>> I got his speech queued up in a hot

second. But I will say one of my

favorite things about the Oscars was not

watching them.

>> You didn't watch.

>> I didn't watch the Oscars at all. Nick

game. I told y'all.

>> You didn't really miss.

>> That Sunday game was 8:00 against the

Warriors. The Oscars were on. So I

missed the whole Oscars. My mom was

giving me real time updates, but I

watched it afterward. I just skipped all

the white people except for the people

that worked on Frankenstein

>> and sinners.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, and sinners. Well, I said white

people.

>> Yeah, it was white. It was white.

>> Oh, no. Sinners is black [ __ ] Sinners

is black [ __ ]

>> I fast forwarded through all of that

Himlet.

>> All that. If it wasn't Frankenstein,

Sinners,

uh, no, one battle after I had to watch

the one battle after another cuz Tiana's

there. That's more that's more black

people. But other than that, oh, and

Shorty from weapons. I do think that she

deserved it. But I fast forward it

through. Well, I stopped it when the

Chinese some of the other people was up

there too.

>> K-pop. The K-pop people.

>> K-pop.

>> Demon.

>> If you have any kids around in that

song Joe.

>> Yeah.

>> Don't do it,

>> dude. That is

>> Well, I'm not dissing. Okay, great. I

already got rid of what's the names I

got rid of.

>> End it dumb. I

>> Yeah, but they adults now. Like those

like those little uh Stranger Things

kids. It ain't the same.

>> It ain't the same now. End it dumb. But

anyway, yeah, it was great to fast

forward and just have your pick of what

you wanted to watch most.

>> It's the the most uh dull of the award

ceremonies.

>> It wasn't the most

>> I missed the first hour cuz I thought

this started at 8.

>> Oh,

>> I'm like, damn, this [ __ ] started at

seven. So, but I want to watch the rest

of it though.

>> They used to do it at 8 and then you'd

be running so late. You be you'd be

sleepy watching the end of it and don't

nobody care enough to watch the whole

thing.

>> True.

>> Especially once they start hitting all

the documentaries and all the that we

don't give a

>> Exactly. Best

>> the overseas indie.

>> Best short documentary animated. Like,

all right, man.

>> I went out. So, I went back and fast

forwarded through it, too.

>> And I uh I didn't find much interesting.

I just kept waiting to see where Sinners

was going to go

>> and how it was going to do. And early

on, a lot of people thought it was gonna

be a color purple moment. They thought

it was going to be a situation where

there's a lot of nominations and no

victories. And people on online like

complaining when some of them early

awards didn't come out. So, I was happy

to see it shake out the way it did.

>> No, we got to we got to thank Timothy

Shalamé for just totally imploding

toward the end of the race. Like for

real. I was checking the prediction

markets and they said that the

prediction markets had for the majority

the big awards they had it right for the

most part about

uh they were doing the guesses what

movies would win how many awards

>> and yeah Timothy Shalom they didn't even

clap for him really

>> they didn't even really clap for him

when they announced uh Leo Pablo

>> Michael Timothy it was like

>> I was like oh I never heard that first

ballet Yeah, you can't diss them. You

got to be careful.

>> Yeah. So, he he more black points to

him. I'm off that cookout. I've been off

that cookout more. Jack Harlo has me off

it even more now. But yeah, anyway, what

were you guys saying about it?

>> No, I mean, um, with regards to

>> Well, I'm sorry. Can we start with what

did you guys think of Conan O'Brien?

>> It wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible.

It was

>> It wasn't I I thought he didn't have

much to work. I thought I thought he

held it down for for what the show was.

>> That's what I was about to say cuz the

bits that they pulled

>> like when the presenters come up, they

try to make a little comedic bit were

all terrible. So they were so bad that

it made him look good.

>> I enjoyed Conan O'Brien on some dad joke

[ __ ]

>> Yeah.

>> Like they all they all seemed just like

dad jokey. Like he wasn't killing it,

but he wasn't bombing.

>> I like the intro and the outro were were

funny. The skits off weapons and one

battle after another. Those were funny.

the the jokes in between. It was It was

cool. It wasn't It was It was fine.

>> That [ __ ] was blah.

>> Yeah, it was fine

>> for me at best. Blah.

>> I was rooting for sinners in the costume

design until I saw Frankenstein.

>> Frankenstein [ __ ] deserves a lot of

four hours a day to get that put on him.

>> They said no. 400 hours uh total makeup

time for home.

>> They said it was 4 hours a day he would

have to sit. That's before y'all. So,

and action. You sitting there getting

that put on you. St.

>> And not the

That's a good looking white guy.

>> That [ __ ] had the moose in his ear.

Like that room had some good looking

white people in there. I know y'all

don't care. Anyway, go ahead. Fine.

Sinners.

Frank was pretty good. It It deserve I'm

I'm glad it got some awards cuz it was

pretty good. You should watch it.

>> You said it was good.

>> Yeah, it was good.

>> Okay, man. Said it was good.

>> It was good. I watched it as well. But

the the best two movies of the year were

centers in one battle after another and

they won all the awards as they deserve.

>> I didn't I didn't I had started one

battle after another a couple months ago

but

>> it I fell asleep on it. Never went back

to watch it.

>> Yeah.

>> After the Oscars like the next day I

said I got to watch this movie all the

way through and I get it.

>> It's a very good movie.

>> It's a very good movie. And

>> cuz when they did a supporting actor I

wanted Del Roy Lindo to win that one.

