[Lord Jamar]

And now just a rolling start.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

How long you have been. How long you guys been doing it so far on your own?

[Chuck Nice]

Four and a half?

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah, something like that.

[Godfrey]

Four and a half years?

[Lord Jamar]

20. 21.

[Godfrey]

It's been this long since you guys broke out?

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Wow. Damn. Time.

[Lord Jamar]

And I know you don't know much about this podcast, so I'll give you just a quick brief of what this show is dedicated to. The shape of the Earth.

[Godfrey]

Are you Lord Jamar?

[Lord Jamar]

This entire pod is not current events, not about music. We're strictly here to figure out what.

[Godfrey]

The shape of the controversial episode.

[Lord Jamar]

I came in here. They didn't get on the same path as me. That was the greatest podcast episode I've ever seen in my life.

[Chuck Nice]

Hold on. But before.

[Godfrey]

Before we get into that, you guys are paying attention.

[Lord Jamar]

Paying attention. I watched it three times. I subscribed to Professor Dave. I watch his YouTube to this day.

[Godfrey]

He's.

[Chuck Nice]

He's not lying. He's dead serious.

[Lord Jamar]

I came in here like, yo, have.

[Godfrey]

Y' all seen what's up with you and Jamal in the Flat Earthers? What's going on with the Flat Earthers? Don't make no sense. Who gives a about what the shape of the earth is? And this is supposed to be 5% peace to the gods in the earth.

[Chuck Nice]

This about some flat Earth. Right, right, right.

[Godfrey]

You know, when talk. When they breath go away. I don't give a. This don't matter. Does it affect you going side of their mouth?

[Chuck Nice]

The funn part about all this is this originally was a Zoom episode. We was gonna have Godfrey on Zoom. And I came in here, I'm like, yo, I think Godfrey lives in Manhattan. Why are we zooming?

[Godfrey]

And it was like you. And I said, yeah, man. He's like, yo, I'm right there. I'm like, yo. He was like, you didn't get to say where you at?

[Chuck Nice]

And now he's here in the studio. So. Thank you for coming by, guys.

[Godfrey]

No doubt. Appreciate y' all. I know you guys sort of.

[Chuck Nice]

Sort of?

[Godfrey]

Cause I was like, aren't you. You're like, don't say it.

[Chuck Nice]

Don't.

[Godfrey]

It's all right, though.

[Lord Jamar]

I do appreciate that you blindly accept podcast invitations, because when we got on Zoom, you're like, ain't you the guys.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Coming over there.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, we appreciate that.

[Godfrey]

Yeah. Because I watch and listen regardless of what happens in us biz, you know, everyone's doing their thing. Things happen. It is what it is, man. I mean, look at. With the Flat Earth and shit. Yeah, I don't even. I hadn't even spoken to him in, man. Over. Over the shape of the earth. That's what's hilarious.

[Chuck Nice]

So you haven't spoke since then at all?

[Godfrey]

No, because I don't. I don't. I didn't do anything.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

Well, here's the thing, okay. He was like talking about the shape of the earth. And I go, all right, hey, why don't you have. When we bring. Cause we were Gonna bring Neil DeGrasse Tyson on there, okay.

[Lord Jamar]

He said that he was gonna debate him.

[Godfrey]

Cause Chuck Nice, my man Chuck Nice is his co host on his show StarTalk. I've done StarTalk with him. I did also. I did Neil DeGrasse. Neil DeGrasse Tyson's show on Nat Geo. We shot at the planetarium. So I know. And I said, yeah, let's call Neil DeGrasse. Cause let's put a black man on there to talk to another. So. And Neil degrasse was too busy. So he's like, well, this guy Dave, the science communicator said, hey, man, I'd like to debate this dude. Go ahead.

[Lord Jamar]

Well, you're leaving out a part after you guys had that conversation.

[Godfrey]

Yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

Professor Dave did his reaction video with a glass of cognac in his hand, which I grabbed some as well to watch that reaction.

[Godfrey]

We're all drinking now.

[Lord Jamar]

I'm on board. Professor Dave is in the mix, yo.

[Godfrey]

So I was like, this is great. Yeah, it's science, man, right? It's a debate. Who gives a. Like, right? And I go, hey, I got a guy. Because of course, I didn't surprise him. We said, hey, would you like to. He goes, yeah, I'll come through. I said, well, cool. And so he's on there. And before, remember, before he even got on the screen, yo, that I was in a shot, I was like, oh, oh. So I just kept quiet. And I'm not trying to embarrass anybody. You want to battle? And he said, I'll even go against Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He's not a real astrophysicist. He's an actor. I was like, huh, dude? He was. If you guys, I'm a real nerd. So Carl Sagan was the original Cosmos. Carl Sagan, you know Carl Sagan is. No, well, Carl Sagan was the. Walt. Neil DeGrasse Tyson hosts Cosmos. But the original host of Cosmos was Carl Sagan. This white dude, dark hair, and I love Carl. I grew up on a Carl Sagan watching Cosmos because I was into astronomy and shit like that. That. And so he was Neil DeGrasse Tyson's mentor.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

And you know, Neil DeGrasse is from the Bronx.

[Chuck Nice]

Yes.

[Godfrey]

And he was. When he was studying science, you know, Neil degrasse is a. Was an all state wrestler. He was a free. Yeah. And he's also. Yeah. And when I got into science, I met, you know, Carl Sagan. He gave me like a blessing. Boom. Boom. So all in his. That's how his life has been. He's a real scientist. And so he goes, yeah, I'll debate anybody. And I said, cool, right? This will be awesome.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And what's funny, he says, oh, I was just doing it for clicks. I go, who isn't doing shit for clicks?

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Lord Jamar]

That's how you live, how you titled that episode.

[Godfrey]

I need clicks. That's how you get money.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

And so he got on there, and when he said what he said before the guy got on, I go, oh, boy. So I just sat there and Dave stood. Stood his ground.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, and he went at him and.

[Lord Jamar]

And Dave is also a very. How do I put it? Arrogant. Yes, arrogant with stipulations. Because what he's saying is factual. But it can piss somebody off.

[Godfrey]

Just the way he's being snarky.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah. Like.

[Godfrey]

Well, if you understand what a ball is. Idiot.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

It's gravity, dumbass.

[Lord Jamar]

He's going to piss somebody. Somebody from New Rochelle, he's going to piss off. The way he speaks.

[Godfrey]

Yeah. The way he's talking. Yeah, of course. But when you're right, you're right. That's my thing. And I'm like, you handle this. I just want to watch. I'm not trying to go back and forth.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

You know, because I. I know science, but I'm not that deep in it like that, you know? But you really want to battle this flat earth shit, because for me, I understand why flat earthers have come into play. I understand because we're lied to so much, just in general, everything lies to us. Lies to us about food. They lie to us about everything. So I understand when people go, conspiracy theories. That's where conspiracy theories come from.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Is there the presence of God? Is there such thing as a Jesus? You get it? Because lie a lot. So I understand the flat earth thing.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

And I'm. And what's funny is there's some things about flat earth that make sense. You go, you know what? That kind of makes sense. I like people that even if they're wrong, they have some. That you go, well, wait, A minute.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

So that makes for good.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, good conversation and so go ahead. What are you gonna say?

[Lord Jamar]

I'm a huge conspiracy theorist.

[Godfrey]

Okay.

[Lord Jamar]

They accused me of being a flat Earther for a long. And granted, I went and went through the same YouTube rabbit holes that I'm sure Lord Jamar did as well. I was like, nah, it's probably. But I still believe in a lot of other conspiracies.

[Godfrey]

There was some stuff that made sense. Yeah. You know, perspective wise. Okay. If the. If this is this. Why don't we see the curvature? Then I brought my buddy on. My buddy Calvin Stig. Stiggy. He's a pilot. Jamaican. My boy is Jamaican. Is all hell. And he studied geospace engineering and he was. He protected Obama. Obama. He was an Air Forceman. Like, he did the Tom Cruise that. He did the tricks and all. So he. He goes. He goes. He said, what? Blood clot. The Earth is round. He's like, I seen the Jamaican is saying that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. You gotta believe it.

[Godfrey]

When a Jamaica go. I seen.

[Chuck Nice]

It was.

[Godfrey]

I was on 80,000 felt. When they go, bumble clap.

[Chuck Nice]

You gotta believe him.

[Godfrey]

He said, dude, he said, bumba clap.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

Vibe said the same thing. He said, kill that person.

[Godfrey]

I was on the ear. I swore up. I said. He said, it's real. So it's real. So there is curvature. It is what it is. It's like. Because I don't know. Because I don't fly. I don't. You know, so what if. What if those pictures that we have seen of the Earth are fake? What if they are? Because we don't. We're not satellites. We have. I haven't. I'm not Superman. Where I can fly and go, ah, it is round. What if they're lying to us because we're here on the planet? We don't know what the they're doing up there.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

They could be. I'm saying they could be lying. Yeah. With the moon landing. I. You know, the moon landing, I'm still.

[Lord Jamar]

On the side of them.

[Godfrey]

I'm doubting that, you know, especially after those space cunts went up there.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I'm sorry. The Cosmic Concerts.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah. Call them by the proper names. The Cosmic Hunts.

[Godfrey]

The Cosmic Cunts. Went up.

[Lord Jamar]

Did they go up? Didn't go to space.

[Godfrey]

There was some air and there. First of all, where's your helmet?

[Chuck Nice]

At minimum, them like.

[Godfrey]

First of all, where's your pressure suit? They even have at least motorcycle helmets.

