You know what I mean more so Andrew Schultz and the reason I say more show Andrew Schultz Is because I really get a rush Watching my people prosper But watching Andrew prospered away. He prospered Doing it his own way. We just had this conversation last week on the podcast I was talking about the lever or maybe one of the mouse was here I don't remember but it's the leverage that this generation has that they may not know they have Because they can build shit on their own and only thing a Netflix can do is partner with you They can't do anything else. I bet you the conversation was totally different than most people who go trying to shop Something yeah, it was it was a I think it was different now again I don't know, you know, because I haven't dealt with them coming from a different position Be a little spicy. Okay, go go. I don't know because I don't come in motherfuckers banging. That's true You know, you was not thirsty, that's right. You were very hydrated. You went the Netflix very hydrated They couldn't even offer you a drink. That's that's true They're looking at your big-ass jug of water and they like shit. How can we sip on that? Thank you Imagine that no, that's literally what it is. You got a big jug of water. You over there drinking drinking They come to you like can I pay you for a sip of that and I was like That's it. You can get a sip. I'll pour you a cup Not gonna pay you up. I'm not gonna give you the whole bottle But I'll pour you a cup I'll pour them a bottle Brian go for it. I put a lot of work into that motherfucker right there No, no, but you put a lot of work in all your shit. Yeah, I've watched you darlin those YouTube clips Them should take time. Yeah, yeah I mean, so you put a lot of work in you to put a lot of work into it regardless Yeah, and a team bro like I know I'm gonna get the credit for this I said this on flagrant obviously because I'm you know the person delivering it But you know shots of Alex media Alex media directed it, you know first big Alex Directorial debuts on Netflix. That's pretty good. All this verbal abuse is paid off. This is what it's about, bro That's why you gotta stay down. Yeah, you know me you think somebody's being hard on you You know just because they're asked oh no They being hard on you because they see something in you that you may not see in yourself now You got a fucking directors credit on that. There we go shots of my boy Mark Gagnon man and Mark co-created with me He wrote with me and shots of Robbie Slovic He wrote on it as well an FAL guy and there's a lot of other people dove in the room That's my first friend in in college. He executive produced it as well Dough you know and then there's a lot of people behind the scenes everybody eats everybody eats Listen, that is true like you know, I think that's something that's true about both of us It's like the people around us are always gonna eat as long as you ride and you work your fucking ass off I can only create opportunities with people around me They got to step into those opportunities, but the people that do they tend to thrive man You really got to ask yourself that you know I'm saying like you know That's what she's supposed to do when you're in a position You supposed to make sure everybody around you process because there's always something for you to do Yeah, if you sitting around people and you starving Man Yo, but and that it's like maybe you're not providing nothing That's another thing is a lot of people are just like your friends with the dude is popping and then you're like, but where's mine? It's like, well, yeah, what are you doing? What do you do? You thought you was just gonna hang out there roll blunts and then be a millionaire and you don't even roll blunts It's like it's so simple, but a lot of people don't think it is like you can give people opportunities But they got to step in fill those shoes shoes man. I want to cuz I didn't even know Netflix did this I saw everybody posting it. So I went to Netflix to type in show say America I didn't know that they they do that before show come. Oh, yeah So they got like a splash page up matter of fact, we're gonna give them a little something sexy Maybe by the time this is up. There's gonna be something new over there But but yeah, what I want to do is I want to break the record for most add to your watch list I think you're gonna do it. I think you're gonna I think you're gonna do crazy numbers only because you already conditioned people For it. They're like finally. Yeah, absolutely But people are conditioned for they go to your YouTube page already, right? They go to your Instagram So they're absolutely going to Netflix. I went to that shit man. I stared at that shit. I'm like God damn. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Almost. That's it. I'm getting sensitive in my old day That shit was like I was like wow, Terry. I'd like good man I got a look at the shit with the flames and I've clicked on I'm like that's fucking Andrew You earned it. That's it. You earned it. Nothing given nothing fucking given facts earned it nothing fucking given a buddy of mine text me He goes He goes you played the game on difficult No, and what you didn't even play the game. Ah You didn't even play the game. Yeah, not now when you were playing a game the industry was difficult, right? That's what made you say man. Fuck this shit. I'm gonna go start my own Yeah, yeah, the way that I've always looked at things and like It was You could be next to the thing that's hot and then hope they're charitable with the heat, right in terms of like You know like go to all these like parties and shit like that and like go to these like comedy festivals and like Kiss up to every single exec there and hope by kissing up that they're gonna give continue to give you these Or you could create the thing that has the heat and then other people will want to be doing business with you They see and then that was the whole transition and obviously being with you and you know Starting this with you was something that made me realize like the power that goes into that and then continuing to do Flaggering and putting out the YouTube clips and even the special I was like, oh shit You don't have to Siphon off someone else to see you could create your own fucking heat and then people want to do business with you So I was like that's the that's the life. I want to have I don't want to live off charity Man, I want to create my own shit and you know be charitable to others But the crazy thing is when Schultz when it hits for Schultz because it's gonna hit when it hits for Schultz It's gonna be so massive because it's like watching and I always compared to rap, right? Like you I'd rather be Jay-Z Are ti right because their first projects came out Didn't do great commercially, but they were critically acclaimed right people fucked with them But they just built you just watched, you know Jay-Z especially you just watched the progression. Yeah next album It was good and commercial right commercial success next album was great and commercial success And he just kept building building building building building I'd rather have that and come out the gate red hot 10 million records sold the first album And then next album because there's no way to go from there You know me when somebody watches your career trajectory and they like yeah, I remember Andrew from guy cold You know me. Oh, I remember Andrew from doing the brilliant podcast Oh, yeah, I've been to Andrew stand up before oh Andrew from Flaggering that it didn't oh Andrew doing the YouTube videos Oh shit Andrew got a Netflix special now those people that's been riding with you those new folks That's gonna come on cuz of the Netflix special like yo, you know Andrew shows the fuck you just getting on shows Yeah, yeah, you just getting on has he Kyle Walker? You just getting on the toxic crusader Yo middle-aged has he was so funny when you put that in the caption But what middle-aged had you would would you rather have gotten it seven years ago or getting it right now? No, I get it right now the way that we got it man is is super satisfying, but also I got to say like getting it and I don't care if it sounds contrived like Once you have the love of the people There's not any really extra validation from like the love of the network Yeah, like doing this opportunity allows me to get to more people sure but I Don't value it more than I've valued all the people fuck with me when we're putting stuff up on YouTube Facebook and Twitter like that to me is the ultimate so in a weird way I've been seeing the reaction and like people are really personalizing the win as they should because there's always people who've been Sharing my shit for fucking years and telling all their friends. Yo, this kid's the truth blah blah blah and then when you see the commercial Start to catch up with the community All the sudden I think for all those people who built the community were like see I was right Yeah, I knew I was right I trusted my guts and and man the industry's in trouble simply because they have no choice, but to start treating motherfuckers fair They have no choice at this point like I love what Tiffany Hattish did I thought that was positively brilliant telling the Grammys like y'all I'm not hosting this shit for free You know what you want me to you don't you don't want to pay me Yeah, you don't want to provide hair and makeup all wardrobe. Yeah the fuck do you think I am out? I mean, she don't got hair Exactly She might need a haircut, you know, but it's just like the fact that she's able to even say that Without even worrying about hey, man, what if they don't nominate you for any Grammys? I mean she's nominated this year for her her stand-up special on Netflix black miserable But the fact that she's not even concerned about it. Yeah, cuz she's she's in a space where she's good Yeah, fuck if you're getting such and such amount of money for a movie you got partnerships over here partnerships over there What the fuck were you gonna show for free for the look? I love the energy of that I love the energy like you're already satisfied like you don't need these motherfuckers these like execs or whatever to love you You don't need like the industry to love you need to be invited to the parties in the hills. I'm good with my people I'm good where I am financially. I could take care of my family. I don't need anything else So if you're gonna provide something else, it's gotta be the right opportunity. Absolutely. Yes, and not even complaining about it It's like I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I felt insulted. Yeah, I'm out. Yo, we got um We got a little Charlotte you're in the special a little bit really Just don't put me in the predator's part All I'll say is is I'll say this when it comes out watch Well one show you pop up in some pictures that I think are quite fun The thing is rack with jokes I've you seen all of our pieces but a lot of people know is that like every piece has like a little easter egg in it Every like joke often in the picture. There's another little thing like and we try to hide a lot of little things Throughout the special but yeah, sure. You pop up in some pics.

