Season 7

Get ready for an episode filled with uncontrollable laughter and raw honesty! Host Leigh LaRie and guest co-host Charlisa "Chadowboxx" Harris are joined by the multi-talented G Wade—comedian, podcast host, community advocate, and US Army veteran.

In this episode, G Wade shares the hilarious origin story of his name (and why he’s technically a "Second"), his accidental journey into the military, and how he transitioned into the comedy world after realizing he was funnier than everyone else at the open mic. The conversation takes a deep dive into his 10-year military career as a combat medic, including his time in Iraq and how those life-and-death experiences led him to a practice of meditation and self-care.

From "Private Burger King" stories to the "comedy equation" (Tragedy + Time = Comedy), G Wade keeps it real about his current divorce, navigating fatherhood, and his unwavering dedication to community outreach through Cultivate Initiatives. Plus, things get wild as the group discusses "designer crack" theories for affluent neighborhoods and why G Wade plans to start smoking crack at age 70.

Tune in for a masterclass on how to balance masculine energy, community service, and a professional comedy career—all while keeping your "man unit" intact!

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.000
I'm Lila Rhee. And I'm Nick B. Listen, we're just two single girls from the city of roses discussing all things love, lust and perception. And roses are a symbol of all.

2
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.000
Things beautiful about love.

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:20.000
But as you know, love can get a little dirty. So we're here to talk about it. Dirty Roses podcast starts now. Hey, I'm Lila Ree.

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.000
And I'm Charlisa Shadowbox.

5
00:00:21.000 --> 00:01:09.000
Now, as you can see, of course, we've been talking about all season long that our girl Nick B. Is out and for the season. But she is doing her fixing herself up and by the time that this airs, she going to be a brand new her. So we literally, literally, so we are loving her journey. So make sure you follow her and follow along with her journey, her health and wellness. Because we all about making sure we are good. Making sure we're taking care of ourselves and living our best lives for a lot longer than we planned. So we are here for that. But in the meantime, I got my girl co hosting, guest hosting with me and I can't sing, but it's okay. We are being joined today by the one and the only, the only. He is comedian. He's a podcast host, community advocate, businessman, father. Doing all the things friend. And he only got one letter to his name and I don't know why.

6
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.000
Professional Leo. We forgot about that.

7
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.000
Yeah, professional.

8
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:16.000
I'm a professional. Everybody's a Leo.

9
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.000
It's like coke in the South. Everything's a Coke.

10
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.000
Everything's a Coke.

11
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.000
Yeah.

12
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.000
Everything is a code. He said we're. We're LEOs with AIM.

13
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:31.000
Okay. Oh, because we had the arrows. Yeah. Well, we're gonna welcome here. Jortavius.

14
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.000
I like it.

15
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:42.000
Arendelle. We got the man to myth the legend himself, Mr. G. Wade. How are you doing, sir?

16
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.000
I'm doing all right. Thank y' all for having me.

17
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Thank you for joining us.

18
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:46.000
We are so excited for this one.

19
00:01:46.000 --> 00:02:00.000
Listen, because we was. We was like pondering who we gonna have on the picture. Charlisa was like, have you ever had ga way on there? I said, no, I have not had G.A. wade on my show yet. And so now we know it's just G because the A actually stands for something, but.

20
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.000
Right.

21
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.000
We're gonna call it whatever we want to call it.

22
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Yeah. Just a G. It's an origin to my name.

23
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.000
And I tell y'. All, okay. I don't tell many people this.

24
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000
Okay?

25
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:09.000
So now I'm gonna tell y'.

26
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:10.000
All.

27
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000
Now y' all gonna be the first ones to ever like. But My name?

28
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.000
No, I.

29
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:25.000
For real. My dad's name was Gus Andre Wade. And he really wanted me to be named after her. Mom was like, I am not naming you Gus. I'm not gonna do that. There's no way I'm naming my son Gus.

30
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.000
Wow. Okay.

31
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.000
And my dad was like, well, we gotta do something. So they just named me G. So.

32
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:29.000
That was a compromise.

33
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:30.000
That was a compromise.

34
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:32.000
Wow. So you're a junior? Kind of. Sort of.

35
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.000
I'm the second. Ah. So instead of calling me a junior, I'm Giantre Wade ii.

36
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000
Is that still how that works? I don't feel like it works that way.

37
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.000
That's crazy, because my dad.

38
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.000
That's fast. I could be the fifth.

39
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.000
No, my dad's the second. Even though he.

40
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:53.000
You know what's crazy? If you have a daughter and you try to name her junior or the second or third, they won't put it on a birth certificate.

41
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.000
Yeah, really? They won't.

42
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:56.000
I have a friend who did it and they wouldn't put it on.

43
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.000
So, like Chrisean's kid.

44
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:06.000
Yeah, it won't be. They won't allow, like the junior or whatever. Okay, that's so crazy.

45
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.000
But if you can name it however you want to, why not?

46
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:09.000
I know, right?

47
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000
Right. I know.

48
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.000
We have to ponder on that one.

49
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.000
Yeah, exactly. Cause. Yeah.

50
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:20.000
There's no free will. Okay, I wasn't even ready for this conversation, but I know we just learned something new today. We did.

51
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.000
I'm also a teacher. I'm also a teacher.

52
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:34.000
Listen, it makes sense. It makes sense. I was gonna say. Cause back in high school when I went to Grant, and one of the things that we learned, those real trivial facts that you just have no reason for knowing, is what does the S stand for in Ulysses S. Grant?

53
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:35.000
Oh. What does it stand for?

54
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.000
Nothing.

55
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:36.000
What?

56
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:45.000
His name is really Hubert Ulysses Grant. And he was running and didn't want to be called Hug, so he changed his name to Ulysses and picked a S and put. Yeah.

57
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:46.000
Wow.

58
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:47.000
So he didn't want his initials to be hugged.

59
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:54.000
Okay, you know what? I. Because I do know a lot of people don't typically have like a middle name or anything like that. So maybe.

60
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:59.000
Yeah, yeah. He sound like he was real self conscious to be a general.

61
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Right, right.

62
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:06.000
You know what I mean? Like, I mean, I get it, my nigga, but. Yeah, bro, you going to war, you can't be that self conscious.

63
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.000
That's true.

64
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:14.000
He gotta have a little bit more or less fucks again, right? Like, take this hood, motherfucker.

65
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:19.000
No, I'm just like, okay. Oh, my God. Okay, we gonna be serious again. Okay, that's gonna be.

66
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.000
No, really.

67
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:25.000
I know a whole comedian on here, and I really do want to know about that. Like, so how long have you been a comedian?

68
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000
I only been, like, jumping on stages for about the past six years.

69
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.000
Okay. Okay. What made you get into that?

70
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:52.000
I had a friend and I was working at a Providence at the hospital, and he was like, I'll be doing comedy sometimes. You should come to open mic with me. You funny. And I was like, all right, I'll go. I'll just watch. And then I went to go watch, and I wasn't planning on signing up, but I seen the people doing comedy up there. I was like, I'm funnier than these motherfuckers. Oh, shit. Yeah. And then so I signed up and I went up there and. And from there I just. I couldn't stop doing it.

71
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:53.000
Wow.

72
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.000
I could not stop doing it.

73
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.000
Do you find it hard to be funny on purpose?

74
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.000
No.

75
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
Really?

76
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.000
Nuh.

77
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.000
So when people be like, say something funny, you can just do it.

78
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:24.000
No, I just usually roll with the energy. Like, depending on what kind of energy they give me, when they say that, I just give it right back to them. And then we end up laughing. I'm one of the ones like, you know, it's like trying to do a comedy show at a dinner party. It doesn't work right. You need to set up a comedy show. I gotta have a stage audience, and you know what I'm saying? A mic. And it has to be control. But I tell people all the time, if you talk to me long enough, I guarantee you're gonna laugh.

79
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.000
So 100. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. That's what I've always. I know if I need to get a laugh, I'm always gonna be able to go to you for a good laugh.

80
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
Oh, yeah? Yeah.

81
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:35.000
Even when you. Do you be trying. I don't know. Or do you be trying to be serious? Or maybe you just really.

82
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.000
Because I can't believe sometimes I really.

83
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.000
Be serious and people be laughing at me.

84
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:45.000
Yeah. At this point, he done got me already. I'm not. I'm not believing he said. I'm just saying the way he was.

85
00:05:45.000 --> 00:06:07.000
Like, oh, I just be really. Because. And I really push my hairpiece because it's good, right? And I think everybody that's bald, you know, I think y' all should take a chance and then get your youth back. Feel what it's like to have hair again, like a hairline and, like, be Able to shake that. Like, you should do it. All the bald men out there do not be afraid to get a hairpiece. You know what I mean?

86
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:15.000
I mean, Tory Lanez definitely did that and it'll change your life. Not everybody's meant to be bald. So I feel that not everybody can go to Turi. I agree with that.

87
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.000
You know what I'm saying?

88
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:23.000
But one thing about it, that if. If we are ending up having some grown time and your lace starts lifting. I'm not mature enough.

89
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.000
What if he just snatch it off like right sexy like before you jump into bed.

90
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.000
You know that's true.

91
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.000
We'd be sliding the bonnets off his hair. Just sliding.

92
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.000
Yeah, I could do something with that. I could do something with that.

93
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000
No, I'm gonna around and step on that and be pissed off and scared at the same time. Like.

94
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.000
No. Do you know how much them come cost?

95
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.000
No. How much do they cost?

96
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
Hair units are not cheap.

97
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:55.000
No, I get mine for free. Yeah, I got a couple little homies, they make them in the backyard. I got, you know what I mean?

98
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.000
The 11 year old.

99
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.000
Yeah, they grow them in the backyard. What?

100
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:05.000
No, we make them in the backyard. I. When they go to school, I send them with scissors and they cut other kids hair and they power it all up.

101
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:06.000
Okay.

102
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.000
It is an accidental donation program, you.

103
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
Know, and that's what we make the units out of.

