Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Still haven't tripped yet. I feel like I'm doing something.
Speaker 8: You haven't gone to the desert yet. You gotta go
Speaker 8: to my mind or you've done it, like physically you
Speaker 8: have to go like trip somewhere that's trippable.
Speaker 4: I mean I've done like an island, but not.
Speaker 1: Yet, Like I'm still in the microducing phase of just
Speaker 1: like shallow water.
Speaker 4: And city tripping, Like you're not like stepping.
Speaker 1: I don't even do it. Yeah, I don't understand people
Speaker 1: that can do it and function outside.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, no, I'd be like, you're an outside person.
Speaker 4: I've done the whole sets. What are we outside sets?
Speaker 4: City tripping? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The first time I heard someone really use their creativity
Speaker 2: for it, Steve, were you with us when we were
Speaker 2: working on the What's Forel's movie with about the no
Speaker 2: the women.
Speaker 1: Who uh hidden figures? All right? When we're doing the
Speaker 1: hidden figures?
Speaker 2: So I heard the engineer tells the story about their
Speaker 2: clients that were coming in to do a session. I
Speaker 2: remember the engineer saying that it was like a they're
Speaker 2: gonna make a jazz record. Everyone is going to do
Speaker 2: streams first and see what happens to it. And at
Speaker 2: the time, you know, I was in my old state
Speaker 2: of mind, like you guys are doing drugs, but nah,
Speaker 2: it's that you like.
Speaker 8: What because I went through a pandemic believing in drugs
Speaker 8: and like believing and everything, and.
Speaker 4: Then I was like people have been lying.
Speaker 1: I was absolutely there. I was just past there.
Speaker 8: Yo. I didn't have smoking parents. No, my mother was like,
Speaker 8: I don't do none of that. And then I believed
Speaker 8: there and I was like, everything leads to crack from
Speaker 8: Boston Boston. All right, well, don disrespect I mean, relax.
Speaker 4: I didn't know which one to disrespect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there was a period where we're literally
Speaker 2: I think, and all right, I'm not throwing my mom
Speaker 2: under the bus.
Speaker 1: I know she's listening to this episode, but I'm no,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that.
Speaker 2: I think there's a generation of people who were hip
Speaker 2: in the sixties, he'd.
Speaker 1: Mistick in the seventies. And then something happened.
Speaker 2: I believe that Reagan's speech at the Republican National Committee,
Speaker 2: like whatever his version of Obama's yes we can't speech
Speaker 2: in two thousand and four, like he gave a speech
Speaker 2: in which really just people believed it, like the original
Speaker 2: make America great a great which literally that.
Speaker 1: Was the first time did that was one of his things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Trump stole that, no surprise here from him, make
Speaker 2: America great again. And it was just a period where,
Speaker 2: like in the eighties, people decided they wanted to attuned
Speaker 2: for their sins of the heat in the stick seventies
Speaker 2: in the sixties, so everyone became like born again Christian
Speaker 2: and then like Donna Summer started.
Speaker 4: Thinking about crack.
Speaker 8: That's what I was about to say, Like crack had
Speaker 8: to also be because that was just like watching people.
Speaker 8: I feel like Heroin was like people went to the war,
Speaker 8: you kind of knew what was going on, and they
Speaker 8: came back it was fucked up, right, But crack was
Speaker 8: just like watching a bus driver become a goblin in
Speaker 8: a week.
Speaker 6: And it was like, by the way, and Crack two,
Speaker 6: it took the mothers out the home. So it was like,
Speaker 6: you know, like there was always drugs in the community.
Speaker 6: Like even if your mom like might have party, did
Speaker 6: a little coke or whatever here and there, she was
Speaker 6: still coming home doing homework. She was still cooking for
Speaker 6: the kids. Crack came and it took the mother's out
Speaker 6: the home completely.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm a late binger, So I just
Speaker 2: watched the last episode of The snow Fall God and
Speaker 2: watching Franklin sink.
Speaker 1: Interior. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4: Interiorate phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was phenomenal right the way, now I've realized
Speaker 2: and okay, for those that didn't see it alert once
Speaker 2: they happened to walk past the set of you know what, right,
Speaker 2: seeing that, you know, that made it that even brought
Speaker 2: it more full circle for me. It's like, wow, this guy,
Speaker 2: like not even seven months ago was Franklin Saint like
Speaker 2: powerful whatever, you know, and now he's one of them.
Speaker 1: Now. I wondered, like, how many other people I've dismissed
Speaker 1: as like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, not knowing that that person Franklin.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it was alcohol, but you know,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 8: People were like yeah, people were definitely debating the alcohol
Speaker 8: or like did he do cracking? Like I was like, nah,
Speaker 8: I think that hit with the Wanda. It's like he
Speaker 8: I think that was a part of the psyche. Is
Speaker 8: like he still thought he was better than them than
Speaker 8: to do the Christ. Yeah, it's like, oh those are I'm.
Speaker 6: Not that, you know, like he still had a disillusion man,
Speaker 6: but you're you're an addict nonetheless, because I mean the
Speaker 6: way you begging your mama for money, the way you
Speaker 6: begging your homeiet.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yet that three million just let me.
Speaker 8: Get your money was the crack. That's what I was saying.
Speaker 8: Because when he went to Leon for that three million,
Speaker 8: it was very feeni. It was very feeni when you
Speaker 8: want the gun out, like give me that, or just
Speaker 8: the way he was sweating it and I'm gonna just
Speaker 8: get it and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Just go do this. Did I pay you back and
Speaker 1: make you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just be coming for you.
Speaker 8: That mirroring of like what a drug addiction in him
Speaker 8: and his addiction and like how they perfectly like that
Speaker 8: scene with his mom in the jail, but he's like
Speaker 8: raging and screaming. It's like, yo, that looked like pooky
Speaker 8: when they was putting them in a joint and new Jack,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So that said, yeah, it was just in the early eighties,
Speaker 2: you know, starting with Little Richard, starting with Donna Summers,
Speaker 2: like all these celebrities started being like born against Christians
Speaker 2: or whatever, and I guess when you're forty years.
Speaker 8: Old, it just stops sucking.
Speaker 1: Dick.
Speaker 8: He did started and he was like, don't even put
Speaker 8: that all my life, Like, well people will still trying
Speaker 8: to put that. He was like, no, don't bring that
Speaker 8: devil stuff over here.
Speaker 1: Right. Black people have always been super conservative and.
Speaker 8: They demonized weed because only black and brown people were
Speaker 8: doing it. Don't forget about Freddy's documentary The Grass Is
Speaker 8: Greener exactly.
Speaker 2: So that said, yeah, I was just taught that all
Speaker 2: drugs are bad all and then once the pandemic came,
Speaker 2: you know, I started microdosing, which was necessary because.
Speaker 6: Like or mis shrooms, shrooms, there was no there was
Speaker 6: no gateway drug went from tasty cakes.
Speaker 1: In my personal opinion, shrooms are like the Shirley Temple.
Speaker 1: That's a secondary temple reference you've made today.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying like, it's like I was waiting for, like,
Speaker 2: all right, when do I have been going backhead?
Speaker 1: And the only name that started happening was I started.
Speaker 1: I started crying, but I'm isn't sad, and I'm like feelings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I realized that as a person who you
Speaker 2: never saw me cry, like I've told this story. Even
Speaker 2: at Dyla's funeral, my most shameful moment was I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna let to see me cry. So I had to
Speaker 2: run out the funeral service, cry, come back in and
Speaker 2: kept running out coming he needs I did, like I've
Speaker 2: just been taught like that whole tony soprano. If you're
Speaker 2: a leader, never let anyone see you in a vulnerable
Speaker 2: moment because they can use that, like they get happy
Speaker 2: if I drop a drumstick.