You had a decent week this week. Did you not a pretty good week? I heard I saw a poster to talking about deals being made Talking about re-signing to I heart, you know what I mean? Yeah for another maybe five years Yeah, did another five year do now to me I don't I don't know how long you plan on doing it, but to me it kind of felt like This was like maybe you're possibly last deal. I don't know. I mean, you know what you you feel that way, right? But then on the same day my deal got announced how it's turns deal got enough How would start sign for another five years and Howard was like Shit, I have no reason to leave. I do the show from home He's getting a hundred and twenty fucking million dollars a year. Is that what he's like And I'm looking at Howard. I'm like now Howard's 60 something. So I'm like what I still want to be doing Yes, radio. I probably got me now. I'm a talker like right, right? I love radio. I actually enjoy radio Um, I don't know. I really don't know. I really don't know what the I honestly truly can say I don't know what the future I'm sure everybody was asking you to sign. Why specifically I heart? Loyalty, yeah, uh, you know, it says something when you've been with somebody for 10 years And you know, they they've just always had your back. Yeah, you know what I mean? I mean, and I like I heart for a lot of different reasons. I like I heart because they let the Creatives be creatives and they let they really do believe out the way They get out the way and they really do believe in freedom of speech. Yes, right? I mean, this is the same. This is a company that goes from Russian Limbaugh to Bobby bones to Elvis Durand So, you know the breakfast club Charlemagne, right? And then you know premier radio network same thing you got Steve Harvey, you got, you know Mario Lopez like they just have a bunch of different Voices, right? And you know, I love radio. So if I'm gonna stay in the game of radio, there's no better place to be than There's no better place to be than I heart Yeah, and plus the fact that they've always empowered me as a talent But now they're empowering me as an owner and an executive, right? As you know, the first announcement that came out was the black effect podcast network Yeah, I'm 51% majority owner of right. So they're enabling me to have this company, which I would have anyway But partnered with I heart on it a majority owner. That's a different level of empowerment, right? That's that's that's that's really Honoring our relationship in a real way, you know, it was really cool about the the pod network was outside of like the podcast that came on it But seeing all the people that I've been working with with you get jobs on it Yeah, you know what I mean? Like Taylor is employed by the black podcast network, right? And like you have all these people that are actually working. We're a hundred percent black staffed. Is that right? 100% black time. What time does everybody get in every day? Luckily we can work from home Luckily everybody can work from home, but a hundred percent black staff Dolly Dolly Bishop is the president of Dolly Exactly, you know, where we meet Dolly over at MTV, right? Yeah, I met Dolly at MTV Like maybe six seven years ago. Yeah, I mean it's the same as like it's like me and your relationship It's just one of those people you meet and you're like, I knew this dude in another life I knew this person in another life, you know what I mean? And it's like Dolly has been a home of your mind family friend forever, you know And it's just like she's so dope and so creative and so smart and got her own resume that she's been building and I'm just like If I got the opportunity to make somebody the president of my network. Yeah, now we're not gonna be humble for a second We don't have to be humble when we talk about taking care of our people and like providing them with opportunities. I Don't think so. You just telling the truth I'm just saying because that's fire, bro Like given the first opportunity not the first I'm sure you had our opportunity but given the opportunity to like put people in positions of power and get them some money Like both of us This last few weeks, that's exactly what we've done. You know, yeah, I mean listen, it's easy to talk about that's on Say a lot of people talk about empowering that kind of shit, but like I don't know if you see it exactly I just think I just think what we've always done is just being magnified. You know what I'm saying? It's not I was reading in my daily affirmation book this morning and they talked about how whatever you do with a little Is what you're going to do with a lot So it don't matter what position you're in you can assist anybody if that's who you are Yeah, I mean Some people just ain't built like that mother if a mother is constantly telling you man, just wait till wait till I get this Wait till I get that I'm gonna I'm gonna put you in put you in position. Yeah, you got 50 cents. Get your brother 10 Yeah, I 15 20 you can do something. Yeah, I mean some people just ain't built like that. So yes Black Effect was the first thing they empowered me as the owner and now they empowered me as an executive. Um, I Can't even remember my exact title right now. What's my exact title tell me the cop, bro Like I'm a senior executive see but basically I'm helping cultivate new talent create new programming. Really? Yeah help You are the senior creative officer officer of cultural content and programming and co-founder EVP and Chief creative officer of the black effect podcast network. Yeah, all of that. So basically so so yeah for footer I heart I'm helping to develop new talent that pointless ass title, bro. Hey, man. I'm a senior executive They just call you senior black You the senior black at our heart. No, I'm not the senior black cultural awareness But coach is not just black though It is Coach is culture. I grew to a hundred percent on that and I use the term culture in different ways But there are there obviously is the term the culture that black people have coined and it is a reflection of black culture, right? but I'm just helping to curate new talent curate new programming Events which we already do anyway, you know what I mean like events community Community initiative stuff like that which I which I already do anyway. So it's just like boom. There's the title So and it's also just a way for me to you know, walk around the building and tell a tale of the watch How she talks to a senior executive at I heart I mean, that's it. So yeah, life is good. Life is good. What else what else going on this week, bro This week what else happened? What the fucking idiot is there? I had a what a fucking idiot in my mind I've literally had a what a fucking idiot Maybe that's a good thing that we didn't have a what a fucking idiot because I was just so happy about what happened But I did it was something that I wanted to come in here and say what a fucking idiot about the Cardi thing Which one was it? No, it wasn't that the Cardi thing with the bag My girl really like she said she wanted to buy this bag And then people were hitting her up on on Twitter saying like it's messed up that you should bought you say You're gonna buy an $80,000 bag while people are out there suffering. Oh, I didn't mind it to Cardi's credit Cardi was started posting like her charitable donations I wouldn't even have did that first of all Cardi is acting her wage And this is the thing about social media and we have to remember this You're not Cardi B. And that's what people need to realize just because you can add a person Yeah, and if that person may even respond to you y'all not on the same level That social media is literally the safari right like you get in your safari and you watch how other people live Yeah, yeah Cardi has money to spend on an $88,000 bag So when she gets on there and she goes yo man, should I you know buy this $88,000 bag? What y'all think that's the equivalent of you saying hey, man, should I get pizza? How to Papa John's today? And that's not a diss is just that she's acting her way Means to her She's operating from a level of a person who is in that position And I think it's weird for people to see because they watched her come from the bottom Yeah, they remember her when she was Seven six seven years ago when she was just in the script club and she was making funny Instagram sketches and shit like that Like I think it's weird for people, especially if you're still in the same space Yeah, but you have to watch this person evolve over the past six seven years You can't get mad at her because she can afford a $88,000 bag That's how she's living then she turn around and flex on you again and show you how much money she's donated to charity I wouldn't have did that cuz I'm just not in the I'm like I'm not explaining Myself to people on social media. Yeah, I might do it on the podcast I'm not getting on social media to explain my fucking stuff cuz all they're gonna do is take you out of context, right? They did that with Carrie and Jamel. Who's Karen Jamel? Carrie champion in Jamel Hill. Oh That actually was it. Okay. Let's set that up because that is interesting. That's actually interesting conversation It's I put that in the what a fucking idiot category. Yes, because but but yeah Because of the social media reaction because I watched Yeah, I watched the show advice. I want I want Taylor to insert the clip to but they had Jake Paul on Jake Considered where we are right now in our racial conversation in America was what you did to Nate Robinson racist That is the question of the week Come on Jamel Hill starts it off by saying did you think it was racist? For that you that you knock out Nate Robinson. She's clear She's laughing the whole time all of that shit and Jake's like I stopped playing with me He knew he knew he said it. Yeah, I stopped playing with me man He's like that's this boxing whatever whatever then something happened with his computer So they a froze so cackles all your froze. Okay, let's start from the top so Carrie doubles down She's like was it racist that you knock that you didn't there's a Jake Paul's like, oh, that was it That's the shitty question and like whatever whatever Y'all had to know they were playing you social media had to know they were playing here's the thing if Not anybody else, but if most other people ask that question It's cuz it's a male. It's a joke But when Jamel Hill her career has turned into here's why everything's racist when you ask the question which is Consistent with all the other questions that you're asking her statements people are gonna take you serious Yeah, and that's the that's the thing like Jamel. You gotta know that. Yeah, Jamel's an amazing talent to me I've always respected she knows of a fourth round pick That's a punter had said something racist 14 years ago in like a you know a term paper He wrote for middle school like she'll find that somewhere Posted on Twitter like see look the punter for the Patriots is racist And then you ask another question that's as consistent with that and then people take it out of context You can't be like I'm a comedian now But you know what's fucked up about that shit though Jamel always has had a sense of humor and she's always expressed it but I guess it gets lost in The wokeness I would call it. I don't mean I guess it gets I guess it gets lost in that So people have a narrative about Jamel in their head so soon as they see that yeah, they like oh hell No, but it was clearly I knew she was joking. I knew she was joking and if anybody else asked it I think it's a joke if you asked it. It's a joke. No, I wouldn't ask it like that. How would you ask it? I would have said um, I would have said so Jake Paul Do you believe in the black lives matter movie? And when he said when he said yes, I would have said so why'd you kill Nate Robinson? That's how I would have done it, you know, I mean I would have done it like that, but You know, I mean it's just a fact that people reacted the way they did to Carrie and Jamel But they do that all the time on