SPEAKER_00

Right. Laying baby hair down on baby's hair. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03

Somebody doing it, bro.

SPEAKER_00

I've seen it. I've seen it.

SPEAKER_03

This shit be wild, like seeing sometimes how these kids be dressed. It'd be a damn fashion shoot, a photo shoot. Like, bro, he's three. He's not even gonna remember this birthday party. You done rent it out of goddamn zoo. You know what I'm saying? Like, you got sparklers on the Capri Suns. Like, what are we doing, fam? Like, this is a three-year-old. Like, dude just wanna get dirty. Like, he wanna roll around. Like he got on an all-white linen suit with a Jesus piece.

SPEAKER_00

Being an experienced parent who had to purchase that stuff, it don't be cheaper. It don't like be baby prices. They still grown people prices for that shit. The same price.

SPEAKER_03

And they ain't gonna they're gonna grow out of it in like three weeks. Like, girl, we got Louis Vuitton napkins for the after set. After set? Like, and if you got it, look, if it's your brag and it's your money, then then have at it. But a lot of times, you know, folks be believe living beyond their means. You know what I'm saying? Trying to do shit just to go viral or the. I don't know, man. I said if you if you got it, live your life, enjoy yourself. But I feel like kids, kids are really simplistic, you know what I mean? Unless there is some child that's nine, like, I want to rent out the club for my birth. Like, I don't think it's really no kids that's on that shit, bro. Like, they want a bounce house, some cake, you know what I'm saying? They might want some new Jays, but it's like it just be people be, and obviously I'm over-exaggerating it, but people just be doing the most, man.

SPEAKER_00

Not really, because I think they went over overboard with the Sweet 16 parties. Those that thing. That was that was over the top. So it didn't, and that didn't stop as a baby. They let them grow up and do that same shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

The kid talking about I want a real pony. Like, fam, you 10. We want a pony. Like, we ain't got no pony money, fam.

SPEAKER_00

You're gonna keep the pony in the garage.

SPEAKER_03

I'd be like, you better take this goddamn big wheel and meet your friends outside. Like, it's baby. We stay on burla.

SPEAKER_00

You can't have a pony on burla.

SPEAKER_03

If but if you ask, if you ask Google how to get you there, it's gonna say burly. She can't say burly. She'd be like, Burley. I'm like, what street are we on, ma'am? Um, crazy shit though. Like, so I got this list of states, right? Like, I I don't know if I've ever told you or I don't know if I've ever said this publicly, but I have a goal. I want to go to every state in the United States at least one time in my life. And I think at this point I've been to at least like 30 states or so. But um prior to me, obviously doing entertainment and media, I had been places. But since I've been in this game, I've really wanted to try to go as many places as possible. And because I do entertainment and media, now I get a chance to travel. So whether it's doing a gig or whether I'm on a vacation or just being on the road, I always want to try to go everywhere. Some people like, bro, you want to go to Montana? You want to go to Maine? Why? I'm like, bro, it's America. I want to try to see every state. Like, getting your passport stamped up and seeing the world is amazing. But also, my brain is like, shit, we live at the crib. Like, why not see your own backyard? So I recently got a chance to go to a state that I have never been to before. Um, I got a chance to go to Oregon, Portland. And never been to the Pacific Northwest before. That was the furthest I had ever been away from the crib. That shit is basically at the top of the country. You know what I'm saying? It's like, but above that is Washington, and then above that is Vancouver, Canada. Like, ain't shit else out there. You know what I mean? So I got booked um early this year for a festival, the Northwest uh Black Comedy Festival, the 10th anniversary. Shout out to uh the real hijinks and DJ Wild Child, they whole crew, everybody who booked me to come out there. And um, I didn't really know what to expect. You know what I'm saying? Like, most of us only know about the Portland Trail Blazers. I mean, Oregon Trail. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00

Like, I don't know a lot about out there, you know what I'm saying? So I got one thing that you might not know that is out there. What? Milwaukee, Oregon.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, listen, we that's fake, okay? We we had a brief conversation about that, and I was like, I'm from the world of Milwaukee. Get the fuck out of here. We're not gonna be. You didn't even entertain it. And here's the thing no one, no one even questioned like if I was from Oregon. If people was meeting me and it's like, where you from? I'm from Milwaukee. Nobody's like, which one? They was like, oh, you from like nobody asked me which Milwaukee. You know what I'm saying? That's it's a lot. Right. But it's spelled different.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, i.e.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, fuck out of here. Um we from the four more foe. But while you know, while I was out there, it it was dope, right? The the first thing I noticed is weed is legal. So I think Colorado, California, Oregon, they might have been like the first few states to legalize it. Weed is definitely legal. And when I got there, the promoter gave me a pre-roll joint. Um, and all of the comedians, like everybody got weed immediately. And I was like, damn, like I was like, I don't even smoke, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, everybody was giving pre-roll joints. Um, the next night, same thing. Everybody was giving pre-so, whoever was next to me was getting plenty of weed because they was getting my weed too. Like, um, but yeah, pre-roll weed, like, weed is legal, it's not taboo at all out there. Like, everybody's smoking. It reminded me, like, Portland kind of reminded me of the east side of Milwaukee. Like, not east east, but you know, the hey, what's up, bro? Like that side of east side of Milwaukee. Like, everybody was just high, everybody was like chill. The weather was like real gloomy, you know, it's like cold and like rainy. Um, it ain't obviously it's nowhere near as cold as here, but like it was like in the 40s, and um everybody like real chill and laid back, you know what I'm saying? So um, Bob, what we doing? Y'all switching Bob and this motherfucker. Shout out to my editor, Bob. Um, but yeah, like just being out in Portland, like the weather is the first thing you're gonna realize. Now, I was told obviously if I come out there in the summer that they got beautiful summers, I wasn't tripping because you know, we come from a cold ass climate, so Milwaukee be cold as shit. So I wasn't tripping about you know it being drowsy and cool or whatever, but it was dope to go out there. And um the first night I was there, we had the opening night of the festival. We had it, we had an opening show. And uh that show was dope, and you know, I had a really good time, and uh, we probably can edit the clip in here of me talking about when I got to the festival on how I was kind of shocked at the tagline in the uh promotion of the festival. Now, mind you, it's a black festival in Portland. Portland is not a very black city, but for 10 years they've been able to put this event together, and we had comics from all over the country out there, so it was amazing to see all these different aspects of black life, you know what I'm saying? Like all these different styles and shows you that it's you know, black people are diverse and we live in all over the country. So that was dope. But the tagline of the festival was bigger, blacker, and longer. Portland, y'all good? Yeah, it's nice to be out here. Like you said, I'm from Milwaukee, and um my first time coming out here, my first time doing the festival. Y'all make some noise for them. 10 years doing this. This is a good thing. But I'm not gonna lie though, I was a little nervous when I saw the flyer for the festival. Because if you saw the tagline, it said bigger, blacker, longer. And their company is called Dirty Angels. That just sounded like a bootleg porno DVD from the 9-9 in the 2000s. I was like, I might have submitted the wrong submission tape. Like, I didn't know we was doing a casting couch in this motherfucker. Like great time at a lot of dope comedians, a lot of funny people, like had an amazing time, but something almost catastrophic happened, like my second day out there. I do the first two shows, and then when I'm leaving the venue for the second show, it's late at night, it's probably almost like almost like midnight, one in the morning out there. And uh I cat I catch a lift. And when I get in the lift, I get in a lift with this dude named John. Shout out to John. Me and John just in the car having a conversation. We just chopping up. He like, man, what you doing in town? Yada yada yada. I'm a comedian, I'm doing the shows, whatever, whatever. So he's like, man, I kind of always wanted to do comedy. And I said, Really? He said, Yeah, man. He said, I got some some ideas or some jokes from driving lift. I get all kinds of concepts and thoughts. I said, Man, well, that's the start. Like, that's how it goes. I'm like, I never really wanted to be a comedian. I'm like, I kind of ran away from it.

