In 2015, teenager Joy Morgan discovered strangely compelling YouTube sermons from the religious group Israel United in Christ, or IUIC. Her initial curiosity developed into devotion. She distanced herself from friends and family, embraced new identity, immersed herself in the IUIC, and believed she'd found the truth.

31:50IUIC is the best family that I've ever had. In fact, she had found what many called a cult. And on Boxing Day 2018, Joy disappeared forever. In the new six-part investigative podcast, The Missing Sister, Charlie Brinkhurst Cuff and Free Turn explore Joy's story, the family she left, and the religious group she found. You know when you get that freedom, like, you just, I don't want to be here. I want to get out. Like, I want to go here now.

32:32Comedy, are you like funny all the time? Two things, a double question Just for all comedians It always feels like your life is dark in real life Right? These guys commit suicide They go through a lot of shit it just seems like the therapy is comedy. Right? And so with my history, and I like to laugh, so my history of studying comedians is like it comes from a dark place and the humor and is everybody like, are you working on us now? Because I feel like all the comedians, they practice their shit on me all the time. Everybody different, right? I know, like, y 'all know Mike Epps, right? Of course.

33:21Mike is always funny. Like, he always home. It's just what it is. And you got comics who's like that. And then, like, if you're around, like, a Chris Rock, who's super chill. You know what I'm saying? That's a great distinction right there. He always super chill. He's super chill. So I'm a lot, like, I don't do, I don't have to do my stand-up from a dark place, which is, you know, a little legend. You think about Richard Pryor, like, the things he went through is kind of what shaped him as a comic and humor. I tell you. But at the same time, like, I know, it's a balance of both. Like, I've used comedy, like, for instance, like, my dad passed in January.

33:58So I've been working on the next special just dedicated to him. So I went to Chicago maybe a couple months ago and headlined a club for the weekend and literally talked about putting my dad's funeral together, like, everything. And it was. So it's therapy at the same time, but you can find humor in the truth because the thing about it is at the end of the day, comedy always shows the fuck up. Like, I don't care what's going... Like, even when I was planning his funeral and I'm at the funeral home and something funny happened, I'm like, what the fuck, comedy? Even though my saddest shit, it just shows the fuck up.

34:31Well, you gotta have comedy. Even when you used to see the greatest mafia films where the motherfucker was like, do I look funny? What's funny like to you? This, this, this? Like, humor... I did this movie with Mac 10 out in L.A. was caught thicker than water back in the days. And he had this guy. And this guy had to be the funniest dude. He's one of the gangs, because you know there's the gang. And he was the funniest dude. And one day somebody tried him. He said, are you trying me? This was the funniest night. This guy said, you ain't never gang banging your life, nigga. Who you trying? He wound up pounding the dude out.

35:13Pause. Beating him up. middle of the street. And I was like, damn, this the funny guy. They took him for, they thought because he was funny, they took him for granted. That's also true too, Craig. Just because somebody do comedy, you still don't know where they're from. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That don't mean they won't put hands and feet on you. Oh, he put super hands and feet on them. He said, oh, wait a minute. You think because I tell jokes, that was it. I'm telling you, I never forgot it in my life. He said, oh, you think because I tell jokes and I be laughing. He said, you ain't never gangbanging your life.

35:51Shit out of him. And did he stop? Did he just start joking around again, acting like he didn't do it? He was always just a funny dude, and everybody always needs a funny dude. Like, I don't know what every crew needs to do. Like, Big Pump was our, like, that's what I'm about to say. MCs, y 'all. like between the punchlines y 'all do and all that stuff, y 'all, like most of my friends has been rappers over the time. Like, they're some of the funniest people I know. Yeah. Like, for real. Because the best rappers use humor, like Biggie, black and ugly as ever. However, Coochie Down, you know, pun was witty.

36:28You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, the eye tub popping, but he's funny too. The best rappers are funny. They got some type of humor to it. He said, New York love me like when Mitch hit a free throw. Who the fuck thinking about that? Niggas don't. Mitch can't hit a free throw, but that's humorous. The greatest lyricists have always used Snoo Dogg. I have re-fell in love with the Chronic album. I keep saying this to everybody here. He just, ooh, easy. Oh, you don't know. I'm like, yo, this guy, how can I hear this three years, 30 years later and find it funny? They was like, all right, guess the game.

