00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Welcome to Naked Sports, the podcast where we live at

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: the intersection of sports, politics, and culture. Our purpose reveal

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: the common threads that bind them all.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: So what's happening in women's basketball right now is what

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: we've been trying to.

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: Get to for almost thirty years.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: From the stadiums where athletes break barriers and set records,

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Kamen Quark broke the all time single game assists record.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: This is crazy for rookies to be doing.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: To the polls where history is written, and now we

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: have Kamala Harrison. It feels more like women are sort

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: of taking what they've always deserved, as opposed to waiting

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: on somebody to give them what they've deserved.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Our discussions will uncover the vital connections between these realms

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: and the community we create. In each episode, we'll sit

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: down with athletes, political analysts, and culture critics, because at

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: the core of it all, how we see one issue

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: shines the light on all others. Welcome to Naked Sports.

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm your Home Carry Champion.

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: My name is Roy viod Jr. I am a father

21
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: and a comedian and a television host and soon's the author.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: I guess I'm an actor now too. Love Brooklyn. I've

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: been an actor, but now I'm an actor. Yeah, that's it.

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: That's what's the different between an actor and mactur indoors.

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: When you're in the scene trauma. I was looking around

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: with John Hanton and that was a good time. But

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: now I'm with Andre Holland in.

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Nicole Bahari, Hi, family, how are you? Thanks for listening

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: to the podcast this week. Roy Wood Junior the comedian.

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: You may remember him from The Daily Show. He just

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: had an amazing special that was released on Hulu called

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: Lonely Flowers, which we'll talk about. If you have not

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: watched it, please do. Everybody needs something to watch. Lonely

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Flowers is really great. It's up on Hulu. Funny, make

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: you laugh, make you think, all the things that we

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: need in today's society. But before we get into how

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: I convinced him to be on the podcast, I just

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: want to check in. How are we feeling, How is

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: our mind? How is our spirit? Are we doing okay? Here?

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: It is February. I am recording this around twelve thirty

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: in the morning. It is February seventh. Tomorrow I am

42
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: heading to New Orleans, so by the time you hear this,

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I have already been in New Orleans at the super

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: Bowl or Nolins as you call it, at the super Bowl,

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: and I finished off my packing. I'm a horrible packer. Yeah,

46
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't need to know that, but I am a

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: horrible packer. I always get to wear and forget everything

48
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: and then need to go to the store and get

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: essentials that I should have packed. That's just me. I

50
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: don't care. That's what I do. But I finished my

51
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: packing and I just got off of work not too

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: long ago, and I did CNN in the morning where

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: we talked about a preview for the Super Bowl over

54
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: under of whether or not Taylor Swift would ever interact

55
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump because he is the first sitting president

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to attend a Super Bowl. Taylor Swift will be there

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: because you know, her boyfriend plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: His name is Travis Kelsey. I'm sure you know that

59
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: as well. He's now just Taylor Swift's boyfriend. He ain't

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: got a name. That's awful, Oh that's awful. But Travis Kelsey,

61
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: one of the great tight ends of our time, will

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: be playing. And he was asked, Hey, what do you

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: think about the president coming? And he was like, well,

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: I think it'll be cool that any president is coming.

65
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: It's just very uncomfortable. The conversation was just so irregular

66
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: and awkward. His exact words, I'm just happy if any

67
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: president comes.

68
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great honor, I think, you know, no

69
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: matter who the president is. I know, I'm excited because

70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: it's the biggest game of my life, you know, and

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: they're having a president there. You know, it's the best

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: country in the world.

73
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, when Jalen Hursts was asked, he said, cool, ma'am,

74
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: something to that effect, can you play that for me?

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Jail question.

76
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: Number institute.

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: So two different responses, but both have the same theme,

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: which is, I don't say none about that. Man. I

79
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: don't want to get into it. We have had a

80
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: crazy January. It's been an insane three weeks. We do

81
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: not want to be bothered. We're just going to keep

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: it neutral. So with that being said, I'm really interested

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: in what his presence means at this Super Bowl. Not

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: only is it historic in the sense that he is

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: the first sitting president, but sports is normally one of

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: these environments where you are able to put away your

87
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: political beliefs and ideologies and just have a good time.

88
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: Remember y'all used to always be like, just stick to

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: sports whenever we tried to go political. Remember those times.

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: And as I've pointed out, and that's what we do

91
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: on this podcast every week. Sports policy, politics, culture always intersect.

92
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: And Super Bowl weekend we're gonna see all that. We're

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: gonna see Donald Trump, maybe interact with Taylor Swift, Doctor

94
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: Joe Biden will be there, the former First Lady, Kendrick

95
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: Lamar is performing culture. I'm talking culture, and Kendrick Lamar's

96
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: performance to me will be about storytelling, as he's mentioned

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to all of us. But here we are in New

98
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Orleans and one of the greatest to ever do it,

99
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about Tunci, Tounci touchee. I don't know

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: how to do it, Touci Lil Wayne, who is a friend.

101
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: I think he's great. Lil Wayne is not performing in

102
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: his home city during the Super Bowl, at least not

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: to our knowledge. Could you imagine if Kendrick brought him

104
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: up over under on Kendrick Lamar bringing up Lil Wayne, Well,

105
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: I have a hard time believing that Little Wayne will

106
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: come out because you know, Lil Wayne is loyal to

107
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: dre and herein lies our culture. Rub Will Kendrick Lamar

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: perform not like us? I think he will. I think

109
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: the big issue is whether or not for Drake, which

110
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: I heard he was trying to stop him from performing

111
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: that particular song because he calls Drake a pedophile and

112
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: said song. I think that doesn't even matter anymore. As

113
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: we saw at the Grammys, Kendricks don't have to say anything.

114
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: Everyone knows this song verbatim by heart. We saw Beyonce

115
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: clapping and bouncing. She'll never move. I interviews Serena not

116
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: too long ago. She was like, that's my jam. Drake

117
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: has to be sick. So here we are at the

118
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: super Bowl, with all of these storylines. Will Kendrick Lamar

119
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: perform not like us? I think he will. Will he

120
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: be gracious enough to let little Wan come out? I

121
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: don't think so. Will Drake lose his mind? I think so?

122
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: Will Donald Trump interact with Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce?

123
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: And is in fact the Eagles win the Super Bowl?

124
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Here are the main storylines. If

125
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: the Eagles win the Super Bowl, y'all, I'm gonna be happy.

126
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm ruth for the Eagles I'm gonna let you know,

127
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm Jalen hurts all day every day. But if the

128
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Eagles win the Super Bowl, it is going to be special.

129
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Will your president say something positive? Let's hope. So he's

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: already said he's rooting for Patrick Mahomes. We all know

131
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: that his wife is very vocal and proud about how

132
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: she is a Trump supporter. But if in fact, Patrick

133
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes does not win and Jalen wins, does your president

134
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: say something positive? I hope. So, However, if Patrick Mahomes win,

135
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: more storylines three Pete never done before, he will be

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: certified goat. And I'm not hating. Both of these quarterbacks

137
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 1: are amazing and special. Their stories are amazing and special.

138
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: They both belong where they are this Sunday, giving us

139
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: to entertainment that we love. My my mind, there are

140
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: so many things that can happen in terms of will

141
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: it happen? And then what is the reaction?

142
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 3: I do not know.

143
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: It is juicy, but this is the perfect weekend when

144
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: sports culture and politics intersect. Sports culture and politics. Say

145
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: what you want. I do not want to hear anybody

146
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: tell me that they are separate, siloed, don't go together.

147
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: They absolutely go together like peanut butter and jelly, like

148
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Jack and Jill like a press and comb in Greece,

149
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: like a banana in a split. No, I don't think

150
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: so anyway, you get what I'm saying. Now, on to

151
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: the podcast. While I told you that Roywood Junior, comedian

152
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Roywood Junior, would be on the podcast today, the story

153
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: behind him coming on is that when I had an

154
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: opportunity to bump into him a few weeks back, actually,

155
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: the day in which his Hulu special released, he was

156
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: on a panel with me on CNN and we had

157
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: a good time and we kei keid and we laughed

158
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: and we caught up, and I thought to myself, one

159
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: great human. Two, easy to be around, joyful. Three he's

160
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: onto something with lonely Flowers. If you've seen it, you

161
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: know what I mean. All of us are very siloed,

162
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: and I think it's just the world that we live in.