104
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.000
You know, the haircut from when they.

105
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:29.000
Just sneak, you know, me, a couple snips off with other kids in class hair. We put it all together, we like match it up for like curl pattern and then we collect it over time and then we make the units. It's amazing. Anybody can have one.

106
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:41.000
You gonna have every elder in this, in this city. Like, don't be putting that energy in you. I rebuke that to my scary movie producer. Right when the hair is possessed.

107
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.000
Yes.

108
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.000
Listen, that's gonna be scary movie.

109
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.000
Like tales from the crib.

110
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:54.000
Exactly. Oh, my. Aside from doing comedy, what is it that you do for your daytime living and your community work? Because you do a lot of stuff.

111
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.000
Yeah.

112
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.000
Which is why we couldn't schedule because you was like, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.

113
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:58.000
I gotta walk through.

114
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.000
I do this, I do that.

115
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:14.000
It'd be a whole bunch of stuff. But I'm. I mean, I got a lot of friends who do a lot of business and I always do my best to invest in them and with them. And so that's one thing that I do. Another thing I do is I'm a Engagement coordinator with a group called Cultivate Initiatives.

116
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.000
Okay.

117
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:47.000
And so I'm always outside. Just, you know, my job is really to bring the community to cultivate and cultivate to the community. We do a whole bunch of, like, we got a beautification team that goes around and cleans up a bunch of places. We go clean up camps that have been abandoned also. We'll go to, you know what I'm saying? Camps where people chilling and be like, hey, y' all got some stuff y' all wanted to throw away? Wow. They just, you know, I'm saying, gather they stuff and clean up around the area. Tossing the truck, you know, I'm gonna dump it off. We got shower trucks, three of them, one stationary at the hub, and then we got two more that we drive around, give people showers, and let them do their laundry.

118
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.000
That's what's up.

119
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:53.000
Yeah. And the Safe Westville is 75 people in a safe reserve on 122nd of Burnside.

120
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.000
Oh, wow.

121
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.000
Yeah.

122
00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:06.000
Oh, wow. Do you find that, like, your. Your personality and. And how you navigate in comedy, does that kind of transition or translate into the work that you do and your ability to create relationships?

123
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:38.000
Yeah, I've met a whole bunch of relationships through, like, in the social work realm, through comedy. Just going out doing shows and, you know, me speaking and talking about the things that I talk about. Sometimes I got so many jokes, and all my jokes come from, like, reality. It comes from my reality. So, you know, I tell a joke about something, I meet somebody afterwards. Oh, I do this, and, you know, I work with this group over here. I'm like, oh, we should actually link up in the daytime. You know, let's finish, you know what I'm saying? Getting drunk, and let's hit this leave real quick. But in the daytime, when we got our regular faces on, like, you know what I'm saying? We should actually talk about this.

124
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:47.000
Yeah, yeah, let's get drunken and do some community stuff. Meet me outside.

125
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.000
Different level of outreach.

126
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:56.000
I love it. I love it. What has been the. The most difficult thing as far as breaking into comedy?

127
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:17.000
It's always that who you know, and then traveling a lot, you know, I do. I got a lot going on here, so it's hard to. For me to travel as much as I want. I do get to travel, but it take a lot for me to get. For somebody to get me somewhere else, you know, and it's one of those things, but you have to be in those other places in order to. In order, you know, to widen your fan base. You gotta be on those stages.

128
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:21.000
What's the. What's, like, the best place for comedy? Because I hear, like, a lot of people talk about Seattle.

129
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:25.000
Seattle is dope. I love Seattle for comedy, but I really love Tacoma for comedy. More than Seattle.

130
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.000
Not to Compton.

131
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:38.000
Tacoma is a way better comedy hub than Seattle. They got the Nate Jacksons, and then you got. And then you got Tacoma Comedy Club. I'm from Seattle.

132
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:43.000
Okay. I did not know you was from Tecompton. You know, we be beefing with y' all a little bit, but it's all right.

133
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:55.000
Oh, you from Seattle. Seattle. Okay. Yeah. I don't know why. I think you all know where I'll be beefing. Cause Tacoma really is. It's the blackest space in the Northwest.

134
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.000
Say it again.

135
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.000
It's the blackest space in Pacific Northwest. It is, it is, it is.

136
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.000
Yeah. There's certain areas. Yeah, it's a little different.

137
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.000
No, it's dope. I mean, like, just for the whole community. Like, you come to Portland and it's white. Like, you know, we got our pockets.

138
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.000
It is.

139
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.000
But Tacoma really is.

140
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:32.000
I try to explain to people, I'm like, Washington definitely has a lot more diversity, has a lot more of us than here. People always say that it's exactly the same, and it's not. Yeah, yeah. That's why, like, I tell people all the time, I didn't pay attention to being black and being how little of us were in the room until I moved to Oregon because it wasn't at the forefront. Like, you could move around a little bit different. You probably even feel a lot more comfortable whenever you're, like, up in Washington or, like.

141
00:11:32.000 --> 00:12:01.000
Oh, yeah, yeah. Shout out. My guy, Bo Blast. He do a lot of comedy up there, man. That's my guy. He part of the hub. We got a comedy fraternity. It's 10 of us from the Pacific Northwest. So. No, I mean, we were the. One of the founding members. I wanted to. Founding members. I didn't have to go through. No. You know what I mean? Yeah. We rock. We put each other on different stages all the time and just continue to move and grow together. So it's good.

142
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.000
Imagine if y n had, like, some line names and, like, y' all be out here.

143
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.000
Jack, brother. Oh, my.

144
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:11.000
I think we should do that, actually. I'mma bring that up.

145
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.000
You guys need some letterman jackets and all that.

146
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.000
I don't know what. What kind we. We. We can't be Greek, though.

147
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.000
No, we niggas.

148
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.000
We going be. We going be Ethiopian or something.

149
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.000
We gonna be you know what?

150
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:26.000
We gonna be Zulu or something? I'm. What. I mean, right.

151
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.000
I mean, I feel that that's fair.

152
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.000
Everybody going to be fighting over Shaka and Mandinka.

153
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.000
Right. Right.

154
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:53.000
I cannot. That is what have you. As far as your community work outside of what you do with your. Your job and the work that you do with the. The. Like the showers and the cleanup and the. And the working with the. The population. I see that you do a lot of things with other community members. Like, you've got. The walks that you've been promoting with.

155
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.000
With the wealthy group.

156
00:12:54.000 --> 00:13:05.000
Yeah, the wealthy group and all that. How much of your time do you devote to outside projects that are not related to, like, your regular day jobs or your. Your personal projects?

157
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:57.000
I think it comes. I'm one of those people who we talk. I like. I love a team. Nobody can do anything by themselves. So the team does what the team is supposed to do. So everybody's doing what they're supposed to do. Then I don't. My time is. You know me. I don't have to throw in as much time, but I'm always one of those people who I'm gonna pick up where somebody else is lacking. So it just depends on the team that I'm with in any different venture that I'm. That I'm in at the time, you know, And I always want to let them know, too, like, because I'm an honest person, too. So, like, hey, no, you got to pick that up, man. I got to keep doing this for you, because you're not doing it. What you going through? Like, you know what I'm saying? At least tell me what. You talk to me about it. So now I don't feel like. You just feel like I need to do this thing that you signed up for. You know what I mean? And so it usually works if you got a good group. So not. Not as much as. Yeah. As you would think.

158
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.000
Okay.

159
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:19.000
How do you navigate that, though? Because unfortunately, I do think that. That there's a lot of, I guess, kind of mediocrity or a lot of. Sometimes a lackluster effort whenever it comes to a lot of things that we do, like, you know, our community, we're wonderful. We're having ideas, but sometimes the execution falls short. Like, how do you. Or how have you had to navigate that?

160
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:36.000
Whenever that happens, I think just being honest with people, I'm not afraid to fight a. So, I mean, I'll tell you the truth. You know what I mean? Like, I don't. I'm not trying to fight you, but if me telling you the truth makes you want to fight me, so, well.

161
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:37.000
We can get all these two.

162
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:50.000
And so I did, I think by being honest and then also having people around you that can, that can take that honesty and don't always. And that level of accountability as like a cutter. You don't like me. No, I'm not saying I don't like you. I'm telling you you're not doing your job. And it should be.

163
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.000
Yeah, and you can't argue with that.

164
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000
You can't argue with it.

165
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000
Yeah, right.

166
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:57.000
But then also being that example too, like going hard, you know what I mean?

167
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:15.000
Yeah. Because I do think it would be different if you didn't have that level of dedication or you weren't the example, you know, then it would be hard for you to call people on the fact that they're not doing. But what I do know about you is that you're stand up in everything that you do. So I think it probably makes it easier for you to go to people doing what you're supposed to be doing. Right?

168
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.000
Yeah, we be working.

169
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:21.000
You don't sleep. I don't sleep as much as you do, but I get my sleep when I sleep.

170
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:25.000
That's like the most backhanded ass thing to say. Like I'm going to sleep as you do.

171
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.000
Exactly.

172
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.000
I'll be all right.

173
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.000
Oh, sleepy head.

174
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.000
Ass.

175
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:37.000
Sleepy head ass. You a real rest of us, nigga.

176
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:46.000
Do you find, you find that it's easy to work with your like your friend group or is that, is it easy to work with folks that just happen to have the same interests as you?

177
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:55.000
No, I like working with people who like a diverse group of people with different ideas, you know what I mean? Because if everybody is the same, it's gonna be bland and blank, you know what I'm saying?

178
00:15:55.000 --> 00:16:06.000
You gotta kind of get out your comfort zone too. I don't think it's easy to work with friends because a lot of times it's hard to put your foot in they ass whenever they're not doing what they supposed to do, you know?

179
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:09.000
And friends get real complacent sometimes too. They like, they're, they're okay with like.

180
00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:10.000
Oh, that's the hom.

181
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:22.000
Right, right, or oh, I know how she functions. So she goes, she gonna pick up the slack or whatever. So I see that. Do you find it hard to self care with all the stuff that you do, especially the kind of work that you do sometimes?

