 So stupid, it's positively brilliant. The brilliant podcast. The brilliant podcast. Shalom in the gut. And the sheltz. We are the brilliant idiots podcast. Quarantine edition, baby. Yeah. I'm not taking the risks. Shots he's taking. I'm in the studio. Have you out there in the streets? Are you quarantined in the studio? Nah, like I go from my crib to the studio. That's the rule. Everybody got to go crib to studio. Too much action, baby. You think so? Too much action for New York City, man. Take a motorcycle to work. Like a fucking badass, dude. This quarantine turned me into a badass. Do you wipe the motorcycle down? Say again? Do you wipe the motorcycle down? No, I'm going fast. Huh? I'm going fast, bro. I'm going fast. Do you wipe it down before you get on it? No, because I feel like if you go fast, the Rona isn't going to be able to settle on it. Listen, they said that the Rona can live. Hold on, I just saw this shit. Hold on, yo, this shit is crazy. This shit is scary. It's not scary. It's just like, what the fuck, yo? Can I ask you a question? Yes. And this is maybe you don't recognize this as much because you're out in Jersey in luxury, you know, in your beautiful home. Let's talk about it with your tiles that need to be redone. I don't like these ceiling tiles. Let's talk about it. That's brand new. What is the basement though? It's the man cave, though. Like this, there was there was nothing even down here. Well, they need some real tiles up there. You need Michelangelo to paint some shit. No, I think you go ceiling art. Yeah, dude. No, I mean, because there was nothing. There was nothing down here. Plus, I'm not I'm not I'm not staying in this house. It's probably like my last year in this house. Oh, where are you going? Yeah, something a little bigger. Really? Yeah, life is good, man. Broke you spending money. You want me to? Life is listen, by the way, you know, your phone because that's gonna distract you the whole time. Put down your phone, bro. Hold on, I want to read you. I want to read you this Warren Buffett quote. Oh, it's Warren talking. Oh, when he went in the street to buy or something like that. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. It's hitting hard, bro. The great one. My financial guy sent me this. The great Warren Buffett once said when he was speaking about investing in the stock market, be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful. I'm a hungry hippo. I'm just I still everybody got a little that has a little money right now is just waiting for that stock market to dip. It already has historic lows, baby. Yeah, but it came back up. I think it came back up to like 20,000. Yeah, but that shit went right back down like in like hours. Like it went up right when they announced the deal. Yep. And then it went it went right back down. It's going to be like that for a while, though. Oh, once what Trump is paranoid about is is the unemployment numbers to come come out because right now this is the week everybody gets fired. Yeah, it's going to be bad. Because now these companies were like, how long is this shit going to go down? And it looks like it's going to be a couple months from what I say, from what I see. So once companies realize that, they go, OK, I got to lay off all the staff. So not everybody, not a central is getting laid off this week. And then more layoffs after and people getting paid cuts is going to be real out there, man. Now, it's going to be bad. I'm going to be honest with you, we can get into. You know, we start this show off by doing, you know, things that we think are positively brilliant and things that we think are fucking idiotic. I'm going to be honest with you, this is going to sound crazy. I can I can see why Trump has an approval rating of 60 percent. Talk to me for the quote, a quote, a coronavirus, the way he's handling the coronavirus. And I tell you why. OK. The past six days or seven days, however long it's been, Donald Trump has been on TV every single fucking day. Now, there's been no counter-programming to that from the Democratic side, from the people that are supposed to be presidential candidates. You just saw, you know, Joe Biden, he did something yesterday. I think Bernie did something over the weekend before, like, five, six days. All you saw was Donald Trump, right? So whether yes, he did handle it all fucked up when it first started. But now he looks like he's trying to fix it. And his messaging is so simple because it's like, look, this is not our problem. It started in China. They created it. But I'm going to fix it by throwing a goddamn bag at you. It's such simple messaging for Americans to motherfucking understand. And I just think it makes him, whether you agree with it or not, it makes him look like he is leading. It makes him look like he is a leader. It's he's the person that people see every single day on television controlling the narrative of this motherfucker coronavirus. And yesterday, you know, people got upset with him for being optimistic for saying, look, we're going to be back open by Easter. Like it's some stupid shit to say, because all the scientists and, you know, the experts say differently, but when you're the leader of the free world, when you're the president, aren't you supposed to give the people a little bit of hope? Hey, bro. And you do it on Easter. The economy will be resurrected on Easter, baby. That's kind of brilliant. It's kind of brilliant. Yeah, I agree with you with brilliant. I will say this, this might be a historic event that's about to happen right now. I'm going to disagree with you on Trump. Talk to me. I think he's been doing a horrible job. I think that he is not taking this seriously. I think the branding of it as a Chinese virus is good because China tried to flip it and they tried to blame it on like American soldiers that were in China. So I think he was trying to nip that in the bud. But Chris is unmuting his Chris is unmuting his mic right now. Chris is coming out. Throwing stars going through the computer. No, it's but I think that he's being foolish. And I think that he's so afraid of fucking up the economy that he would rather people go to work, catch it and a bunch of old people die. And we have a health crisis on our hands. Then fuck the economy up and scoop the economy. I think by the way, I agree with you a hundred percent. I'm just saying the perception of the perception pitch like what you just said. There should have been a Democrat every day for the past six days. What you said there was a programing. There was. He just wasn't a presidential candidate yet. But you know, Cuomo Cuomo has positively brilliant, delivered. That's why I was going to say for positively brilliant. This guy has been delivering with presidential pro-es for the last week or two. And, bro, he did a couple of things that were really interesting. First of all, I feel like different times call for different leaders. Right. Right now. You need a Democrat because you need someone whose whose attitude is not. Hey, everybody pull themselves up by the bootstraps. When there's a fucking global pandemic, it's like, well, shit, help me with a bootstrap. You need coddling. You need coddling. You need somebody rubbing you on your back, holding your hand, telling you everything's going to be OK. Spoon me. Spoon me. Right. But here's the thing. Also, you don't need a pussy ass Democrat that's like pandering to every group and is a total cock, etc. You actually need an Italian Democrat because, you know, an Italian is going to say shit like you're being disrespectful. Calm yourself down. Right. But he's also going to say, I got you. I'm going to send some bread over to your mother's house. Everybody's going to be fine. So you need someone who is sweet and endearing, but also tough and might punch you in your fucking mouth if you speak out. You feel safe with the tough guy, but you also feel taken care of by the Democratic leadership. And it's like if Cuomo was in the election now, it's his. And I think this, if he rides this wave, gives him a really good look at 2024. Oh, yeah, a star is being born with Governor Cuomo. 100 percent. It's it's not even close. A star is definitely being born. I said that I actually thought him and Gavin Newsom of California were doing really great jobs. I think Cuomo is killing them, though. Because it's like it's like watching Tim and Swiss do a beat battle. Like Swiss got slappers, but having he got slappers. But Tim got some classics, bro. Cuomo, Cuomo looks he looks really sturdy. Yeah, sturdy, man. And he's keeping people nice and calm, but giving them the urgency of the situation, letting them know. Look, if you don't get in the motherfucking house, this shit ain't going to get no better, bro. Yeah, I like that. I like that because right now, man, that's why I want to give, you know, you know, what a fucking idiot to all you motherfuckers who just won't stay to fuck home. But what the fuck is wrong with y'all? It's literally like being Noah and Noah's telling people to get on the arc and they're not listening. Yeah, so now you got to take you got to take some delight in watching y'all drown. Yeah, yeah. It's crazy because the way that Americans react to the coronavirus is completely weather dependent. Right, when it's when it's cold outside, everybody's like, yo, we got a quarantine. We got to buckle up. It's, you know, we got to take this shit seriously. But soon as it's a nice day, it's 60 and fucking sunny. We're playing tennis, soccer, motherfuckers are wrestling in the park, making up shit, making up shit, talking about hot. He kills it. He kills it. We run fast. Yeah, as if it's not in the fucking Caribbean, as if the islands don't have a couple of corona cases. Yeah, dude, it's a it's a crazy situation because I think some of the branding that they use to try to keep us quarantined actually hurt them. Like when they said you got to be six feet away from each other, the social distancing, in our normal lives, I'm almost never within six feet of another human being outside of public transportation, which I'm not taking any more because of coronavirus. If somebody's within six feet of me, I'm looking at them. I'm going, you good? Is that what's good? I never measured. I get what you're saying. I never measured, though. But yeah, they basically gave us a situation where we can feel comfortable living our fucking lives as we would normally live them. We're never six feet within six feet of people. You know, you're either in your car, you're walking by yourself down the street. If someone comes next to you, you move a little bit over. But the sixth thing gave us all the confidence we need to go outside and keep doing the regular shit we're doing. If they said it's airborne and then stop at that, we'd be in the house, letting the delivery boys get that shit as they deliver all of our food, all of our water, everything we need. They should have never gave us a distance. Never. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They should have never said, just stay six feet away from people and you'll be fine. They should have never done that. Just say it's airborne. Airborne freaks everybody out. We stay in. Little shit that they're doing, like, like now that this economic package that they passed, I was doing a little research into, like, really how the economy works and why an economic stimulus bill like that would be helpful. And here's the reason why, like, the coronavirus is actually the perfect thing to cripple an economy. The way an economy works is you need to produce things and consume things. That's right. Consume was spending it at a halt. Exactly, right? So, and the reason why they throw money at us is because they're like, in order for the machine to keep running, you need to keep producing and consuming. You can't consume shit from quarantine. So, don't throw money at the problem if there's nothing for us to go out and consume. The only way to beat this is if the virus either runs through us or we stop it by being quarantined and then you stimulate the economy again. But right now, you're either giving people money with $1,000 checks or you're giving businesses money and the businesses will eventually pay their employees and then they'll spend the money, but you need the money to be spent and this quarantine has stopped spending. Yeah, I think they want money for people to be able just to spend on the basics. You know what I'm saying? America's economy booms because of all the unnecessary shit that we buy that we don't need, but I think they just giving people money for the basics just to make sure shit doesn't fucking flatline. I guess that's important and well, it's obviously important, but if they're looking at this as like an economic stimulus package, not an economic survival package, that's different because I think what a lot of people don't realize is like when they say like a business is too big to fail, right? Like what they mean by that is if the business fails, there are so many people that are economically reliant on that company that if it fails, it actually has a bigger effect, negative effect on the economy than if you bail it out. And that's why me and you, we might not personally get bailed out, but like Boeing, the airline company will get bailed out because if Boeing goes out of business, the negative effects on not only our economy, but the global economy will be bigger. And if we just bail it out? Absolutely, people, you know, people, you know, get upset when you, we're like the Democrats, I think their first package, or the Republican first package was gonna help corporations more than to help people and people get upset when you hear that on the surface, right? Yes. It's like, yo, if you get rid of a whole corporation, think about how many jobs that are gonna be gone, you know what I'm saying? How many motherfuckers gonna be unemployed? Like that shit cripples the economy in a whole different way. And globally cripples it, like someone was explaining to me is we've been doing this daily Corona pod. So like, I've been trying to like share this information, but I was like, so if, like, give me an example of how this has affected somebody. And like, they were just giving an example of like, when Argentina, the whole country was essentially going