WEBVTT
00:00:01.064 --> 00:00:02.188
What's up to all the bleaks.
00:00:02.188 --> 00:00:07.511
You already know what season we're in season 5, everything 420, movie review, the classics.
00:00:07.511 --> 00:00:14.451
I have my great co-host, ralph, and we're going to talk about a classic.
00:00:14.451 --> 00:00:16.839
There's no stranger in the world of 420.
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:21.195
And in fact this movie right here really showcased this man's talent.
00:00:21.195 --> 00:00:25.342
Before he is the name of today now I think he was a.
00:00:25.342 --> 00:00:31.525
This movie really showcased him being like his intro to the world versus, you know, black stand up and everything else.
00:00:31.525 --> 00:00:33.926
And Dave Chappelle is half baked.
00:00:33.926 --> 00:00:37.448
You know that movie is a great classic.
00:00:37.448 --> 00:00:41.289
I enjoyed rewatching it again after all these years.
00:00:41.289 --> 00:00:46.526
And we're just going to go ahead and talk about this movie right here, because I'm sure a lot of you guys are familiar with it.
00:00:46.526 --> 00:00:53.192
And Ralph for you, your first impression of this great Dave Chappelle movie half baked.
00:00:53.192 --> 00:00:54.926
What did you think about it?
00:00:54.926 --> 00:00:55.026
I?
00:00:55.045 --> 00:00:55.889
thought it was crazy.
00:00:55.889 --> 00:01:00.450
I remember the first time I seen it was, I believe, on Comedy Central.
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:01.552
I don't know.
00:01:01.552 --> 00:01:03.026
I think that's the first time I've seen it.
00:01:03.026 --> 00:01:03.722
I could be wrong.
00:01:03.722 --> 00:01:07.371
It probably was HBO, but I can almost swear it was Comedy Central.
00:01:07.371 --> 00:01:09.742
I've seen it a few times, though it was mostly on TV.
00:01:09.742 --> 00:01:11.608
When I've seen it Okay.
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.867
So the first time I saw it was on DVD.
00:01:15.867 --> 00:01:25.400
Of course you're saying DVD, that should be it, but that movie came out in the 90s but one of my friends, he had it and I saw it.
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:37.091
And I'm not saying it was funny, but you know, sometimes, like certain comedies, you'll understand a little bit better if you experience that situation or dive into that world.
00:01:37.091 --> 00:01:43.271
So it was funny, but I had never experienced that time because I was a teenager for 20.
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.751
It was funny, but it was like something's kind of went over my head.
00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:52.790
I just found it funny because I was familiar with Dave Chappelle.
00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:55.066
I've seen him in other things before.
00:01:55.066 --> 00:01:56.189
I've seen Half-Bait.
00:01:56.189 --> 00:02:00.790
I've seen him play a tube and I think it was Men in Types Robin Hood, Men in Types.
00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:06.652
I've seen him in his little stand-ups where he's wearing the outfit where he just got off work.
00:02:06.652 --> 00:02:08.765
But I don't know.
00:02:08.765 --> 00:02:10.683
Just in fact I was familiar with him.
00:02:10.683 --> 00:02:13.110
I don't know, it's so amazing.
00:02:13.822 --> 00:02:21.104
Well, if I'm not mistaken, man, because I think this movie came out and for the leaks, I'm looking it up right now.
00:02:21.104 --> 00:02:24.668
So, just while I'm coming correct with the information, all right.
00:02:24.668 --> 00:02:36.173
So I'm going to get on my ass about Half-Bait, right, because some leaks will be like yeah, no, it came out this time, right, so 98.
00:02:36.173 --> 00:02:37.497
Yeah, which is it?
00:02:37.497 --> 00:02:37.919
All right.
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:42.591
So you know, for that, that's right before the Chappelle show.
00:02:42.591 --> 00:02:44.985
Obviously, that's when, god knows.
00:02:44.985 --> 00:02:52.192
Yeah, they took that to a whole other level, something we'll never be able to see these days because the cancer culture.
00:02:52.552 --> 00:02:54.975
Yeah, I don't think Chappelle's show will survive, no, not even.
00:02:56.021 --> 00:03:04.225
He kind of predicted some of the stuff it's coming here and for Half-Bait once.
00:03:04.225 --> 00:03:15.986
I experienced throughout the years later in my life 420 World will say that a lot of things hit me differently with that movie in good ways where I could honestly relate to it.