Speaker 1: So what's going to happen if I start crying?
Speaker 4: Like did you we know that? Amir that did you
Speaker 4: was running from crying in front of him.
Speaker 1: He just found out now, but he just listened to
Speaker 1: question of supreme HW.
Speaker 8: So your first drug is pandemic?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean there was the time I accident so
Speaker 1: in Amsterdam.
Speaker 2: I didn't know about weed brownies, so you know, I
Speaker 2: was like, I'll do on you guys and see what
Speaker 2: it's like here. The first night there and I sat
Speaker 2: at the bar and I saw Hope into brownies and
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, I'll take that, and I took
Speaker 2: three without knowing, and immediately the bar guy was like, wait, whoa,
Speaker 2: you just took three of those. I was like yeah,
Speaker 2: what's oh no? And I was like, oh what And
Speaker 2: then we found out later you come to me chasing
Speaker 2: like Keith sweat and silk all through the streets of.
Speaker 1: That sort. But micro brownie okay, all right, but that
Speaker 1: was it and yeah, so true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say that contact between this contact.
Speaker 1: Right, I did it.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I did a very small micro doce
Speaker 2: of it, and I realized like I was just in
Speaker 2: a great space where I felt.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, why yeah during the pandemic. So
Speaker 1: Sam and Fante did Brooklyn Troo. No, that was great.
Speaker 1: We I did them. We was in the dressing room.
Speaker 1: She had them.
Speaker 6: I was like, a fucking I'm doing So I did
Speaker 6: them and afterwards we went You went to the city
Speaker 6: you were going to hang it?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 4: I went to the stand.
Speaker 1: I think stand you were going to. You went to
Speaker 1: the day I went to the Daylight party. So I
Speaker 1: went to that. Shit was fire. I went to the
Speaker 1: Daylight Party shout my girl Terror and my brother don Will.
Speaker 6: He was spinning and there was a light like wall
Speaker 6: behind them and so I was just watching the lights
Speaker 6: like kind of blinking ship how long?
Speaker 1: And they was playing much that ship sounded a maze.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: I was so happy. You text me.
Speaker 8: You were like these they're nice.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, it was. It was a
Speaker 1: cool little rod.
Speaker 8: I'm so happy what I get people like good high
Speaker 8: and they're like happy and yeah.
Speaker 1: It was cool.
Speaker 6: I mean because drugs for me, I mean I always
Speaker 6: grew up around drugs, and I think the their stuff
Speaker 6: was like looking back on that ship.
Speaker 1: Like, people don't understand just how insane that was.
Speaker 6: They had police officers with loaded weapons coming to talk
Speaker 6: to fucking third graders about drugs.
Speaker 4: Like like get the show, you crack that thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: post officer friendly, like I mean.
Speaker 6: They were, you know, cool, but yeah, but it was
Speaker 6: still police officers with fucking weapons and you're a kid.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was some bullshit. But but I'm definitely
Speaker 1: pro drugs. Now. Oh yeah, well Monty reading rooms. Now
Speaker 1: that other ship is that of a ship?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, one day, I'll try. I would like to see
Speaker 1: what else you know before.
Speaker 4: Molly thinke you do drugs?
Speaker 1: It's not so evidence. Here's the change. He's gonna go
Speaker 1: from nineteen jobs like three none, no, no, no, for real,
Speaker 1: Here's here's the scale.
Speaker 2: There's mushrooms, there's weed, Molly's in the family, there's ayahuaska.
Speaker 2: But again it's it's I don't do it for party purposes,
Speaker 2: like yo, let me get fucked up and you know,
Speaker 2: go to the club.
Speaker 1: No I do. When I met at Hate, I do
Speaker 1: it like as.
Speaker 2: Really to get in touch with my emotions, because you know,
Speaker 2: it's if you don't express your emotions. Yeah, well again
Speaker 2: again it's been demonized so much that we think that
Speaker 2: and also people use it. It would be like me
Speaker 2: going to like a church and to get fucked up
Speaker 2: or on communion wine, Like you're not supposed to. That's
Speaker 2: not the purpose of taking communion wine.
Speaker 6: It helps to I think when it comes to drugs
Speaker 6: outside of weed, but you definitely helps me. Have black
Speaker 6: people like to introduce that to you and like Sam, yeah, Sam,
Speaker 6: it's like because if they introduced I would, But I
Speaker 6: get what you're saying.
Speaker 8: I feel like like a white high and black first
Speaker 8: Molly was with my black lawyer friend and I was like,
Speaker 8: you're a lawyer. You go to work every day about
Speaker 8: your life. Your ship is together.
Speaker 1: Hold on if I gave you drugs as a white
Speaker 1: high and a black high.
Speaker 2: Yes, they're talking about have you not heard them Richard
Speaker 2: pryor acid sketch bro Like.
Speaker 6: I went to high school with these motherfuckers, you know
Speaker 6: what I'm saying. So I saw like these motherfuckers like
Speaker 6: the ship that we would do would be like go
Speaker 6: to the store. There was a store called Gusses talking.
Speaker 8: About white people and they're not these motherfuckers like aliens,
Speaker 8: Like it's just.
Speaker 1: Different and I just had to see that. You know.
Speaker 1: For us, it was like we would go to the store.
Speaker 6: There was a store called Gusses where you could they
Speaker 6: would sell you could get you know, liquor or wine whatever.
Speaker 6: So we go and get our little Boonze farm and
Speaker 6: some bullshit. Right, we was on boons Farm. The white
Speaker 6: boys I played football with. These niggas was on acid
Speaker 6: like in high school.
Speaker 1: I mean like sixteen, they parents leaving shit. These niggas
Speaker 1: are any drugs chemically, I will say this, I don't
Speaker 1: trust that shit.
Speaker 8: All the wyomings that I had that I did drugs with,
Speaker 8: I super trusted because like not for nothing, White people
Speaker 8: like be knowing like what the shit does. Like He's like, no,
Speaker 8: this goes to that part of your nervous system. And
Speaker 8: what it does is it release is a chemical. It's
Speaker 8: the same chemical that releases with you pee. All right, man,
Speaker 8: you got a lot of information, brother.
Speaker 1: All right. So there is a documentary called Fantastic Fun Guy. Okay,
Speaker 1: We're really fantastic. No no, I highly recommend it.
Speaker 2: It's a documentary that came out in twenty nineteen, and
Speaker 2: it literally explains the benefits of mushrooms, not just hallucinogenic mushrooms,
Speaker 2: but the purposes of mushrooms on earth, which literally nature
Speaker 2: takes in mushrooms, like when you when mice or animals
Speaker 2: decomposed in the parks or whatever, it's mushrooms that even
Speaker 2: mushrooms growing inside the body once uh, decomposing process.
Speaker 1: Happens when you mushrooms about bodies. Yes, like literally watch
Speaker 1: Fantastic from Guy It's it's.
Speaker 4: I don't want to because now I'm gonna think the
Speaker 4: Last of Us is real.
Speaker 1: It could be. I mean, no spoilers. I didn't finish
Speaker 1: the last three episodes.
Speaker 4: I mean nothing Snowfall and that way before Snowfall mirror.
Speaker 1: So sim talk about comedy, say something funny.
Speaker 2: I'm very proud of you. I know we planned well.
Speaker 2: You guys had the first q OLS play date well
Speaker 2: minus being a bill to uh tomorrow. Well right, I
Speaker 2: can't do it tomorrow because I have work. Right, But
Speaker 2: you know, one day, unless you're tripping balls, you might
Speaker 2: just stand on.
