I'm the morning alarm with a mic in my hand and some smoke in my palm. Say D.
>> Say it one more time. D.

I hope you are doing well. Today is a different day. I'm going to need y'all to go ahead, tap that tap. Let's go. Sorry for the late show, but I had some things I had to handle and I had to make room because today we're getting close, people. I don't know if you've heard, but now we're on Day Three of Godfree Watch. Day Three, ladies and gentlemen. Tears still open. But is it? Yeah, 'cause today is different, people.
Over the last few weeks, social media has been on absolute fire. Podcasts, YouTube channels, Instagram Lives, Facebook, so on and so forth. Everybody and their black ass mama got an opinion about Godfrey, foundational black Americans, the diaspora, who gets to speak for whom, what that looks like, the whole nine. But a whole lot of people have been talking, including my black ass. But a lot of people have not actually been having conversations, and that's what I'm going to change. Yes, indeed. Right.
And my guest today has spent decades in comedy, media, podcasting, and relationship coaching. He's built a reputation for saying what he believes whether people agree with him or not. He is not afraid of the smoke. He is not afraid of uncomfortable conversations. Ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly why I wanted him here. Now, today, we're not here for gotcha moments. We're not looking for viral insults. We're not here chasing clout. We don't do that because that is some [ __ ] assness [ __ ]. And y'all know I do not believe in [ __ ] assesses. But we are going to talk about the Godfrey controversy. We're going to talk about foundational black Americans. We're going to talk about accountability. We're going to talk about absolutely everything up to and including respect. And we're also going to ask some questions that a lot of people have been dancing around like, like Puffy just. And so if you've been waiting for somebody to actually sit down and have a grown man ass conversation, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and hit that super chat. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and like, share, subscribe. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen and lady friends, allow me to welcome one, the only co-host of In Godfrey We Trust, a man who has so much experience and is an unintentional founder of the Proud Boys. The one and only Dante Nero is in the building. What up, homie?
>> What's going on, doggy? How you? What's the deal? What's the deal?
>> I'm I'm great. Did I bring you up or did I bring you up?
>> You brought me up. That's I can't ask for no better than that, bro. I can't ask for no better than that.
>> Absolutely. Well, man, first and foremost, man, I want to thank you for uh taking the invitation. Obviously, no doubt. Um, I know you didn't have to do this.
>> I'm getting a little bit of feedback from your monitor, by the way.
>> Uh, let me. How about? How about that?
>> That should be good.
>> Yeah, that's better.
>> All right. Okay. Yeah, that's better. So before we get into clips and everything that's happened, man, um, I want to ask you a simple question.
>> Yeah.
>> What made you say yes to coming on Dave Anderson Morning News?
>> Well, I I I saw your your thing with Zoo Zouri Zouri. Uh.
>> Oh, Frank Zanu.
>> Frank Zanu. I talk and what I think happens a lot of times is um people are talking about blackness from a perspective and they don't have the intellectual acuity. I I shouldn't say intellectual acuity because he's definitely an intellectual dude, but they don't have the historical background. And and so when you don't have the historical background, you're speaking from from a p uh uh from an ignorant p perspective because when you understand at the base of all of this, if you don't understand what was done to African-Americans in in in terms of, I mean, I just I I just finished um like if you look at my my bookshelf, I I don't I don't play. So, um, but I just finished, uh, The Edible Negro. Um.
>> Which?
>> Dectable Negro.
>> Dectable Negro, right? Um, there's another one called Edible People. I read both of those. But,
>> Yeah.
>> Um, when you start reading uh when you want to know how evil uh, white supremacy and white people can be, I I two books I tell people to read. One is um a medical apartheid and the other one is dectable negro um also edible negro. But the when you talk about the the the homoerotic feticization of black bodies, the consumption of black bodies, which is really interesting when you when you look at this the the the Epstein files and you talk about these these uh rich white men who were uh having sex with children uh and and cannibalizing children and torturing children is and and you get people like, "Oh my god, this is this is so this is so crazy, right?" But this if they're doing that now, what do you think they were doing when black people were were were possessions were property?
>> Right?
>> Um, so I I I think so when people understand that the level of um uh the level of of of trauma that black people are going through and you know um if you you go through, you know, if you go to Desert Storm, you come home and then you you you [ __ ] up about, I can curse, right?
>> Yeah. Of course.
>> Uh, you come home [ __ ] up because you've been to war, Vietnam or whatever. You go to therapy. They they, you know, diagnose you as uh as as disabled. You're a disabled veteran. And then you go to therapy. You go to group therapy. You go to single therapy and stuff. And there's this movement to to to um to, you know, heal mentally to heal you or to cope with this. And and uh black people, foundational black Americans have nobody's ever stopped and said, "Okay, we need to give this we need to give people slavery just happened. We have uh we're 1776 to was it uh uh 1865. We need to stop and these people need to be consulted and they need to be brought made whole again." Not even that that might have might not have been even something that people were thinking about. But then when you talk about Jim Crow, you talk about you talk about the red lining, you talk about um mass incarceration and stuff and and we we are being raised by my mama like so so I'm a, you know, foundational my understanding if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I I consider my my mother was from Virginia, uh descendants of slaves. My grandfather was um was Sue was 100% Sue. Uh, my mom's lighter like my mom could My mom was passable white passing. Uh, not that she didn't pass, but she was very light. Zunai Virginia, very, very, very, very light. In fact, when I was a little kid, we used to go to the Chinese restaurant. The Chinese dudes used to hit on her 'cause she thought they thought she was Chinese. Um, um, but and then but my dad, my dad grew up in Harlem. Um, my dad was a youth worker from like 1935. From 1935, he went to World War World War II. He stormed the beaches of Normandy. But his father, his father was from uh from Antigua. Um, but his mother was from Boston. Uh, she was a half black, half white orphan from Boston where you couldn't be half black, white, so she grew up in an orphanage. Um, and and he he um, so but my but my dad uh has never was never went to Antigua and he was a Harlem dude. He was a Harlem kind of hustle street dude, you know. So, um, you know, I and and on my mother's side is all African American, you know, descendants of slaves um and Native American. I mean, uh, so, um, or indigenous. So I I think when you don't have you don't understand that that the trauma for that um.
>> Right.
>> Um, I went, you know, like I was lucky enough. I mean, I went to Sunni New, I didn't finish, but I mean, I you but I went to college and I and then I was kind of a street dude too, but,
>> But you know when you when you have
>> you know when you're straddling the streets and and home 'cause you know like I was lucky enough, uh, I grew up in a brownstone in Brooklyn in in in in in Crown Heights and uh my dad bought his house for $11,000. Um.
>> So, yeah, so we're talking about way back and my dad had a uh uh 16 brothers and sisters, eight and eight.
>> Um, but my dad was born 1920, the youngest of of 16. Um, you know, we talking about depression. My dad had rickets.
>> He grew up with rickets, which is.
>> Damn.
>> Yeah. So, you know, this is deep into depression. Um.
>> I remember my dad telling telling me when he went to France, when they went they they ran he ran up on the beaches in Normandy and he um he uh, you know, when they went to France, they had told the French uh they had told the f the French children that black soldiers had tails. I don't know if you've heard that.
>> Yeah, I heard it. And so when my dad tell he used to tell me when he walked through through through through France, the little kids, little French kids was running behind them looking at the trying to look for the tails to see if they were so, you know, there's so much of this history and so did of a tragedy.
>> Um, and this constant stress and black people are so resilient, African-Americans are so resilient in the fact that they, you know, you you you're a professor, you know, I mean, I'm living, you know what I'm saying? I've been on.
>> I did Blacklist. I did Power. I mean, just to get to the point where you go through trauma on trauma, being raised by people with trauma from trauma from trauma, and to still have black billionaires is crazy.
>> That's 100%. So, um, you know, I mean, it just to have somebody talking about that, um, from a perspective where you have no idea what you're you're making these assumptions where you just don't have the information, you know.
>> To to make those assumptions.
>> No, that that makes a lot of sense. So, here's the thing, man. Um, and you and I have talked offline this weekend. My thing at this point is we got to have a real conversation. In fact, on two things. Number one, as a foundational black American who also happens to be Godfrey's best friend,
>> Right?
>> Um, I have I have to ask you a lot of times like, how can you sit there when he's just like, oh, foundational black [ __ ] or, you know, [ __ ] them or, you know, y'all calling me a tether? Well, [ __ ] you, D. How about I just don't speak up for you? Or I lost deals um defending you [ __ ] talking about foundational black American women. Like, how, what, what's going through your brain when he's saying this and how can you sit there calmly while he's disparaging who you consider your people?
>> So, first of all, in my opinion, in my opinion, I don't like I I think Godfrey had been to Nigeria twice, right?
>> Right.
>> Um, Godfrey's father was Nigerian, but he was an educator. He taught. Mom was also an educator. And but um, first of all, I I don't know if you know the kind of stress that somebody goes like an what an African goes through. I mean, first of all, it's very difficult for af for for Nigerians and Africans to find happiness in the context if you're not going to be an engineer or a doctor or a lawyer. And so for him to be an entertainer in itself is a struggle. That was a struggle for him. In fact, he hid it. He hid being a comic. The reason why his father found out that he was trying to be a comic was because he got busted by his sister like in in uh in uh one of the first black uh one of the first black comedy clubs in, I forget the name of the club in Chicago. You might know better than me.
>> Um, the one, what was it?
>> Is it Riddles?
>> Might it was a Was it black owned?
>> I believe Riddles was black owned at the time. I could be wrong, but I don't know.
>> Bernie M. Bernie Mack was there and.
>> Talking about Oh [ __ ].
>> It's not Riddles. It's something else.
>> Yeah, the Riddles doesn't sound like it. But what I'm saying is I to be honest, I I don't think he he. So this is I was going to ask you about this and then we talk about foundationally black America in terms of who your father was and who your mother was and I get that. But,
>> You know, Grey would be considered if it wasn't for his, you know, uh unmitigated ability to entertain and so on and so forth, he um, he would be considered a failure. As as a Nigerian because he's not professional.
>> To that point.
>> Yeah.
>> Cuz we're going to circle back to the question, but to that point, he would be considered a failure as a Nigerian.
>> Right?
>> Because and and I know plenty of Nigerians. I do business with Nigerians. I've been around. I'm a I'm I'm a foundational black American, but I know how Nigerian parents are. Hell, you hear Yvonne Orji talk about this. If you're not a doctor, lawyer, engineer, architect, you are considered a failure.
>> Here's the problem.
>> An architect is shaky.
>> An architect is shaky because there's a lot of broke ass architects who can't really draw a straight line. But here's the problem. You can't say in one breath, I'm American. I was born in Nebraska, but you're still raised culturally as Nigerian. He said that both of his parents were in Nigerian groups. So he quote, this is what he said. He said, both of his parents were in Nigerian groups. So he got a whole lot of Nigeria coming up. And you literally just said that he had a situation where he could not as a comedian, like I listen, when I decided at 20 years old to uh to enter the Laugh House standup open mic contest,
>> You know, it was me and Naim Lynn who tied.
>> Shout out to my boy Naim.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Yeah. We we lived in the same dorm the whole night. Any who and anyhow, I told my mom, "Yeah, I'm doing standup now." Okay, cool.
>> Yeah.
>> Whatever. I I I got to follow your dreams talk because my mother's a foundational black American. My dad said, "Hey, as long as you happy and you ain't killing nobody and you ain't going in no white man's army like me and your stepfather and your grandfather had to do,
>> And you ain't jail, we good.
>> And you ain't in jail." Oh, no. I went to jail once when I was four years old 'cause my dad was a cop. He put me in jail, let me stay and I was completely safe. I was in county lockup. So I never wanted to experience that again.
>> So what I'm saying is he is Nigerian to the point where he understands the concept of shame. He understands the concept of playing for his last name. He understands the Nigerian concept of if you're not a doctor, lawyer, something fancy that everybody in the Nigerian culture, even though they're in America right now, can talk about amongst themselves. He knows good and hell well that he's not black when it comes to what it means culturally. He was not raised like you and I were raised.
>> Right. But.
>> That's it.
>> Okay. But let me say this. But he never fit into that mode at all. Like his.
>> And and I'm and I'm going tell you something that what you find a lot of times with um so so you know I I do relationship consulting. Right.
>> Absolutely.
>> Um, and uh a lot of the guys that I counsel, guys who African, African, Indian, you know, there's this culture where their culture is a burden in a way that um they're trying to escape the culture. Um.
>> Mhm.
>> So you do and and I to I'm meant to tell you something like, you know, I I hustled, I was hustling a little bit, but.
>> I couldn't bring that home.
>> You know what I mean? Like I was in them streets. I was in the streets because I wanted to be in them streets, but my I but I put on the, you know, when I came home, I helped Miss Johnson with the groceries and I, you know, and I got good grades and I was I never spoke up. I didn't you know, I I mean, I didn't I didn't we didn't curse in the house. It, you know what I mean? Because you don't, you know, my dad was like, he'd have put it on me. Um, so I think um, you're you're the fact that you're so and and let's be honest, there's no, there's and I'm I'm I'm I'm reluctant to say this, but I I mean, I got to be honest, I feel like African African Indian, they suck as parents because they there's all this I have an idea about what your what your um, what your life should be. I've I've done my life, right? Right. And I and I get it because they come from a perspective of of uh of survival as opposed to to uh self-fulfillment.
>> Um, so, uh, there ain't really much, there's not a lot of social. It's like, I am I am the producer. I am the provider. This is what you gonna do because I tell you what to do and then you fit in whatever else.
>> In the cracks.
>> Um, so there's really not like a lot of interaction with with parents and, you know, on a on a other than you do what the [ __ ] I tell you to do. Do you know what I mean? Um, and so you're and and this is what I'm I'm I'm been thinking about this myself. At what point in time are you such so far removed from African Indian Caribbean culture that you're not like that that you become maybe honorary FBA or maybe another category of that um because this is all you know?
>> Here's the thing. It's not all he knows. We've already established it's not all he knows. The the other part of that is he can, bro. He can speak the language.
>> No, he can't.
>> He grew. He can't speak the language.
>> No.
>> Okay, I stand corrected. He still grew up in that household. He knows what his daddy is. He knows what his mommy is. And they themselves.
>> Are Nigerian.
>> Here's the thing. There was a girl when I'm gonna give you an example so that we can make this completely plain.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> I grew up in the uh Germantown, West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia, right? And there was a girl um who lived in the hood with us and her name was Bobby Joe Paladino. Now Bobby Joe, if you didn't know Bobby Joe, you would think she was albino because she had her hair cut like how Peppa from Salt and Peppa had her hair cut. She had the, you know, she had the dookie earrings, she had geometric, the geometric. You know what I'm saying? She she had a grill. She had the chain. The whole nine. She dressed, walked, talked, acted like us. But when she went home to the Paladino household, she was still Italian. Your bloodline does not change because of how much you're exposed to something. You know what I'm saying? Like when I was in Austin, Texas programming CBS, and I was programming a pop station, everybody there except for my operations manager and myself was Mexican.
>> Right?