But after fully watching one battle

after another, Shawn Penn deserved that

award.

>> I mean, Shawn Penn just had a much

bigger role in one battle battle after

the other than Delroy did in way.

>> And we do still have to honor racist

bigots and piece of characters in

movies.

>> It's a Especially when they can bring

him to

>> that was his role.

>> Yeah. And if they can bring it to life

and make you hate the [ __ ] on

screen, they did their job.

>> But you know, sometime with the and I

agree with everything y'all saying.

Sometime with the Oscars, the best

person don't get it. Especially when it

come to us. Sometimes we get skipped

over and they go, "Oh, it's a lifetime

award." You know, like when Denzel got

skipped over for Malcolm X and they gave

it to uh Pacino for Sin of a Woman. It

was like, "Well, Pacino deserved it for

like a lifetime of work."

>> I was Sean Pen deserved it, but part of

me was hoping that Delroy would get that

lifetime of work for a lifeline

all the Spike movies and then other

stuff too. And that was Sinners. He was

amazing. What you say? I mean, like, can

we give it to somebody that's going to

be there next time?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, he I think he went to go speak to

uh the president, someone of the

president somewhere in uh uh Colombia.

>> All right, then put the Zoom screen up.

You know what time it is.

>> Via satellite.

>> Give us the speech via satellite. That

would have been flying. Uh but the story

tonight by far. Come on. Let me just get

right into this. Let me cue this up.

That's it.

>> That entire room was just so ecstatic

for this brother.

>> That's what I loved about it.

>> And I love that he acknowledged that in

his speech.

>> Got to stand it up.

>> Yeah. Put the camera on Timothy Shallow.

Yeah.

>> That's one of my favorite things from

award shows is the the loser can.

>> Zoom in on the loser.

Did y'all do it?

We lose the game.

>> What' you say? I said, "Could y'all do

it?"

>> Yeah, for sure.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Act like you happy.

>> Yes.

>> I think And it might be genuine

happiness.

>> I think some of them were genuinely

happy for me.

>> I don't think everybody's genuinely

happy dog.

>> They may not be, but you still got to

get up there and play good sport.

>> The director community, the director

community seems legitimately like happy

for each other.

>> They kind of remind me of the producer

community in music where it's like they

with each other hard.

>> Some of them actors, they

>> actors not so much.

>> Yeah. more like the rapper community.

>> Tiana about to break her hand.

>> She was going crazy in the front.

>> I love seeing that.

>> God is good. And um

your mama, what's up?

>> Love that.

>> Absolutely love that.

you. Cuz you guys made this movie what

it is. I love you. I love you. I love

you.

>> And there you have it.

>> I thought he was going to break down.

>> Yeah.

>> I thought he I It was a few times I

thought he was going to break down. He

couldn't hold it.

>> But But amazing speech.

>> [ __ ] I was breaking down.

>> Me, too. No, I was home. Break. Yeah.

Yeah. I thought he was going to break

down, but he didn't. Amazing speech. Um

>> eyes watering

>> off the dome. He ain't even read off the

paper all that [ __ ]

>> Some the Sydney party and them [ __ ] you

know, you had to give it.

>> I'm sure he wrote all of that somewhere.

But the just the look of it, I hate when

they go get to pulling this out and

I would win tonight.

>> Um,

>> to watch his

ascension, he was the little dirty

sitting on the bench on the wire, bro.

Where's Wallace?

>> Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Nobody

would have ever thought that watching

that he would go to this. Like even in

The Wire, his role was minimal in The

Wire. He didn't

>> And he killed him in season one.

>> Yeah.

>> Was that one?

>> Yeah.

>> Like he didn't have the the the biggest

role in The Wire. You know what I'm

saying? And so the next time I remember

seeing him was what? Fruit veil. Maybe

fruit.

>> So So to do that and again to do that

with Ryan,

>> step in step is an amazing thing.

>> That's my favorite part of it. To do all

of it with Ryan. That's what I'm saying.

Boom boom boom boom boom with Ryan.

That's just an amazing thing. And um

they keep betting on each other like he

said, hand to hand. I think it's fire.

>> Yeah,

>> I think it's super fire.

>> Listen, I've been I I I've

been pretty harsh on Michael B. Jordan

over the years. Yes,

>> that's true. I forgot about those

>> criticisms early on. Yeah.

>> Oh my god, those are some of my best

pods. I love that. I love coming in here

talking all that. He really said two two

sentences in Creed.

>> Yeah. Like I double down in what I said,

but to Isha's point, that's what makes

this so great is for somebody to

continue to develop their craft, for

somebody to give a enough about it to

work on it consistently and where to

where you can where the public can see

the improvements rather rapidly. Yeah,

>> like I've read something about

>> the changes he made to smoke or stack

one of them one of their faces as he was

doing it like to make the characters

appear different. Like he said he was

locking its jaw paws so one had dimples

uh

>> your eyebrows. He said he's

>> okay

>> manipulating his facial structure a

certain way so that the twins could

appear different like that uh commitment

to detail

>> is what I'm talking about. So that that

that's the stuff that resonates. How

could you not be proud of a guy like

this? Take that, L'Oreal. That was

another real bad take of mine. Oh my

god. That might that might have been up

there with my chance take coming in here

and siding with L'Oreal.

What a mess. Hey, that's back when I was

pandering to women.

I ain't I ain't going to lie to y'all. I

was heavy in pander mode defending

L'Oreal. He was dead.