[Lord Jamar]

I saw ar.

[Godfrey]

They could go at this on opening. Wow. I'm just saying. I don't mean to insult him, but I was just like. And you. And then you have Katy Perry describing what the happened. Why would you pick her? She's like, it was just love. Love and connection and just love. And we were just there and connect. What are you talking about? We're talking science. Like hey, I felt the gravitational pull. And then Bezos's wife with that. You would think that she had all that face done that the gravity would have. Her whole. Would have been like, oh my God. Yeah. My whole operation her would have been like. You see what it looked like a. Yeah. It was no. There was no effect on that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Godfrey]

So I was like we're. And they were like this. Woohoo. We're in. Beth.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

If you're in space, if you're on a high speed train, you're like this. Oh right. If you're. Oh, you know, I do that getting off the fdr. You're like oh, God damn. But you're in space and you're just going.

[Lord Jamar]

Look at my daisy.

[Godfrey]

Oh my God. A daisy means kanacha. And then they came out like, yeah. If you come from space, you're like, yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

That was like.

[Godfrey]

You know.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And then Bezos tried to open a door. They already opened it up. He was like close.

[Chuck Nice]

It.

[Godfrey]

Was like, yeah, well we saw it.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

No X to make sure his wife is okay.

[Godfrey]

Yes. And you know what? And then it's like you can't weak. Our bodies can't handle those kind of forces. You know when you're in an airplane 35000ft and your pressure then come on. There's pilots that go higher than that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

The you talk. These pilots are up there with helmets on and oxygen and you. Yeah. And you're higher than they are. But you're like, yeah. Spe. The final frontier. Yeah.

[Evan Lionel]

These are the people.

[Godfrey]

Like Spock, we have to go in turbo. Spock, he's like this. Captain, I don't think we can make that. He's like, damn it.

[Lord Jamar]

Even on tv this makes no sense. Even Star Trek look like real face.

[Godfrey]

Like, yeah, I don't think we can make it. I think that force will suck us in. Spock, we have to get there. Spock spot. Right? And these like yeah, yeah, we were there. It was love. It was connection.

[Chuck Nice]

Like it was brunch.

[Godfrey]

It's not time for feminism in that high altitude. The is wrong with you?

[Lord Jamar]

Is there any gender in space.

[Godfrey]

Connection?

[Lord Jamar]

And what the not that she found about love up there. It was the fact that she decided two days later that she needed to learn how to walk again.

[Godfrey]

Again. Did you see that concert she was doing? That was trash. Her concert was garbage. Straight. That was so bad. She was. She was. I said maybe she did go rickets.

[Lord Jamar]

They left her up there.

[Godfrey]

Gravitational forces done her knees up.

[Chuck Nice]

Oh my.

[Godfrey]

That's when she was in that. Dressed as a. That was at least she should have been dressed in that to go to space. Yeah, but there are all these sexy suits and then there's Gayle King, right? And there's Oprah's body double. And then there's. I call her Oprah stunt double. Because if Oprah's like in a car scene and she rolls out, it's Gail.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Godfrey]

And there's two scientists. Were real scientists. The girl, that's the Vietnamese girl who was actually, you know, she was like sexually assaulted when she was a science. Yeah, she's gone through a lot. She's actually a real. The astrophysicist or whatever. And the black girl, it's the. The in the middle, there's the Vietnamese. No, the Vietnamese chick in the front. That's the lowest and the black. They're two real astral site. So I think they brought them in to just keep the hoax going. But it was some bull. They went straight to Katy Perry first. And I said, oh, this is they up.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

She's like. It was just love and connection. We're just that she was all love.

[Lord Jamar]

Gail, like kind of had a little sassy attitude. Like when she was like this.

[Godfrey]

Like, she's like, have you been? Then you tell me. I'm sorry.

[Lord Jamar]

We ask you what happened up there.

[Godfrey]

Your friend is Jeff Bezos. Space cost a million dollars a ticket. I just did. I was just on kayak to get my ticket to go to North Carolina. You talking about. I was using my flyer miles and negotiate it. Just trying to go a two hour flight. And you talking about, have you been to space? That's what. I knew it was bullshit. I'm sorry. Have you been to space? So when you get to space, let me know. Have you been to space? No, we haven't. You're the only ones that have obviously been there. Because that's why you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[Chuck Nice]

Right, right.

[Lord Jamar]

Flint doesn't have clean water. And you went to space for funsies.

[Chuck Nice]

I totally forgot about that.

[Lord Jamar]

That Flint didn't have clean water.

[Chuck Nice]

No, I went to Flint. I'm talking about this space voyage that Gail King and I'M going to remember the interview.

[Godfrey]

She goes, people don't believe it. Have you been to space? If I have a friend named Jeff, a friend at Jeff Bezos. I' right, and he'll pay for my day. But you didn't go to space. Have you been to space? You obviously haven't either, because you're not explaining anything to us. You could have been like, well, the gravitational forces, it was really amazing. We saw. Then we saw cosmic dust and. Yeah, just some space talk. Like you could have at least like, we. I think we saw like Haley's comet come by, right? And we saw there's an asteroid. We were able to see, you know, the moon, the craters and I mean, I know some science. Like, tell us something, right? Even like this. Have you been to space? Well, if you don't know space, shut your ass up. And you know how they use the word space now, just in general, I just love this space that we're in.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, that's kid.

[Chuck Nice]

That's what that was.

[Godfrey]

We were in a space in space. It was sort of a safe space in space, which was sort of space like. And it's spacecraft. So everything's about.

[Chuck Nice]

Everything's about space. Respect our space.

[Godfrey]

Spacey that I'm spacey from the space. And in this space, I was able to really be in a safe place for space. And this is a good working space for me. And, you know, and people who don't know about this space know nothing about space.

[Chuck Nice]

So where are you? On the side of the flat Earth?

[Lord Jamar]

I still want to take Lord Jamar to Antarctica.

[Godfrey]

Do you remember when they did the experiment recently? $35,000 a piece for these flat Earthers to go to. Because they say that Antarctica, there's an end at Antarctica. There's some other big land. Okay, there's a wall.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

So this dude's like on the other side, Right.

[Godfrey]

I'm curious.

[Lord Jamar]

There's a Rothchild island right there. Go to Google Maps. Is there a Rothchild island in Antarctica?

[Godfrey]

Yeah, I believe that, though.

[Lord Jamar]

No, it's a fact.

[Godfrey]

Snow castle.

[Lord Jamar]

I'm. No, listen, I'm saying that the Earth is round. I'm also saying that the Rothschilds own an island in Antarctica.

[Godfrey]

And I believe that along with that, it could be the, the Rothschilds, the Rockefeller. Yeah, I believe all that now. But as far as, like, he goes, okay, I'm gonna take you guys to Antarctica, fly you all out. This guy scientist paid 35,000 a piece. Yeah, I got the money. And then we're gonna sit There and watch the sun. If the sun stays in the air, stays out for 24 hours, it. The earth's round. They were like, okay, bet. And they camped out. That sun stayed there. And they were like, that's cgi. That's AI Right?

[Lord Jamar]

They. All right. So they were there. They took like, Flat Earther influencers. Like, they took the Kendall Jenner of Flat Earth down there, right? And then when they got there, there was like, yo, now the 24 hour sun exists. Like, we.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, yeah, it's. It's real.

[Lord Jamar]

Then they exiled them like some Scientology. Like, they kicked them out of the flat Earther community.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, they're out.

[Lord Jamar]

Because they were like, guys, I was there. I promise you that was not.

[Godfrey]

They were. And if. And they're like, it's round. Earth is round. It's. It's. Right.

[Chuck Nice]

So now they kicked out of the fraternity.

[Godfrey]

Yes, kicked out. You're out of here. You think it's fucking road. You think it's a sphere. You're out of here.

[Lord Jamar]

And the Internet is just the worst place. Because when I was.

[Godfrey]

How they make their money, though, I.

[Lord Jamar]

Wasn'T even looking at the flat earth shit. When I started on that rabbit hole, they were telling me like, yo, there's no flights from Argentina to Australia. And I was like, damn, why is that the case? Then I went on Priceline. I'm like, no, you could fly misinformation as a. And if you don't double check, it.

[Godfrey]

Doesn'T go to Trinidad. I just found that out yesterday. They don't.

[Lord Jamar]

So it's got to be a triangle. If you look at the Trinidad go there.

[Godfrey]

Jet blue does, though.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, you can get there.

[Godfrey]

They show the lines. JetBlue has more lies. Now we're going to Trinidad.

[Lord Jamar]

At one flat earther rabbit hole, I went down. They showed footage of everyone taking off from Australia. And they said. Said they were forcing everyone to put the windows down so you couldn't see.

[Godfrey]

Yo, but these.

[Lord Jamar]

Yo, that's a good idea. Where are we at right now?

[Godfrey]

I gotta give credit to flat Earthers that. Keep going, they'll go like this. But no. And how come the wing was tilted?

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Guess what that means. That's the flat earth. The gravity. And then we were talking about. There was a thing about buoyancy. You saw that?

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah, of course.

[Godfrey]

Okay. How come when you dip a tennis ball in a ball of a ball in water, like a tennis ball, and you spin it, the water comes off? How come it doesn't. The water doesn't fly off the earth. He goes, hey, dummy. Because the Earth is a gigantic mass, a humongous mass, and, and gravity exists and there's a, you know, there's a force that keeps us down. You know, when you throw a ball up, it goes down.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

It's like, well, you know where down is, remember? He's like, do you know where down is? And in, in buoyancy in the equation, if you can even pop it up, the equation for buoyancy, there's a G for gravity on the other side of the. Of the equal sign, right? A G is in the. The is in the equation for buoyancy.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

And again in the equation. Why do things float? There's gravity right in the equation.

