Remiss, No, no, no question.
Is that easy?
Yeah, there's no doubt Uncle Remas. I'm from the West Side though Uncle remis Is is a west Side spot. But I've had both heralds where people really try to compare it to us. Is like the South the mound sauce. Herold's got like a the mounth sauce got like a tang it's what you like. It got like a tangy sauce to it. Where Uncle Remis is like a sweeter. It's like a sweeter sauce. It just tastes better on the chicken to me.
So I agree too, bro.
And I actually hear heralds before I ever even hear un Kareemas, so damn you know, uncareemis Is is definitely where it's at.
I mean, it is our resident chef here. You on Akareemas heavy like that's all.
Kareema miss all day. Yeah, it's not even heroes all right. Terms of how I feel about that arvy sauce on the wings, ain't it.
Ain't it about arby sauce? Yeah, it's like it's like a tangy.

It's all right, you know what I'm saying. I got to be in the taste. I got to be in the mood like the Wone heroes. I gotta buy well heroes got to be like right there and I'm homeging on the August MirOS. But when I go to Uncle Reemas, it's because I want that. That's what I want. You want to get that?
For sure.
We already saw the episode off of the Friar question. What was your craziest show up today so far or your most memorable show?
Mm hmm most memorable show man? I hear some good nights. Uh like you team you like you're talking about like.
Some crazy shit whatever you feel? Wow shit crazy shit good ship.
Uh? Well, all the shows have been have been great. The only show like some wold shit happened was Uh. I was in Dayton, Ohio at the Funny Bone and I probably was about maybe about forty five minutes into my setiness he was drunk in back with her guy and she didn't like something that I said, I guess and she just like stood up and was like, hey fuck you. I was like, damn, Like what I do to you and like, you know, all the other people in the crowd, like they paid to see me. They like, no, no, fuck you, Like so now they with me and she, I mean she I couldn't even understand what she was saying. So my security went and you know, was trying to talk to her. She's still just yelling. I don't even know she was talking about she had a job in two houses and shit like I don't know. I don't even know what I said that triggered this. I don't even know if it was me, it might have been her guy. I don't know what it was, but they but anyways, my security escort her out out the place. They ended up putting them both out, and man, like two weeks later, I'm in Detroit getting ready to do her show, and I get a phone call and they like, uh, yeah, this is Officer such and such from Daton, Ohio. And you know, we're calling in regards to a situation that we're involving.
You.
Are you like a celebrity, coubmedic, comedian or something. So I'm thinking somebody playing on my phone. So I was like, man, if you don't get your bitch ass off my phone playing on my phone like this and I get ready to you know, hang up, and he was like, no, this is you know, this is a serious manner. And when I heard his voice, I'm like all right, I'm like what was going on? They was like, well, it was an incident between your security and this lady. And she's saying that he took her and slammed her on her head outside of the comedy club and they want, you know, and she's looking to press charges. And you know, we've been trying to get in contact with you. We talked to your agent and you know, he said he would give us your number, but he never got back to a shout out to my agent. But so they end up catching up with me, and you know, I had to let them talk to the security or whatever. And they looked at the cameras and you know, none of that stuff, you know, never had happened. But it was just crazy, like people alive, Like people will just make up ship, you know what I'm saying, just to check to get a check. And I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm looking at the camera. I don't got nothing for you. I don't got nothing for you. Yeah, I don't got nothun We need to double check how they can get these get in these little shoes or whatever.
I give them these, but I ain't got nothing for you.
So yeah, that was that was probably like that was probably like the craziest thing that you know, probably had ever you know, happened on the you know, happen on the at a show. But other than that, like you know, I got good, uh, I have like a I have a really good show I gotta do. I do about an hour and a half and it's just a really good show. A lot of crowd work. You know, it's a very interactive show. It's very personable compared to like what I do theaters and stuff like that. So I got one of the best shows out right now. So that what happened.
And you can see the prove you know what I'm saying. Boy doing double shows in the city here.
Yeah, shows man on Wednesday night. I don't care because Thanksgiving tomorrow, Like it's still Wednesday.
But it hit different.
Niggas ain't going to work tomorrow. Yeah, you do your help a little bit speaking to help, I gotta ask do Hecklers help your show?
Do Heckler's help, because I.
See, like a lot of times, like comedians are leaning to that, like a Heckler shows just like I've been waiting for this, said I got for you.