bankrupt and Argentina supplies like 25% of the world's beef, right? If you take 25% of the world's beef away from the world beef economy, that's a stable protein for most people. Now beef goes up in price and people need to spend more of their money that they get from their paycheck on that beef in order to purchase it. That means they have less money to consume other things. That means the global economy gets fucked up by it. So basically the world monetary fund basically went in there and was like, or the international monetary fund, whatever that is, went in there and like, okay, let's restructure some Argentinian debt here because we can't have this global effect on the economy. Now Peter says, fuck that, bro. Peter said, keep Argentina in debt, bro. Peter and Russell Simmons like, now fuck that. We want y'all to go under, man. Fuck you and your 25% beef all over the world. Where is Russell, right about now? What's he doing through this shit? Russell and Bali doing goddamn yoga. Russell be a, he be on IG live doing yoga. Oh, that's another, I want to tell, I want to say salute to everybody who's really tapping into their creative energy on Instagram live. That's been very, that's been very- You gotta come on Corona's Got Talent, bro. I saw, I saw, I didn't watch it. I saw the trailer you put up yesterday. I didn't get a chance to watch it shit. You gotta come on, dude. We usually do it either five or seven PM every day on my Instagram live, but it's crazy, man. People are in there and jumping in there and doing wild shit. And honestly, the coolest part is like, when people sing, we play the music as well. We start singing and it kind of gives you that thing that you've been wanting throughout this entire experience which is like a little connection to other people. Absolutely, absolutely. You know, the thing about that and the reason I think it's so brilliant is everybody that I see doing it, it's like the real talent is rising to the surface, right? Because if you look at, like you, you're leaning into comedy. Because you're a comedian, you know what I'm saying? And if it's a lot of people, if you didn't know Andrew Schultz is a comedian, when you're sitting down and you have a captive audience, now you know, oh, this is what Andrew Schultz does. Somebody like D. Nice. D. Nice is leaning into being a DJ. Yes. He's not doing anything out of the norm. This motherfucker ain't setting himself on fire. You know what I'm saying? He's not out in the street talking about, you know, hey, I'm checking for the corona or whatever. He's not doing, no, he's not doing any cloud chasing. He simply got online and did what he was good at. He leaned into his talent. I saw Swiss Beach and Timberland last night. Yeah. All they doing is playing in a catalog, having a beat battle. Two of the best producers of all time. Like nobody's doing anything extra. They're just leaning into the gifts that God gave them. And it just looks really, really dope. It looks really, really dope, man. It's really getting a lot of people through. I've been watching more Instagram Live than I have actual TV. Yeah, dude, isn't that wild? And what's cool about leaning into what you do is like you get to play a part in how people cope with this. Yes. Yes. Yes. You know, like, we all play a role in the ecosystem. And right now, our role actually has value. Like we talk for a living. We make jokes for a living, right? We talk about the world and we express, like, our feelings and maybe those feelings are relatable to everybody. Like right now, they need that. They need that. So we got to step up. Just like someone else got to step up. You know, like in this moment, people are home. Most of them are healthy. They just need fun, entertaining distraction. Well, we're the entertainers. Yeah. So let's fucking go. What are we waiting for? We're media. We have essential jobs. Yes, this is essential. You know how to fuck I know because I got a certificate from the government that says so just in case I need to come into that corona-infested city. I'll get one. No, I get one. And I can flash my goddamn certificate, okay? All right, because I'm an essential part of the media. But it's just like, yeah, man, you also got to thank God for that too, bro. You got to thank God, the fact that you have a job to where you can actually stay at home. Everybody don't have the luxury of staying home, man. You know what I'm saying? Like everybody don't have the luxury of staying home right now. Some people got to go to work. They got to make ends meet. If their job is still fucking making them dollars circulate, they got to go and then circulate them dollars. Yeah. So it's like, I'm thankful that I have a job where I can sit in my motherfucking basement in my recliner chair, do the radio show in the morning, the breakfast club, and then come and do the fucking podcast at noon right now. And your job has increased in value. Very much so. Exponentially during this time. Like what I've realized is that like entertainment now is shaping people's days because they no longer have like work hours or like dinner parties and stuff to go to, right? So it's like, all right, D Nice is going live at nine, bet. Nine o'clock we're going to go check out D Nice's live. All right, breakfast club is on at seven. I'm going to wake up at nine. I'm going to catch the breakfast club. I'm going to listen to the whole thing. All right, brilliant it is coming out at noon. So all of a sudden we're like dictating our day based on meals and entertainment. And how cool is that to be like a central part of people's fucking day, man? It's like you got to relish that. It's what this time is. It's cool to have that effect on people. You said you're scheduling meals. I'm scheduling a show, is that? I'm not going to lie. That's what makes me feel like a fucking idiot. That's a what a fucking idiot. Like the hardest thing to do when you're sitting at home doing nothing is figuring out when it's a goddamn shower. Like what you got a shower for? What I got a shower for? Like I woke up, I'd be waking up at five, 25, 30 to do breakfast club. I don't brush my fucking teeth. That's how I know I love the listeners. Cause you know when you got that boo, when you got that boo that you love, you wake up your breath stink, you roll over and you get that kiss. I'm saying that's how I treat the listeners. I get up in the morning and I fucking get on that microphone, breath stinking off because I love them. You know what I mean? But it's just like, when do I take a shower? I go when my hair gets greasy, but you know, you don't have that same predicament. No, that's it. That's it, it could get bad though. Does your wife just make you? You know what, I worked out yesterday. Yeah, what is your day? Break down the schedule of your day. My day has been my day has been waking up, waking up at five 20 instead of four 20. OK, going downstairs, making sure everything's set up with the mixer and all of that. Yeah, we start to show at six o'clock, done by like nine. I get up, I go watch ESPN and watch CNN. Hold on, and what could you possibly get from ESPN now? Nothing, it's just a habit. It is, it's just a habit. It literally is just a habit. Now, I'm not going forward. The other day was real good when they had the free agency. When the NFL free agency was good. That was some good shit. You know, they was discussing some good shit. Other than that, there is nothing. Like they are on there talking about the dumbest shit. I saw Steven A. and Max Kellerman talking about who was the scariest boxer of all time. Yesterday they was on there talking about who's the top five, top three greatest quarterbacks. They just have a straight up barbershop podcast talk. Like they have nothing to discuss. I mean, it's still entertaining. And I'm going to be honest with you, I'm watching it and looking at how they're doing the show. Like how we're doing this right now. I'm paying attention to that. Oh, how are they doing it? The production value. They're doing this. They're doing like Zoom and shit like that. They got people calling in. They're both going in. Well, no, Steven A. and Max are somewhere and Molly somewhere else. But the guests that they have are usually from their houses. So they'd be on like FaceTime or Skype or Zoom. And so that's just interesting to see because I'm sitting there looking like, oh, it's going to be a lot of people saving a lot of money on production value when this shit is over, bro. Oh, yeah. I don't got to fly guesting no more. I could just do this shit and get the same motherfucking effect. I was talking about this. We do this nightly Corona quarantine show. And I was talking about this. I think college is over because right now college is saying, hey, everybody go home and take your classes online. And the second we realized that we could take all the classes that we were taking online, that it's no different and get the same certificate. The jig is up. What the fuck am I paying $50,000 a year to go to school so that my daughter can get fucking wasted and do keg stands and shit? What you going for? I ain't paying no $50,000 for it. But it's for the social experience. You're going to let your daughter get socially keg stand? She going to get it anyway? No, not at my house. It's going to be a no keg stand at my house. It's for the social experience. That's the one thing that we all have to be very cautious of, bro. This could be either positively brilliant or fucking idiotic, right? But when all of this is said and done, let's not have developed the habit of not showing love to each other. Meaning like not shaking hands, not hugging, staying away from each other, getting used to being on the fucking zooms and all of that shit because you don't want to be around people or you feel like you're cutting corners with money. Because what do they say? They say it takes what? 18 days for something to develop as a habit? 21 days to develop as a habit. 21 days. So if you're already, we're already in a world where we really don't have the connections that we want because social media to me is not actually a real connection. But then when you put on top of that the fact that we not saying what's up to each other and we not saying hi and we distancing from each other, that could get really weird, bro. That could create a really cold society, man. Yeah, and we are communal people. We actually need that connection. Yes, man. But you're saying that we could get so comfortable and matter of fact, it could be financially more efficient to not be connecting, right? Let's say, for example, the Breakfast Club, I Heart, well, it wouldn't happen like this because your YouTube is such a huge part of the platform. But let's say they go, hey, we don't want to pay for this big-ass building. Why don't you guys just record the radio show from your homes every day? That's way cheaper for us. I would love it. You would? Other than the celebrity interviews. But I don't got to be around the motherfuckers. Other than the interviews, I would love that. But the interviews are so great. That's the thing. You miss out on that. You got to have the interviews. No, you got to have the interviews. I don't think it's the same. That's what I mean, though. We were the skyping against right now. Due to the circumstances, people would get it. People would understand. Yeah. But when you get back to normal now, they like that intimacy. That's what we don't want to lose. We don't want to lose the intimacy of being human. How long do you think it takes before we start operating the same way socially that we did prior to this? Christmas. Christmas, man. It's a fucking American. We ain't got time for this shit. As soon as America gets back open and shit is all good, Christmas, we going to be back at it, baby. Okay? All right. This is about to be a crazy year. We about to get hit one after the other. Like, is this shit? Yeah. This shit will probably be over by, like, May? Yeah. Then we're rolling right into fucking everybody at each other's throats because the election is in November. Oh, yeah. Like, this shit is about to be crazy. We don't know what the country is going to look like in December. We don't know what the world is going to look like in December. Like, God may have to come down and intervene for real for real. Like, it might have to be some referee shit, bro. Do you think that this is God or whoever the simulators, the powers that be intervening a virus like this? And the only reason I ask you that is because it's a very weird virus in that it literally only attacks human beings and by attacking human beings, right, the world seems to regenerate. They say the canals in Venice, Italy are clear again for the first time. They say the skies in different cities in China have no smog for the first time. It's like, I was literally thinking about this. I was like, wait a minute. Is this the powers that be going, hey, motherfuckers, y'all need to relax. You need to chill. You need to have a Ramadan. You know Ramadan, one month off. Yeah. Maybe that's what they're saying. Hey, reconnect with yourselves. Talk to each other. Take a break. Take a pause. Take a deep breath. Let the world reproduce. Do you think that's possible? It proves the theory that I've said for years. Humans are the parasites of the fucking earth. We are the worst thing that ever happened to this goddamn planet. The worst thing. Everything else on this planet knows how to just recycle itself, to replenish itself. Like the earth is going to be fine. When the earth gets rid of us, the earth is going to be out here. You're talking about the economy. The grass is going to be so green. The flowers are going to be blooming. It's going to be fruits and vegetables growing that never grew before. Like we are the scum of the earth. You know what I was thinking about the other day, which makes us so fucking stupid as humans. This can go under the water, fucking idiot. We rely on trees, right? Like we give off trees. We give off carbon dioxide. Trees give off oxygen. Oxygen, yeah, yeah. Why the fuck do we cut down all the trees? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes no fucking logical sense. And then everybody got so upset when the fucking rainforest in Brazil was on fire with the Brazil. Yeah, Brazil, yeah. Brazil, and it was like, that's the lungs of the earth. I'm like, y'all cut y'all fucking lungs out every day. That's why corona is a respiratory disease. When y'all can't breathe, these are motherfuckers. Speak God. I don't know. Speak God. I just came up with that one. Third eye, God. Whoa, baby. It's no Rogan's logo, God damn it. Third eye out this motherfucker. Yo, it could be though. It's like you cutting down all the fucking trees to build Starbucks, bruh. Yeah, dude. Why are we doing it? I don't know, man. It's like, and maybe this is the problem with capitalism. I'm not trying to get all woke about anti-capitalism. I believe in capitalism 100%. But maybe the issue is that capitalism forces you into this mindset and behavior where you're literally thinking about the next check and the next move and how do I make more money? Like we were talking about the economy. It always has to be moving. We have to be consuming and spending. Whereas maybe another form of living, we could sit back and go, hey, we don't need that extra dollar. Why don't you just let that tree keep growing, bruh? Yes. You know what I'm saying? There's like a more holistic approach to the earth. And maybe that's what fucking viruses do. Bonan told me that in South Africa. In South Africa, if you build on, and I'm probably fucking this all up, but when you build on land, if there's a tree there, if you take that tree down to build, you have to replant that fucking tree. You got to plant another goddamn tree, yo. That's smart. Yes, man. That's really smart. It's just simple. If the trees are giving enough oxygen, and we're giving the trees carbon dioxide, why the fuck would we cut down all the trees and then complain about the air being shitty? Yeah. Complain about people having breathing problems or respiratory problems. Like we're doing that to ourselves. It's fucking stupid, bro. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. Yeah, we can't look into the future, man. It's a tough thing. And we should be able to, because we live in luxury. I understand motherfuckers that live in desperate places, how they can't look into the future, because yeah, you're trying to make it into tomorrow. But if you and I are sitting here going, well, I want to put some money in my retirement fund, that means we plan on making it to retirement. So if we could plan on making it to retirement, we got to plan on the world, and not only the world, the people that are in it, the environment, all these types of things. We got to make sure that those things are livable as well by the time we retire. We got to plan for the Earth's future the way we plan for our own futures. I think that whole concept of we're going to die one day and we're not going to be here, because the Earth is billions of years old. I think that sometimes we get so caught up in our temporary existence that we really don't give a fuck how we treat the Earth. We treat this shit like an Airbnb, bro. Yeah. We do. We treat it like some shit. You know how you were young. We are getting a bad review. You're getting a bad fucking review, bro. We're getting one star, bro. Be treating this shit like a city bike. Yeah. You're not wiping it down. You're farting all over it. You're coughing. You're fucking okay. If you bump into it, like Chris said, oh, Lord, Chris just texted me. Chris said they cut down the trees in Amazon to create grazing for cattle, which is why people like Russell say eating less meat is good for environment. Okay. Makes sense. There is an argument for that for sure. That makes sense. Then again, vegans just eat the environment, so they're probably bad for it. Y'all eating fucking trees, too, Chris. Vegans, they only eat trees, bro. It's just lettuce and cabbage and shit. They literally are eating all the shit that helps us breathe. Vegans want us to die, bro. How do vegetables feel about that? They'll say, like, see, I think we don't even know vegetables are living creatures, too. Hey, dude, vegetables are so resilient. You ever eat corn and it comes out in your shit? I don't want to die. I'm not going to die. I'm not going to die. That fucking corn is holding on to that goddamn shit log. This is all we hope to freedom. This is all we have to freedom. I'm back, baby. It's like Jason. Corn is like Jason. Looking around for your brothers. Looking around for your brothers and you just realize it's just you and a couple cousins. Little piece of lettuce. Like, you mean it, too? Where do we go from here? Listen, salute to CVS, too. I got to put CVS in the positively brilliant. They're hiring 50,000 workers and they're giving bonuses to employees. Salute to Philadelphia 76ers. Joellen Beach stepped up, gave a half million dollars to the staffers and the sixes was like, why the fuck aren't we paying our staffers? So they decided to continue to pay their staffers. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, these are billion-dollar organizations. These are billion-dollar companies. Being able to pay your staff for a couple of months is not going to hurt you at fucking all. And I think it gains amazing goodwill. Like, you find out a lot about, like, your employer in a time like this. Yes. You know what I mean? Like, when literally everybody is getting fired from their jobs and or getting salary decrease, you know what I'm saying? Like, yes. If that's not happening to you, because here's the thing, if you're a business right now, you are losing money. You are losing money. Actively, every single day, you are losing money. So now all that money that's coming out to be paid is coming out of your pocket. Absolutely. Absolutely. So you find out and some people don't want to do that shit. I don't know whether to put this under the what-a-fucking-idiot, but the guy, a man in Arizona, he drank fish-take cleaner to protect him from the coronavirus. How'd it go? He died. He's dead. He's out of here. So, I mean, technically, he is kind of protected because he's in a better place now and he's with God and he doesn't have to worry about things like that anymore. I mean, he can't get corona. He did find a way to not get corona. You did find a way to not get corona. I wonder about stuff like that, though. Like, I wonder if people are in such, like, you're in such bad shape, like the coronavirus is beating you up that bad that you're like, man, fuck it. Or you don't want to catch it that bad that you're like, fuck it, you're willing to try anything. You know, like, Donald Trump got on TV and he shouted out that fucking what's the shit called? Hydroqueen, a hydro... Chloroquine. Chloroquine. And that shit, like, everybody ran to go buy it. Like, I bought some shit off eBay that I thought was chloroquine. It was just chlorox. I don't know what the fuck that shit was. Some type of queen. It's like a dietary supplement. But I bought it. You know what I'm saying? Because you just never know. And when you don't know, you're just looking for any form of hope, bro. 100%. 100%. There's a... Elon Musk tweeted out the chloroquine. He was, I think, the first person to throw that out there. Really? Yeah, it's just a tricky time, man, because, like, as dangerous as this disease is, right, or virus is, and as serious as we pretend to take it, right? I don't think it's really going to be serious until somebody that we know dies from it. Because there are all these people dying, but we don't have any connection to them. So in our heads, we're like, man, it's just the flu if you're young. You don't think all those people are getting sick? Like the Idris Elka. You know, America is obsessed with celebrity culture. The Idris Elka. It's looking great. Tom Hanks looking great. It's like, we need to see struggle and, like, we need to see something. We need to see something that puts fear in us. When you see Idris in his living room with his fine-ass girlfriend, you're like, I want some corona. That looks all right. Yeah, that's why I was happy. Not happy, but Slim Thug called the breakfast club this morning because he tested positive and he actually had symptoms. You know what I'm saying? Because all of these people, all of these people are like, oh, we don't even have no symptoms. Slim Thug was like, no, I had a headache. I had a crazy fever. You know what I'm saying? So he said, I want to go get checked because he was like, he's a hypochondriac. Right. He went to go get checked. And by the way, he said he was doing everything he was supposed to be doing. He said, I was not one of these people who are not taking it serious. He said, I have my mask. I have my gloves. The only time I left the house was to go get something to eat. I took my ass back home. I'm staying in the crib. Yeah. He said he'd been doing everything he was supposed to be doing and he tested positive, but he had symptoms. DJ Webster, who, you know, back in the day, he produced a hit song, Chicken knew the soup. Chicken knew the soup. Chicken knew the soup. Yeah. He called it. He said he had real bad symptoms. Chills, high fever, the cough that wouldn't go away, all of that type of shit. And he said he just thought it was the flu, but it turned out he tested positive for coronavirus. So it's good to hear that. You need to hear the best story. Those people have actual symptoms. There's a, you know, Carl Anthony Towns, he plays powerful. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. So his mom is in a coma in the hospital right now with it. See what I'm saying? That is, I think, the first story that's going to resonate because it's somebody that we know and it's happening to their mom. So it's like, oh, shit. What if it happened to my friend's mom? What if it happened to my mom? Like, all of a sudden it becomes real. I just, for whatever reason, we need to see a real life situation, I think, for people to take things seriously. I think that's why Tom Hanks said he had it. I don't even think Tom Hanks or his wife had it. I think that the government or whoever was just like, hey, can you do us a favor and say that you got it because people know who you are. Maybe it'll take this just serious if you say you got it. You believed it? I was going to put that under the what a fucking idiot section that people actually believe celebrities are signing up, you know, are getting paychecks to say they got this disease. No paycheck. No paycheck. I think it's literally just a favor. It's basically like, hey, we need to promote this. We need people to take this seriously. Tom, you are the most famous person. Can you just say you got this shit? You're at the at-risk age. Say you have it and then people will be like, whoa, if it happened to Tom Hanks, it could happen to me. The problem is nothing bad happened to Tom Hanks. Not yet. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And I think he got through it. So you basically saying that they offered not the same endorsement deal they offered magic in the 90s. People said the same thing about magic, bro. They was like, your magic don't really got HIV age or HIV. They just said they wanted him to say he had it because he's like a manly man. People thought that HIV was a gay disease. Yeah, but after that, you still got it. Like Corona, you come back from like, I'll dapp up Tom Hanks in a couple months. You know what I mean? Like when I dapp up magic, I'm still like, all right now. Yeah. And all you fucking idiots who say stuff like, y'all kept posting that meme about Magic Johnson with the mask saying, why does magic have a mask on? It's because HIV compromises your immune system. Yeah. Okay. If you fuck around and catch this Corona, magic will be out of here, bro. Game over, dude. Like, stop, man. What's wrong with y'all? Like, use a little fucking common sense. Yeah. I don't, I'm with you though. I just don't, I don't need a celebrity to make me know shit is real. Like, I can look at that family in Jersey. Like it's a family in Jersey, bro. They lost four people. Four out of here. Family of 11 lost four. And it was like back to back to back. It was like a brother, a sister, a mom, and then somebody else. Yeah. You know what I mean? So it's just like when I see stuff like that, I'm like, oh shit, if I watch, you know, if I'm looking at the news and they talking about the little girl in Atlanta who's 12 years old, who's in the ICU fighting for Corona. I'm like, wait a minute. I ain't no 12 years to get Corona. You know what I'm saying? So all of that stuff makes you take this shit way more serious, especially when you got, you know, a child at the house in you. Yeah. So I don't need a celebrity to catch it. Salute everybody who does. Salute everybody who's waiting on Cardi B to announce she got it or whoever, but I don't need that. All right. I get it. This shit is real. You have a natural like heightened paranoia of things, right? Absolutely. Like you are your doomsday ready in a way where you think anything could happen because realistically in your life, anything has happened. Like it's rare people just run up to you and try to punch you on the street as a human being. It's happened to you. Yeah. So now you go, oh shit, I've experienced a pretty worst case scenario. So nothing's surprising anymore. You know what's crazy? I think the average person is, it feels like they're invincible. What you saying? Everything you're saying is true. I, um, I strangely, bro, I strangely have not had any really bad anxiety about this whole situation. I've been like... You already dealt with it. I've been strangely calm about this shit, bro. Because you're taking it serious. You're like, most people who have anxiety about this shit aren't taking it serious. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you take it serious, you're in the crib. You've got the food. You don't need to go outside. You've probably got a little land so you can walk on the backyard, et cetera. Like, and also it's not like you need to be around people. Like you don't mind being around your family and your daughters from what I understand. Yeah, I'm a caretaker. I'm a homebody. I love this shit. This shit, because for me, the biggest source of my anxiety is parental paranoia. So like when the kids are at school and I'm in the city, I know everybody's good. I'm good. They good. I ain't worried about not a goddamn thing, but I just, I honestly have just... I'm gonna tell you what helped me a lot. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. Okay. You know, sleuth to the homie Debbie Brown. You know, my sister Debbie Brown. She's been telling me about this book for years. Said this book changed her life years ago. I just got around to reading it a couple weeks ago because, you know, we really don't have shit to do. So I'm just catching up on a lot of things in life. And like, I listened to it. Yeah. And I thought it was too short. I listened to it on an audible and I'm like, it's only an hour and 26 minutes, but then I bought it and it's just too short. Like it's only like 160 pages. Yeah. But he had this one law, man, his law number six is the law of detachment. He just talks about leaning into the uncertainty of everything. Love it. Just leaning to the uncertainty of it all. He was like, you know, he said when there's problems, when there's chaos, when there's turmoil, when there's confusion, just leaning to it all because eventually there will be a problem. I mean, a solution in that problem. And that's honestly been my mindset. I'm like, fuck it. Cause what can you do? What can you do about this shit? You can't do nothing, bro. Nothing. There's nothing you can do, but maybe leaning into that. Like you said, maybe that's the right, you know, that's a good idea. Maybe we should do that. What, what should we give the people this week? Like good Corona distraction content, like books, shows, any of those types of things. Like how do we fill their schedules with things that they can check out indulgent? Oh, I can tell you everything I'm on. I can, I can, I can tell you, um, you want to do a buck? You want this to be the deep dive? Let's maybe do a little deep dive on that. Let's do the fuck. Let's let this be the deep dive. Cause I want you on this. Okay, go. Preach your comforts. Right. When I tell you that I get up in the morning and I watch ESPN. Yeah. The reason I watch ESPN is because going to ESPN gives me a sense of normalcy. Cause that's something that I would do any other time. You know what I mean? So what I would tell everybody out there is don't break your sense of normalcy. Try to keep a routine. Try to keep a schedule as much as possible. That's right. And if that's part of your schedule, if going to ESPN, watching First Take is part of your schedule, do it. Another thing that I picked up, um, I've been watching a lot of Disney Plus, right? Okay. Cause when you're sitting at home alone and you're just being still, you really start to hear those voices in your head and you start to hear people like Andrew Schott saying to you, why the fuck you got Disney Plus? There's nothing on Disney Plus. And I'm like, that's not true. Disney Plus, like, but I had to go make sure, right? Cause I've been defending this shit based off what they have to come. Right? Not what they have. Yeah. So I went on the Marvel thing of Disney Plus and I've been hooked because I've been watching those, man, I've been watching those old X-Men cartoons that I used to watch when I was young, bro. When Gambit was actually good. When Gambit was fucking good, bro. And yo, it made me feel so bad about this Wolverine tattoo I got on my arm cause Wolverine was pussy in the X-Men cartoon. Wolverine, I'm going to tell you what's so fucked up. Wolverine is gangster in the comics, right? He's a fucking beast. And that goddamn X-Men cartoon, you ever seen that meme where he's like holding the picture and they put different people in the picture but in the cartoon it's the picture of Jean Grey? Okay. He really was pussy whipped and never got none of the pussy. And if you watch the cartoon, he gets fucked up all the time. Like every other episode Wolverine is hurt. And I'm like, Wolverine got healing powers. He heals instantly. Everything heals but his heart. Like what the fuck, bro? And you got other villains calling him old. Like you fucking old. He's not even old man Logan yet. So I'm sitting there looking like, yo, they really made Wolverine look soft as fuck in this cartoon. I thought he was badass in the cartoon. No, man. No, he's not. I think he's the only cartoon with forearm hair. So I think for some reason I think that made him like badass. I'm going to tell you when he was tough, when he went to Canada, he's definitely the toughest motherfucking in Canada. He had an episode when he went to Canada and he fought like the Vindicator and Alpha Flight. He was fucking them up. But when it comes to them goddamn American superheroes and them goddamn superheroes in other countries, always getting his ass kicked. Always getting his motherfucking ass kicked. But I've been watching that but that's been a creature comfort too because that brings me back to my childhood, right? Yeah, there's like imprinting from like fun times. Yes, that's why I think D. That's why D. Nice felt so good. Yes. It felt so good because I was sitting there thinking like, man, if you're 20 years old, you're really not appreciating any of this shit D. Nice is doing. Right. All of these songs are old. Right. Stuff that I grew up on and the stuff that my parents used to listen to. So it takes me down this memory lane and it makes me remember a time when things were just good and normal. So I look at this situation like almost being in jail. Your body is kind of trapped, but your mind is free. Mine can go ever. There's something interesting about D. Nice that I was trying to break down why it was so beautiful and obviously it tapped into this connectivity thing that we all want. We all want to feel like we're doing something together. But I also think what it did is he recreated the club. Like when you're in the club, you're in like a nice nightclub, right? You look over at the bottle service and you're like, oh shit, there's 50 cent. Right? Oh shit, there's TI. Oh shit, whatever. When you're watching D. Nice's live, all of a sudden you see the comments. You're like, oh shit, Michelle Obama's in here. Oh shit, Oprah's in here. Oh shit, Charlemagne's in here. Like you start seeing these people like you would see them at the club and you're like, oh, they're bored alone at home just like me. Yes. Everybody's going through this. Yes. It was just this really nice togetherness, this moment of togetherness there. And I think that's what's going to win during this time. Like if you could find real, unique, organic ways to get everybody experienced the same shit. I think that's where humans need each other. Yes. And I think that's one of the things that God is trying to show us throughout this whole coronavirus epidemic. I don't like the distance. I like distance when I personally need distance. Yes. But think about it. We interact with people so much. We don't even, we take that for granted. You know what I'm saying? Like every day I'm constantly around people. Like every freaking day. You know, when we walk down the street, people want to come up to us. Like we get bombarded with people invading our space all the time. I don't even think I want to call it invading the space anymore. It's just that we are sharing the space. It's not that we're not able to share the space. You know, when we want to, it feels kind of strange. And you know, the thing, even going back to D Nice, the thing that made D Nice so special is I think it would be the same if you decided to do life. If you got on live and you said, I'm doing a 15 minute stand-up special. You did it on a state. You're like, I'm going to do a 15 minute stand-up special. That shit would rip so hard because you're a comedian. You've been building this up for years and years and years. I don't think people realize D Nice is a celebrity DJ. He's been a celebrity DJ for 15 years. Every year when I go to Anguilla, when I go to Anguilla for New Year's Eve, for the three out of the last four years, there's been this party at this place called the Reef. Kenny Burns has hosted it. D Nice is DJing. We go there every year. I was there this past New Year's Eve. You know what I'm saying? So what D Nice did on Instagram, him being dope wasn't unique to me because we know D Nice is a dope DJ, but when you see Michelle Obama jumping the live, it's because he's played for Michelle Obama. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did he jumping the live. It's because he's played for Diddy before. When you see Rion in the live, they've all been the parties that D Nice has played. You know what I mean? And plus it was just, you caught lightning in a bottle. It's a random Saturday night. Everybody's at home. And the time he spent. What time? He was on there for like nine, 10 hours. So throughout that time, anybody could pop in. It's so low an investment. It's so little. You don't got to leave your house. You don't got to get your shoes on. You don't got to do nothing, but literally tap a button on Instagram. And now you're in. You're at the club. When you're giving people time to talk. Yes. You're giving people time to talk like, yo, D nice on D nice on D nice on D nice on. Make sure you get the, you get people 10 hours to fucking join you at some point. Cause everybody just wanted to say they were a part of this, part of the experience. Yes. It didn't matter. It didn't matter when you were there. You didn't have to be there when Michelle was there. You was on. You know what I'm saying? You got to see what the fuck D nice was doing. Yeah. That shit was beautiful, man. That shit was fucking beautiful. There's little things where I feel like, you know, there's these little Corona hacks. I feel like you could take advantage of right now. Like, like my girl pointed this out to me and. So really fancy restaurants. A lot of times they don't deliver or do to go. Right. You know, the places that you can barely get a reservation. It's so hard because nobody can go eat there. They have to find a way to make a, you know, revenue during this time. So they've started delivering. So you and your wife, your girl or you and your boys, whoever you're fucking quarantine with, you can get delivery from carbon or Manetta tavern, like these places that you could never get a reservation for unless you're a fucking famous person. They're going to bring it to your house. So what I was telling, like me and my girl do is we just have a date night where we actually get dressed up. Like I put on clothes. Like I'd be going out. She puts on something nice for she goes out. So we're not bummy in the sweatpants. And then we have an inside date night. You know, like, yeah, it's just like a nice little thing to break up the monotony because it's so easy to like stop shaving. It's so easy to stop shower. And like you said, it's so easy to fall into this feeling of, of like claustrophobia. And then I feel like you start projecting the way you feel inside. So like doing those little things, like going to the nicest thing or even getting some nice food ordered in. Like I feel like those things have kept my mental strong throughout. Keep some normalcy, man. I put on a hoodie, put on this new hoodie today just because I'm doing this podcast. Fucking wife beaters, you know what I'm saying? Like, you can't, and by the way, you can't hide from the real you at a time like this. What do you mean? Have you seen Kevin Hart lately? Yeah. Let's pay some bills. Let's pay some bills. We can come back and talk about Kevin Hart and all of them. We're going to find out which labs really got hair. Yes. We're going to find out which labs are using plug, dying their shit. That's good, man. Let's let's pay some. Let's pause and pay some bills, man. Let's talk about Boost Mobile. Okay. Okay.

Let's get into some church announcements. Do you have any church announcements? Man, I do. I don't have the exact dates, but basically everything, every comedy date that I have now is rescheduled through May at the moment. It might be through June with how this is going, but I think things will really get back to swinging in July, the beginning of July. I think that's when we'll be at live events again, but we're going to hold on to the June dates for now. Everything is rescheduled so you guys can go. I'll give you those dates very soon. We're just locking in and everything and the special is included in that. So we're going to shoot the special at a later date. I believe it's going to be November because I want to do it after the election because I don't want to record a special before the election and then by the time it's edited and it comes out, it's after the election. And then this huge transition or change may have happened in the country and I can't in some way address that energy. I'm almost glad that I didn't record a special before the Corona thing. This Corona panel because what if you did it before and then you put it out and you're talking about how great the world is and how we need to be great. Your energy don't match what the people feel. My competitive advantage with Commie has always been for whatever reason I can sense what people feel and need. So it's like I don't ever want to put out content that doesn't reflect that feeling that they have that they maybe can't articulate but it's inside them. This is a defining moment in American history and if you're a comedian, I feel like comedians just like musicians they're like record keepers. You know what I'm saying? So you got to keep a record of this. You can't have a stand-up come out this year, especially in November and not talk about the Corona. You cannot talk about that. That might be the name of it. You got to talk about that Corona. That Corona Quimby baby, you know what I'm saying? She's a fucking pest. Matter of fact, I don't want to talk about the Corona because I don't know how that motherfucking gets inside of you. So I got nothing but respect for the Corona. You know what I mean? Just please. When you finish done doing what you're doing, just let us know you're leaving so we can get back to normal. That's all we want to get back to normal, man. What about you, dawg? What kind of... Oh, other church announcements. Obviously the Corona's Got Talent show and then we do a nightly show here out of the studio that we haven't named. It's still unnamed but some people call it a red table cough. Some people call it the quarantine chronicles. Some people call it kung-flu hustle. There's a lot of different names for it like, hey, stop coughing now. My fault. Coughing is like gunshots. It's like some feel bonds that it's the new N-word. It makes everybody uncomfortable. Exactly. If a white person doesn't, it's like, did you just call me the N-word? If a black person does it around a white person, they're like, yo, bro, bro, that's on you, bro. No, the white people are like, well, why can he do it? But I can't. It is fucked up. It is fucked up how we cough and sneeze and shame and during goddamn allergy season. Yeah, but that's because we're not going to get it, bro. Come on, let's be honest. It's okay to do a little cough and sneeze shaming right now, especially if you're in public. I don't know if we're not going to get it. I'm talking about allergies. Not Rona. Oh, well, I got allergies. Oh, all right. Well, they coughed at all you want. I got allergies. I've been good this week, though. I've been good in the house. It's like when I got to my room, I got a little cough and I got a little rash out and it's like all that cold air for like that 10, 30 seconds jumped inside my body. And when I came back in the house, I could feel it inside of me and I started like immediately coughing again. I'm like, man, maybe there is something to fucking keeping this heat. Keeping your body heated. I mean, I was like, should I go get the blow dryer and fucking put it up my nose? Like that dude in Florida said you should do. Hey, do whatever you need to do to get through this. You know what I mean like there's certain bars. You can't spit in their entirety. You just gotta you just gotta stop You can't you can't if you doing jig uh, what's my mother fucking name my name? Oh All right, let's do shit you won't care about next week. Uh, first of all salute the kevin heart and his beautiful wife and nico They're expecting another baby. Um shit during the rona Yeah, I'm just I'm saluting them just because I want to talk about how I love the gray hair realness that kevin heart Is giving. Oh, yeah.

