Big heaviest here, of course. What's up, baby? Trampolactis is here. Oh, my God. Trampolactis. Wax. Yeah. It was. I saw his title for last week's episode. You never heard of Galactus? No. Galactus is... Oh, the... He's a villain in the Marvel universe. He goes around devouring planets. Yeah. Yeah. That's what wax does to women. He goes around devouring women, ruining lives. That's not true. And so he's trampolactis. Now he's ruined his own life. Don't tell him nothing. That's what... Yeah. Now you're on your own life, bro. If you go through something, if you praying and you paying your tithes and offerings, whatever I go through is all God gonna bless me anyway, so I... I can't wait till you meet God. I can't wait till you meet God. I can't wait. You think I've been calling somebody all this years? So he can tell you how stupid your logic is, bro. Did you really believe that dumb shit? What are you talking about? He's gonna sit down and he's gonna go, did you really believe all that dumb shit? Talk to him then. You think a couple of tithes makes it okay? Yes. I'm paying tithes and I'm treating God in vented tithes. You think that he wants detergent? God don't care about detergent. Clean your life, bro. Not your clothes. When I pay my tithes and offerings, that's for my financials and I pray to God and I ask God to always bless me and guide me. So whatever happens right there... He's not guiding you right now. Why he not guiding me? He's not guiding you right now. That was not a godly decision. I think that was. No. I felt it in my heart. Anything I feel in my heart, I just go ahead and do it. You did not feel in your heart. That was your ego. Your ego was wounded. Let's do it hard. My ego got hit by my heart. No. That was the wife. Made perfect sisterhood. Yeah. That voice you hear is our guy, Steelo Brim. Yeah. You know a guy that's made about 35, 40 million sitting on the couch. At least. Sitting on the couch. I'm broke, man. I'm broke, man. I'm broke. Steelo Brim. I'm broke, man. Hold on, man. Steelo, you don't make some m's off ridiculousness. Cut it out. Some m's? Yes, yes. Yes, blesses. 40? I'd be a bad business man if I ain't make no m's. Yes. But not 40. 40's. God bless. Rob Durden. 40's sounds crazy. How are you, though, brother? I'm doing really well, man. I'm doing really well. Good to see you, man. What you doing in New York? I was there filming a movie. Really? Yeah, yeah. A little Netflix film. I finished it up and then just been doing press, man. Popping around. What's the Netflix film? Why can't you talk about it? I don't even know. I mean, they announced it. But I don't know if I have announced it. I was in it. So, I don't know. It's a love film, though. Which one? Can't talk about it? I don't know. Have they announced it already? He's talking about that shit. Dope. La La's in it? Yeah, it's all good. Keith Power starts in it. Dope. Congratulations, man. Thank you, man. Well, listen, Steelo got to get in where he fit in, because we got a lot to talk about this week. Let's do it. Yeah, let's go. That's a La La, bro. Salute the La La. She's working out again, bro. Man, stop, man. She does, dude. It's crazy, bro. No, it's just crazy, dude. She was in that film that I did and I saw it and I was just like, that's fucking stupid. La La is a beautiful woman. That's the homie right there. No, she's also beautiful. She also has that other part. La La is literally one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life. This is a human. That is also true. Yeah. That's also true. Two things can be true. I hear everything you're saying and kind, compassionate, empathetic, like a beautiful person, but also she has some retarded shit that's falling off the back of her ass. By the way, she would take that as a compliment. She would. No, she absolutely would. She would. 100%. Nah, she would. People will forget I used to be on La La's reality show back in the day. I remember. That went on a date or something, didn't you? No, not me. La La. Nah, didn't you guys go on a date on the show? No. It was like a fake date. No, no. That was when I did SWV's reality show. It really went on. La La the homies. I used to be around La La all the time. You know what I mean? I just was always on the show. I was one of her lesbian friends. Listen, for real it was me. Basically. Dice. Miss Patrick. Salute the poet. Dice. Listen. Positively brilliant. What a fucking idiot, man. We have to talk about this backlash. I don't even know if shit be backlash anymore. I just think it just be a couple of people on social media who be having a difference of opinion and they just be mad about certain things and everybody acts like what they say is so true. Why are people mad about what Kim Kardashian said? She said work hard? Yeah. Yeah. Why are people mad? What am I missing? Why would you not be mad about what she said? Why would you be mad? Because they come from, you know, it's the wrong messenger. It's not the wrong message. No. It's like working hard. No. It's for everybody. So you won't talk to a drunk pastor? No. It's more about the actual messenger and them coming from a family of hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars and telling people y'all need to work hard. They didn't come from a family of hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. They did. 100 million before they ever got there. But her dad was Robert Kardashian's lawyer. And he also had M's as well. He had M's. But Kim has surpassed all of them financially. She has. But also you had that money base to actually work off of to get there quicker. But you know what happens to people? No. She wasn't in their field? No. I mean she had looked. They had advantages. Everybody is going to have advantages. Yes. 100 percent. But what's that got to do with what she said? No, no. Exactly. She's right. I think what Steele is saying is like it's just maybe the wrong messenger. Why? Because she didn't build her. No. I'm going to tell you what I respect what Steele is saying. This is what I wish everybody would say. Just say you don't like Kim Kardashian. You don't like Kim? No, I like him. I ain't got no problem with Kim in her family. But you just said it's the messenger. It's the messenger. So it's not the message. If it came from Rihanna you'd be like oh she came from Barbados. She a billionaire now. She came from Memphis. You know who got a wagon bro? Okay. I don't know how we got back here. Bruce got a wagon. Really? Stupid. Wow. Really? Bruce Jenner got a wagon. Well now Katelyn. Katelyn Jenner got a wagon. Really? Okay. That's why. I don't want to get sidetracked but I need to see. No, you got to pull it up bro. That's why he crashed the car. There's no way he got a wagon. Don't even move. You can't sit down to see normal. He must have got that after track. Because you can't have a wagon when you're doing track. You would pick up that picture jealous. Y'all pick up that picture. Y'all know let's see. You know what I mean? Just because you're not writing what. Katelyn got a wagon. Katelyn got a wagon. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that one in the white. Look at that one in the white. Men in the BPLs too? She got the white woman wagon. Nah. Nah. Nah. Come on. Nah. The WWW. I don't see no wagon. The BW. I don't see no wagon. I don't see no wagon. You don't understand like when I see all the rich kids they usually peel heads. They got everything given to them. So them not the ones that you expect to go ahead and do things. Yeah. No. For sure. But you also some rich dude came to you and told you. Some dude you knew was just like, man, you know why you ain't making it right now? You just ain't working hard. I'm going to listen because you're rich. I'm going to listen. Nah. You might tell like, yo, let me talk to your dad or whoever gave you that look. That's not true though. You got to tell him. Kim works though. That's right. I'm not saying Kim does not work hard and that she's not actually good at what she does. I'm saying that from this family, the history they have and how they got there. Actually documented us watching them in the full time. 20 years. It's hard. We watched them make a billion dollars. We did watch them make a billion dollars, but it's still hard for you to listen to Kim Kardashian. It's not hard. No. It's not Rob. Now Rob said that and probably below this. Exactly. If it's so easy for them to make money, what's up with Rob? I mean, how many billionaires we got in the family now? Like two. Two. Yeah. I don't know if it's just straight hard work. That's all I'm saying. I'm saying it's the message. Well, Rob ain't do it then. But all she, listen, let's play the clip. Let's play the clip. Can we play the clip? I have the best advice for women in business. Get your fucking ass up and work. There you go. It seems like nobody wants to work these days. That's so true. You have to surround yourself with people that want to work. Have a good work environment where everyone loves what they do because you have one life. No toxic work environments. And show up and do the work. If you're the smartest. What does she say wrong? Everybody put it in question. She said you think you're wrong. Yes, they're acting like what she said was actually wrong. You can end it now, Taylor. They're acting like what she said was actually wrong. Here's the thing about work, too. A construction worker's work is going to look different than the work an attorney does in his office throughout the day. A person in the military that's working, their work is going to look different than the work a college student is putting in. There's people that are right now digging actual graves for a living who's looking at us and don't think none of this is work. They think what we do is not work. I don't think this shit works. I'll do nothing. We're just talking to our guys. I only know what I'm saying. I say this. I come home exhausted from what? From hanging with your boys. That's what works to you. That's not the lights. You sit down all day. The lights are hot. You don't get it. We know somebody that works in radio right now, their wife is a nurse. Whenever the wife gets mad the wife says, all you do is push buttons all day. I actually worked. Work is different for everybody. With Kim, that's Kim's field. For her field, she outworks everybody. And that's why she's in the position that she's in. Yeah, I'll give her that. I just think that a lot of people chalk up her success of sucking Ray J's dick good. And then when you don't add that into the equation, I think a lot of people will go, hey, you're missing out a big part because you've built this career off of fame and that is what catapulted you into superstars. How many girls got sex tapes? There's a bunch of women out here with sex tapes. Yeah, but they just ain't made a billion, though. Why not? I mean, I would say it wasn't worth a billion, though. That's what I'm saying. So what does she have to do after this? So what does she have to do after sex tape? She had to do a whole bunch of work. Again, I'm not saying it's just all of them. Did you just say she worked? No, she worked. I said she worked. I think the frustration, it's not about whether she works or not. The frustration is just it feels to the average person. I think the average person is potentially hating on this, especially girls, because I imagine there's a lot of pushback from women. It's like, man, I could do that if I just sucked it. Which a lot of them couldn't. They suck in the dick. A lot of them couldn't. That's not true. You still got to put in the work after sucking the dick. Yes, that's true. You got to get through it. There's guys out here that suck dick, too. Boo. Because in the industry, they say, if you suck some dick, you get to the top. And some of them got to the top. Not really. Not without the work. No, not without the work. You got to have work. You got to have work. Come here, Nile. Come here, come here, come here, come here. What'd you say? Go right there, Nile. It's Nile Simone, NYLA, big work ethic. Big work ethic, Nile. Go, go, go. No, I don't feel like y'all should have even brought up the sex tape because I got nothing to do with the message that she's been given. Like, what I don't like is that men always bring up a woman's sexual history or sexual past when it comes to some shit that has nothing to do with anything. Like, it's like a bad grid on your report card. She has an A plus. You got to fucking 4.0 GPA. She's a billionaire, but you over here talking about she sucked it. Let the record show, though. Let the record show a lot of women came at her yesterday with that. A lot of women were coming at her saying, yeah, but you came up with the sex tape. We don't care. Men don't care about Kim Kardashian ever. No, he brought up what people were saying. Yeah, the negative reaction, the backlash is coming from women on the internet. It's not good for dudes. All I saw was women coming at her. Yeah, we don't care. I just think it's the representation. It's the person. But the sex thing is important because if her career is based on the currency of clout, right? I don't want to be reductive, but if it's based on the currency of clout and fame for fame's sake, that is the thing that catapulted her into superstardom. So to cut that out of her success matrix is kind of unfair. It's not like it's a stain on your report card in high school. It's like, yo, that was your rookie year. You're the all-star. It's just part of the resume. It is part of the resume. Because of her line of work, because she's a reality show star, like Andrew said, because clout and fame is really what she's famous