“Random thoughts really [are coming to me]. “Stick Shift” popped into my head for you, that suits you,” Lil Dicky said, turning to Jason, 36, as the athletes burst into laughter.

“Yeah,” the tight end replied. “I’m Smoov Trav.”
While Travis was in favor of the idea, Lil Dicky wasn’t entirely sold on either option, noting, “I’ll think about it, I think we could probably beat both of them.”

“There is no way to tell my life story without talking about my penis at some point. … I literally had surgery on my penis when I was a kid,” he explained. “I have had the happiest, most privileged life ever. So on one hand I’m very confident and rapper-like in my confidence, but I’m always anchored in this insecure, self-deprecating situation. And I think my penis is probably the cause of that.”
He added: “To tell my origin story as an artist, as a rapper, as a human being, I couldn’t possibly do it without spending a lot of time talking about sexual insecurity.”
While one might dismiss the name Lil Dicky as a “big cock joke,” to him it was “much more personal.” He even dedicated an episode to it Davehis FX comedy series, about his struggles and offers viewers an intimate look into his story.
“This episode is the ultimate ‘living my truth,'” he told the outlet. “I think honesty goes a long way in resonating with people. So in that moment it was easy to push to the limit and push the limits. And just use it to its full potential. I think anyone who has deep-rooted insecurities can relate to this episode.”
