Chapter 4: What insights does Godfrey share about celebrity culture and space travel?
I was in a shot. I was like, oh, shit. Oh, so I just kept quiet. And I'm not trying to embarrass anybody. You want to battle? And he said, I'll even go against Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's not a real astrophysicist. He's an actor. I was like, huh? Dude, he was, if you guys, I'm a real nerd. So Carl Sagan was the original Cosmos. Carl Sagan, you know who Carl Sagan is?
Well, Carl Sagan was the, well, Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts Cosmos, but the original host of Cosmos was Carl Sagan. This white dude, dark cat. I love Carl. I grew up on Carl Sagan watching Cosmos because I was into astronomy and shit like that. And so he was Neil deGrasse Tyson's mentor and, Okay. And, you know, Neil deGrasse is from the Bronx. Yes.
And he was, when he was studying science, you know, Neil deGrasse was an all-state wrestler. He was a free... Yeah, and when I got into science, I met, you know, Carl Sagan. He gave me, like, a blessing, boom, boom. So that's how his life has been. He's a real scientist. And so he goes... Yeah, I'll debate anybody. And I said, cool. Right. This will be awesome. Yeah.
And what's funny, he says, oh, I was just doing it for clicks. I go, who isn't doing shit for clicks? Right. That's how you live. That's how you title an episode. I need clicks. That's how you get money. Right. And so he got on there. And when he said what he said before the guy got on, I go, oh, boy. So I just sat there and Dave stood his ground. Yeah. You know, and he went at him.
And Dave is also a very, how do I put it? Arrogant.
Yes.
arrogant with stipulations because what he's saying is factual but it can piss somebody off just the way he's speaking he's snarky yeah like well yeah you understand what a ball is yeah it's gravity dumbass he's gonna piss somebody somebody from new rochelle he's gonna piss off the way he speaks yeah the way he's talking yeah of course But when you're right, you're right. That's my thing.
And I'm like, you handle this. I just want to watch. I'm not trying to go back and forth. Right. You know, because I know science, but I'm not that deep in it like that. You know, but you really want to battle this flat earth shit. Because for me, I understand science. Why flat earthers have come into play. I understand because we're lied to so much just in general. Everything lies to us.
Lies about food. They lie to us about everything. So I understand when people go conspiracy theories, that's where conspiracy theories come from. Is there the presence of God? Is there such thing as a Jesus? You get it because motherfuckers lie a lot. So I understand the flat earth thing. Right. And what's funny is there's some things about Flat Earth that make sense. You go, you know what?

Chapter 5: What insights does Godfrey share about the impact of black culture?
You can do better. I really believe you can. Boost supports you, though. Boost, yeah, they're wonderful, but they're pieces of shit. I'll tell you why. What they need is a boost from me. I should call them bootleg. That's what we should call them. Which carrier would you use if you were to call in the nukes? Call in the nukes. What carrier? There are many carriers out there. I know very carriers.
There's Mariah Carey. There's Carrie the movie.
That's a good movie.
There's that one. There's so many carries.
Jim Carrey. Very good. Jim Carrey. I know all the Carreys. There's a lot of Carreys.
A lot of Carreys. Carrie Fisher. There's Carreys. So many Carreys. I know a running back that has lots of Carreys. So I'm very good at it. You're trying to trick me. That's very rude. Very rude. My vocabulary is very extensive. Who are your... We'll be talking about black comedians out there. and Living Color. Some great comics to come out of there.
But another thing about Living Color, they saved Fox though. They literally saved Fox and then they changed the whole halftime highlight thing, you know, because the halftime, they took the numbers away from halftime show. Mm-hmm. That's how big they were. So they, they changed, they changed television. They helped Fox.
And because there was a time where they say black people don't sell, which was bullshit. They, they actually do sell Tommy Davidson because Tommy Davidson had come to my college and perform. That's where I really got inspired to do comedy in my third year of college. I was like, no doubt. And I hung out with Tommy Davidson.
And then when I started doing comedy, I did a premium blend on comedy central when comedy central was actually funny. Um, And Tommy Davidson was my host, which was crazy, crazy. And he would remember me, oh, you showed me around your campus. Crazy shit. Yeah, but they saved Fox. Black people have saved, Eddie Murphy saved SNL. In Living Colors saved Fox.

Chapter 6: What are the reasons behind the tension between Africans and African Americans?
Wesley Snipes saved Marvel in 99 because I hung out with Stan Lee three times. My friend used to work for Stan Lee. And when he was 89 and I was in his office and he goes, he goes, yeah, God, let me show you a picture of you. Say Wesley Snipes there. Wesley Snipes. He saved Marvel. We were going on. We were going bankrupt if it wasn't for Wesley Snipes. Wesley Snipes saved fucking Marvel.
