hired by the french side yeah when you were on our side you did not do just for laughs you did just pour yeah right now wait exactly don't do that again [Applause] like soup coming out tomorrow all

but i called my boys and asked them to pull up we have admin preach in the [ __ ] building boom uh we're also here with mark how do you pronounce his name malcolm [Music] guys we are here okay so you guys are from montreal obviously that's why you speak french uh well maybe you might speak french also because you're haitian uh yeah sure a little bit there's a lot of there's a lot more because i'm i'm born in canada yeah in montreal yeah specifically specifically because i know a lot of my cousins don't speak french they don't they're haitian [Music] so yeah they speak real but they can't speak french we're gonna get to this machete store in a little bit we're gonna get to the machete store in a little bit okay preach has an amazing machete story that i've heard like from multiple people about you like i'll just be talking about you guys and then i'm like oh dude you gotta you gotta have him tell you the machete story and i'd be like what he goes oh yeah there's a crazy machete story so we're gonna get to the machete store look at this the more you smile the more [ __ ] up i know he literally sat down he literally sat down i've never heard this question asked once we've had a lot of guests on this podcast he sat down he looked to the back of our set he goes where are the machetes from where are they from did you want a name what's the best year it depends it depends if uh the grain of the no i don't i don't know that's not it depends on what you use them for [Music] what do you use them for preach you could cut grass in sugar canes okay and just want to say that sugar canes have the same consistency as bones moving right along [Applause] have you cut someone's bones with a machete preach okay when there's cameras turned on we call that evidence you sure i haven't 100 yet remove the machetes uh okay let's start it up rogan thoughts boys this is heavy now i know it looks like we just got as many black people in this room as we possibly could in order to have this discussion but tell the people you guys were booked here a month ago to come here facts 100 thanks and also when i watched the studio it's just white people so say again i appreciate that we waited for alex you know what it is let's go let's go it's because white people are on time yeah okay maybe there's something over there the timing of it is facts for february they hold up them old clips just in time for history month yeah shout out to them no but i don't know you know when some [ __ ] is calculated when it feels calculated it feels calculated it i don't know do you guys think that's what it is to me it's pretty obvious but i'm curious when you would if you've never watched the podcast and you've never seen the clips where they've been pulled from yeah i i you would one hundred percent think he's one of the worst people undoubtedly right i've been watching the podcast for what 13 12 years now so i'd even see the original planet of the apes clip when it first like when it was out right like that's old that you're talking about that's when he had like the three man set up and it looks terrible yeah but that's when podcast was wasn't taken off yeah so do i think it's calculated undoubtedly just by the way they cut it up some of the some of the cuts were nefarious like even when he's talking about like yo the word has a lot of meaning he would say the word instead of saying the n word right are we gonna act are we gonna sit here and act like somebody just discussing a difficult topic is the same as going up to somebody saying hey you're it you know what i mean right right right right i think we all there's a difference there's a huge difference if i'm going to history class it was like the word right in the history context where i wouldn't look at him like he said the word how dare this right you all know there's a difference yeah and anybody who's reasonable know so when they edit that and they cut it and they do a super cut like that i can't help but look at you funny right just by the way the video came out right right yeah that makes sense like are you saying there's a difference between calling somebody that yeah and then saying the word in a discussion the difference between yo you're a [ __ ] and me saying man listen the way the word [ __ ] has been used throughout history there's a difference between those two things offensive just because you said the word technically that's what it is but that's where we're at now and i believe that there was a switch like let's let's can we just stop two seconds let's agree that there's been a switch in the past two years or three there's been a switch of how we handle things right with that word that word was everywhere now we handled it and everything and stuff same thing that happened with that's the blackface in canada but that's another situation but there's been a switch where people get really riled up so that's what's happened within three years but you're going to take a clip from before that's what's interesting we acted like that it's really funny how i'm looking at the situation it's like you're taking something from let's say 10 years ago but you're judging it with the eyes of how we think now not taking the conservation there's been a switch in the past three or five years after five years even with the trans stuff and everything's like there's been a switch right right right from 15 or 10 years ago and judging it at the eyes of today i i feel like it's a bit dissension noise let's put everything in context and we have to put everything in context with the time the the the the the time that it's been watched yeah interesting al what do you think i agree with that this version to me it's like when people are going back on old tweets and trying to cancel people so now that everybody wiped their twitter now they're doing it with youtube oh [ __ ] yeah everything every day i go on my facebook and i remove my memes that i put before yeah yeah because facebook just got a machete [Laughter] okay god but over there that's what it is it's like they bring back some like i got some some strikes on facebook something i posted on in 2012 and i'm right you didn't catch it in 2012 when i posted it yeah it's probably changed over time too so to judge backwards is so nonsensical but the platform won't take that on themselves they don't say they don't want it to be their liability so they put it on you to go review everything you've ever done with the new rules that come out but let's keep it a stack who the [ __ ] is reading terms of service right right everybody just scrolls down and hits accept you know i mean when you sign up for anything i don't think anybody's ever read terms of service in their whole life yeah no so i was just like and you know what i can't say i don't know if you felt the same way when i saw all those black celebrities whether it's india re or all of them on the page being like yeah go queen [ __ ] rogan i can't believe such i get upset because i'm like i hate the way sometimes black folks can be so manipulated into whatever agenda somebody else has to use like the racism term to bring down like if spotify or whoever's got problems with this misinformation want to deal with that fine but don't be trying to rope in like he's a misogynist oh he's a racist uh he's a trans they always go through the same yeah to try to get you yeah and then i just can't stand it with black celebrities just jump on so readily for something they don't know [ __ ] about yeah i understand the knee-jerk reaction right because if it's something that you've experienced that's painful and you're not familiar with that person and you like you said earlier you just see the video the knee-jerk reaction is like nah [ __ ] this this is crazy if you don't know that person but i think that like there's two discussions happening and there's a little confusion one is when when people like myself are out here like defending rogan now that's my guy i just defend my friends you don't even have to ask me why like i know this person like simple as that if al does some [ __ ] up [ __ ] i didn't do nothing yeah you don't care that's not his own machete if you kill someone a machete and you know you've also chopped down sugar cane and you're chopping through bone you're like oh this is like sugar cane like if you're that type of person like it doesn't matter you're my guy who cares yes you can trust me because i know what you do with him we have to trust you preacher we have to trust you and there's no policing if there was police he was the guy but you're not walking no sugarcane field with him why are you [ __ ] up let's give it a stir i want to show you my property in port-au-prince i can see it google maps no but so that there are people responding they clearly don't know joe that they were saying like oh all these people out here trying to justify him saying the n word and him saying this this uh you know horrible joke and it's like joe has said that he thinks those things are horrible himself so nobody's trying to defend something that joe doesn't think is okay what we're trying to defend is the accusation of him being a racist and we know this person as a friend so we're like nah he's not i know this person's friend and also we're trying to talk about the convenience in timing yeah of this uh racist accusation because they tried to hit him with the misinformation that didn't stick because he put it right back in their face right so all of a sudden this racism like immediately right off the bat comes out this has been out for 10 years everybody a lot of people who are tweeting about this video seen that video bro yeah a lot of them see it and didn't say [ __ ] and they piled the [ __ ] on right when it was convenient so that's what i'm talking about like this is a hit piece and i don't know who the [ __ ] started it and now that there's so much pylon you can't right really point in any one direction right but it does come from somebody and i'm like who benefits the most from this i don't know the next video is going to be the trans video yeah it's going to be and the final blow is going to be anti-semitic [Music] you know who's going through this um right now is jimmy carr you know comedian jimmy carter yeah did you see the joke that he's getting no no i heard about it so basically he had this joke in his special where uh and i'm gonna probably butcher the joke but he essentially goes uh you know we've all heard about the absolute atrocities that happened during the holocaust where six million jews uh we know were killed uh um but a lot of people don't talk about uh is the thousands of roman gypsies that were also killed and that's because people don't ever highlight the good things [Laughter] i'll be laughing like he had a bad interaction with a gypsy right yeah baby have you ever been to europe and you know how they feel about gypsies you know every europeans are laughing they [ __ ] yes the european viewers are like yeah we hate them [ __ ] too honestly bro i think i think a gypsy baby woke up and laughed at it a sleeping gypsy baby woke up giggled went back to bed but uh but here's here's a perfect and like they're trying to get him out of here for that yeah yeah and yeah i guess i don't know why he has the the benefit of having an audience yes he said it on a comedy special where there's a group of people that all laughed and so when people look at it they go oh yeah there's a buffer he's trying to be offensive he's trying to tell an offensive joke yes so there's a little bit more like context and i think social groups and we've had this conversation before it's like rarely do people get canceled for jokes yeah like when it is a true no no like a true joke you know like your boy mike ward was making a joke and he's but that's and and a little kid is back on that [ __ ] again really so now supreme court just give context real quick give context uh my acquired he's giving me a quebec comedian and he um he made a joke 13 years ago yep he wrote that joke 13 years ago made that joking special about a kid and basically the the the the whole thing is about the whole joke the premise of the joke is how you there's some people that are untouchable that you can talk you cannot talk about different people and he put that kid in there that kid that has a disability all right and uh that kid tried to sue him for 40 grand or something first it was 80. then it was 35 and then supreme court of canada said like nah he didn't infringe in your rights it's comedy chill kid is back wow for 372 thousand dollars whoa for him and his mom and now they want to go on defamation wow yeah i try to drown the kid the kid won't die i thought that this disability was that uh he was uh i thought whatever yeah yeah basically his disability is that he's ugly you just took a machete to that [ __ ] joke [Laughter] you remember that bit right there you go vividly okay at the end of the day when you're seeing all this stuff i don't i don't think it's necessarily emotional about the jokes because i don't think it matters whether you're joking or not it doesn't really matter to them i think it's what you represent and then how big of a figure you are right because carr as big as he is he's also living in england and england they don't really [ __ ] with cancer culture the same way that we do out here so it doesn't matter nearly as much there maybe it's chappelle for what he says is his comedy specials whether you deem it a joke or not i think once you start to represent something in the zeitgeist they start to look at you different and with rogan specifically the jump to go to spotify the more eyes you know like there's also a discussion to be had about the more mainstream you become the more new eyes you invite to yourself and if they're not used to what you say if they're starting to realize how much sway you have or how much influence you have you bring in a whole bunch of eyes that would normally never want to watch your stuff and they come in with that criticism i don't even think it's that much of a hit piece i think because he's gotten so much recognition now people are like i don't like this dude i'm gonna start looking through his [ __ ] to see if i can find any dirt and then they started watching a couple podcasts and like yo he said the n word there i could super cut this i don't even think it's as calculated as that i don't think it has to i think just the more your name's out there the more people are going to look you up and if people don't like what you're saying they're just going to find things to go after you especially if you're attached to an institution because then they can put the pressure on the institution well that's what they're doing 100 that's what they do but it's just i understand that you don't feel like it's calculated i just use a calculated thing because it's us yo the timing is super sus man but i'm about to say shifty but did you see the thread on your tweet no come on bro i don't look at my mentions of your own terrifying [ __ ] like when i open twitter and i get like a lot of mentions i'm like oh here it is there's a thread on your tweet with 18 000 likes oh really explaining who did it oh who do they say this is like uh like a long thread but basically and i don't know again if this is true or not but this is what they piece together they basically say uh they look at all the people that are propagating all the initial tweets and they say it's a twitter page called patriot takes this is the whole porno thing right okay so patriot takes puts out all these things if you look at patriot takes bio they're partnered with a company called midas touch yeah and then midas touch is a professional political organization they're a democrat super pac run by three brothers and you can basically like find the people and they're basically just getting like unlimited funding and i don't really understand how super pacs work but my understanding is like it's a political tool that you can just get unlimited money to fund campaigns so you can't put money into politicized pockets but you can hire a super pac they can get unlimited money so it basically acts as like a financial buffer between the rich people and the corporations and the politicians that's actually making the influence yeah that's how like george soros can just put in endless millions to support all these tiny little but it also allows it also allows the pack to control the decisions of the candidate so if a candidate wants the money they got to do what the pac wants certain promises exactly and it goes both ways there's republican super pacs and democrats super packs right so people are pointing to patriot takes in their connection with midas touch as the basically it's coming from like unspecified democrat funding now now portnoy did like a youtube live yeah yesterday and uh he and i think he referenced the tweet of mine and then he was talking to these guys and then what was the outcome because it felt like at least from the reaction on on the internet that no no clear like victor there was no clear irresponsible party i mean the one thing that you can watch and just assume is that midas touch isn't responsible for cutting together the compilation video of rogan yeah it was also the same one that was done for uh portnoy and business insider like you can i mean i don't know the proof but you can kind of feel that almost portnoy believe that and then it led into his belief to say tell me that you guys are part of this group that is trying to really bring people down because porno thought there was connective tissue between the hit piece on him and the videos that went out on him and this piece on rogan right so he was trying to be like yo there's one party trying to take all of us down let's point the finger at these guys see if it's them but it looked like the guys offended themselves well yeah and he just didn't have enough proof i mean it was pretty impromptu like it was from a couple tweets early in the day time to like a midnight new york time like live session and he tried to pivot towards uh but yeah he did name check you that he kind of saw oh [ __ ] this is a uh you know a strategic power play and a hit piece and yeah but i think it's two two pronged if it is the super pack that's behind it because one they get the i guess like clout and business like resume of saying like yo we took down a massive political player and like a you know a broadcaster so if you're going to try to like put money into a super pack this is the one you want to put into because we have the actual influence oh yeah and secondly if you look at rogan's endorsements in the past even if he's endorsed democrats it hasn't been like establishment democrats right like not democrats that people in the democrat party probably are not as big of fans of so you would say the democratic establishment has the most to gain by silence and rogan i mean he's not gonna support the people that they want to put in power i don't know if they have the most again necessarily like i think news has a lot to gain and i don't know if you can equate or well that's the other one which one you can say is the most there's a bunch of people who stand to gain from it and they're gonna pile right the [ __ ] up on of course and that's why it's almost like the perfect storm if you're trying to get him out of here because all you need to do is light the match conservative media might have something to gain from it i don't think i think go ahead i was going to say without trump in the building i think this becomes a great focal point like i feel like there's always a new story on rogan everywhere oh yeah they've made him the new trump right right which i think is not the most convenient because rogan is not outlandish enough for them to like fight back or to be combative so it doesn't create a great back and forth that stays on tv but as long as he can come up with these stories they'll turn him out as long as they can and he is white male straight yeah right said some racist stuff says edgy things potentially anti-vaxx says some controversial stuff in regards to pandemic yeah perfect vocal point because they got all the clips that they need perfect focal point it's money it's money i guarantee you the stories that they write on rogan are probably their highest rated stories 100 and i don't even think that nobody has to benefit from from it's not from rogan being here um because rogan kind of encourages people to talk yeah they have a different opinion yeah people to be able to converse people to be in the middle and what what political party hates people in the middle people that are nuanced nuance kills the political thing yeah yeah you gotta go on one side or you gotta go in the other you gotta be all the way blue or all the way red god forbid you think for yourself right like yeah yeah if he's able to just be like no no maybe they got something and maybe they got something and let's meet in the middle both these [ __ ] they hate that [ __ ] i think that's i think that's that's that's the thing on the other side though and i think it's important to bills be fair i've seen a lot of people criticize rogan for the simple fact that when he has these more controversial guests his own biases come in and he doesn't offer any pushback on the guests who may say some wacky stuff because there have been some guests he's had on who said some stuff that's just absolutely nonsensical yeah yeah right and i and and to that i'm always like yeah you know what there is a bicep even me when i watch the podcast i can see that but i don't look to rogan to be the unbiased source the same way when i go on cnn i'm not expecting them to be like well i can understand the anti-vaxxers the same way when i go on like right everybody's got their i think there's this idea of like the unbiased individual or the unbiased reporter or the unbiased news network it doesn't exist dude not that i know of you anybody [ __ ] supreme court they're literally hired to be unbiased and they vote the party line every single time and that's why it's such a big [ __ ] deal when they're when one is going to get nominated who might be like a republican or has certain beliefs it's like it shouldn't matter what their party is no you're literally just looking at the constitution and making your decision based on the consequences you're supposed to do your job so their political values shouldn't matter out the window we'll write on the paper condition but nobody reads the [ __ ] time but you know that's a good point like we don't i don't want rogan to be neutral just be you dog no like he never said hey i'm the neutral guy yeah and i'm just giving it information like have the people on you're interested in yo if you're interested in native americans have a guy who wrote a [ __ ] book about native americans you don't owe nobody anything no right cnn fox news the people the people that come out there and they just go hey we are the truth you owe us some truth yo yeah and if you don't we could be upset but the guy doing a podcast that's talking to scientists and is curious about things he owes his he owes us his curiosity that's exactly what a podcast is yeah you might listening to it and while you're on your laptop like oh they just talked about this let me google and do yeah these like they forgot the whole yeah yeah god forbid it worked out yeah he forgot about it the minute that that [ __ ] started getting numbers the minute that people started i'm not gonna look at you i'm gonna look at them because you [ __ ] up but that's not on joe rogan that's all on them on all the media that [ __ ] up and do some [ __ ] up [ __ ] guys