37:13He was like, this shit, yeah, yeah, 20 seconds. Thanks to fuck bitches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I started laughing like it's brand new. Like I heard it for the first time. I might have heard it a million times. That's funny. You is funny. This Dave Chappelle show, right? I could never, let me ask you that question, right? Because it happens to me, right? So if I make music, so I create music, and in order to make music, make hits, you got to like it. Yeah. Right? So I'm playing like a record I made that I think is so dope, and I play this shit 20, 30 times a day. And at a point, it gets to the point where I can't even enjoy it no more.

37:59Because I heard it so much, and now I'm hearing it like I don't hear it the same way. Does that happen to you? it'll happen to anybody if you keep playing something two two two two two two that happens in like like when you like I mean not like that but like the my movie is the one I just directed like you I looked at it so many times to the point I'm not sure about certain things anymore you can't be in the moment no more right that's when you start sending it to people right you're like hey I need you to look at this cause I don't I'm too married to it now cause I never the point I'm trying to make is I never could enjoy the Dave Chappelle show because I was too busy thinking who the fuck wrote this shit.

38:44Like, it was so funny to me that I'd be like, this guy had to be on dope. Like, how did he think of this shit? Like, who's on the drugs? Like, this shit, the shit he was doing had me just bugging out like, yo, the fuck? Somebody's crazy to think about this shit. I mean, that's what I loved about the Charlie Murphy stories, man. Like, Charlie was just so, like, he was so real about it and you knew he was serious but he was like we were talking about the gangster guy like he was hysterical though that's who I think Charlie represented too more than anything like he represented those cats that was just funny that you knew like them tough niggas that was just the funniest dude you knew and that's who Charlie Murphy really was you know what I'm saying he wasn't a quote unquote professional comedian but he was a funny motherfucker from your crew yeah that uh man let me tell you something that shit fact without trying though like it was just like you know cause when you hear stories like man just being around Charlie like I have like it was certain stories he would just tell about just hanging out with Eddie it is like we didn't even get all the stories like if you ever hung out with him you like dude I remember one time he told me he told me he got high as fuck and went to the Bronx and started kicking niggas in the chest I'm like why the fuck was you doing that he's like man I was walking to him like bam BAM!

40:03The hours, nigga. I'm like, okay. And I don't even know why he was telling me this shit. Nah, he just said shit. His story, Charlie Murphy, was crazy. And I know a guy, I can't say the name. I can't do the who. No, no. I know a champion boxer who told me that he wears hoodies and a mask on, and he'll go to a local gas station for no reason and knock the nigga out that's pumping the gas. He said, yo, I love this shit, yo. I just pull up in the gas station with the pool, shiesty, hoodie on, nigga pumping gas. I just knock him out. Swear to my mother. Legendary boxer. Told me this shit. I don't know why they tell me stuff like this.

40:51I didn't ask him for it. How old is he now? This nigga hit you. It's like a truck hit you. You just abbreviate. You trying to figure this shit out. That motherfucker still knocked you out. It's crazy because he told me that. He said, yo, Joe, I just pull up in the gas station, hoodie mask some nights, and I just knock a nigga out. And this shit don't make the news or nothing. No. No, he never got caught, obviously. But it should be like a news story. Like, yo, it's a serial. Knock a nigga out, guy. At the gas station, be careful. We probably get it. Las Vegas, we on the lookout for a serial knocker nigga out guy.

41:31That shit crazy. Huh? Yo, I'm telling you. Man, so I ain't gonna wear this shit. How do you like being behind the camera? I love directing. Like, this is my thing now. You know what I'm saying? Like, I took advice from Ava DuVernay and Sean Levy, who I did Free Guy with and does Stranger Things. But Ava was like, yo, real, like, it's an opening in a way for comedy directors. Like, Most people are direct, they're direct comedies, but nobody's like saying like, I'm going to be a comedy director. And she like, it's actually an open lane for that. And I'm like, you know something, you're right. So that's where I'm at with it.

42:07I want to like keep direct, because comedy fit in so many categories. You got comedy horror, rom-coms, comedy action. It's just, you could throw comedy with so many different things. I want to like have my hand on all that shit. And then I got a chance to collab with, hello, he's a little too here? He left? No, he got a trip. we call that a trim fire break. Sky Rizzy, you went to go take a piss. Carlos, Carlos is one of my, like he's in a movie. So like put him, Carlos Billy, I had him up there. And man, he kills this movie. But I was happy. These guys don't miss. He's him and his crew. But that's why I was wondering why nobody put them in like a position to be on a big screen.