>> You know what too yo, he just seems like

a nice guy. He is, but he is a nice guy.

>> I'm just saying a lot of people on

camera seem nice. From him, you get

like, yo, he just might be a nice cool

ass dude. Like I know people that know

him personally. I never met him, but he

just seemed like a just a overall

genuinely nice cat. And you got to root

for people like that.

>> He's genuinely nice, genuinely humble,

genuinely generous. Like he's

>> you couldn't you couldn't see it happen

to a better person. That that was the

thing that you could even see it in the

speech. Like he was really overwhelmed

by the moment

>> and really excited by the moment. Um,

and to see somebody who's that loved as

an actor, as a sex symbol, as all these

things be like genuinely nervous getting

getting the award.

>> He shouldn't have been nervous cuz he's

sexy.

>> You if you mean you would understand

this, but like if I would look at

another [ __ ] and understand his sex

appeal. I got you though. Go ahead.

>> Yeah. I mean, you're usually in control

of every room. People are eating out of

your head

>> and and he didn't care. Like that wasn't

how his brain worked. He was just

>> overwhelmed by the moment.

genuine about the moment. You don't see

that too often with with actors.

>> And for one night, even if only one

night only, get these British

out OF HERE.

>> OH, THAT was so great. Yeah. Pan the

camera to Damson. Let me look at him for

F1. Get these [ __ ] Hey, and I love

these guys, but it's been the

whitewashing of just black American male

actors. That's a good point. Yeah.

Enough. Enough now with this British

[ __ ] That [ __ ] was great.

>> I don't care for I'm

>> I don't care.

>> I'm down with you.

>> That [ __ ] felt That [ __ ] felt great.

That [ __ ] felt

>> I wanted to make a correction. I wanted

to make a correction cuz they killed me.

Sean Penn was speaking to the uh

president of of Ukraine, prime minister,

what's his name?

>> Yeah, not Colombia. Paul, it's a big

deal. Sean Penn is heavy and Paul. I

wanted to correct that cuz it's Ukraine.

He went to Ukraine. That's why you

missed the Oscars

>> and the singers dance performance

30 minutes into the awards fire.

>> I felt like that was the entire room

agreeing

>> this is why this is why I love seeing

the blues on a big stage like that. That

[ __ ] was cool.

>> And homeboy, the little blues dude.

>> My brother, you need a mixtape.

>> It's time. Yo, don't miss your mark. You

need a little five, four, five song EP

or something with some BLUES SLAPS.

>> He showed up. He showed up. No, he

killed that.

>> I like his uh his post interview on the

carpet with his mother. I think it was

pre or post. I thought that was that was

dope.

>> Pre is before and post.

>> I know. I say I think I think it's pre

or post. I think it's either before or

after. I'm not sure. But, you know, when

he was talking with his mom and stuff

like that and she was like since 3 years

old, he was singing and you know, they

gave praise to God. I just like

wholesome moments like that. That was

dope to me

>> for sure.

>> And they said the uh the the dancer

ballerina girl was dancing for Timothy

Chevrolet the whole time.

>> She's fire, huh?

>> She's fire.

>> She came back from the hip surgery. Mr.

Copeland, I missed it. Amazing. That's

that's amazing, too. She had a whole hip

replacement and just stood there in

front of Timothy and said, "Hold up.

We say

>> nothing.

>> I'll tell you one thing. I know we

honoring black excellence right now.

>> Indeed. Oh, I want to say something

about some boy [ __ ] Man,

>> I ain't going to hold you.

>> See some white boy titties that did it

for you.

>> That Kylie Jenner looked all right.

>> Hey, that that Kylie Jenner looked like

something last night. And I ain't into

them Jenner Kardashian.

>> Almond milk, [ __ ]

>> General Kardashian. All milks. Almond

coconut milk.

>> Cashew. Cashew milk.

>> Might be a little cashew. God, that that

red dress with them earrings and that

necklace with just two big ass stones in

it.

>> No, I didn't think her titties was so

great. That's another one I pumped up.

That little racist white girl's titties.

That's another just horrible take for

me. That girl's titties. Sydney,

whatever. Sydney Sweeny.

>> Yeah, it's just like a slap in my girl's

face. I erased that episode from the

archives.

>> Um uh what else? What else? What else is

from the Oscars that we need to discuss?

I mean Ryan Cougler would in the best

original screen

>> play

Ryan Cougler. Yes. I'm just happy for

all those all those brothers.

>> Of course. Uh and that don't really be

touted like being a director, being a

producer and all that. So especially

coming from where he comes from like my

he probably got teased or some just for

going into the arts in the hood. So for

him to to to really

stand up and stand out that is amazing

to me.

>> I like to speak. got 16 awards. They won

four. Uh I've read an article from Slate

magazine that kind of pissed me off.

They was like, "Uh,

>> where you caught the slate?

>> You went to the

>> You just wing

something. Where you picking up slate,

>> [ __ ] This is the internet generation.

Yo, you you wa just buying [ __ ]

>> Let me get the new slate.

Let me get but go ahead. What they say

in slate?

>> They was like uh sinners turned out to

be the biggest loser and I just thought

that [ __ ] was so tacky.

>> That's why you can't support Slade.

>> Yeah. I just thought that [ __ ] was so

tacky, my [ __ ] Biggest loser.

>> There's been a bunch of publications on

them even through their success and it's

really I think was the other one that

did

>> Variety too.

