• 0:14Speaker 03

  We're back, baby! Yeah! Listen, we got beef. We got beef. Finally, we got a beef worth responding to. Finally. All these little peons on the internet talking shit. I don't give them no love, but this guy right here. What? What do you mean, what happened? Have you not, you know, been listening to music lately? I've heard, I've heard some. There's a pretty big thing going on. Yeah, between Kendrick Lamar. Laws were written. Laws were written. Laws were written. I don't like him pretending he doesn't know what the fuck's going on. With his little milk mustache. It's just been pissing me off. Okay? Is it on there? Now, listen, no, guys, we gotta take this serious. Listen, rappers are telling comedians we need to be more respectful of women. So we gotta really, we gotta sit back and reflect. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

• 0:59Speaker 03

  They're the most pious group. Listen, nobody has respected women more.

• 1:05Speaker 03

  You through art. Yes. Than rappers. Okay? Absolutely. So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, "Yo, y'all need to switch that shit up." Yeah, yeah, yeah. "How dare y'all keep saying your wives are annoying." "Be more like us and, you know, bitches ain't nothing but hoes and tricks. I beat my bitch with a stick, what?" "You can lick on the nuts or suck the dick. I beat my bitch with a stick, what?" Did you just think of that? That's a real lyric. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's a real lyric from music that protects women. And for decades protects women. And listen, listen, right now, the guy on top. Who? Kung Fu Kenny. He is the guy on top. He is the guy on top. He is making sure, he is making sure that comedians, he put a law in. Yeah.

• 1:50Speaker 03

  He put a law in place. All right, let's see the exact line, okay? Don't let no white comedian talk about no black woman, that's law. Now technically speaking, if we're going off of grammatic English. Okay. He is saying, "I can talk about black women," and that's law. Don't let no white comedian talk about no black woman. So he's basically saying, "All white comedians..." Are only allowed to... "...talk about black..." Exclusively. That's what I'm talking about, Kendrick! That's what I'm talking about! It's a law. Finally, he understands it. It's a law. Now I understand why he's doing a comedy with the South Park creators. Ah, that makes sense. Because he appreciates white comedians that make fun of black people. There you go. And they've done that brilliantly for decades. Yeah, that's true. And he would never want to, you know, break one of his own laws. No, that's true. I mean, didn't they have a character called Token on the South Park show? Yeah, they do.

• 2:34Speaker 03

  Which I'm sure Kendrick is a big fan of. That's true. He must be a big fan if he's going to do a comedy with them. I mean, we can look that up. Apparently, he has a comedy coming out. Yep, yep, that's fact. But, but, but, but, Al, but, Al. Al, Al, you're getting groomed right now, we need to un-groom. Yeah. We need to un-groom right now. Let's see. I mean, listen, because he sent people, he says, "Slide on..." What did he say? Slide on... Where's the line? Where's the line? He goes... Let me get it. I'm so old, I had to squirm my eyes. And that was not a racist joke.

• 3:07Speaker 03

  Okay, "The N-words that coon, the N-words that being groomed, slide on both of them." Whoa, that seems like a call to violence. It does. Why would he call to... If he's about protecting black people, why would the call to violence be towards the black dudes, not the white guy making the joke? Well, you gotta understand... What? No, no, no, you gotta understand... Because I snitch. I cooperate. I tell. Yeah, litigation. Okay? You will squabble up in a jail cell. Here's what you gotta understand about Kendrick. He is very... It's very important to him to protect black women. That's why he's never done a song with an abuser confirmed. He's never done a song with anybody that's... Thank God. That's suspected of abuse. He's never threatened to remove his music from Spotify,

• 3:52Speaker 03

  because they removed R. Kelly's music, who for sure fucked and held captive underage black women. Hold on, hold on, hold on. This is all very important to Kendrick. Wait, wait, just let me understand what's going on here. Because I think that you're using sarcasm as a comedic device. It is, it is a comedic device. But you're so fucking smart right now that I don't know if you're serious or making jokes. Are you saying that Kendrick Lamar put it on wax that he is protecting black women from white comedians' jokes, but not the kidnapping, molestation, and...

• 4:19Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 4:20Speaker 03

  Of R. Kelly. And actually, in reality, he would take his own music off Spotify to protect R. Kelly?

• 4:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 4:26Speaker 03

  Someone who's kidnapped.

• 4:28Speaker 04

  A sexual predator, yeah.

• 4:29Speaker 03

  Black women?

• 4:30Speaker 04

  Oof, children.

• 4:31Speaker 03

  Are you saying that he's done songs with with other men who have potentially put hands on black?

• 4:36Speaker 04

  Not potentially, confirmed.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  Wait a minute, convicted?

• 4:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, I don't know what you call, uh, Chris Brown, but yeah, whatever that is.

• 4:43Speaker 03

  Not breezy. Not breezy. I took a picture with Chris Brown.

• 4:50Speaker 03

  Hey, bro, I took a picture with him immediately.

• 4:51Speaker 04

  Can I tell you something?

• 4:52Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 4:52Speaker 04

  We ain't protecting nobody. Y'all can protect your fucking selves.

• 4:56Speaker 03

  Everybody gets these jokes over here.

• 4:59Speaker 04

  Yo, this guy, this guy been telling me for a year straight, Indians fuck mud. What you gonna do?

• 5:04Speaker 03

  Listen, they going down on it, too. I've seen a lot of videos of them eating mud pussy, bro. If they literally put their head in the mud straight, reverse.

• 5:14Speaker 04

  Right.

• 5:15Speaker 03

  Back handspring.

• 5:15Speaker 04

  At least we're going down on them.

• 5:16Speaker 05

  I'm calling a suture.

• 5:19Speaker 04

  Hey, at least we go down, Jamaicans.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 5:22Speaker 05

  Oh, you better listen.

• 5:23Speaker 03

  Whoa. Whoa. What the bumbacloth is going on? Can't call out Jamaicans for something they're proud of?

• 5:30Speaker 04

  That's true. That's true. My bad. My bad.

• 5:33Speaker 03

  My bad. That's super racist. Al, can you, you know, speak on that as a Puerto Rican?

• 5:36Speaker 05

  I believe I can fly out this podcast right now. This is crazy, but keep cooking.

• 5:42Speaker 03

  Al, we have to protect you. They're trying to slide on you, bro. Whoa. They're trying to, this is nuts, dude. This is, and listen, you're distracting.

• 5:51Speaker 05

  That's their splish splash.

• 5:53Speaker 04

  More than a splish splash?

• 5:56Speaker 04

  I'm gonna be honest, these kids look Asian.

• 5:58Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, I mean.

• 5:59Speaker 05

  I mean, they.

• 6:00Speaker 04

  I mean, it's other Asians.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  I agree with you. I'm with you on that. Anyway, can we get back to something that's really important? Because there's a huge beef on the internet right now that we really need to address.

• 6:09Speaker 04

  That's true.

• 6:09Speaker 05

  Isn't there a beef?

• 6:11Speaker 03

  There's not, I don't think there's another beef, but you don't know.

• 6:14Speaker 05

  It's the only one I heard people talking about.

• 6:16Speaker 03

  You know, that, can I ask you guys a serious question?

• 6:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:18Speaker 03

  Because literally, we filmed a special this past weekend, and thank you guys so much for coming out. I really appreciate that. About to get into the edit, but, uh, yeah, you guys are amazing. And it was, thank you, thank you so much. Team killed it. You guys were fucking incredible, but, um.

• 6:34Speaker 03

  But, but, I, I, listen, I shut off my phone for the week, like, the week before, you know, Kendrick dropped his album, right?

• 6:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:41Speaker 03

  Every black person that texts or calls me is like, yo, Kendrick just took a shot at you on the album. Every white person, or Asian person, or Latino person that calls me is like, yo, good luck on your special. Okay?

• 6:52Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 6:53Speaker 03

  So, clearly, there was a separation in who was, you know, indulging in his content. Okay? So, I've been a little out of it. But I come out of the special, and it looks like there's so many articles about this album

• 7:07Speaker 03

  that are about, I, I don't, I don't want to, you know.

• 7:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, it was about you. You were trending on my Twitter.

• 7:12Speaker 03

  No way.

• 7:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, I didn't want to tell you, because you had things to focus on.

• 7:15Speaker 03

  What a time to be alive, where...

• 7:16Speaker 04

  I was not one of the Asians who said, "Good luck on your special."

• 7:20Speaker 03

  I'm just saying, I'm just saying. What a time to be alive, where rappers got to talk about comedians for clout.

• 7:26Speaker 04

  God bless, dude.

• 7:27Speaker 03

  Like, we are up right now.

• 7:28Speaker 04

  God bless.

• 7:29Speaker 03

  The biggest story about the album, outside of the album and people enjoying it, was a sub at a comedian? And you didn't even got to say my name, and it still makes headlines?

• 7:40Speaker 04

  It's crazy.

• 7:40Speaker 03

  You're welcome. You are, how many views did I give him, you think?

• 7:45Speaker 05

  A good chunk.

• 7:46Speaker 03

  A little chunk.

• 7:47Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 7:47Speaker 03

  They, they stole our mustard shit?

• 7:49Speaker 05

  Couple, couple million bucks.

• 7:51Speaker 03

  They stole our mustard shit?

• 7:52Speaker 05

  Take the honey off.

• 7:53Speaker 03

  We've been doing honey mustard for fucking years. Okay, they hop on that, dick riding?

• 7:58Speaker 05

  He'd be listening.

• 7:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 7:59Speaker 05

  He'd be listening.

• 8:00Speaker 03

  Of course he listens. Because he specifically, I think, was reacting to, in that Shits and Gigs podcast, which I think they're reacting to, I said something, I asked them if they dated, uh, black women, they were like, "Oh, we date all women," or whatever. And, uh, I was like, "Yeah, okay." And then, and then I go, uh, "Kendrick fans, get him."

• 8:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 8:19Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 8:20Speaker 03

  And that's all it took.

• 8:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:21Speaker 03

  That's all it took. And now Kendrick want to talk some shit.

• 8:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:26Speaker 03

  Okay, what'd you guys think of the album, though?

• 8:28Speaker 04

  I mean, I like it. Here's what I'll say about Kendrick, everybody knows I'm a fan, but like...

• 8:31Speaker 03

  He got some slappers on there.

• 8:32Speaker 04

  It's absolutely some slappers.

• 8:33Speaker 03

  Album's good. I went there trying to hate, and then I listened to it again this morning, and there was a few...

• 8:39Speaker 05

  There you go.

• 8:39Speaker 03

  Bro, crazy, spooky, scary, hilarious. I love his lefty gunplay, so anything he's on, that's fire.

• 8:45Speaker 04

  That whole song is crazy.

• 8:46Speaker 05

  All the samples are like...

• 8:47Speaker 03

  Nah, they killed it. It's, it's a good album, mother... Fuck you, though.

• 8:53Speaker 05

  Catching a stray on a slapper is fire.

• 8:56Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 8:57Mark Gagnon?

  It kills me and I love it at the same time.

• 8:59Speaker 03

  It's fire. But I don't, I don't like him threatening the violence. I don't like that. I don't like him telling people to slide on, on you guys.

• 9:07Mark Gagnon?

  I'm a civilian. I'm going to the cops too.

• 9:10Speaker 03

  What if it's too late? What if they fucking do something to you?

• 9:14Mark Gagnon?

  I mean, I don't leave my house.

• 9:15Speaker 03

  But my feeling is like, yo, Kendrick, I think, I feel like Kendrick is talking all his shit and for whatever reason, we just letting him talk all this shit.

• 9:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, because we, we decided we love him right now.

• 9:26Speaker 03

  I get it. I do get it, but at the same time, like.

• 9:29Speaker 04

  And I've always been a fan, but I also said this even in the Drake thing, when he, when he said the shit about, uh, your next show at the Bay, whatever he said, basically kind of like call to violence.

• 9:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:37Speaker 04

  Remember when Rick Ross got beat up? I was like, yo Kendrick, you gotta fall back on that call to violence shit.

• 9:43Speaker 03

  He's like Trump on January 6th.

• 9:44Speaker 04

  Yo.

• 9:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, you know what I mean? Like he's trying to get people to storm the Capitol a little bit.

• 9:50Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  He's trying to get people going out, get people going to Charlotte. That's dangerous rhetoric out there.

• 9:55Speaker 04

  Really?

• 9:56Speaker 03

  Whoa Kendrick, you know? Stand back, stand by. Stand back and stand by. He's not even saying that. He's saying get up in that ass. Yeah. But it is crazy. But, but I need Kendrick, I need you to do it Kendrick.

• 10:07Speaker 04

  You want, you want squabble up with Kenny?

• 10:09Speaker 03

  No, no. I mean, here's the thing. This is, this is the thing that is kind of funny about it is like, like first of all Kendrick's people and the gang affiliate, you know, everybody his security, they will kill me. They will destroy me. They'll find me in the street. They'll fucking cut me up. They'll shoot, they'll do whatever. I'm not a tough guy. Y'all would do, but just Kendrick, I would make love to him and there's nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar, I would make love to him and the only thing that he could do is decide if it's consensual or not. That's the only thing he could do. If it's me and Kendrick, if it's me or. You Kendrick, stupid.

• 10:50Speaker 03

  This isn't about physics. It's about physics. I don't even know if I'll get hard, but if we're in a cell, there's a chance that, that.

• 10:58Speaker 03

  If we're in a cell and we're bored and we done tattooing each other, whatever you're doing in the cell, and we ran out of board games and we did all the other things, we cleaned everything and I'm like, man, I might as well fuck you.

• 11:10Speaker 03

  There's nothing he could physically do to stop that. Besides, put his legs in the air and choose a position. Why you pulling this picture up, Mark? Why you doing this? Put him, put up that picture of him and Travis Kelsey's girl. Look at that shit. Oh my god, dude, that's unbelievable. Yo, I'll be honest, I would, I would go so far as to say, I don't think he could stop most people on the planet from having sex with him. Like, the only reason he got security is to stop people from having sex with him whenever he wants. Now, don't get me wrong, there's people who could fuck me against my will. I was in an elevator once with this drag queen and this motherfucker was like 6'5". And we're in the elevator and we're going down, I'm like, yo, if he wanted to take it, I gotta cause a ruckus or something like that, like. I gotta shit my pants, I gotta do something.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  I gotta do something for the style. He might enjoy it. I have no clue what they're into. But I know for, with Kendrick, that he, he's talking a lot of shit, but if it came down to it, I could put him on my lap, I could feed him a bottle. I could put him on my lap, I could feed him a bottle and make love to him if I wanted to and there's nothing he could do about it. I might not be hard, dick might just slap soft against his butt. But you could just beat him up, you know how to fuck him, right? No, no, no, no. We're not doing acts of physical violence over here, bro. That's, that's what he's called. This is an act of love. Oh, you're a passive. I'm saying, we, I could be romantic with him and there's nothing he could do about it. To the point, like, I think I'm so charming, he would just fall into it.

• 12:40Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? Like, I think he would just be so charmed, he would be like, damn, like, whap, whap, whap.

• 12:46Speaker 03

  This was, this was MLK's dream, right? Yes, for real.

• 12:52Speaker 03

  Listen, so this, so we need to figure this out. We need to figure, like, the only thing he could do is after I was finished, like, write some words that rhyme together about it. Oh, that album would be fire. And that would, oh my god. He can make some calls. He can make some calls. Yeah, you want to talk about another album called Damn.

• 13:14Speaker 03

  Sit down.

• 13:16Speaker 03

  Reincarnated. Ask how penetrated.

• 13:21Speaker 03

  Listen, but in all seriousness, we love Kendrick Lamar, our woke king. And, uh, and I think we're gonna do our best to abide by his. I don't know what his rules are about like me having sex with him if we're in a room together.

• 13:34Speaker 05

  I don't think he'd want that.

• 13:35Speaker 03

  We don't know.

• 13:37Speaker 05

  Well, I'm assuming.

• 13:38Mark Gagnon?

  We gotta wait about five years for him to make another album.

• 13:42Speaker 03

  That's right. There is a chance in five years he would make another album and the song about this is gonna be sensational. It's gonna be absolutely sensational. Don't you think?

• 13:54Mark Gagnon?

  He's gonna have some bars for you at the Super Bowl, watch.

• 13:59Speaker 03

  I mean, the irony that he's like, we need to protect women. And he's performing at the Super Bowl, which is literally the Super Bowl of beating the shit out of women, guys.

• 14:08Speaker 03

  This is the problem is like when you're on your way up, nobody looks at your hypocrisy because they want you to be on the throne so bad. Naturally, human beings, we all have this. Like we look at the, the number two and we're like, I see myself in you. Go out there, go get it. Once you're on the throne, all we see is hypocrisy. It's like Joe Biden with his son right now.

• 14:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 14:27Speaker 03

  Right? It's, you know, it's anytime the person is in power and clearly Kendrick is number one right now. Anytime he's out there, we're, now we're looking back at what he's done and we're like, oh, you're this woke guy, but then you really do shit with people that are completely inconsistent with what you say you care about. Maybe you're just using this as an identity to feed your narcissism and you can't just go out there and be a complete narcissist. So you're gonna masquerade as an altruist, someone who protects the community, but you only do it when it benefits you and you put out an album. Like where's all this love for black women when Kamala was running for president?

• 15:04Speaker 03

  Like, was he out there riding?

• 15:05Speaker 04

  Uh, she's Indian, apparently.

• 15:08Speaker 03

  Good ass point. Good ass point.

• 15:11Mark Gagnon?

  She locked up too many of his dudes, you know?

• 15:14Speaker 04

  That's true. What I hope is he's just a person who fucked up. Like, this is a line, it was a throwaway line, you should have thrown it away.

• 15:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, just say you weren't talking about me, that's the best thing you could do, Kendrick. Yo, I don't know who Schultz is. That guy is scary, stupid, hilarious, or whatever. Like, just say he's scary, and I don't know, I don't even know who he is. I never even heard of his comedy, I don't know anything about that guy. That was for someone else, that bar was for someone else. I think that's the smartest thing that he could do.

• 15:41Speaker 04

  Yeah, he don't want that.

• 15:41Speaker 03

  What you don't want to do is say my name. Well, it's hard to rhyme.

• 15:45Speaker 04

  Say my name three times, I'll feel like Candyman.

• 15:47Speaker 03

  That's fast. What rhymes with Schultz, though? Like, that's so hard to put into a song. Electric bolts.

• 15:52Speaker 04

  Oh, sick.

• 15:53Speaker 03

  Oh, that could be, that could be sick. That'd be kinda cool. Yeah. Yeah.

• 15:56Speaker 04

  What other things? Indianapolis Colts. Woo!

• 16:01Speaker 03

  John Smoltz.

• 16:02Speaker 04

  Lou Holtz.

• 16:03Speaker 03

  Woo! This rap shit is low-key easy. Here we are, thinking there's some geniuses, they're just rhyming some words together.

• 16:11Speaker 04

  That is very...

• 16:12Speaker 03

  And making shit up.

• 16:13Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's not that hard.

• 16:14Speaker 03

  Do you know what I mean?

• 16:15Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 16:15Speaker 03

  Fuck, go back to talking about Drake, how he's a fucking deadbeat dad. While you do songs with Future.

• 16:24Speaker 03

  My point is, the woke always get exposed. Are you gonna make a commitment to not making any more racial jokes? I'm gonna make a commitment right now, that if Kendrick wants to squabble up,

• 16:37Speaker 03

  I'm tongue-kissing him. Why, you don't have to do that. What the hell? What? I think you're married. What? What the fuck?

• 16:43Speaker 04

  Recon, man, just...

• 16:45Speaker 03

  What voice should I make him sing in? What, what song should I make? But listen, if we're in a jail cell... You gonna pull your back out, having to duck that look. Listen, if we're in a jail cell, low-key, if we're in a jail cell, right?

