We're doing audio, and 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.480 this is what we really need to do all to 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.640 do to download the episodes and listen to them in 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.440 your cars. So we're not gonna make them long because 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.880 we have been getting your messages that you all don't 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.480 want it long. Y'all wanted short and tight. I wanted type, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.080 but I don't know how short I wanted. Oh we're 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:56.000 talking about this? Okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.760 So where were going? I was gonna ask the same question. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.120 Let's how about we start light and end on a 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.760 serious note. Does that sound good? I like it? I 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.680 like it? Well? Can we start lighting funny or lighting heavy? No? 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:16.000 Lighting funny? Let's talk about your girl with Brooks. Donna Brooks, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.359 the trans woman who has outed been Zeno two weeks 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.960 ago and then went on three or four different news publications, 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.640 including one of her best girlfriends, Angela Stands and King 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.360 and said nothing ever happened, but sex sexually ever happened 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:33.159 between them, nothing ever transpired. She still on that, she said, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.040 and there was because she didn't want anything to happen. 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.400 But then you make a dis track to come out 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.480 and it is me. I don't know, ye confused? Yeah, 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.839 I mean you're you with me both? No. Yeah, that's 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.200 the part that's kind of baffled me because I definitely 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.320 saw an interview of her saying that nothing happened between 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.880 them sexually, but that via text, you know, Benzino was 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.960 trying to, you know, make sexual advances towards her via 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.480 X but nothing happened physically between them. So if you 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.000 won't come out with a distract, I don't know, the 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.680 story keeps changing. Well, here's my thing. And so many 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.280 people are so thirsty for their fifteen minutes. Getting fifteen 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.240 minutes and how you get fifteen minutes are very two, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.320 two very different reasons, two very different things. Because I 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.280 want my fifteen minutes too, I want longer, I want 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.000 two hours, I want a lifetime, but I don't want 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.679 to get it by hurting somebody else's life or career. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.960 It is really messed up. And I'm not even speaking 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.000 on behalf of Benzino because I'm so sick of me 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.600 and saying that women, food and whatever. Trans men who 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.640 are attracted to trans women will not stop being attracted 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.120 to trans women. There is an itch that needs to 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.760 be scratched. That scratch won't stop, That itch won't stop 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.560 until you scratch it. What she has done, in my 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.640 my eyes, is because you did this, men will still 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.239 be attracted to trans women. But on the flip side 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.760 of it, they'll feel like, oh, let me make sure 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.080 that you don't tell nobody else. Now. I don't know 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:04.040 what that completely entails, but in my head it's like, 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:10.680 you're gonna disappear. I'm gonna silence you forever because I 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.120 can't risk I can't run the risk of you ending 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.080 my career, making my children look at me sideways, my 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.360 wife divorcing me. Uh. The cancel culture is out of control. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.800 So if you put out that I'm laid up with 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.120 a trans woman, I could lose my position. It is. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.479 It is such a dangerous and deadly and scary game, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.760 but they keep playing the same game and they keep saying, Oh, 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.440 she fooled me, She fooled me, Lauren, you're a woman, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.800 you twenties, five years old. Six. I guarantee you know 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.360 the difference between the penis and a vagina, So I 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.440 can they can say all that she could be. It's 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.559 pretty she wanted to you open them legs up, because 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.440 most men who gonna have sex with a woman want 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.840 to look at it. Touches smelling. Most men do the 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:56.440 finger and the sniff test. So you ain't gonna sniff that. Look, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.800 I've produces on the land. Errand he's straight. I don't 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:02.120 think do the sniff test. Air. You can wait in uh. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.239 And the women and they keep saying, they keep blaming, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.120 want to blame me and whether me and had a choice. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.400 So did the trans woman. She had a choice. If 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.240 you know that this man is not going to walk 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:16.080 down the street with you and hold your hand, take 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.960 you to the family barbecue, introduce you to his kids 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.280 and his mama, ain't the relation. The relationship is going 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.320 to stay under the road because that's what the society 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:27.960 has put them. It's a rarity that you found a 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.280 man that will boldly be with a trans worman whether 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.040 she's passible or not, and Nane times out of team 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.240 if he would want, he's sucking on Nane other ones 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.520 and that's just the god on this truth. They're called 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:42.480 trendy chasers. Mhm. I mean the whole situation is definitely 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.400 giving side trick syndrome to me, because it's pretty much 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.480 the same situation even if it was you know, a 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.680 heterosexual man and like, you know, a girl that he 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.560 had on the side, same situation. You know, he's keeping 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.600 you in the shadows if he's got you know, a 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.960 main situation happening. So but you know it's not this, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.520 I don't know. I don't know if it's as extreme 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.560 is like you know, fatal attraction kind of thing that 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.280 you're describing flame how you know trans women won't be 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.160 safe anymore in some of these situations. I hope that 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.880 doesn't become the case. But I feel like she's just 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.960 doing a lot and the just the math is not mathing. 