In this clip, comedian TK Kirkland continues to discuss the controversial issue of joke stealing in the comedy industry, referencing Carlos Mencia, who was widely criticized over such accusations. Vlad discusses the infamous confrontation of Mencia by fellow comedian Joe Rogan, which turned viral and possibly led to Mencia's professional downfall. He also touches on a bitter dispute between Mencia and George Lopez over the use of a joke, which descended into a physical fight, emphasizing how seriously comedians take joke theft. TK advises other comics against resorting to violence over stolen material, stating it's not worth fighting over and urging them to come up with a new joke instead. Vlad and TK also discuss the phenomenon of joke appropriation beyond stand-up stages, citing Arsenio Hall's TV show as an example where content seems to have been borrowed from other comedians.
