Speaker 1: is an international superstar, the Grand Me winning rapper and
Speaker 1: singer straight out of Nigeria. Bargah Boys joining up on
Speaker 1: the show Ta Ti Plus with Junior is going to
Speaker 1: bring us the traffic and you will get an exclusive
Speaker 1: first look at the future of The Daily Show. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. So let's do this people. Let's jump straight
Speaker 1: into today's headlines. Okay, let's kick things off with all
Speaker 1: of the continuing saga of Twitter and Elon Musk. Right yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Tesla CEO and man who has definitely made love
Speaker 1: to a robot officially purchased Twitter, setting off a wave
Speaker 1: of take so hot they burned off my eyebrows and
Speaker 1: I had to draw them back on. Everyone was going crazy.
Speaker 1: Twitter Resolver, Twitter is Back. Twitter killed Jeffrey Epstein, but
Speaker 1: one of the biggest takes came from former Twitter CEO
Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey, who gave Musk his stamp of approval, saying
Speaker 1: I rust his mission to extend the lights of consciousness,
Speaker 1: not be honest people. I have no idea what that means. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Jack's clearly on that billionaire speak. Yeah. No, I
Speaker 1: feel like after you reach a certain network, you just
Speaker 1: start talking like a stone Jedi. You know. It's like,
Speaker 1: what do I want for lunch? My hunger cannot be
Speaker 1: satiated for I crave justice, So turkey sandwich. Turkey sandwich.
Speaker 1: But all jokes aside. Jack Dorsey is a great guy
Speaker 1: and I wish him a safe journey back to his
Speaker 1: home planet. Um, but not everyone is a chill Yeah.
Speaker 1: A lot of Twitter uses flat out said that they're
Speaker 1: going to leave the site. That's how much they hate
Speaker 1: the idea of Elon Musk owning it, to which Ellen replied,
Speaker 1: I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter,
Speaker 1: because that is what free speech means. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: really beautiful, and I hope I hope that he means that.
Speaker 1: I really do. I mean, but don't forget this is
Speaker 1: a guy who wants personally canceled a bloggers tesla order
Speaker 1: because of something they wrote about him. So I'm just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he has nice intentions, but when you have
Speaker 1: the power to be petty on an epic scale, the
Speaker 1: temptation to do it can be really hard to resist.
Speaker 1: I don't even blame him. I think it will happen
Speaker 1: to him, like if I bought Google. If I bought Google,
Speaker 1: you best believe I would abuse those auto fills. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially especially around like Emmy voting season. You'd be like
Speaker 1: John Oliver would be like children's wig collector, Stephen Colbett
Speaker 1: hits it run, Trevor Noah saves puppies. How did that
Speaker 1: happen me? No, guy, No, I just yeah, I just
Speaker 1: had to because Stephen Cope hit the owner and then
Speaker 1: I had to. You know. It's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: But of course, the person everyone was waiting to hear
Speaker 1: from was the former king of Twitter, who would still
Speaker 1: be the king if the throne hadn't been stolen from him.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Donald Jet Ski Trump. You see often
Speaker 1: getting kicked off of Twitter. Trump starts at his own
Speaker 1: service called Truth Social. But now that Ellen owns Twitter,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to know if Trump will come back. And
Speaker 1: yesterday the Tangerine Dream responded someone not on Twitter Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: A little over a year ago, the former president was
Speaker 1: banned from the site. But even with new ownership, Trump
Speaker 1: told Fox News he will not rejoin and instead stick
Speaker 1: with his own social media platform. I am not going
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I am going to stay on Truth. I
Speaker 1: hope Ellen buys Twitter because he'll make improvements to it
Speaker 1: and he is a good man. But I am going
Speaker 1: to be staying on Truth. President Trump this weekend Saturday
Speaker 1: night at his rallies touting his social media platform, Truth Social,
Speaker 1: and it's plans to take on big tech censorship. Because
Speaker 1: of this digital tyranny, we had to give the American
Speaker 1: people their voice backed by building something called truth Truth
Speaker 1: Senchal Truth Social. A man did this guy just called
Speaker 1: truth Social Trust Central? What was that? But? Man, you
Speaker 1: had one job. One job, it's your social media platform,
Speaker 1: and you messed up the name. It's almost like every
Speaker 1: time Trump speaks his own mouth, stages in insurrection. That's
Speaker 1: what happens inside there. But yeah, Trump insists that he
Speaker 1: is not going back to Twitter. He's going to stick
Speaker 1: with truth Soco, which so far has been a total bust.