for, it was part of that. That was the spark that got her popular. It was a part of it. But she's in like, she's already in the LA network scene. Like she worked with Paris Hudson. She dated a lot of people in our culture. So I think one way or other, it would have happened. I don't think so. Not like that. Y'all act like this happens all the time. The Kardashians have built a dynasty over 20. Years. With a lot of gimmicks. With a lot of dynasty because of that tape. I agree with that. I agree with you. So what do you say about Steatman? And maybe some people are overestimating how big a part it plays, but to act like we shouldn't even include in the conversation, I think, is unfair. It's like an internship. Like you have to, if you talk about like somebody like Diddy, you have to talk about the time that he worked at Uptown Records as an intern. You have to. Yes. Yeah. You have to. And regardless of what Steatman do, he still is Oprah's man. OK, so first, you guys all on the chair right now. When people talk about, yeah, accolades, like, oh, you just got the Black Effect podcast network. You got number one morning show. People aren't going like, oh, but you remember Shralamaine used to date this person. Or we see them on the red carpet with like nobody. I ain't dating nobody famous. Yeah. And I don't have a poppin' sex tape. Now I could have had a poppin' sex tape early on in my career. That's it with this. OK. That's OK. OK. I could have recorded that. OK. Talk to Shralamaine. I have pain. I have trouble behind this shit. You hear me? You got trouble. All right. I have trouble behind this shit. That's all I'm talking about. Speak on it, bro. Please don't do that. Hey, speak on it, bro. Save us all. Save us all. Yo, I'm only laughing. I'm only laughing to hide the pain. That's what I'm saying. You're going to cry. All right. Yo, let's talk about it, man. Let's get it off your chest. No, it's never. Come on, bro. First of all, don't be a whole crying session, though. It's worth too much money. Why would I ever do that? Why would I ever do that here? Time and place for everything. OK, OK, OK. So when you have your Netflix documentary, like the Kanye shit, you're going to let it go? Right. That's what I'm talking about. I got the tears ready. It's going to be those tears that come before I even say anything. The trembling lip. Man. What? It's kind of a commercial. It's kind of a commercial. I need a moment. But, Stilo, you've been in LA for a long time. How many people have you seen just hanging around that don't turn into billionaires? For years. A lot. I mean, a whole bunch of people. I mean, I don't think it's easy to become a billionaire. Again, I just think it's the messenger. I think it's like when Amber Rose went out for the slut walk. Nothing against Amber Rose. People, you know, what Amber Rose was speaking about was all facts, you know what I'm saying? It's like, oh, we want to protect women. We want to protect sex workers. But people had a problem digesting that Amber Rose was the spokesperson for the slut walk in women in general. So I think it's just people don't want to hear Kim Kardashian really. I went over doing the slut walk thing. I'd rather her to do it than Oprah. Because I don't know if Oprah got the experience. That's what I'm saying. So I'd rather her to be the one to do it. The Amber Rose talk back. Amber's speaking from experience. I don't know if Oprah. I'd rather her to not do it. Yeah, but experience is still hers standing up here and protecting women. I disagree, man. You should have experienced the right thing. I think it's women who want to do it. I disagree, yo. That's why I always say this era would never let Malcolm Little become Malcolm X. Because who else to speak about changing their life and evolving than somebody who actually did it? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't want to hear it. I want T.I. to go talk to the kids and tell them how to stay out of jail. I want Gucci man to go talk to the kids and tell them how to stay out of jail. That's why I like drunk passes and passes that have been crackheads because they actually really went through it. They're going to tell you to actually rock. They've been saved. They've been saved for it. They know the power of God. Is that like a requirement? Like, yo, a pastor got to be a crackhead? A pastor doesn't have to be a crackhead, but I want him to have to go through something, at least a divorce or something. You got to know him before joining the church? Maybe not. I mean, I always go for the message at the end of the day. But I know where that message came from. You know what I'm saying? It's different. Wax is right. I don't need my people to have to have some type of trauma, have to have some type of struggle. But if I've seen them overcome it, yeah, why wouldn't I listen to that individual? And I've never really got caught up in, you know, messenger. I don't listen to the message because of the messenger. If somebody said some good shit, I'm just taking the good shit. Oh, especially with money is like, game gets passed down. Yes. You know, so if it's like, if some families have money for hundreds of years, you might want to talk to them and see why they still got money. Yeah. Because all I see is a family whose generations keep getting wealthier and wealthier. Yeah. Rob Kardashian was an attorney, right? Nobody in the family went into the law field, right? Well, they came a little bit. Came a little bit now, right? And then Bruce Jenner came. None of them were athletes. So they took a whole different route and got popping. But even outside of Kim, I just want to know, what did she say wrong? Because if the only thing you can tell me that it's the messenger, she's saying the wrong. That's silly. It's like when a white dude offers advice for black people. Even if the shit is right, it's like, why are you telling black people what they should do? Well, it depends what they say. What do you mean, example? What they say? Yeah, I know what they say. Work hard! Work hard, yeah. Yeah, the same shit. It's the same shit. It's the same shit. It is the same shit. It's the same shit. You know it is. You know it's the same shit. It's actually the same shit. But no, it's actually the white lab. No, no, no. It's actually worse. And the pushback would be worse because then they'd bring, we start, we'll bring up all the systemic racism. Yeah, it is. And systemic oppression that has kept us from, you know, growing and prospering. You have to pull them up by the bootstraps. Like, listen, at the end of the day, everybody has to work. But there's always going to be challenges for certain communities. I don't want a year tell you to work hard. Mm-hmm. You know, if you can, if Callan can tell you, why wouldn't you listen? But you kind of know how to joke. Nobody buys in. They're not doing an interview with like the actual score and did you hear the music behind them? It was so serious. It actually made it worse. Callan's doing that. Dance is being like, you know, exactly. Like nobody's taking the serious. Callan performs way worse than they did. We're not taking the serious. Callan slips champs, people. Callan be like, you drooling on your pillow. I bet you drooling on your pillow right now while I'm doing the work. What about that commercial? That commercial, like, get a body of seat, go to college? That college commercial? Yeah. Callan got an elliptical machine for three years, sweating his ass off. Little Wayne watches sponsorship, telling y'all to work hard. She lose a pound. That is true. And y'all got motivated. And nobody pushed back on Callan, not once. Keys. So who do we need to motivate us? Diddy. And Diddy's another one. Diddy said, you don't work, you don't eat. Yeah. Period. But it all depends on where you come from. Like I said, I don't mind a crackhead telling me. You know what I'm saying? Like, I had a pastor. Telling us what now? Let's be specific. I'm just saying, like, he told me to go to college. I shouldn't be out there selling drugs. I had a pastor in the house, my father. I had a sergeant in the house, my brother. You see what I'm saying? Add context to the crackhead thing, though, because the reason you listened to the crackhead because he was a crackhead and he was telling you how not to end up like him. Exactly what I'm saying. I'm looking at his actual thing. I'm like, if he telling me not to go that way, I shouldn't listen to him. But my brother and I'm telling him, like, don't do crackhead. Don't be out here selling drugs and stuff like that. I'm like, I hear you. But I want to go try my own experience. My experience was this man right here. And I seen, I was like, I do not want to be that. Okay, you're right. I'm listening to you. It all depends on who it is. What situation you in? Yeah, I'm just... I don't think she said anything wrong. No, I mean... No, she didn't. Not at all. And it's just... And what's fucked it up, when you shoot down the messenger, you're actually shooting down the message in this situation. You don't know who's God. Because the message should be upheld. The message of, yes, work hard. And by the way, working hard doesn't always equate to success, but success is also subjective. Who are you comparing it to? You may not end up a billionaire like Kim K, but something good is going to happen. You know what I mean? You'll be able to make a living at least. I mean, it's a whole bunch of people who feel like they work hard day in and day out, have multiple jobs. They feel like their result is not a billion dollars. So for that messenger to be telling you, work hard, you're not doing enough. It's like when Steve Harvey was on the show that one time, being like, hey, billionaires and millionaires don't sleep. It's like, it's so toxic to tell people that. Because also people who have minimum wage jobs, who have multiple jobs, don't sleep. But that's for somebody. And they also don't have it. Yeah, it's for a lot of people. It's for the majority of people. Even when you go to church, it's like, that message is not for everybody. It's for that person that's supposed to be here at that day. You know what I'm saying? Tomorrow might be for you. No, that was for everybody. That was for the internet. We seen that. Somebody took it in and somebody digested it. So whoever that was. Courtney. We saw her. It was Courtney that did it. Well, me too. You know what I'm saying? I did it when you heard it. Yeah. Yeah, like one day motivation. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't give a touch. One person, it was for somebody. Tomorrow might be for somebody else. You might hear the crack head say it or the cab driver. And the Steve Harvey message is toxic just because telling people not to sleep is toxic as fuck. I can't believe we ever bought into that stupid shit. Yeah. Even when Nas back in the day said. I don't think he meant actually sleep as going to bed. I'm thinking like just sleeping on your dreams and not moving. Yeah, but when I was young, I really took that shit off. Me too. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. Everybody got time for that. You don't have any music. I used to think to myself, if I wasn't in the studio until 5 or 6 a.m., I wasn't working hard. That's dumb. Anybody. Yeah, we all subscribed to that when we was young. I did. I stay up all night for what? Go get some goddamn rest. You can be more productive the next day. You know what I mean? You say you don't sleep now? Yeah, I mean, not that much. Why? Because I'm working then. No. I mean, I try to. I try to. But like. You probably already got some. No, like I try to get like 6 hours or something like that. But yeah, it's tough. There's a lot going on. Not me. I'm out. It's 24 hours in a day. How many hours you sleep? You up at 4 in the morning. You sleep at 4 hours a night. I'm being bed by like 10. Get out of here, bro. Yeah. 11. I'm being bed by like 10, yo. Watching a movie or something. Nah. I'm being bed by like 10. 4 or 5 hours of sleep I do a day. There you go. I try to. That's cool. If I could get more than that, it's kind of wild. No, it's not. It's wild. If I could get 8 a day, I would take that. Yeah. I'd be asleep all day. If you could get it. Yeah. I'd be sleep all day. I'd sleep too long. That's the mode I'm in now. Because I think we all realize as we get older, the real thing is to work smarter and not harder. Yes. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, and by the way, Steelo, you said something that's real. It is people working, you know, multiple jobs that will, you know, never see a billion dollars. But the difference is it's the line of work that they choose to be in. I'm not knocking nobody for whatever, you know, line of work they choose to be in. Everybody works based off what field they're in. If you're in a business that is giving out, you know, that kind of money and you're putting in those kind of hours, you're going to get that kind of money out of it. If you're in a business that's paying mid-level salaries or even minimum wage, if you've got three minimum wage jobs and you're working, you know, 80 hours a week, 120 hours a week, you're going to reap the benefits to that. So it's just all about what field you're in. I don't know if it's necessarily always choice and feeling like, oh, it's a field that chooses you. Like, when you come from a certain community, certain environment, certain background, you feel like sometimes that job chooses you. Like, you might not even have a real chance to really chase your dreams. You know how expensive it is to chase your dreams? I agree. Like, so for that person to come up and be like, working harder, you had the pleasure and the privilege of going to chase your dreams as well of not having to be like, oh, this job chose me. You woke up and was like, I don't know if I want to work here. I decided I want to work. I agree. But one thing that she said in that clip was all she said was work hard. Yeah. That's it. Yeah, not against it. So whatever it is you're doing, whatever field you're in, just work hard at it. Not a dream chasing thing is a whole different conversation because to me, that means that you have to decide what it is that you want to do. What is your purpose? You know what I'm saying? What is your passion? What is your intention when it comes to certain lines of work? We all chose, and to your point, some people don't choose. But for us in this room, we chose what it is that we wanted to do. And by the way, that don't mean it would have worked. Yeah. Like, there's plenty of people that have been doing comedy for years, shows that ain't selling out no arenas and ain't selling no theaters, but I bet you they're making a living. Yeah. I bet you they're making a living. There's plenty of people who aren't nationally syndicated. Success is subjective. Subjective. There's plenty of people who aren't nationally syndicated radio personality, but they've been working in their market for 25, 30 years, and they've had a steady paycheck for 25, 30 years. That's successful to me. If she said literally this, like, there are many ways to become famous, but to maintain your success, it takes hard work. If she literally just said that, like, you can become famous and successful because your parents did it for you. You can become famous and successful because you have a sex tape. You can become famous and successful because you work hard, but to maintain it, it takes undeniable work ethic and hard work. And that's what people aren't doing. What about Stetman? Stetman just been Stetman because he's Stetman. Stetman's an attorney. Stop saying that. That's not true. That's what I'm saying. Nobody else knows about that. Nobody knows about him being with Oprah. Did you know that about Stetman? Yes. Only I knew it was an attorney, yeah. But I don't know how much he really working. Yes. I don't know how much work he's really doing. Is he taking cases, bro? What cases is he doing? Yes. You heard him. Stetman was putting in mad work. How is he doing? Somebody just told me something. Somebody just told us something about Stetman. When we was with somebody. Oh, remember we was in Dallas. What happened? Don't say the name. My people husband. But I don't know what happened to him. Oh, you wasn't with me. That's what I'm saying. Listen, listen. What's that? No, I'm not saying. All I know is Stetman, put it like this. Stetman has been putting in working for a long time. Okay. You think Oprah is just going to be attracted to somebody and putting in work? But that's what I'm saying. It's like Stetman is right now. I don't know. I don't know. She might be in Oprah. Listen, Stetman being in Oprah is Kim Kardashian's sextate. First of all, I'm not going to sit here and let y'all disrespect Stetman. Y'all need to salute Stetman. You know why y'all need to salute Stetman? Because Stetman ain't never been no cloud chaser. He ain't. He ain't. Stetman has been sitting next to one of the most richest women in America and ain't never searched for cloud. He's never. That man is secure with who he is. That bag is nice. Because he got his own bag. Nice. He brought you guys on, but I promise you should drop another one on top of that. But if he wasn't in Oprah, you think people would know him? Probably no. That's what I'm saying. No, what are you saying? No, what are you saying? So you said he only get an attorney to work from Oprah? Not attorney to work from Stetman. I think I heard sextate with Stetman. What has he done, though? You don't even know. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's my point. You saying what's Stetman done? No, he's Oprah's guy. No, I know he's an attorney. He's a businessman. He's an entrepreneur. He was that before he got with Oprah. Who knows that? Who knows that? That fucking bio shit you see in girls. It's the truth, though. But nobody knows that's what I'm saying. I don't know what you're saying. I don't know what you're saying. Yo, he's a lawyer. Yes. Okay. Oprah is probably like, yo, what do you think about this deal? He could look it over. Yeah. I mean, he ain't doing a nine to five at some random law firm. He was. Before Oprah. Yeah. Yeah. Not long ago that was. But there's nothing wrong with that. I hope when I get 70s in, I hope when I'm that age, I ain't doing shit. Yeah. I don't think it would be a critical step in like, you know, do your thing, bro. There's no one Google said. What does that mean, dude? Oh, his first name is Stedman. What did you do? His name was a second name. That's not like a second name. I'm going to click that. What kind of work does Stedman do? The first one. No, no. Right there. No, the other one. Just click on what kind of work Stedman do. That first drop. There you go. Boom. Stedman Graham is an American educator, author, businessman, and public speaker. Is he the last one? He read it. He read it. He is a long-term partner of a woman. You just made up his job. He made up his job. He never even wrote a book. No, you know what? And you dragged me into this shit. Go to Wikipedia. All right. Go to Wikipedia. Go to Wikipedia. Tell us. You guys are crazy, man. All right, listen to me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. Tell me. He received a bachelor's degree in social work from, what does that shit say? He's at a university. Jay Tarsen! Harden, Stedman's university. Then he went to Boston University, played college basketball, Harden. Business career, hold on. He moved in North Carolina, established himself in PR. He had a bunch of clients. He was also a founding... He's a member of... Any broadcasting hall of fame? Oh, shit. Maybe he wasn't a lawyer. God damn. I thought he was a lawyer. But time out, though. So you gonna negate all of that work he did? No, but you said... Why are you putting this on me? You made up a job! Why are you saying nothing? He's also the author of several self-help and business-related books, right? How many books you got? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, eleven. He's got 12 books. Type in Steadman Graham as a lawyer. I need to know where I got this from. I do. I need to know where I got this from. He was the man of the case and everything. Either way, that man went to college. That man put in all that work. That man played college ball. He had a PR firm. How far we've tumbled down? Either way, he went to college. Hey, by the way, he played ball. Hey, by the way, I didn't know he did all that. I just said he was a lawyer. We know he was a lawyer. Wax and Stevin got the same qualifications. Shut up, man. I just think Oprah. Yeah. Oprah's friend? No. I'm tripping. No, I'm tripping. Go, go, go. I fucked it up. Ignition law. No, Graham Steadman. That's somebody different. That's a whole other person. Oh, my God. He's a lawyer. No, Graham Steadman. Following a long career as a corporate lawyer, I became the senior partner of London based international law firm. No, I know I got that shit from somewhere. Don't ever call the cops or somebody. He's a lawyer. Oh, don't be a bank teller in Atlanta. What you telling me when Ryan Coogler comes in? You telling me? Can we have an honest discussion about that? What? About the Ryan Coogler shit? I would hope so. Let's talk about it. Yeah. You are a filmmaker. Yes. You've probably watched thousands of films in your life. Yes. You've watched every bank robbing film in your life. Everyone starts the same way. Yeah. Walk to the teller with your face covered and you slide him a note. Why the fuck would you do that? You're missing out one great point. In those movies, they don't give you a debit card and put their debit card in and your ID. And you said on there my account. The note says can I take some money from my account? Everybody's jumping to the conclusion of the woman who was behind a counter. She's an idiot. Black woman by the way. She's an idiot. God bless her, but she's an idiot. Maybe she's an idiot. Everybody's assuming this is why I feel bad for her. Everybody's assuming she thought that he was there to rob the place. She did. This is my assumption. Played a 911 call. I thought that she was there for identity theft. I thought she was like a guy's coming in with sunglasses and a mask. I can't see his face. He's got the IDs and all that kind of stuff. He knows it. Played a 911 call. It's in Atlanta, right? It could be a guy's boyfriend. He's coming in, right? He knows his passcodes, knows all that shit. And he's like I'm going to take my boyfriend's money because he's just cheating on me. But I hear what you're saying. My only thing when you should take out a certain amount of money or use somebody, I always got to tell it. In no way I'm going to the bank tell it. I can be dressed like this and I go to the teller. They already going to call the cops on me anyway. That's not true. Why are you telling me my life? I'm telling you. Because you look suspicious. Thank you. I want to call the police on you right now. I'm only for 20 plus years. You don't think it's possible that the guy's boyfriend. This is Atlanta. This is very plausible. The guy's boyfriend who got all his passcodes. He's got his debit card. He's got all that shit. It's possible. He's got a cute fight. Fucked him up. Took his shit. Came with the glasses and the mask so that he wouldn't exactly see the difference. Gave the debit card all that kind of stuff. Didn't even say nothing. Just boom. There's no tellers there. Why do you go into the back and talk to? That's who you need to talk to. I've done this. Go, go. You got what? I'm going into the bank. But the only difference is I'd be like, I want to make a withdrawal. When it's a large amount, which is only $200. That's what a large amount is to me. I write down on the paper the amount of money. And this is what I want. And I give it to him. I don't say it out loud. If you wrote down $200 on your paper, give me $200 on a piece of paper. That's a large amount. Why are you judging me? Because that's not enough to me. That's a large amount. Can I get $200? Everybody don't make millions on ridiculousness. Wow. Do they have the note that he wrote? It's right there. You can't even read. I would like to withdraw $12,000 cash from my checking account. From my checking account. Get one other checking account. Who writes this? No, no, no. That is suspicious right there. No, it's not. I'd like to take it from my checking account. No shit. Who writes this? I gave you my card in my ID. What's up with the note? So why you got to put your account? Look at that again. Look at that again. I want y'all to look at that again. That's not just a note. That's the back of a withdrawal slip. I see that. He gave them a withdrawal slip. All right. This should be suspicious. I'll be honest. And I'll be honest. I didn't know. I got to talk when I'm there. Wax. And this is my... Listen, I'm telling you. He did talk. He did talk. Do you know what season this is? Why the hell he need to go ahead and... Do you know what season this is? I'm going to go to the bank and say, can I get $12,000? What he did is absolutely... He should have went and sat down to these people. I know he go to the bank enough to know you got to have a bank guy. No, but he's an Asian and I always go see them. But you're saying that because you were sitting in your community. He's an Atlanta film. He's own living in Atlanta. So he's at a different bank. He's trying to get some cash out and be like, all right, it could be for production. It could be anything. It was for his... He said he has a medical provider at the house who only takes cash. Yep. So you have the bank come drop off the cash. Like, none of us haven't done this before. I've never done that. I didn't do that. Tell me that. That's a white privilege. I didn't do that. I didn't know you could do that. I'll agree with the cash anytime you want. I ain't never heard that one show. It's not a business. What do you call it? You sound like me talking about Steadman Graham's a lawyer. I've never heard that. I've never heard that. I might be. Yeah, that's different. I've never heard that. I've never heard of Black people robbing banks. I thought that only we did that. Man, shut up. I've done it. I swear to God. I've never seen a Black person robbing my life. I've never seen a movie where Black people rob banks. I thought this was my job. You say what? Dead presidents. Black women and dead presidents. The dead presidents now. They pay themselves white. They pay themselves white. They pay their white face. They pay their white face. They pay their white face because nobody would have believed that they went in there with the Black actual faces. They had to go white face all the way around the bank. Only white people blocked off rob banks. This is our job. No, it's not. No, it's not. You know what's so funny about that? You know what's so funny about that? And fucking shooting schools is guaranteed. That's all shit, y'all. That's all shit. When Black people rob banks, they put white fate madly on them. No, they do. Right? What did the girls put on? Did the girls put on the white shit? They were clear. They were clear. Only white people rob banks. Say again. I don't know what that is. Me neither. Oh, yeah. T.I. T.I. T.I. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had a couple of white dudes. Nobody saw that shit. Nobody saw that shit. Nobody saw that shit. They got white friends. It was unbelievable, bro. It was unbelievable. I used to think this was bullshit. I think that, like, going in and asking them that this is actually pretty normal. When I go in and if I'm getting an amount, I don't ever, like, write what I'm supposed to on the withdrawals. I write whatever. I do that all the time. If you're like, yo, the brand's there. I put my card in already. I gave you my ID. We should have no issues. My other issue is this. You are a new bank teller. If this is your first time going through that experience, I'm cool with all that. If you're afraid to be like, it's a slip, then you got to hand it off to your actual manager anyway because the amount is over your limit. So you got to go to your manager anyway. So your manager then did do diligence and been like, ah, you know what? He's good. Everything gets squared away. That's actually homing me from blah, blah, blah. But instead, y'all just all panicked. All panicked. Like, why does your mind said immediately go to, let me call the police? Lovers Trist. Let me call 911. Lovers Trist. They got to fight. Blacks, you don't count. Look at you. Yes. You don't count. No, not yes. I mean, no. That's prejudice. That's prejudice. Hey, what you're describing is prejudice and racism. And we got to stop that. Okay? We got to stop that. And y'all got to stop robbing banks. What the fuck are we going to rob? What are we going to rob if y'all rob all the banks? Oh, man. We almost missed some shit that night. I had to go to fucking jail for no reason. Come on. I want you to play the 911 cup because listen to this. Please. Listen. Play guns out of me as well. Listen to how she's out. Please. He's just being weird. Listen. Go. Listen. That note is kind of weird, though. Say what? I don't. That note is not weird at all. I think it's not weird at all. If she would have read it, if she would have simply read it. If your wife just gave you a note out of nowhere, aren't you like, yo, what's going on? Somebody buy weed from me and give you a note. Stop giving me a note. Buy weed from you and give you a note. Why would that? Why would I need a note? There ain't no window in there. You better be doing some other shit. What? Listen. Listen. Listen. All right. Come on. Bring it back. Bring it back, Taylor. Listen. Listen. Listen. Don't break this. Can you go back to the beginning and not talk? Listen. My parents gave me a note. I just told my man that he was still comfortable. So he told me to call police while he was just tall. What is it? What's on the note, Pam? It just says I want to withdraw $12,000. This would be discreet. Is this an actual customer or are they trying to rob the bank? They had a debit card and he inserted it. He gave me a telephone and asked me. But I was like, okay. I was like, how do you? I was like, how do you want the cash set? And he like just looked at the note. And he had no weapons. I was like, okay. I was like, okay. I was like, okay. And he had no weapons, correct? Not that I know of. He just has on black burn stage and a black first time. He said, just look at the note. A black cat. Is he a black male, white male? He's a black male. And anytime I ask him like a question, he's like, look at the note. So. But he inserted his debit card and then I asked for his ID. He handed his ID in the car. And then I asked for his ID. He handed his ID in the California ID. But I didn't look at his name because I'm just like so sugar. Like, I don't know what he's trying to do. Now listen to the 911 moment. You know, I have to get my manager. Okay. So none of his information was verified. Okay. He might just want to be discreet, but I have police around. Yeah. I mean he might be just discreet. He might just want to be discreet. He's lucky. He's lucky. He's black. He's lucky. He's alive. He's lucky. But if he was white, you'd be arrested shot probably multiple times. Yes. Not even close. If a white person hands up the bank. No. Hey listen, if a white person hands a bank, no in the bank, are you that shoot him immediately, bro? Not even close. Shoot him immediately, dude. But they probably you have wanted to do whatever he wanted to do. They let him do whatever he wanted to do. Do whatever he wanted to do. And then he said we never knew. Everybody else did. But I'm saying right now, I know Ryan enough to know Ryan don't want to talk. Number one, Ryan is very like he barely saw. He's very soft-spoken. So if anything, he probably just like, yo, it's a lot of money. And I'm he probably uncomfortable. Honestly. He told the police, he said, yo, I come in here it's counting for a long time and everybody starts looking. Yo, I don't know about y'all. I do that shit every time. I'm taking out a large amount. I give him a note. I try not to go in there when it's a lot of people in there. If I'm taking out my $200. Yeah. How would you want your $200? That's right. That's it. Because the wolf is out. The wolf is out. The wolf is out. That's why you need to go in the back and go into the little booths and let them go handle that thing. But like, like Thilo told you earlier, he's not from Atlanta. He's from California. America is probably in California. Man, they got booths everywhere. Go down and sit down and talk to the people, man. I hope that one day we exist in a world where white men and black men can go to banks and hand them notes and not experience a prejudice. Hand them withdrawal slips. Hand them withdrawal slips. And on the back of the withdrawal slip, you can write further comments. You can write your Hey, no bank robber ever gave the ID. ID. Let's just start. No bank robber has ever been like here also catch me. How you jumped it? How you the bank teller? Unless it's a fake one. How you the ID? Well, that was just looking for reasons. You the bank teller. How you just jumped the conclusions? Why you didn't just do your job? How about run his account? Oh, he got the money there. This is his ID. It's like if you're on a plane, have you heard things like bomb? It's certain key words that happened. What key word did you hear? What key word? It's a withdrawal slip. He didn't write the word. No. No. On the back. Have you ever looked at it? It tells you to write specific things you want. Yes. I never knew that. I was just making it actually die from this. Like die from this. Die. They can't have guns drawn on this man. It's not going to be a buck with you. I don't know if I'm as poised and impolished as him to put my hands by my back immediately because I'm at the bank. I already know I'm probably going to put my hands up and turn it around by what the fuck is going on. He at least knew okay, I'm here and he's locked in here in the guns. Listen. It shouldn't matter who he is. You're right. I shouldn't go to the hood with chain on my neck either. If I get robbed in certain places right now we know how we get looked at. Every time I go to the bank when I go to Target I know they're watching me. I know exactly what they're doing. Have you ever stole from Target? Never stole from Target but I already know for a fact. Candles. So you're basically saying all discrimination and profiling against black men is not justified but I know exactly what's happening. If you live my shoes in my life I know exactly when I go places I ain't got it's not right but it's nothing I can do about it so I got to play a sport. There's a lot of scenarios where I agree with Wax on that but going into a bank with withdrawal slip writing my specific needs on the back of the withdrawal slip giving them my debit card and government ID is not one of those scenarios. I would have never thought in a million years that would have happened. What bank robber is going to go in and be like just give me $12,000 they're going to be like give me all the money that should have been the biggest point that should have been like he's not trying to rob the bank he's actually acting like you know anything about bank robber shut the fuck up I know I know I know the specific amount I know ain't no bank robber giving you a debit card and an ID. Period. Period. Ain't nobody knowing that. What are we talking about? I want you to tell you how my life is I know certain places I got a tiptoe until everybody get comfortable. So you tiptoes you've always been tiptoes this whole time you've told this story about tiptoes in the locker room you've been tiptoes that they're looking at me a certain way I would never I wouldn't expect that in the bank though not in that scenario not in that scenario not in that scenario kind of way and in construction stuff and they're handling hundreds of thousands of dollars they're doing you know it's called being Black okay I'm also saying that man gave you every reason to say I guess this is a different black if you want to be racist about it and I get what you're saying it's just certain ways just for us being Black certain things we ain't going to talk to the Colt you know I see white people talk to Colt like why you pulling me over la la la yeah mother fuck if I even say that regardless I think I should my white friends say it to them you know what's scary man like you know if you watch the video you know Ryan was like please take my shades off I'm having a panic attack about scenarios like that. You're a black man. You already see all of these different videos of interactions that happen with black people in the police. They come at you with your guns drawn. Immediately you're going to have a panic attack, right? Immediately, immediately you're going to start hyperventilating. Immediately you're going to feel like you've got a shit and you've got to throw up. And then in the midst of having a panic attack, they want you to have a logical conversation with them. Why are you nervous? What you mean? Why am I nervous? Yo, I got pulled over five o'clock in the morning in New Jersey, leaving my crib, right? Backwards in New Jersey. It was like two weeks ago. I called my wife just to have her on number one to record the interaction. Number two, to comfort me. Number three, just thinking to myself, this might be the last conversation I have with somebody on this earth. That's my mindset. As a black man at five o'clock in the morning, getting pulled over by this police officer. You know what that police officer said to me? I pulled you over because you tend to too dark. That's not true. That's number one. Then he's like, is this your car? Yes, it's my car. Who else car would it be, sir? You know what I mean? You robbed the car. Giving my license and registration and everything else. Why do you have a South Carolina license? Because I'm lazy. Because I don't work hard enough to go down to the DMVs, man. And get a new driver. He's trying to grab. He's trying. He don't even believe this is me. I'm like, he's like, what are you doing around here? I live five minutes away. That's what I'm saying. It's a certain thing that you told him that Eva is going to, and heighten him, like your license and probably heighten something, that note and heighten something, because that's what they heard. And then when I gave my address, he was like, you live, you live on? Yeah. Surprised. Yes. What kind of car were you driving? Problematic. But that makes, that makes sense. You know what? Get a nicer car for the neighborhood you live in. A 2021 Escalade? Yeah, Escalade. Come on. OK, I'm not gonna say that. I mean, let's get something British. Get a rain. What are we doing over here? Let's stop playing around. I'm lying to you. I don't have an Escalade. I didn't even know that, um, It's your car. You fooled him. You got him. They were all due for a second charge. I didn't even know, um, Is It Your Car wasn't an actual normal question. I found out maybe years later, as a black dude, I thought Is It Your Car was just a normal question the police ask you every time. Until I realized my white friends wouldn't be asked that question. I was in the car one time. I was like, wait, they didn't even ask you, Is It Your Car? Wow. And he was like, what you mean? I was like, when we could pull it up, they were supposed to ask you, Is It Your Car? And he was like, no they don't. And I was just like, oh, that's crazy. I never knew that. I was young, but never knew that. So it's just like, those are the things that you constantly deal with. You're just smart. I feel like. You gotta play by the rules regardless. We know our days and don't beat them. It's a tough guy and don't worry about what it is. He wasn't. But once again, that's right. Come on. I agree with Wax in most of these scenarios. What rules did Ryan break? Yeah. I can't go into a bank and make a withdrawal out of my account. You going there saying, oh, somebody blew the bath from up. Remember when somebody got in trouble, they blew the bath from up? You're making up hypotheticals that don't apply to this situation. It is because that note is a key word. No, it's not. Read the note. He didn't say note. If we're being serious, if we're being serious. I mean like. What he did? He kept telling her to read the note. Yeah. I thought we're joking around a little bit. But like obviously this has become serious. And here's the reality. He did nothing wrong. He did nothing illegal. Absolutely not. It might have been a little bit abnormal for the woman that was at the bank, especially if he kept saying like just read the note. But there's nothing illegal about saying, hey, I would like you to read the note. All the information is on there. That probably piqued her interest a little bit. And she's like, what's going on, et cetera. But he didn't do anything illegal. And it's unfortunate that this happened. I have your debit card. I have your ID. I'm going to read the note. Yeah. And you say you read it. She told the note. She didn't even tell the one operator what was actually in the note. She was like, the note says, withdraw $12,000. That's not what the note said. So you really didn't read the note. He gave you specific instructions on what he wanted. The only other question after that is, how do you want your money back? That's it. She probably watched a lot of movies too. Well, she couldn't read that well. That's what it sounded like to me. She said, I don't know this fucking word. I got to call the police. Yeah, because when I was supposed to read, I only read the top and the bottom of everything. That's good. Okay. Yeah. It seems like you get all the information. First slide and last slide. That's really good. How are you doing, sir? Okay. Nice. And at the bottom of it, no cursing. Sincerely, have a great day. That's a great note. Yeah. God bless Ryan Coogler, man. Ryan Coogler did nothing wrong. The bank teller treated Ryan Coogler the way y'all treated Kim Kardashian. She did nothing wrong. They did nothing wrong. Whoa. Kim Kardashian did nothing wrong.