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:19.160 So the scary parties because they keep saying trans women 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.320 of color are dying, they're not saying what trans women 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.000 are dying. They keep saying trans women of color, So 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.280 why are they not killing the trans women of color? 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.280 But not killing the white trans women. Guess what, the 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:34.080 white trans women ain't exposing nobody. That is not your 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.400 story to tell. That is not your story to tell. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.599 And as soon as the girl's realize your story is 0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:44.760 your story, Yeah, well I hope she gets it right 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:50.559 because it's conflicting, uh information, So I hope you get 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.120 is that the word we're using is that the way 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:59.680 we're using conflicting? How about beat your lying and I 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.079 used it is walking? It is walking us back was long. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.439 It is walking us backwards because every time we think 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.080 that moving the needle, we're moving it backwards for them. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.600 Just like with the whole trans woman that they put 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.160 in Rikers. They they never showed a picture of the 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.800 trans woman that they put on the female sale of 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.040 Rikers and he raped or she raped a female inmate. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.960 Enough is enough. That is walking us backwards, that is 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.240 making us So when a beautiful, passible trans woman is 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:34.679 arrested who still has her biological penis um, you just 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.960 now instead of putting her with the women, because she 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.840 may not be at all trans women will not have 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.640 sex with a woman. She might be one of those 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:43.679 words that just won't. But if y'all put her with 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:45.199 the me and the men are gonna destroy her, They 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.880 are going to rip her apart. And it's true, but 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.320 y'all did that with all this identity thing again, like 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:54.640 I said, but the identity, it's how you feel. Sexuality 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.200 is what you desire. But gender is a fact. And 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.760 I know I get my ass hands in to me 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.959 about that, but I know that they between a stick 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:06.440 and a stone. Hopefully they do too long. I know 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.720 that sounds brash, but that that that is what the 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:13.720 problem is. We have made it so difficult. It's so great. 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.520 It don't have to be this great. And now there 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.640 are awesome circumstances where things can be different chromosomes and hormones, 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.280 but for the most part, it's not. And y'all making 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.600 it difficult. We are we are going back with girl. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:32.160 Okay us Benzino and he knows so many people. He 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.520 has already threatened this woman's life. He's already put out 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:43.120 a threat on her publicly. Yeah, yeah, it is well well, 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.000 staying in the lane of uh. You know, our trans community. 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:53.160 Let's talk about isaially Isaiali Uh attacked Dave Chappelle on 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.920 stage the other night in the middle of his comedy 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.760 set a transmar I thought that's what you said, or 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.960 he is a part of the no, so I don't 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.240 know if he's probably here. But when day when he wos, 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:11.920 they came back and said it wasn't trans man. So 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:13.680 I don't know if he said as a joke or 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.520 was it true. But according to Isaiah Lee's profile, it 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.680 doesn't give a gender. There's no pronoun, so we don't know. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:28.200 Oh he's non binary. Oh that don't explain that to me. 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.560 Lohen you worked for a major age Nope, we're not 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.400 getting into that. No, because if I stay wrong, I'm 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.319 getting in trouble. So I'm gonna just keep my mouth 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.240 shut on that note. But yes, Dave Chappelle was attacked 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.160 on stage in the middle of his set, and um 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.880 his security They might have been, as you know, quick 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.920 to get to Isaia Lee. But when I tell you 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:50.440 the way that his arm was twisted on that stretcher, Uh, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:52.920 it looked like they took the arm off and put 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.280 it back on back. Was didn't It looked like a 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.480 mannequin's arm, you know, when you don't put it on 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.679 right and it's all twisted and messed up. Yeah, it 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.680 looked very disfigured. So it was wild. It was wild 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.000 and and and I'm hearing some publications on how the 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.760 security wasn't fast enough. And know who would have expected 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:15.280 somebody to run on stage at the Hollywood Bowl, people 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.079 in the Audies, all these major alist celebrities. My question is, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.600 how did he get a weapon through? Because don't they 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.200 have metal detectives and all of that foolishness at the thing. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.679 How did he get that through? But even though getting 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.560 that through, I'm so glad, like you said that the 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.880 security active because he actually tackled Dave, he knocked Day down. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:37.240 Oh yes, it was definitely giving linebacker somebody He's not 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.040 down because it was unexpected. You know, he wasn't a 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.079 tall guy. But we're also what wasn't unexpected was them 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:44.880 hammers that they put on his ass because they say 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.480 Jamie Fox was the first one to grab. I'm like, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:54.080 y'all know Jamie Hood, everybody from Texas hood. But what 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.040 do you think about the whole situation, because like we've 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.719 seen things where people are like, oh, you know, comedians 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.480 have to have this heightened sense of security now and 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.280 you know, safety around these things are going to change. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.160 How does that make you feel, you know, being a 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.720 comedian in the industry. As a comedian in the industry, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.080 it does give me a wall, not a wall of fear, 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.480 but a wall of urgency too. Now and the words 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:16.839 of T. T J And which is one of my 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.040 favorite flame mats, to keep my head on the swivel. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.280 But do you know how hard that's going to be 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.400 when I'm on stage in the dark room, because most 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.000 comedy clubs are dark and step for the license and 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.960 blinding you in your ass and you really can't see 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.559 pass the front two rows. Okay, okay, I can't see 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.720 pass the rovers two rows, and so you won't see 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.080 somebody out of your peripheral or audio blind side run 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.080 up on you. And they can have a weapon, they 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.600 can have anything. And I usually don't go after my audience. 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.080 I'm pretty much talking to you. But if you if 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:48.800 you heck on me, I heck on you back, but 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.640 quick and sharp and over not. My whole set is 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.440 not built on heckling my audience. It is going to 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.360 make the responsibility of the comedians, UH really have to 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.280 step up to read the room, which we should be 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.760 doing anyway, but now we're going to really have to 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.520 see but lord, you don't at the crisis that we 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.600 are in right now, with so many people battling mental 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.600 illness and uh separation, anxiety from the coronavirus and from 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:14.959 from us being stuck in house. People are like a 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:18.040 powder cave, and any little thing you will make them expode. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.000 I could say something about an autistic he now you've 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.960 got an autistic joke, girl, somebody could be an autist 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.960 or snap at me. And I don't know as and 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.720 I and I was explaining to the air and I 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.360 produced it before we came on live. I'm hope nobody 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.880 don't run up at me because I don't know what 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.040 I would do. I don't I know who I am, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.520 but I don't know what I would do and in 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.960 what situation? And would I go too far? Would they 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:40.600 go too far? I don't know. And I don't want 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.120 to be put to the test. I don't want I 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.800 don't want to fail that test because I may fail 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.920 that test. Not to reaction. If you touch me, I'm 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:48.800 gonna fight you back. I don't care who you are, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.640 what color you are, what side you are, what race, 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.520 what sexuality, what gender, non binary, repair, sexual skillless crop 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.440 pots at all of you get buffed to the face 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.800 and do you think that page what do you think 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.280 that this is gonna cause censorship when it comes to comedians, 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.280 because you know, comedy is supposed to be about your 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.800 lived experience, says you know, what's going on in the 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.200 real world. So you know, we just had this whole 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.320 incident with Chris Rock and Will Smith, and Chris Rock 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.600 even made a little joke after they was attacked, you know, 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:24.440 calling said person Will Smith. Um, do you think the 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.160 censorship is gonna, you know, be a bigger part of 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.480 the comedy scene now, yes, because I think they have 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.040 been working on it. Anyway, it depends, and I think 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.800 it's going to depend on whether areno or what club 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.080 that you're working in, because again it goes back to 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.120 the responsibility of the comics. So I could do three 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.680 shows in the night with three different audiences and tell 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.520 horrible Trump jokes. So if it's a black audience they 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.480 don't like Trump, they're gonna buy it. If it's a 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.960 white audience and the Trump supporters, I have to know 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.840 how to reword that joke to where it can still 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.400 be funny and not so offensive. So because like his 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:02.680 people are really eat you know, I ain't know about him, 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.480 so it is the responsibility and I'm side of people 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.760 blaming will Smith. Will Smith did not open this can 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.240 of worms. People have been coming on the stage attacking 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.760 comics long before now. It was just on a major 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.760 platform that we actually saw it. He usually was on 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.200 the comedy clubs and we would see it on the 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.000 internet or something. But we watched this in real time. 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.280 But we also watched George Floyd that in real time 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:26.120 and ain't talking about that now. Mo. Yeah, I think 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.960 it is gonna be interesting, and I hope to your point, well, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.080 I'll just say this to your point, Flame, it's important 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.880 to know your audience, hands down, in any well there 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.400 it's a comedy, whatever genre you may be in, if 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.160 you're doing public speaking, you need to know your audience period. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.880 That's just you know, just basics one on one. But 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.720 I hope that comedians don't feel like they can't you know, 0:16:45.760 --> 0:16:49.280 express themselves and be their authentic selves because of all 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.360 of the craziness that's happening, because you're right, I mean, 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.280 between you know, COVID being cooped up in the house 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.760 and people you know telling us that we can't can't 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.000 do it's so many things, and I think that's what happen. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.080 We were Will, It's just a human being, and he 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.320 had a temporary lapse of judgment. It just and he 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.840 just snapped. You know, everybody has a breaking point, and 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.480 we Will have been here's with his sexuality with the 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.160 wife and doing this and that and the key and 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.000 tell everybody. Everybody has a breaking point. So I'm not 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.320 blaming with all for that. I do want the comedians, 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.960 all my fellow comedians to be a v leery. But 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:25.480 if you're set ain't going well, and this goes to 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.480 the communities. If you'll set ain't going that well, and 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.399 you get heckled and you jone on somebody from the 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.720 stage and you get a big laughter in the artience, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.720 don't stay on that, do that and then go back 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.919 to your set, because you don't know what kind of 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.680 day that person has had. You don't know what kind 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.560 of situation that person is in. And people ready to explode, Lauren, 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:47.800 I don't know. Sometimes sometimes I think it's just for 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.960 fame because so many of them are copycats. There's so 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.440 many copycats out here, you know, I gotta like stick 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.760 on that real quick, because um, even on Monday while 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:58.960 you're at the Hollywood improv, you know, d lay open 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.840 for you. And to your point, there was a lady 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.520 that coughed in the audience and Delay kept calling her 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:07.800 coffee brown and she was really getting pissed. You know. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:09.600 At one point I thought she was about to, you know, 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.520 kind of turn into a heckler at Delay and didn't 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.680 escalate that far because you know, he kind of just 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.280 moved on from it. But to your point, he kind 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.600 of you know, danced on that nerve maybe a little 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.720 bit too long, and she was getting really agitated. So 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.000 case and point, you know, to what you just talked about. 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.840 I just saw a firsthand on Monday night. So that 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.320 is the responsibility of comedians. You have to and learn. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.359 You do public speaking, and like you you made a 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.280 great point. Anyone who does public speak, you really need 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.679 to know the temperament of your room. Yeah, because not 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.800 only would it could get you canceled, it could get 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.320 you hurt, It could get you blacklisted. Uh. Trevor Noah 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:51.600 just did a perfect job hosting the the dinner for 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.320 Joe Biden and Michelle what's her name? Did it last year? 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.840 A couple of years ago, she offended everybody she offended 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:02.440 everyone because she did not know how to the responsibility 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.400 of reading the room. Trevor Noah was fun. He was light, 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.600 he was never heavy, and when he was heavy, he 0:19:07.680 --> 0:19:11.359 was heavy on us, helping other people around the world 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.400 as well as our own country. So it was never 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.560 that it. Sometimes you just can't be mean. I don't 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.400 know why somebody some of these comics are so mean. 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.040 I want to be fun. I want to be personally. 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.720 If I'm gonna be mean, I'm gonna be mean towards me. 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:28.480 I will about me. I talked because if you see 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:31.080 me self deprecated, it's a lot easier for me if 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.280 I have to say anything about you. But if you 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.359 get material. That is why Godfrey always said, you have 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.119 to have hours. You need hours so you so you 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.679 can get an hour. It takes hundreds of hours to 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.159 get one hour. A lot of communities don't have hundreds 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:47.720 of hours. They just have Oh oh I did good 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.840 this night. Okay, that was this night? What about tomorrow? 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:54.080 What about the next show? You only as good as 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:58.840 your last show? Yeah, it is the situation, But I'm 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.480 not I don't like that they blame will for this. 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.439 I'm never gonna blame Will for this. I don't like. 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.800 I don't support the violence that Will did. But Will 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.919 is human and Chris poked the bear. And I'm not 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.000 giving Chris a pass saying Chris was right or wrong either. 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:14.680 It's just it was a sad situation. And they kept 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:17.320 saying black black people set us back, they set us back. No, 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.159 they didn't, because we didn't do that. I wasn't there. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.600 We weren't even invited to their moscars this year, so 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.119 I wasn't there. He sent me back and to a 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:29.040 list black Hollywood actors and comedians handled two different situations, 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.879 the same situation in two different scenarios. Pass off to 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:34.480 Chris Rock to keeping it, you know, for for keeping 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.240 his composure, and hats off to Will Smith because he 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.840 was tired of y'all poking him. I don't even get pope, 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.439 really quick. I do want to give some recognition and 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.600 a little bit of black girl magic real quick and 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:55.320 say congratulations to miss Karen Jean Pierre for officially being 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.800 named White House Press secretary. She's actually the first black 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.520 woman to ever hold this position, and she's openly gay 0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.520 as well, so um, and she's basically going to be 0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.800 the face of the Biden and Harris administration. That's a 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:09.919 triple on time. She's the first one, she's black, and 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.480 she's a lesbian babe back who they covered a lot 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.680 of bases with that with, didn't he m? She's replacing 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.560 jen Psaki. Um. I don't know why Jensaki is leaving, 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.840 but piece and blessings to her. But this is exciting. 0:21:21.960 --> 0:21:23.639
