30:26 I run it on a roulette table. They count on that So I get that. You went back in Isn't that crazy? Put it at the top of it. Flip it to the other side. Yeah, I mean, that's the reason why they're so big. off-track betting because in new york you could gamble on like horse racing and carriage racing you could gamble on so many sports gambling. man, Or three rounds up, rather.

33:33 This is what his eyes were. But I thought I was trying to come up. And I wanted to call all my homies and be like, man, bet against us. It doesn't change how a man performs Yeah. Of what could happen. Bro, that guy's a fucking destroyer. And then him beating Costa. So good looking. But see, that's one thing. Now imagine talking shit to a guy like Tejeda.

40:50 I wish I would've fucking knew he was here. No. But then y'all actually do it in front of a live audience. I know what it is. So I love to write. You 100% could do stand-up. rap for like 20 years why would i want to stand on stage and try to tell jokes and buy me? It's fun. stand up yeah see that's the thing too cuz you material. It's like what you're doing is next to our neighbor to stand on.

43:42 No, no, no. You're not nervous doing your podcast. You're not. That's good. Okay, let's say tomorrow, if I'm just like super good with comedy, like, comedians will The idiot comedians will hate you. We one step away from that. I'm not going to participate in that because you're going to figure out if this Muay Thai works. I don't even, Joe Rogan, I don't think you know.

46:15 And you got to think, I've been trying to do this my entire 20s. So let's just say, okay, let's just say I was a rapper and then it failed. That's true if you're an actor, too. That hurts Don't you remember Gary Coleman? never go back to being i can never go back to being daniel danny you don't have to first of all Anything it wants to do Yeah, you were saying that.

49:13 early but whatever whatever but elementary school my dad taking me to school and he listening to a than you putting out a single and you know why that album is amazing? Yes, but it wasn't always like that. in my opinion rewind I wouldn't say a lot, but he knows what he means to me. And I didn't sign with them. Obviously, we were sitting around when nobody could do nothing.

52:28 All right, let me give you my rundown story. All right, whatever. It was like, you know, same thing as South by Southwest, but it's in Texas. But Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest was real close with A-Track, things. He broke it down to him like, Like it's super ill. And I'd be like, oh, I'm signing to Foosgoat. Super broke. We get that. album of the year

55:56 back against the wall Rap music is all about being young You know It did good. but that charted okay a record label the best, Cannibal Wags, as me as a rapper, as an artist or a musician, so do you think that by trying to make something that stands next to that somehow or another you'll See? Can we play some of it? Why? Because this is my Joe Rogan interview.

59:16 We'll play that. bro you don't get it i don't get it help me out my music is like stand-up comedy in essence oh Think about this. line could create four bars so every line i get four bars so i need four lines to give me a 16 16.

There's a To me all right, and I can say that for my I don't know of any people Have you ever seen And I don't Yes So, now I had these record labels, all of them courting me. so I went crazy the best pop album that's great no that's the I talk about that all the time. Oh. When you ever seen the rap video look like this How did they get Gus Van Zant though?

1:09:45 I've been destroyed. That's really good. But no, that's the thing. Trust me. because i'm super on it but no the thing is about is that um, I I'm going to talk about it. That album you listened to was Triple X. It's so good. no discussion i don't know you haven't gotten any response have you had a conversation about And it's, bro, it's nothing. Exactly.

1:18:58 It's what you say I don't want to make no moves without them. What do you mean a fake podcast network? Why do I need to be with any of that? investment like there was a lot of shady people that got involved in podcasting I would do it for free, too. and like kind of shitty manager types the manager type will try to take a percentage of the podcast I wouldn't be talking to you right now.

1:21:46 And their situation, like having that studio, it's all so professional. All of them. For disparaging your shorts. You should learn some Jiu Jitsu How come? it'd be months she be by herself So this maybe a year So now I'm living in a house with this bitch that I'm putting in jujitsu class that look at me every day like, I could beat this nigga up. far to jujitsu she was teaching a kids class really well she's busy got a

1:24:14 damn, So, yeah. Yeah. She's like, And at the time, like, you know what's happening with L.A. too, I got in LA Zalupris, my group, you shouldn't be out there. It's a lot different. see her and the other bitch getting their kids into college. That's when the driver allegedly shot at Pfeiffer's and Richard's vehicle, That's what I saw. It could be a scam.