Speaker 1: Apparently the app only has five hundred thousand daily users,
Speaker 1: and to put it in perspective, Twitter, the thing that
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be replacing, has two hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: million daily users. Yea, so truth Social is competition for Twitter,
Speaker 1: the same way that Gown the plane was competition for
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. Also, it doesn't vote well that Trump himself
Speaker 1: has only posted untruth social one time ever. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that was two months ago. Think about how crazy there
Speaker 1: is people. When he was on Twitter, trumpets in like
Speaker 1: what fifty tweets every time you went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: But now he hasn't posted in two months. I'm just saying, man,
Speaker 1: somebod needs to get this guy some prunes, you stack.
Speaker 1: He's in trouble now. Apparently this has been an interesting
Speaker 1: part of the story. Apparently a lot of Republicans are
Speaker 1: secretly thrilled if Trump would never come back to Twitter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they don't like the drama that he would create
Speaker 1: and and it makes sense. Do you remember do you
Speaker 1: remember what it was like when he was on Twitter?
Speaker 1: All right? He would say something, you tweet something random,
Speaker 1: like Congress should make it illegal to speak Spanish, And
Speaker 1: then all day reporters would be tracking down Republican senators
Speaker 1: in the whole way. Remember they chased them like do
Speaker 1: you agree with the president that it should be illegal
Speaker 1: just make Spanish? And then the senators would have to
Speaker 1: come up with new ways to answer without answering, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, because always those weird press conferences, Remember they
Speaker 1: had to evade the questions without angering Trump. It was
Speaker 1: always him in the whole way. He's just being like
Speaker 1: an inundated like the people be like, uh, did I
Speaker 1: say what what the president tweet? And well, I have
Speaker 1: seen Twitter as a company, and I have seen the
Speaker 1: president as well, and I would love to comment on
Speaker 1: this particular tweet, but I'm about to eat this shrimp
Speaker 1: which will give me a severe allergic reaction. Sorry, I
Speaker 1: can't talk. I'm dying. I'm dying throwing closing up. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much, No more comments. I'll be honest, though,
Speaker 1: the only reason I would want Trump back on Twitter,
Speaker 1: The only reason because I know, yes, it would probably
Speaker 1: lead to another term and it would destroy the country.
Speaker 1: But I just I just really want to see his
Speaker 1: word old scores to see him. Can you see him
Speaker 1: every day being like? How could trunk child not be
Speaker 1: a word? I use it all the time? All right,
Speaker 1: moving on, let's talk about youth sports. That's how we
Speaker 1: teach young children to feel inferior from as young and
Speaker 1: age as possible. There are a few components to youth sports,
Speaker 1: all right. You need the coaches, um, you need the equipment.
Speaker 1: You need a McDonald's nearby for afterwards so you can
Speaker 1: immediately undo all of their exercise. And you need the
Speaker 1: jerseys to be sponsored by a local business this like
Speaker 1: Joey's Dildo Emporium. And one other thing you need. Maybe
Speaker 1: the most important parts is a referee, which is starting
Speaker 1: to become a problem. Next the bad behavior leading to
Speaker 1: a shortage of umpires and referee. It's kind of sad here.
Speaker 1: Youth sports leagues are having a hard time finding people
Speaker 1: to officiate games, and they say one reason gets the
Speaker 1: disrespect not from kids but from parents and coaches. There's
Speaker 1: been a dramatic drop in revs across youth sports in
Speaker 1: all age groups nationwide based on early data, In estimated
Speaker 1: three thousand high school referees have quit since One of
Speaker 1: the reasons was abuse, abuse, and mistreatment by parents and players.
Speaker 1: Mistreatment like this, a Massachusetts referee punched on the ice
Speaker 1: by youth hockey coach and this unsuspecting referee plowed down
Speaker 1: on a California soccer field. God damn flag on the plate.