It's not even the future audio is the now if you have your audio is not know a lot of people just getting into you know different aspects of the Audio scripted wave now, but you know, it's kind of like the the oil rush a little bit of kind of like crypto should have gotten a little early You know, I even know this is our first project We've been plotting this out for like, you know three four years because we saw where the game was going So it's actually very intriguing man. It's like back in the day when you still I wasn't alive then but you hear about people listening to like Batman on the radio Award of worlds, you know what I mean? Like that's how it is listening to these, you know audio scripted projects I think cereal was like the first one I was I was hearing about cereal was unbelievable. Really. Yeah, I never listened, but it Listen, it was incredible. It was Unbelievable on only audible even like the GPS. I like when the lady talk All right Thank you, thank you All right, let's get it some shit. You won't care about next week. Oh man Damn Nick Cannon Nick Cannon show got canceled Boy breaks my heart. Yeah, I don't think they got a fair shot six months. I don't think six months is a long enough It's not a long enough time period to determine whether a show will catch a night. Yeah, I give it at least a year I think a year is a good a good many days a week was every day Especially in top dates. It's tough already. So you got to give it some time You got to give some time and I mean he had a lot of different things against him, you know, Wendy Williams was supposed to be his leading Right. So Wendy wasn't there for a while. So he had a lot of reruns when he first started and I mean it's hard You know to come After a rerun like if Wendy's doing a live shows and she's doing 600,000 you would hope to retain at least a hat, you know what I mean, they say Nick was doing like 400,000 So it's like I don't I don't know man. I think Nick, you know, it's not like he's hurting for anything Nick will be fine, but yeah, I just six months. I don't think it's a long enough Time and I feel like he had social media in a chokehold. I'm always seeing Nick Cannon clips all over Instagram He's making baby. So that's the thing. Well, I mean more time to spend with him Yeah, he make it more baby. So it's constantly talking about that. That's a good point Do I wonder since daytime is like so female driven did that turn women off? I wonder I don't know. Yeah, me neither. I wonder. They probably won't have his baby, too Okay I'm gonna stick around if you see if I get picked next What else we got? What did we think about? What did we think about Calvin Ridley of the Atlanta Falcons being suspended for the whole 2022 season for betting On football games the gambling money coming in for football is so insane that they got to protect the sanctity of the game And by sanctity, I don't mean like they got to make it Nice and and peachy and clean But they just got to make sure that all these people betting can trust that the outcomes are actually outcomes Yeah, because they're going to make ridiculous amounts of money off it as gambling, right? So because they got like seven deals with drive kings and fandals The money is going to be so unbelievable through gambling That you have to make it feel like those scores are accurate If there's one player gambling 1500. Oh, it's so stupid. He's a fucking idiot for doing this Especially being that he's going to lose 11 million dollars this season. Yeah, that's crazy But it's 15 and he knows they all know they're not dumb, right? Like they know it's just give it to your boy If you really want to gamble that bad give 1500 to your friend and say, yo, you gamble this shit and then we're fine He wasn't even playing in the games by the way. That's what that's what I'm saying He was taking a mental health break two things. That's crazy about this situation. Number one He's you're able to gamble on other sports if you're in the NFL So I don't know why the NBA or whatever he else. He was betting on isn't a fix for your gambling habit, right? Yeah, right. Yeah. Number two He plays for the Falcons. He bet on the Falcons the win Anybody that bets on the Falcons the win Come on, bro. He's been concussed Come on the guy Come on. Yeah, you just said he said he meant to help break down said you bet on the Falcons the win Bro, this guy isn't trying to do anything wrong. This guy has no ill intention whatsoever. He bet on his team to win The Falcons and they were seven and ten last year playing I was just gonna say it's like it's like Pete Rose Like if Pete Rose whole thing was that he only would bet for the rest to win So it's like why am I being penalized if I'm just betting that I'm just doubling down on what I already believe For my team and we're gonna get this done. That's true. Yeah, I think that was his whole thing that he would bet He bet religiously though. Yeah, but I think it was only on him to win. All right Yeah, he was like an insane competitor. He wasn't actually like throwing games or like point-shaping anything But I think it's got to be nuanced to this right if you bet if I'm betting on my team to win You can't accuse me of anything. Hmm. You know what I'm saying? Yeah If I bet on my team to lose then maybe I got some inside information. Maybe I know that Throw games for a better draft pick It just gets dicey, right? Because like what if you're betting on your team to win But what if there are other things within that like you're betting on the fact that your team is not going to score in the third Quarter, but they're still going to win and then you're doing everything that you can You know I'm saying like there's certain things and I think they just make this blanket statement because the NFL is going Yo, we're going to make so much bread off of These gamb off of the gambling sites giving us a little piece of every I guess I think they get a little piece of everything that's gambled on football I mean they got deals. It's like sponsorships Right, so they got they got deals with fan duel draft kings. It's like seven They got like seven different sponsorships with gambling right platforms. Yeah, so it's just I don't know It's just weird. I think the safer things just don't allow it at all And the safer thing is not to gamble if you in the NFL, but I'm gonna tell you something What was the parlay he did like a multiple sport parlay, right? I don't even I don't bet I just knew 1500 million sounds good. That don't even make no sense. Yeah, it was a bad deal A parlay is you basically combine multiple bets So you're like, okay, this team's gonna win the tip off and this team is gonna win the game But cover the spread and this team over here But it's almost hard not to gamble if it's right there on your phone If you're if it's on your phone and you're already a gambler and you're on fan duel at draft kings for NBA And you see the NFL you might place a couple beds. It's not really nothing. You're really thinking about Honestly, I'd be real with you. Uh, so you haven't been this whole time even For me growing up it's like it's promoted so much more now you like if you're on socials like you got bleach report Bleach your bed and then and like I'll see comments of kids being like Good job. Fucking gang I'll see comments of kids being like why y'all promoting for us now start to become gambler My little cousin came in in time with me this past year 24k man. He was gambling every day. I was like, yo fam. What you be doing? He's like, I've been gambling between these parlays I'm like, I'm like, why? Make a little money gambling. Do you think it's stock market gambling? Yeah Yeah, somewhat but also look at these dudes. I'm like if these like the athletes If you've already been raising them on this for the past six years and you a young athlete You're gonna probably already be doing that. What's wrong with your cousin doing it though? He's an athlete No, he's just had no money I don't have a problem though You know what else would this Calvin really think too? I don't think this happens to a superstar And now even though Calvin really is a marquee player for the Falcons This doesn't happen to a superstar face of the league. This Patrick Mahomes. He don't get suspended for a year for this It doesn't he don't I agree, you know That's right, you know, that's right. That's right. That's right. You don't gotta look no farther than the Aaron Rogers situation Aaron Rogers lied about being vaccinated and had to pay a fine of 14 grand. Antonio Brown gets three games I know they got a little different one is faking a vax card, which is a federal felony. The other is Saying that he was immunized. Yeah No, but he spoke no, he didn't lie used lawyer language to get out of it He never immunized and vaccinated ain't the same thing. Is it naturally immunized or something like that? No, it's bullshit. It also you tell to me his words because he put actual media and everybody else until harm's right He spoke at press conferences. Yes, they both did Yeah, they um, yeah, they both did I don't know maybe it's just a federal felony to do the vax card, right? Like you could serve time for it. So you could say ab got off light and and uh, what's it called? Aaron was Aaron was misleading and he was being douchey and fucking annoying about it both lied about their vaccinations. That is Yes, so and one got fine 1400 one got three games So if the if the if you understand that there is like, uh, a difference between like faking identification and just lying about Not in the NFL is not Oh, I thought the punishment was based on the faking of the identification. They just both lied about their vaccinations There you go. Well, then in the real world. That's incredibly unfair. I'm just talking about the legal In the real world. Yeah Did he present to them he may have but I know his chef was the one who snitched on him Aaron Rodgers, right? No, no But for me, Aaron Rodgers really lied to everybody The chef just told on me. I ain't say shit. I just showed up my vax card. I'm good. I'm moving around Like everybody else, you know, New York you can go to any bodega get one for 100 So it's like everybody Everybody moving on on the fake vaccines for forever. So you're right. There is there is obviously privileged to being like a superstar Yes And he was a superstar like if maybe if it was earlier in his career, then no white quarterbacks though Superstar white quarterback. Yeah, that's the difference. Sure. Yeah. Yeah After my home though, yeah, he probably They wouldn't do that to my home's like I think it's just I forgot it never's been my home for a whole year for this Interesting. No, never. No, no, no If they want if they thought that it was uh, okay to pay you that 11 million dollars They know that he's gonna be able to play that out I think they would have kept them there, but they was like, I don't want to pay him that 11 million dollars He home anyway for the his fucking help Maybe that is interesting. Maybe they're looking for a reason not to pay him that 11 million He's taking this mental health leap. Well, who's suspending them? Was it the league or his team? I think it was the league Yeah, but maybe the team goes. Hey, we heard This guy is gambling if he was gambling before in their winning games and he's actually performing They're not giving a fuck. Yeah, but once he's not going to both play me if he's taking his mental health Nah fam, you're not gonna be gambling as well, but that wasn't going to go into next year. It was it Well, he only took the mental health leap for some games He took mental health last year last year Maybe they just didn't want to pay him Maybe because listen teams do dirty shit like remember they didn't want to pay Odell Beckham jr. And all of a sudden this video popped up of him being a rattle girl It's modern coke Like if you don't think that You didn't see that the girl was doing coke girl was But like this video just happened to come out in a contract here It's like these these organizations are crying. They do Politicians and they come up about you until you about the run. Yeah, no idea the way Yeah, I just well listen here's going to be the thing We're going to see in the future what's going to happen because I guarantee you it's going to be some superstar That gets caught in this same gambling thing made a five dollar bet on drive kings or fan duel or something And he's not going to receive