42:44They got this crazy following. They're fucking hysterical. They're super talented. And so that's why. Well, I don't know about a comedy. It always takes a real one. It always takes somebody like yourself and throw that out. I don't know if it's comedy, but I just feel like Hollywood got a whole bunch of gatekeeping. And it's like... I think that's overthought. You think what? I think the gatekeeping is... Because first of all, I think people over... When they talk about Hollywood, right? We almost talk about it like it's the Wizard of Oz. Where all of us are part of it anyway. All this shit is Hollywood.

43:17Whether you do an independent film or with a major studio, I just think you gotta be okay with not being a pick me all the time and just create this shit on your own. And so like getting, finding a way to get finessed and shit like that. But that's what made me do a movie with my friends. My thing is, I love outlets like the Remy Network, Tubi, all that. Because you got guys, you got talent, men and women that have talent and they wind up shooting it themselves and you don't need a kabillion dollars and this shit pop off. You know, everything in my life historically, has never been given to me.

43:55It's always been, you got to create it for yourself. Yeah. Everything. Like everything I've ever got, nobody ever gave it to me. It wasn't like I had a big homie. It wasn't like, it's always like, all right, you did it on your own. Congratulations, Joe. Successful. What else you're going to think of? Yeah. Because ain't nobody giving you shit. And so that's why I was telling Rich earlier, I said, you're rich. I got an idea about a series. And I said, I might as well fund this shit. Shoot it hood-wise or whatever. We already know it's going to be ill if we write this shit. You know what I mean?

44:31And then put it on Tubi or Remy Network or some shit like that. Well, anything, right? Even if you do Tubi, like learning just the licensing of things, right? You shoot it on your own. You can license that stuff forever to a bunch of different places. You can get Tubi a couple years and maybe Netflix. Like, it's just, it's like if you learn the business of show business, you'll stop waiting on somebody to give you some shit. I agree. You say no, but I say yes. You waiting for somebody to come put you in some shit, it's not going to happen. And the way it does happen is like, say, Drewski. I happen to know because we got the same barber.

45:07He stole my barber. What the heck? That motherfucker can't give me a cut no time soon. He after movie after movie, Drewski? Oh, no, he the new Kevin Hart. Like, he's just, he's disrespecting the bags. Like, he just got movie after movie after movie after. Next year, we're going to see him everywhere. He's going to be on every movie everywhere. He's just caking up legend. But I think once you get on that run that it's like you on fire, then, you know, everybody, oh, I got an idea. A little realm. Well, this thing about it, it's about consistency, though, right? And that's, I'm actually fascinating to see, like, what the, a lot of the internet guys, what their loan game is.

45:52You know what I'm saying? Because it's hard to stay consistent. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's the game of the game. It's consistency. I think Drewski, out of almost everybody, and King Batu's also. Yeah, because you can't, you can't knock him in the. No, I think they have an opportunity to do something very unique. Because Drewski, like, I think we was somebody outside. out there was somebody out of Living Color and he was able to do like a one man and Living Color what he's doing, right? It's kind of crazy. You know what I'm saying? Come on now. That's fact. No, for real. You want to got the organic coffee, man.

46:23That's why I tell you Dunkin' Donuts, man. Or Kiss Cafe. Kiss Cafe, baby. Give me some Kiss Cafe with some Splendor in there. Cold, bro. God, dang it. It's funny. I was like, yeah, because, you know, I was saying something deep. You was like, you had your French hat on with the little shit on top. What the fuck is this coffee, yo? With the green beret? You had your French shit on. You was like, oh. If you didn't, then I did that. I was like, because the industry needs to be like, what the fuck is this, yo? This shit is crazy. Yo, I hear you real, but what the fuck? No, no, it's nasty. Dunkin' Donuts.

46:58No, that shit was poison, bro. What was that? He just gave him some shit, some bullshit. Do you like iced coffee? Zewski really did a one-man living coffee. I think he's doing it. I think what he's doing is, and I'm proud of him because, you know, he's actually somebody that has respect too for the game. You know what I'm saying? He shows everybody love. He's not like, you know, I like the fact he's taking these pressure moments and he's showing up. And we'll see, like I said, like he ain't never going to blow up till he put the dick in his ear like the weighing guy. Jesus Christ. What the fuck?