>> And I lived in Texas for a good part of my life. I am still not considered a Mexican. Like, just because you're exposed to something does not mean that you're there. Now, to answer your question from a fair place, he would have to be here for over 400 years, understand what we went through in order to provide the opportunity for his parents to come over here to provide him the American experience where and he knows.
>> Uh, the fact that because I mean, shoot, you know, you know his whole government name.
>> Sure.
>> You you understand what I'm saying? There's a certain level.
>> What what I'm saying also is that um if I like if I read if I I read uh Edible Negro, he yo, I just yo, we book for book, we we get down like that. Um.
>> Absolutely. He's very well read. Oh, he. No, so I think what I think also I think what he has a he has a bit of a temper also about that he kind of I think that was like I'm all I'm always defending this like he's always gone hard for the for for like like I mean, I've seen him check people all the time where yo yo like what you what you doing like But the, you know, like it ain't you there wouldn't you wouldn't even be this immigrant. You wouldn't have the ability to come here as immigrants if it wasn't for black people, wasn't for civil rights and stuff. So I think some, but then um, there's also there are FBA [ __ ] who in in a lot of cases in a lot of cases, you know, they they use that moniker and they use that moniker because it gives them some level of validation, but they ain't [ __ ]. And so they're always looking for this looking for this thing to to to differentiate somebody because they're not really in it. They not really in it either. So I think his response to that and I mean I mean, you know, I'm speaking for him and I don't know even know, but I'm speaking, it was a frustration of the fact that that he was that they was going at him.
>> When he always he always gets he's always down for that. I mean, it's I mean, first of all, it's the truth. He's aware of the truth. He it's not like he's questioning it or whatever. Um, but it just it I think you can also, we're still human in that when like like I ride for you and then you you uh and then you coming at me like such and such and I always tell him, uh, you know, like, and I'm I'm a few years older than him and probably maybe a little mature. Yo, stop stop com stop flying off the handle for the comments because this is a faceless nameless person that's coming at you and then you flying off the handle and you don't even know who this person is, you know.
>> Um.
>> Right.
>> So, I think and and he's done that and I'll tell you how how what a problem that is. Scoffrey had um had 900,000 followers on his Instagram,
>> Right?
>> And blew it telling somebody he punched somebody in the mouth or something like that 'cause they was talking slick on the on the live and they literally snatched his I mean, you I mean, we you know, my podcast is growing and you're you just start now. Can you imagine you get close to a million and then they snatch your like they snatch your mill, your 900,000 followers that you've worked for throughout the years and and you got to start and he had to start from scratch. So.
>> It's that kind of recklessness, that anger, that kind of flying off the handle. I think that's more of a of a of a character flaw than it is really understanding how that could be perceived and and and how it's not perceived. And I mean, I and I know I'm asking people to to uh go with my take on it because I'm that's my boy and I love him and we, you know, my best friend and stuff, but I'm also, you know, like we were talking before, is like one of my three principles, three principles that I live by is is an acronym called ACE, just authenticity, tell the truth, credibility, show up and keep your word, and empathy, to understand that other people have gone through things that other people have may not be aware of. And I think if you practice those three things, um, you can't be a better human being. There's no way to.
>> Yeah. No, there's there's no way you can't be. Now, hold that thought because here we got to prioritize our super chats. Um, Big Hurt, thank you for the $5 super chat said, "Dante stood on FBA lineage when that dude got out of pocket. Godfrey is a guest in our culture. He still needs to read the room." And that's my point to you.
>> Agree. And again, I'm not holding you accountable for that. But I'll give you an example. Right? So, it's 2005, 2006, and I get a call because Dr. Laura, who I had known for quite some time, decided to get on the air and she was just like, "Yeah, I just don't understand why they say this word. They're just running around here saying, 'Nigga, [ __ ], [ __ ], [ __ ], nigga.'" And they were like, "Um, we're going to make a change. We're going to bring in uh we're going to bring in somebody else. We're going to bring in Les Brown." Because, you know, even though people were saying what you were saying, well, you know, she's done this and she's worked with black people and she knows this person and this that and the third and blah blah blah blah blah. You know, she just she she spoke out of term. She didn't mean it. It's like it's explaining for bad behavior. Now, in all in all fairness, everybody has a temper. That's cool. But if you cared about us and you already know that we have suffered, you already know that people are coming at us. And there's trash in every race. There is poor white trash. There's there's Mexican trash. There's Indians that live in slums. Like that. You're a grown man who for a living stands up in front of other people, crowds of people, sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands, and then gets on television in front of millions of people, and then says, "I have something to say for an hour and a half, and I know how to make people laugh with that." You know, 'cause you've been in standup longer than I have.
>> Yeah.
>> Um, there's a certain thing called heckling. If you can't hack heckling, that gets you that upset that you're you're going to start just throwing it out. And it it almost came off like Papa John, like, well, you know, I do this and and maybe I should just stop speaking from you.
>> Yeah, I get it.
>> Do you have any idea like, and that's that was going back to my initial question is how as a foundational black American man did you sit there and let him.
>> Do that?
>> Like, what was going through your mind when he was when he was getting out of pocket?
>> So, I'm going to tell Gthrey's been probably been doing been doing comedy for about 30, 34 years. Right. Right.
>> Uh, I've been doing his podcast with him for five, uh, five, maybe close to six now, you know, co-hosting. I come on here and there, but I'm also I'm 60, right?
>> Yeah.
>> And and I'm also pulling on those reins on on Gaffry's reins a lot of times when um, not just about this, but sometimes a slip of the tongue or going after like like I wouldn't have said, "You ain't my mother." I wouldn't have said that.
>> Right.
>> So, I'm always pulling on these reins and I and I'm 60 and I'm exhausted. I'm And so I I just, to be honest, I'm I'm tired. And so sometimes it slips through the cracks where I'm not, you know, because he he he respects me and if I if I go, yo, that ain't, you know, that don't sound right. Now, I I'm also super um particular about what my words are because you and I spoke about before that how I started the helped start the Proud Boys.
>> By accident.
>> By accident.
>> Just because because I didn't um I didn't understand that people could take your message and delete part of it and then take a portion of it and and contort it. And the only way you can stop that right is that you have to like so when I talk about the three principles, it's authenticity, credibility, and empathy. You cannot be a racist if you have empathy.
>> You cannot you you if you have empathy, you cannot be a racist.
>> Um.
>> Because it's just not going to allow you to. And I didn't emphasize the empathy part of my philosophy. And this is how this is what the not to say that I I didn't say it, but I didn't understand the importance of emphasizing that above even truth and credibility. You know, and that's how it was twisted and and and so.
>> Um, like if anybody wants to check it out, I don't know if you got a chance to listen to it, but the the White Hayes thing.
>> Yeah, the White Hayes episode on This American Life.
>> This American Life is they interviewed me and how I I got invol, you know, basically with one of the founders. They were calling me the spiritual advisor, the pope of of the Proud Boys, just because I was talking to my and I'm briefly, I mean, this was a bunch of white boys who just did were afraid of women. They were in cells and and and uh afraid of women, afraid of getting rejected. And so they, you know, and this would be a situation where they would just be scattered across the world. But with the internet, they were able to bring bring these weirdos together and then they, you know, they were great with computers 'cause what else would they be good at? And then they were able to organize online globally. Um, so I had pulled back from the I, you know, like they like I would go on Gavin McInness's show and it would, you know, and they would sanitize it where there would be no racial stuff being said. But then and then I'm I'm doing my own thing like like I'm doing my own podcast, doing shows. I, you know, I was acting. I did the movie Fighting. I was in Power. Like I was doing my own thing. So I wasn't monitoring. And then I would come back again. And then the P the Proud Boys were were every time I came back, it was a little more developed. I stopped in the on the Facebook page, right? And this is how long ago it was, a Facebook page, and I'm like [ __ ] monkey, this that and I was like, whoa, whoa. And I spoke to Gavin McInness. Gavin did an open letter saying that we need to move away from this racial stuff. We can't have that. Which is crazy to me that he actually did an open letter. Right.
>> Mhm.
>> And then I chilled, kept doing my life. I went back again and then they had the song and the name and it, you know, it just kept evolving. And uh and then the next thing I know, I I I saw the racial stuff and I started distancing myself. The next time the next time I heard anything about the Proud Boys, the FBI was at my house. Not the FBI. The FBI was in my house trying to get me to do Black Clansmen and go back in because they were in there was a chapter in Venezuela trying to overthrow the government. So, and and this was like something that happened and had bubbled up. It was a fester. So, I understand the importance of words and how they're taken and stuff like that. Um, and I think um, you know, I I I think that sometimes Garry is, first of all, I also told you, you know, you were telling me about you having AUD. Gaffy has.
>> ADHD.
>> He has extreme ADHD. Um, right.
>> You know, a lot of times I'm on the phone with him talking about something serious and I can hear him scrolling on Instagram while he's while he's, you know, and I I love him to death 'cause he got a good heart and he's a good dude and he's standup dude and whatever. But,
>> Um.
>> You you you take your friends as you take them and with their flaws and stuff like that. And there's been so many times that I've,
>> You know, pulled on the reins or be like kick him under the table or whatever. But there's a reason also why why Godfrey had is in in has been in the industry for 34 years. Probably one of the most talented and most entertaining comics that I've ever seen in my life. And I mean that bar none.
>> Right.
>> Oh yeah. But the fact that he.
>> That he's just breaking now.
>> Right.
>> Because.
>> That happens.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, well, well, I'm saying it it it didn't happen because a lot of times Godfrey has put his foot in his mouth.
>> Yes. And that's and that's the thing. Hold on. I want to stop right there because I got to acknowledge these super chats. There's well over a thousand people watching right now. And if you have not clicked that like button or subscribe button, I invite you to right now. Super chats are getting prioritized. Tam G uh been a you better I think a YouTube member. Been a YouTube member for two months. Said, "May God bless you, my brother in Christ. Keep going. Appreciate you. Thank you for the love." This is uh Sir Repro Music. Thank you for the $5 super sticker. Really appreciate that. Um, Yogi Fish with the $2 super chat said, "Respected Dante for doing this interview." Absolutely. 'Cause he doesn't have to be here. Happy he is here 'cause like these are not easy questions to answer and he is not Godfrey. Even though we we're going to get to absolutely everything. If you have a question that you want to have asked directly, make sure that you hit the super chats because I mean, just in the two seconds I've been talking, like another 55 messages have just popped up. Sexy red with the $5 tuba chat said, "There's a time and a place for everything. Godfree showed FBA what is behind the curtain. His true African colors are." So to that point, and again, I just want you to answer this question. What went through your head when he started going off?
>> Uh, he he's he's angry, upset, and he's going off again. And this is probably not going to be good.
>> Right? So to that point, again, and in all fairness, you're right. I do have AUDHD.
>> And it's hard because I and I told you this. I'll I'll do an entire, you know, I'll do a two-hour uh talk.
>> And then I'll do another 45 minutes of Q&A and I'll get off the stage and my team will be like, "Yo, Dave, you killed that." I'll be like, "Cool, what'd I say?"
>> Or I'll go do the Breakfast Club or when I come to do uh your show next week.
>> I'll be sitting there and I like I'll go back and watch the replay like, "Damn, that [ __ ] spitting." 'Cause I'm not there. So, I get that part of it. However, I do still in the back of my mind and and maybe I've gone through different training and therapies than what Godfrey has gone through.
>> Oh, definitely. But I would say.
>> I'm still responsible.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I get it.
>> For everything that I say. I'm responsible for everything that I say as a business owner, right? And I've got a team. I've got people like I've got clipper farms and those are people who just take um YouTube videos and they clip them up for for coaches, speakers, authors, entertainers. You get what I'm saying? If somebody messes up, they're not talking to G. They're not talking to Mich. They're not talking to Carla. They're not talking to They're talking to me because I am the face on the package. It ain't in Dante we trust. It's in Godfrey we trust. Then.
>> How is it he has ADHD when he goes off on foundational black Americans? Especially that woman who called in and he got upset, got triggered about the whole Karen Hunter thing. And for the record, I don't know the lady, but I don't really like her. I don't think we see eye to eye on a lot of stuff. And I think she's got an issue with strong black men, but that's a whole another conversation. He took it out. Give me.
>> Thank you. I'll be here all week. The ve is delicious. Too a minimum. But here's my problem. Better yet, I'm going to show you better than I can tell you. Godfrey has no problem at any time having ADHD when he's going off on black people. But where was the ADHD when he's talking to Libo? Let's watch.
>> A formal apology to you. I have no problem with that because I appreciate you. First of all, I'm having fun with you. I think you're awesome. So, we're going to be friends. We already know. We're going to be hanging out. So, but I want to issue an apology of not knowing and being emotional just as a protection of another comedian like, "Yo, man." 'Cause you know, as a composer.
>> You know, you could be with Han Zimmer going, "Nah, man. Sue them some." Right. And I understand that. And I'm in the comedy world. He's like an NFL. He's going to talk like with his bros. So, I want to apologize to you.
>> For being misinformed and reacting that way. But now that I know it and like I said, this is this is to bridge. This is what we do. We all the same. We come the same club. We are real family and we're supposed to talk like this.
>> I was supposed to.
>> You're supposed to call me out on.
>> And I and I and my man shake your hand, man. I I.
>> Let's stop right there. You're supposed to call me out on my ish.
>> That's what he said. I didn't make that up. You You agree that that's not AI. That that's an actual. Right. So, he understands enough to respect this African man because the other African guy made fun. He was trying to make a joke about whatever. Right.
>> How come? 'Cause you said, not me, you said that Godfrey has embraced the community. He loves the community. He's well read. He understands where it is. He was born in Nebraska. All of these things.
>> Why is it he does not have the wherewithal to say, "You know what, y'all? Maybe what I said was extremely insensitive. Maybe what I said was disrespectful. I can see how y'all feel that way. I got frustrated in the moment." For the people who have broken their ass, and I've said it thousands of times over the past three decades. For the people who have broken their asses and shed blood for me to be here, I sincerely and humbly apologize. How come he can't do that with us, but he can do it with a guy he only met once?
>> I I honestly uh to be I mean, to be honor, I don't perceive the fact that he wouldn't do the same for FBAs if he was expl if it was explained to him. Well, I mean, and that and that is exactly why I reached out to you.
>> Right?
>> And and and again, uh to be to be completely clear, I get the question.
>> Yeah. No, I just want to let the audience know to be completely clear. Next Tuesday, I'm going to New York. We're going to sit down and do God free trust. That's confirmed, correct?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, pretty much. And I mean, we we are going to come on. I mean, we we're setting it up for next week, but I mean, sometimes he's, you know, depending on if he gets a part or whatever, whatever. But yeah, for all intents and purposes.
>> For all intents and purposes, right now, um, we're going to sit down and have that conversation. But my whole thing is if he understands there.
>> To apologize, nobody should have to point this out to him if he has such an understanding of our culture as that would be.
>> How How old are you, Dave? How old are you?
>> Uh, I'll be 49 in November.
>> Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna maybe I'm gonna give you some old some old [ __ ] wisdom. It. What you think what you think [ __ ] should have at a period of time, they don't always have it. They they don't it it they can't always put the pieces together on their own. Um, and uh, what I found is in in general, like I I say this all the time that true I have the saying I say, true wisdom is the understanding of underlying concepts. How they relate to situations that seem irrelevant but really are not. So you'll find people who are really good at one thing, but their knowledge is compartmentalized in a particular area, but they're not able to take those cosmic and universal truths and and move them to other situations. Simply just can't do it. Can't, you know what I mean? I've I've been in situations where um I've had discussions with somebody. I was hanging out with a bunch of surgeons and we somehow we were talking about cars and I can like if you know something. I because I was a biomed, I was a bio uh gen biomed um that was my my my major in college and.
>> So I would, you know, we're talking about cars and we're talking about The cooling system is in the car, radiator, the antifreeze, stuff like that. But it works the same way that the body cools the body where the the human body releases water through the pores.
>> The the heat.
>> Um, evaporates the water off the skin and and as it evaporates, it takes the heat away. The same way that the body, the the a car will do it with a radiator. The the radiator heat goes to the to a radiator with wide surface area. The air bounces off and it cools the car. But I can put those things together that seem very irrelevant, right? But a lot of people can't. There's people that compartmentalize. I mean, I find this especially like I do a lot of rel when you know, when I do the relationship consulting, I'll find I'll be I I get a lot of Indian dudes because you know, they have an antiquated way in which they approach women and then all of a sudden, you don't have those you don't have those um arranged marriages and you can't hit your you can't throw a rock at your woman 'cause she's acting up no more and now she's in America and she's she she has her freedom and she's talking back and you you ain't at that game to be like, "Hey yo, let me let me holl at you for a second." So it that it takes a certain level of confidence, but the same way you would handle that is the same way that you program.
>> It's it's logic. I mean, it's a if not a then b, if not b then you know.
What I mean? It's and so a lot of times I'll explain it to them. I'll explain, you know, relationships in the context of, but a lot of people can't do that. And, um, and and that's why we, you know, I mean, one of the things that I say is two things that you will have to do for the rest of your life is ask for forgiveness and give forgiveness.
>> That's that is the human that is the human condition.
>> 100%. Let's let's go to some super chats here. This is, uh, Keith Cord 6254 with the $20 super chat said, "All we needed from God was to take accountability and apologize the same way he asked Vlad to do when Vlad was, uh, dis— Vlad was disrespecting the minister." Let me keep going. Uh, CJ OJ with the $10 super chat said, "I think Godfrey made a mistake and should have apologized and left it there, but he has a temper with everything, not just this. He's pro-black and supportive of all black people. David made a mistake, too."
Man, respectfully, we going to get to the David O. Yellow thing. We not there yet, but we going to get there because I, uh, April Ray, that's a hell of a name. $2 super chat says, "Dante stands on business." So that's a salute to you, good brother. And assistant to the HNIC said, "Godfrey said what? Rehearsing and reading don't control your heart. # God your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life." They get more numbers. This talk will be regular degular. Uh, C— C repro music says, "What's an honorary FBA?" No, he not. Stop it.
>> Yeah, no, you you you can't side-line your way into a bloodline.
Um, I'll be chill with the $4.99 super chat. You're better. Thank you. Union member says, "Great show. Keep cooking." And Big Hurt with the $5 super chat. Uh, thank you so much. Says, "Godfrey is not the FBA whisperer because he reads FBA books and met FBA icons."
Yeah, that was the other thing. It almost sound like, do you remember Donald Sterling?
>> Yes.
Well, you know, I, I did this for these black people and Magic Johnson and like, who you met does not mean that you could just say whatever the hell you want.
>> I'm not going to I'm not going to argue for stuff that I just, you know, that I wouldn't say for myself.
>> And if it gets too hot, I, I in a minute, I'll be like, I ain't say it. You know what I mean? That's always I always got that.
>> You mean like when Godfrey said, "I didn't tell him to say that." Black people, you know, southern black people, you, they take a Nigerian accent and you, and you slow it down. Let me tell you something. I, you know, there's a, uh, there's a, you know, your friends, right?
>> Right.
>> I, uh, and I spoke to Gaffrey like when that went down and he was going down, he was going down the list, right? Southern or British, this that, uh, Jamaican, Caribbean, whatever, right? And he's going down and listen, he's sitting there watching the the looking at the card and he's reading it off, right?
>> Um, when I saw him, I knew he wasn't, he wasn't, uh, present.
Like, I just knew he wasn't. And I mean, it's just, you just know because you're around people so much. And it's just like, for instance, if, like you said, you've done whole talks and where you, you be cooking. I don't know, your man, your boy might be like, "Oh, he's cooking." He don't even know what, like, he's just on some stream of consciousness. He has no, he'll get off and not.
>> I haven't read this piece since '91. I'm with you.
>> Right. So, so when I saw him sitting back in the chair, you know what I mean? And I'm not making excuses for it because, you know, what's wrong is wrong. But when I—
>> Little bit, little bit.
Dante, no, I'm not. Doug. I'm really not. I mean, I, I look, it is what it is, and it's, it's wrong and it's just not the best thing to say. But was wrong choice of words, wrong energy, wrong, uh, level of anger. But this, you know, this is one of the things that I say on my podcast all the time. Never let emotion have a seat at the table because the minute you, the minute you allow emotion to have a seat at the table, um, you can, you can make, you can count on your your proficiency at what you do know, the knowledge that you know. Cut it down to, cut it down two-thirds. Cut it down to a third because you, the fight or flight thing happens and you can't even access the knowledge that you have because you're in that fight or flight mode.
>> And—
>> 100%.
>> You know, and I'm always saying that. I mean, that you have to remove yourself from, which is an impossibility because we all get emotional about certain things. But the, the point is, if you do that, this is where the mistakes are made.
>> And—
>> There's no doubt in my mind that, um, what I'm saying about what his feelings are. I mean, that's my man. I mean, we, we speak to each other if not every day, every other day.
>> And it's just, it's just not his energy. It's just not, he just don't get down like that.
>> Um,
>> And you—
>> So he just had, he just had—
No, I mean, listen, you've known him longer than I have. I've only met the man three times in my life. I've met him more times than he's been to Nigeria, apparently.
>> Right.
>> But—
$10 super chat from the Ice Man said, "Dante's on more grown man [ __ ] than Godfrey right now. Respect to him, but Godfrey is too old to need a go-between 'cause he didn't need one for Label. #305 #B1 #CutTheCheck." So that's my point. He, he did—
>> Let me explain something. Did you realize that when he talked, when he talked to Label, right?
When Label was like, "Oh, they was it was a joke." D with no consideration of that the that the thing would be, that the that the—
>> It would blow up like it did, which is the same thing with Yellow.
And neither did I until it did. But I, but my thing is, if you, if you, like I said, you got the rest of your life, you going to ask for forgiveness or give forgiveness, um, or not. You know what I mean? But the reality is, we make mistakes and the ability or the desire to recognize that you made a mistake and fix it and and is is what it is. So—
>> Right. And that's the thing. He recognized that mistake. And maybe do, do we need to have the threat of suing him for $27 million so that we can—
Because—
>> No, but what I'm saying is, I'm trying to make it make sense because if he understands in one instance that something blew up that he didn't intend for it to blow up and something that happened set off somebody or a group of somebody's or a lineage of somebody's who did not like, and I'm not talking about the folks on the extreme. And I'm not talking about the folks who are insulted. People of my bloodline, people of what you say is your bloodline feeling like you out of pocket. Like, homie, fair enough.
Like, what, what the [ __ ]? You know what I'm saying? But he knew enough to make sure that he could apologize to this man, reach out and shake his hand. But he could not, he has not. It's been, it's been about three weeks, bro.
Been about three weeks and we have not gotten an apology for him. Number one, disrespecting a black woman. Number two, acting like he, he's, uh, somehow lost something for standing up for black women when black women are one of the top advertising demographics on the face of the planet. That doesn't hold up well under scrutiny. And then number three, to act as if it's somehow our fault that we had a reaction to his ADHD that he has yet to find a way to control when it comes to—
>> I don't think it's any of those things. I, I—
>> Okay, tell me what you think it is. I don't want to put words in your mouth.
>> It's not, it's just not being aware. It's just a lack of self-awareness. I mean, I often, I often when I w— I watch him on stage and we were talking about this. I watch him do an hour and a half.
I watch him do eight shows, an hour and a half, different material for eight shows, and then watch him—
Oversight and say something that's out of pocket. And and I'm going, "Yo, you know," and and we have a relationship where I go, "Uh, yo, um, yo, I'll call him up. Yo, yo, you got a minute?" I and he'll be like, "Uh, what I do?" You know,
>> What I, what I do?
And I'll explain it to him and he'll go, "But we have the relationship." Um, you know, we have a relationship where that—
That is the case. He, like, he like my little brother. And I mean, it's the only way I could do it, a way I could say it. I'm just saying, and and never is is there a situation where it's, I've never seen him be malicious in that way or it's just not his, it's just not his way. And to tell you honestly, I'm more malic— like, like I'm, I'm about, you know, like if you pushing up, I'm about to smoke. Like I have a, I have a—
>> And I mean, you know, I get that a lot. And then, and it's, it's so, it's like, um—
You know, I have this theory. I go, this is a theory called 95, two, and three. 95% of the [ __ ] in the world don't want no smoke. 95%. Uh, 5% of the people in the world want is about that smoke. Right. Right.
3% of them are sociopaths who just want to smoke and indiscriminately step on toes. And then there's 2% that protect the 95 from the sociopaths. Right. I like to think of myself. I mean, I'm an old man now, but I mean, I've always been that 2%. Right.
>> Right.
>> 100%. So when I got, when I'm, you know, like when I'm, if I'm disrespectful,
>> I'm pro, like, like if, if I'm disrespectful, I am not only disres— I'm indignant.
About my disrespect because I want you to know, [ __ ] you.
I want you to understand. I mean, [ __ ] you and whatever, wherever it goes from there. Um—
>> As a staff freaking Label and crew. I get it.
>> No, it ain't, it ain't like I'm not, you, you haven't misconstrued my disrespect. I don't like you. And I, um, and Godfrey is just not that. It's just not, I mean, that's why he's my man, you know? That's why when we, when we go to Baltimore, I go with him because, you know, my head is on a swivel, you know what I'm saying? And he's not, I, I give you the example. We was in, uh, we was at the Baltimore Comedy Factory. I love, I love Baltimore 'cause Baltimore's hood like Brooklyn. There's a, there's a very thin line between Brooklyn and Baltimore. And, uh, we went there and and and, um, and you know, there, it's a lot of hood comics that go to Baltimore Comedy Factory, but and Godfrey is one of the few that where his material is is just not that. But he gets, he does, he stays within the context of his own self and his own personality and he, he lifts them up.
>> Um, I have a problem with a lot of black comics who who bring them down as opposed to lift them up, you know? Right. Like, uh, I don't, I mean, there's a couple of stories, but, um, but my point was, we were, there was some, some grimy [ __ ] like, you know, hanging around the green room.
So I'm on the swivel and I'm, you know, and good to meet, you know, and I'm watching this, like I can tell when there's some real [ __ ] in the room, you know? It, there's a disturbance in the force.
And I'm looking, and I'm looking. I'm like, "Grey, yo, get, get your stuff together. Get your." He's like, "What? What? What?" I'm like, "Get your clothes. Get your [ __ ] together, right? 'Cause I think something's going to jump off." And the dude comes in and I go, "Yo, yo, what's up?" He was like, "Yo,
>> Could we get a picture?"
>> And I'm like, "You grimy [ __ ] y'all [ __ ] Like, come on, man. Like, what is you doing? Like, come on. Like, you got me. You know what I'm saying? I'm, I'm cocking the Glock and and this, you know, and and they just want a picture with him. So, um—
I had another situation where we had the conversation about hip hop and Puerto Ricans and years, a couple years ago, we had, uh, Crazy Legs on it. Right.
>> Right.
>> And, uh, there was a dude that came with Crazy Legs. Godfrey says, "I don't like nobody." Yo, you don't like nobody. I said, "No, it's not that I don't like nobody. It's just you missing the clues, dude. You, you, you wide open and I'm not because I, I know what it is. You know, you know, I've been shot at. I've been, you know what I mean? I've been stabbed twice. That's just my head."
So, um, but the dude came in with with Crazy Legs and he go, I go, "Hey, uh, I never met him." I was like, "Crazy, pleasure to meet you, man. Big fan." Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He had this other dude named Rob, Rob Puerto Rico or Rob Cuban or whatever the [ __ ] his name was. And I was like, "Oh, man. Good to meet you, too." And he goes,
>> He goes, I go, "What's your name?" And he goes, "Oh, I'm Crazy Legs." And I'm go, "What do you mean, crazy?" He goes, "Yo, I'm, I'm go—" He goes, "Oh, well, I'm, I'm, I'm, uh, Rob's whatever the [ __ ] his name was." And I go,
>> And I realized that he, he got a bug up his ass because Garfrey was saying that h— that hip-hop was foundationally black. Like, you can't, it is what it is, right?
>> Right.
>> And he was, and so he had said it on the show and so they were coming to put their two cents in about this is how we were in the, um, you know, how, how hip-hop grew. Right.
>> Right. Which Crazy Legs said an interesting thing. I won't get into it unless you don't want to get into it, but, but the point was, um, the dude that was with him had a bug up his ass and he was giving me shade. So I was like, "What's your name?" Rob Venezuelan. What the [ __ ] do you like? So now I'm on full [ __ ] you mode. Right.
>> Right. This [ __ ]. Then he goes like, "Yo, is your man grief?" Because your man gonna sit in on— Nah, that [ __ ] ain't sitting in the [ __ ] out of here. Go, go, go in. So now I'm, I'm back on the block, you know what I mean? Right. I'm like, "Fuck you." And Gry's like, I was like, and I— So I whispered to go, "I don't like that dude."
>> Why? He just got here. He's looking at me like he just— It was three, two minutes. What the— I was like, "Dog, just understand what I'm saying." Naturally, at the end, he tried to [ __ ] go at Goffrey at the end of the show. Yo, you said this. Like, yo, man, shut up. Like, I'm now I'm punking him, right?
But what I'm saying is, just this, there, this, he just doesn't have that awareness all the time. And and it's not, it's really not personal and it's really not, it's, he misses it. And one of the things that I've known him, there, there's never a situation where he, he's been pointed out to show, um, to show where, yo, this was kind of [ __ ] up where he won't apologize. And I don't, I don't see the situation where where he wouldn't. I just, but now, here's the other thing. I mean, we're, you in real time, we're talking about this. Is I don't know what the clock is. That you know—
>> Where—
>> No, no, no. Let me help you out because apparently Dante don't know, ladies and gentlemen, that we're now on what is it? Day three. Day three. Listen, man. We got a theme song and everything.
>> Let's give him, let's give it to him.
Okay. But—
>> All right. In all seriousness, let's go.
