How was your week? Why are you doing that African accent at the end of it? What accent? That's not an accent. Yes, you did. No, I wasn't. Hezzy. Hezzy. That's, I feel like that's kind of an African accent. Where is this coming from? Take one trip to fucking Mozambique. I'm African. Yeah. That's a native accent right there. This is my native tongue. Word to try. I call it Quest of De La Soul. All right. Listen, don't worry about my week. I want to know about your week. You, I want to talk about Nikki Haley, but first I want to talk about this breakfast club rollouts that you guys did. How you feeling? Oh, I feel good. Yeah. Do you like just because you don't get to toy with the media. You don't get to toy with the online. I do it all the time. But not like this. This was like... This is the first time I ever told people I told them I'm toying with them. Oh, you're saying all the other times you've been to it. But this was like beautiful. Oh, it was amazing. It was amazing. I mean, the hardest part about stuff like this is just getting everybody else to be patient. Yeah. Because you know me, I can slow walk it out. You know, I can slow grind a goddamn troll all day long. Now, have any people acknowledged you toying with them? I haven't paid attention. I really haven't. You just checked out. Because you paid attention before. I paid attention enough to be able to get enough for those clips to put together, to put that trailer. You know what I mean? So you were just collecting the lines that people were saying for a month? It was three weeks when I went out. It was three weeks. Because the first thing I was... When we came back from break, from breakfast club, from the holidays, I was just like, well, we haven't acknowledged just announcing it, right? You know what I'm saying? We haven't acknowledged it. So why not continue to play stupid? And so I already knew that playing stupid would take a life of its own. Like, I literally... Telling all of them stuff, I told you. I'm like, I said, if we play stupid, it's going to take a life of its own. And then, you know, I'm like, okay, after this week, it'll probably catch on. And our digital team was like, should we put out clips? I'm like, no, let them find it on their own. So they found us playing stupid on their own. What's the example? What's the first thing? Me just acting like, yo, man, last year, we was rotating guest hosts, you know? And I thought we were supposed to start to do a year with a new co-host. What happened, right? Knowing that, not acknowledging anything, not acknowledging Jess, not acknowledging... Is she on the show at this point? No. So she's not even sitting in. It's just you and me. No, she was always supposed to start February. She was literally always supposed to start February 5th. Literally. That was Jessica Robin Moore's start date. Did you start the play when she announced at like some show that she's... I was on vacation at Zanzibar. No, but I mean, was that the start of it? Like, did you say, oh, announce this, and then we're going to make it seem like they took it back or that they didn't agree with it? No, that was real. Oh, so she actually... No, that was real. But that actually helped. I thought it was great. It helped it. It was great. It was like, yo, because it shows people, it shows you how much people care about being in that position. But I mean, the whole past three weeks of the rollout showed you how much people care about that particular position. And it shows you that Jess is absolutely the one, which we all... Which you already knew. You know what I mean? I mean, it's just when she did that comment and she taking photos with... Isn't everyone's going crazy? Oh, that was step three without even trying. First step was us... First step was Jess announcing that, but that was real. Second step was us coming back acting clueless. Third step was me like, oh, I'm going to do whatever the other celebrity does. Because, you know, when you start playing clueless, right? And that goes viral. People start hitting you. So all the different outlets and stuff start hitting you. So when TMZ hits you, it's like, meet me at the radio station Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Meet me at the radio station Tuesday at 10 o'clock. So make sure I wear my nice coat, you know what I'm saying? Make sure I wear my nice coat, you know? Walk out the door. Act surprised. Full to be. Show me what's up with Jess. Huh? That huh? That huh, man. Yeah, you got the acting down. That huh. Okay, so... So I already know what that's going to do. TMZ, right? Boom. So that goes out. And then everything else was just like, I had another thing that nobody called on to. But I tell you how just the universe works. So first, yeah, it was Jess's announcement, which was real. Then be acting clueless. Me and Evie acting clueless. Totally acting. TMZ totally acting. And then the very next week was, I had to throw him sitting in the studio. I remember that. Oh, yeah. But nobody really picked up on it. I just had it sitting in there. If we were still on BT, I think they would have. You think so? Yeah. How many things do you think you did that didn't get picked up on? It was just that one. Okay. And then, but it still ended up working out because me and Evie was having a conversation about marriage, oblige, and sizzle, right? So that ends up going viral. And so we're sitting around and Jess is like, I should post this shit on y'all. I'm like, yeah, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it. All right. And then what did she post? She was just like, they're stupid. These motherfuckers is trash. Yeah. You know. Like something about old heads or something like that. You old heads, did you Evie shut up? And then people start going, oh, shit. She lost something. Oh, she's mad. Yeah, oh, she's mad. She saw him. Yeah, oh, she saw him. Oh! We sitting in a photo shoot laughing our asses off, crying, laughing at the idiocracy that exists on social media. But what really- It's amazing the confidence that people will say things that they have absolutely- Bro. Unbelievable. But I know we do that for a living, too, but- No, it's different with us. Amazing. No, it's different with us. Well, why is it different? Because we're brilliant idiots. Because we're professional idiots. We're not acting like we know. No, no, no. These people are acting like they know. And these are just our theories. These people are literally saying, I heard. And my source is saying- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is what I know. Got it, got it. Like, no, it's a difference. Yeah, we just talking shit. They just- Yes. Yeah, yeah. And so that happened. And then Cam Newton, that was real. Cam comes on Breckwith Club. Cam asked what just was. We play clueless, right? Oh, wow. That was real. Beautiful. But you can't stage that kind of stuff. And then after that, it's just like, all right, everybody relax. We got enough. Everybody be patient. I know it's getting crazy. I know you feel like saying, fuck some of these people, just relax. Monday at nine o'clock, it will be all worth it. You know what I'm saying? It will be all worth it. And you know what I'm saying? You let people do the talking for you. And even the people on this- Now, what do the trolls do? What do you mean what the trolls do? Like, after you do something like this, where you have manipulated all these people, and they're going on their platforms, they're going to have my sources say, and I know exactly what's going on, and blah, blah, blah. Do you think- Do they ever come out and be like, yo, I was got or do they just move on? None of them will admit they was wrong. You know what I'm saying? None of them will admit they got, got. Some of them, I haven't seen anything, but I'm sure some of them will probably try to come up with other conspiracy theories. I think I saw somebody say- She was originally fired, but then they brought her back. Yeah, it was a breach of contract, and they had to bring her back. Like, shut the fuck up. Y'all not tired of being loud and wrong? Shut the fuck up. And by the way, there was people that I saw say it. There was like people that said, oh, this is a stunt. Like I added them. I mean, it was a stunt. It was a stunt. That's what I'm saying. So they got it right. So with the Claudia Jordan and Al Reynolds, Al Reynolds, you know, like they were discussing it on Claudia, on the Fox Soul show. And they were like, I think this is a stunt. That's why we use them last. Before we revealed, yes, it was a stunt. Thank you, everybody, for the free promotion. We appreciate it. I mean, just genius. But think about this, right? Just- We know psychological operations happens. We know informational warfare happens. Imagine what they're doing to us on the highest levels. Yeah. If you can do this to the whole hip-hop blog community, what can the government do to us? My God. Did you- Oh, you didn't see that NBC News article that came out yesterday? No. Oh, my God. About what? Chris, what's in it? You were right, Chris. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The NBC News article came out yesterday. Hold on. This shit is fake news. YouTube creators target black celebrities with AI-generated misinformation. Some channels pivoted from tech review videos to misinformation about black celebrities bringing in millions of views. NBC News did a whole thing about it. How it's just these people on YouTube who create these accounts. They take, for example, they use Diddy for an example. They had a picture of Diddy getting arrested back in the day. And it was like, Diddy arrested for such and such and such and such. And it gets millions of views. They'll have AI-generated content of Steve Harvey saying different things. Like, they do that with so many people. Like, I've done digital forensics on shit that's on YouTube about me before. Where that shit came back from, Chris, where was the majority ever coming from? India or someplace like that? Yeah. There was an article in The Times to begin to- I mean, it ranges from posts that get millions of views to posts that generate a couple hundred dollars, but it's worth it. So they profile a story. There's a 19-year-old kid who went to a private school in Manhattan on New Year's Eve. He got run over by a train. I think he fell under the tracks in Manhattan. But they picked it up in India. What they do is they search for anything that's trending. Right? So I guess a lot of people in his circle in New York were talking about it. So they picked it up and they realized that people wanted more information about it. So they essentially just wrote a fake story saying he'd been stabbed in the Bronx in a train station. What? Yeah, but they put it out and it picked up traction. And his friends and parents got very upset because that's not what happened. Absolutely. He fell under the tracks. You know, I can't speculate, but he was run over in Manhattan. He wasn't stabbed in the Bronx. But the guy? Yeah. 19-year-old kid. But the guy in India was like, hey, man, I made 70 bucks off of this. Oh, he's like, I need the views. 70 fucking dollars. Yeah. And he's like, I saw the people were looking about this story. There was no other information. I couldn't find anything. So it seems like a lot of people get shot and killed in the Bronx. So that's what I said. Did you see the ship Rogan posted? What did Rogan pull? The fake deep of him? Say what? It was the fake deep of him? No, this is a deep fake. What else is it? Fake deep. Look at this. Deep fake of him. So let's expose the mainstream media today. Check out the post at article by the Hill. Notice this picture. Protesters outside the New York courtroom with anti-Trump signs. It's not even New York. How does this pick make you feel? If you love Trump, this may upset you. The weaponization of the justice system. If you hate Trump, this may vindicate you knowing there are people out there that understand your cause and protesting on your behalf. Either way, you were manipulated to feel that way by the fake news. Check out this video. This is the actual video of this picture. It's like three people. There's three people there. Two protesters. 