SPEAKER_00

Wait, he was trying to give you his mixtape?

SPEAKER_03

No, no cap. Yeah, he was like, listen to my single fam. So he gave me one of his jokes, right? He basically was like, yo, he's like, Can I can I run this past you? I'm like, he's gonna spit it. He didn't give me his mixtape. No, he asked, could he drop a verse? That's the quizzing of that's even worse. Can I spit for you? So I'm in the backseat, like, boss, I'm just trying to get back to the telly, man. So I said, go ahead, dog. So he driving, he like, yeah. So I got this premise of like, what if I had Tirect syndrome? And I was driving, I just started blurting out, like, what the fuck? I like going crazy. And I I said, I said, that's that's a route you could go. I said, that's that's not bad. I'm like, you can definitely run with that, that's a concept. But I said, let me put something on your brain. I said, anybody who's a live driver who maybe wants to do comedy could have a similar idea. I said, what's gonna make you be a better comedian is not being a surface comedian. I said, I got told right when I really started doing this shit serious that I was funny, but I was a surface comedian. Now I understand what it meant at first. And when I thought about it, I was told, like, P, you funny, but we can take some of these jokes you're saying and we can copy and paste them and give them to somebody else and they can do them, and nobody would know the difference. You have to go deeper, right? It's like being a surface rapper. You I remember back in the day, they used to say Jade Kiss was a surface rapper. He was dope, he could bar you to death, he got similes, he got metaphors, he got crazy flows, never had a whack verse in his life. But when it came to his albums and his songs, he didn't have enough depth to him. So I said, okay, got you. So I was told by some comedians, like, yo, bro, talk about your life. Talk about things that only you have experienced or other people may have experienced, but from your perspectives, so you're not just doing jokes that anybody can grab from a headline or just low-hanging fruit. So I kind of gave him the same game. I said, bro, tell me something about your life that I wouldn't know, or something you experienced that maybe I haven't. So he went right to his back. He's like, Man, I grew up with all sisters. I said, boom, I didn't. So I said, that's comical right there. I'm sure you got, you know, something from that experience. So he basically was telling me what it was like growing up in the house with all the girls, and they had like a pet or something. And I don't want to give away a shit because he might one day go on stage and do this joke, and it was a funny joke he ended up coming up with out of that scenario. So I was like, man, there you go, John. Like, that's the kind of shit you need to do. So somehow the conversation pivots from us talking about comedy and me being from out of town to I don't know how, but like God came up. And I have no shame in being a Christian and believing in God and you know, um being strong in my faith or whatever, even though at times I may seem like I'm wild or I'm a heathen, but I know, I know who the Lord is. Um, but somehow that came up. And he was like, uh, oh, you're a Christian, promise? And I said, Yeah. He said, I am too. I said, cool, that's what's up. So I was just telling him, I said, man, I said, there's sometimes where I pray about my comedy and my humor for me to be able to be funny and to reach people and touch people without having to use profanity or certain subject matters. I said, I feel like I can have more range if I start doing other types of comedy. But at the same time, I still do want to express myself, but eventually I would like to get to another form of it where I don't have to say or do certain things within my humor. So he was like, I can respect that. He said, but you don't really do, I said, no, I don't really do a bunch of just like crazy, outlandish or raunchy stuff. I said, but at times I do use profanity, I do talk about sex, I do talk about different things, but that's not my whole MO. So this never happened to me before ever. I didn't been in a bunch of lists before. John says to me, Promise, do you mind if I pray for you? And I'm just like, okay, you know what I'm saying? I'm kind of taken back by it, but like we haven't like a good, a good vibe. The ride for me to get to that venue back to my telly is probably like maybe like a 20-25 minute ride. So it's a nice little ride together. So man, he pulls over and John prays for me. And part of the prayer, what do you say, can be? He pulls over, yeah, because we we wasn't we weren't far from where we was going. But like he can't I don't listen, I didn't want to meet Jesus that night. I don't need him praying while he's driving.

SPEAKER_00

But I listen to a lot of crime TV shows on the radio, pulling over and doing this. Can I pray with you?

SPEAKER_02

Hey, come on, man. You're taking away the touching moment of the story.

SPEAKER_03

You're taking away the good moment, man. I'm not all a heathen, okay?

SPEAKER_00

So the yap house is almost over.

SPEAKER_03

But but John proceeded to pray for me. And he had, I mean, he said a really powerful prayer, honestly. Like, first and foremost, he was asking for the Lord to watch over my safety, you know, while I was away and that I would get back home. And he also just said that he he prayed that I was able to, you know, oh, in so many words, like reach my full potential and that within the near future that I would be performing at Madison Square Garden and just all these different things he was, you know, praying and pouring into me. So, regardless of talent and fame or status and things like that, I just appreciate anybody having me in their prayers, whether I know you or not. You know, I'm not gonna never take a prayer, you know what I'm saying? Like we all could use more prayer in our lives. Sometimes we're too foolish to pray for ourselves. So I did appreciate that. So we had like a really good moment. So, you know, obviously we get to the hotel and he just like, well, man, good luck with the rest of the showcases, and I look forward to seeing you on social media or seeing you on TV. Like, you know, good luck with everything you got going on. I was like, man, same to you, bro. So great conversation. I leave by going to the hotel. You know, it's probably like close to one in the morning. I'm gonna chill and cool out for the night. And then I realized that I lost my phone. So I'm in the hotel and I'm like, yo, where is my phone? And I got, for most people who know me, I got two phones, but I didn't lose a phone, I lost the phone. Oh boy. I lost my real joint. So I was like, shit, why you ain't pray for that? You know what I'm saying? Like, why? But I'm immediately flipping out because I ain't never lost nothing in Lyft before. So I'm like, damn, how do you? So I go to my other phone, thankfully, because I got another line, and I go to the Lyft app and I'm trying to contact Lyft. Everything is AI in this era. So it's a robot asking me what's going on, and I'm like, yo, I lost my, how can I get in contact with the driver? So they give me like a number for his Lyft car. Dude, shit, busy. How is a phone busy? Like his shit is busy, so I'm I'm trying to call it. Man, I'm just kind of like freaking out because I need to get my phone. Obviously, I'm out of town. You know what I'm saying? I don't know nobody out here. I'm just like, damn. So I'm trying to hit him, trying to hit him. Some time goes by, Lyff is acting weird, like the driver is out on runs. We cannot contact or bother a driver while he's driving. I'm trying to call Lyft to like talk to a real person. You can't get a hold of nobody. I'm just like, man, I done came out here and lost my phone. I've only been out here a couple days, you know. I'm just like, damn, this is a bad look. So I'm kind of freaking out, but I'm trying to stay calm about the whole thing or whatever. So some time goes by, I'm trying to contact Liv and I'm just like, man, I'm gonna go to sleep and I'm gonna just try to hit them in the morning. And then I favored him as a driver. So I was like, maybe I could try to request a ride and somehow get bro again or oh whatever. Man, I'm sitting on the couch, just trying to relax, take my mind off of it, and my room phone rings. And I pick up the phone, and it's the front desk. And like promise, uh, there's a guy down here named John. And I was like, yo. John had gone and did some more runs, looked in the back seat. Not only did I leave my phone there, I had a bag from the festival that had some stuff in it. I left that in there too. He said he had to go to the airport. Somebody got in the car and was like, yo, it's somebody's stuff back here. He said, That's promise stuff. And he said, bro, I could not remember what hotel you was at. He said, so his brain is trying to think of where did he drop me off, where were we at. And somehow he remembered and he pulled up and came inside, bro, and he had my phone. And I was just like, bro, I appreciate you for real. So he was like, Man, at this point, bro, can I have a hug? I said, You had whatever you want to sell some ass, sir.