182
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:29.000
No, no. Self care comes in a lot of different Ways I'm big on meditating. Like, I'm big on, like, you know, I mean, turning everything off.

183
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:30.000
Yeah.

184
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:42.000
Stretching and like, just actually taking time to, like, not think. You know what I mean? Turning my brain completely off. And every time I feel myself focusing or thinking about something, I go back to just trying to breathe and follow my breath until I'm not thinking again.

185
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:43.000
Right.

186
00:16:42.000 --> 00:17:08.000
Was that a learned practice? I mean, like, how did you get into meditating? Because it's not normal, unfortunately, you know what I mean? For men to have that. To like, normalize that type of practice, especially in our community. I don't think that. I know it's a buzzword now. I think it's definitely growing in popularity. But as far as, like, how did you get into that avenue of, like, learning that that was a practice that served you?

187
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:46.000
For me, it was. I've been a war. So for me, it was that. That aspect of it, you know what I mean? Trying to calm my head from different, you know what I'm saying different things or getting into different spaces. Because, like, you know, when you know, like, the difference between life and death in that way, you automatically realize that some shit ain't that deep. Right? But then on the other hand, it's like, I can make it that deep. You know what I mean? So in my head, it was more just. Just focusing up and. And trying not to lose my temper or lose my cool. I started to meditate and it was, yeah, like a learn practice. YouTube university. And then I seen, you know, therapist for a bit and it got weird. Tried to sell me drugs and I.

188
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.000
Was like, wait, what?

189
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.000
Huh?

190
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.000
Okay, tell the story.

191
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:52.000
No, for real.

192
00:17:52.000 --> 00:18:01.000
You go to the therapist office and we've been talking for a while, you know what I'm saying? Good thing. And then pulled out a prescription pad. Talking about something. It's just this. It's drug dealing.

193
00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.000
It's drug dealing. It is. It is legal drug dealing.

194
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:10.000
You know the drugs I do. Just tell me how to do them better. I don't. I don't need. I don't need that, you know?

195
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.000
Right, right.

196
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.000
If her ain't working, should I go hybrid?

197
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:16.000
Because, I mean, like, with the chemicals.

198
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:20.000
Yeah, I might pop a thistle. What I gotta do here?

199
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:25.000
No, look, I. I got the funniest blue dolphin story, but that's not for this episode.

200
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.000
Blue dolphins need two cold.

201
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.000
It might be. It might be crazy. You don't get to bring up.

202
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:41.000
I had a very small window in that I was an experimenter because I have a lot of bass Heads in my family, so I never wanted to. I knew I wasn't meant to ever hit a line or do certain things.

203
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.000
Right, right, right.

204
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:59.000
But I definitely indulged in a blue dolphin one time. And it was the person who I was celebrating with. I'm sure he thought he was about to blow my back out. The fact that I sat crisscross applesauce and freestyle all night.

205
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:09.000
Had his N. Yo. The first time I did this, I rapped too, for like 45 minutes straight. We was going to a graduation.

206
00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:13.000
I had a good 200, 2,000 bars.

207
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:20.000
Like, that's wild. That's wild. I guess this make you rap, Mac Dre was.

208
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:22.000
Yeah, I had bars.

209
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.000
Yeah. Only did it twice a night.

210
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:26.000
Yeah. No, that's when I knew I was not.

211
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.000
That wasn't my.

212
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.000
Yeah, yeah, but the visual is just.

213
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.000
You was raised by crackheads too then, huh?

214
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.000
No, I was raised around crackheads.

215
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.000
Okay.

216
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.000
Yeah.

217
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.000
I mean, they was around.

218
00:19:39.000 --> 00:20:28.000
Yeah, basically. I mean, I'm definitely a product of the 80s crack epidemic, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, my mom had us in church when my dad, you know what I'm saying, had another lifestyle. Do you know what I mean? And then my mom, unfortunately, she's the baby of 10, so other than her and I think one of my uncles, all of the rest of them succumb to crap or whatever, you know what I'm saying? And it basically been based as long as I can remember. So it's definitely. I saw enough examples to where, for one thing, our comedy is crazy because I feel like a lot of, like, your laughter and a lot of things you come from is like, trying to find the bright side of some of the shit we don't been to experience. But the other part of it is it let me know that I was like, not ever meant to experiment because it's in my DNA that I'm gonna like it. I very much was gonna be, you know what I'm saying, like a base head.

219
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.000
3,000 bars, 100. Yeah, absolutely.

220
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:33.000
That's the comedy equation, though.

221
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.000
It is.

222
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.000
It's tragedy plus time equals comedy.

223
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.000
Right?

224
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.000
You know?

225
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Yep.

226
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Okay.

227
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.000
Yeah, I like that.

228
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:43.000
I'm thinking, put that on the shirt. It's probably already on a shirt. Right.

229
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:50.000
But it is the truth, because they do talk about, like, some of the funniest people have been through the most.

230
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.000
That's facts.

231
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.000
So do you. Do you agree with that?

232
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.000
100.

233
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:54.000
Okay.

234
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:59.000
Yeah. Yeah. You gotta. In order to be funny, you really gotta be able to make light of Things other people might take serious.

235
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:19.000
Right. And that's why I also think that black people are the funniest. Like low key. Because the way that we'll laugh about. Like for instance, we're like, remember whenever mom knocked you out and you fell down the stairs, like for some reason if another community heard that shit, they were like, you know what I mean? But we find a way to make it funny about some of the most horrific things that we've been through or.

236
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:20.000
The way we explain people.

237
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:21.000
That's true.

238
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.000
You know, Michael. Michael, who you talking about?

239
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.000
Musty Mike.

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.000
You know, you see, you see, y' all come.

241
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:33.000
If black people would describe people anyt type of way. We talk about how we got. Nick. We do have nicknames for us. Most of the people that we.

242
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:35.000
Y' all got a group chat, huh?

243
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.000
Absolutely. A couple of them.

244
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:38.000
Everybody on group chat got a nickname.

245
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:39.000
100%.

246
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.000

Or 49 shots. Japan.

257
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.000
He got shot 49 times?

258
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:13.000
No, I think like eight. But I think he was like right before his like 49th birthday or something like that. So just.

259
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.000
Damn, you can't get shot when you're that old.

260
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.000
No, that's what I'm saying.

261
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.000
What is you doing to be out there still getting shot?

262
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:27.000
It was like there was like a whole phase for like a of years, couple, couple months recently where it was like all the old was out fighting and getting Whatever.

263
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:29.000
Yeah. And getting all the brawls and all.

264
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.000
And they were like. Cuz all old is getting out of jail. So they got their old abuse.

265
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:41.000
They got to make up for all lost time, see if they still got it right. Yeah, that's what it is. They see if they still agile fighting on Alberta.

266
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.000
Yeah. I was trying to think my nicknames aren't that bad. Like her nicknames are wild.

267
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.000
I. I am kind of rude with my nicknames. I really.

268
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:50.000
Her nicknames usually come after they done pissed her off.

269
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.000
Yeah.

270
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:53.000

00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.000
No, it wasn't.

276
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.000
Was it Bam and all them or whatever.

277
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:21.000
No, it was. It was one of the ones where he was on, like, the reality TV show. He was. He was.

278
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:22.000

00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:43.000
Yo, they're about the same height. That's crazy. That's crazy. You act like you tall.

283
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.000
Listen, that makes it even worse.

284
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:50.000
Exactly, exactly. Anybody who makes me feel tall, that's wild. You need to grow up.

285
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.000
Yeah.

286
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.000

I don't know why you talking about your boo like that.

291
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:05.000

That's a lie.

294
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.000
That is.

295
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.000
We don't. I'm telling we don't.

296
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:18.000
I even have people send me screenshots.

297
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.000
And let it be known that I've definitely been in a couple.

298
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:22.000
And I know my nicknames for some people.

299
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:27.000
I mean, depends. Y' all might come up, but never for a long time.

300
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.000
Gotcha.

301
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.000

Pissed a couple people off and I ended up in some group chats. Like, damn, this, like. Yeah, I definitely. I know I've been in a couple.

305
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:48.000
Okay. I didn't. Definitely got some pictures in group chats and, like, she made you mad. So you just gonna send it to the whole hood?

306
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.000
That is hilarious.

307
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:54.000
I'm just saying you gotta watch it. Watch yourself a little bit sometimes.

308
00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:58.000
A lot of them is kind of sassy.

309
00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.000
Like, bro, that's wild.

310
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.000
If I ever pop up up in your group chat, let me know, though.

311
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.000
I got you.

312
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.000
Okay.

313
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.000
I'm not going to tell you, though.

314
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.000
See, I got you.

315
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.000
But I going to tell you.

316
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:11.000
I ain't going to tell you what it was seeing you in the group chat.

317
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:16.000
Keep it anonymous, though, like, trying to tell me what they said. I might be able to put the pieces together anyway.

318
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.000
I'll tell you if it's good or bad.

319
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:20.000
Okay. That'll work. That's fair. That's fair. All right.

320
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.000
I don't think I'll ever end up in a group chat.

321
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.000
Why not?

322
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.000
Cuz mine be so spread out all over the US they don't know each other.

323
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:27.000
You surprised?

324
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:28.000
Yeah. They don't know each other?

325
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.000
Yeah, no.

326
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:31.000
Well, actually, some of them do now.

327
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.000
You introducing them?

328
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:35.000
No, it's just weird.

329
00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.000
You should just introduce them all, man, and see how. See? We'll see what happens.

330
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:39.000
Yeah, just have, like, an open house.

331
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:45.000
Someone told me to invite everybody to the Blazer game and then have them fight to the finish.

332
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.000
Have them do a relay race.

333
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:54.000
Oh, I got these free tickets. Want to play?

334
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.000
That is wild.

335
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.000
You know, I'm triggered every time we talk about a blazer game. Oh, good.

336
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:00.000
Oh, good. And seats.