163
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to blame everything on social media, but

164
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you're just like, ugh, everyone's so crazy. Let me

165
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: stay in the house, or it's scary to go out

166
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: and interact with people because social media has made it

167
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: hard for us to do so in a real normal

168
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: way and be present with human beings and be vulnerable

169
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: so they can see and talk to us. But there

170
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: are so many ways to talk about it. And as

171
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, we're were Junior was on The Daily Show

172
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: and he had two for many years. Take very you know,

173
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: unfortunate stories and find the humor or the sarcasm or

174
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: the irony and make it a teachable moment or something

175
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: that we could actually digest. Palpable was stored, I was

176
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: trying to say, and so on the podcast today we

177
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: get into it. We pick up from where from Friday,

178
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: January seventeenth. That was the day in which we worked together,

179
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: and that was the day in which the Hulu special

180
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: was released. But that's where we pick up. The day

181
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: of January seventeenth, and as you will know, the world

182
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: had yet to have the inauguration of our president and

183
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to Roy about a special, but

184
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I also wanted to talk to him about politics. I

185
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: wanted to get his opinion. And I know you guys

186
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: are going to think this is crazy. You all may

187
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: say I'm crazy for saying this, but for me, I

188
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: think comedians are some of the smartest people in the world.

189
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Sit back, relax, and enjoy this edition of Naked Sports Friday,

190
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: January seventeenth. He also works at CNN, and we were

191
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: on Abby's show together and he walked in and he

192
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: had so much wonderful energy, and he's always so generous

193
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: and kind to me. So I appreciate you. I'll automatically

194
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: like you for that, because you're just always the same.

195
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: You're even I know what to get. But you were celebrating,

196
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: and I thought that was really I thought that was

197
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: really a good way to show how hard you work.

198
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm celebrating, I'm coming, I'm doing press, but

199
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm still working. But I'm gonna sell. I'm squeezing a

200
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a celebration.

201
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Friday night belongs to me.

202
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: How do it feel?

203
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 3: I felt odd. I generally don't allow myself to sit

204
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 3: in any emotions really good are bad. I just generally

205
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: just push, push, push. But for this special I was like,

206
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna go have a steak.

207
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's not you know, if someone hurt that

208
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: celebration maybe Like that sounds very very simple, very very understated,

209
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,239
Speaker 1: but just satisfying.

210
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: Also, the people who know me know that I generally

211
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: don't sit still. But like the general celebratory activities, I'll

212
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: play PlayStation, which is what I generally might do two

213
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: times a year, maybe three. I bought all the games

214
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: and just never just don't get to play them, so

215
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: I might do that as a kickback. Sometimes just being

216
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 3: home and doing nothing, like just literally I'm so busy

217
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: sometimes that nothing is the activity I love. It is

218
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: the only thing I don't get to do. Their original

219
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: plan because Hulu asked me, They said, well, do you

220
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: do a premiere party and somewhere in New Young Friday

221
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: night and step and repeat. I can't think of enough

222
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: people that I would want to be around to justify

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: the cost of the venue and the DJ and the food.

224
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: But you weren't paying for it, don't matter.

225
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: I don't want to be there.

226
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: If I because you couldn't think of enough people. You

227
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: didn't know enough people that you wanted to have at

228
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: a party.

229
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 3: That room would be filled with people that I either

230
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: have shallow relationships with, and that's not a bad thing,

231
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: but on this particular night I don't want to be around.

232
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: There would be far less deep people. Yeah space, So

233
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: I just I just declined. I mean, they were very

234
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 3: kind of by a wish. You had to give me

235
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 3: the budget for.

236
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: You know, you give me that that you put that

237
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: in the next contract. Give me that budget. Give me

238
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: that budget for the stage and a wardrobe and all

239
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: the things that you want.

240
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: The other option, I was going to go to my

241
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: mom's house. I was going to do a premiere party

242
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: at my mom's house and have to step and repeat,

243
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: like just really be like violate the home owners Association night.

244
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: But the logistics of getting down in my mom, my friends,

245
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: all my buddies from house school, that but that would

246
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: have been worth it. But the logistics on both sides

247
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: of that day just didn't lend itself to my ultimate celebration.

248
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: If I could do it, I want to do it.

249
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: I want to. I want to. I want to go

250
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: to Joe's crap shot and I want to rent out

251
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 3: the whole place, sit there and silence and eat stuffrom

252
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: mushrooms and make them turn off the music.

253
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: Most importantly, why.

254
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 3: It's the best food, the worst atmosphere.

255
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so that you want to runt it, Okay.

256
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 3: I want to have so much money that I can

257
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: go in a place and go turn.

258
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: The music off and say everybody, get out and just

259
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: feed me because the atmosphere is tired.

260
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: I didn't even know that was the thing until I

261
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: ran in the Rod Stewart in London. I was shopping

262
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: with my mom and an associate came up and they

263
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: were like, we need everyone to leave the floor.

264
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have a shopper, Yeah, shopping.

265
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: Just shoot me out, like like my couple dollars.

266
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. Your five dollars, don't matter. His his

267
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: one hundred million. That's what they were trying to tell.

268
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: You, and that's what I want. But they just crap.

269
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, we can do that, which leads

270
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: me every one of these celebrations sounds very you know,

271
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: very particular, a little isolated, which leads me to the

272
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: special low Flowers. Why why that title?

273
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: I want to take the train rap by myself. Two windows,

274
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: three four days South America Joints. There's one in Canada

275
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: like where you never get.

276
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: I know exactly about. They had one in Switzerland too.

277
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: That's the one I want to do. I know exactly Okay,

278
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: just like that. That's the other ultimate celebration.

279
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: I tied up especially Lonely Flowers because I feel like

280
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: that's who we are as people now like everybody's alone,

281
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: everybody's isolated. It's easier to be alone, and then some

282
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: of us are with people and still alone because you're

283
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: with the wrong person. So it was just an exploration

284
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: into how we became disconnected. And then the back half

285
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: of the special it's just proposing solutions, possible solutions. You know.

286
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: I just as I started putting the act together last year,

287
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: well this kind of I left Daily Show end of

288
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: twenty three and I worked this set for most of

289
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: twenty four and the more I started looking at the material,

290
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: the more it just all started falling under one thing,

291
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: and just I disrespect wherever my mind is going. That's well,

292
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: this is clearly what I'm into. Whether I and I

293
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: didn't set out with the theme of loneliness and then

294
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: write jokes to it, it just revealed itself as I

295
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: worked through my set without the month, and I just

296
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: took out all the political material I had, Kamala campaign

297
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 3: jokes and all of that, but that none of that

298
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: fit with the larger thing. And also it was good

299
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: to not get into politics, and so I did that

300
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: for three straight.

301
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Specially, why was it good not to get into politics?

302
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Why do you think, Okay, wait, time out. I have

303
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: so many questions. I'm gonna go with lonely flowers first.

304
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: I do agree with you. I do think we're all

305
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: very lonely people, Like I say to myself, I was like,

306
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: I don't feel really lonely, but there's also some peace

307
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: in that for me. And I'm around a lot of people,

308
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm all like, oh no, I'm gonna go back to

309
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: being at my house by myself. So how do you

310
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: in your special reconcile or talk about that? Because there

311
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: is some there is some happiness solitude.

312
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 3: There's happiness in solitude, but in the long term, is

313
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: it negative or not positive? And I think even if

314
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 3: you have people, I think a lot of people are

315
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: lonely intentionally Yeah okay, So then how long is that sustainable?

316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: How healthy is that? And it doesn't mean that you

317
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: go out and have fifty friends. But you know, like

318
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 3: in the back of the special, I talk about how,

319
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: you know, my mom continues to make friends and that's

320
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: part of what keeps her. That's so good, Like that's

321
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: a thing where how does your mother she's seventy.

322
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: Five and she makes new friends.

323
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: That's great because it's this is fucked up to say,

324
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: but at seventy five, some of your friends are going

325
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: to mynd have God, yeah, the friends had already been sure.

326
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: The reality is they die in different ways, like they

327
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: literally could be dead, but then sometimes they fall.

328
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: Off as well off. People change, and so what are

329
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: you supposed to do? Just never deal with new people.

330
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: I think the mistake we made, and I talk about

331
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: this in the special, is that we try how to

332
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: create these deeper bonds with new friends. That's not possible, possible.

333
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: You're comparing the new friendship to the old one, and

334
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: you almost in a way, you kind of got an alacrc.

335
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: People just a little bit sure, which sounds shallow. Why

336
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: but everything I just I don't know. I just think

337
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: that most everything in this life is transactional. And we

338
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 3: view that word transactional as insensitive or despondent and detached.

339
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: But you shouldn't be doing anything that's not reciprocating.

340
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean transactional? I meet a new friend.

341
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: I just moved to New York. I meet a new girlfriend.