SPEAKER_00

Like, you know, I was gonna say, let's get a little creepy now, bro.

SPEAKER_02

How's that creepy? I appreciate that man finding my product.

SPEAKER_03

Cam Beast, don't turn this into something creepy, man. Hey. All right, I won't. What you mean? Well, he made me forget my phone.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, uh, when when you got to the hotel at first, I was thinking, it's like, hey, bro, thanks for the prayer. Can I come up? I thought that was gonna be the next. I was like, come on, stop, stop.

SPEAKER_03

Well, we gotta turn a good moment. Kennedy's in here for God's sakes, Tommy. You know she.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. You know, ask her about the communion crack. Come on, man. Ask her about the communion wine. Can we can we investigate that? She needs prayer.

SPEAKER_03

Why you gonna make this go less? I got enough weird shit to happen in Portland. This wasn't weird.

SPEAKER_00

We got a beast.

SPEAKER_03

John, if you're watching, if you're listening, I appreciate you, bro. You found my phone.

SPEAKER_00

Shout out to John, man. For real.

SPEAKER_03

Man, he brought it back. That could have gone, ooh, that could have ended bad.

SPEAKER_00

That was dope. That was dope. Yeah. So he can't backtrack on his app to find out where he dropped you off at.

SPEAKER_03

I think because of so many uh rides, his brain probably just wasn't, he wasn't thinking like what was the hotel or where'd I last go. He just, you know, he's out there riding around, dropping people off.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, y'all both were lost in conversation. You left your stuff, he drove off, you know, right? Pulling over, praying, you know, it's all kind of stuff going on.

SPEAKER_03

Right. We we was in a deep convo, so you know, but I say all that to say, like, this is a crazy world we live in. It's a lot of wild stuff going on. Sometimes it's hard to have faith or believe in people to be decent or solid. And it's still some solid people out there that don't want nothing from you, that ain't trying to take nothing from you, ain't trying to harm you, you know what I'm saying? Like, because easily he could be a foul Lyft driver. I'm sure he ain't the first person that would be a foul one. So I just appreciate him doing that. Because I am people who don't know, like, I'm apprehensive about even people I know. I don't trust a lot of people. I'm very private, I'm low-key, even though I'm a public figure. Certain stuff I'm real private and low-key. So even getting in lists is like something I had to adjust to. Like, I had never been in a Lyft or an Uber in Milwaukee ever. And then like once I start doing more shows, more events, going out of town, obviously I don't always rent cars, so I had to adjust, you know, and like catching cabs today's era is hard as hell. So, you know, the cab game is almost obsolete, depending on if you're in New York or you're in like Vegas, like nobody really catching cabs. Everybody is doing the share ride. So I downloaded the app probably about four or five years ago and I finally started taking lifts. And it was an adjustment for me because I'm like getting in a car with somebody that you don't know, asking them to take you to a destination. And to me, the concept was just kind of wild because you know, you grew up, what they tell you, don't talk to strangers. You hear you get in a damn car with somebody and they take you to a destination.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't think I didn't think that was weird at all until I tried to get my daughter a lift. She was like, Who's coming to get me? I said, a lift driver. And she started asking these questions. And she was 16. And I'm like, just get in the car. What am I saying? Get in a car with a stranger and trust them that they're gonna take you where you have to go. We should have had your ass on Dateline. That sounds like some, hello, I'm Hanson from the Dateline over.

SPEAKER_03

Like, put the cookies down. On this email, did you say? Yeah, it's it's like you said, that concept to me, it was foreign. And I'll tell you one, well, I'm I'm okay with Lyfts and Ubers now. Like I've I've gotten adjusted to it. I don't do it a ton. Sometimes I do, I might take public transportation if I'm somewhere. Um, like in New York. When I go back to New York, you know, we hopping on the train. So I don't take Ubers and Lyfts as much. Excuse me. And then some of my family out there, they got whips. So I might hop into whips with them. But then again, you still do Uber and Lyft in New York as well. And I remember being in Vegas a few years back, and I took a cab, and the cabbie was like, Thank you. And I was like, What? He was just like, Man, we can't eat out here with these Ubers and Lyfts. Like, they fucking the game up. So he was just telling me how tough it is to be a cabbie now because everybody doing the ride share shit.

SPEAKER_00

Um you don't so you don't do much of the share of anything, then if you don't trust anybody.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, listen, don't get me started on the other side.

SPEAKER_00

Like DoorDash or Uber Eats and that stuff like that.

SPEAKER_03

I don't fuck with them at all. Let me say something to you, DoorDash Uber Eat motherfuckers. Um, y'all lazy as shit, bro. Like, unless you have a physical, you're disabled, you know, you medically can't do something. Like, I'm not knocking people who cannot physically get up and move around. They need help, you know, whatever. Like, you got certain situations that's going on, I understand why you may need someone to go and get things for you. But for you, able body, every day, I just want to order Taco Bell McDonald's ass nigga. Like, come on, bro. Like, ordering, ordering food to be delivered that doesn't have a delivery service is lazy as fuck. Like, you haven't McDonald's dropped off to your crib. Some dude at the crib smoke it.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, I gotta go pick up this order.

SPEAKER_03

Like, you letting Duke, you don't know dude at all. So you let somebody you don't know pick up your food and bring it to your house? Man, hell no. That concept of DoorDash is beyond me. When I first heard about, I was like, who doing what and where? First of all, if the restaurant don't have a delivery service, I don't think it should be brought to your house.