>> What I'm saying is, since then, I know that he has—
He has been out to LA to shoot three podcasts there. He's done, uh, [ __ ]. I think he just did Drink Champs. He just did such like, whereas, and and I mean, his sk— and I'm not making, like, again, it sounds like I'm making excuses, but I mean, I've cked, I've called—
>> Nah, I'm not. It just is what—
>> You said. It sounds like you're making excuses. I'm agreeing with you. I said a little bit. I didn't say you putting a cape on for him. I ain't say you was chilling for him. I ain't say you was dancing for him. I agreed with your assessment that it sounds like—
>> Okay. All right. Fair enough.
>> Bit.
>> Words mean things. See how I know that? That's that's that's because I got my AUDHD medicine. We going to get God some. I'mma bring HIM SOME SAMPLES.
>> I'M GOING BRING HIM SOME SAMPLES.
>> You giving me that Philly smoke now. Stop.
>> YOU KNOW IT'S LOVE. REAL QUICK BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, I got to acknowledge these folks because these people are in here spending their time with us. We love to play. Thank you so much. You just became a YouTube member. You better than a YouTube member. Thank you for being here. Jazzy Sunflowers, the $5 super chat said, "Great live. As Godfrey apologized to that very nice lady caller? He was extremely rude. She didn't deserve that. I'm late and will watch the replay." Before you answer that, let's give some context. I want to make sure that I am— Oh, not that one. Where is it? No, it's this one. Here we go. All right. So, I am going to play here. Let's do it like this. All right. Shout out to False Set Media for this clip. Um, her, her saying that, "Look at her now. She wants to jump on David Ayolo 'cause she don't have nothing else to talk about. So she gonna jump on my podcast, which is a dope ass podcast." And by the way, David has apologized, but British black people do not have a perspective of American black. But the fact is—
>> The fact is that we, these mistakes need to happen so we can talk about it. So we can have people going, "Damn, I up."
>> Yes, they definitely have to. But the person in their apology actually has to be sincere. And I would say—
>> From David's apology, he still kind of skirted around any fault on his own. He's like—
>> And again, the David part ain't a, ain't a, ain't the issue.
>> That's not the point. The, the issue as far as I can see it, um, is that how can I put this? You were in the room and then now it's like, okay, Karen Hunter jumped on it because you got a beef with Karen Hunter. You're making everybody else who's pissed off at what David Aello said pay for it. And again, I know a lot of people may not have seen or heard what David Oello said. So I want to play the interaction and then I want to get your feedback. Then we're gonna go to super chats. All right. Fair enough.
>> Sure.
>> All right, let's roll.
>> Father,
>> Hey, how are you today?
>> Go and get my king.
>> Go and get my—
>> Imagine you have to go and get the king.
>> Oh yeah, go and get my king. I don't know where it is. You'll be—
>> Flogged.
>> American—
>> Father, or just American?
>> No, American. There's an American accent. Did I try and be Godfrey?
>> Uh-oh.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
>> Uh-oh. Oh, get on back now.
>> What are you saying now?
>> I don't know.
>> I don't know.
>> HOW DO I SOUND?
>> I DON'T KNOW. HOW DO YOU SOUND, GODFREY? WHY ARE WE DOING THIS AT THIS POINT?
>> WHY ARE WE GETTING MORE CRAZY EVERY TIME I'M TALKING LIKE—
>> How about Southerner?
>> Uh, how about what?
>> A Southerner.
>> Well, now this the part.
>> Listen to your corner and watch for the hook. My own my being a southern starting out.
>> Well, you know what? You know what happens to southern [ __ ].
>> If you take the, if you take the Nigerian accent—
Like this, and you slow it down, you put a lot of slavery in there.
>> Facts.
>> And then you start to, uh—
Dante, did you hear that? Did you, did you, did you hear the facts part?
>> I know you're saying he wasn't there.
>> [ __ ] you know I felt it. YOU, YOU ALREADY KNOW I FELT WHEN THIS GUY I WAS LIKE, "OH, THIS [ __ ] DIDN'T REALLY FACTS. THIS IS WHY—"
I'm going to tell you when I'm looking at Godfrey and he's sitting back reading that card, I already know. I already know he's not there. Like he's not, his his his focus is not there. And I'm not saying that's a, that's, he should be there. I mean, this is something that I took because when I, when I, I spoke to him afterwards, I was, he was like, he literally said to me, "What did I say?" And I was like, "Ah, nigga." You know what I mean? But, you know, this is, this is my life, too. 'Cause I, you know, I love him to death and and I, you know, I got his back and I'm, and I'm always, yo, come on, dog. What do you, you know, think? Hold on. Let me get to these super chats and I'm going to, I'll play the rest of this clip. Let's see here. Um—
>> Hold on one second.
FU2 says, "Goffrey was a premed psychiatry major. He's read all of these books, but now when it comes to foundational black Americans being disrespected, he doesn't know anything." Um, $5 super chat from from Nene 28. "First time catching you live. Is Dante saying that Godfrey is being disrespectful because he's not situationally aware?"
>> Sometimes. Yes.
>> You want to answer that?
>> Yes, sometimes. Yeah, definitely. That's exactly right.
>> Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Nene. I appreciate—
>> Thanks for helping me put it in words.
>> Uh, Teddy P $2 says, "Uh, David and Dante on the same pod needs to happen." Are you talking about Oello or me? 'Cause I'm Dave. I'm not David.
>> My mama and the IRS call me David. That's about—
The Iceman, uh, with the $5 super chat. "No shade to Dante, but in the words of a wise man, this could have been an email." You know what? Y'all going to be nice to my guest. He ain't got to be here. Be nice.
>> See, the here, see this is the thing. When you playing some [ __ ] [ __ ], I just let it take the $5. If you need to give me a little smoke so my man professor could get get the $5. It's fine. [ __ ]. You [ __ ] go take a pottery class, [ __ ]. Shut up, stupid.
>> Yo, that's wild. Let's see here. Dimple 718 with the $10 super chat said, "Uh, salute to you, Dave. Godfrey should have been here cleaning this mess up. Not you, Dante. You're somewhat guilty by association. This is why we delineate from tethers. FBAs are standing on business."
>> Shout out to Dimples. You don't got nothing to say about Dimples.
>> So, just so you know, you—
She's a cutie, so I'm not going to give her all the smoke.
>> And she's, it's 718, so you already know it's New York.
>> That's what I'm saying. The reality was I reached out to Dave. Yes, he did.
>> And and I reached out to Dave to bring him on, um, to have the conversation. And then Dave asked me to come on his show. So, but you know what I'm saying? This is what I'm saying with the internet. It's time like if you don't know that I reach, you know what I'm saying? It's—
>> Yeah. No, he, he, he definitely reached out like 'cause he, he, he came through. He, he reached out and then I invited him on because I didn't know when we were going to be able or if we were going to be able to have an infree re— we would plan on doing it tomorrow, but, but—
>> There was already something that was—
>> We had something planned and stuff like that and a lot of times the podcast is very impromptu because that's it, it is what it is. You know what I'm saying? It, it, you know, that sometimes it's not really like it's not like we produce the show. It's not really guest-based produced. It's, it's usually just us talking, yapping. But, um, uh, but, but I reached out and then Dave said, "Well, come on my show, you know, we, when you're coming," and I was like, "I'm good Monday. Let's do it." So, um—
And again, you know, 'cause he, he, I'm happy that he is here because then we can have a conversation. So a lot of this, you know, gets out of the way. Um, but my main thing, you know, my main thing is understanding that one,
>> He reached out to me because he already knew. And the other part of that is like, 'cause there are people like, "Well, you ain't grinding him up. You didn't this." I said, "First of all, I ain't gotten in the room with God for yet." And to me, I don't need to to like, I'm, I'm almost 50 years old. Me yelling and screaming and doing all that extra [ __ ] just to make a point like, like, "Yo, you out of pocket and you need to apologize." It's a bit much. I don't really, you know what I mean? So, what I am going to do is still be exactly who I am, which is, you know, Dave being Dave and calling balls and strikes and saying, "Listen,
>> Um, yeah." No, homie. Like, that's not going to fly. Speaking of which, this is what I did want to ask you before we play the rest of this clip. All right. Uh, matter of fact, let me see if I can, I can airdrop. I only think I need to airdrop. I might be able to just pull it up here. Hold on one second. Let me see. Bear with me. Hold on. Let me see here. Um, people you, yeah. Okay. So, I found like, so this man has been following me for years. So my question is, did he unfollow me and refollow me two days ago or was that you?
>> It probably was me.
>> What'd you do that for, Dante?
>> I don't, I, I probably did it by accident. Honestly.
>> Oh, okay. Just, just making sure.
>> I probably did it by accident.
>> I was just making sure he wasn't trying to do no cleanup.
>> No, no, because I was, I was looking for your number and I didn't have it and I, that's probably me. I, I, I'll take care of that later. But, uh—
>> Wait, let me see something real quick.
>> Hold on. Oh, why you doing that? The, uh, the John JC says, "Why Dave in his son's room?" First of all, I don't have sons. I have daughters. Second of all, this is my room. The difference between me and you is I'm rich, [ __ ], and I got what I want. I got Kill My Girl on my wall. I got a Stormbreaker over here. I have Ted Debiasi's actual million-dollar championship on my wall, which you can't afford. Um, I got Iron Man. I got Captain America shield. I got black Captain America in like, I got what I want 'cause I can do that. So I'm not in my son's room, you know? I'm actually going to be in your mama's house later. So meet me there.
Sorry. But this is my thing with it, you know, like, um, like I, you know, like I don't, it don't bother me like, you know, I get a, somebody's getting at me with a letter T, right? He, he don't even got a picture in his profile and I'm not going to, yeah. I don't really give—
>> I mean, when there's an opportunity to be funny and roast somebody, I'm going to just be funny and roast somebody. Always bet on black.
>> Yeah. Uh, 499 Super Test says, "I bet Flea God is situationally aware when he's in front of those white tea folks. The damage control is not working. FBA has spoken. Dante is questionable."
>> Listen, again, the man reached out to me. The man reached out to me. He, he could have just let this whole thing blow over.
>> As fine as she is, I could— Let's, let's talk about it. See what kind of questions you got.
>> I want to know. Hit me up in the DMs. Let's talk about what, what your questions are. If you have any questions, I'd love—
>> You don't want to talk about no questions.
>> I'd love to answer anything you want to know.
>> Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. All right. So, let me, let me get back because I, I got to make sure I play the rest of this because I don't want to leave folks hanging for people who didn't see it. All right. So, we're, we're back to this. Let's roll this clip.
>> It's the business, right?
>> This is what wants to happen to the Nigerian accent,
>> Man, that's how it goes. This because literally if you're down here and you start to speed it up and then you start to take all the thing out of it, then before you know it, you're talking like this. Now we are free again. Now we are free.
>> Yep. Right there.
>> Yeah.
>> Right. Yep.
>> Do you see how you see how uncomfortable you are right now?
>> Well—
>> That's how we, that's how we felt watching this.
>> Sure. But let me, let me say this. When I, when he goes, did this, I, I already know he's not locked in, locked in. He's just, he's not—
>> It's just performative. It's like he's—
>> I, you know, I, man, and this is from going on the road with him watching him do comedy when he's not, it's just, he's not even paying attention right now. I, I, I just know my man when he's, when he's locked in. Not. And this might, I think this was, this was like the third, uh, hour and a half, two hour podcast he did that day and this dude came late and I mean, and not, you know what I'm saying? There's a whole lot of—
>> There, there's a whole lot of things behind the scenes that have happened that nobody knows.
>> I mean, Dante, why isn't Dante? Yeah, I reached out like—
>> But you don't hit me.
>> If you don't know, you don't know. And then you start, yo, let me explain something to y'all. Everybody out there, the internet ain't real. It ain't real. All of the rah rah [ __ ], the this, that, yo [ __ ], all that beef, this, that, look, [ __ ], 6ix9ine turned in Crips and Bloods and he's walking around with cash. I think he got his ass beat once. EVERYBODY'S GANGSTER. I don't want to hear about anybody gangster. And 6ix9ine is still walking around with [ __ ] rainbow teeth where he in like, stop it.
>> Said rainbow teeth is wild.
>> All right, hold on real quick. Let's, uh, let's, let's, uh, go—
>> I, I think that there are a lot of, um, online gangsters, both, um—
>> Broadband bullies.
>> That's wild. I like that. That's going in the lexicon. But let's, let's, let's get back to business. We are released.
>> Hey,
>> Nigerian father.
>> That whole clip.
>> It's cringe.
>> It's cringe. Speaking of which, and hold up. It just hit me, bro. Here is where the Godfrey grew up in Chicago argument falls apart. And I'm going to show you exactly where. Hold on. Wait one second. Not here. Hold on. Um, let's see here. Let's, let's, let's find it in real time, people. Hold on. Uh, 154. And, uh, guys, keep the super chats coming. Keep your questions coming. Let's find it. Hold on. I just, Oh, here we go. Here we go.
>> But it's not always—
>> You imitate your dad. I imitate my dad. And we are exactly Akbar. Akbar is where that entire argument, I grew up around black people, fall apart. Because respectfully, Akbar is the most milktoast generic Great Value NFL player I have ever seen in my life. This man does not have a clue about anything. And it's like he's willful about it. Even when he said, and I, I gotta pull that clip. I didn't have time to pull that clip. Um, even when he said, when, when Godfrey was breaking down to him very kindly, very succinctly, very eloquently, in my personal opinion, the contributions that foundational black Americans have made. Sorry, this is the wrong one.
>> Did you play that?
>> I'm going to. No, I'm going to play. Oh, I'm going to play it.
>> Because I'm, I'm looking for it. That's why I have you up here. But that foundational black Americans have made. Let me see. Uh, Godfrey explains, um, black American son.
>> I want to just point out again that young lady who has questions, don't forget to hit me up on your DM. We talk about your questions.
>> You, you're talking about always better on black.
>> Oh, I just, if you got any questions, just—
>> Right.
>> You want to know anything,
>> Just feel free. You, you have, you have a special press conference after this just for her. Um, Elevated Engineering 6515 with the 499 Chat said, "Let's go, Dave. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to pull this clip. Hold tight one second. Let me see." But you follow. And I, I want to say this is interesting because, um, even the, so I think also what, what spiced the whole thing up was—
>> The fact that this, this, um, the chick that called in—
>> Was chilling for Karen.
It's so easy if you, if you look at like Karen's fans, they think Karen walks on water. And don't get me wrong, I mean, like, I mean, I got my issues. My, my issues, I've said this and I've said this to her, so I'm not, you know, saying nothing behind her back, but my issue with her is interpersonal. And what you, what I, what you said is I agree 100%. She has a, she has a problem with strong black men.
>> Um,
>> And, um, I co-hosted her show for five years plus the Friday and, and literally while I was there, she would be interviewing other people while I was on air, like for my position. So I was there. Me and then there's also, uh, my boy Lamont who does who does a show with, uh, Dr. Carr.
>> Lamont.
>> Um, oh God, Lamont King.
>> King. Yes.
>> Yeah, that's my man.
>> So, we, we were,
>> Lamont 25 years.
>> We were on, we were on the show every Friday and, and she would be interviewing other comics while we were on in the studio. And then, so, and a lot of, and I, several times I've had situations where people from Karen's crew. Now, let me, let me, let me give kudos because her, her Nubia and her platform where she's taught netaroo and the fact that she does, uh, in class with car, I mean, she's done some great things for the, um, for the culture.
