How was it, man? It's dope, man, sold out. I thought I was gonna get the jitteries more, you know what I'm saying? I do shilts in them go up here and actually do this. Half of the water is on your shirt. It is. It is shilts. Were you in a wide shot for when that happened? That was so impressive, dude. Dude, that was, you were looking at him. I think y'all did that on purpose, man. The machine was loose. Oh, it was near the bottle. You were paying full attention to him as half the water was cascading down your shirt. That was so impressive. That was so impressive. Okay, tell us about your shirt. You thought you were gonna get the jitteries? I was gonna get like the butterflies, like when I used to play football and stuff like that. It was cool, it was all right. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't as nervous. I guess if I was up there by myself, I probably would have, but. How many times did Taylor come on stage? Answer the important question. How many times did Tee Diddy get all up in the video? She definitely had the emails. Everybody said, what's up Tee Diddy? She gotta make sure she have that. She didn't have a segment like being her. So I lost some money. Oh, hold on. She said start it off, what's up Tee? Everything, that's just the only way to get on the show. Actually, is it say Tee Diddy's name is at the email? No. It's only way, everybody know it too. They be like, oh, I won't you forgot. Hey Tee Diddy, that's the only way for me to get on. Okay, what's up y'all? You know what I'm saying? So I lost some bread. I thought she was gonna get her own little segment on the show, but she stayed back. She was cool. It was a really dope show. I saw her post. The first thing I saw her post was my live show sold out. It was my first live show sold out. I said, go ahead. That's her, that's her, man. It was her show, it was definitely her show because she came late and everything. L'Oreal like, where's this? Where's that? They like, where's Tee Diddy at? Oh, she out there getting ready. Make my goddamn late. She was getting ready. She was getting ready. What you mean? She was in a dressing room. The door was like, L'Oreal trying to get into the room. I'm not playing, y'all. I'm dead serious. I'm not playing. I'm dead serious. The door was in there, she had the people in there getting her done for the show. She was like, I didn't expect nothing else. What you mean getting her done for the show? What you mean she getting ready for the show? Make up and have? Yes. And stop playing. What are you talking about? You didn't expect anything else? No, I actually did. God damn it. I didn't expect nothing else either. Well, congrats on a great live show. Well done, Tee Diddy. How was the week? I think we know why we're here. Jesus. Why we here, bro? Definitely because of Jesus. I want to talk Rogan, man. Oh, shit. OK, that's old news, bro. It's definitely old news. It's definitely old news. I actually, I really liked what Indie Ari said yesterday. What did she say yesterday? Well, number one, she said she don't think Joe Rogan is racist. She just thought it was insensitive. And she said that she's not in the cancel culture. So what was her initial comments? Because I think that she's commenting her initial thing. She was like, take my stuff off Spotify. Yeah, and she expounded on that her initial comments was Spotify pays artists pennies, but pays Rogan a hundred million dollars and Rogan says things like this. She was like, it wasn't even just the COVID misinformation. Misinformation, I put that in air quotes. You know, it was his language around race. But what she said yesterday, it was real, man. She was like, yo, I don't believe in cancellation. I believe in curation. Meaning I chose to step away from Spotify because I don't want to be on a platform that supports that. And I'm like, yo, I mean, she said more than that, of course, y'all can, you know, insert it if you want. But I was just like, yo, that is, that's what everybody should do. We live in a cure ration culture. If you don't like something, just simply don't listen. And she said she's not in the censorship. And I, I'm gonna be honest, man. It's just, that's not even happened. I don't gotta be honest. It's the truth. If you're a radio personality, podcast, rapper, comedian, artist in general, anybody that does this for a living if you open your mouth and words come out for a living, you can't be for censorship. Yeah, that's correct. And if you are, if you are from a certain era, there is no way in hell you can look at Joe Rogan and be like, that's fucked up. That's what kills me about all of this. The lack of self-awareness that some people have, the hypocrisy that some people have. Did you see the YouTube live between Dave Portnoy? You know Dave Portnoy? Yeah, he runs Barstool. Yeah, so he did a YouTube live with the three dudes that I guess are running this company that populated the internet with the Rogan's video. So they were like sharing it with a bunch of, and I could be getting this wrong, so we'll give him if I get it wrong, but more or less they were involved in like sharing this with celebs and specifically targeting like black celebs, black entertainers, et cetera, kind of galvanized the internet and pushing. And he's doing this whole thing and they're like, nah, it's not our fault and freedom of speech, et cetera. And again, I could be getting this wrong, but towards the end he goes, now what if, so none of you guys, so the guy goes to Rogan, he goes, so to Portnoy, he goes, so you promised you'll never use the N-word ever, again, on broadcast, because Portnoy had sung it in a song or a couple of times, right? And he goes, yeah, I've already said I'm not gonna do that. And then Portnoy goes, do you guys promise you'll never use it again? And they're like, we never use it. And he goes, what if I said I had a text message from one of you guys, where you use the N-word and a text message. And they're like, that's never happened. What are you even talking about? And he goes, does one of you guys have a fiance named Lexi? Holy shit. Bro, this is happening live? Holy shit. Bro, this is happening live, dude. And they're like, what are you even talking about? And yo, these guys who are supposed to be on the same team supposed to be brother, the way that one dude dogged out his homie so fucking fast, he goes, well, that would be Jared's fiance. Wow. Immediately, bro. And then he's like, no, that never happened. And he goes, what if I have a text message where you use that in a text? So we started thinking about this. I mean, you were even hitting me up yesterday, like this, you know, you're gonna look back at everybody's shit. I was talking about this the other day, like, yo, if they just release the Call of Duty or Fortnite transcripts of these little 14-year-olds, all they need to do is release that shit and everybody, cancel culture's done, baby. They're the whole alphabet they saying. These little kids say everything. Let me run for interest on your anybody's phone. Sight over. You know what I'm saying? But you know, listen, I said it before and I said it again. I don't think there's ever room for a white person to use it and we're just simply because I don't think any of us should use it, but definitely a white person because it's just like, there's no upside to it. Yo, if you listen to Rogan, he agrees. Like there's this weird conversation that happened on the internet when we were calling out that this is like a clear hit piece on Rogan. Yes. And the people were saying, oh, it's a lot of white people out here justifying him using the N word. And it's like, Rogan doesn't even justify it. Rogan's like, I regret doing it. That's why I apologize. I wish I didn't do it. He didn't call anybody the N word. I mean, it's up to you guys to decide in what way it can be used and worse and not use it all, obviously. But like, but it's not like he was speaking about the word, right? He was speaking about the word. He was talking about titles of albums. He was quoting comedians. The Planet of the Apes thing was the worst one to me, but even when he says that's the most regrettable. But by the way, that was 12 years ago. We've all made fucked up jokes. Terrible jokes. I listen to Joe Rogan. I don't know him personally like you do. I met him twice, but I've been listening to him over a decade. The one thing I've always liked about Joe is his self-witness, right? So if you go back and watch The Planet of the Apes thing, even in that commentary, he literally goes, oh, my bad, that's fucked up. That was racist. And then he switches and starts talking about the love he was, how he loved being in that environment and how he enjoyed watching in the movie and that setting, whatever, whatever. But it's just like, man, the thing that really got me this week was just the lack of self-awareness of some people because I'm watching certain folks take him to task. And I'm like, bro, I've been following you for years. And what happened on Monday? Monday morning, literally, everybody started getting aired out. Everybody's, all of these different people started getting aired out. All of these different things they said on blogs back in the day, all these different things they said on television and comedy shows. The Young Turks thing was very interesting to me. You know what I mean? Because I fucked with the Young Turks. I'm still gonna fuck with the Young Turks, right? But it's like, you called it out and they came with their own N-word compilation on them, right? Theirs was wide, bro. And what was interesting, one of the anchors from the Young Turks doubled down and was like, whenever we used the N-word, we used it while we were quoting racists and they would like cancel us if you want. And I'm like, I don't think that was the way that should have been handled. And I'm sure she might have apologized by now. I don't know, I haven't seen it. But it's like, the thing Rogan did, Rogan didn't double down. He didn't triple down. Like, yo, I apologize. Yeah, I've been stopped using the word. I'm definitely gonna do better moving forward. The conversation I think we're not having is I saw people say like, you know, he caters to the right. I don't think he caters to the right. I think he's just the curious person who's willing to sit down with any and everybody. I think the problem is the left is made Rogan so radioactive that they're afraid to go sit down with him because they're afraid about the backlash they'll get from sitting down with him. Fouts? Oh, you're talking to this. Now you're talking to this. Absolutely. So they paint him as radioactive so that they don't have to talk about, you know what's so funny? The first time I went on Rogan, I literally said that. I was like, that's the strategy. Paint someone as radioactive, then you don't even have to talk to him. So now you don't even have to gauge in their course, I don't understand. Discourse, in the course. But like, you don't even have to have that. And not even debate, just like exchange ideas. Like, dude, I would love to see Fauci on Rogan. Shouldn't you? By the way, for somebody who has an audience that big. And if you think he's putting out misinformation, go sit with him. Damn, Fauci will go on every fucking podcast, every CNN show with half a million viewers, the guy's getting 11 million a day. Why would you not go on to the podcast? If you really cared about sharing information, especially if you cared about sharing information to the people that are most skeptical about what you're saying, if you truly cared about helping, you would go to the place where you could help the most people, right? That's why it's cap. 100%. Because one thing I also noticed about Rogan, if Rogan- Here she is! She did it! Peace, Chrissy. Hi! If Rogan knows about the information someone's talking about, he'll challenge them. Yes. You know what I mean? If he has an opposing view, he'll challenge them. I have not seen him have these people on his show and not challenged him. That's why I enjoy listening. Now, some people will say, if he doesn't know what he's talking about, he just listens to the person. That's what an interviewer is supposed to do. That's how it works. I get that all the time as a broadcaster. I'll be sitting and having a conversation with somebody. I'm listening to what the person has to say and then I see all the comments on YouTube, people challenging what the person said. Isn't that great? If I don't have the information, what am I supposed to do? I'm just a curious person who likes to sit and talk with people. It's not our fault. That these doctors and whoever else would rather go to Rogan, would rather go to the breakfast clubs, would rather sit on the view because the so-called experts on the CNNs and the Foxes