It depends on who the comic is. A lot of comedians. If you're a comic that like you off the top and you can rock with the crowd's I said, I do a lot of crowd work.
So my show is very personal.
So yeah, you know, for me, you know, a Heckler can give me something and I can ride that ship for the rest of them life.
And I just keep calling the back and keep calling.
When you think I forgot about it, I come right back to it, you know what I'm saying. So for me, yeah, I appreciate the good Heckler. Now the Hecklers you don't like. It's the ones that don't give up. They just keep They just keep like you didn't already killed them everybody in the laugh and now you can't you can't move over to the show. And at that point it's not fair to the other people that pay money to see the show. So you know, it's fun within it, like get it out. You're gonna yell out something, yell it out, get it out.
But you sucking up the bar. Don't suck up the bab for you. Like when they be having people of course, like a couple back and forth. It's cool, but it's like, all right now nigga shut up. Yeah pretty much, we don't be saying that back to people, don't nah.
I used to. It depends who it was.
Say.
I wouldn't gonna.
I called a dream of fat nigga something like that. I was your fat ass up something like that.
But bro a that nigga was chubby back then.
But I was gonna ask you, like, did you start off doing comedy on the internet or like was you grinding in the comedy clubs and stuff like that.
So I started doing like skits in like twenty fourteen, and then you know, I was growing like fast, and I was like, man, you know this is not gonna make sense, Like if I blow on this and being like they be like, hey, we want you to come to a show, and then I can't delivering that ass, it's gonna hurt you. So I probably start I started May twenty fourteen. By October twenty fourteen, I was getting on stage, so it kind of I was running it simultaneously at that point, so that way, I'm like, when I blow, I'm gonna be ready ya, it's real, so and I'm ready. Who you look up to?
But before you started actually taking it serious, who kind of gave you some inspiration to start doing that shit for real?
Man?
I I'm gonna say this, what you what you're supposed to do, Like when you destined.
For it, It'll happen.
It'll come to you at the time of your life that you're not even really paying no attention to it, like that, this is what you're gonna be. In fifth grade, I should have knew I was gonna be a commedi And I say that because we were on spring break and that's when The Kings of Comedy came out and everybody was on spring break and we watched it and came back to school and I'm reciting Bernie Max Hole set to the classroom go.
You know what I'm saying, I'm I'm.
Set for set. People even laughing like they my jokes, you know what I'm saying. But I'm just saying because a lot of people, you know a lot of kids I was going to school with, they parents ain't let them watch that, you know what I'm saying. So I had seen it and I had a love for it. Then I had a you know, a fatuation with it then and I wanted, you know, and I used to always watch Comicview and stuff like that. But not one time of me ever watching this or ever you know, reciting the jokes and nothing that I ever be like, Man, I'm a big a comedian one day, not and not never.
So when like.
When it when it started like to really grow on me, I was watching like a lot of Kevin Hart, a lot of Cat Williams, Like you know that first special that Cat Williams came out with shoes.

Yeah, he's from Chicago. Who your favorite? Who your favorite sports team in Chicago? The Bears us a well known fact that I'm a Bears fan, though all over ESPN I saw. I just wanted to say where leaning tours. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to hear that. By the way, Yeah, I hate that for you. It's gonna be okay for justin fields.
So football, I feel or basketball you're more of a football head or basketball.
I'm heavy in football. I like basketball. Basketball is not interested in me into the playoffs. Nigga, eighty two games.
That's a lot of motheruck.
Games, bro, Hell a lot of games, y'all like that y'all used to play all yeah, hell of games, bro. Don't nobody pay attention to them?
Ships to but when it count, like we need this game to get a playoffs by or like that's when it mattered.
That's when that should be intense.
The N Season playoffship been cracking though on it, But them N Season Playoff game has been cracking.
They was doing that yeah at the end though right now they're doing it.
Like a little tournaments. I heard about that.
Millions five hundred k. I believe it's five hundred k for everybody. But ship them game has been crazy, and I think that they keep it centervised on that. It's gonna keep it, but it's gonna keep things interesting. Then that's where that goes to what we were just saying. Eighty two games and ship that's a long as season. That's a long season. It ain't baseball. There's no reason why they should play that many games in base that's.
Have a double headers. That ship's crazy play to one and back to back. Though I just came in.
We are I think, I will say though baseball is so it used to be so slow, but they just split it up now for the pitch a pitch clock on there because I threw out the first pitch of the Cubs game, man, and I was like, man, I don't think I'm being able to stay the night.
