I'm not saying everybody can I just realized this week that I can't yeah I can breathe on the water. Is this why they think black people can't swim is because you guys are trying to breathe under water Like are you just trying to spread the stereotype? There's gonna be so many black people that are going anguilla like now It's just something I realized Break that down because I'm in no I'm in the water right like I go in the water early in the morning I love to be in the water and looking up at the Sun, right? I like to be looking up at the Sun I feel like when I pray from the water to the Sun It's like a direct connection to God Okay, and I believe in like grounding when you take your shoes off and like you're walking around the yard You're grounding. There's no better grounding than having your feet at the bottom of the ocean and Looking up at the Sun and praying and so it was just one of those things I had like three or four run punches and I was like Why do people come up for air? So I just went down there. Okay, and I literally was just sitting there for a while and then I was just like oh Shit Mother fucker, you don't realize how many black people are gonna die You don't realize it. It's gonna happen And and it's gonna be your fault and there's good they're gonna have tweets like yo I'm gonna try that show this shit.

This is not It's not for everybody. I'm just telling you that I can breathe under water You know, I just tell you just said how long do you think you could breathe under water for I was down there for like 35 minutes What am I watching? I know I have my fucking Underwater watch on 35 minutes you're underwater watch I was down there for 35 minutes cooling like okay, like it was a thing Yeah, yeah, really people were going by snorkeling and they were just like waving. Yeah That's what's up, bro. Just letting you know fire, but are you selling any glasses that are unbreakable like I Can see on the water too. Well, yeah People are scared to do that cuz they think the salt water burns their eyes salt water don't burn my eyes Interesting salt water doesn't burn my eyes. I can breathe under water I can stay under the water for a long time and my skin don't get wrinkly. Oh, wow Maybe that's where you're supposed to be. I might be in I might be some type of amphibian amphibian merman Yeah, I might be kidding the name or I don't know can the name or name or what is that? Oh, man name or the submarine or you don't know name or no. Oh, you're not a comic book guy You know name war right Alex everybody don't know name are after Black Panther 2 comes up He's the antagonist in Black Panther 2, but how was your week? Oh Damn What's the new antagonist in Shang-Chi is it driving a car? Oh Captain Marvel movie Letting it go I Got those get into a argument with Captain Marvel Oh That shit is crazy. No, that's name on anymore. Got the Hootie daddy short so we gotta go to the water and fight him I ain't going in the water. The Submariner. Yo, fuck that. You know what's so funny? I'm out. You know what's so fucking funny about this? And I never thought about it. In Endgame, there's a scene. Remember when everybody's up there's a hologram? And the guy says, she goes, there was an earthquake. There was an earthquake underwater off the coast of Wakanda or whatever. And the young lady from the Dormelodge, they asked her what she was going to do about it. She goes, nothing. It's an earthquake underwater. We leave it alone. She didn't want no parts of it. She knew. But that was an Easter egg for Nemo. Ah. Yeah, that was an Easter egg for Nemo. And I think it was Iron Man 2. In Iron Man 2, Iron Man is looking at a map of different superheroes across the country. And you see a dot in the middle of the ocean. So that was supposed to be Atlantis because that's where Nemo, he's the king of Atlantis. Oh. You've never heard of underwater world of Atlantis? Yeah, I have. What's the deal with that? Where was Atlantis? I'm hearing all these different, like, rashes out there. It's something under there, bro. You truly believe that now it's covered by water? It makes no sense for the earth to be 75% water and something's not going on down there, bro. Oh, you think it's still there? I think it's, I believe in mermaids. I believe in mermen. I believe in Atlantis. I believe in all of that shit. You might be a mermaid, dude. I think so. I'm telling you, after what I witnessed this week, me breathing underwater? I mean, that is mermaid behavior. That is definitely mermaid behavior. Right? Identify as a mermaid. You do? Yes. And you should be able to. That's right. You don't even have to identify as it. That's right. Like, you can breathe underwater. You're a mermaid. That's right. And I came to the conclusion this week that my- Can I call you a mermaggot? Mermaggot. I came to the conclusion this week that my pronoun, we all should have pronouns, bro. Damn, bro, you ain't going to even chew that fish? You just going to swallow it on mermaggot? Yeah. Yeah. Yo, you know the wildest thing is a glizzy, bro. Why do they call hot dogs glizzy, bro? I don't know where that started, yo. Me, Niza. When I was a kid, we didn't call them glizzy. Hell no. That shit sounds disgusting. Like, glizzy gobbler. Like, that shit is brassy. It should be a slur, bro. Like, you should be able just to be out here telling people they putting glizzies in their mouth, bro. That's wild. Y'all think that's wild? A glizzy? It is wild. I don't know when it started. It's like Snoop saying gay, like, back in the day, like, gizzle. Like, you know what I'm saying? Gizzle was gay? No, but that's how Snoop would have said it back in the day. Oh, yeah, yeah. It'd have been like, you glizzle? You glizzle. You glizzle when is it? You glizzle. I can't even start. But dude, a glizzy gobbler is- A glizzy gobbler is wild. Yeah, that's crazy, bro. You're a different kind of glizzy if you- You're a different kind of glizzy gobbler? No, no. Like, why? You can't even eat a hot dog in peace without somebody saying, what you doing up with that glizzy in your mouth? Bro, there's a video. It looks like they were feeding glizzies to this special needs dude in Coney Island. Did you see the side talk video over there out in Coney Island? Oh, shit. Bro, they might have one in each hand, and they just feeding him a glizzy at the same time. That's wild, man. I thought it was crazy. I seen the video where the dude had the hot dog and the hot dog was so long it was hanging out the bun. Yeah. And he goes- And right before he bites, you hear somebody go, hey, yeah! And he stops, and he gets so fucking mad. You might as well just call him a slur, because he got so mad. He was like, yo, you gonna put that whole glizzy in your mouth? Dude was like, what the fuck? I can't just eat a glizzy in peace. My favorite one is dude sneaks up on his boy who's about to eat it, and he just goes, hey, yo, and dude just goes fucking gross. Yo! Hey, yo! This man fucked the glizzy! You fucked the glizzy! You glizzy got one? He just- He chucks that shit, man. Glizzy. Glizzy is wild. If it nobody in New York could be pausing that- Jesus Christ. Nah, that's a super pause. How was your week, though? I just wanna know how your week was, man. You know what I'm saying? No hot dogs. I didn't take any hot dogs down. Nah, my meat, my meat. My meat was good. My meat was good. Had a good meat. Yo, y'all are crazy, bruh. Y'all are fucking crazy. Where the glizzy gobbler's at, bro? Where the glizzy gobbler's at, yo. Where the glizzy gobbler's, bruh? The semen demon. Have you- Yo, this girl called herself a semen demon, bruh. What? No, man. This girl is crazy, bruh. But she like to drink semen? I guess. Yeah, yeah. That's what glizzy goblin sounds like. Yeah. Glizzy goblin sounds like somebody who likes to drink semen, bruh. That's the girl who's slurped up the suns, the phoenix suns. Do you remember that girl? No. She kind of went viral for that shit. But she would call herself the semen demon. How did somebody find out you sucked off a whole team? I think she said it. Really? Yeah. No, but she said it. She was like, yeah, yeah. But what if she didn't really suck off the whole team? What if she sucked off like four or five of them? But then it's a whole bitch that's like, we didn't get none of no head. And now they getting in trouble at home. I thought you said bitch. A whole bench. Yeah, yeah, I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a bad habit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen. Yeah. There's so much shit that happened over the week, man, that I was thinking about. And I was like, did you see the woman who was pregnant in Texas? She's 34 weeks. 34 weeks. 