Hey, >> you know, that's a actually Can I ask.

you a question cuz you guys keep up with. this? >> Yeah. >> Is the Madlanga Commission cuz in. America when you testify in front of the. Senate, almost nothing happens. afterwards. >> Every time. >> Yeah. I've never really heard something. happening. >> No, almost nothing happens. when the big. banks came and testified after um after. the the the recession. >> when they created that you know the. recession with the default hous.

>> they went and testified and then nothing. >> too big to fail. >> um when um when the social media giants. went to testify nothing happens to those. guys. >> nothing happens. >> you just you just go there and testify. >> I think I think it's performance of of. accountability without actually the. consequences of accountability. And I. think that's what they do. >> But I'm asking, do our commissions have. teeth? >> Let's say yes. >> Yes. Do they have teeth? >> Yeah. People have been arrested. There's. a guy, >> there's one guy, I think, who's been. arrested seven times?

>> Well, this is the commission. >> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. >> Julius, >> what do you mean he's been arrested. seven times? >> Arrest the bail. Then. >> another case, >> and then another case. Someone else test. in the commission. >> You're lying. >> He is implicated again. Bam. Arrested. again. >> They fetch him again. >> They fetch him again. >> Put him in a car. >> Puts him in a car again. B. Two. Three. Four. Five. Now we're number. five. >> Number five. [laughter].

>> Five different cases. >> Do they not go at some point? Just stay. >> Just stay. >> And the cop who comes to arrest him. >> always wears the same uniform. He wears. a red jumpsuit. >> Wait, is this televised. >> with a hat? Yes, [laughter]. >> you guys are lying. >> Shine as you can get the cop that arrest. him. Yeah, but [laughter]. >> red jumpsuit with like a a red hat that. like goes here [laughter]. >> and then he hit a smoke break and come. outside with the cameras waiting for him. to. >> Wait, wait, wait. Okay, so they bring.

cameras. >> Yes. The news. >> with the police. >> So the news is told ahead of time, we're. going to arrest this guy and then they. come there and then arrest the person. >> Huh. And I think this time around he. even had like when he comes out of the. van right at the back of the van. >> I think he's got like this cuffed in as. well and it's just he's like out here. cuz now he knows he knows the process. >> Wait he's got a lunch box. Yeah. Yeah. Like a family meal bag. >> A family meal bag because and he's. smiling because he's used to. >> dressed warm. No belt buckle. No. strings.

>> Yeah. >> Wearing slipping shoes. >> Dressed already for prison. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, arrested seven. times, but then does that mean. something's going to happen? >> Well, there are cases that are literally. being uh going to process through the. courts right now. >> Yeah. But I'm saying have we cuz the. last big one was it was a Zondo. commission, right? >> That was a waste of money. >> So, nothing happened. >> I don't think it was. >> What? Like, guys, nothing really. happened. >> Without you don't get. >> Madanga. Yeah. >> But no, but you only got. >> Oh, so those are two those are very.

different. So, Madlanga is the better. call soul of Zundo's breaking. >> 100%. >> Yes. M. >> so now you must remember that at my at. Zo it was state capture. >> Zo writes a report. So. >> wait wait wait wait just to refresh my. memory. So okay the first commission we. had in this country. >> was or the the big one the Zonda one. >> was because the Gupta family was that. family from India. >> Yeah. But they were part of it and a. group of other people. We had found that. the the president or people around him. had sold the country to them.

essentially. >> Yes. >> Through paratus. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So they had like. liquidated the country and sold it to. these people essentially power utilities. etc etc. >> trains every that's why like our infra. infrastructure was part of why our. infrastructure was screwed okay. >> that's what that was for. >> yes. >> and then what happened. >> so after the commission the commissioner. must write a report. >> so now documents are compiled report. recommendations for people to be charged. everything happened. >> then nothing happened but for that to. happen remember you must have um the. national prosecuting authority.

>> okay. >> they must press charges Okay. So the. main prosecution something did happen. >> Yes. >> What happened? >> I I remember now. They arrested Jacob. Gazum. >> No, but they arrested him for defiance, not for state. >> Okay. Okay. That Okay, that is that is. also true. >> That Yeah, I guess you're right. You're. right. >> Yeah, that's similar. You see, that's. what I mean in America as well. You'll. like now you saw Anthony Fouchy. >> Oh, yeah. >> He's now in more trouble for not. testifying than for what he did or. didn't do. They're just like, "No, we're.

we're coming after you for not. testifying." Yeah. But so Zondo writes a. report. >> Yeah. >> Makes recommendations, sends the. recommendation to NPA, said National. Prosecuting Authority, >> Department of Justice, basically. prosecute these people. Now there the. state prosecutors, that's where they all. live. >> But then it turns out there there were. there was no willingness to prosecute in. the first place. Enter Muana. >> Muana is like, "No, the police are. captured. Not only the tradition, okay,

you guys are building the story nicely. for me. Is Kwanazi the guy that came out. the press conference? Yo, this was one. of the most gangster things I've ever. seen. >> cuz I just saw a video. >> where this top cop came out. >> with no um. >> warning warning. No, we were chilling. >> Everyone was chilling. >> Sunday was the best. >> Sunday of my life, [laughter]. >> dude. And that guy is the one. He just. came out and he held a press conference. and he said by himself, he was like, "Guys, the police are corrupt.

>> The police, the people the police report. to are corrupt. I can't report this to. my superiors because they're corrupt and. the people under me are corrupt and the. people to the sides of me are corrupt. >> My wife is corrupt." [laughter]. >> Then the wife was like, "Yeah.". And then he said, "The judges are. corrupt. >> The judges are the lawyers are corrupt. The prosecutors are corrupt.". >> So this all came from that came from. that. >> No ways. So when they when they dig deep. at IDA which is supposed to investigate. malfence and the police. >> and the NPA they find out these people. in cahoots not to prosecute people. So.

those cases the state capture they're. the ones who are supposed to prosecute. them. They didn't. >> and then cartels were involved now drugs. coming in. >> like what do you like South African. cartels? >> Yeah like American drug cartels. No man. what you guys are lying. >> Okay. Well guys I've been gone for like. a few years. What's happening here man? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can. I tell you? [laughter]. >> I want you to tell. I. >> work at the NBA. Let me tell you. >> Let me tell you. As. >> I feel like you guys are at my. commission [laughter] as. >> what what's been happening here, guys?

>> Oh. Um, >> wait. What's been happening here? >> I I I can I. >> And that's how people [laughter]. >> What did they say? H I revoke I I I. revoke what? Not I invoke my right to. remain silent. >> Yeah, that's that's what [laughter] you. can't invoke that one. >> Why not here? We don't have the fifth. amendment. So in America, you. >> actually the 35th in South Africa. >> 35th. We have it. >> It's the 35th. The right to remate. Yeah. Not to incriminate yourself. >> Yeah. That one you can only invoke the. right not to incriminate yourself. If.

there's a criminal case against you. So. you have to say I'm accused for this. thing and I'm being prose. But the right. to remain silent only works when you're. being arrested. >> So as you're being arrested, >> yeah, >> you can say I have to reminisce myself. Yes. >> No. >> The right to remain silent is when. you're being arrested, it doesn't stop. you from arresting you. It just stops. them from questioning you. >> Because remember that when you're being. arrested, >> even someone saying to you, "Ah, why did.

you do that?" Got it. >> And then you reply, >> that's already part of your statement. >> Yes. That's why that's why you're not. because it's like it's it's against what. your council might have told you to say. or not say. >> So, you must just keep quiet. >> But it's different if you're in like. court. Now, >> in court, you can say I invoke the right. not to incriminate myself. However, even. then, >> okay, but now guys, can we even there's. a blanket? >> But wait, can we go there something very. >> Can we talk about this for a second? >> Yeah. Like, okay, here we don't have. juries. >> Yes, I'm not going to lie. >> If I was on a jury, let me tell you. something. I wish South Africa had. juries. South African juries would be.

the would be the most gangster juries in. the world. >> In the world. Cuz if you have you seen. footage of American juries, they just. sit there. Sometimes they scribble, sometimes they write. Here in South. Africa, we'd have people be like, "YO, [laughter]. [laughter]. you. >> That's very true. That is. >> But we we we've had the version of that.

with um I call it legal Twitter.". >> Yeah, I'm listening. >> Ah, when those people that speak on. whatever is happening at the commission, we have great minds there. >> Oh, that's true. I mean, we all. graduated with LLB's kumlad. It's so. funny. >> Even I'm going to a graduation this. afternoon of my own online cuz you know. so funny. [laughter]. It's so funny. And I should say this, right? There is I saw a comment on. Twitter yesterday cuz you guys remember. like Yes. Yesterday the spring balls. were playing the all blacks.

