WHAT HE WANTS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY, SINCE HE IS TURNING 18 HE WANTS
ALL THESE ADULT THINGS, WANTS TO GO TO R RATED MOVIE, HE WANTED
AN ADULT TOY, I'M HOPING HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
AN WE'RE GOING TO TAKE HIM TO EYE MOVIE, WE RENTED OUT A
THEATRE AND WILL TAKE HIM TO SEE MORTAL KOMBAT.
>> James: TELL ME ABOUT THESE SNEAKER, I KNOW THEY WERE
DESIGNED AS A TRIBUTE TO YOUR SON.
>> THEY R A COLLABORATION WITH PUMA AND FOOT LOCKER REACHED OUT

MY WHOLE LIFE AS A COMEDIAN, WE STAND UP,Ñ@cOT TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE SHOES,.
>> James: ABSOLUTELY.
>> IT ONLY MAKES SENSE YVMENT ONLY BASKETBALL PLAYERS AND
RAPPERS, WHY NOT ME JRS I'M ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS.
>> NOW I DO I GOT A SHOE, FOR MY SON.
HE WEARS LITTLE AIR, NOISE CANCELING HEADPHONES AND I PUT
ONE ON THE BACK TO ALWAYS REMIND ME OF HIM, A LIME GREEN COLOR OF
THOSE THAT HE LIKES TO WEAR.
YOU CAN SEE HIM COMING FROM A MILE AWAY.
YOU SEE HIM WALKING DOWN THE STREET, LOOKS LIKE HE'S TRYING
TO LAND AN AIRCRAFT AND GOT MY LITTLE NAME ON THEM AND I THINK
THAT'S SO FUN CUZ I GOT KISS TOMORROW JD BASKETBALL AND MY
NAME ON MY OWN SHOE.
>> James: THAT'S FANTASTIC.
THAT REALLY.
IS NOW A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO YOU CREATED WHAT I CALL A FRENZY ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
YOU TWEETED AND IT IS TROAMPTIONAL.
>> IS IT.
>> James: YOU TWEETED WHEN SOCIETY ADMITS OUTKAST IS BETTER
THAN THE BEATLE THEN WE CAN TRULY START HEALING.
DID YOU EXPECT THAT TWEET TO BE SO CONTROVERSIAL AND WHAT DID
YOU LEARN.
>> I'M SORPEE, I'M TAKEN BACK BY THE-- TWHEN IS READ TO ME, HOW
COULD SOMEONE BE SO YOUNG AND SO POIGNANT.
>> James: WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO WRITE THIS.
AND DO YOU GENUINELY BELIEVE THIS.
>> I BELIEVE IT, FOR ME, YES, I HUNDRED PERCENT BELIEVE IF.
WHAT PROMPTED ME TO WRITE IT WAS JUST MY LOVE OF OUTKAST.
NO HATE TO THE BEATLES.
I THINK THE BEATLES ARE A PLAIGZ.
BUT AS WE PROCEED AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I GREW UP AND
VALUE ASHTS AREN'T NECESSARILY GIVEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORT
AND I THINK OUTKAST AND THE THINGS THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE
MUSIC INDUSTRY, HOW THEY MOVED THE ENTIRE RAP INDUSTRY TO
ATLANTA, HOW THEY CHANGED RAPPING ABOUT DRUGS, RAPPING
ABOUT ART, RABBING ABOUT YOUR RIFE, AND ERICA BADU OVER YOKO
ONO ALL DAY.
AND IT LED TO THE BEST THING BECAUSE ANDRE 3,000 REACHED OUT
TO ME AND WILL SEND ME A GIVE FOR TELLING THE TRUTH.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHAT DID HE SAY, REACHED OUT HOW, ON
TWITTER.
>> NO, IT WAS THROUGH AN OWL.
>> RIGHT, HE SENT ME AN OWL.
>> HE AN MESSAGE AS ANDRE 3,000 WOULD.
I READ IT.
>> James: WHAT DID IT SAY.
>> IT SAID RON, THANK YOU.
THE GIFT IS ON ITS WAY.
I HOPE IT'S LIKE A A HON MADE FLUTE THAT DOESN'T WORK.
A WANT A NONFUNCTIONABLE FLUTE.
>> James: A NONFUNCH I BELIEVE FLUTE.
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW SHOW, SCHOP 420.
FOR ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR, EXPLAIN THE PREMISE.
>> IT IS CLASSIC CHOPPED.
HOW COULD YOU NOT BE FAMILIAR.
50 PLUS SEASONS, HI TED ALLEN, I LOVE YOU.
IS APPETIZER, ENTREES, DESSERT ROUNDS, WITH MYSTERY
INGREDIENTS.
WE CALL THEM A SECRET STASH BECAUSE THAT IS FUN FOR WEED.
AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE TO ADD IN THE TOP 420 GREEN HOUSE, SO
MANY DIFFERENT STRAINS AND PRODUCTS HAVE I NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.
AND EVERY ROUND SOMEONE GETS CHOPPED AND WE MOVE ALONG, TO
SOMEONE GETS $10,000.
AND I THINK HOW THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY WAS AFFECTED BY THE
PANDEMIC, THAT IS WHAT I WEAPTD PREPARED FOR.
I WAS PREPARED TO HAVE FUN, JOKE AROUND AND SMOKING WEED.
I WAS ALL FOR THAT BUT JUST LEARNING, LIKE FOR SOME PEEMENT
IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THEY'VE BEEN BACK IN THE KITCHEN.
SOME PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS, AND THERE IS 10,000 DOLLARS, MEANT A
LOT, SO THAT IS WHY I LOVE TALKING ABOUT IT, I LOVE THE
MOMENT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE THE CHOPPED GUY THAT SAYS
WELL, WE CAN'T USE THIS ASK.
>> James: SURE, HOW MARRED WAS IT TO CONVINCE YOU TO HOST A
CANNABIS COOKING COMPETITION.
>> IT WAS VERY EASY.
>> James: THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT.
>> IT WAS VERY EASY.
I WAS LIKE WHAT DID I DO IN THE PAST LIFE TO DESERVE THIS.
>> James: YEAH.
>> EVERYTHING THAT I WANTED IN MY LIFE IS WORKING OUT FOR ME.
NOT ONLY, IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF IT WAS JUST SOME SHOW WITH
COOKERRING BUT IT IS CHOPPED.
THAT SAY MAJOR PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE AND THEN YOU ADD IN
MARIJUANA.
IMMA BE THERE, WHY NOT.