34 weeks. I love this. I love it too. 34 weeks. The brain is fully developed. The baby's in there chilling. You know what I'm saying? The glizzy is growing. You know what I mean? And she got pulled over by the police because she was in the Hove lane. Now, mind you, I didn't know what Hove lanes were until I moved to New York. And when I moved to New York in 2006, I thought Jay-Z had his own goddamn lane. I'm not gonna lie. I was like, yo, this guy is really the king in New York. And at first I thought that then I thought this meant where he must have got HOV from. But no, it was a short put Jay Hove. But this woman got pulled over by the police. Is that the woman? Yes. 34 weeks. Peace, bro. I mean, come on. She got her club shot up. Of course. She got a club shot? She got her club shot up. And she says, she says her unborn baby should count as a second person. If you know anything about Hove lanes, you and another person in the car for you to get through a Hove lane. What did she do wrong? Yo, because she got a ticket. She got cited for this. He starts peeking around. He's like, is it you? And I said, no, there's two of us. And he's like, well, where's the other person? And I went right here. I said, well, not trying to throw a political mix here, but with everything going on, this counts as a baby. I really don't feel like it's right because one law is saying it one way, but then another law is saying it another way. This is what I love. Okay. I love this like mental gymnastics that people are going to play now where it's just like, if it's a baby. Yes. Then that counts as another person. Yes. And you should be able to drive in the Hove lane. Simple as that. Simple. Don't tell me that that doesn't count. That's right. When you're in, when you're on the highway, but it counts everywhere else in life. That's right. I think she needs to, I think it's not only should she not pay to take it. She needs an apology from the city. If the city is mandating that rule, I think Texas is one of the states is trying to one of the biggest. Okay. And the officer told her that no, this rule means that the person has to be out of your body in the seat. That's not, I know that's not in the fine print. That's not in the fine print. Show me where it says the person has to be out of your body. Why should it make a difference? It shouldn't make a fucking difference. What do we say when a woman is pregnant? She's with child. She's with child. So if you're with a child, boom, you get to drive in the fucking home. I don't get that at all. What is the difference if she's, if the baby's in the seat next door, if it's in your belly? I have no idea. We say it all we say. And if you kill a pregnant woman, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if that's true. I don't know if it's true either, but I've heard it enough to repeat it. I've heard it enough. I'm assuming these people know what they're talking about. Talking about when they say this. You should bro. Yeah. Can you look that up? Double homicide. Yeah. Even the way you say that shit is glizzy goblin, bro. Too glizzy. Okay. Yeah. Now I love that she did this shit. And it's true. If life begins in a section, and if I'm a girl. Taylor's wild, bro. What'd she do? No. What'd she even try to Google? I got to know what she's trying to do. Double homicide. No. If you kill a woman that's pregnant, does it count as double homicide? Yes. If you kill a woman that's pregnant. Cause I heard it did. And I heard it enough that I believe it. Cause that sounds fair. Yo. If it's a life, yo. Decide. If it's a life, then you kill two people. They say life starts with our gestation. What is gestation? Justin Bieber's new album that's coming up. I don't know. Isn't it gestation? What is gestation? Stop it now. Stop it now. You're going to fall down. What is gestation? You just said it, bro. You just said it. You just said it, bro. Stop acting like you're underwater, bro. You're not underwater anymore. You're just with us regular people now. You need to stop acting crazy right now, okay? Oh, say this shit. Gestation? That's what you're saying. Gestation. Isn't it? Now Taylor's reading legal documents. Taylor. Unborn victims of violence. Taylor, just go back on TikTok. Taylor, then when we need you, we're going to let you know and they're going to bring you back into the podcast. Just go back on TikTok, okay? I don't even know what to tell Taylor at this point. No, it's okay. It's one of those things that you move on. It's when we move on. Well, if it's true, if it's true that, you know, when you kill a pregnant woman, you get charged with double homicide, then that woman whose pregnant should be able to drive through the whole plane. If you're saying a baby is a life, and a woman is carrying a baby, and that baby is completely independent from her, that's what the argument is. Hey, don't punish the baby. It's a baby. It has nothing to do with the mother. Those are separate lives. That's right. Every woman that's pregnant should be able to drive through the whole plane. And even if you're not pregnant, driving that shit anyway and just say you are if they pull you over and then what they're going to do, they're going to give you a pregnancy test right there. And what kind of dickhead is this? She's 34 weeks. You can see she's showing. The brain is fully developed in a baby at 34 weeks. Absolutely. The baby's dream at 34 weeks. And the bosoms was full. I'm sure they were. And what kind of dickhead are you as a police officer to give that woman a ticket? Right? She's pregnant. Just let her go. And you got to give her an E for effort. Like, you know what? That was good. No, that was good. Go ahead. Somebody else might not be so nice to you. No, that was good. I fucked with that. And I'm going to tell you another double standard thing that happened. It happened in Jacksonville, Florida. I want you to add this to a tale. Because I truly believe this guy is being unjustly punished. This is a dude named Jeremy Nix. Jeremy Nix. Jeremy Nix. I don't know if you've seen this video, but Jeremy Nix got charged with animal cruelty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is interesting. Because his neighbor's rooster. His neighbor's cock attacked him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so he hit the cock in the head and accidentally killed the cock. Now his neck flares up and he's doing his thing and he's trying to jump up at me. So I pick up a stick in the yard and I try to hit it, but the chicken's jumping up at me and I accidentally knocked it in the head. I didn't know to give it a 21 gun salute. CPR, mouth to mouth, you know, or call the chicken ambulance. You know, I was feared from a safety and the chicken died. The chicken's dying every day. People at churches, Popeyes, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Really. His thing is like number one in fucking cock was attacking me. Number two, chickens die every day be. Every day. Popeyes, KFC, fucking churches. So my thing is, if you're not going to punish, we don't even got to go to the restaurant. Have you ever seen a chicken factory, bro? Have you ever seen when they farm these chickens on these factories? The cruel and unusual punishment? Bro, we used to chase cocks. I used to chase, I used to chase cocks with my grandma, bro. And we used to chase after these roosters and when we would catch these cocks, we would grab them by their necks and how Pewdie Potter used to do that shit. That's what we used to do with the chicken, break the chickens neck. All in the name of food. We never got charged with animal cruelty. These fucking farms and these factories that are killing billions of chickens a fucking year don't get charged with animal cruelty. So why is this guy? I think you make a good argument right there. Is there something about, like, it's that person's property and you've destroyed that person's property? Well, watch your fucking cock. And wait, was that cock on the neighbor's property? Yes, he said he was being attacked by the cock. He said the cock got big and the cock, like, just looked ferocious. We got scared. He grabbed his stick and hit the cock. I mean, if your cock is on my lawn. I gotta defend myself. I'm gonna beat it down. You should. Yeah. And he hit it right on the head. I mean, I'm gonna hit at the head. I'm gonna grab the body. I'm gonna do anything I can. You do what you gotta do to take that cock down. Eat the fucking cock. And by the way, when you kill the cock. Yeah, yeah. What you do with the meat? I mean, you have to devour it. That's the only thing to do is put the meat in your mouth. Yeah. Like, what else you gonna do with the cock? I agree with you, dude. I'm 100%. You don't want the cock. You want it to waste, right? I'm just tired of hypocrisy in this world. Yeah, me too, dude. There's no consistency. Yeah, we need consistency. Everything is a fucking contradiction. If I kill billions of cocks a year for food, how can I charge this man with animal cruelty? And I'm gonna go to Wendy's later and get a spicy chicken sandwich. Honestly, the animal is being cruel. The animal is guilty of cruelty. Ooh. Not the person. Yeah, you're right. I mean, it's in Florida, right? He's standing his ground. If that was a pit bull that was attacking him and then he hit it, nobody would care. True. True. It seems to be an innocent cock, but not all cocks are innocent. Not all cocks are innocent. Not all cocks are innocent. Like you said, some cocks are ferocious. That's right. Some cocks are fucking delicious too, dude. Yeah. Most of them. All of them. Most of the cocks I've had fucking taste good, bro. Cocks are amazing. No, they are. Every year, if you've ever eaten a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, you've ever eaten Chick-fil-A, Bojangles, Popeyes, you've eaten a cock. Can I ask you? Cocks are delicious. Have you ever been about to order something? You're at Chick-fil-A and they're like, you get the tenders and they're like, you want three? And you're like, No. I want more. More cocks, bro. Like, Yeah, like you got six cocks. I would like twice the amount of cocks if possible. Yes, man. So, yeah, now that's crazy, bro. I scared the shit out of my six-year-old too because we was in Anguilla and we was at this beach shack called Blanchets. Okay. So, you know, chickens were roaming around, right? Yeah. Chickens and their little kids and I go, those chickens want to talk to you because they want to know why you keep eating their family members. And she looked so concerned. She was like, I'm never eating chicken again. It was like it dawned on her like, this is what we're eating? Yeah. These cute little things that are walking around. My 14-year-old, she's like, I said, yo, Pull up then. That's right. My 14-year-old was like, yes. It's a boy. I'm still hungry. I'm still hungry. Exactly. Chickens die. That's what funny is how chickens die every day. Chickens die every day. It's the truth. This shit does remind me of like the marijuana laws, though. What do you mean? Because it's like, they're making marijuana legal throughout the country, whether it's medicinal or recreational, but then they still got people in jail for marijuana. And in some places, they're still giving you charges for marijuana. It just seems stupid. Okay. So that, I feel two ways about this. One, unlike this is the worst thing possible that the same politicians that are putting or enacting laws and putting people behind bars are now profiting off of. Yes. And by profit, I mean like these marijuana companies are paying them. Yes. Not paying them, but like campaign donations or however the fuck you like bribe politicians. On the other