SPEAKER_00

So back in the day, we used to get our pizza delivered by Ned's. Yes. You don't mind Ned's drivers bringing you Ned's pizza. The pizza delivery man is an employee of the I got. I don't know him, but I know where he works. I don't look.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know where fans work. I don't know what dude does.

SPEAKER_02

He worked in spare time.

SPEAKER_03

I don't want a stranger that I don't know bringing food to my home, and I don't know where the he don't even work at Taco Bell. It'd be different if Taco Bell had a delivery service. First of all, Taco Hell is trash. I don't eat Taco Bell. So we lost that endorsement and we get that one.

SPEAKER_00

But wait, I like I do like Taco Bell, Taco Bell people. So if you'd like to endorse the engineer, I'm all I'm all gang. Nacho Bell Grande, top tier.

SPEAKER_03

I haven't, I don't think I ate Taco Bell. I know we're getting off record, but or on a tangent. I don't think I ate Taco Bell bro in like 10 years, 11 years. If I ate Taco Bell, I probably would throw up.

SPEAKER_00

I have not eaten Taco Bell in a very, very sometimes Taco Bell, like Taco Bell's obviously not authentic Mexican food. Sometimes I prefer the fake Mexican food over the authentic Mexican taco. Sometimes. Sometimes you like fake ass.

SPEAKER_03

You don't want the real one, huh?

SPEAKER_00

I mean, I guess uh you owe me for the way I went with your your Uber ride, your lip ride, so I'll take that.

SPEAKER_03

But like, okay, let's not even talk about taco. But if it uh one fast food place I do enjoy, I do like Wendy's, I do like Chick-fil-A. Those places don't have delivery. And listen, and let me say this too, to the people who are out here grinding and you're doing that part-time to make some extra cheese, I ain't not knocking you, I ain't mad at you. Do your thing. But I, I will never give you a dollar. Like, I'm not gonna help you make the money. Someone else will. Because I feel like this: if it's not Chinese food, if it's not pizza, what else normally comes with delivery? Jimmy Johns. Jimmy John's fast. Yeah. I mean, if if it's not one of those type of businesses, I'm cool. Like, I'm not having nobody go pick up no soul food for me, bro. Like, I'm not, I'm not, man, I can go for some mac and cheese and some some yams right now. Like, I'm not having that delivered. And then the other thing is, too, the time it takes for somebody to bring the shit to you. Like, it's not even how you wanted it. And then I don't want to know if somebody that ate it my fries, took a sip of my drink. Like.

SPEAKER_00

But it's but it's safe. It's been it's been stapled.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

The bag is stapled shut. So it's safe. Or sometimes it's a sticker. It's it's it's it's it's solid.

SPEAKER_03

The concept of DoorDash is just like hell naughty.

SPEAKER_00

You just ruined it, man. You just ruined it. You ruined it.

SPEAKER_03

Even when I was in Portland, I didn't DoorDash shit. I got the lips to go get food, you know what I'm saying? I asked for recommendations, like, but I anyway, back to Portland. So I was out there, you know what I'm saying, for damn near like seven days doing multiple shows. But beyond shows, I wanted to try to take in the town, right? I don't like just going somewhere working. If I got some time, I want to try to see your city. So while sitting in my telly, I was doing some Google, some researching, and I found out that Portland is the strip club capital of the United States of America. Really? Absolutely. They have more strip clubs than anywhere. I didn't say they got the best strip clubs. I just said they have more strip clubs than anywhere. So I found out to be curious. Actually, a homie of mine from Milwaukee, he told me that. I forgot. So while I was in there, I found it out. So I text him, he was like, Yeah, man, you gotta go to the vegan strip club. Like vegan stuff, they got a vegan strip club. Um, they have a lot of different strip clubs. Like, you know, if you normally Google some shit within like the first page, you get all the entries.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

You gotta go like page three, like on Google, because it's so many strip clubs. So dude, I just look at this. It's pages. That's what I'm trying to like. There's a lot of strip clubs out there. But here's the thing though. The Kit Kat Club. Now here's the thing about me. I do enjoy when I'm, especially when I'm out of town, I do enjoy going to some strip clubs. I do. Like, I've been to Magic City and ATL, of course. I've hit some strip clubs in Miami, I've hit some strip clubs in Vegas, you know what I'm saying? Um, don't ever go to a strip club in Orlando. Like, it's illegal to even show nipples. But um, I, you know, I've been to strip clubs here at the crib. You know what I'm saying? I I do enjoy strip clubs. I'm to a sense, I say I'm a strip club kind of sewer, you know what I'm saying, to an extent. So I do like to go to the club and chill, you know what I'm saying? I'm not big bank hank in there, but I'm definitely gonna tip if I see you know some some good entertainment. And, you know, I'm in there chopping it up, having conversations, but sometimes I'm the wrong guy to be in the strip club. Cause I might be in there motivating them to leave and shit. I'm it's like, what else you got going on?

SPEAKER_00

You could be going in there like Drake. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03

And plus I'm a comedian, so I find humor in everything. So I'll be in there like, damn, she just put that dust all in dude's face with him, click clacking them the motherfucker. Like she just pulled dust all in buddy face. But here's the thing though. So I was intrigued by the number of strip clubs, but there was something else that piqued my interest in Portland. So I decided not to go to the strip club. While I was Googling, I discovered that they have something called 24-7 lingerie lounges. Kennedy, cover your ears. I went to a 24-7 lingerie lounge, can beat. I'm looking it up. Sir, I never heard of such a thing. I'm like, what is a 24-7 lingerie lounge? I went to a website. I saw some very beautiful young ladies on this website. The website gave you not only the women, but it told you the shifts and the hours that they worked because it's a 24-hour spot. Some of these heifers was working doubles. I mean, some of them was working from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. I was like, well, goddamn, like 24 hours. They said at all times there's at least two girls working. So I was like, two girls? What? How does this work? I'm confused. So after looking online, I said, let me just call. Called up there, got an automated voicemail. Voicemail was telling me kind of what the situation is, you know. So you don't get to talk to a person, it's automated. So you can make an appointment to go, or you can just, they say walk-ins are welcome as well. I'm kind of curious, can't beat. So I don't know. It's like maybe my fourth day out there in Portland, chilling in my hotel. I'm like, well, how much does this cost? You know what I'm saying? They said it starts at 180. And I was like, okay. So, but I'm curious. I'm out of town. I'm like, man, I didn't blew money out of a strip club before. I can at least go to a 24 hour seven lingerie lounge and for research purposes. And not bullshit, but true research purposes. I'm a comedian, I'm traveling, I might get material, so I'm like, let me go. So, Cam Beats, I went to a place called PDX Barbies.

SPEAKER_00

That is what did I just pull up? I'm on PDX Barbies website right here.

SPEAKER_03

All right.

SPEAKER_00

I'm I'm cold at this.

SPEAKER_03

Would you like to hear about my experience at PDX Barbies?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I'm looking at the schedule here. I'd like to know what schedule to shoot. There's a day shift and there's a night shift. Yes. All right.