30 media accounts filming it so that they can post. Check this out. Did a quick, reverse lookup on this picture. Can you see how many news articles this picture was used all over the world? Information award video. Are you still scrolling? The same exact fake pic used to manipulate your mind. I saw people getting mad at Nancy Pelosi this week and Nancy Pelosi was on a... They could never get mad at her. She was on CNN and she was talking about how when it comes to Israel and Palestine, a lot of this stuff you see as far as protesters and stuff, she was like, it's Russian propaganda or something like that. And they got mad at her. I'm showing some truth to that. I'm positive it's some truth to that. Every country in the world that is our enemy will do anything they can to support any sort of disagreement going on in America. It doesn't matter if it's Black Lives Matter versus Blue Lives Matter. It doesn't matter if it's Israel, Palestine. Anytime there's friction here, they're going to put some fucking gas on it. Play that clip, Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. It just... People are so outraged because... It looks like she's undermining the movement because they're like, no, we're here. We're here to support. It's a real movement. Yeah. But like you said, they're pouring gas on it. 100%. As we would do in every other country as well. If there's a movement happening in Iran... We'll do it. Of course. I know people who are in the military on the Syops departments. You are a liberal cuck... What do they call you? What do they call you? You are a liberal shill. You are a liberal shill. You do work for the Democrats. But I know, I literally know people who work in Syops and the military. Really? Can we get them on the part? Play it, Taylor. No, they can't. But we have to think about what we're doing. And what we have to do is try to stop the suffering and gossip. This is women and children. People don't have a place to go. So let's address that. But for them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin's message. This is what I don't understand, right? Because all I heard was nuance. Do people not understand nuance anymore? No, no, this is not exactly that. I think that this is propaganda too. She's saying that calling for a ceasefire is Putin's message. And it's like, I'm pretty sure the people there would like there to be a ceasefire. Absolutely. I'm pretty sure the people who have families there would like there to be a ceasefire. So I think that this is propaganda to support. She's obviously pro-Israel in this situation. And well, of course, she's not going to be pro-Hamas. But yeah, I think that there's some propaganda going on here. So I understand the pushback. Yeah, I do agree with what she said about she believes that some of this stuff is spontaneous and organic. But if you're, for example, if America's government is supporting Israel in this conflict, of course, any country that's going against America is going to support any support of the opposition. And in this case, that is, I guess, ceasefire because you can't say, yo, I support Hamas. Absolutely. Yeah. But do you believe what she said about how some of this is spontaneous and organic, but some of it is probably orchestrated by Russians? Yeah, I mean, I think that they're putting gas on it. I don't think that orchestrated means that they're the ones that have started it, put it out there, and it was their inception. I just think that Iran, Russia, any other country is putting gas on it. China is probably putting gas on it. Yeah, I was telling Charlemagne, when I was in Taiwan, it was right before their big election, which China was very much trying to sway through social media. And I was talking to a guy who's pretty high up in those things in global politics, and I was like, are you concerned about that? And he's like, why are you asking me if I'm concerned about? Aren't you concerned about what's happening right now in America? And I was like, what are you talking about? He goes, Russia and China are the ones pouring gas on what's happening in Gaza. He's like, the whole world sees that. You're asking us about Taiwan. The entire world is looking at the U.S. in camp. He's like, obviously what's happening is terrible, but if you look at this from a global political perspective, the U.S. interests are not with Iran and Russia. And that's who's behind this. He's like, China doesn't even have to do anything in this. Yeah, because Iran and Russia are going to pay for the whole thing. Right. China is just sitting back and laughing. But it is difficult, right? Because I think a lot of people, you know, who doesn't want to ceasefire? Andrew Stereo is absolutely right. This is really happening. Yeah. It's just that people are throwing gas on an already out of control fire. And then it creates its own momentum. But the thing that's so confusing to me about the Israel-Palestinian conflict is that, like, I always ask people, I ask people, especially people who are, you know, some very supportive of the Palestinian side, I'm like, like, what do Palestinians want? I always ask this, like, what do they want? And I can't get it. It's not a two-state solution? That's not the answer I've been getting. And I go, like, give me, just tell me what it is. Is it 1967 borders? Like, just give me what they want. Because I hear a lot of ceasefire, right? But there was a ceasefire on October 6th. So I'm just like, what exactly is the goal here? What do you want? We don't have no Palestinians here. This is a very diverse studio. Here's the issue. We got a Jewish man right there. No, no, no. I think Palestinians know. And I think Palestinians there know. Italian? Italian. All like I just had. But no, I think the tricky thing here is that the supporters, I think the supporters don't know. And it's becoming very Black Lives Matter, the movement. In that the supporters are out there supporting because they think of it, it's the right thing to do. They see the videos of what's happening right there and they're like, I want to be on the right side of history. I think there's part of them. There's a lot of just, like, liberal white people. They're like, I want a virtue signal and show how good a person I am. But you ask them, you're like, what do Palestinians want? They can't give you an answer. They'll say ceasefire. But besides that, they're like, how do we stop this? And I would be very concerned about that if I'm on the Palestinian side because what happened with Black Lives Matter? White people are out there supporting all these lesbians and shit with their fucking pink hair throwing their fist up. And then you go, what does Black Lives Matter want? And then people are like, oh, I don't know. I just think Black Lives Matter. It's like, yeah, of course we all do. But what do they want? And then you saw what happened with the organization. But wouldn't the answer to that question be solving the crisis that's going on in the area? So it's like, they don't know exactly what they want. The crisis has been going on for a long time. That's what I'm saying. So it's like, but you asking them that can't answer. No, I'm asking what do Palestinians want? If you don't even know what the people you're supporting want, how can you support it? They just want a ceasefire. You guys talk to people who know it. Why do they want a ceasefire? They want them to stop dying. Like, they just, yeah, that's the major. So they're out there to be like, hey, I don't want people to die. I just want everybody to know I don't want people to die. So then you're out there for yourself. I guess my point is if you don't want, if you don't know what the people in the conflict want, you are there for you. I understand what you're saying. You're not there for them. You're there for you because you get to go, look how good a person I am. I don't want anybody, nobody wants people to die. There's a short-term solution and a long-term solution. The short-term solution is they want a ceasefire now. They want people to stop dying, right? On both sides, you don't want to see Palestinians die. You don't want to see people in Israel die. But then there's a long-term solution, which is how can we all get along in this region and make sure things like this stop happening? That's another thing. I would hope, but what I'm seeing is, I'm seeing a lot of virtue signaling in that I've asked these people that are so passionate, yet they don't even know what the people they're supporting want. And when I see that, I'm not saying this is every single person, but when I see that, I start to go, wait a minute, are you doing this to support them? How can you support people if you don't know what they want? Just say you don't believe in them, Shost. Say you don't believe in these people. Son, I don't. You don't believe in them. I do believe in them. I believe they're using those people so they can look cool online in the same way they did it with Black Lives Matter, the same way they did it with Ukraine. The Me Too movement. With the Me Too movement. Yeah. Whatever was trendy at the moment. So they hop in from trend to trend to trend and it's like, no, you're using the deaths of fucking innocent people so you can look like a good person online. That makes a very sour taste in my mouth. Go see how they felt about turtles. When the fucking climate change was a hot thing. Exactly. If you go see these. Oh, the straw's in the nose. That's what I'm telling you. Did you stop using plastic straws? I'm telling you. I did. Of course you did, Chris. Thank you. They don't work as well. He's one of the fucking problems. He's the fucking problem. Listen, I don't have a problem with people who care. You know what I mean? I have a problem. It's a good cause. It's a great cause. I mean, I want people to stop. Yeah, it's a great cause. I have a problem if you only care about you. If you care about other people, yes. But if you don't even know what they want, then how can you care about them? You just care. I think some people, not all, I think there are some people out there who just care that they look like a good person online. And that's where they're showing up. You saw those. They put the black square up. Probably they're in Black Lives Matter. I get what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. All their white bitches that would go to the Black Lives Matter march for two minutes, take a picture, and then leave. Remember they did that? People are doing this. I understand what you're saying. I saw them singing at the Holland Tunnel. I didn't show you the video I took. No. They holding hands in front of the Holland Tunnel. I got a video singing this song. Seize fire now. Seize fire now. So I got it in my phone right now. I got a dude trying to go to Jersey. Hey, yo, fuck the Seize fire. Let me go back to Jersey. No. Yes. Let me see. Hey, hey, hey, we in America. Oh my God. I need to go home. By the way, we don't talk about those people enough. Those people don't care about what's going on because they are dealing with their lives. They're trying to survive. They trying to keep food on their table, a roof over their head. Tell me, I got to take this serious, yo. You think these people care about it? Now the song is a bop. Hang on, the song goes on. This is not a protest, Andrew. You made it sound like I thought it was gonna be two thousand people. No! It's like the video in front of the Trump town. But they're stopping people from getting on the tunnel. They're not letting people go to the tunnel, bro. Yeah, that's crazy. Listen, man. It's a great, listen, I get it. It's a great call, but I understand what Andrew's saying, too. It is some people who, it's the people who chase the trends that make it bad for the real activists who are really out there on this front line. That's what they're people who really do care. They know what the positive people want. They know about the future. They care about this. They're not just doing it for virtuosity. They've actually been supporting this, this cause their whole life. They've literally been their whole life. This is what they've dedicated their life to. And then there are other people who are using that shit so they can look cool online so they can be this woke progressive person, but don't give a flying fuck about all those people that are dying. And to them, I'm like, Al, you turn your head side to side, but I'm talking about you. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not posted. What are you talking about? No, but I do think that you can see what's happening over there, feel bad about it, and think that if I post, at least I'm doing something, at least I'm getting the word out there. That's true. And then you apply pressure to your politicians who are supposed to, because if, if a politician's seeing everybody on that grant, what are you saying to ceasefire? I get what you're saying. No, but that's the word. You don't even know what word they're getting out there. No, to ceasefire. Like, they want- They trying to get pussy off Palestine, bro. They trying to get some DMs. They trying to get some DMs. Oh, God, thank you for your support. Oh, words. Oh, that's the stuff. Trying to get pussy off Palestine. Let's go out to dinner. We want to eat pork. What, you know what I mean? Like, they're trying to do some- I see what both of y'all are saying, because it's a nuanced thing. I walk in my neighborhood. I would see Black Lives Matter fucking posters. The second the Ukraine ship popped, take it down. Ukraine poster. Gay week or whatever it is. Rainbow posters. I get it, I get it. It's a costume these people wear. I get what you're saying. And that's not to say they aren't real people. They're about that fucking life. It's plenty of real people, but those people, the people you're talking about make it bad for the real. Yes. These singing ass motherfuckers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With their faces covered, all of them fuck out of here. And I get what I was just saying, that whenever there's a call to action, when people are sitting around and they feel like they want to do something, this is the easiest thing to do. Yeah. The easiest thing to do. Thank you. The easiest thing to do is pick up a phone, put a black square, tweet something about, you know, whatever. I get it. I understand what you're saying. I have a lot of empathy for the Palestinian people who are like, we just need support. Anybody support. So they're going to take these people's support because they're like, yo, we just need support. I'm sure they're very grateful. Not even realizing. Absolutely. I'm sure black people, y'all felt the same way when it was like, yo, people are murdering us. Can we get some support? And then these white bitches are out there at the, and you're like, okay, white bitches are supporting us. And then you see them leave the walk immediately. And you're like, well, hold on one second. How long were they at that walk? You get a little example. That is so crazy. No, I get what you're saying. I get it. You're not, listen, I get it. It's very hard to get people to see the nuance of all situations. Like I was just having this conversation about what's going on at the border because we talked about it last week, but I can't. What's going on at the border? I think it's changing now because remember, even last week, you was talking about it was MAGA messaging, right? But what I'm trying to explain to people, if you talk to these activists in Chicago, if you talk to people in New York, black people, it's not about that. All they care about is the fact that these people are getting resources just getting in this country and it's resources that they don't have. It's really just that simple. But you'll have different organizations who can sympathize with the people at the border, but you don't sympathize with black people in Chicago. You don't sympathize with people in New York. 100%. Who aren't getting the resources they're getting, who are being inconvenienced. And it's just like, why can't we ever see the totality of all these? Sounds like what you're saying is America first. Yes. And there's nothing wrong with that. We got it. I literally said that. I literally said America first. Let's stop and pay some bills and salute Ketum, man.

No. And then maybe in the future, I will actually watch it. You know what fucked me up? I'm going to tell you what fucked me up. I went to go watch it this weekend. Yeah. And then I saw that the Marvels was on Amazon Prime and I hadn't watched the Marvels yet. What's the Marvels? The Marvels with the women from Marvel. But I'm watching, I'm watching it this weekend. They gave the girl one to Amazon? I'm watching it this weekend. You didn't want that one? No, no, no. It comes out next week. It comes out on Disney. Oh, it's on Amazon. I didn't realize Prime Video would be having all the movies. Like still, there's some theaters and shit. Only if they have a deal with them. Yeah, I didn't know that. So I saw it out there and I'm like, oh, shit. I thought it was on Disney Plus, so I watched it. And then I'm watching the underdogs this weekend. Thank you, bro. No, I'm watching it this weekend. Thank you. Let me tell you how you just pitched my film. Yo, I was going to watch your shit. Then I saw some shit I wanted to watch more. So no, no, no, no, no. Then I saw the Marvel movie that did the worst ever in Marvel history. That shit was good, though. Man, stop. Y'all friending on that. She was like, why do people hate this shit? Support Snoop, bro. I'm supporting you and Snoop and Tanya. Yeah, I can you, man. Who did a CGI kiss in this one? So I need to give some good drama on this one, man. Shit, I wish I had some good, but I don't even have any good behind the scenes. I really don't have any. Come on, man. Make the movie pop, yo. All right, let me think. Let me think, let me think. Hold on, hold on. Everybody's starting buttoning it up around show. Yeah, man. That would give me nothing, bro. That would give me nothing. Yo, Benzino, shout out to Benzino. Benzino had one of the best usages of the word cracker I heard in a long time. Woo, give me. He called Eminem a cracker on crack on his new disc record. We should insert this. The funniest shit, right? We're talking... First of all, I thought the disc record was dope. I ain't gonna frown. I was like, damn. It's one of those things where you're like, you're not expecting it to be dope, right? But then you hear it and you're like, I don't know, Benzino kind of got off on this a little bit, right? So he called him a cracker on a crack. Man, I was laughing about it on Breakfast Club, so under the video of the Breakfast Club video, somebody goes, Charlamagne is so fucking racist. What if I said to him, a nigga on Snickers? What the fuck? A cracker on crack? A nigga on Snickers? They didn't make no sense, but that shit was funny. When I read it, a nigga on Snickers. As if niggas is addicted to Snickers. So wait, Eminem and Benzino are beefing again? Again. Maybe they never stopped it. We just started paying attention again. I want to tell everybody, make sure you go out there and pre-order Alice Randall's Bookman. Alice Randall has a book coming out called My Black Country, A Journey Through Country Music's Black Pass, Present in Future. It is the next release off my book, in print Black Privilege Publishing with Simon and Schuster. It will be out on April 9th, 2024, but you can pre-order right now. I actually just wanted to go look at it. It's the top no release in country music in pre-order. So thank you to everybody who's been pre-ordering My Black Country by Alice Randall, okay? I saw T-Pain talking about how he has written a bunch of country songs, and he didn't even, he never used to put his name on it, on the credits, because of the racism that exists in country music. So he was like, man, I'd rather get these checks. So I don't want nobody to know I'm writing these records. Where come from or what style they come in? All the people I know feel like it's not cool to listen to other genres of music. Country music is where I get all my harmonies. Country and gospel music. That's where all my harmonies come from. I wrote a lot of country songs. I stopped taking credit for it, because as cool it is to see your name in those credits and stuff like that, the racism that comes after it is just like, I'll just take the check. Don't put me on that. Yo, T-Pain's the man, bro. Never mind that. You know what I mean? I wonder if that racism still exists though, because when I think about Black Country, of course it's the first person, because my mind is Darius Rucka, 843 Charleston, South Carolina, all day hoody in the fucking blowfish. Wagon Wheel. But then also it's been so many dope Black artists that have been coming out in country over the last couple of years. Kane Brown comes to mind. Met Kane last year at the I Heart Radio Music Festival. Look up some other sales. Also, what's the other guy's name? Jelly Roll? Yeah, he's an honorator. No, but shout out to Jelly. Nah, what's that motherfucker's name? Ain't no pride in country music, Chris. Ain't no mountain, huh? Oh, Charlie Pride Black? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, look at him. I'm talking about like new artists. Yeah, yeah, like new people. Kane Brown is new. Little Nas X? He ain't not country. You think he's country? He started his country. Let me look it up. I was just looking at this shit this morning. But what's that? Morgan Wallace. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Morgan Wallace. Here's this guy. You missed that one. You missed that one. Son. You missed that? No, no, Taylor had a good one. Taylor, Taylor. Name him, Taylor. No, say who you just said, Taylor. Say who you just said. No, say who you just said was a great black country artist. No, she said Tim McGraw. I thought you just said country. Kane Brown, Jimmy Allen, Allison Russell. Sorry to say that. Ami's Tease Kei, Kaia. I'm sorry if I pronounced your name wrong. Brittany Spencer. Why is the team a-turning? Shy Carter. There's a lot of black country singers out. So I wonder if T-Pain still feels like that. But I'm saying all that to say, make sure you go pre-order My Black Country by Alice Randall. A journey through country music's Black past, present, and future. The next release off Black Frivoless Publishing. Thank you, Alice. What's the song you were shocked to find out the singer wasn't the race you expected them to be? Man, I was just singing this shit the other day. Walking in Memphis? No. What was the song I was singing on the radio, Taylor? I was just singing this shit, man. Color Me Bad was a- Not Color Me Bad. It wasn't all white, though. It was black, too. I was just singing this shit the other day. What was it? Oh. Are you talking about- It was a song about- I don't want no lips and chin. That song? You were singing that song? You were singing his song. Taylor? Sing your song. You're something else, Taylor. What race did you think was singing that song? I don't want no lips and chin. I don't want no lips and chin. I don't want no lips and chin. Yo, hold up. What color- That's actually Jack Harlow, though. It is Jack Harlow. I'm surprised Jack didn't get more smoke from that, Joe. Yo, I was jacking away with that. Even though I don't think he should have got smoke, just in this woke era of everybody being so sensitive, I'm mad people wasn't mad about that shit. Yeah. Just because. That's white privilege. Black artists can't sing that. I don't want no lips and chin. That's a good thing. Man, what was the song I'm gonna be mad at? Fuck, I can't remember this. I was just thinking it's an old song too that everybody likes, man. Bobby Caldwell? Yes, Bobby Caldwell. How do you know? I just looked it up. Yes. What's the name of it? What would you do for love? What would you do do for love? No, he's got a few. Bobby got a few. Bobby got a few. You tried everything and you won't give up. I was just thinking that shit. Soul, bro. I was like, damn, Bobby Caldwell was white. White people invented soul, man. You know what else? I didn't know it was white. I didn't know Queen was white. But Queen cuts both ways, too. What do you mean? The gate? Well, yeah. Yeah, but he's also Pakistani. Well, no, he's actually... He grew up in some... They have the ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep. Zora Rasta. How do you say it? Zora Strim? Yeah, Zora Rasta. But he's from Pakistan or India? Yeah, India. So I grew up thought Queen was white, which they are, but he's not. You probably thought they were black, right? I thought they were black. Another one bites the dust or something like that. Another one bites the dust. Dust. Doo, doo, doo. None of them bites dust. Doo, and we will, we will rock. That's not them? That's white rhythm, bro. That's Queen, right? Y'all hate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought they were black. Y'all fucking hate it. I met them, actually. I met them some years ago. I met both of them. It was two... I don't know how many he left. He didn't meet Freddie before he died. I fucking ate. Freddie Mercury. Yeah, he died of AIDS. Like 90. I met two of them, then. Prior to the guitar, it's big. How many of them? It's three of them. It was three of them, right? Four, no. Left. Three left. It's three that I met two of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Freddie Mercury, he's like... I mean, he's in Zanzibar. He's everywhere. He's God in Zanzibar. Really? He's from there. No, yeah. Well, he grew up there. Yeah, they claim... They claim Freddie Mercury big time in Zanzibar. Yeah, of course. Yeah, big time. I mean, he's a beast. Like, that band is incredible. Let's talk about, uh... Huh? Do I have what? Like, surprise artists? That I was shocked? Yeah. Oh, yes. Well, you said artists that you were shocked were white? Yeah. Kanye West. No, I know Kanye is white. No, no. I was shocked at the performers of the Seize Fire Now song. Oh, my God. I was shocked to find out they were white. I couldn't fathom that, that they were just white. Michael McDonald. Yeah. I kind of knew Michael was white. Really? But what's the song? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Keep Forgetting. Yeah, keep. Keep Forgetting. Oh. Yeah. Keep Forgetting. He's white? Yeah. Is there anybody not? See, I thought that was black, too. I never thought, I never thought he was black. That makes good music. Because at this point, I'm like, I think we're the only ones. Everybody had white soul back then. You know what I'm saying? We invented soul. Y'all didn't have it, style. Who invented it? Y'all copied awful guys. John B, I thought it was black. Nah, I mean, I saw John B. Phil Collins, I thought was... Oh. Oh, yeah, Phil Collins. I thought he was Asian, actually. I could see you dumbin' in the internet. See, it's fine now. You thought he was black? Yeah, I just... Of course. He did the Lion King soundtrack. Phil Collins? Duh. Oh, yeah, Zimba. Y'all... What? Nah, that's me. Y'all... What? You didn't know how white did the whole Lion King soundtrack? He did. I thought it was... He did know Phil Collins did the Lion King soundtrack. I thought it was Elton John. Elton John? Whatever, whatever. Yeah, I thought it was Elton John that did the Lion King. I thought... Elton John didn't do the Lion King soundtrack. The old Phil Collins, man. You ever heard the remix of the song, the collaboration Elton John and Phil Collins did? No. What is it? I see it coming. He didn't see that shit. You don't see that shit? I see it coming through the air the night. He's like this. He's like... He's waving people off. Freak out, freak out. Phil, that's a freaky song when you think about it. He said, I see it coming. I can feel it coming. What is that song about? You know it's about. Look at what that song is about. This song be having some freaky ass hidden messages that we don't know about. It's not even hidden. They're out in the open, bro. I can see it coming in the air the night. In the air the night. Damn. That means you was laying on your back and she was on top of you going crazy and then she got up and then that shit just squirting. You like... Oh, no. See it coming in the air the night. Look at them lips too. That's how you know it. You don't have no lips. That's how you know you're white. That's thick lips. You got them thick lips. Phil Kyle is still alive? He got them thick banana suckers. She still alive? Holy, he got to be like 80, 70. I can feel it coming in the air tonight. He calls on God. Oh, Lord. What is this song about? Google is about. I've been waiting for this moment. Kind of every moment. Of a bird? Of my life. A man who's... Chris, get the fuck out of here, really. Wait, what's it about? Contrary to popular belief, the story that Collins watched is a man. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on, son. Don't stop right there, son. Whoa, whoa. You about to... Man, I don't even want to talk about it. Nah, I'm good on that. What is this about? This shit got too dark, man. Contrary to popular belief, the story that... Oh, no, no, no, don't read it. That's wild. That's what that shit is about? Oh, it's not true. Okay. It's not true. Oh, it's not true. Yeah, yeah, it's not true. Well, you read... You read... You must have read farther down than I did. Yeah, I did read farther than you. First of all, if that's what you witnessed, why the fuck didn't you do something? Why was you just standing there watching? Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand. I've seen your face before, my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am. Go ahead. Well, I was there, and I saw what you did. Collins has stated... I saw it in my own two lives. And if you wipe off that grin, I know where you've been. It's all been a pack of lies. Collins stated in every... They didn't write it with anything particular in mind. He was dealing with a recent divorce, and he was very angry. Also, the lyrics were completely spontaneous. Fuck out of here. Nah, bro. He shared a real story on Jimmy Fallon. Let's hear it. Oh, he white-white. That's AI, bro. Shut up. That guy's not white, dude. That's AI. That's a black man. Look at him. That's AI, bro. And look at the commercials are black. Everything is black. That's AI, bro. That's not what I'm talking about, bro. Phil. Uncle Phil. Collins. Black-ass names. Your chest. Collins. Who lives on Collins Street? Black people. Look at that. Even the way he's sitting. Black as hell. Colo unbuttoned on black. Wrote a book. Black as fuck. You know what I mean? Album plays drums. Black. You need rhythm to do that. All right. Shout out to Phil Collins, man. You know what I mean? Not incriminating himself. You know? He's like, man, I was just mad as fuck. He's been around, bro. He's been around. Let's talk about the good brother, Shannon Sharp. Sleuth to Shannon Sharp. Yo, he saw the light. Man, shout out to Uncle Shannon. We love you. We appreciate you. I'm glad that you're seeing the reality of the world. I'm glad that a lot of people are open to the reality of the world, especially Taylor. Let's hear what OG Shannon Sharp has to say. So you didn't feel a type of way that he basically... Let's play the clip for Sleuth to Shannon Sharp, too. Sleuth to Shannon Sharp and Ocho Singles. Sleuth to y'all with the big cat. I love them. Hey, you feel that in your old eyeball. Let's put this to context before we play it. Hold on. What was the headline, Taylor? This is Hollywood Unlocked. Sleuth to Hollywood Unlocked. My man Jason Lee. Running for councilman in Stockton. Shannon Sharp says Beyoncé doesn't move the needle for the NFL like Taylor Swift. God damn, God damn. Play the clip. Play the clip, Taylor. So, Ocho, I love Beyoncé. Beyoncé ain't moving the needle like this chick. Ocho? No. What? You tripping. No, you tripping, Ocho. Ask the chat. That's a black T-shirt, bro. Ask the chat the closest thing to moving the needle like mama does. This is it. Whoa. All right. Ocho, you got your eyeball. Shannon T-shirt says, sorry I'm late. It's the same. It's not. Let's go. That's what you're making, man. Ocho, I love Beyoncé. Beyoncé ain't moving the needle like this chick. Ocho? No. What? What? All right. Listen, man. Listen. We've already exhausted this topic on Brilliant Idiot. Yeah. Yeah, we don't have to harp on it. People are saying, oh, he stole your take. You can't steal the truth. The truth exists. You know what I mean? Is the White House white? It's white. I didn't say it first. It was a little bit. But when it says Jelly Roll tries to go, I didn't see Jelly Roll say that. Jelly Roll said that? I thought Shannon Sharp said that. I thought Shannon Sharp compared Taylor to MJ. No, Jelly Roll was just asking a question the same thing. Oh, which also Andrew said that. Of course, yeah. Last year. Shannon said that she used the closest thing we got to MJ. He's right. He's seeing the light. That's all the thing is. He's seeing the light. I don't think anybody's close to MJ, bro. Really? Y'all need to watch MJ's documentary on fucking, um. She's the closest thing to moving the needle like Michael Jackson that we've seen. That's what she says. That's what you've thrilled him? He's not, though. But she is, though. No, man. MJ was an anomaly, bro. I've never seen anything that like MJ. When we talk about comparing people to MJ, you only can bring up Jesus, bro. Tell them in. When Jesus was alive, people didn't even like him. They didn't like MJ either. Yeah, they did. How they did, I guess. He sold 100 million records. Whoa. Are y'all really basing it off of the numbers? Not like the... Man, I'm basing it off the way they used to treat MJ. Michael Jackson was different, bro. Nah, but they treat Taylor like this, man. They should be happy like that, too. Really? No. No, they don't. I love Beyoncé, too. I love Beyoncé. Here's the thing. I'm not having this debate no more because it's silly at this point. Beyoncé was at every Brooklyn Nets game. Nobody even knew. Yeah, she's the fuck out of thing. Taylor goes to one football game. The whole world shuts down. I do have a theory. They weren't against her, this poor girl. I do have a theory about the NFL and Taylor Swift, though. I think that a lot of people who already watched the NFL, their daughters are tuning into the NFL with the parents, with the father now, because Taylor Swift... So she's creating family time. She's creating bonding. Yeah, yeah. And then we still hating on this girl. They say... She's being a great girlfriend. We still hating on her. The amount of criticism this girl gets. She generated 2 million female viewers. How did they know that, though? Like, how did they know those 2 million viewers came from fucking Taylor Swift? They'd be making shit up. It's probably 5 million, bro. And I hate the fact that last year, the sport had 113 million viewers. It's going to do the same thing this year. It's the fucking Super Bowl, guys. But it might be more. It's the most watched thing in America ever. It will be more with Taylor, especially with Taylor as involved. The thing is, how are you going to criticize this woman supporting her man? That's what I don't understand. Because they haven't committed yet. Why are we making such a commitment to them when they haven't committed to themselves? I thought you were on my side. I'm serious. That's it. When it becomes Travis and Taylor Swift, Kelsey, then let's get serious about discussing them. Nah, bro. Nah, she's supporting her man. Don't we all want to be supported like that? Don't we all want our girls to care about the things we do? Exactly, Siri. Seriously, I'm not sure what she understands. She's like, I'm not sure what the fuck they're talking about. We're not going to understand what Taylor's going to say either, but just go, Taylor. Go, say that shit. I don't think people are, well, people are upset with Taylor, but I feel like people are more upset with the media because they keep panning to her. Well, they keep panning to her because people want to see her. NFL, I'm telling you right now, if y'all pan to Taylor Swift once during usher's performance, I'm with Cap, yo. I'm telling you that right now. Cap, sir. I'm with fucking Cap. You're going to beg for your job back over there? I'm taking a fucking knee. He's on both knees now. Please, Mr. Gattel, please give me a shot. I'm taking a fucking knee if y'all pan to Taylor at any point during usher's performance show. That shit would be disrespectful as fuck. You think usher's going to play ceasefire now? No. By the, by the Holland Tunnel game. No, no. You don't think, you don't think usher's going to do his cover of ceasefire now by the Holland Tunnel game? Yo, by the way, I think what you noticed, unless I haven't noticed it, I ain't seen nobody in the NFL stand up for no causes this year. Not one. You ain't seen nothing. Like nobody in the NFL, unless I haven't been paying attention, I watched football every week. I haven't seen nobody stand up for no cause. They squashed that shit out real quick, Cap. Yo, do you know who created the people who put in causes on their cleats? Who? Brandon Marshall. Shout out to Brandon Marshall. Brandon Marshall. Oh, did he put mental health on his