• 17:01Speaker 03

  And, and, and, and we're making, and we're making Sweet Love, you know? Because there's nothing he could do about it.

• 17:08Speaker 04

  I like that you're making it consensual sweet love. Can I say that?

• 17:10Speaker 03

  No, it's consensual sweet love. Because at a certain point in time, you realize there's nothing I can... I'm a... You know, he's a pillow. Why are you gonna jail himself for this? No, but I could use him as a pillow. That's what I could do. I could be like, yo, put your thighs at the end of my bed. I'm gonna rest my head on it while I go to sleep. And there's nothing he could do about it. Oh my god. His people, his people, his people could absolutely destroy me. I'm not a tough guy. But Kendrick, Kendrick, it could be a, not even, I would, I would use him as a whole body pillow. So I'd say, lay there rigor mortis, but I'm gonna put like, your legs in between my legs. Do you know how like pregnant women sleep? Like a waifu. That's your wife? He's my waifu. Absolutely. Hundred percent.

• 17:53Speaker 03

  Anyway, um, no, no, I had a point that I was just about to make with this. No, very serious point.

• 18:01Speaker 03

  It was a very serious point. You think I'm just talking about frivolous sex with Kendrick Lamar? It's how you think that we do on this podcast. It's incredibly serious?

• 18:08Speaker 04

  It's not frivolous sex. It's making sweet love.

• 18:10Speaker 03

  It's making sweet love. Buttercup. Only white comedians can make this joke, bro.

• 18:16Speaker 03

  They don't even know if we can, bro. It's a new law. Yeah, you should have said that. White comedians don't joke about fucking me in the ass. Like, I would have put that in the song. I didn't say I'd fuck him in his ass. Excuse me? I said I'd make him hold his thighs together tight. Make a little pussy out of that. Not put my dick where Doodo's marked. That's disgusting. That's gay also. Make a little thigh pussy for me. Just squeeze it tight.

• 18:38Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? I would do that. Put your legs up in the air, seawalk in the sky.

• 18:45Speaker 03

  And make a little thigh pussy for your boy. That's not gay. That's not gay. I need you like this. I need thigh pussy. But I need it today.

• 18:57Speaker 03

  Alright. Yes. This is, sit down, be humble. Okay? Alright, next. Come on. Come on. I'm just a good kid in a mad city. Guy, I'm just a good child in a mad city. It's fucking mad out here. Oh man. Come on. Like, you put the other A in it. That was good. Yes, because it's really mad. It's really... Mad, you know? Hey, man, Kendrick, we love you, bro, but love you.

• 19:28Speaker 04

  That's true. He loves you. That's love. This is all said with love, no malice.

• 19:32Speaker 03

  Yo, no malice. We love you, man. We wish you best of luck with all your future endeavors. Best of luck on top. It's hard being on top, my boy. It's hard being on top. On top of.

• 19:43Speaker 03

  Don't you do it. I was asking. Don't you do it.

• 19:46Speaker 04

  Easier than being on bottom.

• 19:48Speaker 03

  But I will say, as far as that line goes, we're gonna make fun of everybody. And that's just the reality of the matter is everyone gets these jokes. That's the ethos of the show. It's the ethos of the comedy that we do. And the second you start, and he just might not be aware of it. I don't know if he's doing it to sell records, or if he's doing it because he just thinks it rhymes, or it looks good, or he's taking advantage of like a viral moment, knowing that we'll react, and knowing the internet will react. But the reality is the second you make a group protected, everything else becomes racist. You're either racist to that group, or you're racist to everybody else. And when you make fun of everybody, that is the one beautiful thing that allows us to kind of come together and laugh at ourselves and each other. I've been very fortunate to travel the world, making fun of people of all different race, religions, cultures, to their face, everywhere around the world. That is.

• 20:33Speaker 03

  Everywhere. And they've had an incredible sense of humor about it. They're coming out specifically to see that happen. So it's not something that's ever gonna change, and maybe it's something that he'll learn, and maybe it's something that he'll start to understand a little bit more. He might just not know really anything about comedy. And I know that sounds crazy, but it just might not be his thing. And like, he might just have that knee jerk reaction, and he's just like, yo, this is wrong.

• 20:57Speaker 04

  And maybe it's the only clip that got sent his way.

• 20:59Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 20:59Speaker 04

  And if you only get sent one clip, then you're like, oh, fuck this guy. But yeah, I just, that was disappointing as a fan. I was like, ah.

• 21:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, because you never want, like, imagine the person in your friend group going, guys, guys, can we not talk about Asian men for a little bit? A little bit. Like, imagine one of your friends saying that.

• 21:15Speaker 04

  He's not my friend anymore.

• 21:16Speaker 03

  He's not my friend anymore. No, we are killing that motherfucker for the next three months. Remember that time where you were gay? That's where you say, remember you acted like a gay guy that time? And for three months, he's just getting destroyed. Out of the group chat. Yeah, immediately. So you don't want to be Kung Fu Karen. That is what ends up happening when you have this type of rhetoric. Now, being on top is different. Being on top is much harder. It's way harder to lead. It's easy to conquer. It's hard to lead. So, we hope you, uh, we hope you do the best with your reign. And if it's deserved, then it will be long. And if it's not deserved, then it will be short. And you're the one that decides that.

• 21:55Speaker 04

  That was very mature.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  Thank you very much. Hell yeah. Shout out Drake, though. Yeah, I mean, shout out Drake. Now, I almost feel like I should just say a bunch of things about Kendrick that aren't true to get it out the way now in case he tries to say shit about me. Oh. Like, you gotta, you gotta get there first. Strike first. Do you know what I mean?

• 22:19Speaker 03

  He's probably Al Qaeda. That's not true. I think he did nine eleven. Listen, you got, because he, he called Drake a pedophile, you know what I mean? So, it's like, I gotta call him shit.

• 22:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 22:29Speaker 03

  Ahead of time.

• 22:30Speaker 04

  Anything is better than suing. So, call him anything you want.

• 22:34Speaker 03

  He's a terrorist.

• 22:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's better.

• 22:37Speaker 03

  He's an amphibian. You're an amphibian.

• 22:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 22:40Speaker 03

  He could breathe underwater, man. He could breathe underwater. I bet you didn't know that about him.

• 22:45Speaker 04

  And on land.

• 22:49Speaker 03

  The live tour, the final show, Hawaii, Honolulu, December 21st. This is the last one. I can't believe we're even saying this. It's been almost two years of my life. Uh, yeah, it's just unbelievable. I'm looking forward to coming back out to Hawaii. All the boys coming. It's gonna be a wild time, man. We're gonna make that show extra, extra, extra special. You know how much love we got for you guys out there, man? Uh, yeah, I can't wait. The Blidesdale, the Bladesdale. We always say I fuck up the pronunciation, but you know the, the arena. Grab your tickets and we will see you there very soon. Peace.

• 23:25Speaker 04

  Also, guys, tour dates, uh, we got a lot more dates we're gonna announce soon for 2025. For 2024, the last show is December 4th. We sold out Long Island, uh, you know, shouts to Trump. You did your thing on that one. December 6th and 7th, this is the last weekend for me for the 2024. We're gonna be in Albany at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. Buy your tickets, akashsing.com before they sell out. Thank y'all. This has been so fucking cool. The ticket sales have like doubled. I am selling out, knock on wood, I don't know how many weekends in a row. It's been awesome. We've been adding shows. I'm so grateful to you guys. Thank you guys so much. I love y'all. I'll see y'all next week with announcements for 2025.

• 24:01Speaker 03

  What is going on with this Drake lawsuit?

• 24:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, Mark, please break this down, because on the surface, it seems embarrassing.

• 24:08Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's interesting. So it's technically not a lawsuit. Technically. Oh, whoa.

• 24:12Speaker 05

  Technically, it's not a lawsuit.

• 24:13Speaker 03

  It's a petition.

• 24:14Speaker 04

  Okay. Hey, that don't make it better.

• 24:16Speaker 05

  And it's not.

• 24:16Speaker 04

  Well, technically, that don't make it better.

• 24:19Speaker 05

  Yeah. Well, I think the headline is like, oh, Drake suing Kendrick Lamar, which is not really true.

• 24:24Speaker 04

  No, he's well, that.

• 24:25Speaker 03

  Headline is suing UMG.

• 24:27Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 24:27Speaker 05

  Right. But I think people commonly see is like, oh, he's suing Kendrick, da, da, da, which is technically, there's like, I don't know the exact terms. I can look it up. But basically, like, prejudicial, they're looking for documents.

• 24:37Speaker 03

  They're suing to get evidence. They're not suing. They're petitioning to get evidence so that they could build a lawsuit.

• 24:41Speaker 05

  To build a lawsuit if the evidence is there. Against UMG, and his attorneys are basically claiming that UMG was effectively boosting the streams on Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us record.

• 24:52Speaker 03

  And how would they do that?

• 24:53Speaker 05

  By basically giving it at a discount for the royalties.

• 24:56Speaker 03

  Can you explain how that works?

• 24:57Speaker 05

  So effectively, the way I understand it is that in order to run a stream, then whenever you do the stream from a platform, you have to pay the label.

• 25:06Speaker 03

  So Spotify would have to pay UMG?

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 25:08Speaker 03

  And then UMG sets the stream at a price?

• 25:11Speaker 05

  Correct.

• 25:11Speaker 03

  And what you're saying, or Drake is alleging, is that UMG gave a discounted price to Spotify?

• 25:17Speaker 05

  Correct.

• 25:18Speaker 03

  That made them play it more because it was more advantageous to them. They're like, oh, my God, I get 30% off. Let me just keep spinning this song.

• 25:25Speaker 05

  Correct. There's other allegations that people within Spotify that quote, "had a perceived loyalty to Drake" were fired.

• 25:34Speaker 05

  And so this was like an apparent effort to conceal the scheme.

• 25:39Speaker 05

  And then they also claimed that by boosting certain streams by one artist, because there's a zero-sum game, that it also devalued Drake's ability to organically get streams. So because Kendrick's stream is getting much more play because it's zero-sum, Drake is getting less play.

• 25:53Speaker 03

  Now, this is, this is quite interesting because there's another component to this. I don't know how true this is, but apparently Drake was in a contract negotiation with UMG.

• 26:06Speaker 03

  At the time. He had just delivered, I think, on his last contract, which was like $400 million.

• 26:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 26:12Speaker 03

  And now he's re-up and he's like, how do I get a $600 million contract?

• 26:15Speaker 04

  Well, whatever.

• 26:15Speaker 03

  And UMG, I think, was basically like, we don't want to give you even 400, we want to give you less.

• 26:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 26:21Speaker 03

  So I think he's alleging that they boosted this "Not Like Us" song. So that it could hurt Drake's stock, so that they would have a better negotiation for his upcoming album.

• 26:37Mark Gagnon?

  A lot of sports franchises do that.

• 26:39Speaker 03

  I was about to say, 100%. So like, you know, NFL players had a great year, he's about to re-sign, and all of a sudden a video comes out of him like doing coke with a hooker.

• 26:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 26:48Speaker 03

  And you could make the argument that the team holds on to that information, and then when it's time for contracts, they drop it.

• 26:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 26:56Speaker 03

  You've heard this.

• 26:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 26:58Speaker 03

  So that's, I think, that is, now, whether this is true or not, first of all, I mean, obviously, suing in a situation like this, you lose all street cred. Also, like, he's being called a pedophile in the song, but didn't he tell Kendrick to call him a pedophile in his earlier song?

• 27:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 27:17Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 27:18Speaker 04

  He also...

• 27:19Mark Gagnon?

  Wait, what do you mean?

• 27:20Speaker 03

  Like, he had a bar, like...

• 27:22Speaker 04

  You're talking about the video of me kissing a 16-year-old.

• 27:25Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, like when he tried to Eminem himself, where he like says all the...

• 27:28Speaker 03

  And then Kendrick was like, "Okay."

• 27:31Speaker 05

  Yeah, for the record also, Universal and Spotify have said that it's untrue.

• 27:35Speaker 04

  Well, the 30% discount thing apparently...

• 27:37Speaker 03

  That is true, though, right?

• 27:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, the 30% discount thing is true, but apparently that's been done before, and I think it's been done for Drake. Essentially, something, this might not be, but something like, when you become the featured artist on a Spotify page, UMG might say, "Hey, if you do that, we'll, we'll discount the licensing fee or whatever." And then Spotify is incentivized to be like, "Okay, bet." And Drake was all over Spotify and Apple Music for, I think, Gemini or Scorpio.

• 28:00Speaker 03

  Guaranteed, whatever they're doing for this song, they've done with Drake, they've done with all their artists. It's marketing, right? And like, so he's alleging payola, he's alleging all these other things. There is an interesting argument here, which is like, Drake really feels like this song isn't actually a hit. Like, he's been talking about bots, and he's been talking about all these things from the beginning. And I wonder if it comes from this place of Drake's never really heard the song out, because whenever he's out, nobody plays the song. So I wonder if like, he's the dude who's out. He's at the club, he's doing different things, he's at social events. He's not hearing this song ever. And I wonder if in his mind, he's like, I don't think motherfuckers are playing it. Now, it's delusional.

• 28:41Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, he's also heavy online.

• 28:43Speaker 03

  He's so plugged in.

• 28:44Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, so.

• 28:45Speaker 03

  But yeah, but there's gotta be some disconnect where he would even go bots. He would even.

• 28:50Mark Gagnon?

  I believe all of the allegations that he's claiming.

• 28:54Speaker 03

  Are true.

• 28:55Mark Gagnon?

  Are true.

• 28:56Speaker 03

  But also true for every artist.

• 28:57Mark Gagnon?

  Yes.

• 28:58Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 28:58Speaker 03

  Right, so you just crying when it happened to you.

• 29:00Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 29:01Speaker 03

  Not when.

• 29:03Speaker 05

  But also the nature of it happening is slightly different. Like him just promoting a standard album is one thing, but this is a direct album that's not just also trying to float, but actively aggressing towards him, right? Like it's actively defaming his reputation.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  But that is the nature of a rap battle. It's like he, if they, if they boosted his Taylor Made's or Meet the Grams or whatever it is, it would also defame.

• 29:24Speaker 04

  I'm fairly certain they boosted, uh, Family Matters and they must have boosted Back to Back. Back to Back slapped, it was a crazy hit, but I'm positive, again, like you said, bots are just everywhere. They're just working every song. Back to Back was the fucking song of the year, whatever year it came.

• 29:40Speaker 03

  I got, I got a question. Is this their PR company, like a Drake PR company? Like I see this with Drake, I see this with The Weeknd, I see it's a bunch of artists. Every, every like few days, there's an onslaught of every Instagram page that's like about music has more or less the same post where it's just like Drake is the number one most listened to artist and what it, and they all have a different variation of the same post and it all comes out. And as I'm scrolling casually, I go, man, he's popping this motherfucker, whatever. But I wonder if that is a PR agency, that it's their job to constantly push the narrative that this person is the number one artist. So that is a coordinated effort.

• 30:20Mark Gagnon?

  Absolutely.

• 30:21Speaker 03

  Wow, I'm, I feel so stupid to just put that together now. Here I am thinking, if we don't get a write-up about something, you know, where if we're not included in a list or something like that, we're like, I guess nobody just acknowledges us.

• 30:33Mark Gagnon?

  It's because we just didn't push it out there to tell them to say that.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  Because we're not paying a PR agency to constantly push the narrative. I put together their certain people.

• 30:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah. All that stuff, all the Instagram pages, even like even old print magazines, I think people know, like world, like Sexiest Man in America, da, da, da.

• 30:48Speaker 03

  That's all PR.

• 30:48Speaker 05

  It's all paid.

• 30:49Speaker 03

  Oh my God, so, but it's effective. Because to the, I'm not, I wouldn't even call myself a casual, I'm like pretty into media. And I'm being, I don't wanna say duped, but I'm believing the narrative like, oh my god, this must be the biggest thing in the world. Here we are busting our ass on our own Instagram. Hoping people see it. When in reality, for way less money, you could just pay 20 other Instagram pages. And then you'll feel like it's unescapable.

• 31:17Speaker 05

  It feels decentralized. Cause you're going through it and you're like, dude, all of these disparate things that have nothing to do with each other are all promoting the same narrative. And this is beyond music. I mean,

• 31:25Speaker 04

  Dude, there were comedians when we were coming up, when those, when we used to take, uh, we used to really care about those like hottest comedians. There were some comedians that, they were funny, sure, but early on they were on every fucking list. And you were like, what the hell is going on?

• 31:37Speaker 03

  They got their agents or their PR company.

• 31:40Speaker 04

  The P whoever. The manager probably boom, boom, boom, boom. And then you start to buy in, this guy, this is the hottest.

• 31:45Speaker 05

  And a lot of those blogs, like the way they work, it's like you just send it to a couple of the top ones.

• 31:49Speaker 04

  And then they copy each other.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  Now, the word, is it inescapable? Inescapable. The inescapability of it, I think is the, is the greatest like motivating factor. Because when you see 10 things online, it feels like the biggest story.

• 32:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:07Speaker 03

  Right? Like with, I mean, on what happened with the Kendrick thing. It's like, you're online and you see every single post is about it. They're like, oh, Kendrick takes shots and shouts or whatever. And you're like, oh wow, this feels big. In the grand scheme of things, it's nothing. It's, nobody gives a fucking fuck. But the perception, how's, wow. I know I must sound like an absolute retard right now, but if this works with,

• 32:32Speaker 04

  I was too. I didn't know yet.

• 32:34Speaker 03

  If this works for like a random narrative around a rap song or a rapper or whatever, imagine what they're feeding to us politically. Imagine what they're feeding to us culturally.

• 32:44Speaker 04

  Oh yeah, dude. We'll get to it with the Biden stuff. But you can hear the same line from different media outlets, sorry, about Joe Biden and defending this exact line. Boom, boom, boom, boom.

• 32:54Speaker 03

  What'd you say? Decentralization?

• 32:56Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 32:57Speaker 03

  That is where it becomes so effective. When it feels like everyone around you shares the opinion. If you don't have the opinion, you go, I must be wrong.

• 33:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, you just automatically conform. Bro, you, you wonder if Kendrick put that lyric in there? Cause he knew you were gonna talk about it?

• 33:12Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 33:14Speaker 05

  And then you were gonna promote the album?

• 33:15Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 33:17Speaker 04

  He didn't count on us taking Thanksgiving off.

• 33:28Speaker 03

  Hits with a nice style bender episode, take that. Okay, but now we talk about it, he's like, he fucking got us, god damn.

• 33:36Speaker 04

  Damn.

• 33:36Speaker 03

  It's fucking smart, man. Yeah, but how many Easter eggs do we have in this episode that you didn't even realize?

• 33:40Mark Gagnon?

  There's so many.

• 33:43Speaker 03

  Kendrick fans, there's so many Easter eggs. Find them.

• 33:47Mark Gagnon?

  You just missed one.

• 33:50Speaker 03

  There was one, let's see if you can rewind it and find it. The total time of the episode was 366 seconds.

• 33:58Mark Gagnon?

  So yeah, even even the rap beef between Kendrick and Drake, I think in the grand scheme of things, the entire world didn't really care. Like Drake is still going to be the top streaming artist or rap artist. But to us, that was the only thing. And we think like Drake has been dethroned, he hasn't.

• 34:14Speaker 03

  That's so.

• 34:15Mark Gagnon?

  Like he's still gonna out.

• 34:16Speaker 03

  He's thrown to what way?

• 34:17Mark Gagnon?

  Like.

• 34:18Speaker 03

  Numbers?

• 34:18Mark Gagnon?

  Numbers.

• 34:19Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:19Mark Gagnon?

  I just think Drake is.

• 34:20Speaker 03

  Cultural influence?

• 34:23Mark Gagnon?

  Maybe a little bit here, but I think worldwide, no.