Speaker 1: Flag on the plate. You see how while those parents
Speaker 1: are what are they selling up the concession stand? Myth?
Speaker 1: What are you doing when I see I don't blame
Speaker 1: the referees one bit for wanting no part of this.
Speaker 1: Of course they're gonna quit. It's completely unacceptable for parents
Speaker 1: to do that during their kids game. Think about what
Speaker 1: lesson are you teaching your children? Huh that if a
Speaker 1: reff makes a bad qull it's okay for a parent
Speaker 1: to store the field. No, kids need to learn to
Speaker 1: kick the refs ask themselves. Yeah, you teach themselves reliance.
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, and you know, to me, this feels
Speaker 1: like a wider trend in society. Like I don't know
Speaker 1: if you guys have noticed. The people just feel like
Speaker 1: they're getting angry recently, you know, passengers, fighting flights, attendants,
Speaker 1: road rages at an all time high. Like instead of
Speaker 1: COVID test I feel like the government should be sending
Speaker 1: everyone edibles, you know, Yeah, that way when parents run
Speaker 1: on the field, they'll be like, hey, raff, have you
Speaker 1: noticed that it's called and touchdown? But you don't have
Speaker 1: to like touch it down, man, dude, It's like what
Speaker 1: brow All right, let's move on to a story about
Speaker 1: the housing markets. Ever since the pandemic started, housing prices
Speaker 1: have been going through the roof, and even with the
Speaker 1: hole in the roof, people are still like, it's fine,
Speaker 1: we'll take it. We'll take it. But if you really
Speaker 1: want to know how high the demandful houses is right now,
Speaker 1: look no further than this listing house in Fairfax, Virginia
Speaker 1: just sold for more than eight hundred thousand dollars. And
Speaker 1: that comes with a stranger living in the basement. The
Speaker 1: listening agent told The New York Posts. Somebody who had
Speaker 1: offered to clean the home years ago now lives in
Speaker 1: the basement without paying rent, and the seller is an
Speaker 1: elderly man in the hospital as family can't afford to
Speaker 1: go through the eviction process. The agent says they received
Speaker 1: five cash offers in less than one week. What they say,
Speaker 1: stranger in the basement. So people are so desperate to
Speaker 1: get a house they're even willing to be in the
Speaker 1: reboots of parasite. This is what we're doing now. It's
Speaker 1: not for real, not for real. I mean, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: pretty certain. I'm pretty certain there's the US time that
Speaker 1: Zillo has as estimate for how long until the squatter
Speaker 1: murders you. I will say this though, props to the squatter.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, because this is someone who knows commitments. They
Speaker 1: refused to leave to the point that the real estate
Speaker 1: agent had to include them in the tour. You understand
Speaker 1: how wild that is. You've got a realtor just walking
Speaker 1: through the house, like, as you can see, we've got
Speaker 1: three beds, two baths, yeah, one creep and a washer dryer.
Speaker 1: Very nice. I'm sorry, could you go back the two beds?
Speaker 1: I know, right? Yeah, Although knowing real estate agents, I
Speaker 1: bet when they listed the house they didn't say the
Speaker 1: house had a squatter. They probably made it sound like
Speaker 1: a like a feature just being like head in the basement. Um,
Speaker 1: you'll find an unsolicited in home companion very in right now,
Speaker 1: everyone wants one everyone. But yeah, that's how crazy this
Speaker 1: housing market is right now. And think about it. That's
Speaker 1: what's happening in Virginia, by the way, Virginia. Yeah, New
Speaker 1: York is on another level. You want to see real
Speaker 1: crazy come to New York. Yeah here, you paid five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month and you still have to share
Speaker 1: foot on with the clown from it. Hey, do you
Speaker 1: think maybe you could close your eyes? You know, just
Speaker 1: just it's a little bit creep, you know what. Never mind,
Speaker 1: that's fine. They said you should wash your makeup before
Speaker 1: you sleep. You know, it's anyway, good night. And finally, finally,
Speaker 1: that movie is going straight to DVD. Very popular, very popular. Finally,
Speaker 1: if you've ever tried to get work done in the
Speaker 1: coffee shop, you know that it's not easy to stay focused.