342
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with her, and I like her. She's

343
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: not like my best friends in LA. She's not like

344
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: my home. The people that I've known all of my life,

345
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: but I like hanging out with her and I'm lonely.

346
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody, so i'ma hanging out with her,

347
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Or is that transactional? No,

348
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: it's providing friendship. It might feel transactional.

349
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: But the only reason you like hanging with her is

350
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: because she's not nagging you or talking down, nothing fun

351
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: of you or something like that. So there's something good

352
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: in that. And I'm gonna imagine that you'd being a

353
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: good person what reciprocate and ask them about their day

354
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: and what things that they give a damn about. And

355
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: you wouldn't always pick the place to eat, let them

356
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: pick the So those things are You're like, I say, transactional,

357
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: but people go to therapy, say pour into.

358
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: Then pour into you. We're pouring into each other.

359
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: Yes, transaction.

360
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: Do you find well?

361
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 3: Okay, and I go to therapy.

362
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I was gonna say, you're like,

363
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: and don't do this therapy because it doesn't work. Okay,

364
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: You're like, don't do that.

365
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: I'm just saying therapy and of on.

366
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Seal, Yes, you have to go all the time therapy,

367
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm gonna give you this, I'm

368
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna get you off for free. I know why don't

369
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: they do that because they I've never had a therapist

370
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: offer me any kind.

371
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 3: Of discred Then why is that we have a therapist

372
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 3: and that's them?

373
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I've had a therapist on they're so rude. Okay, Anyway,

374
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: I digress. Are you do you think you're lonely? No?

375
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: I think that I figured out ways on managing relationships

376
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: and understanding how to interact with people that give me that.

377
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: What I had to be was more intentional about connection because,

378
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 3: like you said, and I agree with you, it's easy

379
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: just to stay at the house. It's a million in

380
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 3: one tweets about people celebrating when the plans cancel and

381
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: you didn't really want to go. When they call right before,

382
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: you're like, oh okay, and you'd be happy. You don't

383
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: like answering the phone. That wasn't always us as a people.

384
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: We don't like to we we to your point in

385
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: your special someone calls me mad, what is the phone for?

386
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 3: So? Why how did we get to that place? So

387
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: to me, it was just about it blowing that I

388
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 3: don't think I'm lonely. In that sense of I don't

389
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 3: have connections, but I do want to make sure that

390
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 3: some of the connections I have they're genuine and real,

391
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: and so you know. I think that's why we value

392
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: old friends so much, is because we have roots. But

393
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: I think that makes us more prone to putting up

394
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: from people. Yeah, for sure, because well this is from

395
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 3: the old It's.

396
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: So for sure. But I don't I don't think. I

397
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: don't think that's true. I think I think most people

398
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: are lonely if they admit it. Whether you could have

399
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: thirty forty people around you, you could have a house full

400
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: of kids, you could be married with kids, you still

401
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: feel what I when I think of lonely flowers, And

402
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: what I sense is this this lack of being present.

403
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: If I'm here with you and I'm not present, I'm

404
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: still I'm somewhere else, it still feel so lonely. I

405
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: still feel disconnected, I still feel separated. I could be

406
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: having a great time, but I just still feel separated,

407
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: like because I'm not present. And I think that has

408
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: everything to do with all the things that are out

409
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: of disposal. We're eighty d We're on our phone, We're

410
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: picking up our phone and giving out orders to social

411
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: media people. I need you to take the care ofusel

412
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: and slide three to four. Ye, and you're not even

413
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: talking to the You're just like, okay, i'll talk to

414
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: you later see the post when it happens goodbye. Not

415
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: you per se. But in general, that's what we do.

416
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: So I think that is the reason why so many

417
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: of us are lonely. Yes, we do like saying at home,

418
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: but I do think that we have too many things

419
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: at our disposal to occupy your time and make us

420
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: and make us numb to what's going on in.

421
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: The world, and it can easily make you less connected.

422
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: You know. Say what you want about video gamers, but

423
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: I think they're some of the most connected people because

424
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 3: they're on a stream and talking to each other. Really,

425
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they're the one lad. Yeah, like the idea

426
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: of just talking to another person. That's essentially young people's

427
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 3: talking on the phone, put on a headset, yapping with

428
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: some dude on the other side of the country. Why

429
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: you bounce around a video game doing what you do

430
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: while we're sitting around playing candy Do people still play

431
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 3: candy Crush?

432
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't Yeah, no, no, no, we're

433
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: just asking gen x. No, I don't know nothing about it.

434
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't know angry birds.

435
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about nothing. I don't know what

436
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: you're saying.

437
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: We'll just keep naming old ass.

438
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: What wordle? No wortle? I don't even know what that is. Okay,

439
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: So you've been on I don't know what you're saying.

440
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: You've been on a press tour and you said you're

441
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: happy not to talk about politics. Are you really truly

442
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: happy not to talk about politics after so long? Yeah?

443
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Do you think that's the new? And I know you've

444
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: been asked this question. Do you think that is because

445
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: of this current administration in the way in which people

446
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: have gone after him they're afraid of what he's going

447
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: to do? Or you just like it's a new we

448
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: gotta frame the way we do comedy now.

449
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a reset on the

450
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: approach to how we criticize people in power. So why

451
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: because it's not landed with nobody. Y'all had eight years

452
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: to call this man stupid and think that that's gonna

453
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: be the thing. Well, I wasn't going to vote for him,

454
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 3: but then I saw the Jimmy Kimmel and the roy

455
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: Wood Junior Comedy, and I was like, Okay, maybe that's

456
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: not working. So if you're talking about truth to power,

457
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: we got that challenge. Yes, then how do you figure

458
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: out a way to what's the language? Yeah, because everybody's

459
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: been rewired. The way we receive information has been rewired.

460
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: Micro Bigley has a beautiful quote for the Ages. Comedy

461
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 3: only works when everybody agrees on the premise. So if

462
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 3: I say the administration is bad, but you think the

463
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: administration is good, it doesn't matter what the rest of

464
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 3: the joke is. You don't agree with my assessment. So

465
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that you can't go down that road comedically.

466
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm saying I'm trying to figure out a way to rewire.

467
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: And I enjoyed the year away from the Daily Show,

468
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't have been able to even think and

469
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 3: explore loneliness. That being a corresponding is hard. You have

470
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: to you spend every day watching them work, yeah, and

471
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: then figuring out how to make it funny. And ninety

472
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 3: percent of that doesn't even make it to the show.

473
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: So you just watched that show all day. What does

474
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: that do to you your soul? So let me do

475
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 3: a special that's just about us collectively as a society.

476
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: Don't even worry about the people, don't worry about none

477
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 3: of the policies. Let's just talk about what we are

478
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: dealing with right now. And then CNN becomes the place

479
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: where on Saturday nights on CNN, I can crack a

480
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: joker too. And honestly, that show is beautiful because we're

481
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: just submating the news week, We digging get it like

482
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: and still.

483
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: This all happened and we're gonna make a joke about it.

484
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: And I just gary, I just hope that people don't

485
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: viute it is me not caring or me not with

486
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: me checking out. It's just that you do that. For

487
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 3: eight or nine years at Comedy Central, you got to

488
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 3: figure out an okay, well what else?

489
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: You had a reset, you got a rebrand, you got

490
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to figure out other It's not not even a rebrand.

491
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: It's just like other elements of who you are and

492
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: what you're capable of doing.

493
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 3: This is there has to be It's like football, there

494
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: has to be a halftime adjustment.

495
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got to make some adjustments. Life is that.

496
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: See what you can do in the second hand, This

497
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: is the second half of Trump, if you want to

498
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 3: think about it like that.

499
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: So the approach is to how we Oh, that's good,

500
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: that's a good point. It's a football game, and this

501
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: is the second half of Trump, right. We had, we

502
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: had our little halftime break, and now we're back in it.

503
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: Joe Biden came out, little marching band, little take taking me.

504
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: And they just and they just I don't know if

505
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: you saw that with the kid take off. They just

506
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: introduced another amendment to see if a president can have

507
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: a third term. That's why I said it's not gonna

508
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: be four years. Y'all be ready for it.

509
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: Trump is gonna die in office.

510
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: It's Roy Wood Junior on Naked Sports. We'll be right

511
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: back in just a few moments. Hey, everybody, welcome back

512
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: to Naked Sports. Appreciate y'all still being here with us

513
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: as well as Roy Wood Junior. So fresh off of

514
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: his special, his Hulu special, he has shared with us

515
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: that he's in a new season of his life, leaving

516
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: the Daily Show, creating and also flexing other talented muscles

517
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: that he may have, and also he's observing his career

518
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: and politics in a new way. To me that is

519
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: very interesting. So we pick up at how he plans

520
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: to approach politics as a comedian, but more specifically President

521
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. A real issue for all of us that

522
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm talking about myself in these public facing roles. What

523
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: is the premise? The premise isn't he stupid? Because he won?