I didn't I didn't I had no ideas about white people Not a single asian in the whole thing dude, but seriously go watch it. It's unbelievable I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna check that out. You know who looks like a one the outsiders on hbo You see that I haven't watched that either. No, yo the outside go watch that one. That was good too. Really I don't want to give it away, but uh, basically, um some someone gets murdered a little kid gets murdered and um And uh the person they accuse of doing it they have on film. They have on camera. They have all these other things Uh, they have him they have proof. They have dna. They have everything that's him But that person is also on camera DNA and everything in a completely different city at the exact same time Wow So it's like how the fuck could do these two things happen at the same time I gotta check that out. Also, I don't know if you've been watching DJ Khaled on instagram what he looks like a penguin that is absolutely about to like just destroy some shit Khaled got the wild grays like when you get those grays on the side right here You just automatically look like some type of supervillain, bro. Yeah, like a detective from the 50s Yeah, a crooked detective. Yeah, a detective from the 50s are a fucking supervillain, bro Like like just like what the fuck Yeah, who is the guy who is like the uh The uh the guy who ran the newspaper in spider. Oh, yeah, the daily bugle daily Yeah, uh in spider-man. I can't remember his fucking name. That's exactly what the fuck dj. Khaled looks like Editor of the daily bugle. That's what he looks like. He looked like a fucking penguin that runs the newspaper He looks like the editor of a fucking newspaper The daily penguin Giving you your coronavirus updates all a salute the point up. Shit. You won't care about next week point hub is joining the uh Coronavirus relief by offering a free premium subscription description to everyone for the next 30 days now Are you whacking off? Now I haven't been fucking bro You haven't been fucking Now I've definitely been practicing social distancing when it comes to the sex Really? Why not explain that? I haven't thought about it Haven't been on my mind. I'm gonna be honest with you like, um You know, we we got the you know, the kid who took the kids out of school like a week ago and I just been kind of like Focusing on this new normal. I haven't really gotten into To that aspect of shit yet. You know what I'm saying? Like I haven't gotten into the We haven't added that that we haven't added that to the repertoire. I don't know how to how to Create the normalcy with that That that is going to create strain on relationships No, because I think at a time like this man, I think that we're going to be looking for much deeper connections than just sex You know I'm saying especially if you've been with your woman for a long time. I think that um emotional connections mental connections spiritual connections like you know We played a family game the other day where it was like What's your favorite food? What's your favorite color and stuff like that? You know what I mean? And I mean I think those are the things you you actually take for granted like when the last time you the family game It was a game my daughter made up But she wrote down questions like what's your favorite food? What's your favorite color? So everybody had to answer These questions about each other. So you're learning about yourself. Yeah And it's dope because you realize of course, this is your family But it's a lot of shit that you just know By just being around your family, but you've never heard them put a label on and say, oh, this is my favorite thing This is her favorite thing. You know what I mean? But I think like those are good Those are good bond scripted in games. You know what I mean? Like I just think that we got to tap into something deeper than just Sex at a moment like this you have a long relationship with your woman So it's not essentially defined by sex but I do think that there's like a potential for struggle here because It's easy to like not fuck you and your girl not fuck when like you guys are really busy and that kind of stuff Right like oh we're tired. We had a long day all these kind of things, right? But then I think when you're with each other with nothing to do all day and you still don't fuck I think it's possible that people see it as a form of rejection Right because there's really no excuse. It's just us. We're around each other all day And I wonder if people will realize like hey, your body is reacting to something very different It depends what you're doing though. Like for me, man, it's like, you know me and the wife or You know, we're sharing information. That's I mean, that's something we do anyway, but it's just it's just Amplified more it's multiplied now. Like we're reading books and we watching tv and we're talking, you know what I mean? And yeah, it's just different, you know, like it's not even I honestly haven't even I think I might I mean I thought about I mean I might have thought about it But there's nothing that I've even wanted to act on I haven't had to Have I had to decide? I don't know bro. Isn't that weird I haven't thought like I might I haven't thought about it I might have thought about it one day when I was on porn hub watching granny porn You love that old porn bro. Are you preparing? I'm not preparing but that granny porn is very interesting because I've never I've never watched it I've never I've never thought about older people having sex. Yo, these older women Yeah, be getting it the fuck in and it's these young dudes that love sleeping with these old ones I'm talking about grandma, bro. I'm talking about 75 years old, bro Taking that young cock and not giving a fuck about anything like like yo, this this one old woman who just loves She'll even it's not even that they just running trains on her. She just loves to sleep with Two guys at the same time, right? And you could just see the I don't give a fuckness in her eyes Yeah And these older women that are letting themselves be recorded. They don't give a fuck They're old they don't give a shit like what are you gonna do you gonna you gonna put this out and say look what I did to somebody's grandma Like nobody gives a shit, bro So you think you're watching it now because all the old people might be dead because of corona So you just want to get this in while it's still around gotta give them their views while they're still here um I don't know man. I'm just I'm just I'm just it's just something I've never watched before It's just a new level of porn. I've never watched before speaking of what you just said Uh things you won't care about next week, but we probably should Lieutenant governor dan patrick of of texas. Yeah, he was on fox news last night Basically echoing donald trump sentiments and just like look man You senior citizens have to be willing to die to get the economy back on track. That's essentially what he said You know what I mean? So I was curious about that though like a lot of times we make decisions for people Based on how we feel emotionally, right? so Right now. We're all making this decision. We're all going a we we don't want to die So old people they probably don't want to die. So we got to save these old people I'm really curious if we asked people 80 and up. Hey Do you Um, are you willing to risk getting corona or maybe you guys self quarantine or something like that? And then everybody else goes back to work Um Or would you like us to make sure that you're safe and you are protected and then we destroy the global economy I wonder if they I wonder if they would say hey, I've lived a great life I don't want to affect these younger people's opportunity to live a great life too Let us quarantine and and make sure you give us our food. Give us our You know rations and we'll stay safe inside the apartment. Make sure you check on us But no, we don't want to fuck up the world for the youth Listen, I wonder if they would say that honestly I don't know but I know guys like lieutenant governor dan patrick who's 69 Donald trump who's like 73 years old if y'all feel like senior citizens to die for the economy Then take the lead Okay When your economy starts to collapse y'all collapse with it y'all like like y'all not senior fucking citizens y'all senior citizens So you donald trump you lieutenant governor dan patrick talk to your base talk to all those old people That like to wear MAGA hats in all these rural areas and ask ask them if they want to clock out Yeah, like it was all you old people like old people that's like 70 80 years old and and and you think that Older people should be gone because of the economy don't let it be my grandma or my granddad or my mom or my dad Yeah, you want to make america great again? Here's your chance buddy time to die All right What you're going to do right straight up you can't ask somebody if you're a leader You can't ask somebody to do something that you're not willing to do 100 percent So if you'd we need those got dan patrick donald trump if you're gonna fix your mouth to say things like look senior citizens Got to do what they got to do and and and and and take the risk of catching corona for the economy to be better All right senior citizen Fuck this shakes some hands Okay He's do your part. Here's an interesting one If this is a war against the virus, right? okay we accept That in war they're going to be casualties and people will die and there will be soldiers on the front line And those soldiers on the front line will die. We've always accepted this accept this throughout history, right? Mm-hmm Are they the soldiers on the front line line if this is a war and we're treating it like like such I think we're actually doing what italy did. Um, there was a point in italy if i'm not mistaking where hospitals were just choosing You know, it's true. You know what i'm saying. Um, and I don't think that should be any governments That shouldn't be left up to any government because truthfully we don't even know How coronavirus impacts people at first they were saying it was just impacting older people But now we see a bunch of younger people getting it. You know what I'm saying? So you just simply don't know I just think it's very um It's very dangerous and irresponsible just to tell people we're gonna open back up in easter And just to go back out there and start living your regular every Every every day normal life when you really don't know how this disease Impacts people yet. You know what I'm saying? So I just don't I don't I don't think it's worth it No personally I think they're lying to them. I just think they're lying to them because they want to like They don't want to spook the market and they don't want to spook the employment records because once Once everybody gets fired That stop market is going to take a historic dip, bro And that's what trump is trying to avoid. So I think he's trying to like mislead He's like, no, we're gonna be back in april for uh, easter and then all of a sudden easter is going to come around They're like, ah, it was a little early probably uh, may And then that's gonna take a little longer We'll be back in june So I think he's just gonna push it little by little and keep people kind of like holding on for dear Dear life because if they go, yo, it's down for two months. This should come into a screeching hole, bro I think it's two viruses out there, bro. Yeah, you were saying that last night. What do you mean by that? I think it's two viruses. I think it's one virus. That's kind of like Kind of like, you know Mild, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, and then it's another virus. That's like corona plus I really do like I really I think the I think I think it's the one virus that People get and they recover from after 14 15 days Then I think it's the other virus that's really killing people like really getting people to fuck up out of here in a Real way and either they know it's two viruses But they don't want to say anything because they really don't want to spook people All right, this virus is mutating in a different way. Maybe it affects people's bodies differently, maybe the way you get corona in the way I get corona Would be totally different. That makes sense. I don't know. I just it