Speaker 1: You know, there's always people coming in and out. You've
Speaker 1: got to ignore the distracting conversations people having, and you've
Speaker 1: got to pretend that you didn't burn the ship out
Speaker 1: of your mouth like a loser who's never drank coffee before.
Speaker 1: But now in Japan, there's a new kind of cafe
Speaker 1: that will help you stay on track. For writers under deadline,
Speaker 1: go to Tokyo's manuscript writing cafe with an understanding they
Speaker 1: can't leave until their work is done okay, and there
Speaker 1: is some prodding thrown in to make sure that they
Speaker 1: buckle down and finished. Customers while they walk in write
Speaker 1: down their names, writing goals, and the amount of time
Speaker 1: they need to finish, and the cafe staff holds them
Speaker 1: accountable with three levels of progress checks, mild, normal and hard.
Speaker 1: Customers who choose mild only get a verbal confirmation when
Speaker 1: they pay, those who choose normal get a progress check
Speaker 1: every hour. And for those who decide to go hard
Speaker 1: on themselves, they will feel silent pressure from staff who
Speaker 1: will stand frequently behind them. Say, silence pressure. What is that?
Speaker 1: It has to be the most Japanese thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: Coffee shops where they shame you into being efficient. Coffee shops.
Speaker 1: I don't know about being efficient, all right. They're about
Speaker 1: spending an hour trying to figure out the difference between
Speaker 1: a scone and a biscuit. That's what it is, the
Speaker 1: differences you can charge twice for a skull. But this
Speaker 1: attitude is why people in japanel so stressed out man
Speaker 1: constant pressure to be perfect. They don't need efficiency coffee
Speaker 1: shops in Japan. They need black barbershops, that's what they need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people in japanel stress. If that black barbershops, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: have that in your space where you can chill spend
Speaker 1: time arguing about topics that don't matter. You know, guy's
Speaker 1: cutting your hair, Like, are you kidding me? Che o? Man,
Speaker 1: if Martha was around there, God Dinna wouldn't be shipped.
Speaker 1: God Dina wouldn't be ship. Don't play around with marthra baby,
Speaker 1: oh ship, I got your line all wround there, my
Speaker 1: bad man, you'd be you bad? Just wear a hat
Speaker 1: like I'm not sure the Japanese approach of judging someone
Speaker 1: silently will work, especially not in America. You know, you
Speaker 1: know here they should make it that if you don't
Speaker 1: finish your screenplay, one of those hockey parents shows up
Speaker 1: and beats the ship out of you. Here's no an
Speaker 1: issue with the story though this This Japanese coffee shop
Speaker 1: say they will help anyone become more efficient, but they
Speaker 1: don't want to know what you're working on. I feel
Speaker 1: like that could backfire badly, you know, just like have
Speaker 1: you finished your work? It's like, yes, my manifesto has
Speaker 1: been completed in record time. Like what now, Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it all right, that's it for the headlines, But
Speaker 1: before we go, let's check in on traffic with our
Speaker 1: very own rowing June. Everybody's saying, ay, that's happening, that
Speaker 1: it's good, just to see if that's right. You know,
Speaker 1: progress is a process. But I'm out here like a
Speaker 1: pigeon at the bakery trying to get my bread up. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Wow. I don't know what that means. But
Speaker 1: thank you Roy, now real quick before falling at like
Speaker 1: the thing with with the coaching and the parents and
Speaker 1: attacking the referees and all of that. The issue is
Speaker 1: that if you want your kids like the problem is
Speaker 1: the parents being there at the game. You want your
Speaker 1: kid to be good. That's why you get behave in
Speaker 1: that way. But we all know that the secret to
Speaker 1: your child being good at sports is to not be
Speaker 1: in their life. Just don't be present, don't. That's don't don't.