hand, you're in jail because you did something illegal. It was illegal at the time. And I guess you think... If the laws change over time, if you give somebody life for something that was illegal. That's crazy. And then you make it legal during their life. Yeah. Yeah. Comments should be like, they serve their time. So once the law changes, I would think... Now, does it work the other way? When something becomes illegal, all the people that we've known have done in the past, do we then punish them? What has been happening to us for the past five years? Go. Because of our speech. What do you mean? They've been doing that to us for how long? Okay, now let me do another one. They make abortion illegal. Do they come collect? They got the names. Did they start knocking on the door? Yeah. Yo, you remember in 2000... Right. They would have been 22 right now. Whoa. Right? It's tricky, right? It is. It is. I think it's... I think it's disgusting you can make something legal and then make money up. Literally, the state is charging taxes. Let's say... Let's say the state was like, we don't want any money from this because we've put people in prison for this. So we're not going to take any money. We're going to look the other way. You guys do your thing. That'd be incredible. That'd be one thing. That'd be incredible. But if the state is profiting... I agree. And you've got people in jail for it, that's crazy. I agree. I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. And I don't like it the other way around, by the way. Yeah, you want to be punished for all this shit? I think it's easy. I use about speeding tickets. Like, if you're driving on a highway, that was 55, right? It was 55... Oh, no, it was 85, 20 years ago. So you're doing 85 and then 20 years later, it gets reduced to 55. If you started getting speeding tickets in the mail from 20 years ago, you'd be like, what the fuck is going on? No, this was fine back then. That's my point. I don't like it the other way. But if you're already in jail for something and they make it fucking legal, you got to let them out. Yes. Every state that's legalized marijuana, y'all give people 20, 30 years, but you got to let them out. Yeah. Come on. I think so. Come on. Even though they did break a rule and you do get punished for breaking rules. Yeah. But if that rule also changes, you're basically saying, hey, that shouldn't have been a punishable rule back in the day. Yeah. It's like, you're correcting your shit. Yeah. You know? Like, if somebody was in jail for... Like, there was like racist laws. And let's say somebody broke one of those laws that were racist. Once that racist law goes away, you got to let all those people out of prison because they were punished for an immoral law. I would think so. I mean, it's all weird. Like, even with the animal cruelty charge, I think that's going to get dropped. The HOV ticket, I think that's going to get dropped. But it's crazy that people even have to go to court for these things. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the biggest. I just want... All I want across the board is consistency. I want it from everybody. I want the media to be consistent. You're going to be miserable, my friend, hoping you get that. Because I'm watching Hunter Biden snorting Boulders. And nobody's talking about it. Go. Or I fuck with him. Go. That makes the whole Biden family relatable. Go. Why does he hate his dad so much? That's what we need to figure out. Pressure. Pressure. I thought about this. I thought about this on the plane ride home yesterday and I was reading up on it. Because that is... Pressure. How do... Like, the only reason you would record that interaction is on some like subconscious level, you want to get caught. But he's been getting caught. I know. I know. I know. I'm saying it's like, you know getting caught hurts the people in your family, specifically your father. Yeah. Right? Like, this is a... It's not a cry for help. It's a cry for, fuck you, dad. Yeah. I read some excerpts out of his... The daughter's book. I forgot the daughter's name. It's the one that they caught in his email. He called her the C-word that rhymes with punt. But she said... Who called her that? Hunter called his sister that. And you don't say that word? No, I don't say it. I'm practicing bad habits. And she said in the book that basically kind of like joked about politics more than them. Yeah. So everything was about appearances. You know what I mean? So I guess Hunter's like, I ain't no motherfucking politician. I like this fucking... These drugs and I like these horse. And this is what I want to do in my life. Basically, I want to live out loud the way y'all do in Washington on the low. Yeah. You know what I mean? So I just think it's rebellion against that. I really think it's just rebellion against that type of pressure. Having to live up to being... I mean, come on. Say what you want. I don't know how you measure success as a politician, but he's got to be one of the most successful politicians of all time, right? I mean, he became president. There's only 40, what, six of them? Damn, I forgot about that. I was thinking about everything else. Yeah. I mean... That's it. The president thing. It's hard. Is it really that hard to do? Yes, bro. Yes, bro. That shit is fucking hard. He's ran three times. It's hard, bro. It's not hard for the winners. I was watching the Obama doc on HBO. Seemed easy. Obama got it the first time out the gate. Yeah, it was... Obama knocked it out the park the first time out the gate. Yeah, he was nice with it, though. And didn't have a lot of experience. Yeah, but he was nice. Hillary think about all the experience Hillary had, all the experience Joe Biden had. She's awful. She's just an awful person. That's my point. And so unlikable. There's nothing you can do about that. Some people are just so unlikable. Like, you look at her and you're like, ugh. If you watched the Obama doc, you're like, wow. If you watch the Obama doc, it's really like night and day. Because even though Obama is a politician, like he's a politician, true and true, he knew how to not be one. Yeah, yeah. Like there was one scene where like he's riding in the back of the car and it seems so stereotypical now, but the guy goes, yeah, you know, a lot of people say you're not black enough. And he goes, well, you know, when I'm walking through, you know, these neighborhoods like in the south side of Chicago, first buzz word, oh, south side of Chicago. He's like, and I go in the barber shops. Oh, and, you know, when I'm out just playing basketball, I'm like, that should sound so stereotypical. But in the moment, it sounded like just human and real. Yeah, exactly. Whether it was or not. I don't know. I'm sure it was. They actually cut to a scene of his barber the very next, you know, whatever the fuck they call it in the television world. And the barber was like, yeah, the guy asked me, is this broccoli, do I cut his hair to look like a white man? And I got offended. He's like, what the fuck does that mean? That's what the barber said. So is it like when you see that compared to like, Hillary at the time just being robotic, politician, talking about the issue. Lizard, yeah. It's like, people don't care about you. Hillary don't got it. She don't got it. She don't got it. I love Hillary though. Yeah. But she doesn't have the intangible thing that Obama has that Bill Clinton has. Say what you want about Bill Clinton, but that motherfucker is charismatic and charming. Everything is a story. Playing the saxophone on goddamn Marcello. You know what to do. And they said, they said, Bill never forgets a name. Oh yeah. Never forgets a name. Watch you and I mean, even watch him on like, you can watch him on like Jimmy Kimmel or any of these like late night shows. He's incredible on the late night shows. Because every question, he ties a story into it. He has funny quips. He's like witty, et cetera. It's like, Hillary's just like you said, so planned, so robotic. I need power. How can I get power? And in crazy parties, Hillary is not like that when you just catch her cooling. Right. You know, and Bill is always on. Yeah. It's about that life. I saw Bill. I remember seeing Bill at Tyler Perry Studios, man. He was shaking my wife's hand a little too long. I said to Bill. Oh yeah. I said, you shaking my wife's hand a little too long. You know, Charmaine, you'd have had something to worry about 30 years ago. No, he didn't. He goes, I'm harmless now. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. Listen. It was a joke, but it was hilarious. He's the best. You laughed your ass off at that. How do you not laugh at that? No, he's the best. You know what I'm saying? He's the best. Don't twist that to anything crazy. How do you not laugh at that? No, I mean, this is the most hilarious thing. What? The fact that he just said it. Oh, and he did. He did like he wiped his mouth. He smelled his hand. He smelled his hand. He smelled his hand. He just did like that. His mouth he goes, I'm in the mood for glizzies. He said back in the day, your wife would have got this glisty. I'm just saying, bro. You know what's crazy? My grandfather said that to my father after meeting my mom. What? He was like, he goes, Larry, literally, he goes, Larry, you know, if I was 30 years younger, you wouldn't have a chance with this one. That's what I'm saying. That's an OG joke. What's an old comic joke? It's a compliment. Yeah. It's like a street joke. Yes. That's an old street joke. Like older people will say, are you that 30 years ago? That's your way of saying, hey, your wife is beautiful. That's all they're simply saying. That's all. She can get this glizzy. What? What? Come on. What, Taylor? Come on. You can't imagine Bill Clinton wrapped in a bun. No, now Taylor thinking about the glizzy. She's like, I can't even eat a hot dog no more. She's like, I can never order a hot dog off the street anymore ever. Again. Should we do this now? Let's pay a bill first. Let's pay a bill first. Let's pay a bill and come back and talk about Miss Macy Gray. Hennessy, man. Hennessy, man. Salute to Hennessy, man. I got nothing but love for Hennessy.