[Lord Jamar]

Guys, I'm stupid, so it's not like I'm sitting here like I know everything.

[Godfrey]

No, me either.

[Lord Jamar]

But this makes more sense to me than someone just screaming, hey, a ball can't. What's their famous line? Can't hold water. Or whatever the they say, right? It's. And I'm like, no, when they said it, I was like, hm, That's a great point.

[Godfrey]

Easily disproven right here.

[Chuck Nice]

It's a great point.

[Lord Jamar]

I have a lot of love and respect for Lord Jamar. I don't want to make. I don't. I don't want to make it seem like clowning him. I was on his side in the beginning and I thought in the, like, yo, listen, you making up some great points. And then Professor Dave just was like, dog, all right, let me break this down for you.

[Godfrey]

And, and, and Neil DeGrasse t, you know, have you heard when him and Terence Howard wrote some stuff, some scientific theories, and Terence was like, I believe that, that the planet. There's no such thing as zero. Because if you see, I've done a lot of calculations, you know. He sounds light skin.

[Chuck Nice]

That's what he sounds light skinned.

[Godfrey]

I love Terence Howard. He. He sounds light skin, though. I sound like a dark skin. He sounds light skinned. See, nobody dark skinned sounds like that.

[Lord Jamar]

He hits S's.

[Godfrey]

Here's the thing, though. You have to understand the philosophy and astronomical calculations. I've done this for a long time. He sounds like skin. That's what I love about it. But he ain't no joke. He don't play that, though. That will smack out somebody. Real deal. He ain't no. He ain't no punk. That's one thing.

[Lord Jamar]

Whether he was playing a pimp, a rapper.

[Godfrey]

He amazing.

[Lord Jamar]

He wears the same thing and looks exactly the same in every role and doesn't Matter.

[Godfrey]

And I love him to be that guy.

[Lord Jamar]

President, United States.

[Godfrey]

That Batman thing where he meets Batman, like, he goes, what's up, Batman? He goes, it's Batman. Okay, that's what I said. I said. I said batman. That is his.

[Lord Jamar]

But, but when you say things with conviction like he does, right?

[Godfrey]

Because Neil DeGrasse actually looked at the paper he wrote and said, said I looked at it, but I just didn't have time to, you know. But there's some things that he said that didn't. That weren't right. But I give him credit for his effort.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

You know, there's this thing they call what's the theory? They call where you. You think you know enough. You think you know something, but you don't have enough information to really know and you don't know what you're talking about. There's a. There's a theory. Was it. Was it called stupid cognitive dissonance? It's. No, it's not cognitive dissonance. It's. It's.

[Lord Jamar]

It's a theory where you, you Narcissism.

[Godfrey]

You don't know as a go, right? Where you, where you have. You think you have a certain amount of information to make you think you know everything, but you don't have enough. Something like that.

[Chuck Nice]

The district attorney.

[Godfrey]

Puffy's lawyers. Is it. Okay, read that. Can you read that?

[Chuck Nice]

The phrase you don't know what you don't know highlights the limitations of human knowledge and the potential for gaps in understanding. It emphasizes that there are often things we are unaware we don't know, which can lead to misunderstandings or flawed assumptions.

[Godfrey]

Right. So it's that. And so Neil DeGrasse said that's what he has. He has that, you know, that's what he has. But I love his. But I. We're scientists.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

We do. We've done experiments over and over, over and over. We. This is what we do. And I'm not knocking him, but what you're talking about is wrong.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

Because I'm a scientist because I know about acting.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

Like, yeah, Terrence is an amazing actor. That's like me telling you about acting. You don't know it like I do.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

And so it, so that was really interesting that, you know, and, and it's. And, and my thing is science is there to be debated. What's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong. Even though they, they've. Since the days of Einstein and, and, and, and, And Bohr and all these scientists that have, you know, they have all these different types of. They have. They have their own theories, they have their own calculations and equations. Even back then, these are. I mean, Madame Cure. They all did science experiments over for tons of them. So these know what they talking about and it's okay to debate them. Just be ready for. Ready to get wrong.

[Chuck Nice]

Right? Just be ready to be wrong.

[Lord Jamar]

Their actual job, like, right.

[Godfrey]

Just get ready, you know?

[Lord Jamar]

You know, it's like getting in a scene with Denzel and be like, I know how to act. All right.

[Godfrey]

Are you sure about that? Are you sure? So what are we going to do? We're going to work. You're going to keep your mouth shut? Is that what you're telling me? You think you know. You know.

[Lord Jamar]

And now I'm sitting here like, I don't know how to act.

[Godfrey]

Like that girl said, what do I need to do to be actor? He said, learn. Shut up. Turn off your phone. Practice this train. Right?

[Lord Jamar]

It was. Who was Men of Society who directed that? Which brothers?

[Godfrey]

Was it Hudin? No, not the Hud.

[Chuck Nice]

I think it was the Hud. Yeah, I think it was.

[Godfrey]

Was it Hudin brothers?

[Lord Jamar]

No.

[Chuck Nice]

Oh, no, it was. Was it Bill Duke?

[Lord Jamar]

N. Society is the. The brothers, you know.

[Godfrey]

You know, you done up. You remember that one, right, with Bill. Bill Allen.

[Chuck Nice]

It was the Hughes brothers.

[Lord Jamar]

The Hughes brothers.

[Godfrey]

Oh, Bill Duke was the one who said, you know, you done up.

[Chuck Nice]

He was in. He was actually in it. Yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

So Alan Hughes was doing a podcast, I think it was like, with Neil Brennan maybe, and was talking about directing Denzel for the first time. And anytime he had any type of note or real direction, Denzel would just yell, 32. 32. He'd do it for the whole week. And then Alan Hughes realized he was saying the amount of movies he's done and saying, shut the. Shut the up. 32. 32. Don't tell me what the I'm doing right now.

[Chuck Nice]

That is Paul.

[Godfrey]

Hilarious. 32.

[Lord Jamar]

Didn't for a whole week.

[Chuck Nice]

Thought he.

[Godfrey]

Was calling it audible. 32. Set. Set 5.

[Chuck Nice]

32 is 32. Crazy.

[Godfrey]

But it's. You know that. That's what I. It's like, shut the up.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, let me do what I got.

[Godfrey]

I got. You just saw me in a gang of movies, right? Got an Oscar real quick, right?

[Chuck Nice]

Let me do what I do.

[Lord Jamar]

Know what I'm doing.

[Godfrey]

Everybody was like, den, can you like, no.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. No, I can't.

[Godfrey]

Do you see me directing you? Huh? You know, it's in. In that 30. It happened to me. I was on a set and. And when it comes to comedy. Like, I just feel like most people can't.

[Chuck Nice]

What's the difference for you between, let's.

[Godfrey]

Say stand up and then actual situational comedy? Yeah, I, it's. It. I can, I'm. I'm good at both. You know, not everybody. A lot of comedians can transfer into acting. That's one thing. A lot of comedians can go from stand up to like sketch comedy and stuff like that. Cause we have that timing thing. We do character work on stage so we can adjust easier. I'm not saying we're all gonna be the greatest at it, but we. That's why they pick a lot of comics on a lot of sketch stuff. Cause we kind of know. Cause a lot of sketches come from comics that they've watched or they'll steal a joke and just extend it into a sketch. Feel me? Yeah. So a lot of times a lot of writers from the snls and whatever will go to comedy clubs.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

To get premises. Oh, yeah. And you'll go, wait a minute. That looks like my.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know what I mean? So that's why we're real. We. We can think in sketch too. Because a lot of comics are writers.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

You got Michael Che, you got Colin Jost. They're all comics.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, a lot of my comic friends write a lot of sketches. They're all comedians.

[Lord Jamar]

So even though John Mulaney was the head writer at snl.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

Sketch. He's a stand up. So a lot of us are stand up. Colin Quinn was a stand up. Dennis Miller, a stand up. Stand up. So we can get into acting. A lot of comics can become dramatic actors too. You can, because we're angry. First of all, we're fucking angry. Comedy comes from anger, pain and shit like that. You look at some great actors. Robin Williams, you look at. Michael Keaton was a standup. Really? What? Yeah, Michael stand up comic. Michael Keaton, who's one of the best, greatest actors. Michael Keaton was a stand up. Kevin Pollock a stand up. Who else was. Richard Pryor was a good actor. Richard Pryor act his ass off. You got Eddie Murphy, you got. We can keep going. There's a lot of stand ups that can become actors. Rosie o' Donnell was a stand up comic. Roseanne Barr, stand up. Comet. We could just. It's easy to. It's easier. It's. It's harder for an actor to do comedy.

[Chuck Nice]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Godfrey]

But drama. We. It's easier for us to get into that.

[Lord Jamar]

We've seen Robert De Niro try to be a comedic Actor, actor. And it's funny because, like, he's doing mafia movies. I like. Listen, I like the Parents too.

[Godfrey]

But he.

[Lord Jamar]

But we got to be a comedian.

[Godfrey]

There was a show called the Actor's Studio.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah, I remember.

[Godfrey]

With James Lipton. Yeah, I love that interview. Chappelle did it. Yeah. And he asked De Niro, what's the hardest thing for you as an actor? He goes, comedy. It's. It's so difficult. Denzel said it. Comedy, comedy. Kim Basinger said, comedy, comedy. It's harder than drama. And it doesn't get rewarded the way it should be. I think a funny movie should be rewarded for. Because that's hard because you already go into. When you're going to go see a funny, funny movie, you already got attitude. This better be funny.

