Feliz na'vi dad Nothing slap like Feliz na'vi dad. All right, let's sing it together Feliz na'vi dad Feliz na'vi dad Feliz na'vi dad prospero an yo Feliz na'vi dad Hey, hey, I wanna wish you a merry cream ah I want to wish you a merry cream ah I want to wish you a merry cream ah from the bottom of my heart That's all I got. That was fire. Yo, it's the most fire Christmas song of all time Imagine how fire be if you were a mustache like this. No singing it Singing it to a nice half of no on the street. That looks suspicious This white guy with a Mexican mustache singing Feliz na'vi dad to a big girl on the street and gay What's this music plan This ain't Feliz na'vi dad, that's the that's the that's the new version ain't the original. Oh, I thought you were playing lean on me The original slaps. Did you see the president of Ukraine yesterday? No, explain to me. I'm you know, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary Okay, your country's in the middle of a war. Yep How do you have time to fly to America to have a press conference in front of Congress son? That's all you should be doing What do you mean when you're a country that's the size of Ukraine going up against a way bigger country Mm-hmm, you need the world support through so you got to be doing podcast tours Like it's like you're dropping a special or dropping an album. Well, he was doing stuff over zoom before but I'm just saying How do you don't slap like why would they trust flying out of a country? You know, I mean airborne coming all the way to America like I'm not trying to undermine the war But I think that you got to look at it a little bit more like Russia is occupying territory Not like they're just trying to take over the whole country got you got you got so the parts that aren't occupied by Russia fly out Operate normally do your thing Nancy Pelosi will show up. Yeah, like whatever. Yeah, he thanked Nancy for coming in the height of the war Oh, okay. Yeah What what? Pelosi got some Feliz Navidad's if you ask me, I'm just trying to figure it out Can we bring up Nancy Pelosi's Feliz? Prospero on your new wave What that normal Chris what normal it's normal for leaders of countries to leave the country water at war right there right there Taylor Been Franklin wasn't he said that's not true He was already there my G but been Franklin wasn't a president. Oh, no Thomas Jefferson was over there for a minute Yeah, Thomas Jefferson. Yeah, he was because he was the ambassador to France. God Thomas Jefferson was the American ambassador. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. So he was out there and I learned that from Hamilton. There's a wrap Really, it's a wrap. I didn't pay that. I mean I watched him and then I thought it was great, but it's in the battle scene When they're all in the circle Okay, see that's Hamilton bars bars will teach you everything you want But if we want to talk about Nancy Pelosi, you know, we don't got to talk about that older woman like that They like it after a certain age they like it what if a 90-year-old woman likes to be objectified you don't think I mean, I can see the logic. I'm just saying like you're I can see your logic like damn. What are you 50? I can see the logic. Yeah, no, no, no, but that's different That's different than saying, you know, you got some big Feliz Navidad It's way funnier to call them some Feliz Navidad Look who got presents look like someone got some presents need to get opened up Shout out to Nancy Pelosi 90 they probably wouldn't care. They probably laughing at that. Exactly Dying laughing every time I talk about them things when you that old you dying when you do everything. That's also true I mean, what's the next topic? I don't know Jesus Christ. I don't know make an avatar at a Nancy Pelosi No avatar yet. Yes. I have I'm gonna watch it is a good. Yes, it is like better than the first one I don't remember the first person who's great This is this is why we go to the movies. I'll be honest I saw people boycotting. I'm saying they want a boycott because of what they were saying that they make fun of indigenous culture Oh my god, it's fake people bro. Oh my god. It's it's not real people. Who's the blue people? Who's the well some like Samoans and like Hawaiians? They go to the water tribe and it's basically Samoans and Hawaiians But I don't know they didn't get no Samoans and Hawaiians to play them The first one was in the jungle now. They go into the water next one. They'll go to the mountains or something How much money is avatar to me? I don't know first one is the highest grossing movie of all time This one got to make like two billion to break even I break even yeah Even doing a movie like that. Yo, how much is it made so far 500 million? I mean, I'll be honest. They say I was supposed to make that the first weekend Well, this is what this is why we go to the movies. I truly do believe this it is spectacle It's amazing. Yeah, you get wrapped up in this world And it's like it is totally worth putting on clothes leaving your house and go into the movie theater and enjoying this for like three and Hours and 20 minutes and it's like the stories The story is solid to some people to my wife She's balling out crying my my boy Derek Poston hilarious comedian He said he was like so fucking teared up by he was like embarrassed I didn't get teared up by it I guess I didn't relate to the story as much but this the spectacle what they built like it's genius What they just put together, you know It's so interesting that you say that to get people to go to the movies It's gonna have to be events from now exactly you can't just put a rom-com out there and expect us to go It's like it has to be top gun. It got to be avatar. It's got to be Black Panther 2 It's got to be Nancy Pelosi given a speech because when I went to go see The menu I said that to myself as I'm leaving I'm like this could have been on screaming And that's like kind of the way our brains are. Oh, how was the menu? I Didn't give a fuck about it really like that kind of shit Literally only went cuz it's a horror movie, right? I guess That's just scary no more the reason I say nothing. That's just scary no more cuz like yeah, we've lived life. Yeah 44 years old. I know what actual fear is. I've seen things that are actually terrifying They'd be putting like that's not scary. It would never happen. You want maybe what more of like a psychological thriller This is a psychological. It is a psychological thriller I just think that real life is scary and anything they could ever put in a horror movie Like we've we've lived long enough to see things scarier than Freddy Krueger We've lived long enough to see things scarier than Jason Voorhees Michael Myers because the reality is All jokes aside Jason Voorhees and Jeffrey Dahmer Jason Voorhees and Jeffrey Dahmer. Yeah. No, who's scary to you Jason Voorhees. No way Jeffrey Dahmer could actually exist. Every drama could be living in your building right now Yeah, but as long as I don't go to the gay bar and then I'm good Allegedly you might look delicious that day. Oh, and then he'd find That's what I'm saying. You're right there. All I'm simply saying is we've seen people that are scarier than they've showed us on Actual movies when I watched the Jeffrey Dahmer story That shit is way scarier than this guy in a hockey mask chasing you through the woods Yeah, but something about the guy the hockey mask chasing you. It's just absolutely terrifying. Really? Yeah More so than somebody fucking I also didn't you a lot. I didn't grow up around woods, bro You know what I mean? Jeffrey Dahmer was in the city. That's my point. Yeah Be in your building right now. Yeah, I read a story the other day in the New York Post at the time. I think it was the post it was a young lady She was coming home at night walking in her building this guy Followed her stayed behind her just enough to when she got to her door on the sixth floor To rush in and then stabbed her to death. Jesus Christ You know I'm saying and people were like everybody in the building heard it And I'm like did nothing People called 9-1-1, but I mean nobody went in there to go see what was wrong I mean, yeah, who's gonna stop but that's my point. It's just random 25-year-old Following you for blocks Following you in your building and then wait just enough time for you to open your door to Russian That's more terrifying than Jason fucking boy. No, that's terrifying. Come on. Yeah, you're right Yeah, you're right. Yeah, and you use a knife fair enough. Oh, you know, oh, Jesus Christ. Damn, Charlotte What I'm trying to keep you to talk about police stop you from talking about police Navidad Oh, you accomplished it man. Oh, you're boy. Your boy's been arrested. I don't know the um avatar and 40 3d there's a 4d now. Yeah, you should have did 4d brother 4d is just what it like the seat vibrates So seat moves you feel when you feel water. There's like flashing lights sometimes. Yeah, I mean all that. It's it's amazing Oh, I had that