• 34:25Speaker 03

  Yeah. This is, I think this, and I think it's smart what he's doing now. Like he's gonna do a little tour in Australia. I thought that was really smart because the way that Kendrick timed this beef was brilliant.

• 34:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:39Speaker 03

  Right when you finish your tour.

• 34:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 34:42Speaker 03

  I'm gonna go to war with you and you have nothing to show that you're popping.

• 34:49Speaker 03

  Right? Cause the beauty of having a tour is say whatever you want.

• 34:54Speaker 04

  Videos are coming out.

• 34:55Speaker 03

  That's reality. All this is chit chatting comments online. That's reality, right? There's some people that said some shit about me online or made videos about me online. But then when we post the garden, crypto, the forum, the arena, Etihad Arena, the arenas in, literally the arenas Drake is playing in Australia, were the arenas that we play in Australia. It's like, it's very hard to believe that when you're seeing the reality of people showing up. And I think that Drake needs a nice win. Drake needs the.

• 35:28Speaker 04

  You know what the tour is called, Anita Max Wynn tour.

• 35:30Speaker 03

  Yeah, that I didn't think was smart. It felt a little desperate.

• 35:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 35:34Mark Gagnon?

  But we can't let Drake off the hook. This is the dumbest thing he could have possibly done. This suing shit, like this is, he looks so fucking corny.

• 35:43Speaker 04

  Yeah, and that's what I would say to anybody who says his streams are gonna be up because Drake is a pop star. He just is, it's like saying Nelly out, he outsold, I don't know, Jay-Z maybe in the year 2000, from 2000 to 2007. That'll make him a better rapper than Jay-Z, or nobody's gonna put him on a rap list above Jay-Z. But it was pop music that hit. Drake has pop music that hits, so he's always gonna be crazy ahead on streams. I just think as a rapper, he's moving horribly. Anita Max Wynn, not a great name for a tour. The lawsuit, it's like, you already got embarrassed and now you're just embarrassing yourself. What do you do?

• 36:19Speaker 05

  But what if it goes to a lawsuit and then he's able to win and successfully prove in a court that Kendrick's streams were inflated?

• 36:24Mark Gagnon?

  No one cares.

• 36:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:26Mark Gagnon?

  The song was still fire.

• 36:28Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 36:30Speaker 03

  This is the thing that he's messing up. If the song wasn't a slapper, but it was really popular, I think that we'd be like, ah, that makes sense.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  The song goes crazy.

• 36:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:42Speaker 03

  It goes, it's almost as good as Whacked Out Murals. It's really on that level. I might be biased, but it's on that level of Whacked Out Murals.

• 36:52Speaker 05

  But what if Not Like Us had a thing about what jokes were funny? Then do you think it would have been just the greatest of all time?

• 36:57Speaker 04

  Greatest song of all time.

• 36:58Speaker 03

  You could charge Spotify double, we still streaming.

• 37:00Speaker 05

  That shit would beat Thriller.

• 37:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, dog, if you said it about Euphoria, and I love Euphoria, but like, we'd be like, oh yeah, Euphoria being the number one song in the world seems a little weird.

• 37:13Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 37:13Speaker 04

  But Not Like Us, you hear it outside everywhere and everybody's rapping every lyric when it comes on.

• 37:20Speaker 03

  Dot fuck him up, is that?

• 37:21Speaker 04

  Yeah, dot fuck him up. That shit is crazy.

• 37:25Speaker 03

  No, he, listen, he's really good at making music, that's the other thing. As annoying as he can be, he is also very good at making music. Some of the stuff, I'm like, okay, whatever, but sometimes you hear it and you're like, what the fuck? This guy's phenomenal at the craft of making music. So saying that somebody's using bots that's also really good at making music. It it it's a tough pill to swallow for I think.

• 37:50Speaker 04

  And has been cosigned by every other goat. Every other goat also says nah, this guy's a fucking truth. So it's not even, you can't just say, oh, only casuals like him. You can't just say like, if I hate on Drake, but Snoop, Jay-Z, whoever, every one of them is like, nah, that guy is different.

• 38:05Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 38:06Speaker 04

  I'm a dickhead.

• 38:06Mark Gagnon?

  Fucking Snoop apologized.

• 38:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:08Mark Gagnon?

  To who?

• 38:09Speaker 04

  To Kendrick.

• 38:10Mark Gagnon?

  To Kendrick. What'd he say?

• 38:12Speaker 04

  He said.

• 38:12Mark Gagnon?

  What Kendrick said about Snoop?

• 38:13Speaker 04

  He said, uh.

• 38:14Mark Gagnon?

  So remember when Drake put out the diss where?

• 38:17Speaker 04

  Taylor made freestyle?

• 38:18Mark Gagnon?

  The AI and like Snoop like reposted it. And Kendrick's like, yo, how you gonna do that? Like you must have been, you must have ate edibles.

• 38:24Speaker 04

  He said it must have been that, or he said like, I prayed it was the edibles or something like that. Basically like, why is a west coast guy big upping someone else using Tupac's voice and whatever? And then, uh, Snoop tweeted GNX's album is fire. Uh, you're right Kendrick, it was the edibles or something like that with a laughing crying emoji.

• 38:41Mark Gagnon?

  Snoop's the man.

• 38:42Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 38:42Mark Gagnon?

  Snoop could do whatever he wants, bro. That's OG. But that's like, Snoop could do whatever he wants and the fact that he even retracted that, that's. Yeah. That is, they're respecting Kendrick like that. Like Drake is, every step, even the fucking going on streaming and the betting and doing little subliminals, like itch, you can tell he's still hurt.

• 39:00Speaker 04

  DeMar DeRozan was.

• 39:01Mark Gagnon?

  He's still hurt. I think, I think. He's still bothered.

• 39:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think Drake, like most people in entertainment, care deeply what people think of.

• 39:10Speaker 04

  Fair.

• 39:10Speaker 03

  And they crave approval.

• 39:12Speaker 04

  Fair.

• 39:13Speaker 03

  And now for the first time in 20 years, Drake believes that the perception of him might be skewed. It might be he's a pedophile or it might be he's, I don't think that people really believe he's a pedophile. I, do you guys think that, that they really believe that about Drake?

• 39:34Mark Gagnon?

  I don't think so, but it's just a funny thing.

• 39:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's a funny punchline, right? But I think that that really affects him. He's, listen, he is a performer, he's an artist. He ca, he does something in front of a crowd, we know a lot about that.

• 39:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 39:47Speaker 03

  We're affected by what people think about us.

• 39:49Speaker 04

  Absolutely am.

• 39:50Speaker 03

  And, um, that's gotta be fucking tough, especially when you've been loved by everybody.

• 39:56Speaker 04

  A reign that we have never seen.

• 39:58Speaker 03

  Phenomenal.

• 39:59Speaker 04

  Maybe all, not all the music, but definitely rap, we've never seen someone on top for a decade plus, 15 years? On top, even when Push exposed him for whatever.

• 40:08Speaker 03

  Came back.

• 40:09Speaker 04

  Right back within a month.

• 40:11Mark Gagnon?

  You know, you know how Drake wins this? Just threatened to make sweet love to Kendrick.

• 40:16Speaker 03

  That's what I'm saying. Cause we saw that peace. That peace is real. If that peace is real.

• 40:22Speaker 05

  That's aggravated assault. That's, that's dangerous.

• 40:24Speaker 03

  Deadly weapons. That's assault with it. Deadly weapons.

• 40:27Mark Gagnon?

  So you saying you not carrying like that?

• 40:29Speaker 03

  My shit gonna fit a little bit.

• 40:32Speaker 03

  My shit gonna fit a little bit. And then I'm gonna call, I'm gonna call Kenny my holster.

• 40:40Speaker 04

  Show him like us.

• 40:43Speaker 03

  Hey, thank you, dawg.

• 40:46Speaker 03

  No, but for real, I don't think he went there with it, and he needs to.

• 40:49Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:50Speaker 03

  That's where you need to go with it.

• 40:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 40:52Speaker 03

  If you really about that life.

• 40:53Speaker 05

  CLB. Certified lover boy.

• 40:56Speaker 03

  Certified, show us that you're a certified lover boy, man. Put him on your lap. Give him the popcorn. You gotta give him that pop, pop, pop.

• 41:04Speaker 05

  Stop sucking popcorn.

• 41:09Speaker 03

  No, for real, you gotta give him that popcorn. If, if, if you're not willing to go there, you're not willing to win a battle. You're not willing to win a beef. Kendrick went there, called him a pedophile. You gotta go there. Come here, little kid, sit on my lap.

• 41:25Speaker 03

  That is the only one I think can't go anywhere. There's nowhere past that. Or Kendrick gotta be like, I'ma suck it. Oh, that's the only way.

• 41:35Speaker 05

  And then they meet up.

• 41:36Speaker 03

  Then they meet up. And we watch. You deserve this.

• 41:43Speaker 03

  You deserve this.

• 41:44Mark Gagnon?

  It's gonna break the end of that, right?

• 41:45Speaker 03

  Yes, it will. It'll break the end if we started right here.

• 41:49Speaker 05

  They face off? That's fucking nose to nose. They start sucking each other.

• 41:52Speaker 03

  What type of lube do you want? Monster!

• 42:02Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 42:04Mark Gagnon?

  We solved it, guy.

• 42:05Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think we did figure it out. I think it's fair. Everybody gets these jokes, yo. Everybody.

• 42:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 42:10Speaker 03

  Everybody, and nobody's gonna stop getting them, okay?

• 42:13Speaker 04

  Absolutely.

• 42:14Speaker 03

  That's the reality of the matter.

• 42:15Speaker 05

  Maybe not my grandmother. Can we, can we stop that?

• 42:17Speaker 03

  Listen, we gonna, we gonna.

• 42:19Speaker 04

  She is alive.

• 42:21Speaker 05

  Okay, just checking.

• 42:22Speaker 03

  Are you sure?

• 42:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 42:24Speaker 04

  You know, God rewarded her for what she did for those soldiers, dawg.

• 42:27Speaker 03

  What do you think the flaps look like?

• 42:39Speaker 03

  What do you think the flaps look like?

• 42:40Speaker 05

  What do you mean?

• 42:41Speaker 03

  I think she got like a palm tree hanging out of her.

• 42:48Speaker 05

  This is what I mean, bro.

• 42:52Speaker 03

  We can stop the joke somewhere.

• 42:56Speaker 05

  Please don't sing.

• 43:03Speaker 05

  No, there's some things we don't have to joke about. We can save some room.

• 43:07Speaker 03

  Fuck him up.

• 43:07Speaker 07

  You can't. But you know Kendrick talked about his grandma too.

• 43:10Speaker 03

  What?

• 43:10Speaker 07

  His line in TV Off. Bitch, I cut my granny off if she don't see it how I see it.

• 43:16Speaker 03

  God damn.

• 43:18Speaker 05

  That's wild.

• 43:19Speaker 03

  Cut your granny off?

• 43:21Speaker 05

  Yeah. No, I would never cut my granny off. Even if she sucked down a thousand dollars.

• 43:27Speaker 03

  I would never cut your granny off either.

• 43:29Speaker 05

  You should cut her off.

• 43:30Speaker 03

  No, I'm not cutting your granny off. Apologize to your grandma Kendrick. God. That's law. You can't make jokes about your grandma. That's law. You can't make bars, I mean, lines about your grandma. That's what Kendrick sounds like. Do you think he realizes that's what he said? Hey, you're being mean to your grandma. Hey, stop that. Another one of that plays. Come on. No, but for real, back to your grandma.

• 43:52Speaker 05

  Stop. No, bro. Not everything.

• 43:54Speaker 03

  I think we gotta put her legs in a diamond position.

• 43:56Speaker 05

  No, don't do that.

• 43:57Speaker 03

  You gotta put her legs in a diamond. You gotta put her legs like that. You gotta go put her in a diamond. And then you gotta get up in between the diamonds. And then you have her toes go webbing, webbing and cross like that to lock in.

• 44:11Speaker 05

  No.

• 44:12Speaker 03

  Yes, you do.

• 44:12Speaker 05

  No, that's law.

• 44:13Speaker 03

  No, no. Then you take her in a bounce house. You take her in a bounce house. Call up Drake. Take her in a bounce house.

• 44:23Speaker 04

  Let's talk some sports, dude.

• 44:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, what do we got going on?

• 44:28Speaker 04

  Yo, there's first of all, there's gonna be great games this week.

• 44:30Speaker 03

  Who we got?

• 44:31Speaker 04

  The best games is this Thursday. Thursday night games are not always good.

• 44:35Speaker 03

  What's, is that on Amazon?

• 44:37Speaker 04

  Amazon, Amazon Prime. Packers Lions. The Lions are, I think, 11-1. Best team in the league, according to most people. Packers are a little up and down, but still very good. They're like 9-3, I think. And it's a, but it's a divisional game. And I think it's in Detroit, but still, it's gonna be a fucking good game. I actually think Green Bay has a chance. I think Detroit has been kind of, they had some huge wins, massive wins, but they had a few in a row, it seems like, where they just kinda squeaked by.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  Why are they, why are they so good this year? I know they were good last year, but like...

• 45:08Speaker 04

  I think the offensive coordinator, his name is Ben Johnson, he's a fucking, like, amazing. Like, really creative play designs. A good offensive coordinator can level up the play of the quarterback. Jared Goff has been fairly good his whole career, nothing incredible at all, but this year, he's like, playing out of his mind.

• 45:25Speaker 03

  Stud.

• 45:26Speaker 04

  So I think that's the main thing. And then I think the coach, Dan Campbell, made like a culture that is like...

• 45:30Speaker 03

  He's that, he's legit.

• 45:32Speaker 04

  Did you watch The Hard Knocks at all?

• 45:33Speaker 03

  No.

• 45:34Speaker 04

  It's a show I don't normally care for, but if you watch the Detroit Lions one from like two years ago when he first got there, it's awesome. You love this guy. You love playing for him, you love rooting for him. And they've just all bought in, in a way that I didn't know if they could recover from San Francisco, but they did.

• 45:49Speaker 03

  I think the coach said something that was, yeah, said something about that loss. He's like, well, this is the hardest thing. It's getting your team back up to go do it again.

• 45:59Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 45:59Speaker 03

  Like, when you reach almost the mountaintop.

• 46:01Speaker 04

  Right.

• 46:02Speaker 03

  That's a far way.

• 46:02Speaker 04

  And they had a big lead and they blew it. They just fell apart.

• 46:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:05Speaker 04

  And I don't know if they'll fall apart this year. The Eagles look really good, the Packers look good, they could lose.

• 46:10Speaker 03

  This Saquon Barkley turnaround is unbelievable.

• 46:12Speaker 04

  Fucking believable, dude.

• 46:13Speaker 03

  And what is it? It's just like, is it better play calling? Is it better line?

• 46:17Speaker 04

  He's healthier and it's a good offensive line. Good offensive line makes the biggest difference, but also, he's just healthy this year.

• 46:22Speaker 03

  I think we love these stories because there's always a little bit in us, this feeling like, if I was given... The opportunity.

• 46:28Speaker 04

  Yeah, and he was kind of disrespected by the Giants in free agency, which we all identify with. Feeling disrespected, unappreciated by employers, blah, blah, blah. So we're all kind of rooting for him.

• 46:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:38Speaker 04

  Uh, the other game is gonna be really good, though, is the Chiefs and Chargers.

• 46:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 46:41Speaker 04

  I think that, uh, the Chargers actually have a shot at this.

• 46:44Speaker 03

  Why?

• 46:44Speaker 04

  The Chiefs just keep beating, they barely beat everyone. They're, they're winning every fucking time. It's, it's like defying all probability, but they're winning every game by like three points, two points.

• 46:54Speaker 03

  But isn't there a little part of you that goes, that's because when the going gets tough, they have another level they can get to.

• 47:03Speaker 04

  I think so, but the Bills beat them, I think, pretty handily, I think. And the Bills are really good. They're like a truly good team.

• 47:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  And I think the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh as their new coach, and he's a quarterback guy, I think they're a good team.

• 47:15Speaker 03

  So you're going, what are your picks?

• 47:17Speaker 04

  I think, I think, I think I go Lions and I think I go Chargers.

• 47:20Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 47:21Speaker 04

  But I don't know what the spreads are, anything like that. Those are teams I think will win.

• 47:24Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 47:25Speaker 04

  But I, yeah, I think the Chargers can actually beat the Chiefs. I think, again.

• 47:28Speaker 03

  I mean, that's probably the money right there.

• 47:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, my home, yeah. Mahomes seems to pull it out, but like that, those would be my picks.

• 47:33Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's just so talented.

• 47:34Speaker 04

  But this is a fun football season, man.

• 47:35Speaker 03

  There's a, uh, I can't believe, uh, I'm gonna, I know people are gonna be so excited when I make this analogy with paddle, but, uh, I, I've noticed, you know, if, if we're playing against people that are better than us, and it goes to like a golden point, I don't know if they do this in tennis at all? Where it's like deuce and you just go, okay, whoever wins the next one.

• 47:53Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 47:53Speaker 03

  Okay. So I noticed that we're playing with people that are better than us. It might get to golden, but they win every golden. And it's because they have that extra level.

• 48:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:03Speaker 03

  And they just took their foot off the gas a little bit. We got kind of close. We think we can close it. It's like, no, they have another fucking level. And I feel like that's Pat Mahomes. It's like, if, he has that kind of Brady-esque composure where it's like, if you let him stay in the game.

• 48:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:17Speaker 03

  Late.

• 48:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 48:18Speaker 03

  He's gonna make something happen.

• 48:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  So you need to like really pad that fucking lead against it.

• 48:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, I guess actually the Bills game did get close now that I think about it. But yeah, that could be it. But I, the NFL, the talent disparity is not what, because of free agency and all these other things, there's a lot more parity. So it's not like you can just slide by doing that forever. Like.

• 48:37Speaker 03

  Sorry, go, go.

• 48:37Speaker 04

  The talent gap between you and the guys across you from the net is probably pretty big.

• 48:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, big.

• 48:41Speaker 04

  This is not, the NFL's, I mean, he's the best, but like, you know, still.

• 48:45Speaker 03

  Can you tell me the Derrick Henry story that I keep hearing about?

• 48:48Speaker 04

  Derrick Henry, God.

• 48:49Speaker 03

  There's like a resurgence and.

• 48:51Speaker 04

  Oh dude, so he could, he.

• 48:53Speaker 03

  The idea is that running backs.

• 48:55Speaker 04

  You don't pay him after 30. Derrick Henry is one of the best running backs ever, maybe. And he enters free agency. He says kind of openly, I want to play for Dallas. Dallas is like, nope, we want to save our money. We're cheap. We're like the fucking Clippers from back in the day. We just don't spend on free agents. They don't sign him. Baltimore picks him up and he's having a crazy year, but he's like insanely dedicated. Like one of these Tom Brady types diet.

• 49:19Speaker 03

  That's what I've heard about.

• 49:19Speaker 04

  No fried food, no refined sugar, intermittent fasting, won't eat until after his workout. But like if he does eat, it'll be like a banana or half an avocado suffering.

• 49:30Speaker 04

  But then also the play that went viral in Thanksgiving is he got like handle, handily tackled by some little white cornerback.

• 49:37Speaker 03

  Oh, Dejounte?

• 49:38Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cooper Dejounte is his name.

• 49:41Speaker 03

  But it was tricky, like he was catching a screen, so he didn't really build up momentum. And the tackle was great.

• 49:46Speaker 04

  Fucking beautiful, but yeah, Derrick Henry's still a problem.

• 49:49Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 49:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:49Speaker 03

  And is this another one of these cool stories where the two running backs that could potentially break the running back record were guys that

• 49:55Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 49:56Speaker 03

  potentially were afterthoughts?

• 49:57Speaker 04

  Yeah, like kind of just not wanted by their old teams and nobody was really going crazy in free agency.