SPEAKER_03

I can tell you what time I went. I'm a night owl.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

So I went about one in the morning.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Now I did my research before I went. Because if I'm gonna go and spend this money, what?

SPEAKER_00

So I see the night shift list. There's a list of women that you could choose from. Yes. So there's Jasmine and Anastasia.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, no, no, no. Let me, I'm gonna I already I I see, please see Paris.

SPEAKER_00

Paris, okay, I see Paris.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, see Paris, okay. Um, so I had done my research, and there were two that I was interested in seeing at work. Now, the one that I want to see at work, she was not working. And I was like, damn, damn, damn, but Paris was scheduled to work. So I said, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go over there while Paris is. Okay? So Cam Beats, I get taken there by my lift driver. This is not John, because John probably would have, probably wouldn't have been okay with me going there. So when you get to PDX Barbies, you see the sign, you see the lights, you hear some music, but there's no bouncer at the door, Cam Beats. There was no bouncer. There was a doorbell. I had to ring the doorbell. When I rang the doorbell, the door opened. I walked in, there was a young lady who greeted me. Now, I'm gonna tell this story a certain way, because I do have a joke now based on this that I told while I was in Portland, and the shit went over very well. So I don't know if I should give you the joke form of what happened or the real form of what happened. What do you think, can't be?

SPEAKER_00

Um, I think the real form might be as funny as the joke. Nick, Nick back here. Shout out to my cameraman Nick. Nick, but we're back here looking at the website. Harris astonishingly looks very close to Maya.

SPEAKER_03

No, she does not. We're not going there.

SPEAKER_00

She looked.

SPEAKER_03

We're not going there. We're not going there. We're not doing that. I don't know. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. Nico, we're not doing that. What do do you do you guys think I should should I do the give y'all the the raw story or should I should I give y'all the the comedic version of it?

SPEAKER_00

Let's give it let's get the raw story. Okay. Dorians open.

SPEAKER_03

Gia opens the door. Okay. Let me look for Gia. You can look at Gia. Let me look for her. Gia has on, I can't remember exactly what she had on, but I know she had on some damn house shoes. And I was like, what are those? She's wearing slippers. And my eyes was like, where is Paris at? Paris must have been asleep. Because remember, they work 24, she was tired. She probably was tired. She sleep. So Gia walks me in. There's an ATM machine right there. I said, yo, how did this work? She said, Is this your first time here? I said, it is. She said, well, it's 180 to start. I said, what all does 180 entail? Cam Beats, what this essentially is, is if you've been to the strip club, you've heard of the boom boom room, right? Yes. This bypasses the general strip club of, you know, throwing money at people and they walking by and you like my dance? No. You got you bypass all of that. This takes you to the experience of one-on-one, if that makes sense, okay? Yes. So she says, for 180, it's gonna be me and you in the room. And I'm like, where's Paris?

SPEAKER_02

Where is Paris at?

SPEAKER_00

Um, is Gia is Gia like uh the background dancer, backup dancer? She don't have a picture. I'm not I'm not finding. Gia was on the website, they took her down, maybe she left.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. Because Gia does some other things in life. Me and Gia had a real conversation. She may have moved on into her other visions. I don't know. But needless to say, Gia was attractive as well. She just wasn't the girl I really thought was gonna be there. But anyway, she says it's 180 to start. I say, what all comes with this start? She basically is like, well, you know, I got this lingerie outfit. I'm gonna dance for you. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna give you a lap dance, give you some, you know, give you some good action. But there's other tiers that go other places. So I'm like, Yeah. So I go to the ATM because I don't have no cash on me, and they only take cash, and you know they're gonna have you that damn surcharge. Okay, cool. Get some bread out. And she's like, all right, follow me. So we go into, you know, in the background you hear soft little music playing. I think Sierra Body Party was playing, so I'm like, okay. We go into the little room, you know, she's like, you take your jacket off, you can chill. I sit on the couch, she leaves, she comes back in. So she like, before I get started, do you have a preference in music? Because I gave her the 180. Because I asked what was the next tiers. She started mentioning things like toys and butt plugs. Now, I'm not that kind of freak guy. Okay? That's that's not really, that's not really my forte, can't beats. I'm not really that guy. But she offered those things on another tier, and I said, nah, let me get whatever you're gonna do for this 180. Let me get this little cheap ass, punk ass 180. So she asked, Do you have a preface in music before I get started? Now I told you what she had playing in the background, right? Yes. So I said, Hey, I'm on kind of whatever you want. I said, You got some little RB playing in the background, I'm chill. Like, you can you can lick that rock. I ain't tripping on the music. She's like, Are you sure? I said, Yeah. She said, okay. This heifer proceeds to hit play on her Spotify playlist. Some French rap came on. Like, some fucking French rap.

SPEAKER_00

French? Like France?

SPEAKER_03

Fonsuet, mou oui, French rap.

SPEAKER_00

Tony Parker, motherfucker. Victor Wimbayamba. I was gonna say Victor, Victor Wimbiyah.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I'm like, what? She's like, oh, I'm sorry, I had, you know, I had recently I went to I had gone to France. I'm like, okay, switch this shit. She turns to another record. Man, I believe, what the fuck, Meatloaf or Foreigner, some shit like that came on. For those who don't know who Meatloaf and Foreigner is, this is a very popular rock. Bob, you know who Meatloaf and Foreigner are, don't you? It's classic garage. Yes, from like the 80s. This is not what the fuck I want to hear while somebody is putting a gyro on me.

SPEAKER_02

I'm like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_00

Wait, this is the raw story or the or the comedic story. This is the real story.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not even giving you the jokes yet. This is real.

SPEAKER_03

This ain't none of the jokes. I'm sitting on the couch with a noodle.

SPEAKER_01

You know, Kennedy cover years. I'm sitting in here with a gummy worm.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I'm like, I'm getting robbed with no pistol. Like, this is 180? Mind you, this heifer ain't never take the slippers off. And while you were listening to Billy Joe, a carabin, Quick, I would have rather that. I look to the left, the glass, you know they got the glass, you know they wear the glass heels. The glass heels is laying over there. She got on the house shoes. I'm looking like, what the fuck for 180? I don't get the shoes. But remember, they work long shifts. Her feet probably hurt. She had been there all night. So we getting the dance. She's doing her thing. Then she's talking, asking me questions. What you doing on here? What you? I do comedy. Are you a comedian? Yeah, I'm getting material right now. So we talking, you know. She's like, oh, what's your favorite city you've been to? Like, where you been yet? You know, we just kind of talked a little bit of everything. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, then she alludes to, well, you know, for that next tier. I got some toys. I said, Yeah, I heard you. I heard you the first time. I heard you the first time. Then she mentioned that, well, there's a couple things over here, but I ain't using those. I said, Well, what do you mean? I said, you said if I'm paying, you playing. Now, if I asked you to put that football up your ass, you put that. You hype that. There was no football, but I didn't want her to do nothing else. I got we got the little dance, you know, the little conversation. She tried to upsell me a couple things.