cleats? Yeah. Back in the day, he did it. And I think they either told him he couldn't wear it or something like that. And then they ended up having a whole meeting about it. And next thing you know, the NFL was running out doing the whole cleat. And how nice was football this year without having to deal with that? I mean, I enjoyed it. That's what I'm saying. It just let us focus on the game. But Taylor Swift won't let us focus on the fucking game. That's on y'all dick-riding her so much. She does so much dick-riding Taylor. They are dick-riding Taylor, man. She's just trying to support her man. They are dick-riding the fuck out of Taylor, man. Bring families together, supporting her man, like this poor girl. This unbelievable, man. The most famous Taylor. Well, Taylor made the name famous, yo. Like, I don't even know any other Taylors other than Taylor Swift. You know any other Taylors? Nope. Nah. There you go. And I mean, Taylor is the biggest Taylor period. Here's the reality. Taylor is the widest white girl name ever. That's the thing. You think so. After Taylor Swift, Taylor became the whitest white girl name. You're right. If you name Taylor, you pretty much a Caucasian person. Honestly, if you're a black Taylor, there shouldn't be an apartment you can't get in New York. If you pick up the phone and call and be like, yo, my name is Taylor, they don't even care what your last name is. Even if your last name is Jenkins or something like that, they don't matter. You're white, you're white. Taylor, you a Taylor? You're a Taylor. You top notch, top of the food chain. Yeah, you really are. Yeah. I mean, honestly, if you can't get what you want with the name Taylor, you just suck. Low key, that's facts. A fucking bunch of crackers running around to me. Yeah, man. What, cracker? Don't look at me like that. Excuse me. Oh, shit. Taylor, yo. Oh, shit. Y'all are showin'. I forgot about you. Y'all showin' your A. That was the most cornyest wet joke I ever even. What was the dad joke? What was the dad joke? What was the dad joke? That was so corny. What was the dad joke? That was bad corny. All right. You can try again. Okay, I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't going to do it. Tell the people what you asked to GYN. I didn't ask shit. Yes, she did. No way, dude. I didn't ask shit. She fucking asked. She's fucking asked. I mean, God be watching you. Why do you be lying like this? Oh, yes. To GYN and her. And she came in excited about it. I had to. My GYN say, my discharge is honorable. I'm like, how do you lie like this? No way. Jay, God is watching you. You have to go home at night and you pray. And God is probably looking at you, turning over. And God is laughing. I can see him in my head. I can see him in my head right now. I didn't lie, it was ridiculous. What was the lie? I thought he was joking with the way you're getting defensive. I don't think that's real. God is crazy. What was the lie? I can't believe you just lie like that. What was the lie? You're dangerous, especially when you was in high school or something. Oh my God. Yo, honky chew. Yo, that's crazy. White people are crazy, yo. White people are crazy. White people named Taylor are insane. Yo, you got to tell them. White women, yo, we got to start calling white women Taylor's and not Karen's, yo. Because that was wild what you did to me just now. You didn't chill out. That was wild, Taylor. Yeah. All right, can you do your little memes for the week, you honky? You can do it. That shit hits, bro. Yo, I could throw a honky out there. I'm not going to lie. OK, what was this? I got a great honky. The Kanye. This was wack. Yeah, let's move on. This was wack. Really? Yeah, let's move on. It was wack. I mean, like, you snatched the camera from the photographer. This one right here is what I'm talking about. The woman can't fit in the airline seat. Let's have this discussion. This is good. This is good. Because I got a different discount. Yeah. Shit. What in the fuck is going on? What's her name? Grace Bond? Yeah. You know what? I don't have a phone. What do you mean, why do we both have it? Do you see that? She's built like a funny mirror. Oh, my god. Yo. Do you see this clown body that she's got? This is insane. IG model, Grace Bond. Oh, she's an IG model. Shares, PSA, the airlines request biggest seats because her butt doesn't fit. Is that her real butt? No. Oh, no, but. It doesn't look like it is. No? I'm sure there's plenty of dudes off her. I never heard of this woman, ever. Come on. That's not her real butt. Is she big? Is she like a big woman? I don't know. No, it's white girls. Is she a plus side model or something? That's that hunk. That's that hunk. It looks like she was a big girl and then she just got like lipo or something. Oh, so she took the fat from everywhere else and shoved it right back in her ass. Here's the thing. Genius. Why do people want the airline to get bigger seats? The same reason why you pay extra to sit in the front. So she should buy two seats. Yes, she should buy more seats. Or buy the first class seat. Here's the problem. Then you have a bigger seat. The first class can't even hold that. You can't buy more seats because if you don't check in for your flight, they give your seat to someone else. So you can't even buy extra seats. But then they do have some airlines allow you to buy the seat next to you if it's close enough to the flight and it's not sold out. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah, that's an option. I just don't agree. Here's the thing. Clearly her body is not like everybody else's. There is nobody's body who's all the same, right? But the airline makes these seats for a range, right? That shit is for ****. I think she got to buy an extra seat. Charlotte, let's just keep it a buck, bro. I don't know. That shit is for ****. I don't remember about that. Yo, come on, Charlotte. I'm a married man. Come on. I'm married too. I'm not saying I'm going to ****, but someone got to get behind that. Nah, someone gots to. That's going to swallow any dick. You got to strap one on. That's going to swallow any dick. That right there? Yeah. That's going to swallow any dick? I don't feel like how big it is. I don't feel like a dick could be able to reach the pussy, though. What do you mean? I just feel like… What does her butt got to do with her vagina? Yeah, the vagina's underneath. I just feel like the butt's going to block it too much. She might have a shallow vagina. You can lift it up. Get that shit out the way. Yeah, but still lift. Stop confusing Taylor about her vagina. Didn't we learn last week she doesn't know much about her vagina, yo? No. Well, maybe that's why it's so dishonorably destroyed. What was that? What? Charlotte, may I hear it? So, you got to change this video. I can't concentrate right now. I want to be that **** in… Salute to her, man. I don't know what to tell her other than you got to get two seats. Like, you know you're built. What is her built? How would you describe it? I mean, she's just that she has a build that can't fit in one airline seat. So, if you got that kind of build, you got to get two seats. Yo, what is she built like, bro? And stop playing games. I'm married. I know you're married. What does that mean pants are too tight, fellas? What's that mean? Yo, relax, yo. What's that mean? So, this lady was… Dr. Juanita Finham. I mean that y'all got to stop. Let me see. Pants too tight. Them little bitty shoots is worrying me. Them ones that's hot waters that's cut all up in here too. So, we can count how many you got down there. Something is wrong. Little jackets that's too little look like you just put on little Ray Ray's clothes or something. Came to church. I'm not hearing y'all talk to me. To the point even your little dance scare me the way you shout scare me. Your knees too close to be a man. Wow. Oh, I'm not getting nobody to talk to me right here. Maybe I got to look down here on the monitor because let me get this tipping when you shout. Open up your legs and shout like a man. This girl's gay. Yo, this girl's gay. What you mean? Talk about us, yo. Let us wear our high waters. Let us wear our tight pants, gay girl. Some passes. I don't understand what's going on. I don't know. This is church? Yes. She's a pastor. I salute the one I need to buy in a man. I don't know what the hell is happening there. But you know, maybe men wear too tight. A lot of times you see people with too tight clothes on. It's because they haven't realized they can't wait. And they think that it fits the way it's supposed to. And sometimes they need a reminder from people like Dr. would need to buy them to let them know to either get a bigger suit or lose some goddamn weight. That's my take. God damn, Charlamagne. To what? There's a lot of disgusting fat people out there that might be offended by that. Well, chill. Buy two airlines seats. God damn it. No, but. Oh, Jon Stewart returns to the Daily Show. Did we talk about that? Now, now, now, now. I want to be celebratory of this, but at the same time, I thought that could have been your seat, my boy. He's only doing Monday. I mean, I'm not saying it. I'm not saying that. That don't have nothing to do with me. I'm just saying Jon's only doing Monday. Jon's doing Mondays. He's executive producing. Tuesday to Thursday, the shows will be hosted by a rotating lineup of the show's correspondents who will share hosting. I think they should do Wednesday for Jon. Monday, no stories came out. Nah, you got the whole weekend. Monday is a great time to start the weekend. Everything. Monday is a great time to start the week off. I just don't like that. Hold on. We're not going to move past that sentence. What? Monday is a great time to start the week off. Yeah. It is. That is when the week starts off. Sometimes he says this. Y'all going to pick up and I feel gaslit. I feel gaslit. Friday is a great day to end the week. I don't know, man. I always thought Wednesday was like a great middle of the week. You know what I'm saying? That's just my personal opinion. I think Monday is a great day to start the week off. No, man. I'm just glad Jon's going to be back in the conversation. You don't think that's setting it up. Like, it's bad for the other hosts because everybody's just going to compare the day Jon do it to the day the other people. Step your fucking game up. But I mean. Step your fucking game up. Yo, man, if that was sports, that's what it would be. Word up. You don't tell other players on the team, hey, man, if LeBron drops 30, 10, and 12 at fucking 38 years old, you know, that don't mean, that means that gives you a pass to not be great. No, you go out there and be great. That's what I mean. I would love it. I see Jon on Monday. That would give me energy. Like, oh, shit, I don't know how I'm coming. Love it. I would just put him on Wednesday, but I love it. I love it. I love it. I think that it's so cool because I asked Jon when I saw him once at the comedy cellar, I was like, hey, man, I just got to know, was there a little part of you that wished that you stayed on for one more year so you could have been there for a Trump campaign and a Trump election cycle, that first kind of, you know, and he was like, no, I'm good with my life. I just wanted to do all my things and it was time to retire. It was taking so much time. That being said, I wanted that. I wanted Jon there for a Trump election. This is a great year for him to be back around. And he only has to do one day a week. This is perfect. One day a week. And I think that, you know, we need more voices that we can trust. Yes. Especially in an era where this year, where you're going to see a lot of AI and a lot of misinformation. Like, I think it's good for American people to have a voice we know we can absolutely trust. And I mean, say what you want, Jon has always been very objective. A lot of people try to say he's more left-leaning now. I don't necessarily see it. I still see the nuanced, you know, conversation and him able to be able to be objective and talk about things from both sides. Yeah, I'm happy Jon Stewart is back. So check him out Monday nights on Comedy Central on the Daily Show. What day does he start? February what? February 12th. February 12th. Yeah, I'm with it. What else we got? I feel like we're missing something. Oh, Nikki Haley. How was Nikki? Nikki on