Speaker 1: Which would be awesome to call in the work tripping balls. No,
Speaker 1: we should actually do it the right way one day
Speaker 1: and do a retreat. Do a retreat. You should work
Speaker 1: your way up to that. I did.
Speaker 4: I can't just do the mushrooms right now.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I've been doing them. They just have
Speaker 8: a high tolerance. So you have to feel what mushrooms does?
Speaker 7: I think before you can weed and sit on the
Speaker 7: side because I got kids, Man, I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't. What what's your fear of? First of all,
Speaker 1: I did a lot of drugs in college. They're great,
Speaker 1: don't get I don't know.
Speaker 7: I just feel like a lot of not let a
Speaker 7: lot of people don't depend on all of us, but
Speaker 7: like I have kids that depend on me. It feels
Speaker 7: like a whole lot of responsibility and that just fucks
Speaker 7: me up, and I think it.
Speaker 1: Would suck up the You don't want to be out
Speaker 1: of control.
Speaker 7: I mean I love being we've met, I love being
Speaker 7: out of control, but like, but like that kind of
Speaker 7: out of control where I literally can't control it.
Speaker 1: I don't think.

Speaker 2: I would come back. I think I would, just at
Speaker 2: this time, you'll feel different about your family.
Speaker 4: Freak out.
Speaker 1: They're ten and twelve. You get some phone calls a weekend.
Speaker 8: It's a weekend because you said you could have locked
Speaker 8: something in your brain and then you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 8: I actually hate these nagors.
Speaker 1: What I need already through that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I assure you that once the first thing that
Speaker 2: you do when you start, because the thing is is
Speaker 2: that I've conveniently managed to avoid issues, people, things in
Speaker 2: my life as a means to just survive. And once
Speaker 2: this forces you, now I feel like I'm damon Wayne's
Speaker 2: and uh living colors.
Speaker 1: Wait every day.
Speaker 2: I don't want to sound like Oswald Bates, but the
Speaker 2: first thing that you will probably reassess and reevaluate are
Speaker 2: your relationships. Now, for me, I realized, I really no,
Speaker 2: I realized in twenty twenty don't need that. Yes you do,
Speaker 2: come on, man, I got the numbers. I'm good about
Speaker 2: my relationship. But the thing is is that ship we're
Speaker 2: so I think one of the biggest fears we have
Speaker 2: in life is advocating for ourselves.
Speaker 1: Just to keep it on. This morning, I was a
Speaker 1: half hour late to this podcast.
Speaker 2: Mainly because I was literally on the phone trying to
Speaker 2: manage expectations of certain industry professionals that felt left out.
Speaker 2: But those aren't your the process, right, But previously I
Speaker 2: would have been crying to Carol Lewis and calling up
Speaker 2: my manager like, hey, can we include d da da
Speaker 2: in this project?
Speaker 1: And this project me right? And the thing is is
Speaker 1: that no, no.
Speaker 2: Well, I also say, like my favorite line from Ringming
Speaker 2: Ring Hahi is macOS Yogi pass is doing the produced right,
Speaker 2: I mean even passed the buck to someone else. But
Speaker 2: once you get to a place where you decide you
Speaker 2: don't want to manage other people's expectations of your life,
Speaker 2: and that's like, well, well, da Da say about me,
Speaker 2: think about me? DA is gonna not like me because
Speaker 2: I did this. I don't want to disappoint blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: And sometimes the people that you have to do that
Speaker 2: with might be your own flesh and blood, and that's
Speaker 2: a hard Like advocating for yourself is such a hard
Speaker 2: place to get to you.
Speaker 1: Let's about therapy for Bill. I like it, though, let's
Speaker 1: get it to it, Let's fuck it.
Speaker 2: The main reason why I stress this is because if
Speaker 2: I don't realize it, my body already knows it.
Speaker 1: And like, imagine carrying.
Speaker 2: Michelin Man levels of water in your body swollen like
Speaker 2: elephant man level. Like technically, lymphidema is like kind of
Speaker 2: a cousin to elephant Titus. So all those tears, I
Speaker 2: never cried all those I mean I joked about the
Speaker 2: Hip Hop fifty. The first place I went to when
Speaker 2: I landed from Hip Hop fifty and the Grammys. I
Speaker 2: had to go to Dennis because my tooth fell out.
Speaker 2: Why because I let seven weeks go by without me.
Speaker 2: You know, people pound how has more versus than me? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: no how And all that anxiety of me just taking
Speaker 2: it in and not like in freezing, it caused my
Speaker 2: body just go. My tooth fell out. So I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: the best thing you can do for your kids, Leo
Speaker 2: Bill is really like me. The best thing that you
Speaker 2: can do for your children is.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 2: No, the best thing you can do for your children
Speaker 2: is to ensure that you will be here to the
Speaker 2: age of ninety to see your great great great grandchildren.
Speaker 2: Is to literally be here in the best mental health,
Speaker 2: in the mental state.
Speaker 1: That you can be in. And no, we just got
Speaker 1: I assure you no one has a scarier life than
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: And the fact that most of this nice guy in
Speaker 2: this whatever quest love nice guy shit is really a
Speaker 2: mask of like the nicer person is, I assure you
Speaker 2: they got more anger pain.
Speaker 1: It's like Nate from It's like Nate from Ted Lesson.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yo, I love you for saying that. Yo, for real,
Speaker 2: Like that's what you don't want to be that guy?
Speaker 2: So let's talk about comedy. Yeah, this is a hilarious conversation.
Speaker 2: This is I'll do drugs. Fuck it, let's do it.
Speaker 1: I just want to do today because I have to drive.
Speaker 1: That's responsible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a week and I do want to do it.
Speaker 4: But we can retreat though, nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we should.
Speaker 9: This isn't a little frustrating though, to go to that
Speaker 9: world and then see it and then and then knowing
Speaker 9: you have to come back and live most of your
Speaker 9: life in this but.
Speaker 1: You come back and change person. Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think the idea is that you go to this
Speaker 6: other place and the lessons you learned there able to apply.
Speaker 2: And I only recommend this for people that are actively
Speaker 2: trying to improve their life. You know, I wasn't the
Speaker 2: world's best communicator. I was not the most emotional person
Speaker 2: on earth, like I was a technical person.
Speaker 4: Progress. We all work in progress.
Speaker 1: We've been patient with you.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, that was beautiful.
Speaker 7: Guys the circle than you Yep, time that Samonte drugs
Speaker 7: and now Bill's got to do hiahuasca.
Speaker 1: All right, Cool? It was a unit.
Speaker 2: So this is what I always wanted to know, Sam,
Speaker 2: because you know, I came to thirty Rock University like
Speaker 2: in late two thousand and eight, early two thousand and nine,
Speaker 2: I already had my preconceived notions of what it was
Speaker 2: and being as though, Okay, for some I can't explain why,
Speaker 2: but I'm literally going through every episode of SNL. So
Speaker 2: right now I'm in nineteen eighty three. Oh, I'm literally
Speaker 2: watching the evolution of the show. Yeah, and of course
Speaker 2: I'm asking myself, like, yo, how did well one? How
Speaker 2: do they get away with this? But just like the
Speaker 2: mind state of what comedy was back then, I'll say
Speaker 2: that thanks to our benevolent leader, Steve Higgins. Steve Higgins
Speaker 2: for those that don't know, Yeah, he's the sidekick on
Speaker 2: the Tonight Show, but Steve Higgins runs SNL. He's the
Speaker 2: main producer. So he's allowed me all the time to
Speaker 2: just go to the show. I like going to the
Speaker 2: show just to see how it runs, yeah, because that's
Speaker 2: fascinated to me, but to also watch its evolution to
Speaker 2: where it is now, I was like, Wow, like someone's
Speaker 2: really in the room now saying like, no, we need
Speaker 2: to be seen in those sort of things, And I,
Speaker 2: you know, attribute can you tell me how because you're
Speaker 2: definitely part of that parent dime shift, Like what were
Speaker 2: your expectations coming into that building? And are you allowed
Speaker 2: to talk about because I also know that I've talked
Speaker 2: to many a person that had disdain or that sort
Speaker 2: of thing, like about changing the cauturally.