Let's get back to the show. Church announcements. What you guys chose? Amen. Big church announcement. This is the thing I've been... Off to me. Been waiting to talk to you guys about. But obviously the special is coming out this Sunday. Infamous. I am selling it through my website. There's a two week window where you can buy it. But this Sunday I want everybody to watch it. It's a great day to review an event. Go get it. And you will be able to have it forever. We're going to send everybody who buys it a link so you'll be able to have your copy of it forever. But yeah. Infamous. This has been a big deal. Big deal for me. I know this took a while to get out. But there was... Basically what happened was it was with a streamer and the streamer wanted to edit jokes. And I was done with the editing jokes, man. I made it here because I never had notes on my stand up. So I'm not going to change that now. I put my stand up on YouTube and all these places. And the people really appreciate it. I think they appreciate it. It was authentic. I think they appreciate it was real. And I'm not going to start watering it down now that I have this moment. So I was fortunate enough where I could buy back my special. And now I'm selling it directly to the people. First of all, you know, I've always had tremendous respect for you. But that to me is like the most gangster shit you've ever done. Thank you. For career-wise. Because it takes a lot to drop your nuts on any of these platforms. You know what I'm saying? Like whatever the screaming platform was for you to be like, you know what? I don't give a fuck. Because number one, it says a lot about it says it shows your ego. Number one, because a lot of people do shit like that for ego. Oh, I need to be attached to the streamer. The streamer validates me. This person. Now, whoever it is, Netflix, Amazon, whatever the fuck it is, I got to be attached to this in order to be seen as somebody. You know what I mean? For you to have the respect for your fan base that you got, to know that your fan base shows up for you and you say, no, I'm going to give this to my fans the way I wanted to give it to my fans. And the thing that also makes it not ego-less is because you're not doing it for money. Of course. Like it's a purpose behind it. I want to get y'all back some money. You want to make back some money? But that's not just purpose. Your purpose is I want y'all to get this shit raw and uncut. We worked our asses on it. You know what I mean? Like Alex directed it. I mean, Mark produced it as well and the Shifty was editing it and Mark was editing it as well. And Doug is producing it. This is the whole team and we worked for months on this to make this a project that we wanted to be. And then I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to edit the fucking jokes. I'm sick of the fucking censorship. Like some dude in an office doesn't know what people want and what people appreciate and what people laugh at more than me. Right? You're out there every night. Like they make the edits on the jokes. The people make the edits on the jokes. No Connick wants a bomb. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I'm out there and a joke is bombing over and over again, I'm going to tweak the joke. Oh, my point isn't coming across. Oh, this punchline isn't funny enough. But if we get it and it's funny and if you come to one of my shows, you see my shows. Absolutely. You see every different group of people in there. That's right. And I'm not talking like political party, race, gender, all that shit. So it's like if all these people are coming together and laughing at the same thing, that is my litmus test. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my research. I think these people in these offices that are trying to make a fence free everything, like everything got to be free of a fence. Yeah. That's like trying to make a fucking vegan red velvet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you can't do it. Red velvet works, baby. Red velvet is red velvet. You either going to eat this shit with all the calories or nothing at all. Or nothing at all. Like how did the fuck out? So I just, I saw that shit this week and I just, I was like, yo, this is, this is like dropping your nuts. Yeah. In a real way. Fuck y'all. I'm putting this shit out. Something like that. You got to support. Like that's the kind of thing that if you're an Andrew Shows fan, you got to support. And even if you're not an Andrew Shows fan, that abortion joke alone. Thank you, man. I got to see what else this crazy motherfucker is talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And the abortion shit is not really a joke. It's actually a lot of truth to it. I just want to let y'all know right now, ladies, I am with you. I think it's your body, your choice. I agree with you on that. I agree with you. When you say to mention have no say in the decisions you make with your bodies, those are your decisions to make and yours alone. And I feel that way because at the end of the day, when we all go up to heaven and God's like, why are we all killing babies? We're going to be like, y'all. I think they're very clear whose decision this was, God. Looks like you need to pay for your sins, babe. Even though I paid for your sins. Come on, y'all. Shivery ain't dead to that baby, as you know the rules. That's a religious joke. It's on you. The whole piece is on YouTube. That's right. It's like a seven-inch piece. So go check it out. I wonder how that works for real till you get to heaven. And you're like, ain't no y'all, God. You guys were adamant about this. Right? Remember when y'all said don't make decisions? You told us not to make the decisions. Well, nah, that's true. That's true to gangster. And where did it go by that? And TheEndressShows.com. Just go get through my website and partner up with this company called Moment House. So they're going to be handling all the live events that's going on. And it'll be really cool. And we got new fashion merch. That's out as well. You can buy all that stuff through the website or just go to fashion.shop. And then we're going to do like a live hangout after we watch the things together. All the Flagrant Boys are going to be in the studio. We're going to go live with everybody. You can get that on the website as well. And... Dope. Yeah, man. It's just fucking awesome and the support and seeing people come out and do it and just support me is just great. So that would be awesome. If you guys want to support that, that would be fucking amazing. I would really appreciate that. And yeah, just... I don't know. It felt like the right thing to do. Obviously, like, financially, it was terrifying. But at the same time, it just... It felt like the right thing to do. And I've always... I don't know. You said something interesting to me, like, early on that's been very impactful. You were like, you could be a man of the people or a man of the industry. And I don't think that you were black and white about it because I don't have any animosity towards streamers, right? Like, I have a fucking movie coming out on Netflix. I have another movie coming out on Hulu. I have another project with Amazon. Like, I will work with you. That's fine. Absolutely. And I have empathy for the fucking executives. Like, these people might not be passionate about stand-up like I am. They're passionate about, like, building a business and running a company. They're trying to protect their jobs. Exactly. They have kids in fucking school. They have a mortgage. I get it. They don't want to take the heat for what you say. Exactly. Exactly. And it's like, they don't want to do it because they're like, that's not my passion necessarily, the executive board. And it's like, for me, that is my passion. So I'm going to fight for that. But I can understand where someone's coming from. You know, what I've got to do is prove that there is a market for this and that people love this and it's okay. And then what happens in the future? It's like other comics, see this is an opportunity if they don't want to censor their jokes. And once more comics realize they can make more money doing this than they can doing traditional specials, now the networks got to change their standards. Now the networks got to go, you know what? The people actually like this way more. Maybe we should loosen our restrictions a little bit. Yeah, especially when you are already saying Chapelle can do what he wants to do because Chapelle is Chapelle and Chapelle is doing numbers. So if you're going to let Chapelle, you know, do it and you're going to take the heat for Chapelle and just take the heat for everybody. If it's working, if it's working, it's working, man. You know, so theadreshows.com check that out. It's Sunday, we're all watching that together. Order that up and just thank you guys, everybody who's already bought it and reached out and spread the words like so many people, people just writing articles and people just like tweeting it and people post on Instagram and like because it's ballsy. I saw a bunch of articles. Nobody, first of all, they have the money to buy back your special. Very lucky, really good money management. You know what I'm saying? Like, like it's clearly good money management, but you to have the money took the way to do it. But also it's just like nobody would do that. People want to have their name attached to these creamers. They think it makes them bigger. That's, that's what I know. That's why I always go back to that thing you said. It's like, to me, I'm validated by the people. Like to me, like the live show means so much to me and I want it to be the best show that you've seen because you guys made my career whereas I think there are a lot of people like, as long as I'm in this movie with this company or as long as I'm doing this, like that stuff is cool and it's fun, but it doesn't validate me. Like the people validate me. Like I don't need to be an industry darling. I don't care about it. I don't need to go to the fucking parties. I don't, that doesn't validate me as much as just walking down the street. The dude is fucking throwing out the trash. It's like, show T. That's right. What up? That's right. Is exactly like, am I with the people? Overreach. Cause you might be on one of these streamers and you might reach more people. So you might, let's just say, let's just say, eyeball wise, a million people see it. All right, cool. But man, when you impact a hundred thousand, when you impact 200,000, 300,000, when you impact, you have like 300,000 people in there. Like real impact, like that. Fuck with you. Oh, I know him. I saw him on, no, they fuck with you. That's the, that's the scary thing about this. So a lot of people, a lot of people don't want to know what they're worth. I'm gonna find out. Yeah. Yeah. That's scary to people. Man, you know, it's something from that Barack Obama special. I heard it twice on the special. David Axelrod said it to Barack and Barack said it to somebody else too. He was like, I'm not afraid you gonna lose. I'm afraid you gonna win. He was like, he was like, I'm not afraid you gonna lose. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's when it's like, whoa. Yeah. You're gonna win. You probably already won. You probably already made your money back. We're doing good. We're doing good. But there's, you know, there's, there's, there's more work. Like, like Kobe said, job's not done. In order to change the game, it's got to be, it's got to be different levels to this. Yeah. And I want, I want to reach those different levels. And, and it's what you were saying about like people seeing it like, what I already experienced and like, what is, what is this comedy? It ain't Netflix. Like it ain't, it ain't Amazon. It ain't any of these streamers. Like if you look at the numbers, I bet you all those streamers get more views on their YouTube and Instagram clips than they do in their own content on their platforms. And it's just because the algorithm is pushing it to everybody. So it's like, the eyeballs ain't with the streamers and if you can't say what you want, so you can't say what you want and you're not getting the eyeballs. The only thing they got is money. And they're like, you want to say what you want yourself? See what happens? Screamers are probably only good for like, I don't want to say up and coming people, but like people who don't have like super established fan base shit. I think the opposite. I think you build the fan base by putting in a place where the algorithm can push it into other people who like it. I think that the streamers are great when you're in a Dave Chappelle situation where it's like, you're ubiquitous, everybody knows who you are, and you're so popular they're not going to take the heat. They're going to take the heat. Exactly. So I, you know what I mean? I watched two comedy specials this week. I watched the I watched the old Bill Burr. I watched Bill Burr. Oh, Bill got a special coming out, man. You also check it out. It's on the 12th. Got that WNB agent. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched the old one. What's the name? Tiger Paws? No, what was this shit called? Ah, what's the Bill Burr specials? Paper Tiger. Paper Tiger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched that. My wife, my wife loved Bill Burr. She called it a shappell thing, a special. That was the talk at his school. Yeah. What's the name? I watched that this weekend.