SPEAKER_00

I'm looking at I'm looking at her picture here. She's not really doing it for me.

SPEAKER_03

Just listen, man. I love our sponsorship. I don't know if I should go into more. If you find yourself needing an injury attorney, I suggest you call my boy Russ Nicolay Law. You get the beer, you get the win. If you're out out of town and you somehow slip on some baby oil while a dancer got on, I like to move it, move it. You might need an injury attorney. And I think that you should call Nicolay Law. That's 1-855-N-I-C O-L-E-T. Nicolailaw.com. They'll get you a win and they make insurance companies pay. Or if you're a stripper and you accidentally twist your, I don't know, you know, Russ might be able to take that case if you can't, you know. There were some other things that were offered, and she told me that there's some other things that people do while they are there if they're inclined to do so. And I was just like, I'm cool. So when the little routine ended, mind you, it's 30 minutes, by the way. I don't know if I mentioned that. You get 30 minutes with the girl. So, you know, she asked if I wanted to upsell, and I was like, no, I'm cool, you know what I'm saying, on those things. And um, you know, I said, is there a restroom where I can wash my hands? And, you know, went and washed my hands. She walked me to the door. She said, Well, hey, I hope you have a nice enjoyment in Portland. Enjoy the rest of the stay. And and I went on my way. And that was my experience at a 24-7 lingerie lounge. You know, so overall I had a good time. But I learned that besides the weed and stuff, Portland is a very like out there city. Like when it comes to sexuality and love and I wouldn't have guessed that. That's the same thing. With a lot of shit. Like, even while I was leaving, I had gone to the Blazer game. When I was leaving the game, there was like a QR code for these flyers. There was some type of like a nude uh, I can't remember if it was like a documentary or something. Like you can scan the QR code to get tickets to this thing. So there's a lot of like, yeah, man, love, man, sex, man, open. Like, they, you know, they they they they with whatever you went in Portland. You know what I'm saying? Like, they don't judge in Portland. Like, your pronouns is good, your sexuality is good out there, your weed is good. Like, they ain't really tripping. Um, they don't fuck with uh uh the president of the United States, but they pretty much open with now again. I can't speak for Oregon, like, because you know I like we speak for Milwaukee, we can't speak for Wisconsin. Um Portland itself is very like open and experimental. Now I don't know what the rest of Oregon is, but in the city, you know what I'm saying, it was it was very open. And know it is not a very uh culture city as far as like ethnicity, but I will say this a lot of people show love and it was good energy and good vibes. Like nobody made you feel uncomfortable. Like the festival that I did was an all-black festival, obviously, but they had people other than ethnicities working and managing the club and things like that. And everybody was very, it's an inclusive city. That's what I should say. If you're into inclusivity, it is a very inclusive city. So shout out to everybody.

SPEAKER_00

I should have actually told you about the food truck.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I did. I did the so that's a big thing out there. Everything is they call them food pods, not food trucks. The food pod scene. I did go to a place called Wonder Love, but again, when the weather's not the greatest, being outdoors ain't the vibe. Wonderlove is a spot. You go to Portland, check out Wonder Love. It got a lot of different um food pods or food trucks, whatever you want to call it. It's like in one area. And I tried this place. Man, I wish I knew the name of it. This breakfast place. That shit was slapping. Um, but yeah, it's a lot of like outdoor stuff. So if you want to quick grab food off a food truck or food pod, that's very popular out there for sure. I did eat a nice seafood spot though. That was a real dope. Uh Jake's, which is downtown Portland. That was pretty dope. Went to the Nike store because you know Nike is Portland. Nike's based in Eugene, which is that far. Uh, but the Portland headquarters, Nike's out there. So a lot of shit out there. Well, something else that happened while I was in Portland that I want to talk to you about. Shout out to my brother AD. He had called me while I was out there. And I don't know how this happened, but we randomly was on the phone while I was in my telly and I didn't answer my phone a lot while I was out there. Um, because I was going, I was out there working trying to lock in. But my mom or certain people I will answer for. And he called me and we just talking while I was in my hotel room. And I don't even know how our conversation, this conversation started, but you know, we love hip hop, we love the culture, so we're talking music. And somehow the conversation shifted to instead of talking about your favorite albums, or you know, we always do these top five lists. We went on this tangent about artists that we love and music that we love, but instead of picking your favorite albums from an artist or a group, what is an album that you will remove from their catalog? Like, what's the least favorite project that they have, or maybe the weakest project that they have, or just one that you like, that and the songs can get the fuck out of here forever. So we did this thing where we was like, what's an album that you will remove from a catalog and that you can never listen to it or its songs ever again? You a big hip hop dude, Cam Beast, we talk music all the time. So I was like, I gotta bring this past you. So the criteria is the artist or group has to have at least five projects because they gotta have somewhat of a catalog for us to do it for. So at least five projects. It cannot be a soundtrack. Because I tried to keep for I try to cheat for Kendrick. I tried to do Black Panther soundtrack. Soundtracks don't count, collaboration albums don't count, mixtapes don't count. So it has to be official studio releases and like deluxe and shit don't count. Because he AD was like, what about Blueprint 2.1? I'm like, that shit don't count, bro.

SPEAKER_00

So is that like a that's that's like a mix tip to it?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that was like a uh what you call it, a um a deluxe or whatever, or like a reissue or something. So that's the criteria. So the artist had or group has to have at least five joints, and you know, it can't be the side projects or whatever, or the cloud projects, just their projects, and you have to, you can't go, well, I want to keep it because I like that. Nah, that project has to go.

SPEAKER_00

So the song and everything that is on that project has to go forever.

SPEAKER_03

We can't rock with it no more. So, Cam Beats, we are gonna start this off with the same artist that he and I'll be like.

SPEAKER_00

I'm playing with you. I'm playing with you, and this is this is Yes. Okay, I'm ready.

SPEAKER_03

He is my favorite MC. I believe he's your favorite MC. He's here. Mr. Nazir, Escobar, Godson Jones.

SPEAKER_00

So pick one album out of his whole discography that I can do without that has to get the fuck out of here forever.

SPEAKER_03

So here's how we and AD was doing it. Now, we have one of his albums here in the studio. Of course, Ilmatic is a classic. Some here's the thing. It got harder when we got to artists with smaller categories. I mean, excuse me, smaller, uh smaller catalogs. It got harder because he was trying to figure out, and then obviously, like if you have special uh ties or things, moments, and you know, special things that make you think of these albums or people, it was hard. But for Nas, we looked at it like this. This guy's career has phases. Nas was the guy in the 90s, he still was around the 2000s, he has had a renaissance in the 20s, you know what I'm saying? A collaboration project with Hit Boy. He's still going. So for him, it was hard to pick. Um but I'll tell you quickly before we do ours, the album that AD said needed to get the fuck out of here forever for Nas. He said that the album that could go was Nasir. The project that Nas and Kanye did together.

SPEAKER_00

Well, Kanye?

