yeah man what do you think about this uh let's let's get into real quick this james
davis thing
that went down oh what the girl with the the young lady had a tweet making fun
of extensions
the rapper that got oh he got killed extension extension yeah and that room
yeah james davis
but that's not the girl but the girl came out and made a joke oh also james davis
tweeted her
about something no he called the james davis called out the girl because he was
the one that made the
joke she was the one that made the joke right okay i know i know the joke i've
seen i've seen that i've
seen the bit did you think it was all right um i i thought i got it but you
know what that joke is
like what we were talking about earlier about saying the n-word right it's one
of those things where it's
like is this is this necessary is it really that funny right because like the
structure of the joke
i get it it's hilarious right the point of the point of the joke is funny i don't
know if she
executed it the way like i bet you if i said it it wouldn't have gotten that
that kind of thing
right but so that's important too about what you look like so there's this meek
little white girl
who's making this you know in that kind of smug liberal way you know that's
throwing a young
deceased mixed boy under the bus you know a mixed young man just the way just
the way she looks or he
could be italian that needed to be part of she needed to realize but i again i
get the job i'm not
mad at her for making the joke i get the joke and i think the structure of the
joke is sound i think
i think that it could have been funnier than the way she did it because i get
what she was trying
to say instead of like it's not the joke ain't about him right that's what
people need to
understand the joke's not about him or even making fun of him right the joke is
about carrying around
fifty thousand dollars right that's the joke the joke is like you know instead
of carrying around
fifty thousand dollars you know use venmo yeah that's funny yeah but and so the
fact that the
guy was killed because of the money is a way of of emphasizing that he i'm just
intellectualizing
the joke right now no i'm saying she just didn't execute it in a way that it
was like super funny
well it shows you how young people i think to me it feels like the like a
millennial generation got
more upset about this probably because they attach everything just to the
person yeah yeah it's like
more of the me culture it's all about what i'm saying they don't think right
they don't think they
hear they just heard his name and that means it's inappropriate it's
inappropriate he's dead and
you're making fun of him and you're doing all this stuff it's like no yeah she
was making fun of
people carrying around a lot of cash right use the venmo app and she used him
as an example
exactly right but it just wasn't executed in a way that was super funny right
should we play it for
the audience yeah let's play it is anyone still morning xxx tentacion
he's a he's a rapper who uh was murdered he's dead now um he was he was shot he
was on his way to buy
a car with fifty thousand dollars in cash and somebody shot him and took the
money which is very
tragic but i think also it would be a very good venmo commercial i mean that's
that's the joke yeah
that's pretty funny i mean that's what i'm saying it's unfortunate the guy died
it is but it's like
if you tell a joke with jfk in it bro he's dead exactly it's like it's like it's
like people people
frame this into this thing too about like it becomes racial it becomes like you
know it becomes about
this white girl she's not even white she's she's indian she's yeah but yeah but
she looks white
enough to me but also okay so she's indian who knows that who who's gonna know
that like if she if
she wanted to look indian she'd look indian yeah okay so i don't want to hear
that if i close my
eyes what do i hear i hear a white girl okay and that's what people around the
country that they
don't know they don't even know her name and then you add that element to it so
what is that supposed
to be and that's why i say people want to know what you are so they can know
how to hate you
like i'm all for her not saying like she shouldn't say what she is or anything
it's like no i'm just a
person making a funny joke right you know but i think she should i if i were
her i would i would go even
further into this i double down that's what i would do i would be double down i
would be the dirt with
dina hasham and she makes jokes that throat that that that are just completely
no holds barred that's
exactly what i would do and she would have a career for herself yes she could
be the next uh who was
the big lady they got skin that lost a lot of paula bell no uh the big lady
they got thin thin and
very okay she did the roast uh lisa lampanella oh that's who i meant once she
lost all that
wait where's she at yeah she disappeared bro well twice
i don't know she's like baby jessica bro she fucking fell off the face of the
earth bro
so what did james davis say so he was he was just like the first one that uh
kind of brought the joke
to light and was like this wasn't wrong this is wrong and made a big stir about
it and everybody
was criticizing him for attacking another comic i agree with that though and he
could just like
james yeah i like james too but i feel like this is one of these things where
it's like this is like