Time.
Yeah, you don't know, you don't know, and then like I'm looking at my dad was like, yeah, they got the clock, and I'm looking like it is moving a little faster now.
So yeah, baseball, baseball is cool.
I would go football, basketball, and then baseball and basketball. You know, I'm a Chicago guy, so I'm I'm a Bulls fan, and you know, we.
Just what are you a Cubs fan or a White Sox fan. The Cubs led me throughout the first because most people with the White Sox Cubs.
But even before that, I'm a Chicago fan. If the White Sox are in it, I'm a root for the White Sox. If the White Sox and the Cubs are in it, if they is, it's both of them, I'm going for the Cubs. I'm a Cubs fan. And I think it's kind of like the Cubs and the Bears are kind of like, okay, they kind of like like the Bears, so they got this connect with us. Maybe it's shout out to sam which one both.
The white woman.
Shot the white man. He was cold too, though, the white Sammy cold. The white Sammy never played no hera.
Yeah he did.
On the field, he started transitioning early though, chill, you said he's transitioned to what Yeah, we can move.
I'm not about to get me tied up.
Never mind, Yeah, Sam, what I was what I was saying, What I was saying, he wasn't playing when he was like, That's all I'm saying with it the fun with you though, Sammy was never looking like oh boy, they played Michael Jackson though.
They didn't even use make up the La milk space.
But the thing what Sammy is is like he just popped up like with nobody don't notice. Like he just popped up the next day like bro.
Yeah Sam, Sam, we got in there and got out of there. You don't even see him no.
More, Sam, send me back on the island, chilling.
What is he popped up when he was in the transition for us, So he was you know what I'm saying. He was still a little bit of like unused how Coco mix and next we've seen that nigga. He was all okay, And it was confirmed that he did bleach his skin though, right yeah, but allegedly just to catch you don't get allegedly it's compired, but allegedly just to catch me.
Gets okay because he is I hate that.
It's confir, It's confirm Mike tappa in.
So there's nothing wrong with us saying that.
Oh no, he bleeves.
Charlemagne who look lighter though he ain't like Sammy. We don't care about that big noticeable change.
I'm gonna be Mark maguire, goddamn it somehow somewhere.
But I mean a lot of people. Do y'all know the girls now they're doing it. They bleaching their BODYO.
Shout to Kanye.
Kanye started that.
No, he said, God, crazy trends.
Yea a lot of while said y'all said that.
Listen, you said.
Niggas choc the factory, R and P.
That's different, Nah, But who is the who?
Outside of course ye, who is like the hardest artist to come out of you know what I mean so far as rappers like out of Chicago to.
You my favorite right now.
And it's only because not it's not only because we work together, but working together, Uh just gave me a different level of respect for his artistry and who he is.
But Little Dirt, for sure, Little Dirt.
Dirt come up as far because when you've seen the movie with Chief, he really got cracking.
He was always around and like he played his position but still did his work.
And then he transitioned like he he he was able to transition into a mainstream artist. You know what I'm saying, Like he dirt is star bro, Like for sure, I ain't gonna like And I told him when we were linked up, you know, I didn't even realize he had gotten that big. Like you know, I knew he was a big in Chicago. I had no idea, but he had did a show at the United Center in Chicago, and I mean he was a headline and I was like, like, bro, this is I'm like, this is crazy. And then you know, after that, Dirk really was what transitioned me into the toxic skis that I started doing. So that's how we ended up coming together because I the first video that I ever did at that ring camera was about Dirk proposing to India because I was at the I was at the show that night when he proposed, and that night I said, you know what, I'm finna play off of this because I know it's gonna be on the Shade Room. Five minutes later after he proposed, it was on the Shade Room. And then I went home the next day did a ring camera about this big fate ring that was like seven dollars and left the price tag on there, and I'm at the ring camera like, man, you see Dirk just proposed to India, like you know, I'm trying to make it right with us, like I'm trying to And after that, it just you know, that took off and then you know, Dirt came earlier this year about April and DM me like out of nowhere. I didn't even know it was him, and was like, hey, I need you for this video, and I just thought it was somebody else because it's around the time they started giving everybody the blue checks. So I'm like, all you know, I'm like, I go back and look at this and some rapper just you know, he ain't playing you no money or nothing like this is how I'm like. And something was like go back and look at it. So I went back and look at it and it was like it said like the voice two point zh and then I clicked I'm like the voice. They had like seventeen million followers. I'm like, damn, it's Dirt. I wrote them back. I'm like, when you need me to get there, what you need and he was like, man, what's your line? Now?