>> and those planes, you know, >> and. a comment. Wait, wait, wait. >> What? the planes and then. >> No, we'll come back to [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Come back news. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, so this comment says, this guy says, "Okay, uh, today we are. all pilots. Tomorrow we all go back to. being lawyers. [laughter]. [laughter].

>> We're good at this thing, >> okay? But yeah, [snorts]. >> I am not a pilot, but you know what I. am?". >> I'm so relieved. Yes. >> I am a driver. >> Yeah. >> And as a driver. >> and a good one at that, >> I aim to avoid obstacles. >> Yeah. >> I'm just saying. >> Yeah. >> I was unaware that it is safe and. normal. >> Mhm. >> To fly through like a snow. >> the [laughter] poof of what? What? What?

>> The green the green poof plume of smoke. Like I if you here's my thing. You know. the way those planes flew over the. stadium? >> Yeah. >> I I I wouldn't have thought, oh, they're. high, they're low, they're not. It's. because that one flew through the plume. and [clears throat] then made a turn. >> and like a hard turn. >> I won't lie. To me, that didn't look. like it was the correct height. >> It was the correct height maybe for the. stadium cuz it didn't hit the stadium.

>> Yeah. >> But I don't know that anyone would plan. would plan to fly through plumes of pink. smoke. That thing looked like the most. expensive gender reveal in history, bro. That's what [laughter] that thing looked. like. Did you see that thing? >> Did you see that thing too, right? >> I mean, like that. Yeah. It's so funny. when I I was watching the game like on. TV live and I was like and and I was. like and Sasha was just about to kick. off and then they told him to wait. because the fly over was they were still. waiting for the plane, right? >> And then I was like, ah, I remember.

making this comment. I was like, "Ah, these guys are late." You know, as a. plane is they're coming through. And. >> I saw nothing wrong. I was like, "Yeah.". Cuz I'm used to it, right? It happens. But that I've never. >> Have you ever seen them fly that low? >> The flag. You have? Yeah. The fly over. is very low. >> I I have I have actually a picture when. like global citizens, but but then like. you are backstage so you would have seen. this, but one flu and it's like it feels. like it's so close. It's so like you can.

just touch it like I was there. I was. like I think I can touch this thing. >> I think this might have been actually. the smallest fly over plane wise cuz. those were embrias. Maybe that's why they could fly so low. because they were embrias. They weren't. um. >> 747s. >> Yeah, they weren't 747s or 737s. >> But but isn't is it is it the first time. we were flying two? >> Yeah, because I Yes, cuz you always fly. too small. Cuz I think it's. >> and I think that's what this is SA it's. airlink. It's not a heirlink is like a a.

regional carrier. >> It's not a longhaul international. carrier. So they were like we're going. to show you. >> still talking about them. >> But I think the turn is what I mean. about them. But I think it's the turn. that got people talking if he had gone. through the plume. >> It's not the turned do not. They're. saying it's so low. They're saying I. don't know what feet are but in America. they're saying what is it like? >> They said 50 ft. They said it was 50 ft. How do they know which 12 m 14 m. >> from like. >> no the roof of the stadium. >> from the because the plane they have to.

tell you where the plane every plane you. know it's height. >> the flight plan has to [snorts]. >> Yeah. But guys traffic control in Cape. Town would have never approved. that height if it wasn't okay within the. legal you understand what I'm saying. that's in the flight plan. >> That's not what people are arguing. People are saying did those pilots hit. the correct height? >> Yeah. But there's no way that they could. not. What do you mean? >> Because they are flying a machine that. tells them 10,000 5,000. >> Man, have you heard of plane crashes?

>> Yeah, but this guy you're going to act. like. >> But there's no turn. >> Yo, week in and week out there are. professional pilots who fly those like. those jet exhibition things and like. every few months there's a crash. >> Okay, if there was one, >> every few months there's those pilots. who do like a trick and something and. they fly past the people. There was the. one, did you see the one where they um. they did the supersonic boom? You know. when they go like Yeah. >> And they did it too close to the people. I like that. >> Blew kids away. Everything, [laughter]. >> you know, when things go flying, bro.

[clears throat] People discovered their. fathers were actually born. >> IF I WAS A KID, IF I was [laughter]. wait out. [laughter]. >> Yo, that a Sonic Boom is the enemy. of a toupe, son. Don't play games. [laughter]. I want a divorce. You know, there some bits where you're. like, I wish I thought of [laughter]. that one. >> Wait, if [snorts] it was a 737747 man. >> flying on its own,

>> then that happened, but but it went too. low. I would believe. >> Two planes going low at the same time. Smaller ones. [laughter]. >> No, two planned. >> Yeah, but I'm saying it couldn't have. been a mistake. You're saying, okay, you're saying because two were at the. same height. Yes. Okay, then I'm with. you. No, then you arrest you actually. Thank you. >> This commission. >> I'll write a report. I agree with. Eugene. Fantastic argument. Thank I I'm. in with you. But also like. >> of two professional pilots or cabins. making the same mistake. >> with co-pilots on board four people now.

>> I'm completely in agreement with you now. and% [clears throat]. say this uh remember outliers Malcolm. Gladwell. So there he specifically. speaks about. safety protocols and all. Korea used to have like a lot of crashes. number of crashes. >> and one of the reasons that happened was. because the pilots the co-pilots because. of the hierarch you know hierarchy.

>> the co-pilot you were not allowed to. tell your boss or my chap captain you're. going to kill us now. >> so you have to imply. >> and they must figure out what you're. trying to say. >> So you can't really tell Jung, right? >> But then and they found that the. countries that had. hierarchy, high rates of hierarchy, >> yes, >> you were more likely. crashes than countries that did not. And. South Africa. >> a flat structure. >> Yeah. South Africa.

>> podcast. >> South Africa does not. It's not that we. don't respect authority, we question. authority. And because South Africa. questions authority, we have one of the. lowest fatalities in the world. >> And you know what? Our co-pilot, >> forget our co-pilot here. The people in. the front row like, "Hey, check check.". [laughter] Hey, pilot pilot pilot. Watch. Hey, watch watch. Hey, watch. >> Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. Mountain. Okay. Sh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Check check check. [laughter]. Okay.

>> Nimbus. Nimbus. [laughter]. Okay. You saw it. You saw it. sharp. >> I'm just making sure. >> Yeah, cuz the last. >> Have you ever seen Do you remember in. taxis there was literally a sticker that. said. >> there was cuz you remember taxi drivers. had the stickers. There was the um to. know me does not mean you must not pay. >> Then there was the when days are dark, friends are few. Then there was the. other one. I love your perm but not on. my window. >> And then one of the other ones taxi can. stop anywhere at any time. >> Yes. Yes. You remember that one?

This taxi can stop anywhere. >> I think we still need [laughter] it. today. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> But there was one. >> that used to say it was something to the. effect of. >> just because you are in the front seat. seeing something with me does not mean. you are driving this taxi. It was. something to. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. >> Because because people in the front seat. would always be like cuz now you're. sitting right next to the taxi driver. And remember taxis in South Africa, they're not like normal cars in that. there's no hood.

>> There's no. Yeah. So you It's like being in the. front seat of a roller coaster. >> Yeah. Actually, yeah. >> You know what I mean? So everything's. here. So then everyone next to the taxi. driver would be like, "Yeah, yeah.". And then taxi drivers like, "Nah, bro. Hey, [snorts] just because you're. sitting here doesn't mean you're. driving.". >> So they put that stick on the dashboard. >> Yes. >> For the passenger in front. >> There were lots of them. Remember there. was the other one that says um my name. is not Dunkey Driver. >> Yes. [laughter]. >> You don't remember these stickers, bro? There were so many of them made a.

killing with there was so we could have. back in the day actually. >> Oh, there was so many and they were. amazing. >> That was like some of the first comedy I. learned actually in my life was the. stickers that I saw in taxis cuz as a. child I used to look at them and be. like, yo, [laughter] if you ask me when. I was five or 6 years old, who's your. favorite comedian? I'd say the stickers. on taxis. [laughter]. >> Best gags I've ever seen in my life. Bro, remember the one who was coming up. with those? >> You do not take taxes. Why don't you. remember this thing? >> But do you remember? >> Mean when I got to Texas, I minded my. business. [laughter]. >> There was even a sticker for that.