flagrant for official rules guys let's get back to the show do you think there's a bit of programming like in the sense that whether it's this or whether it's the fact that people watch a two-minute clip and they come to a knee-jerk reaction is there not a bit of programming mentally where our minds are just not capable of we we have to simplify things i can't get to know everybody like i'm not going to watch a 10-minute video an hour or one hour video on how to know if i see two minute clip like you're a piece of [ __ ] to me because i don't have time to do the extra research yeah i don't think our brains can look at every incident and wait to make a judgment right we had a discussion about this yeah yeah so like i'm reading this book right now roger ailes yeah like the dude that basically like ran fox from like behind the scenes and he's like evil capitalist guy but like also kind of a genius at the same time like a tricky tricky character yeah basically he was so he was the first guy to like made politics entertainment on tv it was like yo make the tv thing for people and he has a quote in the book where he's like bro thinking is hard yeah it is hard to think let the tv think people want to just digest information that's already worked out i mean that's my frustration right now with news is like i don't trust any of it so i find myself checking out of information yes right like i actually will go to like my friends for takes i go to my friend going what is your take on this even if it's not based in fact or anything i'm just like what do you feel because your feeling is probably just as accurate as the [ __ ] i'm gonna get on msnbc or fox news right so if people want to remove themselves from that thinking process and they find a place where they believe the truth is yeah they'll start to just convince themselves that that's the truth right it is what it is so i understand like people feeling maybe misled in that regard but like that's the human that's the human reaction that's a human instinct let's do as little work as possible yeah to get the most information that we can yes right it's like that's why books exist right oh this guy's an expert on that he figured it all out okay i'm going to digest this book because i don't want to go to college for three years and then you're just going for [ __ ] and then have a doctor you wanted some real [ __ ] i don't give a [ __ ] about it i'm trying to figure out a story i go on youtube i go let me see if i've been preached already figured out this goddamn story you know how many people watch your [ __ ] because they're like i don't want to research this [ __ ] i've been preach researching it yeah they did the work you guys did the work you know we did google yeah when we were doing the rants bro the research was the hardest part writing the jokes is fun getting in a room talking that [ __ ] et cetera but writing the [ __ ] research paper going in there reading the [ __ ] articles talking the experts yeah yeah but the news don't want to do that no more they want [ __ ] i want ric flair yeah yeah everybody yeah tucker is entertaining mommy laughs they want they want they want that and the news cannot do that anymore and they didn't see rogan with his numbers and then he gets all the publicity that we can't get yeah all that money we want that money you can't get that yo tucker they kind of cry about that [ __ ] tucker that low-key he's the most he just got like you really gotta be like so what are the democrats think it doesn't matter what the democrats think you gotta go full wrestling bro yeah if he went full wrestling i think he gets everybody on him versus don lemon bro oh don king [Laughter] nancy pelosi michael jackson imagine we're going to do it don lemon yeah i think the only one who could go head-to-head with him would be jon stewart i i'd watch yeah but stewart's an actual comedian like stuart will mop the floor with with tucker what about actual combat oh actual fight yeah who's going to win in a fight yeah oh anderson cooper the pain tolerance bro just think about it the pain tolerance is different he's assuming he's a bottom say what that's mad yeah i don't know how many books he had to release i know for [Laughter] okay um actually we know we're gonna talk about the rogan thing yes um the other thing i was gonna say is like when people watch a podcast so this is the mistake of the people and i feel like people do this with comedy too is they'll listen to rogan and they'll internalize things as facts i'm just listening to somebody have a conversation whether they're right or wrong like i'm not assuming that yeah the same way people go to dave chappelle's comedy special they're like that's facts no it's not it's a joke because comedians often times they'll off escape the truth they'll stretch facts they'll misplace timings all the time when they're telling a story of a real event and that's okay because you're doing it for the punchline but the viewer the issue with them is like they're like man when you got that the baby situation like he was wrong like the baby shot self-defense like [ __ ] that's not a self-defense team yeah yeah yeah yeah you're watching a comedy special but i think there's also a responsibility on the viewers to not be so lazy and to not just hear something be like that's the truth you got to remind them as comedy it's like you know when you're on stage yeah someone's like excuse me actually what shut up yeah judge your [ __ ] mouth comedy shut up you know what i'm here for that uh actually he can actually shut the [ __ ] up like i've been always i can see that happen with you guys a lot because you'll be on on your youtube channel and you'll say what is happening in a story so people might perceive you guys as the news not only comedians because you guys are stand-up comics yeah but probably the most interaction people have with you guys is delivering them the news yeah yeah that's interesting which is sad which is so sad because early in my career and and alex can probably uh talk about this too is like when i was doing brilliant idiots a lot of people didn't know me as a comic yeah so they would hear me saying these wild things on brilliant idiots and like this kid is going crazy what the [ __ ] is this guy talking about you never see this man in his early days matt yeah i was out here but uh but i put out some stand up literally put out stand up and then all the people that watch the podcast saw the stand up and they're like oh here are the fleshed-out versions of those crazy takes and he's just being a comic on a podcast and it immediately changed the perception everybody that was like upset or frustrated didn't understand me before after that moment immediately started going oh he's just doing that comedian thing right and it was it was liberating bro because i got to go be myself on the podcast instead of being like someone who is a social commentator i'm a comedian bro yeah i feel you on that and that's why it'd be interesting to see you guys put out more stand up because people could look at you guys for the truth and they'll look at you guys for the information but then when you guys are busting balls or you know you have that kind of hot take that's a little spicy yeah they go yeah that's what they do yeah these guys are comics but i would want to have more comedy on my channel but shit's a little dead right there's a reason why we got that freedom convoy yeah yeah so are you all supporting the racist homophobic misogynistic i want to support the people that want to kill me for sure i'm just waiting for a truck to come by so i'm like hey take me home daddy yeah if i get to do another comedy show run me over bro i sat by the road somebody's trying to give me cookies i'm like i thought i thought the kkk was about to roll through she had cookies they were baking stuff blankets little gingerbread man come on you want some poutine they got that [ __ ] by the side of the road it's crazy what's happened to montreal too yes got you yeah you guys are they've been converging because that city is the capital right it's happening in my hometown of ottawa shitty places but it's a country i don't know you're from ottawa i was born there but i grew up elsewhere okay yeah gotcha all right so break it down for like us americans and like there's other foreigners that are watching this podcast because we're just getting the american version of it right and obviously that's very skewed right because the left is gonna be like oh yeah these racist people have organized this protest they're terrorizing the city they're occupying it and then the right is basically going no these are peaceful people and the community's coming together and look they cleaned down the the statue of the one leg guy that used to run in canada right like whatever the guy's name is i don't know terry fox yeah okay so so what is it what's going on and like where do canadians stand on it when it started out it started out as just to enter back in canada truckers would have to uh do 14 days of quarantining if they don't get vaccinated after they've left the u.s they went they went to the us and they want to come back in canada right they would say yo you're gonna have to you're gonna have to do 14 days of quarantine unless you get vaccinated and you got to get vaccinated the thing is 90 of the truckers are vaccinated they already are yeah they are it's just that they said even for that time but they went they just tilted they went like you know what [ __ ] this [ __ ] give the [ __ ] it's not so much that all the the the the the truckers are not that they are most of them are yeah it's principle it's just like when you know what [ __ ] it yeah [ __ ] it any d marks down and he it's it started with that and then they just added a whole bunch of things okay now we have demanded so remove all the minutes we know it it it doesn't work like that it doesn't work remove all those mandates and stuff like that so now it's bigger it's bigger than anti-vax people and you feel like canada is supporting this you feel like most canadians are rocking with them and interesting i think people see the support online and assume that but actually most canadians so canada is very different from the states most canadians support the mandates the vaccine mandates all that stuff locked down by polls by all the numbers even though the support has dwindled over time it's still a majority so they're supportive of the lockdowns and all the measures i know because i live in quebec and even though a lot of the young people in montreal are not down with it the rest of the province doesn't give a [ __ ] really they're fine with a lot of this if you're not maybe if you're not even the restaurants even no they like obviously the business owners are really hurt by it so they can't stand it yeah but if you're talking about the people who matter who are the voters to the politicians right then the voters they're with it and the voters the voters are boomers yeah yeah that's interesting the voters don't care about the restaurant tour they don't get [ __ ] up i don't care they don't care about clubs comedy clubs they don't care about restaurants industry because they don't do that i actually saw this was the i was in an uber and there's a guy i had the radio on and he was talking to this old guy who was out a bit in the boonies and he was like how do you feel about the fact that a lot of young people they're depressed some of them are feeling suicidal they feel like their social lives you know they can't see their friends from high school or they can't hang out with anybody like they're really being hurt by all the restrictions don't you have any sympathy for them he's like oh [ __ ] him [ __ ] the clubs [ __ ] it everybody it's time to stay home it's none of my [ __ ] there's zero consideration for the younger generation and so that sentiment is very pervasive they don't care and everyone's kind of out there for their own self-interest in that regards i we're getting none of that here no the only version of that and maybe you guys are seeing different [ __ ] than me but the only version of that i get is from trudeau and from the politicians yeah where they're hiding right now yo that was nowhere to [ __ ] [ __ ] right that's him why y'all vote for this guy man we bring you back canadians hey hey hey don't put everybody in the same pot you know what it is it's not that enough y'all he didn't win the field lost that's [ __ ] even right there how you got a loser in as president like they're good with the status quo yeah yeah they're good with this and he also timed his election really intelligently that's the most canadian [ __ ] ever you only have to win win wait a minute you were like the loser you elected the loser brother don't the white guy got a minority don't you [ __ ] do that too all right fine technically trump did win because they stole him okay hold on re-count out well listen we tried to make a change some of us went down there yeah dude we had our own little freedom convoy he just ran that was mad but yeah no um canadians overwhelmingly support um the mandates but you're seeing a lot of people online who are behind it people from other countries so online if you're consuming it that way you get the vibe yeah that you know what was interesting you know what was crazy you know that their gofundme was yeah it was disrespectful but you know who did it they actually admitted it who it was the mayor of ottawa like him and the government was the governor shut down and go fund me accepted he came on interviewing said yeah what yeah so the government got with a private institution it was good and now go fund me not even return the money they're going to give it to other random children no that's not true you can get your money back you can they don't want to give the money back okay because they get three percent right right so they don't want to give back that three percent obviously but if you ask for your money you can't get it back if you don't ask for it they're going to just distribute naturally that's what they do that's crazy to me but here's that's what they do in these situations i was looking at like if you give money to a charity then they can't you know they can't give it to someone they don't automatically give it back to you because they wanted that little that little piece yeah yeah but the government can step in and manipulate the private business i wouldn't say myself last time i checked it was like 45 percent agree with the convoy so it's not overwhelming but it's still the majority still agrees against it you know i mean so but i don't know it's um we'll see we'll see what's going on yeah with the whole cancellation of the gofundme with them moving to another city like they were really in ottawa now they're really in uh quebec city no is it true that they're calling it an occupation now and that's why the gofundme was going to take it because a gofundme can support it was smearing a protest it's all smeared right it's all smeared it's also how do you guys feel is like like canada is supposed to be this like progressive loving like everybody gets along country and it has these a lot of amazing things like i think one thing i admire about canada is it seems to and again this is from the outside it seems like canada does a good job of getting most people on board with the canadian sentiment right it seems like there isn't there is a love of being canadian and then that can cross cultural barriers too like there is this idea of like hey we got to look out for one another and that's the right thing to do and we can be proud of that it's just that our pr is better than yours um [Music] you don't think that it's you don't think that your political opposition isn't as extreme like even your right wing doesn't even touch our left yet yet i could get there i do think that there's far more trust in our institutions than you guys have in yours okay that's because our institutions don't have the same rep that your yours do they haven't broken your trust just yet no and if you think about quality of life i'm pretty sure if you look at the happiness index we're gonna rank higher than you guys okay why because a lot of our basic needs are taken care of for the most part we have good social safety nets we got health care for people you know i mean we don't have the same issues in terms of like if you're poor there's a lot more opportunity for you in canada to be here in the states right so i think in terms of the general sentiment towards the government we're far ahead of you guys in that regards right and so when the government says we're gonna do a lockdown well they've earned a lot more trust from us like you guys must be right where we've had the government [ __ ] us over for like i don't trust these [ __ ] who's really behind this exactly big pharma want to lock it down like who's really profiting off of this so you guys believe but now you have these instances where you see the government yeah using their power to kind of silence individual citizens do you start to lose a little bit of faith for your government it's called a brittle a bit but it's not it's not the same it's going to take a lot more and that's why i said yet we're not there yet but i mean if they keep on going like that it's going to happen it's just that their their pr is better than yours yeah you america's been known to say [ __ ] you a lot more than [ __ ] that [ __ ] [ __ ] you nah [ __ ] them that's you guys but that's culturally that's who we are like and the people i understand but the people who come here they're the [ __ ] you people yeah like everybody who comes to america one person in their family looked at the country they were from and all their family members were like i don't need y'all i don't know if you can attest to this i feel like immigrants even in canada like people from minority backgrounds already have before this pandemic not [ __ ] with the government yeah those are coming from places where the government is corrupt the government of canada doesn't have the greatest representation you know reputation with the indigenous people for example what wait what happened what happened did something happen with native americans he's an expert on that he got a machete from them so he knows all about him it's called a tomahawk yeah yeah that's real that's real that's real but yeah they think let's not act like they didn't find the bodies of uh six thousand kids whoa in uh yeah in the residence halls it's don't don't don't let's not act like jimmy carter let's not act like we all breezy with the native let's let's not act like uh natives don't have uh clean drinking water in the reservation let's let's yeah come on now yeah oh yeah we're all good yeah so i i think i think it's harder for us to gauge that level of trust because i've always kind of had that to some degree so i don't know how the more white populist would feel about how things are shifting i don't know i'm kind of isolated from that you kind of see some [ __ ] up [ __ ] sometimes just like yeah you hang around the natives you're like okay yeah you you you've been [ __ ] over just just like what they didn't okay cool same thing how do the natives feel about the convoy oh they're some of them are with them that's interesting yeah yeah because some of the people from the convoy are actually requested some of them requested yo can we do something about the water yeah can you do something about the water it's been time and trudeau said that he would do something about the water six years ago and he received i believe was 1.8 billion dollars in funding wow what do you think he did with that bought paint oh black paint [Laughter] right isn't that allowed yeah yeah i feel like that's different no it is different i feel like it is different isn't it not because i do yellow face isn't that different no i don't think it's different i think it's different because there's no cultural like um example of like with blackface there's examples of black people not being allowed to succeed in certain institutions and it's a mockery of black people in film right if we've seen that with brown face then i would go okay maybe we can't do that if there's no history of that then you should be able to do brownface yeah so it's not like it's offensive to put the color on your face it's offensive to remind us of this time period where black people were mocked and cinnamon i would just ask brown people i'll just ask how y'all [Laughter] story did come out though what uh they were trying to get tow trucks to tow away the the the the freedom convoy and they were like nah we're not doing that yeah we're not we're not like no we're not helping you guys you got to find someone else but yeah because they work so close to that let's see right there bro yeah we're not doing it it's like you defending rogan like you're not gonna do nothing that's my god that's where the instructors get their trainings so they're like i'm gonna tow these [ __ ] are gonna hire [Applause] i just love seeing canadians angry that [ __ ] is the best when black people do like the white guy voice in comedy that's how i feel doing canadians voices okay when i hear canadians i think that's what black people hear when they hear white people you feel employable yet what i understand carrying energy by the way i figured out care and energy it's this is and white people we have this in us it's just when you're not used to being inconvenienced it feels like an attack and poor white people don't have care and energy because they're used to being inconvenienced it's rich white people that like usually the people that around them are like um i don't know they're like they're like the people in the building are there to serve them right the people at their [ __ ] resort are there everybody's there to serve them so when somebody like interrupts or does something that they don't like they're like why would you be doing this to me black people are used to getting pulled over for no [ __ ] reason right followed around a store for no [ __ ] reason so when you're in convenience the knee jerk isn't go to karen so i literally think it's just simply a misunderstanding of inconvenience it's like white people sometimes you're going to get inconvenienced say again how did you discover this andrew i i put this together because i live in a building with rich people and the way don't say you live in a building with rich people bro you live in the building also yeah well now you try to experience it no no but so no but here's the thing like when you grow up in new york city like you get inconvenienced you get robbed right how could this traffic do this how could these people want to get home to their families no no loki like so like i'm used to i've been inconvenienced like i've been robbed like i've been like [ __ ] has [ __ ] up [ __ ] has happened to me because they didn't give a [ __ ] if i was white or not it was like yo you could be a mark get it right if you never experienced that with a lot of these people too like these people in my building anything goes wrong with the building they lose their [ __ ] [ __ ] they're screaming on people yelling and don't get me wrong we pay a lot to live there etc but there's part of me this goes like yo that's just a building like sometimes the elevator don't work like the elevator didn't work to you they want the elevator to work right so i'm not angry but the vitriol that's coming out of these people in their [ __ ] emails and i'm like i'm trying to like wrap my head up what the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] yeah but i don't want to take the stairs and now i'm going to take the stairs i'm going to miss the beginning of the sticks in the city it's streaming [ __ ] you get to it anyway that's i think they can it makes sense okay um make sense okay listen i want us to talk about something that's very important which is the canadian sensitivity yes because while we have canadians right here now it is it has been brought to my attention that your king drake has unfollowed asap rocky after the pregnancy announcement is that simping or pimping i'm sorry himself pimps and i'm like [ __ ] simpin and then rihanna came out with that with with that picture and then why are you going to post yourself crying a girl you don't know that when you don't understand [Music] were people crying over no i mean they made skits and [ __ ] like the boy would