Gave my line and we talked. He let me know what it was he wants to do. They they send me the song.
Then he ended up flying me out to LA and we did the video, and I mean the video was the collab was legendary for Chicago, but the video was dope. And just watching him work, like watching him get on you know, get on SAT and you know, I mean knocking that shit out, you know what I'm saying. And you know, I'm listening to the people that's filming and they're like, yeah, Dirk one our favorite artists to work with because we don't got to tell him.
What to do.
He comes in, you know, and I just did not. I just did not expect that. I think a lot of times a lot of the drill rappers are the you just don't You just don't see it as okay business. This is a real entertainer, like this is this is real skill, Like no, he's really like he's.
Really talented and like to piggyback on that like obviously what you've been in a comedian. But people don't understand, like even people who just do skits and don't do comedian comedy. Excuse me, that is a skill that is not easy to do. You have to be calculated. Do you have to know your algorithm? You have to know when to post us, how to post us, who is going to hear, how to capitalize off that?
Like that is a skill.
Yeah.
No, And just because you make it look easy on me, I ain't working.
I tell people all the time, like, you know, I post a video yesterday, it's probably just hit. It posted about yesterday, maybe about two three o'clock before I got here, it was at like nine hundred thousand views, you know what I'm saying, And it was it was very like the way I put it together was very calculated.
You know.
It's little stuff that I put in there, like and I'm gonna do this. See.
The key to it is you won't always want to get people to comment. People think it's always about the lights. Lights don't mean nothing.
Comment.
You need the comments, and you need to share what the comments do. When they comment, and the engagement is there and it's people in there talking, the algorithm reads that and says, Okay, people like this because it's a lot of people talking about it, let's push it out more Yep. When people share it, they sharing it to their audience, people that may not be following you. And now you know, these people are seeing it, and now what they're gonna do. They gonna click on it, and now they gonna go calmly, And that was driving the engagement. You know, it's driving engagement up.
So no, it is.
It is a calculated thing and it's and it's it's nothing out here that's gonna teach you how to do it, you know what I'm saying. And I came in the social media area like like I was kind of like maybe in that second or third tier maybe maybe third fourth tier of you know internet sensations that that sorry to blow. And it's so you gotta self teach yourself that stuff like Instagram had when I was doing videos, Instagram videos used to be ten seconds long. Ten seconds long. You had to tell a story in ten seconds. Vin seconds, yeah, or Peter Von was early Vine was six seconds.
Vin was so far like obviously vin.
Vine is like what it's what TikTok is now, but it's just longer. You could just make longer content, but six seconds is all you had. Ten seconds is what you had on Instagram and.
It started to grow and grow and grow.
But to go through those transitions and see it like you had to self tea. It was nobody out here teaching you, like about algorithms and teaching you about, you know, how to create content and what to be looking for. Like I never thought the comment I used to be cool with fifteen hundred likes and a hundred comments.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying. People liking it, they were, but people liking it. It's cool. You know what I'm saying. You won't that you want it because it looked good, but it don't.
Get you paid.
But it ain't gonna get you paid.
You pull up in the meeting. You had no sponsorship opportunities. You don't see a light in none of that paperwor they go to the comments.
Engagement.
Many medias upset in they always say, or your engagement, the engagement. The comments are crazy. It's just so many people talking in there. And I say stuff purposely, you know, to like. For example, I did the promo video for the show out here and I said I had an Airbnb and Haulville.
Shout out to the vill.
My nigga. I hope that ain't true.
But here's a thing though, you know it ain't true, because one, why would I tell people where I'm be staying at and then too go back to calculator?
Right?
I knew I had to, and I do this every season I go to I gotta. I have to relate to them somehow. Yeah, they know who I am. I could post a flyer and say pull up. But my goal is to sell out as many shows as I can. So if they see a five listen maptown, mess with me so hard. I hadn't even posted about the show until Sunday and the first show was already almost sold out. It was only like twenty tickets left to that first show. I posted a promo to get the second show going. Now I got the information that I needed. You know what I'm saying, You just find somebody a tell me a little bit about the city were hood at, like where where's rough at?
And then they you know, they tell you like that, oh.