>> Do you remember there was a So you had. stickers that went in all different. places, right? So there were stickers. that were specifically for the front. passengers. There were stickers that. were for above the door. Above the door. >> Then there were stickers that were at. the overhead facing all the passengers. Then there were stickers outside on the. back of the taxi for people behind the. taxi. >> Behind the taxi. The stickers that were. in the front, those were generally. geared towards the front passengers, telling you a few things. So, for. instance, it was. >> You must count the money. >> Yes. You're not driving, you're. counting. Then there was another one.

which was Oh, it was the one of no fat. people allowed. >> Yes. Yeah. No fat people. Yeah. >> You don't remember this sticker? No fat people in front. >> You don't remember to LOAD. [laughter]. [laughter] THAT. >> YEAH, that's a great way. We're going to. start saying that, >> but man, you remember it. There was a. So, there was a sticker and it had um it. had two fat people and the driver like. this. I. >> remember this so well. >> And then the sticker basically was like,

"Yo, bro, know you must know whether you. sit in the front seat or not. >> You must know yourself." Yeah. Basically, >> to thine old self be true. They were. like, "Hey, [laughter] yeah, yeah, >> you came out your house knowing your. weight. Don't act surprised at the. front.". >> So, like they So, they had So, those. were all the stickers in the front. The. one about slamming the door as well. So. the Yeah, but the slamming the door one. that was above the door. >> Yeah. >> Yes. So it was something to the effect. of. >> those were new taxes. >> No, I the doors used to fall out. >> No, I know. I'm joking. I'm just saying.

that. Remember like cuz those taxes. guys, the freaking doors fell out all. the time. >> But that's why they said don't slam it, >> guys. >> If you slam it. Yeah. >> But the problem was that like door would. fall off. >> But then but then there were some if you. didn't slam it the door couldn't close. >> Yes. No. But no. There's technique. There's technique. So, >> if you slam the door, it falls off. >> Okay. >> So, what you do with the bad ones is. >> you're supposed to slide hard from the. beginning, but at the end, you must push. it in. >> Ah, yeah. I remember. I remember this. technique. Now, I remember now. People.

would just slam forward, then it would. derail and then because it comes out of. the hinge, >> and then the funniest [laughter] is they. would just leave. >> Yeah. >> Those people never stayed around. >> Who would? [laughter]. And then if you're sitting by the door, it's your job now to fix it. >> And that was the shittiest scene. And. now that you remember that rope, now. there's a rope. That now the rope is. your responsibility. [laughter] Now the. taxi driver is telling you to pull the. rope so that you can now get the door. back on. Now you're lifting a door. At. this point, you're 10 years old going,

"What is what am I doing with my life?". >> You're getting shouted over the. shoulder. [laughter]. I would have lived. >> Yeah. So there were so there were those. ones. >> and then there was the stickers on the. windows that gave you general etiquette. There was another one about speaking. loud. >> I know I don't there was also there was. also a music one. >> Yes, but like. >> but request [clears throat] Yeah. >> Yes. Don't request music. >> Don't request music. >> There were some people who texted tell.

the taxi driver and say, "Oh, can you. play this song?". >> Yeah. No. >> It's like listen, >> I'm not a DJ. I'm a driver. There. [laughter] were there were a lot of. them. >> Simmyi, can you look them up and see if. you can find any. >> the exit one at the back? No one has. ever used that emergency exit. >> Okay, but you tell me cuz I used to look. at this all the time as a kid. >> You tell me who that thing says kick, >> my man. Look how I'm sitting now. >> And you're sitting This is more space. than I've ever had in the backseat of a. taxi. Fact. Okay. Fact. Now,

>> and where your head is is where the. emergency exit is. >> The window starts. >> Now you tell me. >> Yeah. In what world some goes down? So now we're in the taxi. We're there. Now I'm there. Ah, we can't get out the. front. Hey, go out the backside. Hey, emergency exit. Kick here. [laughter]. There's no hammer.

>> There's no They didn't give you. anything. >> They said kick here, [laughter]. >> guys. Not punch, >> not header, >> not push. It said kick here. >> Who? >> My man, what jetly life am I living. [laughter] that I'm going to kick this. window be? Guys, this the seat was here. >> Also, yes, now that you say that, the. seat was here. This kicking thing, >> why is it that when there's a car. accident, you shoes are everywhere? >> This [laughter] is a good question. >> Even during a car accident,

>> even if you get bumped by a car, >> yeah, shoes are on. Shoes are always. like Yeah, shoes leave the chat first. >> Why? >> I've never known. >> I think it's because maybe as people. when we're in like a very very when. whenever humans are in a situation no. whenever humans are in like a very like. exciting stressful situation I think our. feet like do things. >> Uhhuh. N. >> I'm telling you every accident. there's shoes everyone. >> Yes. Yes. >> I've always want to use that word. >> You use it correctly. >> Strewn everywhere. All sorts. Shoes.

>> You're not wrong. shoes with no socks. >> You're not wrong. >> Why? >> And I'm saying there for us. >> And I'm saying it's because I'm saying. it's because like you do like a. >> there's like a thing that you do. >> Oh, they just they just don't tie their. shoelaces properly. I think they. >> But man, why are you blaming them. [laughter] now? >> No, it's it's the shoelaces. >> So you you think every time people are. just running around without tied. shoelaces? >> I I think so. I really think people are. not getting [laughter] the proper. shoelaces. It makes no sense. >> Wait, if it was one type of shoe. >> Yeah. that just flies out.

>> Eugene is completely correct. >> There you see flip flops, you see pumps, you see. >> No, Eugene is not lying. >> Yeah, but remember whenever you are. stressed, >> your toes curl. >> and shoes are either too big. >> No, no, no. >> Oh, >> so you're saying accidents expose your. shoe game. >> Exactly. [clears throat]. >> No, but remember this. Whenever you are. tense, >> your toes do that turbo holding on to. your shoes. >> Yeah. in an accident high impact. Your. your toes are already doing that. automatically. That's your.

>> that's your butt clinch for your feet. >> like this thing for your toes. >> I'm trying to think. >> is butt clinch for your you understand. what I'm saying? But maybe that action. pulls the foot out of the shoe. >> No, but if my shoes are too big and I do. this, my shoes stay. >> Yeah, it's it's a difficult one. I don't. know. I mean, my mom used to tell me. that all the time. No, she'd say like that's why you must. make sure you wear socks that have no. holes and clean underwear. >> Then she's like because if you get. bumped by a car, those are the two. things that are going to show. >> your underwear.

>> Then I was like, "Mom, what are you. telling me here?". >> Then she said, "In an accident, I'm not. even joking." She said, "In an accident, in an accident, she'd say, "Everyone's. going to see your socks because your. shoes come off.". >> And then she was like, "And everyone's. going to see your underwear." Cuz that's. another thing. When you get hit by a. car, for some reason your pants have. always come here [laughter]. and then your ass is exposed. >> It's true though. Have you ever been hit. by a car? >> No. Jesus. >> Have you? No. >> Have you? No. Never. I've been in a in a. bike accident. Yes. >> Motorbike. >> Yeah. Yeah. When was this?

>> And she asked me, >> I don't have time to think now. >> Yeah. She asked me, "What what were you. thinking?" And I'm like, "I don't know. who you are. I don't know what's going. on. And why is my bed so hard?". >> Gandhi, an accident had happened. >> Wow. >> Damn. >> So, I look around. >> I'm finally going, "Okay, let me do. check cuz I need you to know the rules.

And [clears throat] then. >> cuz I feel like you wearing jackets. >> Yeah. jacket and everything. >> But those things are not help. The thing. is if you break a fall properly on a. bike, you survive. >> That's true. [clears throat]. >> So mostly with motorbike accidents, people don't get killed by the fall.

>> They get killed by cars running over. them after the fall. >> They say you don't get killed by the the. accident. You get killed. What happens. after the accident? Like hitting the. wall or hitting another car or hitting. something. >> or cars running over you after you've. fallen. >> Oh my. >> So I survived.

LYING. I'm telling you. >> No. Oh my goodness. A week later, I was. like, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. Then I can feel numbness on my back. Numbness on my back. I'm like, "No, I'm. not fine." Went for a scan. They were. like, "Ah, I've got an acute pinched. nerve." What happened here? It was the. accident and then. >> like by. >> Yeah. >> They're being rammed from the back.