47:32What's that shit? White girls or something? What was that shit? What they was? Scary movie? What's the shit? One of them shits, he had a dick in his ear in the bathroom through the hole. You know, I've been trying to get... You can't pay me for that. You can't. Too bad to put a dick. A dick in your ear in the bathroom. What's the shit? Glory hole, they call that shit or some shit. That nigga did it. The wands. It's not... I mean, look it up. Like, how much did they pay this man to do that? To even assume the position? I think he... I think they wrote it. Yeah, yeah. he wrote it he wrote it and said I want a dick in my ear in the yo you got it like what kind of drugs yo we talking about some of the edgiest stuff ever written this from them oh man them guys are fucking serious if it's the joke they gonna go through it was the first pro LGBT remember they had the character on Living Color Yeah, it's raining, man.

48:37It's raining, man. Hallelujah. What was the educated guy? Oh, he's the deep dude in jail. Oh, yeah, yeah. The 50-year-old man. I'm the hemoglobin. These guys. He's like the comedian. He was saying all types of crazy things. All types of shit. You know, we know smart dudes like, yo, let me tell you something. This guy was smart. Let me tell you. I had a guy in my hood. And I hope he don't kill me because he was really a gangster. Nah. Nah, I can't. he's really a gangster, really a killer. And if he sees this, he's probably going to be mad at me. But I remember back in the day, this shit was the 90s.

49:14He was showing me videos of guys saying there was going to be no more cash. There was going to be credit cards. The whole time, like, yo, what the fuck is wrong with this thing? Because he was saying no more cash. They're going to get credit card, Illuminati shit. I'm talking about the 90s. And all that shit start coming true. Now I'm like, yo, this motherfucker knew some shit 20 years ago. Like, that shit, you go to the barbershop, they play that shit. Yo, if you ever look at the dollar, you see the pyramid, the disc, but a lot of that shit they was talking about really fucking, it was going to be phones where you could talk to a guy with their face and this 20 years ago.

49:56I mean, that's a Star Trek episode. Like, if you watch Star Trek, they was FaceTiming first and all types of shit. I feel like all this shit existed way before they just gave it to us. Even with this AI shit. I feel like AI existed way longer than we think. I met AI niggas. You ever met them? I met AI. I'm in Dubai. You know, we use these concierge and they do like this. Shoulders moving. you don't smile, no emotion. I'm telling Rich and I'm like, yo, this guy, AI, this guy's a real robot, a real person. I promise you, I believe, I'm at, yo, get Rich Play over here. They using them in Dubai. They using them.

50:49These guys, when you look at them, they're not walking like human beings and all that. And they're not smiling. They're not nothing. I'm telling you, they got AI, concierge in Dubai. now when y 'all go out there look at the concierge you're gonna be like yo Fat Joe might not be fucking lying I'm gonna tell you something I bought my kids when they were maybe like 5, 6, 7 years ago remember those little robots pet things I promise you I turned that motherfucker off I know I switched it off because I was already kind of weird about this because I don't fucking trust robots. I wake up, this motherfucker was red eyes, just doing shit.

51:33I threw that bitch out my house. Rich player, never comes on the show. Rich, you can be the voice. Why Rich making that face? When we go to Dubai, the concierge guys at Dubai. Yeah. Straight AI. Robots? I'm telling them. No, like this, look. Helping you, grabbing your bags. Nah, this ain't... Why you ain't filming? they're filming them all day but they look like human beings with the way they moving and they move their head and all that you know Dubai's always ahead of time with everything I'm telling you they're working the guinea pigs right now in Dubai of the real guys walking through grabbing your bags they don't smile they don't do nothing they got no emotion we was killing them I don't know how to snapping on them calling them all type of shit he like he like yo look this Yo, this shit, you be killing them.

52:29Anybody would have either got mad or laughed. Did that scare you, though? Because everybody, you seeing this shit, that shit was frightening. That shit was scary as fuck. It's scary as fuck. I'm telling you, I had a guy that his shoulders go like the movies. What the fuck did you do? He looked like this, but he's human. He looks human, but he don't smile. We was destroying him. You even got to get angry or you got to smile. This guy was like... Should've smacked him. He probably fucked you up, this guy. He's AI. That's Robo. That scares me, though. I'm a scabber. No, it scared the shit out of me.