Speaker 8: Yeah, none, like I can. I'll be very honest about it.
Speaker 4: But I really didn't have any.
Speaker 8: Sometimes I feel like the people who did are like cool,
Speaker 8: But I did it. I really did because what I
Speaker 8: came in and my expectations were just like I didn't
Speaker 8: really have any Like I knew. I never I had
Speaker 8: never written on a show ever. I had never been
Speaker 8: in a writer's room. This is my first writer's room yet.
Speaker 1: Who recommended you?
Speaker 8: I went through the audition process, but I believe it
Speaker 8: was Doyle who saw me at just for laughs, Okay,
Speaker 8: I didn't really like I was going in like I
Speaker 8: don't know what the fuck I'm doing, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean. I'm like, I just hope I survived this
Speaker 8: thing because I have no idea that I've never written
Speaker 8: this sketch, you know what I mean. So I'm just like,
Speaker 8: all right, let me just get in here and like
Speaker 8: try not to drown, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 8: I didn't even have any like I'm gonna be like
Speaker 8: getting sketches on by this time and I'm gonna be
Speaker 8: like saving the show, and like I know, I was
Speaker 8: just like I hope I can become like competent at
Speaker 8: this thing before I get fired.
Speaker 2: You know, does the average rider have expectations like I
Speaker 2: gotta create the next cowbll sketch or the.
Speaker 8: Probably I would imagine why why wouldn't you like be
Speaker 8: ambitious in that way if like that's like you're a
Speaker 8: fucking jam, you know what I mean? Cause I know,
Speaker 8: like when I got into a stand up, I was like,
Speaker 8: I want to have an hour special, you know what
Speaker 8: I'm saying. So like I think for sure, I just
Speaker 8: I wasn't granted like having those thoughts for that space
Speaker 8: because it was really foreign to me and everywhere.
Speaker 4: What did they tell you about?
Speaker 1: Why you? Why you?
Speaker 4: What did they tell you about you? Just thought I
Speaker 4: was funny?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: I know if they told you about a certain bit
Speaker 4: that date that you did they were like, okay, we
Speaker 4: need did you.
Speaker 1: Have a package or did you actually audition to be
Speaker 1: the audition to be on the show? And then what
Speaker 1: was that like?
Speaker 2: Because I know Jimmy's version of it where Lauren doesn't
Speaker 2: laugh and there's only three people in the room and yes,
Speaker 2: so tell me about.
Speaker 1: Walk me for your audition process.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, you just like you go and you're like
Speaker 8: waiting and it's like you're just down there on ah
Speaker 8: and it's weird. So I kind of dipped out because
Speaker 8: it was weird, and I was just like yeah, kind
Speaker 8: of like text me a little bit before my time.
Speaker 1: I was like, are you in the room with other
Speaker 1: people like waiting?
Speaker 8: No, they have you in your own like you're yeah,
Speaker 8: you're taking up a dressing room. So you just ent
Speaker 8: it by yourself. But you can like hear through the
Speaker 8: walls of the people auditioning, like yeah, you can just
Speaker 8: feel the.
Speaker 4: Stress, you know.
Speaker 8: You're just like it's so tense to here. So I
Speaker 8: was like, I'm a dip So I was like I
Speaker 8: can't perform well this way because I was just doing
Speaker 8: like a stand up set because I didn't have characters
Speaker 8: or anything like that either. So like this really this
Speaker 8: world is not on my map of things, not on
Speaker 8: the characters. I don't write scared, it's like, you know.
Speaker 8: So I left and then the person was there. She
Speaker 8: called me, she texted me. She was like, it's about
Speaker 8: to be your turn. So I just came down like
Speaker 8: regular comedy club night and just kind of.
Speaker 1: Just curious when you left, what's the thing that you
Speaker 1: did until until you got the test?
Speaker 4: Sam Ship.
Speaker 8: I went to a bar in thirty Rocks, the bar downstairs, right,
Speaker 8: and I just sat there and just shot with these
Speaker 8: I was sticking it with them. They were nice. They
Speaker 8: prayed over me.
Speaker 4: Oh wow.
Speaker 8: It was kind of like right, they were like not
Speaker 8: like I haven't but just like they gave me with
Speaker 8: the blessings real quick.
Speaker 4: That worked.
Speaker 1: It worked.
Speaker 4: It was nice.
Speaker 8: So when you got in, when you I'm curious when
Speaker 8: you get into this time, Yes, of course I was
Speaker 8: nervous for sure.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 4: It's a nerve wracking situation. And when you get in,
Speaker 4: is it somebody to kind of walk you through, like
Speaker 4: what's your first day?
Speaker 8: Like, oh, the first day? So though after this, no,
Speaker 8: you just go to go to work.
Speaker 1: You just go to work.
Speaker 4: You just go to work. They write something right, sound
Speaker 4: funny and we'll let you know if it makes it.
Speaker 1: How many people were in the room during the audition process.
Speaker 4: It's just it's Lauren.
Speaker 8: It was like Lauren callin. I want to say Tucker,
Speaker 8: I want to say Kim word, and I want to.
Speaker 4: Say and Higgins, right, and Higgins.
Speaker 8: But they were like sitting in a row, like in
Speaker 8: the back, and it's like kind of dark in there.
Speaker 4: The studio is not like fully little.
Speaker 1: How daring was it to do comedy without having.
Speaker 8: A very dude right, very like sloop and you just
Speaker 8: want to stay by yourself, just like I would do
Speaker 8: my act. But at that point, it's like, it is
Speaker 8: what the fuck it is?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, ain't know really reversing
Speaker 4: the thing. So I was like whatever they.
Speaker 1: Wanted, you are they looking for someone that could be
Speaker 1: confident in the face of tension.
Speaker 8: I don't know that that's always what they're looking for.
Speaker 8: I think they're just looking for different shit, you know
Speaker 8: what I mean. I think it all comes together and
Speaker 8: makes the thing. And I think it's everybody coming from
Speaker 8: different walks of life, people coming from just you know,
Speaker 8: different parts of comedy coming into comedy different way all
Speaker 8: of that.
Speaker 2: I think it's just like now before I ask about
Speaker 2: what happens after you get the green light? How many
Speaker 2: years before SNL was your comedy journey, So at.
Speaker 8: That point it had to be about to be eleven,
Speaker 8: I think. So at that point had to be about
Speaker 8: five or six or so.
Speaker 1: So like two thousand and seven, two thousand and.
Speaker 8: Eight, did I start comedy? Yeah, two thousand and.
Speaker 2: Thirteen, okay, so twenty twelve, At what point are you like, okay,
Speaker 2: people say I'm funny until you first went on a
Speaker 2: stage to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh man, I mean maybe like years, like eight years.
Speaker 1: You know, like people can you talk about the process of.
Speaker 2: Feels from where you were in life until like I'm
Speaker 2: going to go on that stage and day job.
Speaker 4: And talk yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 8: I feel it's like, you know, I feel like high
Speaker 8: school people thought it was funny. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 8: you really start to understand yourself around that time. I
Speaker 8: have at least certain parts of yourself. And I thought
Speaker 8: about it, and then like when I was twenty, I
Speaker 8: did it once, I got I did I did a show.