>> Two lives. >> in two days. If you if you were telling. this to your American friends, they'd be. like, "Man, Eugene, you were super. unlucky." If you tell it to your African. friends, they'll be like, "Somebody was. trying to kill you. [laughter]. There is some witchcraft somewhere in. the world and somebody was trying to. kill you. >> I hope you prayed after [laughter] that. >> I prayed. I I I was like. >> there's no way you survive something. like that. You think everything is. normal. >> Don't press anything. [music]. We've got more. What now? After this.

>> The reason your life flashes before your. eyes before you [music] die is because. your brain is searching for any um. memory that could save you from this. moment. Oh, >> you know, back to school season has a. way of making every day feel like a race. against time. And it's funny how back to. school doesn't just affect the kids, it. changes everyone's rhythm.

Do. you know you're dying or do you know. you're dead? Let's say for example, >> you die in your sleep. You see, when. people say people die peacefully in. their sleep, >> you've slept and you've remembered that. you're sleeping. When you wake up, you're like, "Oh, there was this one. time I went to go pee.". >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Where when you die while you.

asleep when do you know as a sleeping. person that you're dead? >> You know what great person to answer. that would have been Jesus. >> Johnny. >> the only person who came back from. >> he came back [laughter]. >> you know about that thing. No one ever. saw him walking out of there. You're not. wrong. [laughter] But no one. >> wrong. No one saw him. It would have. been great if people were just a little. more curious about those kinds of. things. >> Just tell me. >> No dude. So what um [laughter]. >> No, no. Good to have you back. really. good to have you back. That was crazy.

>> Yes, because Judas. Yo, [laughter]. I mean, yo, I mean, we knew he was sus, but damn, bro. Damn. Wow. Judas. [laughter] Because look, if if But. listen, I have a question. So, like. right afterwards, where where are you? Like, where where were you for those. three days? [laughter] How does it feel? >> So, when he died, like how did it feel? Like, how did you know? My friend Eugene. wants to know. Yeah, because here's how. >> you know, you know, I heard I heard. something the other day. I don't know.

where it was. It was really, it was just. really fun and fascinating. Might have. been in an anime I was watching or. something, but they were like like the. reason your life flashes before your. eyes before you die is because your. brain is searching for any um memory. that could save you from this moment. >> Oh, you're scrolling through your. >> like literally that is your final. survival instinct. So just before you. die, your body's like everything going. like, "Wait, wait, wait. Is there a way. to escape this? Is there is there. something I've learned somewhere in my.

life that can help me escape this?" They. they it was just a hypothesis and I. >> For me, there's two things that happen. >> Yeah. >> I go to the bathroom at night. >> and then also my nose gets dry. >> So I usually put like Vaseline in my. nose. >> That's how I know I'm still alive. [laughter]. >> Okay. Huh? I'm lying. >> Ka, the day. >> Yo, what? >> The day my nose feels moisturized. throughout the night. >> I don't need to put Vaseline to make. sure. This is your.

This is your. >> This is his um what's it called again? >> Ah man. >> This is your inception. Yes. This is. your inception. >> Yes. That's your totem. >> Eugene is like when my nose is not dry. >> Yeah. I'll know. I'll know this is not. >> even on a flight. I'm like I'm like yes. this is sharp [laughter]. >> because the the day the day throughout. the night fully moisturized no dry you.

know that dry part of the back of your. dry part. >> I know exactly which part. >> you'll know you've moved on. I'll know. the day. >> I'm breathing easy. I'm moisturized. >> Man, you know what would be so funny to. do to Eugene? >> Don't prank to prank him to prank him. >> We we we find where he's [laughter]. sleeping. >> We hide humidifiers, extra humidifiers. >> We make him sleep through the whole. night moisturized. Then he wakes up the. next day being like, "Ah, I guess I'm. dead." [laughter] And then he just moves. through the world. We see Eugene running.

naked there. THEY CAN'T SEE ME. [laughter]. DAMN, YOU just came back from a funeral, didn't you? >> Yes. Yes. In Switzerland. >> How was it? >> Um, >> I said like it was a gig. Sorry. >> It was fantastic. >> No, [laughter] I didn't mean it like. that. I didn't mean it like that at all. >> What a great. >> You know, black people say, "What else. could you have done?". >> But that's what I mean. That's So, it's. hard to ask it in English. >> That's true. I don't mean. >> because how was it with the correct is.

is the correct translation. Yes. But if. you say it in van, if you say like in. Zulu, if you go like or like. you would go. >> it's more like. how did it unfold? How did it turn out. to be. >> you know. >> as opposed to like how was it cuz what. you say is like usually people say like. >> which we have. >> put him or her the direct translation, right? But actually cuz I'd never been. to a funeral service like that in my.

entire life. >> Why? What was different? Because there. was a DJ [snorts]. [laughter]. if Come on. If you're ready to see this. casket going to the ground, let me hear. you make some noiseam. If. if we going to get us back to the ground. [laughter] nowhere if he is he ain't. ever going nowhere but he is though. >> Yeah. >> Sorry. So what was the difference? [laughter]. So the funeral service is there you you.

have to be buried before sunrise before. the sun rises. >> or like in Limpobu. >> and not only that so which meant that. it's supposed to be like at 4 in the. morning okay. >> right and it's like an hour right like. the service the service. >> you know arrived. >> very efficient. >> very efficient uh only the people spoke. was someone read the obituary. >> okay. >> and there was a a family member who um.

spoke. >> Yeah, >> that was it. Walked out. We went to the. graveyard and an hour done. >> I'm not mad at that. >> I I I mean I was very I was and I was. thinking we were having breakfast like. at 8, but breakfast. full on like. >> funeral for breakfast. Yeah, we're having daytime. Daytime. funeral food for breakfast. Yes, that's. what we're having. Which was a bit I was. like, "Oh, this is this is.

>> you know where K was like cuz that's one. of those weird situations where you got. to be like, "Guys, guys, guys, you're. killing me here. [laughter] I can't. wait. Sorry, let me rephrase. What I. mean is I can't live like this. Sorry, let me rephrase [laughter]. guys.". >> It was very cut. >> Yeah, it was very [laughter]. interesting. And I remember thinking I. was like, "Guys, in the Eastern Cape, we're already having breakfast. It would. not have started. The funeral started by. So did you did you prefer it or did you. >> Yeah, that's why how did you.

>> I did not app you know like you know you. know may my friend rest in peace. I. didn't appreciate waking up so early. [laughter]. >> I was like you can do for him. I was. like hey this is I wake up but they. accommodated I think people from out of. town they actually made the service at. 6:00 rather than 4:00. >> just for that. >> Yeah just for that. Um, but otherwise I. mean I did appreciate how quickly. everything happened because when I think. about I was like back in the cave or and.

they go on forever like for a long long. time. >> So you see I'm torn on that because I I. think both have their merits. >> So I think a short and efficient funeral. is great. if you're not particularly close to the. person. >> Ah. >> right. But like I remember from my. grandmother's funeral. It was weird. because I watched my grandma mother's. funeral online because it was during co. >> right so I couldn't travel for it and.

then. >> the comments open. >> they if they were it would have been. amazing actually that would have been. amazing [laughter] cuz I would have been. there in the comments. >> RIP GG. [laughter]. Yo that in roll three. Yo my man should. also be in a box soon man. No I actually. wasn't. So, but I had to watch it, which. was very It was very surreal experience. >> Weird. It's the most surreal experience. I've ever had cuz I was watching people. I know. >> and my family. >> but in a in a screen at home.

>> Yes. >> Cuz you're at home watching. >> Yeah. So, I'm watching them and I'm. like, you know, >> but what I what I noticed was cuz it was. long. It was like 4 hours maybe. 4 hours. service. >> Did you make snacks in between? >> Yeah. I took breaks. I I was I I that. was the part that I did enjoy. How did. you time when to go pee, make a. sandwich, >> when who was talking or what was doing. cuz you can come back. >> No, singing actually Kai's right. Singing is an easy one because what. would happen is um people would speak.

>> you know like my grandmother's friends. would come people but then in the middle. of while they're speaking the person. would start singing. >> Yes. >> You know so they'd start a song. >> Yeah. They'd be like, "Ah, you know, uh, when I met uh Francis, we were this old. and we lived together and this was our. time and the first time she helped me. and this is how we knew each other and. what what what you know what I mean?". And then the person would stop and then. they'd be like, "And. then they'd start singing." Then I'll be. like, "Oh, now you can go cuz I can go. do something and I can hear what's.

happening in the background." Great. Some of the songs I like. No, some of. them like the ones that I knew there. So. the ones that I knew, no, the ones that. I knew were my grand. I had known. >> Then I would sing those. You know what I. mean?