just seems weird Like it does seem like we're dealing with two different diseases because at first it's just like, oh, it's okay It's just like the flu yada, yada, yada, whatever then it's like No Such-and-such got it on march 9th. They died on march 17th. They had no existing no pre-existing health conditions They were 44 years old like resting piece to dj black and mild in New Orleans You know, he got it on march 9th And he died this past weekend, you know, I look at the principal in brooklyn 36 years old She had no pre-existing conditions from what I read. I could be wrong. She got it. She died like so It's just like, yeah, I just don't know. I just think I really think it's two different diseases, bro Yeah, no, it's possible It is possible. I mean who the fuck knows man. There's so many different conspiracy theories about what this thing is There's people out here saying that it was caused by 5g I saw cary hillson say that we should have put her under the what a fucking idiot No, because there's a couple of professors saying that as well and the reason the conspiracy theory exists is because They say it has to do with like Anytime you've like affected the electromagnetic field around the earth or like place an electromagnetic field on the earth that there's been An adverse effect on humans like the virus in your body is like your cells reacting to this Like um adverse Stimulus and i'm gonna butcher this but um They're like they they're basically like what is the one city in the whole world that is completely blanketed in 5g New york Nope What? Wu Han Oh, Wu Han I'm beyond what y'all know what the fuck 5g is. Let's let's start. Let's backtrack. It's just super fast internet I'm just going along with the conversation. What is that? What is it? I know a 4g. It's just super fast internet Yeah, so it's just even faster. I guess but The internet need to be any faster, bro Say what the internet doesn't not the internet does not need to be any faster Man, we are talking to each other while looking at each other. I mean, I think this is enough. This is cool I think louis ck a funny Joke where he's like, uh, he goes do we really need any more porn? Like haven't we done it all? That's what they're trying to get to by the way They're trying to get to the point where I can take my dick And stick it through this computer screen And put it in your mouth That's what they're trying to get to they're really trying to get to that, bro. I'm telling you that's what they're trying to get to That's what they want. They want goddamn 69g. That's what they fucking want. Is that why it's called microsoft? They won't stop until it gets micro hard god damn it. Holy shit, but it's still micro It's still micro.

I ask you about something because um There was there was a little there was a little drama a little accusation a thrown out there Okay, that um by another podcaster That you might be leaving the breakfast club Who said it another podcaster said it um I believe it was it was joseph budden Oh, okay. I believe joseph budden said that you will be leaving the breakfast club. Is that is that correct? What is the deal with that? You know in all seriousness. Is there any truth to that? I think that's just joe's joe's opinion I mean, I mean, I can't be mad at joe's opinion though because he's he's basing it off uh A conversation we had when he was on Breakfast club would stay to the culture interview. You know what i'm saying? So, I mean that don't don't don't what happened in that combo just to bring us up to space. Um, joe just asked Are we are we redoing Our contracts are something something to that something to that extent, right? I mean and um We all just got silent basically and you know, I just said my contract is up in december Whatever take what that's true Which is true, you know, but take take that however you want to take it. Um I think joe's just yeah, joe's just joe's just going off the speculation that he's heard out there You know, I mean because a lot of people ran with what I said in that state of the culture interview and They they did articles on it and stuff like that You know, I mean it became a little story. It was in page six and things of that nature, but I'm not tripping off that I actually was listening to the joe button podcast on that day. I was I was more You know what I'd be more concerned about man. What's that? I don't like the I don't know if I like I don't like the misinformation About platforms, right? Whether it's the brilliant it is a breakfast club, you know, I'm saying because Both of those are my babies, right? And then You know, that's that's that's what that brilliant is is something I've been doing for the past seven years Breakfast club is something that I've been doing for the past nine, right? So I see Like I saw joe say that and then I'm just looking at youtube comments and I see people say things like oh well, you know, um The brilliant the brilliant isn't isn't that successful and I'm like That's so disrespectful because it just shows me how misinformed people are And and it's it's I told you I told you a long time ago The reason I love the brilliant it is because we created such a coat like Following yes brilliant idiots and we have like this This this niche group Of people who listen to brilliant idiots and when we do Live shows which we haven't done one in a while, but when we used to do live shows live shows be sold out like we've taken We've done brilliant idiots in london sold out shows, you know, I'm saying we get requests to go overseas to do brilliant idiots all the time But just more importantly, I think we're in this is on what 300 christen Taylor jumping real quick with the 300 how many episodes In seven years. Yeah. Yeah, five years. I think it's like 305, right? Yeah All right at 300 we did we did the we did the math brilliant idiots has over 80 plus million listens 80 plus million fucking listens If that's not successful, I don't know what the fuck is so I think it's because we Well, at least I choose, you know, I'm saying Andrew Andrew approaches it a little different But I choose to keep something brilliant it is something close to my heart and like Not be all out there on french creed with it, you know what I'm saying because as soon as we let some of you little Motherfucking outsiders in y'all ruined shit. Okay, and took us out of context And the way we like to do things over here and we had the fucking tiptoe and walk on ice for months. Okay Andrew didn't Andrew double the fuck down triple the fuck down and I'm glad he goddamn did. Okay, but fuck You know, I'm saying you ruined it. We let y'all in the motherfucking house and y'all infected everybody That's exactly why during this quarantine. I'm not letting nobody to fucking and tell this shit is over, bro Okay, we let y'all motherfuckers in and y'all fuck shit up So I think being that we don't put it out there like that And because me and Andrew rely on each other so much because we all we believe in each other that much Instead of bringing in guests all the time. It's just like people kind of We take those kind of numbers for granted bro. Yeah, I mean that's that's another thing. It's like And I've experienced it I'm sure you've experienced it with with breakfast club where it's like if you have a big guest or an interesting guest or an interesting interview Those numbers are going to spike Right. Yeah, but there is also something to having the consistent people talk every single week No guests and having this insanely successful show. I mean like I mean, there's many ways to define success, you know, I mean, there's strictly monetarily defining it I mean, is that the joe say that it wasn't successful Oh, no, no, no, I was just reading comments and the thing because you know people compare things like what you shouldn't do Like they compare the breakfast club platform Let's be clear about the breakfast club platform breakfast club platform is a once in a lifetime Generational platform. Yes, you know, I'm saying them shit don't come around All at a time, you know, I mean, so what we built with the breakfast club is unique So you can't compare a podcast to that, you know what I'm saying like you can't compare You can't compare what we do here on brilliant idiots the what I do over there for what we do over here Over 80 plus that was at episode 300 at over we had over 80 plus million listens. So we're way above that now You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I like what we built with the brilliant idiots This is a great platform and it's consistent seven years going baby You know I'm saying with with with a lot of ads and everything else. That's why I guess I guess when we do You know Finally take this thing to Another level another situation people will respect them or but I think I think to a lot of people This is brand new because I even see people saying to me charlamagne. You need to start your own podcast Like I didn't I didn't I don't want to do the charlamagne the god podcast I wanted to do brilliant idiots. I wanted to create a whole another brand with my guy Yeah, I mean and that's what we did and we have this whole unique You know Crew of listeners a bunch of brilliant idiots that roll with us and I appreciate it now when it comes to the breakfast club There's just this wide hip having hater On your button podcast who just puts out a lot of misinformation like what? I mean, it's just like when you say things like The breakfast club doesn't have the relevancy that it had two or three years ago Relevancy is subjective right because I I'm not trying to be the The the hip hop I am hip hop, but I'm not trying to be the guy that has the hot hip hop story Every couple of days, you know what I'm saying brothers like dj academics. They have that space, you know what I'm saying? And that's just the way that's the way the game goes and that's good. You know what I mean breakfast club Cater's to so many different things whether it's hip hop whether it's politics whether it's religion and spiritual leaders Whether it's mindfulness and mental health whether it's entrepreneurship So if you look at the breakfast club numbers not only have They gone up. We're in a hundred plus markets throughout the country. See this is the problem with consistency You get used to it for granted. Yeah, it gets comfortable when you take a mother You take a mother fucker averaging 30 points for 17 years like LeBron James for granted because you're just used to it Yeah, like like nothing really impresses you from them anymore because you've seen them at your best But when you're talking about what we're in toronto canada now, bro Bro, the breakfast club is syndicated in toronto fucking canada. We're in a hundred plus markets Global it's like you can't go anywhere where there are hip hop fans and they don't know what it is It's that it's not even just hip hop Charlemagne's on cnn and msnbc all the time because of the interviews that we do on the breakfast club We're presidential candidates You know i'm saying you got these you got those platforms like that saying the breakfast club is a must stop Yeah, but presidential candidates like like come on, bro Like yo like don't like appreciate things in our culture that have grown and that have evolved Okay Yeah, and just because they're not on your particular radar All at a time Maybe you need to get your head out of the fucking ground like a ostrich and look around And see how everything has grown and everything's evolved. I do that shit all the time Like I can look and I can see what place dj academics has In the atmosphere I can look and see what place joe budden podcast has in the ecosystem I can look and see what place rap radar has in the ecosystem drink champs joe rogan podcast jesus de mero You know Stuff you should know any any of these podcasts like you know this podcast out there that is doing motherfucking Fucking five million listens a month that I know y'all niggers don't listen to Okay That ain't a shot. It just is what it is. Right, you know, you know, you're right off shows you posted Yeah, I tried I took my head away from the camera. I feel like um I feel like a lot of times it's hard for us to get out of our bubble Yes, so it's like When people that were in our bubble Grow past our bubble and not past meaning they no longer operate within it But they also operate with other it within other things and if you don't see that Yes, you don't see the effect. So if you have this like very Uh myopic view of life, which is hey, I am looking at the hip hop world and how things are affected in the hip hop world You're not going to notice The greater effect of a show like the breakfast club joe does I give joe props, you know what i'm saying joe Joe joe joe joe really gave it up last week and he was saying like i'm not even going to he said i'm not going to understate the value Of the breakfast club and in shawlamain and what the game how the game would look totally different If he wasn't on wasn't on breakfast club no more and yo, by the way, man, I appreciate that You know i'm saying the reason I appreciate that because any of those brothers will tell you i'm the guy that gives it up You know i'm saying I salute joe button for what he's built with his podcast. I salute academics I salute a joe rogan. I salute andrew like I love this. I love to see people Prosperate, you know what i'm saying because yeah, it's so much out here for every fucking body You know i mean like when I see d nice, you know instagram and he does his dj live set And then I see a bunch of dj's following suit. I'm not mad at that Yeah, you know i'm saying he created an energy he created an energy that's creating Other waves, you know and I feel like we've always done that I feel like we've done that Whether it's with the breakfast club whether it's the podcast whether it's you would just stand up and You know the way you started putting it online and now other comedians are following suit like that's the way Shit is supposed to be so I just got to embrace the role as an influencer Like you got to embrace the role as the innovator like yes I think like the person who creates with confidence Is cool when everybody copies them because it's like, okay I'm just gonna make some more new shit Right and the person that creates with insecurity