337
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.000
Did you know they have general admission tickets to the. The motor center?

338
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:05.000
What do you mean, general admission?

339
00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:09.000
You means you only got permission to have your ass in the building. But there's no, like, seat.

340
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:10.000
You can't go watch the game.

341
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:17.000
You're not supposed to watch the game. So we ended up stealing some seats in the make a wish area.

342
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.000
Yeah, but why would you. Why would anybody buy a general remission ticket?

343
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:23.000
Because, I don't know, you want to.

344
00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:25.000
Go eat some over overly priced food?

345
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:32.000
It's like, some people like to be in the. In the energy, in the space. I just don't think that our arena is. That.

346
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:51.000
That wasn't. That wasn't what. He invited me to go to a blazer game. And when we got there, then the first. He was like. He was like, where's the scalpers? I was like, do people really go to Scalper? Like, Blazer tickets is on Groupon. Like, what's going on? So I was like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, and I need you to handle your business and figure it out. So when I came back, he had bought some general admission tickets.

347
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:52.000
Okay.

348
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:58.000
And so we get in there, and I'm like, I'm pissed. Cause I'm hungry. And, you know, so I go and get me something to eat. Next thing I know, he's like, whispering my name.

349
00:26:58.000 --> 00:26:59.000
I'm like.

350
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:11.000
And we. He found some seats. The folding chairs, the folding chairs. So I'm kind of like, sitting, like, in the aisle, kind of sort. And I happened to, like, kind of look around, and I was like, everybody looks sickly around here.

351
00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.000
You was with the homies?

352
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.000
I was with the homies.

353
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:16.000
That's cool. Yeah, actually. Yeah. You make some friends?

354
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:19.000
No, I was too embarrassed. I got my Ass up out of there. I was like, this is.

355
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:21.000
I would have said hi to a couple people.

356
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.000
Seats from the kids.

357
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:27.000
You should have said hi to a couple of. What's up? You know. All right, I'm chilling in here. Think about this game.

358
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:28.000
It's hard out here for us.

359
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:34.000
How long you got? How long you got?

360
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:39.000
Yo, did y' all see that meme where it was like Magic Johnson was donating blood for the Make a Wish.

361
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:43.000
You know what?

362
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:44.000
That's wild.

363
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.000
That's not cool.

364
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.000
That's. It gotta be. AI, man.

365
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:55.000
AI is real, cuz that is. At this point, you don't know what's real. Like, for real. Yeah.

366
00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.000
You used to be able to tell, but now you can't.

367
00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:58.000
Now you really.

368
00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:59.000
It looks real.

369
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:04.000
I really thought them bunnies was on that trampoline for a minute. I was Devil's real.

370
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:05.000
The bunnies on a trampoline. What is that?

371
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:15.000
There was like, a video of, like, a bunch of bunnies on a trampoline jumping. And it was cute, and it was cute and it was fake. And then there was deers and then there was kangaroos and jumping on trampolines and.

372
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:22.000
Yeah, but I do feel like it's like mental illness a little bit when people be accepting compliments from AI pictures.

373
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.000
That's crazy.

374
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:28.000
Like, have you seen that? Like, how people be sharing them on their timeline now? And people like, gorgeous. And they're like, thank you.

375
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:30.000
I'm like, meanwhile, it looks like a Picasso painting.

376
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:34.000
That is not true. No, it really looked like a real image of somebody.

377
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.000
No, I know, but it's just not true.

378
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.000
It is not you. Yeah, that feel that. I think that's.

379
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:40.000
That's.

380
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.000
You think it was mental or something? A little bit.

381
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.000
Okay.

382
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.000
I thought so.

383
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:48.000
Yeah, they like it. Ulysses, ask Grant. They self conscious.

384
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:49.000
They don't want to be a hug.

385
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:55.000
Start calling huggies. So there's ever been a time that you've been on stage and you're, like, completely fucking bombed?

386
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:56.000
Oh, hell yeah.

387
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:57.000
Ooh, Tell us about it.

388
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.000
It happens. I mean, it's one of those ones. I might still find myself funny, but.

389
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.000
It was funny to me.

390
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:13.000
I was in a room and it was. The audience was primarily white women. And I like to dig in on white women when I'm on stage.

391
00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:14.000
I do love that about you.

392
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:22.000
You know, I'm just gonna be all the way. I just point out the hypocrisy that they have sometimes, and they didn't like it and I liked it, so I just kept going.

393
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:25.000
I don't Think that you knew it was like, that Might not have.

394
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:51.000
I got a story about when I threw. I got to throw a white woman before and what? I got to throw one. Nigga, I'm a legend. You don't know many things that been able. That I threw her ass. Like, I'm gonna tell y' all the story. So, like, you know, my kids was young at this time, and I got two daughters, and they both three at the time. And then they're not twins. Don't judge me. And then my son is a year.

395
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.000
They got two mamas.

396
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.000
No, they got the same mom. They both three, and they not twins.

397
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:01.000
So one's not biologically yours, huh? Wait, what? Hold on a second.

398
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.000
Okay.

399
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:05.000
Bet he got ghetto twin.

400
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:06.000
That's what I said.

401
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.000
PID was the year.

402
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:09.000
But he just had the same baby line, right?

403
00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:13.000
Yeah, for sure. Oh, my God.

404
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.000
Geronimo. I'm not doing this with you today, right?

405
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:21.000
Not doing different Girobaldi.

406
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:35.000
Oh, my God. Anything, G. But they was keeping his toy away from my son all day, and he had some patience. He kept crying about it or whatever, but when they went to sleep, he went in they room and broke the toy, right?

407
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:36.000
So ain't nobody gonna have it.

408
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.000
Ran back in his room. They up there crying now. Cause they three. He two. You know what I'm saying? Right?

409
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.000
Right.

410
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:51.000
I go in there and he fake snoring, like. Yeah. And I'm like. I start yelling at him, and you know what I'm saying? He is.

411
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.000
He is.

412
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:58.000
I'm going in on him a little bit. Boy, don't be going in they room. Stay out of here. You know? But I'm kind of like, I see. I know why you did it.

413
00:30:58.000 --> 00:30:59.000
Right?

414
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:08.000
Well, the lady that lived next door, his room, it's the summertime. His window right next door is where this lady was outside getting her drink on. I don't know, chilling, doing whatever she's.

415
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:10.000
Doing, but minding business.

416
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:18.000
The girl's crying. She hear me yelling at my son, so now he crying, right? So as I come downstairs, she knocking on my door, like, banging on my door. Nevermind.

417
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.000
Go ahead, girl.

418
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:43.000
Right? I opened the door and I was like. She was lit. And I'm like. And she's like, I heard some kids crying. And I'm like, let me go ahead and eat your mind. It's fine. I was just yelling at my kids a little bit. Kids cry when they, you know, when a parent yells at her. It's fine. And then she goes, well, is it? And I'm like, well, Now I'm done explaining. I'm just gonna close my door. When I close my door, she stuck her foot in it, in her shoulder, like, you know what I mean? Like, you know, oh, she gonna bogart.

419
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:44.000
Her way up in here.

420
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.000
Facts.

421
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:45.000
Oh, she was drunk. Drunk.

422
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:50.000
So I picked her up by her chin and her throat. I threw her off my porch.

423
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:56.000
That is how I caught a case when I first moved here, though. So I. I understand. I'm on your side.

424
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:04.000
And then I called the police. I feel like white women are the only people you can call the police on. Don't call the police on nobody but white women. White women are the only.

425
00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:05.000
Yeah, that was the mistake I made.

426
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.000
You know what, though? Especially when they drunk, because they gonna tell on themselves.

427
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.000
That's true.

428
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:10.000
Yeah.

429
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:35.000
Oh, no. I called him. I said, man, look, I don't want to press no charges or nothing. This what I want. I just need y'. All. I just need a record of this. I just threw this white lady off my porch. And you know what I mean? I just needed to be documented. He's like, where do you need us? I'm like, you can come over here. There's the address. She's still over here. I'm trying to tell her to leave my yard, but she's still out here acting crazy, you know? And he was like, somebody's on the way. He tried to hang up. I said, oh, you not hanging up on me. You crazy. You finna listen to this whole conversation.

430
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.000
Yeah, we need everything going on.

431
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:47.000
As soon as they got there, she was like, he hit me, put a gun on me. He punched me. And she just started lying. And I was like, oh, see, I'm happy I kept these motherfuckers out.

432
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:50.000
Cause they do come with a different energy. If you were the one that.

433
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:51.000
That.

434
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:53.000
That called versus the other person. That's the mistake I made.

435
00:32:53.000 --> 00:33:02.000
Yeah. I didn't call. She cut the officers out when they didn't believe her. They were like, that didn't happen, ma'. Am. We got. She went off on him. She spit on one.

436
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:14.000
She was satisfying. There's something. See, my move is the mush. You did the. I love a good mush. Like, till your neck snap a little bit. I love that.

437
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.000
We'Re bonding over beating up white women.

438
00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:17.000
You know, sometimes.

439
00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:22.000
Sometimes I'm not particular. Anybody can catch it. You know what I'm saying? But, yeah, it's a different level of satisfaction.

440
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:30.000
The views of my guests are not the views. We do not advocate violence, not advocate for bullying.

441
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:32.000
We have grown we have evolved from there.

442
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:35.000
But she was the bully. I was just reacting to the bully.

443
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:36.000
Yeah.

444
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.000
Yes.

445
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:41.000
That's the only one I've ever thrown. I've wanted to throw others, but not the right time.

446
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:42.000
You know, that's true.

447
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:44.000
What makes it a right time?

448
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:55.000
Only if they're really like trying to break in your house. Other than that, because they. They will just talk to you any old kind of way. They treat you like the help. Just no matter. All the time bully, the out of.

449
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.000
You antagonizing that is involved.

450
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:01.000
You can't do nothing about it really. You know, because if you punch them then.

451
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:15.000
Right. I think especially in today's climate, I wish that there was not such a plethora of Karen videos. The fact that I feel like is, I'm like, is it that we're just documenting it more or that they're a lot bolder? I'm trying to figure out why there's so much ye.