00:03:15.986 --> 00:03:28.991
Sometimes I was like, oh yeah, like you know, I can see why people really really fuck with this movie and I think he had a great way of exposing himself to a whole other demographic as less comedy.
00:03:29.211 --> 00:03:33.366
Yeah, I believe Half-Bait is part of what took him beyond.
00:03:33.366 --> 00:03:44.753
Oh yeah, yeah, it's just a comedy realm Because, like I mentioned, robin Hood and Men in Tights but not a lot of people are familiar with that movie yeah, but you mentioned Half-Bait.
00:03:44.794 --> 00:03:46.116
Yeah, it's like a lot.
00:03:46.135 --> 00:03:48.039
Yeah, a lot of people, a lot of people have heard of it.
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:56.745
And it's almost like that, like funny go-to, but not too serious because you're going to laugh all the time.
00:03:58.241 --> 00:03:59.627
Stolen the movie to me yeah.
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.301
I think it's where it was.
00:04:01.301 --> 00:04:10.930
Like that over, like over the top, you could tell like I think I feel like this is a great comedy, but they exaggerate the stoners so much.
00:04:10.930 --> 00:04:12.132
I don't know the behavior.
00:04:12.132 --> 00:04:15.739
We're just like look, I don't know too many stoners who do all that.
00:04:15.739 --> 00:04:20.088
Do they get that high and do some of the dumb shit that these guys are getting caught?
00:04:20.127 --> 00:04:23.742
up on Right Right, but I mean it was.
00:04:23.742 --> 00:04:36.028
It was crazy though, because, like whenever that movie came out, I remember throwing a school and then, like some of the bad kids up at school, like they was trying to guess who's what type of stoner From all through what they saw in the movie Right.
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:43.670
But I say this like the cast is what caught me, yeah, you know, to see them all.
00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:45.887
So young were you, the new dog with the scavenger.
00:04:45.908 --> 00:04:46.851
Yeah, I like how he popped up.
00:04:46.851 --> 00:04:51.369
I mean, I think it was like he was on a lift or something.
00:04:51.369 --> 00:04:53.987
He just roomed in the side of the stairs still.
00:04:54.961 --> 00:04:55.863
Because it had.
00:04:55.863 --> 00:04:56.927
What was it?
00:04:56.927 --> 00:05:00.334
Tommy Chong and Garamot Diaz.
00:05:00.456 --> 00:05:04.408
Rachel True, and as a kid I seriously thought that Tommy Chong.
00:05:04.408 --> 00:05:09.129
I thought that was George Carlin, yeah you didn't recognize him in that movie.
00:05:09.129 --> 00:05:10.528
I thought that was George Carlin.
00:05:10.528 --> 00:05:13.000
No-transcript.
00:05:13.201 --> 00:05:20.125
So watching that movie it really just like took me back cuz I was like damn like Seeing Chappelle skinny Chappelle.
00:05:20.307 --> 00:05:23.903
Yeah, skinny, everybody, they're young.
00:05:23.903 --> 00:05:25.026
They're young like.
00:05:25.026 --> 00:05:34.749
One part that threw me off in the movie is like the scene where the guy I've got it this pile or something like that in the movie Arrested throughout the whole movie.
00:05:35.572 --> 00:05:38.302
Let me, let me see real quick, yeah I don't know.
00:05:38.322 --> 00:05:41.630
He's like feeding the horse or whatever, outside of the gas station.
00:05:41.651 --> 00:05:42.954
No, no, his name is Kenny.
00:05:44.521 --> 00:05:45.444
Sorry he was.
00:05:45.444 --> 00:05:48.312
He was feeding the horse outside of the gas station or whatever.
00:05:48.312 --> 00:05:51.107
Yeah, he's like feeding the candy and all types of stuff.
00:05:51.107 --> 00:05:52.591
Yeah, like it was a diabetic.
00:05:52.591 --> 00:05:54.961
Yeah, here you go.
00:05:54.961 --> 00:05:56.425
You want to eat some more, cheryl.
00:05:56.425 --> 00:06:01.053
And they're like, this woman walks by and the woman that walks by I sit like to.
00:06:01.053 --> 00:06:03.307
I seriously like I think that's the.
00:06:03.307 --> 00:06:06.699
I thought that was the comedian yamanica sanders.