You was like, Timothee Chalamet, he ain't calling me no more. Oh, no, he ain't calling me since. I'm realistic. No more. You know, Timothee hanging out with me every day, bro. Yeah, let's go. That motherfucker ain't calling me since, man. He call you next season. Next season. I'll see him next season. We season new friends. Yo, you know who did me like that? Who? It's Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin? Blake Griffin.

58:48He didn't look like everybody wanted to hang out with Blake. He wanted to hang out with Blake. Did he go to Chicago? He came to like the comedy festival in Montreal, the Just For Last Festival. All the comedians go, and he did stand-up. So he was all our friend for like the week. We was hanging out. I thought we was going to be friends. Man, we just felt. Y 'all embraced him? We embraced him. We had five in winter. and we partied together. And then when we got back to regular life, I saw him at the Soul House. I was like, what's up, Blake? He was like, hey. And then walked away. I'm like, damn.

59:14Oh, man. I was hurt by that. I was like, man, we was buddies. I was bragging about that, buddy. Hip-hop is the king of that. Especially your up-and-coming rapper is the king of that. You mean, yo, you know how many people be like, yo, I met DMX, like artists I had back in the day. Met DMX. He says when he do a whole album with me, this and this. I see your brother. DMX ain't never. What do you mean, yo, I met Pharrell? Pharrell said, Pharrell ain't never calling you back. When I met R. Kelly for the first time and the man said, yo, Fat Joe, I want to do a song with you. I gently put my hand on his shoulder because I was still 90 % hood, 10 % rapper.

59:58I said, yo, don't lie to me because I can't even believe you even know who I am. fuck out of here. I grew up with the Puerto Ricans. I love Fat Joe this. And we did the song. It was like, you know, he wasn't full of shit. Like, it was like, you find more full of shit people in this business than you find actually people with, it's just actually hard to believe their word. Like, now when you see somebody do that, society's so fucked up, that now when somebody give you their word or they a real one, it's like shocking that someone kept their word. You're like, oh, wow. This guy's a man of his word.

1:00:38It's not supposed to be like that with morals and principles. What I think about, it's like, it's also interesting when you like, and I think that's why the play Griffith hurts so much because I was like, man, because we saw a basketball player do what we do, right? We like, he came into our world. Like, we can't, I can't go, like, he could just jump in a school. It's cool that you go to Clippers and get a 10. Yeah, but it's cool that you even You're a good person, brother, because most of these comedians, to me, I feel like when somebody outside of a comedian tries to, they better be the funniest.

1:01:15They did not believe in it. You know how many comedian friends I got this big time that was like, y 'all, I just want to be a comedian. Not everybody don't embrace it. This is the scary part. When we all saw Blake on stage, he was so fucking funny. That's what really made us uncomfortable. And I remember laughing. Man, he was fucking hysterical. Wow. I don't even say that shit all the time. Maybe that's his calling. The motherfucker was, the shit he was doing and talking about the NBA, like it was like, it was like, yo, this, it's actually irritating. I remember I was laughing like, ha, ha. You can jump out the gym and tell jokes, motherfucker.

1:01:58His brother was cold too. Yeah. But I mean, Blake is funny on stage, though, Carlos. I'm not even lying. It was actually surprising. You could. But I'm just like very one-dimensional. No, he could. Why he can't pick me up, bro? Why he can't pick me up? I fucking hate it. I beat it. Why he can't pick me up? Man, look at Joe right, man. You see? I can get him right. I believe that. I believe. You believe that? Yeah, he can help you and get it with his expertise. You can get right. What you got a little bit of and what he got a lot of, he can help you. You don't get it, man. He got plenty of shit to talk about.

1:02:44You a storyteller. You just got to shorten it up. It's just you got to shorten it. It's about 80 niggas. No, keep the hell. No, Stephen A. Smith. Stephen A. Smith came in. I want to kick it with Joe one time. I just need to kick it with Fat Joe for like one weekend so we can have the premise, the setup every time is it's me and a hundred niggas.