gets upset when other people are doing the same thing because they Don't have the confidence. They could create more new shit. I don't care when anybody takes the things we do I love it. I tell them to do it because you just gonna push me to do even more You could have to have a new idea, man So But yeah, I like I like the idea of like getting credit when credit's due But I also understand the role that you got to have when you're a leader, which is You're leading because you're built to lead. You're not leading for the credit You know I'm saying absolutely You're building that's what you said you hit it right on the head. I'm I'm building we're doing this because we built the lead You know me and I just I just don't like um I know this don't don't sit around and wait on Wait on people's downfall You know me because because because you know you A few years ago you like oh, they It's over for them. Like it's a wrap that they almost done. They burnt out and then we turn up We turn up in a way that people have never seen a show turn up in in in a couple years with With everything from presidential candidates to soldier boy to everything And now it's just like you got to kind of eat crow and your only thing is Well charlemagne's leaving so when charlemagne's leaving it's over. Nah, nigga You don't you don't by the way, we don't know what the future holds Is what i'm saying. I'm just saying like don't don't do that to don't do that to But it also looks bad on you because you got to stop you got to stop talking about someone like If there's someone you don't like you got to stop talking about them like their royalty Right because you have the ability to make news you have the ability to make waves You have the ability on your platform to do whatever you want But if you're sitting around going well, we'll take it once the king It leaves the throne It's like what you're paying for instead of instead of building your own pie and building your own throne go to work Yeah, just don't just don't I don't don't don't be a wide hip having hater is what i'm saying You know i'm saying like don't just put misinformation out there just because that's what you're hoping Happens, you know i'm saying because I don't do that to people, you know I mean when I see people and I think that they are doing good. I salute them I think you've been very complimentary of more to be honest with you I've very When he first got on there, I said yo, he was the missing link. So I don't know where the hate comes from You know, I mean, I don't I don't I don't know what it is But you know, I just hope that After this whole quarantine is over you can still fit in your genes Okay You be putting tension on them motherfuckers now, bro. Them shit be stressed the fuck out Okay Okay, all right my guy But uh, no I salute to the salute to the joe budden podcast salute the Academic salute to everybody man. D. The sparrow had a great point. I saw on twitter. He made a great point he said that the He goes the joe rogan experience Podcast is the drake verse for comedians And I thought that was really well put Like drake doing a verse on one of your songs. I really put you on Put you on and doing as a comedian doing joe rogan really can put you on man I get what he's saying, but joe rogan podcast got way more impact on comedians than it does The drake verse has on rappers like it's it it's been some songs drake has been on that hasn't hit, bro I can't think of too many comedians Shit, I can't think of any that's been on joe rogan that haven't seen some type of elevation some type of boost Oh, no, it's a guaranteed it's a guaranteed boost, especially when you're built for it Like I think a lot of people don't realize now like You have to be ready for a rogan you have to be ready for a breakfast club like When you go on rogan or breakfast club or one of these big podcasts, right? That has a lot of influence or brilliant idiots or whatever it is like if you have no digital footprint before All those people are going to go look for you afterwards because they like you and then if you have nothing on the internet They're going to be like, oh, he was fun and then they're going to forget about you But if you got tons of content already up you got a weekly podcast you got shit that's constantly in their face They're going to go. Oh, I love that guy I'm going to follow him and I'm going to keep up with him and I'm going to go check out his shows I'm sure the same thing is with hip hop all that you probably have guests They have a great interview But they just don't put out enough stuff where people can continue to pay attention to them That's what I always tell you don't come on breakfast club unless you got something to sell Unless you're trying to raise money for something You know what I mean unless you're trying to point people in the direction of something that you're You're trying to build like you know what I mean like that If it's not already set up and organized don't come on the breakfast club Should I still get people coming up to me Because of Joe Rogan podcast See, I mean and and I see people quoting shit that Joe Rogan said to me like literally Literally when all of those stories were out like oh, shall we leave in breakfast club? It was people in the comments of the new york polls you to everywhere and they were saying shit like Yo, like Joe Rogan says charlamagne is the last Radio star or whatever was like like listen man Some shows just have that impact and have that influence you don't take Joe Rogan for granted because he's been on for 10 years No Because honestly the longer you're on it's like a fine wine. It's like a cognac the longer you're on Consistently performing at a high level the greater Value your show has like you think you think canada is putting us on in the morning Because we was hot for a year No, canada is putting us on because we've been consistent for nine years And this is something that you can make an investment and this is good stock, baby Yo hot is way easier than consistent Oh, yes, man. Yes. That's why some people don't realize man. Exactly hot is way easier than consistent, right? Yo, the irony is hot is cool Yeah The irony is hot is actually cool And guess what that hotness can cool off real quick bra bra Yeah, you know I'm saying you can be hot for a year. You can be hot for two years Yeah, I mean, but when you consistently come come back and talk to me when you're consistent for 19 years Simple as that when for 19 years you've put up 30 Now you're a constant at all star, baby also Let's talk about something like cool in general Being cool is so wack Like have you ever been watching something that you're really excited about right? Mm-hmm Like a tv show or even a concert. Let's say there's a concert where you're just like fucking i'm gonna let loose I remember once I was at Ed Sheeran concert And there were some people in front of me and they were trying to act like they were too cool for the concert Like they weren't letting themselves get into the songs They were like some hipster fucking kids that they were like kind of making fun of the concert a bit And it ruined my experience because I was like, yo, why are you trying to be cool here? Why can't you all just Why can't we all have the confidence to just let ourselves go and enjoy this fucking great performer and just look stupid And all and in that moment I'm like, yo the the cool guy the guy who's like never that impressed kind of like over shit Nothing really phases him is the wackest dude Corny you never want him around It might be cool in a movie if you're like or a tv show if you're fucking fonsi or something like that But like as a friend you want to get excited about things in life and passionate about things in life And if you got your friend who's just like man, it's all right It's like, why are you even here? Why are you even it? Why are you even here? Why are you moving everything? Why are you here and why are you in front of the camera? Because my thing is like if you're going to be a comedian a media personality a musician If you think you're too cool for school and you can't open up and show some vulnerability Or or even be afraid to fucking fail You know what I'm saying? You got to be willing to get It's fear Fear If you're looking stupid Yes, you got to be willing to be to get criticized You know what I'm saying? You don't get you don't get 19 years of consistency without making some motherfucking mistakes It's going to be some times where you say some shit that people don't agree with that You do some shit that people don't agree with and motherfuckers gonna roll show ass for that shit But guess what you just got to continue to do you look at LeBron man Don't you know how much shit LeBron James gets? You know how much shit Jay-Z has gotten over the years? Oh, I guess what they did stayed Fucking consistent and and the only way to stay consistent is to know exactly why you're doing it. I'm not doing this Because I'm trying to get monetary gain out of it. I'm not doing this because I want people to love me I'm doing this because lennard mckelvey shalom into god loves doing this That's something that's something I think a lot of people don't realize like you and I are are smart people that understand Entertainment and we know how to make things massive if we want Yes, you wanted brilliant idiots to be a 10 million listen parkers Where there are things that we could do and change in order to make that happen What I want and I assume what you want is To do the show that we love And then get the most out of the thing we love not do the show that might get the most views that we hate So for me as long as I love doing this The if there's only I love doing this the people that listen that is enough for me because I love doing this and it's insanely Successful and profitable and all these things, but it's the show. I love to do that's a corona cheat code Joy, what you just said is a corona cheat code. It's a corona cheat code because We talking about doing something for the love, right? I'm in the basement right now doing the show You in the studio risking your life in the middle of new york city right now to do the motherfucking show, right? Everybody right now everything that all this shit is stripped away from us, right? The jobs you can't go into work. You can't go to school with that The only things you're really going to care about at this time is the things you actually love So it's your family, right? You lean into your family You lean if you're de nice you lean in the dj and if you're a communicator on a podcast or radio show You lean into that like I would be going crazy if I didn't have this kitten here And I couldn't do the breakfast club in the morning or if I couldn't do motherfucking the podcast, you know what I'm saying? So it's just like the thing you actually love the thing you would do for free Is what you're leaning into right now. You know why because technically you are doing it for free I know for a fact the nice probably lost like over 100 grand 150 grand this year because he can't go out then play gigs But he's in his house for nine fucking hours because he loves what he does He's not doing that because He wants you to love him. He's not doing that because he's trying to get some money That's how he was taking his mind Off off of off of this situation And everybody bought into it. Yeah, that's what we all have to do. You got to lean into what you fucking love During this motherfucker coronavirus into your love. That's that's fucking great. That's simple as that. Yeah Shit, let's do some asking idiots and get the fuck out of here man. Let's do it man. We got some taylor Yeah, I got some right here Okay Taylor you want to read them? Oh, you don't want it. You don't want to show your face because you don't got your head done Excuse me. You guys can read them as usual. Yep. Taylor won't put that fucking camera on Why do you try me all the time? Come on, put that Oh my god, look at that fucking hair God God Shit is rough and filling She's in brooklyn in new york She asked me to come to the studio. I said hell no All right asking idiot evan quaz donnie and says what is the most contradictory thing You've seen from someone who is being super cautious of their health in these times I mean probably me coming to the studio every single day hmm I mean, I am in the crib it's studio to the crib and everybody who works at the studio has to do the same thing a studio to the crib crib to the studio, but um I think that could be a little bit contradictory I probably could have been a little better about that. Um, and I saw yesterday in this time where elderly people It's really supposed to be taking care of themselves Joe biden was on jake tapper's show and he was broadcasted from his house And you know jake tapper started talking to him about his age because joe biden is like 67 No, he's 78 years old He's old right. He's he's gonna live He's he was joe biden is gonna remember bc twice before christ and before corona But joe biden fucking they asked him about um The corona virus And you know, how was he feeling? He's like, oh, I'm good. I haven't had I haven't had any symptoms and I'm taking care of myself And then he coughs into his fucking hell Literally seconds later and jake tapper is like that's not how you cough joe You're supposed to cough into your fucking arm and he's just like I you know what you're right You're right. I just thought that was contradictory and I couldn't even say very disgusting because he's at that age where he really don't give a fuck Yeah I mean, this is really every presidential candidate is 80 years old and we have a virus that really only kills them I don't know bro. This shit might be all about the running mate, baby Say what it's all about the running mate. They better get them a goddamn 40 something 50 something you're running mate with a great immune system. That's a fact Yes All right apex dot vmg says would you rather get yelled at by your girl? In front of your friends parents or kids asking idiot, what you say Schultz? Yell that by my girl in front of my friends parents or kids. Yeah, which one would you rather? I'd rather get yelled at in front of my parents because at least my dad would be like, yeah, you know, it'd be like that Yeah I don't