1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Okay. So, Mike Epps has expressed his frustration with constantly apologizing.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: In a recent interview with Dion Cole on his podcast

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Funny Knowing You, Mike Apps shared a story about helping

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: a homeless man and his family. Now I have to

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: take them to a hotel with five hundred dollars nightly rate.

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: Mike Epps told the family that the father needed to

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: do better. Mike Abbs, it was a joke. Mike Ebbs

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: has posted on his Instagram page stating that he is

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: tired of apologizing for his jokes, and Dion Cole has

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: come to his defense and has backed them up. So

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: here's a question for you guys. You're all three comedians, Steve,

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: Tommy and Jr. Do you guys feel like comedians can't

13
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: tell jokes anymore out of fear of being canceled. Here's

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: this question, once again for comedians.

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: It's a line you walking. Mike just told a good

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: joke and he made it sound so real. He really

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: made it sound so real. You bought into it.

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: It was good funny yeah and funny? Yeah? Right, do

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: nothing so to get approved? Yeah, Junior, your take.

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 3: It's like the audience.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: You know, you got to consider the audience and some

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: people's just sensitive.

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 3: Man.

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: It's just you can't say like nothing no more.

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: H So you gotta make all your jokes pretty much

26
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: about you.

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: I ain't mad about me.

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: You can't cancel me open yeah for me, No, Steve.

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: The problem we have is is everybody has a platform,

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: and I don't care what you say on your platform.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: You can get a lot of people to agree. I

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: don't care what you say. So once the train starts

33
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: down the hill that he did wrong. He shouldn't have

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: said nothing. Yep, he shouldn't have said now uh huh

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: he show shouldn't have said nothing, And it gets bigger

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: than it really is. I saw what he said. He

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: turned it into a joke. He apologized once. That should

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: be it. Mike, gotta let this go because you're not

39
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: going to heal the masses. They are permanently sick, and

40
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: they are sick with commenting and thinking that they relevant.

41
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: But for a joke. Should he even have apologized for

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: a joke?

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: Though?

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: I mean, well, yeah, well that one right there, because

45
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: people thought he really did take the family to the

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: hotel and then told him, hey, you got to do better.

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: I can't pay for this. I understand him coming out

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: straightening that party, but after that, that's it. But here's

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: the problem, though, they don't let it go because these

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: self righteous people who live in this world, who step

51
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: over homeless people all the time, don't put a water

52
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: in they cup. I ain't never rolled the window down

53
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: with that. I'm hungry with the kids on the corner. Nothing.

54
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: But soon as you say something, here they come. And

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: if everybody that commented was helping people out there, we

56
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't have no people out there. Huh.

57
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: And Mike doing good stuff, man, Mike renovating and built

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: houses in.

00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: make them happy. Man. The public is a disenfranchised body

62
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: of people who are constantly complaining about anything and everything.

63
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: And but you know, Mamber, like I said, I don't

Speaker 3: agree with Fox. Look at how many people agree with

Speaker 3: Donald Trump. He can make the most evil, sickening, non caring,

71
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 3: non empathetic remark as a president, and we support him.

72
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: They're supporting him, but releasing the joke.

73
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there used to be a time because of

74
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: all of what you just listed, Steve, people would want

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: to laugh. They would want to go see a comedian

76
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: and just laugh about it. But now you can't even

77
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: do that, it seems, all right, So yeah, coming up
