family man, I'm all through hands.

955
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 3: Now is a time for love?

956
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, now it's a wild time right now, man, Like.

957
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 4: This is I just think president My thing though, is

958
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 4: that like somebody in the chat was asking.

959
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 3: His christ Michelle?

960
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, has she has her reputation and relationship with the

961
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 4: black community completely recovered? I don't think so. I would

962
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 4: need to look through her runner performances since the first

963
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 4: Trump inauguration, like did you do it Essence Fest? Did

964
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 4: you do one of the side Essence Fest? You know

965
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 4: Essence they got the main stage and something like they

966
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 4: go through the side stage. We got another one in

967
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 4: the locker room got another activation.

968
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: I haven't heard her name.

969
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: I looked it up just now. She is touring in

970
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 2: but I do think it was irreculably heard. But but

971
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,440
Speaker 2: it it's so ironic. I feel the same way about her.

972
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,280
Speaker 2: I feel about the people that ran up on the Capitol.

973
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: If you would have waited four years, they would have

974
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: opened the door for you, because that's what America did essentially.

975
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:21,400
Speaker 2: And now I feel like four years ago or whatever,

976
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 2: eight years ago, when she performed, it was like, no America,

977
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 2: fuck that, no crazy, we need to be But I

978
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 2: feel like now even and people think it's just because

979
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: there dudes, but I say, even if it was a

980
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 2: woman right now, the black woman performing, it would be like, yeah,

981
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 2: well we don't like it, but we're not. You're not

982
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 2: gonna get quote unquote canceled. You're not gonna your career

983
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: is not over. You're gonna Snoop will be fine. Rick

984
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: Ross will be fine, Soldier Boy will be fine, and

985
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 2: so and else.

986
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 4: Rick. Now Ross I can't speak to, but Ross I

987
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 4: can't speak to. But my thing is, you did something

988
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 4: we don't like. I'm never ever talking to you again, right,

989
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 4: I'm never ever dealing with you again. Okay, I guess,

990
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 4: but I just don't think people are disposable like that,

991
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 4: because when you look at Snoop's record for charity, we

992
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 4: ain't talking nothing else. We're just talking about what he

993
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 4: does with regards to charities that football league and Loan

994
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 4: Beach that he pays for with his own money. It's

995
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 4: not fundraised for it. That shit comes out of his

996
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 4: own that same Trump money he made this weekend. It's

997
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 4: gonna end up in some football pads on some little

998
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 4: motherfucker that's gonna get his family out of the hood

999
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 4: in ten years because professional football players have been birthed

1000
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 4: from that league, all right. So you look at Nelly

1001
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 4: and everything that he's done for leukemia, and so it's like,

1002
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 4: these aren't completely horrible people. In my opinion, that's a that's.

1003
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: I would also say, though I would also say, though.

1004
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 4: They just fat people up and throw them away.

1005
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 2: I don't think people will care about that charity shit

1006
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 2: like that, just because I don't think people are necessarily

1007
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 2: real about that. The people who've been help will care,

1008
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 2: but in general, people throw that shit out the window,

1009
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: the sink, and they don't like somebody jay Z's complicated

1010
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 2: like that too, Like the second he do something people

1011
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: don't like is he's a coones sell out his ass

1012
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 2: nigga that level walked the planet. And then it's like,

1013
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 2: well he also bailed out all the Black Lives Matter

1014
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 2: protests without and we only found out because like they

1015
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 2: told us, because they was like, can y'all stop calling

1016
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: him a coon? The niggas got us out of jail, Like,

1017
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: but it goes so I feel like in these flashes

1018
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: of rage, he goes out the window. But I do

1019
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 2: think the difference between them and Chrissette Michelle is like

1020
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 2: they're not just black famous, they're famous famous. H Cossette

1021
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 2: Michelle felt black famous, So black people got mad, which

1022
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: you know specifically you're talking about We just both the

1023
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 2: second single right right right, Like it's hard, like especially

1024
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: black women when ninety percent of your fan bases black

1025
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: women and ninety percent of them voted Democrat.

1026
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt a little different.

1027
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 2: But I feel like a lot of the dudes are

1028
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 2: gonna be able to do it because they're famous, famous,

1029
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 2: and they like Nelly been doing country concerts for ten years,

1030
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: like he do we see who else is performing at

1031
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 2: the inauguration. Is this damn country fast Jason.

1032
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: Al Dean and.

1033
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that, he gonna be fine. Snoop will be

1034
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 2: fine because he's bigger than fucking all this ship. He's

1035
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: He's gonna be at the super Bowl the American Yeah,

1036
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 2: he hosted that.

1037
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 4: I was joking on CNN just yesterday that, like you

1038
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 4: gotta remember Snoop has a contract with Sketches that is

1039
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 4: a sketches ass demographic, right.