social media. They take a clip They manipulated they cut it up. They didn't even start with Jamel. It started with Carrie Because Carrie's tone was a little more serious even though she was joking as well Right, and then Jake goes. Oh, that's a shitty question and she goes. Why is it a shitty question? So even though she being sarcastic and playing it looks like she's dead-ass serious Yeah, and I'm just like, how could y'all spend all day or at least half a day Mad at this obvious sarcasm because people just hate hypocrisy. That's all it is And then it looks hypocritical. It's like that Chappelle joke where he's like just cuz I'm dressed this way Remember like when he was wearing a policeman's outfit and the girl's like help help and he's like just cuz I'm dressed this way Why would you think I'm a police officer? And that's the same thing if you know dress the part people gonna treat you as a part I felt that way about uh How everybody reacted to Casanova this this this week too. What happened with that? He got locked up or something Yeah, he got locked up on a federal indictment, and I guess in the paperwork I was reading the paper where the paperwork said that, you know, it was something it was some interviews that he did You know, I guess it was some interviews about a stabbing or something like that and then everybody um, You know took a clip from Vlad TV and it became this whole, you know, Vlad TV is the feds, right and I really feel like We're missing an opportunity To have a bigger conversation when we can't look past our personal feelings for people, right? So same thing with Jamel people have Personal feelings towards you know, they have a narrative about Jamel So they couldn't even see that it was saw Catherine. It was joking, right same thing with Vlad people have, you know Ill feelings toward Vlad. It's a narrative about Vlad So they just harp on that instead of looking at the bigger picture, right Yeah, go go the bigger picture is Okay, what's the word? Would Jamel a hill afford that same I guess I don't know patience luxury to someone else. I don't think she would like I don't know That's a good question just based on what I've seen from her I don't think that she would have the same tolerance and maybe it's coming from a good place Maybe it's like I have a zero tolerance policy to any racism I don't care how old you are or anything that could potentially be Misconstrued as it I hate racism and I'm not tolerant none of that shit and I I'm not anti that at all Mm-hmm, but because she presents herself as having zero tolerance policy She can't look at maybe someone who was a kid and maybe made a mistake or did something go and It may be made she's kind of like that So then you look at that person you're like oh So she has no talents for forgiveness or no tolerance for jokes or no tolerance for any of that kind of stuff So then I'm not gonna have any talent for her she's absolutely they couldn't wait like that's the thing though when you have when you Had wait, that is wait. Yes when you have a voice when you have a platform I mean the good thing is this right your voice matters. Yes, because if your voice didn't matter they wouldn't be on your ass like that So Jamel and Carrie's voice matters, but they could they can't wait to jump on Jamel They can't wait to catch Jamel slipping, you know what I mean because of the fact Jamel will call people out on they shit And that's fine you when you're that type of person you're that type of personality you have to know that comes with the territory I tell folks all the time everybody gets a turn. Yeah, every there's not one person who has a podcast or radio show a TV show If you're vocal for a living Eventually you will get a turn. Yes. That's why I don't fall into that social media darling love Social media is full of shit. They don't like you. Yeah So you and some people literally they don't like you they just like that you agree with them Yo, they like what you guys have in common I want to pull it's this Barack Obama quote that he said in an interview a couple weeks ago. I Would my phone? Yes, Barack said This is in regard to the funding the police. He said the key is deciding Do you want to actually get something done or do you want to feel good among the people? You already agree with? That's all social media is it's a bunch of motherfuckers trying to feel good among the people They already fucking agree with so if you wake up every day and you have to wait for social media to tell you what to think you have you see something and You scroll down the timeline and see what other people are thinking and then you formulate your opinion Bro, you're gonna have a hard life. It's gonna be a long day for you I always wonder like if you couldn't see how many retweets or likes you got if people would even tweet this If they wouldn't yes, it's because it's not because they don't it's because they don't really care about the issue What they care about is that positive feedback? Yes, you know, they're just tapping into the reward system Yes, how can I get some paths on the fucking back and it's bullshit? You know by the same time I'm not gonna be some of the hate on social media because social media gave me a career in a lot of ways, right? It gave me the opportunity to get all of us. Yes We all we all won off of it. So we're all you know, it's it's it's amazing But it's also shitty, but it's so easy to get caught in that vacuum especially when like If you tap into a movement, it could be wokeness. It could be Trump ism It doesn't matter But if you tap into a movement that is super passionate and you just say the things that those people want to hear That is a express lane on the highway. Yeah to Some social media fame if you will yes So you got to be very careful like just is like the athletes that go maga like Kobe Covington and those people You got to be careful because the second you leave maga all those people I'm gonna turn on you not yet because they never fucked with you as a fighter That's what you cuz you agree with them right and the same thing with Jamel It's like if you build your fan base as only people that are part of this woke sector And then you want to diverge from that a little bit because your opinion is more nuanced on a topic They're gonna eat you too. Absolutely. I mean listen. I mean I think uh, like, you know Somebody like Jamel Jamel people love Jamel, right? But then people really don't like Jamel I think what what what fucks with you is when you're just doing you Right, and then all of a sudden the people who you thought fucked with you Give you that backlash on social media You never fuck with you. They never they never that's the thing. They never really fucked with us just agreed That's it. So they can't but and they can't wait to fucking turn those tables on you Everybody gets the turn. Yo, that's the thing that I realized about this game, bro is like And maybe it come full circle a little bit is like if you do it the quote-unquote right way Like if you actually like stay true to who you are the right way is not giving a fuck It's not giving a fuck and even that and I'm not even well I that became cliche for me at a time like it's almost like a Not giving a fuck is a character is a character sometimes sometimes y'all give a yes We wouldn't be talking into a microphone So people could listen if we didn't give a fuck. Yes, absolutely But it has to come a point where you give the least amount of fucks of the give a fuck people. Yes But you should just my thing is this just be true to you and it takes longer that way That's the thing about being true to you right is when you're true to you people have to remove themselves From their ideology and fuck with you and it's so much easier to go where y'all going y'all go to the park Well, I'll go to the park with y'all It's ways you do that thing going you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go to the beach and they're trying to go to the park and then you're like Well, I'm still going to the beach. Yeah, and y'all don't have to come but eventually you might want to come with me and it takes longer but It is so much more fruitful because at the end of that journey the people that fuck with you aren't gonna purposely take your shit out of Context because all of a sudden it's like a friend where if my friends is something fucked up That's my friend. He's not cut off. I gotta go. Well, what did you mean by that? Then he explains it and I go, okay, that makes it and then the group think the group think the social media is Ruin y'all too because a lot of these people they don't even feel the way you think they feel They're just going along to get along So I know you see these hundreds and thousands of tweets of people and you think they're on your side No, they just don't have the nuts to go against the grain They don't have the nuts to get on to it and be like man y'all fucking tripping right now. Mm-hmm. Y'all is wrong There's everybody in Hollywood explain like Hollywood this like super liberal Hollywood, right? Everybody out there is like, okay We need to be incredibly progressive incredibly woke because that's how you Right and then the second some shit when some shit don't make sense and everybody sitting around like this don't really make sense But they nobody want quiet quiet Not gonna say shit quiet as fuck. It's the emperor's new clothes You know that story about the emperor when you do make them close the beginning to make him nothing He was walking around naked and everybody's like, you know, that's just fire, right? That's literally what it is. They're the stupidest thing Big dick, maybe maybe Always thought they was complimenting Maybe he was chiseled as a motherfucker Seriously, maybe he was chiseled as a motherfucker with a big dick and they was like shit fuck them clothes You are the emperor. Yes, walk around like that. Oh, that's what I always took from that story Maybe it's a white thing to not assume But the point is is like Hollywood shuts down because of corona and what happens all those motherfuckers they all move to red states They all move to Texas. They all move to Nashville all of a sudden those values. The Carolinas, Florida Oh, I mean George is historically a red state the term blue But yeah sure, but you don't say so all of a sudden like all those values There was so important them and all these people like I could never live in a place that didn't have the perfect bathroom Setups and all this shit all the things they really cared about all of a sudden they're like, oh, I could save a few points on taxes Well shit take me to Texas take me to red state is phony bullshit in the second that they didn't need the things from those people I'm out. Yeah, I think what we're essentially saying is just um Jamel success took a shot at her That's all her success took a shot at it You know when you're successful and you become successful, you know being who you are It's just like people can't even see past You know the narrative they've created for you in your head good or bad Because then some people's mind you know can't do no wrong Yes, and some people's mind all she does is wrong and this was just another example of see Yeah, this is the shit. I'm talking about when it comes to her. Yeah, but she was clearly being sarcastic She was clearly joking some people were like wait, why were you being sarcastic? That's a good question What do you mean? They were like no it wasn't it was racist. Why would he do that? I bet there are people that I bet there are people that were like yo Yo, and Nate called out Jake. I never thought Rocky was racist. Nah, he's Italian from Philly If Rocky was racist what the fuck was Ivan Drago, oh that motherfucker was He thought Rocky was black he's like All right guys We'll take a break for a second pay some pills man because we need to get you got some food We need to get you guys some food we need to get you got some deals And we need to deliver right to your door and the way that we do that is with door dash All right, no other company is door dash only.

