What is discussed at the start of this section?
The thoughts, views, and opinions expressed by this podcast, as well as its hosts, are for entertainment purposes only. I repeat, it is not serious. It is not real. No one is exposing, revealing, indicting, or telling you anything about themselves. Also, we do not encourage you to try this at home. We are trained professionals who do not have your best interests at heart, or our own. Enjoy the show. You gotta grab your shades. If it get bad, I'll grab my shades. But the performer in me, I'll sit right here and cry, boy.
You turn it on. Hold up now. You turn it on like a lot. You turn it on.
Don't get me jacked up. Pause. I'll sit. Oh, it's still on. The delay. What's that? Yeah, I'll sit right here and cry. That's the difference between the Mark huge and the Joe huge. I'll cry. I'll drag it all out. Mark is studious. For views. I was about to say. Huh? The performer in you. And he wants that chain back. No, that would be classless. That's classless. So crying for views ain't classless. No, faking a cry for views is nasty. I'm saying if I start crying, I'm not moving. What are you faking the cries for? I'm not rushing to a closet to cry.
Oh, yeah.
I think we all would cry up here if we felt moved.
Oh, I don't think that at all. Have you cried on television before?
Yeah.
Oh.
Right after VH1, I cried doing... Love and Hip Hop? No, it was... Basketball Wives? Black Ink Crew. Black Ink Crew reunion. What?
How they made you cry?
I did the show three days after my dad died.
Damn, Mark. Yeah, you gonna fuck us up. We can't even crack jokes on your dumb ass.
I'll set y'all up for that.
Y'all ass. Y'all more head first into that one. Come on. Come on. Can't even cry.
What happened on that episode? I was waiting for it. I was like, Dodo. Yeah, Dodo. Once he said black ink, I jacked down. All right, black ink is cool. What happened to Caesar? I didn't think, because what happened was my dad, I flew out there, because we had three reunions, so I was supposed to be there for 10 days to do three shows. Got it. And my dad died the night I got there. Oh, you cracked him. Oh, did I? You cracked him. And it was like,
Why would you say that?
He cracked him. No, he did crack him. Oh, I did. Not his dad. No, no, he cracked them VH1.
He cracked VH1 with VH1.
It was a great check.
Yeah, no, for sure.
And I was in L.A. for 10 days in the pandemic.
Did you let them know your father passed away? That's what I mean.
Also, you were just checking off boxes. So I said, my dad just passed. They said, go home. I said, no, I want to stay because there's nothing to do when somebody dies. Got a bonus check. So I just stayed there. And then I went to work that day, and I was okay right into the moment where the woman, the girl said like, yo, her mom, she was telling us about her mom dying. Oh. And she started crying a little bit and I just lost it. I just, and I don't cry on TV, but I lost it. The cast actually came over and like, hugged me and helped me. And so after Ryan and all them over at Black and Crude, they looked out, but, and then VH1 was very grateful, obviously for me. Stay in. Because I stayed and did other shows.
Nice. Financially grateful.
Very.
That's all I heard. Very.
But the lesson in that, y'all, is, like, grieve, man. You know, just grieve, yo. Take the time. Take the time, man. Don't push working. I don't ever stop working. So even, like, you know what I mean?
Cry on set. Fuck it. Yeah. There you go. Yo, lift the bottom of your shoe up. Let me see. I think yours is clean.
Ooh. Ooh. Fresh out the box. Yeah, don't lie. Act like you had it for a man long. Those are not for the 90s, boy. That's what you like to do.
Yours is new, too. Your shit old. Who, my shit old? No. His shit's a little dirtier than yours. His shit's dirty? No, yours is dirtier than his. Yeah, I wore this in Trinidad. So let me see this shit.
Ooh. Yo, bro, we're not sitting here debating on who bought them, but these sneakers is dirty. What I'm saying is that the plan is that- I'm curious to know why.
Yeah, no, here's the thing, because every time I ask about his sneakers, he says he doesn't go shopping, and he had them for a long time in that stupid-ass room of his with the boxers.