SPEAKER_03

Um He said that could get the fuck out of here forever. And I was like, You ain't like Cop Shot the Kid with Slick Rick? He was like, that can go. Oh I like the record Bonjour that was on there. That was uh Tony Williams, uh Kanye cousin. That was dope. It was it's a forgettable project. It is, and you know, we love Nas and we're not shitting on none of these artists and none of these people, but we just talking music. So now I'm I when we did this, I'm gonna be honest with you, full transparency. We did no Googling, we did this shit all off the cup of our heads. Now you are my producer, obviously, you have a computer in there, I have a phone. If we need to, we got homies in the studio. We need to reference people for it for help, we can. But initially we did it just off the top of our heads, trying to remember as much catalogs as we could and albums as we could.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

It turned into rapping bars, hooks, different things to jog our memories. But you and I both know Nas very well. So we're talking all the way from Ilmatic. Uh the collab album with Primo is excluded. We are going from shut up. We're going from Ilmatic all the way to you can say King's Disease 3. No, what was the last one? Magic. I think Magic 3 was the last. Was that the last one, Bugs, with uh Hitboy?

unknown

Yes, it was.

SPEAKER_03

So we can we can we can go all the way from Ilmatic to Magic 3.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

With Nah. So we're not doing lost tapes. Okay, so for you know, context, Lost Tapes doesn't count. Uh the Brave Hearts album don't count, Queen Spine's don't count, like stuff like that. Uh the album with uh The Marley doesn't count so distant distant relatives. Right, those don't count. We're talking his solo albums.

SPEAKER_00

All right, it's between two. Tell me where you're leading. Well, hip hop is dead is one. Um and is it it's called Nas or is it?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it was that was supposed to be the n-word album.

SPEAKER_00

It's the n-word album, so yeah. It's between those two. And at that point in Nas career, I felt that he was reaching for something. I don't know what he was reaching for. I wasn't feeling those. So I'm not gonna put both of them out. But if I were, I'd probably be nah, it would probably be Nas. The N-word.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, hip-hop is dead, gotta stay, bro. To me, like hip hop is dead. Dude, like hip nah, hip-hop is dead, definitely. That's the first time him and Jay ever collaborated.

SPEAKER_00

That's the only well, that's what's keeping it together.

SPEAKER_03

But remember, like, remember so I'm saying, like, certain songs can save an album. So for me, hip-hop is dead, the hip-hop is dead record was dope to me. The Black Republicans was dope. The song Hustles with Him and Game is on there. That was dope.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Still Dreaming with Kanye is on that album. That's dope. Like, um, Hold Down the Block was a dope record. Um, yeah, man, I no, hip-hop and hip-hop is again sentimental reason. That album, yeah, like like the the the space I was in that time in life, yeah, hip-hop is dead stage for me. But okay. Now, for the N-word album, there's nothing. It's called Untitled. I'm sorry, it was Untitled.

SPEAKER_00

It's Untitled, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But originally it's supposed to be the N-word album. Okay, for that album, I I will say that is one of his, it is one of his lesser projects, but I do still think there were some dope records on there, but I understand why you are leaning towards that.

SPEAKER_00

So those are your two that you're leaning towards? I'm gonna go untitled because there's nothing on there that jogs my memory that I would miss if I never heard it again.

SPEAKER_03

Fair. And it's GGG Free Bottom without even looking at anything.

SPEAKER_00

I just I looked at the list of the names. I'm like, yeah, I don't. When I saw it.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, you cheated, you looking?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because I don't remember. I don't, I never, I never really I think I made a list to it the first time it came out and never went back to it.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, I I I'll admit I bought that album, and I'm gonna tell you a record that stands out. DJ Toom produced the I'm a he's in Don't You Wanna Be a Two. Um, and that record was super hard to me. And um Toomp had them drums and the hi-hats on it, and and and AD was like, that song alone saved that album. He was like, Yeah, that shit was hard. So I like that record a lot. It is one of his, like I said, that that's the album with Hero with Carrie Hilson. Polo D'Andon made the hero joint for him, and they used it for Batman. Um, what's the Batman movie that came out that year? The one with Christian Bell. They used it in a promo, Nas Hero and Batman, whatever. So again, it is one of his lesser albums. I will admit that. But I personally, would you like to hear what I think can get the fuck out of here? Uh, can I guess? Go ahead. And you know I'm a Nas fan.

SPEAKER_00

I think. Oh, you're talking about Dark Knight, the Batman movie. Yeah, the hero. Yeah, they used it. Yeah. Um, I'm gonna say Street Disciple. You know me well.

SPEAKER_03

Street Disciple would have been great if it wasn't a double disc. If Street Disciple would have just been one album and you shave some of the fat off of it, I think, but here's why Street Disciple can't go.

SPEAKER_00

Bro, Thief's theme is on Street Disciple. Street's theme is, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Hey, bro. Hey, Thief's theme is hard. The video alone, him with the ski mask on, him walking through New York, they doing push-ups and shit in the warehouse. Like, Thief's theme is on there, bro. Um, is Book of Rhymes in that one? Book of Rhymes is on God, sir. Okay. Uh, Street's Disciple is just a moment with Quan. Uh, and this is off the top of my head. Just a moment with Quan, Know My Style, Street's Disciple, the song, Street Disciple, uh uh uh Thief's Thing, Suicide Bown Subusted Rhymes, uh, remember the times with uh he still was married to Khaleese at this time. That's also no one, no other one in the room with Maxwell. Um, again, you gotta be a real, real Nas fan to know that album. It's not like a really popular project from him.

SPEAKER_00

It's not, but I can't remember. There was something that was similar to in a book of rhymes. It was something similar to that on that album that I like.

SPEAKER_03

Well, that's also the album with the one with him, his pop.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah, sure. Bridget the Gap.

SPEAKER_03

Bridget the Gabb is on that album. And also one of my favorite songs on that album that is very underrated. He's there's a song called War, where he basically talks about how when he had uh his first daughter and the war is a great record. So that's I I would I would leave that album alone. So again, that's one of the albums where I feel like I almost was willing to pull it. But like I said, Thief's thing is one of the hardest songs Nas ever made.

SPEAKER_00

Was it remember the times where his comments?

SPEAKER_03

Remember the times where we're talking about our chicken smashed.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that was like that. That reminded me of Book of Rhymes. That's what it reminded me.

SPEAKER_03

That beat was hard, though. Yeah. It might have been an Alchemist beat. Um, so yeah, so I'm I'm torn. I almost pulled it could have been a it could have been a single album. It could have been a single beat. If it's a single album, it's a better album. But as far so that's what I was leaning towards. But I'm with you on the untitled album. I I purchased it. I purchased Street Disciple 2. But when AD mentioned that Nasir album, that shit is very forgettable. So if it's any Nas album that can get the fuck out of here forever, it would be untitled for me as well.

SPEAKER_00

I I think I agree. Because Nasir I could still deal with because it was still a tinge of Kanye that I liked in his production. Although it was a little sloppy. That was the thing I didn't like. It felt sloppy. Um, there was rumors that Kanye had taken some beats from some people. Um he definitely took the one, what's the one that you liked?