So make sure you go get your tickets at blackeffect.com slash podcast festival. Now let's get back to the show. I have one more thing that I want to say. And this is the cool thing. You always heard like the expression, like if you build it, you know, they will come like, and like Chris Rock had that fucking great joke about like people always help the person who's moving the car. That's right. And like, it is crazy to see that happen. Like in real life, not only like the support but, you know, Jamil, who does, you know, our partnerships and stuff like that. He was talking to some companies. There was a company bet online, right? And I'm sure they saw a synergy of, you know, betting on yourself or whatever. But like, they basically, they were basically talking and basically bet online. They're flying 10 people out to New York City to watch the special. But this is, this is the crazy, I was like, yo, that's crazy. This is the craziest thing. Okay. So the special is $15, right? Bet online, what better line to do it is, is giving everybody who buys the special a $15 bet on bet online. Really? So, you could make money on the special. Based off what, like how many people watch it? No, just, if you got an email, you're buying the special, you put your email in, that email, you sign up on bet online or you have an existing account. Wow. You don't even have to deposit nothing. They're just like, we will match that, you buying the special $15 and give you a better, a better line. So I'm just like, hold on, so you're basically giving people the special for essentially free and they could potentially win money on it. Wow. Anyway, so I thought that was fire and I got to show a better line on that. So, so go get that right now. Anybody pre-orders that right now, you will get that. It's crazy that companies like that don't just sponsor shit like that. But that's awesome. Yeah, it's a partnership because, I mean, yes, you're talking about them a lot. Absolutely. But I don't know, for me, I think like, I love it. I had this conversation when I was in Cairns, Lyons about advertisers and I was talking about how like, they were asking like, what's the benefit of advertising on like podcasts, things like that. And I, it just applies more than just podcasts, but I was just like, yo, if there's millions of people tuned into something, right? And I always use horrible decisions as an example, right? Because people, people love horrible decisions, the reason is because I just think it's too black when we're talking about sex because every other explicit content, every other podcast, very profitable when you see the white girl, that's what I'm saying. So it's like, it's just strange when that happens. But it's like, if there's millions of people watching something, millions of people into something, why does it fucking matter what your brand thinks of it or people in your office think of it? You just want to be what the people are. You know what I'm saying? So if there's millions of people tuned into something, clearly these millions of people cannot be wrong. Bro, I would even go so far to say is that like, a podcast are the most devout supporters. Yes. Right? Because like, if you're on a show that just happens to be on TV, somebody might be scrolling, they're going to bump into it. You're not scrolling and bumping into a two-hour podcast. At all. At all. These are people you actually fuck with intimate details of your life. Loki, you got to pay you should be paying a premium to access That's right. the most devout supporters. That's right. So like, hell yeah, any brand, they'd be stupid to not want to be part of this. And when they say stuff like, well, it's too edgy for who? Yeah. Millions of people are tuning into this every week. They're going to learn the hard way. You know how they learn? It's always the bottom dollars. It's their competitor takes that, like if I'm horrible decisions, I'm, I'm going after the competitor of the big brands. I'm going after the number two. Word. I'm going after the number three company. And then I'm blowing them up past the number one. And now the number one is like, fuck, we messed up. We were playing prevent defense. We were pussy. And then we lost out on all that money. That's right. 100%. And that's all it is. I mean, that's my, that's the moral of the story. Stop being afraid. Stop having these focus blogs to see if you either go and be what the people are or not. This is the same shit with the execs. That's right. It's like they're trying to make the best decision, but they're not with the people. It's very easy. You can see. That's why I don't know that phrase. I don't know how that phrase holds up in 2022. If you build it, they will come like, no, you got to build it and you better meet people where the fuck they are. That's what you're doing. Oh, I see. You got to build it, but you also got to put it in a place. They can access it. You better meet them where they're on social media. You got to put in front of them on social media. That's right. That's what I realize about people is like, if you give them the opportunity to enjoy the content and it like impacts them, you know, they have a fucking tough day and then you just make them laugh. They appreciate that shit and they'll come back for more, but you got to at least put it in front of them. It's like if you open up a restaurant on an island, deserted island, middle of nowhere, you can't be mad if motherfuckers don't come. Who know the food fire? That's it. Who know? Yeah. You got the fire glissies. Sometimes you might have to give some glissies away. And people will gobble them, bro. And people will gobble them. Now, what did Macy Gray say? Oh, big Macy Gray. Macy Crane Claw. Big Macy. Yeah. Macy was, I don't mean, you know what I mean by big, like big. Like size. No, man, like big dog status. Macy's great. And I will say this and everybody's going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your plots, doesn't make you a woman. Right. You feel that? I know that for a fact. What do you think of Macy Gray's statement? Um, you know, we had a trans woman on the show named Daisy Taylor, trans porn star. And, um, and she just really just, yeah, she just really convinced me, man. Like, I think that I understand where she's coming from and she's defined herself with body parts and with that biology. And I think that makes sense, but there's 7 billion people on the planet. All sorts of weird shit happens. Okay. Like obviously the design for most people is for the design. It is a making model. No, there is a making model. It's like, dude, chick. They fuck. They make more dudes and chicks who also fuck. We continue the population. That was the idea. Right. Sometimes a person's born missing something. Sometimes a person's born with a little bit more. There's 7 billion versions of it. There's going to be some things that are twisting and turning. And I think that there are people who have some things that are twists and turns and they were born in the wrong body. Oh, that's, that's a good, that's a good discussion. So is it mental or physical? Well, obviously the body is physical. Now what I all, and then obviously I think that the feeling is mental. But I, what I also think happens is we are human beings that are drawn to trends. And I think that things become trendy and then we often do them. We've seen it happen with face tattoos and then people regret it. I think we've seen it happen with clothing. And I think we're seeing it happen with, with maybe a gender identity where people are maybe overcorrected. Over on the menu. Exactly. But maybe there's an overcorrection because we were so rigid before. Yeah. Right. So now there's this, oh, there's a hundred different genders because before it was like it was only two. There are people that are trans and they are born in the wrong body. And that is something that they struggle with. And the best way that they know how to handle it is by getting a reassignment surgery. That's the best option they have so far. And even then it's probably still very difficult. And then I think there are also like young kids who think that it's cool or there's like social points if they identify as that. And then in school and they're, and they're, and they're kind of going through that process. That's what I just think it feels wild to tell somebody. Listen, I'm sure it's more than this, but to tell somebody I am you because I feel like you. Well, she's not, they're not saying I am you. They're saying I'm me. And I think that's the distinction a lot of people don't get. But they're saying they're women. Yeah, but like, yeah, I'm me, which is a woman, not I'm you. Why can't they just say they're trans women? Like why can't trans women just be its own category? That makes more sense to me when I see trans women are trans women. Yeah. And then there's women that were born women. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like to me, that's got to be two totally different things. I could never know what a woman's experience is on this planet, bro. Yo, and a trans woman's experience is going to be totally different from the woman's experience. That's right. And a black woman's experience is going to be totally different from a white woman's experience and so on and so forth. What I'm saying is with seven billion people, we're talking about millions, bro. We're not talking about millions. Billions. I think it's possible that there are some wires that get switched up and people are born with certain things that weren't part of the original model or design. Well, how do those billions and billions of people find a way to all go to McDonald's? McDonald's has served every single one of them. How has McDonald's found a way to serve every single one of those people? What does McDonald's have? Everybody. It's a great restaurant. Everybody can agree on it. It's the greatest restaurant in history, bro. It's just what it is. It's like every culture, like every single group of people on the planet plus the McDonald's, bro. Yes. Regardless of what you identify as, you identify as a quarter pound of love. You love that quarter pound of pride, bro. That's right. It's crazy, but it's true, bro. It's crazy, but it's true. I just, I listen to women and if a woman tells me that, you know, that's, to me, it shouldn't have been backlash. It should have been a discussion. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, I have the conversation instead of being so quick to stick a glizzy in somebody's mouth and choke them out. You know what I'm saying? Like actually have the conversation, but I'm not about to argue with no woman on what makes a woman. I think they should just talk to more trans people. Like just to have a conversation, like for me, that's what was transformative. I transition. The morning meets the eye. Yeah. No, but for me, it just was like, I don't know. I mean, Al, you were there too. Like did you, did you have that same feeling? Yeah. Like I didn't get it before having that discussion with them. I believe in trans women. I believe that they believe exactly what it is they say. Yeah. I believe they feel the way they feel. I'm just simply saying that I think that there's a trans woman experience and then there's a biologically born woman experience. And I don't think they would disagree with that. I don't think those experiences are the same. And I think that's why it can't be the same. Well, I think that's why the conversation. All right. Here's the tricky thing about this. There's so few people who are out as trans that the average straight person, male or female, hasn't even had a conversation with one. Okay. That's true. And it's very similar. So we don't even know what they're saying and what they feel and a lot of times the only people that we hear from are like the most extreme versions of the group because those are the people that get the media attention. Yeah. Like if you the average trans person, I've spoken to a few trans people like when they talk about like the sports thing, like the women and sports, they're like, they literally are like, you know how bad this is for trans rights because now everybody hates us because this one girl wants to swim. It's like, girl, there's a bigger issue here. That's right. Like the trans community from what I hear from them, they're worried about getting like beaten up or they're worried about getting killed. They're not worried about swimming. Yeah. Actual civil rights issues. Exactly. So they're like, you're putting negative attention on us and like giving people a way of like shutting us up or silencing us when you're doing this. So they, and then you hear one of them say that and then you're like, oh, okay. So we kind of agree on all the same things and they're like, his daughter and D-Way was talking about how, you know, he was talking about how transgender rights are being scripted away, but he was using the women, it was some, I think somebody banned women, I mean, trans people from playing women sports. I forgot what state it was. Yeah. And I was like, you're conflating. Ohio maybe? But I'm like, you're conflating two issues. Like, yes, we want all people to have rights. We don't want to see people being hurtful who they are, discriminated against for who they are. We don't want that. But the women's, the trans women playing women's sports is a total different issue. Different issue. And then when you money them, it just makes everything more difficult. Cause it's like, is that what you call trans, right? And people who don't know, like, is that what they call a trans rights? And it's so much harder for the average person to believe and support that. The average person is going to see the competitive advantage that a dude, the transition into a woman has over women and they're going to be like, yo, I got daughter, just be able to compete on a level playing field. Not against someone who has genetic advantages. Absolutely. So if that's the discussion, then the trans community doesn't get hurt really because they're going to have to fight for that girl. And then the community is so tight. They're like, well, I can't speak out against this girl because they're fighting for, I guess, all rights, but at the same time, you fucking everything up. You know what? And again, I could be, I'm paraphrasing what these women I've spoken to said. So my bad, I don't know exactly what I'm doing my best. There's so few trans people and so few straight people have trans friends that they don't even know exactly how they feel and they're getting the most exaggerated version of how they feel and then arguing with that. It's very similar to like back in the day when white people and black people were not friends, right? Or the friend groups weren't as mixed and you even see it now like they're just kids who don't have white friends and don't have black friends and the things they say about one another can be like borderline races even if they're not intending to be because they don't know what's considered offensive or not. You know what I'm saying? Like a white lady that doesn't even realize it's wrong to like ask if she can touch her hair, right? It's not like she has malice and hate in her heart. She's just walking up and going, oh, that looks really beautiful. Let me do it. She doesn't understand the sensitivity, right? But a white girl that grew up with you and went to school with you is like, never gonna do that probably she probably seen it happen to you and then saw you get offended or something like that. And then she's like, oh, that's a line that you don't cross and you have to learn that. So I think what will probably happen in the future is there'll be more straight people that have friends that are trans and then they'll know one, how most trans people feel about things and then two, what line is crossed or not. Absolutely. That's what I think. But look, Macy's right in terms of the experience is not the same. It's not the same and I think that's all Macy is saying. I mean, it's like, it's like an honest statement. Like, but it's an obvious thing. I don't know. I didn't, I didn't, I don't pay attention to the backlash. I just heard people got upset and then I know they got mad at our homie Flam because, you know, Flam spoke out in support of Macy Gray, but Flam has always said I'm not a woman. He's like, I emulate a woman. Yeah. He's like, I wouldn't got breast and everything else and I wear dresses sometime, but he was like, you know, you know, what did I am a woman? Like, play Flam comments and so. Good evening, everyone. My name is comedian Flam Monroe. I am a transgender woman or person, however you describe it. And this message is directly from Macy Gray. Macy Gray, I want to tell you the words of my mouth from my portion of the LGBTQIA plus community that I wholeheartedly support you and thank you for seeing the real world for what it is. I do not believe that you are transphobic or homophobic or any other kind of phobic. I believe that you know science and biology because here are the three things. Gender is a fact. Identity is how you feel and sexuality is your desire and you are absolutely right because until you have the heart and mind of a woman, I don't believe that you could ever possibly be a biological woman. Trans women are trans women. Trans men are trans men. Women are women and men are men. It is as simple as that. There shouldn't be any argument about this. I'm going to tell you something, man. Flame breaks it down so clear and so concise for everybody to understand because that's all it really boils down to and I think that's where people push back because it feels like in a lot of ways they're trying to play with people's reality or they're just trying to make people believe things that we know not to be true. You know what I'm saying? I don't think trans people are ever saying I am a biological woman. And if they are, then they're inaccurate. I think what they're saying is that they are women in terms of how they feel. I don't like what you were saying how trans women they have nerve to get upset when we're saying they're not really women. You don't know how I feel. You don't know how my body parts getting stuff does not mean you're a woman and I really agree with Macy Gray and I don't know why people had to add you with it. How do you know that they don't feel the same? What does that even mean though? Did anyone ever ask them what does that mean to feel like a woman because to me no offense I have to cut it out but I feel like it's this dress up. You do not know how I feel as a woman. Women like to dress up. But you're saying it's more than that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a valid question. That's not a question. I'm here to defend. I'm not a woman. Frankly, I don't know. Y'all can figure that shit out yourselves. That's how I feel. I'm like, listen, I real would flame said flames. What did she say? Flame said gender is gender is a fact. Identity is what you feel and sexuality is your desire. I think that is so I think that's beautiful. profound. Let's pay some bills and come back and do some asking idiots, man. All right, guys.

Hey, before we continue on, I forgot to say this during church and I salute everybody and Charleston, South Carolina, man, you know my birthplace, my hometown is Monks Corner. I will be down there this Thursday, you know this weekend, they're having the Denmark B.C. Bicentenary and it is celebrating the 200 year anniversary of Denmark B.C.'s planned slave revolt. He didn't actually get a chance to revolt because he got ratted out by one of the other slaves, but it's going to be July 14th through the 16th at the Gill Yards Center and I'll be there Thursday doing a panel discussion at 7.30 p.m. called Truth Be Told okay with you know, Kamal Bell and Dr. Tonya Mathews and then some other great historians on the legacy of Denmark B.C. If you've ever read my first book, Black Privilege and you know how much the story of Denmark B.C. influenced me coming from Charleston, South Carolina, Monks Corner, South Carolina. So join us this weekend. Little Duvall, the goat. Duvall keeps posting this video. He's been posting it for years. I don't know why all of a sudden this morning it became a thing, but he's been posting this video of him twerking that ass at a high school talent show in 1994. This is Duvall. You've seen this video, right? Nope. You've never seen this video? This is Little Duvall at a high school talent show in 1994 and what Duvall was trying to say is every floater boy danced like this in high school. That is a fact. Go watch old 69 boys' videos. Go watch old Uncle Luke men used to wear biker shorts. Yo, hoochie. Yo, hoochie. Daddy's short. Niggas was out here in Bytesons, B. Okay? That's... I never did that. Where's Duvall? That's Duvall right there. In the middle? Yeah, in the middle. He's going to look back. I'm going to tell you when you're going to know it's Duvall. Just keep watching. Watch him. That's Duvall. Pop, pop, pop. Now watch Duvall. This is how you're going to know it's Duvall. Forever the showman. Just watch it at the end of the video. Watch it at the end of the video. Watch him. Oh, yeah, he's popping. Let's get a point. Oh, watch this point. That's how you know it's Duvall. That pointed to it. That pointed to it. By the way, he's not twerking though. He's more fucking like that stroke. Y'all didn't grow up in the 1900s. Not me. That was the night we do be twerking when we're fucking. I'm on my back. No. You talking when you're putting... I'm on my back. Nah, I'm on my back and I hit him with a popcorn. Ain't no way, bro. Nope. On your back is even crazier. On the back and then just popcorn? Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Nah, bro. You're gonna hit him with a popcorn a little bit on the back? No, bro. Pop, pop, pop, pop. On your black is real. On my black. I'm on my black, bro. I get on my black and I hit him with a little popcorn. On your back, cause you got your ass to the sheets. So that means that your ass is rubbing the sheets at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like the glory hole. I don't like the glory hole. I like, I do like my glory hole a little bit. But this is regular. Yo, in the 1900s, this is how so many of us used to dance, bro. When Uncle Luke said, put your hands up. That's wild, man. In the 1900s. That is the 1900s. You know how long ago? 1994 was? 1994. Yo, do you know how long ago that was? Bro. When Uncle Luke said, put your hands up high, your back down low. Now hydraulic to the floor. Boom. Boom. Boom. No. Hydraulic. No, no, no, Taylor. Hydraulic. That's Megan. Hydraulic mean up and down. You got to have him knees. First of all, don't tell me about twerking, bro. I honestly think you might hurt yourself if you try to do that. Exactly. I honestly think you might hurt yourself. She be mad jealous of me because I got to ask more. I got more ass than you and my knees sturdy and relaxed. Yeah, that's facts. Relax. That is facts. That is facts. Relax. Taylor gang. Taylor, you got to chill out. Okay. You think just because you was born as a woman, you're the only person out here that got cast and can twerk and got strong knees. Okay. I'm going to show a picture of video with Megan. The one you were. I just like this point. That point at the end is wild. The point is super doable, bro. The one where you were so much, much like when Megan was twerking. Remember that video? Yeah. That's what he's doing. No. The only thing that makes this glizzy is the choreography, the fact that they playing this. All three of them are doing the same dance together. Yeah. They got the same outfits on. Watch this. Watch this. Glizzy gobb. You see the glizzy gobb. Shout out to Duvall though, man. Duvall. Showing the kids how we did it in the 1900s. Ain't nothing y'all got new, bro. Yeah, that's facts, bro. Nothing. Nothing y'all do is new. Nothing changes, dude. Everything is the fucking same, man. Y'all just remixed in shit. Did we talk about Kevin Durant? What'd he do? Ray G just playing. He's changing his name to Tron. I mean, no, Kevin Durant just wanting to trade. Oh, he's officially said it? Oh, yeah. You didn't know that? He said that like two weeks ago. Nah, man. He said he officially wants to trade. If I'm Brooklyn, I'm not trading. If I'm Brooklyn, I'm not trading him or Kyrie or him. Yeah. Play it out. We haven't played out. We have done nothing wrong to y'all. This is where y'all said y'all wanted to be. Y'all picked the coach and everything else. Yeah. Kyrie, you could have got vaccinated last year. You chose not to, and I respect Kyrie. He didn't just help at all. He was playing in the playoffs. He made a choice. He made a choice. And then when he played in the playoffs, they got swept by the Celtics. Yeah. Listen, he made a choice. People make choices every day. You got to live with the consequences of your choices. I'm the Brooklyn. First of all, you're not going to get nothing for Kevin Durant. Why not? Because he demands too much. Whatever you give up for Kevin Durant, you're fucking gutting your team. You know what I mean? You're going to give up all of these first round draft picks. You're going to give up... They said they want two all-stars and a bunch of first round draft picks. Who's Katie going to play with if he goes... I saw the Suns. The Suns had a good package. But at one point, they said they wanted to give up... They wanted Devin Booker. You're not giving up Devin Booker. Also, Kevin Durant don't want to play with Chris Paul. You don't think so? Nobody wants to play with Chris Paul. Really? I think Chris Paul is the perfect thing for somebody like Kevin Durant. He's a leader. But Chris Paul is going to yell at you. That's the leader. Yeah, but Kevin Durant is at a point in his career. He don't need all that. What he wants... Kyrie needs to get yelled at. Kyrie needs to get yelled at, but he won't be yelled at. So then he's going to have a problem. He's at a point where he's not going to be yelled at. I mean, it was too much even just playing with LeBron. So it's like, I think Kevin Durant wants to be back in Golden State, where it's like, we're going to run the offense through you. Have fun. Be dominant. We don't have any over-the-top coaches. We don't have any over-the-top personality on the team outside of Draymond. But Draymond's not even the best player on the team, so he can't really tell you what to do and step. I'm the leader though. Say what? He's a leader. Who? Draymond Green. I think he'd rather deal with Draymond than Chris Paul. Chris Paul, people hate playing with him, bro. Draymond's a beast though. You'll listen to Draymond more. Draymond got the rings. You got the rings. You got to pay attention. He got four rings. God knows what he's doing. He's a great leader. Steph Curry is a great leader. Draymond Green is a great leader. Steve Kerr. Andre Iguodala is a great leader. Steve Kerr is a great leader. You know what I'm saying? Clay Thompson is a great leader. Like they have so many great leaders. That's why Jordan Poole can come down and have success. Andrew Wiggins can come down and have success. James Wiseman is going to have mass success next year. They can take that young core and grow them up the right way because of the people that they have in position. That's your name for everybody, man. And it's a very eagle-less team they have. Yeah. That's the beauty of it. And that's trickled down. Steph's going to have no ego. You can't have an eagle because you're not better than Steph. I know y'all if you can't be say the word eagle. Shameless plug. Let's go, Ryan. This is my favorite book, I think. I've read this book so much. That's why it looks like this. I even had it on vacation with me because I constantly read it so much. And what I read the most is the success chapter. Because I want to read y'all one thing from the success chapter because it's so real, man. Success. This is just how it starts off. Here we are at the top of a mountain we worked hard to climb. Or at least the summit is in sight. Now we face new temptations and problems. We breathe thinner air in an unforgiving environment. Why is success so ephemeral? Eagle shortens it. Did I hit that word, Ryan? Nope. What is it? Ephemeral. Ephemeral. Really? How many times do you read this? I be fucking that word up every single time, bro. Ephemeral. Ephemeral sounds wild. That sounds like an identity. It doesn't sound like an identity. What are you, Ephemeral? Eagle shortens it. Whether a collapse is dramatic or a slow erosion, it's always possible and often unnecessary. We stop learning. We stop listening. And we lose our grasp on what matters. We become victims of ourselves in the competition. Sobriety, open-mindedness, organization, and purpose, these are the great stabilizers. They balance out the ego and pride that comes with achievement and recognition. I read this book so much because you have to constantly keep reminding yourself. And when I read it this week, there was a part in the success chapter that talks about the more you accomplish, the less you should know. Think about that. The more you accomplish, the more success you get, the more money you get, the more you accomplish, the less you should know because it's always new territory. You're always, like, for example, you're putting out this special. You don't know what could happen with this special. You just know that you're at a point where you're successful enough to turn down, putting your special out on this screamer, buy it back and sell it yourself. You don't know what the outcome of that is going to be. That's true. You have no idea what the outcome of that is going to be. So you're in uncharted territories right now. You are completely clueless. You just simply don't know. And that's how we always have to be because that's how we remain students. Right now, you're a student. Yeah. And also, like, once you make an accomplishment, you probably are going to try to set a new goal. Now you're completely uncharted territory, right? That's right. So now you know nothing about that new thing that you want to accomplish. So yeah, that makes a lot of sense. We always got to stay students, man. Always. Bro, you said something earlier in the podcast. They're kind of like, I don't know, got me thinking a little bit. You were like, I feel closer to God when I'm in Gwilla. Yes, in Gwilla, yeah. And yeah, I think there's something about, like, natural beauty. Like, I felt this when I was in Italy, too. Whereas, like, I would see things and I would go, I completely understand. Why people believe in God here. Because there's no way man could have made something like this. I mean, you just watch a sunset on a fucking cliff. And you're just like, this is God. This, I'm looking at God. Bro, I told my wife to put the time lapse on. Let me see. I told her to put the time lapse on just to, just to, just to watch that beautiful sunset, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? And, like, literally me and my wife sat outside, and we do this all the time, but we sat outside and, like, we just watched Falling Stars. And, like, I'm in the car with my three-year-old yesterday and she's like, I want to see a Falling Star just randomly. And I go, yo, we saw a bunch of them this week, you know? And so my six-year-old goes, to see Falling Stars, you have to stay up real late, like past 9.30. But it's the truth. You see nature, it's like... Well, because it's humbling, right? Like, I think it's very easy to get caught up in the city, like, especially, you know, with the algorithms and our phones and internet, like, you get caught in your own bubble in your own world and you can be the champion or the victor in your own world, right? But when you're... You can tell yourself a story and you can believe it. And that's really valuable, like, don't get me wrong. Like, it's important to create those stories for yourself to motivate yourself, whether you're losing 150 pounds, like, that's the story. Like, go fucking get it every single day. But there's something about being around nature. And I think this is why, like, wealthy people who value life tend to put themselves in these environments. It's not just the natural beauty. Like, yeah, of course, you want to see beautiful things. But, like, the wealthy people that are, like, trying to get the most out of life, not the ones who are like, I need to buy this really fancy thing because then other people will go, look how fancy that guy is. I'm talking about the people who are, like, getting an estate in Montana. There's something else happening in Montana. They're doing it to get closer to nature. Yes. And why? Jackson Hole. Jackson Hole. Anguilla. Fucking Italy. There's places all around the world. And I really think... The Hamptons. The Hamptons. The Hamptons is very beachy. Yeah, it's beachy, but it's a little scenic. But I hear what you're saying. I know it's like the Hamptons. I don't even know why I said that. You're not missing much. But there's something about the humility that nature provides. You might think you're this big fucking shot. And then you go in front of this amazing ranch in Montana. You go to Anguilla and you watch the fucking sunset. You're on the coast from Malfi and you're watching the sunrise. It's like, you see these things. You're like, this shit is so much bigger than me. And this is a refreshing feeling that there's something else out there. And I think that as people get more and more successful, I imagine these billionaire motherfuckers, they need that reset. They need to know. Yeah. I mean, listen, go to Kabul and just watch the whales jump out the water. I bet you'll sit your stupid ass down somewhere. Just watch. And when you see boats in the water and the whales jump by the boats, but don't knock the boats over or nothing, you're like, the only reason we are even, the only reason things are going well for us in this water because that whale is allowing us to. Bro, you know what? No, it's facts, bro. You're little. You're little. Well, you know what? I agree with you wholeheartedly. But it also can make you feel big. And I'll tell you why. You're like, God created all of this and He created me. Well, and you know, when you really feel that go in the ocean and pee, bro. I'm dead serious. Like peeing in the ocean is one of the most natural things. It's just like when you pee in the toilet, you can feel it kind of when you pee in the ocean. It's just like a release of water. And it's like I'm sharing with the water like here. It's not like