>> Yeah.

>> Yep.

>> They said something about it being a

disappointment cuz it earned 60 mill. I

forgot what it was.

>> That was very early on. It

>> was very early.

>> Variety was one of the first to get out

there with the hate. Yeah, I think

>> and everybody responded.

>> [ __ ] learned them though.

>> [ __ ] learned them.

>> They still retweet that to this day.

>> Really?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. I just thought that [ __ ] was ter.

Look what it made now.

>> What do y'all think about Michael B.

Jordan going to In-N-Out Burger

afterward?

>> That that was the most disappointing

thing of the night for me.

>> Were

horrible.

>> Oh, it's the tradition. Yeah, I get you.

Yeah.

>> Change.

>> Change the For those that don't know

what I mean. Typically after the Oscars,

winners do go to In-N-Out Burger. It's

like a thing. It's not. I didn't know

that

>> cuz cuz some people thought he was

trying to like look humble. It's like

no, if you look at all the photos Oscar

like actors leave the Oscars and go to

In-N-Out Burger. It's like a thing.

>> Well, and I read something that said he

apparently tried to work there early in

his career and they turned him down. So,

it was like a full circle moment.

>> Oh, that's

dope.

And In-N-Out Burger, if you're if you're

if you're in LA, like that [ __ ] do

tastes good around 2 a.m. if you're

coming from somewhere and you had a

couple drink. That's the only time the

only time I said that.

>> That's the only time it tastes

drunk.

>> Johnny Rockets was he had an apple pie,

too, man. I don't eat beef, but them

apple pies crazy.

>> Johnny Rockets back in my late 20s was

my first stop when I hit that Miami. Get

that outside outdoor table.

Oh,

>> you don't know what that is.

>> You don't know what Johnny Rockets.

>> I don't know what that is.

>> I think they had one show. You know what

heroin you painters on heroin is? You

don't know what Johnny Rockets is?

>> I didn't live a privileged life like

you, bro. I was like,

>> I don't know if Johnny Rockets is

privileged. That [ __ ] is good.

>> That [ __ ] ain't privileged, man.

>> They have one in.

>> They got one at Jersey Gardens, man. I

wish y'all got a reference.

They is like Applebee's, dog.

>> It's the same level.

>> Okay.

>> Chili's.

>> Yeah.

>> I miss when they used to come out on

their little skates and do the dance. Go

ahead, [ __ ] I used to go there at that

time.

>> Nah, for real. Sometimes it was a baddie

coming out. But now you got a Johnny

Rockets girl.

>> Put yourself in a hard spot.

>> Oh, y'all be Johnny Rockets girl anyway.

All right. Come on. Let me

love including people with your word.

No, I probably would do it, too.

>> Oh, all right.

>> Say that then.

>> How'd you look?

>> So, say that. Yeah. Say that.

>> I feel like y'all are some Johnny Rocket

mid.

>> See, now

moving on. Moving on. We're not doing

that. We're not doing that. We're not

doing that. We're not doing that.

>> Any uh congratulations to all the

winners.

Yeah. All of the winners. I still think

I I I support that weapons lady winning.

She She did. She did. I like the girl

from uh I'm not having watched Hamnet,

but the girl's speech was she she seemed

very likable. The Irish Irish girl

woman.

>> Yeah,

>> it was a good speech.

>> I'm conflicted on how I feel about the

Oscars just hitting the music right

right when is about to talk.

>> They took the mic down on a [ __ ]

>> That was that [ __ ] a couple times.

>> Yeah. Yo, that was up. The mic went back

down in the ground. My man was just

standing there like

>> the lights went off. ALL THAT [ __ ]

AND THE [ __ ] AIN'T LEAVE. THEY SEND IT

BACK UP. That's what's my moment, bro.

>> Truly messed up. But

>> I can't lie and say ain't funny. I

wasn't entertained.

>> No, it was funny.

>> We got to keep the show rolling, man.

>> And if you're as like a group, you going

up there with like 10 of you, you can't

you got to the one lady hogged the mic a

little bit. Like you got to just get in

and out.

>> You see my man was trying to tap her arm

like, "Yo, let me get some words in

here."

you doing?

>> She shouting everybody.

>> She said the same speech she said at the

last [ __ ] I forgot it was the Golden

Gloves and the Grammys, but it's the

same exact speech.

>> You got to share that there.

>> And just on some pro black while those

uh uh they was up there.

>> What was it? The Koreans. When the

Koreans was up there, I did think to

myself, "Oh, this would be a great time

to just let like 30 of the Tourettes

in."

>> Why?

N if they paying at the Tourette's table

right now

is YELLING

issue practice restraint is please he

about to get his bag you know all the

words

>> oh that would have that would have been

funny overall I thought the Oscars did a

good job or at least the parts that I

wasn't fast forwarding

>> I think the awards were given to the

right people I I don't think that the

ceremony was particularly entertaining.

>> It was blah.

>> Yeah.

>> Then I liked on the red carpet. I liked

I liked them highlighting the the Steven

Spielberg, Timothy Shalomé beef.

Apparently they were on the red carpet

at the same time ignoring each other.

Ooh,

>> cuz remember uh uh they had beef. I

didn't even know that. I didn't know

that beef. Yeah, I ain't that a little

shady.

>> I ain't with y'all. This whole Tiana

hate train that's running around right

now. Like

>> I ain't like that, bro. What do they hat

on her for?

>> Her little interaction with the

>> Yeah, her her being excited during the

awards.