and the MSNBCs, either they're not willing to engage with these people, they don't have to reach. I don't know what it is. Or they're not allowed. Or they're towing the company line and they're seeing exactly what the company wants them to say. Right? Remember when we were about to run out of masks in the beginning? Yeah. Right? And they said, you don't need a mask. Fauci said it. Literally Fauci. And why do you say that? Not because you need to need one because they were like, hey, we need to save all the masks for the hospital people. So don't go out and buy all the masks. So if we know that they're willing to quote, unquote, misinform. Yeah, for the better for them. For what they believe is the benefit. I'm not even saying misinformed for bad reasons. I think a lot of times government misinforms because they're like, if we told them the truth, truth, they wouldn't do it. So it's almost like with your kids, right? It's just like, you got to brush your teeth. Why? Or your teeth will fall out. They ain't really going to fall out. But I got to tell you that. So you take this shit seriously. Hey, the global warming. You got to take this seriously. Why? Because in 20 years, we're all going to be under water. Yeah. Oh, shit. I plan on being here in 20 years. I guess I got to take this seriously. We're not going to be under water in 20 years. Listen, I agree with all of that. And I also think sometimes they just don't know the truth. Yeah. They really just don't know. So it's like, there's things Dr. Fauci said two years ago that would be considered misinformation now. When he went out there and said nobody should wear a mask, whatever, whatever, only doctors and stuff should wear masks. That could be considered misinformation now. Also, you don't think Dr. Fauci said an M word, brother? The guy's an 80-year-old. Not one. Not one? Bro, why would he say that? At least eggplant. At least. Eggplant. What, a mullinian? What? A mulli? Yeah. It's always called me a fucking mulli. I just say, yeah. You don't know what that is? Yes, I do. I didn't know what that was. Black, what was that? It's what Italians would call black people. Mullinian means eggplant in Italian. Yes. Eddie Murphy had that hilarious skit. The mulli's going to pay for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I've been saying all week my thing is, I'm not in no moral position as a broadcaster to have an opinion about Joe Rogan. And I'm going to tell you something. The reason I'm going to be consistent in my message, and the same reason I'm consistent in all my messages when it comes to any of this stuff, is because this can happen to any of us at any given time. This will happen to your favorite person. This will happen to the person that you love. This will happen to that person that you think is so great. One of my favorite things to do is letting people tail his age, or even though tail is getting up there, letting people tail his age, letting people nile his age, 30, 20 something here, stuff from our era. They can't believe it. That's like I used to be. Like they literally cannot believe the things that comedians used to say, the things people used to rap about, the things that used to be in movies. It's unbelievable to them. I was watching the old Howard Stern sketch. Wow. Let me tell you how ill Howard is. Howard went on to view in 2019. I can't believe that. Alex said he couldn't believe. How old are you, Alex? 33. 33. But this is the ill part. When Howard went on to view in 2019, Sonny was like, you know, he used to really have some real offensive stuff on your show back in the day. He used to use the N word all the time. Howard goes, I did not. He goes, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I did not use the N word. I used to have a character on there who was a member of the KKK. He used to use the N word. And then whoever did it, slices the video to Howard with the black face on, pretending to be Ted Danson. And he got George Jefferson Sherman, him pretending to be Whoopi Goldberg. He led so many N words. Oh my, yo, it got uncomfortable. What do you call, what do you call a black pilot? A N word. Whoa. What do you call a black astronaut? A N word. You smell the N word. And I'm like, shit. Yeah, it's kind of like. He was actually pushing the line and using the word in a really negative context. Now let's give context to this thing. It made me feel uncomfortable watching, but the context is Ted Danson, who was dating Whoopi Goldberg, went to Friar's roast in blackface. And what Howard was basically saying is, Ted, it is racist what you did. And we're gonna show how racist it is by creating the exaggerated version of it. Absolutely. So he basically gets a, he thinks he can get away with it. No, again, again. He thinks he can get away with it. He could in that era. And in that era. You know how you know he could? He did. He did, exactly. That's my point. Have y'all seen a Carlin bit about the N word? Yes. That is. I've seen Louis D. K. No, no, the Carlin one is the wildest one. And the rest of me is Carlin, but he. No, I do remember, but I can't remember. I just remember him saying it. He basically says this. He says the point is like, a word by itself is nothing, right? It is the context of the word. Who is saying the word? Like the N word by itself is nothing, but the racist redneck saying it makes it bad. Right? And he goes, that's why black people can say the N word. Right? Or that's when he goes, that's why Richard Pryor and Lala can say the N word. Right? Because then he goes, because they're N words. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're allowed to because we know that they don't hate other black people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's why I guess it's okay. He's trying to make the point, but he like drops it and. Hardy are. I don't even know the word, but like it was, it's just wild. Like, what was happening at this time? Were we just not asking black people how they felt about it? Was that real? Like low key, because here's the thing. I was thinking about this. I was like, when I was younger in high school, we read Huckleberry Finn. Oh yeah. Out loud. Yeah. Every kid with a paragraph. Yeah. A paragraph. And I went to a diverse high school, right? So like, you're just seeing if your paragraph got an N word. And the teacher basically, the teacher basically said, yo, if you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Right? So these poor Asian kids, who their first generation, they don't even know what most of the words mean. Like they're reading it. They're just sounding shit out. Like you just reading the Spanish billboard. Bro, I swear to God. I said, I swear to God, I'm not like, I swear to God, I'm not like, but I can't say the N words. But they were literally, and we would calculate it. We'd be like, oh yeah, that's got a bunch of N words right there. That's a paragraph with Jim. Him saying that shit, right? And then boom. And then we're calculating, we're counting the people. Oh my God. Oh shit, it's on, it's on Lou or whatever the fuck the guy said. And bro, he would hit that shit. And you know how they would have the slang N word in it? Yeah. Because it was like a Southern slang. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was almost like he was making fun. Mark Twain. Bro? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nothing funny in your whole life than that. Nothing funny in an Asian kid who barely speaks English, just dropping hard N bombs in a class of 30 people. Even the black kids were dying laughing. They're like, this isn't racist. This guy doesn't even know. You know, it's dying. But the era we grew up in, man, it wasn't just the N word though. It was the slurs towards women. It was- What is that? All of the B word. What's the B word? I'm not saying it. Broccoli. Broccoli. Broccoli, exactly. These broccolis. You know what I'm saying? But it was all like every slur that was used for anybody was throwing around. We're not gonna equate the B word with the N word, man. I mean- I still like the B word. Listen, I'm with you, but I'm not a woman. Say what? A woman. Yeah. A woman takes the B word the same way we take the N word. No, stop it. It is, it is. Because girls can say it. I don't call- We can't say it. I don't like, no, I don't call my girls like bitches like that. I don't believe that. No, look, if I do- Let me see your phone. Let me see your phone. She's definitely calling it. Do you have a fiancee? Do you have a fiancee named Lexi? I don't always say, I don't always say girl before I say bitch. Before you say bitch. Christy, do you believe that? How do I ever call you a bitch? Thank you. Don't die of me. I don't believe that. Why do you not believe that? I don't believe it. I don't believe it. But if a guy calls me a bitch, he's already getting slapped. Like- Really? What if he's describing your behavior? What if he's describing your behavior? Is he acting like that? What if he's acting like that? No, I'm not a female fucking dog. Well, who knows what if you're at a music festival and there's no place to take a piss? He barks. He's outside somewhere. Yeah, shut the fuck up. You can't be a yo, you're pissing like a bitch. You can't say that. You can't say that. That's context. That's context, right? But you're not going to take it like that. And same thing with the gay slur. Gay slur, you can't, that hits a gay person in a different way. My point is, everybody used to throw their language around. Oh, dude. In the era we grew up in, everybody threw it around. It was out there. Our guy, Neil Brennan, said, I was talking to Neil this week. Neil was like, yo, man, what happens when your F tape drops? Because you were like, if you came up in a certain era, everybody got an F tape. I can go to so many rappers and just pull up when they was throwing the F word around. The gay slur just throwing it around, throwing it around, throwing it around. And by the way, we didn't say it in reference to gay people. Yeah. You know what I mean? Online. We did say it in reference to each other. Yeah, but you never called a gay person that. They were like, yo, you acting like a B word. Like, yo, you acting like, you acting like a, you know what I mean? Like what? A female dog. Shut up, man. I don't know what, let's go on. Nutri-assured destruction. Nutri-assured destruction. That's what it is. Yo, literally, everybody just gotta come out and say it all at the same time. Just drop it all on the table. Everybody put your shit out, yo. So let's get it over. Once everybody got nuclear weapons, we stopped going to war. You right? Everybody gotta drop it. But everybody gotta go. One, two, three. Now you are explode. Nah, here's the thing, here's the thing, here's the thing. What I text you, you can't text you, remember when you were telling me all the videos of all the people who said that. And what I text you? I don't remember. I said, I'm a hero. Oh, this guy's still stuck. I'm a hero. Oh, I've been stuck. He said all these white people were dropping to N-word. He said, and then he goes, I'm a hero. I've never dropped it not once. You're so bad. But because you're dropping to New York. What's that? You're dropping to New York and you're younger. Yeah. And y'all are scary. That's how more racism doesn't work. No, that sounds like the truth, though. That's how more, that's how more racism. I bet you, that's how more racism doesn't work. Yo, I bet you a white person can be racist without it. There's levels to this racism, guys. No, you're right. Shit. I can't stop me now. You gotta appreciate the people who actually say it because they're the ones who's showing that they're racist. All the people that's not saying it. They really say, they really racist. Angela, you asked me a question, is we going to the perfect question. What did she ask you? What did she say? She said, can you use a slur and not be whatever the slur you use? Like, so if I use a, if I say the N-word, does that make me racist? If I use a slur towards women, does that make me misogynistic? No. No. And if that's the case, there's so many people that we got to check off. That means that every single person that's ever used a gay slur is homophobic. Even if you're like in your rap, whatever, your comedy, whatever. Any person that's ever used a negative term towards women is homophobic misogynistic. Anyone who's ever said- Oh, you don't love her. The N-word is racist. Like, and by the way, man, if you want to go down the list, the wife- Yo, let's go down the list. Yeah. Where do you want to start? You want to start with Joe Biden. Joe Biden said the N-word, the person? 