SPEAKER_01

The Bonjour Record?

SPEAKER_00

The Bonjour record. He he apparently took that beat from uh man, I forget the dude's name. He a West Coast dude. Um but he apparently had that same beat and he just kind of it would same loop everything and he he borrowed it. Okay, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_03

Did I just did I say Nazir get it out of here or did I say untitled?

SPEAKER_00

You said untitled. I did? Yeah. You meant Nazir?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, Nazir can get the fuck out of here. I think it's fair to table it with these three, because if we keep going, I don't even know where we're at on time today. And that we we way over time. We're at like an hour and a so sometimes, somebody, so whose job? Y'all, everybody fired, because like nobody keeping time today, motherfuckers just letting us go. Y'all all fucking fired. Hey, like it's my job. I'm coming up in the moment. You know what I'm saying? Like, Nick in there matching sweaters with you and shit. Y'all ain't even locked, y'all locked in in outfits and not on time.

SPEAKER_00

We're brothers who were happiness and we're seeing and we're talking.

SPEAKER_03

Coming with the before and the after of each other and shit. Like, what is going on? But no, we definitely, this is I think this is a reoccurrence segment we can do. Yeah. I think this is dope, you know, to get the fuck out of there with an album. And let's stay with the hip hop first. Then I think we can do RB. Um we can go different places with it. And when we get some people in the studio, I think. Yeah, we can do that with other guests, and obviously we're even with some artists, we can maybe try to see if they pick their own project. What can you remove from your own catalog? So even when it comes to film, if we really get deep into movies, you can do that with directors because Spike Lee is like my dude, and it'll be super tough to say which Spike Lee movie has to get the fuck out of here forever.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I got one. Shit.

SPEAKER_03

Don't go say Chirac.

SPEAKER_00

No, whatever the last one he just did with Denzel.

SPEAKER_03

No! This was you didn't like highs to lows when it's at Rocky and what the whole room is turned against you, bro.

unknown

Nah.

SPEAKER_03

You and your own fam.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Denzel. And we said Bobby Shop. See, you took it too far now, Eddie. You didn't you didn't go too far now, Eddie. You have to take that back.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Denzel owed Spike some money or something. That was that was weird. It was some weird shit.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, you know what? You do know it as a remake, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I do. Okay. ASAP was terrible. Terrible acting. What is it? Uh-uh. I thought I thought it. Go back to making babies with her. He can go back to making babies with Rihanna. That's what he can do. Yeah. That's what he can do.

SPEAKER_03

I thought he did y'all think he was solid?

SPEAKER_00

He wasn't convincing.

SPEAKER_03

I thought the movie was solid, bro. Dude, I thought the movie was solid, bro. I didn't think it was a bad, I didn't say it was a great movie, but I didn't think it was a bad film.

SPEAKER_00

Out of Denzel. Um, okay. Out of Denzel's package, there he go.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I mean, but if we come on, man. Okay, so he said if we're talking like what Denzel movie gonna get the fuck out of here, like, that's not it. Uh, how about Quinn? The the shit from some of his shit from the 80s can get the fuck out of here. That was actually pretty good. Man, if we being real, some of his shit from the 80s get the fuck out of here. You picking Ricochet?

SPEAKER_00

And Ricochet was cool. Come on, man. You ain't keeping that over his catalog. Don't pick Ricochet. Fuck you.

SPEAKER_01

No, not even you can do that. Don't went deep. What? Hey, what's the one he got the fake accent?

SPEAKER_00

The fake accent. It's the movie with a terrible Caribbean accent. Yeah, he's supposed to be in Jamaica. I can't say.

SPEAKER_03

Come on, man. The preacher's wife stays.

SPEAKER_00

I forget who I'm talking to. Fuck you. Don't be knowing all this shit. Hey, Ice T was in Ricochet. That was that. Hey, back then that's when the hip hop started getting into real movies and shit.

SPEAKER_03

Hold on, wait. Who's this? Blanche's hot. Black she's cool.

SPEAKER_01

That's not breaking, is it? Wait, is that breaking?

SPEAKER_00

You talking about when Iced D was breakdancing?

SPEAKER_01

No, Ice T was a DJ and he was commentating everything. Was that breaking?

SPEAKER_03

I don't think don't know just YouTube that shit. Hey, somebody watching will be like, Ice T was on something else besides Law and Order?

SPEAKER_00

Like, oh shit. Hey. Ice T's catalog is vast. He's been around since 80.

SPEAKER_03

Listen, Ice T went from colors to being a cop. Just say that. The brother went from colors to being a police officer. You know what I'm saying? Like, Ice T's career is legendary. Like, dude, random, sidebar. My pops got to be on an episode, a law and order, and sent me a picture of him and Iced T. What is that? My pops' name is T. So my pops go by T and he's Iced T. So it was like T and T. I said, what the heasy? Um, my pops was on set. He wasn't even supposed to be in the episode. The shit was crazy. They were shooting a boxing episode. My pops is a boxing trainer. He's in New York. Obviously, they shoot the show in New York. My pops goes down to the gym. I don't know if he was down there supporting somebody that he knew or whatever. And my dad is a very loud dressing person. He stands out in the room. He wears a lot of jewelry. He had on a black suit, sunglasses, like he's very loud. And they were basically like, you sir, get in this scene. So my pops in. You look important. My pops, listen, he had a scene, he didn't have lines, but he actually is in the episode where he has to do something. There's some illegal betting going on basically in a boxing match or whatever, and it's a uh there's a police officer doing some side boxing. My pops is at the match, they put the camera on him, he goes in his pocket, he grabs out the money, he passed the money, the dude takes the money. Like my pops has a scene, but no lines. That's dope. Yeah, and then he sends me a picture, and it's him and Ice T sitting together on set. And I was like, this dude. Yep. So my pops is on a season of uh Law and Order. This aired like maybe 45 years ago, but yep. So I had to watch it on Hulu because I didn't catch it live, and I paused it and took a screenshot and sent it to him. I said, look at this dude.

SPEAKER_00

There's literally maybe 4,500 episodes of that damn show. So you gotta get the exact episode.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, because he was on episode.

SPEAKER_00

There were some other things I was gonna talk about. We just gonna table it because my brain is all over the place.

SPEAKER_00

Good shit, good shit.

SPEAKER_03

But in the midst of all this foolishness and craziness, um, you know, I like to try to close things out, you know, with some positivity. We got a lot of craziness going on in our personal lives and in this world. We all need more love, we need more compassion, more understanding, more laughter. Hopefully, we brought that to you on this episode. But I'm gonna close out with a positive quote for today. Shout out to my assistant Kennedy, she sent this one to me. And today's positive quote says, the mindset you carry shapes the life you create. Once again, the mindset that you carry shapes the life that you create. So be careful with your thoughts, be careful how you speak to yourself, be careful the words that you say to other people. You know, you can speak life into yourself or you can speak deaf into yourself. So definitely be careful of your mindset and your mentality because if you think positive things, you say positive things, they will come to fruition.