>> Oh, that

>> um

>> it started it started Well, it started

with the uh

>> was it the supporting supporting

supporting actor award actress award

that she didn't win and they announced

the the the person that won she jumped

up screaming and they like, "Oh, this is

fake. You're phony. You're being like

y'all don't know Tiana or something."

>> Yeah.

>> So,

>> they don't know Tiana though.

>> Not you don't have to know her

personally. You just follow her. Watch

her. You see this is her.

>> Yeah, it is.

>> She wasn't out of character is what I'm

saying.

>> AND EVEN IF SHE was right, I mean if you

if you don't say anything, they say

you're a hater. If you cheer for the

person that win, they say you fake.

>> So then when um one battle after another

one, you know, the way she grabbed the

director in the headlock, I'm happy.

>> Right. When you make a movie with

somebody

>> Okay, we not going to be honest. All

right. Go ahead.

>> Well, go ahead.

>> No, no, no. I want to hear the cap.

>> When you make When you make a movie with

somebody, you you you go to war with

them. You you become family. So you

might really be happy with the

[ __ ] that won. Like I don't

think that I think that's normal.

>> Our movie one, my [ __ ] If I worked on

an album in the album one, album of the

year, I'm going up there happy with you.

Headlock.

>> Yeah,

>> got it.

>> What you got to say?

>> Nothing. Maybe I'm wrong about it.

>> Well, what are you wrong about? You're

not saying anything.

>> Are you saying that her grabbing the uh

director wasn't appropriate?

>> I'm not I'm not going to say what's

appropriate and what's not appropriate

because like y'all said, she was happy.

If that's how you showing happiness,

awesome. Okay. However,

>> for me, if if I'm winning an an award,

an award that uh

>> I don't know if he's won before. This

was a big deal for him to win.

>> I think it was his first time. Yeah.

>> He's done some great movies.

>> That's what I'm saying. Like the same

reverence that the room had for Michael

B. Jordan on the flip. They had it for

him as well in that moment. Don't put me

in the in the headlock.

>> You said let him have his moment.

>> Please don't put me in.

>> You're not saying it's fake. You're just

saying

>> I'm not saying it's fake. You're just

saying I'm not saying performative. They

were saying she was doing a lot. And

when I watched it, I could see how

somebody could think that at least.

>> I don't know. PTA seems like the kind of

guy that's cool with the headlock.

>> I think it depends on your rapport with

the person.

>> But even if he's cool with the headlock,

please don't put me in a headlock as I

make my way to the podium to a comedian.

I'm sure he's probably cool with it.

>> He might have not had a problem with it.

>> I ain't seen

>> still. I see. Please don't put me in a

headlock while I'm on my way to the

podium to win my Yo, if we win a a

Grammy or some

>> for you, buddy. You get in a headlock

and a wedgie is definitely putting you

in the headlock.

>> Well, he's Well,

>> I didn't think it

I got you.

>> No, stop. Imagine

>> I I don't think Flip will put me in

adock. I don't Bro, you you'll be

overwhelmed with emotion and you got a

rapport with the person. If y'all play

like that on scene, these movies, some

of these movies take months. So, you

literally in the trenches with these for

months, so you know what their

personality is like. The dude might not

be that type of dude, then it's

something different. But if he a play on

set, if he does a bunch of silly on set

and that's the we might be slapboxing

every day on set. his wife is

>> I don't think she I'm pretty sure

so it just depends you know

>> and I don't think she does that

>> but none of that I get what y'all are

saying just to me I don't want to be

circular

>> yeah she said don't do it anyway none of

it negates what yeah what I'm saying

like your your wife's a comedian you

understanding we've been having a blast

on this movie for the last however many

years we tied it in the two ones and 11

I understand all that please as I'm

going to accept my what please don't put

me in that lock that's me saying that if

they cool

have a blast.

>> I'm telling y'all,

>> if we are ever in that situation,

>> flip flip.

>> You know what to do already.

Take your shirt off and slap.

>> But other than that, I'm not with black

I'm not with black people suppressing

the the the black.

>> I'm not with that. Like we are They were

saying she's a lot. I'M WE A LOT.

>> NO, but black people could be a lot.

When they put the No, they ain't going

to be a lot like us. Like when they put

them little dog whistling signs in the

hotel that say keep the noise down. That

ain't for the white people. THAT'S FOR

US. YOU know why? Cuz we gonna make

noise [ __ ]

We gonna make mad noise while you and

your little family of three is sleeping

there in the handicap room as hell. If

you think they ain't making noise,

>> that's what I seen them with a couple of

them pink paps blue ribbons in them.

>> Going to put your ear out the window

tonight.

>> They don't got to be drunk, [ __ ] That

we ain't got to blame it on drunk. It's

some loud, boisterous white people.

>> They don't got to be drunk to be crazy.

>> You talking about like the born in the

USA whites,

>> man.

USA,

right? America.

America.

>> They throw America out there.

>> Not America.

>> I think one of them whites I was in a

compromising situation a few weeks ago.

I was in a pizza place by myself

enjoying a slice. I think one of them

whites came in with his kid like and was

loud like about his views. I'm like, why

didn't your views matter at the pizza

place?

>> Like we shouldn't have I feel like

you're doing you're doing that to get me

to do something.

>> Absolutely. So he could justify my the

way I look at you.

>> I ain't going to beat one of them [ __ ]

up in front of their kids. I would.

That's a lie.