Speaker 1: That is that is called the preparation. It's called preparation
Speaker 1: to make your child better. Trevor. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into the statistic, but the fewer parents you have
Speaker 1: in your life, the better you are at that sport.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that, bro I was great at baseball. I
Speaker 1: was great at baseball second grade. My mama came home
Speaker 1: and she told me that her and my daddy was
Speaker 1: getting back together. And I was like, what is it then,
Speaker 1: because yeah, I'm not gonna be good at baseball. If
Speaker 1: y'all gonna both be in my life, let's you you
Speaker 1: have to remove one of the neglect is the real
Speaker 1: M v P doll them telling you trust me like
Speaker 1: my child, my child, I love my child. We both
Speaker 1: finished life. He ain't gonna be good at baseball, he
Speaker 1: played chanting in the peato you speak another language. He
Speaker 1: is doomed. You can't get a jump shot doing all that.
Speaker 1: You can't do that man. And then also with the
Speaker 1: song with the old Japanese thing, with the with the cafe,
Speaker 1: the coffee shop, you can't like. If you want people
Speaker 1: to be efficient, you can't make them comfortable. That's part
Speaker 1: of the problem. You ever been in the cafe, it's free,
Speaker 1: wifi's music, jazz music playing. They got the nice seats
Speaker 1: with the cushions. You don't want to get nothing done.
Speaker 1: You have you ever eate dining in at a fast
Speaker 1: food spot? What do you mean like like Pope Eyes
Speaker 1: or somewhere like Do you ever just sat down into
Speaker 1: the dining in at the fast Fools? You ever seen
Speaker 1: somebody getting work done at a fast food spot? Wait? Wait,
Speaker 1: you can sit down at the Popeyes. I wouldn't recommend it,
Speaker 1: you can't. You should probably get it to go. But
Speaker 1: like most of these places, a fast food spot is
Speaker 1: built to keep you from procrast dating. The chairs bolted
Speaker 1: to the floor, ain't no cushion, you can't even recline
Speaker 1: in the thing. So you're ready to get up out
Speaker 1: the door the fuewer seat like you can get you
Speaker 1: can get coffee at the gas station, right, Is there
Speaker 1: a chair at the gas station? No, no, that's not
Speaker 1: because they want you to get your gass back out
Speaker 1: there and get to work. But if you have a chair,
Speaker 1: you broke ras. But why do you think that that?
Speaker 1: Why do you think they got that squatter in Virginia
Speaker 1: because they got chairs in that house? If he had
Speaker 1: no chairs at that house, I don't think about a squatter.
Speaker 1: Ain't number the professional procrastinator and you got a chair.
Speaker 1: Why do you think that happened? Man? So they didn't
Speaker 1: have a chance in the house you don't think that
Speaker 1: person moved be there, absolutely not. Expert man, Let's get
Speaker 1: to these roads. Let me ask you a question about this.
Speaker 1: Why do I always have to do the traffic? Why?
Speaker 1: Because it's always bad. It's always this ship and then
Speaker 1: people associate that. But then you put my name to it,
Speaker 1: Roy but the traffic, Roy but the traffic, then they
Speaker 1: associate me with that when what it should be is
Speaker 1: Roy with the traffic brought to you by Trevor Noah
Speaker 1: you no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's
Speaker 1: not but it's not a bad thing. It's not a
Speaker 1: bad thing. Like, no one's hating you because of the traffic.
Speaker 1: You don't see the tweets that I get on the
Speaker 1: regular basis about this traffic. I don't appreciate that. Also,
Speaker 1: speaking of which, why don't I have a chair? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why did? Well? Because I want to inspire you to
Speaker 1: keep things moving. Oh well, let me help you out there.
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, Well, thank you so much. With Junior.

Speaker 1: You're going to get m the man, the myth, the legend.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. How are you doing? My
Speaker 1: friend has been a long time man. Yeah, you've been conquering.