• 50:01Speaker 03

  These are the storylines you need in sports. I feel like outside of who's going to win the championship, there's the who's going to win the championship? And then there's like the, uh, the, the underdogs. You can't really call fucking Saquon Barkley, but these like personal stories where you can relate to them outside of them actually winning the final game.

• 50:18Speaker 04

  And team, team wise, underdog wise, Buffalo looks like at the moment, the best team in the league.

• 50:23Speaker 03

  Right.

• 50:24Speaker 04

  Historically, never won anything.

• 50:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:26Speaker 04

  Super loyal fans, the best Bills mafia.

• 50:28Speaker 03

  You almost want them to get one like.

• 50:30Speaker 04

  And then the other one is Detroit. Detroit, like we all feel bad for Detroit as a city.

• 50:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:36Speaker 04

  And then all of a sudden they're the best team in the league. This is the best record they've ever had through 12 games.

• 50:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:40Speaker 04

  So like those two storylines alone in each conference is enough to make this exciting.

• 50:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 50:44Speaker 04

  The Chargers are good again. Jim Harbaugh is kind of taking this quarterback that we thought might not be good and turning or might be falling apart and turning him around. It's like, there's so many storylines going right now. It's so fun.

• 50:54Speaker 03

  NFL knows what they're doing. I'm cool. I'm, I'm curious to see what happens once the Netflix games come on.

• 50:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's going to be interesting.

• 51:01Speaker 03

  Because it's to me, it's just, and I know people can do it because they have YouTube TV on their phone or whatever like that. But it just seems so much easier to open up the app.

• 51:11Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:12Speaker 03

  And watch the game.

• 51:12Speaker 04

  The Tyson Paul fight proved that.

• 51:14Speaker 03

  60 million households.

• 51:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:17Speaker 03

  Insanity.

• 51:17Speaker 04

  It's just so much easier.

• 51:18Speaker 03

  I, I think that. It's gonna be very hard to not open up your phone and just watch a little of the game.

• 51:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:25Speaker 03

  In the same way that now that the pay-per-views are one click away on your phone.

• 51:28Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:28Speaker 03

  I'm watching every single phone.

• 51:29Speaker 04

  It's also just habit. The first thing most people go to is Netflix. On their, if they're on TV, on their smart TV, first app I open is Netflix.

• 51:35Speaker 03

  Yeah. And then that transition for sports, because sports was the last one. They're the last one that needed to.

• 51:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:42Speaker 03

  Right? Cause we're gonna watch the fucking games no matter what.

• 51:44Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:44Speaker 03

  But if those numbers double, triple.

• 51:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:48Speaker 03

  Skyrocket.

• 51:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 51:49Speaker 03

  Yeah. What does that do for the brand?

• 51:50Speaker 04

  And how much will Netflix pay for the rights? Cause networks would pay everything because sports is one of the few things you have to watch live. There's like a few TV shows, maybe every year, maybe. Maybe one, honestly, a year. But sports, if I'm watching, if I'm waiting, it might get ruined for me. God, oh, fuck. So I'll watch it live, I'll talk to my friends, and so networks will pay for it because advertisers are like, people aren't gonna fast forward through these commercials. They'll sit to watch it live.

• 52:14Speaker 03

  Yo.

• 52:15Speaker 04

  But if Netflix throws crazy bags, it's done.

• 52:17Speaker 03

  Speaking, by the way, if you're gonna throw some bread down, obviously you're gonna do it with steak. Steak is the leader in global betting and US social casinos.

• 52:38Speaker 04

  Oh, you think that's good?

• 52:39Speaker 03

  I've been watching it.

• 52:40Mark Gagnon?

  It's decent.

• 52:40Speaker 03

  I think it's, I think it's got two things going for him. It's not as promoted as Penguin.

• 52:47Speaker 04

  Hmm.

• 52:47Speaker 03

  Penguin, I go into Penguin and I go, I've already seen 40 Instagram posts about how it's the highest rated episode on IMDb. So I'm basically like, unfortunately, when my brain is wired, I'm looking to discredit.

• 52:59Speaker 04

  High expectations kills it.

• 53:00Speaker 03

  Exactly. So Dune, I had nothing to watch and I start watching it and like, there's some line in the beginning, it's like, and then women can figure out something. I'm like, oh my God, don't do this fucking like forced identity politics bullshit. But the story's feeling Game of Thrones-y. It's an interesting world. They spent some money on the set design, like the sets look beautiful. Like each literal world is drastically different, very cool. They got good actors, like, I'm three eps in. I couldn't get through the Penguin. I tried, I could, just for whatever reason, I couldn't do it. I know I'm wrong with the Penguin, everybody loves it, but this shit, I think they might got one now.

• 53:45Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, this is good.

• 53:45Speaker 03

  I think they might got one.

• 53:47Speaker 05

  Bro, I just found out about True Detective.

• 53:50Speaker 03

  The fuck is wrong with you guys?

• 53:51Speaker 05

  First season phenomenal.

• 53:52Speaker 04

  Why didn't no one tell me? This shit is amazing.

• 53:54Speaker 03

  After that, you know what, I watched the most recent one, I liked it.

• 53:57Speaker 04

  Really?

• 53:57Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, it's good.

• 53:58Speaker 03

  The take place in Alaska, thematically, it's a little bit different, but.

• 54:01Speaker 04

  Who's in it?

• 54:03Speaker 03

  Oh, uh, uh, the lesbian, the little lesbian, um, lesbian actress. Little lesbian actress? What's her name? Jodie Foster.

• 54:13Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, she's a lesbian?

• 54:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, she lesbian.

• 54:15Mark Gagnon?

  No, I didn't know that.

• 54:15Speaker 03

  She's phenomenal, bro. She is.

• 54:17Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, she's a great actress.

• 54:19Speaker 03

  She's also a great director.

• 54:19Speaker 04

  I heard the one with Mahershala Ali was good.

• 54:21Speaker 03

  Oh, that was pretty good, too.

• 54:23Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 54:23Speaker 03

  I, I, yeah, that was pretty good, too.

• 54:25Mark Gagnon?

  First one's still undeniable.

• 54:26Speaker 03

  I mean, with McConaughey and, uh.

• 54:28Speaker 04

  Mesmerizing, I'd never seen a performance like that.

• 54:30Speaker 05

  Harrelson.

• 54:30Speaker 04

  Woody Harrelson. Harrelson's fire, dude, I love Harrelson.

• 54:33Speaker 03

  Uh, you just started watching?

• 54:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm on the episode two.

• 54:35Speaker 03

  It's just.

• 54:36Speaker 05

  This shit is fire.

• 54:37Speaker 04

  Oh, I didn't know it told me, bro, I got gate kept.

• 54:39Speaker 03

  Enjoy, enjoy.

• 54:40Speaker 07

  Mark also just found out about Derrick Henry. On Thanksgiving, Mark and I are watching.

• 54:45Speaker 05

  I was watching football.

• 54:46Speaker 03

  This shit is crazy.

• 54:48Speaker 07

  I go back, I go, yo, go back to his college highlights, we're watching college highlights of Derrick Henry, and he's like, he's big. I'm like, he's good, bro.

• 54:55Mark Gagnon?

  I don't know who he is either.

• 54:56Speaker 05

  You should look into this one, this guy's wild. And then who's the fat quarterback?

• 55:00Speaker 07

  Jared Lorenzen.

• 55:01Speaker 05

  Jared, what's going on?

• 55:03Speaker 03

  I was showing him.

• 55:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think he died.

• 55:05Speaker 07

  Hefty lefty, I was showing him uniquely different sized players in the NFL.

• 55:09Speaker 05

  Bro, we started on season one of the NFL, this is crazy. This shit is insane, Joe Montana, come on, dude.

• 55:16Speaker 03

  Anyway, let's get back to the show, boys. Yo, shout out, shout out, uh, Joe Biden, real ones, real ones, Joe Biden, finally, finally. Um, first of all, a lot of people are, okay, let's just clarify some things, there are people that are annoyed by this, they're not annoyed that he did it. I just want to point, because anybody in this situation is gonna use their power.

• 55:40Mark Gagnon?

  Absolutely.

• 55:41Speaker 03

  To protect their son.

• 55:42Speaker 04

  Correct.

• 55:43Speaker 03

  Like, a hundred percent of the time.

• 55:45Speaker 05

  Would you pardon your child?

• 55:46Speaker 03

  Hell's yes, hell's yes.

• 55:50Mark Gagnon?

  Maybe not Akaash Dad, but.

• 55:55Speaker 03

  Son, you think your daddy would pardon you? That's serious. You think your daddy would pardon you though? I mean that.

• 56:03Speaker 04

  Good question. I think he would.

• 56:04Speaker 03

  But he charged you like 10% of your earnings.

• 56:07Speaker 05

  There's a catch, there's a catch for sure.

• 56:10Speaker 04

  Yeah, he would not pardon my brother.

• 56:13Speaker 04

  He would pardon me, but then he just would make sure I had like a really shitty life after or something like that.

• 56:18Speaker 05

  You wouldn't accept it. You wouldn't accept the pardon. Be like, I'm gonna stay right here. Cause I don't wanna deal with this.

• 56:24Mark Gagnon?

  You ain't holding this over my head. I'm getting buttfucked in this cell.

• 56:29Speaker 03

  Nah, that, I think the thing that's annoying, obviously, is this idea that like Democrats pretend that they're better than Republicans.

• 56:35Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 56:35Speaker 03

  Once Democrats just be like, yo, we ain't shit. And also, don't get me wrong, Republicans also pretend that they're better, right? Like, everybody has their own little grandstanding. They just do it about different things.

• 56:44Speaker 04

  I guess, yeah.

• 56:44Speaker 03

  But, you know, Democrats are like, the Republicans won't respect the rule of law. You know, he's gonna destroy, and I guess this isn't breaking the rule of law, but Hunter broke a law. And then he's using a caveat to get him, get him out. But I think this is the annoyance with the Democrats. It is the hypocrisy. Oh, hypocrisy. Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is the theme of the episode today, Kendrick. So, uh, yeah, yes, yes it is, yes it is.

• 57:13Speaker 04

  Oh, he's still, Kendrick, you're still watching?

• 57:15Speaker 05

  I was hearing about this Hunter Biden story. I will.

• 57:18Speaker 04

  He wants to tune in. There might be some Easter eggs in here. You know, there might be some different things.

• 57:22Mark Gagnon?

  He's a Patreon.

• 57:23Speaker 03

  He is a Patreon subscriber. Anywho, um, so I think that's the annoying thing. Nobody disagrees with the action.

• 57:30Speaker 04

  Correct.

• 57:32Speaker 05

  Or at least they shouldn't. It's a very small amount.

• 57:34Speaker 03

  Yo, what did he do even?

• 57:37Speaker 04

  Pardon his son?

• 57:39Speaker 05

  No, what did Hunter even do? With a Glock in his hand? That's a crime in America. What the hell happened?

• 57:45Speaker 03

  But what is he, like, what is he hemmed, uh, jammed up for? Who got his in?

• 57:50Speaker 07

  He didn't fill out, uh, a gun form correctly.

• 57:53Speaker 04

  My God. He lied on it.

• 57:54Speaker 05

  It's America.

• 57:55Speaker 04

  Yeah. I think he said he'd never been convicted of a crime or something like that, right?

• 57:58Speaker 03

  He might have forgot. He was off the drugs.

• 58:00Speaker 05

  Yo.

• 58:02Speaker 05

  Yo, am I bad about the form? I was high as shit.

• 58:05Speaker 03

  Real talk, and I mean this sincerely, do you have any sins? Cause in my backpack, I think I do.

• 58:10Speaker 04

  Somebody.

• 58:11Speaker 05

  David, backpack. You don't want to?

• 58:14Speaker 04

  I want to know what's going on.

• 58:16Speaker 03

  I'll be catching everything, bro. Hold on. What's that one?

• 58:18Speaker 07

  3%?

• 58:19Speaker 03

  Throw it, yeah, yeah, throw it, throw it.

• 58:20Speaker 07

  What the?

• 58:21Speaker 03

  My hands are crazy. Wow.

• 58:24Speaker 07

  Golden Glove.

• 58:25Speaker 03

  My hands are absolutely crazy.

• 58:26Speaker 04

  Bro, your hands are insane.

• 58:28Speaker 03

  Shit. Throw Kendrick out.

• 58:32Speaker 03

  These are only 3 milligrams. Okay.

• 58:35Speaker 03

  So, yeah, I don't know. What do you, like?

• 58:36Speaker 07

  Your hands are crazy, but you can't open it.

• 58:38Speaker 03

  I can't open it. They're not strong enough. They're not strong enough.

• 58:40Speaker 04

  But they're quick.

• 58:41Speaker 03

  They are fast.

• 58:43Speaker 04

  Is it chopper? This is crazy. This one is strong. This is a strong one. Ooh, I could really smell that one.

• 58:50Speaker 07

  He also didn't pay his taxes.

• 58:51Speaker 03

  Who did it?

• 58:52Speaker 07

  Hunter. But then paid them back after.

• 58:54Speaker 03

  I feel like you shouldn't have to pay taxes, to be honest. Don't you feel that?

• 58:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, conservatives should look at it and be like, yo, this guy hates theft? Oh, sounds like we're on Hunter Biden's team.

• 59:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:03Speaker 05

  He loves guns, hates taxes.

• 59:05Speaker 03

  Nah, shout out Hunter Biden.

• 59:06Speaker 05

  Hunter Biden's a conservative.

• 59:07Speaker 03

  He's a real conservative, dude.

• 59:09Speaker 05

  That's sick.

• 59:10Speaker 03

  He 100% is, dude. Nah, I, I mean, like, yeah, this is just, it's the glaring hypocrisy and you gotta let Republicans run with this one and have some fun.

• 59:18Speaker 04

  And you said-

• 59:19Speaker 03

  Democrats, y'all gotta eat this one.

• 59:20Speaker 04

  You said for months, we are not, Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter. Just don't say it.

• 59:26Speaker 03

  That is the concern that people have, which is rules for thee and not for me.

• 59:29Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 59:30Speaker 03

  And that is the criticism of the Dems. Rules for thee and not for me.

• 59:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 59:34Speaker 03

  This is a glaring example of it. Republicans, you allowed to have some fun and dance on this one as much as you want, and Democrats, you gotta eat it. Simple as that.

• 59:40Mark Gagnon?

  I think Biden said that shit because he was going to run again and he's like, aight, let me say the good shit now and get in office. And then after I'm off, I think he had planned the entire time he was gonna pardon us.

• 59:50Speaker 03

  Of course!

• 59:50Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, like, entire time.

• 59:52Speaker 03

  That's his son!

• 59:53Speaker 05

  But he's tweeting like, oh, nobody's above the law. Don't say that. Just in general. Say, nobody's above the law so far.

• 59:59Mark Gagnon?

  Yo, say that shit. Sell them a dream. Say whatever the fuck you want, bro. Goddamn, let's stop playing safe anymore. Say whatever the fuck you want.

• 1:00:07Speaker 04

  Dude, watching, watching legacy media, like, like I was saying, the line, everybody has one line, which is, well, now that we have a convicted felon in office, all rules are off. It's like, don't make it, uh, they're worse than us still. Just be like, hey, who gives a fuck? What y'all expect? You wouldn't pardon your son? You wouldn't lie about it? Of course!

• 1:00:26Speaker 03

  I, I wish Joe came out and said that exactly.

• 1:00:28Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:00:28Speaker 03

  What would y'all do?

• 1:00:30Speaker 04

  What, you want me to try to lose the election?

• 1:00:32Speaker 03

  What am I supposed to do? Tell you earlier, oh, yeah, I'mma, I'mma break the law?

• 1:00:35Speaker 04

  It's actually not the law.

• 1:00:36Speaker 03

  But I'mma-

• 1:00:37Speaker 04

  You didn't do anything wrong.

• 1:00:37Speaker 03

  I'm gonna bail my kid out just because I have a lot of power? Yeah, you're not gonna vote for that. Maybe we would.

• 1:00:42Speaker 04

  Maybe we would though, actually.

• 1:00:44Speaker 03

  Do you think I'm pardoning your son? Of course I'm gonna pardon my son, I'm the president.

• 1:00:46Speaker 04

  Crazy. And anybody who says they wouldn't is lying.

• 1:00:49Speaker 03

  I made him a part owner of a gas company in Ukraine, you think I'm not gonna pardon?

• 1:00:53Speaker 04

  And then go for my kid. Same thing Trump did when they, actually that is exactly, when they asked him about the taxes, he was like, "Yeah, I found loopholes around paying taxes, that's what you're supposed to do."

• 1:01:02Speaker 03

  Fuck.

• 1:01:02Speaker 04

  If Joe was like, "Hey, I'm gonna pardon my son," and if Trump says he wouldn't, he's a fucking liar. You might be like, "I like that."

• 1:01:09Speaker 03

  I like that.

• 1:01:09Speaker 04

  I respect that.

• 1:01:10Mark Gagnon?

  It's funny now, he's claiming now that DOJ is like...

• 1:01:13Speaker 04

  Out to get him.

• 1:01:14Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, out to get him, and I'm like, "Yo, that's Trump's ball, bro."

• 1:01:18Speaker 03

  Wait, who's saying that, Biden?

• 1:01:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, Biden, this is a witch hunt, they're only doing this because of who, what his last name is. Get the fuck out of here.

• 1:01:25Speaker 03

  Kinda.

• 1:01:27Mark Gagnon?

  And both are just stealing our shit. We've been saying the justice system's been fucked up forever, bro.

• 1:01:31Speaker 04

  Oh my god.

• 1:01:32Mark Gagnon?

  Y'all actually steal a lot of our shit.

• 1:01:35Speaker 03

  What do white people steal from black people, dude, come on?

• 1:01:37Mark Gagnon?

  We've been off the vaccine.

• 1:01:41Speaker 03

  We've been off the vaccine. Black people knew that vaccine was fucked up so fast.

• 1:01:45Mark Gagnon?

  Shout out, black people.

• 1:01:47Speaker 03

  Bro, they...

• 1:01:48Mark Gagnon?

  Come on, son. Y'all steal it, and now y'all late to shit, that's even our shit.

• 1:01:56Mark Gagnon?

  Y'all really staking our shit, bro.

• 1:01:58Speaker 03

  Son, it is so true. Black people knew that vaccine was not to be trusted, why did you guys know?

• 1:02:03Mark Gagnon?

  So we be knowing, you can't trust the fucking government?

• 1:02:05Speaker 03

  It literally is, yo, this is so funny.

• 1:02:08Mark Gagnon?

  All the bars is what we've been saying.

• 1:02:09Speaker 03

  Nah, this is so funny, the new like, you can't trust the government, you can't trust authority, you can't trust it, black people have been not trusting them, rightfully so, for fucking 200 years. Now white people are in on it, and it's like...

• 1:02:23Speaker 03

  That's a great take, that is a great take. Oh my god, now white people are like, "I think the police do some fucked up shit." Thank you, thank you, finally, killed all of our leaders.

• 1:02:37Mark Gagnon?

  Next we gonna become Karens, watch. We gonna break that shit back.

• 1:02:40Speaker 03

  I mean, it just started, did you watch GNX, did you see the album?

• 1:02:45Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, that's funny.

• 1:02:46Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 1:02:46Speaker 05

  Blindly trusting the government is a little racist, dude.

• 1:02:48Speaker 03

  Talk to me.

• 1:02:49Speaker 05

  Because you have all these people that are like, dude, the government wouldn't do anything wrong. And they're like, oh, what about Tuskegee, you know, syphilis experiments? And they're like, oh, well, they wouldn't do it to us. You know what I mean? Like, they would do it to those people. But they're not gonna do it to white people.

• 1:03:00Speaker 03

  So what happened? They gave syphilis to the pilots?

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  Why would they give it to the pilots?

• 1:03:07Speaker 05

  They want to see that altitude if they would have syphilis.