00:06:06.699 --> 00:06:09.165
Okay, okay, look a whole lot like her.
00:06:09.165 --> 00:06:11.730
To me sounded like her, but I don't think it's her.
00:06:11.730 --> 00:06:12.533
The name is different.
00:06:12.533 --> 00:06:15.156
I looked it up, forgot the name already, but it was.
00:06:15.156 --> 00:06:16.608
It was a different, it was a different name.
00:06:16.608 --> 00:06:18.019
Unless she went by a different name.
00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:23.730
It looks like yamanica sanders, but like whatever he was talking about, you want some more, Cheryl?
00:06:23.730 --> 00:06:24.632
What does she turns?
00:06:24.632 --> 00:06:29.963
And then she was like I was like oh, fuck you, or something like that.
00:06:30.245 --> 00:06:50.367
Yeah, and he was like sorry, or something like yeah, I just remembered that horse collapsed and then he's in jail, yeah, it's trying to survive, and they're like you gotta be tough, we gotta be strong, and I just thought it was funny how they lay okay, the part that got me to before that scene is when they're like okay, whose turn is it to get the munchies?
00:06:50.367 --> 00:06:57.307
And then they give him like this crazy assless and I'm thinking like I was gonna carry all that shit by himself.
00:06:57.307 --> 00:07:04.709
They get a piece 20 candy bars, they two tubs ice cream.
00:07:09.101 --> 00:07:10.125
It's popcorn.
00:07:10.125 --> 00:07:22.343
Yeah, he was giving himself pats on the back for all the stuff he was coming up with, and I just thought I was like how they emphasize the the stoner life.
00:07:22.382 --> 00:07:29.663
But you know one thing about that movie that really stood out to me and, I guess, to that time frame of Fashion right.
00:07:30.124 --> 00:07:32.891
Oh yeah, it's all like a boo boo that farm.
00:07:33.132 --> 00:07:40.740
Oh that, but also the whole hippies, because there's a scene when they go in that club and they're passing out the samples.
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:54.040
Yeah and then everybody's like it's almost like the red, because you know you think about the 90s and I remember as a bleak grown up some of you bleaks might remember or not I remember when I was in school, middle school, bell bottoms were back in right.
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:56.538
I never girls rockin, you know.
00:07:56.538 --> 00:07:58.466
I mean it's like that retro.
00:07:58.466 --> 00:08:01.899
The 60s and 70s was kind of somewhat of the fashion.
00:08:02.463 --> 00:08:04.259
Yeah, they kind of mixed all in there.
00:08:04.661 --> 00:08:09.220
And then you did see that in some scenes in that movie when they're like giving out the samples and stuff.
00:08:09.220 --> 00:08:19.192
But I will say this though hey, oh, I Really like his for Wiz Khalifa, one of his, his new album, one of his songs.
00:08:19.192 --> 00:08:21.567
I didn't realize this until I saw this movie.
00:08:21.567 --> 00:08:32.336
Again, he uses a sample from that movie and it's the the drug lord Guy, and I'm gonna actually look him up because he's the villain in that movie.
00:08:32.697 --> 00:08:37.273
Oh, yeah, the same guy who plays like the villain tells from the hood.
00:08:37.332 --> 00:08:39.298
Yeah, yeah, Clarence Williams the third man.
00:08:39.298 --> 00:08:45.150
He plays Samson simps and I thought it was funny when he was on the phone.
00:08:45.150 --> 00:08:47.440
He is like shut up, bitch.
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.470
You told Mr Jamaican get his Jamaican ass.
00:08:51.341 --> 00:08:54.332
Something like this fells character was like wait, hold on, wait.
00:08:54.332 --> 00:08:56.080
What made him think he was Jamaican?
00:08:56.681 --> 00:09:02.663
You know he's like oh, I just said you know, whatever work then, any excuse it Jamaican be.
00:09:02.663 --> 00:09:05.666
And I just thought that was interesting.
00:09:05.666 --> 00:09:09.480
Where he's like are you really a Jamaican when you bring up like the cross bro?
00:09:11.808 --> 00:09:15.466
He's like oh lord, yeah, first he started, he was trying to convince him talking about will.
00:09:15.466 --> 00:09:18.033
If I wasn't Jamaican, would I be wearing this hat?
00:09:20.221 --> 00:09:30.340
That whole movie right there, which we could go into this point, for the second part, is half-baked, considered a cult classic in 420 culture.