I saw that somewhere That's like the that's like the avatar ride at Universal Studios almost like that, but you go watch all movie like that I don't need all that though. I don't need all that. I want to eat. I want to eat snacks, bro I'm not trying to get fucking pissed on the whole time Yo 40 porn is crazy Getting a little sweat on you My spits in a butthole you You know me Jesus, that's a genius idea why don't you invent that do when the jizz comes? Oh, oh Oh, they gotta make it edible though the jizzler No, no, no, they would have to make the jizz edible. So it is edible Why are these girls act like that shouldn't not edible? That's what I'm trying to understand like I don't understand why that's not edible. Why is it not edible? It is that's it. Yeah, I think that's what the term eating that came from, you know it What do you mean do we do our own? It's it's part of us. It's already but we don't got to eat What do you mean if it splashes? What do you say get on the microphone? Let's try and see Tell her trying to have crazy questions. Tell her I'm not gonna lie. You look skinny. Yeah, it does right I thought I was thinking the same thing you rest you look skinny. No, it's press I work out and do so cycle every week. Well, it's working. Yeah Um, I was gonna say you guys when you had a story that you jerked off on time and it hits you And you was like disgusted with yourself. Damn son. I was disgusted with myself I was more proud of myself that your boy got fucking dissed. That's why you grew the mustache out to catch it Honestly for real, I think I grow more on the part that I landed. Yeah one side. It doesn't grow as much as the other side Yeah, you got to fertilize it Tell her, what are you asking us? Have we ever eaten? No, no No, no, but but what is so what? That's all I'm trying to say like why do we got to eat it? There's a chicken eaters own egg Taylor. There's a chicken eat its own egg. No, but wouldn't eat somebody else's egg. Yeah Yeah, because it's our own bra You don't think gay guys be sucking each other's dicks and cutting come I know Guys like they're grossed out by their own come who he Stop Questions that's crazy. Exactly you asked us. Yeah, are we afraid of our own come Nancy's not that you said you eat your own come Nancy's no, too. Yeah. I'm saying like if a girl was to swallow your come. Yeah No, she's got a drink something and also swallow You're not doing that to your wife. I mean my wife. No, it's not even when I even talk about that with my I can only relate the one thing don't talk to married men like that Taylor Yeah, say that for these other podcasts with these single motherfuckers that still be out here fucking yeah, exactly Everything that's moving. All I'm trying to say is that women it's allowed. You're allowed to consume that. It's not gross at all What you mean you just said it. That's what you were just saying. I think I don't know what she was saying to be honest with you. I You don't eat our own come. Yeah to the question Well, yes, Brooklyn pastor Lamar Whitehead was arrested. What was he arrested for? He went viral on social media for his lavish lifestyle although being a pastor He's been arrested on charges of fraud extortion and lying to the feds according to authorities Whitehead scam money from several people including one church member who he scammed for $90,000 past the Whitehead have denied all allegations interesting interesting Thoughts, I don't know. I mean, I'm just I'm shocked I'm shocked That the pastor that drives a Lamborghini and stripped out in Dior might be a scammer But how was that scamming and no, I'm gonna say I just said might be He's allegedly talking about I'm saying let's just talk about the church for a second If you have a pastor yep, and this pastor preaches every Sunday He does his sermons and you believe in what this pastor is saying and you make you know You tithe and you make offerings to this pastor. Is that scamming? Well depends how they do it. You know what is what is he? What is how these scamming? It depends He took money for how come here. I don't know. I don't know the story It's always weird when you see a wealthy pastor It's yeah It's always weird when you see a wealthy pastor because you're a little bit concerned that they're using God and people's belief in God to enrich themselves So he if this is the same charges that have been against him for a while Basically, there was a woman in his church I think there were several women like that who couldn't get a mortgage on their own for whatever reason He said I have connections in the real estate industry. You give me the money I'll go procure the house for you And you look at the house that way and they gave him in this case I guess $90,000. Nobody ever got a house He pocketed it wouldn't give it back and I think they're we don't gotta do a church No, no bubble the relationship starts to church. Yeah, they trust him because he's the pastor I mean this goes on in Brooklyn a lot Especially you have these houses that are worth a lot of money now and people don't have any real liquid assets But they're sitting on properties work a lot and they give money to somebody They know who says they're gonna basically shortcut the system and the person just never gives the Oh, so that's different from what we talked about. Well, we talked about you I would think you were talking about just people who give money to pass No, I don't think that that's necessarily wrong because you know, you're tithing and that's part of the religion and I don't think that that's bad I Just think that there are also other ways that you can scam And if you're using those ties to personally rich yourself like for example, if you represent God in the church Yeah, there's like I believe Bible verses about humility and like helping the poor But how can you help the poor if you're riding around a Lamborghini and your pause that for a second Taylor? You're riding around a Lamborghini and you're you're you're you're wearing fucking Dior like wouldn't that money be better spent, you know At the soup kitchens and you know helping people who are back on rent and you know Give it back to kids for you know after school or what's called before school drives, etc Listen, there's been millions of people not millions, but there's been plenty of people who manipulated, you know God and religion for financial gain. You know, I look at it a little bit different sometimes They're not talking about, you know, Bishop Whitehead just in general if you have committed your life to God Like in a real way, like if you said this is what I do. I am a pastor. I am a bishop and you are an amazing Pastor like your sermons of fire like people buy into everything that you're saying they love what you do and you build a Congregation over time and people time and they offer and you become wealthy Because of it. What's the problem because here's the thing nobody cares when give it away God told but people do though was God rich if Jesus was rich and Jesus was balling and Jesus was driving like a Lambo camel or whatever the fuck they got around with back then do it But if Jesus was out here in rags Given everything that he had to everyone around him and you're emulating Jesus, but you got the Lambo in the plane There is a disconnection is not a good example though of God I tell you why because of Jesus knew magic, but Jesus was able to do miracles He was able to turn water to wine. He was able to take, you know, two loaves of bread and some fish and make it Plentiful enough for everybody to eat We don't know magic. So the magic is the economics of it All right, so when you have these people like and I use somebody like Bishop TD Jakes does so much for the community of Dallas like so much like provides everything from housing the food everything like he Gives gives gives gives to the community. You can't do that if you're in a position of financial distress I didn't say distress. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't say there's a dip. There is a spectrum between distress and being a multi-millionaire and I Understand the criticism from religious and non-religious people who look at pastors who are incredibly wealthy and say hey I feel like that's more money that could be going to the people because that's what our God says to do Understand their criticism. I'm not saying that listen. This is your life. You could do what you want I'm not a follower of a specific religion So for me to like tell you what to do for your God makes no sense, but I understand that criticism Yeah, I think that's reason I just think it's weird that we want public servants to be poor like I want service of God I don't want service of God. But what what if serving what if submitting your will to God and being a service to God? That's the reason you're wealthy. And by the way, don't get me wrong. There are scamming ass pastors I don't want anybody to think I'm saying that there aren't pastors out here that scam people You know under the guys of God, but what about the ones who really believe? Really out here preaching the word and they're getting blessed for like maybe that's what happens when you submit to God in that way Maybe what happens when you're maybe that's what happens when you're of service to God in that way Maybe we doing it wrong, but the religion teaches you to give it away if literally that's that way like bring I'll say to give it all away. What do you say that? Well, bring up the Bible say what does religion say? Hey, give all your money away, but you're not getting the money God is getting the money No, no, no, but like the money is for Preaching the word the money is not for getting a Lambo. So when that money goes to That I wish we had someone who is more of well-versed on religion here to say if you want to buy a Lambo Why can't you buy a Lambo? That's like saying you that's like saying maybe if I like a path I shouldn't live in a nice house. No, I'm not saying you shouldn't live you shouldn't suffer Well, I think it's like prosperity preaching, right? Like that's the term for this and I think the idea if you look at it a positive way is You're inspiring the people who follow you through what you've achieved because you've let a godly life and If they you know follow a similar path, they'll get the same things I mean that goes back to like the Reverend Ike thing, right? Mm-hmm, never night Reverend Ike was like the most famous prosperity preacher He operated out of I think Harlem uptown in like the 50s and 60s He would literally tell people send me a dollar in the mail and if you do that, you'll get back $5 because that's just silly Well, yeah, that's just nonsense like I got that's that's nonsense to me because I'm not good First of all, we don't a hustler. Yeah, we know we know God don't need money Like that's number one when you say things like oh donate some money to God or you give me this dollar You're gonna be blessed like I don't believe I don't believe in none of that You know me but if you do go to my church every Sunday or you go to my church every week And you're inspired by what I say and inspired by what I do and you want to tie it off with cool And how and how I choose to use the money is how I choose to use the money Yeah, but it's like I guess there's the other thing is that you get rich off someone else's bars He's ain't your bars. Yeah, I mean like no, I mean that like he's ain't your bars He's ain't your song delivery, you know, I mean It is the delivery that matters to but you are taking the greatest things that God has ever said humans have ever said the prophets have ever said over the last 5,000 years Of course, they're gonna touch people So if you're making million if you're making no money off that you're just giving it back to the people I go ooh that guy's out here for the betterness of the betterment of people and this is awesome If you doing it, you're getting rich. I'm like, yo, you're playing the hit those the pastors that suck The pastors that suck are the ones that do the karaoke if all you can read is scriptures The ones that can take that script like you're like you're a comedian. Yeah, you can take a scenario Yeah, and build a whole thing around. Yep. That's what the fire pastors do. Yeah. The fire pastors take a scripture That's true. Yeah, and they say hey, this is the scripture that we're we're learning from today Yeah, and then they can build a whole Different level 100% I don't want this to come across like I and being hyper critical of like a bishop TDJ So there's other guys who have made a lot of money. What's the guy the Houston dude? He gets a lot of being Creffoldo, I was thinking of Osteen. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like yeah, there are many that have now I'm less Critical for example, like if they have a private jet if the use of that private jet is to touch more people and We're like I don't see that I'm more critical of like having 14 cars Then a private jet because you only need a couple cars in order to get to the church to preach to the people You'd need a jet potentially to fly around To so you could preach the word get more people help more people the 14 cars 17 houses these types of things That's where it gets a little bit if he if you're just using God if you're somebody who believes in God But makes your money doing something else make all the goddamn money do you want? Yeah, it's just strange to me like we we don't have no problem with people who make their money buy I don't say nefarious, but like if I'm out here doing music and the music's talking about violence In the degradation of women. Yeah in the celebration of drugs I can make millions of dollars and nobody will ever say anything. Yep, but somebody out here actually Saying something good is being rewarded and we look at it like oh, that's a little sketchy I got I've never I don't I don't understand the lot. It's because they're saying yo God told me to tell y'all to give me money That's why why is that so hard? Hey God told me the other day to bust it open and give me that 10% I don't hear that as much as I used to but to that point. You know what I mean Yeah, I got you to that point. What about activists, right? You have people who literally go out there on the front line Speak on it and they protest They protest they protest for us. Yeah, they're fighting battles that we know nothing about They're the ones getting arrested at the Capitol or anything else and then when they buy 14 houses With the money that was given to them and then hire all their friends and pay their friends millions of dollars We criticize them. No, I'm with you on that but but that should be criticized it You should be able to ask where the money is what I'm talking about Activists that we but no I'm talking about activists that we see actually doing the work Why do we get upset when they ask for donations to do I never I never I never get upset I think that's awesome, and we should donate and we should help these people We want them to be out there on the streets. We want there to them to be fighting for these causes Because clearly we're not doing it full-time, so we need someone else to do it full-time But when it looks like they are personally enriching themselves on those charity from those donations and not furthering those causes That's when we get to be a what's going on, and I think the same thing applies to The the wealth gospel or what what Chris is saying already prosperity gospel Not saying that they shouldn't be able to do it and not saying that they shouldn't also have a life Let's say for example He makes a very reasonable salary takes that money invested in other things that Investment makes a bunch of money and that's why they're so rich. I wouldn't say a single goddamn Oh, but they do that though. I know I know and I wouldn't say so got to end up because they're not directly Profiting that's a great point. You're saying like no if you have a salary that everybody thinks is reasonable Okay, let's say this guy who's touching all these people is making half a million dollars a year But he finds a way where he can turn 250,000 that every year get 20% return and he's involved in all these other deals because people want to work with Because he's a man of God that they trust not because he's trying to manipulate them And then he makes millions off of his other investments not off of the direct money from people that he's saying God Tell me to give money and gives away most of it. I wouldn't criticize him for a sec That's a great point Okay Does those investments through a nonprofit that he doesn't have to pay taxes on because it set up as part of smart Business man. I need to learn the fucking same. I don't know. I mean, I don't feel great about that Well, because that basically Chris is saying whoa, you're using God as a shield You're using your I mean I suppose I mean, you know the Catholic church historically has been the biggest landowner in the entire world I think it's now the Mormon church or something like that Yeah, they're running businesses, but they're not paying taxes on it man You ain't gonna ever see me be angry at nobody who is on the way not to pay God Amen, amen That's how whatever religion could teach me to not pay taxes. I believe in you I believe in your God and you know what to that point everything we're saying here if I saw those tax dollars go Where I actually wanted them to go if I saw them go Communities that needed them if I saw them go to schools if I saw them go to mental health services If I actually knew where my tax dollars were going and who they were impacting in a positive way wouldn't be upset That's true wouldn't care but in fact that I don't know where my taxes are going Let me keep my money because I know what I do You know what I mean, I know where I donate my money. I know my money goes to mental health resources I know my money goes to scholarships at HBCU. I know what I'm gonna do with my money Yeah, you know didn't we build the roads already like that's what I