the same punishment that calvin ridley did we'll see are you saying calvin ridley He should step up his play. Yeah, I think so Clearly he's a good player But he should be better and then he could receive the preferential treatment I mean clearly he's a marquee player because he's getting 11 million dollars last year. He's a marquee player for that It's good. I'm just saying so you can be a marquee player for the falcons But when you're a face of the league Patrick Mahoney's an ambassador for the I mean all NFL players are ambassadors for the league When you see Patrick Mahoney's you that's the face of the NFL He is just gambling because I know Michael Jordan them used to gamble all the time in basketball Is it just gambling or gambling for that sport? I think it's for the sport You can't gamble on the team the league that you play in and gamble and bet on your bet on your actual team Can you bet on games other games or you ain't gonna do with them? No, you can't do no NFL bets You have some kind of like insider knowledge. Yeah, like you went to college with some of these guys So you know what blah blah's foot is hurt. Mm-hmm, right? Yeah Um, Lindsey Graham faced backlash for calling for the assassination of Putin I mean, what are we are we war are we not a war like I hate You know I'm saying like I have polite motherfuckers get with this shit like Are people dying or they're not dying if we go to war then take out the head dude. Yeah, dumb. What's up then like Where's this? Why do we have more respect for Putin's life than we do for the ukrainians? That are getting killed or even the russian soldiers getting killed like we seem to be okay with them killing each other There's not right. Yeah His life's no different. You go out and do it then do it yourself. Lindsey. Yeah I'll tell you why statements like this don't bother me because If there is this kind of sense of urgency because I would assume somebody like senator Graham has a lot more intel than we do Right if there's this kind of sense of urgency where he's saying that man Somebody needs to go take this guy out. Yeah, but a good of the world He's just he's just trying to galvanize his base and he wants to rob But his bases his base love Putin. No, they don't they love them. That's it. Just flip last year He had like a high approval rating amongst republicans than biden did because he didn't go to war No, because he fucking helped him win the election. Yeah He helped him win the election Putin had a higher approval rating just last year than biden did yeah people like strong in the republican party people like strong leaders I don't know man. I read something in the new york times that said he um He might be dealing with some uh Some health issues. Oh, yeah, he's scared of covet. No. No. No. They say he got like Parkinson's because of the health issues apparently he's terrified of covet That's why you ever seen him in the in the picture. He's like he's like Beauty and the beast away from people in the chair and like the tables Beauty and the beast, you know when they're eating dinner But that's scary though, that's scary to have that kind of power And feel like, you know, the walls are closing in on you. Yeah, for sure. And you just That's right. You like fuck it. I'm gonna do everything I've always wanted to do No, I'd never liked america anyway Yeah, you know what I mean Yeah, much of dick can't work no more like nobody gives a fuck about life. Anyway, it's over you think if he can't be I'm just saying he can't be around his wife. He can't get no pussy He can't even eat next to nobody. He got he got not that he's dug out. He got a woman. Yeah. Yeah, I think I read something he had his girlfriend and one of his two his kids tucked away somewhere Yeah, yeah Yeah But yeah, the war thing is interesting because everything we get's a lot more simple like you realize how much I don't know. You realize how much stuff that like we've built on top of Peace like we can care about everybody's insecurities. We can care about everybody's discomfort when we live in peacetime Like we can make sure that there's a perfect bathroom for every different person and all these things is peacetime shit Ain't no like gender neutral bathrooms in a bunker in the ukraine when you underground getting bombed right Nobody's trying to figure that and that's that's the real world and that's the history of the world Yeah, I don't know how much they have been built on peace though Say again, I don't know how many things have been built on peace what I'm talking about is like The the the pleasantries that we want to make sure that everybody has Yeah We might be at peace but there's people dying over these things. Yeah Somebody gotta die We might be at peace. That's the american perspective. That's the american perspective. But there's people Literally dying Over these things every day. Which things just so we're anything gas oil. Oh, yeah, we want low gas prices Somebody gotta die over there, right? No, no, no The point I was trying to make is like we take we take for granted the fact that we're not at war, right? Yes, so when we're not at war we can think about things and we can go How can we how can we structure society to make it equitable for everyone? How can we remove your inconveniences, right? Like for example, like, you know girls You shouldn't be harassed when you're walking to work You shouldn't have a guy go like smile or have a nice day that being said if you're a woman in the ukraine right now You would die from motherfucking say smile When you're walking out of the street because you're really trying to avoid shelling from these russian tanks, right? So it's like life life comes at you in so many different ways and it gives you perspective when you're actually at war Like what is real inconvenience? Even in a bunker that's real inconvenience. It is. Yeah, all perspectives are different. You know, I Totally understand what you're saying. I don't I don't you know, I'm not going to diminish anything Anybody might feel like there's an inconvenience because what you just talked about even a woman walking down the street That woman been getting harassed Since they hit puberty. No, that's an inconvenience for them. What I'm trying to say is like I'm I'm looking I'm not going like you should be grateful for what you have. I'm going Hey, how awesome is it the life we live? Oh, yeah Let us never lose perspective that like we can focus on that that's a problem for us That like sexual harassment is a problem for us that we really want to solve That's awesome. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something those shows and I agree with you But I'm gonna tell you something me and Duvall talk about this all the time America gonna feel it We feeling it right now. No, it's gonna be it's everything that we see in these other countries Like that you said that we we take for granted the creature comfort We're gonna be at the end of that movie. Uh, that don't look up Not at the cabrio looks at the table and goes. We really had it all Done a lot to to feel it You know, I'm saying ultimately like when I look at all of this it is been just mind blowing of uh, how much why people care about each other Uh, it's been crazy to me just to watch like what's going on in ukraine and I see everybody on socials have Hey, I'm raising this amount of money and it is I'm like America does this to countries all the time We have never raised money once for other people It is just crazy to me to watch the world move in such a Unit sense of being like we have to stick together and I'm like Where is this when the other world other parts of the world or something? That's so funny You see it like this. I see the opposite. I see it like the word world finding out like whiteness All whites don't matter Like I see I see it like as I think most people just go Oh, yeah, all white people just kind of see themselves as the same and now it's just like, well, it's not totally the same Like there's levels to this white shit and Yeah, if you're an army they don't take care of you they look white But they're not getting white treatment. This is what Putin said. Putin's like he feels like he wants to denotify the country Yeah, you know what I mean? Like that's what he said. He's I feel like I he said I'm denotifying Ukraine It's drug addicts in Ukraine. He's talking about the ukrainians the way Trump talked about mexicans Like seriously, I mean he's taken a page out of our book now. He's doing the the biological weapons He's doing the weapons of mass destruction. Shit. He's like, yo, there. Yes He was like, yo, they got nukes. They gave up their nukes in the 90s Bio weapons, I thought he said nukes. No, no, it was bio bio weapons and the american Bio nuclear weapons though. Maybe it may be possible. I always thought it was like But yeah, I mean, this is just like this is a page right out of america's book That's how we got into iraq. That's the funniest shit when people say why would he invade a country for no reason How is he making up the fact that they have weapons? Why would he do that? Welcome? We did Have you ever heard of iraq? I mean, that's not why he's doing it, right? It's like he's doing it because Ukraine is very important border. I don't know why he's doing it. I'm like See I don't really know. I have no idea. I've been like, but there's no real reason of why he's moved at this time But don't I think it is a border for sure Yeah, like if you look at like if you just bring up a map tell if you just bring up a map of that region Basically if if russia controls the the ukraine and before they did they had like a puppet government in there Now we have a puppet government in there Like, you know, I know this guy Zalinsky is is doing some absolutely heroic stuff 100% But he's supported by the west and he was propped up there by the west and then before that there was a guy that was Propped up by russia and russia is okay with these satellite states as long as they do their bidding The reality of the world is it's like there's not that many independent countries There are countries that their policy is based on the biggest most powerful country around them Just like in america. It's like once you Divert from our foreign policy you have some struggles I thought they were mad. I thought they didn't want ukraine to be independent. I thought they don't want you If you pull over a little bit more over there so we can actually see Oh get try to do a map where you can see the country we're talking about Yeah, and then uh, so so basically was like There's a piece of land There's a patch of land russia for the most part if it controls ukraine is protected by like mountain ranges Right, but there is a patch of land that you can access russia and actually to ukraine through europe Yeah, and as long as they control the ukraine and their foreign policy There's a very small patch of land that european forces could enter russia from but he's not stopping at ukraine though Say again, he wants poland like he's not going well. Yeah, this is all to protect the russian land mass Right now as long as these countries like belarus, for example Is a is an independent country, but they're doing whatever russia says to do so all of a sudden they're fine Are any of these countries actually a threat to russia down the later? No, it's it's not about them so the whole war is like a proxy war right so Russia doesn't want nato, which is basically western influence in their on their quote-unquote borders But what they're really trying to do is protect the land border So that if there was a war where troops had to invade russia There would only be a very small patch of land where they could invade them through Right, and if that's the case you can defend this massive patch of land, which is russia By having very small amount of forces because they only have to defend this land You're not going to go over the fucking mountains. Well, correct me if i'm wrong. Didn't you the ukraine Turned down being a part of nato They they had to that was the agreement initially is like hey, we're going to give up our nukes You are going to not fuck with us at all, but y'all have to protect us We're also not going to join nato. Yeah, and then of course nato wants to continue expanding and we want to continue So that should let russia know like at least well, you know, ukraine is not trying to Click up with nato, but we were clicking up with nato. Yeah, and we were doing it and we installed a government or not a government but a leader who is more sympathetic to nato Causes and now we they just appeal to be part of the european union And that's really what this war is all about and so russia doesn't want to allow that expansion And they'll allow these tiny little states that can exist there But if you if you just went to google maps and types and type in russia and then zoomed out You can kind of look at it Everything you say it sounds great. I don't I have no idea. I still think that they just being a natural sexy decoy for china China's the wild card in all of this China I like things keep going as usual right because it's like If i'm china You could you could make the argument that china is kind of operating the way that us was operating for world war Or like around world war two us and world war two is like i'ma let these motherfuckers fight it out And then i'ma come in to be the hero they get broke i come in at the end Boom scoop it all up now all these motherfuckers are broke they were they got to redo all their countries We didn't got to rebuild shit China i'm going y'all fight this shit out when y'all are broke hungry poor