Breakfast Club. It was a good conversation. I enjoyed it. You know, I enjoy... I just enjoyed the conversation. She was there for like an hour. And how did the... Okay, first of all, what are you asking her about? Like, what are your tough questions for her? Let me see some of the stuff that's currently going viral. Let me see. What was some of the stuff? She... Let's look it up. Let's look it up, guys. One of the headlines I see on Politico. Nikki Haley says, the Kamala Harris presidency should send chills of everybody spying. Nikki Haley calls Trump toxic and latest rebuke. They say this has been her sharpest criticism of him to date. Nikki... Oh, USA Today just posted just five minutes ago. Nikki Haley weighs in on whether Trump mocking her name was racist on Breakfast Club. Nikki Haley says Texas can secede from the U.S. if it wants to, what it isn't going to. That was ABC News. So, yeah, I mean, it was a lot of different things. She said that Texas should secede? Well, back in 2010, somebody asked her about should states be able to secede, you know, from America. And she said, yeah, because it's in the Constitution. And then, you know, this week, Greg Abbott was flirting with secession, you know? And I just asked her, I said, you know, if Texas was to do something like that over the border thing, right? Because they're there upset about the border. If they were to do something like that, would she use force to keep Texas as part of America? No, she said you wouldn't. She said you don't ever use force on other Americans. I was like, I don't mean military force. I just meant, like, to be strong about it. I think I did mean military. Yeah, you did. That was the forces. Yeah. And absolutely would. We've done it before. In 18... It was in the 1800s though. It was in the 1800s though, or 1860. South, you're not going nowhere, all right? You're not going nowhere. But then if they broke away and then... It wouldn't have. If they still sent migrants into America, now is that, like, international crisis? There's already fucking... Who'd you say were there now, Chris? You give them the mic? Texas National, Texas Rangers, I think. Say it, grab the mic, Chris? Chris said Chuck Norris, then we're at the fucking... I think Texas Rangers are already down there. Okay, Nolan Ryan, Chuck Norris, who else? Well, here's the thing. They have every right to defend the border. Like, it is illegal that people are crossing the border. I hate this idea that, like... I hate this idea that people are positioning as if they're doing something wrong by defending the border. They're doing the thing that they're supposed to do. We have a border patrol agency that literally stops people from crossing the border. Borders make a country a country. So it's not in any way racist. It's not in any way wrong to defend a border. That's literally what they should be doing. And if Biden is hurting their ability to do so, then of course that they should object. Yeah, of course. I mean... I agree. So then what's the deal? You don't want one branch of law enforcement or military pursuing one agenda while the federal military is doing another. But what's the agenda of the federal military? Are you saying they're trying to keep the border open? Because I don't like that either. Again, I like illegal immigrants, but make it fucking hard. Because I just want the ones that really want it. I want a wall. I want a moat. I want fucking barbed wire. Texas Rangers. I want some arrows. Whatever it fucking takes. Because when they get in, now we have, as Trump said, their best. Man, shoulders like fuck Grand Theft Auto 6. We need that goddamn border. That border wall. Border wall one. Border wall one. Border wall one. Make it hard as fuck to get in. Yo, that might be dope. That's it. Escape to America? A fucking video game? That's it. And if you get in... That's kind of fire. That would be kind of fire, yo. That would be kind of dope. Can we all agree if they get in? The creators of Grand Theft Auto. That's it. But if you get in, you get citizenship. That's it. Escape to America one. And then we take away any white homeless person. We take away their citizenship. That was good. That was good. That's great. That's great. Is that racist? No. No, that's great. You had every opportunity. You had every opportunity, Mr. White Homeless Man. Okay? Yeah. Unless you have mental illness. If you have mental illness, that's fine. If you have mental illness, you got to give them a pass. That's right. If you have no mental illness. That's right. I agree with that. You're white and you have rich parents and you're just cosplaying as homeless? What about vets? It's going. That's mental illness, of course. Mental illness? No, I don't... Even if it's not mental illness, you know how I feel about veterans. You always got to take care of it. I feel the way America is. You give your life for the country. That's right. That's right. We take care of you for the rest of your life. Free healthcare. You should get free room and board. You should get a stipend every month to be able to take care of your bills. You give your life for the country. We take care of you forever. Free massage, envy memberships. Take care of the fucking ventures, man. You got to take care of the vets. That being said, if you have rich parents, no mental health issues, and you're just cosplaying as homeless... And white rappers. We take a... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Unless you're nice. Unless you're nice, nice. Who defines niceness? Dr. Uma. You got to sit Dr. Uma down and say, Dr. Uma, which white rapper deserves citizenship based off their lyrics? Based off skill level... This is a game show. Based off skill level. This is a game show. Based off skill level, which white rapper deserves citizenship? If Dr. Uma does this game, he will have 27 schools around the country if he wants with the amount of money that he's going to make. Who gets citizenship, though? Let's talk about it. Eminem? He got citizenship. Of course. Em got citizenship. That's not a question about... After that, it gets a little shaky. Okay, talk to me. Who? Name him. Is Post Malone a rapper? Do you still? Oh, he got to get deported. If he's still rapping? What if he's a rock star? All right, if he's transitioning to rock, cool. Okay, so he's a rock star. Okay, Lil Dicky. You're deporting Lil Dicky? No, no, no, not deporting him. You're Mexicanizing his citizenship? No, no, no, no, no, no. Not deporting him. You talking about just rap? Just contain him for a little while. Detain, yeah. Just put him in the Biden cages? Put him in the Biden Obama cages? Put him in the Biden Obama cages? Yeah, I can see... We're going to get you in, Dicky. Okay, we'll see if there's room. We're going to see how much you want it. Can you break out of the cage? Now we're talking about making TV shows. Citizenship. But we're not talking about that. We're talking about rapping. Just rap? Okay, give me more. But we kind of need his rap for the TV show. Jack Harlow. Are we Mexicanizing him? No, no, no, Jack can get legal citizenship. Legal citizenship. Yeah, Jack don't have to go through the hardships of getting him. What you mean? Because he can spit his way through. He can rap, yeah. I like Jack. Why, Taylor, do you want to strip his citizenship? Jack, oh, man. Jack, if it was up to Taylor, you'd be deported, bro. That's fucked up. That's exactly what you said. That's fucked up. He's not a rapper. I didn't have to be rapper. Why can't you just see the other way? Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. Come on, hold on, hold on. Taylor, man. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, come on, pay attention in class. Taylor, you shut your honky ass up. God damn, did you just pay attention in class once? I mean, just once. Okay, okay. So what black people are we going to take their citizenship away? What do they do? What do black people have to do for us to take away their citizenship? Also, what do legal Mexican-Americans have to do for us to take away their citizenship? I don't want to play this game anymore. It was fun a little while ago. Yeah, come on, y'all. I know, it's not fun. It's not fun, it's just not fun. We just getting into it. It's just not fun. God damn it, bro. It's just not fun anymore. We have any more ads? Alex? Did you ask Nikki why she changed her name? No, because she didn't change her name. Why do people keep saying it? Her name is like Nimrodda or something like that. No, it's Nimrodda Nikki Haley. Her middle name was Nikki? Yes. Like, why do we act like that? Oh, I didn't know that. Yes. Are you sure? Yes, man. Yes, her name is there. Nikki is in her name. Yo, can you look that shit up? Because I think Charlie just made that shit up in his live. Look it up, Andrew. I think they probably anglicized her life. I thought you'd take your fucking citizenship. Look it up, man. Look it up. I don't know if people would act like she just changed her name. Like... It's like Ralph Lauren and Ralph. Yeah, and Nimrodda Nikki Ronda-Wah-Hah Haley. Like, for real. And then, um... No, she was born... Nimrodda Nikki Ronda-Hawawa Haley. No, no Haley. No, it's... What do you mean no Haley? Haley's her last name. It's Nimrodda Ronda-Wah. And then she got married to Haley. You said the Nikki is just... Oh, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Anglicized. Okay, there you go. And then, um... Don't do that. I was talking to Shubh Dubey. Scoob was... Shubh. Shubh was saying that Nikki... Yeah, we just had a disagreement about something. And then I said he goes, yeah, there we go. Anyway. Shubh said Nikki means something in, um... Little. Little? Something like that. Nah, that's not what he said. And what, in Hindi? Shubh. What does Nikki mean? Try it, please. Try it, please. Yeah, it means... Okay. Yeah, because she was the youngest, right? Yeah. Yes. Like, where do we get this? This is fake news. Where do we get this shit from, y'all? What's up, fake news? It is! She changed her name? Like, yo, somebody called the radio station this morning and said, Shubh Dubey, you need to get on her because she been pretending to be white all this time. I said, who said that? He said, Donald Trump. You don't even know she was Indian. That's you! Maybe I'm from Silicon Island, so I've been seeing her. So, like, this isn't new to me. Like, it was always a thing. First Indian-American governor. You know, it was always a thing. It was never not a thing for us. I'll be honest. I don't think she's Indian enough. I want her to be more Indian. I wish she would lean into the Indian-ness. Run, hey, run, Iso, man. Go. I'm just saying. Charlotte, man, I'm just saying. Do you want another white lady from South Carolina? I don't care at this point, man. At this point, I just want somebody reasonable, bro. I want somebody reasonable. And when I say reasonable, I'm talking about reasonable in regards to logic and reasonable in regards to age. Oh, you want- That's it. You're kind of ageist, dude. I'm not. Dude, if you're lucky, you're going to get there. I want to, but I won't be running for president. I'm trying to be president. I'm fine. I want to get there. I want to be 80 plus years old. Can you be president? Can you even vote? Yeah, I voted. Listen, here's the thing, right, with President Biden. And I really be thinking about this. Black or whatever. Here's the thing about President Biden, right? Do they allow that? Like, why would you want to be president at this point in your life? These are your golden years. Like, the stress level is too high. He wants to help. But once you set that goal of, oh, I want to be president one day. He did it. Yeah, but you got a successful president against two terms? Not really. Not if your whole role was to be a placeholder. Not if you were supposed to be there for one term and then pass the torch to whoever helps. Like, that's why a lot of Democrats are mad. That's the conversation that nobody's having. But that was like the unwritten rule, the unwritten rule, the unwritten plan was, you're going to do one term, and then you're going to be out. Oh, and Biden doesn't want to be out? Nah, because it's all legal. There's no way he actually still wants to do this. It's all legal, I think, bro. Wait, for real? I think that they go, go, Chris. You fucking know things. Fuck you. Damn you. Sorry, that