524
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: So what's the premise because he's not.

525
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: That's the part that still remains to be seen, and

526
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: people have to explore that. That requires hosts that are creative.

527
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: That requires writers and producers that are willing to risk

528
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 3: their jobs low key to do something different, because if

529
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: you do something different and it doesn't get ratings, then

530
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: you're so you can be screwed a number of different ways.

531
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 3: And I think that is where political satire eventually is

532
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 3: going to have to have a reckoning and a long

533
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: look in the mirror at how we've approached politics and

534
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 3: criticizing politics over the last decade.

535
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: I feel like the same thing for journalists. I feel

536
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: like your sister, because you live in both worlds. I

537
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: feel like we have to figure out a new way

538
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: to talk about him so that it lands and that

539
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: it makes sense. But I'm also very afraid of the

540
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: fact that everyone will filter themselves and be afraid to

541
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: tell the truth, Like I see that you can't tell me.

542
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: For instance, with Elon Musk, you can't tell me that

543
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a Hitler symbol that he did, salute that he did,

544
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: but you're telling me it's not. And so what do

545
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: I do as a journalist? I was like, if you

546
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: see something, say something, that's what they tell you, right,

547
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: And as a comedian, do you ignore that? Do do

548
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: you make a joke about that? Do you say it

549
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: doesn't land? So we have to not have My point

550
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: is I don't want us to be in the worlds

551
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: that we live in. I don't want us to be silent.

552
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: And it doesn't have to be I'm going to kill everybody.

553
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: I just don't want us to be silent about what's

554
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: off danger.

555
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: The danger in adjusting the approach is that you run

556
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: the risk of normalizing the things.

557
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: And that's what we're doing.

558
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: That's a slick. That's the difficult part of it, and

559
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: I don't know how we navigate that because it's gonna

560
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: be a war. The first journalist that the first April

561
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: Ryan in that press briefing, whenever they do their first

562
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: their first first press brief and somebody jump back at

563
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: Trump they're gonna be gone.

564
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: They won't let them back here.

565
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 3: Okay, So now, if you're that news outlet and you

566
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: need access, you need a reporter in a press pool.

567
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: The next reporter who goes in, you're gonna tell them

568
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 3: to jump bad. No, you're gonna tell them to ask

569
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: them softball questions. So then it requires an editor and

570
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: ahead of these news organizations to keep sending in the

571
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: next soldier to go in and get their head chopped off.

572
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: We've already and we should and everyone should be prepared

573
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: for that while they while they're cutting people, they should

574
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: be adding people. When I tell you, what did Kanye

575
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: West say about Jewish people? They own everything? You do

576
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: you remember what happened when he did that? They took

577
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: all his money right then they start freezing his accounts.

578
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Everything was like it severely intentional with him, right because

579
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: of the way he was approaching Jewish people. Do you

580
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: remember that? I remember that.

581
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: I remember Kanye having all the money and then didn't have.

582
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: And he was trying to get and then he like

583
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: he got quiet, he was getting his money back. What

584
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: happened to Elon when he did that? Did you hear

585
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: from anyone saying that was inappropriate.

586
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I see what you're saying.

587
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: We've all pretty normalized it. ADL came out and said,

588
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: don't jump to conclusions. What conclusion?

589
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: How much?

590
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: What I'm encouraging you to do. Even though you said

591
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: you're taking a break from political commentary in terms of

592
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: what you do, I'm still encouraging you to because you're

593
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: smart enough, You're really smart. I was just I'm encouraging

594
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: you to not give it up completely because we still

595
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: need you.

596
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: I'm not abandoning any of that. I'm trying to figure

597
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: out what is the approach that has a level of

598
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: efficacy that makes it worth the trouble and the hurdles

599
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: of it.

600
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: Because we're all trying to figure that out and.

601
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: The issue and so if you do something different and

602
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 3: it doesn't connect and there's low ratings, this media is

603
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: still a capitalistic structure organization. Sure, so you need ratings,

604
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: you need profit, you need a brand, so you need eyeballs.

605
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 3: And so if you get cut out, like if you

606
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: take the ADL for instance, if the ADL comes out

607
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: and says, and this is just extreme scenario, ad L

608
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: comes out and says, Trump's dude, is we we denounce

609
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: Elon and Elon, we hate you Elon, and then Trump

610
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 3: goes I bet law law, law, law, think, think things

611
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: that adversely affects the ADL and keeps them from doing

612
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: their overall greater mission. Right did the ADL gain or

613
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: lose by criticizing Elon when we look at what they're

614
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: trying to do in totality as an organization in terms

615
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: of helping people.

616
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to criticize them though.

617
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: Okay, but you're still putting yourself in the crosshairs of

618
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: a vindictive administration for the next four years for the

619
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: sake of saying what's right. You lose the opportunity potentially

620
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: to do what it's wrong.

621
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: It's not the next four years though, okay.

622
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 3: So then then you should say something now, I mean,

623
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: you should say something else.

624
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't have the answers. What I am saying is

625
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: that the blueprint has been there. Our ancestors did far

626
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: more with far less. And what I mean by that

627
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: is that they were far more organized. They knew how

628
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: to make sure if in fact they were going to boycott,

629
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: they had the endurance for what it would take and

630
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: how long it would take, and they made extreme sacrifices,

631
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: extreame sacrifices. This is not just four years and we're

632
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: so comfortable and don't nobody want a sacrifice.

633
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 3: I think the difference between our ancestors and US is

634
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 3: that there was more collective struggle, so there was more cohesion.

635
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: Correct, and there's about to be more correct correct. Say

636
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: that again. I don't mean to cut you out say that.

637
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that's right. I think that. I think

638
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: the difference between our ancestors and US is that our

639
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 3: ancestors had more collective oppression to deal with because they

640
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: weren't all in different tears Fiscally, not every black person

641
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: feels the same, and maybe they didn't feel that way

642
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: back then, but there was still a degree of eye

643
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: Well I don't agree. I'm more of a Malcolm guy.

644
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: But if this, if this Martin dude, say we're gonna know,

645
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: let's try it. Whereas now you can have anti black

646
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: black protesters, Like if you showed up to a protest,

647
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: it might be people on the other side of the

648
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: protest that are also black.

649
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: So I agree with you. Because they were trying to

650
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: change laws. They that's exactly what they had a goal.

651
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: They had a central focus goal. But there are things

652
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: that we universally are majority in the terms of majority,

653
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: agree on that need to be changed.

654
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: Okay, right, yeah, I agree with that.

655
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: Like we were just in here joking around, the I

656
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: is gone. I can call you silly, I can use

657
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: the R word. Now, it's not even our word. You

658
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: could just say it straight out.

659
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: It might not even be an office.

660
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, here you go. Here's some watermelon

661
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: and chicken and ha ha ha and it's okay, it's okay,

662
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: now we can do that. It's not inappropriate and grabbing

663
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: by the you know what I mean?

664
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, almost. I almost feel like if you're black, you

665
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: were in an office, you gotta start clapping back.

666
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have to.

667
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: My point is got to be crazy. It's crazy coat.

668
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: That you cannot you cannot rationalize with crazy. So I'm saying,

669
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: we have to meet that energy and how do we

670
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: do that and what does it look like? And I

671
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: think that it's through voices like yours that are just

672
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: so smart and so important and so funny. I think

673
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: what is the premise is your point? I don't know

674
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: what the premise is, but if we can, if we could,

675
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: if we could really talk to him, in a way

676
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: that's funny and makes sense for everybody. So when I

677
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna figure it out, but it's coming.

678
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 3: I think the other the other option is playing running

679
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: the place, running the same play book in terms of

680
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 3: the approach to how we inform the people, but then

681
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 3: waiting for the riffle effects of some of these policies,

682
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: because I don't think what's not going to happen in

683
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: the next year or so. There's not gonna be alloted

684
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 3: for democratsity to stop a lot of this stuff from

685
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: getting passed. He pushed it. That's just what it is.

686
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: So then maybe you can reason with people that are

687
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 3: hurt on the other side of these policies, who didn't

688
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: realize that they were chopping off their own nose when

689
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: they voted for Trump. So that might be one way.

690
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: You got to wait for it, wait for that, and

691
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: they still have to trust you as the source of

692
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 3: the information for the thing. And that's part of why like,

693
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 3: and I'm not even saying this on some plugy type shit.