452
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.000
I think it's a little bit of both.

453
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:17.000
Yeah.

454
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:21.000
It's the climate. And then also we have access to technology now. That we do.

455
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:31.000
Yeah. That we didn't before. And that is our like first reaction. Our knee jerk reaction now is just immediately I'm gonna grab the phone, you know, like, where we probably didn't think about documenting it like that back in the day. That's true.

456
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:33.000
Like, because back in the day you could just react.

457
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.000
Yeah.

458
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:37.000
Now you got to do all the extra stuff. Yeah. That's wild.

459
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:38.000
Wow.

460
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:45.000
Okay. We. We. Okay. So that joke, clearly. Yeah, Got it. I'm curious.

461
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.000
Solidarity of their fellow sister that he wasn't okay with.

462
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:53.000
They wasn't. They wasn't. They wasn't. And I was. I was picking on them too. I ain't gonna lie.

463
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:59.000
So when you walk into a space and it's pretty much all white women, like, do you be like, ah, fuck, this is gonna be a bad show, or like, how does that work?

464
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:01.000
I test them waters. Here we go.

465
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:02.000
So you're kind of reading the room.

466
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:21.000
I'm up for the challenge. Y' all gonna watch me watch. But it. And that's not the only time I've been in that. A similar situation. A lot of times when I do go into those jokes and it's why when they. They are laughing, they laughing at themselves. They understand.

467
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:22.000
They understand where I'm from because they know.

468
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.000
Exactly.

469
00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:23.000
Right.

470
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.000
Exactly.

471
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:24.000
I don't know.

472
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:29.000
Just like how black folks we can laugh at ourselves. Like we know we be doing some stuff. That part.

473
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:30.000
Don't interview us.

474
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.000
No, for real, please.

475
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.000
Don't.

476
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:37.000
I was trying to get me a piece of burger or at least ask.

477
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:47.000
The people around who you should interview. Like just take a quick. You know what I'm saying? So survey of like, hey, who interview and probably the person that's like, the person that's like, don't interview me, interview that person.

478
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:53.000
Definitely, definitely not the one that's jumping to a. They was ready for it. They've been waiting for all their life for this moment. So.

479
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:54.000
Girl.

480
00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:58.000
Oh my God, it's a fire. Oh, come on, lady.

481
00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:59.000
No time for that.

482
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:12.000
Right? So you're married. So do you find just with you being somebody who's so like out or whatever, has it been hard for you to navigate like being in a relationship?

483
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.000
Yeah. Cause we getting divorced right now.

484
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:20.000
I was gonna say are you guys used to be asking preliminary question earlier. I was like, so.

485
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:21.000
So.

486
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.000
Yes, yeah, yes. It's hard.

487
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:24.000
So do you. I like seen a few posts.

488
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:32.000
Do you feel like that. That contributed to just you. Your outsideness or you just needing to be visible? You know, that's part of it.

489
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:33.000
That is definitely part of it.

490
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:44.000
I think that's a challenge for any relationship. And not only that, but. But you're a like such a charismatic like out spoken person. You know what I mean? So I, I could imagine it's a.

491
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.000
Lot more to it as well. But that's.

492
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:51.000
I'm definitely asked like what led to it because I know like there's. It's never just a one thing. It's.

493
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:53.000
Right. It's a kind of.

494
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:58.000
It's a lot of things though. When you, when you with somebody for 15 years, you have a whole bunch of unspoken stuff. You know what I mean?

495
00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:06.000
Right. And especially because of where you guys were. Do you feel like you guys were in different, different places when you guys got together yet?

496
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:40.000
No, not really. I think we were both in the same. In the same realm of what we wanted to do and how we wanted to build. And I think over time, you know, it's a lot of things happen. But you know, she doing stuff that irritates me or gets made. I'm not saying nothing. I'm not even, you know, I'm saying bringing it up or even discussing or talking to her about it or I'm doing things that is getting on her nerves too and all that. And as you move through life and then all. And then after 15 years of this, you know, exactly like, yeah, everything is. Now you do this. Well, now you do this and you do this. Yeah, now you do, you know, and It's.

497
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:48.000
Yeah, that's what I tell folks too. Like when I'm. When I'm talking to people, I tell them. I'm like, I like to address things in the moment, but I still like to take time to process what the issue is.

498
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:49.000
Yeah.

499
00:37:49.000 --> 00:38:13.000
But I need to address it because I don't want to wait for it to build up and it be on the list. And then you filled attack. So now you coming at me with a bunch of things that you've been holding on to. So I' ma just. We just going one at a time. One at a time. The process is so. Yeah. So. Okay. But you did before we got on camera, you had mentioned that it was a mutual thing and that you guys are like amicable right now or. Amicable. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been a long day. Okay.

500
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:20.000
I mean I. I think we both understand it. We both understand where we are and that you know, I think that season a season over.

501
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:21.000
Gotcha.

502
00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:40.000
But it doesn't mean I will always, always have nothing but love, respect. If she needs anything, you know, I will wake up at 4 o' clock in the morning and do you know she, you know she needs me for something. She really needs it. You know what I mean? But it's not a. She's not. Yeah. That woman always had my love in my heart.

503
00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:51.000
Now like having watched like the Kevin Hart show, you know, where the girl, the. The wife was always mad because he was putting her the relationship into the comedy act. Are there things off limits about Yalls relationship?

504
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:52.000
Don't be talking about me.

505
00:38:52.000 --> 00:38:55.000
She know me. Even if she did say that I don't.

506
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:57.000
You gonna do what the you want to do.

507
00:38:57.000 --> 00:39:01.000
You know, I'm an open book. I don't care if you weren't. Right.

508
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.000
Sorry.

509
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:09.000
Have you ever told a joke that has actually pissed somebody off? The point to where they don't talk to you no more?

510
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:15.000
No, I don't think I ever got that far. I mean I've told jokes where I know people after the show was like, I don't like him.

511
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:16.000
Oh no.

512
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:33.000
But never not told a joke and not had a personal like relationship issue. But most, most of people in my. They know me and they know like yeah, yeah. This hitting the stage and I tell them we something that happened, I'd be like, oh yeah, this hitting the stage don't wait. No, no, no, no. It's hitting the stakes.

513
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:34.000
Right, right, right, right. Yes.

514
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:43.000
This is a new phenomenon because I do feel like people take like social media so seriously. Have you ever Had a person who doesn't like you because of social media.

515
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:44.000
Oh, hell, yeah. That happens all the time.

516
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:45.000
Me too.

517
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:46.000
Yeah.

518
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:55.000
So I was wondering. Yeah, I've had people was like, you know, we don't really like you. And I'm like, why? Well, we just don't like the way you carry yourself on social media. And I'm like, the fact that y' all be for one thing. Cause, you know, we play too much.

519
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:56.000
Right.

520
00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:00.000
And that be like, where a lot of it is. You can't take anything that we say seriously.

521
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:01.000
Yeah.

522
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.000
You know, but I can understand how you might rub people.

523
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:09.000
Well, I posted on Facebook a couple days ago, I'm retarded. And that's all I put on there.

524
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:17.000
Oh, my God. Not only that, but right now, that is a major.

525
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.000
I got a couple calls like, come on, take that down. Blah, blah, blah.

526
00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:21.000
Oh, wow.

527
00:40:21.000 --> 00:40:25.000
Get the hell out of here. You know, there's a couple of inboxes.

528
00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:42.000
But when you're a comedian, nothing's off limits. That's the other thing, too, that people have to understand. And I know that's where especially. Cause we're right now in the cancel culture and all of that. So people are hypersensitive or whatever. But you can't try to censor somebody has made a living.

529
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:48.000
It's true, though. It's true. I didn't lie. I'm gonna lie to y'. All.

530
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:51.000
How many folks agreed with you versus those few, Right.

531
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:56.000
They're like, yeah, almost everybody that really knew me agreed. They're like, yeah, yeah.

532
00:40:56.000 --> 00:41:05.000
No, but speaking of cancel culture, like, do you feel like how people. How sensitive people are nowadays has that, like, obviously it's changed comedy, but does it change how you approach comedy at all?

533
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:32.000
No, I don't care. Like, the only thing I think is counselable is, like, you know, if you rape somebody, pedophile, like, all that stuff. Counselable, but just words. People saying what they gonna say. They just gonna say it. They gonna say it whether it's on the stage or if they at the house with the homies. You know what I'm saying? I'd rather you get it off, you know what I mean? On stage for the world to actually hear what the hell you talking about? I might not like your comedy, but I don't believe in counseling somebody because they say things that I don't agree with or I like.

534
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:50.000
I do. I am a little weird about when people joke about rape, though. You know what I'm saying? Cause there is a comed went to go see, actually In Tacoma. And he joked about raping his girlfriend's daughter. His girlfriend's teenage daughter. And I haven't been able to look at him the same.

535
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.000
That's wild.

536
00:41:50.000 --> 00:42:00.000
It's crazy as hell. Cuz I'm like, how is that? Like there are certain things that I feel like aren't even cool to joke about. You know what I'm saying? It says a lot about who some joke.

537
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.000
I think every joke got a little bit of truth.

538
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.000
It got a little truth to it. Exactly.

539
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.000
Where's the truth at in that?

540
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.000
Because you thought about it enough to make.

541
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:16.000
And he's been trending. I can't remember who he's getting into it with right now. Is it Lunel? There's somebody who he's beefing with right now. He's a black comedian.

542
00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:18.000
Which one is it?

543
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:19.000
Corey? It's Corey Holcomb.

544
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:21.000
Oh, Corey Holcomb. Okay.

545
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:55.000
And he. Yeah, he basically. He was like how his. His girlfriend's daughter doesn't like him and this, that and the other. And he was like. Or he said that one time he got into it with his girlfriend and he was like, shut up for I fuck your daughter. And I was like. And I just was judging everybody who even laughed at it. Cause I'm like, you know, and I'm a mom too, so I kind of was like, you kind of weird. Cause the fact you even looked at the little girl like, you know, like you say there's a little bit of truth. And I just feel like that ain't even cool to joke about. So. Yeah, I ain't really rocked with him ever since.