>> Don't get select or right. You don't

want no ma be down.

>> Yeah.

>> In the pizza place.

>> Yeah. Yeah. You don't want that.

Flipping you up like the dope.

>> Exact.

You sit there, boy.

>> You think I'm the dope. [ __ ] [ __ ]

>> Split me in the air every which way.

Huh? Pepperoni in the out your ass.

>> Tell you what the headlock.

>> Well, that's when I expect y'all to run

in here with the nation and fix it.

>> Oh, yeah. For sure. Indeed. How about

that? How about that one?

>> Got you.

>> Indeed.

>> Uh, what else is important?

>> I mean, one last thing in in Oscars, it

was pretty cool to see horror uh uh

being celebrated on this big of a stage.

It rarely is between Frankenstein

sinners and weapons all being mainstays

of the awards stage. You never see that

for me.

>> I was going to ask you cuz I'm not in

the horror at all. Like, is that like is

it like a um is it seen as low brow? Is

that the reason?

>> Usually, a lot of times it is in

fairness, but a lot of times it isn't.

There's a lot of very good horror out

there. So,

>> yeah,

>> it was cool to see that celebrate. I I

didn't see uh Frankenstein, but was it

really looked at as horror as opposed to

cine cinematic?

>> You know what I'm saying? Like

>> it's old school. It was

>> because I don't look at centers as

horror.

>> It was kind of the second half was

>> it was labeled as horror.

>> I know.

>> And Frankenstein since the inception has

always been considered the horror genre

by today's standards of horror. Maybe

not. But

>> I said you're not afraid of the white

devils.

>> He down with

>> like with the vampires.

>> You ain't either. Let him in.

You ain't not even remotely.

DON'T SAY NOTHING.

>> WE SHOULD let them right in in our

center house. Come on, girl. Come on.

You got friends?

>> I met I met a bunch of them through you.

>> You was You was welcome.

>> So, I was So, I aliooped it for you.

>> Yeah, you did.

>> All right. There we go. Deny it

sometimes. They get tired of talking

about they get tired of hearing about me

and issues, past relationship, bromance,

and how we mad all over the world. So,

I'm not I'm not talking about that no

more. That'll be the last time you hear

about me and is all over the world

together.

>> Anyway,

what do y'all want to move on to?

>> Hey, Mark, you were saying from the

Oscar someone announced their uh

significant One of my favorite people,

favorite directors, Ava Duvare.

>> We love her. Shoutout. Shout out to Ava.

We love you. We love you. We love you.

She was on the um Red Carpet Essence was

interviewing her and they asked her sort

of uh was it something you're proud of

or or they asked her some question that

she she could answer like a lot of

different ways. And she chose to say,

"I'm I'm proud of or I'm happy that I

brought

>> my Yeah. And she she introduces her

significant other. She's I've been

hiding him for a while. you know, he's

been around for a while, but I'm happy

to introduce him uh and to bring him to

the red carpet or whatever. And then,

you know, all the the blogs and stuff,

Ava got Ava's got a man, all this stuff,

which I thought was dope. Salute to her.

I'm glad she's happy. But I wondered

about that. Like, one, like, would y'all

do that at the an event that big at the

Oscars. And then more broadly, like,

>> when is the right time to unveil the

significant other in public public?

Because that's a big that's big. That's

not like just like Instagram.

Eight months.

>> Eight months.

>> Eight months. Quick. Eight.

>> I feel like you've thought that through

cuz

you

was a starting point.

>> Yeah. How long? You know, how long?

>> Minimum requirement. A

>> And is that is that for like IG or is

that for like the red carpet?

>> Well, I mean, well, let's slow down. The

I'm with the unveiling. The first award

show ain't going to be the Oscars. Like,

let's try this at the Ozone Awards.

First,

let's try this on award. Source awards

award somewhere vibes.

>> Yeah, we a we ain't going to do this

premiere at the Oscars. That's I know

homeboy was home and I love a so I'm

going to shut up actually about this.

But homeboy was home putting the

pressure on her.

>> He was he was trying to he was trying to

get the unveiled at the supermarket any

anywhere. So

>> when when you unveil your partner at

something as big as the Oscars with the

speech that she gave,

>> I I assume that there was pressure put

on you from the partner.

>> I I I agree. Oh, she gave a speech so I

didn't see this.

>> You think?

>> I assume that

>> she gave a real speech.

>> It was just in the interview. Like in

the interview like

>> So yes.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Maybe

>> that's pressure.

>> Yeah, it would have been some pressure.

>> Or she could have just been in the It

was more sincerity. It could be sincere.

>> Yeah, could be sincere. She she's a

sincere person. So,

and nobody was asking for that. You know

what I mean? I feel like if anything,

she might have been caught up in the

moment like you with your your boo,

whatever. You happy is you talking to

essence. It was like some sister girl.

You just be like, "Yo, but you've never

I don't know how long they've been

together. You've never shown this person

or said anything about this person." And

you said nobody's asking for that. Dude

could have been the person asking for

that.

>> Could be.

>> Well, this is another one of those

instances where I don't have the life

experience to share on the matter.

>> Oh, [ __ ] But we have four but we

have four people here, right? Like so if

y'all were going to do something like

that,

>> would you do it that way or would there

be a different event or would you try to

get some more excuses out there?

>> I think you need a softer launch than

the Oscars.

>> Yeah. Instagram post, a little side of

the game.

>> Depend. It depends on that that

relationship man.