Stuck around for that one. Then ah cuz that like fully brought my. grand back to me. Does that make sense? So those ones where I WAS LIKE AH GO. WOULD BE HERE cuz she used to give me. that little um. >> ispam. What do you call it? >> Yeah pillow. Yeah but it has a name. >> I like [laughter] invented that. I like. >> Yeah. But it was the the leather. It was. a leather pillow. [laughter]. >> Pam is the person who's not supposed to.

sit at the front in a taxi. So it was so it was a leather pillow. >> that you had to hit so that everyone. could be on beat together. So and it it. had like a satisfying. >> the church metronome. >> Yeah. Perfect way to put it. It had a. beautiful thumping sound to it. >> Yeah. Like a like a deep and as a kid I. used to hit that thing. >> I would argue that my my sense of rhythm. is because of that. >> Makes sense [clears throat] actually. >> from a young age. >> Makes sense. cuz you had to keep rhythm,

>> my friend. It was like. >> and you can't mess up with that thing. And not only that, >> responsibility. >> Not only that, you you had you had to. know how the song is going to go because. remember when when we're singing these. songs, >> they always start very slow because it. has to give everyone time to get into. the song. >> Then they start getting faster and. faster. The BPMs go up. Maybe that's why. I became a DJ as well. So the BPMs go up. go up go up go up. >> You know the story is supposed to go. That's why I became a [laughter] that's. why I became a pastor. And then and then you also have to be.

like at the end because you know what I. mean cuz it goes it goes. So when you. start you be like the person starts with. no with no uh beat first, right? be like. then like the the men will come and. lower.

You see, you got to keep this. Jerusalem. And you go and you'll go and you control. the temple of Yeah. But you have to feel. what they're doing cuz I'm a kid. I'm. not controlling this. This is the prayer. meeting. I'm not controlling this. This. is happening. I have to keep this going, but I have to feel the the only kid. there. No, sometimes there'd be like. two, maybe three. But I was the one who.

was doing this. You know what I mean? So. I'm there. I'm doing the beat. I have to. keep it going. What we don't know is the slow downes. the ending. >> The worst thing you could do is hit it. >> Not necessarily the ending, by the way. It could be a. >> Yeah. just allow the love. You just. because because the person might just be. like.

and so and as the rhythm keeps on. HOMEWORK MAN. HEY, MY MAN. YOU GOT TO. KEEP YOU DON'T KNOW. >> YO, as a I would be there as a kid. watching cuz I. >> people's mouths. >> Yeah. Because there's the the person who. started I'm like I got to cuz the first.

few times they hit me with that job. Obviously I was just beating the thing. then now my mom was like first of all. she's like you know what I mean? >> Who did you take the gig from? No. From. adults. >> So one day you were hanging around they. were like the time adults used to do. that thing. >> Yeah. And then I took which I wasn't. supposed to remember all the church. goodies were like put away the things. people would wear. >> Yeah. The bells everything was like the. ark of the covenant. Jesus's shroud. >> All of it. All of it. [laughter] It was.

all put away. >> Was all put away. The nails from the. crucifixion. Everything was the rock. from [laughter]. everything. The rock of Gibralta. donkey that Jesus took to everything was. there. Everything. The presenty test. Mary Everything was at the corner by the. room divider. So we had [laughter]. everything everything. It's literally. like that the the the specific Bible. that we read for that for those. >> that was it that leather one leather. one. >> So all these things were specific. So. >> you were not allowed to just touch it.

randomly. My grand would be very lenient. to me. So I would and then I would just. walk around the house cuz I was like. there's nothing. Imagine you're a kid, bro. You're like a 3, foury old. >> You've got a leather pillow that you can. hit as hard as you want. This is the. greatest gift of all strap behind it. with a strap. You never lose it. Yeah. >> So then outside of church, this is not. this is not during church time. >> It's at home. >> So then my grand said, my mom would. always be like, "Hey, like stop being. you know what I mean? Put that thing. away." Then my grand said, "No.

Clearly, he has a gift. Encourage this gift of his because this. bum bum is a very like it's a very. stressful job to have. Let him, you know. what I mean?" But then my mom was like, "Yo, bro, don't don't mess around at. church.". >> Wait, wait. This feels like the Manga. Commission. [laughter]. Wait, go on. Clarification. [laughter]. >> We don't know what you're busy with. Well, Trevor invoked on me. You dropped.

everything you were [laughter] doing. >> But [laughter]. like in at church n. >> Yeah. Why is it that kids or have the most. difficult jobs? Why like in the Catholic. church? >> Oh yeah, >> man. That thing can start fires with. robes. >> Yeah, that's so true. >> And wooden benches. >> You chose to GIVE TO GIVE THAT GIG TO A. KID. >> The holding of the wine during the. >> Yes. Yes. >> And the lighting of the candles. >> The lighting of the.

knew. >> Yeah. the innocent pure souls suffer. little children to come unto me for. theirs is the kingdom of heaven. >> Amen. >> And forbid [snorts] them not. >> So my grand was like yo man instead of. chastising him for doing that thing, >> right? >> Let him do it then. >> So now every in fact that was the reason. I now started enjoying Bible service. I. was like cuz I was like yo man most of. the time I'm sitting there waiting for. them to finish. >> Bro, you just like you're like yo these.

prayers don't end. And they used to come. during cartoon time. Hey my man, I wish. it was cartoon time. It wasn't even. about cartoon time cuz it was at my. grand's house in Orlando. We didn't have. like a TV in that way. I don't even. remember us having a TV. >> So it was at night. >> Oh, it was one of those. >> It was the evening ones where everyone. all the other granny's would come over. >> I know the first Thursday one. >> And then the ones where not only that, but remember they would all throw shade. at each other in the prayers. Do you. remember that [laughter] one? >> Prayer off. >> Prayer guys. Guys, that was the most the. most G cuz I remember as a kid being.

[laughter] like cuz what they would do. is they would go they would pray they. would pray but they would be like oh. >> oh heavenly father up above then they'd. be like oh. >> oh heavenly father we thank you for. being here with you know they do the. introductions but so my grand would. always be like Francis Noah 6236 Orlando. east should give the full address every. and even as a kid I used to be like oh. he doesn't KNOW WHERE WE ARE [laughter]. >> BUT I BUT can I tell you I appreciated. the humility Cuz I asked my grand no I. asked my grand once. I said.

>> God knows everything. Why do you always. introduce yourself? >> And she was like Trevor how busy is God? >> Why do I assume that he knows me? >> Let me make his job easier. So I was. like [clears throat] damn it's humility. >> So she would introduce herself. She do. then they'd pray. >> But then I would notice there'd be some. granny's in the prayer circle who would. throw shade at each other cuz we'd all. be praying. >> Before the prayers they just talk about. life. How are things? What's happening? What's Hey. And then they'd be like, "Hey,

They pray normally then they would just. be like and but you know just heavenly. father can we also just pray for. Eugene's mom. >> you know for the tough time she's had. with her son and not not all of us can. have a perfect son Lord and we just want. to pray and say. >> that you know we ask you to give her. guidance and power Lord so that she can. try her best Lord try her best and let. the rest of us be grateful that we don't. have a son like Eugene [laughter] and. bro them and I Now I'm there like cuz I.

You were in. there nicely. >> Yeah. >> All of it was stitched beautifully. had. enough of a a border so you know like. you could flick you know the border. where the the stitching was. Yeah. Cuz. the cheaper ones the stitching just goes. into the edge of this pom pom. >> Yeah. Because it wasn't leather. It was. pleather. >> Yeah. So her one had a full border of. leather. >> piping they call it. >> my man. Yeah. The piping. And when you. when you'd hit that thing. >> it had the most satisfying. And then I.

I was a pump POM SNOB. >> IF YOU ASKED me to do it with like the. wrong tool, I'd be like, "This is not. >> That is so [laughter] funny.". >> I was like, "Bro, no.". >> You know, it's so funny. It's like, you. know, you know how you have like guitar. shops and all of that? I feel like you. could have opened his open shop. >> Yeah. I could have been that guy. >> Your brother's a full-on snob when it. comes to that, >> guys. Full on snob. >> So, you'd go and then you'd be like, "A.

Actually, it was the same. >> Why didn't Yeah, but you you drove it. >> My grand's pom pom never cracked. >> Why didn't Why did taxi never have a. headrest on the other passenger seats? >> What What head are you resting?