Speaker 1: The last time we spoke, we were just talking about
Speaker 1: how amazing your album was going African Giant. It was
Speaker 1: killing it. People were loving it was blowing up all
Speaker 1: over the globe. I was talking about the Grammys, your
Speaker 1: future aspirations. Then the pandemic hits. You produced an album
Speaker 1: in that pandemic and you went on to win your
Speaker 1: first Grammy. Congratulations, brother, congratulations. Let's up. So let's let's
Speaker 1: start with that. I was shocked to find out that
Speaker 1: you produced the album like on zoom. I mean, you've
Speaker 1: got some of the biggest features on the you know,
Speaker 1: got everybody from Chris Martin and you do this on
Speaker 1: zoom technology. But how do you know it's going well
Speaker 1: on Zoom, Like, I don't even know something. You don't okay,
Speaker 1: you hope for the best. Was there ever a moment
Speaker 1: where you were recording something on Zoom it sounded great,
Speaker 1: then you got it. Then you're like, no, it doesn't
Speaker 1: sound It's not like you record the song on Zoom's
Speaker 1: not like Zoom has a recording studio. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know how zoom works. So basically, you just
Speaker 1: have the laptop on in the studio with all the
Speaker 1: parties involved, and while while we're making the music and stuff,
Speaker 1: and then you know, everyone's like, okay, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the song we have to choose. We're going to choose this,
Speaker 1: you know, and then yeah, it just worked out. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about the artists though. You know,
Speaker 1: one thing I've truly loved is how like Nigerian artists
Speaker 1: have taken Africa to the world. Men, You've blown up
Speaker 1: the content. Everyone is now trying to emulate what Nigerian
Speaker 1: artists are creating. But but surely are the answers that
Speaker 1: you dreamed of working off, that you were shocked to
Speaker 1: be working with when you were working with them. Everyone
Speaker 1: everyone on my last album and the previous like working
Speaker 1: with Angeli ki Jo on the previous one and working
Speaker 1: with you soon though, Like these are people that I
Speaker 1: worked on TV when I was in pampas, you you know,
Speaker 1: Like so it's like seeing them in real life and
Speaker 1: actually making music with them and you know, getting the
Speaker 1: love and right and all that. It's it's sometimes it
Speaker 1: gets kind of weird because I'm like, ah, it's like,
Speaker 1: my mom loves you. Your mom A lot of people
Speaker 1: may don't know this, but your mom is your manager. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Mama Berner crushes it by the way. I love her.
Speaker 1: I love her. But but here's but here's what I've
Speaker 1: always wondered, And it seems differently. You know, in America,
Speaker 1: there's a culture of they call him the managers, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's like this idea is like if your parents
Speaker 1: is your manager, things always go wrong on your side.
Speaker 1: It feels like it's going the exact American manager. But
Speaker 1: sure it was. It was there not a part of
Speaker 1: you that was worried about having your mom be your manager.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like it's it's obviously it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not all peaches and roses, you get me. But
Speaker 1: it's a lot of food, So I mean that makes
Speaker 1: me happy enough. You're the artist, your mom is the manager.
Speaker 1: Technically that's a power balance that has shifted over. But
Speaker 1: now she's your mom and she's an African mom, which
Speaker 1: means the power balance never shifts over so exactly. So
Speaker 1: are there moments where your mom goes like, no, this
Speaker 1: is this is how we're doing and that's how we
Speaker 1: do it well? I mean you know what she does
Speaker 1: now like she used to do that and then she
Speaker 1: that wouldn't work out for her because you know it's
Speaker 1: like me like I just get storach, I'm not exactly,
Speaker 1: so she figured out an other way. She would make
Speaker 1: me feel like it's my decisions. Mama Bernard. You got
Speaker 1: your family with you. You you tour with them, You're
Speaker 1: traveling around the world. Yo. Can I just say congratulations
Speaker 1: as well and everything? I mean, selling out the Old
Speaker 1: two Arena in London, selling out, um you know the
Speaker 1: Forum in Hollywood now, the first Nigerian artist to ever
Speaker 1: sell out Madison Square Guarden and to play it as well.
Speaker 1: But you know one thing, do you know one thing
Speaker 1: I always wondered like, yeah, why why how come what
Speaker 1: it's me? They always point out that the fact that
Speaker 1: I'm the first to do it, like the first they
Speaker 1: landed on the Moon's Like why why when rock bands
Speaker 1: performed in in Tokyo and stuff, they don't say the
Speaker 1: first American rock band to perform in Tokyo. I think
Speaker 1: because they're surprised. This is an element of surprise, you know.
Speaker 1: But why because we've come a long way? Do you
Speaker 1: know how far Medicine's Square Garden is from Africa? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But like do you know how fire Way Tokyo is
Speaker 1: for the for kids that money? But you see, that's
Speaker 1: the thing, if you think about it. Culture has for
Speaker 1: such a long time been defined by America, and so
Speaker 1: it makes sense in a way for people to go.