don't like with like they're going to the roads They're going to the highways and it's like they built it Maintenance how much we need to maintain a lot. Is it that much? You want to drive over Brooklyn Bridge that was built 200 years ago for horses I'm in Rome. They got the same roads. They were built 2,000 years ago Because the aliens made them well, let's let's get that's right We need to that this is why they need to just let us know extraterrestrials exist So extraterrestrials can come back down here and do the work today did all those thousands of years ago Oh, that's still staying they did that's your image. They did it right. You know what I mean, what? Jews Pyramids you're trying to take that from us. Yeah, I didn't make you heard my joke about that shit No, I said I said the Jews got the contract for the pyramids. I don't know if they They hired some Mexicans to do that They say the Jews built the pyramids, I never heard this one. This is new you never heard that Oh, that's the whole story of the exodus. Yeah, they enslaved the Jews They brought them down to Israel to work for the pharaohs make the pyramids. Yeah, that's what happens Moses set up people free. Yeah, they're not gonna like that one. You haven't heard this joke. I got no When'd you tell it where I say why say they hired? So then I said the Jews hired some Mexicans to make the pyramids and then I'm like, that's why they say aliens built the pyramids illegal aliens built the pyramids For this so funny from this set For the last and then the other part of the joke is that there are also pyramids in Mexico and nobody questions Who built those? It's only when the Jews build the pyramids that they're like I think aliens came down a hell But nobody and nobody ever wonders. I never heard that. Yeah, I mean people mad at Chris But they're gonna be like, you know what? Let's shoot the nose off Chris There's this series on Netflix right now by this guy named Graham Hancock have you guys it's called ancient apocalypse No, okay, so there's it's getting so much flak because they're basically saying he's a wild conspiracy theorist that they just gave an Eight episode show to right and his whole thing is The reason why there are the pyramids exist the reason why you have these pyramids in Mexico You have these what are called megalithic structures that go with the structure of basically giant rocks formations that they're used to stonehenge Yeah, exactly now there's like now There's a few of these there's like a bunch in turkey. Yeah, they have like Not necessarily pyramids I saw that that was wild you were you actually saw that not in person But I saw pictures bro whole city that they built underground with air tunnels and everything like All the way down to the water level doesn't matter like it's unbelievable thousands of years ago. Well, that's the dispute Archaeologists say oh, this is like it had to be less than 8,000 years ago Because that's when human beings start stopping like hunter-gatherer and started like building societies Right and his whole argument is that that's actually more like 12,000 years ago And he thinks that there was an ancient civilization There were ancient civilizations of humanity right on the planet that existed and then there was a global Cataclysm and that global cataclysm wiped out a huge portion of humanity I've heard it and because of that you have these megalithic structures that still exists This is the theory of the big the big people the tall people In some so basically in some countries. They're tall people Uh-huh and basically like every single culture that has these megalithic structures They all speak of the same exact story, which was a God got pissed off and basically created huge flood Right and sometimes it's Noah's Ark and sometimes it's God got angry and just flooded got rid of all the people They all speak of the same story and what his argument is is these stories are based on truth That has just been passed down and they've been mythologized So you have people going yo, yeah, it's crazy right now because back in the day There are way more people but there was this huge flood and wiped out everybody and we were the lone survivors And that story gets passed out passed out passed out and eventually, you know, they throw They throw these structures together and they put these different things on the structures They put a snake on the structure. Well, what is a snake his argument that a snake? Was is what people see as like comets, so they're like sky snakes And there's a reason why every one of these megaliths has like snake features on them is because it was the snake that hit For earth like when I was asked about like why are there dragons in Chinese mythology and dragons in Irish myth, I believe all that should exist at that point. Yeah, 100% I don't care. What's the takeaway is there what he thinks is there is this global cataclysm that happened before what it's called the younger Dryas so that's like 12,000 years ago or something like that and it basically the world the earth Entered the belt of an asteroid. So It's it's not that an asteroid hit earth, but earth basically went through the The belt and like remnants of an asteroid and because of that got absolutely demolished by all these smaller Asteroids right and because of that you have asteroids hitting the fucking ice. It's the ice age They're hitting this like massive glacial shelf that covers all of North America Well, when you have something on fire that's massive hitting ice one You're not going to see the remnants of it because it hits ice that ice melts So now you don't see any holes, but you have crazy flooding, right? You have all these Floods that create these like amazing landscape shapes and they're created almost instantaneously They're not created over a hundred million years like a lot of things we've seen they're created over fucking weeks It's like two real hurricane floods So that's happening in America other places. Imagine. Where would you build an underground city? Well, when you saw what happened above ground you saw fucking The flood thing is very peculiar But I think maybe that was more like asteroid concern and a flood would only happen if you were near Glacial areas, so if you're in Turkey, I think it's high up on the plains. I did read that in Turkey It's like elevated. Yeah, that is real though because like if you go to like some of these islands after they've been hit by a hurricane You can see how the hurricane reshaped the whole whole island sometimes even better looks even more beautiful It's nature is the wildest thing while the wildest thing. We're fucking ants. We have not only are we ants We have no idea about anything. Well, I swear to God When I went to the antelope Canyon, I saw horseshoe Bend, which is just amazing it's basically the I guess the Colorado River over a hundred million years It's just a hundred million years of water flow has like slowly carved out this beautiful horseshoe shape Amongst other things, but it is 4,000 feet down and is the most amazing thing most profound thing you'll ever see in life It's unbelievable what a hundred million years of water passing through a space can do and I was looking at it And it was sunset and now we were walking off my wife and I were walking off I looked back and because it was sunset every person was silhouetted So all we saw with these little black specks and those little black specks looked like ants and you couldn't see a single building Or a house anywhere around it looked like we had zoomed into a piece of fucking dirt and seen little critters walking on it That's how small we will small and that's how small we are And I don't understand why we treat the earth the way we treat the earth when the reality is the earth has seen it all Looking at us like y'all y'all keep fucking up. Yeah, that's when we ready to get when I'm ready to get ready y'all It's over. What do you want? How are we gonna do this? Volcano hurricane Asteroid, what we gonna do this? I got it all That's literally how you have to look at it and if you look at it like we're all connected right mm-hmm Earth is like let's call a let's call a lot people to bring them asteroid. Yeah, it's time. I thought that was fun simple as that Simple as that. I do not understand why we don't respect the earth more because of what you just say bro Anyway, this this you should watch this series It's really fun the episodes are kind of fun a little conspiratorial But I kind of subscribe to it a bit when you try to explain like how we built the eight You know the pyramids that some people say could go back even 30,000 years not just 4,000 years, and it's like it is completely possible the question often is like Well, how could people have this advanced technology while they're still hunter-gatherers and it's like buddy They're hunter-gatherers now. We have Elon Musk Living at the same time as a hunter-gatherer There's a guy who's making spaceships and going to the fucking Mars at the same time as there's