mind yeah Well, you know what I wouldn't want to get yelled at in front of my kids by my girl Not my kids not my not my friends, but my parents they'll get it Yeah, I think the kids and the friends are disrespectful I think if you're yelling at me in front of your friends it got I got to know the reason you're yelling at me though Like for example I mean if I you know black men don't cheat, but if I got caught cheating and in that moment You know the girl that I was cheating with was there or you happened to look at my phone something I don't have to be the explanation for you yelling at me in that moment Okay, yeah, just yelling at me because you know you bossing me around like you do at the house Don't do that shit in public. Yeah. No, that's a little bit crazy. You can't do that Um, after a quorum Tariq shot ghost asking me a Tariq shot ghost said if you got the roni from your side chick Should you quarantine with her instead of risking the health of your family? If you got the rona from your side chick she quarantined with her except risking the health of your family um Oh, nah, man, you got to be with your family. I think if you got it everyone got it I think that's how the rona goes man if you got it your loved ones get it if they get it you get it That's just how it that's just how it is If you get if you get the rona from your side chick you should go quarantine by your mother fucking self That's a good answer too That's what you should do That's what you do quarantine by your mother fucking so and by the way You would never have to admit to your man girl that you got the rona from your side chick Because I could even prove that you got the rona from your side chick. Yeah, exactly Yo, that camera went right on Taylor's edge is just now crazy Who ever in this conversation keep going Hey at at hell gif is hilarious at hell gif commented I know this is sarcasm But this is why I love the brilliant it is listeners because this is a call back to something we talked about asking idiot What is your reaction knowing that steve barmer bought the forum for 400 million in cash Knowing that he could have gave each american one million dollars and still be fine Hey You know, I love american math, bro Hilarious, um, I like that he bought the forum though and finally give the clippers a home I think it's pathetic to share a stadium with the other team when you know that stadium is their stadium Like you can't develop fans like that. You can't develop like culture like that. I mean, it's just crazy You just you're the side chick. That's what the clippers are. So the fact that they're gonna have a home Boom. I'm into it. You're gonna see some competition in LA. Yeah, I see the clip was winning at least two championships Two to three over the next Over the next four or five years. So I think it's worth it You know saying it's worth it to be able to hang some of your own banners up In your own fucking stadium facts if they went one in the Lakers stadium. Could they even hang it? That's a good fucking question. That's a dilemma that LA has never been prepared to fucking, um To handle base. I think the clip has got retired jerseys. Don't ain't elgin baler retire I don't know. I don't know. But come on, bro. You need your own stadium All right, social gang asking idiot wants to know what would show to do to prevent more rona cases in new york Um Shit, it's a good ass question, man. Oh bad weather We said this earlier But that's the key if you could find a way to manipulate the weather just keep it rainy keep it cold outside Nobody's gonna go out the house. New yorkers don't like that shit We'll stay in if it's snowing we'll stay in if anything anything that could fuck up our sneakers We're not gonna leave the house. So put it fuck your sneakers up weather as long as this fuck your sneakers up weather Corona will die immediately in new york city All right, I think we talked about this but uh marty mcfly 24 says what is your take on trumpito? Trying to reopen the economy way too soon before experts recommendations. Um, i'm gonna be totally honest with you I I want that to happen. You know, I mean, I don't I I want to I want the country I want the country back open Right, you know what I mean? But I want the country back open when it's time for the country to be back open, you know, I mean Until you flat you can't worry about flattening flattening the economy until you flatten the fucking curve So that's the thing is like people's health And the health of an economy are intertwined If you don't have healthy people you can't have a healthy economy So if you open up the economy again, then everybody gets sick That's just gonna have even more devastating effects on the economy So I think you have to take care of the people first. I mean, look, I'm also no fucking economist or Health, uh, you know official But I think you got to take care of people first and then you crack that bitch open and then put a big stimulus Package in there put some money in my pocket. I'll spend it for I do understand. Oh, um Why they haven't implemented martial law and and only reason i'm calling it martial law because I don't know any other name for I would just say a government Mandated, you know Lockdown where everybody has to stay at home If donald trump wasn't the president if there was any other president in there that people actually trusted um And and didn't look at as a racist or a bigot or look at as they somebody that has the potential to be a dictator A king whatever it is They wouldn't mind if barack obama was in the white house and he said look We need to have a government mandated lockdown The flatten this curve. This is what they did in china We know we're not china, but americans you're gonna have to sacrifice a little bit of freedom A little bit of civil liberties just for a couple of weeks until we figure this shit to fuck out We'll figure out You know the packages to make everybody get a few thousand dollars or whatever it is for the next couple of weeks So y'all be able to pay your bills or you know, shit is suspended renting all that So y'all y'all can pay our bills if he if it was barack People would would would would accept it more being that is trump motherfuckers don't want to hear it not happening But if you look at you know the way the cases are throughout the country Yo, it's places that aren't getting hit nearly as bad as new york city Nearly as bad as new jersey nearly as bad as california So why should everybody be on a government Mandated lockdown Throughout the country, you know i'm saying you might need to build a wall around new york You know i mean build a small little wall around california Right and and and just contain things in the rest of the country Like it's no need for everybody to be on lockdown like certain parts of the country should be Kind of getting back to normal, right? I would think so I mean, yeah That's one way of looking at it the other way of looking at it is if they go back to normal It actually will start to spread again. That's I think the fear especially in new york New york's too much of a hub, bro But I think also the thing with new york is new york is testing more than everybody and if you get tested If you don't get tested you can't get anything I mean you can get it you just won't know No, I know I know guys who treated age tests like that for years 100% I used to go get that hiv That's right. You get that hiv test as long as you don't go back You good Oh Who knows anything y'all talking about corona not showing those symptoms You show me the symptom magic is shown Plenty of people that's living with hiv who haven't shown no goddamn symptoms. They just out here Okay Yeah, um, I killed the messenger. This is the last one Last question Uh, I killed the messenger said will the rona forever change the approach of eating ass No I think if anything will eat more ass because we know how much people value toilet paper Great fucking point americans got clean asses, bro America got clean asses if it's one thing america cared about is clean asses, bro I bet you bidet. I bet you the uh the the sale of bidets has Grown tremendously since this corona shit. We know they can't keep toilet paper on the shelf motherfuckers clearly ain't blowing their noses Yeah, man eating ass is in the second that we get back to uh, you know, no longer social distancing socializing second We get back to socializing eating ass is going down 100 You probably appreciate eating ass more because you know what the person put themselves through so you could get that ass in Yeah, because when it comes to distance, right like distance This six feet of distance thing when everything's all said and done It's gonna make us want to be as close to people as possible. You know what I'm saying Have your tongue in someone's ass. There you go. There you fucking go. I agree with you 120 million percent God, Taylor We see that thing of our tracks on your um dresser too. I just want to throw that out there. I don't you didn't Do not try me. Yes, we do. Well, you didn't fucking move You're annoying, but you forgot to mention too that um There's gonna be a lot of babies too after all this is done. I don't know because I ain't fucking you fucking show I'm fucking. I almost left it in today. So she might be right. Whoa All right, come on, bro. Okay. I did see a funny tweet yesterday. This girl was like, um Hold on Hold on. I'm gonna read your shit to you. This shit was funny. We can get we can end on this shit this girl said Bring the NBA back. I'm over here getting fucked six times a day All right The other girl left for comment and said bitch, that's all I gotta suck dick every two hours And then another girl sent the girl that says she gotta suck dick every two hours. She put prayers It's true, man When you when you have like something like this happen, you realize the athletes don't get paid enough Yeah, man. No for real y'all for the amount of distraction they give us. Yes, man. What about teachers? Say what? Man, they need to raise the bar for teachers too I mean, I'm gonna agree with you because it's the right thing to do I always thought teachers should get paid more money than I mean, my mom's a teacher though. So I don't know how much she made my mom The most my mom ever made was $30,000 a year. Oh, that's criminal. That's what I'm saying And she's in South Carolina like that teaches definitely. I guess teachers Doctors anybody that's a public servant like that. That's why our tax paying dollars should go to Okay, and don't ever let America tell you they can't afford shit ever fucking again All right, don't ever like don't wanna hear that shit, you know, I'm paid in full when Mitch was like, I'm broke, baby And and and uncle ice was like Shit, I can smell a motherfucker with money Okay, that's how we got to start calling out America when they say they can't afford you when they say we can't have free Healthcare when they say they can't afford free college when they say they can't erase student You know that student loan debt Fuck that these motherfuckers found two trillion dollars from some goddamn way So here's the thing with that. I mean, obviously some more a little more complex, but like here's the thing with that When they were thinking about bailing out the airline industry and the airline industry isn't like American Airlines or Delta It's actually people who make the airlines like Boeing and shit, right? Boeing rejected the bailout Why because the because the country was like we want equity in your company I believe we want equity in your company until we get our money back In other words, we get a piece of Boeing for five years until we get payback or whatever, right fair sounds fair to me Sounds fair, but Boeing this is what people don't realize when you're such a big company You have leverage Boeing is so big that if they fail it really fucks up the economy the global economy So in that situation, they're like no, I want more I want more in this negotiation So when it comes to like money if you really want to find a way to fuck the government into giving you money Make it so that when you guys for example, you want reparations Right. Yep. How did how did the bus boycott work? This is a perfect example. Not the bus boycott work. They fucking boycott it until Until they fucking got what they wanted because it affected the money. Yeah, right? So that's the way you do it like if black people you want reparations stop spending If black people really want reparations what they got to do is literally go Okay, we're not spending a single fucking penny We're going to grind this economy to a halt until you cough up some bread because we know the thing You're more scared about you being the government the government is more afraid than anything is the economy grind into a halt So the real power is the ability to stop the economy. So if you guys stop spending Completely then the government comes and negotiates just like the bus boycott. That's why they're not going to come bail out some student loans They're not going to do it. None of that shit unless we reduce spending and affect the economy in that way That's the best manipulation. I agree stop spending and um Stop just fucking randomly voting for goddamn Democrats if you're black, you know what I'm saying like, you know, we should be voting in blocks And we should be voting for people that are looking out for our best motherfucking interest Okay, but all I know is america you get that money whenever the fuck they want to bro In motherfuckers is like your mama Like, you know, you got that mama in the hood, you know, I'm saying who who you always thought was poor Until she reached you to that goddamn bra and pull out some stacks of motherfucking cash That's God. That's what the government did with that two trillion dollars two I don't even know how many zeros is in two trillion, bro. Two trillion fucking dollars The fuck it's a lot, baby. That's a lot of fucking money a lot Listen, um, I'll end on this uh, salute to teslan fagaro teslan fagaro had a PSA She said uh beware ladies the stimulus bill has passed You will get 1200 per adult plus 500 per child The same bum that wanted to spend your income tax your income tax last month But didn't pay any bills in your house is now back on the hunt And think it's true.