Speaker 8: I did a show at Dick's Comedy Fault, and I
Speaker 8: remember getting off stage, and I was like, this feels
Speaker 8: fucking icky. It just didn't I don't know how explained.
Speaker 8: It just felt incorrect. I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 8: that's not how that was supposed to. The Boston and
Speaker 8: the oh you're from Oh guys from Boston.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I've heard Patricia O'Neil's stories about Boston.
Speaker 8: Ye're so Boston. And it was under underneath Emmerson College, Okay.
Speaker 4: And then I got sick and I.
Speaker 8: Was in the hospital for a while, and then after
Speaker 8: I went down to Atlanta, and I kind of just
Speaker 8: started doing other shit, you know, like I was doing
Speaker 8: a lot of bullshit jobs, a lot of day jobs.
Speaker 4: And then I was asking you, what's the Sam J
Speaker 4: day job?
Speaker 1: What was you doing?
Speaker 4: Oh my god?
Speaker 8: I worked for the Iris, like in the mail room.
Speaker 8: I worked.
Speaker 4: You know, if you had a communications job on the phone.
Speaker 8: I worked. Yeah, I worked, playing it just like calls.
Speaker 8: I worked at this office building. I forget what they did,
Speaker 8: but I worked at this office building and doing office ship.
Speaker 8: I worked at Starbucks. I worked at Starbucks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have mad jobs.
Speaker 1: So for you, was there any fear of the first
Speaker 1: time you stepped on stage too?
Speaker 8: I feel like, yeah, the natural fear of like what
Speaker 8: if it I don't know, what if it just I
Speaker 8: don't know, you don't connect with it's why you thought
Speaker 8: you would or something, which I think is how it
Speaker 8: felt the first time when I'm like, it felt icky.
Speaker 2: It just was I don't know, I'm asking one in
Speaker 2: these this therapeutic way. One because world quasi tripping right now,
Speaker 2: but mostly because you hear that laugh and he ain't.
Speaker 2: Mostly because I always see comedy almost neck and neck
Speaker 2: with songwriting. Except with songwriting, I think the rejection isn't
Speaker 2: as hard as it is, like you have to learn
Speaker 2: the lesson via silence, yeah, failure.
Speaker 1: That sort of thing.
Speaker 2: And the only person I know that actually reveled in
Speaker 2: bombing was Norm McDonald, Like the way that he just
Speaker 2: embraced like it's almost like I want Norm McDonald to
Speaker 2: not be funny Kevin.
Speaker 8: Kevin Barnett was like the r if. Kevin Barnett, really
Speaker 8: Kevin Barnett was like that of our diner, Like he
Speaker 8: loved to bom Kevin. It was fun watching Kevin bomb.
Speaker 4: It was a great time.
Speaker 1: Was it for him?
Speaker 6: Was it just something I guess you think it was
Speaker 6: like therapeutic, just kind of like facing your worst fears
Speaker 6: of comic, just kind of leaning into it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think also a little bit like, man,
Speaker 8: this is who I am, Like, I can't really change that.
Speaker 4: This is really how I think about these things.
Speaker 8: This is actually with my break Like, so if you
Speaker 8: just don't like it, it's like you just don't like me,
Speaker 8: and I yeah, I don't know, I can't really do
Speaker 8: much about that. Oh we didn't ask you that, Sam,
Speaker 8: who you who? You kind of came up listening to
Speaker 8: comedy wise, like who were your influence? If there if
Speaker 8: there is such a thing as comedians and saying influences
Speaker 8: and that's bad, I know, but a little bit of everybody.
Speaker 8: I just really liked comedy. I was like consuming it
Speaker 8: in all forms, you know, like watching Darya, watching Views
Speaker 8: and Buthead, watching the State, watching Kids in the Hall,
Speaker 8: watching Mister Show. Yeah, my friend Patrick put me onto
Speaker 8: this to show, and I was like, I'm into this,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need the State to have a proper box
Speaker 1: set of they ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was and like the fact that they can't
Speaker 2: do it because of all the song clearances that they
Speaker 2: did on their initial run. But I am also curious
Speaker 2: to see how black comedians that aren't under the direct
Speaker 2: umbrella of Prior, Murphy or Rock like for you know,
Speaker 2: for a lot of nineties comedians and the eighties comedians
Speaker 2: and seventies comedians, there's like one north Star, Like every
Speaker 2: eighties comedians like Richard Price, for every seventies comedian Bill
Speaker 2: Cosby was a north Star. Yeah, for every eighties it
Speaker 2: was Richard pryor for every nineties it was Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1: Early arts was like kind of Chris Rock.
Speaker 2: But then in seeing how comedy was post I'll say
Speaker 2: social media, especially with a what was the original TikTok
Speaker 2: the seven seconds thing? Yeah, like Vine, Like I would
Speaker 2: talk to those Vine stars that were hilarious to me
Speaker 2: for those seven seconds. Yeah, and then you know, I
Speaker 2: mean there's like King like all this guys to them
Speaker 2: Prior and Rock and Murphy, You're like, oh, like they
Speaker 2: respect him or whatever, but their level of comedy, Like,
Speaker 2: I think there was a level of Black generation comedy
Speaker 2: like post two thousand and four, two thousand and five
Speaker 2: that wasn't directly influenced from those three north Stars.
Speaker 8: So for like women come into conversation, it's always those
Speaker 8: male north stars. Nobody ever gives moms mably or somebody else.
Speaker 1: God. Yeah, well, I don't think we're big on history
Speaker 1: in general, like it's with rappers, and I.
Speaker 8: Mean that's true, you know what I mean that part
Speaker 8: of it is, like I can honestly say, like I
Speaker 8: learned about Mom's baby after the fact.
Speaker 4: What I grew up. My household was like a red
Speaker 4: Fox Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1: You were allowed to listen to those records because I
Speaker 1: had to sneak to listen.
Speaker 8: I wasn't allowed to do that stuff by myself. But
Speaker 8: if I happened to be in a room and it
Speaker 8: was on, they weren't like get her.
Speaker 1: So you didn't grow up in a fire and brimstone house.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no no no. My mother
Speaker 4: was very much like she She was very open.
Speaker 8: I did like about she like that, Like she started
Speaker 8: to say, like religion is the opiate of the masses
Speaker 8: and stuff like that to me.
Speaker 2: So see that like raised by a black parent in
Speaker 2: the nineteen hundreds, that's not cloaked and trapped by rights
Speaker 2: because a lot of us make our decisions based on
Speaker 2: like brimstone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, what is that?
Speaker 8: Like, I don't know I guess I felt like I
Speaker 8: was taught a lot to think for myself. It was
Speaker 8: always it was big at my households, big on like thinking.
Speaker 4: For yourself, and like you didn't get no weapons. I
Speaker 4: didn't get a lot of weapons. Now talk to.
Speaker 1: Actually able to express yourself, but just like you know, I.
Speaker 8: Very much like what do you think? And like if
Speaker 8: I would just like divert to a question, it was
Speaker 8: like did you think about that? Did you try to
Speaker 8: go your own answer?
Speaker 1: So I was just that's amazing that.
Speaker 8: But also you know that's it has its own ship
Speaker 8: with it because sometimes you're just like, I'm a kid man,
Speaker 8: just tell.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah, right, just give me. Well.
Speaker 8: She would not to say there were no lines, because
Speaker 8: for sure there were, but just sometimes you just didn't
Speaker 8: want to think, you know what I.
Speaker 2: Mean, you just not to discredit black parents out there,
Speaker 2: because I know a lot of them made their decision
Speaker 2: on our our survival fight or flight. I was told
Speaker 2: that parenting is sort of like you get three hundred
Speaker 2: page manual IQ manual five minutes before you know hand
Speaker 2: and you don't know what you're doing, like you learn.