percent we do we do beat you whenever they have exercises yeah we [ __ ] you all up oh where yeah cause you're not using the gold this [ __ ] right here yeah what exercise y'all beat us in everything yeah everything yeah we got everything how much oil you got from other countries yeah i'm saying how about how much you guys pay for a leader we're not throwing snowballs i love knowing the [ __ ] up [ __ ] about other countries especially the ones that have like great reputations yes like cannon has like a stellar reputation so when i find out like a little dirt i'm like ooh you know we need to give a shout out to who england for making y'all technically they made y'all too yeah yeah yeah they're the ones who dropped off the [ __ ] and be like yo procreate yeah no no no no no no no we made us we fought back you made us your money you got to 18 and moved out do you have the queen on your money y'all still live with your mom but who wants to see a bunch of old white dudes i rather see some white women you want i threw coins at these [ __ ] when i was in edmonton i did i swear to god i was throwing loonies and toonies buddy i was chucking them toonies at these girls i wasn't what they did is they rolled up a flyer and they rolled it up into a coin and you try to throw it into that coin does that lead into their [ __ ] yep that's no yeah it's on another level that's dope you can't do that in america with coins no i've thrown quarters of girls here like a roll of quarters yeah the homeless dog [ __ ] bathing in a fountain no but for real they were throwing coins at these girls bro oh okay yeah that's [ __ ] up dude we'll make it hail i don't awesome real know though if you guys hear somebody's in the military unless they've been deployed or they got some kind of combat role [ __ ] them really yeah i'm gonna keep it a stack i always say like thank you for your service a lot of [ __ ] just stay behind the computer and type okay like a lot of them just got real service members will tell you to say like there's levels yeah yeah you're right and so that's why i cringe whenever people like thank you for i didn't do [ __ ] i i did my i did my initial contract and then i bailed what'd you do i did my just so the way it works is you do your first contract that's either three four five years right so for me i was just an intelligence operator so i was working behind a keyboard yeah you feel me so i wasn't going overseas yeah everybody learns how to fire their guns and do all that stuff yeah not everybody gets a dangerous job so that's a pet peeve of mine when everyone just hears like a veteran but you've been there at least you uh contribute like i have that's one regret that i have is i didn't serve really yeah i wish i i wish i did at least like i think what is it basic and i think you do two years i think is depending on what contract or what job you take but i wish i did that i wish i dedicated some time what role would you be um probably captain general general i would have done four star general probably you would have been listed yeah yeah i would just probably do a four-star trip that's what i would go out for i'd be like yeah it's time but didn't you manage restaurants yeah manage restaurants but how'd that go well both of them are out of business okay but restaurants are different than people because i would try to make those mexicans drop and give me 20 but the [ __ ] mexicans they're dominicans no this was in uh santa barbara california yeah i went to college out there yeah but it is one of my regrets man i wish i was part i wish i like contributed to it like i was you know it you put regardless of you believe it or not you signed up to potentially put your life on the line maybe you were in the situation to do it but that is what happens now you don't maybe believe that but the reality is is if you're in the army and it's go time you're going to be the one that's on the lines so at least that's what i think i was like i wanted to contribute in that way and i never did my dad was in the army you know what i mean like i wish i did that and now i'm probably too old but i wish i did that i know oh you're not too old you could still join but now i think i think you need a different wave now i don't know man accepting no but you know you should often yeah yeah we're going to do some uso shows we're going to do some bases you're going to do some comedy you're going to get that i appreciate that you get for doing those shows like your setup is never great but the crowd is excited yeah i mean they can't wait they just haven't seen nobody watching on youtube right so like oh this guy's coming out the way for us so they're high energy so i always i always i always that's something i actually got to do i got to do miss halls you never you never never did i'm never going to do it which military you want which military joseph kony i'll bring puppets or something like that i want to do it here you know who can't use the pockets [Music] either land on a helicopter or on like a jet on that no dude the aircraft carrier would be so whoever in the navy is listening up that it's a social chair or something yeah it's a fraternity you see what you did to your [ __ ] job man turn into a fraternity bro hey i'm another i'm the only other veteran in the room you spent two days in the jewish army i did one week in the israeli army gadna and uh you were saying what really happened you weren't really in the army [Laughter] that's it that's the one that's the one in ten years they're going to take that clip and try to cancel that yeah yeah i'm keeping it recording this [ __ ] blessing permission you're good you're good i love it i love it um oh that's why you didn't want to cover pat anyways why you can't cover palestine no it's just like it was as a topic i feel like the con i remember watching this video yeah i remember you put out a video yeah it's like everyone's like yo at the time everyone's like you'll talk about it talk about it and like people got mad when we did it they're like oh you're a [ __ ] person you're supporting like apartheid or whatever yeah and i'm like listen i'm not your mouthpiece one two i also don't want to read up on the issue i don't give a [ __ ] yeah yeah you know and that sounds like cruel to people but if we're keeping it in a stack a lot of us don't give a [ __ ] about a lot of topics or a lot of people suffering right people with people see it on tcnn they'll see myanmar burning people with napalm like i'm on the next channel right and it's like you're not a bad person for not taking on the world's suffering all the time right and so i think for folks at home they're concerned with a specific issue so they want you as their mouthpiece almost to speak for them and the injustice that they feel but it's like ruff there's so many issues i don't have the time or the energy to get outraged by everything i want to be able to just chill sometimes and kick back and not have to be like another genocide's happening oh yes the eugers oh ethiopia civil war haiti's having [ __ ] unrest because they just assassinate like brav it's a lot of news and it's not good for your head it's not so when the palestine stuff happened at that time like middle coveted a bunch of [ __ ] was happening like i need a break and [ __ ] got mad so i'm like you know what you wanted a video i'll give it to you i don't give a [ __ ] and i'll tell you what a lot of people feel but they won't say because it's rude but if you're being honest most people don't give a [ __ ] about your issues and it's okay that's what that chamath guy said about the uyghurs do you remember that yeah yeah people got mad at him because they're like yo that's so inconsiderate but not because he made them realize how they felt yes that's why they get angry he pulled a mirror on society pretty much and you realize you feel the same way like i don't want to feel this i don't you want me to talk about palestine i don't even talk about haiti i'm haitian yeah like i'm not gonna well let's talk about haiti let's talk about the situation now let's talk about the haitian army uh there's no there's no haitian army is there not no why not because the united states of america had them removed you're welcome that's why armies can be an inconvenience it's mostly people on a computer or whatever he was saying [Laughter] so what is there like a police force or something there's a police force and is it wild oh wow right now right now like they they shot they shot the president yeah they just shot the president the president they didn't just shoot they assassinated assassinated the country are pretty much gang members really got somehow azul and all their [ __ ] they're all over the place really that's why i was always like a gang over there it's and are they uh at all connected with the uh what is it zoe pound uh zoltan is just miami my it's miami but no connection to haiti i wouldn't know i'm not that deep you're not that deep sure [Laughter] just before a lot of this started popping up we were there for the we were there for the world cup but we were there to do comedy so we were doing like a comedy tour in haiti yeah and um there's a lot of civil unrest because they were raising gas prices and so people are like we can't live on this like we need to be able to move about without raising the gas prices with inflation so like nah we're not not taking that so the craziest thing happened brazil was playing belgium and haitians love the brazilian national team okay so they why is that i don't mean they have haitians have two teams it's brazil and argentina i don't really know why but just the best closest teams maybe yeah okay and so they waited for the game to end brazil lost and the moment brazil lost to belgium they shut down the whole country i'm talking about roadblocks everywhere they smart tires set them on fire nobody's moving well we were still there yeah yeah we weren't like uh but we're smart that's what we should do in ottawa with these people with these people trying to take over our country like that of over [Laughter] okay you could tell the rest of this please continue your story please call jackman right so we're cut there like we're stuck there right there's roblox uh so basically all the gang members are ruling the the the roads they don't want nobody to pass right so every day that we missed our flight already we were with the organizers and every day we spend there we're losing money and this motherfucker's like yo [ __ ] we knew we we were losing money yeah we need to go back yeah like all right every time i go to the to anywhere in the caribbean i buy machetes i go to country i buy machete okay why because a machete is a symbol of of power that's what gave the river that's what did the revolution for the haitians but it's also a tool that built all the caribbean you know what i mean you can chop sugar canes and stuff you like guns you buy guns i like machetes yeah i buy machetes i buy both anyways that's besides the point so i go there machetes at the front of it and we're like all right that [ __ ] back immediately these guys are wild look how excited we get just talking about it there's no way y'all can have it dominican republic be done if y'all had a [ __ ] army that'd be fun [Music] and everybody's looking at me weird and stuff like that whatever it's in my luggage and [ __ ] so this is popping off and i'm like all right we gotta go i i put all the team together like little listen we gotta go right we gotta go we're going now yeah so we made our own little freedom convoy it's like three cars yeah and we need to leave go to the closest hotel which is near the airport that's like three hours away go ahead the funniest thing is like the organizers brought us here for the festival so they brought us to haiti when it was time to leave they were terrified they didn't know what to do they started panicking so our organizers just got lost and it was our first time in haiti so the funniest part about us having to leave that city was the first truck which is the one that's got to deal with all the roadblocks it was our driver delgado shout out to him preach and me so imagine you're a guest in another country [ __ ] pops off and then [ __ ] in the front front yeah yeah that's always put the army in the front but i'm we're there and these [ __ ] not doing anything yeah so they were in front so we get to a roadblock i'm talking about trees cars and everything and stuff i get out the car take out the roadblocks whatever do a passage for all the costs to pass so we go one roadblock two roadblocks three roadblocks we have to discuss with the people i speak creole so i'm all right so i you know you you you you talk you deal with them you want smoke what do you want money smoke uh little girls cause i call me anyways get in i made you look down that was good all right that's good we passed uh at some point uh they don't want to let us let us pass and they're getting very rowdy and that's not really me all right that's it's all the driver the driver gets out of there this [ __ ] the whole trip we were there for two weeks he'd haven't said one word i think he grunts one time he gets out the car and he tells him in creole i'm gonna translate for you he's like yo they got these guys that have machete picks and stuff like that he's like yo you guys have peasant tools well we ride we have guns you haven't you gonna let us pass if you don't let us pass i'm coming back here and i'm shooting all of y'all you said that no he said that i'm in the car and i was in the back like oh [ __ ] if something pops off just you drive off and my my leg was already over there one step ahead of you when he said that [ __ ] in my head he was already dead oh yeah yeah in my head i'm like playing i was like oh [ __ ] i thought preach i said yo the stick's already ready just jump over and then pull weep off was about to pop off this man after he says that [ __ ] these guys all go off into the bushes so that's the second row block after that that we went he went back into let us in and then we get to another roblox you know the roadblock where they were throwing bottles at us for us not to advance yeah and then he gets off the car and my my machete ready in between my leg like that but it's wrapped in paper so i'm like that right i'm like i'm just i'm just like that i got my my sunglasses and i got my head all tied up and you have to understand that tattoos are not something that is very common in haiti all right it's either you have tattoos either because you're american either you're a gang member so my whole sleeve done up my whole leg done up okay i got my short shorts everything's showing i'm just sitting with this in my hands like that and they go off in the woods i'm just talking to abba he's in the back see him like yo this shit's [ __ ] up yeah it's [ __ ] up for real and then alba just goes like is this [ __ ] doing some push-ups and i look over the driver is talking to the chief the gang of this and he's doing push with his shirt off and he's just looking at the dude like we can't hear what he's saying like what the [ __ ] going on they point at us and they go back and like he starts coming back and no that's not it he doesn't push up and there's a guy that comes to the car look everything inside the car and i'm just classification so i'm like i speak creole i'm like yo is i got fed off yeah he runs towards them and i'm like fuck-ups the [ __ ] is going on and they're screaming the driver comes back and i'm like why i'm like he's in the car laughing i'm like why are you laughing and he's like oh cause they thought you had a gun huh yeah it's like oh yeah i got a gun to dread in the car he has a gun i'm like he ain't got no gun you know what if you don't let us pass he's going to come out with his gun and i was like did you use me [Laughter] you you yeah we left we were both because they were scared i had them but it was my machete yeah they saw the butt because the way he had himself under the machete and they thought he had like an 8k or something i thought i had like they thought i had a 12. because it kind of you can kind of mistake it so that ended up working in our favor and my hand was on that and the driver just knew to lie he's just yeah yeah he's just smart he's just poker poker face he's just poker dude the push-up move is brilliant yeah crazy but yeah just how comfortable he felt in that environment you could tell he's used to getting left yeah so i i had to yeah undo barricades and block easy [ __ ] like that i'm cutting a lot of [ __ ] out at some point we had to go to the forest i was leading that [ __ ] with my machetes she was mad in the forest and the other cars were look like were following me and i'm