was hard. That was hard. That was hard. That was hard. That was hard. I was a little hungry. How did you get so much? I got a little hungry. I gave him a prop and a person. I didn't want to sit in it. Fuck you, bro. You fucking know things. Fuck you. Fuck you. Damn it. Shut up. I'm a little, I'm not sure now. Fucking love you, Taylor. What do you think, Chris? I love you, Taylor. I don't know. I mean, my... Shut up, Taylor. Chill out, dude. Chris, go. My father's the same age as Biden. Would you want him running for president? He looks like Biden. I think he could pull it off, but I think it would. He does. He actually, my parents, my kids call him Biden. What does your dad think about the sneakers you're wearing today? How does he know about this? How do you feel about them, though? I think that you're the fucking coolest goddamn guy that I know. And I think you have the sickest sneaker collection, the sneaky, sickest sneaker collection of anybody on that side of the camera. Oh, fuck you. Anybody in this room, of anybody in this room. I appreciate that. I put a lot of, you know, talking about getting old is very difficult to dress as you're getting old, because if you don't try, then you're just the old guy. Yeah, but you're just subtle and then you kill it with the sneakers. Everything else is subtle. You're not trying hard up top. And then the sneakers, you flex. And then it's just like, yo, I still got it if I want. When you get to a certain age, Chris, it's all about comfortability. I don't give a fuck. It's all about being comfortable. You're wearing Timberlands. You're not even doing a... This is comfortable as shit. He's a comfortable. He's a comfortable. Everything I got on is comfortable. I feel like I don't got no underwear on right now, but I do. That's how comfortable I am. I got on Ethica underwear, which is so comfortable. It makes you breathe easy. I got a nice loose-fitting sweatsuit, with some Tim's on. This just takes no effort. I know I'm a fashion icon, and it looks like I put a lot of effort into what I do, but it's all about comfortability, guys. You look like you're ready for backshots. Now, it's like this. It's a straight laying down, getting on top of me. Can I say one thing on the bottom thing, though? Yes, on the age. This is the best case I can make. All right, go. He's been doing this his entire life, right? Politics, Washington, in the corridors of power and negotiating. So we'll stand up be hard for you when you're 79 or 80. It's easier because it's all you know. But he had no real connection with real people anymore, man. Well, but that's true of everybody. No, I agree. I agree with that. Donald Trump's never met a real person in his life who didn't work for him. No, I agree with that. Like, so what? My thing is, what would be an impossible lift for most people at that age, I think is lighter for him, because it's his entire life. I hear what you're saying. That's the best I can say. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You're not worried about it aging him or taxing on him. And also, he's being handled, right? He loves this shit. He eats this shit up. It's all he knows. Also, let my man take a vacation. Every time he's on the beach, they're like, he spent his whole time on the beach. Being in the White House, I stayed at a hotel that was across the street from it. You can't really go outside. Like, you literally can't, when we're in DC, like, you cannot go outside because other people are in buildings that can look down into the White House. Like, I'm not saying I would have done anything, but someone else could have. So you're just locked in this little jail. Around the gardens or whatever they're called. I could look into the gardens. The Rose Garden, don't they? Yeah. Things in the Rose Garden. Huh? You can see the Rose Garden. See everything. Somebody said that, I don't know if it was Vivek or somebody, but on the pod, they were basically like, the managerial class or the institution or whatever you want to call the powers that be that really run American government, right? Don't really care if it's Democrat or Republican. They really care that they're going to go along with the greater vision of America, which is, hey, if we need a war, we go to war. If we need to destabilize the nation, we destabilize the nation. If we need to sell some weapons, we sell some weapons. They don't really care if it's Obama doing it or Bush doing it or Clinton doing it or Bush senior doing it. They don't really care. Trump represents someone outside of that system that they can't exactly control. Nikki Haley obviously is someone within it. Biden is also someone within it. Career in it. Exactly. So they don't, what they basically said is, sometimes they just shift the attention to a different party. So right now it's Nikki, and Nikki would essentially serve the same agenda that Biden would serve internationally. Are Trump? Well, to a certain extent. They're saying that Trump won't play ball and that's why they don't want that. And that's what I believe. I believe that people that are supporting Donald Trump, like when you look at New Hampshire and Iowa and you see Republicans that are voting for Nikki and instead of Trump, I really believe they're tied to the chaos. They're tied to the disruption. They're tied to all of the noise. They want to get back to just something stable. I think the instinct to be attracted to Trump makes sense. I understand it. As you like Jason moves. Trump has one agenda. Trump. It's called Trump. And if you look at his history, he gets what he wants out of situations and he leaves it in ruins. And that's what he's going to do with the country. Trump's goal is whatever is best for Trump. It's not what's good for Americans. It's not what's good for Democrats or Republicans. What's good for Trump? I don't even think it extends to his kids. I think it's like, this is what furthers me in this situation. And if saying something that people will interpret one way or think I'm fighting for it, he'll say it for anybody. But I mean, study the guy. Look what happens to things that Trump's in control of. No, you're right. You're right. Now, can I ask a question? What's the beef between Megan Thee Stallion and Nimrata Minaj? I really don't know. I have no idea. I just think it's silly at this point. You know what I mean? Listen, I'm hip hop, so I love a good back and forth. But I want things to stay on records. And what I mean by that is, back in the day when we were talking about taking it to the street, right, this ain't going to go to that level. What I mean nowadays when I say keeping on record is, man, don't tweet through it. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to hear all these Instagram lives and Twitter spaces and all that. Where is the bars? You know what I mean? Where is the music? And Nicki did give us a record when it was in. Oh, really? Yeah, to me. Did you hear it? Did you hear it? I heard it. What'd you think? Same. But I thought both records were, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? But I thought Megan's was better. And I thought Nicki even had some bars in her record. But I think the fact that she tweeted most of her bars before we heard them, it took away from the ugh of it all. And then just the whole, when you start talking about somebody's dead mother, man, it's like, come on, yo. You're Nicki Minaj. You are one of the greatest, if not de-great. Well, first of all, you're one of the greatest rappers ever, right? But then you're clearly one of probably the greatest female artists ever. If you put in the whole totality of everything that she's accomplished, right? I'm not just talking about lyrics and skill level. I'm talking about everything. She's probably the best ever. And it's just like, you got to stoop to that. Talking about somebody's dead mom, like, why? And Nicki. What do you say to her saying that, well, she talked about my husband? That's not, come on, bro. I mean, you're talking about my family. And by the way, he's convicted. Here's the illest part that Megan did. I'm just saying, if you're going to talk about family then. Megan gave one subliminal line, right? She gave one subliminal line, didn't say no names, no nothing, and just put it out there. And then called the breakfast club and I said, are you name and name? She said, no, but all the hit dogs go holla. And Nicki has been tweeting and talking on Twitter space and stuff for seven days. Seven days. So Megan was right. One line got you doing all of that for seven days. To where you bringing up people's dead mom, I don't know. I just think, I think too highly of Nicki as a artist to see her, to see her moving like this. Do you think she's a little unhinged? I mean, I don't know if it's unhinged. I just don't know. Like, first of all, Nicki just put out a great album. People fuck with the album. She's selling a lot of records. She's about to go on tour. It just feel like she should be above this. And if you are going to engage, you got to give us, you got to do it the way Drake did it, Joe. You know what I'm saying? You got to go back to back. You got to give us some shit. Drake gave us charged up. Drake gave us back to back. Drake gave us some great records. Drake gave us a phenomenal moment when he got tested. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, Nicki, there's a lot of people who have come at Nicki over the years. She hasn't really responded. She didn't respond to Lotto. She didn't respond to Remy Martin. And she gave Kim like a few bars and she did the whole raggedy thing. So it's just like, if you're going to give us a song, I was just expecting some shit from Nicki. That's what I'm saying. And you didn't get it. I didn't get it. Now I'm just getting a bunch of tweets and Twitter spaces and Barb's being upset. And this and that. Like, that's not what this should be about. So I want everybody just to get back to the music at this point. Because here's the thing. Meg, you put out a great record. Megan's Law, right? Like, it's a cool record. It did what it was supposed to do. But now you have to do what Nicki has done, which give us a great project with some great singles. Give us a real project with some great singles. You got to capitalize on this moment. You know what I mean? I think Meg has handed it perfectly thus far. You put out a record. You don't say nothing. You ignore all of the shit that's coming your way. Because there's been a lot of shit. People going to her mom's grave site and all of that. You ignore all of that. The next thing we should hear from Meg is a hit fucking record or a phenomenal album. That's it. All right, guys. Let's take a break for a second. Because first of all, you know the Super Bowl is coming up. So we got to get our picks in. We got to make some big bread with prize picks. This is very simple right here. Prize picks are making it incredibly easy for y'all to get crazy money. I'll tell you why. It's basically a free offer, okay? They're putting Patrick Mahomes at 0.5 yards. If you think that he's going to throw more than 0.5 yards, that's an automatic lock. We're just picking one more. That's all we have to do to pick one more. Pick 10 more. Pick 20 more. But if we pick one more and we do win, we're already going with that Patrick Mahomes 0.5 yards. We know that. I think we go Kelsey for the more. I think we go Kelsey for the more. They're saying he's at 72.5 yards. I think he's getting more than that. His girl's going to be in the stands. America's watching. You know he shows up for the big game. I think we're going more on that. Patty Mahomes 0.5. We're going more, obviously, okay? And we're going Travis Kelsey. And here's the reality. You can win up to 100 times your money with as little as four correct picks. You could turn 10 into 1,000. Demons in goblins are the newest, most exciting way to play prize picks. Squares marked with red demons or green goblins get you different payouts. So now you can win up to 100x your money with as little as four correct picks. So you go there. You play alongside meek. You know what I mean? I'm out there. You can even find community plays under the promos tab of the app to view entries from all the motherfuckers that you care about their picks. I'm telling you, go check out that prize picks community every single week. This is a crazy thing that prize picks does. It's absolutely absurd, but I love that they do it. Okay, prize picks offers injury insurance. So your entries stay in play even if one of your players gets injured.