1040
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they gonna sketches.

1041
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 4: Yep, go to the Trump and niagareat Snoop should have

1042
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 4: a merch table out the bitch. Right in the live it.

1043
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 2: They're saying that Trump also did this crypto thing, and

1044
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 2: they're like, he made thirty billion dollars overnight, and then

1045
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 2: because of the way that the office is set up,

1046
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 2: you have to divest from that stuff before you can

1047
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 2: take the office. And so they're like, this is the

1048
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: perfect like mean coin, like the like the hot tour

1049
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: girl thing, cause he got to sell it. So it's

1050
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 2: like I had to sell it, y'all. I'm sorry thirty

1051
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 2: billion dollars in cash now. Sorry if to the rest

1052
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: of you niggas holding him coins, it's worthless, but I

1053
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 2: got my money out of it, and it's legal, Like,

1054
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 2: this is not a pump and dump that's illegal.

1055
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 3: This is literally what I had to do for the office.

1056
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: So people are and what I think, and I think

1057
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 2: it's it is interesting, South and Royce said earlier.

1058
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 3: But and I hate the sound I'm not.

1059
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm checked out, but I'm very

1060
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: much on the like we're finding out this we fucked around,

1061
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: And so when people present these things to me, I'm

1062
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: not having these outraged moments of like what you mean

1063
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 2: with loney, your Trump got forty million dollars from Amazon.

1064
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, we knew what kind of shit they was

1065
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: gonna do.

1066
00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 3: They he didn't have to hide it.

1067
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 5: No, it's time right, And it's one of these I'm

1068
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 5: old and black type of shit because I'm to the

1069
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 5: point now when people be doing that ship and they

1070
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 5: be crying online, I'm older, but I don't give fuck.

1071
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 5: I'm looking like y'all didn't do what y'all was supposed

1072
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 5: to do, So why the fuck do I care?

1073
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: Now?

1074
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 2: Well, the last one, like I'll start wrapping up, but

1075
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 2: the last thing is the TikTok band went into a

1076
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: quote unquote, it's not. It didn't really going to affect

1077
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 2: TikTok poured their ship down everybody.

1078
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 3: Like I'm seeing videos and people crying. It's like it's

1079
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 3: affecting folks.

1080
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: Obviously, there's people that have made their livelihoods off of TikTok.

1081
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 5: That was my biggest thing. I was like, Oh, people's baked.

1082
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 5: Their whole income comes from that.

1083
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 2: Because it's funny because people was crying like that's because

1084
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 2: y'all addicted to TikTok. I'm like, some of them are

1085
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 2: crying because the rent is due.

1086
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, rent don't stop.

1087
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 2: Like that's a little bit different. But I feel y'all,

1088
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 2: I understand what are your thoughts on that.

1089
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 4: I hope that all of the TikTokers that are versally

1090
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 4: affected by this financially And I'm not talking about like

1091
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 4: just some fucking around making sketches or whatever. I'm talking

1092
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:07,280
Speaker 4: like legitimate e commerce businesses that pull in six digits

1093
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 4: a year, real business. How did they understand the important

1094
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 4: of diversifying. You know where they're able to do stuff,

1095
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 4: And I know that you may get certain reach in

1096
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 4: one place, but when you put all of your faith

1097
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 4: into one thing, it can be taken from you if

1098
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 4: you have not learned anything from what happened with the

1099
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 4: Vine creators, who luckily kind of got saved by TikTok

1100
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: and Instagram around that same time, Because I believe, I

1101
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 4: think around that time is when Instagram created reels and

1102
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 4: we're trying to like do shorter content or whatever to

1103
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 4: kind of siphon some of the Vine niggas from over there.

1104
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 4: I you know, my heart goes out to them, and

1105
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 4: I know people like we joke, and I made the

1106
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 4: joke about good, now you go get a real job.

1107
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 4: Most of them have real jobs already, right, You understand

1108
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 4: these motherfuckers felt the fucking of almost falling off the chair,

1109
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: and then they created something new online. And as you

1110
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 4: build that, you're still doing what you can over here

1111
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 4: to make money. And it's like if even the gig economy,

1112
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 4: were you supposed to be self made technically get laid

1113
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 4: off in that. That's that's politics. I I think though,

1114
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 4: that going to completely band TikTok. I think Trump is

1115
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 4: gonna bring it back and gets it as it in

1116
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 4: the lipshit when he tries to run for his third term.

1117
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 4: Lock this clip, Save lock this clip and play it back.

1118
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 4: In four years.

1119
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think also going to.

1120
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 4: Let everybody get in despair on your last gasp of

1121
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 4: breath that fucking orange hain done, come down in the

1122
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 4: water and pull your ass up out the safety.

1123
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, because hes going to be the savior.