an Amazonian tribe That is hunting for their food every single day these two people exist in the same time frame good point now if this Global cataclysm happened maybe it wiped out all the remnants of the technology and these other things they used to build it I think that's the hardest thing for me to subscribe to which is like where are the homes Where do these people live if there was an advanced technology in advanced society? Where are they? Like where's the tools? Where's all the shit? You know, we say that right and we expect to see some like great monuments are great housing Yo, if they really were that advanced they were advanced enough to know live off the land I mean they were advanced enough to know that less is more Most people that have that level of intellect that level of genius. They know they don't need all this This is our new generation of geniuses that do all of that We need all these things to be happy, but when you exist for 10,000 years. Yeah, you start to Look how Warren Buffett like allegedly lives. Yeah, I'll buy that You know Warren Buffett had a fire-ass bar this woman was interviewing him I was shocked even said that shit woman's interview and she's like, yeah How much made you just carry around and he's like, I don't know three four hundred dollars and like that So she's like such is like what you have in your wallet. He's like Yeah, I'll show you. She's like she goes. Yeah, I'd love to see he goes. Yeah women often do This guy's got to worry about his PR his image and he's just called this Does he Did a panel last week at the operation hope conference with Tony wrestler and my man John hope Brian and ti and killer Mike and Tony was talking and John was like he was like and Tony was like maybe I shouldn't say that John said say what you want your billionaire And Tony rest of these older than Atlanta Hawks, but that's the truth though It's like what are you gonna do the Warren Buffett? What they gonna do the Warren Buffett what they gonna do What are you gonna do the Warren Buffett man? That's how you know Warren's really a good guy That's how you know what and I don't know any of them personally. Yeah, but that's how you know the Warren Buffett to the world Bill Gates Who else Bernard Arnault? Yeah, Jeff Bezos. Yeah Elon the only one that's out here while Well, cuz those those and billionaires for a long time and ain't really out here just wilding on people Well, cuz those guys are more gates people are coming after for sure gay people. Oh, yeah It's gates gates. Yeah, but even trying to cancel gates, but they think they think gates have too much influence on the world No, well, this is what I think it is is like they I think when you're a billionaire and you just accept that you're a billionaire And you're not looking for people's approval. You're just looking to make more money. Yeah People are okay. Yeah, when you want to be a billionaire, that's well liked. That's when everybody takes your ass down Who got in trouble Bill Gates Bill Gates went on do he tried to be a saint? By what by donating money by being a philanthropist now by curing all the illnesses and all this kind of Mean like what's wrong with it? No, there's nothing wrong with it It's a beautiful thing But what I think people go is like yo You I think people are looking at this and shout out to Bill Gates who came to my Radio City show But like what out the whole first row brought out the whole first guy No, not the first row. It was a row. It was a whole row by itself. No, no, it's just it was just Florida That's still a lot. It's like 20 seats in a row. No, no, but they only had four seats There wasn't they didn't buy out the whole row the picture. I saw nobody was around them No, that was be the people sitting but there were people around them. Oh, I thought they bought out the whole row Yo, the thing is the thing is They probably tried but it was sold out But no, but he basically did is like, okay, I'm gonna cure malaria. I'm gonna cure AIDS I'm gonna get drinking water in Africa I'm gonna be a good guy and I think what happens is all these people look and they go whoa Well, you weren't a good guy when you fucking got the The patent on that Xerox shit and enacted like it was yours and you weren't a good guy when you Created a monopoly over here and screwed over these got you a ruthless businessman over here But now you want to be looked at as the savior of all humanity. Oh fuck you we're taking you down What's wrong with that though if we're giving past this shit and saying no, no, no, what I'm saying What I'm saying is this is I'm not saying whether something's right or wrong I'm just describing the human reaction like for example when somebody goes out there and they go I want to save the environment the first thing when someone goes you should save the environment I believe in saving the environment, right? If you're a person that doesn't care about the environment that makes you feel bad You're like, oh shit am I not as good as that person so instead of changing your behavior You look to point out while they're a hypocrite. It's just what human beings do So Leonardo DiCaprio goes we got to save the environment and the knee-jerk reaction is to go motherfucker You fly private around the world You are worse for the environment than any of us you tell me not use plastic bags Which is about me valid point I guess but but we would rather them be hypocrites than us change our behavior And I think what happens is the Warren Buffett's and that's a real all these other guys that make billions about the R Knows, I don't know what our know does. I don't know what they do either and he don't need to be liked you're on out here Wanted to be liked. It's it's He he he goes he basically put out the you saw him put out the pole Yeah Should I still be calling for a do-over after Twitter users voted only overwhelmingly to oust him at CEO He not called for a do-over though. You know what's so stupid about that Elon? You had to know people was gonna say yes We want you to fuck out. Oh, he has the data you had to know that like what like what or maybe he thought in his mind Like this this backlash any really that real let me throw this I mean that should didn't that should just scream like do you guys like me? He does it every day. Yeah, I see him seeking attention every day I'm you know, it's one of the reasons I hate social media You're not gonna be a billionaire and liked by everybody you could be liked by everybody or be a billionaire You cannot be both man shows you don't even got to put billionaire in front of shit millionaire even you're not even millionaire You're not gonna be a person Like by everybody Right, that's just not the way the world works. It's not designed that way. It never has been it never will be But when you are a billionaire or a public figure, there's more of a target on your back Yep, people do not want to like you. Yeah, that's why I don't understand why people focus on the folks that don't fuck with them Like why would you spend all day long trying to convince people? Yeah, fuck with you to fuck with you Focus on those people arriving for you every single day give them the attention You know how much more they appreciate that attention man. Come on, man I guess the people that support, you know, they don't speak up like that. They just support You know, they just come to your shows or they just tune into your radio They just watch television or they just support your story that you have they just support. Yeah, you know focus on that Elon said he is gonna step down and he finds a Suitable a suitable which I'm sure has a million of people that are suitable to run Twitter I mean, I'm sure his goal was always to step down You know, like I'm sure he is a CEO for SpaceX. I'm sure he has a CEO for the boring company I imagine maybe he's still the CEO for Tesla. Maybe he's not but I'm assuming every one of his companies He has like a chief operating officer or CEO somebody who can look over the company So having a nut having a CEO at Twitter isn't the ideal thing for him, right? But Yeah, so I don't think he'd lost much by doing this poll. He still owns the company Yeah, but he just found out I guess more people were not into him, which is obviously gonna hurt his feelings I keep going back to everything that I've told I've said before None of these companies are going really really flourish until there's some type of regulation Hmm, and I think it needs to be FCC rules and regulations. These are broadcast platforms You have to treat them like every other broadcast platform You got to treat them like all the traditional broadcast platforms whether it's TV radio Newspaper whatever it needs to have that same type of regulation because the truth to the matter is it's just too much power It's really that simple. No one man should have all that period. It's just too much power It has too much influence. Connie was talking about when he said that This guy really is a comedic asshole You want to do Nord VPN?