And we had seen another. Yeah, Blade did. Wow. Blade sold, Wesley, I remember. It was huge. And Blade 1 and 2. Then 3, they started fucking it up. Brought Ryan Reynolds in, all these, and Parker Plaza. It's getting corny now. And you never saw another Blade again. And then the Blade that was coming out, they stopped that production. 25 years later, there's no Blade, and it saved all of Marvel.
Then when Blade showed up on Deadpool, people went like, oh, my God. But black people sell. Look at what Black Panther did. It was the highest grossing Marvel film. We sell, man. You just don't want us to have anything. You got to get out of that old adage, man. We sell. You know why I know black people sell? Because you copy us all around the world. Everybody's DJing, pop locking, rapping.
Fuck you. Like black culture is the best culture on the planet. It just is.
Chapter 7: How does Godfrey describe the contributions of black comedians to entertainment?
It's not. If it was Asian culture, I'd say it. Black culture is the best because I see Asians on TikTok pop locking and DJing. I see everybody doing black shit. So it's obviously selling. Right. You know what I'm saying? So fuck, fuck your adage, get with it and just fucking let people rock. Like black people sell. Right. We're fucking cool. I listen. I like white actors.
I've been watching them all my life. Yeah. No choice. I love, I had no choice. I love Steve McQueen. Yeah. I love Charles Bronson. Yeah. Yeah. I love Clint Eastwood. I love, I love, I love. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck. Right. There's other people. Right. Why can't it be Arab actors, Indian actors? Why can't, you know, you ever see monkey man? Monkey Man. Monkey Man is fire.
It's with Dave Patel from Slumdog Millionaire. And you know the guy, the little nerdy kid? Yeah, I know who you're talking about. He made a movie called Monkey Man. Yeah, I see that. I gotta watch it.
Chapter 8: What message does Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson leave for Godfrey?
Jordan Peele produced it. He said, I'm gonna produce it. Because he was trying to get it sold. It was sort of like a John Wick, but an Indian style. It's fantastic. And he said, I'm tired of playing this stereotypical nerdy Indian dude. We know that we can do action. We can do the stuff like the white guys do. And he sort of like funded it himself. Jordan Peele produced. It is fantastic.
It's like, we don't mind seeing white actors, but the world... 7% of the world is white. 7%. Yeah. Population wise. It's you guys go by American standards. Yeah. 7% of the world is white. Seven. The rest is Brown. Where the fuck are we? What's wrong with showing us? Why is it killing you to just like, look what sinners did save the box office again. It's safe. And it's an original script.
$300, $400 million. And they tried to lie in Variety that wasn't doing well. And Ben Stiller said, why the fuck would you do that to them? Ben Stiller stood up and said, why are you doing that? Sinners is murdering. We sell, man. It's just good stories. That's all. People want to see themselves. I don't want to see white rom-coms all the time. Motherfucking black dudes are smooth as fuck.
We fuck a lot. Fuck you talking about? Most of the times you get your swag from us. That's how you talk to women. Because you're acting like us. And you get intimidated when we walk in the room. So how are you the smoothest dude here? Fuck out of here. Where are the black rom-coms? Where's everybody? That's all I'm saying. It's like, I love the rom-coms, but we... You know, 90s?
Black movies were fire. The Wood... Fucking two can play that. And then it went away. It's like, stop. It's like enough with get out of your fucking head. Nobody's trying to take over. Nobody's trying to do anything to you. We just want to win. Everybody can eat, man. But it's just these motherfuckers. He, he don't sell. What the fuck you talking about? Where have you been? Hmm.
I've been to over 40 countries and I see every country I see they're rapping. I went to, when I was in Lithuania, I did a show in Lithuania, all places. They called me out there, did a show, some little festival. And they took me to a hip hop concert. It was all Lithuanians. I was the only black dude there. I'm laughing my ass off. Cause these motherfuckers like holding a dick.
And I'm sitting there going, and it said hip hop. And I said, you guys are acting like black people. And you know what's big in Lithuania? Basketball. That's why they get a lot of ball. They were hooping in the wintertime. It was cold then. They was hooping. Full courts. And Colts shooting. They were like, oh no, basketball's like religion out here. I go, of course it is.
You're being black right now. When I'm in China, I'm in Beijing. I was like, what the fuck are we talking about? They're getting Afros. They're making their hair like ours. What do you mean we don't sell? All the K-pop girl groups are acting like black women. That's all fucking temptations. New edition. It's black. Black boy band shit. It's black steps. That's black. Yeah.
I'm just saying it is what it is. Don't say that we don't sell. Don't say that enough. I'm just saying enough with the racial slurs, enough making fun of us, enough with the black face, enough with that. We want we run rent free in people's heads. Black people are the most famous race because we run rent free in everybody's head. Yeah. Everybody's head.