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.124
I Would say so.
00:09:32.124 --> 00:09:33.509
I would say so.
00:09:33.509 --> 00:09:36.399
That's why a lot of people are familiar with Dave Chappelle.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:44.110
Like, if he was to ask just random people on the street what was Dave Chappelle's first movie, they'll probably say half-baked, even though that wasn't his first movie.
00:09:44.351 --> 00:09:46.282
Yeah, I know, I agree, I feel like that was his.
00:09:46.282 --> 00:09:53.644
It's crazy because one movie I didn't even know he was in because he looked different and I thought it was funny as hell.
00:09:53.644 --> 00:09:56.389
In this part he was in the nutty professor.
00:09:56.389 --> 00:09:57.251
Yeah, he played.
00:09:57.251 --> 00:10:04.583
Yeah, everybody in the way he changed his voice, what that you know?
00:10:04.604 --> 00:10:06.788
like that top hat and everything that top hack.
00:10:06.788 --> 00:10:08.533
I took off and they get like a spider.
00:10:09.542 --> 00:10:27.672
He was like he's a Polish, he is like Yo ass, I'm a regina studied off the street, hey man.
00:10:27.672 --> 00:10:43.386
Oh Well for anybody to choose some to do in that movie, it worked the so seeing Dave Chappelle Cuz, I mean the man's controversial To the people who, you know, feel that way about some of the things he says.
00:10:43.386 --> 00:10:48.989
But there's no denying this man is like Probably greatest comedian of our generation and that is.
00:10:49.009 --> 00:10:51.115
Yeah, like he really is.
00:10:51.115 --> 00:10:52.460
I would say that I would say the same.
00:10:52.460 --> 00:10:54.067
I would say the same like he.
00:10:54.067 --> 00:10:56.740
He doesn't really hold back, he just let it all out there.
00:10:57.643 --> 00:11:02.647
And, and that's the thing too, you know one thing I respect about, like you know what we talked about too.
00:11:02.647 --> 00:11:05.886
What certain comedians have is something right.
00:11:05.886 --> 00:11:22.239
So like for Dave Chappelle, he can bring it, he can do some hood as comedy if you want it, yeah, and then do something for like to me, like corporate world, like white America, like you just reach the masses where it's going to make you laugh, no matter what.
00:11:22.239 --> 00:11:25.767
I Assume don't have that crossover.
00:11:25.767 --> 00:11:29.916
Now Dave Chappelle does, and that movie really showcased that.
00:11:29.916 --> 00:11:55.710
Because it wasn't like you know, like and this is, and I love, right, I love him's writing, but you know, for this to be the star being a black character, and this wasn't, like you know, about marijuana, but it wasn't like on a crazy hood, hood, right you know I mean because the only person who kind of played into that part with the other person he played was a guy who was like he was in the commercials.
00:11:56.254 --> 00:11:56.879
I got a season.
00:11:56.879 --> 00:11:58.383
I got with smoke a lot.
00:11:58.744 --> 00:11:59.404
Yeah, sir.
00:11:59.404 --> 00:12:00.326
So when he?
00:12:00.407 --> 00:12:01.990
fit into that stereotype.
00:12:01.990 --> 00:12:03.354
I gotta get lifted.
00:12:03.354 --> 00:12:18.399
I know in that right there just showing like, and even back then, if you think about half baked, really show how versatile Dave Chappelle was yeah you know we saw all those different skits in the Chappelle show.
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.008
Yeah, they really caught on.
00:12:22.008 --> 00:12:24.032
Like prepped you for like, oh no, I can do yeah.
00:12:24.821 --> 00:12:27.730
I'm gonna go all kinds of just different weird characters.
00:12:28.721 --> 00:12:32.345
Okay, so Third talk point question, the.
00:12:32.345 --> 00:12:36.092
Dave Chappelle showcase a lot of comedic talent in this movie for you.
00:12:37.961 --> 00:12:39.407
Yeah, yeah, I'll say he did.
00:12:39.407 --> 00:12:52.938
I'll say he did because even the parts where he wasn't even trying to be funny, it was just a look he would make on his face and in like the certain things he would say about him being like a janitor, he was like like a studio, something, something like a good story and engineer.
00:12:52.958 --> 00:13:03.390
Yeah, he was like oh, a janitor, if you want to be a dick bro, you know, you know one thing about that movie One scene that really stood out for for the guys out there, for bleaks out there.