It's the holidays, man Yo, I do have a church announcement We went to Morocco. Okay to watch Morocco play France now I know they're playing a guitar, but we want to watch the Moroccan people so last-minute decision we fly to Morocco and We did this whole we basically created a whole You know documentary out of it Vlog is what the kids will call it, but we got to find a better name than vlog But so that's up right now my the Andrew Schultz channel. You can go watch is there I mean, it's crazy. We're fucking their snake charmers in the streets for taking pictures of cobras They're throwing monkeys at us. It's like Marrakesh. We're Marrakesh. Yeah. Yeah, dude They got the greatest. I almost don't want to give away the hustle right now But like this is one of the best hustles I've seen so when you're in this what's called a souk the bizarre Culturally it's a whole negotiation So they'll tell you if they're selling you a bottle of water the bad guys is $500 and then you got of their dollars You got to negotiate down and do this whole thing. What is $500 in American though 50 bucks for a bottle of water. It's not that. Oh They might be like, oh, this is a 2020 Durham, I got you $2 and you got to negotiate everything so It's part of the culture part of negotiation My little thing that I would do with them because I don't like negotiating with like third-world countries It just feels bad. So what I do but they like the game, right? So what I do is if the guy goes, okay, give me 300 for this I'll get them down to what I feel like is a respectable price. So he goes, it's 300. I'm like, listen, it's a hundred bucks I'll do the whole thing where I walk away. It's this dance that they love to do they come back He goes, okay 150 we agree on 150 and then I just give them the 300 because it's fucking 10 more dollars to me But to them it's huge and then their reaction is they feel like you respected them by negotiating, right? That's beautiful But at the same time they're like, oh, I really appreciate that you gave me that that tip and it'll keep them honest Yeah, they want to try to get over on people because they realize like if I'm fair Then I get might get blessed and then they start giving you extra things like he gave me this ring and there's other They don't know it's really cool. Anyway, so so so dove is negotiating with this guy He's just trying to buy this Moroccan flag and the guy starts at a thousand dove gets him down to 375 Okay, this is their money not ours. Okay Dove goes I'm fucking with them. I'm I'm trying my hardest to make the price go up I'm going over on like this flag looks nice. I think you should charge 600 like You negotiate with a guy who got no teeth like give him all the money he asked for right So also doves Moroccan, right? So I'm like if anything you know the rockin if he's these yes He's Moroccan Moroccan Jewish Moroccan Jew there was plenty of Jews in Morocco. Yeah. Oh, yeah, so So basically we walk away from the negotiation does feel great about himself got that motherfucker down to 375 I'm a guy who's part of the crew runs back right with a $20 bill the doves paid for $20 would be the 200, right? Mm-hmm. And he goes. Hey, there's no work There's no work like it's fake So I look at this for a second. I'm like, holy shit My initial thought is you cheap motherfucker Did you get counterfeit $20 bills to rip off? Your fucking Moroccan countrymen in the soup when they don't know anything about American currency You piece of absolute fucking garbage, right? I could this is your countrymen. How are you gonna do this? Also, where you get in the fake 20s like I'm like my brain is exploding with these ideas right Dove changes out a 20 and gives him 200 which is the same of their money, right? So I'm like, oh my god, you piece of shit. What was it fake 20? So no then Alex goes. Oh shit He just got dove. I go what he goes They switched out the 20 on their end hilarious they switch out the 20 on there and bring back the fake 20 Tell you that you're paying with a fake 20. Yeah, you switch out give them real money So now you pay double for the garment. Damn. That was a genius fucking husband. He always in the Brooklyn part of Morocco Yes, there was some scammers out there Damn it was it was and the crazy thing is the guy is in is you're around all these other people There's other tourists. There's other vendors, etc. And he's holding a 20 accusing you of it being fake If you walk away from that, it looks like you're ripping off these Moroccans Yeah, and you don't know if the other dudes in the suit are gonna come for you Someone's trying to fuck you up. You can't steal from the people. So you kind of get like caught up in it I mean, it was one of the most beautiful scams plus who checks your 20 before you give it to somebody And the person receiving it always checks it they do that in America, all right fair enough They do that with every money. They hold it up to the light. You know what I mean? Yeah They do that with everything. Anyway, so as well. Go check that us up on my YouTube right there, Morocco. Yeah I tip I I'm American everywhere. You got to take I mean you I mean is it expected? Oh, no, it's expecting from Americans because we tip but like if I go to Europe and tipping ain't part of the culture I still tip yeah me like because my culture is better than yours. Yeah, so I need to I need to Put my culture on a short respect and let me tell you something that they love appropriating that Not never once has a waiter been like, oh, please get your American culture out of here with this huge tip That you just bestowed upon me, right? So they really love that part of American But you could deal with me being loud at the table, too So I'm American wherever I go, I get it take the good and the bad listen, I'm with it especially in countries that uh, like that services their form of Services their main form of making money. Yeah, you really got a tip then you really got to show how I like to bust it on but sometimes these motherfuckers were getting a little spicy the the guys at the souk They're gonna go they're like, oh, oh the white people you do you know to know how to negotiate What and I'm like motherfucker like I don't have the heart to say but like weren't you colonized? That's the greatest negotiation ever for zero It wasn't really That's how you know it's the best by force. Yes Me paying you extra is is like a my bad. That's reparations. I'm repairing. I don't know what the hell you talking about I'm repairing And I wasn't even the French I'm not even the French so but I was repporating Reppor free.