>> Yeah, it depend on the relationship. And

but I think I think you you cannot leave

your significant other at home at the

Oscars.

>> Yeah, true. But it's it's

>> they do it all the time. Take a mom.

>> Damn. Yeah, good point.

>> So, yeah. So, from now I'm seeing the

Essence arc a little bit more to give

more detail today cuz what they asked

what she was proud of. She said, "I'm

proud of myself for bringing my honey."

Right. Apparently, they've they've

they've always been together at these

events. So, she hasn't been hiding them.

She just never like publicly like

>> acknowledged

>> like names it, you know? She's kind of

just doing her thing. It's not a secret.

>> Like, just go stand over there.

>> Yeah. Hold my bag. Stand over there.

Wait for me. I'll be back. I'll be right

back. So, so to me that is kind of the

soft launch, right? Like you go out with

the person, you seen at events, people

used to seeing y'all together. You at

the games, you at this, you had this.

>> Then to me, the next step is social

media. Nowadays,

>> yeah.

>> You know, like you might post a holiday

picture, Thanksgiving picture, birthday

picture,

>> and at your birthday that person is next

to you.

>> Mhm.

>> Then you get to the award show. Or it

could have been a bunch of award shows

and I wasn't acknowledged.

>> Yes, that's true, too.

>> Oh, true.

>> That's true, too. Could be that. I'm

tired of this. I ain't gonna keep

standing here. Just

>> Would y'all do that?

>> DO DUDES FEEL LIKE THAT?

>> I YO, you just took the words out of my

mouth. Like, would you do that?

>> Do what?

>> Like if you if you were dating some Like

say you weren't famous and you were just

dating somebody.

>> He doesn't have a lot of life experience

in that.

>> That's a good point. But like if you're

not famous,

>> if you weren't famous, you wouldn't be

dating nobody.

>> Yeah. I mean,

>> I'm not doing that. But yo, if you

weren't if you weren't successful,

>> if you weren't famous, you were dating

somebody like overly successful, would

you put pressure on them, even if you

come into the award ceremonies with

them, to be cast into the the light?

>> Like, you could be with them as an

escort. Like, I don't Yeah, I don't I'm

not into that.

>> Me either.

>> I can't imagine the man dudes like that.

I I could imagine, but

>> if a if a if a if a A-list actress

need asked one of you guys to accompany

her to the Oscars,

>> is that an automatic no cuz y'all

involved?

>> Yes.

>> Oh, you mean now?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Yes.

>> [ __ ] I might not even watch that. I

might not watch this on TV.

>> Damn right. I understand. You can't do

it. I understand.

Ah,

I'm going.

I'm going. I'm going. Yeah, you good.

I'm going. I'm going. I'm going. Wait a

minute. Wait. I'm going. So, Halle

Berry, I'm going is like, "Flip, I need

you to come with me to the hospital."

>> Wait, wait, wait. Hie, I might have to

have my

>> Who is the A-lister? I'll be like, "Yo,

>> no." But my my initial reaction would be

no.

>> Okay. Your uninitial reaction would be

what? It depends on the conversation I

have with my girl. If my girl say no or

no.

>> Well, let me tell you, let me How would

you want to guide that conver? Yeah. How

would you want to guide that

conversation? How would you It's a good

look. I'll go home. Yeah.

>> I would go home and say, "Yo, Halle

Berry wants to take me to the Oscars.

What do you feel about that?"

>> I got everybody in here

>> Spanish

all three.

>> I got everybody in here doing this would

be good for my career.

>> Yeah, but that

>> I have everybody in here doing it. I

would do. I would try to get that off.

>> No, at least having the talk with your

partner. I'm going to try to get it off.

I'm going to tell y'all it's not it's

not going to work. No, I just said that.

I said, "Yo, Halle Berry, like you JLo,

Halib Berry, it could be somebody."

>> Yeah. It don't got to even be that high.

Somebody that I think would be a good

look for my potential career. I'm going

to go home and try to sell it. And even

if she says, "Yeah, it's going to be a

miserable miserable year." Plus,

>> I want to hear Are you going to tell her

the Oscars is going to get these houses

built?

>> The Oscars going to get the houses

built.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. I would This is what he's like.

I'm a podcaster.

>> No, I'm in the media space.

>> Yeah.

>> Let's go. Is

>> he practiced that?

>> Hey, none of y'all going home with that.

I just ain't going home with that.

>> It's not It's not true. I try though.

I'm so sure it's not going to work that

I'm not going to try.

>> I would try. I

>> 100% tried this before.

>> How'd it work out? Um, not the greatest.

>> You ain't see me at no.

>> Yeah, I didn't go. You ain't see me

talking.

>> But I tried it and in my head it made

sense. It made sense for me to try it. I

didn't really expect her to all the way

understand what I was saying. But it was

the whole, "Hey, my career."

>> How how uh uh abrasive was the No,

>> I don't know that she said no.

>> How you can feel the disappointment.

Feel the brain on your skin. No one else

will feel it for you. Yeah. I don't know

that she said no.

>> But you she just kind of you can feel

the no in the air like be select.

>> She hit you with a half.

>> Oh

>> yeah. It was she can't say that. No.

>> No. She the half is never

>> Yeah. You don't want that. I'd rather

you say no then have fun.

>> But is it implied that we going to after

the Oscars?

>> No.

>> Come on.

It's it's implied that you are

charismatic and you are attractive and

the possibility of being in somebody's

company at an event like that could lead

to something else.