>> Oh. Oh, flip. No, but they No, they took. that out though. >> It comes with a headrest. They took. those out. Yeah, they used to come with. they cut you buy the car and then you. gut it. >> No, the way So, how it came is like we. made our own version of it. >> Yes. >> But they came with headrests and I think. they still even do and then they you. just take that thing out for like a. bunch of reasons. First of all, headrests are not facilitating people. passing money through. >> Yeah, it's easier to pass the money. >> Your whole It's not a head continental.

[music]. >> Did you find out what the what the story. is behind the shoes? >> Yeah, I did. >> Tell us what is it? It's the violence of. the impact. It uh really hurts the human. body. So that's the force. >> This guy just said it's the violence of. the impact. >> But I said that I did say but there must. be but. >> guys remember there must be.

>> something about No, but okay. But okay, let me let me elaborate on what I meant. Let's go further. >> The reason I'm saying that is because. >> the the thing So the reason. >> No, you must read it. for you. >> No, but the reason I'm saying that is. because. >> maybe this is why it makes sense to me. >> Shoes are one of the only things that. you wear that only come onto your body. from one side if. >> even those would come off in an. accident. [laughter]. >> That's how babies are made.

>> I'm willing to bet. >> by accident. >> I'm willing to bet [laughter]. I'm willing to bet. Where's your shirt? It has your head, both arms, and your. torso holding it down. >> Your pants have both legs holding it. You get what I'm saying? >> So, it's I'm just saying it's a lot. harder. >> Shoes are the only thing where. Think of like a passionate night where. two people are and you're trying to get. into shoes come off like that, but. everything else is like, here we go. >> Uhhuh.

>> Yeah. >> You can kick off your shoes. There's. even the phrase, "Yo, kick off your. shoes.". >> Yeah. >> You can kick off your shoes. You can't. You can't There's nothing else you can. kick You can't kick off your pants. You. got there's nothing. >> Cuz apparently paramedics when they. reach a scene and they find your toes. sticking out, they're like, "Wait, really? >> What do you mean?". >> Yeah, cuz there's no ways your shoes. If. an impact takes off your shoes, >> you're not there as a proxy for. >> Interesting. >> Yes. >> Read it. Read it. [laughter] Read it. Read it on your mic. >> These come off during severe accidents. because extreme physical forces, sudden.

stopping, and violent body movements. overcome the hold of the footwear. >> So, this makes complete sense. You know. why? Because if I think about it as. well. >> Thank you, Simi. >> And one of the times when I would also. lose my shoes the most is if I try. spansula dancing. [laughter]. >> Read all the descriptions there. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Violent movements. Say them again. >> Extreme physical forces. >> Wait, wait. I'll show you. I'll show on. each one. Extreme physical forces. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Silent stopping. >> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] And.

>> and violent body movements. >> [laughter]. >> Yeah. Okay. >> You You laugh, but you know what? To. help people who watch this, you must put. on a little sponta video under me while. I'm talking and you must show the feet. and everything so people can see the. violent stops, the violent stopping. sudden sudden movements. >> and the [laughter]. >> Yeah. If if your shoes are off, it's.

chai time for you. Does a does a funeral. when you're at a funeral does it make. you start thinking about your life. >> like cuz you've been to a lot of. funerals I feel like. >> yeah like it's so funny like literally. over the last few years it's like I. never went to funerals. >> and then. >> and then it's just funerals so I it's so. funny for me it doesn't make me think. about my own mortality. >> I just think about the person who I'm. I'm like oh wow like I I can't be with. this person anymore. >> That's beautiful. Uh but I maybe I don't.

think about mortality because I'm like. guys. why. I mean it's all going to happen at some. point, right? >> And I kind of but also partly I think. I've said this before partly maybe maybe. the reason I don't think about it. anymore is because I thought I was going. to die young, right? And then and then. now I've gone past that age where I. thought I was going to die. I was like. ah okay. >> What limit did you give yourself? What? I gave myself a limit of 41.

>> Really? You thought by 41 there would be. curtains. >> Yes. Because my father died young at 26. My grandfather died at 41. And I was. like, "Okay, >> I think that. >> you had no record of. Yes. And then I was like. >> in your family there's no pictures of. old people.". >> No, no. From my from my dad's side. >> Yeah. There's no old people. >> Yeah. That Yeah. No old people. And so. we have when. your ancestor looked younger than you. currently. You have Nivea. >> Yeah. And it's male figures.

>> Yeah. That's what I'm saying. When. people are like, "Oh, that's my. grandfather." YOU'RE LIKE, "YEAH, [laughter]. NIGGA." I was 26 going, >> "Damn, bro.". >> Then people look at you like you've had. a hard life. >> They like, "No, I've lived twice their. age." Yeah, >> that's crazy. >> Which was which was insane. And then I. was like, "Yeah, I think." But then what. I found interesting was that I remember. reading like a Bill Clinton's. autobiography and Bill Clinton wrote and. I remember like, "God damn, I have the. same fear." Cuz his grandfather died. young, his father died young, and he. thought I was going to die young.

>> That's why he lived like it was his last. day. [laughter]. >> And he did in the Oval Office. >> And uh Winston Churchill, [laughter]. same thing. He also thought I was going. to die young. >> I reserve my right to not incriminate. myself. depends what. >> guys what do you call again 35th. amendment [laughter]. numbing guys and it up and it. up forget [laughter] but my my my my. best Bill Clinton quote is when he was.

being I think he had to deposition that. yeah that's what it was and and and then. someone asked him a question and Bill. Clinton said it depends on what a. definition of the word is is. [laughter]. >> as a gangster that guy. >> And I was like, I've never heard. anybody. >> You know, if I borrow Eugene's brain for. that, I'll say that is a person who has. had a long life of infidelity.

[laughter]. If I think of like how Eugene would. think of it cuz I'm like that's a person. who's like SO WHEN YOU SAY WHEN you say. were were you were you what were word do. you mean [laughter]. when you say were. >> when you say who is she what do you mean. by she. >> what does the word she. >> do you mean who who is she is she as a. person [laughter]. who is she to her family. >> who is she. >> that's what that sounds like to me so. what's beyond you live your whole life.

thinking 45 that's it. >> then what's beyond 45 I mean 41 what's. beyond that. >> beyond that what do you replace that. >> then I it's like it's confusion. >> oh. >> because you I suppose cuz you'd set this. limit I think for yourself and so uh for. example where I was like I'm not going. to have kids because I'm going to die. young right. >> and then I'm not going to get married. because I'm going to die young right. >> and then now all of a sudden those. things are like god damn I'm not dead so.

I have to rethink what I'm going to do. You do with my life. >> and every loan you've taken out if you. were sure [laughter] you were leaving. [screaming] K was a big boss out there. Put it on my loan account. >> Is it 36 months? K was LIKE. >> PUT IT ON. K [laughter] was like I'm. Audi. K was like, "How many months did you. pay?" Yeah. >> 24 month contract. I got it. [laughter]. >> And now And now K's there like So guys, let me show you a [laughter] picture of. my grandfather. So this is my.

grandfather. >> I know what you're thinking. I know what. you're thinking. [laughter]. I was only using sunlight bar. So. I actually didn't know that. [clears throat] So So a lot of how you. planned or how you were living your life. >> is because you assumed. >> is that I mean not why you're so. outgoing and so like gregarious, but. >> damn Sam Gregaras. He is though. >> Oh. Oh, that's okay. Before. [laughter]. we carry on cuz I want to put gregarious. over your head now as you speaking.

[laughter]. >> Gregarious is an adjective that means. fond of company, sociable or tending to. live in groups. >> Does not not describe you perfectly. >> That does describe me well. >> Perfectly. >> Wow. Yeah. Yeah. >> But but. >> cuz I confuse ggeras and verbose. Yeah, [laughter]. >> we're both leaving. [laughter].

>> The the unnecessary use of additional. words and phrases. [laughter]. >> What is what is it? This. >> Hey, >> verbose means mean means [laughter]. using or containing more words than are. needed. >> Okay, scratch that one. Gregarious. Yeah, >> that's funny. No, but was [laughter]. that like. >> because you you you know more people. than anyone I know? May maybe maybe. Lawrence. Maybe, but I still think you. know more. >> I've never been out to lunch, dinner, or.

in public with Kaya and not had Kaya. greeted by somebody. >> Yeah. >> In a very familiar way. >> Mhm. >> Like genuinely. I remember once we were. with somebody who's not from South. Africa and they asked us, someone in our. friend group, but they said they were. like, "Is he is he like is he like the. mayor or something?" What does he do? [laughter] Like is he is he like is he? >> Cuz everywhere you go, you don't you. don't sit down at a restaurant. >> I would say it takes 5 to 10 minutes for. you to sit down when you go to a. restaurant. Yeah.