• 1:03:10Speaker 03

  Because they had the Red Tails down there.

• 1:03:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  So, so what was, what was the experiment?

• 1:03:16Speaker 05

  It was done by the Germans.

• 1:03:17Speaker 03

  They had the greatest pilots that America ever had. They didn't lose one bomber in World War Two.

• 1:03:22Mark Gagnon?

  It's American public school system right here, people.

• 1:03:24Speaker 03

  I'm just saying, the Red Tails had the greatest flying record in American war history. They didn't lose one bomber. That was white racist. They were like, I'm not flying unless them black people jump in the air with the planes on their backs and protect this bomber.

• 1:03:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:03:43Speaker 03

  They're like, I don't think they can fly them, but them motherfuckers can jump.

• 1:03:47Speaker 03

  No, but, but, and then they were giving them syphilis as well? Or they're different black people at the base that they're giving syphilis?

• 1:03:53Mark Gagnon?

  There was different black people.

• 1:03:54Speaker 03

  So, hold on. I'm, this is my body. So. Tuskegee was popping, dog. She was happening to Tuskegee. Was this a whole black army down in Tuskegee? So there's a syphilis black unit?

• 1:04:06Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:04:06Speaker 03

  And then there was the Red Tails.

• 1:04:07Speaker 05

  They were not military, these syphilis guys.

• 1:04:10Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:04:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, they were just regular share.

• 1:04:13Speaker 03

  Oh, my God, they should have been in the military. They would have completely avoided this.

• 1:04:18Speaker 05

  I don't know about that.

• 1:04:21Speaker 05

  But yeah, I think they were just sharecroppers down there. They were doing their thing and they were like, oh, we're gonna do an experiment. We're gonna give you some vaccines and stuff.

• 1:04:26Speaker 03

  There weren't sharecropping still in 1942.

• 1:04:29Speaker 05

  No, I think it was like some, it was like some shit like that. Like, they were, it was like some fucked up situation where they weren't, they were kind of working or something.

• 1:04:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:04:36Speaker 05

  And they were like, yeah, yeah, we'll give you, I don't know the exact answer.

• 1:04:40Speaker 03

  Talk that shit. I know he's wrong. I know he's wrong. This is a perfect example of how we.

• 1:04:46Mark Gagnon?

  They were sharecroppers. See, I told you.

• 1:04:48Speaker 03

  That was still around in 1940.

• 1:04:51Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, America was pretty racist, so reasonably.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  Can't, you can't trust America. Come on, man, we've been telling you.

• 1:04:57Speaker 05

  Nah, nah, America's fire, bro.

• 1:04:59Speaker 03

  But son, there's some bad people in it.

• 1:05:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's a bad home race, dude. A lot of migrants.

• 1:05:04Speaker 03

  It was probably the migrants that did that shit. Bad home break. That's a bad home break. But it might have been the migrants that did that shit. It might have been the migrants. We gotta, we gotta look into it. Okay, but anyway, go on.

• 1:05:14Speaker 05

  And they were like, no, we're gonna give you a little vaccine. They were, all right, bet, sure. And then they gave him untreated syphilis. And they were like, damn, they died from this shit. And that was the experiment. They're, I wonder if they're gonna die.

• 1:05:23Speaker 03

  But the idea was that it was gonna protect them. No.

• 1:05:25Speaker 05

  No, the idea was, let's see how long it takes them to die.

• 1:05:28Speaker 03

  Yeah. Who okayed this?

• 1:05:30Speaker 05

  It was like a Mr. Beast video. It's like, we gave a hundred people syphilis.

• 1:05:35Speaker 03

  Hey, you know what's crazy? Yo, he said, who okayed?

• 1:05:40Speaker 03

  Doesn't this gotta go up the ladder? Like, who's okaying them?

• 1:05:45Speaker 04

  Yo, they were the Wuhan bats of the 1930s.

• 1:05:49Speaker 03

  This is nuts. What you gonna tell me now? Did, did, did, did black people weren't paid a livable wage when they was picking all the cotton and shit? What the fuck else you gonna tell me now?

• 1:05:58Speaker 05

  It's crazy, right?

• 1:05:59Speaker 03

  Nah, there's a wild shit going on. You're saying that America has a history of racism towards people of color? Is this, this what you're telling me right now? This news to me, right? Well, we gotta stop joking around about them, man.

• 1:06:10Speaker 04

  Those guys.

• 1:06:11Speaker 03

  I think we gotta stop joking around about them immediately.

• 1:06:14Speaker 04

  Like, those guys, those, those Tuskegee victims are the reason millions of black people didn't get the COVID vaccine, so.

• 1:06:19Speaker 03

  Yep. So they.

• 1:06:21Speaker 04

  They protected them.

• 1:06:21Speaker 03

  But some of them, yeah.

• 1:06:24Speaker 03

  There you go. Yes and no, but let's go on that.

• 1:06:27Speaker 05

  Some of them got the ability to fly and that's how they became the airmen.

• 1:06:31Speaker 03

  To me.

• 1:06:32Speaker 05

  It's like X-Men.

• 1:06:33Speaker 03

  To me.

• 1:06:33Speaker 05

  Everyone has a northern story.

• 1:06:34Speaker 03

  That is, that is a pretty sick.

• 1:06:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:06:37Speaker 03

  Thing.

• 1:06:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, that good can come from bad.

• 1:06:39Speaker 03

  Good can come from bad. You know? I mean, wow.

• 1:06:43Speaker 05

  And if you have syphilis, listen to this podcast, try a flight simulator. You know what I mean? Like, you might have amazing eyesight. You might have a superpower. Just look into it.

• 1:06:51Speaker 03

  Mark is good, dude. This guy's fucking good.

• 1:06:53Speaker 04

  What is the first person of the Wright Brothers' plane was just a black guy with a big fucking dog?

• 1:07:00Speaker 04

  Sonic?

• 1:07:01Mark Gagnon?

  Run really fast.

• 1:07:07Speaker 05

  This is wild.

• 1:07:08Speaker 07

  Yeah, I think Biden fucked up the timing of pardoning his kid.

• 1:07:12Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:07:13Speaker 07

  Every Thanksgiving, presidents have to pardon a turkey. And I think they bring out a big silver platter, it's his son, and he goes, alright, fine.

• 1:07:24Speaker 03

  Dude, last, I think it was last Thanksgiving, they pardoned this turkey, but we thought it was Mark's grandma's vagina.

• 1:07:33Speaker 05

  What the fuck are you even doing right now, dude? Why are you talking like?

• 1:07:37Speaker 05

  Can we blur that out?

• 1:07:41Speaker 05

  Can we blur that? I mean, it's like, is there nothing sacred, dude? This is my actual grandmother, the major like my family, dude. What the fuck?

• 1:07:49Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, she's an American hero, man.

• 1:07:51Speaker 03

  She's an American hero and a British hero.

• 1:07:55Speaker 05

  Gotta respect the vets. She actually met one of the Tuskegee here?

• 1:07:59Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, she sure did.

• 1:08:02Speaker 05

  I'm sorry.

• 1:08:04Mark Gagnon?

  With all due respect.

• 1:08:05Speaker 05

  Why you made that so sexual?

• 1:08:08Speaker 03

  Shout out to red tails, though.

• 1:08:10Mark Gagnon?

  I don't think that we talk about them enough.

• 1:08:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:08:16Speaker 05

  Do y'all even know three red tails? Y'all can't even name?

• 1:08:18Mark Gagnon?

  You thought that symbol was a little ten minutes ago?

• 1:08:21Speaker 07

  Laurence Fishburne? Michael B. Jordan?

• 1:08:27Speaker 07

  JB Vance?

• 1:08:27Speaker 05

  Can y'all, can y'all name three real red tails?

• 1:08:31Speaker 07

  No, the guy from, anyway.

• 1:08:33Speaker 05

  Nobody can.

• 1:08:34Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:08:35Speaker 07

  Like, real, real ones?

• 1:08:36Speaker 03

  I can't even name red tail.

• 1:08:37Speaker 05

  It is, it is a real shame that that, that, but we can't name three. They got a couple of movies.

• 1:08:44Speaker 07

  They did get a couple of movies.

• 1:08:45Speaker 05

  And they didn't lose a single bomber.

• 1:08:46Speaker 07

  No, they flew the P-51 Mustang.

• 1:08:48Speaker 05

  Yes, they did.

• 1:08:49Speaker 07

  But not at first.

• 1:08:50Speaker 05

  What were they flying at first?

• 1:08:51Speaker 07

  Something else. Diet Coke version of fighter pipe?

• 1:08:55Speaker 05

  Oh, they didn't give them the good shit?

• 1:08:56Speaker 07

  No, they didn't give them the good shit. Then they gave them the good shit, the P-51 Mustang.

• 1:09:01Mark Gagnon?

  Like, they do a food, they give us the chitling, then we turn that shit fire.

• 1:09:04Speaker 03

  That is true. You guys are pretty resilient.

• 1:09:07Speaker 05

  We're good.

• 1:09:07Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:08Speaker 05

  We're good.

• 1:09:09Speaker 03

  Wow, Miles, it feels like you want to contribute something. Miles is chomping at the bit.

• 1:09:16Speaker 03

  What do you want to say?

• 1:09:17Mark Gagnon?

  Tell us a fact about the.

• 1:09:18Speaker 03

  Technically, they lost six bombers.

• 1:09:21Speaker 07

  No, Mark just slid in a hell of a joke.

• 1:09:24Speaker 03

  What'd you say?

• 1:09:25Speaker 05

  What did I say?

• 1:09:27Speaker 07

  I'm not.

• 1:09:27Speaker 03

  Come on, is it an Easter egg?

• 1:09:29Speaker 07

  Ends on me.

• 1:09:29Speaker 03

  It's an Easter egg. Give us an Easter egg.

• 1:09:33Speaker 07

  It's a good Easter egg.

• 1:09:34Speaker 03

  Come on.

• 1:09:34Mark Gagnon?

  Son, isn't that a Kendrick concert? He's not saying the N word on stage.

• 1:09:41Speaker 03

  Yo, facts. Of all the women he could have brought on stage.

• 1:09:46Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:46Speaker 03

  A beautiful black woman he could have given that opportunity to. And no. What did he do? Brought up a crackress.

• 1:09:55Speaker 03

  Brought up a crackress to just scream the N word on stage. A crackress.

• 1:10:01Speaker 05

  That's fucked up.

• 1:10:02Speaker 03

  Oh my god.

• 1:10:02Mark Gagnon?

  I feel like I can't even say that. That's crazy.

• 1:10:04Speaker 03

  Crackress?

• 1:10:04Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:05Speaker 03

  You think that's too hateful?

• 1:10:06Mark Gagnon?

  That might be your shit.

• 1:10:07Speaker 03

  Well, that's all Kendrick is doing, bringing crackresses up on stage to scream the N word at his shows. And he wonders why so many white people show up.

• 1:10:16Speaker 03

  It's like a lotto. That's the moment.

• 1:10:20Speaker 07

  Wow.

• 1:10:21Mark Gagnon?

  They're like, damn, it's not the Trump rally? What happened?

• 1:10:25Speaker 03

  Alright, man.

• 1:10:26Speaker 07

  Look at these heroes. Shout out to them.

• 1:10:27Speaker 03

  Shout out to them, man. Let's get three, let's get a couple of names, because we gotta commit this to memory.

• 1:10:34Speaker 05

  Let me, let me get some.

• 1:10:35Speaker 03

  While you're doing that.

• 1:10:38Speaker 05

  Oh, we got Lee Archer.

• 1:10:40Speaker 03

  Lee Archer.

• 1:10:41Speaker 05

  Eugene Calvin Chatham. Benjamin Davis Jr. Gene Deracott.

• 1:10:47Speaker 03

  Okay, okay. We got it.

• 1:10:49Speaker 07

  Bro, some of them.

• 1:10:50Speaker 03

  Why give us too many? We're not gonna remember.

• 1:10:52Speaker 07

  Bro, some of them have sick nicknames and some of them have really shitty nicknames.

• 1:10:55Speaker 03

  Okay, give us the sickest nickname.

• 1:10:57Speaker 07

  Alright, so some of them are like Captain Martin Easy Julian, sick. First Lieutenant Joe Lightning Little. Ray Raygun Gannon. Like, those are all sick.

• 1:11:07Speaker 03

  Ray Ray.

• 1:11:08Speaker 07

  It's kind of fire.

• 1:11:10Mark Gagnon?

  That's fire.

• 1:11:11Speaker 07

  This guy's name is Flight Officer Maurice Bumps Wilson.

• 1:11:15Speaker 03

  Hey, yo. He was part of that civilist.

• 1:11:20Speaker 07

  Both.

• 1:11:22Speaker 03

  First Sergeant Coffee Coleman. Like, some of these suck.

• 1:11:24Speaker 05

  Oh, coffee. Yeah, I think coffee's kinda cool.

• 1:11:27Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 1:11:27Speaker 07

  One was Bag of Bones.

• 1:11:29Speaker 05

  What else we got?

• 1:11:30Speaker 07

  That's crazy.

• 1:11:30Speaker 03

  Mark's grandma was part of the...

• 1:11:32Speaker 05

  Stop, bro. Stop doing that. Can we edit that out?

• 1:11:35Speaker 04

  Nah, she wasn't in World War II, dude.

• 1:11:37Speaker 05

  She was Battle of the Bulge.

• 1:11:42Speaker 05

  Hey, I have family that are war heroes, I think, in World War II, by the way. You know the guy that puts the flag up at Hiroshima?

• 1:11:46Speaker 04

  That guy fucked your grandma?

• 1:11:47Speaker 05

  No! His last name is Gagnon.

• 1:11:51Speaker 03

  No way!

• 1:11:51Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:11:52Speaker 03

  I thought he put that thing in your grandma first.

• 1:11:54Speaker 07

  But wait, you mean The Fake Time?

• 1:11:57Speaker 04

  Oh, shit!

• 1:11:59Speaker 07

  You don't know?

• 1:12:00Speaker 05

  Nah, the real one. The real one. The real one, bro. Nah, they didn't fake it.

• 1:12:04Speaker 07

  There's a whole movie about the fake.

• 1:12:05Speaker 05

  They faked it, bro.

• 1:12:06Speaker 03

  You're gonna believe every movie, bro?

• 1:12:07Speaker 05

  Come on.

• 1:12:08Speaker 03

  Can we talk about Wicked for one moment?

• 1:12:10Speaker 04

  That shit is so fire, dude.

• 1:12:11Speaker 03

  Can we talk about Wicked for one single moment?

• 1:12:13Speaker 04

  It was so fire.

• 1:12:15Speaker 03

  You're gonna be popular.

• 1:12:18Speaker 05

  You're gonna be good at sports.

• 1:12:23Mark Gagnon?

  Fell asleep 15 minutes in.

• 1:12:25Speaker 03

  Can I tell you something? The first hour is trash.

• 1:12:29Mark Gagnon?

  Okay, that's wild.

• 1:12:30Speaker 03

  Horrible. I'm sitting there with my wife, I'm sitting there with her gay bestie, and I'm sitting there with one other friend of hers. Horrible for the first hour. I'm like, what the fuck I get myself roped into? They do the scene where, like, uh, what's her name? Ariana Grande's, like, finally ends up, like, trying to not be a shitty friend to this girl and actually protecting her and feeling bad that she was, you know, kinda pranking her? I didn't stop crying for next one.

• 1:12:59Speaker 03

  I didn't stop crying for next one. Alright, I'll give it another chance. Ariana Grande's and this girl...

• 1:13:04Speaker 04

  Fantastic, dude.

• 1:13:04Speaker 03

  Cynthia Erivo are absolutely... And I went in there going, this is gonna be... That's why I'm not watching this dumbass shit. They are sensational.

• 1:13:14Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:13:15Speaker 03

  Ariana Grande, I expected the other girl to be absolutely phenomenal, cuz she's like a trained Broadway actress, like, she's, she's, you know, you're probably one of the best. If you even, if you're a Broadway actress and you get this opportunity, so, and she blew me away.

• 1:13:32Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:13:32Speaker 03

  But this Ariana Grande, my expectation was lower because I'm like, okay, she's a very talented singer and like pop girl, but can she pull off the comedy?

• 1:13:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:13:40Speaker 03

  She's, her, her whole role was funny.

• 1:13:42Speaker 04

  And she murders it.

• 1:13:43Speaker 03

  Kills it.

• 1:13:44Speaker 04

  Murders it.

• 1:13:45Speaker 03

  And the both of them together, like, bro, I, I.

• 1:13:48Speaker 04

  Fantastic.

• 1:13:48Speaker 03

  I couldn't believe it. It was, I cried for two hours. Two hours straight.

• 1:13:55Speaker 05

  Had so many tears.

• 1:13:55Speaker 07

  That's a long ass movie.

• 1:13:57Speaker 04

  It is too long.

• 1:13:58Speaker 03

  It's three hours and it's only part one. I said, god damn.

• 1:14:01Speaker 04

  That's, it is too long. It's 20 minutes too long, but Ariana, so I've, she's like, I've seen little clips. She's like dreamed of this role. And.

• 1:14:10Speaker 03

  She dreamed of the other role, actually.

• 1:14:11Speaker 04

  Oh, she dreamed of being in this play.

• 1:14:13Speaker 03

  She wanted to play Elphaba.

• 1:14:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:14:15Speaker 03

  And then she ends up playing Glenn.

• 1:14:17Speaker 04

  But, but like, she was so excited to be a part of it. I guess she probably, I think she's like a theater kid at the end of the day.

• 1:14:22Speaker 03

  They all, yeah, like.

• 1:14:23Speaker 07

  She started on Broadway.

• 1:14:25Speaker 04

  So she was like, this is the dream play to be in. Like she would get emotional talking about it before the Wicked movie was even announced. Like the idea of playing her.

• 1:14:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:14:33Speaker 04

  And she, you, you root for people to do well in those roles, but a lot of times they kind of, kind of just do it. She fucking knocks it out of the park, dude.

• 1:14:41Speaker 03

  The guy.

• 1:14:42Speaker 04

  Fire.

• 1:14:42Speaker 03

  Chi Chu or something like that.

• 1:14:44Speaker 04

  John Chu.

• 1:14:44Speaker 03

  Right? He, uh, he directed Parasite. I think he directed the, uh.

• 1:14:50Speaker 04

  Oh, I didn't know it.

• 1:14:51Speaker 03

  He also did the, uh, what's it called? The, uh, the thing that, um,

• 1:14:56Speaker 03

  that Mr. Beast copied, what was it called?

• 1:14:57Speaker 05

  Squid Game.

• 1:14:58Speaker 03

  Squid Games.

• 1:14:59Speaker 07

  Wait, no, but, no, that's another, another guy.

• 1:15:03Speaker 05

  Oh, that's true.

• 1:15:04Speaker 07

  He, he directed Crazy Rich Asians.

• 1:15:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, he directed Crazy Rich Asians.

• 1:15:07Speaker 04

  He did that one.

• 1:15:08Speaker 05

  He did G.I. Joe.

• 1:15:08Speaker 03

  He did G.I. Joe.

• 1:15:09Speaker 07

  Step Up To The Streets.

• 1:15:11Speaker 03

  Yep, he also did that.

• 1:15:12Speaker 05

  In the Heights.

• 1:15:14Speaker 04

  He's got students.

• 1:15:15Speaker 05

  But no, he just happens to be Asian.

• 1:15:17Speaker 03

  Wait, what? No, no, no. I'm pretty sure he's the same guy, guy. So, uh.

• 1:15:21Speaker 04

  He's a tech window professor.

• 1:15:24Speaker 03

  No, no, but in all seriousness, he, the guy that directed, I thought this is something that I thought he did really well. This is based on a play, or like a musical right now. He shoots it and there's a lot of like dancing choreography that feel like a musical. But it's clearly a film, right? I don't know if I'm describing this right, but he could shoot it just as a film. And there is no musical aspect where like the whole town kind of jumps into dance and story and they all kind of connect together. Do you understand? Like you could just take the narrative seriously and run with that. But he incorporates what you would imagine the play is, I thought, very well, without it being too forced.

