-You had a high school sketch show?
-I had a high school sketch show, yes,
in Livingston, New Jersey.
I've never had that -- no one said anything.
[ Laughter ]
I mean, I could say --
I've been to places where I could say anything.
You can say you're from anywhere.
Someone is like, "I'll support that."
[ Laughter ]
Everyone here, I mean, that's like "Sopranos" country.
No one? No one?
All right, well, I went to high school
in Livingston, New Jersey, and I did this --
[ Light applause ]
Now I get it. [ Laughter ]
I don't want it. [ Laughter ]
And I had a sketch show
where I would go around and do Tom Green type stuff.
-Oh, so you would film stuff?
-I would film stuff, and it would, like, be me,
man on the street with teachers being like,
"You don't really know
what this chemistry experiment is gonna do."
And it'd be like, "Haha."
But then -- then it got a little --
Then they took it away from me, like most things in my life.
[ Laughter ]
Because I started, like, TMZ-style running up on teachers
during their private life. [ Laughter ]
So, oh, man, what's the statute of limitations on this thing?
[ Laughter ]
-So what would be an example?
-Like, I would see a teacher.
I would wait for a teacher to get off of work.
[ Laughs ]
This is definitely illegal. [ Laughter ]
I would wait for a teacher to get off work.
And then I would follow them through their daily errands.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -'Cause work only ends at 2:30.
And as a kid, you're like,
"That's so -- you know, school's over."
You're like, "That's so late."
As an adult, you're like, "2:30?
I'm gonna be up until 2:30 in the morning."
[ Laughter ]
So they would go start their errands.
And they'd stop at an ATM,
and I'd run up with a nerdy camera crew
with a fat kid with a camera.
I'd be like, "Let's go, John!"
[ Laughter ]
We'd roll up to them at the ATM.
And I'd be like, "How much money are you taking out?"
[ Laughter ]
And they'd be like, "Aah! Hit him!"
And I'd be like, "Caught!"
And that ended very quickly.
[ Laughter ]
-You did try to get -- This was shot in Atlanta.
-Yes.
-So, obviously, you're shooting in Atlanta.
You're staying at Champaign.
But you tried to get everything else very authentic.
-Yes, one of the things that we wanted to do,
especially doing a show on hip-hop, is, you know,
I love it and the culture, and I don't want to make fun of it.
It's an homage.
So in order to do that, we want to be really honest.
And we went during preproduction
to meet this very prominent figure in the style community
of hip-hop, this guy ASAP Bari.
Shout-out, ASAP, shout-out ASAP Yams,
shout-out A$AP Rocky, shout-out to the whole Cozy Boyz crew.
[ Laughter ]
Anyways, so we met ASAP Bari.
And he's doing a popup for his brand Vlone,
which is very -- a big deal.
And he was like, "You guys want to come back
and sit in the back with me?"
And we were like, "Oh, yes. Definitely."
We were very scared. [ Laughter ]
And so we -- me and Sam went in the back.
And everyone's drinking and kind of smoking weed.
It's very chill. Chill vibe, you know.
And ASAP's like, you know, a very laid-back persona.
So, I asked him, like, "Hey, I'm a big fan.
I'd love to take a picture."
And he stared at me
as if he had fallen asleep with his eyes open.
[ Laughter ]
I was like, "That's cool. Don't worry about it."
[ Laughter ]
And so then this kid, this young kid burst in the door.
And he was like, "Can I have a word with Bari?"
And a hush came over the room
'cause everyone's like, "Oh, I don't want -- you know --"
And Bari's looking over.
He's like, "Yes, send him over."
And I was like, "Oh, my God. What is gonna happen?"
You know, the tension was so high.
I was also extremely stoned, so it could not --
[ Laughter ]
This also could have not happened at all.
[ Laughter ]
So the kid walks over.
And he's got this giant duffel bag with him.
And he opens the duffel bag.
And he goes, "Uh, ASAP,
I'm a huge fan of Vlone, your clothing.
And I dropped out of college a couple weeks ago
because I wanted to pursue my passion of making clothes.
And so this is my major design."
He takes out of the bag a kimono
with down in it made of vintage rock band T-shirts.
When I tell you it looked insane --
[ Laughter ]
It looked insane.
So he pulls it out, and everyone's like, "Oh, boy."
[ Laughter ]
And everyone's making eye contact around.
And then Bari's like, "Uh, give me that jacket."
And everyone's like, "Oh, my God. Okay."
And so Bari takes the jacket and puts the jacket on.
He sits there, and he's looking around.
He's like, "What you all think?"
And, you know, it looks horrendous, you know?
[ Laughter ]
No one in their right mind -- I wanted to be like, "As a joke?"
[ Laughter ]
"As a joke, yeah, dude."
But I just -- I was just like, "Uh..."
And then he looks at Sam.
My relationship with Sam Richardson
is that I don't know what I'm doing
and he'll handle it.
So I looked over at Sam, being like, "He'll handle it."
When I tell you it looked like he had seen a ghost --
He was like -- [ Laughter ]
I think he was hoping if he didn't move,
Bari wouldn't see him. -Yeah, sure.
-Like a raptor or something.
It was like that scene in "Jurassic Park."
And then finally, thank God, out of the back of the room,
unidentifiable -- you couldn't even hear --
you couldn't place a face to the voice, just goes,
"I think it's dope."
[ Laughter ]
And Bari goes, "Yeah, yeah. I think it's dope, too."
And then, instantly, the entire room is like, "Yo, that is fly.
That is dope. Yo, where can I get one of those kimonos?"
And so, Sam and I laughed about it.
We were like, "That was crazy. That was crazy. That was crazy.
I'll never wear one of those kimonos."
And then two weeks ago, I was on Instagram.
And Playboi Carti, who's a famous rapper, was like,
"Yo, shout-out ASAP Bari, for giving me this kimono."
[ Laughter and applause ]
-You're learning. -I'm learning.
-You're learning. -I'm learning how it goes, yeah.
-Congrats on the show. -Thank you.
-It's fantastic. I can't wait to watch more.