1:09:46You ain't like Benjamin? We didn't like the beat. You could even rap to the Benjamin beat, but it don't matter. And then it was like the shit started changing after the Benjamin. On the Benjamin, you started wearing like white suits and shit. Kiss. Let me ask you this, though. Remember I brought the rooftop joint, right? That was at one of the award shows, right? That was an MTV, one of the MTV awards. That didn't feel like that? Because that was like your own album, too. And it was, I remember that moment was like, yo, this nigga's the best nigga in the world right now. That felt good because it was my solo.

1:10:23But, you know, being with Puff and writing for him and seeing all of the accolades and shit he was getting, it felt good to do you know get my own flowers cause I was getting they kicked me out of the garden for the other shit but this is the thing about it it's funny cause both of y 'all got hits that like that became the club play over again hits everybody don't get that like where they keep starting that motherfucking anthems we call them anthems everybody don't have them though I'm gonna tell you what it was for me and I was already big Pun was already double platinum. We already did a lot.

1:11:08I remember one year I was cold and I was in my mother and father's house, New Year's Eve. And for us, before rap, before anything, I don't know if it was a Puerto Rican thing or we celebrated. To this day, my birthday and New Year's Eve, guarantee Fat Joe is shit-faced drunk. Those are the two days I dedicate this whole year to like, it's New Year's Eve. I'm drunk. There's nothing you could do. My birthday, I'm walking out the room with a fucking 1800, like, nine in the morning. Yeah, I don't give a fuck. Those are the two days I'ma say. Do you, like, go to bed with it? No, no, no. When I wake up.

1:11:49How about for a nigga that don't drink? I got bars all over my crib, B. I got bars on every floor, nigga. I'm not lying to you. It's too much. So I go like this. But the point is, One New Year's Eve, I'm with my mother and father, and it's quiet. It's just quiet. I'm there with them, and we in the house in Miami. And I'm watching the rocking New Year's Eve, and I said to myself, I said, I'm going to be on that bitch next year. Fuck that. I'm going to New Year's Eve next year. I was in New Year's Eve performing New York, Lean Back. The next year, I was on a test. So it must have been 2003. I'm with my mother and them because 2004 is when Lean Back and New York and all that shit came out New Year's Eve I'll never forget I had the fucking velour suit on and that was fucking Times Square and I was like yeah I said I was gonna do this shit last year and I did that moment there it was like just think about it how many kids you know we watch all these shows when I was a kid in elementary I would watch Michael Jackson Moonwalk I watch fucking Boy George come up, come up, come up, win the every fucking award.

1:13:05Madonna they coming with little Michael Jackson coming with homeboys sitting him on his lap. What's my man? Emmanuel Lewis. So I'm looking at all this shit and I'm like yo, and you come the next day after that award show, there is no social studies currently. We're just talking about the award show. Like, that's... So, to actually get successful enough to where we perform and we actually won these awards, that was another moment for me where I went to jail, lost all my money. Remy went to jail for eight years, lost all her money. Hold up, you lost all your money? They took all my money. I never thought you lost the paper.

1:13:48Oh, no, I lost all my paper. I ain't never seen you fucked up. Oh, no, no, I ain't never gonna be... That told me the haircut, dirty shoes, or nothing. You ran this shit back up. You know how these people say, You see how these people say, yo, I was homeless. I robbed the bank. I sell big drugs. I'm never going to be broke. So they took all my money. I still had Cuban links on and ice and brand new. I'm not the one. When it comes to that, you ain't never seeing me like that. So I'm going to get to the back. I never even heard that. It's true. They took all my money, millions and millions of dollars.

1:14:22The point is, we make all the way up, and me and Remy is backstage, and Samuel L. Jackson is in the audience, and everybody. We made it back, and we just held each other's hands, like, real tight. And they said, all right, performing Fat Joe and Remy all the way up. You see that show there? That was the most energy I had in my life. I came out there with, I had some shit on. I must have had, like, some mermaids, a boat. I was like, come all the way up. nothing can stop me that was a moment for me too that was like a real like wow we're back we're getting to the bag you know we're back where we need to be you know what I'm saying that was a big moment for me big huge let me ask you because you're asking them this because we all I think everybody has this very specific moments you just don't forget you know what I'm saying where you're like oh shit I'm here what was yours shit Let me see.

