In the latest trailer for Denial Is a River Show, the comedy project premiering Jan. 2, Zack Fox is everything Doechii has been looking for. The musician is stationed in the kitchen in the clip, gushing to her friend and Top Dawg Entertainment label mate ScHoolboy Q when she commits the cardinal sin of modern dating: finding a man that isn’t all that bad, then acknowledging his inherent goodness out loud thus giving the universe a wide open door to embarrass you.
“I mean you know how I am, I’m an alpha female so it’s different for me,” Doechii tells Q, who listens skeptically while smoking a joint. “He does everything for me. He helped me set up the house, he don’t drink, he don’t smoke. Like, he’s so good.” And as soon as the words leave her mouth, the door swings open to reveal Fox as the object of her (possibly misplaced) adoration.
The comedian doesn’t even stop to embrace Doechii before he makes a direct beeline towards Q, or more specifically his weed. “Whoa, is that zaza,” he asks, grinning like he just hit the lottery. When the rapper doesn’t pass it over to him, Fox thinks he’s kidding around. “You’re not gonna let me get some of that?” he asks. When asking gets him nowhere, he pulls out the tactics of a six-year-old kid trying to convince you that their parents usually let them have something that they see you with. “And it’s the roach, I love when it’s the roach,” he added. “And it’s, like, almost done and it tickles your lip a little.”
Meanwhile, Doechii is under the impression that Fox is just doing a bit. “He is so funny,” she tells Q. “He has a huge Twitter following. He’s very funny, online and in person.” Across the table, Q is still in his haze of smoke and Fox looks like he’s about to fall out of his chair from uncontainable giddiness about the joint he’s never hit as he makes one last ditch effort: “So, no weed?”
Doechii shared the first teaser for the Nineties-themed Denial Is a River Show last week. It’s unclear whether the show is an elaborate music video for her single of the same name, or a larger project with even more special guests. The initial trailer featured Rickey Thompson, Baby Tate, and Teezo Touchdown.