Yeah you should you know this place that place you know, or you know this side of town or that side of town. And what happens is as soon as I say, man, I got a airbn me in Hallville, what happened? Now they in the comments, oh you can't stay over there now they can't look.
Where you say he's staying at.
And now they tagging and they sharing, They all, he don't know about the ville, you know what I'm saying.
Now they now, now you're getting.
All of that tapped in the community, tapped in with the community because now they like, even if they know it ain't real, they like.
Oh he did his research.
They appreciate that you.
Care enough to know where we from? Where where are we coming from? The they even come and see like you care enough to know that, Bro. Some cities I done went to where they told me, don't you know. I went to Cleveland and went to the hood and stood on the corner and was like, y'all do the Airbnb I supposed to get, supposed to be right here, It ain't right.
Here, you know what I'm saying. And I got the streets sound right behind me. Yes, a million views, six shows, damn Cleveland eighteen. That's great market. I want to talk to you about these crazy as toxicad toxic videos bro for those, but it's.
Just toxic stuff.
Man.
I just felt like, I feel like, uh, you know, it's crazy. Since I started doing the videos. How many My following used to be like eighty percent women, twenty percent men, and now it's like sixty percent women fifty you know, sixty forty. Now I was like, yeah, it's like sixty forty like my male following. It's just like definitely just like being jumped up. And it's crazy because I never I never expected it. And I think they got a lot to do with the increased ticket sales because it ain't just women making their men come out to see me. Now now it's like, shit, the guys like, I want to go see your nigga too, because you talk like and.
That's far because I see it. They treat rust it like just on the boys. Shit.
Yeah yeah it's toxic, bro, bitch, Bro, it's toxic. But this whole generation below us, it's all toxic.
That's all they know.
That's all they know.
That's all they know. I know. But some of that ship is you know, coming from the crib too, bro. Yeah, it happens a lot of niggas like Future Man, he's the goat. See a lot of people like Future. A lot of people don't like Russell. Russell ain't did nothing. Nobody did nothing.
Teammates don't. No, I don't funk with that. That's wrong. Nope, what Russell out of pocket? His teammates don't fuck with him.
He said, I can't call me outside of work, bro, I work with I don't want to talk to you.
Bro, And we're not gonna take up for Russell Wilson.
I'm just saying, Russell ain't doing nothing wrong. It's far read stepping in that woman's life and being a good step father and you know, him taking care of his family, being a good family man. I'm talking about outside of the crib.
Bro. People don't fuck with him like that. I don't know what he do outside. Okay, I'm telling you a piece of shit outside.
Yeah, I believe it.
It ain't worth a quarter.
What's the name, Marshan Lynch said. Marshaan Lynch was the did a podcast and he was saying like that.
Russ was like that. I just don't don't you know.
He said, y'all just giving him the benefit of because he is a dump and this understood, it's unders.
Whatever.
I ain't gonna call him a gump, but nothing like that, Russ, I don't know what you be doing. This man right here in the black Air Force ones. If you see him away head that way, my boy, you see the white lace's dame boy, you see the white.
What he's saying, Broncos County, Let's ride.
That's why he got me up. He was going the press conface Broncos Country. Nigga, I would slap the ship out of you.
Keeping balling this.
Year though, yeah, because they did so bad last year that five hundred, look was great.
This year they've been decent.
For sure.
They've been going crazy in the division, but they division little but still Russ.
They division the Chiefs and that the vision yeah, and who else outside of that? Uh? The charges the charge is not bad.
They're about the fire head coach. Yeah, but they competitive though forre Justin Herbert, free him.
Free Justin Fields too. Man, that's my guy, y'all. He deserved better. Respect you saying he deserved better?
No?
He uh?
Man, just you know, I was at the game in Detroit and just I mean he just got all the tools, man physically gift the talented.
He's smart. You know what I'm saying.
I just think that, uh, you know, bad organization. Yeah, I can't say that, you know, wen't respect the content.
But what I will say is that, you know, I think it's some I think it's some things that could be done to like the help, Like the dude could really be a star in the league, you know, under some you know, some some its circumstances. Like not that the circumstances are bad, but I feel like if the team was, you know, was playing to his like his strength, kind of like what we've seen in Detroit Sunday, Like they played in the strength.
They moved him around, He made some throws, he made some runs.