694
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 3: That's part of why I like what we're doing on

695
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 3: Have I Got News for You? Is that we're bringing

696
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 3: on right when we had on Tennessee State Rep. Tim

697
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: burchet Yeah, last season, I think we have a lot

698
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: of people's not happy with us. I don't mind that

699
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 3: Samantha Beef was supposed to be the guest originally she

700
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: found out. She was like, I'm straight on that. I

701
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 3: don't even want to I don't want to have a

702
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: dialogue with that type of Christim Burchett is voted no

703
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 3: on pretty much everything that is wrong with And you know,

704
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: that was a very tense episode, but it was worthwhile,

705
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: in my opinion, to have that person on and just

706
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 3: have a conversation about your policies and just approach it

707
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: from a logical place and you can yell at that man, yeah,

708
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 3: crack some jokes. We took some shots, but he got

709
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: his words in too. Sure, I think that that has

710
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 3: the potential, that type of dialogue has the potential to

711
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 3: be a bridge versus the whole Why do you platform

712
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 3: these idiots correct type ideology?

713
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: Sure, but.

714
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: I just I don't know. I just know that a

715
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 3: lot of people are angry, a lot of people are hurt.

716
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking for you to give me

717
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: the answers. I don't know why all.

718
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 3: Ill looking I'm.

719
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: Answer you, okay, So I've been you know, I think

720
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: of times in this country's history when things were in

721
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: peril or seemingly in peril. And I'm not an alarmist

722
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: by any means, but there are these times in history

723
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 1: and it was always the artist, whether it be the painter,

724
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: whether it be the the comedian, whether it be the journalist.

725
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: Everybody gave us a blueprint on how to do this,

726
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: whether it be Langston Hughes or James Baldwinner, I to

727
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: Be Wells or or whatever artists you can think of.

728
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: I was having a conversation with Derek Adams the other night.

729
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: He is one of our contemporaries in terms of art,

730
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, no, it's my time and

731
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: I'll and I don't have to I don't have to

732
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: announce what I'm going to do, but I am going

733
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: to do something. I am going to protest. I am

734
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: going to document this time in history so that it

735
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: can be remembered and not forgotten. I'm going to use

736
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: And he didn't know what it looked like. No one

737
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: knows what it looks like, but they want to do it.

738
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: So I say all that to say, it'll come to

739
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: you because that's the gift you've been given, and can

740
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: you share it with us? Can you not just keep

741
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: it to yourself and be willing?

742
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 3: I think that we have to as a society, which

743
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 3: is part of what I was talking about in the special.

744
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: Something is simple is not having a cashier, just not

745
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: talking to someone in the grocery store. A little bit

746
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 3: of chit chat might get you a little bit of

747
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: understanding from both sides, you know, Like it's like when

748
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 3: people say, guess so true, when liberals say, I don't

749
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: understand how somebody could have voted for that, man, I

750
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 3: understand off the top. They tell me you don't talk

751
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 3: to enough people. If you don't understand, I absolutely understand.

752
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: I mean, you ain't got enough friends over there? People

753
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: are singleish, you voters. Most people are selfish. Most people

754
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 3: are thinking about themselves.

755
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: First, whad percent? And we were in and that is

756
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: the lonely bubble that we're in, which is why you're

757
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 1: a special is so special, because that is why we

758
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: are here today. We are we don't even talk to nobody.

759
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll talk to the people I know, And then how

760
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 3: much rhythm ensures that I don't see anybody else? Correct?

761
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: Correct? How much is a loaf of bread.

762
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: In the store or door dash?

763
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: In the store? Door dash is extreme?

764
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: I don't know full dollars for fifty Can.

765
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: You google a loaf of bread? Can you tell me

766
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: how much it cost? I'm gonna ask him a series

767
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: of questions whole week, not the wonder bread. Yeah, how much?

768
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: How much is? How much is a gallon of milk?

769
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: Oh? I do not know. I do not know. Okay,

770
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 3: I generally buy milk by the half gallon. I think

771
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: it was like three seventy five, which is shit. That's

772
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: a lot.

773
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back and look at these numbers later.

774
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: How much is a does a carton of eggs? It

775
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: doesn't cardenaggs.

776
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 3: I'd be just hopeful. I'll just be brad.

777
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: You know why we are where we are because you

778
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: don't know those things. That's quite simply, I mean, neither

779
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: we should be ashamed of ourselves. There's an entire section

780
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: of people that believe Donald Trump knows exactly how much

781
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: those things cost and will lower the prices, which is

782
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: why they voted for him. There's an entire section of

783
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 1: society that believes that.

784
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because I'm not gonna like I haven't

785
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: been able to benefit from some level of success in

786
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: the last few years where I don't necessarily have to.

787
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 3: I remember being in a grocery store with my dad

788
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: as a child, and he will look at me, up

789
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 3: gallon and a half gallon. Do the math if he

790
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: had a coupon for the half gallon, but there was

791
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: a new coupon for the gallon. We leave him with

792
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 3: two half gallons because we saved seven. Yeah, so we're

793
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: doing math equations all down to I honest, a lot

794
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 3: of Americans that deal with that, you.

795
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: Know, it takes you back to your college days.

796
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: I've had the privilege for a while to not have

797
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 3: to look get the gas pump while I pumped my gas,

798
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: and I don't think a lot of people understand that what.

799
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: A blessing or auto pay your mortgage. That's a whole

800
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: nother level of just like, I'm not even thinking twice

801
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: by nothing because I.

802
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 3: Remember you pump gas back in the day before they

803
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 3: had the auto stop.

804
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: You.

805
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: I meant the pump ten dollars I missed around in

806
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 3: pump thirteen.

807
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: I used to I used to, well, let me tell

808
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: you something, this is so true. In college, I would

809
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: be like, I got five dollars and seventy five cents.

810
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: Five dollars of the same essence is going into my

811
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: car five dollars and seventy five cents. Whatever it was,

812
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: that's what's exactly what it was. I had a friend

813
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: who would look at people drive really nice cars and

814
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: then they would come to the gas They would pull

815
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: up at the gas station, and then they would drive away,

816
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: and he just it was a photographer of my in Atlanta,

817
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: and he would run around to see if they filled

818
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: up the tank and woul out fail would be like

819
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: ten dollars, fifteen dollars, because that's how most of us

820
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: were living, and that's how most of the world're being honest,

821
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: that's the way. That's the way most of the world lives.

822
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: We key keying out and most of.

823
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: The people who are on television do not live like that.

824
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: So if you if you have to watch that gas

825
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: pump down to the decimal, how relatable do you feel

826
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 3: that person is on TV telling you that you don't

827
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 3: need to vote for this guy who told you he

828
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 3: cared about the eggs, even if it's a lie.

829
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: Even if it's a lie, it's what they need to

830
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: hear it's and it sounds like truth. In his landing, Trump.

831
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 3: Ran the same playbook as Obama, and that was hope.

832
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 3: He just never said the word he used.

833
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: He weaponized all your frustration and hate, and he turned

834
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 1: that into a platform. People were like, I'm upset them.

835
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 3: Yep, they messing with you. I'm gonna fix it them eggs,

836
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna fix it. Oh what you do, Coald Mining,

837
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna fix it. Had a joke. It never made TV,

838
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: but I joke, if you worked at Blockbuster Video and

839
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: if Trump said I'm bringing back DVDs.

840
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 1: Vote for him bringing it back?

841
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 3: You would vote for sure. Netflix and streaming is clearly

842
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: the wave. But if Trump said I'm bringing back DVDs

843
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: and that's how you feed your family, you could give

844
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 3: about deportation. Mm hmm, you could give a damn about birthright,

845
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: lunch is, Paris Climate Treaty. I don't know what none

846
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 3: of that means. He said he was bringing back to DVD.

847
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do find one thing that I the

848
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: so blatant. And I wonder how long it will take

849
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: to set in this religious aspect of this evangelical evangelical

850
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: hope that he alleges he has because we saw him

851
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: not put his hand on the Bible. And we also

852
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: know that some of these people truly believe like they

853
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: want Christianity. But I wonder if they really truly want

854
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: that back in our schools the way they say that

855
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: it will come back in our schools. Like in Oklahoma,

856
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: there was a the they have bibles. Now you have

857
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: to read the Bible in school. Now, nice Bibles, the

858
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: Trump Bible. Yeah, buying Trump which is which is so

859
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: blasphemous in so many ways.

860
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 3: That's how you know you're not stupid, because you know

861
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 3: they're dumb enough to buy it.

