166.933 - 178.426

Good guy. Yeah, I got to see the cellar. I went to the cellar years ago, and I don't think they had as many rooms as they do now, but there's like three, four rooms at the cellar. Really? When did that happen?

178.446 - 181.27 Malcolm (Maul)

I've been to the cellar probably a year ago. Yep, yep.

181.29 - 189.259

And it's not just the main one in the basement? Correct. There's like different rooms now. Apparently, they just bought a McDonald's, and they're going to make like a fifth room.

189.659 - 193.083 Malcolm (Maul)

Oh, the West 4th McDonald's, probably next to Village Underground.

What the fuck?

0

201.955 - 214.854 Malcolm (Maul)

No, I'm not making this up. That is the most iconic McDonald's. Like when that shut down, that was like pulling the Empire State Building out of New York City. That's an iconic McDonald's. That West 4th one. At least it's going to good use though.

0

214.995 - 217.999

Why would lesbians fight there of all places?

0

218.219 - 223.527 Malcolm (Maul)

You would have to talk to the lesbians. I was just there for the show. They probably just bombed at the cellar. Yeah.

223.507 - 247.945 Malcolm (Maul)

but yeah comedy stellar owns village underground which is right next to that mcdonald's which is also iconic spot outside of comedy for music the village underground is great the blue note just that whole area that like l block is iconic not just for fights but for art yeah the art of the city not the heart of the city the art of the city yeah and the most iconic basketball course right like yeah it's just a cool block

Chapter 8: How does Ron Taylor discuss the concept of the Illuminati in comedy?

247.925 - 273.797

yeah yeah i've been seeing all that stuff too like the bags i don't know maybe just this go around this trip like i said my eyes were more wide open like i saw the basketballs like oh there's probably a young kairi there right now you know i see the hot dog people and i was like i'll try a hot dog yeah yeah when i was last year i was like i ain't spending nothing yeah you're on a different budget these kids need to get the fuck out of my way playing basketball

0

297.318 - 299.201 Malcolm (Maul)

Nothing goes hand in hand like poverty and anger.

0

299.221 - 317.489

Yeah. Oh boy. It makes sense now. When you go to certain cities, like I get it. I understand why these people are upset and angry. Yeah. Like I said, Chicago, I was like, I was there with no money. I was like, yeah, I want to kill people too. No, it checks out. Everybody who look like me. Where they at? I had to get up out of there. But I'm going to go to Chicago next.

318.09 - 337.669

I've got a budget of all my bills are paid and I've got $200. Oh, life is great. Life is great. As long as your bills are paid, life is great. Yeah, you get deep dish pizza now in Chicago. Yeah, yeah. But there's the place that everybody tells you not to go in Chicago. So I would imagine...

337.649 - 361.885

new york has a place like that right not to go to chicago oh don't go there that's the tourist pizza uh who knows there's some shit like that i think it's called is the tourist deep dish one but where you were at west fourth joe's joe's is a good spot that's a good new york slice yeah john's a bleaker's one block over yeah there's real good patsy's is a little further uptown in manhattan harlem uh well not harlem uh the patsy's is harlem right technically

361.865 - 364.449 Malcolm (Maul)

Yeah. At this point. For gentrification purposes, now it is.

364.769 - 383.356

Linda Street is probably the best slice in the city right now. They're right up the block. Linden Street? Linda Street. Linda Street. Yeah. Okay. It's probably one of the best slices. Actually, yeah. Yo, Ryan, we got to make sure we get him a slice before he leaves. That'd be wonderful. Yeah. So New York, we always got a good slice.

383.376 - 405.582

But New York and Chicago, we've had this rivalry of best slices for a few years. And I still think we have the best slice, but you know. Okay. Yeah, no, the best pizza I've had, and this is just personally, I can't say. Don't say Jets. No, no, no, no. I like Jets. I love Jets pizza, though. No. For those that don't know, Ron is from Detroit. Well, I mean, apparently Detroit has great pizza.