[Chuck Nice]

Right, right, right.

[Godfrey]

That, you know.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You don't go into the drama going, I better cry like a. Because the Notebook had me snotting bubbles, baby. I better cry like a. I better cry like a. Do I wanna. I wanna lose breath in this? You never do that. Yeah, you just go, drama's a drama. You don't always go to funny. Oh, that wasn't even funny. Yeah, it's way harder because there's an expectation.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, with drama, you can have laughter, you can cry, you can. Comedy's like. I just. I come for one fucking reaction.

[Chuck Nice]

So you grew up. You grew up in Chicago.

[Godfrey]

Yep.

[Chuck Nice]

What's the. Is it tougher? Like the. The comedy scene, the comedy clubs in Chicago? Is it tougher than New York, or is New York by far the to toughest city for comedy right now?

[Godfrey]

I don't know the. The landscape of comedy as far as coming up, because I'm like, I've been doing it over 25 years, so I don't. But I knew in Chicago, I mean, New York had just more stages.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

New York. And I was coming up during the Def jam times and the night it was. I ain't gonna lie. The urban was wild as. Like, these New York were like, boo. I don't give a. Yeah, I didn't even go up yet.

[Lord Jamar]

They went to boo.

[Godfrey]

They'd be like, I'm just letting you know what's about to happen to you. Don't be corny out here, son. All you see was Pele. Pele jackets and echo jackets and like that. It's like this.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Like make me. Laughter like this. Yeah. All right. You're like, damn, son, what the. You. Brooke. I did all. But in Chicago, we had our urban circuit because I came under Bernie Mac's club. So it was me, Deon Cole. I would see Dion Cole, Corey Holcomb, D. Ray Davis. I see Mike Epps would come from Indianapolis, Cedric would come from St. Louis. So we was under Bernie Mac. Shit. So we were doing urban. Like Chicago urban scene was like, you know, we had Bishop, Don Juan, you know, the guy that hangs out with Snoop. I know before Snoop, though. He knew me as an amateur. When I shot Soul playing with Snoop, Bishop came on the stage set and greeted me first.

[Chuck Nice]

Wow.

[Godfrey]

He came on, he said, baby, man, I'm proud of you, baby. Man, you've been, man. I remember when you first started, baby. You represent Chicago.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And Snoop was like, how you know? I said, I'm from Chicago, Snoop. He goes, that's why I with you, dog.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, I love Chicago.

[Godfrey]

I said, yeah, we used to do pimp shows in Chicago where the pimps would come. Bernie Mac and it would be the Chicago Bulls. When we was winning.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

When we was giving the Knicks handing that they ass, boy.

[Chuck Nice]

A lot of years of that.

[Godfrey]

That was the greatest playoff ever. That. But that was the time when I was coming to New York wearing. Wearing Jordan T shirts. Just being an. And Cats was like, no, you, man. I go, yo, I'm not playing in the game, bro. Yeah, go say that to Jordan, man. Say it to me. I'm right here telling jokes, bro. I did like that. I dug myself in a hole every time I'd be wearing Jordans. Like, Jordan had, like, real special. Like, he had a store. It was Jordan's. Had his restaurant in Chicago. And there was T shirts you could only get from that store. So I would buy these exclusive. So I had one where he's a cyborg. Jordan the greatest. And I came on stage with that in Brooklyn. I was in Brooklyn. I went. I think I went up after Chappelle or D.C. benny went up. They was like, yo, Chicago. I go, you're losing. It does no good. Jordan's still got to score 50. You. You being mad here. Yeah. Comedy show is going to do you no good, my friend. He will still score 50. Did you know the only reason why you're in Madison Square Garden is for Michael Jordan?

[Chuck Nice]

Exactly.

[Godfrey]

Don't forget.

[Chuck Nice]

Exactly.

[Godfrey]

Go ahead.

[Lord Jamar]

Did you know in Chicago at that time, because that list you just named off, coming like this is all Birdie.

[Godfrey]

Mac Bertie Mack was like the guy. And my boy, Evan Lionel Evan, my big brother, is the one that got Birdie that hooked Bernie up. People don't know Evan. Evan's like this old Chicago dude, my big brother who started the black comedy school circuit when he was in college and just put money. He was the first guy to put money in our pockets. And he's the one that brought Bernie into the scene, okay? He got footage on Bernie doing open mics.

[Lord Jamar]

Crazy.

[Chuck Nice]

Wow.

[Godfrey]

He got shit on Bernie doing open mics. I've seen it.

[Chuck Nice]

Wow.

[Godfrey]

When Bernie wasn't rich, when Bernie was just funny with his little glasses and shit. Some of them a bitch, right? Fuck your motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. He got footage on all of us when we first started. Evan Lionel, remember that name? He's the one that stopped Bernie from a life of crime time. He's the one that went to high school with Bernie. Chicago Vocational high school. Bernard McCullum. You know what I mean? He said, bernie, man, come do my shows. Do that. You talented. That's the dude we need to talk about Evan Lionel, for real. He brought us all into that. You know what I'm saying? He's still in la. And anytime. Chicago, Chicago, anything that happens with Chicago, we always let him know I'm in town. He looks out for Chicago. So D. Ray, all of us came through there. I saw everybody. D.L. hughley came through there. Everybody. Then we had a club called All Jokes Aside, which was all black comedy club for like seven years. And it was all black. And it wasn't Black Knight at a white establishment because most of the black knights.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

At a mainstream establishment.

[Lord Jamar]

Urban nights.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, I'm sorry, the urban people nights, the rough nights. Economically. But what's minimum funny is the urban nights are what keeps the clubs open.

[Chuck Nice]

Absolutely.

[Godfrey]

They make the most money. But they won't say anything about that because it. And. And what's funny is most of the African American headliners are the reasons why a lot of these comedy clubs survive. It isn't the white ones. It isn't the. Like. It's like the black ones always kept going because the urban nights made. It was packed.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Because it was like, oh, this is all night. You know? And yeah, that's. That's. That's where I came from. Watching all of the Mark Curry. I just watch all the greats come through there, man. Like, it was like, holy shit, no worry.

[Lord Jamar]

And now mall. I am tired of seeing these ads where it looks like it's a great price and then you get the bill later and it is not what they advertise. But that does not happen with Boost mobile. You pay $25 a month forever.

[Chuck Nice]

Did you say $25 a month?

[Lord Jamar]

$25.

[Chuck Nice]

I thought you said 35.

[Lord Jamar]

Not with Boost it's 25 every single time.

[Chuck Nice]

No hidden fees. 5G speeds not available in all areas. After 30GB customers may experience slower speeds. Customers will pay 25 doll long as they remain active on the Boost Unlimited plan.

[Tyler Perry]

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them is the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition and the great listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Chuck Nice]

So speaking of going back in those days, we coming up on the BET Awards next week.

[Godfrey]

Oh, I. Don't invite me to that, but go ahead.

[Chuck Nice]

You said don't invite you.

[Godfrey]

I never get invited to.

[Chuck Nice]

Really?

[Godfrey]

I don't get invited to any of that.

[Lord Jamar]

We just got invited because of Boost. Boost Mobile?

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

That's great.

[Chuck Nice]

Well, thanks to Boost Mobile. But you. You were on, like, Comic View. You did the BET Comic View.

[Godfrey]

I did that after they started paying us normal money. Because they used to pay you 150 and make you pay your own way. I found that out. I said, I'm with sag. I ain't doing that. I'm like, I'm with sag. Then they. Then they go, we're. Now we're. We're. We have sag. We'll pay you this. And I go, okay. Gentleman salary. That's cool. Yeah, I'll do. I'll do it now.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

So I did it in it, like, Atlanta, like, 2002.

[Chuck Nice]

Comic View was big, though.

[Godfrey]

It was huge. But I didn't want to do it. 150 and I'm good.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Godfrey]

But I did it. I did it four times. I did it la, Chicago, New Orleans and Atlanta.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

And, yeah, it worked out. You know, I was happy because I like. I liked Comic View. People were watching the. Out of it. It was its highest rated show. And I said, well, you pay us decent, right? I'll do it right. So, yeah, that was cool.

[Chuck Nice]

That was.

[Godfrey]

That was cool.

[Chuck Nice]

Another platform that I always speak about a lot that I absolutely loved growing up that I think we don't speak about or give enough praise to. In Livin Color.

[Godfrey]

Oh, man. Come on, man.

[Chuck Nice]

Keenan Ivy Wayans. The Wayans family.

[Godfrey]

Genius. Genius.

[Chuck Nice]

How important is a show like that.

[Godfrey]

To black comics, man? It's super important. Cause you look at something like SNL and you had Eddie Murphy who changed the game. But let's give Garrett Morris some props. Cause he was the first Black member in 1975. But then Eddie Murphy took it to a level of he was the greatest. He's greatest. The greatest SNL member ever. Ever.

[Chuck Nice]

So.