Now think about it I ain't never seen a pass to give a speech that fire and get 47 billion dollars Passes be having some fire. That's facts, bro. This is why final funding bill includes 45 billion for Ukraine How much is that on top of 40 40? That's a lot of billion dollars. I think 65 already 65 already. So we talking about a buck 10 110 billion dollars, bro So they getting eight billion dollars more than the 37 billion president Biden asked Congress for last month You cannot get mad at American people when they're pissed off about shit like this show When Americans are pissed off about shit about what's going on in our country and how fucked up schools are how fucked up Affordable housing is you know how they're not donating money. They just help services all of these different things they just got to explain to us how this benefits us and They probably does in some weird geopolitical way by like applying this pressure to Russia It limits their influence on the world and by limiting Russia's influence on the world it includes Increases our influence and by having more influence we get goods for cheaper oil for cheaper blah blah blah I don't know exactly. I don't know but you got to explain to us please I given them 47 billion makes it better for me, please man Cuz that's not their money. Tell us the geopolitical ramifications of this shit That's our money. See it. That's the people's money government. Oh god. No money. Why do you think Chris? I mean, I think you nailed it I mean, I think it's part of our larger American strategy going back, you know 1,500 years of you contain things so in theory if Putin's about to Start I mean it probably has a lot to do with oil Is the best way you could frame it that you don't want Russia controlling all the Europe coming I mean oil coming out of Europe and or two Europe going to go to Europe in the market But I got to be honest. I I'm trying to look at it a million different ways I have a hard time justifying it I do get a kick out of the Republicans who are looking at their phones and not clapping and basically I love that. They've been doing that since the Obama era Right, but you got to remember is someone my age who grew up in the 70s and 80s when Russia was the ultimate boogeyman The ultimate bad guy and who was the Russians greatest enemies? Merrick Rocky Yeah, but the Republicans that's the Republicans spent Forget about billions trillions of dollars. We got to contain the rushes now. You could argue Okay, that's Russia the Soviet Union versus Russia a Putin But the the the larger argument that the Republicans held up for decades and decades and spent so much money and time was The Russian mindset is one that if we don't contain them, they're gonna take over the world They don't value things the way we value things. They're a different type of people We have to keep them in check. This isn't Putin a old-school Russian like of course He is so I'm like now the fact that the Russians have flipped and supporting Putin and not wanting to contain Russia, you know that this is all BS You know, it's so what's gonna keep somebody like Putin, you know Who they say allegedly is you know under the weather what you've been saying you've been said that a long time ago Right play as cancer is more than under the weather I can't he actually has it the theory is either as Parkinson's or cancer and he's in the later stages of it Allegedly still I think that's cap. I think that's put out by Russia. Okay, but I think that's Russia But even even so what's to stop Putin from hitting the button? Because regardless of whether you say you're participating in the war if you funding who I'm going after now we at war That's what I'm saying. Oh, I mean look you can look at us How close do we come to hitting the button when Russia was sending money to Cuba and arms to Cuba? Why that shit was on our backyard Ukraine it's it's closer than the backyard. They share a border. Mm-hmm. So I mean we talked about this the other day It's a public display of support for Ukraine beyond public and it's been beyond public. Yeah, you know, I mean So now you're bringing us into potential war with Russia You can't tell me you're not at war with me if you funded my animal But how much of our foreign policy for the last 60 70 years has been about containing Russia And Russia this is the most aggressive they've been since right after World War two. Yeah, but no and to your point Nobody's going to your point to show them you say they have to show us how this benefits America Nobody's going nobody's buying that war with other countries benefits America anymore We haven't seen it not where it matters because at the end of the day We're still going to be passing through these porn disenfranchised neighborhoods Wondering where the money is going. You know what I mean? Like if these are our tax dollars go back What I'm saying about taxes if these are our tax dollars. I don't want my tax dollars going to that shit I don't know what's going on. But then you got to also say it's not just Whether it's 60 billion an additional 41 billion She got a you got a look at the US defense budget and it's totality 800 plus billion 0.6 trillion. Oh really? Yeah, I just thought I'm approved like this is nothing This is nothing. I think everything we're saying is fair But if you look at it through that lens then you have to say then why are we spending all this money in general? Jesus Is that annually? Yeah, Jesus Christ. I just saw them vote for the annual bill which is like 800 something billion But god damn they increased it. I think 8% this year. Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know man. What else we got Taylor Let's do some shit. You won't care about next week Uh push your tears revealed in a new interview that he is no longer president of good music In fact, he's not affiliated with the label in any way push your toe double XL I mean I can understand that. I mean, I don't even know what good music is anymore Like who's on good music? I don't I don't know big Sean is I don't know if tianna Taylor still is Push is not I don't even know what good music is anymore. But also too man. I was thinking about just the other day You know, oh, are people still talking about Kanye? We're talking about push it right now But it does relate to Kanye. It's almost dry fantastic album If I had to rank it it's definitely in my top two hip-hop albums of the year My number one hip-hop album is Kendrick Lamar. Mr. Morales in the big step was I'm on record saying I think it's the most important hip-hop album of all time But both of those albums are nominated for I believe rap album of the year at the Grammys I wonder how much Kanye's bullshit Is going to impact push your teas chances of winning Because the fact that Kanye produced six songs on that album he produced more than half the album I wonder if the the people who vote for the Grammys are going to hold that against Do you really think push it tea is a chance of beating Kendrick Lamar this year? Yes You just said that Kendrick Lamar's album was the most important album to me But the category is rap album of the year and you know, it's a lot of factors that go into it Like Kendrick's always the Grammy darling. We know this Pusha is 44 years old You know what I mean all due respect to pusha there is More of a chance of you Being a chinese person Than of him winning a Grammy over Kendrick Lamar I don't know this because it's a push this first time being nominated either Pusha's been nominated for rap album of the year before and he's been putting out so many great bodies of work There's actually a real story around pusha's album. No question. There's no fact that he's 40 plus years old He's like i'm the martin's gonna say is he a rap i've been rapping about this Street shit for so long, but I do it in such an eloquent way. Yeah, I don't know about that I I agree with you and and and you know, it's Kendrick Lamar. Yes, and this is no disrespect to pusha There's no disrespect to his skill as a rapper like I'm not even Like this massive rap fan and I recognize how brilliant he is. There's no question but when it comes to Grammys this is a popularity contest at the end of the day and Kendrick is just more popular Especially within the industry and it's just an easier go to I I would agree with you but for some reason I think pusha does have an uh, uh A chance at rap album of the year. Gotcha rap album. The fact that it's rapping Gotcha, you know because because Kendrick's also nominated an album Of the year. Who do you think wins that album of the year that plenty, right? I don't know the grammy's a little tricky. You know what I mean the grammy's would give it to a Beyoncé A kindrick I haven't heard It gotta be bad. I'm not gonna sit here and say Beyoncé's gonna win because when I thought that when I thought Lemonade was gonna win the album of the year Adele won So I don't know. Bad Bunny's the biggest artist in the world. Mary J Blige was nominated for album of the year Wow for good morning gorgeous the deluxe. Wow I don't know who wins album of the year. If you ask me who I think should win I ain't heard all of those albums even give that opinion. I've heard Mary J Blige, Kendrick Beyoncé I've never listened to Apple Adele, Bad Bunny, Brandy Carlisle, Coldplay, Harry Styles Lizzo I have not listened to those albums. So I don't know but rap album of the year I'm not counting Push your tea out. I just wonder how much the Kanye effect of it all is going to impact You know Voters