Summary

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome BET host, digital media personality, and all-around defender of the culture Mouse Jones to the Upper West Side! In Part 1 of this 2-episode podcast, Mouse discusses his upbringing on Long Island, how his step father became more indispensable than his own blood relatives, his work and opinions as a sweeper boy at the local barber shop, how he got involved with the streets as a lone wolf, his early dreams of journalism and a college career at Howard University, why he gave up on high school, how he found out he was a teenage father, how his cousin duped him into joining the Navy, how he almost bombed out of boot camp, how he shaped up and shipped out, bought into watching the backs of his peers and the wishes of his commanders, was honorably discharged, found himself living in Virginia, cutting hair and cutting up, and why exactly he thought he'd never make it out of there alive... Tune in on Thursday for the amazing second part of Mouse's journey! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hey, Jeff. Hey, Eric. How are you? I'm pretty good. How are you? Doing well, thank you. We are

0:03.7

almost 200 episodes into this podcast run. Almost. Congratulations to us, almost. Almost. Yeah,

0:10.7

Edward James almost. That would be a good AKA. Yeah. Keep that in the stash. All right. But why do we

0:15.8

keep doing this, Jeff? Uh, an obligation to our national state of well-being? No.

0:20.8

Okay. No, it's because, as you know, we have not gotten A.J. Calloway on the podcast. I mean, that is the dream. When A.J. comes on the podcast. Then we end it. It's over. We did this whole experiment. We go out in a blaze of glory, just us and one half of the... 106 and power duo. The golden era of 106 and Park.

0:39.4

So I don't know about you, Jeff, but I can't get out of my head after we do episodes

0:44.7

when I can't land a joke, when I don't tell a story, when I really wish that I asked a certain

0:49.4

question.

0:49.9

You mean one that like you weren't able to fit into the episode?

0:53.7

Not that you weren't able to land any. No, no, correct. There are moments which I wish I could have back. Like, for instance, we did this episode of two Jews and two black dudes review the movies. I was there. Where we sat down with Stiles and Sheek and Jadicus of the Locks. Oh, the three black dudes. And we watched Trading Places, which, you guys know, stars Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd and

1:15.5

Jamie Lee Curtis and a whole lot of people.

1:17.4

And the basis of that movie, it's like the Prince and the Popper, where Dan Aykroy gets

1:23.1

thrown out on the street and someone is brought in from the street. And that is Eddie Murphy.

1:28.8

To take his place. And so he gets everything. He gets the car that is driven by a chauffeur. He gets

1:34.7

the money. He gets the job. And most importantly, he gets Dan Aykroyd's amazing townhouse.

1:41.3

Which has wood paneling and, you know, a fireplace in the foyer. Yes. A lot of amazing things that Stiles was particularly taken by. And so... Wait, by the way, before you continue, how would Manny Fresh say foyer? I don't know. Foyer! So there's a joke that I'm glad that you got off, Jeff.

2:01.9

Yeah, I would have been regretting that later. Anyway, keep going. So I hope we get Mani Fresh before we get A.J. Callaway. Foy yay. Now, you know, whenever we see A.J., we have to be like, hey, we like doing the podcast. Whenever we see A.J., what are you talking about? Jeff, if we go on a red carpet, if we go to some club, if we see him at a red light.

2:19.5

You know, when we're on a red carpet, if we go to some club,

2:18.0

if we see him at a red light. You know, when we're always hanging out with AJ, next time we see AJ. I'm just saying, yeah, the next time we see him, let's tell him, hey, you know what, we don't want you until our last episode. The only time we have seen AJ has been, one, we asked him what he does how he spends his freestyle Fridays. Correct. That was on a red carpet. Yeah.

2:35.3

Yeah. And the other time we saw him was he does how he spends his freestyle Fridays correct that was on a

2:34.5

red carpet yeah yeah and the other time we saw him was when he was exiting Santos with two girls I'm

2:38.8

saying yeah what what is so crazy about what I said it was 2009 at the club or on a red carpet