Let me start the show again Like jeez he fucking killed Apollo. Yo, by the way Nate Robinson fell just like Apollo fell. Yeah, I Didn't even realize that that shit is fucked up. Mm-hmm. That's why she didn't ever happen though. Nate called out Jay I don't care. That's Twitter. Yeah, why Twitter is it real life? Yeah, that box is really that shit alone, man He's motherfuckers will fuck you up even this shit Logan Paul about to do why Logan son I hit them up, bro. I hit up Logan. I was like, bro I don't even know what's going on over here. I'm like, how are we gonna sell this fight? I'm more disappointed in Floyd Can you hate on Floyd? Yeah, but how I'm disappointed because he is One of the greatest boxes of all time 15 oh what has Logan Paul done to be in the ring with you? What is Logan Paul done to generate that kind of payday? I know you're gonna make money Floyd Floyd you'd make money Fighting anybody that we you make money fighting Pacquiao again. Yeah, but that is risky. There's risk with Pacquiao. I get it but Yeah, for what like I mean, I guess he saw the Mike Tyson Roy Jones pay Paper of view. I think they did like 1.5 million buys at $50. Oh, yeah, that shit was stupid They did like 1.5 million paper of you by that like $50 a pop I really hope that they got some of that money Because because the guarantee was a million dollars for each of them and they were just Estimating before the fight and it was like, you know, Michael probably walk away with ten royal walk away with three Now that shit is like damn it tripled. You know what I mean? Really? Oh, yeah Yeah, they got it makes me so happy. You said the best thing about that shit in your caption You said these guys have offered me so much joy throughout my life The least I could do is give them $50. Yeah, Chris Rock told me people don't pay you for what you do Pay for what you done So when you become a Mike Tyson Arroy Jones, you gonna get this money. Yeah, why wouldn't I give Michael Roy $50? Yeah For all the years of entertainment. They've given me Yeah, it's $50 and run with it. Yeah, and that's what I think Floyd's in and I hope I you know The first thing people always like to say is Floyd is having money problems. Ah, Floyd probably just likes money I think he likes money likes money. Yeah, and I think he's at a point where he's just like look I'm on an island. I don't really care. I don't care motherfuckers. Thank everybody knows. I'm solidified I think he's trying to chase the billion Are you think he's not there yet? But how is he gonna get to the billion or one of these fights? I mean How much you okay, how much we really think that they could okay, this is the most important thing Mm-hmm. You have to in order to sell this fight People have to either hate Logan so much. They want to see him get his ass kicked or they have to believe He's got a chance. That's why I don't know why he didn't fight Jake. I just knocked out Nate Robinson I think Floyd thinks he's fighting Jake. I Thought he was fighting Jake too. I think it's right at three times. I think this is racism. Yeah There's only one Paul brother So he's like the blonde one on YouTube. Yeah, I'll find him So which one called him out one of them called him out both of them have been calling But Logan called him out and he had like a like a little Instagram video We had his like letters on his name like on a wall and you can't read this blah blah Listen, it's gonna name this on Floyd not reading because I didn't not being able to read because I didn't know It was Logan either I saw this shit and I was like, oh shit He fighting Jake Paul and me and I even though I didn't like it I was like, okay, that makes sense He can act like he didn't get back for Nate and even when he sent that post about Nate Yes, I thought it was setting it up. Yes, I must go get revenge and look it could be that Floyd is going alright I'm a fight Logan and then maybe on that same card You have Jake fight somebody and ideally Jake knocks him out and even if Floyd beats Logan up easy Jake starts calling out Floyd then Floyd fights a brother and then it's another payday And maybe that's their whole strategy and then it's brilliant. It's about Logan Paul and Jake Paul Mm-hmm. You want to kill fucking Rodney real boxes, okay? That is 100% true and somebody needs to be concerned with but here's the thing in order for us to buy this fight We either got a hate Logan or we got to think he's a chance Logan is hard to hate Like the guy is a genuinely nice kid. He's good. He's living a good life. He's got incredibly popular podcasts He's and he's not gonna lean into the whole maggot thing or anything like that that would garner interest So how the fuck do we garner interest in a fight? I didn't know he existed until this week I'm not even lying to you, but he exists within YouTube in a big way. I'm sure he does really know I had no idea Jake Paul had a brother. I when I saw the fight. Yeah, I'm like, why the fuck is he fighting Jake Paul? Well, then I had to really and I read again like Logan and then I saw somebody tweet like that's not even Jake No, Logan is more popular than Jake. Really? Yeah, he was the big one So when Jake keeps talking about fighting his brother, he's actually talking about Logan. Yeah Why don't you don't fight at the house? They probably have I got a ring at the house. I I reach I respect Floyd as a boxer Yes, I just don't think he should disrespect the sport of boxing in that way You know, I saw his daughter talk about how you know, they're disrespecting boxing by having concerts at the fight She said that I thought it was dope too. Yeah to me. This is disrespecting the sport of boxing You're Floyd Mayweather, but you're 15. Oh, yeah, like yeah, why yeah I wonder if they have the concerts because they don't have access to the footage of them fighting in the past You know in between fights you usually show that like old footage I just thought it was a good mesh of like culture and fucking they did it seems like for a first-time event Produced by those folks in terms of like the boxing world They did that shit better than when showtime started putting on boxing matches. Remember when showtime started doing boxing Yeah, I remember watching those early days and I was like man. I need Larry merchant. I need Roy I don't know who these clowns are but this is not HBO standard. I enjoyed it the concerts come on You go fix you a drink, you know, I'm saying you come back you sipping you watching you last Killed it Izzy killed it like was Izzy style bender. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they killed it And honestly what they were doing is kind of difficult because When they're sitting like 10 feet away from each other It's not the same energy like you can't really bust balls joke around you like slapping somebody It's just you feel a little detached. You know what snooping Izzy added to it Regularness. Yeah, they were the average fan. They weren't the announcer like that did the one guy that was sitting there Oh my god, Mike Tyson just came through with the left hook He's on the ground like, you know, I mean like who the fuck talks like that And then Snoop is just like na-na-na-na Yes, I can't remember the other name. He sounded like Tori Lane's doing quarantine radio like Quarantine, quarantine, quarantine, quarantine. Mike Tyson. Oh my god. He's heating up. Like who the fuck talks like that? NBA Jam Boys. Yeah. Snoop and Izzy sounded like us sitting there watching the fight. Yeah And yo, maybe that's the great thing about having non-professional boxers fight Is that you don't need professional boxing announcers to say what's going on. It turns into like some street beats Yeah, I can see that. Even exhibitions, you don't need like I don't really care about any of the technicalities Alright, who gives a fuck? Let's just talk about it man. That's it. I want to see D's and Meryl going that shit. That would be fire Yes, I want to see like I want to see I think that's a dope concept to have different people hosting Certain events especially the shit that don't mean nothing. Yeah, I mean it means something. It's entertainment But that literally was just entertainment that day. We were thinking for like for sports that you should be able to choose your announcers Right, so like you could tap into another audio feed So for example like let's say you watch Cowboys games with your pops and you're like, you know what fucking I'm gonna announce this game and then you and your pops just announce it and then Somebody could literally just switch the audio off on their screen and then listen to your version. I'd be fire Right that will be fire. That's a great concept. You know who else used to do that You know who bought that to the NFL at one point Dennis fucking Miller. That's right. Dennis Miller people didn't like it Oh, I don't remember him. He was I promise you if you go back and you listen to those Monday night games He was calling he sounds like people sound now. He was before his time. Okay, so they didn't appreciate it They're like, man get the for you want bring back John Madden. Whoever you know I mean like they were used to the announcements and but he was just a regular on this talking shit and That it was it made for good fucking So you enjoyed it even back then um In hindsight It was I didn't I didn't not enjoy it back and it just felt like somebody just do some cold water on you like Like you know, I mean this is like doing podcasting before podcasting. Yes. Yeah, this had to be what? Early 2000s low key is that all being an announcer of a football game is just a podcast Like most of it they're not doing the play right because football so stop and go So a lot of it is just you just talking. What is it like in there? You realize a lot of them aren't really that good like don't like guys like Tony Romo show you Romo comes around and you That's how you use this Yes, yes for real like you just like man. Everybody's just Announcing just guessing. Yeah Romo's good. I like Troy Aikman NBA I don't know who the guy is an NBA Jeff and Gundy. Oh, no Jeff is good I do. I like when Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson host games. Yeah, but I would like to see more I would like to see Charles Barkley Kenny Smith Shaq hosting a game was announcing a game That's what he's another one. That's why he brought he broke the mold He didn't sound like everybody else that was sitting around at that fucking death like the anchor in this went out the window I don't want to say professionalism because he's very professional But it's just a certain buttoned up way of doing voice. He stopped a boy. Yo When did we like create a voice for television and who decided radio all that shit? Hello at 9 o'clock. We have that and so people are actually changing that like you know how like black people do their white person voice on The job in a forever white people are doing a white person voice On the news Quarantine radio was so funny because he was mocking an announcer Quarantine quarantine. That's how these guys sounds when you just get up there and fucking talk you break the fucking mold man When do you think Americans stop talking in like that goofy ass English accent like because we were English And then we came over here And do you think there was just like a sigh of relief where they're like finally I just get to say hello I didn't know that I mean English people come to America We were all speaking like English people, bro. I was speaking a bonnix my whole life, bro Are you talking about? Well, yeah, you you didn't ever have an English I Grew up in a geeky gullet environment right by the way every white person I ever met Sounded like the white people on TV. No, oh really how Martin leads them. Hey, hi. Hi. My name is Jerry Like in my mind. That's how all white people sounded for a long time. That's the thing about like the south Which and now it doesn't actually don't feel that way But like I wonder if because there's so much more land People were and also obviously history racism But like the segregation created way different ways of speaking whereas in New York like New Yorkers just talk New York. Yeah, everybody in New York has a New York accent a New York accent Except for Staten Island. They got the craziest Except for Staten Island. That now is different, but they you know, we put them there for a reason You know how like they said like the wildest slaves of Jamaica remember like They couldn't handle like the slaves was just too much of a problem. I'll send them to Jamaica That's what we did make it hard to get there. You gotta get on the fucking fair You gotta go to Brooklyn before you even go there. We can't deal with these people anymore Make all the fire departments 15 fire department. You see them get mad at Pete for what bro is this dude named John tobacco This dude is the most Staten Island person you ever meet in your life slick back hair. Yeah, wild ass plaid suit He got mad at me because Pete was on SNL talking about this bar That wasn't following the state mandate. Yeah, the New York State mandate for COVID Yeah, he seems like we was there for you with your father when your father died We was there crying with you and your mom You need to come down off your little uppity high horse and you know come back down and kick it with the little people And I kind of almost feel like you know, the ignorance level is so high now That you have mega millionaires who are on the national spotlight like the folks on Saturday night live And instead of making fun of their friends and the local business owners who were broke and crushed and bankrupt Instead of coming down here as fellow Staten Islanders and standing up for them and bringing a positive light to this thing What they want to do is go on national TV and try to humiliate the little man when he's down and I'm like, yo The that plate whatever I don't know what you fucking call it whatever that is in Staten Island that area has the second highest COVID rate in New York state really close the fucking bar Like they like why are you upset cuz somebody's telling you the fucking truth and for you to compare it to being there Which somebody because their father died. Yeah, no Pete's calling you out. So you don't kill somebody else's father, right? Fuck is wrong with y'all, right? And also Pete made a movie about stat He never referred to people by his name. He just kept going the king of Staten Island You got to watch this dude. His name is Johnny tobacco. I'll check it And the shit is funny is I will be honest. They're the funniest people in New York Hands out really hands out in terms of like just hang out with somebody not in terms of like I'm not talking about like here's my scripted bit. Yeah. I'm talking about characters It's Staten Island or if you go to like deep Brooklyn Brownsville deep Brooklyn Bushwick also like way not Bushwick What am I thinking about? Connie Allen No, man, where the fuck Bensonhurst Bensonhurst deep in Brownsville. Yeah, well, I think it's different areas I think Benzner is close to water. Okay, I think Brownsville is like deeper into Brooklyn like by a cone like closer to Coney, right? Yeah, so but those people like just hanging out them the ball busting shit that they say the random like references to me Those are the funniest people. I mean a hundred percent. It's like when you go to like, you know There's certain neighborhoods where you go to when you meet somebody who is like too much from that neighborhood Yeah, you don't need someone who's like too Harlem He's like he's like he's almost like as soon as you make eye contact with him pause pause. Yo pause Yo, man, don't talk to men looking each other But like those people as silly it is they're the most hilarious to me Yeah, they are they are because they're characters. Yes without being characters. That's really who they are But they just take it to the extreme. I saw somebody post from New York. I don't know if it was it's biscuit They was like, yo, what's father in New York is it a mad for a dumb for? Like I don't have a father Mad people say I don't have a father This guy is so funny on Instagram, dude, what's the kid? What's the kid's name Ray something? Oh My god, I gotta I gotta talk about this do on the pot this guy his name is Ray, but like with Matt or a Like there's a bunch of wise out. Can you look that guy?