546
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:57.000
Yeah, I ain't heard that joke. But that's wild.

547
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:58.000
Yeah.

548
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.000
Sounds like it's on par with him, but.

549
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:03.000
Oh yeah, he definitely very much gives me predator. Yeah.

550
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:04.000
Yeah.

551
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:05.000
He.

552
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:11.000
He. He live on a. On a. On a whole different belief system. Yeah, yeah, it's different.

553
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:14.000
We'll leave it at that. We'll leave it at that.

554
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:18.000
Yeah. I ain't. I. That didn't rub me the right way at all, man.

555
00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:26.000
And how do your kids approach your. Your career choices? And do any of them seem like they're following in your footsteps?

556
00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:28.000
They got jokes. All my kids got jokes. You know what I mean?

557
00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:30.000
You can't not.

558
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:36.000
I don't will they hit a stage? My son has a couple of times he be trying to tell Joe he just goofy.

559
00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:55.000
So he is a trip. That's when I put the piece together. Cause like I said, I've been connected to both of you guys on social media. And then One day she shared a picture. I think it was like, first day of school or something. And I was like, why that kid look like G? And then I finally was like, oh, lowercase.

560
00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:05.000
Now that's Big G. That's Big G. I'm Lil G when it come to him, man. Yeah, yeah, it's all good. It's all good. I like him to feel big, though. You know what I mean?

561
00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:08.000
Yeah, that's Big G. Yeah, I love that.

562
00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:10.000
What's your favorite part of being a dad?

563
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:30.000
I think it's just talking to them and watching them grow. You know what I mean? When they finally. And then when they open up to you in different kind of ways. My favorite part is when you get a chance to really peer into their personalities because, you know, they. As being a dad, they have a certain level of like. Like fear or, like, you know what I mean? It's that respect, but also some fear. Like, you my dad. Like, you gotta be right.

564
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:39.000
And I have heard that you're pretty strict, and you're kind of the one that, like, you. You, you know, hold them accountable to a certain degree, you know, And I do think that there's a level of.

565
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:41.000
Like, I've heard a lot of.

566
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:46.000
Well, no, because like, I said, that was the topic. Yeah, that was the topic. Like, whenever I was on the podcast.

567
00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:47.000
Oh, gotcha.

568
00:44:47.000 --> 00:44:52.000
And they were, like, I said, I had no idea at the time the person. Person that they were speaking of was him.

569
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:53.000
Got you.

570
00:44:52.000 --> 00:44:59.000
And they just talk about, like, with you having the military background and things like that and just kind of like, you know, you're the one. You gonna do wall sits.

571
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:04.000
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not a fan of whooping them. I don't. I don't. I don't want to whip my kids. I don't want to put my hands on my kids.

572
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.000
Some Drew Hills now they call them.

573
00:45:05.000 --> 00:45:07.000
Masterpiece now when you run in place.

574
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.000
That is hilarious.

575
00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:12.000
Make them say, give me 50.

576
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:22.000
Make them say, yeah, we should not have ever been the new adults. No, that's the crazy thing about it. Like, when you think about it. Who. Who authorized that?

577
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:23.000
It's perfect.

578
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.000
Like, for real.

579
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:28.000
We don't take nothing serious. We. At all. Have you seen that man? That was crumping with.

580
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:32.000
That was crumping with it. That's why I said, like, who let us baby?

581
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:34.000
Like, so the baby was a crib and it was like.

582
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:39.000
Baby was like. He was like. He was like, oh, what, you want a challenge?

583
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:41.000
That's perfect.

584
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:45.000
They really let us be the New adult. That's wild.

585
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:46.000
I think it's good.

586
00:45:46.000 --> 00:46:00.000
Yeah. Oh, man. Okay, so how do you. Okay, well, given this scenario, outside of that, how do you maintain romance without falling into being the funny guy all the time?

587
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.000
I mean, I can be sexy, you.

588
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:07.000
Know, so I don't know why that was funny. See, talking about.

589
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:26.000
Talking to G. Wade, I'm a man of many talents. Okay. Absence, you know, but not. I'm gonna be funny, like regardless. I think laughing is just part of it. I've never ever like spent time like a whole day or date or anything with a woman and she has not laughed. And I think if I did, that'll be weird.

590
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.000
You got a te her house, you.

591
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:31.000
Know, I don't think. Yeah, women don't like who can't make them laugh.

592
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:32.000
No, that's.

593
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.000
That is very true. That is so true.

594
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:38.000
You could be hella ugly. Ugly. And if you funny, you. You gonna get some action still from some people.

595
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:49.000
Yeah. Somebody gonna talk to you. But even if it's just a conversation, the ugliest in the world can walk up and say something to you to make you laugh and say, can I buy you a drink? And you'll talk to them and they're not so ugly.

596
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:52.000
That's true. That is very true. Yeah. Really?

597
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:55.000
Are there any times that you laugh when it's not appropriate?

598
00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:58.000
Oh, all the time. Everything is funny to me.

599
00:46:58.000 --> 00:46:59.000
Oh.

600
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:16.000
I remember I fell asleep at a funeral once and I was snoring and then my mom hit me with her shoulder and I was. Oh shit, I was asleep. I was snoring and all I could do was laugh at myself at that moment. She was like, you was loud.

601
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:18.000
I'm like, this is boring.

602
00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:21.000
I'm tired. This is boring.

603
00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:24.000
This is running over real damn.

604
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:31.000
But yeah, all the time. I mean, I laugh at people hurting themselves, you know though, if it's in a funny way, Right.

605
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.000
Do you check first and then laugh or do you just laugh?

606
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:34.000
I laugh while I'm checking.

607
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:35.000
God damn.

608
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:41.000
We doing. We do thinking that late. Damn. Did you break that thing? God damn it.

609
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:44.000
Up like this. He laughing. Yo, that's wild.

00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:48.000
Let me get you a splint, man. I'm going splinter up. I'll call the ambulance. Let's get you to the hospital.

611
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.000
You going to get that good laugh at first though.

612
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:55.000
I don't know why your 45 year old ass try to do a backflip. You know you can't do backflips.

613
00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:00.000
That's what they say. They said if, if I'm Drunk. And I say, I can do a backflip. It's time for me to go home.

614
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:02.000
It's time to go home for real.

615
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:03.000
Cause I can't.

616
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.000
Never can.

617
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.000
See, now, me, I'm the type when somebody does that, I'm like, oh, I wanna see.

618
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:10.000
So you're the antagonizer. You're gonna egg them on.

619
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.000
I'll give you 40 if you do it right now.

620
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.000
No, you're the first.

621
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:21.000
I'll be looking for other people. Anybody got in on this? Yep, anybody. And then somebody else would be like, I got 30. Oh, I got. Ooh. And the next thing you know, you have a pot. People just keep trying to outdo each.

622
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.000
Other and still can't do a backflip.

623
00:48:23.000 --> 00:48:26.000
And then someone's using that money for their medical bills.

624
00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:30.000
I was about to say, yeah, sometimes that happens. Sometimes.

625
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:37.000
Oh, my goodness. You mentioned being in the military, though. But so what? What part of the military and why?

626
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:45.000
I was in the Army. I joined the army because I got to argue with my mom. I had moved back home. College wasn't really working out, and I don't know where and.

627
00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:46.000
Are you from Portland?

628
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:47.000
I'm from Portland, yeah.

629
00:48:47.000 --> 00:48:48.000
Okay. Okay.

630
00:48:48.000 --> 00:49:18.000
And then I was like, I don't know what I'm gonna do. You know me kind of in that realm. I was getting money, but just not the way I was supposed to be. And, you know, she was just like, what are you gonna do? You just doing it? And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And she was in my head, and I was like, that's why I'm joining the Army. And I said it, but I just said it. It was like, something. And the next day, I went up and I went down to the recruiter's office, and I was like, man, what would it take to join the Army? Like, what is it? I told my mom's gonna do this, so at least let me come down here and see what's up. You know? I didn't wanna lie to her, so I went to the door.

631
00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:21.000
So even playing too much landed you in the military?

632
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:22.000
In the military.

633
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:26.000
God damn. Just playing too much when keeping it real goes wrong.

634
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:45.000
Think about it. That was. That was funny, too. I think about, like, basic training and shit. Like, it was funny because, like, you go to this place when you first join, right? You go to this place called reception, and they give you all your army equipment, clothes, all that. Shave your head. They. You go through this line, and they just be injecting you with shit.

635
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:46.000
Huh?

636
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:58.000
Just, like, different immunizations, supposedly like, everyone that's out there, it don't matter if you get it again. They give it to you. And then they give everybody a penicillin shot. Just in case you come in here with anything on that. On that.

637
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.000
Not if you got the clap, right?

638
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.000
You got the clap. We're gonna cure all of it right now.

639
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:03.000
Right now.

640
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:37.000
Right now. So that right there is like. It's wild, but going through everything, right? And then they put you on these trucks and you go to your basic training, right? And the truck is like cattle trucks. So everybody's standing up, and you got a bag on your. In your front, and you got a bag on your back. And you just holding it. And then the lights is out. You don't know where you're going. You just driving in the back of this truck. And then all of a sudden, it stops. Lights come on, the doors open, and drill sergeant's just flooded. Just yelling at you. Get your ass off my bus. Get off my bus. What are you doing? Get off my bus. Oh, you look like you asleep. Get off my bus. And you get off the bus. And they line everybody up. They just yelling at everybody the whole time.

641
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.000
Whoa.

642
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:39.000
So that's real?

643
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:40.000
That happened at church one time.

644
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:42.000
Not waiting. What?

645
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:43.000
Yeah, it did.