>> But interpersonally, it's like if, if I'm your man, like, why would you, why would you interview people? Me, you know? And then when I got fired, it was, it wasn't a phone call from her. It was, it was her, her production guy, white kid, who called me up. Yeah, we're going to go in another direction. So five years I'm showing up every Friday religiously. Never got a dime, never got parking, never got gas, nothing. Right. Showing up, bringing the funny, and then you're in, and you're interviewing people. Um, you're interviewing people while me and Lamont was in the studio. And Lamont was lucky enough, I mean, I won't say lucky because he, he put the time in, but, um, uh, the, the Black Eagle, I forget the brother's name, who when he passed away on Sirius Radio, that spot opened up. And, uh, and then Lamont and Dr. Carr were able to, that's why they, they do their show on, uh, on Sirius.
>> Um, but, you know, after Godfrey went off, I hadn't spoke to, I hadn't spoke to Karen. Like, I called Karen 'cause I thought, even if you don't want me to be on your show, you don't owe me nothing, but I thought we would still be close. And I had called her, never returned my calls. Never this, never that. You know what I'm saying? Man, was just like, once she fired me, it was just nothing. And then when Godfrey freaked out, she text me, "Yo, how you, how you going to let this man D?" And I thought you stand on business. I'm like, "Yeah, I stand on business somebody who returns my calls." Like, if you don't return my calls, don't ask me.
>> Yeah. Don't expect my loyalty.
>> Oh, so like, it's crazy. So even that is, and I, I said, even you and I, I listed every problem that I had interpersonally, the fact that, you know, you didn't, you didn't require my calls, you interviewed people while I was there, you were, you know, like, you didn't even have the decency to have a conversation with me when you fired me, D. And she goes, "Well, I thought you was about standing on business." And I was like, and I, I have the text message. I was like, "So I named seven things." And the only thing you talked about is that you, I'm not, I'm disloyal. You're not even going to address, you're not going to address nothing. So, but it is what it is. And, and, and don't get me wrong, I think what happened was the, with, with Karen, Karen asked Godfrey to do the show.
>> Mhm.
>> And he said, "Look, I'm not, I'm not even really, 'cause I don't want to do nothing corporate because I don't want you to tell me what to say or this or that the other." And then Gthrey got into it with this gay dude.
>> And who was who was being shitty because some, one of his fans wanted to take a picture with him and, and Goffrey, like, you know, he complied and didn't take the picture or they had to go outside and take the picture. But then he went on Laura Coats and he talked about what happened and he did, when he described the gay dude, he did the gay voice, uh, which was accurate. And he said that he would have, he would have snatched the dude's braids.
>> And that was why he got fired.
>> Huh. Yeah, that's some oddball [ __ ]. Real quick, I want to, uh, I want to go ahead and, um, I got two clips I want to play and we'll react to it. Again, fair is fair, but this in no way, shape, or form, but to, to Dante's point, I do want to play clips where I've seen Godfrey, uh, educate on what it means, um, to have, um, an understanding at least, um, on paper.
>> What it is.
>> Of what it is. So, let's, let's rock and roll.
>> Been burned up because a white woman said she raped, got raped.
>> Yep. Hold on. You got Lener Lake, Lane Lenir, to town of Lenir, which is under there's seven black towns that are drowned underwater.
>> It's scary because people be dying at Lake Laneir all the time.
>> Die from spirits dragging them. So they, they've flooded black neighborhoods with rivers. They have Seneca Village. It used to, now it's, um, it's Central Park in, in, um, New York.
>> The 10 freeway. The 10.
>> Notice how completely numb Abar is. BUT HE GREW UP IN CRANCHAW. YEAH. OKAY. SO, let me give you a little, I don't know Akbar, right?
>> Right. But—
>> And I'm not, I'm not holding you accountable for—
>> I also watch, I watch the show and I go like this is so milk toast. It's like none of this even—
>> Right here used to be West Adams.
>> My bad.
>> But beyond that, here's the other thing.
>> This is some again.
>> With the most important black—
>> Yeah. They, they build, they build freeways through black neighborhoods. Go. I'm sorry, bro. Yeah, he, he, you know, he's g to talk about Robert Moses and the ci, the racist civil engineer. And also he has, Grey has a photo, he has, it's weird because he has a photogenic memory like he—
rattles it off, but also when he zones out,
it, it's running on auto, you know? And so now you, you got to, even his posture, like when I, when he's talking, I know when he's there. Do you know what I mean? Like in this moment, he's present. And there's times when he's not. Um, but, um, I, but one of the, the other, the other, when I do my relationship consulting, you know, who gets played more than anybody? Ball, basketball players, uh, sports dudes, and army and navy and service dudes. They the corniest [ __ ] in the world. Great guys, good dudes, but got no game at all. First of all, a dude who, who goes, who plays sports at that level, double and triple class practices. All they know is is football. They don't get a chance to. This, this is how, uh, I'm, I'm, yeah, why not? All right. Like this is how Lala snatched up Carmelo right when he was, 'cause you, you know, she put it on him. And LA was not fresh out the plastic. Let's just leave it at that. But what you have is these dudes who basketball or Zion, Zion Williams, who was, uh, Zion Williamson, who had was talking to this BBL porn star and telling her he was like, no game at all. It's because you really any women that you, any any social interaction that you've had with women is usually predicated on your, your fame as a, as a basketball player or football player or your, the fact that you might, you might go. They don't, they don't have real inter, it ain't. I mean, I was, I was trying to get ass when I was sleeping in my mom's basement on a futon, you know what I mean? Without a top sheet, you know? So you, you got to, you got to have little, you got to get game to do at, you know.
>> Right?
>> So, and I was, I was driving around in a Toyota Corolla, uh, '80-'82 Toyota Corolla. So, you know what I'm saying? You, you, you dudes like him just don't, you know, they play football. That's all they know is football. And then when they get in the game, this is why a lot of them get taken and they get their money taken because they never had no game in the first place. Um—
>> I'm with you. I'm with you. Let me go ahead real quick and, um, play this real quick.
Black people on toxic dumps. You got the Dulles Airport, that was a black town. DC, that was a black town. So black people have built their own. They had their banks. They had their hospital. The white people came and burned the mother. So, and so black people have been working hard all the time. They just come and they, it up. But again, the narrative wins. The narrative that I, there's, there's something about that one guy, not, not Akar, but this guy. I just, something, and I don't know this man. And there's just—
Something about him that just, I don't know why it bugs me, but there's just something very earthworm gym about him that just, just rubs me the wrong way. I don't know why. I've never met this man. I don't even know this man's name, but something about it.
But this, this one right here is what really pissed me off on the whole Aquar thing. I'm, I'm going to play the shout out to Paul. Let me go ahead and run this.
>> Bill >> is the reason why our parents got to come over. >> Boom. >> 1964 Lyndon Baines Johnson had to sign that right. >> Exactly. So that is the reason why Koreans can come here. >> Yep. >> Uh uh uh Koreans, Indians, Arabs, uh Nigerians. >> It's because of the Civil Rights Bill. It's because of African Americans foundational black coming in here, >> busting their ass, being treated like >> I find it funny how there are people out there that will tell black Americans what their history is. And right now, in the middle of Black History Month, we have a contender for one of the most egregious. But luckily, we have Godfrey here. To correct the record on FBA and [ __ ] history, the negro American history. We need to get some things straight.
>> My father refused, like we would have been eligible for for welfare. Why? >> My dad was irritated by the idea. It was like, why would I, like, I can, I can do this on my own. I don't need anybody to >> And you can see the path that this host Akbar, who's also Nigerian, he's going for >> like, do you understand that at this point right here, Akbar is completely out of [ __ ] pocket? >> Oblivious. Oblivious to what? >> Completely oblivious because, you know, my, my, my, my daddy did this and my daddy did that. Like, okay. And and Godfrey is proceeding to break down, um, why that's out of pocket. So there's no doubt in your mind that he understands that saying things >> And he believes it. He believes it. And and I'm, to to be honest, he explains it better than I would because he has this photo, photogenic memory, like he retains things and dates and names. Like I'm horrible at that, you know. I, I, you know, I, I'll be talking about the 14th Amendment and I'll say the 13th instead of the 4th, you know, like, um, but, um, I, I've just seen him do that 99% of the time that where he defends and then and then you, you have a misstep and then, you know, and then people want to not take into consideration the 99, 98% of the times when he's been on [ __ ] like that. And I think that's, I think that is what made him angry is that he really believe, I think he really believes that what he said about about black Americans and and our history and I, I think he's well ready and he understands it. And then, uh, you know, these are the people that he's believes and honestly believes. It's not even just, I'm, you know, he said, I speak up for you all the time. You know, he talks.
>> He said, "I speak up for you mothers all the time."
>> Yeah, cuz he's mad. He's mad, dog. He's mad.
>> Yeah. I mean, here's the thing. I'm 90% of the time I'm sweet to my wife. 90% of the time I'm, I'm loving tomorrow. But every once in a while, we might get into a disagreement, >> bro. >> That's you, player. >> But I'm with you. It's me. And I'm not telling you that. Here's the only thing. Let's take me out of it for a minute.
>> Since you've been on with me, right?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Godfrey. I play clips where Gaffrey has demonstrated his ability to see that something is wrong and apologize. >> Godfrey has demonstrated that he understands the history of my people. Godfrey has understood that there are some people who are just absolutely effed up. And Godfrey has understood that sometimes his temper can get the better of him. So either you know how to apologize or you don't know how to apologize. It can't be both. If he does, then my question to you from somebody who's known him for decades at this point, >> why hasn't he issued an apology?
>> I, I mean, I, I think what happens is people talk [ __ ] online and uh and I think, I honestly think when you have the conversation with him, I, I >> I and and you explain what the point. I, I don't, I don't see where he wouldn't apologize. And I'm not, I'm not saying I had a talk with him that this about. I'm just saying that that he genuinely would, you know, if I, he, he says, I don't want to hurt nobody. I don't want to hurt nobody's feelings. I'm not trying to start nothing up with nobody. But then there's, you know, then there's [ __ ] that come on and and and troll you and they get at you and and he's affected by it. And I mean,
>> But ain't that the job? Like you've been in again, you've been in stand up longer than I have.
>> Ain't that part of the job? Like, point. Look, >> everybody ain't got so What you're saying is his skin is thin.
>> Are you trying to tell me that this man here is sensitive?
>> I, in certain situations. I mean, we all sensitive about certain things. Did you, did you see when uh when Aries got into that fight with Zo on 5150?
>> Absolutely. Loved every minute of it.
>> Well, let me give you, let me give you a background.
>> Sure.
>> Aries was how, like, so, I'm a light-skinned dude. Grew up East and you know, in in in borderline of Crown Heights and Bestie, right? If you got a light, light-skinned dude in the crew, right?
>> Mhm.
>> He's the, he's the [ __ ] you worry about.
>> Because >> He's the one in the crew.
>> He's the worst.
>> Like he got something to prove cuz he's the light-skinned.
>> Oh, this times I heard [ __ ] call me piss colored R&B [ __ ] this alb that, you know, like just just so when it when >> Colorism is crazy and I never thought that way where I was like, you black. I never, that never even came out of my mind because I had my own insecurities. But when I watched the 51 thing with Aries, soon as he said piss colored [ __ ] and I, I could hear the vo Zo's voice, I was like, I knew immediately it was going to go now. And and and Aries was like, and he's totally unaware that this dude is on a whole another plane now. And you, you, you from Newark, New Jersey and you don't know that this is you getting ready. I knew he was going to get the beat down. There was no doubt in my mind. Soon as he called him piss colored, I was like, it's on and popping. And because when he said it, I, I was like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was ready to go. So, um, you, you, you know, this, but this is all black trauma, dog. This is all black trauma that we, we have not even dealt with. And and it's like, I mean, I had to, I, I, I had dudes I used to run the streets with in Brooklyn where somebody would say something, some [ __ ] [ __ ] to me and my boys would like, please don't, don't, please don't start him cuz it's girls here. It's partying. It's liquor. He going, he getting ready to [ __ ] it all up cuz you. But it was my, you know what I'm saying? It was my [ __ ] in the armor because I wasn't black enough, you know, or I wasn't, I was I was too cute or I was, I mean, I don't have it now, but I had curly hair. Look, I look like the, I used to look like this, the cover of the Albby Shaw album, bro. I used to walk around like this all the time.
>> So, I mean, but people have their triggers. You know what I mean?
>> People have your triggers. Goffrey also doesn't like you talk about hecklers. I'm always whenever some, he don't, he doesn't talk to the audience. You know how some [ __ ] like Mojo Brook, these [ __ ] talk to the audience. Gotrey don't talk to the audience.
>> He don't ask that he, I'm here to perform such and such. If somebody heckles, he'll handle it. But anytime somebody heckles, I'm always worried about him going too far because it, he don't, he doesn't engage them and they, and he doesn't want to be here. I'm here to perform for you. I'm here to do what you want. I don't mind, but I'm a different dude.
>> Right.
>> But he don't deal with hecklers. He, you know, he'll just, he'll freak, you know, he gets upset, goes too far, and then he, you know, and then he be like, everybody, you know, like every comic don't do that.
>> And certain [ __ ] like, "Yo, get security." Because here's the other thing. It never gets better. You know what I mean?
>> Right.
>> Like if if somebody's disrespectful and you check them and you, you doing a set and then they, they go back again for another dose right after you spank them, it ain't going to get better. It's only going to get worse.
>> It's only going to get worse. I understand that.
>> Um, I got a, somebody sent me a, uh, what do you call this? Cash app and he says, ask him, ask Dante why he led the discussion last show when Goffrey uh should have been apologizing. He wouldn't let him get a word in edgewise. Who I, Oh, he's talking about when the Haitian dude called in when, Yeah, because I was offended.
>> Because I was offended by what the Haitian, the Haitian dude said, "Yo, come on, these young niggas." I'm like, first of all, first of all, two generations out of your immigrate, your immigrant thing. You, you a son is a YN now cuz he's in them streets. And I remember when I remember when they, when Haitian [ __ ] used to hide their Haitianness >> all day, >> you know, we [ __ ] didn't start coming out as as Haitian until white cleft blew up.
>> And then and then they had a, I mean, cuz I grew up, I grew up in Crown Heights. For the West Indian Day parade, it's 5 million people dumped into my neighborhood every every Labor Day. And Haiti didn't have a, a, a float until W Clefft and, uh, Warren Lauren Hill had had blew up.
>> Right.
>> So, it's like, it's, you know, it's es and flows and stuff like that. It's just like, it's just people like, look, I, you know, >> if you, if somebody and I didn't say this to him because I don't think it's my place to say, you, you hurt people's feelings and people are hurt by. But you always get, you also get people in the comments, it's like, why did, why, why didn't I shut the, you know, this dude is really literally saying, why didn't I shut the [ __ ] up and let, like, just shut the [ __ ] up [ __ ] like this is a show, we're doing it live.