[Godfrey]

But by far, because he was the only member to host while he was on the show. He hosted SNL while he was on the show. Eddie Murphy brought it to number one. SNL was in third place. Eddie Murphy brought it to number one, period. Like, ain't nobody with Eddie Murphy. I don't anybody say ain't nobody. And there are some great ones. Will Ferrell's great. Mike Myers, there's a lot. Tim Kazarinski, Joe Pisco, a lot of great ones. Like Mary Gross. There was like, what's her name? The. Does the superstar. Oh, Molly Shannon. Like, oh, Sherry o' Terry. Like, there's some great. But no one's with Eddie Murphy. No way. I'm sorry. Eddie was the. And that was important. And everybody wanted to be Eddie Murphy. We was like, eddie. We all want to be Eddie Murphy. And then when In Living Color came, you go, what? An all black sketch? Because you were used to seeing white. All white skin. Because most skin sketch, like improv. I come from Chicago. We're Second City. That's where a lot of people from SNL come from. Yeah, John Belushi was Belushi. Stephen Colbert, Chris. Chris Farley. I. I worked as a bar back in Second City. I got a job. My friend was working. She goes, you want a job? I go, yeah, you know, I'm off for colleges. She's like, yeah, you want to work in the bar? I said, yeah, it, you know, wash dishes, make drinks. And that's when I saw Chris Farley. And I go, who's that fat dude? That dude's funny. As Tim Mead. And them. I would watch them. I'm like 16 something. Yo, that dude, that fat dude's slamming himself into the table. And. And he was from Wisconsin, but he lived in Chicago. But a lot of Stephen Colbert, a lot of people came. What's her name? What? Sherry o' Terry came from Second City. What's the main lady? Tina Fey. They're all from Second City, Chicago. So their sketch was. Sketch is big in Chicago. All the Improv Olympics, all. But it was very white. He wasn't a lot of black people, not a lot of Asians, nothing. It was white dominated. So to see In Living Color was like, yo, what the fuck? And this is. And Jim Carrey gives credit to them.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Godfrey]

Because he goes, snl rejected me. I was. The black people accepted me. Jim Carrey's like, nobody chose me. Nobody hired me. But it was Keenan Ivy Wayne, who's a fucking genius. Keenan is the one that made me who I am. Jim Carrey said. And Jim Carrey is the first guy ever opened up up for in Chicago.

[Chuck Nice]

Really?

[Godfrey]

Illinois Institute of Technology. My friend was an engineer engineering student and she was head of the student activity, the black student year. She goes, you want to open up for Jim Carrey? Because I had just started. I said, are you kidding me? I love Jim Carrey. So I opened up for him. I did 10 minutes with Harlan Williams, if you know Harlan Williams. Yeah. And I. Yeah, that was my first big. That was when Jim, right before he blew up for Pet Detective. I was in the basement with this. Just talking, talking to him. He was the nicest dude. Now I'm friends with his daughter. Years later. I know Jane. My boy used to date. Now I'm cool with his daughter, which is insane.

[Chuck Nice]

That's wild.

[Lord Jamar]

What was that combo like in the basement?

[Godfrey]

It was just. He was just like. I was like, oh, so what are you doing? You know, like, hey, what are you up to now? Well, I got this. That we were just talking normal. He goes, oh, you're really funny. It was just. And I have a picture with him like. And that's. And then after that he just. He's so talented. He's scary talented. But I always. But guys like Jim Carrey and Eddie Murphy and. And like from the Joan Rivers to the Rodney Davisville to the Richard Pryors to the Paul Mooney's to the Don Rickles to. I grew up watching Greats man. Sammy Davis Jr. Like, I grew up watching Cold Man. I said, I gotta be like that.

[Lord Jamar]

I don't.

[Godfrey]

Being average to me is trash. I don't, I don't get that. Watching Michael Jordan like a. Who would practice after the games and he would work on his. Like when you're used to watching that in your life, I go, that's how I want to be. I don't want to be. Ok. That.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

I think it's a. I think it's a. It's a. It's sacrilege for people to pay money to watch average. To me, I don't. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to like what I'm saying.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

But as far as my skill level.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Is the key.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

I'm. I grew up. I don't know. I grew up watching skilled performers and this is an era of mediocre, man. Mediocre. Mediocre. It's. I'm. I'm sorry. It's not a, it's not a hater thing. It's like if you're good. I'm gonna say it. I go, yeah, yo, that. That's what I'm talking about. Mediocre. Like, come on now.

[Lord Jamar]

Do you think it's that or we just have more access to seeing more people?

[Godfrey]

I think that the mediocrity has inspired more mediocre people.

[Lord Jamar]

I agree.

[Godfrey]

Because when you. When I was coming up, you go, I can't do that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You would just watch it and go, damn, man. When you watch Jordan and you watching Ewing and all, you go, God, that's another level. Because I play baseball, football. You know, I play. Played all that. But to watch Shannon Shark play ball, that's a whole nother level.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And I played college ball, but I was like, damn, there's people better than me. Like. And you're like, I'm decent.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Oh, this dude. What? When you go to the pro levels, I tell people the pro level. That's why when people are in the stands talking about pro athletes, keep your mouth shut. We're all. We all suck. That's why we're sitting here wearing this motherfucker's jersey. And your fat. Your face is half painted.

[Lord Jamar]

You paid a lot of money to.

[Godfrey]

Watch your faces have painted with their names on their bellies.

[Lord Jamar]

You.

[Godfrey]

And you're going, man, he missed that pass. You would have missed it, too. Stupid.

[Lord Jamar]

You wouldn't be able to take the pass.

[Godfrey]

Right, right. You're flag football champ if. Shut your mouth. Yeah, he's a flag. Yeah. So I'm saying, like, I. I just. I really believe when you perform, you want people to go, God damn.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, that was.

[Godfrey]

That's when I'm. That's how I take my. I only know. I only watch the best. So. But, like, this business is a weird. It's like. I didn't know show business was so weird where when you were good, people had a problem with that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, I'm not even.

[Godfrey]

I was like, wait, what? Because Bill Cosby. I worked. My first job was working with Cosby. Like, yeah, I was. I was an audience coordinator in Queens, New York, and I would, you know, and to watch Cosby do his knowing. No way. Cosby, bro. For real. Like, I. I saw that. This to do. To see him do his work. I was like, ain't nobody with him. Like, because Prior wanted to be Cosby, people understand. He inspired Richard Prior. Cosby is that. I know all this that's happened with him, but Cosby is the king. For real.

[Lord Jamar]

Like, an audience that he asked you to coordinate.

[Godfrey]

Oh, God. The fact that you waited for it. He was like this. He was like, wait, I gotta say it. I. I don't like your eagerness. That pissed me off. He's like this. You're like.

[Lord Jamar]

And.

[Godfrey]

Okay, ready?

[Lord Jamar]

I love that you observed what kind of audience to say it for sure.

[Godfrey]

You. You were like this.

[Lord Jamar]

You were. You did the butt on the Cosby thing.

[Godfrey]

I telegraphed it. You were like that. I did. It's like I saw the pitch coming. I smacked it out the park like this.

[Lord Jamar]

What's funny is I was going to take it back in my head like this, but then when you said, forget about the Cosby thing.

[Godfrey]

So what about. What did he. Now.

[Chuck Nice]

Say it now. Say it now.

[Godfrey]

That's in my head.

[Lord Jamar]

I deserves a. Yeah, you know, where's.

[Godfrey]

Where's the Family Feud buzzer? Like your ass thought your ass was funny. Boy, some ofUS got five answers on the board. Here's the question. Name something wants to say when he has a joke in his head or coordination. Shutting up was the number one answer. Shutting up was the.

[Lord Jamar]

Rhythm.

[Godfrey]

Cory was like. I mean, Roy was like. That's all folks. I saw you fumbling.

[Chuck Nice]

Well, you.

[Godfrey]

You, Rory. So.

[Lord Jamar]

So you're defending. You're defending him.

[Godfrey]

Whoa, whoa.

[Lord Jamar]

Sorry. Boost Mobile.

[Godfrey]

Damn. The Boost Mobile thing came off.

[Lord Jamar]

Now they don't know how we pay for these lights.

[Chuck Nice]

So you are known for obviously, your impressions. Who's the. The one impression that you probably love doing the most like this.

[Godfrey]

Right? Man, I. This is such a great show. Very good. Boost Mobile. Very good. You should have me sponsor it. Boost is terrible. What are they boosting? Nothing. This is so great. So great. It's wonderful. This is a very good podcast. I've been to way better, but I thank you. You better.

[Lord Jamar]

I really believe you can Boost support you though.

[Godfrey]

Boost. Yeah, they're wonderful, but they're pieces of. What they need is a boost from me. I should call them bootleg.

[Lord Jamar]

Which carrier would you use if you were to call in the nukes?

[Godfrey]

Call in the nukes with carrier. There's many carriers out there. I know very carriers. There's Mariah Carey. There's a lot. There's Carrie the movie. Lots of. There's that one. There's so many carries. I know very good of. Very much in carries.

[Lord Jamar]

I know all the carries.

[Godfrey]

There's a lot of carries. Lot of carries. Carrie Fishers. There's. There's carries. So many carries. I know there's. I know a running back has lots of carries. So I'm very good at it. You tried to trick Me. That was very rude. Very rude. I. My vocabulary, very extensive.

[Chuck Nice]

Who are your. We'll be talking about black comedians, obviously, in Living Color. Some great comics to come out of this.

[Godfrey]

But another thing about Living Color, they saved Fox, though. They literally saved Fox. And then they changed the whole halftime highlight that, you know, because they. The halftime. They took the numbers away from halftime show. That's how big they were. So they. They changed. They changed television. They helped Fox. And because there was a time where they say black people don't sell, which was bullshit. They. They actually do sell Tommy Davidson, Because Tommy Davidson had come to my college and performed. That's where I really got inspired to do comedy in my third year college comedian ever.

[Lord Jamar]

To me.