646
00:50:43.000 --> 00:51:06.000
And so I always been. I always been a big dude. And I always had some pudge to me, right? Even. You know what I'm saying? Young. And this dude, this drill sergeant, he had to be like, five, six. He walked up on me and he had a big ass nigga chewing his mouth. And he was like, what makes you think you can come to my army looking the way you do? I'mma call you Private Burger King. You Private Burger King. And I was like, cuz, I hope that don't stick. It didn't stick.

647
00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:07.000
It didn't stick.

648
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:08.000
It didn't stick.

649
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:09.000
Oh, it's sticking now.

650
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:10.000
For real.

651
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:13.000
I'm putting this in my phone today.

652
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:29.000
But I wanted to laugh. I'm like this nigga roasting me. I wanted to come back, but I really couldn't. You know what I mean? Not private, but then you looking around. But they doing the same thing to everybody. So I'm like, this is just part of the game.

653
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.000
It's just a game digging into your mental.

654
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:35.000
So I didn't take it personal, you know? And it was. Basic training was easy.

655
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:36.000
Wow.

656
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:37.000
It was easy as hell.

657
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:39.000
And so you really did stumble your ass into.

658
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:40.000
Into the military.

659
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:41.000
For how long?

660
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:43.000
I wasn't there for 10 years.

661
00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:44.000
What?

662
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:45.000
Yep. Yeah.

663
00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:48.000
So when you said you've been to war. What.

664
00:51:48.000 --> 00:52:05.000
In Iraq? Yep, Yep, yep. Yeah, I was a medic. So when you're a medic is weird because you just go with anybody. My first one, I had an infantry unit that I was with, and then minimal care detachment, and then an engineer unit that I was with, and then I went back to the minimal care detachment.

665
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.000
Gotcha.

666
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:08.000
So, yeah.

667
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:13.000
So is it true that, like, if you're dumb, that you're not gonna be, like, ranked? Well?

668
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:14.000
So that's another thing.

669
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:21.000
They're like. That's why, like, a lot of people who are like, oh, I wasn't a good student or whatnot, I'll just go to the military. That's not necessarily the move, because you.

670
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:22.000
Most like, liability one.

671
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.000
That's like, you're. You're like the sacrificial.

672
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:26.000
Absolute freaking. Literally.

673
00:52:26.000 --> 00:53:00.000
You take a test before you come in. It's called the asvab. And so you take a practice test at, like, the recruiter's office. And I took the practice test, but I was like, I don't really care, right? And I think I got, like, a 46 or something. He was like, well, you did good enough to pass. We're gonna take you down to the real test. So I go take the real test, and I'm like, this is the real one. So I'm paying attention, and I'm actually going in. And then we get in the car, come back, and then he gets the letter. And he was like, oh, we got an alpha. And I was like, what the hell does that mean? He was like, well, you scored high on the asvab. I didn't think he was gonna do it because your dumb ass scores in here. And I was like, well, I wasn't really taking that serious, bro.

674
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:01.000
I really do.

675
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:21.000
I really don't want to do this. I told my mom, like. And he was like, you can pick any job you want because. And they break the scores down in different ways. So, like, my ST score was like, 115 or something like that. And, like, you know what I'm saying? And. And. And so I was like, through all these jobs, it was one that said healthcare specialist. And I was like, that sounds safe.

676
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:22.000
Right?

677
00:53:22.000 --> 00:53:26.000
Right.

678
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:29.000
I'm not gonna die.

679
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:32.000
I mean, I feel like that's fair.

680
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:48.000
Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't know as soon as. Now, after you leave basic training, you go to a place called ait, which is where you learn your job skill. Right? And at ait, when we got there, they said, I know. We told y'. All. I know that the paper that you signed said you was a healthcare specialist. I'm gonna let y' all know, y' all combat medics.

681
00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:50.000
And we was like, oh, wow.

682
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.000
Okay.

683
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:53.000
They tricked us with a little bit of language.

684
00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:55.000
That's like being a sanitary engineer.

685
00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:16.000
You a guy, man. I said, we combat medics. I gotta get ready for a whole nother situation. And. Yeah, and they put you through it, and then you can end up with any. Anybody. So being ended up with some. With infantry was interesting in itself because they scoring like 35s and like, 36. You know what I mean? It's a bunch of that.

686
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:22.000
See, what? I wasn't sure if that was true, but, yeah, they do say that if you're not that smart.

687
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:34.000
You got a 11 before, yo, the AIT. It comes with two numbers in. In the letter. Mine was 68 whiskey. Right. If you have 11, anything after that? All infantry.

688
00:54:34.000 --> 00:54:35.000
Oh, wow.

689
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:44.000
Yeah. All infantry jobs. Yeah. So it was interesting. The engineers was more fun, though, because they. They had a lot more equipment they can build.

690
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:45.000
Okay, okay.

691
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:46.000
That's dope.

692
00:54:46.000 --> 00:54:47.000
All right.

693
00:54:47.000 --> 00:54:55.000
What was the. Like, how do you incorporate that training and that experience into your daily life now?

694
00:54:55.000 --> 00:55:22.000
I think just still having that, like, going to the gym when I want. Like, if I didn't, I would be like £600. I have the body that, like, if I didn't do stuff, I would be fat as fuck. You know what I mean? And so it just staying other, you know, ways to stay in shape and then still having that. That mentality of like, okay, bro, you getting fat. Like, you know what I'm saying? You really gotta, really gotta start having that discipline. I'm always gonna be a bigger dude, but, like, you getting way too fast.

695
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.000
He's like, but I can ruin, though, right?

696
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:31.000
They gonna name you. They gonna name you titties in the group chat. I don't want to be titties in nobody's group chat.

697
00:55:31.000 --> 00:55:36.000
So she gonna definitely be.

698
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:37.000
Private Burger.

699
00:55:37.000 --> 00:55:41.000
King, because that is crazy. Crazy.

700
00:55:41.000 --> 00:55:44.000
It was a dude they call H Hot Dog head. It stuck too.

701
00:55:44.000 --> 00:55:46.000
No way. He had a long ass head.

702
00:55:46.000 --> 00:56:01.000
No, he had one of them heads that. Where it was like, lumpy on the top. Oh, no, not just in the back, but, like, on the top. He just hit a drill, start screaming, hot dog head. Like, all the way down, forever. It was wild. I was like, damn, I'm happy I ain't him. I'm happy that Private bird.

703
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:06.000
Private Bird King all day. Happy you could twist it. You know, I can give it to your way.

704
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:25.000
How you Want, right? What is the, the craziest thing that's ever happened to you while performing or at least, like traveling to perform or at least. Or maybe that you've seen other comedians?

705
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:39.000
Man, I don't know. It's crazy to have. When you're dealing with comedians, there's some crazy. So it's just like parties after parties and stuff like that. Like, you know, the different fights that break out or the different beefs that you don't know about that you accidentally walk into.

706
00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:41.000
I heard comedian beef is like, really for real.

707
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:42.000
For real.

708
00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:43.000
Like, honestly, it's for real.

709
00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:51.000
And I know it's funny, but, like, they really competitive. Just because they funny don't mean they ain't. They ain't with the. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're not playing with you. So.

710
00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:52.000
Right.

711
00:56:52.000 --> 00:57:40.000
It. Yeah. I think my uptown comedy corner is one of my favorite ones in Atlanta. And just you. This is that, that you'll see up there. Sometimes the comedian beef, it's rough because if you go to an open microphone at uptown, it's literally like fighting in a bullpen. Like, they only got so many spots and it's like 70 comedians in a room. And so you really trying to get to the host. Like, hey, make sure I get on that list. Let me get on the list. Boom, boom. And then you could get on the list and still get bumped, depending on who walk in. You know what I'm saying? But it's also like that at a lot of the comedy clubs, if you go in there for overnight, you want to work out, you want to get in front of that audience. Yeah. LA is the same way. It's a real, It's a real bullpen. And you really got to get in there and mix it up and know some people, talk to some folks and then make them feel like they already knew you before, you know, because motherfuckers is gonna lie.

712
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:48.000
So it's a matter of kind of like selling yourself or being able to, like, have a reputation that at least, like, okay, he. We know he's funny. Okay.

713
00:57:48.000 --> 00:58:01.000
Right? Or a lot of times, this is what I do. I, I, if I, my, I got a lot of friends in a lot of different places, but, you know, so it's always good to have one of your friends that knows and that's in. Say something about you to, like, the host or something like that. When you, they already know you before you walked up.

714
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:04.000
Right? They're gonna be like, hey, coming on today. Because I already know. Yeah.

715
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:08.000
And then so fake. They be acting like they Know you even if they don't.

716
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:09.000
Yeah, yeah.

717
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.000
You know what I mean? Just because somebody else mentions you.

718
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:13.000
Yeah, that's how I did Chris Paul one time.

719
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:14.000
Really?

720
00:58:13.000 --> 00:58:33.000
Listen, I was in New Orleans, and we were walking, and there was, like, some people standing outside, and it was like a club, and it was like a party happening. I was like, oh, what's happening? You know, they're like, oh, you know Chris Paul's having a party. And I was like, oh, okay. And they're like, you know who Chris Paul is? I was like, mm. And they're like, you know, it's like 75 to get in. And I was like, like, I'll pass. I was talking to Chris Paul.

721
00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:34.000
You was talking to Chris Paul.

722
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.000
Did not even know it. I was like. I looked back later, I was like, oh, that's.

723
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:40.000
That.

724
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:46.000
That's. That's the guy that was outside. Oh, yeah. Missed that opportunity real bad.

725
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:47.000
Real bad.

726
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.000
Real bad.

727
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:51.000
That is wild.

728
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:53.000
Do you know who he is? Should have been a dead giveaway, right?

729
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:55.000
Cuz I was like, you know who he is?

730
00:58:55.000 --> 00:58:56.000
Yeah, for sure.

731
00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:01.000
Chris Paul having a party tonight. I like how he referred to himself in third person just like.

732
00:59:01.000 --> 00:59:03.000
Right, that part. That part.

733
00:59:03.000 --> 00:59:05.000
Exactly, exactly.