00:13:03.390 --> 00:13:08.480
Um, I Don't have this problem with this on this part, thank God.
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:14.673
But I feel like every man has been there at one point or another where he had to date.
00:13:14.673 --> 00:13:19.105
But he was trying to like Bullshit her around because of the money.
00:13:19.105 --> 00:13:20.368
He only had dollars.
00:13:20.368 --> 00:13:21.571
And he was like.
00:13:21.571 --> 00:13:25.749
He was like, oh Damn, she's a why I'm getting kind of hungry.
00:13:25.749 --> 00:13:26.510
Let's go over here.
00:13:26.510 --> 00:13:27.695
How about a hot dog?
00:13:27.695 --> 00:13:29.340
All right, cool, sure, hot dog.
00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:30.364
Yeah, let me get this.
00:13:30.364 --> 00:13:33.672
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:13:33.672 --> 00:13:35.019
I say hey, how about a drink with that?
00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:38.109
You know, take a drink, would you like anything?
00:13:38.109 --> 00:13:43.785
No, man, and it was so fucked up.
00:13:43.785 --> 00:13:44.950
He goes to the homeless guy.
00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:50.827
He takes a change out to get something else for the ice cream stuff.
00:13:50.847 --> 00:13:52.051
I was like thank you.
00:13:52.051 --> 00:13:53.333
He was like no, thank you.
00:13:54.541 --> 00:13:58.860
But let me ask you um who is your favorite character in Smurfs?
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:00.187
Because they it was.
00:14:00.187 --> 00:14:02.000
It was something else with some of these people.
00:14:03.423 --> 00:14:07.416
And I'll let you say Dave Chappelle, but that's the obvious character.
00:14:07.416 --> 00:14:12.460
Another favorite character I would say is Brian, because Brian looked like he was hot.
00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:13.488
Oh, dude, he.
00:14:13.488 --> 00:14:20.802
He looks like he was messed, but all you had to do was put him in a marijuana commercial and if you'll be like, yeah, you know what I'm gonna mess with it, that's, that's what.
00:14:20.802 --> 00:14:23.184
No, yeah, jim Brewer.
00:14:23.426 --> 00:14:24.509
He just had that look.
00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:29.255
He looks so messed like, I felt like they didn't have to do anything like that.
00:14:29.255 --> 00:14:29.918
His hair, his eyes.
00:14:31.101 --> 00:14:34.469
It's just like yeah, I like played that role, so I know he did.
00:14:34.669 --> 00:14:43.841
Oh, I would say Dave Chappelle's characters, sir smoke a lot and just himself, and then man.
00:14:43.841 --> 00:14:54.525
I did like the villain in the movie, though he was kind of funny he was he was, I did like a, but then Nature, true, mary Jane, yeah, she was just so.
00:14:55.561 --> 00:14:59.489
She was just fine, fine she was really good.
00:15:00.162 --> 00:15:14.399
But also she was still kind of like ride or die, like don't do this, but I still love you and wait for me, and she just seemed like just a soul, like sweet, innocent, but like you know, I don't want you to do that because I love you tight, you know.
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:24.600
Oh, yeah, yeah, but she was on literature Because I'm sure she's been in some other movies, but that one really stood out to me with her because she just seems so down to earth and cool.
00:15:25.121 --> 00:15:27.831
She did, she really did um.
00:15:28.721 --> 00:15:33.048
Okay, so let's see here um.
00:15:33.048 --> 00:15:37.403
Is this movie slept on in the world of 420 classics?
00:15:37.403 --> 00:15:38.102
You think?
00:15:40.927 --> 00:15:51.586
I don't know, I don't know how to tell you today, cause like I would say it is, but then then again, I don't, I don't know, I don't think so.
00:15:51.586 --> 00:15:57.975
A lot of people know about it, they know what it is and you know they should be able to tell you what it is.
00:15:57.975 --> 00:15:59.870
So they get like oh dude.
00:15:59.870 --> 00:16:05.376
So like like now that, like I'm sure most of the population knows what half baked it.
00:16:06.086 --> 00:16:11.787
I think, I think what, like you mentioned earlier, the good thing about half baked was like before the Chappelle show.
00:16:11.787 --> 00:16:14.274
It catapulted his career.
00:16:14.274 --> 00:16:23.695
We had also introduced people to Dave Chappelle's comedy style and advanced, so it wasn't so foreign when you saw the Chappelle show.