• 1:16:05Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:16:06Speaker 03

  So I thought that that was a really, and like kind of cool camera stuff, like he almost feels like everything is on a drone. Did you watch it?

• 1:16:12Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:16:13Speaker 03

  The cameras are, I need to like see the rigging for it because the cameras are moving through the world and moving through all the people dancing. So I don't know if they're on like a, like a kind of train track set type of thing.

• 1:16:25Speaker 04

  What's that?

• 1:16:25Speaker 03

  Or if it's from the, from the ceiling.

• 1:16:28Speaker 07

  It could be a cable cam, it could be that, it could be an FPV drone.

• 1:16:31Speaker 03

  It is, it's cool.

• 1:16:33Speaker 07

  He did In the Heights, which is also.

• 1:16:35Speaker 03

  Oh, so he's used to doing this.

• 1:16:37Speaker 07

  He came from, he did, um, after Step Up, he did like Bieber's Never Say Never, his big music doc.

• 1:16:43Speaker 04

  I think he directed Ronnie Chang's special.

• 1:16:46Speaker 03

  That's.

• 1:16:46Speaker 04

  I think he did Ali Wong's special also.

• 1:16:48Mark Gagnon?

  No, wow.

• 1:16:49Speaker 05

  I don't see that at all.

• 1:16:50Speaker 04

  He did Ali Wong's special. There's a Hello Kitty campaign.

• 1:16:54Speaker 05

  He did do Ken Jeong's You Complete Me, Ho.

• 1:16:57Speaker 04

  He did that one.

• 1:16:58Speaker 05

  That is true.

• 1:16:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:17:01Speaker 05

  And he also did Thai Cave Rescue as an executive.

• 1:17:07Speaker 03

  Everybody has to start somewhere.

• 1:17:08Speaker 04

  You gotta start somewhere, man.

• 1:17:10Speaker 05

  That is, that is actually true. Wow.

• 1:17:13Speaker 04

  Uh, I think also though, we didn't understand how big this play was when it came out.

• 1:17:17Speaker 03

  God damn.

• 1:17:18Speaker 04

  I watched it, I watched it like a year ago. My, I went in with super low expectations.

• 1:17:23Speaker 03

  You watched it live?

• 1:17:23Speaker 04

  I watched the Broadway play. It was like a date night. Yeah, yeah. And let me tell you something.

• 1:17:28Speaker 07

  No, no, no, the play is fine.

• 1:17:30Speaker 04

  The play is fantastic.

• 1:17:31Speaker 03

  You've seen the play, dude?

• 1:17:32Speaker 07

  Hell, yeah, I've seen it twice.

• 1:17:36Speaker 03

  That shit is incredible.

• 1:17:40Speaker 04

  Yo, I'm so glad you was there, thank you.

• 1:17:42Speaker 03

  That shit is incredible, I don't give a fuck.

• 1:17:45Speaker 04

  I wouldn't think it is gonna be whack, I'm doing this for my wife, and I was like, this is the best.

• 1:17:51Speaker 07

  It's incredible, son.

• 1:17:53Speaker 03

  I love you some bro.

• 1:17:54Speaker 07

  It's a musical, man.

• 1:17:55Speaker 05

  Alright, go on, go on.

• 1:17:56Speaker 04

  I saw Hamilton, I saw Book of Mormon, I saw Wicked, I had the lowest expectations for Wicked, but I thought it was the best one of the three. Those are the three plays I've seen.

• 1:18:03Speaker 07

  Nah, Hamilton's better, but.

• 1:18:04Speaker 03

  Do you wanna, do you guys wanna say what the storyline is?

• 1:18:07Speaker 04

  It is, it's kinda like, uh, they created a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, and it's about how the witch becomes the wicked witch, or whatever.

• 1:18:15Speaker 03

  And it, they, they basically, what's, I'm curious how they got the rights to this.

• 1:18:21Speaker 04

  Apparently there was a lot of like, fanfiction written about this, but then someone wrote a book.

• 1:18:25Speaker 03

  But like, this completely changes The Wizard of Oz.

• 1:18:29Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:18:30Speaker 03

  So if I'm the person who wrote The Wizard of Oz, I'm not gonna let a motherfucker write another movie that is before that completely changes the entire meaning of my life's greatest work.

• 1:18:40Speaker 05

  Rewrite the bible, and you're like, Satan's misunderstood. You're like, well, it's changed the bible, a little.

• 1:18:45Speaker 04

  They wrote a sequel to the bible, that shit goes way harder.

• 1:18:47Speaker 03

  Sequel? Sequel exists based on the information that you laid down.

• 1:18:54Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:18:54Speaker 07

  The book is public domain.

• 1:18:56Speaker 04

  Ah, that's why, cuz it was so many, it was like a hundred years ago, whatever.

• 1:18:59Speaker 07

  1900. And then Gregory Maguire wrote the book, Wicked, and then he made the book.

• 1:19:04Speaker 05

  So we could do our own, we could do our own fanfiction of the book.

• 1:19:07Speaker 03

  We could make another version of Wicked.

• 1:19:09Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:19:10Speaker 07

  Well. Sorta.

• 1:19:12Speaker 04

  Wait, what do you mean?

• 1:19:13Speaker 07

  It's not public domain.

• 1:19:14Speaker 04

  Fuck.

• 1:19:15Speaker 03

  No, no, no, we could do a prequel.

• 1:19:16Speaker 04

  Another Wizard of Oz.

• 1:19:17Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:19:18Speaker 04

  But another prequel, but instead of Wicked, it's just a little different, it's about Mark's grandma, it's called Dicky.

• 1:19:26Speaker 07

  She was just misunderstood.

• 1:19:27Speaker 04

  I wanted me, poppy!

• 1:19:31Speaker 04

  She was a war.

• 1:19:32Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 1:19:32Speaker 04

  She was not riding a broomstick in this one, somehow.

• 1:19:36Speaker 03

  Alright, so that was fire.

• 1:19:38Mark Gagnon?

  I had to give it another.

• 1:19:39Speaker 03

  So good, dude.

• 1:19:40Mark Gagnon?

  I saw Gladiator 2.

• 1:19:41Speaker 05

  Oh, you saw that?

• 1:19:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:19:43Speaker 04

  I saw Wicked twice.

• 1:19:45Speaker 03

  What?

• 1:19:46Speaker 04

  My wife wanted to go a second time, my nephew wanted to go.

• 1:19:48Mark Gagnon?

  That's crazy. Now that's gay as fuck.

• 1:19:50Speaker 03

  Six hours of Wicked.

• 1:19:52Speaker 04

  It was still fire. It was still fire.

• 1:19:54Mark Gagnon?

  I gotta see it.

• 1:19:55Speaker 03

  Six hours of Wicked.

• 1:19:56Speaker 04

  I didn't want to go. The second time was still, I was like, it's still good?

• 1:20:00Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:20:01Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:20:02Speaker 05

  Twice to play, twice the movie.

• 1:20:04Speaker 04

  No, once to play.

• 1:20:05Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:20:05Speaker 03

  Wow. Um, okay.

• 1:20:07Speaker 04

  But between us.

• 1:20:08Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:20:08Speaker 04

  It's a lot of time watching Wicked.

• 1:20:09Speaker 05

  Have you seen The Wiz?

• 1:20:11Speaker 04

  No, I haven't.

• 1:20:12Speaker 03

  Oh, that's, um, come on, bro.

• 1:20:14Speaker 05

  That's the Tuskegee, man. Wizard of Oz? We gotta do a prequel of The Wiz, let's do the Wicked of The Wiz, dude.

• 1:20:20Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:20:21Speaker 05

  The Wick. That'd be fire.

• 1:20:23Speaker 03

  I have to.

• 1:20:26Speaker 05

  What is The Wiz, is it different than Wizard of Oz, or is it just Black Wizard of Oz?

• 1:20:28Mark Gagnon?

  Black Wizard of Oz. Respect.

• 1:20:30Speaker 03

  Yeah. I know that we mentioned earlier, but I just want to say, thank you so much, everybody came out this past weekend for the special taping.

• 1:20:37Speaker 04

  Bang, bang, bang.

• 1:20:37Speaker 03

  Uh, thank you so much, everybody who worked on this special, not only just this weekend, but like, developing, putting this show together, like, making my kind of vision and dreams come true, and that is Dove, that is Mark, that is Cheryl and Rob, that is Vala, beautiful videos he put together, Shifty, I just thank you guys, so, and the million, my wife, and my daughter, and, um, who played the, you know, integral roles, and if you guys have seen the live tour, you know. Um, so yeah, I just want to say thank you guys so much, and it was just an awesome experience to see all those people out there, man. Say again.

• 1:21:13Speaker 05

  Postito.

• 1:21:13Speaker 03

  Oh, Derek Poston, of course, oh my god. But, uh, so, yeah, and tons of other people I'm just not even thinking about right now, so. Thank you guys so much for being there, and it was, it was really cool, especially with everything that happened with the venue, and like, the city just still coming out and supporting me on Thanksgiving weekend, and, uh, that just felt great, and it, yeah, it, yeah, it just felt really cool. Now is the hard part, now we gotta get into the edit, honestly.

• 1:21:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:21:35Speaker 03

  But, um. And just filming a special is just so interesting, like of this size. You know, we've only done things that we've done ourselves before. And this is the first time where we're like, okay, we're stepping it up. So in order to step it up, you have to hire companies. Why do you have to hire companies? Because there's all this minutia that we don't worry about when we're filming a show together. We're throwing up some cameras. We're like, all right, we're gonna go and edit together. When you're doing something of this size, it's like, okay, we need to make sure we have releases for everybody that could be on camera. We need to make sure that we have the union signatory signed off and the scheduling and timesheet. So you, basically, you're hiring out these different companies. And I thought an interesting thing that happens when you're filming it is you have

• 1:22:16Speaker 03

  to be super diligent about what you want and your vision, because each department that is working on it, the interests aren't exactly aligned.

• 1:22:31Speaker 03

  Obviously, everybody wants there to be a great special, right? And we have like, for example, we have the best audio guy in the business, Thomas Cassett. Is the best audio guy in the business, hands down, it's not even close.

• 1:22:42Speaker 03

  And Thomas is telling me certain things that will protect his audio for me. He wants me to have the cleanest audio. He's like, if we mic you too much, then you could be higher mics than the crowd and we want to make sure that that mix sounds good. But if we mic me too little, then I won't have enough control of the crowd, you know? So he's trying to protect the best version of his audio. Thank God we have someone who understands what we want as well. But I can imagine someone who doesn't know stand up, who's just recording a special, is going, oh no, we gotta keep the mic down because it's gonna fuck up my audio, not realizing what the crowd needs. The crowd needs you to fucking hit them in the chest.

• 1:23:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:23:18Speaker 03

  Same with video. Video wants it to look beautiful. You know? One thing I think that a lot of times people make mistakes for, in a, in a special, they'll do what's called a line cut. I don't know if this makes any sense, but essentially they're doing a live edit of the special. Trying to edit stand up live is, is like catching a fart with chopsticks. It's not even possible. Like, because you would have to be so fluent. In the comedian's material and timing, in order to build tension, build tension, then release it. With comedy, it's not like music where you can just cut through a bunch of different angles and make it look epic. When you do that, you distract.

• 1:23:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:23:57Speaker 03

  It's kind of like horror where you gotta like build, push in, push in, build, build, and punchline, release.

• 1:24:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:24:03Speaker 03

  If you don't know exactly when I'm gonna release, you're fucked.

• 1:24:06Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:24:06Speaker 03

  So it's like, but in their mind, they're like, okay, let me make this shot look really cool. Let me make it look so beautiful so I can offer value to this project. Everybody wants to offer value, but sometimes they're offering value isn't what's gonna be best for the project. So you need to go in, thank God I have the fucking ride or die best team on the fucking planet, who are like, this is what we need, and we need you guys to understand this is what's gonna make the project the best. And just articulating that and really fucking dialing it in. It's just an interesting thing, I think that like, especially comedians that they're listening to should be really, you should be really connected to your project. Don't just go out there and film it and think it's gonna be okay. Cause it won't. Cause most people don't understand standup.

• 1:24:51Speaker 03

  Even if they've done specials, they just don't understand what makes it good. And I think you get into these situations where you're with these people who have done tons of specials, and at first, there's like a little bit of, you're a little deferential to them. And then we had kind of had a moment where just like, hold on, hold on. Yeah, we posted things on YouTube and Instagram, but we sold out Madison Square Garden twice selling posts, posting things on YouTube and Instagram. We clearly know what we're doing.

• 1:25:17Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:25:17Speaker 03

  I don't know if there's anybody else who sold out the garden without having a network special.

• 1:25:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:25:21Speaker 03

  So it's like, I'm not gonna belittle what we did because of the platform is YouTube. Clearly, we know what we're doing. And it was cool to have that

• 1:25:31Speaker 03

  team together where we're like, this is what we want, we're all down, alright. Guys, I know you think you guys know which one, this is what we need. Trust us.

• 1:25:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:25:40Speaker 03

  And it was even cool to go from Friday to Saturday. Like, we made our adjustments from Friday to Saturday and just to see it become our show.

• 1:25:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:25:50Speaker 03

  By Saturday.

• 1:25:51Speaker 05

  Doing a special, you just introduce so many other creatives. You know what I mean? Like, and doing shows on the road, it's just like, you are the single creative vision if you're a comic doing that.

• 1:25:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:59Speaker 05

  But then as soon as you're filming, it's like, okay, we're introducing like wardrobe creative. And that might be different than how it normally is. And then the visual creative, the sound creative.

• 1:26:08Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:26:08Speaker 05

  And there's tons of other creative that get brought in and they are all fighting for their personal agenda to be fulfilled.

• 1:26:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, and they're all also talented in their own right and successful. And, and I, I like to look at them thinking altruistically. They want it to be the best and they trust their talent to make it the best. So it's managing that, hey, I know that you think that this is what's best for it. We think this is what's best for it and let me die on my sword. Cause there's one thing I cannot live with. It's your decision being wrong.

• 1:26:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:26:39Speaker 03

  I can live with mine.

• 1:26:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:26:41Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? But I'm not gonna live with yours when I told you I want something else.

• 1:26:45Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:26:45Speaker 03

  You know? And I just thought it was so fire. Like, there's this great moment like Friday and even going into Saturday, we're just like, our, our internal team, like our fucking people. Everybody was just on the same page. It was just like, this is what needs to be done. And you were there Friday and you were there Saturday.

• 1:27:03Speaker 05

  And I saw the difference.

• 1:27:04Speaker 03

  And it was like, we, everybody just stepped up. Voices got loud, everybody got stern. And I think everybody started to realize like, oh, these aren't like a ragtag group. Like, they know what the fuck they want.

• 1:27:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:27:16Speaker 03

  And, yeah, it was just, I felt really grateful. I'll stop talking about it, but I felt very grateful to have all you guys there to back up that vision. And it gave me a lot of confidence. And, uh, yeah, I just wanna say thank you.

• 1:27:31Speaker 04

  Thank you so much.

• 1:27:32Speaker 05

  But also thank you, you've empowered your team throughout, you know?

• 1:27:35Speaker 03

  I mean, I, I trust you guys implicitly. I was just like, I was like, yo, Shifty, Mark.

• 1:27:41Speaker 04

  Get what you need. And then they got what they needed, bro. It was just.

• 1:27:47Speaker 05

  All of it looked beautiful, but I'm, we, you know, confirming what.

• 1:27:50Mark Gagnon?

  You're saying, but no, it was it was exciting. It looked it looked great. A shit ton of cameras there. It's gonna be a fun edit.

• 1:27:59Speaker 03

  You know what's so funny?

• 1:28:00Mark Gagnon?

  I went to the video village. I was like, yeah.

• 1:28:02Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, I was like, damn.

• 1:28:03Mark Gagnon?

  Command center.

• 1:28:06Speaker 03

  And you know what's interesting is they have these things called robo cams, right?

• 1:28:10Mark Gagnon?

  I saw the fire.

• 1:28:12Speaker 03

  So it's this is fascinating. Robo robo cams like automatic cameras. We've like seen them on the road in certain venues. They just kind of like look and move like a security cam footage. This was the newest version of these robo cams. We only had two up. I don't know if I'm ever gonna film a special.

• 1:28:30Speaker 03

  They're a little cylinder. They could be anywhere in the room.

• 1:28:35Speaker 03

  And you don't even notice what they are, but the movement now digitally. It's like it is the push ins are better than somebody racking focus and pushing it. The movement on them and and now you don't have 14 different people. Not only do they move, not only move up and down, they're pushing like they're moving on different axes, only taking up a fraction of the space.

• 1:29:01Mark Gagnon?

  I saw one on the side of the stage is going up and down. I was like, oh.

• 1:29:05Speaker 07

  See the movement for those? Like you said, three axes same time, just like.

• 1:29:09Mark Gagnon?

  What is it called? The acronym is like P something T camera?

• 1:29:13Speaker 07

  Yeah, PTZ.

• 1:29:16Mark Gagnon?

  And not just like the high end version of.

• 1:29:19Speaker 03

  It was funny like.

• 1:29:20Mark Gagnon?

  I was looking into that for the studio and I was like, oof.

• 1:29:22Speaker 03

  Because you don't even have to be in the room.

• 1:29:25Speaker 07

  Expensive.

• 1:29:26Speaker 03

  They're really expensive, but if that, you know, prices will come down that eventually what happens. But like a like a perfect example is like, I told them, this is my note always when we're gonna do like a live show. I even tell Shifty, I go, nobody should see a camera. If people see a camera, they they get nervous. They they're like afraid to just react and just thinking about themselves. And the best comedy show is people get to leave themselves, right? And the first show, all of a sudden, I'm up there and there's this camera almost called a gimbal, meaning it basically, you guys know this, but I'm just describing people at home. Like, it balances the camera perfectly, so someone could walk with it. So he's not holding it on his shoulder. It's this mechanism that perfectly balances it. He starts walking down the aisle. I think he's gonna get one shot and then leave. He's walking down the aisle for like 15 minutes.

• 1:30:11Speaker 03

  I just stopped the show. And I go, "You need to get the fuck out of here."

• 1:30:15Mark Gagnon?

  Nash was so fine.

• 1:30:17Speaker 03

  Right? Because-

• 1:30:18Mark Gagnon?

  But then you went right back into it and got a laugh immediately.

• 1:30:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, that was fun.

• 1:30:22Mark Gagnon?

  To have the crowd on a yo-yo like that is fucking woo.

• 1:30:25Speaker 03

  I mean, but look, yo, shout out the crowd, but like, also, it's like, to me, I'm going, "You're making me feel fake." If I don't acknowledge that camera, it's like a girl with huge tits walking down the aisle.

• 1:30:38Speaker 03

  I can't not say something about that, you know? Right? You got it, huh?

• 1:30:43Speaker 04

  Right? You get up here immediately.

• 1:30:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, you say exactly. But, uh, but it, so it's just one of those things where it's like, and this is, like, the, the, the, uh, the video team was pitching me all these cameras that would like, come backstage and point out backstage. I go, "Guys, the second the audience sees a camera stick out backstage, they're gonna be petrified." Yeah. Now, would it look cool? Sure. Has anything been funnier because it looked cool in the history of comedy? No, you know what's funny? Chris Rock's Bigger and Blacker when the cameras are literally shaking. Yeah. Because they're on sticks and the ground is moving. Yeah. Like, that, to me, the grittiness of that is just beautiful. I go, "Guys, I don't want anybody to see a camera. Capture the fucking show. Make them believe it's just a regular show."