I read I'm an author and once again, I only want to create goes back to what we were talking about earlier. I only want to Create ventures that help me be able to assist and empower other people. Yep. That's it I also think it's great like when you have leverage in a I mean, but I've always tried to do as well as like when you have leverage within a business It's like you can partner up instead of just doing things, you know for someone I'm gonna be totally honest with you. It's wild to me. Um, except for Netflix I didn't really get a piece of that company but uh, but you're forging a relationship with them Absolutely, you know what I mean and you're forging a relationship with them to where I'm sure they're gonna want to create more content with you in the future Well, well, I would the way I look at is uh is also is like we created this Yeah, this is shot in shalt studios. This is produced by shalt studios. This is erected by alex man This is our baby, you know, so it was really it was really cool to like honestly. I gotta give them credit man like They were fully Hands off on this project. They should be clearly somebody up there was in tune That's the thing now. I I don't know if that's me Because I don't know what the relationship like a young comic that was just coming up would have because they'd be taking a much greater risk But you know, we put in a lot of work and creating content and creating you did 17 that you did 17 of these Right, exactly. So we proved the product, you know what I mean? Like you got analytics. You got data You got views. You got an audience. You got hype. You got Joe Rogan Put you know me like you come on like you think they're not paying a thing. They see what's going on Who the fuck is this Andrew shows person? Yeah. Yeah, no, I see it But I gotta give them credit man. I always give companies credit when like I remember when uh Who was it? Ricky Gervais did that golden globe speech and I was like, yo, you gotta big up The the exec that put their job on the line for this script Because he knew what the blow the blowback was gonna be and he was like the content is more important And I think it will work and that takes risk So any time a company is is willing to let us create and then deal with the fallout of that creation Jokes Hezzie being Hezzie? Everybody, when I say everybody, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Al, is there anybody that don't get these jokes? No, no, no, no, no. Bro, I'ma be honest with you. I'ma be honest with you. Every group gets these jokes. If Andrew doesn't get backlash, I'ma be upset. We'll see. I'ma be upset because that lets me know that, damn, Andrew, you didn't go, you weren't full showtie. This is what I would say. I would say, I think there's always gonna be people who find upset, but what we try to do with these pieces, my stand-up is a little bit more, is a little different than these pieces, right? Cause the stand-up gets to be like more absurd and like crazy and wild per se, right? Because you're not having to say truth with stand-up. You're saying the craziest, funniest take. And sometimes the funniest take could never exist in reality, but it is just the funniest spin on something. Like when Chris Rock is saying, we should just sell bullets. That's not like a real thing, but it's just a funny take, you know? I put the price on bullets, make bullets is what they spend. Sorry, sorry, yeah. Kind of, you know what I mean, but. And then it's like, so, but with this piece, we really try to stay within truth and really find the truth. And what I think is, if we did our job right, is that all the groups that we make fun of will be okay with the jokes, because the truth that we're getting at, I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm doing? I mean, it's a couple. Nah, it ain't gonna be bad. You know what era we live in. There's some wild shots, but there's a lot of them. But I think the truth is more important. And then what happens is, they'll be like, all right, well, they made fun of the other group too. And then everybody's getting it. That's what I was saying. You're using something called logic, Andrew. Yeah, you might be wrong. It's not gonna happen, but we'll find out. Hey, we're gonna find out. Listen, I'm putting out the thing I wanna put out. This is- That's what matters. That's all that matters to me. That's all that fucking matters. Like, I'm in control to creative and that's all I try to work on is to creative. Everything else after that, how motherfuckers, if y'all like it and y'all add it to your watch list and you say to remind you when it comes out and you spread the word, then it's gonna be successful and that's good, but to me, the success is creating the product I wanted to create. Nothing will piss you off more than going in these buildings and not creating the product you want, going out there listening to them. You're not doing you, you're doing them. That's really what it is. And that's what's actually changing in the industry. It used to be a time they love what you do, but they bring you in, they want you to be something totally different. So you're not doing them, you're doing you. That is what, that's what pisses you off when you go in there and do them and the shit ain't successful. You go in there and do you, whatever the outcome is, you feel good about it. Yeah, that's right. That's it, period. So I can't fucking wait. I still want you to do the other joint too, though. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If we gonna take it there, take it there, man. Oh, oh, trust me, sure. We're going there. Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte. Use that white privilege, God damn it, all right? We're going there. You're always a little wild, bro. I want to see people say he would never get away with this if he was black. Son. He would never get away with this if he was Latino. He would never get away with this if he was female. I want all of it. Honestly, I think we'd get away with it way easier if I was all those. Because white people can't be upset at black people for saying anything. Yeah, you're right. Oh, you dick of dare? What do you mean? You took a dare? What do you mean? On a special. Everybody, when I say Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte. I don't think you understand like. No stone left one turn. None. There are certain pictures in the special. You're going to hear a joke and then you're going to see a picture pop up and then you're going to pause your Netflix and go, is that what I'm thinking? Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro. You can't even believe something. No stone left one turn. That'd be a funny ass commercial. Andrew just turning over different color stones. That's a black stone. This is a white stone. Here's a pink stone. This one is this one. What is this? There might even be a rainbow colored stone there, Charlotte. A circumcised stone. There's a lot of different stones there, bro. A lot of different stones, bro. I can't fucking wait, man. What did that look? Listen, I don't know if this is the deep dive or not. I just, I saw everybody. Having the conversation about Casanova and they were saying something about what he said in a Vlad TV interview and in the paperwork. They didn't say Vlad interview per se. They just said it was some interviews that they used against Casanova. I want to take this out of Vlad because it's hard to have this conversation without people saying, oh, you know, you're defending Vlad, whatever, whatever. I'm not defending Vlad. I'm just speaking about pure journalism. I can ask you whatever I want. Yeah. You're not getting indicted based off what I asked you. As is what you responded with. Yes. You snitched on yourself. And I'm not even talking about Casanova in general. I'm just, I want to have a larger conversation about how for so long in our culture, we have incriminated ourselves in the wildest of ways. And the FBI isn't just watching Vlad TV interviews. They're watching Breakfast Club interviews. They're watching Adrienne Brunner's Instagram. They're watching your Instagram. They're watching your Facebook. You on Instagram with guns. Bro. You on Facebook, you know, fighting people. And there's so much criminal shit that goes on on social media. I get these people dark here all the time. I give donkey of the day to some up and coming rapper who made a song about scamming people with the PPP shit. And he was really doing PPP shit. Should you be mad at YouTube for letting him post the video? Is it YouTube's fault? Is it Instagram's fault if you get on your Instagram with guns? And the FBI is like, oh shit. You know what I'm saying? If you get on Twitter and you tweet, yeah man, just had to fucking kill somebody. You know what I mean? Is that Twitter's fault? Or is it the person who actually committed to act? And is saying it wherever they're saying it. Same thing in the music. We're watching music be used against people in court. We're watching interviews be used against people in court. Yo, how about we just stop incriminating ourselves? That's it. Like it's just that simple. You can't blame anybody. At some point you gotta have some accountability. I saw Pee Wee Longway. My man Chuck T posted it. I never watched it until last day, but I saw Pee Wee Longway on Vlad TV. Vlad is asking them questions. Vlad is like, so when did you first start hustling? He was like, hustling, I went to school. I ain't never did no hustling, I went to school. You know what I mean? And Vlad is like, yo, it's a lot of blue in your video. You know what I mean? You're crippling. He's like, no, I just like the color. That's what the, and how else are you supposed to answer that question? Like why would you sit up there and be like, yeah, I've been gang banging for 30 years. You know what I'm saying? The Cripsons elementary school and yada yada. You stop incriminating yourself, people. That's it. Don't be mad at this outlet. Don't be mad at that outlet. Cause trust me, they're watching all outlets. So it does not matter what that person is asking you. It matters what comes out of your mouth and how you respond. Simple as that. So I don't even understand the backlash. It's the same thing to me when I look at the Jermel situation. Like I understand people have a narrative. About black, you know what I'm saying? So being that they have that narrative, they want to stick to that, even if it makes them look stupid and illogical. Yeah, yeah, that's true. You know what I'm saying? It's stupid and illogical. These people are sitting in these interviews. They're on these records. They're giving up this shit. They're the ones saying all this stuff. They're incriminating themselves. But there's cloud attacks. We gotta stop doing that. We gotta stop giving people cloud for the worst shit. Well, that's up to us. That's the other part of it. We play, we have a responsibility too because we don't listen to the music until you say that you used to kill people or murder or whatever like that. You know, when it comes to that specific genre, like we don't care about the... I'm trying to think of other like, we care way more about the athlete. We want you to be real. Listen, I remember there was a time- But that real shit is bullshit, man. It is bullshit. Because it's not real. I don't even like that terminology. Me neither. You're only real if you shoot somebody. You know what I'm saying? It was a time where I wanted my rappers to actually do what they were rapping about. Even though I know if they actually did what they were rapping about, they would be in jail. Who's the top five? Give me your top five. Top five rappers of all time? Yeah, you have top six. I got a top seven. Sorry, top seven. My top seven rappers of all time, no particular order. Killer Mike, T.I., Skawface, Young GZ, Jay-Z, Nas. And I'm missing somebody. Killer Mike, T.I., Ghostface. Ghostface. None of these people are still doing the shit that they rapped about in the beginning. They made them popular. Matter of fact, for their entire rap careers, they've set aside those things that they rap about outside of Killer Mike. I don't think he was ever rapping about that in the first place. Nah, Killer Mike has always been socially conscious. So my point is that we were talking about this one flagrant, matter of fact, is Jay-Z, if you see Jay-Z in his element, he looks like the coolest person you've ever seen. He's calm, composed, nothing shakes him, even in the elevator, right? With the whole salon shit, nothing could shake, he's unflappable. And then you see him on the jet ski with the helmet and the vest looking like a goofball, right? You see him walking on the beach, he's a goofy, right? And then like, and I really believe that is because what is cool to us is dangerous. It's not give a fuck. It is essentially like pushing away conventional wisdom. Yeah, cause you know what you just said, you called Jay-Goofy, but that's regular. You're on a jet ski with a helmet on. I'm about to justify it. I'm about to justify it. So like, what is cool is all the things that actually don't give you a career, don't allow you to make money, and don't give you longevity. What I think Jay is, and I bet you all those other people we mentioned as well that you just mentioned have a little bit this in them, they're guys who are actually kind of silly, goofy, nerdy. I bet they're nerdy. They learned how to be cool to operate within a space, but it's their intelligence and their kind of nerdiness that allowed them to have this long career. I don't even think it's, and I get what you're saying. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't think it's nerdiness though. You know, maybe we're using different words. I guess what I'm trying to say is- I always don't like to say that cause I don't want to label things because people shy away from what they consider nerdiness. That's fair, but like, you consider yourself a nerd for Marvel, right? I consider myself a nerd for comedy. You know what I mean? Like, maybe the nerd word is such a bad connotation, but- Bro, a regular. Yeah, but it's almost like we're regular, but we're also able to look and see what is cool. I guess what I'm trying to say is especially like kids who like look up to these like, these like, oh, I don't give a fuck personality and that kind of stuff. It's like, you don't want to aspire to be that cause those people don't last ever. The people who last and they have the careers are the people that are smarter enough to see what works, lock into it, but also utilize that intellect to not get caught up in the clout chase that's gonna end you fucking dead or canceled. Yeah, you know what? I think the problem with rapping a lot of ways, a lot of the gangstership became performative, right? So, even though somebody like Jay-Z, T.I. It's like wokeness, T.I. It started out with the right thing, like we should be woke, we should be progressive and then it becomes performative to get attention. Well, sorta, I think guys like Jay-Z, T.I. were really reflecting their life's experiences. You know what I mean? Like those are things that actually they did, they went through that shit happened to them. But I think at some point, Gangster Rap became so popular that people just started doing it because it was profitable. You know what I mean? Like when 50 Cent, 50 Cent really did get shot nine times. Like that shit really happened. Like people act like he made that up. So it's now it's like, okay, let me do the most gangster shit because this gangster shit is in and I gotta have a gangster story to go along with my music. You know what I mean? When Chris Rock made CB4, that shit was very accurate, right? But I think the performative shit now has turned into people who really were doing it. But they still realized it's a lane for the performative shit. So even though they're not performing, they just think they can get on these platforms and really talk about this shit that they did because so many people have profited off of something they were really doing. If that makes sense, you know what I mean? Yeah, that looks like the lane to victory. That looks like the lane to victory. And if you really went through that, you get on these platforms, you're getting your songs and you talk about it, but you're not realizing like, bro, you ain't out the clear. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like you, you're not out the clear, bro. Like, and it's a weird thing about social media. People who act like social media is not like, real. Yeah. Like for you to actually be doing PPP scams. Unbelievable. Like the whole song about actually doing PPP scams. Unbelievable, yeah. It's wild to me to be in the video showing off the applications, all of applications that you fucking manipulated to get this money. Like that shit is wild to me. So once again, man, don't get mad at the interviewer. Don't get mad at the platform. Get mad at the person that's incriminating theyself. Yeah, it needs to be a little accountability, bro. It gotta be a lot of accountability. A lot of accountability. It gotta be a lot of accountability. And I'm not talking about Kaz in particular. I'm not talking about any, I'm talking about all of us collectively as a culture. This should have been going on for a long motherfucking time, bro. A long time. How many more people do we have to see the FBI? I said, yeah, I heard his song. Yeah, I heard him in the interview. Yeah, we saw him on social media. At what point do y'all motherfuckers be like the FBI is Facebook and Instagram? At what point do you fucking say that is the fucking thing that's fucking us up? Us getting on these platforms, acting like the shit that we do is legal. Acting like the shit that we did is legal. Hold yourself accountable, man. Do better, you. You. The show today, brilliant.

Can you imagine like being one of those like FBI dudes who had to listen to hours and hours of people's tap phone calls and then all of a sudden people just start snitching on themselves on Instagram? Bro, you know that's happening in those departments. You know with some old school FBI detectives like back in my day, we used to have to sit on these wiretaps for months, months and months and months, they would get burned or phones and we'd have to actually do surveillance. All y'all gotta do is go up on YouTube and pull up the latest song. They probably can't even believe it. Bro, back in the day with the New York mob in order for the wiretap in the car to work, they had to follow that car with another car because the technology couldn't go more than two blocks. Wow. So imagine you driving around after this Italian dude just listening to him in his stupid as mafia conversations all day. For fucking hours, months, just to get one or two words and then these dudes are literally giving you to highlight reel. They go on Vlad and they're just like, yeah, after I killed that person, I started doing this PP scam. It's like, what? Shouldn't even get paid. I don't know, man. It's really, really, really, really crazy, y'all. Like, I don't know. I just want people to stop doing it because it's really wild. Like you're really incriminating yourself. You know you're incriminating yourself. Stop blaming it on interviewers. Stop blaming it on other platforms. Stop blaming it on other outlets. And I really feel like a larger conversation is being missed here because everybody, people don't like Vlad. So being that they don't like Vlad, they just stuck on, oh Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad, Vlad. Um, no. Yeah, he's not forcing you to come on the show. You ask him to come on the show or he asks you and you agree, but it's not. And even if he asks you an incriminating question. Yeah. Don't answer it. Don't answer it. You're not getting paid. Your Pee Wee Longway shows you what to do. Same thing with Breakfast Club. If I, if I ask you some wild shit, don't answer. Yeah. But do though. Listen, listen, it's kind of fire, bro. Like when people incriminate themselves, that should as good concept. But I've stopped, you know what? I'm not gonna lie. I've edited a lot of shit out lately. Really? Yeah, cause you just don't want to see motherfuckers get jammed up over stupid shit. Interesting. You know what I mean? Are they ever upset or they ever like, yo, I came here to tell that story so that I could get clout. No, a lot. Like stop cutting that shit out. That's how you pop off, bro. You know what I mean? Like let's go. I'm gonna start, you know, I'm gonna start giving. You're kind of hurting Kareepa's careers, bro. I might be. I'm gonna start giving people benefit of the clout. Give them benefit of the clout. Give them benefit of the clout. Whatever, man. God bless. With my man, Kaz, though, man, I don't want to see Kaz get jammed up. Kaz is a good dude. You know, when I first met Kaz, you know, Kaz had the ankle bracelet on and he was like doing security. Just, just trying to figure it out. You know what I mean? Like that was his job. You know, when you on probation parole, you got to have a job and that was his job. So, you know, I just, I don't like to see him or anybody in that situation. That's gotta be a really tricky thing. I mean, I don't know what he's done or hasn't done or what he's accused of doing, but like that's gotta be a really tricky thing. Like when you're involved, allegedly, obviously, involved in like a criminal enterprise, but you also want to be a famous entertainer because those things go against themselves or go against each other. Yeah. Being in a criminal enterprise, you want to be as- Low key. Low key as possible. You want nobody to know nothing about you, but being in entertainment, especially a rapper, you want to be as high key as possible. Look at the jewelry. Look what's going on. Look at my lifestyle. Somebody needs to make like, you know how Biggie made the 10-CRAC Commandments? They need to have the 10-CRAC Commandments. Somebody needs to make some new Commandments. 10-CRAC Commandments, word up. Cause it's weird. Like, how you go from, the era I grew up in was like, yo, don't talk on the phone about doing nothing, right? Don't even talk on the phone. How you go from not talking on the phone to doing interviews and putting it in songs. It's just like, that's just weird to me. Like I'm not gonna lie, this whole shit is weird. And I'm telling y'all, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, all that shit is real life. The feds are on them shit, watching them shit. So all them guns y'all be posting in the fights, y'all. You know, video tape and show people assaulting people. All that shit is being used against people in courts of law, bro. All of it. So you can't point the finger at one person. Everybody's guilty. Everybody. If you've posted a video of a rapper holding automatic weapons, if you've posted a video on your page of rappers with a whole bunch of drugs around them, you're incriminating, well, that person's incriminating themself, but you're helping. So it's just like, leave it alone. Like we're all guilty. You can't point the finger at one person. Everybody's got a job to do, right? So whatever, man. One question. I haven't seen you since you interviewed Obama and I know you might have spoke about it. Oh, fuck, yeah. You're just like, just tell me how it's like. What was that like? Yeah, I'm so curious. Yeah, what was that like? Overrated. Really? Yeah. What? Wait, what do you mean? Yeah, like what was he cool? He gave you a little pushback. He gave you a little attitude. Nah, nah, it was cool. Nah, he did. I'm just like, that's what you did. That was trolling. It was cool. That's what he was talking about. That's what he was talking about. I was like, yo, get off Obama's dick. Like, nah, it was good. I mean, it was cool. It was a cool interview. He gave you one little sass. He gave you a little sass once. Oh yeah, he was like, that's why I got you. Yeah, I was just, I mean, I hate how Democrats message shit. You know what I mean? And it's just like, yo, Obama gets a lot of flack for what he did not do. But it's like, tell people why you couldn't get it done. Right. You know what I mean? And I think, you know, Democrats can, like I love what they did last week, but I don't think they followed up. Like they passed decriminalizing weed in the house. But it's not gonna get passed because the Senate isn't gonna do it. So everybody's reposting about, oh, the house passed decriminalizing weed and they're all happy and shit. But there's like, no, now, since you got everybody's attention, let everybody know, yo, but this shit ain't gonna pass because of the Senate. That's why y'all need to go in fucking Georgia and vote for John Ossoff and fucking Ralph Warnock. So it's just like, I hate that they don't understand messaging. And even in Barack Obama's book, he says that he has a hard time breaking things down in a way that is digestible for everybody. Because he's always, he's a politician. And that's what I got from Barack. I, you know, Barack is a great person. I just think that what he represents isn't actually what he is. So he represents a symbol of revolution because, you know, a black president in the United States of America in itself is revolutionary. Right. You know what I mean? Just based off the history of this country, everything that, the systemic racism in this country to see a black president is revolutionary, right? But he's a politician. He's a centrist, probably leans a little more conservative. Establishment. Politician. Politician. Yeah. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. And by the way, you need those. He's a great politician. Yeah. You need that. Just don't look for him like he said. He's not Malcolm X. Yeah. He's not Tamika Mallory, but that's why everybody plays a part. He said that during an interview. Everybody plays a role. You need a Tamika Mallory. Right. You need Barack Obama. You need all of that. You need people that are just constantly stirring it up everywhere. Let the radical stir it up in the street so they can make enough noise that we got people in position that are listening to say, look man, this is what we need to get done to calm that down. I always go back to the King and the Wilderness documentary when Lyndon B. Johnson, man, he called Martin Luther King Jr. And he goes, what the fuck is going on and watch? They are tearing watch the fuck up. He said, I gave y'all voting rights. I gave y'all civil rights. What's up? And Martin's like, they want that money. You know what I'm saying? It's about economics now. But the fact that Lyndon called Martin, that's what you need. So when Tamika and all of them are in the street doing what they do, somebody got to call, president got to be able to call somebody. You know what I mean? To be like, what do we need to do? Lyndon and Johnson sound like a husband whose wife is angry. I got you the ring. I got you the necklace. What more can I do? Is that not what you are when you're in that position though? Yeah. You're married to the game. To the game, yeah. You know what I'm saying? They work for us. We forget that. I never forgot that shit. I never forgot that shit. I never forgot that shit. They work for us. You know anything about work for me? I want you to work hard. That's right. So you should be making demands. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, it's the same thing. I mean, even with it was interesting when Obama did the whole defund the police thing because same thing with narratives, right? People have a narrative about you. So the narrative is Barack Obama don't really give a fuck about black people. You don't really relate to being black, yada, yada, yada. So of course he doesn't understand our play. If you listen to the whole four minutes, 50 seconds, he absolutely understands what the why of defunding the police is. The concept. Yeah, he's just talking about the branding. From a politician perspective, this shit ain't gonna work, bro. The only person I've ever seen answer that question perfectly was Kamala Harris. They asked Kamala Harris about defunding the police. She broke down. Why resources need to be taken away from police and allocated to the community, yada, yada, yada. And Megan McCain was like, I totally agree with you. But do you believe in defunding the police? And Kamala goes, define defund the police. What do you mean? Define what do you mean by defund the police? And I'm gonna tell you something else. Conservatives, Republicans, I was looking this up. Donald Trump defunded like 66 programs. Right? Probably more now, but the article I was reading at the time it was 66, right? When they defund, they actually abolish. So defund for them really means abolish. That's why they bucked back the way that they did. When they heard them say defund the police, they were like, we're not getting rid of police. Because whenever they cut budgets, that's what they don't even, they call it cutting budgets. Whenever they cut budgets, or they take money away from something, they're doing that because they know the program can't exist without that funding. So eventually the program goes away. Yeah, that's interesting. So defunding for them actually means abolish. So when they hear defund the police, they're like, we are not getting rid of the police. Y'all are motherfucking tripping. All the politicians should do is focus on the why. When guys like Barack Obama on TV and somebody brings up defunding the police, don't even, listen, break down why the defunding the police should happen without saying defund the police. Talk about how we need to allocate resources from police officers to reinvest in our communities. Like just say that. Yes, we need to reinvest in our communities. You know what I mean, keep it on the why. When you keep it on the why, nobody can disagree with it. I haven't heard one person disagree with the why. And if they disagree with the why, they're probably fucking racist because there's no way you could tell somebody we should not reinvest into these communities. We should not provide more opportunity. We should provide job training programs. You know what I'm saying? We should provide better mental health care services for people. We should provide better health care. We should provide better schools. Nobody is going to disagree with that. Does that agree with that, yeah. So why don't you, I mean, if you were smart branding wise, not you, but the people that are in control of these groups, they would change the branding from something that most people disagree with to something that most people agree with. Well, no, I think it worked for them. And I'll tell you why it worked for them because it keeps the conversation going. It does, but it works in the same way that like tweeting something woke works, is that like there's a lot of people who will support your thing, right? So you're like tapping into that highway like we were talking before, but when it actually starts to get to the point where you have to execute that thing, if you change any part of it, anybody who disagrees, none of those people that got your support are gonna be okay with it landing in the middle, right? Cause they are so extreme that they only want that one thing. When in the reality is if you start in the middle, the ascension is gonna be way slower, right? Because less people are gonna gravitate to it in the same way that they would if you just hop on the highway. But the long-term effects of this is you actually get the thing done. It's really no different than like Barack Obama policy and like Trump policy. No, no, no, the Obama KO Affordable Care Act discussion. So it's like Trump, all the thing, not all, but a lot of things that he did, he did through executive orders, right? And you don't need any politics to do that. You just sign it. The problem with executive orders is the next president comes in and he writes in executive order that you're executive order. Barack wrote more executive order than Trump though. But my point is that doesn't matter. Like Barack, when he put in Obamacare, he implanted that in our political system. It is so interwoven that Trump still couldn't take down the whole thing, right? Because he actually used politics to get it done. And our system, it is very difficult to get things done but when they're done, they're locked and it's hard to get them unlocked. So the same thing with the movement. It's like, if you start the movement in a place and you really tie and interweave, I guess I'm talking, interweave all these different sides and political factions into the support of it, it is gonna be hard to tear that apart. But if you just get a little blip over here that's like, deep on the police, I think Minnesota did it. And then all of a sudden Minnesota's having all this like stuff where they're having to bring out outside police forces to help them with crime that they're experiencing. I'm just saying like, if you over correct, if you have that immediate knee-jerk reaction, if you have that overcorrection, you're always gonna come back. Yeah, I just like it because it gets the conversation started but I just think that the people who actually can change the system have to know how to have the conversation. You know what I mean? And if the activists on the ground are saying to fund the police, which is causing people on mainstream TV shows to ask these mainstream politicians about it, be like Senator Harris. Know how to answer the fucking question. You know what I mean? Talk about how resources do need to be reinvested into black and brown communities. You know what I mean? Don't get into a back and forth about the fucking slogan because you know what it sounds like? When you say things like, I don't agree with the fund the police. You're talking about the slogan. People think you're talking about the actual why. Oh, you don't agree with reinvesting in the black and brown communities? Like that's a pointless fucking conversation. Even call out the slogan. Like, you know what? The slogan is incredibly misleading. So if I say here, I agree with defunding the police. All the people who think they know what that means are going to be like, how the fuck could you want to defund the police? This is what it means. And I agree with that. I just hate the name because it's so polarizing. And I want this to be something everybody supports. Police support this. Let's do some more. Ask an idiot. Yeah. Can you make a relationship work if your family hates your partner? Can you make a relationship work if your family hates your partner? Yes. Oh, I'm sorry. I really just blacked out. I thought you was like, damn, thinking about your own relationship. Like, I was like, you was thinking, how should I answer this? No, no, I just blacked out. Yeah, of course. I mean, if you love that person, you're married to her, you know, or they're married to you. And yeah, absolutely. That person is married to your family? Exactly. I think it's in your family's best interest to like love that person and try to get on board of you. Truly love them. They make you happy. That's right. Because I'm going to stop fucking with you. Exactly. This person is going to be like the mother of my children. And that's who I'm sleeping with every night. That's who I'm in love with. That's what I plan to spend the rest of my life with. Love your family. But y'all don't want to fuck with her. I ain't fucking with y'all. Simple as that. Well, they have a good reason, though. What's the good reason? What if the man, like, you know, has an aggression problem? What if he beats in her? Y'all don't know anything about it. Well, that's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, you ain't saying that. You're talking about illegal activity. And you didn't say that. You're asking me quite. Y'all just saying it like. And you're like, yo, what you should say? Yo, can your family love your partner if your partner beats your ass every day? Yeah, no, no. Get out of that. You shouldn't love that person. We're just talking about, like. He cheats. And he just does. Black men don't cheat. What are you talking about cheating? Because it's cheating shit. All right. So who cheats? Yeah, go to Fastass. PM.dev. You're going to forget that S, bro. And it's going to be World War II. You better stop. What? I said, Fatass? I didn't say that. I said, Fastass. I said, he's going to forget the S. And it's going to be World War III. I'm on your side. Yo, come on, girl. Charlotte wants to be thick like me so bad. I'm thickin' you. Yo, hold up. First of all, I'm thickin' you. You're not thickin' me. Charlotte, you're kind of a fast young boy, bro. I'm thickin' you, yo. You're a fast young boy, Charlotte. Don't make me stand up, yo. I'm thickin' you, yo. Hey, you just short. Hit that new Meghan move. Hit that new Meghan move. Nah, these jeans will pop. I ain't learned the new Meghan move yet, but that shit she was doing, that shit was like, was that Dora that was doing that dance? Dora? Who's the cartoon meme that they always use? Y'all know the show's about the girl with the glasses and the hair, and she's doing this shit? Oh, I don't know her name. Man, Meghan was doing that shit with her ass. I don't remember that. That shit was wow. That last one, where you squish it like that? I've done it, but don't do it. I've done it before. Nah, you ain't never done that, yo. You ain't never done that, too. You never saw