862
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: Well, how do you ninety dollars? But how do you

863
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: battle that? Like, you don't. What's the answer if you're

864
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: buying Trump Bibles and you believe that this man believes

865
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: in God and and and he's going to change the

866
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: world and he's God's disciples sent here to help us all.

867
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now those are the extreme. I'm talking about moderate.

868
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: I'm talking about people who voted for Mitt Romney and

869
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 3: will now vote who now converted to Trump because.

870
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: Of I just don't know how that's going to last.

871
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: I don't know how long that's gone that's what I

872
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: think will not settle.

873
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: Well. I just think that there also has to be

874
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 3: if we're talking communic and journalistically, there has to be

875
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: a degree of holding Democrats accountable.

876
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: Now, that's all we have to do.

877
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 3: And I did. The Democrats are somehow bulletproof to criticism.

878
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: Your so right.

879
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 3: That will also be the cattle pride preach because they

880
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: don't like. They don't like criticism. Mere don't want to

881
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: be Republicans. Low key, it roll off of them. They

882
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 3: don't care.

883
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,479
Speaker 1: Well, they don't care because they have an agenda, doesn't

884
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: you're just talking? Okay, So here's my issue.

885
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: John Stuart called Joe Biden old, and y'all have thought that.

886
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 3: He said.

887
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: He's too old. He was too old, but you can't

888
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 1: even walk. He didn't even he didn't even pardon. I'm

889
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: going to get into it, but we're starting to see

890
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: everyone's true colors. He didn't pardon one person, one person

891
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: on Comma's list, which tells me he wasn't fulling with

892
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: her again after she lost, like she was the great

893
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: Black Hope and then she didn't win, and now he don't.

894
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: They don't know her no more. Yeah, that is some

895
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: Hollywood for your ass.

896
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 3: But I don't think that was I don't think any

897
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 3: of that was Kamma's fault. And I think that she

898
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 3: took the brunt of it. Of course, I would imagine

899
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 3: somewhere in there, it was probably a lot of people

900
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: telling her how to run her race, and she chose

901
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: to run her race the way she wanted to. And

902
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: now they going, we should have done it, should have

903
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: done what they told him to do and still loss.

904
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 3: Then who are you because they still would cash your aside,

905
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 3: here's mine, Be cast aside, be cast aside on your terms,

906
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: run your place.

907
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: I was just about to say, I think that we

908
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: all have a hard time being comfortable in our workspace,

909
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: but especially for black women. And and I'm like, they're always

910
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: going to tell you got an attitude. They're always going to

911
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: be mad at you. There always are going they will

912
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: never really in corporate America or in that kind of space,

913
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: understand you. So why not just do you? It doesn't

914
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: matter to me at the end of the day if

915
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: I tried you, because you try to acquiesce, you try

916
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: to do what they want. But when it comes to

917
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 1: real life changing issues. I believe Kamala in her heart

918
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: had some things she wanted to do, and she chose

919
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: not to do because she felt like it didn't look

920
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: good for a black woman to do that. I agree

921
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: with you. She did run her campaign her way. But

922
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: case in point, she should have immediately separated herself from

923
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: Joe and the border. She should have said this country

924
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: is racist. She did come back around and do that.

925
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: There are things that she thought she was doing for

926
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: the good of the team. That's to your point. Democrats

927
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,760
Speaker 1: got to start criticizing one another.

928
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 3: How does a Democrat reach a conservative who doesn't like

929
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: race based policy and politics and statements by calling the

930
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 3: country racist? How do you do both? You know, Democratic

931
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 3: voters want to hear you say that there is a

932
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 3: problem with race, Republic.

933
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: There's absolutely a problem with race, but there's also a

934
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: problem with race within races. You got to talk about

935
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: it at all. You can't talk about one and not

936
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: talk about the other. We do have a problem at

937
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 1: the border. We got to shut these borders down, Joe.

938
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: We don't need all these people coming into our country.

939
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: And this country is also racist at the same time.

940
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and okay, now you just lost all of the

941
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 3: liberal Latinos. Now, how do you pick in an election

942
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 3: that's supposed to be neck and neck? How do you

943
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 3: make that statement? Can you gain enough Republics while losing

944
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 3: liberals off of that statement? Which is which is the

945
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: right thing to say?

946
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 1: Who knows? You gotta do it? You gotta do it consistently,

947
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: so we know so case. Okay, So here's what I

948
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: was thinking. The Democratic sounds this is so blasphemous what

949
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm about to say. But the Democratic Party feels like

950
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 1: they want to be the party for everybody. They can't,

951
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: They can't represent everybody.

952
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: Okay, so then who are you for? And that's what

953
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 3: they have to disser. And once you decide that that's

954
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 3: a bunch of argument, then everything.

955
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Behind that, it doesn't matter.

956
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 3: At least the Republicans all go, it doesn't dumb, but

957
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 3: he's our dummy. But you know they talked about Trump

958
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: behind his back and laugh heard, No you did, Yeah.

959
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: You saw them reading the lips. Did you see the

960
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: reader of.

961
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: George but he ain't never made a statement against that man. Yeah,

962
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 3: well then I won't help you campaign, but I ain't gonna.

963
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 3: I think that's what we're learning. That's what I think

964
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 3: that I think that any party that will be in

965
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 3: opposition will we'll look at that blueprint. I may not

966
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 3: agree with her, but I'm not gonna throw in her

967
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: best and say I'm I'm still gonna run. I'm still

968
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 3: I could have won the election. Yeah, at one hundred

969
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: years old on my last leg, I don't. And I

970
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 3: think that that is going to take longer than MI

971
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 3: terms for Demo.

972
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's just going to take a long time.

973
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: They said, I remember we talked about it. You need

974
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 1: an entire forensic analysis. Did you go and just from

975
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: head to toe figure it all out? What's in your body?

976
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: Get it out, all of the stuff that's bad.

977
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 3: Do you think that Kamala runs again twenty eight?

978
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: She too hurt? No, she's too hurt. You ever have

979
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: you ever been around a hurt black woman, like a real,

980
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: like a real genuine.

981
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: Hurt like one that I heard or one I got

982
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 3: hurt by somebody both I'm talking about the break up

983
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 3: like I'm just silly one that you hurt and I'm different.

984
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: No, No, but it's the same. It's the same. It's

985
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: the same in the sense of you could feel the hurt.

986
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: It's like pople not like like not like raging, but

987
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: like I don't know who I am. Case in point,

988
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm married, I'm with this man. I think this man

989
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: loves me, and then I'll find out he's been cheating

990
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: on me with who That kind of hurt is wild,

991
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: like wild, because you're like, I don't even know who

992
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: is this person. I don't even know you, who's this

993
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: person I've been with for twenty five years making him something,

994
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: not naming anybody but Mary for twenty five years. And

995
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: you find and then you find out he got a

996
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: whole other family with a whole other woman. What kind

997
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: of it's real? That's palpable. I mean, I'm talking about

998
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: just and you feel that in her. So that's what

999
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: I felt, not like she got broken up with her.

1000
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: But the betrayal is what I'm talking about about. The betrayal.

1001
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,320
Speaker 3: It's a good word. You love America too much to

1002
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 3: flip parties.

1003
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: You, So the word betrayal is very complicated. It is

1004
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: a heavy emotion, and the word feels very significant. It

1005
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: has a lot of meaning for a lot of different people.

1006
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: It evokes different types of emotions. But when we come back,

1007
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: I use that word to try to get into Roy's

1008
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: personal life. The question quite simply, has he ever betrayed

1009
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: anyone back in a moment? That's I'm just like, I

1010
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: don't know if she didn't ever get over the betrayal.

1011
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: Some people can't get over. Have you ever been cheated on?

1012
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was not that I'm older, it was

1013
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 3: it was in my twenties.

1014
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: Then have you ever cheated on somebody?

1015
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: I chop that up to the game. Yeah, I cheated,

1016
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 3: but I.

1017
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 1: Like I cheated. Let's not talk about that.

1018
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 3: I was finishing my first cheating answer. I'll get to

1019
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 3: the second I cheated answered, But like the idea of

1020
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: the hurt, yeah, it's definitely a hurt. And what I've

1021
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 3: learned from being on both sides of cheating is that

1022
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 3: there's no way to reassemble that. Like when you take

1023
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 3: two chemicals somebody somebody sent me a quote I can't

1024
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 3: remember I'm gonna butcher the wording of it, but two chemicals,

1025
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 3: once mixed, inextricably can never return back to what they

1026
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 3: were before they were mixed. And so when you talk

1027
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 3: about betrayal, once you have trust in a bond and

1028
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: you break that bond, you can't go back to Like,

1029
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 3: I don't see how comic goes back to ambitious and

1030
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,319
Speaker 3: all right, I fell down that time, but I'm back

1031
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 3: America and we're gonna do it this time. And the

1032
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 3: Democrats like, I don't know if you can ever get

1033
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 3: back to that place, because I don't know if anyone

1034
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 3: that is cheated or who who's been cheated on or

1035
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 3: cheated that was the same person on the other side

1036
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 3: you knew.