I'll come in i'll be the i think china empowered it If i i think the russia china alliance i think that you think that they didn't have conversations And china's like you know what russia go try this out if y'all get away with this we going into taiwan other way Yeah, stop right there. I'm interested in seeing if china invades, uh, taiwan and they do if the people react the same way That's what i am interested in based on how this is No one's gonna know what's gonna get chris. Where you at chris zoom back and zoom back out. Huh zoom back out. You can keep up Yeah, there you go. Is chris there? He is here. What's up? Come on. What's your take? I'm nervous You know, I got a 80 year old mother-in-law who swear she's gonna pick up a gun And they're gonna fight block the block street to street. I think that'll be what happens in taiwan Yeah, wow Wow I hope it doesn't happen, but it's it's not looking good. Well, you think it shows take I actually just got reconnected. So I didn't hear it. What's that? Let's show They're just trying to control landmass and there's a very small landmass that russia has to defend as long as the The countries that quote-unquote should be allies with russia Uh maintain like russia's uh beliefs and uh political affiliations So like if you look at it, I'm just gonna go up the tv real quick. It's probably like this. This is dope This is like some god damn to the board. This is like the weatherman To the board to the board shows Get on a mic we got So those three countries don't necessarily side with moscow uthani EU countries, who'd you say uthania? Estonia Latvia left away. Okay, right? But russia doesn't give a fuck because if you notice russia's land also includes this Okay, okay, so it doesn't matter what's going on here because they're protected. Okay Okay, I think that place is called a collin grad or some shit Belarus part of russia ukraine supposed to be part of russia The only way that the rest of europe can if they have to on land Uh invade russia is through I believe this patch right here Okay, there's a mount range that protects over here if i'm not mistaken obviously black sea that could also come in Oh, obviously black sea there across so what they're doing is it's like a game of risk They're trying to make they're trying to make sure that the only place they could be invaded was through this small area But here's the thing shows I why would they want to control all this here? If they don't control ukraine look at forces can go right up But why would anybody all of a sudden want to invade russia? Where did this come from like since when did europeans decide they want to invade russia? Diplomacy operates at a at a glacial pace when like is that a thing chris? I haven't heard it. I mean the the only thing I could imagine is Russia's sitting on a lot of gas and we see how get how valuable gas is right. Oh got you russia is Russian the gas is only valuable now because they cut off the russian Gas is always out. Yeah. That's always out. But like they never put the sanctions on russia We wouldn't be in this situation No, because gas gas is always valuable and also like if you look at russia, it's just natural resources, right? It's massive land just so much fucking land. You can't even imagine and there's no rules There's no like epa. Yeah, you just yank whatever you want on the ground You can pollute whatever the fuck you want so it's like they understand where they play in this game We're like natural resources. That's it. That's what we do and their access to europe is through ukraine So all those pipeline select kind of stuff if you want to get their shit to europe It's got to go through ukraine But nobody is trying to go over to russia as a passage country and it's also like they're a strong ass military Who's trying to actually nobody's trying to rush what what happened to them especially europe? Yeah, it's like it's gonna come from one of the other the u.s. Or china or somebody is not gonna come from ukraine No, no, but what happens is if you have that landmass It's way easier to attack russia one And two it's way harder for them to defend So now they're gonna have to defend triple the landmass that they would have to before Why would you fuck with russia is my point But why would you why would any of those smaller european countries fuck with russia when they can just drop a new Well, everybody can drop nukes right so In europe nobody can just drop a new maybe germany Yeah, no, I think they're european countries nukes for sure. I don't I don't know I don't I don't I just I just think it's something bigger going on that we don't know and I just wanted I feel like china's a wild card Europe wants to expand Right and they would like to expand into the former ussr. We're the former soviet union right the soviet now There's all these countries that i thought russia wanted to reform the soviet union exactly So now you have these two converging ideologies So this is europe going hey, we want to bring more of these countries into nato and russia going Actually, not only do we not want that to happen. We want to get back to the soviet union We want to get back to ussr. Yeah. Yeah, right? So if you see nato continue to advance russia's going to view that as An actual threat. Yeah When russia insecure hell, yeah As they should be yeah, I mean they're a global player because of natural gas and all that kind of stuff But in terms of like gdp, they're not do they make this move without the china alliance Apparently china told him wait until after the olympics. That's what I heard. Yeah, I read that Isn't that crazy? Yeah, not really. So boss is talked What do you think chris hot take final hot take I don't know what I mean Did you guys discuss the theory that basically putin has a chronic disease? Yes, probably parkinson. Yeah. Yeah Nobody has any value in that. Yeah, I bought that up figure it out. I can't figure out what the motivation is Yeah, I don't I don't see that's why I think he's some type of decoy man That's the main reason I think he's some type of decoy now Can you make sense of this stuff if you sit down? Yes, he's giving us a bunch of different reasons But those are those actually the reasons I don't know Who knows I don't know you know what fucked me up today. I was reading about the uh The the children's hospital that they say the russian military blew up Right, and that's the Pelosi gave a statement on it. But then russia was like that's fake news We did not blow up a children's hospital. We took over a children's hospital Russia always says everything's fake news, right? When war starts truth dies, that's a famous quote. I don't know who said it and that's on both sides That's right. You should take credit for that. No, no, no, no You can't remember who said it. It's a showtie. Yeah, there it is. Yeah I don't know who said it It's Mark Twain Will Smith, but it's like so so everything right now is complete fake news on both sides Like all the ukrainian stories that we're hearing like the ghost of Kiev you heard about that was a video game If everything so, but no, you know, that was a video. I was an actual video game Oh the footage that they used the footage was from a video game That she wasn't even real you talking about the fighter pilot from ukraine that shot down six russian jets Of course, it was a fucking video game. You just want to win the pr war, right? And if it makes you feel good it continues it stays and that's the same thing happened in russia the same thing happened over here And the same thing happening and i'm sure uh, what's going in the ukraine? So it's like you have to be very You have to be very delicate with the things that you digest from the war because naturally we gravitate towards the thing That make us feel good. I love that ghost of Kiev story. I want to be that motherfucker like I get into a You know a jet and defend my city like you can buy the video They told me the name of the game but the funny shit about that You know it's so funny about that everything andrew is saying is true. It's hilarious to me when you're debating with people and they say things like Dancing Pelosi said this and this and that oh now you want to believe the government? I don't believe nothing these motherfuckers nothing i'm not believing russia. I'm not believing america I'm just listening to both sides america said this happened russia said it's fake news I don't know who's telling the truth. I'm not over there. That's all we even know gas prices up That's right, and then they say but there's video That don't mean that that video is actually that scenario You know what i'm saying like it's like the ghost of russia. That was from a video game Demo that shit was not real. So yes, they might show you a video of a building getting blown up and people being carried out We don't know if that's going on In the ukraine right now. We don't know i'm not saying it's not We know who we want to win and we probably support all the things that show that they're doing a good job And they're killing who i want to win who america get these goddamn gas prices down Okay, well that's the that's the fucked up thing if you think about it like Like saudi arabia said that they're not gonna start um, they're not gonna what is it called? I don't know then it's not more drilling of gas. What is it called extracting more gas? I think i'm gonna pump more gas. I don't know what the term is but Basically gas make gas Yank it out of the earth. Yeah Yeah, so basically saudi arabia said they see that the you know gas price of the highest they've ever been is 150 dollars About and like saudi increased production the increased production. Thank you So it's like and saudi arabia exists because we allow them to exist Like don't get it fucking twisted. Like you're there to give us fucking gas, bitch Do you know what i mean? Like so If we don't run that fucking shit on no because that shit got me tight It's like we give it a fucking weapons We give it a support the only reason they exist is because we protect them so that they can't exist And then we're out here going. Yeah, we might need you to uh, you know, uh, what is it called? What is it called again? Increased production of gas because we're hurting over here And the only reason that you haven't been invaded by every one of your fucking neighbors Is because we make sure you're not invaded by every one of your fucking neighbors And you're not going to print any more gas. I'm tired. I'm tired of increased production. I'm tired. Come on now, yo I think I'm tired of that shit got me tight. I think you are there because of our kindness Yes, but I think I'm tired of america being the world's police Say what I'm tired of america being the world's Well, let us see the world's use the gas people by the way, that's what you know That's one thing that trump was saying that's why trump wanted to take america out of nato Which I don't agree with because that definitely would have been a green light to russia But he wanted he just wanted the europeans to pay more. Yeah He wanted the europeans to pay a bigger share fair share fair share. Hey what you're supposed to pay And they wasn't even doing that to another point all of a sudden they're gonna think it's important to pay Now when wars pop up They're like maybe we should give a two percent of our gdp to protect ourselves because now you see it's real I was sitting back thinking about uh, I was like damn. Okay, so they cutting off, you know Biden signed the executive order to cut off russia's um The cut off the oil coming in from russia, right? So i'm like, okay now somebody's about to get paid because somebody got to provide the oil Chris, I remember you telling me this a while ago. Was it venezuela? Venezuela Venezuela and iran or the two countries that stand around the country We've been beefing with like crazy all of a sudden that's the homies But wasn't there some type of beef with venezuela too when I was all good Their whole government because they wasn't fucking with us and they just let they let two prisoners go because now they know But they about to make some cash off america, of course Of course But this is what nobody wants with knowledge when we sit here and we bicker with each other about bullshit This is the game Everybody's watching exactly how it goes now. We are talking to iran Remember the whole thing when we were just beefing with iran for the last fucking 20 years. Yeah All of a sudden now we best friends because we're buying oil, of course. Yeah. Yeah, it's all charade That's why these politicians. I don't trust none of them what they say because when the shit gets real They're on their knees sucking dick from oil from all these motherfuckers they was talking shit about What if there's oil in those dicks? Well, that's what the fuck they're doing get down your knees Start sucking Sam it's yes, it's funny when it's a guy. It was That's the game, bro They got to do it. They got to do it. That's your job you work for the people right? What do the people need oil? Y'all you y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all probably listening to andrian like son that sounds fucked up But it's you aren't whether you call it that a kissing ass. Yeah. That is a politician's job Second dick. Yes! Yes! Yes! It's a reason to say you got to go shake all the hands, kiss all the babies. You got to go be cool with people that... That's what they call... That's what being diplomatic is. You got to go be cool with people who you weren't necessarily cool with. You know, you might have to make some peace with your enemies because now we're in a fucked up position. You