• 1:31:31Speaker 03

  You know, and I think that is like the number one most important thing. Yeah. The most important thing you can do is make it look like this is just a regular show. Honestly, I wouldn't have even announced Netflix taping if we didn't have all the issues with the venue and all that other stuff. I would just be like, "Hey, we're just, here's some shows, come on out." But, because you want to capture that kind of authenticity. And I hate being a fake on stage. Yeah. And having cameras walk in and me not see them, or something popping behind me, makes me feel like I'm fake to you. Because you know that you see it. I know I see it, but we're both pretending it's not there. Yeah. So, yeah, just cool things to learn. And maybe if anybody's watching that's into comedy or producing comedy, they could take something from it.

• 1:32:14Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's fire. I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

• 1:32:17Speaker 03

  Stop, stop. You keep apologizing, bro. Come on.

• 1:32:19Speaker 04

  Dude, I asked my mom, who loves you, by the way.

• 1:32:23Speaker 03

  She reached out, by the way, and she said, "Congratulations."

• 1:32:26Speaker 04

  She loves you like a son.

• 1:32:26Speaker 03

  I told her, "I love her."

• 1:32:27Speaker 04

  I said, "I can leave a day early. Andrew's taping a special." And then she goes, "Stay an extra day. I don't spend enough time with you." And I was like, "All right, well, fuck. I'm here. I'm here." But I saw it at MSG. It was, and you know, I'm a huge, everybody knows I'm a huge fan of you. It was your best work by a mile, and that is like, it was awesome. It was so fucking awesome. And I heard it's gotten even better, and I'm so excited to see it. And obviously, the team, you guys all fucking kill it. I'm so excited to see it.

• 1:32:53Speaker 03

  I'm excited for people to see it.

• 1:32:54Speaker 05

  Do you know when people can see it? Or do you even want to float that? Are we keeping that in the tub?

• 1:32:58Speaker 03

  We have a date that we're kind of locking in, but I want to, you know, get through everything.

• 1:33:02Speaker 04

  Yeah, don't announce nothing. It's the fucking worst thing you can do. Yeah.

• 1:33:07Speaker 03

  Black History Month.

• 1:33:10Speaker 03

  No, but, uh, but yeah, I think it'll be, I think it'll be really fun. And I'm just very grateful for the team, very grateful to everybody who came out. And, you know, there's this feeling that there are people there who've probably been at my first fucking show I did at Gotham.

• 1:33:22Speaker 04

  Crazy.

• 1:33:23Speaker 03

  They were at that. And there's a feeling like, so much in comedy, the beginning years are you winning over people who are skeptical of you. You're doing a bar show, and they're like, "How did I even end up here?"

• 1:33:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:33:34Speaker 03

  And this is people going, "Hey, I've been fucking with you for 10 years. I want you to fucking rock this tonight."

• 1:33:40Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:33:41Speaker 03

  And that is an awesome feeling that I hope all of you guys get and other comics get, too. That is pretty cool.

• 1:33:47Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:33:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's fire. Anyway, thank you so much. Thanksgiving, tell me.

• 1:33:52Speaker 04

  Oh, I had the best Thanksgiving I've had in decades.

• 1:33:56Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:33:56Speaker 04

  My wife and I went home, uh, and it was gonna be a little comfortable, because, you know, I haven't really talked to my dad in like nine months.

• 1:34:03Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:34:03Speaker 04

  Yeah, I talked to my mom about that. My wife is like, just the whole vibe is different.

• 1:34:08Speaker 03

  You've been so happy recently. You've been sleeping better.

• 1:34:11Speaker 04

  I've been, dude.

• 1:34:12Speaker 03

  Hilarious. I mean, you've never sold more tickets. Like, life has been fucking good.

• 1:34:17Speaker 04

  It's really unbelievable. So I tell my mom, I voice these concerns, and my mom, my mom goes to my dad, apparently, and goes, "All right, here's the options. You either apologize to your sons for everything you've done, or you're not here for Thanksgiving."

• 1:34:30Speaker 05

  Oh, shit.

• 1:34:31Speaker 03

  Your mom is fucking sick.

• 1:34:32Speaker 04

  My dad bought a ticket to India.

• 1:34:38Speaker 04

  No way. He wasn't there. It was awesome. I had such a, we had such a happy time, dude. My mom moved into a new house. I'm blessed enough, thank you God, to be able to take care of the mortgage on it. She took care of a big down payment, but like, but she's like built this house with us in mind. She's like, I want you guys to come here whenever.

• 1:34:58Speaker 03

  Oh, so she got to do Thanksgiving at her, at the new house?

• 1:35:00Speaker 04

  Well, we go somewhere else for Thanksgiving every year, but like, we were there in her, in her house that she, you know, we lost, she lost her house like 20 years ago or whatever. So this is like, she has a home finally. And the upstairs is just about like, this is for my kids and whatever. If you guys come visit. We stayed downstairs the whole time. We're having so much fun. My mom can't let me walk upstairs. We didn't leave, we're like, this is the best vibe in the world. This is awesome.

• 1:35:21Speaker 03

  Did you guys stay with her?

• 1:35:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, we stayed with her. Yeah.

• 1:35:24Speaker 03

  And how was everything with your mom and, and Jocelyn?

• 1:35:27Speaker 04

  Oh, they're great, dude. They're great. Everybody's getting along well. My mom is so thankful. She even like, she said some crazy shit to my wife before she apologized to him and was like, I, I like a sincere, I understand what I did and that was like, I was out of line. I'm never gonna do that thing again. It was like a really, it was the best Thanksgiving I've ever had in my life, dude. It was awesome. Real addition by subtraction kind of thing, you know what I mean?

• 1:35:47Speaker 03

  It sounds phenomenal.

• 1:35:48Speaker 04

  It was awesome. I was so sad to leave. And my mom is still fucking crying about it. I gotta go home or I gotta spend like weeks there or something, but.

• 1:35:55Speaker 03

  How can you do that? How can you build that in?

• 1:35:58Speaker 04

  Yeah, I think if we have a week where we're not doing the pod, just fly home and then we, if I got work to do, whatever, I just do it remotely. Like any stand-up work, I'll fly out to the show from there or whatever. But yeah, we just gotta figure this out. And my wife is more on board now. She's like, yeah, it's better. Just, you know, if, if we just get them a hotel or something, we're good, you know?

• 1:36:15Speaker 04

  It was a night and day difference. I can't even explain.

• 1:36:18Speaker 03

  Bro, shout out your mom. Yeah, no.

• 1:36:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:36:23Speaker 03

  That's fire. Do you think she was surprised by the, him being like, well, I'm gonna go?

• 1:36:26Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:36:27Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:36:27Speaker 04

  No.

• 1:36:28Speaker 03

  She wasn't.

• 1:36:28Speaker 04

  None of us were surprised. I just laughed when I pulled back and I was like, that's so funny. Cause he was gone, he's going for like a month and I was like, wow, that's a long time to go.

• 1:36:37Speaker 03

  Yeah. An apology is free. A month in India is probably a couple thousand dollars at least.

• 1:36:41Speaker 04

  And normally I'm, I'm paying for the ticket. This time I'm not paying for fucking ticket, but he was like, I got it.

• 1:36:46Speaker 03

  You're paying for it. You're paying for it.

• 1:36:49Speaker 03

  Money's coming back. Alright, so it was a good time?

• 1:36:52Speaker 04

  Oh, it was awesome, dude. It was the best. I was so happy. Like truly, the best week home in a long time.

• 1:36:58Speaker 03

  That makes me happy.

• 1:36:58Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:36:59Speaker 03

  Okay. Wild. I mean, special stuff was awesome. And then just like first Thanksgiving with the little baby was. Yeah. So what did you guys do? What was your Thanksgiving? We just snowed up with the baby. Literally, it was just like rainy outside and I just like took him for a walk. At least he made some turkey.

• 1:37:12Speaker 04

  You're talking about your son? You're talking about Miles?

• 1:37:13Speaker 03

  Both, actually.

• 1:37:14Speaker 04

  Miles came over.

• 1:37:15Mark Gagnon?

  I'm the first one.

• 1:37:16Speaker 03

  They both came. Me and Miles go for so many walks now. Cause I take the little baby for walks. So I'm like, I just was like, hey, I'm gonna go out for two hours. I just call him Miles and we just go for a little baby.

• 1:37:24Mark Gagnon?

  Wait, does he also use your baby to pick up chicks?

• 1:37:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:37:27Mark Gagnon?

  He did that with my dog.

• 1:37:29Speaker 03

  Miles, who was that girl that you brought to the special taping?

• 1:37:32Speaker 07

  Just a friend.

• 1:37:33Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:37:34Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, the one you left early with?

• 1:37:36Speaker 07

  Yeah, just a friend.

• 1:37:37Mark Gagnon?

  Oh. He left from the party kind of early.

• 1:37:39Speaker 07

  Yeah, he did leave kind of early.

• 1:37:40Speaker 03

  I was like, yo.

• 1:37:41Mark Gagnon?

  It was the highlight of the Thanksgiving.

• 1:37:43Speaker 03

  Party time.

• 1:37:43Mark Gagnon?

  I was like, Miles, why are you leaving so soon?

• 1:37:46Speaker 07

  I'm so thankful that my best friend lives down the street and invited me over. I got to cook a little bit.

• 1:37:50Speaker 04

  Picture of this girl, or?

• 1:37:52Mark Gagnon?

  Hmm?

• 1:37:52Speaker 04

  Anybody have a picture?

• 1:37:53Speaker 07

  I think we snapped some photos, yeah.

• 1:37:54Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:37:54Speaker 04

  I would love to see.

• 1:37:55Speaker 07

  Yeah, we'll get that up.

• 1:37:56Speaker 03

  So you're just a friend? Have you guys made out?

• 1:37:59Speaker 07

  In the past, yeah, in the past.

• 1:38:02Speaker 03

  But now you don't? He's saying pasta.

• 1:38:05Speaker 07

  That's not good.

• 1:38:06Speaker 03

  Wait, wait, now you don't make out anymore?

• 1:38:08Speaker 07

  No.

• 1:38:08Speaker 03

  Why is that, you think?

• 1:38:09Speaker 07

  Uh, we just don't. We sort of made a decision not to.

• 1:38:14Speaker 04

  Whose fault do you think it was?

• 1:38:15Speaker 07

  Mine.

• 1:38:17Mark Gagnon?

  Hey, let me, let me help you out. Yo, Dub, I saw you with two chicks too.

• 1:38:20Speaker 03

  Yo, Dub, I saw you with the fucking tens.

• 1:38:23Mark Gagnon?

  I saw you like doing like, what's it called? Juggling and shit like that.

• 1:38:29Speaker 03

  I tried, I tried, I tried. Hey, I tried.

• 1:38:37Mark Gagnon?

  I know, I tried.

• 1:38:38Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:38:39Mark Gagnon?

  But yeah, you did have to.

• 1:38:40Speaker 03

  I know, it's a hard word, juggling.

• 1:38:42Speaker 07

  Wow, what'd you do?

• 1:38:45Speaker 07

  Bro, every, it was so funny. Every person would come by and be like, yo, Miles, who the fuck is that over there?

• 1:38:51Speaker 03

  I was like, who, who, who?

• 1:38:53Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:54Speaker 03

  What was happening?

• 1:38:55Speaker 07

  What was happening?

• 1:38:55Speaker 03

  What'd you do?

• 1:38:56Mark Gagnon?

  There was two of them, dude. They were both in my row. He was like going to speak to one and then he had to go around and speak to the other.

• 1:39:03Speaker 07

  Kept the headset on.

• 1:39:04Speaker 03

  Can I tell you guys a funny ass story?

• 1:39:06Mark Gagnon?

  You fucking sisters?

• 1:39:07Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:39:08Mark Gagnon?

  Damn.

• 1:39:09Speaker 03

  You're, you're a really bad guy.

• 1:39:10Speaker 04

  That is fine.

• 1:39:11Speaker 03

  Can I tell you guys a funny Derek Poson story? So Derek Poston, shout out Derek, we love Derek, motherfucking goat. Derek is, Derek, we're at the special, right? And Matt Damon came to the special. I know that sounds like I'm doing like a brag thing, whatever like that. But yes, and so he came to the special. Now Derek is the biggest movie buff fan. Like, he's not even a movie fan, he's like a movie aficionado. Like, in the way that people like cars and the way that people like love wine, he loves film. Like, he is entrenched in it, he loves it.

• 1:39:47Speaker 03

  And after, after the show, I was like, hey, let's go down, you know, you say hi to Matt or whatever like that, right? They're in a room, we go in, and Derek walks in the room and then stands next to Matt, right? And then out of nowhere, paparazzi flashes start going. They are fucking blasting. I'm like, Matt's like dazed, like it's just, he has no clue. He's going to boom, boom. And in every picture, Derek's just like.

• 1:40:18Speaker 03

  He's got his hands on it, laughing and trumping it up. Go to Derek's Instagram right now.

• 1:40:25Speaker 03

  I had to tell the photographer, I go, okay, guys, I think we got it. After where Derek goes, and he goes, Schultz, I'm sorry, man. I had to get a pic with the Martian.

• 1:40:39Speaker 04

  Oh, that's fire, no.

• 1:40:45Speaker 03

  I got Diddy crap.

• 1:40:49Speaker 03

  Yo, in case you guys didn't see the first four.

• 1:40:53Speaker 07

  The caption is so funny, it's brilliant.

• 1:40:55Speaker 03

  Go to the caption.

• 1:40:55Speaker 07

  Number one, me, Andrew Schulz, Matt Damon. Two, me, Schultz and the Martian. Three, me and Good Will Hunting. Like, he just keeps naming them.

• 1:41:03Speaker 03

  Me, Hesey, and we bought a zoo. Nah, it was just so cool.

• 1:41:09Speaker 04

  We bought a zoo, it's funny.

• 1:41:10Speaker 03

  It was just so, yo, Matt's funny. I always want Derek to tell the story, but like, before, before the show starts, either Dove or Derek goes up to Matt and they go, hey, man, you want to do a few minutes? And Matt goes, no, no, no, I'm good. You said it, no, no, I'm good. And then Matt goes to Derek, is he going up? And Derek goes, yeah. He goes, I will, and Matt goes, I will be silently judging you. And then just walks away.

• 1:41:35Speaker 03

  Derek's hero. So Derek gotta go open the special like, what? Was he serious? That's funny. No, he was dope. Nah, it was great. It was very cool. And thank you. A lot of people came out, showed love, man. Just all the family, all the boys. Like, yeah, it was really great. Great, great weekends, man. Great.

• 1:41:51Speaker 04

  Yo, how was your first Thanksgiving with Shiloh? And cause it's also the day before you film your special.

• 1:41:55Speaker 03

  Yeah. So that was the thing. It was like the day before the film special. And, uh, you know, you're on baby duty. Like, this is, this is the greatest thing is like.

• 1:42:07Speaker 03

  So Thanksgiving, Shiloh starts teething.

• 1:42:11Speaker 04

  Oh, wow.

• 1:42:12Speaker 03

  I don't know if you've experienced teething with a baby. It was like a really difficult thing. They, they remember experienced this pain and this consistent pain for a while. So they just don't really know what's going on. They're like a little cranky, eating is hard, sleeping is hard. Everything's just difficult. And, um, we went and we had Thanksgiving at this restaurant, Teresi, and it was just amazing. And, uh, we didn't want to do it in the house. Cause I'll be honest, I was like, it's gonna be a whole day long thing and I might need to prep and I don't want to leave you alone.

• 1:42:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:42:38Speaker 03

  Like, it was just, so let's just go do the restaurant. We, and it was awesome. It was great. Came back and, um, Shiloh starts crying. And we put her down, she wakes back up, starts crying. Put her down, wakes back up, starts crying. And, uh, it's like 11, starts crying, 12. And Emma is a trooper. She's in there. She's locked in. She's trying to, at like, maybe 12 or 1 or something. She comes in and she goes, hey, she's just, I, I, what do you think we should do? She's not telling me to do anything. She knows it's the big day tomorrow. I'm like, all right, let me see if I could, let me see if I could just get her down. She's like, no, no, I know that you gotta do your thing. I was like, let me see if I can get her down. And I go in there and I start trying to, and she's, every time she,

• 1:43:23Speaker 03

  she's crying so much that she starts to like hyperventilate a little bit. So even when she gets ready to go to sleep, she'll be about to pass out and then just go. Because she's still catching her breath, right? And it was one of these moments where it was like, a really cool reminder, where it's like, they don't care about any of that stuff. Yeah. Your special doesn't matter. What you do in your career doesn't matter. That's not important to them at all. The only thing that matters is you're there for them. And it was like a cool moment, like a cool dad moment where it was like, am I really gonna go do this special about how much I want to have a baby?

• 1:44:05Speaker 03

  And all the trials and tribulations that it took for us to get this baby? And then abandon my baby the night before? You know, I make things bigger than they actually are. It's just my kid's teething and this just happened to be the night before the special. But in my head, I was like, this is one of those moments where you decide what's more important. Is it more important that I get a little more sleep? So that I'm rested? Or is it more important that I'm like there for the baby? And so I just gave Emma the baby.

• 1:44:33Speaker 03

  No, no, so I fucking got her down. And it was like, and she woke up a few hours later and Emma, you know, you know, took care of it. But it was a cool like reminder. Yeah. That none of this stuff matters to them. Yeah. And we gotta be aware of that 100%. Yeah. That that they're the most important thing. And everything else is no longer priority. No matter how fucking big it is. And I'm very, I am grateful that that even presented itself on a night of that importance. And I made the, what I think was the right decision. Yeah. Which is fucking lock in. That's beautiful. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, it was, it was cool. Shout out to Schultz.

• 1:45:09Mark Gagnon?

  I got a little funny story from Thanksgiving. So Thanksgiving, I did it with my dad. And then on the weekend, I did it with my mom. But on Thursday, so I go to my dad's place. You know, catching him up on the year, just like, hey, you know, studios are going well, all this stuff. He's super proud of me. And I'm like, let me get the good stuff out now. And so I come, I show him the Cybertruck. He's like blown away. He's like, this is from the future, all this good stuff. And then I sit him down as I'm looking at Obama here and Martin Luther King picture here. And then I'm like, Dad, I did an episode with Trump.

• 1:45:41Mark Gagnon?

  Bro, he almost kicked me out of Thanksgiving.

• 1:45:43Speaker 03

  No way.

• 1:45:45Speaker 05

  He was pissed?

• 1:45:46Mark Gagnon?

  Nah, he was like laughing about it, but yeah.

• 1:45:48Speaker 03

  Oh, that's so funny.

• 1:45:51Mark Gagnon?

  I knew I had to get the good stuff out first.

• 1:45:54Speaker 03

  But that's fine that you guys are, you guys, your relationship is good and building.

• 1:45:57Mark Gagnon?

  Nah, we are good. It's just like, I be busy, he be busy.

• 1:46:00Speaker 03

  For sure. We all are. But, oh my god.

• 1:46:03Speaker 05

  He pardoned you.

• 1:46:05Speaker 03

  Did he have any questions about it?

• 1:46:07Mark Gagnon?

  Uh, yeah. He was just like, how is he in person? And I'm like, you know, he's how you used to think about him years ago. Just that guy. He's a New Yorker.

• 1:46:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, it must be crazy for our parents to see these things.

• 1:46:22Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah.

• 1:46:22Speaker 03

  Like to see us sit down with a president.

• 1:46:24Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, he's like, what?

• 1:46:26Speaker 03

  I'm like, I'm trying to wrap my head around that, like.

• 1:46:29Speaker 04

  One of my cousins goes, that was real? I was like, you think I made that up? I'm a fucking loser, do you think I am?

• 1:46:36Speaker 03

  But that is like, you want your kid to do well, you want your kid to succeed. Like you, you have all these like hopes and you want them to have friends. You have all these things and then they interview the president of the United States of America.

• 1:46:50Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:46:50Speaker 03

  Like, there's gotta be a little moment of like extreme pride. Regardless of the politics, you're like, whoa, like, I made that thing.