1985 Senate hearing. What? I said it to you. 1985 Senate hearing. He's quoting somebody. What did he say? Why didn't he keep trying to get away with that shit? I'll let you hear it. Just because you quote somebody, you get to get away with it? He's quoting somebody. I'll send it to Taylor Taylor. I can assert it. Doesn't even look like Biden, by the way. It's 1985. Why'd you do this? It was a stunt. I wasn't even born. Why do y'all have people on age? That's the weirdest thing to me. It does not look like- Y'all do that about everyone. I saw somebody say that. That's racist. That's racist because white people age worse. Y'all don't go that far. You said it. That's racist. When you share the fucking cocoa butter, when you even taste them, keep it on your product to yourself. Whatever. Were you born in 1985? No. Exactly. Jesus Christ. So Joe Biden said it in 1985. You know. M&M says it in a freestyle. Justin Bieber said it. But that was wild. Howard Stern, Vince McMahon, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon looked at John Cena and said, what's up? Here. Then turned to Booker T and his wife. Bro. He said, what? But he walked off. The funniest thing is, do you remember when Booker T said it and then caught himself and felt bad? Booker T said it? Yeah, there's a Booker T. Is it Black? Yes, he is Black. But he said he was, something had dropped it and he was like. He probably didn't want to sit in front of old white people. I get it. But isn't it funny that Vince McMahon was like, let's write this script for him. That's what I'm saying. He was part of this sketch. How he got less hair? That's him in the back, bro. 85, Joe Biden was 57. Oh, dude. That's him in the back? No, that's him right there, man. Is this one right here? I would never know that was him. You're right. If you Google Joe Biden, then where it'll come up. But who else? I did. I was just saying. Listen, Larry David, you're not gonna sit here and tell me you didn't laugh at the Kirby enthusiasm stuff. He said it? What do you mean? Larry David has one of the best sketches when he walks in and he's trying to explain to his white friends what somebody said to him. And he says it. And when he says it, Biblical Fox walks out the room and she goes, what the fuck did you just say? And him and Biblical and J.B. is moving on. Yeah, that's it right there. You should put white people in words. How do I know? I said it just Biden. No, that's it right there. No, I'm trying to disagree. Listen. Listen, by the way, I'm not making noise. Use this for, hold on. As the governor of the court concludes, you never heard this? The governor's opposition to the Nunez plan was predicated in significant part on his delineation of majority black district centered in Orleans Parish in a confidential portion of your staff memo. They brought to your attention the allegation that important legislators and legislators in defeating the Nunez plan in the basement said, quote, we already have a nigger mayor. We don't need any more nigger big shots in the court cited evidence of discriminatory intent on the part of because he's being critical of this person who said that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That they're willing to say his quote. But by the way, I remember during his during the campaign. Yeah, people cut that and threw it out into the ecosystem. You know what I mean? To take it out of context. So I'm not making any excuses for, you know, white people using the N word. All I'm simply saying is what are the rules? You know what I mean? There was a time in the 90s. There was a time in even the early 2000s where everybody was getting away with saying and doing a lot of wild shit in the sake of comedy and the sake of music and the sake for the sake of entertainment and the art. We know better do better. Shit changed. Yeah, I hear changed. And by the way, that was that I would assume that was that was extremely risky for a white community. I would assume only like the the ones that were really willing to take it there would do stuff like the same way. Same way now, people look at us, Dave Chappelle, and you're like, man, for him to be talking about the LGBTQ community in that way, that's like really edgy in this era. Right. I think it would be the same for. But if somebody catch him outside, there's up to him. I'm saying just like a white person. If you want to save you want to get punched in the mouth is all up to you in context. Whatever you want to do is all the pencil. Who's there? The white guy done that to you before? Yeah. Recently. Couple of times. Recently. Last year. And I was I talked to him. I told him right now. So you don't say I say you don't say who is it? I'm not going to say who it was, but it's one of our partners. He was talking, but he was quoting. Yes, I'm saying he was throwing something. Somebody's he was actually quoting what Pops said in the 90s. Somebody else to another one. He was quoting what Pops said in the 90s in regards to stopping frisk. I wasn't playing close. Yeah. It's something it was something it was one of them. And he was quoting why if Eric Adams brings it back, it won't work. This was going to happen because that's how it was. That's right. And he was he was quoting. Yo, I always tell you all this stuff about we was in West Virginia. Our gosh, God bless the day. Yeah. I had that motherfucking ski mask on and Shane turned around. He was red as fuck and he yelled. He said, Charlemagne, don't go in that goddamn store with that mask on. You are N-word in West Virginia. They'll kill you dead. If he would have said it any other way, you probably wouldn't try and brush it off. Yeah. But I heard the urgency in his face. That it are a strut. And it is when you say the N-word in this era, you don't know if somebody really just said the N-words. You know what I mean? But when you hear somebody say, you're like, whoa. I see me going out with this. Yeah. And also, I remember another thing in Duvall to tell you this. I remember being in West Virginia in Simpsonville with Shane and all his friends, his friends are considered rednecks. And me and Duvall using the word. One of the rednecks said, man, I got a friend, man. His name's Jermaine, man. You know, he's African-American. He wouldn't like that. I think y'all need to stop using that word. Y'all making me uncomfortable. Yeah, that's cool. You would have thought he would have been one of the main ones. Like dropping the word. But he's telling me, Duvall, I'm like, I have respect. I don't like the word. I'm going to be honest with you. I personally don't like the word. And the reason I don't like the word is because I use it in content. I don't use it as a term of indipence. Yeah, yeah. When I use it, I don't talk the N-words after five years. Yeah, yeah. And I mean ignorant people of all races. Yeah. I don't use it as a term of indipence. I don't like the word. It's not a term of indipence. You know what I'm saying? I never use it bad. What do you mean? If I'm going to use something bad, I'm going to come get you. I'm going to fuck you up or I'm going to say something else. Me saying that to a guy, that's really a dude at the end of the day when they come to us, is really nothing. You know what I'm saying? But you got to, I don't know. I just think I'm not bad at you. I'm going to say that. So fuck, I'm saying that for. I just feel like you're a nerd. You're not saying that. It's so easy to not say it. You're not going to make me mad off that. As a white dude, it's very easy not to say it. I've never said it. I hang out with you guys all the time. You guys sometimes say it. I do not say it. It is very easy to not say it. So I understand that people say it to be provocative, et cetera. It's I don't know, maybe since I've had more black friends have like seen people say it or they've told me about people saying it to them in like a hurtful way. Maybe it changes things. You ever see somebody get punched in the mouth by saying it? No. No, not on video, maybe. What about my cracker? What's that? You offended it? Cracker. Nobody can. That shit don't slap me. The way you offend white people, I'll be honest with you. Like, because I know that people want to know how to do this. It's the way you offend white people is you inconvenience us. We look at inconvenience as an attack. This is what Karenism is all about. That's all it is. I mean, this here and here, like so like non white people and also like poor white people don't count in this. Poor white people are inconvenienced all the time. So like, they're OK with it. Like Trailer Park, people don't like fucking go Karen ever, right, because they understand like fuck. But middle class to rich white people. Yeah, an inconvenience to them is an attack. If you're a minority, you get inconvenience all the time. Somebody follows you around a store. You're like, motherfucker, pills you over for no reason. You're like, motherfucker. So you don't care in about things like that because you're used to inconvenience rich, especially rich white people. I live in a building. It's fucking all these like super rich white people. Right. And if one thing goes wrong in the building, they fucking lose their mind. There's a whole text thread that we're all on, which just been complaining. They just complain and I watch these people complain. Oh, the elevator button was a was it was really going on. What's that? Did you know what they used to break papers in college? What do you mean? You know, Adderall's. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I could see that and that making them like a little bit more like ornery or whatever. But I think there's one word that pisses white people off. What's that race? Yeah. Well, if you actually call a white person a racist, our cues, a white person of racism, even if they even if what they did is an extreme act of racism, they will lose their mind. I fucked the black guy before. What they say, they say that by the way, y'all going to need something else other than my best friends of black. That may be a good one. I mean, both both you use. Yeah. If you get caught out there doing something racist, you say, we're like, I fucked the black guy before. That'll change the conversation. OK, but it's like because we love doing that. That is that is a great point. Racism. No, no. But racism, yeah, that is one thing. Because on the radio, mayonnaise pisses people off. It used to be the funniest shit in the world. People would call the front desk and leave all of these complaints about me calling them mayonnaise. Like, and I used to describe it. I'd be like, yo, mayonnaise, you just don't need a lot of it. Too much of it ruins anything. You need just enough to have the best tuna fish. You know, the best potato salad. But it was like, why does he keep referring to us as mayonnaise? Like, it'd be the funniest shit. Now you see how I look now. You see how I look now? Uh-uh. Oh my gosh. I don't pay attention to what you say. You see the things at the office? Oh, yeah, because it spoiled. Because I used to always have a jar of mayonnaise in there. And I would put it slamming on the desk. Listen, I totally understand why people don't like me. All right. I never thought about it. You never think about it. It's like I really used to fuck with people and add to take people still do, but really in a real way. Now, on TV, cracker does piss people off. My IMDB rating is like one something and literally every comment is because of the crack every single one. I don't think with you, it's the word. I think you, it's the generalization. And I think white people don't like unfair when it affects them. I think white people, we ignore unfair if it puts us at some sort of advantage or puts someone else at a disadvantage. And I think most people do that in general, right? But when we're, but when, for example, you're like de-crackification and crack this, whatever, they're going, wait a minute, why is this guy allowed to generalize on all white people? If I was to generalize on black people, I would be called racist. But I don't, I'm very specific. I know you are. Good white people? Sure. But like what they're viewing is, oh yeah, but if I was to speak about black people, that is unfair. I'm going to point that out. True. That's what you just said. Oh, what Andrew just said is another good point. That's what we don't talk about enough either. What's that? Sometimes people are just mad about the power that somebody else has. Yeah. Literally. I'm going to challenge it. Literally. I keep hearing the thing about people like, why does Whoopi get suspended? But you know, Joe doesn't. It's because Joe's a white man and Whoopi's a black woman. Nah, it's because of the companies they work for. Yeah. To me, that's what I think. Because this ABC is a really no-nonsense company. It's the same company that fired Roseanne Barr, you know, two years ago, right? From the comment she made about, I think it was Michelle Obama or Valerie Jarrett or something like that. Spotify is a different type of medium. They're a different type of entity. If Spotify gets in the censorship business, how much music do they got to remove? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Forget the voices. How much music would they have to remove? I think it was Spotify who tried to do that with, they did try to make a stand against XXXTENTACION or somebody and it kind of like backfired against them. It's just like, yo, these companies like that cannot get into the censorship business. But it's not like it's still costing them because they said they're going to give up $100 million. Yeah. You know what I mean? Also, the views show is about censorship, right? It's like every day these four women are just yapping about how people should get canceled because they said something wrong. One of them said something wrong and it's like, yo, that's your bed lying it. Yeah. You can't go on there every single day and talk about how these people need to get out of here. You can't act like this. And then you say some wild shit. And low key, she said some wild shit, right? It's like, what she said, like the Holocaust wasn't about Jews, it was about people. The Holocaust wasn't about race. It wasn't about race. It was about people. But that's just historically inaccurate. And I've been trying to explain to people. That's like people saying like 9-11 was an attack on New York. It was an attack on America. It's like, was it? Kind of seemed like an attack on New York, fam. What you just said is perfect. Because what she said is wrong, right? The Holocaust was absolutely about race. But then she goes into the whole, you know, if we were just better people, if people had more humanity, things like this wouldn't happen. Sure. Hold on, she gotta suspend it for that. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hush, hush. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't even start, don't even start. But I really love Black people, though. A lot of Black people, including me, when I think of race, I really think of just Black and white. I'm not thinking of going into it. That's ridiculous. But why? That's what we're taught in the race. No one knows. So do you, Krisny. Exactly. You ain't, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. As a Black woman, how can you not see somebody? As much as y'all complain about not being seen. I look at Spanish people as much as we are. So that's not true though. So look, I know she is. But I'm saying she's also my. That's a racial. Amongst them, I don't know. She's among minorities, though, right? She's still Spanish. So Taylor, this is important. This is important. Let me explain real quick. I know this sounds ridiculous. It sounds all like fucking racist. They're going to do good with races, though. Keep that in mind. I know, I know. But here's the thing. I know it sounds ridiculous and fucking woken, whatever, but just trust me. But I'm saying it's ignorant of me. No, no, I know. True. Let me just say one thing. Let me just say one thing. Race we know now is made up. There's no genetic characteristics that define race. We've made up. It's a social country. It is. I can't believe us and a brilliant idiot. Use the woke language. It's a social country. It literally a guy in Sweden has just as much in common with a guy in Ethiopia genetically, right? Actually, maybe more in common than that Ethiopian has with a guy from Cameroon, right? They've done these studies. That's crazy. So there's no actual, like, genetic distinction. But once you start the slippery slope of, like, we've created races, it's not really up to us to stop it. For example, a Spanish person can look whiter than me blonde hair, blue eyes. And I'm sure you have maybe, I don't know, a part of Puerto Rican or something like that, Dominican. So I'm sure you've met a Dominican that's got fucking blue eyes, blonde hair. What are you going to say? Right? Careful now. Everybody calm down. Calm down, man. Calm down, man. Calm down. I'm getting married. What? I'm getting married. OK, good, good, good, good. Good, good, good, good, good. One last hurrah. But, like, you've seen all different, quote-unquote, races of Dominicans, like we've all seen. You've seen Dominicans that are black, and then you've seen Dominicans that look white. But we go, Spanish is a race. Right now, also, like, go. Come on the mic. Come on the mic, Chrissy. Come on, come on, come on. There you go. Hola. Stop. Go, go, go. I don't see Spanish as a race only because I feel like when you have to choose a race, Hispanic is not an option. But you're Dominican. Dominicans are race, right? Yes, but it's a whole nother question, and I actually get a friend. I got a friend another day. My just had a daughter five months ago, and I have to fill out her passport application. And for race, I couldn't put that she was Hispanic. You're going to say, but really? Why, though? You cannot. It's not an option. It's African-American. There's Caucasian. There's whole non-Hispanic. And then there's other. So I always put other. But it bothers me because I'm like, I couldn't even put them. I don't see Hispanic. I thought Hispanic was on it. No, why did they do that? They used to do Hispanic, and then. Non-Hispanic. Then there used to be Hispanic white, and then non-whites. So what is Spanish? So you put other? I put other. Spanish on there? And then you got to fill it in? No. And I actually, I don't even put Hispanic. I put Dominican. Yeah. So here's a perfect example. We look at Asian as a race, right? But now you also have Indians. Indians aren't black. They aren't white. They aren't Asian. They're kind of their own people. So you go, OK, here's your own people. Mexicans are different than Dominicans, right? You're like, oh, they're kind of their own race. Native Americans were like, oh, I guess they're their own race. What is Akash? Akash is Indian. OK. So Desi, that they would call themselves like Desi people, Pakistani, Indian, and so on. And then Arabs, right? You look at people in the Middle East. You're like, oh, they're their own thing as well. Once we start inventing all these groups and all these, like, art types of people, I don't think that we can close the door if Jews won't identify as their race. But Jews, just like Spanish people, have a bunch of different, quote-unquote, races within their race. My buddy Dove, you guys have all met Dove, is from Africa. He's Moroccan, right? If you look at Jews that maybe Whoopi Goldberg's talking about, the Jews that were in Germany at the time, you're like, yo, they look whiter than Schultz. You're right. But the problem with what Whoopi Goldberg said is there is historical context to it. You cannot say the Holocaust was not about race, regardless of how you view them, when the reality is, Adolf Hitler literally was killing them because he thought they were an inferior race. Was it his words? Yes. And by the way, it's not your place to say if she said anything bad because you're not Jewish. I know, but I don't think she was trying to erase the Jewish, like... She did. Even though she may not have been Jewish. But that's what I'm saying. She wasn't trying, so that's what I'm saying. Tell me what year World War II started. If you don't know, we're not having a conversation. I'm not having a conversation. Exactly. That is like, everybody got a fucking point of view, and they don't know shit, so just like, done. I ain't done. I can't tell you shit. I just thought that World War II was more. That's real though. I just hope we get back to a moment. And that's why I hope, and I told Andrew this this week, I said, I really feel like this situation might cancel, cancel culture. Joe Rogan's situation. Bro, yeah. And the reason I said that is because I think everybody got to step back and realize we all got some shit with us. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And I think that we all have to get to a point where we understand context matters, intention matters, timing matters. Timing might be the most important one. Like, yo, we got three people performing at the Super Bowl this weekend. That have all dropped hard, hard F-bombs. Hard. Listen, do you understand why this is the first time this is happening? Talk to me. Because 25, 30 years ago, it would be unheard of. And the social media, though. It would be unheard of. So the fact that this weekend, Dr. Dre Snoop Dogg. Yo, in Eminem are getting a chance to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. I'm waiting on the backlash. Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick, no. Kendrick is good. Trust me. Kendrick is a choir boy. But who is these people? Who is the people that's mad? I don't. We never know who these people are. That's what they say. Hey, you say fuck day until they put that compilation video together. Don't be talking about that. I don't like that. Yeah. Sure. And also, the moral of the story is there's definitely a price to everything that comes out of your mouth. I keep trying to tell you. And we ideally will continue to lower the price. No. Well, once it's mutually assured destruction, right? Like, and again, I don't know. I operate in a different field, right? I'm a comedian. So everything that I say, including and usually the most offensive things, the intent is laughter. Like, I'm like, how can I, you know, walk this fine line and say this thing that's kind of fucked up? Joe, over the comedian. Exactly. And that's why I judge Joe as a comedian, right? I judge him as a comedian and broadcaster. Yeah, which is a very interesting combination. Too many things. And that stuff. And you're you fall on that line. So I know you don't identify as a comedian, but us comedians often identify you as a. A trans comic. There we go. No, no, no, no, no, for real. Not for real. Like, because I think that's one of the things that always got you in trouble, initially, is that I think you had a lot of respect for stand-ups. You're like, I'm not a comedian. I'll tell jokes. I tell the truth, right? Oh, yeah. But you, right? Great branding at the time, though. Great branding. Great branding at the time. But as a comedian, I'm watching them like, these are jokes. I know what a joke is because I do jokes for a living, right? And I always wonder, I'm like, man, I wonder if he was like, yo, I tell jokes. This is what I do. I joke around. If these things would be taken way less literally. You absolutely right. No. Because that's what I would always say. Nobody would get cracked on still. We could have, but like, at least in my community of comedians, that's how we view you. It was the people I was cracking on, though. Yeah, so I was always saying. Cracking on people who don't want to play. Who ain't playing? We love them. Who ain't playing? That's the most funny. Love that. Like, that's the thing, like, and that's the thing about comedy. Like it could be like the the whitest, like, nerdiest comedian, but they knew who you were. And that's how I knew you were transcending, like, not just like hip hop culture or even mainstream culture. Like, that's how I knew, like, you were getting into, like, comedy culture. Because we're just finding what's funny. If you like funny things, if you're a comedian, you just value funny, whether it's some lady falling down. You know what I mean? Or it's somebody, like, being hilarious on a radio show. So we were watching this for comedy purposes. And when we saw people taking it seriously, it was like, oh, yeah. Man, you know who treats me like that now? You know who treats me like that hip hop community used to treat me? Politician. They're the ones that's hitting my line, man. Really? Yes, they're the ones that's upset about things not saying about them. It's so interesting. Like, even this morning, I'm getting texts about such and such, I'd like to talk to you about the misinformation about Joe Biden and the crack pipes. I'm like, I haven't said anything about it. So it's almost like it's a preemptive strike, right? You know what I'm saying? It's the most like, I'm like, I haven't said anything. We got to talk about them crack pipes. Listen, I read, listen. I don't believe. Here's the thing. And this. I think you know condoms, though. You know what? Let's pay the bill. Let's pay some bills and come back and talk about it. Why? What's up? OK, fine. Yeah, let's pay the bills and come back and talk about it. This episode is brought to you by Crystalene Crackpipes. Actually, it's brought to you by BET's real husband as a Hollywood.