[Godfrey]

No. And I hung out with Tommy Davidson. And then when I started doing comedy, I did a premium blend on Comedy Central when Comedy Central was actually funny. And Tommy Davidson was my host, which was crazy. Crazy. And he had remembered me. Oh, you showed me around your campus. Crazy shit. Yeah. But they saved Fox. Black people have saved. Eddie Murphy, saved SNL in Living Colored, saved Fox, Right. Wesley Snipes saved. Not marvel in 99. Because I hung out with Stan Lee three times. My friend used to work for Stan Lee. And when he was 89, and I was in his office, and he goes. He goes, yeah, Godfrey, Let me show you a picture of you. Say Wesley Snipes there. Wesley Snipes. He saved Marvel. We were going on. We were going bankrupt if it wasn't for Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes saved Marvel. And we had seen another. Yeah, Blade did. Wow. Blade sold Wesley, I remember, huge. It was huge. And Wes and Blade one and two, then three, they started fucking it up.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Brought Ryan Reynolds in all these Parker plots. Like, he's getting corny now. And. And you never saw another Blade again. And then the Blade that was coming out, they stopped that production. 25 years later, there's no Blade, and it saved all of Marvel. Then when Blade showed up on Deadpool, people went like, oh, my God, but black people sell. Look at what Black Panther did.

[Chuck Nice]

It went.

[Godfrey]

It was the highest grossing Marvel film. We sell, man. You just don't want us to have anything. You got to get out of that old adage, man, we sell. You know why I know black people sell? Because you copy us all around the world. Everybody's DJing, pop locking, rapping. You like, black culture is the best culture on the planet. It just is. It's not.

[Chuck Nice]

If.

[Godfrey]

If it was Asian culture culture, I'd say it right. Black culture is the best. Because I see Asians on tick tock, pop, locking and DJing. I see everybody doing black. So it's obviously selling, right? You know what I'm saying? So your adage, get with it and just let people rock like black people Sell.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

We're cool. I listen. I like white actors. I've been watching them all my life.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah, you had no choice.

[Godfrey]

I love. I had no choice. I love Steve McQueen.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I love Charles Bronson.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I love Clint Eastwood. I love, love, love.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, right.

[Godfrey]

There's other people, right? Why can't there be Arab actors, Indian actors? Why can't you know. You ever see Monkey Man? Monkey. Monkey man is fire. It's. It's with Dave Patel from Slumdog Millionaire. And you know the guy, the little nerdy kid. Yeah. He made a movie called Monkey Man. See that I gotta watch. Jordan Peele produced it. Said I'm gonna produce it because he was trying to get it sold. It was like, sort of like a John Wick, but an Indian style. Fantastic. And he said, I'm tired of playing this stereotypical nerdy Indian dude. We can do action. We can do the stuff like the white guys do. And he sort of like funded it himself. Jordan Peele produced it is fantastic. It's like we don't mind seeing white actors, but the world. 7% of the world is white. 7%. Yeah. Population wise, it's. You guys go by American standards.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

7% of the world is white. 7. The rest is brown. Where the are we? What? What's wrong with showing us what. Why is it killing you to just like, look what sinners did. Save the box office again. It saved. And it's an original script. 300, $400 million. And they tried to lie in Variety. That wasn't doing well. And Ben Stiller said, why the would you do it? Do that to them, right? Ben Stiller stood up and said, why are you doing that? Sinners is murdering. We sell, man. It's just good stories. That's all people want to see themselves. We don't. I don't want to see white rom coms all the time. Black dudes are smooth as, right? We a lot you talking about. Most of the times you get your swag from us. That's how you talk to women. Because you acted like us, right? And you get intimidated when we walk in the room. So how are you the smoothest dude here? Fuck out. Out of here. Where the black rom com? Where's everybody? Everybody. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, it's like, I love the rom coms, but we, you know, 90s black movies were fire the wood 2 complete. And then it went away. It's like, stop. It's like, enough with. Get out of your head. Nobody's trying to take over. Nobody's trying to do anything to you. We just want to win. Everybody can eat, man. But it's just these, they don't sell. Who the you talk. Talk about, where have you been? Every. I've been to over 40 countries and I see, every country I see, they're rapping. I went to when I was in Lithuania. I did a show in Lithuania, of all places. They called me out there, did a show, some little festival, and they took me to a hip hop concert. It was all Lithuanians. I was the only black dude there. I'm laughing my ass off because these, like, holding dicks. And I'm sitting there going. And it said, hip hop. And I said, you guys are acting like black people. And you know what's, you know what's big in Lithuania? Basketball. That's why they get a lot of bul.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

They were hooping in the summer. In the winter time, it was cold then. They was hooping full courts.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

In Colts shooting.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

They were like, oh, no. Basketball is like religion out here. I go, of course it is.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You're being black right now.

[Chuck Nice]

Of course it is.

[Godfrey]

What I mean, in China.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I'm in Beijing. Hip hop. I was like, the. We talking about, yeah, they're getting afros. They're making their hair like ours. What do you mean we don't sell?

[Lord Jamar]

All the K pop girl groups are acting like black.

[Godfrey]

That's all Temptations New edition. It's black.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Black boy band. That's black steps. That's black.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I'm just saying, it is what it. Don't. Don't say that. We don't sell. Don't say that enough. I mean, just saying. Enough with the racial slurs. Enough making fun of us. Enough with the black face. Enough with that. We want. We run rent free in people's heads. Black people are the most famous race because we run rent free in everybody's head. Yeah, everybody's head. It's either they got something good to say or they're on, oh, okay, Someone's doing the end where someone's wearing black face. We get it. You can't get enough of us. You can't. It is what it is. We get it. You want our dicks, but you. So you gotta make fun because of Insecurity. We ain't thinking about you. Honestly, we ain't thinking about you. We really not.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

But the only way you exist is by calling us names. That just shows your existence. How about being a good human being and go, hey, what's up? That's what you do. But you got to call us names so we can. You can show you exist because, you know, we really don't give a. About you. Yeah, we really don't. And, you know, if you come with the right. You come into the right person, you can get up out here. And you know that.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Because out here got hands. There's a difference between feet.

[Chuck Nice]

I like how we do that. We just throw that little tidbit in it. We got hands.

[Godfrey]

And I told. And I said about those South Africans that are coming here. Try that. Apartheid out here. Try that. They will beat the accent out you. Out here. You got it twisted. I know, I know.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

New York is a Dutch colony. It's an old Dutch colony, But this is 1600s.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

Be careful out here. These.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Don't. I'm gonna tell you right now, it's. There's a difference between hate and race. Rage. We have rage. You have hate for no reason. Rage is all of us. We have every reason to take your head off, but we don't do that, because that's not our nature. That's not our nature. We. As long as you cool, we go, oh, man, he cool as fuck.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

But then we'll protect you if you cool. But then you go say some stupid shit. We're like, oh. We thought. It's like, okay, here's a perfect example. It's like when Kramer, Michael Richards said what he said. I worked with Michael Richards at the Laugh Factory, and I sat with him. He's a weird dude, but I sat as a comic. And then he said all the N word on my. And I remember walking down the street, and it was these dudes. They're cleaning the streets. They was like that. They got that program where they wear the blue little things. It's like a. For prisoners. They got this cleaning program. And I. And I was walking. I was standing there by the train station, and these dudes was like, man, you hear that? Kramer said, man. Man, I love that, too. I love. He was my favorite character on Seinfeld. It was black people talking about him. Wow, that was a disappointment. I said, why? Why? Why are you still on that? And then they'll say, move on. You guys need to move on. You the only race that hasn't moved on. You the only ones. You still call people niggas. What are you doing? That's an old term. 400 years. You still saying the same. Yeah, everybody's moving on but you. Yeah, you still on that old. At that old mentality. Get rid of. Of it, bro. Enough of it.

[Chuck Nice]

There was a conversation on. And because you are Nigerian American.

[Godfrey]

Was this too heavy for y' all?

[Chuck Nice]

No, no, no. This was great.

[Lord Jamar]

This is great.

[Chuck Nice]

This was amazing.

[Lord Jamar]

You sure you don't want me to ask this question?

[Chuck Nice]

No, I definitely don't want. But there was a. There was a.

[Godfrey]

From the coordination.

[Chuck Nice]

There was a. There was a thing on the timeline.

[Lord Jamar]

I can't wait to say it.

[Chuck Nice]

There was a. A thing on the timeline that happens often on the timeline where black Americans and black Africans.

[Godfrey]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Here we go.

[Lord Jamar]

Clash.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, no doubt.

[Chuck Nice]

We don't like this. And y' all. We don't like each other.

[Godfrey]

Yeah. What is that about at. Oh, that's. Like I said, it's. You can give it to the media for that credit one thing. Okay, here's the reason why the Asians got their Asian hate bill signed. Remember, they got that signed in seconds. Yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

Two days.

[Godfrey]

Because they're connected to. Because they're connected to Asia. Chinese people still got connection to Asia. And the Asians. And they got. They got deals with Asia. So they go. It would behoove us to sign this hate bill because the Asians in Asia look out for the Asians here because they got family out here that are establishing themselves, even though Chinese have been here since, what, the early 1700s, 1800s. Built the railroads for Anderson Cooper's granddad.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, it. Was it Oakland or what?

[Godfrey]

Vanderbilt. San Francisco. Yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

San Francisco. Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Cornelius Vanderbilt is Anderson Cooper's great grandfather. Father.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And there's a statue of him. I'm 46. You know, when you make that turn off of Park Avenue, that statue, that's his great, great grandfather. Anderson Cooper comes from that kind of money.