>> And listen, when I tried it, it was very

early on in the relationship. I don't

think that [ __ ] flies at all right now.

I don't even know if I can ask that [ __ ]

right now.

>> That's I wish I would go home and ask my

wife if I could go with an A-list

actress to the Oscars.

>> See, but if that's my wife, then I would

ask,

>> [ __ ] I'm going, [ __ ]

>> If that's if that's my wife, then I

would 100% ask. Might be on some might

be on something. Yeah. Watch me there. I

wouldn't hold her hand. I wouldn't touch

her, man. I'll be right there. We're not

worried about that.

>> My hands be behind my back. Yeah. Well,

we are. We are worried, man. We are

worried.

>> Would you let your WIFE GO TO NO. Of

course you won't. Of course. Hey yo,

>> if your wife if your wife

>> PhD,

>> but if your wife was in me, if your wife

was in media, if your wife was an

actress, if your wife was

>> I don't care if she does arm security.

>> Let me finish. If your wife was in

entertainment, it might be part of her

job to go. Is that you know what I mean?

>> To do what? [ __ ] you do a lot of

smiling in them interviews with them

ladies [ __ ]

>> OH, WE HAVE DR. MARK. HELLO. HELLO. What

was that white lady you just spoke TO? I

WAS JUST WATCHING IT. WHO was that?

>> Oh, whatever.

Now, excuse me.

>> It was a nice smile, boy.

>> I wasn't smiling for no in case.

>> Whatever you smile for. Shake my hand.

>> I shake your hand, but I don't know what

you're talking about.

>> YOU WAS BAD TEETH. MY WIFE COULDN'T GO.

NO. YEAH, YOU WOULD CHANGE something cuz

No, I'm not changing something. I just

don't know what you're talking about.

But Oh, I find it. But but part we find

fine. But but part of the problem is

particularly if you're publicly in a

relationship like you, right? Or any of

us, like us.

>> All of us. But I'm just using example is

if you were to go, even if you had that

discussion with your lady, all the blogs

going to say is you broke up and that

you and that you out with somebody new.

So it's going to be embarrassing. True.

True.

>> And so what your partner's going to be

thinking about is the embarrassment and

that's going to trump whatever's going

on with your career.

>> So we letting the blogs run our [ __ ]

now. Now you let her feelings run this

[ __ ] Joe was a good one.

>> Give him a chain.

>> Let's go to prize [ __ ]

>> Give him the chain.

>> Go to prize [ __ ]

>> That was that was that was You got it.

You thought it

respecting her feelings.

>> Uh anyway, before before we go to prize

picks though, um quick question for you

guys. What's up? since we were around.

Not like this has anything to do with

that.

>> How long after you move from a place do

you get to claim the place?

>> I'm thinking about this because of Nory

and Peter Rosenberg's

>> little back and forth where Nory went to

do the New Morning Show uh with Mel and

he was like, "Yo, it feels good to hear

some New York

>> some the show sounds like and feels like

New York now."

>> Yeah.

>> To which Pete took offense.

>> He was I love Pete, but that was a lot.

>> I thought he made a lot of valid points.

>> Wow.

I think I I'm sorry to interrupt it. I

don't think there's anything harmful in

saying that I like hearing New York

voices on the premier New York radio

station

>> cuz none of them respectfully are from

New York. And I think that's okay. It's

okay to like he was it's not saying you

weren't good at your job. It's not

saying your show wasn't dope. It's not

saying any of that [ __ ] It's just like

it's nice to hear someone from New York

on hot. I agree with that. But for

people that are mutually fly with both

Mero and the old morning show and you go

to the new show and say, "Oh, finally."

And feels good. I can see how it could

come off way to Pete.

>> The sauce sounded sincere and he didn't

sound uh

>> Yeah, he

>> he didn't sound mean in his It's nice to

hear New York voices on a New York radio

station. He if he if he said like how

you said it, I would completely

understand.

But Pete's response was, "I've been in

New York for

20 years now. Uh, I've been repping

underground New York hiphop more than

anybody in the position. Uh, married a

New York woman, had my baby in New York.

I've been in New York. And on the flip

side, Nory hasn't lived here for 15

years."

And it was wasn't until we got to the

end that I was like, h

interesting.

>> How long do we get to claim a place or

act like we're in tune

>> with the ons goingings of the place

while you don't live there?

>> I don't think he did that.

>> I can speak as someone who's not from

here. I've been here for 20 years.

>> I don't necessar I still claim Elmmyra.

M

>> I don't I wouldn't complain if someone

said you don't sound like a New Yorker.

I don't think that that's out of pocket

cuz I'm not from New York. I think

that's okay.

>> But sounding like it seemed like they

were talking past each other cuz like I

I agree with you. It's like

>> if you're not from there, you're not

from there. You could always say that

>> but Rosen Brooks was I put on for New

York.

>> Mhm.

>> In terms of the artists, in terms of the

radio, all these other things.

>> And he did. And that's and his point

was, I'm actively in New York right now

during a mass exod.

>> Yeah.

>> I'm here and you're not.

>> Why do you get to say that to me?

>> Yeah.

>> But he can still say because I'm from

here. I like I grew up here. I'm a New

Yorker. Now that I'm I touch down back

in the city, whether it be 10 years, 15

years, it just feels good to hear it

sounding like New York.

>> But why if you listening to Florida

radio? So that that I'm listening to

y'all.