The Live Aid Benefit Africa and the Bombing a Move. You know, Move, they were a group of Black citizens attempting to create an African-style community. And yeah, it was created and co-produced by our guy, Chris Moreau. So it talks about all those events. A lot of great Philadelphia legends are on that. Unleashed for Love. That's a scripted comedy series starring my good sister, Alicia Renee. Y'all know I love Leash, man. I love Leash so much. Leash has been working on this project for like seven years. Her and Serita, you know? So that's something that's coming later this year. And Broke Down Profits, a scripted thriller created and written by best-selling author, Sean Crosby. OK, he wrote Blacktop Wasteland, Rage of Blade Tears. Those are all number one New York Times bestsellers. So yeah, just look out for everything we're putting out on SBA's productions this year via Audible, man. And can I say for the Black Effect hats, please just send me a name and address. I don't need no one to ask me, hey, can I get a black? I'm not going to answer. Just send the address and name. That's it. Just send the address and name. Hold on. Let me make sure I said Serita's name, right? Because I'd be mispronouncing people's names. Serita. Yes, Serita. Because you know, people want their credit, as you can see. With Taylor sitting to my left. People want their flowers. And they deserve all creators, deserve their motherfucking flowers. OK, we are nothing without the creators. Now, let's talk about what was we going to talk about? What do we say we want to talk about? The crack pipes. Oh, yes. What do y'all think that was? What do you think that was? I looked it up. And basically, they're saying that using these old crack pipes can cause a lot of cuts and infection. It's part of the harm reduction program. Right. Yes. Anybody got played that part? They're also, I imagine, doing other things outside of crack pipes. I imagine maybe a new needle. Oh, no, that's the other thing. They're hoping that by using crack pipes, they don't use needles. And needles is what spreads disease even quicker. The purpose of the program is to support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe service programs, and other harm reduction services. That's what the grant says. The funding will be used to enhance overdose and other types of prevention activities to help control the spread of infectious diseases and the consequences of such diseases for individuals with or at risk of developing substance use disorders. And it specifically outlines syringes and safe smoking kits supplies as an approved use of federal funds. Right. Here's my problem with Democrats. OK. Why do they get mad at us? Because their messaging is terrible. Like, they're acting like that language is not in there. I think that Snopes.com said it the best when they fact-checked it. They said that the story of the Biden administration spending $30 million on cracks pipes is mostly false, which is true. That is true. It's mostly false, right? But it is true that the grant description required the provision of smoking kits and established component of harm reduction strategy. But in reality, those kits constituted just one of several subcomponents of an even longer list of requirements for grant recipients. In other words, while outraged media coverage focused almost exclusively on crack pipes, this was actually only a very small part of the program. That's true. So why are they mad at us? Because that language is in this grant. Yeah. That's not our fault. Yeah. That easily can be taken out of context. Yeah. There is nuance to it. It's not a $30 billion program for crack pipes. But there's a few million for crack pipes. Yeah. Do you rather crack pipes, though? I'd rather get them crack pipes because them needles is really out of control. Yeah, maybe that's it. I just wonder if you were a cracker and you saw someone using a government-issued crack pipe, if you would judge them for that. They're like getting weed from the dispensary. I can tell the dispensary back for them to my bag in the street. Ah, I see. I'm looking at it as like, you know, we all know that in every household, they are telling their kids, do not have sex, do not have sex. Then you go to school and they get a bunch of condoms. I think this is that same thing. But those condoms are trash. I remember New York was giving out them condoms. You remember the NYC subway condoms? Those condoms. It's tuxedos. Too small? They tuxedocond. But I think that's the exact same thing what they're doing with these crack pipes. You know what I'm saying? It is the problem with all of this, right? Number one, if this administration had done what they said they were going to do for black people, like pass voting rights, like let's just say pass voting rights and pass the George Floyd police. Those are two tangible things that people can look at and say, oh, you know what, that's going to impact black people. But when you have an administration that hasn't done what they said they're going to do for black people, and then this comes out. And you read that the grant serves historically underserved communities, which we know that's black, right? And the underserved community part comes from the advanced racial equity funding. So when you read, when you can put two and two together and be like, wait a minute, y'all giving out syringes and smoking kits under something that's part of an advanced racial equity funding is so easy for somebody to take all of that messaging and mix it up and put it out there and make it seem like they're giving out crack pipes as part of a racial equity funding. But who's fault is that? Yeah. Yeah. Y'all who ever wrote this shit and put it out there? Don't even, yeah, don't even mention crack pipes. Just be like, hey, we're trying to make it safer for addicts. That's all you have to do. They call it smoking kits supply. Don't even say anything about it. We're trying to make things safer for addicts. And then just put that up. Dude, my fear is that like a lot of this, a lot of this distraction is wrapped up into the Dems knowing that they're going to lose the midterms. And I think part of that is like the Rogan hip pieces baked into that as well. I just think that they haven't done anything, they haven't delivered on any of their promises. So the best that they can do right now is just distract. Give you other things to be upset about. So we can't look at them and go, hey, why didn't you pass the George Floyd Act? Why didn't you do the, what is the other one you were saying? Black voting. I mean, voting rights. For the voting thing, yeah. You talk about them losing the midterms. Yeah. Y'all aren't even doing anything to protect our voting rights. The problem that we have, I think, as just like people in general is we think that politicians will do anything for us. I don't think politicians will do anything but for us besides take more of our money. That's the only thing that I think that they're good for. It's just how can they find more ways where we can give them money that they can then waste? We have to take care of ourselves. And by that, I mean, literally, organize. If we're poor, we have to organize so many people that we combined are rich. And that's essentially what unions are, right? Like a union has a lot of power because it's a bunch of poor people together going, yo, you think you have all the powers of billionaire? Well, all of us together were worth a billion. Now we can play ball. Or we got to get rich people to side with our problems and then the rich people put pressure on the powers of B, et cetera, do it. But politicians will do nothing for us. We do the thing and then they accommodate that thing because they want to win us over. Simple as that. Do you think we can push them? I think we can push them. Hell, yeah. Yeah, I think money pushes them. It's not even pushing them. It's like we have to show them that this is what we want and if they don't give it to us, we'll go to someone else. And that's always going to be the biggest issue for black people is that like, if you guys vote Republican, if black people voted Republican once, you'd have whatever you want every election because both sides would be fighting for it, right? But the fact that Democrats know all they have to do is go, yo, you're a sellout. I mean, that's literally what, fighting literally said to you, hey, what do you mean? You won't vote for me? What do you mean, black? That's right. It just calls you a sellout. So it's like black people are still terrified to vote Republican because they feel like the whole community will support those races, motherfuckers. And Loki, that's also on conservatives for allowing themselves to be placed and made look to look so radioactive. And there's a lot of rhetoric that they let be out there that is radioactive. So it's like, you got to fight that tooth and nail as well because, and again, I'm not black, so I don't know. But from talking to a lot of my black friends, it's like, black people are ready. They're ready for another opportunity. They're ready for another option. Now let's say that. Yeah, say that. They're not ready to vote conservative. They're ready for another option. They're just ready for another option. So it's like, come, come show me something, bro. You know what? You're absolutely right. And I also think I see a lot of progressive white people like that, too, though. A lot of progressive white people are like, that's why the Bernie Sanders of the world. You know what I mean? White people are done with these Democrats, bro. Let me just tell you something. White people are done. You're speaking on behalf of all white people. I'm being, if you're a white person, to the day that hasn't like dyed your hair pink, if you have your regular fucking hair color and you're a white person, you're done with these fucking Democrats. You're just done with them. You want something more progressive. Ooh, and that's interesting. Make that argument. I just think you want something more progressive. I think that's why the Bernie Sanders of the world was popular. Yo, I'm going to be honest with you. Oh, no, it's not mind boggling to me. In a perfect world, the last two presidential elections, another person could have snuck in and won this shit. But you know, the way the game is structured is either going to be a Democrat or Republican. You don't stand a chance. They just put the bums in there that they can control. Like, there's not even that good. Like, Pete Buttigieg or whatever like that. It's like, he's just someone that can be controlled. I like Pete. Yeah, we like Pete. And like, we're like, oh, I guess this is a progressive. This is a good guy, et cetera. We don't know anything about his foreign policy. We know nothing about Pete. And granted, we don't know nothing. We know about most politicians. That's fine. But what I'm saying is they don't give us the best options, right? I mean, like, and then when an option that's interesting to us comes along, they do everything they can to squash them. Please believe Republicans did not want Trump. Because they knew that they weren't going to be able to control that motherfucker. They did everything they could to house in their lead. Hey, and now, yo, that's the problem with Bernie. He wasn't as good. Now, also, the democratic system is built to control who is becoming president with the caucuses and shit. And they stole it from Bernie. But he also wasn't so good that he could beat the system that's in place. And a lot of us wish they would, because I'd rather that, even if he did nothing, shake some fucking shit up, yo. I'm here with you. You know what I think we dropped above? Hillary, man. Hillary what? Hillary should have been president. Oh, god. I think Hillary would have been president. Oh, god. Why? I mean, better than what we got going on now. Why? I think she'd have been a good president. If Hillary's president were, we'd be at war with 10 different countries already, right? Well, that's coming. Yeah. Well, under who's administration? Keep it a buck. Under who's administration? We're going to go to war. But you know what? These Democrats talk all this shit all the time. All these right wing people are war mongers, et cetera. Hey, man. I think Russia and China smell fear. And if this was the 90s, I would have let another word fly just now. G-Unit had an adult freestyle about it. All right? I don't know about it. But I'm telling you, Russia and China right now, they smell fear. And they are ready to exploit the weakness of America. We need to go first. We need to get our swagger back, man. I don't know. New York first? We need to get our swagger back. When you got Bisham TDJ, Bisham, because I remember, I posted this last week. I was just like, yo, we not paying attention, right? Now I'm talking about the Russia and China alliance and just even looking at what's going on in the Ukraine. You hear people like, oh, Putin's bluffing. 