• 1:46:59Speaker 03

  They're talking to the president.

• 1:47:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:47:00Speaker 03

  Driving a fucking future car.

• 1:47:04Mark Gagnon?

  Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, it's cool.

• 1:47:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm even thinking about that with my kid. I'm like, thinking about the fact that he's gonna do things in life, like blows my mind. Like, it's like hard to like wrap my head, like, is he gonna have a job?

• 1:47:15Speaker 04

  Cause you just see him as such a baby right now?

• 1:47:16Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's like, you're gonna do stuff? Like, you're gonna like impress me? Like, it's just like, it's hard to like, because like, he's already doing it on little scales. But like, as I get that adult human, he's gonna do stuff, which is crazy.

• 1:47:26Speaker 03

  Do you ever think about like when they'll know how much you love them?

• 1:47:32Speaker 03

  I always think about, like, I don't know when I realized how much my parents loved me, how old I was.

• 1:47:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:47:37Speaker 03

  I never was like, they don't. I remember my mom a couple times.

• 1:47:43Speaker 03

  But, uh, but like, as an adult, I go, what? Jamil said something to me. He was like, he's like, did you never notice that your dad was the only guy that came to our basketball games?

• 1:47:53Speaker 05

  Hmm.

• 1:47:54Speaker 03

  And like, and I, I never, I was so used to him showing up.

• 1:47:57Speaker 05

  You don't notice it till you're out of it, you know what I mean? Like a fish doesn't notice water.

• 1:48:00Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:48:01Speaker 05

  You're just surrounded by it.

• 1:48:02Speaker 04

  And when you see other parents that don't do it for their kids or whatever, you see your friends and you're like, oh, that's different. I didn't know that existed.

• 1:48:09Speaker 03

  But that was the thought I had. I was like, I hope you never notice it. Like, I hope you just think this is what it is. Yeah. Funny, the better you are at your job, the less they're gonna notice.

• 1:48:19Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 1:48:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:48:20Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, it's like, the more consistent you are, the less you notice.

• 1:48:24Speaker 04

  Especially for dads. For moms, I think you know. Like, everybody talks about moms all the time. For dads, it's almost like your job is supposed to be thankless. You're not supposed to get any credit. That's the sacrifice you make.

• 1:48:36Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah, it's, uh, ah, yeah, I don't know. The whole Kevin Kid thing is just awesome. It's like, it's awesome to see her. Like, she'll like, you know, fall or hurt or something like that, and then like, just reach for her mom. And it's, I think it's nice for Emma to see, cause it's so often, she does all this, where she breastfeeds the baby, she's up with it. And then I come in and the baby's just like, you're funny. Let's party.

• 1:49:02Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:49:03Speaker 03

  And I think there's a part of Emma that's like, what, how the fuck she love, she's saying, she's saying dada and all this other stuff? But when she hurts herself.

• 1:49:10Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:49:10Speaker 03

  It's like, where's that woman that always makes me feel good?

• 1:49:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:49:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, there's all these tiny little rewarding things.

• 1:49:18Speaker 05

  Yeah. No, I think it's awesome. I think it's awesome. And I think it's even like, just that story of like, right before the special, like sacrificing for your kids. Like, I think it's just like a good reminder. I think sacrificing is like, fundamental. Like, I think like, suffering for like, things you love, I think is like, intrinsic to loving them.

• 1:49:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:49:36Speaker 05

  You know what I mean? Like, I think it's harder to love things without suffering for them. Like, and I think we so often get caught in this idea of like, we need to mitigate suffering at all costs. I think it kinda needs to be like, embraced for the things you really love.

• 1:49:47Speaker 03

  I, I was talking about someone else who kinda struggled to get, um, their, their wife pregnant as well, similar situation. As me and Emma and, uh, and they were still in the process. And I go, there's a weird positive that comes out from this. And it's like, a lot of people did get their wife pregnant without even knowing. It's like, this baby has been thrust upon them, and they have to like, organize their life, and they're like, fuck, are we ready? There's all this like, concern and insecurity. And when you have a little struggle, as you were saying, to get there, when you're finally met with the idea that that baby is gonna come. There's fear of you fucking it up or something going wrong,

• 1:50:28Speaker 03

  but there's not fear of it happening because you've already come to grips with this idea of it not. So you're so grateful, you're so excited and it's a different energy that you that you approach it with.

• 1:50:43Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:50:43Speaker 03

  And, uh, yeah, I was, yeah, it's just really cool. And yeah, I agree with you, Mark. It should be hard. The things that are worth it are hard.

• 1:50:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:50:55Speaker 03

  When are they easy?

• 1:50:56Speaker 05

  I think it's like a biological mechanism.

• 1:50:58Speaker 03

  What do you mean?

• 1:50:58Speaker 05

  Like, I think it's like built into like human development, like by suffering, like you end up growing closer with things. Like.

• 1:51:04Speaker 03

  Kid, it's like the army, I imagine, like all these guys, yeah.

• 1:51:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, like.

• 1:51:07Speaker 03

  Football team.

• 1:51:08Speaker 05

  Suffering together draws people closer together and like your child is in pain and then you're nurturing them and you're exhausted. You have huge commitments the next day and you're also suffering. And I think it's like a bonding mechanism, like through that mutual pain, like you guys get closer.

• 1:51:21Speaker 03

  I mean, I'm sure that's like the hazing thing with fraternities a little bit, right?

• 1:51:24Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:51:25Speaker 03

  They're like induce this kind of fake suffering. So these people bond together and really feel like they're part of.

• 1:51:30Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it's good. I don't know. I'm like, I try to be grateful for like the moments of suffering like that. Like it sounds masochistic, but I think it's like core.

• 1:51:39Speaker 03

  It's a good perspective to have. You don't resent it as much.

• 1:51:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:51:44Speaker 03

  Yeah. Miles, did you have a good Thanksgiving?

• 1:51:46Speaker 07

  I had a great Thanksgiving.

• 1:51:47Speaker 03

  Any funny stories?

• 1:51:50Speaker 07

  No, I got to make food, which is sort of fun.

• 1:51:51Speaker 03

  What'd you make?

• 1:51:52Speaker 07

  Usually Mark's wife handles damn near everything we've ever eaten. I think Mark and I have never made something for each other or for ourselves around each other.

• 1:51:59Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:51:59Speaker 07

  Uh, Mark's wife handles everything and I got to make little things. I don't know, like gravy and put the turkey back in. Cause it wasn't like little things. It was sort of fun to be a part of that. Um, no, I do want to talk about Mark being a masochist a tiny bit.

• 1:52:12Speaker 03

  Ooh, what do you mean?

• 1:52:13Speaker 07

  Mark's been on this masochism shit like way too heavy and then also got me on it recently.

• 1:52:18Speaker 03

  Talk to us.

• 1:52:19Speaker 07

  So he's like, yeah.

• 1:52:20Speaker 03

  Did this start with the Shackleton?

• 1:52:22Speaker 07

  Uh, yeah, I think that technically.

• 1:52:24Speaker 05

  It's all part of it.

• 1:52:25Speaker 07

  No, no, Shackleton, I really.

• 1:52:26Speaker 05

  It's all part of it.

• 1:52:27Speaker 07

  Shackleton, I think if we go back in time, will be like the, the actual point.

• 1:52:31Speaker 03

  That's the frame.

• 1:52:31Speaker 05

  That's the breaking point.

• 1:52:32Speaker 07

  Yeah, but no, Mark was just talking about like this in a very loving way about his child. And I think that's all beautiful and I want to take away from that, but also recently said to me, while we're both fasting, he goes, soon dude, you're gonna fucking enjoy the hunger pangs. Like when I get them, bro, when I wake up with them, I go, oh, what a day I'm about to have. And I'm like, oh, you're a fucking full blown lunatic.

• 1:52:53Speaker 05

  And he's got me also fasting with him.

• 1:52:55Speaker 04

  How long you fast?

• 1:52:57Speaker 05

  Like 24 hours, 36 sometimes. Anything over three days, I don't think you get like a ton of benefit.

• 1:53:01Mark Gagnon?

  You got a problem.

• 1:53:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know about all this. I gotta give some pushback.

• 1:53:04Speaker 05

  It's great. It's built in every culture, it's built in every religion. Fasting is fundamental. I also think we eat too much as a culture. We love to consume. But no one ever feels hungry, even though for most of human history, we've all been hungry.

• 1:53:14Speaker 03

  I don't know if that's true.

• 1:53:15Speaker 05

  Why?

• 1:53:16Speaker 03

  I feel like there was just fruit everywhere.

• 1:53:19Speaker 05

  That's partially true.

• 1:53:20Speaker 03

  Like whenever you see monkeys, it's just like, alright, let me get this persimmon. Like, they're not really hurting for food.

• 1:53:27Speaker 05

  Hmm, no, I don't think they're starving. But like, going for multiple hours without food, I think is pretty typical. Specifically without like proteins.

• 1:53:34Speaker 03

  I think you do that when you're busy.

• 1:53:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:53:37Speaker 03

  And I think we were just busier back then.

• 1:53:39Speaker 05

  I mean, some people say we're less.

• 1:53:40Mark Gagnon?

  Forcing your body to go 24 and 48 hours without food is...

• 1:53:44Speaker 05

  It's not really forcing. At a certain point, you're just like, I feel fine.

• 1:53:48Mark Gagnon?

  You're having hunger pains.

• 1:53:49Speaker 05

  Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes you get hunger pains.

• 1:53:53Speaker 03

  Hunger pleasures.

• 1:53:54Speaker 05

  Yeah, you got hunger pleasure, bro. Nah, I don't know. That shit is nice, dude. And then you get to kind of like break through in your brain. Or sometimes you like a sauna, cold plunge, you try to like fucking force your brain through it.

• 1:54:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:54:05Speaker 05

  The only freedom is discipline, guys. Alright, just remember that.

• 1:54:09Speaker 03

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 1:54:10Mark Gagnon?

  Insert the anorexic line.

• 1:54:13Speaker 05

  I probably have an eating disorder, so don't do it.

• 1:54:15Speaker 07

  Mark has eating disorder crazy, so.

• 1:54:17Speaker 05

  But now Miles is on it.

• 1:54:18Speaker 07

  Oh, nice.

• 1:54:19Speaker 05

  Now Miles is on it. We do it together, suffer together. Oh.

• 1:54:22Speaker 07

  He's texting me every like six hours. And Mark has never texted me more in his life. He's never responded to a text in my life. And then the moment I start fasting every three hours, like, how you feeling, brother? We're in this together. The pain cave is nothing. And I was like...

• 1:54:33Speaker 03

  The pain cave is...

• 1:54:34Speaker 05

  Pain cave is great. Did you go deep in your pain cave?

• 1:54:36Speaker 03

  I don't believe in this shit, bro.

• 1:54:37Mark Gagnon?

  Check it on your boy, bro.

• 1:54:41Speaker 05

  Going into a pain cave is nice.

• 1:54:42Mark Gagnon?

  You don't get it.

• 1:54:43Speaker 07

  I've done it every single year since I've been 13. I fast for 25 hours. And it's not hard. It's not hard.

• 1:54:50Mark Gagnon?

  He's bragging about one day a year.

• 1:54:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's better than some, you know, some people.

• 1:54:54Speaker 03

  He's making a good point.

• 1:54:55Speaker 05

  We're all on our path.

• 1:54:56Speaker 07

  Pain cave is real.

• 1:54:57Speaker 05

  Oh, it's awesome.

• 1:54:58Speaker 07

  I don't complain. I can do ice baths, I can fast. He can't do that shit. Andrew can. There's no pain cave for Andrew.

• 1:55:04Speaker 05

  But I think if there's a communal llama, he could be down.

• 1:55:06Speaker 07

  He's gonna tell the community, I'm cold, I'm tired. He makes sure he creates a podcast to tell everyone how cold, hungry, tired he is.

• 1:55:15Speaker 05

  If it's like, hey, we all cold plunge for five minutes, we all get like 10 grand, he'd be like, yeah, I can stick it out for the squad.

• 1:55:20Speaker 07

  He can't do it.

• 1:55:21Speaker 03

  I'll do it for the group, for the group.

• 1:55:23Speaker 07

  He's got.

• 1:55:23Speaker 03

  It's not for me I won't do it, but for the group I'll do it.

• 1:55:25Speaker 05

  Cause for him, he'd just be like, yo, fuck this shit, I don't care.

• 1:55:27Speaker 03

  Exactly. But if I'm letting down other people, that would affect.

• 1:55:30Speaker 07

  I get that, you don't understand, he can't do those three things. He can't do it. Everything else, just, you know what, guys, everyone for all the public.

• 1:55:39Speaker 03

  We crush stuff today in power.

• 1:55:40Speaker 07

  He is bad.

• 1:55:41Speaker 03

  I'm wondering where this is coming from.

• 1:55:44Speaker 07

  Andrew's the best, he is so much better than me now.

• 1:55:47Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 1:55:48Speaker 07

  But he can't do an ice bath, he can't fast for like five hours.

• 1:55:51Speaker 03

  That's great, I just find a new thing.

• 1:55:53Speaker 07

  He just can't. So I want everyone to just understand that. Best in comedy in the world, you are phenomenal.

• 1:55:59Speaker 03

  I did one day of Ramadan, I've done that. I've done that, I've done that, yeah.

• 1:56:05Speaker 05

  The water's tough.

• 1:56:07Speaker 03

  That water is tough.

• 1:56:08Speaker 07

  Wait, you did it?

• 1:56:09Speaker 05

  Ramadan, yeah, one day.

• 1:56:10Speaker 07

  What, what, why?

• 1:56:11Speaker 03

  I would do one day every year.

• 1:56:13Speaker 05

  Solidarity with my Muslim friends.

• 1:56:14Speaker 07

  You've done that? You haven't done that shit?

• 1:56:16Speaker 03

  I have, I swear, I made Emma do it once.

• 1:56:18Speaker 05

  Wait, what?

• 1:56:19Speaker 03

  I did.

• 1:56:20Speaker 05

  How does that work?

• 1:56:21Speaker 03

  I reverted her.

• 1:56:22Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:56:23Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:56:24Speaker 05

  You went Sharia?

• 1:56:25Speaker 03

  I went Assalamualaikum.

• 1:56:27Speaker 05

  This household was Sharia for the day.

• 1:56:28Speaker 03

  We were Sharia for the day. For the day we were Sharia, this was during Covid.

• 1:56:33Speaker 05

  Oh, that would be awesome. I think that would actually be a good bipartisan bill.

• 1:56:37Speaker 03

  Which is?

• 1:56:37Speaker 05

  Sharia day.

• 1:56:38Speaker 03

  Everybody goes, no, men would support that.

• 1:56:41Speaker 05

  Yeah. Yeah. And so our Muslim immigrant friends, they feel connected to the culture?

• 1:56:46Speaker 03

  Boom.

• 1:56:46Speaker 05

  And then we all get to see the beauty of Islam.

• 1:56:48Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 1:56:49Speaker 05

  Sharia day, one day.

• 1:56:50Speaker 03

  Sharia day. We don't go crazy. Just no talking back.

• 1:56:56Speaker 03

  Why don't we get that day, no talking back day? One day of just, you appreciate everything I do.

• 1:57:03Speaker 03

  And also if I ever buy you anything, for two weeks minimum, there's nothing you could say.

• 1:57:09Speaker 05

  Thousand percent. Thousand percent.

• 1:57:12Speaker 03

  Cause I've realized, it don't matter the price, they gonna complain eventually.

• 1:57:15Speaker 05

  Yeah, how about that?

• 1:57:16Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, complaining fast.

• 1:57:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:57:20Speaker 03

  Whoa, that's a good idea. A complaining fan. You're not complaining about nothing. An emotional fan. Exactly.

• 1:57:25Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:57:26Speaker 03

  No emotions for 24 hours.

• 1:57:28Speaker 04

  Suffer silently, that's real nobility.

• 1:57:29Speaker 03

  Exactly. Anytime they start, you just go Chanel.

• 1:57:33Speaker 03

  Chanel, remember that Chanel?

• 1:57:35Speaker 04

  Yeah, no, the price don't matter.

• 1:57:36Speaker 03

  And it makes me go, there's diminishing returns.

• 1:57:39Speaker 04

  Truly.

• 1:57:40Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:57:40Speaker 04

  Truly.

• 1:57:41Speaker 03

  If I was...

• 1:57:45Speaker 03

  Like, a card would mean so much more.

• 1:57:48Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:57:48Speaker 03

  But then you gotta write that shit.

• 1:57:50Speaker 04

  You gotta find it.

• 1:57:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, go pick yourself something out, yo. Go pick yourself something out so I don't gotta write this card, yo. That's what your dad did. He was like, an apology would be easy, bro. But... Flight then, dude.

• 1:58:03Mark Gagnon?

  So, that is still crazy, bro.

• 1:58:05Speaker 03

  Nah, that is wild. Guys, um, one, I just want to thank you guys so much for holding it down. These, uh, last few, uh, weeks without me. I really appreciate it. Shout out for holding down the Patreon. Shout out all the patrons, man. Thank you guys so much. Um, from what I've been hearing, you guys have been killing it, so I won't be returning a Patreon. I'm back, I'm back this week. But, uh, I appreciate you guys so much. Thank you guys for crushing it. And, um, and yeah, just, this is, nah, you know, this is awesome. We gotta do this edit, but now, now we in our, now we in our pod bag, man. You know what I mean? You mean paddle bag? We in our paddle bag, but we also in our pod, like, when the, the tour stops, that's when things get interesting. That's when we end up in Morocco randomly. That's when we end up in London randomly. That's when things start cracking, so...

• 1:58:50Speaker 03

  I think, um, you know, we got some stuff up our sleeve. We'll see what's happening in the near future. Hell yeah. Very excited. Anyway, thank you guys so much. We love you, we appreciate you. Kendrick, we love you, man. We love you. We love you. Love, love? Hey, it's, it's a real love. It's a real love.

• 1:59:12Speaker 03

  Hmm. What? Al? I'm gonna take Kendrick to Wicked.

• 1:59:20Speaker 03

  I'm gonna take Kendrick to Wicked.

• 1:59:21Speaker 04

  I'll do it a third time.

• 1:59:22Speaker 03

  For real. I think we should take Kendrick to Wicked.

• 1:59:24Mark Gagnon?

  That'd be fun.

• 1:59:25Speaker 03

  I'm gonna dress up as Elphaba.

• 1:59:27Mark Gagnon?

  Okay.

• 1:59:28Speaker 03

  What should we dress Kendrick up as? The munchkin guy?

• 1:59:34Mark Gagnon?

  The volleyball guy?

• 1:59:34Speaker 03

  No, the munchkin. The guy who married, uh, Bach. That's Bach.

• 1:59:41Speaker 03

  The guy that marries Ariana. You've seen the play twice. Stop acting like you're not a homo.

• 1:59:45Speaker 04

  The guy who marries the one that we're seeing.

• 1:59:47Speaker 03

  I don't like you acting like you're not a homo, like us. We all are homos. We're dressing up as Wicked. We're taking, we're taking Kendrick with us. What should we take him as?

• 1:59:56Mark Gagnon?

  I don't know. Bach, whatever the fuck you just said.

• 2:00:00Speaker 04

  He can be Dedelman the goat.

• 2:00:02Speaker 03

  Oh! Yo, you know who the goat was?

• 2:00:05Speaker 04

  Just be careful. Yeah, it's our boy.

• 2:00:06Speaker 03

  That's our boy.

• 2:00:07Speaker 04

  Dinklage.

• 2:00:07Speaker 03

  Dinklage.

• 2:00:08Mark Gagnon?

  Oh, hell yeah.

• 2:00:09Speaker 03

  Hell yeah. Listen, y'all, we love you. We appreciate you. We'll see you next week. Peace.

• 2:00:13Speaker 04

  God bless.