00:16:24.489 --> 00:16:27.302
When he was like playing all these different characters and he skits.
00:16:27.302 --> 00:16:32.164
He was like watching this stand up made the Chappelle show not too foreign to me.
00:16:32.164 --> 00:16:37.717
His stand up was kind of like led to him, so what's what's going to be?
00:16:37.926 --> 00:16:45.153
I want to say this though I understand people grow over time, I feel like Chappelle now he's mastered his craft.
00:16:45.153 --> 00:16:48.046
But I understand you get a mature with it, right?
00:16:48.046 --> 00:16:49.753
Yeah, he's no longer one.
00:16:49.753 --> 00:16:50.856
He's not skinny anymore.
00:16:50.856 --> 00:16:54.544
So when he ran off to Africa and had to disappear.
00:16:54.544 --> 00:16:59.115
Yeah, got swole to eat back, you know, wearing cowboy boots and stuff.
00:16:59.804 --> 00:17:02.104
And I was like is this the same old, different style.
00:17:02.104 --> 00:17:08.778
Yeah, ever Chappelle, back in the day, he was, like you know, jeans, chuck tailors.
00:17:08.778 --> 00:17:14.373
Like you know, the button up shirt like a hat or something, yeah, dickie's jumpsuit.
00:17:14.373 --> 00:17:17.393
He was just or you look like a mechanic.
00:17:17.393 --> 00:17:26.604
He was just very, very like down earth blue collar, tight, like just keep a water with you, and I always liked his talent and his work.
00:17:26.604 --> 00:17:50.877
But Chappelle man, it's like, I feel like, because you know the Chappelle show, which is still a classic, great show to this day, I don't want to say it's like a it's not forgotten, but I feel like the only thing that kind of came close to that afterwards, or it was around the same time, was the boondocks.
00:17:50.877 --> 00:17:52.548
Oh yeah, you know what I mean.
00:17:52.548 --> 00:17:56.957
And then the only other show of that comedy style in some ways, carlos.
00:17:56.977 --> 00:17:57.458
Mencia.
00:17:58.887 --> 00:17:59.936
Yeah Well, I was going to say Atlanta.
00:18:00.965 --> 00:18:01.227
Right.
00:18:01.287 --> 00:18:02.652
Atlanta like kind of.
00:18:02.652 --> 00:18:19.011
To me Atlanta was like Friday and the boondocks mixed in together, Right, but the stuff that Chappelle would talk about was like written in that movie, because after the Chappelle show I didn't really care for this one and it's not to knock these two guys off of their success, but it just didn't work.
00:18:19.051 --> 00:18:22.586
For me was Keen Pill, Because they were oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah they.
00:18:22.586 --> 00:18:26.434
I didn't get a hip to Keen Pill till after and I was in.
00:18:26.434 --> 00:18:27.404
I'm not a fan of theirs.
00:18:27.404 --> 00:18:32.297
Yeah, like, after the series I started seeing clips I was like, okay, this is pretty funny.
00:18:32.297 --> 00:18:34.594
Oh, okay, this is okay, I think funny.
00:18:34.594 --> 00:18:39.721
Like, cause I was, I was familiar with Pill from Matt TV.
00:18:39.721 --> 00:18:40.765
Okay, that makes sense.
00:18:40.765 --> 00:18:41.527
Yeah, yeah, matt.
00:18:41.527 --> 00:18:44.635
Matt TV is where I was familiar because I used to watch Matt TV a lot.
00:18:45.346 --> 00:18:51.378
Okay, See, I feel like with that right there, and it was on, Vlad Ari Spirits spoke about it.
00:18:51.378 --> 00:18:59.176
Where Vlad asked him was like hey, you know, is there a reason why these two comedians aren't accepted in the black community?
00:18:59.176 --> 00:19:02.770
Like that, Right, and he was saying like, look, these are great guys.
00:19:02.770 --> 00:19:03.192
He goes.
00:19:03.192 --> 00:19:04.494
Is it a surprise?
00:19:04.494 --> 00:19:06.366
Not really, but he goes.
00:19:06.366 --> 00:19:11.924
They don't have that hood comedy that most blacks will probably be familiar with.
00:19:11.924 --> 00:19:15.655
Like another comedian like that to me is like JB Smooth.
00:19:16.846 --> 00:19:18.556
That's not one that you know people.