>> I would hate to be his partner. It's. terrible. >> Yeah. >> Because you you get there and then. before you sit, OH TABLE. OH, TABLE. OH, TABLE. You know, like in the Godfather. Yeah. That's how Ka is. >> Damn. He kills babies and everything. >> Everything, bro. Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]. >> No. No. But it's it's I don't know. It's. like a but then again it's that I don't. know if it's a personality thing or. that's why but. I mean that I think that was partly the.

reason actually. Uh I think I I wrote. books in the beginning. >> because you thought you were. >> I was like I'm [clears throat] going to. I'm going to be dead. At least I've left. something behind. You know what's. actually beautiful about this funny. enough is they say and it's I know it's. a it's a platitude. >> but they always say live as if you are. going to die. and people always like yeah of course. we're going to it's like no no no. everyone goes like oh you're going to. die but people don't actually live as if. they are going to die and it's. interesting that you now say that.

because it's like you were living like. you were going to die so you're like let. me write books. >> so that I've left something and I've. told my stories and I've like you know. family and our histories and our lives. You know what I mean? It's like this. whole vibe. >> So now what's what's changed as Eugene. says now that you've you've ticked the. it like I said. >> now that the odometer you saw that it. can go further. >> like it go further. It's like ah. >> it went to 9999 then it kicked back then. you're like how back to zero. >> I know. I [laughter] was like yeah 2000. Yeah. >> Can I tell you like it's Yeah, you're.

right. It's it's been it was for maybe a. solid four years where I was a bit. [snorts] where I couldn't find or place. myself properly because I was. >> uh but I I didn't figure that out yet. And I think when when the penny dropped, I was at flip. It's because I thought I. was going to die. This is why my life. just feels like all over the place. And. I haven't really defined the the second. stage of my life because what I thought.

I was going to happen hasn't happened. And so how do I plan my life now? Because I need to plan my life. And it's. almost like I'm starting from zero. And. that's what I I that's what's happening. now. And I can see that evolution. And I. think I can I can feel it in myself. And. it's and I feel a little bit different I. think because of that. >> Does it bring you relief or does it. bring you discomfort? It's Oh, that is a very good question. I. think that actually it gives it's it's a. it's a bit of both. And I like the.

discomfort of wanting to try new things, you know, um things that I mean, for. example, there's a thing that I've. always said to myself, which is like the. one thing I know I'll never ever be able. to do is to start a business. It's like. I don't think that I have the capacity. for it. I don't think I have the the uh. the the the you know the mental aptitude. for it. But now I'm actually seriously. considering like you know doing. something like in that sign you know a. business that I'd love to you know to to.

be involved in and starting which is. completely different from anything I've. ever done in my life. >> like completely outside. >> I love that for you. I will say one. thing. [clears throat]. >> If there's one thing that will kill you. it's starting a business. [laughter]. I'm just going to tell you as your. friend like Yes. >> That man. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Death [clears throat] is such a an. interesting Eugene and I were were. hanging with my mom yesterday. >> and it was so funny. She was so annoyed. So my mom was devastated and I mean.

devastated at the news of Dolly Parton's. passing. >> Oh yes. >> My mom, she sort of lives in a time. capsule. There's. the life she lived before finding Christ. >> and then there's her life in Christ. >> That period is almost like stasis. because it's like the Bible doesn't. change, the scripture doesn't change, you know, and she's comfortable in that. world. But then there's this world that. she still loves and fondly remembers and.

all of that. So that's when she was. listening to secular music and she was. like part of the world and all. >> Those things hold a special place in her. heart. >> Bro, let me tell you something. People. have died and my mom won't be like, "Oh, I heard whoever passed away." "Oh, I'm I. can't believe it. I can't believe it.". >> Yeah, those vibes. Those guys, you took it there. [laughter] Let me. tell you something. Let me tell you. something. You shot too high. [laughter]. You didn't even start here.

You went straight to [laughter]. dude. Not nothing. >> She was shaken. >> Like shaking. Shaken. Uh she I can't. believe it. I get it. I get it. >> Yeah. She was shaken. And I've tried to. break it down to understand why. And I. think it's a few reasons cuz I was. talking to her about it and I was like I. think she was shaken for. let me go. I go I think she was shaken. by Dolly Parton's passing. One because. Dolly Parton defined an era of my mom's.

life, right? And you know when an artist. defines an era of your life. >> when they die it sort of makes you feel. like that era of your life has died as. well. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know. >> um I think her dying also shook my mom a. little bit because I guess. >> she saw her as a peer in age in a way. So she's like. >> she's an icon as well. Yeah. >> Yeah. No, but there's before that it's. like just like this is like the person. I'm in line with. Yeah. Then there's the. icon of like, oh my goodness, Dolly. Parton because some people seem so.

larger than life. It's almost like the. idea of them. >> Dolly Parton becomes ephemeral as. opposed to concrete. >> Yes. >> Dolly Parton is an idea. Dolly Parton. No one's even like, "Where is she right. now?" She Dolly Parton. >> That's true. >> Then when you go, she's dead. It's like, wait, what do you mean? What do you mean. she? >> I didn't even know she was like alive. I. thought she was just [laughter]. existing. Yeah. M. >> fully shaken. That's actually a good. description. >> So now I'm on my way to pick up my mom, you know, on Sunday. We're going to go. get lunch. The usual thing.

>> And now I'm like, "Oh man, Dolly. Parton." And cuz I saw the email my mom. sent me in the morning. And I was like, "Oh, let me like play Dolly Parton's. greatest hits." And and cuz that's my. childhood. So now I'm I'm in the car. Oh, having the time of my life, busy. there, singing there, enjoying myself, you know. Get to uh my mom's place. She. gets in the car. She's like, she's like, "The meal, turn it off. Turn it off.". Uhuh. [clears throat] She's dead. Then. I'm like, "What? Yeah, that's why I'm.

playing the music." She's like, "No, no, no, no.". And I've never genuinely She's not like. that kind of She's like, "No, no, please. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Play. um um uh uh play play I I I called to. say I love you. Please just called. >> I just called." Then I was like, "Who?". who um cuz the title didn't come to my. mind immediately. >> Yeah. And then I was like who? She's. like uh the the the blind guy, man. The. blind guy. >> I was like, "Oh, Stevie Wonder." She's. like, "Yeah, yeah." And I was like,

"Damn, she's like shaken." And then. during the day we talked about it. and it's. my mom is like one person, but I also. started seeing like. the impact that Dolly Parton had on. people's lives. and people's lives that I don't think. anyone could have ever predicted. I can. see Dolly Parton, a country superstar, having an impact on many parts of. America's lives.

>> I can see Dolly Parton, an American, having an impact on many parts of. American lives, you know, regardless of. where they live, etc., etc. Brah, I I really hope Dolly Parton knew. that in random parts of Africa and I'm. sure other parts of the world, >> there were black people going, "You are. my person.". >> Yeah, that's very true. >> Not just because of your music, not just. because of your message, but even in the. way she lived after that. She lived her. life.

>> She lived amazing. >> Yeah. But and how she lived it. >> The the fights that she fought, >> the sides of history she chose to be on. >> the You get what I'm saying? when. everything about where she came from her. to behave a very particular way being. apologetic as well being apologetic. You're right about it. Sorry. Incidentally, when he said that. >> uh your mom asked you to play I just. called. >> to say I love you. Do you know why that. song was written? >> No. >> No. >> He wrote Stevie Wonder wrote that song.

as to Madiva while he was in prison. >> That song to Nelson Mandela? >> Yes. I just call to say I love you. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. >> Yes. >> Stevie Wonder. >> Stevie Wonder. >> wrote that song. >> It's dedicated to Madiva. >> to Nelson Mandela. >> Nelson Mandela.

Dolly Parton is blasting in the. background. That's my association. >> with Dolly Partoning. Every single. Saturday, >> we're playing Dolly Parton and that was. happening. >> You guys don't you or is it just me?

>> No, no, no. So it's Yeah. No, no, no. Funny enough, for my. >> maybe just because of age thing or where. we were playing it, >> Dolly Parton was the music my mom played. for me. That was her music. My sto. cleaning sweeping music was all like. Boys to Men, Mariah Carey. >> Yeah. Them them too. >> Yeah. Yeah. But what I'm saying is like. Dolly Parton for some reason was never. played like around cleaning time. >> I was always there by the stupid. literally in my head was just like we. belong together. I know. And you know.