especially this year Um, what we got Taylor? What else some shit you won't care about next week What Tyler Perry do Tyler Perry has opened up about attempting to hinder in his own life Following the news of the death of dancer Steven twist boss I mean, I think everybody's been there. I haven't attempted you've you've been there. Have you ever been in shows? What attempts are the thought about it? About killing myself. Yeah Yeah, but not not to do it everybody thinks every time you're at the edge of a building you go Yeah, I could jump off the building. Yeah, you don't think that Thought about stuff like that. Yeah, but I don't think that that makes you suicidal I think you you look at it. It's almost like I do I have control of my destiny Could I choose to do something that is detrimental to my health if I want to yes Or no because you don't end up doing it But yeah, really contemplating suicide like being suicidal is I want to do it not I could Yeah, I think about all that at all the time the one time that I thought I was now that I look back on it I was just One of those people who was trying to get attention from my girlfriend who had broke up with me Yeah Yeah, she's my now wife. Yeah But so you didn't even really want to kill yourself. You want to I thought I did but I realized I just And then she gave you attention. You're like, oh, I don't want to kill myself She ain't really give me no She gave me attention, but she gave she gave me the attention I needed which was I'm calling you goddamn father because I ain't doing with this shit Is this is this the next thing we're going to popularize what are we going to make like being suicidal normal? No, that's I don't think that's popular. I mean, I think people I think it's a lot of people out there I don't like to your point. I don't know when I'm really I've never been really serious about it I think when you're really serious about it, you attempt it or you complete it You know, yeah, yeah, you know, I think I think when you're really serious about it I think sometimes you can get so down that you feel like, you know, there's no way out But then you might say what's your therapist or you might have a conversation with somebody that pulls you Off the ledge that you know brings you back to The the the reality of the moment, you know I'm not saying that those people aren't dealing with reality because I told y'all already Or maybe I didn't tell y'all I have a whole different Philosophy philosophy about suicide now. Okay and I think it's some people just know When they're ready to go And I think it's as sad as we may look at that You know, and we want these people to get help But I think when they know they know and they're just they're just ready And what made me really truly think about that was, you know, somebody who we lost that I know was very strategic You know what I'm saying? And I know did everything with intention, you know So when that person decided this is the day that I want to exit They decided to exit and if you go and you look at like the social media You know, there were things that that person was saying That let you know like they were they were saying things like I wonder what my next life is going to be like I learned about myself during, you know, just this quarantine that I would have jumped off the slave ship a long time ago They were saying these things So I think sometimes people just make up their mind and just like how when we're ready to wrap this podcast up We're going to wrap it up. I think some people You know come to that conclusion. Yeah, I just do I think they're like too I've been thinking about it a lot but more in the terms of chronic illness Because what you're starting to see in europe is like assisted suicide is becoming more popular More popular normalized if you want to use that word and I think about it like right Like if you had one of these terrible chronic conditions, wouldn't you rather End it on your terms. Yeah, I guess with your family around you. Well, you're still fun Yeah, you know, it's not the type of stuff you want to think about but like frankly as you get older Like you start thinking about this and he's your parents age and you see, you know, it's like I think that's different than depression. I think the difference with depression is people would say You feel that way in the moment, but you're going to get out of that moment Yeah, you're making a permanent decision based off of and you don't want to give up right now because it's it's going to get better Whereas if you got one of these diseases, there's no There's not necessarily I agree. That's my understanding of suicide is it is Life becomes an unbearable burden, right? It is just pain every single day and it just becomes so much that you're like, I need a break I just need a break from this And suicide is the break sure and I think with the chronic illness that happens with Uh Maybe chronic depression it gets that way and it's incredibly sad. I've never experienced that I've never felt like I want to kill myself ever like I I really enjoy. I'm very fortunate that I really enjoy Living and everything. I thank God for it all. Yeah, everything that being said when I am on something high I always look over and I go It's human. Yeah, I also have a crippling fear of heights right 988 that's the suicide prevention hotline. 988 is the suicide prevention hotline, man You know, and we don't want nobody making no permanent decisions based off temporary feelings But facts I do I do just wonder I do think sometimes I really feel like some people just know and then you'll hear things about like Hey, you know, they were so at peace You know days before they did it nobody saw anything. They didn't think anything was wrong You know, I think because they've just made up their mind like what if it's a calling Like what if your next life or next dimension is calling you? What if you just know? Hey man, I've I'm done here. I don't know. No, but then there's the pain that the people Who you leave behind who love you that's selfish though, right? That's I mean that's selfish of us to think like that You know, of course, of course, we have every right to be hurt and we have every right to grieve But we don't know what was going on with that individual That's why most people probably don't do it that are very depressed or suffering from chronic illness They know the pain that they would impose on their Their family members. Yeah, but um I think we should move on before we all commit suicide, right? 988 are you saying we should kill this topic? Yeah, we should definitely kill this That's what we do when we get uncomfortable. Exactly. I'm sorry. All right. I don't know. I don't know any other way to get out Yo, I was trying. Oh Lil Yachty don't want to have sex no more. I don't blame him find you a goddamn queen and get married. Lil Yachty Lil Yachty said he doesn't have his casual sex anymore. So look to that king.

That is true Like why you need a zip on your ankles? You think fashion is wearing a sweatsuit every single day I don't know what fashion is. I don't think about it. Do I look you?

I do Uh, nick papa bitch says, how do you think the overcorrection era we're in now ends our balance is out? It's already balancing out It is balancing. I feel it's already balanced. It's like it is balancing up the people who recognize the overcorrection are winning And putting out great content and people are gravitating to those people and because We are winning The industry is forced to accommodate I think it's balancing out because people realize that everybody went too fucking far. Yeah You know what i'm saying? Like I think everybody went too far and we realized that it's not sustainable because it's all a circular firing squad But if you came up in a certain era, you were doing or saying something that is not considered acceptable now You know what I mean? So I don't give a fuck who it is and you will end up Canceling out one of your faves. You know what I mean? Because you want to hold people to a standard That's just not uh, unrealistic. It's unrealistic and I ain't even talking about entertainment. I'm talking about all across the board politicians, you know Spiritual leader anybody everybody got some shit with them if you came up in a certain era Um, can you scroll down a slightly Taylor because this one looks interesting from Blake long Yes, I think it's balancing out Is the angle of the dangle really inversely proportional to the beat of the meat? I like that I like that. I like that. You know why I like this question because what does that mean even? Oh, I know exactly what it means when I woke up from my angle of the thing Yeah When I woke up from cold colonoscopy, did you call it a cock hole that'll not be it clearly was right?

Wow. This is the meat pick you take And you know, you fake leak it Wow, you know I'm saying you think because it looks cooler that your dick is facing down I don't know what it was. I'm just telling you the angle of my dangle in that moment Yeah, when I stood up it was inversely proportioned Yeah To look like the type of meat you would want to leak when you're fully erect is your dick pointing a little bit up Always. Okay. Good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah always. It's all about the angle of the dangle, baby All about the angle of the dangle uh rick james 244 says what the fuck did a rat just fall out the goddamn You didn't see that shit just fall out the vent Bro some shit just jumped out the vent bro.