think that they thought in a million years they'd have to put sanctions on Russia again? Again. Do you think that anybody thought that after the Cold War and World War II they would ever have to do this again? Now they got to go find other oil supplies. That's why it was so easy to give people like Venezuela your middle finger. I don't need y'all, but guess what? Now we need you. Now we need you. Now things are cool. That's right. That's it. We know what the fuck this shit is, bro. I get it. All right, let's do some asking idiots, man. And get the fuck apart of y'all. I get all charged up all this shit, man. I love it. I just love it, too. I love it. I love it. I love hearing shows talk politics. I really do. They're all phonies, dude. Why the fuck you didn't do Mario yet, bro? Say again? Why you didn't do Bill Mario yet? I don't know. You got to make that happen. Shows need to be on Bill Mario. What we got? Y'all seen the Batman? No, I have not seen the Batman. I don't support DC. I haven't seen the Batman myself. You don't support DC? No. Batman is Batman. I'm a Marvel guy. No, Batman is Batman. Batman is the outside. You know I'm sick of Batman? Why? Because they keep telling us over and over how the fuck he became Batman. Don't you think we know it at this point? Do I really need to know the whole backstory and his cares getting killed? But you can't say that. Why do they keep telling us this shit over and over? If you're a Marvel fan, you can't say that because they do the same thing. No, they don't. Yeah, they'll Spider-Man you up. No, they don't. You can't Spider-Man no more. No, they don't. No, they don't. No, they don't. No, they don't. Listen, Spider-Man is on his third movie, right? We good on that. We don't need no more. They keep trying to sell us this Batman shit over and over. They should have left it alone at the Dark Knight. The Dark Knight with the cream and the crop. There's nothing after that trilogy they can do. Yeah, but he's incredible. You need to humble him because the character is unlikable. Batman? Yeah, like if he doesn't have a fucked up origin story, he's just some rich dude that got all the technology and just beats up poor people. Yeah. I bet you in that movie. I'm mentally unstable people. I'm mentally unstable people. I believe that. He's an orphan. His parents got shot right in front of him. Then it's like, oh, okay. You don't feel sorry for him. He's a billionaire. He don't feel sorry for a billionaire. This Aaron don't feel sorry for nothing that happened to a billionaire ever. It don't give a fuck that your parents got killed. They want to hit both sides. I'm serious. They saw the Joker and they feel like he deserved it now. I don't want to spoil the movie, but you hear both sides. Really? You hear both sides. Really? We saw the Joker though. We know the other side. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. You hear both sides, bro. Really? Batman was fucking the wife. The Joker wife. What do you mean when you say you hear both sides? You hear what? Man, there's a lot of fake news out there, bro. There's a lot of fake news out there. It was a murder suicide. You don't know what it is. Bruce's daddy killed the mom. You don't know what it is until you watch the movie, bro. Something happened. When that shit come on one of these screaming services, I'll go see it. There's no way in hell I'm going to a movie theater to see a DC film ever. I like DC villain films. Joker was fire. Harley Quinn was fire. All that other shit. No. No. Okay. What we got? Give us some asking idiots. Oh, this is a good one. Taco Slayer. Yo, you remember when fucking weren't all the pilots that took down the fucking Twin Towers from Saudi Arabia? Chris, weren't they from Saudi Arabia? They were from the Middle East. The majority of them. They were, right? And remember when we just kind of let that shit slide? Remember that shit? And now they're not going to fucking increase oil production. Sons of bitches. Andrew's back. Take that oil for our damn sales. They left Saudi Arabia a slide? Yeah, they let them fucking slide. You could sue Saudi Arabia as like a private citizen, I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, Chris, like on some civil suit, right? Yeah, I mean, look, there are, they in Israel are our closest allies in the Middle East. And I guess the idea is that's worth more than their involvement in 9-11. But, you know, U.S. doesn't want to mess with that relationship for whatever reason. Tell the boys. Tell the boys it's time. Stop fucking around with this diplomacy. But where are you going to get your oil from then? Dicks. We go in there. We go in there. It's our oil now. No, the answer is we got to wean ourselves off of oil. No, no, no, no, that is the answer. That is the answer. No, no. That is the answer. Elon Musk is about to be the man. And then they're going to take him out in 10 years. You got to wean yourselves off oil. We need new resources. Yeah, we need some new resources. But until then, we're going to need some oil. And if they keep acting up, then, you know, it's going to have to be We 30 years behind. We 30 years behind with new energy resources, bro. We 30 years behind with new energy resources.

See I respect people like that because that's how podcast Yeah, I started doing a podcast but I'm saying people who you didn't know before Open up the microphone before podcasts were real celebrity driven is what I'm saying. You know what I mean Oh, yeah, you know where these guys are celebrities. They were before the biggest thing on YouTube Okay, okay, so it's like or maybe mr. Beast is the biggest thing But they're one of the biggest things on YouTube like Massive tons of views they start the podcast and they're able to you know leverage their relationships all these people They're probably famous and get them on podcast. You don't often have like a Trump You don't have a day in Hawaii at all these people, you know doing it So they've been doing some some interesting videos. I was watching a little bit of the I watched a little bit of the Trump one I haven't seen it yet. I'm gonna watch it today Hey, let's look through the full sin podcast. But yeah, all right Taco Slayer says you guys think you could beat Putin in a fight Well, if the Parkinson's is true and then also he is he pops up The guy in Saudi Arabia that's not turning on the oil I got a truck and I ain't got time for this shit I seen the picture of Putin fighting the bear Yeah, who's could be the UFC fighter who really be fighting bears. Yeah, he grew up fighting bears. Yeah, let me see, bro I'm fighting bears. Yeah, same as Khabib Nermago met off Yo back Putin wrestles with bears, bro. It's the one K8. He wrestles with him. Then he rides them Not you you believe He turns bad no horses, bro. That's a crazy picture, bro. Yeah, you're you need to stop believing everything Look at Putin. No, that's definitely not food. That's could be right there. Not if I put it on instagram and say it's Putin That's true I put that video on instagram and say Putin wrestling with bears. They gonna say it's Putin But that's a nice bear that pair one to fucking destroy this guy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah He had no chance with that brown bear especially maybe a black bear you might get away from that brown crazies That's not a big bear, but even them puppies are strong as fuck. They are Oh, wow, man, we got five minutes to them fighting bears. That's crazy. You ain't fucking with Putin, bro Look at Putin Putin handling that bear, bro Bro, come on. Let's go to another question We've already started a jail political war healing the brilliant idiots It was very simple. There's a Saudi Arabian podcast that used to be fans of the brilliant idiots. Now they want smoke They're gonna get a lot of smoke if they don't start turning on the fucking oil producers, what do they call that? Increased oil production. Come on. Tell I don't like none of these questions I like this Baikou art is battle rap bullying Are still in art form Shout out to my god Pat stay man. Do you know Pat stays? No, he is a battle rapper and he is hilarious and his battle raps Are are kind of like comedy roasts like I've seen some of the battle rap shit And it's like this is like wild personal and like it's dark and fucked up I'm gonna kill you and I found out about your mom didn't love you and all that kind of shit His shit is is like roast but funny and sometimes you'll see the dude that he's Wrapping against start to break and laugh and I'm like, oh, this is a really interesting way of doing this Because it removes like any sort of like potential Violent you know why you there say what so you know why you're there Yeah, it's like hey We're going at who could be kind of funnier and who could roast the other one better Like if you were roasting some dude and you know you on a bus like it's not I'm gonna say the meanest thing It's like how do I get everybody around here laughing? My mama, yeah, exactly the reason I like this question and I We can end on this question the reason I like this question Is because I think it's an art form the reason I think it's an art form is because you know what you signed up for But I also think comedy is an art yeah bullying can be an art from martial arts like A lot of things that are art forms. They've turned to bullying Yeah Is what I'm saying how you use it if you're a comedian and you're on a stage and you're roasting somebody in the front row If you're a battle rapper and your battle rappers are super violent, right? So if I talk about shooting you 20 times I don't really mean it You know I'm saying it just sounds good when you rhyme 40 with shorty and the cow make you you know But certain things that be said you'd be like fam. I don't know how you come back from that. Yeah They'll bring up people kids sometimes and you'd be like fam. What is even going on up here? What if a boxer boxer signed up to get punched in the face? Yeah By the way, that's by the way, that's another great example So when they have these press conferences when they sell in the fight and they tell each other sm suck my d And f you kids and all this and that do they really mean it or they just sell in the fight fam fam There's a thing. So there's a fighter named Colby Covington who just beat uh Jorge masvid all this past Right and he's trying to promote a fight or he would like to do a fight with Dustin poria Can you guys know Dustin poria great fighter as well and I thought he was retired I'm not thinking about Daniel never mind and basically what happened is Colby said, uh, he goes Now Dustin has a wife And connor alleged that doesn't connor mcgregor alleged that doesn't poria's wife DM'd him Right. They also have a kid together named parker now Now Colby Covington said hey Dustin get that jazabelle of the wife of yours And connor's kid parker Implying that Dustin's wife Dustin's kid is not his kid But actually connor mcgregor's kid on down to los vegas and let's have this fight. That is like wildly personal Even But she didn't fight it. This is a fight game. Like this is like I watch boxing you watch boxing say Type of shit. Wow. So for me. I don't know if I care as much Like I grew up on hip hop culture Does she deal If she really deal and might hurt if she didn't is like, ah, there's a screen No matter I grew up on hip hop coach. I grew up on tupac saying, you know, I'm saying that's why I fucked you You fat motherfucker. Yeah I'm not able to say it right now because he really did it He fucking he fucked as well. I don't know if you did he did though. No, she said she said it didn't happen You're right. Oh, she said it never happened. She said it didn't happen. What do they do? We grew up with with not saying he left con with jayden saying he left condoms In on another baby mama's baby seat, like I don't know if he left that but but maybe they had sex made him and I I don't know. I'm just saying like that's like regular. You're you're trying to get into somebody's head Right Because of that people did die It was too thorough for that to be able to say I fucked your wife and then do it That's kind of corny I don't know I don't know all I'm saying is I've heard worse things is what I'm saying. Yeah, but and then worse things happen I'm just saying like bringing like kids into that shit. Like this is different though because you know the context of a fight I'm fighting you. I'm trying to get in your head I'm trying to fuck you up. And by the way, you said they're trying to they're trying to get the fight made, right? Yeah, so I'm trying to force you to fight me Yeah, I want to say anything I'm gonna force you to sign this contract by saying the wildest shit So you sign this motherfucking contract and get and bring your ass in this ring And also it's kind of like a good deal What do you think about it? Because it's like how much would somebody have to pay me in order to insult my child And allow me to beat them up for it because it's not like you don't also get to fight the man And say some shit about you, but you got to win that fight If that man is social child, and then you get in that ring and get knocked out Now I'm your daddy. Now I'm your daddy. Yeah, okay And your girl have to smash because you already my DMs So that's why you don't pay enough though. You're right Because for me I don't know exactly how much they get like maybe 500 a meal or something like that First it's like, oh, I'm taking home 40 million dollars. I might be okay. Would you send a whole bunch of crazy shit? I got 40m from the work Imagine the fight that he calls in the house though, you got to go ask your girl.