1037
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: No, no, you make, you make, you make concessions. If

1038
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 1: you decide to stay in the relationship. You you decide.

1039
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: If she decides to run again, she she has a

1040
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: real understanding of what she's running against in the people

1041
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: that she's running that she's running with, And you also

1042
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: have decided if you want to be part of the

1043
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. I don't know. If I if I were her,

1044
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 1: I'd be like, can we start a whole new party?

1045
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: I would I'm right now at the point like they

1046
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: need to tear this all down and start a whole

1047
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: new party. That's where I feel. That's what I feel,

1048
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,839
Speaker 1: because to your point, we need to start criticizing them more,

1049
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 1: which which I think you will. I think other comedians will,

1050
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: I think other journalists will, because for so long we've

1051
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: the liberals have owned media and have been very much

1052
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: been a part of legacy media. But those days are over.

1053
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: Because you just said something really smart. Somebody on TV

1054
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: is not looking at me like I can relate to

1055
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. They don't think that at all.

1056
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 3: Then that might be the answer of where we go.

1057
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: That's where we might go. Do we just solve world problems?

1058
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 3: Think we did? I'm serious, I'm serious. Out of it

1059
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 3: has to be going into the losing team's locker room

1060
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 3: and going what are the adjustments you're going to make?

1061
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 3: What have you learned from this? What are your changes

1062
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,720
Speaker 3: that you're going to And I said this on stage,

1063
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 3: goofing around, but I do believe it in that what

1064
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 3: makes sports perfect is that there is there's structures of accountability.

1065
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 3: When the team loses, there is a press conference, they

1066
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 3: make changes, they announced the changes, they tell you all,

1067
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 3: this is how we're going to fix what happened this year.

1068
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 3: Whereas Democrat like the joke was basically the day after

1069
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 3: the election, I got an email asking me for money

1070
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 3: continue to fight. I'm sorry, what is the plan?

1071
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Because I'm not giving you no money if I

1072
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: don't know the plan.

1073
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 3: Have we signed free agent yet.

1074
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 1: Have we roach it? Yeah?

1075
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, are you trying to sell season ticket packages?

1076
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: I'm all set on your season tickets, y'all lost. I'm

1077
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: all set on your season ticket I'm all set on

1078
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: your season tickets. Democrats, y'all lost. I think there has

1079
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: to be that is so profound. I'm all set on

1080
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: your season tickets. I'm not buying anything from you anymore,

1081
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: single game ticket. I might pop in here and check

1082
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: is take it out, but y'all not gonna have me

1083
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 1: locked in.

1084
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 3: But let people know what the plan is. Start having

1085
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 3: a cohesive approach. I still think they're looking wounds, and yeah,

1086
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 3: the bigger issue becomes And this goes right back to

1087
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 3: the ADL thing, because I think it's forty forty or

1088
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 3: so Democrats supported Trump's immigration blah blah blah, sure that

1089
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 3: he just signed or whatever. How much do you go?

1090
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,479
Speaker 3: How much are you risking reelection from voters who don't

1091
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 3: see what you see in terms of needing to have

1092
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 3: a different approach to party, Because there are a lot

1093
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 3: of voters who believe that the playbook that Democrats have

1094
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 3: been runing in the last eight years of you see it,

1095
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 3: call it out compromise nothing. I'm not voting for you.

1096
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 3: So now you're out. Now you're out of a job.

1097
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 3: So do you choose yourself?

1098
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: No, you do. You choose what the world is requiring now.

1099
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: And a lot of this is due to what Trump is.

1100
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: He's gotten rid of the language of politics. It requires

1101
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 1: you to be very plain and very clear.

1102
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 3: So on some Jasmine Crockett bluntness, on some Marjorie Taylor Green.

1103
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: Bluntness, that's what we're requiring.

1104
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 3: Those are the people that resonate with their basis. Okay.

1105
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 3: So but if you're a traditional, if you're an old

1106
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 3: establishment politician, and you know you have to be across

1107
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 3: the aisle now, but you answer to a base that

1108
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 3: does not with any politics.

1109
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: You have to start. But it doesn't matter. You have

1110
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: to start talking to your base in ways that they

1111
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: understand the same way that we're calling our Democrats. We

1112
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: got to call it our base. Look, I know I

1113
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: ran on this, but I'm gonna tell you what the

1114
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: world is today. Okay, now you're out, that's fine. The

1115
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 1: next person, that's fine, But we have.

1116
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 3: To you, Okay, go, what's your How many politicians are

1117
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 3: willing to be that bold because the next one in

1118
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 3: it's going to say the same thing you said.

1119
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: Now I agree with that. Not many, not many.

1120
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 3: So then they're choosing themselves or they're choosing the country.

1121
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 3: And that's the same as the Blockbuster Video employee, and

1122
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 3: it's the same as the ADO I hear you.

1123
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: They're choosing themselves.

1124
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 3: It cuts you off.

1125
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I cut you off. Your mom told

1126
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: you I talked too much, so I'm sure I'm sorry.

1127
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 3: My mom said that you were eloquent and that I

1128
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 3: need to be more eloquent when I'm seeing it.

1129
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: Roy Wood Junior's mother said, Carrie Champion talks too much

1130
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: on TV, plaining it wrong. She said, can you lesson?

1131
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: Can you lessen the amount that Carrie Champion?

1132
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 3: My mom said, why does Carrie talk me so much?

1133
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 3: In your arm?

1134
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: Mama shut me down like that dog boy?

1135
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 3: You smart too? She why she the only one showing

1136
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 3: that she's smart. It was a complimentary volume. She was

1137
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 3: complimentary to the volume in which you speak and wanting.

1138
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: The volume in which is Yes.

1139
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 3: It was a compliment. You refuse. I ain't telling you not.

1140
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was. First of all, I love your mother.

1141
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: Tell her thank you. I did receive that as a

1142
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: compliment but hilarious. I was like y'all Ory's mama said,

1143
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: I talked too much. I didn't even know that.

1144
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 3: I know you like this, just like I always don't

1145
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 3: see Ann being quiet. That's my mom's critique of me

1146
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 3: anytime on anything other than my show on the network.

1147
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 3: You too quiet. Well, I'm looking for the jokes. I'm

1148
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 3: not here to be Kerrie's smart. Those policies.

1149
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Jont I listen, I have I know, I have passion.

1150
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: I know just as much as you know. I just

1151
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: I just I have common sense, which people don't show.

1152
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 3: You and Keith boy can. I have nothing to add

1153
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 3: that's not true. I have nothing to zero.

1154
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: I hate that you do that to you. I hate

1155
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: that that is not true. That is not here, that

1156
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: is not true. My last thing before I get your

1157
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: out of here. Now that you are, you're working so much,

1158
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: you stay working a lot. What I've noticed about people

1159
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 1: like you and myself, depending on how you come about

1160
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: come up in this industry, your industry, my industry. We

1161
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: are very private people. We never reveal who we are,

1162
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: so sometimes it hinders people from saying I mean I'm

1163
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: talking about personal things too. It stops people from really

1164
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: knowing things like when people hate on me, they're like,

1165
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: you're so silly. I didn't know that. I'm like, God,

1166
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't show that. I guess I showed them the

1167
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: woman who speaks in large volume according to Roy's mother,

1168
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: So I would like to So I wonder, I wonder

1169
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: if you ever think that you should reveal more of

1170
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 1: who you are, perhaps the softer side, not necessarily softmen

1171
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: don't like that word, But just do you think you

1172
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: need to reveal more of who you are personally? Because

1173
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: you don't in jokes, be like I don't you don't

1174
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: you don't be like I went on a date the

1175
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: other day. No Jesus's sout, No.

1176
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 3: No, those against all protocols.

1177
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 2: No.

