Take me to the river, I wanna go, I'll go. Take me to your river, I wanna go.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

I don't even know who sings that.

Donnell Rawlings (0:29)

You don't know who sings that song?

Joe Rogan (0:30)

No.

Donnell Rawlings (0:32)

Leon Bridges.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Leon Bridges.

Donnell Rawlings (0:34)

Yeah, he's like a folk country, Sega black dude.

I think he's Louisiana's where he's from. But about five years ago, he had a very popular song. That was like a song that really charted well. It was called The River.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

That was that.

Donnell Rawlings (0:50)

That was that song. And then what he does is he-

Joe Rogan (0:53)

You aware, Jamie? You know what I do?

Jamie (0:55)

I've seen him before, yeah, I don't know that I know this song.

Donnell Rawlings (0:57)

This song is like, he's had other songs, but for some reason, this song resonated with a lot of people in the country, man. It was like him reminiscing with going to a place that made him feel good, in the river.

Joe Rogan (1:09)

I hope when we go over to Spotify, we can play it.

Donnell Rawlings (1:12)

I go, I could, take me to your river. I wanna go.

Dave Chappelle (1:19)

I'll go.

Donnell Rawlings (1:22)

That's pretty much it. That's the one part everybody knows.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

It's acceptable now for people to wear like neck scarves.

Donnell Rawlings (1:30)

Are you being insulting?

Joe Rogan (1:31)

Neckerchiefs, no, not at all.

Donnell Rawlings (1:34)

It's normal.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

If you'd wore that on any other time, I'd be like, what is on your neck?

Donnell Rawlings (1:38)

And I would explain it to be a gator.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

Right.

Donnell Rawlings (1:40)

A gator.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

I know what it is. I know what a gator is.

Donnell Rawlings (1:42)

Yeah, this is what it is. It's my gator.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Yeah, you wear them when you're sneaking up on animals. Or people.

Well, that color's not, you can't sneak up on anybody.

Donnell Rawlings (1:50)

K-Pride, K-Pride.

Joe Rogan (1:52)

Well, there's a lot of colors in that. Yeah, I guess that's a rainbow. Not a traditional rainbow.

Donnell Rawlings (1:56)

This is a liberal, liberal gator.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

Liberal gator.

Donnell Rawlings (1:59)

Yep, it's accepted by anything. Gay people, black people, Hispanic people, I'm sorry.

Joe Rogan (2:04)

No worries.

Donnell Rawlings (2:05)

My baby mother asking me about weed, Jesus.

Don't you don't like me? Don't you don't like me? Why you keep blowing me up about weed? You said you don't like me.

Joe Rogan (2:14)

She likes your weed.

Donnell Rawlings (2:15)

I mean, they like something, man.

Joe Rogan (2:17)

What happened to your thumb?

Donnell Rawlings (2:19)

I got shot.

Joe Rogan (2:21)

Who shot you?

Donnell Rawlings (2:25)

That's a question I haven't found the answer to.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Really?

Donnell Rawlings (2:28)

It was, this shit happened so quick, Joe. I didn't really get a good look at a person, the person that shot me.

Not too many people around and witnessed it, but I have the wound to show that I got shot.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

What was the situation?

Donnell Rawlings (2:44)

I was, my dog, I got a new dog.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

She's adorable.

Donnell Rawlings (2:47)

Listen.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

That's as adorable as a dog gets, ladies and gentlemen. Look at that little cutie. Yo, can you see her on camera?

Donnell Rawlings (2:55)

Yo, this is my emotional support dog.

Joe Rogan (2:57)

That's Maggie?

Donnell Rawlings (2:58)

Yeah, that's Maggie.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Maggie, come here, sweetie. Come here, Maggie. Come here, honey.

She's ador- she doesn't know what coffee is. She's like, me.

Donnell Rawlings (3:04)

She don't know what weed is, but she don't know what coffee is. But I was protecting her.

Some people were trying- Joe, you wanna hear the story about how I got shot or what?

Joe Rogan (3:12)

Yeah.

Donnell Rawlings (3:13)

I was protecting her honor, right? I was protecting her from a hell of bullets. It was a gang. It was a lot of people. I don't remember all of that, but I got shot in my motherfucking thumb.

Where were you? In the streets.

Oh, just regular? Yeah, I was in the streets. I was in the streets. No, not the streets.

Joe Rogan (3:34)

The streets.

Donnell Rawlings (3:35)

I was just in the streets.

Joe Rogan (3:36)

No town.

Donnell Rawlings (3:37)

No, just the streets. And that happens sometimes, Joe. You put yourself- you're hanging in the streets. You put yourself in some unforgiving situations, that's what happened to me. And that's how I got my motherfucker thumb shot the fuck off.