you need more. Yeah. But here. I'm dead serious. Just try it. This is one thing I think New York is missing. And it's not peeing in the water. But like the buildings and the way that it's made is a miracle. But at the same time, like unless you live on the water, you don't get that sunrise sunset, man. Like that's like a real luxury in New York. And that was your biological clock. Yeah. Like for millions of years as we live as human beings, bro. It's like, oh, the sun is coming up. Oh, it's time to get up. Time to do my shit. Oh, the sun is going down. It's time to go down to it. And like I do think that that is a very unnatural thing. And I think it's a really nice thing for us when we get out of the city. I know there's people listening to this that just watch it every single day on their fucking portrait or whatever. And they're like, these guys are ridiculous. But that is not something that we get to see. And seeing it is just. Listen, I grew up in the country, most corner South Carolina. So all I knew was nature. Yeah. I mean, playing outside was a thing. That's why black people think outside is a smell because it is. And you know what I'm saying? You only know that if you go outside a lot, you know what I mean? We used to run through cornfields, run through the woods, walk barefoot in the grass. We played with, you know, insects, all types of shit. Like I love nature. Nature is all I know. Nature is the most amazing thing for my mental health. I promise you when I'm on these islands, just walking around the woods somewhere on a nature hike or something. It's like, I don't have any anxiety. It's so wild. It really is. I can't even describe it. And I'm always just trying to figure out ways to just be like psychologically, mentally, sound, stable, healthy. Nothing does it for me like nature. Yeah, it's true. It's the ultimate. I'm not using the word right. Because it's not. Epidermal? What's the word? Yeah. Epidermis. Epidermis. It's it. What is it? How do you say the ultimate humbler? The ultimate humbler. Is that it? I don't know. It's just it's hard to sit there and see this and be like, oh, wow, those trees have been growing for hundreds of years. These rock formations have been here for millions of years. Like you're just seeing all this and you're going, wow, we're here for a very short amount of time. Yeah. And there's two ways to go with that. You can go dark with that. Like we're insignificant. And then you can go the way you went with it where like, how fucking lucky am I that I get to be here now? I'm able to do these things now. And 90 to 100 is a long time. I mean, listen, we're not going to be here as long as trees. But I mean, if you lived to be 80, 90, you lived a good life. You know what I mean? And I honestly, Ryan, Ryan Holidays with the Ryan Ryan gave me a coin one time. And the coin literally was like, you're going to die one day. And I'm like, bro, why would you give me this? You know what I mean? Motivation, bro. Don't waste it. That's right. It makes you appreciate life. And I saw this thing with a Neil deGrasse Tyson. Larry King. And he asked Larry King what he want to live forever. What he want to live to some, I forgot what the, it was a long time frame. And Neil was like, if we had that much time, what would be the point? And what would be the point of getting out of bed every day knowing that we got tomorrow? Death is the motivator. Death is the motherfucking motivator, man. Let's do some asking idiots, Taylor. I mean, get up out of here. Taylor gang. Oh, this is a good one. LJ Havelichek said, what is the best 19? What is the best movie from the 1990s? He said best 90s movie, but that's the 1900s. What's the best 90s movie? I'm confused on timing of movies now. Like is Ghostbusters the 90s or is that the 80s? Like, that might have been 1980s. I'm sure there was some sequels in the 90s. They'll have to because Bobby Brown was in one. The Matrix. Is that 90s, yo? I think it was 99. So I was talking to my girl about some shit. I think it was 99. Google it, what's the Matrix? When did the Matrix came out? I mean, the Matrix was crazy. If that's 90s, forget it.

Yeah. White boys in the woods. The boys in the woods were already gone. The boys in the hood, it's kind of centered, not centered, but it starts off with them finding, you want to go see a dead body? Yeah. That was staring by me. Yeah. Wasn't it worth it going to see a dead body by the tracks if I'm not mistaken? Yes, I think so. Yeah. And then what was the Goonies, like another one like that, remember? The 80s. That was 80s. But like I'm trying to think of those movies like 90s. Various viewers day off. That's definitely the 80s.

What the fuck man Get a glizzy and enjoy your day, yo Okay, let's do one more. Oh, this is a good one Uh, jordan colby says biden again Our trump again. Whoa That's a tricky one, huh? Trump people start tearing themselves apart again. The country is just it's just the fucking animosity and the anger and the vitro people have That's just Fucking exhausting to live in to be honest with you. It's gonna be there. Whether it's trump or not though Say what it's gonna be there. Whether it's trump or not, but the temperature is much cooler with biden He's just he's just dead, but if he was it but like But the cool it's a cooler temperature in my opinion. Yeah You don't feel that no. Oh wow. I feel like it's much cooler. No You're lying Put it like this if that's the case then trump's not trump has never been the issue the whole country was on fire For like a year because the country's on fire Like we gotta stop acting like who's ever in the fucking white house Really addicted the country the country was on fire doing obama. The country was on fire doing the clinton's Man, yeah, I I promise you i'm watching this obama documentary yesterday The things they were saying and the doc is like they were saying yesterday The country's going into a recession and you know, nothing racism. Nothing changes. It's on repeat, bro That's why you gotta live your life. Do what duval does man Just live your life once you realize it doesn't change. It's all a game. I agree I'm plug. I agree get it in like I promise go home Everybody out there watch the obama doc is on hbo with three parts Watch that doc and listen to the rhetoric from the 90s when clinton was in office Listen to the rhetoric when obama was in office bush. Well, it all sounds exactly like it sounds now fighting for voting rights Uh, uh, uh, what the fuck did I have to say fighting for voting rights? Um, we're headed into a recession Uh, it's to say rovey way needs to be codified all in the same exact All in the same exact shit. Nothing has changed. So it's like biden again a trump again. Let's see Let's go autopilot for a while. We ain't try We ain't try that shit. Like let's go autopilot for a while. I think We kind of Yeah, I think we are an autopilot that the president really is just a figurehead But that's fine. You need somebody for us to be angry at you need somebody for us to blame We are kind of on autopilot. I promise you. Joe Biden or donald trump is not the blip this country Had all of it all Every president in the last however 20 years Has dealt with circumstances beyond their control. Yeah america created a system the system I believe Is not working for everybody the way that it should but that that's the point of the president A lot of people don't realize it the point of the president is for us to point the finger at and be like This is your fault even though this system has been put in place Right and the ship keeps moving no matter what right? Yes, so It's you get four years to be blamed or eight years to be blamed. Yes What you want and one thing obama kept saying in this documentary He was like, I hope none of y'all expect he's like, but he kept saying this I hope nobody believes that I'm going to change america in four years or eight years like he like he kept saying that What he had was hope That's and one reason I'm not even mad at obama after watching that doc is like That's really all he sold. Yeah. Hope is a drug, bro He called it the audacity Of hope that's literally all it was i'm gonna provide you hope It's the motherfuckers that say i'm gonna do this and i'm gonna do that and i'm gonna make this happen I'm gonna make this happen those the ones we get mad at because now you're like, why the fuck you lie to me, bro I'm gonna make you hope it will happen But he also ran on the slogan of change. Yeah So he said he said he said change we can believe in He didn't say I was going to actually make change He said this is change that i'm offering. Um, I'm offering another way But there was this guy on the doctor can't remember his name. He said, um man I forgot how he worded it, but he was like the The level of delusion you have to have To believe you could change america. No, not to change america to believe that White supremacy won't always be white supremacy because you know, bro. I spent a lot of his time not addressing White supremacy not addressing racism until he got caught up with the reverend jeremiah right thing And then he gave this whole speech on race, but it was interesting because they played a speech But they got guys like cornell westem Talking about the speech in real time and it was like he was lying right there You know i'm saying he shouldn't have said it like this because that's not true And I just found that's so interesting But it was like yo rock because of his experiences growing up with a white mother white grandmother like being half white Yeah, his experience with whiteness was different. Absolutely. So he saw white people in a totally different way Then probably every other minority and you can't be mad at him Not at all That's his experience he he experienced love from a white woman. Yeah The experience love from my imagine is white grandmother. It's probably hard to hate a group of people that are loving He also grew up in hawaii and I think this is really important for people understand White people are not the majority in hawaii and white people are How do I say this like kind of looked out their second tier in hawaii so and In hawaii barack passes as hawaii So he grew up in a place Where when people saw him they didn't see a black guy They're like, oh, that's that skinny samoan guy or that's that skinny hawaii guy. So he grew up as the majority And the accepted group. Yeah Even though his mother who raised him was white They call white people like hawalis over there, right? So it's like he had a very unique situation He wasn't the black guy that's walking in around the white neighborhood being looked at all the time and feeling like second-class citizen He's the black and white guy that's passing as hawaii and walking around hawaii. Like, oh, yeah, I'm normal Everybody accepts me. This is my people and they're treating you as if you are one of them and growing up in indonesia He said in indonesia. He was just american. Well, that that's probably the first time that he was like Oh, i'm an outsider outsider But either way he was still getting treated like an outsider. Yeah, he was american. Yeah But his experiences are are totally different But long story short, it don't matter who's in the white house. America been having the same old problems for a long And we will continue to have these same fucking problems That's why I can't wait to see who does win in 2024 Because then then people will probably really notice it like shit. They still talking about god damn the same shit Moody, right?