Speaker 1: Of course, the music is gonna go there, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? But now think about things like two women.
Speaker 1: But think about it right for for for the world
Speaker 1: to change the way it has. I mean you you
Speaker 1: you see Beyonce incorporating your music into her vibe. Do
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying? These are big things that
Speaker 1: have never happened. It's beautiful, like everyone everyone was here.
Speaker 1: I would incorporate my music into you know every time
Speaker 1: when I live speaking to you every time I see,
Speaker 1: the biggest difference between Nigerians and almost every other African
Speaker 1: is that, like every other African has like a very um,
Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for, very timid approach to life,
Speaker 1: like literally with like if you say to like a
Speaker 1: South African, hey, Trevor, you're doing well, how are things going? Then,
Speaker 1: as a South African, my instinct to respond, it's like
Speaker 1: I'm trying, man, I'm you know, I'm doing okay, I'm trying,
Speaker 1: you know, like you see you see. This is what
Speaker 1: I mean by Nigerians. That's what I mean. No, no,
Speaker 1: but that's what I mean. So and everywhere you go
Speaker 1: to Kenya everything, how how the thing we don't lie
Speaker 1: unless we want to stop you. This is Nigerians Nigerian.
Speaker 1: I've never met a Nigerian who's going to be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not killing it. If they're killing it, they won't
Speaker 1: be like yeah, So you think it's you think it's that.
Speaker 1: It's just like sometime to lie about like if you're
Speaker 1: in court and you're about to go to jail, you
Speaker 1: should lie, you get me. But if you're killing it,
Speaker 1: if you're killing it, like you should be happy. Um,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the new album. I've noticed you've teased
Speaker 1: a few snippets from it. But you're doing that thing
Speaker 1: always talk about that. Let's talk about this. Why have
Speaker 1: you time? This a good time? I come here? You
Speaker 1: never for me? No drink? This for me chocolates and
Speaker 1: see and like like, I'm bugs bonny or attended. But
Speaker 1: what I need to drink? What are you going to
Speaker 1: offer you? Things that people that look like me would
Speaker 1: maybe think? Maybe think this glasses up to you on
Speaker 1: that side. So you see, I mean, I'm I'm actually
Speaker 1: repressing that I need to drink. You know what I love.
Speaker 1: I can always get you a drink. The only thing
Speaker 1: I have to remember is to switch out the things
Speaker 1: that happened, because I'll get you the drink and then
Speaker 1: I'll leave the drinks there and then you find like,
Speaker 1: let's say like Kamala Harris comes to the show the
Speaker 1: next day and the backstage she's like, wow, I was
Speaker 1: getting turned Um, what what is your drink of choice?
Speaker 1: What would you like next? I'll make sure I get
Speaker 1: a you next time. What do you want? Man? I
Speaker 1: don't want to promote no one right now? Okay, you'll
Speaker 1: tell me, but you want so Water's not for burner,
Speaker 1: you know what. That's definitely for me. But it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm when I'm dressed like this, make
Speaker 1: sure make sure we get burner. What else would you like?
Speaker 1: What else would you like? Backstage? Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: really got some weeds. I'm good. I said what I
Speaker 1: love about? Great with you? All right? Now can we
Speaker 1: talk about the album? Yeah? Now that you've called me
Speaker 1: out for stiff drinks, I like, how angry about the
Speaker 1: chocolates are you offer me? Cho Um? What what did
Speaker 1: they bread to? Oh? Um? You've teased the album, but
Speaker 1: you've done that thing artists do where we don't know
Speaker 1: when it's coming, We don't know who's gonna be. Like
Speaker 1: I saw a snippet of you in the studio. I
Speaker 1: saw I saw Ed Sheering and people lost their mindstarts
Speaker 1: like Ed Sheering looks like he's going to be on
Speaker 1: the album. But you won't tell when is the album
Speaker 1: coming out? Bernad Uh Okay Okay, So now the Nigerian

Speaker 1: the thing. I didn't say anything. Okay, silence all right