like yo pass there it's better these was a huge puddle anyways it was it was wild and you're getting a lot of [ __ ] out but yeah how long until you got to the airport three well it got three hours before we got to the hotel that we stayed at the hotel two days yeah and then we got at the airport same thing on the way to the airport it was still not safe so i was on in front have you ever been to a place like that you ever been to a place where like there's no clear sense of order like you could kind of feel like you ever been to a really bad neighborhood and you know nobody really patrols around here and like the rules are not kind of set what i'm saying a little bit but not like that though i had the same feeling when i went to some spot parts in new orleans but anyways all this to say there are certain places you go to in the world where you're just like there's no rules here like what happens is just something that happened to you and there's going to be no justice nobody's going to come fix things so you better fend for yourself because if you don't you're [ __ ] that's what it was like for us when we got there it was it was order when we were there and then everything popped off and then everything shifted so even when we got to port-au-prince it was still there's nobody patrolling the streets all the police guards are staying at home or guarding the really important people so if you get shot in the streets like that's just something that happened so it was a weird tension they're gonna drag after five hours they're gonna finally drag your body out yeah cause you know sometimes in some places you're not allowed if someone gets out in the middle of the street you're not allowed to touch your body yeah it's a message oh [ __ ] they want everybody to know yeah yeah yeah so after a while they're gonna drag your body like you're gonna go around oh [ __ ] dead body and eventually they'll drag your body out but you know there's not going to be any that's why i can't go i don't i don't i can't go now my parents won't let me go to haiti i was supposed to go with my my dad we've been planning that [ __ ] but you don't want to go i mean right now they got all the kidnappings yeah that's what i'm saying but it's it's it's like when we left when we left that story that i just told them chatting and everything that was in 2018. that was then now things have deteriorated you know it's unfortunate because the country itself is actually a wonderful place like when we were there before everything popped up had a wicked time people were so gracious like even without much like you could feel a lot of love they were very welcoming we shot our documentary there yeah and everybody was so cool with us even in dangerous parts people were like really accepting so you know i think due to like the outside issue politically and like a lot of the choices made from the leaders like it gets a super bad rap but my experience with the haitian people was just absolutely wonderful so we tell this story but it's not the real reflection of what life is like they're just going through a really bad spell right now but yeah even if all this happened i still want to go back yeah same i want to go back does it change like do you guys feel um guilt because of your success when you see what people are going through like even family members from where you're from where's your family from ethiopia ethiopia like is there any part of you that goes like for example like i have this huge advantage where like yeah my mom came from like very working class background in like scotland but it's not like destitute poverty yeah right so and then like my dad was like new york and that guy so i'm never going like oh i gotta take all this money and i gotta send it back home i gotta do you guys feel that at all or i don't feel that with my that's my people from home and stuff like that i'm grateful for my parents yeah to make the choices that they made yeah to come to canada and stuff like that and and do what they did very very smart with their money and stuff like that so i'm i'm grateful i don't feel like i most of my family is actually in the states or in canada yeah so i don't feel like i have to like if you [ __ ] up there's less like survival survivors guilt or something like that i had an issue i had a little issue during the pandemic with all my co-workers that was working and that couldn't work no more yeah and i felt some type of way i was lying about i'm still lying about my income i'm lying about a bunch of [ __ ] really i'm lying yeah i did yeah yeah just yeah how are you doing i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm all right mm-hmm uh pandemic that [ __ ] blew the [ __ ] off before before the company we're at 235 000 yeah and now with the pandemic people ain't got nothing to do but dude but with my other co-workers that i had bars and just just were working in bars and stuff like that and i couldn't work no more that felt some type of way um yeah for three days not for that it's a weekend weekend it was a long weekend yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah what about you your poor homies yeah the guys you came up with that like or dead broke you know what i'm saying or like struggling financially you don't feel some type of way no no i mean like the homies homies i've always looked out for like my circle i keep like a smaller circle of people that i feel responsible for i have to take care of sure and then i know there's a lot of people especially in entertainment like they're friends with everybody and i'm i'm acquaintances with a lot of people and like i really believe in a lot of people i think they're great but like if you're like the homie homie then i have to make sure you're good mm-hmm and you can't make sure everybody's good no so i yeah i i reserve those positions for the people who are just like [ __ ] i love and ride or die loyal like and that's what they're gonna get for me you know i feel weird about even talking about money still like i still live in the same apartment that i've lived in seven years you know i mean i i don't i don't change too much but i'm also very low-key i don't want people to really know because i feel i i worry that my interactions with the people i enjoy spending time with is gonna change substantially because like you're in a different tax bracket all of a sudden so i think for me i don't know if it's gonna happen but i've seen how money changes a lot of folks or like how it changes the folks around them so for me i've always been a little bit are you talking to people who got some money now some people but like the people who are i'm close with no but you should because they got games all right guys let me take a break for a second these let's be honest okay we got super bowl 56 to gamble on and where you gonna gamble you're gonna gamble with my bookie okay you're gonna get with my boogie because my bookie [ __ ] with us let's just keep it a buck my bookie [ __ ] with us and if they [ __ ] with us that means they [ __ ] with you okay because you [ __ ] with us it goes the long way they're doubling that initial deposit bonus that means you put up the bread they're gonna double it that's more money for you to win it's a super bowl you got 50 chance of winning if you gamble on one of the teams you know what i'm saying if you just gamble on one of the teams winning you got 50 chance of winning mark that makes sense say what because you could tie dumb ass dumb ass sport i want to use another one regular no you can't tie not in a super bowl dove true okay let me tell you something about my bookie you use our promo code flagrant you're gonna get your first deposit bonus match up to a thousand dollars okay all you gotta do is go to mybookie.ag use our promo code flagrant mybookie.gov g gamble win and spend that bread you're welcome you're well welcome real talk real talk you are welcome okay let's get back to the show people who got money got it for a reason sure it's not a lottery right like and these [ __ ] talk to other people who got money sure and they're just sharing game and it's not only like we look at like how like money gets consolidated a much amongst the rich and like part of that is because like these people are just creating these insane businesses and taking advantage of like this capitalist system right ourselves as well but other parts is like they're just sharing game with each other sure they oh this company's about the ipo nobody really knows you should get in now tons of that those conversations going around and like learning about these things like learning about these little like tax hacks all that kind of stuff is super valuable not just for you yeah but for your people that don't have access to that right so i think there's a lot of people who first get money and they're like a little bit insecure to like talk to people who have been established yeah who have it but like it's almost like our duty like when i get like duval hit me the other day because i was talking about this [ __ ] that i found out about like the g wagons and duvall was like man stop giving up game and i'm like man i'm upset yeah i'm upset that i didn't know this [ __ ] nobody told me he goes i ain't tell you because you're going to tell everybody and then there's going to make it harder for us to to access it right but it's like loki i think it's kind of our responsibility to share that i don't disagree on sharing game or tips in that regards i think if the the discussion is different when once you put numbers on it it feels different and i don't know about you but i always what did you mean by that numbers on it like what like if you talk to somebody like oh you're like have you made a million yet ah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's different you get what i'm saying because i know that crab in the bucket mentality i know that and i'm not even mad at it because when you're struggling struggling and you don't know how to make it it's weird to see your mans all of a sudden got more money for like his family and everything yeah you know what i'm saying yeah and so i think that's what i worry that's not your homie though if he's upset that you're winning that's not your own i i i don't disagree but i do know your struggle buddies yeah that's your homies should be excited and then i don't know literally i work with all my best friends like it's crazy so it's just like and i don't those opportunities become plentiful i think i have my friends who i can do that with but i also know some folks who like the struggle is so real and it's hard for them to accept like what you're doing when like they can't even make their next rent you get what i'm saying it's yeah and like also like i want to be able to help but how do i do that in a productive way i can't just throw money on my partner because like sometimes that's just not enough right and you also don't want to make somebody dependent their pride so it's a hard thing to manage i think for me and money like i'm not really great with it in terms of like how to discuss with you i'm great at keeping it i'm great at like saving it or investing that's fine but in terms of like sharing that idea and like i just still feel a great insecurity around me i'm fine yeah i talk with people that got money i discuss yeah with it all people that know how to manage money yeah like my mom is i'm grateful to have a mom that worked in a bank oh that's she was managing uh wallets and stuff like that that's how i talked to my mom or different things or yeah other people that i know that they got something going on tips and [ __ ] so i was very grateful and privileged to have that around me yeah i do talk about it that's luckily with people who understand it just talking about poor people it's not it's not rewarding you know what i'm saying when i go to the bank i go to the bank you know what i'm saying and like the guy the guy's like hey we want to show you some new accounts i was like why i was like well as our high value client i said high value yeah hi sir what can i help you with yeah this and that and then the third show up in my account like one moment and then someone else comes next to her yeah sir the [ __ ] is you yeah yeah no that's not stepping my dad yeah you start getting business cards after that's kind of weird call me every time you want [Laughter] you just pull up to the bank just to check the account that's it just you go to the hottest teller can you just tell me how much i got yep you see that number okay [Laughter] but no that is lucky though man like uh my parents didn't like they weren't uh savvy and they they made some good decisions like they purchased real estate because they didn't really understand like investment and that kind of stuff they just their family didn't understand it it wasn't like passed down like i have friends that that type of wisdom is just passed down from generation generation like they understand investing and all these other things that like i just don't know right and uh so any time that i get to talk to these people i i just remove all ego and i'm like yeah please give me advice yeah what is sure i i wasn't learned i didn't learn this stuff and i would love my kids too yeah because i'm starting to do it now in my 30s what if my kid can do it yeah when he's 24. yeah like [ __ ] you got a decade of and that's the thing they don't even interest to a crew they don't teach you that of course i'll be i'll keep it a stack my family was super dysfunctional but there's one thing that mom taught me that i'm so grateful because even when she was absent a lot like she always said like learn to save your money she really like pushed that on me and to the point like it terrified me to be in debt yeah she scared the [ __ ] out of me with that yeah but the benefit of that is like that's one of the reasons i'm here today is like after i left the military i'd saved up enough money to do the artist's lifestyle for like three four years so even though i was doing gigs here and there i was like slowly going into my savings to be able to sustain that but had i not learned those lessons then i wouldn't be here so the knowledge you get from the people above you yeah is paramount so for me obviously going into the next generation for my kids i want to make sure that they have that set up but also i want to do community initiatives where we're based on a lot of this information that seems hard to get when it's really not yeah you just need to hear it you just need to hear him to really understand it so yeah i always tell my mom like yo you know i made a lot of money i'm like you get a cut because you earned it yeah i mean yeah she did real time it feels good how how much fun is it to tell your mom yeah how much you made well you but you saw me when i told her no at the show that's the first time she knew i did comedy what yeah when he put yeah when he told his mom to come he told his brother i didn't know that he told me someone i brought up on stage okay so yeah set the stage because these people don't know the show so we did it just for last show and there was like 15 000 people who were in attendance and what about like three years in the game at that point in terms of doing stand-up specifically by the new youtuber it was an outdoor show the entire i mean it looked like the president was getting put into office like it was the great lawn it was it was unbelievable yeah yeah yeah yeah we'll talk about bombed so the show's going on and i wanted two weeks out i'm like i should invite my mom but i didn't know how to tell her so i didn't and so i'm like listen i'm graduating from university she didn't even know i was going to school she's like you're going to school i'm like yeah because immigrant families like there's a weird thing with doing the arts where they're just like what are you doing this is a waste of time and it makes sense though like yes there's all this judgment for that but it's like imagine you just made it to america and you're giving your kids all this opportunity to go be a [ __ ] lawyer doctor or anything they're like i want to be a clown i risk everything so you could go [ __ ] tell your jokes yeah 100 not only was a high school dropout but from a muslim family who joined the military during the iraq war i was disowned for a couple years yeah so yeah did you say you were stoned for a couple years which side were you fighting for [Laughter] yeah so my mom i just i didn't feel comfortable telling her anything until it was solid but even when it became solid i just had a hard time like opening that door i would just hand her a check every night how did you get that i'm like don't worry about it yeah i thought it was drugs or