Just at the end of the game, I just felt like they took the ball out of his hands and and and the only way that I feel like you'll ever know if a guy is the guy have to put the ball in his hand again. And they took the ball out of his hand. And that's what was hard to watch. But I talked to him before the game and he was locked in. Oh yeah, he was locked in. He's really focused, calculated man. You just you know, he just need he just need the right the right situation.
Then, and I wonder what they'll do because obviously y'all gonna probably get another one pick because the Panthers are completely asked. So then He's like, now you pass this year having another one pick and you trade it away out to get Kayleb Williams. I don't think so I feel like I don't. Here's the thing about that is that you can't. I feel like Justin is better right now. He probably will be the first couple of years. But as a general manager that buys you, Let's.
Say this, first of all, Caleb ain't ain't just been crushing this year.
Caleb, he's one, He's one.
But Caleb been having a couple of point. He been having a lot of bad.
Games, a lot of He's had a lot of bad games this year. And looking at him and Justin, right, here's the thing, this is what happens. You bring in a rookie quarterback. Now you set that, you setting the clock back on the on the whole, on the entire rebuild. There's no guarantee that any rookie quarterback is just gonna come in and be absolutely Bryce Young. There's no guarantee. There's no guarantee that c J. Stroud is going to be the same quarterback next year. But teams start to adjust to figure what it is that he does well. So if you if you're really rebuilding in this team from the from from the ground up, which they did. They stripped the whole team down. They traded away a lot of players Roe, Kawn Smith and Khalil Mack and and all those guys. When you do that and then you turn around and you draft another quarterback when the team has other major needs, yeah, you're not You're not building the team. I agree, because you're getting a rookie quarterback.
You're infrastructure again.
You getting a rookie quarterback and you're gonna throw him into the same situation that Justin Fields is in. So how is the team you're not building. It's gonna be the same thing. So and then in three years they're gonna be like Kayler Williams not it.
He gotta go. When you know you got a guy, anybody listen.
I was sitting in the stands and I'm listening to the Detroit Lion fans saying, man, this guy's good.
Listen when you know, listen. I got other friends in the NFL that play on other teams.
My homeboy played for the Philadelphia Eagles, and when they played them last year, I asked them, I asked them three years go, when Miss Trubisky was our quarterback and I asked him, I say, hey, is mister guy and he was like nah. They was like, we knew all week. Well you know how we can stop him? When they played Justin Phieler asked him, I said, man, we got a quarterback. Now he say, well, y'all got a good ass quarterback. It's a highly regarded defensive player in the NFL. That I'm saying. That's saying this. So my thing is what I would do with those picks. The offensive line needs to get short up. We need some defensive line help, a wide receiver and a wide receiver, so I say get Marvin Harrison Junior with one. Now I feel you on that, but that is a very tough call to take a receiver that high, the take awide receiver that high. But think about what he and think about what he would be coming here, coming to Chicago too.
We would We already got DJ Moore over there. He's a dog.
Co Comet is trending into being one of the top tight ends in the league. And then we put him on the other aside and then Darneel Mooney in the slot.
They can run it up.
Marta.
You have to get a couple of steals to you have to build. You gotta build it.
But do you trade one down then, because I would you probably have to trade one down.
I would trade that the first pick.
I would trade that down to get an additional to get an additional pick, additional first round pick for the next year, and then the first round in the second round of this year, and then they can still get Marvin Harrison Junior to get an offensive lineman, and you will have two picks in the second round. Like bro, they literally could this team literally could be. Here's the thing. The Bears they like three and eight right now, but they've been in every game but one. They've had an opportunity to win.
Work for the Bears. You tapped in.
Yeah, no, I'm just.
No.
But just me looking like at the you know, just just looking at the situation. I just wouldn't Rea set that clock back and get another quarterback. We haven't been known to develop quarterbacks anyway.
Now I ask you this, say, quote unquote, you trade justin fields and you get two picks, what if you could possibly get Caleb and Marb Harrison in the same draft.
Well, we're not gonna get to pick field. DJ playing mad.
Yeah, I think nobody.
Question third No right now, we can for justin fields right now where the team would be willing to give us, if you gotta think about it. He didn't miss ten games over the last two seasons, so you know it's some injury concerns because he running and stuff like that. But we could probably get like maybe maybe like a low second third round pick.
I agree with you from a regional standpoint, but do not underestimate how dumb ass g are d ms are in the NFL, because we've seen some back up like.
Some sadass quarterbacks go for crazy name one ship. Look at Carson went Straight.