00:19:18.556 --> 00:19:23.924
Oh yeah, he was in that JB Smooth Like, nah like, and that's why he appeals to a different audience out the demographic.
00:19:23.924 --> 00:19:25.550
But I always respect his chappel.
00:19:25.570 --> 00:19:26.714
JB make that money.
00:19:28.605 --> 00:19:29.789
Do those vodka commercials?
00:19:29.809 --> 00:19:30.372
Yeah yeah.
00:19:30.372 --> 00:19:32.028
No hating on JB, yeah yeah.
00:19:32.049 --> 00:19:36.913
Yeah, no hating on Miss Amy, there's no hating on, you know, key and pill, right, right.
00:19:36.913 --> 00:19:41.798
No, no hate at all, but a chappel just really had this way of just.
00:19:41.798 --> 00:19:43.605
You know I'm going to say something funny.
00:19:43.605 --> 00:19:49.125
And so when I was in the military, you know white dudes holding his comedy off.
00:19:49.705 --> 00:19:51.390
Oh yes, the chappel show.
00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:54.978
Like you heard all quotes from that show like all the time.
00:19:54.978 --> 00:19:57.232
And then there were some memes and shit.
00:19:57.232 --> 00:20:06.134
Yeah, there's like a shirt that says F Yo couch and has a picture of Dave Chappelle as as Rick James kicking the couch.
00:20:06.275 --> 00:20:09.205
Here's my thing with that shit right there, right.
00:20:09.205 --> 00:20:20.055
One thing I loved about the chappel show too is that how he showcased Charlie Murphy's talent, because we were all familiar with Eddie.
00:20:20.055 --> 00:20:28.394
But you see, charlie Murphy, because you know, because at one point Eddie wasn't doing like real raunchy, calm, like really you know he was, he was toning it down.
00:20:28.394 --> 00:20:29.762
No more children movies.
00:20:29.762 --> 00:20:33.842
Yeah, I felt like Charlie Murphy kind of picked up the ball of them, was like I'm Charlie.
00:20:37.873 --> 00:20:47.596
But the part where, like when I asked the story, the part where they actually interviewed Rick James and they're like, did you really do that?
00:20:47.596 --> 00:20:57.494
He goes like I just didn't do shit, just to do it, and what all of us like, coming over and you know Eddie Murphy's house and put my feet up the top of your couch yeah, I remember me with my feet up.
00:20:57.494 --> 00:21:01.005
So I'm gonna buy it Because they had a drink.
00:21:01.005 --> 00:21:04.228
So why did you do it?
00:21:04.228 --> 00:21:06.288
Because I know Eddie could buy a new one.
00:21:06.288 --> 00:21:18.777
And then you know the whole Prince shit like this too was just Never gave y'all a button, prince thing was funny and Prince immediately said that that was true.
00:21:19.191 --> 00:21:24.440
He was like no, no, no, that's not true, he was like next day he fed us pancakes and grapes.
00:21:25.471 --> 00:21:28.660
And then Charlie, we're about to do a weird look on his face, like afterwards.
00:21:30.914 --> 00:21:32.417
And he was holding spatula.
00:21:32.417 --> 00:21:35.655
Would anybody like some grapes?
00:21:36.590 --> 00:21:40.801
And then, uh, rick James, he was actually mad about that, oh wow.
00:21:40.801 --> 00:21:56.069
So if you go on YouTube for the bleak stuff there, watch the Rick James Dave Chappelle interview, because it actually shows an extra 30 to 40 minutes all of those conversations where Rick James, he was very upset with Charlie Murphy.
00:21:56.069 --> 00:21:58.076
He said I didn't talk to him for like a year.
00:21:58.076 --> 00:21:59.750
Oh wow, because he goes.
00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:00.333
He goes.
00:22:00.333 --> 00:22:04.760
How in the hell you gonna get beat by a little fuff of fuff.
00:22:07.792 --> 00:22:08.955
Like he goes, are you?
00:22:09.016 --> 00:22:15.009
a six foot UB in K If you don't get beat by somethin'.
00:22:15.009 --> 00:22:17.576
Yeah, well, rick James.
00:22:17.576 --> 00:22:21.832
Well, he did that shit Because it was really true and he goes like he said.
00:22:21.832 --> 00:22:27.161
He said this is what Charlie Murphy used to say because he was like you know why?