one of those things it's like what are we doing right now i mean if we're gonna
like if i'm gonna
criticize her at all it's gonna be like well because i'm not a fan of this type
of comedy
this kind of like slow you know right i agree she's boring that's boring to me
that's i wouldn't
want to see that for an hour she's a writer yeah but it's a well-crafted joke i
mean kudos you know
but it's just like that's that kind of smug shit that comedy central wants to
put you know you have
to watch that for a half hour and be like you're supposed to be like oh is this
gonna be the next
like that's what coming yeah like funny is not a thing anymore like for some
reason it's not
important to be funny or entertaining like is that entertaining like like that's
the kind of joke
where you see it and you're supposed to go like this well done yeah oh well
done my yeah you know
that's not i want to be like ah good one i want people to be like if you
perform enjoy myself if
you perform it in a certain way people are going to be like that's fucked up
yeah but they they're
they appreciated what you did that was just more for the shock value yeah she's
a writer the way it
was presented i'm saying but i ain't mad at her i'm just telling you no what's
her name
dina hashem dina hashem putting out there to you you ain't you did all right
keep doing you yeah
you know that's the chances we have to take yeah and also yeah and james i mean
i've heard from
people in meetings i've heard from people uh just on the street that james davis
is hard to work with
i've heard that repeatedly that the young man's hard to work with do you know
huh get him on the
podcast yeah i'll have i'd love to have him come on i'm just saying that i've
heard that i'm not
saying that oh he's a bad guy i'm not saying that he's not funny i'm just
saying that that i've heard
that i just wonder people are starting to say that about you now they are i can
believe it i believe
it but i'll say this you believe it i can believe it yeah you know who theo is
now now theo's the guy
now on stage complaining about it's too loud in the hallway yeah that's how i
knew you changed
that's when you changed well the place also comedy store no you changed theo
you changed that would two years ago that wouldn't have been a thing to you you
would have just powered
through now you up there like uh the whole yeah bro it's so loud out there dog
you bougie
motherfucker what happened to you bro i'll say this what happened to you comedy
store used to it used
to be a lot it used to run a lot more smoother i think it's gotten chaotic out
there bro last night
dude joey diaz on stage the mic's fucking shit the whole time dude the mic it
was shit before he went
up there and it's like y'all letting this man be up there with that shitty mic
well that's something
they got to take that's a that's a technical issue but every time the
technician dry he's out back
smoking dope every set that's true he's fucking sitting there right by the
things you think he know
you think he work at radio shack on the off days i think he knows how to work
all the equipment
oh god see what i'm saying now you changed i'm just saying bro they got now
they got a stool over
there where the guy that by the window he used to stand up and work now he's
sitting over there
milling around bro hey i got attacked at the comedy store so i get i mean this
is i'm just saying stuff
has been going on for a long time so i don't know what to tell you but like
yeah i think you should
have james on i don't know why i don't know why he did that i just i just you
know i just i would never
i don't know if i would ever come out against a joke and be like this is wrong
right exactly what i'm
saying too like where's my mindset then yeah because then it's like who who's
allowed to say
what that's not the business we're in we are not in the business of censorship
right we're in the
business of taking chances and sometimes when you take those chances they're
going to go too far
and it's going to be pushed back like kathy griffin yeah that was a terrible
joke oh she's it was
terrible and she's now bounced back she's talking she made a documentary about
everything that's
happened to her she's got a new special coming out so that's what we have to do
where's the special
i don't i don't know it's probably gonna be netflix or something like that i'm
not sure but they
have like that what i'm saying is there's a pushback after but don't be coming
out talking about
what someone can or cannot say my criticism is technique you know what i mean
right but like i get the
the structure yeah if somebody had a joke i would never be like oh i might
think to myself oh i
don't like that joke or whatever exactly but that's how i feel about things i
go i didn't like that
that's not my cup of tea that's how that's how i look at stuff i don't i don't
ever i'm just never
like i just go man i don't i i wouldn't have said it like that that's all it is
you know i still try
to enjoy people most of the time i don't ever even comment on we only we don't
even usually talk
about this stuff i just thought it'd be interesting um yeah you brought it up
you know yeah and well i just
know everybody's been talking about it recently so i thought it would be
interesting but again it's
one of those things it's gonna blow over think about together it's gonna blow
over nobody cares we
won't even put the clip of it so blown over yeah yeah yeah wow you know what's