100,000 troops at the border, bro. Somebody might need to take that a little bit more serious, right? And so I posted, we not paying attention. I'm watching Bisham TDJ on Sunday. He gave a sermon called, We Need an Epiphany. And Bisham TDJ literally started off by saying how we're not paying attention and we need an epiphany. And then he went into, we're on the brink of, he said, God told him, we're on the brink of World War III. And he starts talking about Russia and China. And he was like, y'all worried about bombs. He's like, ain't going to be no bombs? And this shit is going to be fought on the internet. And he, we're already seeing that, the disinformation. Chris, please jump in right now, because Chris be following all of this shit in a real way. And he put me onto something. Chris, I don't know if you want to talk about it, though. I mean, you said it, I mean, I think, you know, we're talking about the Russians invading Ukraine. The Russians have already invaded the US. They just do it through social media. You know, the wars of the future aren't bombs and tanks. It's social media attacks. And we got to address that. That's what you talked about when you said? Tiktok. Yeah, but remember, if you talk about Portnoy and whatever they was on there with a company that did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, that shit is real. And you can trace this shit back. And a lot of these bots come back from Russia. I've seen it myself. They want us fighting. Like, nobody benefits more about like us destroying each other than China or Russia. That's right. That's right. They want us fighting each other so that we don't fight them. I mean, that's why I think America needs a real pride movement. Like, and I think what happened is like, we had a moment looking in the mirror and nobody likes what they see in the mirror, right? Because the reflection forces you to look at all the horrible things that you've done, right? Yeah. And I think that what we need to do is kind of restructure American pride. Like, I love America, man. Can you have American pride if all of us don't have it? Yo, and here's the thing. I think that American pride, the way that we have American pride. This is one of my biggest frustrations with the left and the right. Is the extreme left and the right have stolen everything I love about America from me, right? They bastardize it. So like, the left, the left has stolen tolerance. Like, I was so proud, like growing up in New York and I have all these different friends from all these different walks of life when we all fucking tease each other, bust balls, but like have respect for each other's cultures and like value it and get to like tap into all these different experiences. It was so dope. Like, I didn't even know other countries had like non-white people until like recently. Me neither. You know what I mean? Like, I was like, yeah, that's just us and this is it. And I love that. And then the left went so extreme pandering with their like wokeness that it's like, now you make tolerance corny. And then the right goes so extreme with the other things I love about America, which is like freedom of speech and like freedom in general and like pride. And it's like, they went so extreme with that shit. It's like, anytime I hear some dude say freedom of speech I'm like, what do you want to say, really? Like you went so fucking crazy with it that I can't even tell you how important it is with me. So y'all have stolen the things I love about America so much. I wonder if, because, you know, I was thinking about this when I said what I said about Hillary, the reason I said that is because I feel like Hillary would have kept things in the middle, right? Because she's a centrist. Barack Obama was a centrist, right? Barack was just a great politician and like just such an engaging, likable, smart person. How do you feel, I want to ask you, how do you feel America was under Barack? I can't say from a conservative side, but like I really enjoyed Barack. You know, as a president because I just thought he was like a great ambassador for America and like that's what I think America's about. Like the guy was just cool. Like I looked at the president, I was like, ah, I really liked that that guy is our president. I like, I feel like if he sat down with any world leader he could outsmart him. And I like that. You know, like Hillary would just fall apart, just crumble. Like he just thinks, like Trump bodied her, bro. He did. I'm glad you said that though. And the reason I'm glad you said that is because I don't think you can ever truly represent all of the different groups in America if you're a part of any one party. I think in order for the get what you're saying we need which is American pride, it has to be other options that aren't Democrat or Republican aren't anything. It's like, you gotta be like a, I don't know, centrist party. It's gotta be somebody that's willing to listen to everyone and what everything's saying, everybody's saying and be willing to like compromise with everybody in a way. Well, here's the thing about like what you said was really interesting about, about like even bringing up Barack when I thought he did such a great job is like, I think that the most amazing thing about America and I think Barack's a perfect example of this, but I think the most amazing thing about America is and I think it's very important when we create this American pride movement that minorities are included in it and they get to take pride in America too. Cause that's one of the saddest things that that I always hear it's like when I talk to my friends that aren't white and they're like, do you love America? Some of them love America. And then some are like, Michael Che has this great joke about it. He's like, black people are specific about our love. They're like, I don't know if I love America. I love Brooklyn. Yeah, because we don't have, we still have yet to feel like we get all the civil liberties and civil rights that this country says it gives America. So it's like, we've been wrapping up what's great about America in these things that these groups have felt disenfranchised from, right? So of course they're not going to have their pride. If I feel freedom and say, well, I don't feel free. And America would have to right some wrongs. Reparations would be a great step towards that. So what I think we need to do is wrap wrap American pride into the thing that we all feel proud of. And I don't know if you guys feel proud about this, but like I do as a son of an immigrant, I definitely feel this way. But like America in the world is the place where you can become the greatest version of yourself. And I don't care who you are, what you look like. The greatest version of you, Charlemagne the God can only be Charlemagne the God in America. I don't know if Charlemagne the God can be Charlemagne the God in London. Now I'm not taking anything away from you, but I'm giving some credit to fucking America. Like what you little Duval, Andrew Schultz, do you know what I mean? Wax, like everybody in this room can be the greatest for our shocker. Are we being jailed in other countries? Say, we'll talk. Like, yes, 100%. We get to criticize our leaders. Fuck that. You know what I mean? These jokes ain't flying everywhere, bro. So it's like, I look at that in America and I look at like what all my friends like these creatives and entrepreneurs my own parents, like my mom came from, you know, a place where she didn't think that her star could shine as bright and then came here and did all these amazing things. Right. It's like my dad literally walked into a fucking news station. And this is a different time. But walking news stations like asking for a job and then ended up being a fucking reporter and then like produced news. Like these things happen here. Your fucking star shines bright. And like that's the pride movement. I want everybody to take part of. I want all these people are like, you know, I came from nothing and I became this amazing businessman, entertainer, fucking musician, athlete, whatever. Like I want those stories. That is America to me. And that's what America's always been. But no, you know, white supremacists, racists and bigots fucked that up because that is the America we should live in. That's the dream. That's the American dream. But that's not the America we live in. Yes, after a man. We're living in it right now. I'm sitting next to it. But after a man at the pension, it should have been that. It should have been like, after 9-11, it felt like New York was together. Like literally, like everybody was together in New York. Like we knew that man, there's something out here that bigger than us that wants all of us gone, whatever, whatever. After emancipation, it should have been that way. Like when you look at, and this is the chicken and watermelon stereotype, when you look at these people who started black people, after they were enslaved, started growing watermelon and gaining financial freedom by selling watermelon, like that should have been applauded. But you literally had racist bigots who saw them happy that they were free and happy that they were making money and started bastardizing the watermelon and calling them watermelon pickers and everything else. That should have been applauded. You know what I mean? And that's why I want people to identify the American dream as a pride source for us because I hope that you'll see, instead of like, the redneck guy going, oh, these Mexicans or whatever are stealing all our jobs, whatever, like, Loki, I hope that they see an immigrant who has come here. And I don't want people to just come here illegally. I think there should be a legal way to do it, right? I'm not just for like, yeah, let anybody come in. Like, we have to have fucking rules and shit, too, right? If you value something, you value your country, you're not gonna show like any old person walk in whenever you want, just to value your house. Which both parties agree on. But I want this to be the place for immigrants. I still want this to be like, yo, you want to run it up? You want to be the best version of yourself? Yo, come bring it, because that's what we're about. And then I want Americans, like I want that fucking redneck dude to see that Mexican guy who came here legally, but he came here and started his own business and had this fucking restaurant. I want him to look at that and be like, yo, that's fire, because you could only do that here. And we built something where you could do that and then take personal pride in everybody's ability to reach their highest goals here. I agree with everything he was just saying. I think that the problem is the fact that, man, everybody can't get money. And not everybody's gonna. But that's the problem, right? If you're a white guy who's been here and this country has always told you white people get ahead and you watch somebody from another country or you watch a black person. Yeah, it's hard. And you be like, man, fuck them. Like I should be on, like literally that's what it is. It all boils down to jealousy. It boils down to envy. It boils down to hate. And the canons are. That's why Europe is socialist. Is these people have been living there for so long. They're like, yo, I don't want to hustle no more. I just want a job that I know is gonna pay me enough to live and I want some health care. So I'll be safe in case I get sick and I want to be taken care of when I'm old. I'm tired of this hustle. Wow, what a life. But America, we're young still, right? We're like 400 fucking years old, right? So everybody that comes here is on their grind. America's like moving to New York. Everybody who comes to America is like, I'm gonna work 80 hours a week and I'm gonna get myself out of fucking poverty and I'm gonna go. But then you've got generations of people who have been here for a while and they're like, yo, my family did all that work shit. I just want a job I can trust. I want a pension and I want my fucking health care and I want to chill with my family. And that's okay too. And we might evolve one day into a more social system that will basically restrict how high we go on the top but how low we go on the bottom. You think? But that's why we work hard though. So I really have to. I mean, that's what I hope we continue to instill. Like I hope every generation of American grows up going, nah, this is still the hustle Olympics. Like you've got to go out there and you've got to grind. You can't get a kid no more. You can't be giving us too much. We got so much. We got social media. We got cash at, you know what I'm saying? That's it is so much. You truly assure our destruction. No, not necessarily social media. But like what I'm saying is we still invent