1:15:22Hitting that Benz dealership for the first time. Because y 'all know it's different when they know you got it. When you just like working and you can afford this shit, you got to call the bank. You might have to go get it. You might have to run to the house and get another idea or something. But when they know you good for it, they'll throw you that bitch and be like, ah, come back tomorrow and fill out the paperwork. That was when. when they start trying to give me shit. When they stop asking, how you going to pay for it? You want to put this in the company name? Shit like that. I was like, yeah!

1:16:01Turn that bitch up. And then I took it to give some shit and looked at it. You know how you do your maintenance and shit. And then the lady brought the other shit around that I was looking at and she put a bow on it. How about when they bring shit that you know yourself, you can't afford it. They start bringing you shit. You're like, I don't think so right now. I'm like, I don't want the hydro plane. It only works on water.

1:16:28How's the Ben's truck? I really got my eye on this one. They start bringing out shit you can't even afford still. But you're like, nah, I'm good. They start bringing out electric Rolls Royces. This is the spectrum. You're not talking about shit. I jumped in that bitch and I was like, I had to hit him with the motherfucker paid in full. White niggas ain't even got this shit. Let me tell you something. I went, I went, one of the illest hustlers, get money dudes in the planet Earth in Harlem was my man, Von Zip, rest in peace. One day he picked me up and said, yo, come with me. I'm going to Benz's and his true story.

1:17:09And the man buy new Benz and pay with old money. Like the shit smell like the cemetery. The old little faces. He paid maybe$100 ,000 with like letting me know he pulled that shit out the wall. Like I'm like there, he's like yo Joe, old money bitch. This shit ain't, hey. I'm like looking at him, I said yo this the hell. For no reason he wanted to prove to me that he bought the car$100 ,000 or whatever with fucking the old shit look orange, buddy. He had this shit so long. Like yo, this nigga stunted on me. Crazy. What was your moment. Damn. Well, it's funny because you, it's like you got those moments, but then you have moments where you're like, all right, this is a big deal.

1:17:56It happened twice. It happened when Get Out came out. When I went into the, when I showed up, nobody knew who I was on the carpet. Nobody did no interviews with me and no shit like that. Wow. And we watched a movie and when it ended, me and my team came out and I was just like, oh, wow, I'm on a big screen. I was just happy to see myself on there. and you know they had a lower level with the people who are not the cast just coming to the premiere when I tell you those people bum rushed me and security had to walk me to my car and I remember going in the car talking to my team like what the fuck is gonna happen you know what I mean like it was just you just felt like it felt like it was a life changing it was just so cool right on the spot it was crazy and then the second time was I did one of my specials at the Chicago theater So that whole day was that.

1:18:45Like me looking at my name in lights, a little real live concert comedy film. It's like, oh shit. And then when I shot it, it was a great set. I had Crucial Conflict open up for me. I didn't even have no comic open. It was fucking crazy. But it was a moment where I was done and everybody was standing up. And my mom passed at 09, but for a brief second, I saw her sitting there. She was there. Just her spirit. Oh, her spirit. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. And so that was that moment where like... Well, you know that happens. Yeah. You know, just yesterday, my wife said, my mom's came in her dream and said, yo, why you don't even want flowers?

1:19:25I need flowers. My mother ain't here no more. She said she sent over the flowers to her. You know, we still got the house. I said, but nobody's there. And she's like, nah, nah. I sent over the flowers. She went flowers. You know, they send you the message. They pop up. They'll let you know what they think Check this out. This ain't that. That ain't this. It's Crack and Kiss. Make some noise for Rel and Los. Horned Heist, baby. Yes, sir. Yeah.

1:20:02Foodies, unite. This is Angie Martinez from IRL Podcast. Here to tell you about something new and delicious from McDonald's. So they just released an all-new Caesar sauce that is a creamy blend of rich Parmesan, zesty lemon, and bold garlic flavors. The sauce on a chicken Caesar snack wrap, ooh, or the McCrispy Strips, delicious. Which, by the way, the crispy strips are even crispier now. And that combination is perfect for McDonald's. And for a drink, I'll probably have a nice cold Sprite to go along with that perfectly, and I will be a happy girl. Don't take my word for it. Try it out for yourself.

1:20:39for a limited time while supplies last at participating McDonald's. I'm Maria Garcia. You may remember me from my podcast, Anything for Selena or My Dibble. I love pop culture.