>> It's stream of consciousness, we're doing it and and whatever comes up, comes up. You know what I mean? It's like >> this is not, we don't produce it. It's, we're trying to give something real.
>> And I, you know, this is my take on it. If you don't, if you don't agree, >> don't agree. I'm just, you know, I don't have to be here. Then it's like, oh, you got him on there. Why you don't have Godfrey on there? Like, stop.
>> Step by step. Like, I, I got that part. Listen. Let's take. What a Dr. Umar. We must stay focused, my brother. We must stay focused. Albby Chill with the 199 super chat said, "Question, what happened with Godfrey, uh, and Lord Jamar?"
>> That was really again me. That was me. 100% that was me.
>> Lord Jamal came on >> for the Yeah, cuz the audience >> so he, he got Lamar was talking about flat earth, right?
>> Mhm.
>> I think, in my opinion, um, it's the misinformation that allowed Donald Trump and and these these white supremacists to get into office. The fact that we, we don't, we don't have what I call an epistemology. Epistemology for those who don't know, I know you know they, but yes, of course.
>> Uh, epistemology is the process by which you discern what is truthful and what's not truthful. And I, and a lot, most people don't have a process with that they go through to make sure that something's truthful, truthful or not. Right.
>> Um, and, uh, Lord Jamal came on and he's flat earth and he was, uh, he, he, he's also disrespectful. He's a disrespectful dude in general and he talks nasty and he, and also not, he's not a smart dude either. But he was throwing, he was gish galloping, just he throws so much stuff at you at once. And I don't like, I don't like this is the thing I say about Grey, like how Grey has that photogenic memory, like you, I'm, I'm, I can think actively and problem solve actively, but if you're asking me to understand the details, I'm, I'm not great at the details and the dates and the names and, you know,
>> Um, so, um, I couldn't, so I wanted to get a, um, he said, I would, I, I'll debate Neil deGrasse Tyson and I'm like, the the absurdity of the fact that a guy with a ninth grade education would think that he's going to debate a >> debate one of the greatest astrophysicists on the face of the planet, black or white.
>> Stop it.
>> I get what you said.
>> But I know, I also know I know Chuck Nice. Chuck Nice, who is on, who does, um, Star Talk with with Neil, with Neil, and I reached out to him, but I couldn't get him. So, I, I, um, I, uh, I reached out to a couple of black educators and there was this one brother. I forget the brother. I actually sent him an email because I just saw him say that he actually responded back, but for some reason, I didn't see him because I didn't want to have a white boy smoke Lord Jamal.
>> Right. Somebody black.
>> For the for the optics. But I couldn't get, I, I didn't see this brother. The brother, there's a brother. I forget. He, he usually, um, he's a, he's a, you know, a science guy, uh, he's got a couple of degrees in science, he's a science educator. He usually uses Blanca. You know, Blanca from Street Fighter? He, Do you know who I'm talking about?
>> Yeah, I know who Blanca from Street Fighter is. Yeah.
>> Yeah. But I mean, but, uh, I know the, I can see his face. I can't call his name. I know who you're talking about.
>> Okay. So, I, I reached out to him and I, and for some reason, I didn't see, I didn't see when he responded back. I don't be on, I also don't be on Instagram in my comments because it's just too much [ __ ]. And
>> Um, um, so Professor Dave hit me back and I set it up. I said, Professor Dave to come in and then you, we all know what happened after that. How large your mom before, before Professor Dave even >> opened his mouth, he was cussing out Professor Dave and calling him the F-bomb and all kinds of stuff, which which actually was better because he was so indignant that the fact that he was a white boy schooling him didn't even matter because Lord Jamar was just ass out so bad. We, it wasn't, it was, it, it, like you just now, you just being you whing out. You know what I mean?
>> Yeah.
>> So, um,
>> And he got spanked and that kind of was the downfall of, uh, of Lord Jamal. But I did that.
>> I reached out to him and I, and I was like, I said, because you cannot have people, black, I don't want black people talking about flat earth.
>> Right.
>> Because it spits in the face of the black physicists, the the mathematicians, the scientists that have developed the technology, right? During segregation, by the way.
>> Talking about hidden fig%.
>> They did the math. And so, so it's like, but this is, but, but I, I get it. That there's a situation where because you listen, you read, uh, medical apart and you watch Marian Sims and how he had, he had a bunch of slaves in a cabin in his backyard and was doing him, doing experiments on them in his backyard with no anesthesia when anesthesia was available to him. Right.
>> Right.
>> Um, % and he, he called him the father of gynecological sciences. And he was, he tortured black women to do it. Yeah.
>> Every major.
>> And that's where you get the medical, uh, myth to this day that holds up that black women feel less pain, if they feel pain at all. Which is why a whole lot of women, um, a lot of our women don't get the painkillers when they, uh, uh, are asked to have them to get prescribed. And why so many black women die from procedures that are not, uh, ne, that are considered basically common. Hold that thought because I want to get to, uh, CJ OJ says, "I love Godfrey, but he loses his temper on his lives if he is checked for anything. I think he's being stubborn because he feels unfairly chastised right now, but he'll come around with reflection." Thank you for the $10 super chat. What do you say to that, Dante?
>> Agreed. I, I 100%. I know he was cuz he's just not, he's just not that dude. You know,
>> You know,
>> But at this point, he's the thing of it is, bro, like, and again, I, I >> I can separate art from the artist. I can separate that this person has done phenomenal things. Right, OJ? I remember being literally eight years old, right? I'm in Ohio. My, uh, my godfather was my, my dad's war buddy. They fought in the Korean War together. This guy, his name is Dicky Davies. Dicky Davies, uh, was the vice president of the Goodyear. And so, me, the Davies children, Don, uh, John McEnroe, and my dad are at the Hall of Fame game where OJ gives his speech. And he talks about how important it was that his mother loved him and that he would not have been the juice had it not been for his mother. My dad said to me, "Dave, no matter what happens to me, I want you to be like OJ. Make sure you take care of your mother." The reason that I'm doing my show right now at, uh, at at noon as opposed to 10:00 when I normally do is cuz my mom got into a car accident. I dropped everything. I went to go handle, take care of. Oh, she's perfectly fine. Just a little shaken up. She's 80. She just turned 80 last week. So,
>> You know, certain things you start to see your parents take you understand.
>> My mom at 80. I lost my mom at 80.
>> Yeah. So, uh, blessings to you on that. But that's the point. But he said to me, David, be like OJ, take care of your mom. Yeah.
>> You, you know that probably has not aged well.
>> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
>> But, but you see what I'm saying? You can't discount the fact that this man ran through the, uh, ran through the airport for her. You can't discount that he's one of the first huge, aside from Jim Brown, obviously, respecting Jim Brown and and folks like that who, you know, trans transition to Hollywood. All of that aside, the past three weeks, your boy's been on a tear that people are considering a tether tantrum against foundational black Americans, who he says he reveres in such high regard and hasn't had an apology. Before I get your response to that, I got to stop my man, uh, my man right here. Let me see here. Let me go up here. Bet Media with the big $100 super chat said, "Great show. Shout out to you and Dante for facing the music. This is cool, but the clock is still ticking on Godfrey. Hope we can have a discussion on God's podcast."
>> Big shout out to that dude. I love his content, bro. Like, [ __ ] is doing it. But I get it. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of inside. There's a lot of inside that I'm, you know, that I have that I can't expect people to, you know, you're going to look at it from what's on the surface.
>> You know.
>> 100%. 100%. It >> is what it is.
>> Yeah. Yeah. But thank you, Frank, for that. Uh, thank you, False Media, for that. Uh, $2. I mean, $100 super chat. $2 super chat from Sexy Red said, "So, the Democrats fight for foundational black Americans?" I guess that's a question for you. I'm, uh,
>> Um, no, I don't like. So, I've gotten, I've gotten, [ __ ] come at me about the Democrats, me shilling for the Democrats. And what I think, what where I think they they misunderstand is that there was there wasn't a third, there's no third choice. And the, if you look statistically, black people have done better under Democrats, um, for the last hundred years, or at least at least the last 60 years. I mean, unemployment, financially, um, social services, and so on and so forth. And so, there's not a, there's not a, I mean, you know, there's never been a third choice, which I'm, I'm really liking this this social, uh, you know, what my Nami is doing in, uh, in America. Although I don't like the fact that he said that New York is a city of immigrants, which which discounts the indigenous population and and and and the black indigenous population, you know. So, but, um, my choice was like, are we really thinking that, um, not having Kamala as in as a president is better than this orange bag of [ __ ]? I mean, is that really where we're at now when we're watching this guy dismantle all means and norms of everything?
>> Um, another thing I, I have a problem with a lot of times is the fact that, um, black people yelling at that, you know, they were screaming about Kamala and her, you know, her code switching. Oh, this [ __ ] is code switching. When you cannot take it, understand this. You cannot, you would not have code switching if there was not white supremacy where black people can't show up as they are in corporate America. The only reason why we have code switching is because of white supremacy.
>> Okay. Now, to that point, I, I want to, um, are you familiar with Mindy Kaling?
>> No.
>> Okay. Um, Mindy K, let me, let me show you because I can show you better than I can tell you because this is extremely important because I think a lot of people aren't aware of this and this is why sometimes people give Kamala smoke, right? It's one of the reasons. And again, with
>> You mean the, you mean the actor? You talking about the actress? Yes. Yeah.
>> Okay. Yes.
>> Okay. Hold on. There's two things I want to show you. Right. The first is this. Um, hold on. Let me see if I can find it here because I think this is a, uh, okay, here we go. Let me go ahead and pull this.
>> Always identified herself as a black woman. But here's a clip. Uh, I'll just play it.
>> Yeah. This is the press. Tom, rewind, please. Go back a little bit.
>> Okay. So, what we're going to cook today,
>> Okay.
>> Is an Indian recipe. Yes.
>> Because you are Indian.
>> Okay. And I don't know that everybody knows that, but I find that wherever I go and I see Indian people at the supermarket, on the street, everyone's like, you know, Kla Harris is Indian, right? It's like our thing. We're so excited about to have you running for president.
>> Yeah.
>> So, we both Indian, but actually, we're both South Indian. Um,
>> You look like the entire one half of my family.
>> Okay. Thank you. You do.
>> I've been telling people we're related already, so this is perfect. It's basically true. Uh, and so were you raised eating South Indian food?
>> South Indian food.
>> All right. Now, to that point, because I want you to hold your thoughts until I get you this whole thing. So, in real time, cuz I know you don't know this, cuz if you know this, you would understand why people are so pissed off.
>> And when it comes to specifically. So, I want you to watch this.
>> Kaylin is having a rough 2020.
>> Let me see if I can get sound on this. Here we go. And now people reason it's not, it's not giving me sound. Hold on.
>> Mindy Kaling's been getting a lot of
>> Why is it not giving me
>> Bad press lately for a latest filmer series and now her brother is as well. It came out that he lied about being black just to get into medical school. Apparently it was harder to get into medical school as an Indian but easier as a black American because they wanted to increase the rate of black American doctors. However, Minty Kalin came out and said that she disowned her brother over this and disagreed with his actions. But her brother also came out and said that Mindy
>> I can hear you.
>> All right. Say something, bro.
>> Can you hear me?
>> I don't know what. Uh,
>> You don't hear me?
>> What's happening here? Let me try something. Let me turn this.
>> I hear you.
>> I hear you.
>> Say again.
>> I hear you.
>> Okay. Yeah. I think something happened. This is why again, that's why I'm gonna get that monitor like you said. See, that's how you know we're live, black people.
>> All right. So, now we got that out the way. So, let's, uh, let's, let's, let me, let me push this in. I know you lying to me. This is, see, the devil is busy.
>> Yeah.
>> All right. Hold on. There we go.
>> Testing. One, two. Testing.
>> Hold on. Let's do this. And then let's go back.
>> Of course, now that, um, see if I can get it. Hold on, guys. So, it's this one. All right. So, let's get this popping. See if we can get this camera back up and running because of course, black people are waiting for me to do this. But while I'm working all this good stuff out, here we go. All right. Now, we're back cooking with gas. I don't know what happened back. Yeah, I can hear you fine. Can you hear me?
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> All right. Now, I want to, I want to play this before you respond because this is where it gets very ugly. Hold on. Let me go here. Let me see if this is the one. You can't even on this point.
>> Here we go. All right. Now I got it. All right. Thank you guys for bearing with me. Here we go. This is it. This is why people got an issue with with Kla Harris for this very reason.
>> 2023. And now people are making fun of her because her brother lied that he was black. Explain this. Mindy Kalin is the daughter of a doctor where for decades her mother was a gynecologist. That was Mindy Kalin's inspiration for making her character a gynecologist in her six season series, The Mindy Project. Bendy Kalin's brother wanted to be a doctor in real life, but his problem was he didn't have the grades to get to medical school. Medical school is very difficult to get accepted to with only a 5.5% acceptance rate, the average GPA being a 3.8, a 4.0. And maybe Kayla's brother didn't think he'd get accepted to medical school because of his grades, so he lied saying he was black. To do that, he actually shaved his head when applying to medical schools to look more convincing. They also didn't use the name Beij in his applications, instead saying his name was Jojo. The reason he did this is Indian people make up 8.5% of doctors in the US despite being only 1.4% of the population. At the same time, only 5.4% of doctors are black despite black people making up 13% of the population. We said he was black because medical schools are looking for more black students. But this is bad for Mindy Kalin. She said she was ashamed of her brother disowned him. Mindy Kalin's brother said she knew and encouraged until he got caught with that. I'm Charles P. I hope you learned something.
>> So here's the point. A lot of South Indians pretend to be black. And Kla Harris, for the most part, throughout her career, if you go back and you look when she was in San Francisco, when she was, um, rocking and rolling, when she was first running for senator, she positioned herself as Indian. You can't name one black person she's ever been around other than people that she passed off as relatives of her who are not relatives of her. And Jamaican, just like American is a nationality. It's not an ethnic group. I know Indian Jamaicans. I know Asian Jamaicans. I know white Jamaicans who talk like this. So the thing of it is, Kamala, and bro, I've been black all my life. I have yet to see one black grandmama ever. Hell, one black mother, hell, one black woman who washes her collar greens in the bathtub and seasons them with bacon. So there's a lot of suspect heathery [ __ ] about Kamala Harris. Now, to that point, um, when we talk about from a national level, the stats that you said are correct. The problem is, you look at Chicago, black mayor took the money from the CO relief fund that was supposed to go to impoverished, and I'm only using this for a technical term, black and brown people. He put the majority of the illegals in densely populated, underserved black neighborhoods to the point where there was a black woman who had a, uh, who had the, was, uh, exercising her constitutional right and was speaking in front of city council and the mayor, Brandon Johnson. And there was an illegal who got, um, job training, benefits, housing, and cash was telling her that she was lazy and she needs to go get a job. Right. You've got, uh, somebody like, um, oh gosh, the, I can't think of the situation, but in, uh, in Atlanta, you've got, uh, black mayor after black mayor, Democrat after Democrat, and it's hard to find someone who is reading at grade level. You got Wes Moore, who is, um, I think Jamaican or Haitian. I can't remember what Wes Moore is, but he is the governor of Maryland. You don't find one kid, to your point, in Baltimore. You already said you already know what Baltimore is like, with the exception of the Braxtons and a few other folks. Baltimore got a whole lot, respect to Baltimore, but Baltimore got a whole lot of issues and one of them is there's not one child that can read at grade level >> in the Baltimore public school system. And so when you look at what happens with Democrats for the past 62 years, they've had the ball. Here's my issue. Kamala Harris had the oval, according to her and Joe Biden, from for four years and that George Floyd bill didn't get passed, but it took her 48 days to get that, uh, Stop Asian Hate Crime Bill passed. Lynn, do you understand what I'm saying?
