Jamie Foxx on Robert Downey Jr. Doing Blackface - Joe Rogan

hello freak [ __ ] i mean i did i did one i did jimmy fallon one succeeding that jimmy fallon in every organization wanted to get me what did you say i was doing a joke uh of singing uh we were singing these funny songs about who let the dogs out and so we took who let the dogs out and put it in like a um like a like a vaudeville or show tune who left the dogs at whatever it was right but beginning of that i sort of ad lib like i was watching these dogs and they were coming towards me and i was wondering you know who let them out and there was a pit bull there and you know you have to be careful because pit bulls can be cantankerous you know and then i go into the song the pit bull community it was like jamie foxx station pitbull shamed us and then there was another thing where jimmy fallon was doing um was doing some type of uh he was saying what was going to be on the next show and i was doing a bad version of signing which i actually know how to sign i was doing a bad version you know sign language i know sign language we'll talk more about it later you know all those types of different things but as i was doing it as a joke i didn't know that the person that he was talking about happened to be deaf oh no oh my god and so then you know so it was just all of these things and i tried to tell people i said hey listen we never mean anything bad we poke fun but we're not we don't mean anything bad but you can't just you know you can't you you can't kill us because i gotta keep doing what i do you know so it's it's getting tougher well it's just what we're talking about about social media about uh people commenting on things that you can't read the comments there's just too many people yeah and people are always looking for something to be recreationally outraged at yeah in the comments to get that ass too the comment comment to hit you right where you are sometimes damn this [ __ ] is right well it's good too though a little bit i mean they're right when they're actually right like someone can say something ridiculous about you and if you know it's ridiculous it doesn't mean anything but if it's got a hint of truth you're like but when somebody said something about your teeth you you kind of look in the mirror i don't understand that i gotta i got [ __ ] up i got i got somebody hit me with the donkey the you know this [ __ ] donkey i was like ah i'll start talking like you know you know so you know but i tell people all the time don't read the comments that's the book don't read the comments because it will make you start to change the way you do things if i read all of the comments i never tell another joke yeah if i read all the comments i'll never try another you know i got a movie that we just uh shot for little or nothing called all star weekend and the jokes are like all the way out there you know and it's i got everybody in it you know and we're all taking we all play different characters like i play a white racist white racist cop and how do you do that i'll show it to you i'll grab the same show to you but it's uh robert downey jr plays a mexican gerard butler plays a russian who loves gymnastics uh benicio del toro plays this crazy tattoo artist and we're all you know we're all doing our thing so it's like if you read the comments that'll make you tuck that in but this is some brilliant and it's it's a cool little thing too it's it's called all-star weekend for a reason it's about two guys one guy loves steph curry the other guy loves lebron james and all they're trying to do is get to the all-star game and it's sort of like this whole journey of running all these people so it's dope but it is some things where it's like oh you know you could see there's gonna be some some [ __ ] going on well robert johnny jr just from tropic thunder think about that you could never do that anymore you can't have blackface anymore yeah you know what i'll say this people have to understand where it comes from there are real people out there that really mean you harm like outside of us i mean there's some real people who really don't [ __ ] like you whatever you are whether you're black you're white you're straight you're gay whatever it is there's some people who really don't like we're the entertainment and it's easy we're easy targets we're easy it's easy for you to jump on robert downey jr or jamie fox or joe because it's easy you know when it's real things which you know whether it's politics whether it's whatever a lot of times we we sort of we're not ready for that fight but it's easy to sort of pick the comedian i call robert i said listen i need you to play a mexican he says dude uh here's the deal sure [ __ ] it sure why not [ __ ] it sure of course you know mexican whatever but then he texts back and said i'm nervous to play the mexican i said well [ __ ] you played the black dude and you killed that [ __ ] we're just all you know we got to be able to do character what kind of blowback did he get from playing the black dude none because we [ __ ] up before the wire too though it was like what year was tropic thunder i feel like that was like 10 years ago it was wow but but here's the thing we [ __ ] with robert downey jr like that's our guy right like i did his birthday party and my first joke was how dare you take all of these roles from black people you know anyway everybody's laughing so it's sort of like the entertainers man should we you got to give us room you know what i'm saying like to to play any i'll show you when i gotta take that realm you gotta take it you can't worry about i saw chappelle somewhere was like you know they would ask him about his jokes and he's like yo man look you know people have said worst [ __ ] and i think he said something about donald trump saying grab about a [ __ ] or some [ __ ] whatever but it was true it was like the one thing uh that you look at what happened with politics this year people sort of stripped away a lot of things you know i'm saying regardless of what you believed in uh who whatever person you voted for it was a lot of things that were sort of addressed about like maybe we were playing things a little too close like some of those politicians were afraid to say what donald trump was saying and they ended up being left in the dust because people were a little like well well he's he's got a point in the sense of we're playing things a little too close [Music] [Applause] [Music] you

Jamie had a great hour long interview with Joe Rogan. I never thought Foxx was that deep of a thinker, he's an amazing guy, talented and charming. Oh and his celebrity impressions are hysterical!

I'm a lead farmer mother fucker.

That RDJ impersonation was hilarious

[u/Doc_McCoyXYZ]

My old boss shot this. Shot the whole thing for about 8 million bucks, I think Jamie mostly funded it with 5 of his own. He wrote, directed and stars in it, I think it's his first time doing that. (He's editing it too) I still remember going to his house on election night when they were filming, it was an extras scene with the most hot women Ive ever seen in one place. Ever. I still cry.

Foxx killed it on The JRE! I wish it would've been like 3 hrs instead of just 1. They barely scraped the surface, but, the topics they did cover were awesome. I can't wait for this movie. The cast sounds awesome. Foxx/RDJ/BDT/Leonidas playing a bunch of bizarre race swapped characters centering around Steph Curry & LeBron at All Star Weekend? It sounds like a stoner comedy for the ages. I will definitely be keeping tabs.

I read the title like 5 times but I still can't make sense of it.

If you watch/listen to the whole episode Jamie Foxx is super funny and does a killer impression of just about everyone he tells a story of.