Speaker 1: As you go.
Speaker 8: And my mother's was an extreme reaction to my grandmother's.
Speaker 8: He used to be the ship exactly, you know what
Speaker 8: I mean. So I think my mother like was just
Speaker 8: like I'm just going to try to do something else,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, like because I didn't like
Speaker 8: that and that it didn't.
Speaker 4: Quite work for me or whatever.
Speaker 1: Think.
Speaker 4: And I'm also her third child, so I don't know
Speaker 4: what she was like with my brothers and stuff. They
Speaker 4: don't tell you.
Speaker 1: They don't tell you.
Speaker 4: Damn you got it easy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I feel like every younger sibling here's that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's there.
Speaker 6: There was a there was an archives in the day
Speaker 6: and they said, like, no siblings, No two siblings have
Speaker 6: the same parents, right, like, because you're they're at a
Speaker 6: different stage.
Speaker 1: Your parents are different people.
Speaker 8: So she could have easily just saw how she fucked
Speaker 8: up on my bus exactly, like, man, all right, we're
Speaker 8: not gonna do that, you know, We're gonna try some whatever.
Speaker 4: What does your mother do?
Speaker 8: Did you mention that she was a physical uh therapist?
Speaker 1: And your pops what was he around?
Speaker 8: Was he? My dad died when I was young? Oh man, Yeah,
Speaker 8: but I was like a baby. I had a stepfather though,
Speaker 8: and he worked in computers. He used to just like
Speaker 8: work on servers for like U mass.
Speaker 4: Ahead of his time.
Speaker 1: Okay, when you were younger, Like, what was your aspiration?
Speaker 4: I don't really think I have one.
Speaker 8: At some point I confessed myself I was gonna do
Speaker 8: political stuff or I wanted to be.
Speaker 4: Like a lawyer.
Speaker 1: You're doing political stuff.
Speaker 8: So that was like kind of like I was like,
Speaker 8: I'm going to get into politics a lot, and I
Speaker 8: would like shadow politicians and participate in like my government
Speaker 8: and Mark trial and ship like that, because I thought
Speaker 8: that's what I was going.
Speaker 4: To Mark Charles were real.
Speaker 1: Damn. I'm sorry. I only know because of the arrested development.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I love when other black people get that
Speaker 1: that reference.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wanted to ask you about I was jumping ahead,
Speaker 6: was talking about it outside.
Speaker 1: Pause. Oh yeah, what's what's going on? What was that experience?
Speaker 1: Like you told me it's not coming back.
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 8: You did have your own show and that's a big deal. Yeah,
Speaker 8: so yeah, I did two seasons of it.
Speaker 4: It was fun.
Speaker 8: I got to rock out with my friends and it
Speaker 8: was yeah, I got to you know, Jack and I
Speaker 8: was part of that show. Was like Wox was part
Speaker 8: of that show, Like Sirman was a part of that show.
Speaker 8: It was like my homie homies, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: So it was so fun to make a show with
Speaker 8: my friends. It was so fun to make a sure
Speaker 8: I believed in and like that was like true to
Speaker 8: some ship that I wanted to talk about and I
Speaker 8: wanted to say.
Speaker 1: And I love that show. I mean I would text
Speaker 1: you and stuff like no that.
Speaker 8: It was a really cool thing to do, and I'm
Speaker 8: glad I got to do it with HBO A.
Speaker 1: Average time in your opinion, But I also know how.
Speaker 8: I don't want to be one of those people.
Speaker 1: Well all right, I don't want to make it awkward.
Speaker 8: No, well it's a middle in there though, though right,
Speaker 8: it's like a whole experience and like you did some
Speaker 8: dope ship, so it's I think parts of it were
Speaker 8: it's time. I think parts of it were like hella nuanced.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean very much. So it was
Speaker 1: just like it wasn't a show and then you get it.
Speaker 4: You got it if you don't. But I like, like
Speaker 4: I grew up and I love the Liquid TV and
Speaker 4: I love ship like.
Speaker 1: That, you know, like it didn't tell you how to feel.
Speaker 1: I think that was the thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am like that type of person not hearing
Speaker 6: your childhood talk about how your you know, your mom
Speaker 6: would you know, challenge you on things and like encourage
Speaker 6: you to talk. Like it makes sense that that's kind
Speaker 6: of how you comedy is in that way as well.
Speaker 6: It's not, it's not preachy. It's just there's just another
Speaker 6: way to think about something.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because no one knows the fuck they're
Speaker 8: talking about.
Speaker 4: Man for a minute.
Speaker 2: So when you when you create these project and this
Speaker 2: can also apply to bust down as well, when you
Speaker 2: create projects that wind up being a sacrificial lamb on
Speaker 2: the altar of mainstream right exactly, then how do you
Speaker 2: not take it personally? Like for you is a strug
Speaker 2: thing like okay, do you warn it?
Speaker 8: And then yeah, But also it was so complete honest
Speaker 8: on like like the last episode I did my mother's funeral,
Speaker 8: it was such a complete journey that I was like, Okay,
Speaker 8: a whole story got told here and that's nice, you know,
Speaker 8: and like I felt good about it being that and
Speaker 8: maybe some of it is like uh, like how I
Speaker 8: look at music where it's like yo, you get put
Speaker 8: out an album and you're like, here's the whole story.
Speaker 8: I got to tell the story, and then like you
Speaker 8: just like, hope I get to put out another album
Speaker 8: and I'll tell another story. So that's kind of how yes, yeah,
Speaker 8: so it's like all right, it's like it's a thing
Speaker 8: that gets to live on its own thing and then
Speaker 8: like hopefully I get to make other stuff. You know,
Speaker 8: can I just ask I'm gonna zoom out real quick
Speaker 8: and act like I'm a whole civilian.
Speaker 4: Don't really know?
Speaker 8: You see you on paper, and on paper you've done
Speaker 8: some like really remarkable things, Like we just talked about
Speaker 8: you doing SNL not really even Karen, that wasn't even
Speaker 8: something you pursue. It happened for you. Right then we
Speaker 8: talked about you know, you had your own TV show
Speaker 8: HBO kind of dope. Also from as far as like
Speaker 8: then you end up in a movie with Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 8: So is that journey if you zoom out and look
Speaker 8: at it, can you give us detail on that journey
Speaker 8: in that way? Like do you feel do you see
Speaker 8: the things that you've achieved in that way? Are you
Speaker 8: always just like what's the next thing? Because I hear
Speaker 8: you in your voice kind of like hopefully I get
Speaker 8: another opportunity. But in this moment, do you understand that
Speaker 8: you've done some already remarkable things. I mean, yes, I
Speaker 8: guess I feel like I got to do some really
Speaker 8: cool things like those. That ship was like really fucking dope.
Speaker 8: I don't know if I look at it from a
Speaker 8: lens of like remarkable, I'm just like that was really
Speaker 8: dope that you you got that like opportunity lined up,
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. And I'm like, what I
Speaker 8: got to learn from that? Even more so, you know,
Speaker 8: curious is like dope as fuck, and like take that
Speaker 8: and just like move it to the next.
Speaker 6: I thought about you the other day when when Elon
Speaker 6: Musky sent like a rocket said.
Speaker 1: Another rocket that like exploded and exploded.
Speaker 8: A couple of people tweeted me, like space day is Saturday.
Speaker 1: Right straight up.
Speaker 6: But until you made that joke, because I too, I
Speaker 6: thought like NASA was the space niggas.
Speaker 1: I thought they had space on lock. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: did not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, other people couldn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 8: I didn't dabble in space like it just didn't seem right.
Speaker 8: It was like you right, like we've read enough comic books. No,
Speaker 8: you don't just let individuals start fucking around in space.