>> Yeah, absolutely. Like, there's a, there's a level of y'all have had the ball. And I get there's only two sides. But my whole thing is, why is it when it comes to repair for our community, the same people don't show up unless it's time to do the nigh nigh, have a Fat Joe concert, have Megan the Stallion twerk in a pantsuit, have people wait 16 hours for Beyonce to show up at a concert. And when we say, "Where's the tangibles for us?" They all of a sudden get amnesia and was like, "Oh, but we gave you a black president. Oh, we gave you a Fat Joe concert. Oh, Megan Estein was twerking in a pantsuit. Can you see why there's a a group of black folks who like, we're not getting anything for our vote? And in a constitutional republic, we're supposed to get something for our vote. Am I, am I off base or being unreasonable?
>> Not at all. I wouldn't argue any of that. But I do know, I do know H.B.CU's, um, [ __ ] the, the thing that that Trump signed for the H.B.CU. decreased it by, I think he decreased it by a hundred billion.
>> Okay, now let's be clear about that because that's a misnomer. And again, this is not me defending the president. I'm just stating facts. Okay? Because this is what Biden did. When Biden went in there and said, "Oh, I'm going to increase this." Yeah. See, the problem with black folks, respectfully, is that we read the headline, but we don't know what the fine print is. Are you
>> I might be wrong. I, I could be wrong.
>> You are, and I'm going to prove it to you. Do you know what an MSI is?
>> No.
>> Have you ever heard of a TCU? No.
>> Exactly. So, what happened was, what they do is, they just like with everything else throughout history, Godfrey would know this. You're a very well-read man. [ __ ] you got a plaque I got on my wall cuz I'm just starting. But here's the thing. As well read as you are, you know for a fact that what I, what I'm saying in this point is that black people usually get to be the face of every movement. When the Tuskegee Airmen were fighting for World War II, they let us fly, but they didn't think we were so skilled pilots. But they wanted us to take all the risk. In the Civil War, even if you watch the movie Glory, that whole situation was about black men wanting to fight for their freedom, but they gave us all the grunt work, all the infantry stuff. Hell, to this day, a lot of times foundational black Americans are on the front line fighting for this country. We get all the bad positions, right? Yeah. Here's the gag. When it comes to the funding, there was always a situation where H.B.CU's had to come and petition for this funding. Trump said, "No, you're not going to have to do that anymore. I'm just gonna sign it and be done with it because it's just a waste of time. Why are you here? Love my fine African-American. I'm sorry. These negroes are foundational."
>> Here's the thing. When Biden went and increased the funding, the majority of it went to TCU, which are tribal colleges and universities, not for foundational black Americans. And
>> it went to MSIs, which is a group of what are called minority serving institutions. You never heard of either of those terms until 25 seconds ago. That's where the majority of that money went. So when you look at that money, the the amount that we got actually under Biden was decreased. And the money that Trump earmarked was more, but he made it look like he did something. It's a trick bag because he knows none of us are going to read the fine print. Unfortunately, I ain't got [ __ ] else to do but read the fine print. And that's the gag. There's a whole bunch of that type of trick baggery that happens, which is why you got, uh, Kla Harris. What, what did she say to the Grio again? Hold on. Let me see if I can pull it up. Uh, hold on. Let me see. Uh, hold on. Here. Here it is. Hold on. Let me, let me grab that clip because it's, it's, uh, it's this one right here. Hold on. Let me, uh, let me pause it because I want to make sure that, uh, we get, uh, we get it up on the screen and we don't have any issues. While I'm doing that, I want to say hello to Big Hurt, uh, with the $5 super chat says, "United States has always have incentivized all immigrants over foundational black Americans and have the audacity to tell us to pull ourselves up by our boot, uh, bootstraps." Uh, thank you for the $5 super chat. Brenda Thomas 1435 is Dave. Dave, get this man up out of here. Not for $2. I ain't. You gonna have to give me a $500 super chat to kick this man off and then I'm just going to bring him back because this man reached out to me. There's a whole lot of people who didn't reach out to me, which is why we HAVE THE GODFREY WATCH. THE countdown chair is still open right now. Dante's in the chair again. Happy to have him here, but we're not stopping until we had a conversation. Me and Godfrey FACE TO FACE. MONO ID putting him up. I'm, I'm, I'm [ __ ] around, but he, I'm not [ __ ] around by having a conversation. I'm [ __ ] around about you. I'm not.
>> Um, but let me go ahead. But yeah, but, but this is >> this is exactly my point.
>> Somebody gives a $2, a $2. Get this. It's just like >> it's like, get him up out of here.
>> Like you clown ass [ __ ] Shut the [ __ ] up.
>> Yo,
>> You get me out of here, [ __ ] ass. LIKE STOP. SEE, Y GODFREY THING. YOU'RE GETTING TRIGGERED. You're getting triggered.
>> You're right.
>> THIS IS WHY YOU LET HIM GO. THIS IS THIS IS WHY this is why PEOPLE IS MAD AT you because the same way you just got triggered right now and you're this man is 56 and a half and he got triggered.
>> You're right. You're right. But it's just, it's relentless. But Doug, come on, man. We're having a conversation here.
>> The only way we get to, I, I, I didn't deny any of that. But I still would say what I did say was the other part that I said. said, "Did Democrat black people do better with unemployment?" See, Trump got rid of 650,000 black women in federal jobs.
>> Why?
>> Because most of the Now, now hold on real quick with that. The majority, and here's, here's what, here's what's crazy because we only tell half of that stat and we never talk about the the backlash of it, right? Because here's the truth. We're talking somewhere between 300,000 and 650 depending on estimation. And I, I definitely want to go there. Here's what we're not talking about. If, because when you're looking at that, there's a, a [ __ ] ton of redundancies in those positions. And then here's the thing. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You've never heard of a broke plumber. You've never heard of a broke welder. You've never heard of a broke painter. But yet and still, these people who are so allegedly so viable because a lot of these positions were underwater basket weaving pork positions. How come if they're that damn skilled, they can't find work in the private sector? If you've got a government job and you've had a government job for a while, how come that doesn't transfer over in the private sector? Because mostly people who have worked for the government are considered exemplary employees in the private sector statistically speaking. So how come those same jobs or at least a third of them, hell, a tenth of them have not found work in the private sector doing the same so-called position?
>> I don't, I don't, I'm not even talking about that. I mean, I, I mean, I
>> You're talking about because, because of the DEI thing, which by the way, black people need to get the hell off of because DEI benefits white women at 51%. It only benefits black people at 4% and the majority of go to black women.
>> I agree with all of that, but I would, I give you an example. Look, I think that all black people should apply for welfare. You should get everything you could get. The the difference is, here's what, here's what I'm saying, but not have a welfare mentality. What I'm saying is anything this government is going to give you for free, you should take because you, they owe it to you. So, but I'm not, I'm also subscribe to what you're saying is to have a mentality to uplift. So if you got a federal job that pays the bills and then you can send your kids to school, you should be educating yourself beyond that. Problem is that people get the federal job and then they get lazy and they, and they don't grow and then you, and then you wonder why the movement doesn't move because we're not elevating. I, I, I mean, you know, this whole thing with, uh, where they were trying to jump on Dave Chappelle about going to, um, to the Saudi comedy thing, the festival.
>> Mhm.
>> How you, how you going to get on him about going to the Saudi comedy festival? And they gave him, they GAVE TRUMP A $400 MILLION BILLION dollar, uh, plane. Like you got this guy to do, you got this orange bag of [ __ ] just, he made, uh, he made almost $1.5 billion dollar off the crypto payoffs. They, I just saw a thing the other day that the, this, the stock trades that Trump made is something like 4,000 stock trades. Zero with Obama, zero with Biden, zero with senior Bush and Junior. Like, we're talking about a level of corruption and and maybe she is a tether. Maybe it is.
>> Oh, she's definitely a tether.
>> She's definitely a tether. But hold on. It ain't worse than what it is. It ain't.
>> Watch this though. Watch this. And and this, this is where this broad loses me.
>> This right here. Here it come. Listen to your corner. Watch for the hook. That clip is from an interview I did with Kla Harris five years ago in 2019 when she was first running for president in the Democratic primary before she became Joe Biden's VP. At that time many Democratic
>> And in particular black people have not. And so we have got to recognize that and do something about that and give folks a lift up. That's why, for example, I'm proposing the lift act. Give people who are making $100,000 or less as a family a tax credit, which will benefit and uplift 60% of black families who are in poverty.
>> So by default, it affects black families. But there's not a particular policy for African-Americans that you would explore? But no, if you look at the the reality of who will benefit from certain policies,
>> when you take into account that they're not starting at at at the same place and they're not stand, they're not starting on equal footing, it will directly benefit black children, black families, black homeowners because the disparities are so significant. So if we focus on the specific issues that have resulted in the greatest disparities and we understand that that's part of why we're doing it. Listen, the reality also is this. Any policy that will benefit black people will benefit all of society. Let's be clear about that. Let's really be clear about that. So I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people. No. And when she got into the oval, she didn't do anything that was specifically going to benefit black people, but she sure enough did something that was specifically going to benefit Asians. And by the way, somehow black people, specifically foundational black Americans, caught strays because some crazy white man who also didn't take his medicine, went up into the sucky sucky love you long times and started going, and I'm not, I'm not doing a designer impersonation when I say that. And she took off the pearls and the chucks. She stopped with the skiw wee and perm and she got her ass on Air Force 2 and she started standing in solidarity with the Asians and that Stop Asian Hate bill got passed into law in 48 days and black people have still suffered by the way. While she was vice president, as an alumnest of Howard, I can tell you this because not only did I pay for my niece to go, um, for my daughter to go there, but my niece also went to Howard. They had kids literally at her alma mater, a stone's throw from the White House she went to and worked at every.
Single day, not being able to be in their dorm. She did absolutely nothing and drove past them every single day. I don't understand how somebody who went to an H.B.CU, and by the way, there there's a a hell of a lot of Asians upticking at Howard. I know white deltas. I know Puerto Rican Q's. So just because you pledge does not make you black either. The my issue is she specifically found a way to specifically do things for the Asian part of her, but the blackness.
Well, let me just uh shout out to the Q's first and for.
Here we go. Friendship is essential to the soul. Y'all going to be all right. And and and for a 100 plus years, they ain't done nothing but bark.
And yo.
Come on now. And that's the entire N that's the that's the entire divine nine, bro.
The entire divine nine.
Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. Uh but um Doug, I I mean I guess what I'm saying is uh when given the choice, uh they're eating the dogs or her, I'mma choose her. So, you're going to choose somebody who said that she wasn't the borders are, but then before that started becoming a talking point, she had no problem being the borders are. You're going to choose somebody who literally just said that she wasn't going to do anything for black people specifically. You would choose somebody who had the oval and could not understand why there were all these illegals. And she told uh Lester Holt, "We've been to the border." He said, "Well, you haven't been to the border." She said, "Well, I haven't been to Europe either." Yet and still, one of the greatest groups who was discriminated against because of all these illegals coming into the country are foundational black Americans. So, you're going to vote for somebody who let 10 million people in here to eat off our plate and be cool with that over this orange bag of [ __ ] um other than Trump making increasing his his wealth and his sons his sons are are now in mining. They're doing mining now, mining zinc. And yeah, I mean I mean I I don't I don't I don't doubt that there needs to be a a a great reset. And I'm and I think that um all like I I it's just like I feel so frustrated and overwhelmed by the inadequacy of of uh of of corporate Democrats and um Republicans who are just conservative. Basically the KKK and the white supremist party that literally are working on our demise. The fact that we get crumbs from the from Democrats and um but you know like I'm I'm probably gonna be all right, but I know some I know some [ __ ] where the crumbs is all they got.
So.
Yeah, listen, we all know people who eat toaster shakens. I get you real quick. Um the KKK was founded by Democrats, by the way.
Um.
Yeah, but you you know that there was a switch.
Oh, here we go with the party switch. If the party switched, then how come Robert Bird didn't switch parties? Who was an adult. Do let's not let's make no mistake. It's it's not like I think in any shape or form that the Democrats are not white supremist.
Oh yeah. Let me be clear on that because I've never both sides of the equation and I give Republicans the same amount of support I give Democrats. I think the whole thing of it is there's not like here's the thing. Show me somebody who is federal, who is a Democrat, who's been elected, who's not a millionaire.
Nobody.
Thank you. That's the point. But they act and they put up this thing as if these people are working so hard, SO TIRELESSLY. THEY'RE ALL RICH. OBAMA GOT A HOUSE, SORRY, a compound in Hawaii. He got another compound in Chicago. He got another compound in Marthur's Vineyard. The the chef somehow winds up drowned. Okay. Like Biden, his son was literally talking to folks over overseas and he's talking about, "Yeah, well, I'm going to get the big guy on it. This, that, and the third." You can't tell me what the Biden family business is as well versed as you are what the Trump family business is. All of these cats are corrupt. It's just that because we don't want.
You're not going to get an argument from me on that.
But my whole thing is why is it as an intellectual as you are and people who you know are are talking about how bad the orange man is don't seem to have that same level of understanding of how the Biden crime family operated, the Obama crime family operated, the Clinton crime family operated. But you're so focused on this one dude like he invented racism AND I GOT A LOT OF ISSUES WITH HIM.
Oh no. That's.
Why why why you understand what I'm saying?
There's.
Look, I all all is I'm I I'm going there's the Dem only reason why the Democrats are not racist is because the tent is bigger and because people they need to they need to have some they need to throw crumbs to black people so that they can win elections. And given an opportunity where they didn't need black people, they wouldn't I don't think they would do anything else. I mean, I just watched Cy Booker crying about the death of uh uh Lady G, Lindsey Graham uh yesterday.
Just.
Lady G is wild.
You know. And now because all the MDAs are being this dude is, you know, all the all the Twinks and all the all the all the.
Rainbow. All the rainbow folks are they calling this [ __ ] out cuz the NDAs is out. So much. I mean, I you know, the conversation I I feel like and and maybe you one of those. I just think there's smarter people than me about this. Do you know what I mean? There's and I think that I don't I don't disagree with anything that you're saying. Um, there's things I've there there's certain things that I've learned today that I didn't know before. Um, and um, but I know when when uh when America has a cold, uh, uh, you know, black people have have pneumonia, you know, and and I just want my people to be better, whatever it is, even if it's crumbs, if it's.
Okay, so let me ask you this. Let me ask you this because this is a good question.
Um.