[laughter]. >> That's a perfect That's a perfect. feeling song actually. So she but you. see Mina caught already story at the end.

when you caught her. >> at the beginning when she was telling. you and then at the end oh at the end. man she it was so funny. >> cuz Mina was there ka participating like. we all sad that Dolly died so that my. mom she like flips immediately she goes. from like mourning the loss the whole. thing and then she's like yo by the way. she's like did you see that she planned. her whole funeral. >> and like rehearsed it and I was like. what are you talking about? She's like, "Yeah, she saw this thing where planned. it, rehearsed it, told everyone what. it's going to be, how she's going to. dress, whatever. She's want to be buried. in high heels, whatever." Then I was. like, "Oh, that's cool." Then my mom was.

like, "No." She's like, "What? Control. freak." [laughter]. >> Yeah, that's very sad. >> Yeah. Me and Eugene are both like, "Oh.". Then my mom was like, "Hey, control. freak." [laughter]. SHE'S LIKE, "YOU'RE GONE. WHY DO YOU. CARE WHAT shoes you're wearing?" Ah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're gone. What are you talking about? Then I was. like, "Mom, that's you can say." And. then the only the only way I can get her. to like at least see a point of view is. I'll go like, "Okay, in the Bible, how. many people made requests before they. died about what they would like to. happen after they were dead?" And then.

she was like, "Yeah, yeah, okay.". >> Were the people that did that? >> All the time. All the time in the Bible. All the time. >> Yeah. >> All the time. >> There's so many of them. >> Once I'm gone, you must do this. You. must do then you must go to where and do. that. Or I want to be buried like this. Um I mean like Moses was one was like. bury me on a mountain without my things. and my this and my that. King David had. his request as well. Bury me like this. and the thing must do that in my. >> Oh what is it? Yeah. Peter said he um.

bury me like what is it? When they. crucify him it should be upside down. >> Yeah. >> Oh and then there was um Tupac said. >> the holes that I used to know from long. ago kiss me from my head to my toe. >> That's similar but not the same. [laughter]. But he said it. >> But no, it's it's it's so then she was. like, "Okay, yeah." She's like, "Okay, >> I get it.". >> So wait, >> cuz she was also mentioning people are. doing final holidays.

Now people when they know that they're. going to die. >> Yeah. >> They plan their death, they're going to. get that injection. It's funny. She was. actually talking my mom was talking. about you. Oh, damn. >> She was talking about you without. realizing it. She was saying. >> she's fascinated by people who like pre. like live the last years of their life. but like knowing they're going to die or. either like planning their death or. whatever, you know, but they go, >> I'm going to die, so I'm this is my last. big trip and this is my last I'm. throwing a big party and throwing a this. and throwing a that, you know what I.

mean? >> Pay your baba in advance. >> Yeah. >> And then but then we were having a. discussion. We're like [clears throat]. >> maybe it's because we've never had the. luxury, >> but we don't know of any like black. people doing that ever. >> Yeah. I can't I can't think of anybody. unless you are state president. >> But that's what I mean. Like we couldn't. think of anyone saying, >> "Yeah, we're going. It's our last family. trip because grandpa's going soon.". People like going where? >> Yeah, but when your grandmother stops. drinking tab. >> That's funny.

>> That's when you know. coke straight. >> Just so funny. Like I [laughter]. remember like you know like in 2014 from. the World Cup in Brazil my grandmother. you know from my dad's side you know she. was getting sick and and you know she. was being hospitalized and you could see. it just like the last few days and I. remember thinking. >> this woman better not die before I go to. Brazil for the World Cup. >> to God she [laughter] held on. >> cuz she was also there like I want to. watch the World Cup. [laughter].

So and then I was like held on she held. on. I'm in Brazil and I'm like, "Hey, if. I get any message from home, does this. mean that I have to, you know, cut my. ship, my trip short and then to fly back. home." She hung on for another two weeks. and then, you know, I got back, World. Cup was over. And I was like, "Well. done, Grant.". >> Yeah, >> that's [laughter] a goal who loves you. >> Your grand. I'm betting your grandmother would love. would love you so much that she would. hold on for you knowing that. >> Your grand also held on.

>> I think she did. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I told you that story. I think I did. Right. >> Remind me. >> where I came I came back to visit one of. my trips. >> Oh, yes. >> Yeah. And she was like, "Trevor's here.". And my mom was like, "Tre's not here. He's in New York." And she was like, "Nope, Trevor's here.". >> And then I was here. I hadn't told. anyone. It was supposed to be surprised. I went to see her. She was there. And. then she said, "You came to say. goodbye." Then I was like, "Goodbye. Come say hello." I just walked in the. door. I thought it was like dementia or. something, which she didn't have. I was. like, "No, hello. I came to say hello.". Like, "Oh, no. Oh, I thought I wasn't. going to see you before I leave." Then I. was like, "What are you?" But she was. like very casual about it then. And I.

and my grand used to joke a lot so I. didn't assume there wasn't a heaviness. around it. >> but yeah and then I left and then after. that week maybe like a few maybe a month. later. >> possibly possibly in her sleep. >> I remember that. >> she was just like yeah my nose is. moisturized [laughter]. and she knew. [laughter]. >> [laughter].

As I was saying, [laughter]. >> what do you But really, what are you So. tell me some OF THE THINGS. >> [laughter]. >> TELL ME SOME OF THE things you. >> didn't even allow yourself the luxury of. considering. >> that you now are considering and you're.

going like actually because I was afraid. I wasn't going to be here. I didn't even. allow myself the possibility of thinking. about it. >> but now I am. Now I'm What are you. entertaining that you didn't because you. thought you couldn't before? >> Being married. Love it. Um. I know it's so funny cuz sometimes I. think I was like well I'm a bit old D. Do I want to have kids? And then I think. I mean my father died when I was 26. >> You know he was young and had kids. >> you know you could die. >> Yes. >> There's no there's no there's there's.

Now I get it. >> Can I? >> Guy was like, "Hey guys, I can't. respond. I might be dying, guys. [laughter]. I might be dying. These blue ticks are. not what you think. It's the blue ticks. of death, boys. [laughter]. >> Respond. You know, time is done. Timely. death using calendars. Chinese calendar.

[laughter]. Then there was the Inca one. Oh, yeah. [laughter] Yes. But it's so funny like I. you just actually reminded me like. [laughter]. I don't know. You're calling me I think. I think you Ryan. I don't know who else. was in the car. I don't know what you're. calling me about. And then the. conversation ended, whatever. And then. you call me like like 30 seconds later. or a minute later and like, yo, the conversation wasn't done. Like, how.

are you ending conversations like that? So, what Kai what Ka does is he. >> like a sitcom. >> He he he you'll be talking. >> Yeah. When you get to the end of a point. or an idea, >> he then just automatically assumes. that's the end of the conversation and. then he stops. >> Terrible sper, [laughter]. >> my friend. >> Wait, wait. >> So you'll be like, >> "Okay, let's do a conversation. I'll. show you. Let's go." [clears throat].

That's how K does it. >> Wait, how do you determine when it's. over? K. I I I. just think it's over. I [laughter] I. don't have I don't I I don't have like a. thing, but I just there's a moment ah I. think this conversation's over. And it's. so funny because it's something I'd been.

told before that I end conversations. awkwardly and then for a while, okay, I. need to be conscious actually of how I. end conversations now cuz I know I've. got to wait for that. Okay, bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Okay, bye. >> And you possibly come on top of all of. these things because [laughter]. >> we've never said goodbye like one time. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's true. And then. >> you said goodbye to my mom how many. times yesterday? >> That's true. >> Six, seven times. >> Wait, wait. At the house? >> All over. >> We said goodbye in the car. Yeah. >> Then we said then we got out of the car.

and said goodbye. Then we walked her to. the gate. Then we said goodbye. Then we. walked her in the house. Then we said. goodbye. Then she said, "Wait, can you. just come with me to do something?" Then. we went with her. Then we went, we did. things. Did things then we came back. Then said goodbye in the car again. Then. said goodbye when we got out the car.

thing that person said. >> There's always a thing. Yeah. We were having a conversation. He was. telling me, "Yeah, I know. I should have. known. I should have read the sign." So, Kai was like, "You will never quote me.". [laughter]. What was the last thing that. [laughter]. >> K's like, "You'll never quote me.". >> Damn. Yeah.