Speaker 2: Now we know, or now they know because he tried
Speaker 2: to send he literally like his SpaceX was like size
Speaker 2: of like Empire State Building, Like yeah, the tallest rocket.
Speaker 2: I mean again, you know, all right, so you are
Speaker 2: from Boston. I know, being from a territory doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that you have run with anyone. But did you know
Speaker 2: Patrice at all?
Speaker 8: No, he would to high school with my brother.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, but he's a whole nother generation. And yeah,
Speaker 1: been in comedy houses with him.
Speaker 4: No, No, it's like twenty years you think he would be.
Speaker 1: Like, well, I'm just saying that Sam is actually much
Speaker 1: younger than us.
Speaker 4: We oh yeah, I'm three. She got a three.
Speaker 1: No, but Stevie Wonder so you know, like bird.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying that, like the way that he
Speaker 2: described being a comedian in Boston, there was just a
Speaker 2: a different level of tension there that really informed his
Speaker 2: opinions in life. And he mentioned the story one night.
Speaker 2: I guess if you guys remember the story of the
Speaker 2: woman who I guess she had murdered her kids, but
Speaker 2: she blamed it on black people in Boston.
Speaker 1: It's like in the early I can't remember her name.
Speaker 1: But in the early nineties, like she got rid of
Speaker 1: her water at the water.
Speaker 4: Didn't put him in the water.
Speaker 1: No, that never was someone down south, someone in Boston
Speaker 1: like you it or something like that.
Speaker 8: No, No, but it was wife in the projects and
Speaker 8: blamed right and blamed black.
Speaker 2: And Patrese was one of those. Well all day they
Speaker 2: were just stopped looking for Yeah, this is like early
Speaker 2: in his comedy career where he was leap like leaving. Uh,
Speaker 2: he was one comedian leaving that night, and then after
Speaker 2: his altercation with police, like he came back as the
Speaker 2: Patrese O'Neil that we know, and he said that just
Speaker 2: living in Boston did that to him.
Speaker 1: And I want to know, like, was that your experience
Speaker 1: in living there?
Speaker 8: Not to the extreme because almost not, like I'm not
Speaker 8: living that experience as a black man, which it has
Speaker 8: to be a whole another experience and I have to
Speaker 8: respect that, you know, Like I don't know, but so
Speaker 8: not to that extreme. Did I understand, like racism, Yeah,
Speaker 8: it was.
Speaker 4: Like Boston got a different reputation. Don't understand what you mean?
Speaker 8: A mere like Boston as far as the northeast town,
Speaker 8: it has a different reputation.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Yes, there is new kids on the block,
Speaker 4: and then there is new addition.
Speaker 1: Black folks there too, though, like.
Speaker 4: No, we know, we know, but we always thought it
Speaker 4: was kind of a separation.
Speaker 8: But why it has this reputation like.
Speaker 4: Goodwill Hunting. I don't know, I don't care.
Speaker 8: I don't know, Billy, and I don't feel like the
Speaker 8: white people are particularly not racist, you know.
Speaker 4: I'm not like, oh nicer here.
Speaker 1: Wait, you're being serious right now? Yeah, oh okay, so okay.
Speaker 2: So granted a lot of our education, and I'm willing
Speaker 2: to admit that a lot that we learned, we also
Speaker 2: have to just sort of analyze. Yes, I've learned a
Speaker 2: lot about the idea of Boston based on Yeah, based
Speaker 2: on ninth n information.
Speaker 4: And what I see on TV things.
Speaker 2: I was just led to believe that, like that Boston
Speaker 2: was more akin to like what benson Hurst eighty nine was.
Speaker 2: There's certain places that you don't go, and I was
Speaker 2: just taught earlier you don't go to Boston.
Speaker 1: I was just taught that.
Speaker 8: I just feel like, yeah, to some degree, is very
Speaker 8: territorial in that way, and like it was SOUTHI like
Speaker 8: where the white boys lived, and it was like you
Speaker 8: don't really need to be out as southeas America after
Speaker 8: a certain hour because they're over there drunk. I mean
Speaker 8: right right, big fact, it's like they're tumbling out of
Speaker 8: there drunk. And we all know white boys like to
Speaker 8: fight for no reason. They hit themselves in the heads
Speaker 8: with bottles and stuff.
Speaker 1: So it's just like you're doing it right now.
Speaker 8: It's like, Bro, you don't go over there like that.
Speaker 8: You know, there's really no business over there.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you just felt that, myth because literally any
Speaker 2: black person that I that I know that says I'm
Speaker 2: from Boston.
Speaker 1: Inside my head, I'm like life was you see it a.
Speaker 8: Lot exactly, so crazy time to understand what people think
Speaker 8: is happening. And it's like it's not like bro, it's
Speaker 8: like you and just like throwing yo.
Speaker 4: It's just like like nobody, dude, all I.
Speaker 1: Know Boston black people, bosses, guru, uh yeah, shot. But
Speaker 1: it's there's black Bostonians and it's a.
Speaker 8: Black bas it lives a black Boston culture. There's it's
Speaker 8: the city that's been black for a long time. I mean,
Speaker 8: Malcolm X started his first independent bost in Boston. Of
Speaker 8: Malcolm X Talks about all the dope ship that he
Speaker 8: saw in Boston when he went to Roxburg at Fort
Speaker 8: Hill and how the black people were living there and
Speaker 8: black dogs that was over there. I'm okay, had a
Speaker 8: crib in Boston, Like what are you talking?
Speaker 4: We needed to be minds have changed forever.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do mushrooms in Boston.
Speaker 2: No, I'm glad you just felled that myth because I
Speaker 2: was just taught to be afraid of Boston. But you know,
Speaker 2: I also agree that everything I was taught that I
Speaker 2: have to have.
Speaker 4: It is a very segregated city.
Speaker 8: The black people are where the black people are, Like
Speaker 8: we live in sirp or Dorchester, Roxbury, mad at Pam
Speaker 8: like the South then a little bit like yes, you
Speaker 8: know what, I'm Dorchester, so you know what I mean,
Speaker 8: Like yeah, and we parted when we party because like
Speaker 8: you know, just like a lot of like the city
Speaker 8: every city.
Speaker 1: Yeah else, did you go to Rochbury eleven pm tonight?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 8: Especially now it's all gentrified.
Speaker 1: That nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 4: You're cyclipping on where I'm going? Where am I going?
Speaker 4: What's my purpose?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that's my purpose? That's like.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 8: And so if you go to downtown and ship, you
Speaker 8: ain't gonna see us like that. There are a lot
Speaker 8: of like black clubs, No, because Boston is like white Atlanta,
Speaker 8: you know, likes wh It's where white people come to
Speaker 8: be there, white as self, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: So I don't know, like it's you're not gonna.
Speaker 4: Get you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Right now, break wat that people.
Speaker 8: From Boston saying it all the touch Jason, This not
Speaker 8: on the original idea. We've all said this like it
Speaker 8: is though. It's like it's the last time I say it.
Speaker 8: It's like white Atlanta, Like I got it now, you
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying it. It's so you know when
Speaker 8: you call something white Atlanta, it's different, and it ain't
Speaker 8: like every town downtown is like they'll be like yo,
Speaker 8: no hats no timberla that type of ship, type of
Speaker 8: rules or whatever. If you could get into places it
Speaker 8: does that little bullshit. So then you know, niggas get
Speaker 8: to a point where's like I'm just party in my
Speaker 8: neighborhood or the old parties will go where I know
Speaker 8: I wanted because I'm not with the I don't want
Speaker 8: to go spend money and be harassed and ship, you know,
Speaker 8: so it is like yeah like that, like they'll tell
Speaker 8: you no hats and then let a white boy walk
Speaker 8: in with a hat in your face. Yes, Boston ship
Speaker 8: like that, because I think that's the ship that people
Speaker 8: have seen and been like, it's not That's what I'm
Speaker 8: I'm just kipping like it's a downtown thing.