734
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:06.000
That's funny.

735
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:09.000
I'll pass. He ain't worth it, you know, I.

736
00:59:09.000 --> 00:59:10.000
Got better things to do.

737
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:12.000
Yeah, I heard this. Parties be kind of whack.

738
00:59:12.000 --> 00:59:17.000
Oh, shoot. I've been into a couple that ain't all that. Right?

739
00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:22.000
There you go. Okay. What has been your. Your biggest lesson in life?

740
00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:55.000
My biggest lesson? That I don't know, you know, I was a kid and I grew, and I thought I knew everything. You know what I mean? And so for me, it was when I really realized, like, man, you really don't know, because I know what I know, right? And then y' all know what y' all know. It'll take you. I'm not gonna assume any ages here, but it'll take y' all as long as you've been born to explain to me everything that you know, everything you went through. And so according to y', all, I don't know shit. You know what I mean? And according to me, y' all don't know. So you know. And so when you look at life that way, it always makes you more optimistic about meeting somebody and meeting a friend.

741
00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:56.000
Because you can learn.

742
00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:03.000
You're gonna learn something from everybody. I don't care who it is. Eight months to a 80 blind clip, real crazy. You can learn shit from an old man, you can learn shit from a baby.

743
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:05.000
Yeah. And you can learn a lot from a fool.

744
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:06.000
Bars.

745
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:08.000
Yeah, bars, Bars.

746
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:09.000
On that note.

747
01:00:09.000 --> 01:00:20.000
And then my grandma told me one thing, though. One more thing my grandma told me was stupid people get old too. So I always try to remember that. I always try to remember that as I talk to my elders and because I usually believe in everything these be saying.

748
01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:24.000
That's true. That's true. Yes. Yes.

749
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:27.000
And the crazy ones live the longest, I swear.

750
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:30.000
And crackheads. Crack is a preservative.

751
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.000
It is safe.

752
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:37.000
During COVID Oh, when I turn 70, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. When I turn 70, I'm smoking some crack.

753
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:38.000
I'm gonna try to be dead serious. I'm just.

754
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:44.000
I'm gonna try it at least once. I. I grew up around a whole bunch of people that loved it. And that's the only reason why I never did it. But it had to be. They're old.

755
01:00:44.000 --> 01:01:11.000
But that's the thing about it. Like, if you think about it, I'm gonna tell you guys a real life story. I have an uncle that was an alcoholic, and he, you know, had got clean or whatever, and he ended up getting diagnosed with cancer. And he was gone just like that. I have another uncle that has been a crackhead as long as I've been alive. And that man's still alive. And he's had cancer since, like, I was 14. And so. So my theory is this the crack. It's gotta be the crack that has preserved and kept.

756
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:14.000
It's gotta be the crack, though. This new crack, ain't it?

757
01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:16.000
New crack, ain't it?

758
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:28.000
But he's still smoking crack. So it's not like he hoarded the crack, but he ate, like, the resistance in his body. I don't know. But I just know that if I ever. Lord forbid, if I ever get diagnosed with anything, I'm smoking crack.

759
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.000
Oh, I'm with you on this.

760
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:31.000
You see what I'm saying?

761
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:35.000
Yeah, I got you. I'm with you on this one. I like it. Yeah, I like your theory. I'm rocking with that one.

762
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:36.000
For real.

763
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:37.000
Yeah.

764
01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:49.000
Even Boosie said it. Boosie had an interview where he was talking about people need to go back to smoking crack because fentanyl is why there's these young babies. Crackheads live forever.

765
01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:55.000
I think crack is still made the same, but they. They infuse it with everything they did, mixing it. So that's. You don't know.

766
01:01:55.000 --> 01:02:00.000
But I feel like the formula is still the same. Like it. You know what I mean? Like, you got to have the Certain recipe.

767
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.000
Yeah. Little cocaine, some baking soda.

768
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:03.000
I was like, go ahead.

769
01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:04.000
I don't want to tell on myself.

770
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:07.000
You know, it's all in the wrist.

771
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:10.000
It's all in the wrist entrepreneurship on this show.

772
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:13.000
Listen, let. Let times get hard enough.

773
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:14.000
Yeah.

774
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:18.000
You're gonna find all the old people who want to smoke crack, and it'd be like, here, customers.

775
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:23.000
And I already got the little bird call.

776
01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:28.000
You know, she grew up in 80. Listen, everybody.

777
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:29.000
18.

Look, we had went from the best lesson to how to sell crack.

782
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:49.000
This is an inspirational show. I feel like across the board, this is gonna reach any walk of life.

783
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:50.000
Yeah.

784
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.000
When I turn 70, I'm doing it regardless, though.

785
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:53.000
You know what?

786

799
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:38.000
Don't let me get diagnosed with nothing. I'm just going to tell you with.

800
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:40.000
With a crack party.

801
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:41.000
We should.

802
01:03:40.000 --> 01:03:42.000
We should. Let's do it.

803
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:46.000
That's what they was doing, our aunties and uncles. I. I feel like I don't know.

804
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:49.000
Them times just. I grew up in the Alameda district.

805
01:03:49.000 --> 01:03:52.000
No, for real, Cuz their times just grew up. So fine.

806
01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:53.000
You grew up in the Alameda district.

807
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:54.000
I did.

808
01:03:53.000 --> 01:04:03.000
Okay. Not as many crackheads in Alameda district. Yeah. I'm thinking about starting to sell crack. I want to sell crack in really affluent, white neighborhoods. I want to let us on crack.

809
01:04:03.000 --> 01:04:05.000
Now, if you think about it, let's be for real.

810
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:10.000
I want to make it a thing. And if we can get some in Alameda, we can get some in Leg Oswego.

811
01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:13.000
Exactly. I think it's reverse gentrification.

812
01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:14.000
Yeah.

813
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:15.000
You know what I'm saying?

814
01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:18.000
Get them doped up. Go buy up their shit. For the low.

815
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:19.000
Yes.

Cause the co host is talking about selling crack.

823
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:51.000
On that note, where should people come to find you to buy crack, to smoke it with you when you turn 70? Like, where can people find you?

824
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:54.000
Oh, on all the socials, I think I'm on.

825
01:04:54.000 --> 01:04:55.000
Crack is not one.

826
01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:56.000
I'm on TikTok.

827
01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:59.000
Crack is cheap.

828
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:11.000
Crack is not whack. Underscore. Come get some here. No, we gonna overprice it, though, you know what I'm saying? Because it's gonna be. It's gonna be designer crack. You know, we gonna put them.

829
01:05:11.000 --> 01:05:14.000
We're putting it in a little cute little vials, you know what I'm saying? Color coded.

830
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:49.000
Put some Chanel signs on them. We good to go. We in the game. But I swear. But no, you can find me on Facebook, Gaway for some reason. Instagram gway2, Twitter gway2 and tick tock g way too. On YouTube. Follow my podcast. It's two of them, four black dads. And then also nothing but a G thing. Yeah. Every Friday you can catch us at. In Beaverton at Lou Steakhouse. Used to be the Nine Nine Club, but it's okay. Yeah. 9900 Southwest Canyon Road.

831
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:59.000
I like it. Okay, Ms. Charlisa, first of all, we have the hair crack on the table, man. Tell us about your hair crack.

832
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:05.000
Hair crack, exactly. Because I do be mixing. I be in the kitchen whipping with this in the wrist.

833
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:06.000
Like you make it yourself. Like for real.

834
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.000
For real.

835
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:07.000
Literally, yeah.

836
01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:12.000
I literally, yeah. Be cracking a bottle. So this particular craft is fight.

837
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:14.000
Because her wrist is strong.

838
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:56.000
I do that upper body strength. But yeah. So today's crack in a bottle is the treat shampoo. It's my favorite because I love something that you can actually feel that gives you a little bit of a tingle to your scalp. Men love. It is really similar to like the Paul Mitchell tea tree and peppermint, where it just kind of gives you a little bit more of like an invigorating type of feeling. If you do have dandruff, if you do have seborrhea, any type of scalp issue is perfect for helping to treat that. But otherwise it is just a great, like hydrating and moisturizing and basically like treatment. Type of shampoo. So with us getting into the different seasons, I think this is a perfect product to speak about because it's cold out here.

839
01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:01.000
You know, our scalp starts protective styles and stuff. Your hair get the itching and yeah.

840
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:22.000
You'D be needing something. Exactly. So I tell people, people are like, you know, who is it for anybody with the scalp? You know, a lot of like, even my bald clients, they like something that whenever they're like, you know, cleansing because you still have to cleanse your head fart. You know what I'm saying? Like producer. That was a shameless plug. It's vegan. All products are vegan plant based. Yep, that's dope.

841
01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:25.000
It won't take your, your man unit off.

842
01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:26.000
It works great for man units.

843
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:28.000
So can I wash it with the unit on there and it won't.

844
01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:34.000
You definitely can. It's not going to lift because it's a sulfate free shampoo. So it's not going to strip it.

845
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:35.000
Okay.

846
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:36.000
Boom. And where can you order it at? Sis?

847
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:49.000

849
01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:02.000
I think that is the great duo.

850
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:10.000
The best combo ever. And then, you know, go ahead and get you like the little, the soothing tonic and all the things to go with it like get all the tea trees and peppermint oils in your hair.

851
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:15.000
Yeah. There is the scalp care essentially set that has like all of the goody things, especially this time of year.

852

854
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:29.000
Something about it curious of how to.

855
01:08:29.000 --> 01:08:31.000
Make it because she's adventurous.

856
01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:33.000
She is. She probably put crack in her cupcakes that she made.

857
01:08:33.000 --> 01:08:34.000
See what I'm saying?

858
01:08:34.000 --> 01:08:38.000
I bring up crack in most conversations I have. So I think we would have been strong.

859
01:08:38.000 --> 01:08:39.000
I think it's a healthy thing to talk about.

860
01:08:39.000 --> 01:08:40.000
It is. Yeah.

861
01:08:40.000 --> 01:08:41.000