something she didn't understand but i was like don't worry about it with your face for a show so you know i said i wanted to tell her but i just didn't know how i'm like let me just go big you know i'm gonna just bring her i asked my brother to help me out i told her i was going to school and it's graduated i want you to be at my graduate she brought flowers and everything and so she comes backstage she's confused you know she can't see the front stage but you hear all the noise she's like you guys doing outdoor graduation i'm like yeah mom's gonna be awesome it's [ __ ] and then i just uh at the one point during the show just before you came up i brought my mom up on and i'm like oh this is what i do mom and she goes oh she panics because she's never seen so many people and she doesn't know how to handle the stage thing yeah um but that was the first time um we're gonna can you bring up the video just to set the stage for everybody at home i have a video of me walking on stage so they can see what this [ __ ] thing looked like i mean this is insane yeah yeah that's crazy that we talked about she was she was beaming in her face yeah that's good um when i went backstage after that i saw her was looking at the screen looking at you tell jokes and people were laughing yeah she hey she hey that i was like oh man that is that's right because because it isn't that they don't want you to do the thing in the arts yeah they just want you to be successful that's it and it is absolutely it's like they risked everything but it's like the chances of being successful in this are like the chances of being successful for them back home yes so they're like why the [ __ ] did i come over here yeah like you have security you can access it but the second they see that it works yeah yeah they just want to know you're okay i didn't yeah there you go let me see let me see no no no no no no no it's the next one yeah yeah yeah there you go oh god there you go yeah god damn oh dude look at it it's a block yo you can't see it but there's screens over there there's [Music] 50 minutes before the show there was not that many people right yeah 30 minutes before the show there was not that many people my mom was like okay yeah there's a lot of there's like about 5 000 people in front of them like oh yeah there's a nice little crowd i don't know what happened at 8 45 15 minutes before the show oh it's starting packing she was like oh okay that's what he does does wow that's what he understood and that's where my impostor syndrome kicked out chopped no it dropped oh you felt justified it was like it's real comedy and i've been uh i've been an opener from my quad for a while now and then when that happened after that shot was like i think i'm good i think that's what i do yeah i think after that show i was like okay i think i think we got something here yeah yeah [ __ ] up show that's funny because you you you guys put out a video saying like i don't know if it's going to be a thousand people or if it's gonna be 15 000. yeah what do you say a thousand i mean i had no clue i couldn't fathom that it would be that big yeah you guys weren't even that big back then no we weren't but we were actually big in the city but not outside that's why they booked us guys at the beginning we were just doing things in the city so we had a huge fan base there okay that makes sense but i was like yeah i mean what blue yeah that thing blew up and and it was interesting moment for me because you can't conceptualize being success like for me i couldn't conceptualize being successful yeah i just did the work every day and i'm like if it grows that's cool yeah but when you see a crowd like that yeah it's crazy that's stuff you see from like rock stars you get what i'm saying that [ __ ] that that's like you see a c i've never done a comedy show like that ever again yeah maybe in the future but you know when you got civil city it's a different feeling when you see a crowd like a concert crowd this is what musicians feel that was nuts yeah i mean it was just like 10 minutes before the show went in the backstage right and i'm just there focusing my [ __ ] and he probably just went to see the crowd stack up and he goes back to the backstage and he's like so who's this for and i'm like they came to see us yeah but it sounded so rude yeah eyes right yeah sorry about that did you when was your first moment like that where was your first moment where you saw a scene and you were like okay hmm that's a great question where i saw an amount of people that made me feel that way maybe there's like maybe it's not even the amount of people well is there a moment where you're like this this is it not that it was it was two that kind of like crept on one another because i thought it was serendipitous at first and then i realized it was because of something i put out okay and it was just after i released the first uh my first special on youtube i had sold out a club and i thought it was just lucky and i was like oh maybe i would have sold that club out and then the next weekend i sold out another club and i was like wait i was like wait a minute is that because of the special and i remember asking the club what's going on yeah people have been saying that they watch you on youtube and i'm like really yeah like this is before youtube was even like a thing there was russell peters of course don't get me wrong but like i didn't realize that that would actually translate and then the next club i sold out and i and it was those three events where i go oh [ __ ] something's happening right now like whoa it's [ __ ] happening and how exciting is that because it's so interesting like like you said like views on youtube are awesome and it's great but like there is a transformative experience when you walk in front of the people when the people see those view those videos and then they go i'm going to leave the house for you yeah that [ __ ] hits different differences there was a moment where when we started do comedy we did little shows like 60 people yeah yeah 60 people and everything and then there's a video that that got out and got really popular in montreal and we had a show two weeks after and i came out i went to apple and i was like bro we have to cancel the show he's like what the [ __ ] are you talking about we have to cancel i don't want to refuse people at the door like we're not canceling we have to cancel the show we have to we have to get a bit of bigger venue we can't because it was too many it was it was too small it was gonna i didn't want to refuse that many people yeah let's do this [ __ ] right let's have and that was like a pre cursor to all of this but yeah i remember and i was always careful you guys remember the clip that really went yeah it was a it was a it was a very specific montreal thing yeah that you guys were talking about joking about exactly we did like a comedic video on like a like a racial issue that happened in the city and it blew up on on facebook that's when we were starting facebook so it was a different time but i remember even early like i was terrified of taking on something too big too early i know like even though we had a thousand people who could buy tickets i'm not ready for a thousand feet yeah you know what i'm saying i constantly doubted myself that that whole process we're not ready and then we jump from like 200 to 15 000. it's like but the money was so good i couldn't say no well they put in the numbers like ah man that's the listen when you never get more than a thousand dollars for a show yeah yeah big big were you struggling a thousand dollars for doing a 15-minute performance you'll take that right right and you know you get them once every like six months yeah can you do open mics for twenty five bucks whatever once every year so i remember watching that negotiating table and i said please let me let me take care of negotiating so they're like yeah so we sent you guys a contract what did you think and i'm like yeah we understand listen we'll come back to you guys with the counteroffer but we appreciate it so i sent them the number i'll i'll just say it was thirty thousand dollars yeah and then we come in the second time and we walk in we sit down and they're like okay listen we learned over the contract we like a lot of what you guys do we'll accept it and i swear to god i like kicked preach yeah and i went yeah because when you've never made something like real money from from something you built like a like a salary paycheck you know what i'm saying yeah you're just like [ __ ] is this real yeah yeah is this real yeah right because i just threw the number out there because i'm like i think we i was expected to negotiate down actually no they didn't negotiate down the first year we said 30 they said 24 yeah but i was like [ __ ] is amazing yeah what yes i couldn't believe it i couldn't believe the number like this guy gets having it's just like it was such a big number and i realized like it was the first time like damn [ __ ] they just really [ __ ] with us yeah don't pay for our [ __ ] because you don't believe anybody would pay that kind of money no and then you start doing brand deals later and you realize like oh this money is everywhere to be yeah but initially the first time why i i went home i didn't tell nobody because at the time i still felt like a little weird but i just remember thinking like oh this is something i think i think floyd mayweather said like the first hundred thousand he made was way more impactful than 100 million yes and it's because that number for like you guys are saying it's like he couldn't fathom a hundred thousand dollars yeah where he came from yeah a hundred thousand dollars doesn't make sense it doesn't make sense and it gets normalized i guess as you make it but that first time bro oh that first time i i still can't spend past the salary that i've always had my whole life like i'm just used to like you're like you're like jay leno i just i i just can't fathom be like okay i make this much i can't imagine spending that kind of money yeah so for me it's still like a huge discomfort i feel with the whole thing um but i think i always said this if i could get a wife you'll get over it women get comfy they get used to [Laughter] because she had my back for all those years you know she's been working for a bang for like you got to reward that yeah yes i'm like [ __ ] right or die yeah yeah yeah because he was struggling that was weird because now in a month you make what you made in your whole life that was a different thing yeah that doesn't make sense to me still yeah and i'll see like youtube's numbers yeah sometimes i buy some [ __ ] and my girl's gonna be like can we afford it i'm like yeah no don't get her two cups no no no i don't know i don't know i don't know if we can't afford it this month i don't know let me talk to abba see how we're doing see how many more videos we're going to make but i don't know you let your wife see all the books yeah yeah you don't get worried since you like grew up poor or whatever no she didn't grow poor [Laughter] i don't want to create a barrier right there like makes sense right i think that if if you feel like you have to create a barrier right there there's already some distrust you mean hiding yeah like hiding that kind of stuff no see this is why fresher fit came through call them a simple didn't do a primo no prenup i'm not mad at it did you do a preena i'm not married technically but oh i definitely would but you can't though i can't no because you met her before you had the money right so if you do it it's unethical yeah yes it is yeah and she was shooting with you in the gym you got to give her a cut no i don't well it depends what that cut is you get that i don't know if the contract is if you're with me you with me if you're not you're not yeah the reason why i say that is because if she supported you when you was broke and she was paying the bills now when you made some money you can't cut her out you get what i'm saying 100 no no i agree with you i think that makes a lot of sense that's what you're saying but i just think that like the the you know the 50 50 you know you know if i'm shooting you rebounding that's like i'm gonna cut her out how much you pay the rebounder you know what i'm saying like how much you paid a rebounder if you're in the gym shooting yeah did kobe give 50 to the rebounder yo exactly thank you if we're using the shooting gym analogy now i i do believe that they deserve something and i think that getting that amount yeah provides a security but that's part of the prenup though or you you could do it in the prenup or you just do nothing and time will tell if i made the right decision or the wrong one right you know what i mean and tom will also tell if i get a poster no but uh but yeah i don't know i feel like if you feel any economic distrust with the person you're about to spend the rest of your life with yeah that's a problem that's a sign of concern and i don't think you should get married in the first place i'm not mad at that now if you are somebody that has if you're like [ __ ] bezos or something like that and you've got like stupid stupid stupid money even if you feel no economic concern at all you're gonna because you could potentially be uh a mark i don't know if bazel's that word i feel like you just pay somebody to kill the [ __ ] yo real talk yes but also like if you're not having kids like what's the point yeah like you don't need to get remarried yeah like if you if you're having kids like that's another thing i think like if you bring kids into the picture bro like and you're raising my kids what am i gonna do leave you broke that's some loser [ __ ] though that's some loser [ __ ] [ __ ] i'm gonna have my kids actually low key is like uh-huh daddy's house is fire oh watch your mom's house like that that's crazy it was cold but like that is some loser [ __ ] in my opinion right yeah so like yeah if once once they give you kids man it's like they they gotta get it that's how i feel they gotta get a little something they gotta get a lot of something yeah i think i understand they gotta get a lot i don't know i understand the general feel a lot of dudes like because they've seen the stories of what happens in family courts or in divorce courts and they've seen the dudes being broken by a lot of understanding the fear that a lot of people have yeah and i think some of it's very very very valid it is valid like nobody can look at that insecure guys uh beta whatever like you insult no i think like yeah it is it is a very difficult thing when you hear a story about a dude who gets cheated on the [ __ ] moves in with the eunuch and then he kicks you out of your own house you still pay half your [ __ ] yeah keeps the kids like damn is this fair like that's a terrifying thing because as dudes if we're going to make that and we're going to do that trust to find out it can get flipped on us because you felt some type of way and that's mad i told i told my wife i'll never pay uh what does that [ __ ] cost alimony i said i'll never pay out i'll go to jail before i pay almost i would gladly go to prison before i pay you to [ __ ] someone else like if i'm paying you it's my [ __ ] you know what i'm being like like let's just keep it good no alimony is not for the kids yo my kids are always going to get support you don't even need to ask for that girl yeah that's facts yeah but the alimony goes to well you could separate it but like the payment for the house that the kids are in are you a lawyer i think obviously if she like remarries say again if she remarries you don't pay out yeah but then you know that women not going because that dude also wants some nice little check coming in yeah that's crazy bro that's crazy so what's the rule is the person that is that's making the most money right who coughs up the alarm hell yeah britney spears was coughing up alimony and [ __ ] yeah which is wild why why is it wild nah what do you mean that's equality no that's equality if the girl pays it the girl pays it yeah no if it's a [ __ ] up system like we understand that alimony is [ __ ] up but if that's what we're doing okay that's what we're doing if the lady makes more money then you pay alimony just pay child support you guys have kids together take care of the kids you should get a [ __ ] job disagree in this regard all right guys we're gonna take a break for a second because valentine's day is coming up and that dick needs to look beautiful how are you gonna make your dick look beautiful you're gonna trim them [ __ ] pubes okay no girl in history has ever enjoyed full bush okay getting in her teeth getting in her throat just hairs on your shaft