[Lord Jamar]

He literally lives in a firehouse.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, the one on 3rd street that used to be right next to the Boston Comedy Club. He bought that whole firehouse. But he's loaded like that, like Gloria Vanderbilt. That's his mother. Famous treasure. So the Chinese look out for their people and they. No, those are our people. You better sign some shit. What you doing? Africa is divided, see, because Europeans came and purposely divided the African countries. You know, you have to have a passport to go to the neighboring country. But in Europe, you could take a train to Italy, to France, because I took a train from Spain to. From Amsterdam to Spain that you don't need a passport. But they came. The Europeans came when they were colonized. Colonizing and taking all the resources. They literally purposely bordered off African countries so Africans couldn't meet each other. That's where the division comes from. Colonization, Right. So when on tv, you know, I was born in America. My sister was born in Nigeria. Me and my brother, born in America. Grew up in Chicago. I born in Nebraska. My father was in school in Nebraska. Then we moved to Chicago. So on tv, we would watch Africa, and it would be poor people, bellies, flies and Tarzan.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And I need to ask my dad, is this. Whatever. He goes, what are you talking. We have caught. We have. We were like, right?

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

So then they show that to us. So Africans, African Americans. Like, damn, these Africans are up. Then in Africa, they show black Americans being arrested, criminals, drug dealing. So they. They're. So. They purposely did that because they didn't want any black progress. That was like, we can't let these motherfuckers rise. So that's why when you. When an African meets in African American, they'd be like, oh, you black. African booty scratchers. Black African booty scratchers. I was like, we scratch our butts. I used to think, and I didn't even want to scratch my ass. Like, I don't want to stereotype. You know, I'm itching. Like, I don't want to do this. But then we were thought. And then Africans be like, oh, you guys are like, lazy. Da, da, da. And African Americans are some of the most unlike people. If you know the history of African American history, they built this country. Lazy. White people were lazy. They weren't doing anything right. Black people did everything. You'd even know that. Denim. Denim is a black invention. Denim jeans are a black invention because they created them to work in the fields. Denim, you talk about empty. Just saying. The elevator, the escalator, all of this. Black inventions. The street sweeper is a black invention, but it makes sense. We were working all the time. The ironing board, the dryer, refrigeration, it's black. The microphones we talk on, the guy's still alive. He created it. James west, black inventor. The. Our security system, 1966, of a black nurse, Mary Van Brighton, in Queens, she just. She created the security system. You understand where I'm coming from. It's like, we created so much. African Americans created. Lazy. Are you talking about. But they were stolen. Patents were stolen. Thomas Edison stole a lot of Black people. I mean, he was a great inventor, but he stole a lot of shit too. And he did a lot of horrible to Jewish people who were trying to make movies. That's how Hollywood was created it, right? They had to move LA because Thomas Edison was trying to take up. Because he. He had created the movie camera. But then there were like a lot of little Jewish, like, you know, immigrants going, I want to start. We want to start doing movies. And that's how the nickelodeons were made. The nickelodeons were little, you know, little die little films.

[Chuck Nice]

You.

[Godfrey]

You put a nickel in.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And you'd watch. And those Jewish people were like, you know, renting them out. And they were so anti Semitic. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were anti Semitic. Don't get these out of here. And a lot of of them went west and then started crew B. Mayer, Warner Brothers. These are all real people. Fox, William Fox. They started creating their own, you know what I'm saying? Because of people stealing all. You know what I mean? I'm just saying. But survival. It was just survival. That's why when you see, like the whole Jewish story is heavy, like they were getting their asses whooped and they go, let's create our own shit. Same with black folks. Creating, creating. Look at all of America. American music, all of it. Blacks, people oppressed. We create country music. Country music is black.

[Chuck Nice]

So absolutely.

[Godfrey]

All that. Yeah, it's black. It was poor black people singing and poor whites, like, I won't sing too. You know, Bluegrass, we call it Blue Grass. It's black.

[Chuck Nice]

Well, the banjo is black.

[Godfrey]

It's African.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, absolutely, it's African.

[Godfrey]

There's. There's a. There's a museum in Scottsdale, Arizona, of all places, called the Music. The Museum of Instruments. Instrumental music. It's Mim. I think they have one in Austria. When you walk in there, it's all the instruments from their original origin from every continent. They divide them all in. Africa is the biggest one. Of course they have Australia. If you look at Australia, you'll see they have video of the actual instrument being played. Australia, you got to see Australia. You up. They show the aborigines, okay? And so everybody's like. Like, who they. They go, those are the original Australians. And they're playing the didgeridoo. They're playing all these instruments that people thought it was white. And it's the. They show the black people with their. Their tribal marks, and it's just them. And I go, the original. And then when you walk into another place, there's the original Banjo. The banjo. African. So all these hillbillies have been going playing in Africa instrument. You understand? So all of that is like, all of that. They don't want. That's why they, you know, this administration, we got to stop black history. We got to ban all the books because they don't want you to know what the. Has been done. What they did. Because most of, let's be honest, most of black American history is about being on.

[Chuck Nice]

Oh, absolutely.

[Godfrey]

That's all they were being. And it's. And that's why they go, we don't want to talk. No, no, no. We need to talk about it. You know why we need to talk about it. We got to understand why you still acting that way. Way right now. You have to know history. And I don't want to sound corny. You have to know history to assess how A is now.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Why do you act like that? Where's this coming from? Well, we just move on. No, but you call me the N word. I need to know where it comes from. Oh, gotcha. That's. So that helps me to be able to navigate.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You understand? So it's like, okay, if you go to the doctor, what's the first thing they pull out? What's the first thing they pull out?

[Chuck Nice]

You're in insurance form.

[Godfrey]

I know some real shit.

[Lord Jamar]

We can't help it.

[Godfrey]

But the first thing they pull out is your medical history.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Godfrey]

They go, oh, and they make you go, you can fill this out. Have you had. Do you take. It's all history.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

The dentist to bring out. Okay. When you was last here. Let's see. That's the same thing, but for us it's always just go, can we just move? But everybody else's history gets talked about, but us is like, oh, here we go with the black.

[Chuck Nice]

Black.

[Godfrey]

Well, you're enjoying half of our. You're enjoy enjoying black every day.

[Chuck Nice]

Every day.

[Godfrey]

You just got back from Beyonce concert and you're mad about history. Now you just. Beyonce comes from this pain.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Jay Z comes from. Where do you think hip hop comes from?

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

It comes from pain. Black people were doing it. It was we. It was black folks rapping. Period Jay ass black everything. Scott, Scott, Scott. Music is, it's. It's. It's Caribbean rock and roll. And it was a lot of white bands playing. The punk rock is black. You can look at the. You can look at the band called Death documentary that predates the Ramones. Black.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Stop rock and roll.

[Lord Jamar]

Most of what Led Zeppelin stole was.

[Godfrey]

Oh yeah, they Got sued for plagiarism. Nobody, no white guy goes, I'll be your back door, man. That's a black riff.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah, that's black.

[Godfrey]

Black, yeah. White guys don't talk.

[Lord Jamar]

His name is James Brown.

[Godfrey]

Hey, baby. That's a black riff.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

When you go, baby. But that's black singing.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

It just is what it is.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Godfrey]

The only reason why we say it like that, we gotta express it because you have been putting us down so much. But the very thing you're playing is the people you hated are the ones that created it. Because anybody that plays music, you have to go through black people, all of them. They'll all tell you, oh, he started listening to Muddy, Walter Altars, and we start listening to the Temptations and Motel. I watch a lot of rock documentaries. They, you know that new, that new documentary, yacht rock? You know about yacht rock?

[Lord Jamar]

I know what yacht rock is.

[Godfrey]

It's just like Michael. You know, Michael McDonald.

[Lord Jamar]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You know, what a fool. All that Skags, Boss Skaggs, all of that George Benson, all that, like. It's like soft rock, but not too soft, but funky. I'm watching the. Watching it on. It's a great. It's a. A great doc. And I'm watching it. And these guys created this. These. They did these skits about yacht rock. They made it up and they have these captain's hats and they play this music on this boat. And it was just that type of music. Soft rock, but not. But rock, but doesn't rock too hard. And it's right in the middle. And Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross are main people from there. And. And then I'm like waiting. I'm like. I'm waiting for the black part.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

So I'm waiting to go. Basically, we're playing like Black Flag said, I told you. Yeah, yeah, of course you are. That's why we love Michael McDonald because he has a black sound to him.

[Chuck Nice]

A lot of people didn't even know Michael McDonald was black until I found that out.

[Godfrey]

They didn't know Billy Caldwell was Bobby Caldwell.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, that's some of your favorite song. And they, they didn't know hall and Oats.

[Godfrey]

I. They're from Philly. I read a whole thing about it. There used to be this really good magazine called Wax Poetics. Wp. They got RA about like mus alternative, like underground hip. It was a dope ass magazine I used to get from Barnes. And. No. And I was reading about hall of Notes and they go, we learned all that from the Temptation. They used to Take us on the road. Motown. The Philly sound at Philadelphia. The sound of Philadelphia. Tsop. It was all the Patti LaBelle's and we learned from them. I go, of course you did. Because you. You play like them, right? And. But I don't. What I don't understand is the same people you plur from. You don't like. I don't. That's a weird. That's. That's a disease. That's a psychosis to me. Toni Morrison said it. It best. What are white people without racism? What are you? Are you any good? You're just out there strung out with your little. What are you without it? What. I'm just.

[Lord Jamar]

What are you, Irish?