everything. We still make all the cool shit. Like nothing cool coming out of fucking China. China just takes whatever our shit is, deconstructs it, copies it, and makes it. That's a lot. Say what? China making everything. After we make it, we just say go make it. I don't know about that one. Name one thing. Listen, TikTok, you don't think TikTok is just another version of social media app we make? All this shit China, bro. Yeah. We design it. We innovate. Then we say you put it together. Name one thing that they made. Everything. Fam, there's a difference between sewing and designing. But we decide. We innovate. Right here is China. China. China. I think all of that, everything you're saying sounds like a dream. We are in the dream, bro. That's what it's called, dude. That's what I thought. And I want people to embrace the American dream. Man, it's like really important to me. And maybe I'm lucky because I saw my mom go through it, right? Like I saw her come here and see this opportunity and then seize it and fucking run with it. And you guys have done this. Like, it's insane what we've all done. Like if you really sit down here and go, what the fuck is going on? It's what we told, though. And people always say this argument and they'd be like, oh, but you're not the exception, not the rule. That's true for all of us. It's the 1% for all of us. Look at yourself as the exception. Every morning, you are the fucking exception. That's right. Black people are the exception. Everybody's the exception. If you're super rich and wealthy in this country, like you're the exception. Like there's way more people doing bad than it is doing good. And it should not be that way with this mini resource. And that is frustrating. Don't get me wrong. And like you see this immense wealth. You see these billionaires that are going to the moon and then the people living in tents. And you're like, do we need to go to the moon? Or should we figure out this whole tent situation? And that's 100% right. And low-key maybe if we had a little bit more pride in America. I think like when you think America is shit and you see people living in tents, you go, oh yeah, we're shit. They should live in tents. But when you fucking have pride, when you really believe in your country, you go, ain't no fucking American living in a goddamn tent. OK? Not while I'm alive. Especially if they're poor folks. Especially, right? Especially if they're poor folks. I hate that shit. Hey, you know what, though? To your point about pride, that kind of goes back to what Whoopi was saying about humanity. If all of us were just good humans. Like, you don't even have to have American pride if you really just care about your fellow man. Let's start in America. Let's start in America. But you're right though. One nation could change everything. That's it. We did change everything. I'm hearing about what's going on in Singapore. And I'm like, I got to go see Singapore. There we go. People talking about Singapore. Like, it's Wakanda. It is Asian Wakanda. That's what I'm hearing. I want to go visit. People like, I want to go see what's popping in Singapore. It's fascinating. Incredibly clean. Have you been yet? Yeah. I did show you. Where'd you go? Our question, I went there. We went to Malaysia and Singapore. I'm a little bit. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What did you do? We went, I mean, this is a few years back, but it was an interesting experience. It's like an Apple store. Like, the place is just. That's what they said. The whole place. They said it's even under a dome. There's different parts. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like, it's just a fascinating place. But like, for me, I like Malaysia a little bit more. I'm built for. She used to dance in Houston, right? She used to dance in Houston. What? Yeah, that was good. What? I'm lost. The country, Malaysia. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where she got her hair from. Yeah. Yeah. No, but like, I like, I like the third world a little bit more. Like, I don't know. Like, my energy is built for that. Like, and I think that's what America kind of has. Like, America is the first world. It's got the security and safety, but it's still got, like, the scammers, the hustlers. Like, think about a crazy idea. You can make it happen here. Whereas, like, you look at, like, parts of Europe and, like, Singapore and that kind of shit, like, where they have a little bit more structured society. It's hard to break the rules. There's a lot more, like, red tape and, like, bureaucracies you've got to deal with. Whereas in America, it's just like, ain't no rule yet. Like, right? Like, how many fucking, how many, like, random, like, exercise powders and shit do they sell? And they're like, not FDA approved yet. And they're like, how the fuck are you selling it? Yeah. You trying it out, you a lab rat. Literally. And I kind of like that environment. So I preferred Malaysia to Singapore. But yeah, check it out. I can't wait to go there. Yeah, it's just like, it's a nation state. So it's very small. Small amount of people and they can control everything and they have, like, it's, you know, it's one party. And it's basically a benevolent dictatorship. So, like, what happens if you had a dictator but they tried to make a society that was really good for the people instead of just being insane assholes? What if you had that? What if you had, what if you had- I wish that was a- It works! What if in America there was one person and we knew he was this person, this woman, a man, what was a great human? Yeah. He was a great human. He cared about all about everybody. I don't know that. I'll tell you. But would you let that person just run everything? I'll tell you why that usually doesn't happen. Because the disposition in a human being to crave power is usually not matched with the disposition in a human being to be benevolent or kind. Yeah. Like, wanting power at all costs means that you don't actually care about those others. Like, and that's what's so rare, to be honest. And I put you in this category, like Joe in this category. It's like, you guys are people that want, I don't wanna say want success, but you guys are people who are immensely successful but you still wanna see other people shine. That's the way. This is very rare, dude. This is very rare that people want to be successful and great, and then want to see other people be great. That usually does not happen. And that's why you have so many people that are in those positions that are just kind of like selfish and like belittle other people that they become the old hater archetype, right? Like, they're not ready to see the next generation thrive, you know what I mean? Like, you look at a lot of people that, I've told people outside, like, first time I saw Jason Mero outside of Twitter was on a Charlemagne show. Yeah, definitely. You know what I'm saying? Like, me, you threw a lot of alley-oops. Like, Charlie's footprint on the people who are impactful in the game right now is hard to deny. And the same thing with Joe. Like, you can't look at motherfuckers succeeding in stand-up right now. So it's like, you guys have, you guys have incredible drive for success, but you also have a lot of joy in seeing people win. That's rare, bro. I love it. But you know that there are people hating on you on a come-up. Why? They could have just thrown that lob. They could have been part of your success, right? They could have done songs with you. One thing that Drake does so well is that motherfucker does songs with all these new people that we don't even know about just yet. So he throws them in the alley-oop and then they all grow together. Instead of just being like, man, this new artist is trash, fuck all this, why we got to do it like that? I mean, they're still having fun. I'm just out here, baby. He's having fun. Let's play some builds with this mask in the years, man.

Let's get back to the show. Let's do some assing idiots, Taylor. Hold on, you didn't, did you go over Euphoria and Zendaya, you know? That means Zendaya is amazing. Zendaya is incredible. Zendaya should motherfucking win every goddamn award they give out for acting. And Zendaya is a great role model for young black women. My daughter's 13 years old, my daughter literally yesterday, literally said to me, you know who you should interview? I said, who? She said Zendaya. Wow. And I started to say no shit squirt, but I was like, I said, yeah, that would be a good interview. And she was like, and when you do, I want to meet her. She's never said that to me about anybody. Now explain like the cultural effect of Euphoria because I hear everybody talking about it. It seems to be crossing through all cultures, a little bit younger generation is into it, but it feels like their show. I mean, it's giving us the classic things that we all love. Okay. It's drugs. Okay. It's sex. Yes. And it's violence. That's America. Got it. At least we got something to be proud of. Don't just say it. It's giving us everything that we love. Relatable. It's giving us sex. It's giving us drugs. It's giving us motherfucking violence. Our high schools are so lit. Like dude, high school everywhere else is so boring. I don't know one high school show from France or some other fucking place. And American high school, dude. Yeah. And I said this, I was saying this. I said, yo, man, this show has given us all of this, what has given it to us with a message. That's what we love. We love edginess with a motherfucking message. If you're edgy and you're entertaining us and you're giving a message, you'll win every motherfucking time. What's the message? The message is just, man, I like the way they address addiction. Put it like this. Everybody on there has an issue, right? Like whether it's the father who was bisexual and sleeps with transgenders. Well, he slept with a transgender. I don't know if that's his thing, but he slept with a transgender. I know he's bisexual. Or the day in her addiction are, you know... Body form. What's that thing called? Body dysmorphia. You know, Feds, what's his name? Feds? Yeah. Feds and why he's so violent and how he got to the drug game. They show you all of their origins and they show you the trauma that led to them getting to where they are. Then there, we know that her father died. You know what I'm saying? And she's been dealing with the grief for her father. Like the shit is just, it's not just mindless. That's why I didn't understand when Dare came at them. Cause I'm like, you're there. Y'all don't watch this show. Who, who, who? Dare. The drug. The drug and alcohol or whatever. Oh, I thought you said dare. And I was like, is this another one? Another one. The show was great. I told my daughter, yo, you need to start watching this show. Oh wow. I thought you were scared of her to watch this. I mean, I think the message in it is so good and it really does scare people from drugs. That's it. When they said they glorified drug, you said nothing. I ain't doing this shit. Last weekend was ridiculous. Thank God for the way. Last weekend. Don't tell me, I'ma watch. Yo, Rue learned everything from Spider-Man, bro. That's all I'ma fucking tell you, bro. Rue was running through that neighborhood like she was the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, bro. That shit was incredible. She was going through withdrawal. That was her superpower, bro. She got rid of four cops. My God. She was scaling walls, dodging cars. Like I was like, yo, she Spider-Man. She got everything except for the fucking web shooting out of her wrist, man. Zendaya's been winning the war, but I don't know what the fuck. Is that an Emmy? I don't know what the fuck. She needs someone to ask her. Fuck, I know it's not a movie, but she needs someone to ask her. Well, that's not possible. I don't even know what to say right now. Alex, put the camera on me. Brilliant idiots, listeners and watchers. I am so sorry. Tom Brady is so good. He should win the NBA championship. Yo, he really is, bro. He really should. He should, too. How did Tom Brady not win the MVP in the NBA? They should make him president of China. Yo, why not? Tom Brady should be president of China. Why not? The graduation was real. She's a great actress, for real. But the Oscar isn't any better than the Emmy. They're just for different things. Emmys are for TV shows and Oscars are movies. So like, I want her to win both. Yeah, all right, all right. So listen, whoever won the NBA finals, you got to give them both trophies, bro. I think that we should. I pay 100%. My exaggerations is showing how much I enjoy her work. Should she win a Grammy, too? Yeah, you got to give her a Grammy, yeah. She sings, no, no, she does sing on there, though. What did she say? She had to track. I don't know what this song is called, but she does. She does. No, she does. Yeah, she does. The last season, that was her song. What song? End of the show. How does it go? She was like, who thought she was dying? She was rapping two pockets. No, that was her song. All right, now I got to look it up. Can we do some Ask an Idiot's, please? Yeah. She does. She does, people. Just let's do the Ask an Idiot's, my darling. I'm not sure you have a song. Why are we going to be sorry? Because that's a salty. Um, wait, before that, did you guys, I want to know your take on T.I. on Stand Up. I think that, um, I think that, uh, listen, I like when everybody tries Stand Up, to be totally honest. No, you don't. I'm scared. No, I'm not like those, because Stand Up is so hard, I wish everybody did it, because then they'd have respect for it. That's right. So like, I tried it. That's that, my ass death. See, so you respected it, right? That's right, that shit is no joke. I'm scared to even try it. That's how much I respect it. That's the thing. So it's like, there are people, every, what's that? It's called all for all. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, it's all good. It is her. We believe it, we believe it. Oh, we're moving on. We believe everything you say, Taylor. Thank you. That's all you did. Um, I think T.I. is just trying to figure out what the next thing he's going to do in his life. Because don't nobody want to see him in a versus. That's why. That's why everybody shook the death to see Tip in a versus. Because you know he'll body 95% of y'all, so now he got to go out there and do Stand Up. Yup. That's what this is all about. Yup. But you know, are you going to be upset when he, well no, you don't care. You're doing fetus. That's the thing like. It'll be the other comedians who'll be mad. The guys who can't sell out comedy clubs. Yeah. T.I. can go anywhere right now and get 70 to 100,000 at a comedy club. Yeah. Like, I think he'll do fine and he'll figure it out. I just think it's, I think it's really hard to be a creative person your whole life. And then people go, all right, you don't need to make music anymore. Like we're done buying your music or listening to your new music. I think it's really hard to just turn off that creative muscle. So I think for him to go, okay, let me work towards something with Stand Up. Let me work towards something different. I think that makes sense for me as a creative. And I think that's the great thing about Stand Up is like, you can do this shit until you're, you know, Don, what is it? Don Rickles was fucking almost 100 years old. So. It's good to reinvent yourself and change the product. Yeah. Just keep being creative, man. All right. And if you don't want T.I. to do Stand Up, then you have to tell him that I bet you can't quit doing Stand Up. Ten. Never you tell T.I. he can't do. Tips going to do. So if you want him to quit, you say, hey, I bet you can't quit Stand Up. Yeah. He didn't love it so much. What I would tell Tip is that you got to stop letting people videotape you. Yeah, him working out. Because it's like, one, these aren't the best versions of your jokes. Two, you can't even work out the jokes of everybody seeing them. That's right. So it's like, give yourself some time to grow the material. That's right. They want to post you. The second they see you, they got to post you. Why hasn't Duvall told him this? Maybe yes. You want him to lose? I'm listening. I'm listening, man. Either you can't lose with me because I like when you good. I like when you funny and I like when you bump. So either way, I'm dying laughing. You can't lose with me. You're right. If you funny, you actually more funny than when you lose. That's right. I told y'all this before, when I go to Stand Up shows, I'm either really intently listening and I'm like, oh, shit, that was so smart. Or if it's really, really super funny, I'm like, oh, shit, but I'm gonna laugh but I'd never try to laugh too hard because I know that sometimes it's something else after it. Yeah. But if you're bombing, if I'm the only person in the club laughing, I promise you you'll bomb it. And I love it. I love it too. I love it like, ha, ha, ha, ha. It's so funny. It's so funny. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. People be looking and be like, that must be Charlamagne, cousin of something. That must be Charlamagne, friend of something. Yo, I'm like, no, I just like seeing people bombing. Like that one person. That white guy. Oh my God. Who was doing the impersonations? Oh, that shit was so funny, man. I haven't seen the funniest one. Yeah. No, this was on, we was at the show. She, when I think she was up there losing. I was there? Oh my God. Yeah. I don't remember her name. I forgot her name. She went without, yo, show, when I think she was up there losing, bro. She must be that bad. Oh, what's happening? Oh, you guys are so amazing. Y'all seen this? Watch this one. This is a difference. I did see this. I see this. Oh, yes. No, bring her up. Booster. Oh, Heather McDowell. You want me to put it back up? Double-vaxxed booster. Double-vaxxed. Flu shot. And I'm going to be honest. I have the shingle shot too. And I still get my period. What? Yes. Traveled went to Mexico twice. Did shows, meet and greets. Never got COVID. Clearly. Jesus loves me the most. Seriously. So nice. So nice. What did you pass out? Why are y'all laughing, though? She passed out? Yeah, you hit a dude's left. No, man. They thought that it was a joke. No, man. The audience. I thought it just said she fractured her skull. Yeah. Yeah, she fractured her skull. But like, they of course thought it was a joke because she talked about, I got all these vaccines, et cetera, and then you pass out. That seems like a kind of stupid joke. Got to bend your knees. Her shit locked and then... You heard that. You heard that shit. I've never seen somebody fall so hard. And they were already harping on a fucking stain. Come on, have mercy. Give me some athletes. Let's do a couple athletes and get out of here. I got to get out of here to 20 and 30. What we got? What we got? Oh, this is a good one. Does full independence kill censorship? That's by by CUART. No, it does not. Because as I always tell y'all, you can say whatever you want. And you can have all the free speech you want, but you're not free of the consequences of said speech or the reactions of said speech. There is always going to be this. There's always going to be outrage. There's always going to be noise. So fully independent. Full independence does not kill censorship. There's always going to be somebody calling for you to be silenced in some way, shape, or form. Independence helps because it puts pressure on industry to make their rules malleable so they can compete with you. That's right. So that's why independence, I think, is very good. But like Charlemagne said, there's always going to be people trying to silence you because they disagree with your views. Or they just don't like how powerful or influential you are. That's the funny thing about Rogan, right? It's like, OK, let's just say hypothetically, which won't happen, Spotify, Revolver. Yeah, not that. They still got to cash him up. Yep. And he'll just go back to doing his podcast the way he was. Or get another creamy bag somewhere else, like. If he even wants to, just like, you go back, you go, you're already, he's in Austin. That's his studio, guys, that he had before this. Like, it's just like, he'll just go back to doing what he was doing. Also, this is just so successful. I mean, it's just the best possible thing for the podcast. Like, everybody's going to listen to it. We were all joking around with Akash. We're like, how does it feel to be on, like, potentially the most listened to Rogan episode ever? Listen. Like, the one that he came back on, Akash was just on Rogan for anybody. I saw. I was listening. I didn't see it, but I saw it at the moment. You definitely see it now. Literally, it's like the episode where he's going to come back and then talk about what had happened to him. It just happens to be the one. We played a clip this morning on Breakfast Club. There we go. With Akash talking. Let's go! And I said that annoying voice you hear talking with Pro. It's Akash's thing, you know? But it's just like, yeah. I mean, I just don't, I don't know, man. Which some, I'm not even getting into that. What else we got? What's the best age to get married as a man? Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. 38. I got married at what, 20? I got married at 21. I'm 38. Oh, I think I was going to say 20s. So eight years ago, how old was I? 33. No, it was 43 Wednesday. I don't fucking know. Yeah. I'm married on my 30. You get married when you want to get married, man. You get married whenever age you want to get married, man. I say after 20. After the 20s. You're not a man. It doesn't matter. I'm just saying. The question is, what's the best age to get married for a man? Why can I answer? I don't think it should be, I don't think it should be an age. Yo, this girl is crazy, man. Yeah. Yo, this girl is absolutely crazy. I don't think it's unbelievable. I think Zendaya should get a Michelin star for her performance. Oh, you're a warrior. Oh, my God. Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be an age. I think you get married when you feel like she'll leave you for the last two years of my meet. Like, you feel like you got two years left for your meet being good. Then you do it. You play. I'm going to give her the last of it before it starts. I haven't problem with yours. She definitely want to fuck a younger man. I mean, that's what happens. So that's why you need to give her the last two. You're going to be a younger man with thick eyebrows. Young, thick Dominican with thick eyebrows. Probably. I don't care. Yes, you do. If you know something's going to come. I know. But why you want this so bad? I got it. I got it. I really did. I'm breaking hearts. That's reparation. I've got to see it one time. Reparation. Before I die at the 10th of the age of 100, I got to see Wax get his heart broken. You don't even know if I get my heart broken all the time. I get my heart broken all the time. I don't play dumb. What you mean? What you want? No, no. I'm not going to lie. Shorty did break your heart. Who? Who? Shorty, yeah. Yeah, when you was out of getting your Kanye on, girl. It's all good. It's supposed to happen. It's going to happen. It's only going to grow me. What happened? I don't know. I really don't know what happened, but I'll take it. Because if it already happened, that'd be my karma already gone. So thank you. Now, you was in love. You was in love. It's okay. That's okay. That's crazy. I think we've done it. We've done it here, guys. Take it. We've done it, right? Yes, sir. Wait, one on one. Do you guys have a Super Bowl prediction? Defense wins championships. Dallas Cowboys on 1-2. Yeah, defense wins championships. Offense wins. Pays to get the ticket. So I look at the Rams. Defense wins championships. Offense sell tickets. So I think the Bengals got better offense. They're going to lose. And defense is going to win with the Bengals. I mean with the Rams. Yes. I bet on Joe Burroughs. I don't even know what that fucking name is. That motherfucker's bad. That motherfucker got magic with him. Okay. He's the bangle guy? Yes. That guy's different. He's been different since college. Yes, I do believe defense wins championships. Yes, wins championships. All right, then Bengals look like a team of destiny, bro. They can pass, if they can pass, Dono and Lillian all them over there is a little different, man. But don't listen to me. I'm a cowboy. Me too. What the fuck do I know? Okay. I just know what defense does. You got a prediction? For the Super Bowl? I don't care. I genuinely do not care about it. I'm with you. Yeah, me too. I'm with you. Fuck with you. Looking forward to the halftime show, though. Yeah. Really looking forward to the halftime. I hope they take it there. Yeah. Yeah. I hope nobody tripped before. I hope they don't do the cute shit. I hope they come out there and give us those 90s problematic rap tiddles. Well, I'll be not going to happen. You're going to be scared, too. Why would they be scared? Because of what's going on in the world right now. No, they're not scared. Those three ain't scared. Those three are not scared. The independence. Yes, Snoop Dogg could do anything. No, those three are not scared. Snoop Dogg. We'll see, though. Snoop Dogg really can't do anything. We'll see. God bless Snoop Dogg. Sing bad. As always, if you listen... It's always... That's it, right there. That's it, that's it, that's it. Yeah, we don't even need to go, whatever. What the fuck, man?