1124
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 4: Well.

1125
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 2: I think what's also interesting about it is it's already

1126
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: built in that a president could extend it ninety days, right.

1127
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 2: I think he's definitely going to extend in ninety days

1128
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 2: when he takes office. A lot of people will think

1129
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 2: that it's saving TikTok, but that's actually not. It gives

1130
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 2: them ninety days to sell TikTok, so it's not act

1131
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 2: like it's just extending what they've already ruled on. Maybe

1132
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 2: he gets enough goodwill to override it, maybe they pass

1133
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 2: a lot to override it. I don't know how that

1134
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 2: will go for sure, but I do think it is

1135
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: funny if, because as Roy alluded to, I'm a smart voter,

1136
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 2: there's a level of stupidity in our voter base that

1137
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 2: will be like this guy who started this TikTok band,

1138
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 2: he was the first guy on board and brought it

1139
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: to fruition because during his term is when all this

1140
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 2: shit was like, Hey, we need to ban this.

1141
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 3: China is coming. And then the TikTok dude that always

1142
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 3: it met.

1143
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 2: With him and was like, nigga, we can get some

1144
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 2: money together. And he was like, you know what, maybe

1145
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 2: we don't need to ban it. He'll get the credit

1146
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 2: for saving it from some people, the same way he

1147
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 2: got credit for writing his name on those checks.

1148
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: Which he delayed because he wanted to write his name

1149
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: on them checks.

1150
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it worked to some people still quote that

1151
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: shit to this day, but he wrote them checks. And

1152
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 2: I wonder if this will be similar where like he

1153
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: saved TikTok. The bigger philosophical question to me, I've been

1154
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: reading this book called Amusing Ourselves to Death, and the

1155
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: bigger philosophical question than me is like, what does saving

1156
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 2: TikTok really mean about the soul of the country and

1157
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 2: the humanity and what is and what social media has done?

1158
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 2: Because I think that's the part people aren't reckoning with

1159
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 2: the fact that people are so addicted that they are

1160
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 2: looking past the fact that Republicans and Democrats agree.

1161
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,959
Speaker 3: In a time where they don't agree on shit.

1162
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 2: It is scary and I don't understand how people don't

1163
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 2: see that that is scary. TikTok is really more about

1164
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: selling people shit anyway, So it'll be fine. Like it's banned,

1165
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: We're not the only country's banded, and it's banding. We're

1166
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 2: joining a long list of countries that have banded. That

1167
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 2: feel like it's a security threat and a bunch of

1168
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 2: other shit. But I do understand the hypocrisy and conflict

1169
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: that people live in because at the inauguration tomorrow, the

1170
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 2: owner of Twitter and the owner of Facebook, we'll be

1171
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 2: sitting right next to Jeff Bezos, the owner of Internet Connection.

1172
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: You know what Amazon like, it.

1173
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 2: Does feel like, Well, no, if it's the white man

1174
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 2: telling y'all what videos to play and think in the algorithm,

1175
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: that's different. Now that these Chinese people, we don't know them,

1176
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 2: so we that's not okay. So I do understand people's trepidation.

1177
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: But I really do think that the fact that someone's

1178
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 2: vote would hinge on access to a social media platform

1179
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 2: or not, and conflict that with like freedom of speech,

1180
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 2: says something about what we've lost our faith and institutions,

1181
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 2: our faith in the government doing the best thing for people.

1182
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 2: Because this is the one time they agree and that

1183
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm old enough for that to be a big deal

1184
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 2: to me, Like I don't have to understand it for

1185
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 2: me to be like, wait, Nancy Pelosi AOC image.

1186
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: McConnell think this ship bad?

1187
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: What the fuck?

1188
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 2: So I do kind of relate to that. But yo, Roy,

1189
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 2: thanks for coming man. We appreciate you, man the specially.

1190

Speaker 3: But it's just and it's timely.

1196
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 4: Man.

1197
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 2: It really is of a time where we need to

1198
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 2: step back and look at the loneliness epidemic as a

1199
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: certain general literally put it, and and like how we

1200
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 2: come back together as society. So thanks for doing great work, man,

1207
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 3: I didn't know what.

1208
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 4: To be Birmingham Black Barons hate it. I hate that.

1209
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 4: Don't have a baseball or something. So this is black history.

1210
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 4: Not be condoning a nigga rapping in the regular season

Speaker 4: Don't like it? It's a great song, it's fine, it's catchy.

1214
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Whatever.

Speaker 1: He was at the Cowboys game.

Speaker 3: The Cowboys out.

1219
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 4: Lions and then they lost. It's the tweaker curse. Well,

1220
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 4: that's good to put this on to go to dunk

1221
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,080
Speaker 4: and I went and got some coffee. This ball just

1222
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:52,560