1:28:25 I'm not I see what's going on For now. But this shit is a lot of money involved. Oh. tony he lives here yeah duncan lives here dun Duncan lives here now. You should do his podcast. No, he need to do my podcast. If you put me in the hair. No, see, see, this is the difference. like i don't want to disappoint y'all you're not gonna disappoint us no one gives a shit it'd be

1:30:53 I think it'll be surprisingly fun for you No, you know what's fucked up? He's my friend. plumbers and then you remember back in our day Why is a plumber kicking in doors to castles? You got to think. she wanted to go with Mario. You can't beat no game at the end of the day Mario Brothers What's the big one? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not fun to me

1:34:39 Some teenage kids Yeah. Oh. It's so good. That's cool. And you only playing the game as you're a character in this anime. Yeah. Oh. So Joker. where you, No, no, no. Yeah. oh shit I'm just It's just actual i can i've done all the beers bro it's only one time the v VR? You played that? No. Oh, you, like, do shit? I thought I was Batman. For three days, I played, bro, for three days.

1:37:51 But day number two I love about video games probably just a natural progression of what consciousness does when it can control technology That's what I was talking about with Hannibal. then you playing it like everyday like you get what I'm saying like real shit like that so they're so good right now and they're The mic the right time when I see said what I had to say when you click

1:41:06 Really? Like people do this? It'd be like some dirt under the table, but there's a simulation of driving a truck down an empty highway Oh, what's wrong with people that know? The guy gets in the truck. Look at this. It's about dropping shit off. But no, I'm being... But what is the original one? but flight simulator if I would think like he's I used to play this game called Quake.

1:43:52 No? Oh, so this is like some fantasy type shit. Let's get back in real life. People make money off all kinds of things. See, that's the thing. Do you like it? is that like a role playing game? Like damn, Those World of Warcraft That's not like it is it? that Duncan got sucked into. shit and you're in the forest Is it Animal Crossing? Duncan playing it.

1:46:46 Where are you? But it was just, he was so sad he was so addicted he and he was like i'm so good at making money in the game and so bad So, see, the thing is for me in video games, a lot of people look at me like I'm a super gamer, that I think I play and be like, it's an independent game, you know, Modern Warfare, Call of Duty type thing, inspires people to shoot people. I don't... You know, if you think like Modern Warfare,

1:48:20 How many people that are in a cult What would you base your cult on? Who going to get the dick? Maybe you should start your own game. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can rhyme words that sound cool and it's just like oh But you don't have to do it. But who knows? My bad. To get good at it, you got to really put in time. And I'm like, ah.

1:52:43 Let's just say, I'm a a rapper i haven't had the most But I'm just tinkering with what I thought was bad Right. You know? but we need the money from the record companies So let's put it like this. You feel me? Motherfucker can die and they're going to Google what was the best reviewed albums in 2022. I don't know. A little bit. But then I thought about it in another world.

1:56:29 You know what I'm saying? There you go. I wanted to be a rapper Because I remember one time, like, the teacher asked me, like, Like I knew me to myself like reading the poems and shit. applauding for me and shit. Like, I would go to school, like, being in, like, middle school, like, sixth grade or whatever, fuck. One time some rapping came up, I'd bust a rap,

1:59:09 Kevin Willis But his brother rapped. Set up, set up, punchline. Before you've done it, you get scared of it. Then you do it and you realize, oh, maybe I can get better at this. Then you can do it. It's like everything else, Danny Brown. Before you've done it, you get scared of it. You know what I'm saying? just lucky as me and it's to me to fucking take care of the blessings and really appreciate them and go hard.

2:01:01 You might got five years max. like you super watched my whole progression of this shit to get to here. oh, In anything. Yeah. And that will turn into something else. because look you time like people that i really respect with this comedy shit and i know you can Your writing thing is not much different than any other kind of writing. Do you know how easy it is to write a rap?

2:03:59 Let's say if I had that line. niggah, niggah, niggah, niggah, niggah, So it's, 16 bars of verse. I'm gonna figure it out. About it Doubled eggs If we were talking about Ab abortions and this and that. you take me, all my skin, Egg is just a piece of protein. It's never impregnated I hate you, man. I get what you're going for. Well, you need someone to consult with.

2:07:48 well Danny Brown we're gonna work on some stuff I don't know, man. And get good at this shit and then blow and then be fired. Whoever's gatekeeping comedy, they're not. professionally danny brown i would love for i would love to be able to make music without any You know? Ain't that everybody else My pleasure Or whatever the fuck is that having nothing to sell.