oftentimes a demand from one of the partners to either leave their job leave their careers take more of the home stuff so they're sacrificing a lot of their potential future earnings by staying at home more often to support their marriage in their way while you're making your income at advancing your career so it doesn't make sense that in a divorce you're telling them [ __ ] good luck well i have to sacrifice seven years of my work life i think that i think that makes 100 sense if you're if you're not working so you can take care of the kids if you're not working so you could just relax at home that's your choice like you could have kept working nobody said you i'm going to work [ __ ] you doing all day right like you're allowed but if you that's why i say kids changes the game kids you got to make sure they're taken care of because they are sacrificing their career they are sacrificing their life and they deserve to be protected for that sacrifice right so if you have kids you're good okay like we you are good alimony she gives you kids nope a lot of child support and you could call that [ __ ] alimony but i'm calling that [ __ ] child support hey them kids are gonna be supportive and you're going to be supportive supporting them kids but i'm not paying you no [ __ ] help man all feelings no effects that's it not a 100 like if we have kids you're going to get taken care of no matter what okay and what i mean by that is like you won't even need alimony because you're going to get a percentage of what i have okay like alimony is just ridiculous if you're just getting a [ __ ] chunk i agree man you need more than the you need more than the chunk yeah that's crazy bro it's like it's like dr dre divorces his wife his wife gets 100 million and she's like but i also need you to give me 50 000 a month for what she said shopping bro she's doing shopping she wasn't even trying no does that mean i don't know if it's delusion or when you get a certain point rich you get all f i don't know what it is let me tell you what it is cause it's in my [ __ ] yeah please please do it as a full italian you need so much money to suck other deals i could see myself going to town italy and then like going to a pizza shop i'm like what's this sauce sauce all this talk about alimony and child support man shout out to all the poor people watching at home man people watching at home it just worked out there i got worried about that yeah that's crazy all right what y'all think about uh jeff bezos did you hear about this [ __ ] the boat the boat yeah the boat is actually quite interesting because he's being positioned like he's this you know like bond villain he's basically to put it in perspective he had this uh basically the headline is like jeff bezos is having a bridge uh deconstructed to move his boat through historic bridge historic bridge right uh yeah new bridge is getting no love yeah don't be like a 2 000 bridge [ __ ] pronouns and [ __ ] you know real talk so you have any bridge getting deconstructed yeah basically so that the the boat can pass through right and i saw the headline in the store and i'm like man this should sound super fishy because one why would anybody be on a [ __ ] yacht in the netherlands in february like that's just not yacht weather and then i found out that the company that's building the yacht is in the netherlands they agreed to build it you know exactly how big that [ __ ] yacht was supposed to be and you knew that it wasn't gonna pass through that bridge so then he said i'll pay for the bridge to be taken down and be put back up the guy's paying 450 million for the boat plus i'm sure millions to take down the bridge and put it back up how is anybody angry at this they've deconstructed the bridge like three or four times in the past see these [ __ ] that's the [ __ ] that they do so if they've been doing it and then i think they made a declaration about 2018 they're like we'll never do it again or something like all these super yachts are made in the netherlands like the whole town gets employed from it like he's injecting half a billion dollars into the economy by the way that historic bridge i'm sure when they rebuild it it's probably safer than it was uh one hundred percent and probably let the nazis use that [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] that probably [ __ ] nazis on that bridge bridge yeah the freedom convoy passing through that well wait a minute i think we're making different arguments no but for real that's that that's the bridge uh tom hanks was shooting his pistol at them you [Laughter] you're chris hanson but for muslims [Music] we hate rich [ __ ] that's what it is they use their will yeah they think it's wrong they use their wells and try to throw it around to bully little people and governments who's he bullying that can't use the bridge and they're touching something employed by it no i know you know this but like we make it look like he's he's uh actually you know what this is just white people being inconvenienced yep this is white karen's bro this is just karen's being karen's man yo your bridge is down figure it out [ __ ] you know what i'm saying just get you can't swim do we even know if the dutch people were even mad or it was someone else that heard the story and yeah this is americans are you doing oh foreign god like yeah yeah who does that you're american seriously yeah [ __ ] like shut up shut your [ __ ] mouth why are you so upset shut your worm out though i remember seeing the headline and i saw the picture of like jeff on a yacht he's like in his shorts with his girl mm-hmm i didn't really care about the story but i just thought like do rich [ __ ] take steroids yes yeah he probably has a steel red company yeah yeah he he's looking yolks i'm not only gonna take that [ __ ] i'm gonna make profit off of that hundred percent i just yeah there's something weird about that like you're super rich and you're managing these big companies and you've got time to stay in like super great shape that that no no it's not even stay in great shape they want to live forever yeah because if you're that rich and life is that good wouldn't you want to stretch that [ __ ] out yeah okay basil says go to space too so you've got to be in decent shape to go to space real time i just assume like once you get past a certain income bracket like you just become a lizardman everything is easy sailing yeah what do you mean a lizard man yeah you don't know about like the lizards are we going red pillions no the reptilians are the reptile people no talk to me you never seen the picture of the queen we like the scales on her face that should trip me up for days you know what do you really believe that the the elites are reptiles i don't give a [ __ ] you believe it a little bit i'm not gonna french i don't really [ __ ] with conspiracies too much son here we go [Music] you believe that there are reptiles being called i mean how does she live this long hold up hold up liz is not the one that go back into an egg and then come back out the [ __ ] [Music] some my bad guys that's pokemon [ __ ] [ __ ] nerd i just think when you get that wrench like this hey man i might go first [ __ ] go back into an edge well hold up when you guys hear about like the rothlist child you know [ __ ] are immortal no no no immortal have you guys ever seen him when somebody says i'm not in conspiracies my ears perk up my eyes cross over i'm elizabeth this [ __ ] talk about going back into it now give me some give me some conspiracy because i know you're all on youtube let's go i'm not that deep into it have you looked into the fed no i don't know about that what are we talking about going back into an egg bro you're not that's a little crazy no no i thought lizards that's like their their life but it doesn't matter we go get off this one i look crazy yeah that's why i feel like if rogan just makes a couple more hundred million it's good what he can turn into a lizard like this cooker what do you mean my assumption was this i feel like once everybody makes a billion they just change like personality-wise into a list like at least that's how it appears online so i just figured like they get a membership kind of thing ah to the club yeah you get an invitation because okay here here's the thought process right yeah if i form another place in the galaxy yeah i or the universe yeah and i want to take over earth yeah right the easiest way is to co-op the super rich you feel me yeah and what do you promise them eternal life oh oh i like this right right but it was what if it's what if it's give us some feelings no facts so we can really like this is the perfect inspiration for feelings no facts mark hit us with some feelings so fast because we're on it right now remember we're going red pill feelings no facts okay feelings no facts at all okay no facts just feelings all right so there was a girl that claimed that she was uh raped in the metaverse jesus christ what you just said feelings bro jesus [Applause] gang rapes not just all right all right so wait there's this netflix documentary called the tinder swindler oh yes we were talking about this earlier yeah yeah that's my dude okay i don't know anything about it okay no basically this guy went on tinder and defrauded women that he met he's out there in europe thousands hundreds of millions millions millions so here's what's interesting just in context so it's basically this uh netflix dr marital right now of course none of us have seen it but we're going to talk about it and basically what he did is he's a dude in europe and he was basically dating these girls and getting like borrowing money from these girls to just ball out for other girls yeah so he had like like a like a bernie madoff little situation going where he's just taken from this girl and then taking private jets with that girl and just keep keep running what i think is so funny about it is uh uh when there's a story of a man who takes advantage of women and uses them for their money right it gets a documentary right like that is how shocking this is that netflix is like we need to print this story and let everybody know who this is yeah when you could make the argument that this is a common practice yeah out there in the world for uh some ladies to gold dig on rich dudes he's just having this city girl moment i'm not mad at him it's just like it's just that's the dude no no no no no i'm gonna say this so i i i this is an old story this happened like 2015 so i was on youtube watching like videos about this and the funny thing that had me rolling was these women who were like i was convinced he was a rich man so i just i gave him fifty thousand dollars he took me on a yacht they took me on a plane so i tried the wording of that [ __ ] yeah i was convinced he was a rich man right and he's like he hit me up one day and he's like listen i'm having issues with my credit card if you can just front me the money i'll be down to pick you up my jet next week but i just need to pause and the girl's like i had no reason not to believe him he was so charming and elegant yeah he the facade he put on the clothes he wears the hotel the limousines he used the scam was genius yeah but it's just something funny about these girls thinking they found themselves a big fish and they're like i'm settled for life and then carpet came out underneath them the the look on their face when they found out crazy beautiful wow they beautiful because you never hear about it so it's just kind of like it's a nice change of pace you feel me yeah yeah i enjoyed it it's a change it's just crazy that he did to me what i wanted to do to him shut up shut her mouth but yeah this guy's a master swindler he did stuff in israel went to jail for it and then after he got out went to europe started defrauding all these women his commitment to the game is what i'm impressed by i mean you have to understand he's rolling with high stakes and if you're pulling it off in israel eddie was doing and got caught he's like that's the nba and then he's going to finland at the sixth grade basketball court at that point like easy it's easy easy that's funny shout out to him what's the guy's name do we know his minion oh that's right simon leviev was like the main name that they use in the documentary but his name shimon julient yeah some last name i can't pronounce some [ __ ] like that and did you watch the documentary yeah last night was it crazy or what i put it at 1.5 speed because it was so good that i was like i need to know what happens it's so good yeah did they show the girls were they yeah there's three girls that they showed they were hot yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah they're also they were like mid 30s like they were professionals like mid 30s so that was like seven years ago so that you know white women age like bread so they don't look good now that's how they interviewed them yeah yeah what type of bread you're seeing mcdonald's uh wonderful yeah wonder bread all right fair enough wonderful i think age is good that just stays looking like wonder bread forever does it yeah no i wonder brady getting [ __ ] rotten bro no it just dries out it's all processed you just used to wonder bread [ __ ] yeah those women were smoking like you watched old videos of them they were hot you had to go for women like who are about to hit their peak and like peter out because they had money in the bank he couldn't go for 20 year olds so he's picking young like professionals that were established had good careers very smart oh that's smart because you saw the way those women dressed they were dressing classy right kids they asked for it what you're saying they're asking for a trust i'm like not the metaverse right oh sorry dude i'm sorry i did my bad imagine being in the meta verse and being raped by a dude who sounds like [ __ ] can you imagine staying there for the other guys just take off the [ __ ] oculus right i'm not going front i'm ready for like virtual reality sex what do you mean i mean i've tried virtual reality stuff and i'm like i wouldn't mind because you know they're already doing surgeries where they some [ __ ] puts his hand in a glove and he's in like united states and there's somebody in like india who needs a heart transplant and the surgeon's doing it remotely [ __ ] i know that i'm sorry so imagine there's just some girl in [ __ ] ukraine and you're like you want a hand job from her she puts her hand in a glove you put your [ __ ] in the pocket [ __ ] you feel me yeah all right man y'all look at the promises let him go let him go this is good i like when you're getting passionate about your things i'm just saying wouldn't that be crazy like you could do long distance it would change long distance forever yeah you can't [ __ ] a girl but you can yeah but you can give her bigger titties you can like update that [ __ ] but here's the thing how do you know that it's a girl exactly and how do you not know this just preach [ __ ] around with you in the next room i would like i bet this dude let me jerk his ass off this dumb [ __ ] hey hey hey yo don't you just [ __ ] up and actually speak in your voice he's just like shut your [ __ ] mouth that virtual reality sex is going to be crazy because a lot of dude's going to get a catfish and they're not going to care no and that's the thing that's going to be interesting like that's what i'm curious about the metaverse do we really start all right do we really start letting people identify however they want to identify when you're getting ahead from some fine girl right it actually is a dude right in albuquerque right but his avatar is super fine right are you gonna go well that he identifies as that i got i got him from a girl right right now do we accept people identifying whoever they want when it benefits us when we're getting our dicks up from the people we want yeah that's that's the key that's the way yeah that's the way i feel about trans people like if you didn't know and you busted like what's the issue yeah don't ask don't tell right so yeah yeah yeah stop talking wait a couple of years is that what is that what your message is wait a couple years and you're gonna be good all right so wait so i mean i had i had this whole joke about that it's like there's no issue once they're hot that is true people don't go for it bro yo you don't want a newly scooped out [ __ ] bro bro you ever see you don't want a newly scooped outfit come on dog you telling me you don't want that new [ __ ] we could move right along with the next one i'm just saying bro that you got you could buy some old house yeah you know have you seen images of a new development they gotta do a pin my ride but for training i like my [ __ ] like my steak aged for 18 years that's how i won that's the cheap one 17 17 17. i went on a date with a young woman the other day and i don't know what happened but like we're hitting 31 but it's like how old 22 okay you went out with a 22 year old yay no like i don't know if you had this happen but like when you start like trying to hang around because age doesn't hit you until you get a like oh i'm old moment you feel me yeah so i'm like sitting down she's talking like something about young people they just talk with so much certainty about [ __ ] they don't know nothing about what did you want [ __ ] what did you want to tell her say it i didn't say nothing i i was just like i wanted to say shut up you know what i mean like shush [Applause] but she was like trying to screw me on like politics and geopolitics and like understanding afghanistan what was she saying she didn't know what she was talking about how do you know i know because i know less i know more a little bit more than her but i also know i don't know enough yeah like like one thing that like a just