When it comes to reparations. Yes. Right. If Donald Trump said I I know he's not going to, but let's just pretend we're in we're we're we're in we're in imagination land, right? Um he says or any Republican says we're going to give black people reparations. What are you doing?
Um.
Cuz all we got from Democrats is studies at this point. We ain't got [ __ ] from Republicans on it. But I'm just asking studies.
Well, I.
I guess what I'm saying is I I got to I I got to use it as street rules. I give you the bundles. You [ __ ] up the package. You came back. You're not You're not trustworthy. I can't trust you. What you can do I you got to do you got to show and prove. So, this is a situ. So, I I just I can't put my I can't put my name on something when you when you haven't been trustworthy. I mean, now if that's what he's going to do, I mean, you got to wonder why would he do it or what? I mean, then we know he wouldn't do it because he doesn't even I don't you know, I I realize.
None of them are going to do it because it's political suicide. And here's the other part that nobody likes to talk about and I don't I haven't heard anybody say this publicly, so allow me to be the first because I know you ain't heard this one. If in fact the United States repairs black people for the atrocities of slavery, Jim Crow, redlinining, all of those things, they would be admitting to not only a genocide, a kidnapping, uh several crimes in and in in despicable acts against humanity. At that point, the UN would be able to sanction them for what they did to their own people.
Absolutely.
And so that's why I think as much as we're pushing for it, we're never going to get it. But I am a staunch supporter of reparations. So yeah, no matter who gives it to us, you're opening the United States up to a liability that they are just never going to cop to.
Um John Hegelson with the $499 super chat says, "Dante, alls I'm saying is my mass is better than your mass." You see, y'all out of pocket for $4.99. Like why can't we get a couple more of these $100 super chats if you going to [ __ ] on my man? And y'all could have come a little bit better with the.
See, what you want to do is you you want to put the cone light on. Let I got to show them how to do. I don't I don't Here's what you got to understand. I don't trust.
Eyes don't want no Republicans.
You know, you got to have the light come down from the bottom. The bottom coming up where you get.
Oh my god. Yeah, you're right. You got to have a cool light come from the bottom. You're right. Hold on. Hold on now. Hold on. You know what I'm saying?
Now it's not going to do from here.
You get on from around here.
Get from here making all that trouble.
All making all that [ __ ] talk. What's wrong? Um, I it is uh it is so like I don't have hope. I'm gonna tell you like this. I don't have hope. And I'm I'm you know, even I'm I'm trying to be righteous and I'm trying to make dudes righteous and I'm try, you know, trying to educate and do whatever I can do and kind of, you know, um I I think there's so much to this. Um the fact that.
People don't see human black people as human beings. I mean, on a base level, I just don't I I I don't really have any white friends anymore. I don't even trust it. I And I mean and I mean that I mean like even when it's when I I deal with it on a business level, but I don't have white friends no more because I don't understand. I I they just can't even understand like to try to explain it is it's you you don't even get it. I had a I had a dude that I worked with I wor you know I worked at the phone company for for for 30 years and I had a dude was my partner in the truck.
20 years. He watched people follow me around stores. He watched me go to fix people's phones and and white lady looked me in the face and go I'm not I know my phone is broken. I'm not letting him in here talk to my white counterpart. So it's like.
Um where's your truck? Where's your I here's my truck. Is it the ID with He He He can't come in here. I had a I mean endless like on a daily basis. And then I had this dude say some [ __ ] [ __ ] to me that that was unforgivable.
Mhm.
Watch this kid. I watched his family grow and stuff. Went to the christenins and everything. I don't do none of that no more. I I don't I you know I don't tr and and to be honest I'd rather be [ __ ] by a black I'd be rather be robbed by a black dude than a white dude at least maybe he needed you know.
HOW ABOUT NOT GETTING ROBBED AT ALL.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT. That would be great and I'm you know I'm going to keep my head on this you know I'll keep my head on the swivel but if I do I I'll give you one better I was talking about this let me ask you this question.
I think that black people hate Candace Owens more than they hate Derek Chovvin. I listen, I'mma tell you this. I think black people hate C I'll do you one better. I think black people hate Candace Owens more than they hate George Zimmerman. I think black people hate Candace Owens more than they hate these three boys that may or may not have had something to do with Nolan Xavier Nolan Nolan Nolan R Nolan um Xavier Wells, you know, and I think that that is always a problem. I'm very consistent in my outrage. If you're against foundational black Americans, I am against you 100%. Full stop because I love my people. I'm an American. I don't want to be no place else. It the and and I told you this before cuz we started talking about the 14th Amendment offline. There's no place that you can uh deport me to cuz this is my ancestral homeland. And that's the beauty of having, you know, historical records and things of that nature. There's no place you can deport me to. I love my country. As effed up as it is, I believe in my country. And let's face it, if our country was so bad, Godfreyy's parents wouldn't be here. Akbar, I can't say his last name. Akbar's.
Bro, I don't I tried. His family wouldn't be here. Cynthior with her African booty scratching uh myth as if every black person didn't call every other black person African booty scratcher, whether we were foundational or not. Um loves to talk about uh black people in that way. Um there's a bunch of folks and then my issue and and I didn't say this but I'm going to say it and I'll say it to Godfrey when I see him. David O Yellow had the distinct pleasure of playing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and say in effect whether he realized it or not cuz he probably got the same type of ADHD Godfrey got which is well you know when you take the southern accent and you take a Nigerian accent and you slow it down and you put some subservience in it. So, is that how we came up with Martin Luther King's voice? Because last I checked, Martin Luther King was a southern black man to talk like this.
You You understand? Do you understand how utterly disrespectful it is for somebody who is not even from foundational black American descent to get I got to ask the question? I know I'm not going to get but I got to I got to I got to ask the question. Do you have any idea how utterly disrespectful it is to my ancestors and to my people that this man was chosen by Oprah Winfrey to play Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by every far stretch of the imagination is a black southern man. That in effect what he's saying if a plus you said it yourself if A is B and if B don't A to B don't work then A to C got to work. You know it's the Pythagorean theorem for those of us who understand 10th grade geometry. So what you're saying is when you started listening to Martin Luther King in your mind you took a Nigerian accent and you slowed it all down which is bully and you put some slavery and some subservience and then you decided.
Absurd. It's absurd. It's even an absurd process. But I was just arguing with my boy today about we were talking about British actors. I said, "How the [ __ ] are you give Nina Simone to the Dominican chick? How' you give how how you how are you how do you give uh you don't give Viola Davis [ __ ] Harriet Tubman? Um you you couldn't you couldn't find a Baltimore [ __ ] that has some familiarity with drugs in the streets in Baltimore. You couldn't. I was I didn't know Stringer BELL WAS A BRICK. I FOUND OUT I WAS LIKE, "YO.
But this is this this is white supremacy being making white people comfortable. I go one better. Why the [ __ ] did Trevor Noah get the Daily Show?
You know why? Because he's the safe type of negro. He's the Obama type of negro.
Exactly. And then.
He's not he's not foundational. And the last thing they want is a foundational black American at that anchor desk making fun of Democrats and Republicans and showing them to their That's why Charlemagne's show got cancelled after what two seasons cuz first it's called The God's Honest Truth and white folks ain't like that. So then they started calling it uh it's been a hell of a week cuz that's a little bit more palatable cuz his boy uh or what's his name? Um just got fired too. Oh come on. Um Steven Cob Bear hooked him up with that and then the next thing you know they was like oh no we not having this cuz the second he went to and got in and this was again I call balls and strikes. I got a lot of issues with Charlemagne but when he went to uh Kamla and was like yo is Joe Biden running the country or is it Joe Manson and she was like no I'm Kla Harris and and you're talking like a Republican and Charlemagne no and they got him they got him right back up in line. Stuff like that is is absolutely insane to me bro. Yeah, I I agree. I mean, I we also even when you talk about um like I I know for a fact I'm really cool with Roy Roy Jr. Roy Wood.
Roy and I are very cool as well. I've known 25 years.
The [ __ ] Daily Show because of the fact that he should have got the table.
You damn right should have got the desk. Who was better than Roy?
Let me tell you and I'm going this is a dark horse and excuse the the pun, but you know who I thought when they were when they were interviewing people we putting different people on it. You know who murdered it? Leslie.
Big Les.
Leslie Jones. Yeah.
Leslie killed it because you and and she just came out about how at SNL she had to either fight somebody, be in love with a white boy or or be loud and angry um on SNL and she's talking about it, you know, like but you know, you you know, she did what she had to do so she didn't have to struggle and she got the check and now she's doing what she wants to do. But Leslie Jones was amazing on the on the Daily Show. But you get these safe negroes, these people where they they feel they they feel comfortable with these safe negroes who uh especially and Trevor Trevor Noah is worldrenowned known for stealing jokes. All the all the South African.
Yeah. He's a joke thief 100%.
Yeah. And I mean again that's always been a thing that has pissed me off. And I mean every standup comic I know, myself included, has an issue with joke thieves. I listen, man. I I remember Michael Blackson stole a joke from me at the second show that I did in the first show when I was at the laugh house in 90 uh 97 cuz that pun was still alive and I I was a really really big dude and I and I did the show Abdullah fat boy just eat a lot.
You know what I mean? And then the next thing I know he gets up on the second show and just and not the fat boy I just eat a lot. I'm like eat the audacity. I mean the tetherism was falling off the bone but again neither here nor there. Um, real quick before we get out of here, uh, Infinite Wellness says, "Ah, [ __ ] I didn't know Dave was one of those. We ain't never going to get reparations, dudes. Damn, homie." No, no, no. I wrote an entire book where I talk about the importance of reparations and should we get it. I just said why I don't think we will. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to continue to fight for it. We got to have enough intellectual fortitude to understand the difference between what I'm saying and what you heard. That's why we use that two square feet of real estate between our ears called our brain. I understand that reparations is a debt that is owed. I laid out an argument why I think it's not going to happen. I never said I'm going to stop or.
Not gonna stop fighting for it.
Not continue to fight for it. Those are two different things. We can have more than one thought. See, foundational black Americans can walk and chew gum at the same damn time. So again, I can acknowledge that Godfrey is a very smart man, a very well- read man, and I can also acknowledge the fact that he is [ __ ] up and somebody needs to tell him. The same way you apologize to uh label M is the same way you need to apologize to foundational black Americans. You see how that works? It's two things there. There. There we go. Anyway, bro, I want to make sure before we close out of here, three things. Number one, I want to thank you for your time because you coming on here, you did not have to. I also want to thank you for reaching out uh to me so that we can have this conversation. I can have this conversation with Godfrey to his face in New York um as soon as humanly possible. Um, secondly, I want people to be able to follow uh follow you online and tell everybody about your podcast outside of Godfrey. We trust all the things you got going on, man. I want to give you the floor for that.
Okay. So, I I do a relationship podcast. My I I did a podcast with Patrice O'Neal, a radio show on with Patrice O'Neal in 2006 to 2008, which was the Black Phillips Show, which was the rise of the I I hate to say it, but it was the rise of the Red Pill stuff without the empathy. Um, so, um, it's just, uh, I'm I'm teaching social social dynamics and and, uh, relationships and that, you know, that's my that's my little corner of things that where I, you know, my expertise and, um, and I, you know, I co-host with with with Godfrey and.
You know, I mean, and I'm I'm I consider you a friend now, David. Please, you know, I appreciate you. Let's keep in touch. I mean.
Um.
Hey, no, LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH. I'M COMING IN New York.
Yeah. Well, I mean, let's keep in touch in general. You know what I mean?
In general, I'm giving you [ __ ].
But, uh, and I I mean, I thanks for everybody who's listening, tune in, man. I mean, I love my people, bro. And somebody asked what my nationality is. My My mother's from Virginia. Zuna, Virginia. Little town, little mountain town. His grandfather's is uh Sue. Uh, is Native American Sue um indigenous. My dad is uh grew up in Harlem, but his mother was from she was uh half black, half white Boston and uh from Boston.
So that's why you're so damn light-kinned. That explains it.
Easy. Easy.
I just understand, man. If I if I were to come to your house, right, and rub on your door, would I get three wishes?
You would get I've heard that. I'm not even going to give you that. I've heard that so much. And u.
I didn't say I was going to paint you blue, though. Like that's a.
Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Uh and my my um my grandfather on my dad's side is from Antigga. Uh four generations removed. Well, um nice $100. Thank you.
Thank you, Jay Freeman. Appreciate that.
Um and you know, it's just.
You know, we trying to learn, man. I I I I ain't going to lie, man. I mean, this is a fight that is it's discouraging, man. And it is really discouraging. It's painful. But the work has to get done and we got to keep pushing. And.
Man, I I just I I just, you know, I I really think that people need to educate. They they need to read and read and read and read and read and read. And if you not, you know, when you start say some of them is good. Anytime I hear somebody, well, maybe some of them is good. Read uh medical apartheid and and uh.
Dectable Negro.
Dectable negro. And you you see the true.
Essence. Also, have you read um have you read um They Came Before Columbus by Ivan Vanserta?
Yeah, that's up there.
Yeah. Before the Mayflower by Leon Bennett Jr.
That's there.
Yes.
That's there. Um.
Listen, blew my mind when I was in uh college, freshman year college. I was like.
Francis Crest ISIS papers. You know what is a real good one? I um let me see here. Um This one is uh the plutonium files files.
It's uh Have you read that one?
Yes sir.
Okay. And uh which is the experiments. I mean people talk about the Tuskkegee Airmen.
Right? This is uh radiation experimentation on on on soldiers and uh acres of skin is a real another one which uh where they did experiments on on prisoners and I think in Philly. Is it in Philly?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes sir.
Okay.
So, but I mean you know you you push you read you keep you stay you know you you push and you read and you keep you keep aware and you teach and you know my you know my I mean My, you know, my my thought process about this is always changing and.
And and hopefully you get progress. I mean, but I think the progress comes from the education from overall education. Just grab and read everything that you could read. It changes your mind, opens your brain up.
Um, my podcast is Man School 202. I uh I usually go live at 6:00.
6 o'clock on Tuesdays. Um, and um I'm doing come I do comedy all all week long. I mean, I'll be in the city. I'm I'll be out in London in September. I'll be out in London in August. Um and uh sometimes and I sometimes I open for Gotfrey.
Um and I'm trying to get my own thing together, you know. So.
Right.
Um.
Yeah.
Appreciate you, dog. And we'll you know, we'll.
Work out that next week thing. I'm try to try my best. Thank you for having me on, man.
Oh, man. Thank you for being here, bro. Your listeners, you know.
Thank you.
[ __ ] with me or or giving me the time or not [ __ ] with with me. I get it. You know, everybody ain't going to love you. Um.
Yeah. And that and that's cool. I got one one final question, then get your uh you're done.
Um, so, now that you've had this conversation with me, we've been at this for two and a half hours. When you talk to uh when you talk to Godrey, what are you going to tell him?
I'm going to tell him you should have a conversation. I'm going to tell him you have a you should have a conversation. And and it's and it's uh you're a legitimate dude that you should have the conversation with.
And you know that and I'm you know.
You know my I mean you know I don't like nobody that's well that's what he thinks. So if I you know what I'm saying if I you know I'm the I'm the I'm the negative. No not that one you know. So.