Speaker 1: It's a white type. They'll do that type of maybe
Speaker 1: we just don't like the Celtics and.
Speaker 8: The entire I mean that we also got the busting
Speaker 8: late and that that would always look crazy on the city.
Speaker 1: When I read New Edition story images.
Speaker 8: And you that looks crazy, you know what I mean?
Speaker 8: There is context of some people's thank you saying also
Speaker 8: got to take his ls where it was wild. But
Speaker 8: I'm just saying, like I didn't grow up and it
Speaker 8: wasn't like God s my nigga. That wasn't happening to me.
Speaker 8: Like I went to school and it was fine and
Speaker 8: she was straight. I played with black kids outside.
Speaker 1: I wish I like John Williams inspirational music, like she
Speaker 1: really so Boston being in the place where white people
Speaker 1: go to be their whitest.
Speaker 4: That's it when you put it in the white Atlanta perspective.
Speaker 4: I said, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 1: They have a freak.
Speaker 4: It's called the marathon.
Speaker 1: I'm that was good episode, like a whole dude, Let's
Speaker 1: give it.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 1: Your presence is bringing out.
Speaker 8: But you are gonna definitely get some white man commented, Yeah,
Speaker 8: you're right, it's gonna be in them.
Speaker 4: This is why I can't stand here.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 8: I I feel like white people find this type of
Speaker 8: stuff to just get mad, Like would I be looking
Speaker 8: at like to Lib's comments.
Speaker 1: Why would you want to do that to yourself?
Speaker 4: It's fun for me. It's the funniest ship.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: I have the best time.
Speaker 1: In case you're wondering, during the pandemic. During the pandemic, uh.
Speaker 2: While they were taking their episode of their podcast, the
Speaker 2: first thing that Most and Dave collectively asked him like,
Speaker 2: why would you want to subject yourself to like just
Speaker 2: going toe to toe with every comment.
Speaker 8: For every just that ca and not be good for
Speaker 8: I mean, you're making me laugh, bro, because people that
Speaker 8: the people that fights like I.
Speaker 1: Want to see really, I want to play really, but
Speaker 1: also like they.
Speaker 8: Clearly came here to fight, like like big, like long beer,
Speaker 8: like mountain looking white man. It's like it's not like
Speaker 8: they've been listening and this one disappointed them.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? They they you phraised club.
Speaker 1: It's almost online fight club. It's like you phrased it
Speaker 1: like that's one of your favorite pastimes. Like let me
Speaker 1: see what the.
Speaker 2: One time I seen the comments was like in five thousands,
Speaker 2: and it's like, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: It is incredible. I've gone down. Why not?
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable, Like you can't. It's almost like impossible to believe.
Speaker 2: It's so And it just starts with one question. Whose many?
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'll be all the way down.
Speaker 1: You uh yeah, no more televion quality. I can't read
Speaker 1: the comments. Man, didn know me? Oh yeah, I do
Speaker 1: not ever recover. That's a lot.
Speaker 4: Oh you go crazy, y'all messed up?
Speaker 1: Man, people thousands you read the comments like you read
Speaker 1: the comments.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, y'all. I still get like twelve, So yeah,
Speaker 4: I can. I can read my comments like one.
Speaker 3: I say.
Speaker 8: I will say, like on a on a post for
Speaker 8: a show like come to the show. I'll read my comments.
Speaker 8: If someone's like, yo, what about d C? If I
Speaker 8: have a day in DC, I'll be like, yo, I'll
Speaker 8: be in DC this day. I'll gauge on that. But
Speaker 8: like if it's just like my face or something, there's
Speaker 8: no service here, there's no purpose. But as many of
Speaker 8: those that come, it's gonna be like stupid, ugly bitch,
Speaker 8: and it's like I gotta go through one of those
Speaker 8: to get to a we love you.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna just leave the whole ship alone.
Speaker 1: You don't have to engage with all that ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get one swipees worth. That's the rule. That's one
Speaker 1: and you're done. That's it.
Speaker 4: Man, commenters, y'all be the things rolling up them numbers.
Speaker 2: I'm just under the impression that if things go good,
Speaker 2: I mean, if I have a really good meal, my
Speaker 2: first thought isn't let me go and yell, yelp and
Speaker 2: rave about it. There might be I might realize like
Speaker 2: my power and like I want to elevate a business
Speaker 2: and be like yo, man, these you know, these croissants
Speaker 2: are off the hook, and you know I'll I'll do that.
Speaker 2: But I'm just d the impression that if things go good,
Speaker 2: you know, then no one's gonna really comment about it.
Speaker 2: But if things are bad or people just in a
Speaker 2: bad mood. That's what yelp and commons.
Speaker 4: Receive.
Speaker 8: So it's like, so I don't like almost.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which I was three seconds away.
Speaker 2: I had a very rotten experience at one particular amusement
Speaker 2: park I went to a month ago.
Speaker 1: If it was only try to guess about right the
Speaker 1: clu the clue should be.
Speaker 2: I don't want to stop the bag because I won't
Speaker 2: say their name, but I will notice that as as
Speaker 2: an avid local amusement park person, like when I'm on
Speaker 2: the road, whatever, I have the day off, I'm going
Speaker 2: to you know, this particular amusement park is not plus
Speaker 2: size friendly. No, Disney has finally made the adjustment this
Speaker 2: year where they now have certain rides I couldn't ride before.
Speaker 4: They're not booty friendly.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're not at all. They're literally not, but Disney
Speaker 2: made that adjustment. So shut out to Disney.
Speaker 8: So when I talk about Disney, what I love Disney, Right,
Speaker 8: you need to.
Speaker 1: Go to Booty Land. They're all set up.
Speaker 6: I too, went to an a music part of my
Speaker 6: family like a month ago, and like it was great,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, But it was my first
Speaker 6: time being there like twenty five years, right, So like
Speaker 6: my last time there.
Speaker 1: I was a senior in high school. And now you
Speaker 1: know clearly your dad, I did my last last year.

Speaker 1: My boys? I still got I don't know. But at
Speaker 1: the end of it, you like, no, it was great.
Speaker 1: I did. How good was the nap after you left?
Speaker 1: It was? It was great because I mean it was
Speaker 1: the day of walking, like I think I got, like.
Speaker 10: Yeah, right, people, you calculate your steps. I do it
Speaker 10: too so no, I do it too close close ring.
Speaker 10: I'm not mad about it. I just want to acknowledge it.
Speaker 10: If you're over the age of forty, you better be
Speaker 10: don't have many.
Speaker 1: Rings, I will say. The only reason why that trip
Speaker 1: wasn't a bust to close the rings. No, you always
Speaker 1: got to close the ring.
Speaker 4: You know you're younger, she's younger. Wait, because then it
Speaker 4: was what.

Speaker 7: Okay, well also okay, yeah, anyway, what then happened the
Speaker 7: amusement park.
Speaker 1: Like the rides are not they're not made for men
Speaker 1: of husk.
Speaker 6: But and honestly, for me, it's just one of those
Speaker 6: things where it's like, I mean, it was rides I rolled,
Speaker 6: but like for me, it was just the thing of like, yo,
Speaker 6: do I really want them? Do I really want this
Speaker 6: to be inclusive? Like do I really want something that
Speaker 6: I could continually lose my life on?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, like, I'm cool.
Speaker 4: Up in the air.
Speaker 6: It's like, Bro, it's not about it's at that point,