the tick tock too run by 19 year every once in a while actually no i don't even think i'm signed into my tic toc if i'm being honest don't root it for the fans cut that [ __ ] out hey guys it is what it is enjoy the content okay uh give us another one all right they asked t-pain what he thought about black history month okay and this is what he had to say all right actually the question's more specific he said how should white people celebrate black history month any insight all right for how white people can can properly celebrate black history month the right way um stop celebrating i don't think we celebrate black history month i think we should just have a history i think it should we don't they overshot it we don't want our own [ __ ] he's separating us again we want to be part of history not just one month of it so yeah that's what he said i don't think we should celebrate black history month this should just be history i didn't know bane had an opinion on that what do you think he sounds like me with that stake line just before like yeah yeah i think my experience in preachers experience a bit like especially mine i grew up a large part of my life in ethiopia so even like identifying as black was a bit of a weird thing because i just identified as like ethiopian right my blackness was never really something i considered because i was everybody's norm yeah right so it wasn't until i immigrated to north america that i understood what like the color of my skin meant within a greater context of a society yeah so i think then i became more sensitive to like okay that's why black folks have this initiative or they have this going on like i understand the need for for something like this yeah so i don't get too mad at it i think for me it's like i've heard this rhetoric it's nothing you hear this like every year pretty much my personal take on is like if if black folks aren't bothered if i can't see any negative then i'm cool with it i i don't know why it's like uh i don't know why people get so up in arms of being bothered by like you could teach it everybody's like yeah you can teach it every year and you could also highlight it this year in this specific month doesn't mean you have to stop learning about it later on so that's my thoughts on it i mean if it can just prevent people to be in my position where i'm in a whole i mean sorry i'm in the all-white elementary school and then they talk about slavery and everybody turns around i'm the only black kid in the [ __ ] room it's like they're not talking about history they talk about me ah is that what happened [ __ ] i don't know i wasn't there yeah it's like so if they can have a month whenever they talk about black history or black people i always talk about they always talk about slavery can we talk about other people and everything else like the b4 like if it can prevent that from happening not just the tragic moment it's just like something with movies oh that's a good movie what's that movie about you know slaves yeah you can't exactly yeah so if we could highlight the good that's cool because we don't know we don't get highlighted that's pretty much it as a comic you know what it is corny though every time black history month i could be putting on all kinds of lines it's christmas yo if you want to make some extra money it's kind of cool but like i be getting booked on all kinds of crazy shows i'm like but it's oh it's this month again and the same thing my paycheck also look a little bit different and the same venues a couple months before like oh we already have a black comic book yeah you know what's weird about that especially comedy is like yeah february you get all the shine you want but i remember like i don't know like comedy is weird because i'll ask comedy clubs like yeah why is the lineup like this and i've heard so many club owners say like i don't want to have more than one black comic on the lineup they've just said that oh yeah yeah yeah it's just in canada no how about i tell you whatever we had here they have had here as well maybe just a couple of years back but i've heard that i've heard that enough times and even speak the older comics they'd hear stuff like that but i never heard that in french comedy though because they don't want to turn into an ethnic knight in english comedy i heard that yeah but in french comedy i don't hear that interesting what i heard though is like oh yeah maybe some people don't get accepted in um comedy school which is the concert that they have in quebec yeah and all this you think it's too h to ethnic but that's that happened to one of my buddies but right better than that yeah that's interesting they're just so like blatantly honest about it i mean i'm sure it's the same thing here in the states for some life i think that they would do it but they just wouldn't say it like that yeah there's almost a comfort in saying it like that because now you know it's not your comedy that's [ __ ] up it's their racism yeah whereas before that they'll just be like uh sorry you're not funny enough and now you got to walk around going but i'm funnier than these [ __ ] why are they saying i'm not funny enough yeah i think it's same outcome but at least you know it's not something you can control i notice when rich people get comfortable yeah they start talking crazy like re really yeah because like nothing can affect if they if they really feel like nothing can affect them they'll just say what they're thinking they might like how many of those nfl orders amongst other nfl owners say the wildest things about athletes right like you remember that prison comment that that one uh nfl owner said he said we have the inmates running the the asylum the asylum or whatever yeah and that sounds crazy imagine what they're saying when you nod around with the newspapers when they're just talking to staff that's why when these nfl coaches come out and they say oh this owner said this or this owner said that or they told me like yeah i don't want too many black players i want to bounce back i believe it yeah i don't think a coach has ever said i don't want too many black players no no i don't think it's ever happened in the history of integrated i bet you though yeah before the integration of black players became super common there's definitely coaches or owners who would have liked to see a lot of white flo players oh i mean before like it was the winning ticket to get black folks utah jazz has still got white people it's like i think that there's by design here right it's like the only team that's got multiple white people right yeah so like something's going on we have always had that and for the canadians kind of have that same thing where they absolutely want the coach to speak french yeah but they absolutely want the [ __ ] coach to be happy he's friends she's not a quebecker he's not they're really adamant about that that language [ __ ] is weird so they'd rather have a shittier coach yeah but he speaks french but he's basically players too right like they want all the players we have same thing yeah see i don't i don't respect that yeah because you're just not competitive enough like let's let's win you should want to win identity is more important than winning because for them but maintaining their identity is a win i'm serious that is yeah how about this how many times you heard someone say i don't care how much money my kid's partner makes i just want them to be the same culture for them the identity is more important than the quality of the partner in quebec you're quebec first canada second 100 yeah 100 yeah akash will sit here and tell you right like he had to get a brown girl and his parents probably wanted that form he could have got like hypothetical i don't know his wife i'm not saying anything like that but like let's say if there was like a woman that much kinder much about whatever yeah his parents still wouldn't want him to go with the brown girl because identity matters more interesting yeah it's like that identity or culture that's just a form of different identity which is right right your race your culture your income status whatever it is those are just different forms of identity yeah yeah i guess that makes sense [ __ ] well here's okay feel there's no facts maybe we talk about aquafina then yeah so like aquafina is this actress you've seen her in uh shang chi and a bunch of other movies crazy rich asians and she keeps on getting criticized for using a black scent she's an asian actress she's half korean half chinese a friend of mine we did you know back in the day girl code i think it was together but um and she just keeps on getting criticized for using this black scent and uh well first of all what do you guys think about it is it her accent so here's the thing when you're from new york she's from new york she's from queens so it's like what are we talking about like but you know see that's the thing that maybe you guys understand as like uh canadians but black people are from canada because like you guys have an accent from your part of canada yeah i understand like you all sound like you're from quebec okay it's different than when you're from toronto and the toronto accent just popped up like a year ago like these [ __ ] sound like they were from new york five years ago and now all of a sudden a ting ting ting what's up everything is king king right like yeah you're a waste man and i get it you're a defensive i love toronto but it feels like they're adopting an identity like if you listen to tory lanez talk he talks he's from new york where do you find my guy every [Music] [Applause] but i think that they're adopting identity that are from the influential cultures that are in the city right and that's what we all do right so if you grow up in new york yes you're going to code switch i'm going to speak one way around my parents and one way around my friends yeah and i think that we all do that the crazy thing about her and why i always defend her is it's like what accent you want her to have yo she got to have an asian accent is that what you want or you she got to talk white what you're basically saying is hey you gotta talk white and the reality is she grew up in queens maybe grew up with more black folk than she did white folk and that's gonna be the people that influenced her accent the most all right if she grew up in queens bro i know she's around i tell her this all the time i'm like yo that's yours you're a product of this city don't let anybody tell you how you can or can't talk now here's the thing i do understand the frustration and we were talking to our boy derek poston opens up on on the road for us and i and he was bringing up this point i understand the frustration of black people where he's like yo if i quote unquote black scent it up i'm scary or dangerous to people when other cultures lean in it's endearing or funny it's funny that this asian girl has a blacker quote-unquote but we would call this a new york accent but if you're not from new york it's a black accent like that is all of a sudden comical right so it's like i understand that frustration if you're black you're going yo why when i do this [ __ ] it's [ __ ] up and dangerous and when this asian girl does it it's hilarious yeah yeah but that that's just comedy's weird like that yeah it's not it's not precise but besides that um yeah she's from queens she she is it's like that people it's not asian people that speak like that it's people from queens that speak like that yeah i mean didn't vicky get the same treatment well nikki well vicky no well vicky yeah yeah whatever but where is she from i'm pretty sure she's from like houston or some [ __ ] but that's her accent right from what i know so my thing is this might be that might be a little cat yeah i don't know i'm pretty sure that's reaction but um the main thing i was gonna say is i think it just comes down to the context i understand the struggle i understand where the hurt comes from whether it be with the braids and the box braids and everyone's switching up the names of the hairstyles because a white girl put on i get that yeah but we can't throw away context because you feel that outrage you gotta understand like there's an individual on the other side of that that you don't know that you are crediting to uh a group think or a group idea which is the same issue that you have being dealt to you you know what i'm saying you're being marginalized you're being pigeonholed when you speak a certain way now you're making and you're pigeonholing someone else removing their identity yeah their individualism right or the place that they grew up in or all that and just putting them in the people were like appropriating your culture no that's her culture yeah right so you can't just meet with that and again that comes back to the rogan thing earlier where it's like people don't want to take the time to go beyond the two-minute clip that they saw or anything like that to do a simple google church to learn about folks they don't have the energy yeah they just saw her they'd heard her speak and they went she's part of that clue yeah i think the solution is not punishing someone