You got to think though, Carson. When Carson Wentz got traded, he was in the m v P conversations like the year before that, but he was asked, no, he wasn't when they traded him. They did think about it was hot. They struggled.
They struggled. It was hot too. But I'm saying Nicko was on that Super Bowl yeah, but he was before it.
Was before Carson Wentz. The reason why they get there.
That ship, that team was good, that defense was legendary. It was just fine with nick vote. But I'm just saying, yeah, it's dumb as gms. That would definitely, But that was.
Carson Wentz was a different situation though, like they had they did that, like there was a lot of pigs. You gotta think about it. The Jets they traded away at first rounder for Aaron Rodgers. That makes sense. I don't care if Aaron Rodgers was fifty two.
You gotta do it for the money regardless you got, you you make that.
If you feel like the rest of the team is short up, your defense is good, you got all the pieces of offense, and you just missing a guy that that can really sling it, then yeah you trade around the first take.
But yeah, my bad. But if it ain't worse an extent double But if.
But if you, if you, if you looking at it in justin field situation, like a team trading for him, it's not gonna be a trade. It's not gonna be a team that's gonna trade for him. That's like one that's just a quarterback away.
That's the fun up part because he will be that mister Peace that could take a team overhawk.
Yeah, he can help a lot of teams right now. He would.
Geno Smith is doing good in Seattle, but he'll take Seattle to a whole other level.
You put if you put him on another team that's competite and getting what he needs around him.
Justin Fields could be a top five quarterback.
In the L and he'll take the Cowboys to the super Bowl.
I'll welcome that because I hate the Cooder. Noah, Cowboys ain't going on super Bowl, not in our lifetime.
No Jerry Jones ain't doing it right now in our lifetime.
I would hear that for from you today, Noah, reluctantly.
Man, they figure that boy out, Yeah they did.
I knew it was amount of time, but that's what I was That's the same thing I was saying about c J. Yeah, you see, brock party on was on a rot us, but they just figured it out.
Now. So that's what CJ will be looking at next year like now, if.
They don't get him weapons out of pocket.
Because the crazy thing is brock Party had the best offensive fucking skill players you could have.
You got Debo and c mc bro you.
Can't take around draft pick. Yeah, so at some point, oh.
Yeah, he was going when it became his job trading tree lance.
Just they shouldn't have did that.
Like you said, people NFL people talk about justin fields and people talk very lowly a tree lance.
I felt like, here's the thing. We just didn't get a chance to see trailing. We did not, but a little bit did we that we did see. It was like justin fields. There was some flashes there like like he had the potential. I mean, he gonna get a chance in Dallas, though I can't wait. I don't think he ever gonna get a chance. They loved the code.
Bro oh after this year, Bro, we're gonna We're gonna be good and we're gonna go to the playoffs and lose in the second round to a team. That's what we do, and then you go to the second round, will win the first round. NFC is not as crazy as people think because South.
Fans be delusional and they it's just levels of the.
We can beat in the super Bowl, every team that division. It's just the Buccaneers and Saint We could be.
That Niggatta prebeditate it.
So what we do when won't playoff game and lose, that's how I go delusion.
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'll take it out. What you got going next? Man, what your problem for the people?
Man? Uh, well, I might as well go ahead and say this. The Wee the Ones Comedy Tour y'all is coming to Indianapolis Sebruary the seventh, I believe, And we're gonna be over there with them Indiana.

You know what I'm saying, Just be fun be funny within the games. And I wasn't understanding that at first, Like I was so focused on making sure that I was playing the games right. Then I had to go back and watch man DC, Young Fly don't be doing nothing at the games is supposed to be doing it? Just be you know what I'm saying. So, but he's funny within the games. And once I figured that out, that's when it was like, Okay, just go have fun. And then it's crazy you ever been doing something?

So yeah, nah, but shout out to Nick. Though Nick has really like, you know, I can't think I only did one season. I can't think him enough just for the love and you know it just humbleness and just everything, like it's just him himself. And I'm gonna tell you I used to always be like, man, I don't want to do wild'n out, And I think it's because I was afraid that I would fail. But I used to use that as you know when people I don't want to do that, you know, you know, I used to try to play it, but it was because I was I was afraid that I would fail. And I said, man, the only way I'm ever doing that, Nicka had to come hit me hisself. And then Nick hit me, and then it was like I can't. Now I gotta go, because that's all I've been saying.