1178
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 3: Habitually where it started. I started standing up when I

1179
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 3: was nineteen and I performed for primarily grown ups thirty

1180
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 3: five plus. They didn't care about me. So my writing

1181
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 3: style was what does the room care about? So my

1182
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 3: style became more about what is happening to us collectively? Okay,

1183
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 3: So habitually that was the writing muscle that got worked

1184
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 3: okay for the first ten years of my career. And

1185
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: you are what you do and so that was where

1186
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 3: my curiosities. Lie, I will talk about myself or something

1187
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 3: that I'm going through if it connects to the greater

1188
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 3: conversation about the point I'm trying to make, Like I

1189
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: had I talked about I talked about getting arrested, Like

1190
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: I'll talk about that a couple times on the podcast. Sure,

1191
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 3: But all right, credit card fraud and probation. Unless I

1192
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 3: have something bigger to say about incarceration, I'm not just

1193
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 3: gonna tell you a story about the time. Man, I

1194
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 3: don't even. But then I was able to figure out

1195
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: a way to tell the story about being nice to

1196
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 3: a customer at Golden Corral. And this is how I

1197
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 3: ended up talking about this on stage. I did even

1198
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 3: being arrested. Was I was very nice to a customer.

1199
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 3: I've always tried to be nice to people. And the

1200
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 3: night I got arrested and I was in jail, a

1201
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 3: dude wanted to fight. Does not know me, but wants

1202
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 3: to fight because everybody elvers coming in. He knew his

1203
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: mom someone that got an arrested for a domestic against

1204
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: his mother, so he assumed whoever came in jail that

1205
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 3: day was the person who got arrested for the domestic

1206
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 3: So his objective was to beat out of anybody who

1207
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 3: got processed that day.

1208
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: Damn.

1209
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 3: So one by one he's making notes and he's going

1210
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 3: to fight you tomorrow, Fight you tomorrow, fight you tomorrow.

1211
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 3: As you're coming in, I don't know this man. And

1212
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 3: I come in and a guy comes up to him

1213
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 3: and taps my own shoulder.

1214
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: Go.

1215
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 3: Now, that one right there is cool. He used to

1216
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 3: hook me up with free food at Golden Corral.

1217
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Wow.

1218
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 3: And it was the customer that I'd been nice to.

1219
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

1220
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 3: So that's not a story about me getting arrested. That's

1221
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,720
Speaker 3: the story about hospitality and the idea of how far

1222
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,439
Speaker 3: stretching karma can go. Sometimes. So if I talk about

1223
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 3: still in credit cards, I was in college. I wanted

1224
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: just jeans. I wasn't no whole operation.

1225
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Get a critic card, got a fell in here, never

1226
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: had a fellon on the podcast.

1227
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 3: Could be president next.

1228
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:07,959
Speaker 1: I've never had a fellow.

1229
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 3: It'll be nice to me.

1230
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 1: Where you guys believe we have a felon.

1231
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 3: That'll be nice to me, because when I become president,

1232
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna shut down your podcast. I'm gonna call your enemy.

1233
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 3: You're not a patriot. You're not a patriot. This is

1234
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 3: very unpatriotic behavior of view. I thought you was a

1235
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:31,479
Speaker 3: freedom fighter. Everybody bout my crypto, so you know, I don't.

1236
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 3: I just think there's layers of yourself that just yeah,

1237
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 3: you have to really be fully enveloped in that to

1238
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 3: talk about yourself, like I talked about, Like even in

1239
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 3: this special, I talk about being invited to a sex

1240
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 3: party and I talk about a bad date that went on.

1241
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 3: But both are connected to the idea of connection. So

1242
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 3: which is you know, the next thing I'm working on.

1243
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 3: So I sold a book it's called The Man of

1244
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 3: Many Fathers. Even in that it's maybe like another foot

1245
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 3: into the water of personal I.

1246
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: Like when you talk about your dad. I like when

1247
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: you talk about that relationship.

1248
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 3: It's a weird relationship.

1249
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 1: But that to me resonates with so many people because

1250
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: the parent child relationship is so complicated and it's for everyone,

1251
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: for everyone, and and some of you are lucky. You

1252
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: want the parent lottery, you know, or the child lottery.

1253
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: But I just think it's special.

1254
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I don't know what that's going to

1255
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 3: be on stage, but it's interesting. My father died when

1256
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 3: I was sixteen. I learned a ton of lessons from

1257
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 3: other men after him. These are the stories of how

1258
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 3: I learned. I love it, okay, but that's I'm right

1259
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 3: net in case I die, So my son has a

1260
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 3: thing to read. I'm just being real, Like, that's so

1261
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 3: that he's not talking to other people trying to figure

1262
01:03:57,800 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 3: out who his father was, which I know he'll be

1263
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 3: able to figure out because I'll talk to nobody.

1264
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 1: But see, that is what I think. This next level,

1265
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: like this series that you have with Lonely Flowers, Like

1266
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,320
Speaker 1: I feel like the next series is how I unlonelyad myself,

1267
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: and that is going to be you revealing yourself to

1268
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: all of us. I'd like ten percent now, thank you.

1269
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 3: Does everyone deserve to know everything about us though?

1270
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: Nope, But you don't have to give them everything. Everybody

1271
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: can't be Beyonce you where you parse out stuff a truth.

1272
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: What may Beyonce who she is today is when we

1273
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: saw the elevator video, correct, we were like what and

1274
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: we all had her back, but we were also very

1275
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: disappointed in her response. But then we also appreciated her

1276
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: music because it brought us lemonade, like it brought us

1277
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 1: some of the best things ever.

1278
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because lemonade was introspective. I think most all forms

1279
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 3: of entertainment on her best albums either is it atro

1280
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 3: intro you know, like what I see versus what's happening

1281
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 3: in here? Only types of entertainment that exists. So I've

1282
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 3: been that for a long time and now only flowers

1283
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of this and then start talking about

1284
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 3: my dad and all of that, and it'll be that,

1285
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 3: and then I'll.

1286
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: Get into you're gonna tell people that we went on

1287
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: a date.

1288
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, tell them that. I'll tell them all the things.

1289
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 3: Ever now, dating life, I'll never talk about that in stage.

1290
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: No way.

1291
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm trying to why.

1292
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I think it would be fun. I think it'll be

1293
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: fun anybody. And then I'll let people know that you

1294
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: were undercover PEMP like that's the best part.

1295
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 3: That's also I don't talk about sex on stage like

1296
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 3: I just because you people know you're a pimp. I

1297
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 3: just don't like talking about that intimate parts.

1298
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: Interesting.

1299
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 3: Is this nothing that I can I don't have any

1300
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 3: I don't feel like I have anything educational to offer

1301
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 3: people on that, you know, But if I'm.

1302
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: Talking is there an educational sex joke that we need?

1303
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 3: But if I can talk about growing up in my

1304
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 3: next door neighbor, my literal next door neighbor, being in

1305
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 3: prison for murder, and how the guilt of that makes

1306
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 3: me feel because I also knew the victim, the person

1307
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 3: that he was convicted of killing. That's a far more

1308
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 3: interesting piece of myself to offer them.

1309
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: And how that made you, what that did to you,

1310
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: how it affected you.

1311
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 3: Right, and having conversations with his family about like that

1312
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 3: I put on stage because that's that's fair, that's more

1313
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 3: layer than I got cheated on.

1314
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Well, you're just so smart. You're just so smart because

1315
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,439
Speaker 1: that you're giving me this high level of these jokes.

1316
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: You're so smart. All This is my point and okay,

1317
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm wrapping up with this. All comedians are so intelligent,

1318
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: and that's why I feel like artists, comedians journalists, not

1319
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: all journalists. Like I feel like this is going to

1320
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: be a very special season. And being able to figure

1321
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: out how to adjust because it's halftime, we're in a second,

1322
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: we're the second half, right, we're coming out of half

1323
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 1: and the second half. How do we adjust to this

1324
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 1: new America, this new way that we move because it's

1325
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: not new, it's old, but we will have to figure

1326
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: this out. I think some fart jokes and some sex

1327
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: jokes will be helpful to Okay, and.

1328
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 3: You know what I'll start with. I'll start with the

1329
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 3: time I returned an engagement ring and the dude at

1330
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:28,439
Speaker 3: zails tried to talk me into taking her back.

1331
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Now, that's a good story, and you returned the well

1332
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: zales is the first part. I'm gonna judge you on

1333
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: the second part. That's a two month salary. That's America.

1334
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: That's America, thank you. That is what we're talking about.

1335
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: That is the America.

1336
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 3: How much is bread?

1337
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: You know? How much bread was?

1338
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:57,040

Speaker 1: Oh? What are you owing? Like?

1344
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 3: That was a lot of money back when nights and

1345
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,919
Speaker 3: weekends and start to nine p almost down. It's real

1346
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:15,439
Speaker 3: money back then. That's what I had.

1347
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: I am saying. It's sweet, it's endearing, it's endearing. It's endearing.