for like you know being a part of it it should be trying to create a more accepting society that doesn't feel uncomfortable in black people talk black yes you know what i mean yeah like it's the same thing with like cornrows like when a black woman wears cornrows in the workplace it's unprofessional she can't wear hair like that when david beckham does it wow look how cool this guy is yeah i don't think we should punish david beckham for wearing cornrows i think we should accept black women and i understand black people's frustration with that but it's easier to punish one person than to try to make a whole society change that's true that's true so you're taking out that frustration on that one part they become the figurehead for your frustrations i'm gonna make you feel how all the how society may be made me feel yes i don't know how it was and that's a human interaction sorry to cut you that's okay that's just like this knee-jerk thing that we do and we can we cannot be proud of our behavior we can do [ __ ] up things and recognize it but i do understand the impulse to be critical you're like you're just like what the [ __ ] i've been doing this [ __ ] and it's a problem they do it and it's celebrated but i like what you guys are saying at least that you have a context to go like that's where she's from that's how the [ __ ] she talks yeah because if she spoke in an asian accent nobody would be upset about it even though it wouldn't be natural for her right nobody would say a single [ __ ] thing because she's conforming to our idea of what it should be rather than yeah just kind of which with that that's [ __ ] up that is funny that is [ __ ] up that we no you should speak like that i don't want to be that guy but i'm like aren't you going doing the science thing yeah how how about this a black person grows up in the suburbs speaks doesn't speak like they're from the hood they get on television speak the same way everyone starts looking at him why are you trying to be white no it's the environment it would be weird if if i hear some guy who grew up in a gated community like it's like when i hear these rappers who grew up in gated communities talk about oh i'm shooting through keypads and all this stuff [ __ ] you live behind a gate like why are you talking about thug life that's not you that's inauthentic yeah that's the issue but you being true to yourself and and talking about stuff that's real for you now you're being white so it's like but i get this yeah i get that all the time because in french i don't know how aquafine got brought up and anything and stuff my parents came here and they understood they understood what having an accent and what not bothering people and so my parent i was not allowed to speak creole with my parents i was allowed to speak uh creole with uh my aunts and my mom extended feeling but with your parents no it was french because they wanted you to be nice because they understood that the importance of having a good french yeah right and when i step on when i said an interview sometimes and i speak french with the interview which is french quebec i speak quebecer which is therefore the different type of french with its accent what i said was the accent's gonna be different it's not gonna be like an accent from france right my black followers are like why are you trying to be white i grew up like that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah if i went to school i speak with a w with a creole accent i would get beat if i go back home and i speak with a quebecer actually not a proper actor proper quote-unquote i would get beat yeah so i co-switch all the time like that's what i do it's also it's not because you have different accent it's also part of who i am yeah it's part of who we all are yeah yeah i mean highly intelligent social individual is gonna have these different codes that they can speak with right if you're speaking one specific way you go talk to your priest you're gonna do the exact same things you talk to your friends no you're gonna change certain words and you're gonna change certain tones all that kind of stuff but your mom is from my mom's from scotland when she's with her family that scottish accent pops out and you're in your and you're like it don't pop out she's just being fake yeah she's [ __ ] fake yeah you're not you're not you're not 50 50 you're a hundred and hundred yeah i can also be all that and all that she can be uh asian wherever the hell she from yeah and also from queens and be part of that and that makes who she who she is but the thing is people want a clear distinction of what oh you're like that you're that yeah asian satisfy my feelings yes you should satisfy my feelings it's selfish and i don't understand how you then it's fake it's not like that it's not exactly like that but whatever again i i think it goes back to the whole thing we're trying to cope with this influx of information these new faces these new people and we don't have enough time to see them as individuals so we place them in groups so we can understand them yeah this i think a lot of these issues thinking's hard whether it's like misinformation all this stuff is just a reflection of like the new technologies that we're absorbing that our brains and our like we're not meant to see millions of people we're not meant to scroll and see a different person our brains have a hard time internalizing all this stuff and so we're having like these malfunctions where we're having almost like inhuman responses to other human beings but it's impossible to be empathetic to be kind to be understanding with millions of people that you're seeing all the time yeah so you have to i think that's all yeah put it in the box exactly make it quick for you to process exactly an asian you have to speak what yeah yeah here's an example here's an example i'm walking down the street and this i do something like you see somebody they look threatening you're just gonna assume that about them you're gonna profile them right you're going to act accordingly right if i see a bald white dude with like tattoos and i think he's a skinhead i'ma just move accordingly right that's who you were imagining [Laughter] so you do that but you have to imagine we aren't built for that because if you go back a long time you had your village you had your neighborhood you knew everybody there it wasn't normal to walk across somebody who looked threatening because you knew everybody and if they weren't there everybody's like yo who's that walking through our street yeah so we have to also acknowledge that everything has changed so fast and we haven't adapted exactly no exactly white people are good can i ask you one question yes miles go what if someone takes a new york accent what if they don't have it it happens i have a i have a prime example who's that canada's most handsome man ryan gosling hasn't yeah new yorker he not new yorker he's canadian yeah he grew up uh wanting a tougher accent so he started copying marlon brando as a kid how do you feel now is he making is he stealing your culture no that is different he's appropriate but if you're someone who lives in new york for extended period of time you're just going to speak like us it's just what it is it's like how many years not only is it cool yo i bet you i bet you if we were in the south if i lived in the south for [ __ ] you won't have it dwine three i'm gonna start having southern dude when we were in miami i bet i started saying bro more bro you were cuban i am a cuban i am cuban cuban dude one [ __ ] cubano i don't do that [ __ ] dude yeah i get you that sandwich is poor everything about that sandwich is it should be wrapped in plastic yeah that is a poor [ __ ] sandwich about their communism food yeah they're not we're not allowing that don't leave it bro nobody trying to eat that uh-uh it's ham and pork yeah yeah double up yeah like what's going on dude yeah yeah but you know if you understand the food situation in cuba you can't be too mad at them the best they could do yeah but they're here now only caribbean food that's good is jamaican what's the [ __ ] out of it what is haitian food what is that food you don't even know what the [ __ ] it is you're going that's your fault yeah talk that [ __ ] step it up is on the ryan gosling [ __ ] though like when you come from certain backgrounds you learn that assimilating is part of surviving or like adapting right so for like my parents like they understood this to survive in vancouver canada god forbid he didn't have that new york accent what would have happened i mean would he become part of the mickey mouse club who knows he sounded canadian bro he was from saskatchewan wouldn't have worked try to smooth talk as ryan gosling from saskatchewan yes it probably wouldn't have worked but survival is maybe the wrong word maybe not in regards to brian gosling but i do know like so for some folks when they immigrate to a certain spot they start taking on the accent like yes they weren't born there but i understand a portion of why they do it because it just you don't want to stand up because standing out oftentimes is a bad thing if you want to just leave a simple life you just want to go to work and like not have your boss single you out because the way that you talk he worries that it upsets customers or whatever so i'm not i'm not mad at it because i understand why it's there like i'm not mad at somebody who goes to a customer service job and all of a sudden they you know they're not like hey what up cuz they're like yes how can i do my name is how about this i worked at a call center we used to do things for like charities so we call people up to scam them and it's all scams and i would not say my name is abba of course not i'd say hey my name is michelle i would say in the french accent and i'll be like and and i would notice that the customers were more receptive to me once i had a name that they could identify with when i used to call it i used to have recordings in this they would just hang up so i learned that if i wanted to keep this job and to make money when i'm struggling i had to adapt my accent so yeah yeah oh yeah they would hang up yeah you go to hang up bodegas in canada i don't go hey what's up no i speak like them again all and i'm like they're like oh he's us cool not a threat yeah yeah yeah i think it's natural to do this yeah yeah i think that's normal yeah i i understand the frustration when you see it but i do think it is normal especially if you're living in a place yeah i didn't know that ryan gosling did that [ __ ] and he never even lived in new york no i grew up uh watched a lot of marlon brando movies and was like yo that's tough actor who sucked dick marlon brando oh the actor that's it what he's the gay actor right marlon brando didn't he [ __ ] richard pryor whoa richard pryor said some [ __ ] about that i think i'm pretty sure richard blair sucks marlin right now look it up yeah yeah you didn't know he was gay i didn't know was it quincy jones i'm not crazy bro i'm not crazy article from tmz says uh richard pryor's widow says yes he did bang marlon brandon let's go yeah sorry airing some [ __ ] out no i mean richard probably did say he sucked a dick i mean at least he sucked the best like that [ __ ] was one of the best you have a new york accent after you blow brandon yeah 100 he blew it right into his [ __ ] mouth dude he couldn't help but speak with a new york accent dude his [ __ ] throat [Laughter] oh boys uh we gotta wrap it up we have uh one more story i don't care about do you guys care about it okay listen tell them where they can find you tell them about the tour tell them about any other projects coming you know we're big supporters over here so i've been preached talk to the at people preach we also have another channel called abba versus preach uh and on uh instagram abba and preach

Schulz Canadian accent was fucking hilarious

[u/No_Bar6825]

LMFAO Andrews Canadian accent! I was hollering “hey buddy”. I’m Canadian and literally joke around with my bro the same way lmfao

[u/medici1048]

The Canadian accent needs to become a staple.

[u/Gigamon2014]

I ain't even going to focus on the n-word. Why has the whole planet of the apes thing been left conveniently out of the discussion.

The problem with right leaning/joe rogan fan types is that y'all operate on such immensely bad faith. There is no "context" to his comments and it clealry wasn't a joke, just like his "best of both worlds" comment to a mixed raced guest wasn't a "joke" either.

Is his racism being used a source of criticism due to his covid skepticism? Possibly, but he still said it. I actually think this may be the beginning of the end for Rogan. Will he get "cancelled", no because "cancelling" means sweet fuck all. But this is a pivotal moment where anyone who endorses or supports Rogan pretty much tells everyone where they stand on his racist comments.

That Quincy Jones interview is Nuts! A good read for anyone who hasn't. Homie was going in on everyone. ABA knows

[u/clifbarczar]

One of the best episodes ever. Maybe second only to the one Wax from a few years ago.

Great chemistry!

[u/nick993]