that before in your life. There's no, you cannot do that. You cannot do that. Anyway. That's how you snatch off the rubbers right there. That move with that last little twist at the beginning, yo. That shit is all-star weekend approved. Listen, since you got no black jeans, and I got no black jeans, let's take a picture from the back. And see who does it better. No, send it to your boyfriend. Say which one is me. Yo, let's do that. That's fire. You're going to get humbled today. You're going to get humbled the fucking day, Taylor. Let's go. This is so fun. All right, you sit there. You're going to get humbled today. Come on, let's do it. OK, so, Pia. Honestly, honestly, don't make me get in there. Shit. Yeah, man, I'm out here. I'm more of a long distance running kind of girl, but. You definitely are more of a long distance. It's not that fast. Ready? PM.Jefferson, though, what are some of your real life superpowers? Real life superpowers? I think mine is patience. I have really good patience. I mean, not just even in life, but just in general. With people and everything, I got patience. I might be a little too patient, actually. Don't get me wrong, I'll get my shit off and I'll vent. You know what I mean? But I will vent several times about something before I either decide to confront it or I might even come to the conclusion I don't want to even confront it at all. Back away from it. So I think for me, it's patience. Patience is a superpower. I think a lot of motherfuckers now get fucked up because of a lack of patience. That's what we're talking about now. Like just running the social media with shit. You know what I'm saying? Just running the Twitter with shit. Like just be patient. Like give yourself a beat. Take a break. Take a breath. Yeah, start playing the seeds. All your motherfuckers getting caught up in PPP loans. You weren't patient. You'd have got to that million at one day. That $100,000. You know what I'm saying? You'd have got to that one day if you just be patient. Yeah, do the work. Yeah, I would say for me, problem solving. I actually, I look forward to it. I kind of flourish in those environments. You know, like if there's some sort of chaos or some sort of problem or some sort of issue, I think that I have an elite ability to like handle that issue and like work around it and find ways to get around it. And that's really helped me in my career. It's really helped me in life. I feel like when you welcome challenges and problems and you get excited by them, you start to feel like things work out for you. But the reality is, is like you're not crumbling under the pressure of problems. You're using those problems to succeed on a different level. So for me, it's, yeah, it's like problem solving. Yeah, that's a great, great superpower. I want to live, I want to learn to live without conflict. I'm so used to like. Thriving in conflict. You love it. I don't know if I love it. You're going to be the guy fighting in the old people home. I don't know. I already know you, I know you. No, I don't know why I got to stop. I've always been like that. I like, I like, I just got it. It's something got to be going on, you know what I mean? But I'm at the point in my life where I don't want conflict, but it's still always conflict. And something, and nowadays it's not even me. It's just other people got so much shit going on. You know what I mean? Whether it's family shit or friend shit. Everybody always got some shit going on. It's just now like the stakes are bigger. It's not like being in school, where it's just like, you know, you'll pull the wire along. It's my reputation on the line. Yeah, you know what I mean? Now, but now it was real shit. Like dealing with people who got drug abuse problems. Like, you know what I mean? Shit like that. So it's just like, it is always some conflict going on. And you just at the point were like, man, I don't want this shit. But no, I take that back. The shit that you, that's out of your control, you got to deal with. But there's other conflict that you may just cause on yourself. Like I just like, I'm fucking with Nila this morning for no reason. What are you doing? For no reason. This is like for no reason. I called him a nut ass bull. And then he was like, what do you think? I said, I say, when you from Philly and you call somebody that's name starts with N, nut ass, it hits difference. Like, nut ass, Nick, nut ass, Nancy. So I'm like, nut ass, Nila. So I'm like, oh shit, Taylor, let's just put in the group chat, nut ass, Nila, SMH, right? Just for no reason, right? So she's freaking out. I haven't even figured out the whole plan. So I put nut ass, Nila, shake in my head. Taylor puts nut ass, Nila, shake in my head. Taylor goes, I mean, Nila's right. What the fuck are y'all talking about? What the hell's going on? I'm like, check Twitter. Right? I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, check this. So she calls me. I'm like, yo, somebody leak your nudes on Twitter. Yo, you got some nudes from shit on Twitter. Yo, they saying it's you. She's like, what? So I'm like, yo, you need to go check. So I hang up the phone. So I just put it in the group chat. I mean, Nila's nudes on Twitter, y'all. And so she goes, send receipts. So this the picture I sent. Because I'm not lying, right? You wasn't lying. I'm not lying. This the picture I sent. That's Nila from the Lion King, right? So she's naked, right? So I'm not lying, Nila's nudes on Twitter. Now, mind you, Nila's like, I'm sitting here talking to my mom. I break out in a cold sweat. I got to get up and leave the table. She's like, my mom's like, oh, that's Charlotte. Let me talk to Charlotte. She's like, no, not right now. I'm like, why did I do, why did I fuck with her like that? Why? You're bored. You be bored. What's the reason? Bro, you're fast, bro. Give us one more, let's get the fuck out of here. Yo, you're crazy. You're crazy. Yeah, I'm too. Every morning, he says something. CLTPD wants to know if you could travel to any past decade, which would you travel to and why? The 90s and let them know what the fuck is coming, boy. Like, this shit, yo, I'm letting y'all know right now, all this classic shit y'all doing is amazing now. But in 20 years, they gonna get y'all to fuck out of here for this shit, all right? Wait, hold on, wait, wait, wait. So based off that one, then, what do you fear most, or do you fear most about the pandemic life? Nothing. You don't fear anything? Pandemic has been great, honestly, even through everything. I wouldn't change. No, I mean, it's hard to say you wouldn't change things, but then that would be being selfish, because you don't know why people made the decisions that they made, you know what I'm saying? So yes, I had two friends coming to suicide this year, Jazz, my man Shaq, but who am I to tell them what decision and choice they made? Do I agree with it? Do I wish it wouldn't have happened? Of course I do, you know what I mean? But you can't be a person of faith, you can't be a person that believes in a higher power and not take the so-called good with the so-called bad. When I lived that way, when I say that I don't believe in good or bad, I just believe in everything being part of the process, I truly mean that, because I've never seen anything be wasted. Life is like a pig, bro. I don't eat pork, but motherfuckers use every part of that shit for real, like every single thing that has happened in your life ultimately serves a greater purpose. You may not even realize that shit till 10 years from now, 20 years from now. If you make the decisions and look at it that way. I think that's a perception value right there. We were talking about that other day, Shaq, before you, about death and everything, and what things are gonna happen, right? And they're gonna happen whether you think they're good or bad, right? Like death, whether that's good or bad depends on which side of the war you're on, right? If someone dies on the other side, you're like, I guess we'll win in the war. If someone dies on your side, it's like, oh my God, this is a tragedy. So, but death is gonna happen. Perception is what we make of it. And I don't know, that's the thing. I guess even back to like the problem solving stuff is like, even with this, even with the Netflix thing, it's like, I stopped being able to go on tour. This is what I do for a living. This is how I make money, provide for myself. I could literally go, all right, I guess I'm just gonna wait until comedy comes back and chill. Or I pivot, I find a new way where I could get something out of it. And then instead of hating the pandemic for ruining my life, I'll turn that moment into something that will take my life to the next level. And I think that- Ooh, stay on that for a second. Just think about it, right? You probably have mass shows lined up. You're looking at your calendar, adding up how much money you missed. You're like, fuck, some motherfuckers are wallowing self-pity. You was like, nah, fuck that, I'ma create. I'm just gonna create. That's what Javi used to always say, that create something. Javi used to say that shit so much. Whenever it was something fucked up going on, Javi would be like, yo, create something. Create something, create something. Where's that video out? This I said, the beginning of fucking, the beginning of COVID is so crazy. There's a girl posted. What you created, right? That's the thing. And now- Look at this, this is crazy. I bet you that Netflix special? You cannot change the way that you react to it, okay? This is it, ready? You cannot change the situation, change the way that you react to it, okay? Shots of Duvall, man. He put that in my head. You can't change the situation. There's nothing we can do that's gonna change it. If you get quarantined, you get quarantined. How are you gonna use that fucking time? Create, create, create, create. Put out some dope shit. You have the internet, they're not taking away your internet, not taking away your electricity, not taking away your food, not taking away your water. They're basically putting you in creative jail. And sometimes when you are forced, right, to create, or you have absolutely nothing to do, you get the most creative. My best idea is when I'm in the shower or when I'm on a plane with no internet, I got no distraction. I'm just sitting there, right? That's how I know that there's been no internet on a plane when we get off the plane and Al has three ideas for me. Yeah. Right? I was thinking, why don't we do that? That's what's gonna happen to you. So we could look at this like some doomsday shit or we could look at this like, oh my God, I'm gonna create my masterpiece. Create something, man. And the ill part about what you created, I guarantee you that Netflix special probably paid you everything you lost in, not even lost, everything you didn't get in show money. We did all right. Hey. We did all right. I didn't do it for the money to be honest, it was just, it was a good opportunity. It was a great opportunity, man. Create something, man. I was a jazz player, you always say create something. And that's why even through this pandemic, I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna set up everything for the next 10 years. That's literally how I'm looking at it. I'm a podcast network, book in print. The vertical me and Kevin launched at Audible. Yeah, amazing. I'm a sign on the breakfast club for the next five years because this is a platform that enables me to continue to empower other people. You know what I mean? It's something that's bigger than me. Like this is the people's platform. You know what I mean? I got my dude Shaka on the day trying to get a kidney. Trying to get a kidney transplant, you know what I mean? Because he needs a kidney transplant, but I know he's going to get it because I've used radio for that before. You understand what I'm saying? So it's just like, this is what I love to do. So I'm just setting up for the next decade. That's literally what I'm doing. I'm setting up for the next decade. Create something, man. Go build something, man. I love that. That's it. I love that, man. That's it, Taylor Gang? Take us out of here, Sharla. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. If you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're wrong, but we're going to let you think you're right because you always got to appear dumb in your mark. Play a sucker to catch a sucker. I don't. Have a blessed evening.