[Godfrey]

I know. You look very Irish, Rory. I was like, yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

G said, well, you look very.

[Godfrey]

Yeah, but, but, but the Celtics. The Celtics come from Africa. Celtic. Celtic. Celtics. History is African. If you know about the Celtics. It's African. African. It's. You look it up, really read. Yeah, it's African. So, I mean, but then the story of St. Patrick's Day, that snake thing, had to do with the pygmies. Had to do that. Them getting the pygmies out of that area. I just. And there was an Irish historian that said it. I was like, what? He goes, he didn't drive out the snakes. It was the African pygmies that were there. That's where it came from. So, I mean, a lot of people got a.

[Lord Jamar]

We tried to change it to getting the British out of. Yeah, but I know the original.

[Godfrey]

Right.

[Lord Jamar]

It's the Africans, but we changed it to make it fun.

[Godfrey]

Yeah. I'm saying Trixies. But the Oompa Loompas in. In Willy Wonka are black slaves. But they change it to green people. Yeah. I just read all this. I just look it up. I go, what the fuck? Yeah. Yeah, man. So it's like the history of us and society.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Has been. It's been fucked up. So when we talk about our history, it's all. All about you with us.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And then. But the fact that we create this cold ass called jazz and blues and beboping, gospel and sk. That's. That's some magical to me. And then you profit off of it.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

You could at least say thank you. Because they go. Because, like, you know, when you talk about this, people go, you don't like white people. I said, why now? Why are you going to there? Why? You're just uncomfortable. I'm talking to you. Why am I. I don't like white people. I don't like your behavior. It's the behavior I. I judge. Judge people by. There's black people I don't like you talking about.

[Chuck Nice]

Absolutely. Absolutely.

[Godfrey]

I judge people. But you're so caught up in not owning up to anything and learning that you're. It's the guilt. You don't like white people, really, Right? Is that what it is?

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

I go, I shouldn't like you. At least I got reason. At least I got reason to. Not like I really have a reason to. Not with you, but I'm not like that, you know? Yeah, but you don't have a reason to hate us. You just do. You just. I don't know, nowhere. I don't like you. Why? Just don't like you, huh? What kind of sense does that make? Yeah, but you all up in our soup, though. Yeah. Yeah.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You all up in our soup, though.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

And I even said, okay, segregation, that's fine. Well, let's have segregation then. But this time it has to be equal, though. You can't come and burn our towns. You can't come and ride with your sheets and. Yeah, that's. That's. That's a. That day's over. You ain't gonna try that this time.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. No, no, no.

[Godfrey]

You, you, you. You ain' that's facts. You're not doing that. Yeehaw. Here.

[Lord Jamar]

Second Amendment exists.

[Godfrey]

Yeah. Yeah. It's no good when the rap. It's no fun when the rabbit gets the gun and are gunned up.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. That's a fact.

[Godfrey]

And I. I've seen these videos where everyone's like, man, come now, dog. Yo, man, we ready for all this race. If you ready for that smoke, dog, that's cool.

[Lord Jamar]

We have switches.

[Godfrey]

My thing is, like, they talking about race war, but as soon as your mom or your daddy get up, now you going. Gonna be like, wait, stop. Yeah, because you've done too much and people ain't playing with you no more. The rage is different when it's built up. Built up. You don't know what a man is capable of.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

When it's Ray. When you're just hating off of just. When you have real, real rage, and this is years of it, you're dealing with the wrong man. Yeah, you don't understand. People are tired of this kind of behavior. Women are tired of men with their same thing. Women are tired of this. We tired of that. Stop. Yeah, we're. We're sick of it, man.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And you can see it now. We tired of that. There's rage. I Just hate women. Why? You came from one.

[Lord Jamar]

I got. I got news for you.

[Chuck Nice]

It means you're gay.

[Godfrey]

Right? Right.

[Chuck Nice]

News for you.

[Lord Jamar]

I got news for you.

[Godfrey]

And that's real.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Godfrey]

Like, why do you hate him so much? Why? Yeah, like something's wrong with you. Came from one bro. Like, it's, it's that same thing. Yeah, but don't underestimate them. If they tired of your. That's all I'm saying. I'm just like. You know, I just. That's the thing. I think of it. I always said, when you're a conscious man, you're a doomed man. That's what James Baldwin said. It's like you just. When you. I read so much. I've. Since college, I've always read. And you know, in Chicago, I would go see ministers. The minister, I would go see him live.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

So I was just learning so much and I was around, you know, I had sister soldier come to our school. Stokely Carmichael, Francis Crest, Welson. We had Duba Ben Wahad, who was actual Black Panther member with Afini Shakur.

[Chuck Nice]

Okay.

[Godfrey]

He's in the doc. You see the documentary. Tupac, of course. And he's in that. And he came to my college. I. We sat with him. So I was that dude.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Listening to Public Enemy Care where. It's like all that brand new being.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Piece of the gods and earths.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

The flat earthers.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. And the flat earthers.

[Lord Jamar]

Piece of the flat earth is crazy.

[Godfrey]

But it was like all of that consciousness was like. And I go pro. Blackness doesn't mean anti anything. It means pro. We proud of who we are. Because you have to exaggerate your pride because people are on you every day. And then the, the. The images. Think about the images they show of us. So that's why we're Africans. And blacks would fight because, oh, you guys are lazy. Well, you guys don't have no food. It was media.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

But now you see things are changing. Look at what Ibrahim Trore, the brother from Bina Faso and the Mali, and they've kicked out the French. Like there's some. There's a couple of black leaders that are coming together, going, we're going to have no more taking our anymore because Europe survived. I didn't know that Europe was surviving off of African resource. I. When I was little, I was thinking, wow, they got diamonds. And where did they get all this from? They were stealing from Africa. Yeah, they were stealing.

[Lord Jamar]

I didn't know the reason the UK is a small ass island.

[Godfrey]

It's not even a continent. It's a peninsula.

[Lord Jamar]

Europe is sink in 10 years and.

[Godfrey]

UK is so tiny. United Kingdom.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Lord Jamar]

United with who?

[Godfrey]

Right, Right. It's like you primitive Africans. The spear is one of the smartest weapons ever, ever, ever invented. You can do everything with the spear BO staff. You can do everything. Hunt, you can do. Walk with it. You can. And we were the primitive ones.

[Chuck Nice]

Right.

[Godfrey]

It's like, but, but I understand if you're less, if you're a smaller group of people, how do you control a bigger group of people? You got to find ways to divide and conquer. You got to. It's actually a brilliant. It was brilliant. Brilliant.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

Gotta give him credit for that.

[Chuck Nice]

Absolutely.

[Godfrey]

Then you. You mentally them and say you ain't for a long time, and then they start fighting each other.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

And then they want to be like the guys in. It's actually brilliant. I ain't mad. I'm mad, but I ain't mad at it.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah. You understand it.

[Godfrey]

That's the only way. It's like, it's all about capitalism, money, domination. I get it. You know, but at this day and age, like, come on.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, we still still doing that.

[Godfrey]

We got people like, you know, you probably just your boy. You gonna back him up on anything. Like, this is my man.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

You talking about. There's groups like that that grow up. There's. There's white dudes that grown up with nothing but black people that are adopted by black people. That and vice versa is like, nah, this is my man. This is my man. Give a who you are.

[Chuck Nice]

Right?

[Godfrey]

You talking about, like, you know what I'm saying? That's the we should be on.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

You work with the people that you work with. Hey, so we all make mistakes, but owning up is the right thing to do, you know? Degree, Cool Rush deodorant. Well, last year they changed the formula and it did not go well with their fans. Degree's whole thing is it turns up the sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the original Formula. One guy even started an online my petition. And degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original cool rust scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's Annie purse Sprint for the last decade. It's the same reason why People were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG degree. Cool. Rusty for yourself. Hey, everybody. Tyler Perry here.

[Lord Jamar]

So Rachel, the Apollo.

[Godfrey]

Rachel puts it together. Puts. That's what she does. She's a producer, line producer. She does all that. She knows all the business. So she put down a whole schematic of what? It's the cost, the over everything to detail. Send it to Shaq. No, man, it's too much. And then he sends me his contract of what he did. You know, Shaq All Stars.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah.

[Godfrey]

I go, shaq, that's not the same thing. You. You just got a bunch of comics doing 10, 15 minutes. This is a special.

Yeah.

Has to look right. You. Your looks like you shot it. You go goes, no, that's not true. I was like, dog the man. I go. But Shaq got me off my ass to do it. I gave him that credit. I'm still asking for some kind of money.

[Chuck Nice]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Godfrey]

What about for a commercial, motherfucker? But he kicked me off. He was like, yo, you gotta. You gotta start. You gotta do your special. And Will I am gave me some money. Like, I didn't ask for it. He gave it to me. He's a fan. Will I am's part of executive producing it. And another brother named Rodrigo, who's just a capital venture capitalist that was a fan of mine.

[Lord Jamar]

Rodrigo, one name, last name.

[Godfrey]

Like, my boy said, I don't care if it's coke. I'll just go, yeah, 100, 200, 300. But he's a. He's a businessman who's been a big fan of mine and just really contributed too. I didn't even ask. And then I got a great message. Can I. I play that. Where's my phone? Hey, can you view my phone? Watch this. This is pretty kickass. I like to brag about it, but Hopefully, I won't have to brag and I'll be his friend and it'll just be normal to me. But I had a really nice message left for me for this, and I. And I don't even know him like that, but he's. He's. He's liked my stuff before, and it's a big deal to me. Watch this. Ready? Are you guys ready?