00:22:27.161 --> 00:22:30.053
My son's a karate, so he does not get his ass.
00:22:30.053 --> 00:22:38.263
Well, like, I'm sure, the God man oh so it was Ruben, don't it?
00:22:38.284 --> 00:22:49.589
Prince actually was good, because he really wanted to go to the NBA yeah, he was really good and I just feel like that show it half big, just a world of Chappelle man.
00:22:49.589 --> 00:22:50.673
It's like it gives.
00:22:50.673 --> 00:23:02.009
Just you can never sleep on it because the man has just been so talented at what he does Always comes through, whether it's stand up or movies you know him a blue streak.
00:23:09.234 --> 00:23:12.137
Oh, so let's, let's get into this part, man, all right.
00:23:12.137 --> 00:23:19.202
So if half big was a string, how many puffs on a scale one to five before you pass?
00:23:23.954 --> 00:23:29.633
I Almost gave them five awesome I don't know skin five awesome.
00:23:29.932 --> 00:23:30.413
Okay, all right.
00:23:30.413 --> 00:23:36.920
All right, I'm gonna say I Want to do for the only reason why I love the movie.
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:37.904
It is a good movie.
00:23:37.904 --> 00:23:44.378
I just feel like, in comparison to some of the other 420 movies right now, like it's not.
00:23:44.378 --> 00:23:46.128
I still like it.
00:23:46.128 --> 00:23:49.661
It'll probably my top five, but it won't be like my first three.
00:23:50.448 --> 00:23:51.170
Right right.
00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:55.384
I think still number one for me right now is certainly that pineapple express.
00:23:55.566 --> 00:24:03.644
Yeah, I think it's because I'm familiar with Dave before he did that and I can see that I was like, oh okay, you got a movie and he's a star of it.
00:24:03.644 --> 00:24:05.134
Now it's kind of like aquafina.
00:24:05.134 --> 00:24:10.875
I knew about aquafina way Before all that after it's not, which he had a YouTube channel.
00:24:10.875 --> 00:24:11.837
I used to watch it.
00:24:11.837 --> 00:24:14.164
Like that's how familiar I was with aquafina.
00:24:14.164 --> 00:24:16.851
So then I followed her.
00:24:16.851 --> 00:24:19.155
I followed her career and some of the stuff.
00:24:19.155 --> 00:24:24.095
She did not everything, but I've seen a few things that she's done, a few movies, she's done a few series.
00:24:24.516 --> 00:24:27.647
Well, I said, is For the bleach out there.
00:24:27.647 --> 00:24:31.557
If you haven't seen half baked, definitely, definitely check this out.
00:24:31.557 --> 00:24:42.439
It's just about these guys who were stoners and then they're trying to get the front out of prison, off of the dumb shit that he did, because killing all horse cop is considered killing a cop.
00:24:42.439 --> 00:24:46.230
Yeah, so you know he's, you know you see all the antics and everything else.
00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:56.585
For one thing I will say I did like about this movie that I haven't seen in other 420 movies and it's like you and I were bumping that song from Snoop.
00:24:57.406 --> 00:25:00.497
I missed that bitch, right, yeah, and I loved it.
00:25:00.497 --> 00:25:05.714
How was Snoop said you know, the first time I hooked up with her my mom got mad at me and I couldn't stop tripping.
00:25:05.714 --> 00:25:07.500
I loved in half baked.
00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:14.914
It showed the first time he got high with his friends and how, you know, they evolved into the stoners that they are today, because it showed the frame.
00:25:14.914 --> 00:25:24.912
And I'm for sure for some of you bleaks, I'm sure you all remember y'all very, very first 420 experience and sometimes it's just one of those things.
00:25:24.912 --> 00:25:26.537
Be like you never forget your first time.
00:25:26.537 --> 00:25:29.362
But I, I did like that about them.
00:25:29.784 --> 00:25:36.971
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was interesting, like when it was in there was in that gas thing it was to place in the get well, what they call the Bodega.
00:25:36.971 --> 00:25:43.169
Yeah, I always took place in the Bodega, like it was women in that big, large yeah.
00:25:44.405 --> 00:25:47.950
I'm so thirsty On that, that movie.
00:25:47.990 --> 00:25:53.105

It showed him as a kid.
00:26:06.045 --> 00:26:10.345
He was looking at comic books, yeah, and then, like they asked if he was high he saw like the superhero.