Get that money. Look for the demons and goblins. You got this. And we'll see you next week. Peace. The podcast was to hear from a regular, everyday, average person that you just related to with their content. They were talented. They were funny. They were smart. Can we do some asking idiots? It was an interesting take, but I don't... What is he saying? In our podcast group. She doesn't understand why celebrities do podcasts. Let me hear it again. Let me listen to her. Because Taylor really been talking about this all. I don't want to do that. I wasn't. You didn't say, you just started playing it. I was watching the usher clips. Loot the usher on club Shay Shay. He was talking about how I gave him the name the domestic terrorist. That's because he is. Okay. Yo, we cracked it open. But we're happy that that domestic terrorist is getting his flowers, yo. I'm cracking that open. You want to go ahead and take it? What? Oh, pause. Pause. You want to take it. If you're a usher... You're going to let me have your chocolate. Usher is a domestic terrorist, man. Loot the usher though. I can't wait to see you get your flowers at the Super Bowl. We will not let Taylor sweep overshadow you, Usher. The fuck we want. Not on my watch. The fuck we want. Play the good Taylor. What is this? Basically, I was going on Instagram and I saw this girl talking about podcasts. And since y'all were like one of the first... Well, what are they? Nah, say that shit. Y'all one of the first like big podcast. Say that shit, yo. Ten years strong. We on our 11th year. What's happening? Brilliant idiots. Fuck with us. Live speaker. Okay. Seeing how podcasts have grown with like celebrities being on podcasts now. Smooth to combat Jack, Doree. So she basically is wondering why celebrities are doing podcasts now. That's all. Bad? Let me hear it. You said... From me because I'm in podcasting. But I'm going to just say this. I don't get why celebrities have podcasts, right? I thought the whole point of the podcast was that an everyday average citizen was hearing from another everyday average citizen and they made niche content that was either informational or relatable, right? Like if you want to hear from celebrities you can turn on the TV or turn on the radio. But podcasts was to hear from a regular everyday average person that you just related to with their content. They were talented, they were funny, they were smart, whatever. But podcasting was for the average person. Like am I right? So... What's her name, Taylor? Shout out to the young lady. I don't know. I mean I want to give her a props if she's using her video. I don't, you know... Hear the thing. Because why is that? Oh, it's more? Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I get what she's saying because, you know, I grew to love podcasting just because the traditional podcasts were people who weren't necessarily on the radio, weren't artists. It was just people who had something to say and they wanted to speak. I mean, I wanted the first podcast I got turned on to was Combat Jack. And then I started listening to the read. The read started around the same time we did, Chris? Before, a little bit before? Around the same time. Around the same time? Because I used to watch Kid Fury on YouTube. So I get what she's saying. I do love those stories more. And what I mean by that is I love stories like the read. I love stories like horrible decisions. I love those stories more because these people didn't have a platform. They didn't have an audience and to watch these individuals grow, their platforms to become the voices that they are. I love it and I respect it. But I think what this young lady is not understanding is the reason a lot of celebrities have podcasts is so they can be normal people because celebrities are normal people. So when you have a podcast and it enables you to sit down in front of a microphone and humanize yourself to an audience who may only know you because of what you do on TV. What you do in film. What you do in music. Now you get to show them the human side. And guess what? I've grown to love that a lot. I think that there's no better podcasters right now than the fucking athletes. I think all the athletes are doing the best work. You know, Shannon Sharpe. You know, Salute to the Pivot. Well, Shannon Sharpe and Ocho Sink over what they do with the Night Cat. Shannon Sharpe with what he does with Club Shae Shae. The Pivot, Salute to Ryan Clark and Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder. All the smoke, Matt Barnes and Steven Jackson. Like, I listen to that stuff more than anything. I listen to all of those people's individual podcasts more than anything. And it used to be a time where a lot of them just used to have athletes on. Man, some of the Pivot's best conversations are with people who are not athletes. You know what I'm saying? So I'm not opposed to celebrities having podcasts in no way, shape or form. If celebrities didn't have podcasts the biggest podcast in the world wouldn't exist. There you go. Joe Rogan was a celebrity. And guess what? I would have never thought all of those years ago the guy who was in the UFC and was watching Fear Factor would be a place where I would go to hear some of the most interesting conversations I've heard over the past 10 years. I didn't know he had that many different interests and that many different things he was into. So I don't have a problem with celebrities having podcasts. I'm not at all. Now, I think you see an influx of celebrities because their agents are going, yo, I just got this guaranteed bag. You're down to talking to a microphone for an hour a week and they go, yeah, I'll do that. And then we'll set it all up and you just talk in the mic and then this is your guaranteed bag. You know, okay, I'll do it. So I think you see an influx of maybe celebs that actually don't really want to do it or care to do it. But they just think it's another thing, another revenue stream, et cetera. But in terms of just celebrities in general, I think what Charlemagne said is absolutely perfect. Like there's so many. And especially when you get to see some celebs from industries that we don't hear a lot about the inner workings of, which is sports. Like sports, we don't hear a lot about it. We know it so well, but we don't know what goes on the locker room. They're telling locker room stories and it's awesome. That's right. So these guys make great content. Can't make, can't make makes make great content. Amazing. You know what I mean? Nori, drink champs, they make great content. Like, you know, like they're good at what they do. And I think that's the biggest thing. Shack, Shack podcast, the big podcast, they make great content. I think what people don't understand is everybody's shit ain't working either. Just because you a celebrity, just because you got an audience, you come from a world where everybody knew you. That don't mean it translates to podcasting. So when you see these people who do have podcasts and it's actually translating, it's actually hitting, salute to them. Salute to them. And the other, I'll say this too. I was, I was thinking about this this morning, just randomly, because you know, I'm always thinking about this because this is our business. I've really, Shannon Sharpe, has had a great January. I mean, he's been doing extremely well with Club Shea Shea Pride in this. The illest thing that Shannon's doing as a personality is the show with Ocho Senko. And I'll tell you what, anytime you're doing one-on-one interviews, there's always going to be a ceiling on that, right? Because you're not going to do them. You're not going to get the big interview every month, you know what I mean? And like right now it's a good window. Like he did Cat Williams and then 21 Savage came out with the album. Us just doing the Super Bowl. So that's January. You got that. But you don't know what February is going to look like. You don't know what March is going to look like. You know what April is going to look like. But the illest thing that he's doing is he's not just doing one-on-one interviews. He's giving you his personality with Ocho Senko in the nightcap. You just like to hear Shannon. We've said that a million times. I always tell people you can't just rely on interviews. Do people want to hear what you got to say? The fact that people care about what Shannon Sharp has to say, he's bodied it. Like you bodied it and you still giving them your day job because you don't have a first take all the time talking about sports. And that's the other thing too. Don't ever forget what got you here. I've seen a lot of great personalities. Forget what got them here. Meaning I'm a hip-hop. I'm a hip-hop radio personality. That's what I do every day. I love talking, still talking about hip-hop culture. Shannon Sharp is a sports pundit. He has not let that go. You know what I'm saying? Even though he's doing other things, you still see him on first take every day. So that enables him. Let me go hear what he got to say at night with Ocho Senko. They could talk about whatever. They could talk about Jesse Larry having a nice body, whatever it is. They can go talk about whatever. Then I can go watch him do a one-on-one with Club Shea Shea. That shit is the illness to me. Same thing with Ryan Clark. I watch Ryan Clark. He's on ESPN doing his shit on first take. Then you see him on the pivot. Having a whole other conversation about just being men and healing and stuff. I love it. I love it, man. I love what a lot of them are doing. So no disrespect, young lady. I understand what you're saying, but I respectfully disagree. Let's get some asking idiot, Tal. Ask an idiot's Alex Media or Taylor. Taylor. Taylor. Taylor the third. Taylor the third. All right. Taylor the third, yo. Taylor Bowl, that's funny. That's funny. Eric Bavaldo says, why is Charlotte hating on the Taylor Bowl? Yeah, that's a good question. That's a good question. Why are you hating? I'm hating because the motherfucker's like you, Eric, calling that shit the Taylor Bowl. It is the Taylor Bowl. No, it is not the fucking Taylor Bowl. You have one of the most storied franchises in NFL history to San Francisco 49ers. They got five championships competing, the possibly one of their six championships. You got the newest football dynasty we've seen, the Kansas City Chiefs. They've been to the Super Bowl four out of the last five fucking years. And you got Usher, Raymond, the fourth performing at halftime. I don't give a fuck about Taylor Swift being at the goddamn Super Bowl. That is not hate. I don't like somebody who has nothing to do with it overshadowing it. Yo, shout out to you, Taylor, and your bowl. When's your Madison Square Garden show? May 3rd and 4th. What's the name of the tour? If Taylor's there, it's called the Taylor show. What's the name of it? The Life Tour. The Life Tour. Taylor, we need you at the Garden on May 5th. Yeah, May 3rd and 4th. May 3rd and 4th. It's already sold out. May 3rd and 4th. She showed up May 5th. And the Liberty are playing. The Taylor Swift. Wouldn't that piss you off though? Oh, yeah. No, seriously. If Taylor Swift came to your show, and all the reviews about your show are about Taylor. Nah. Come on, man. You're lying. Knock it off. Knock it off. You all go, somebody tells you, yo, man, they talking about your show in the New York Times. Like, really? And you open it up, but they're only talking about it because Taylor Swift was there. Get the fuck out of here. That's cap. You cap. Yeah. Fuck out of here. You kid. Because when I'm performing in fucking arenas, because Taylor's at the show. Okay, okay, okay, okay. They're about to announce you on stage. You're right there. You're right there. They're about to announce Andrew's shows. And then all of a sudden, it's a commotion in the crowd. Like, what the fuck is going on? Because Taylor's trying to get to her seat. Nah, she got to get to her seat. Nah, I don't know. No, I don't know. You know how it works out. Don't be fucking up my walkout. Don't be fucking up. If she's already seated, you know what I mean? She's up her thing. That's totally fine. Taylor's there. Yeah. Taylor's there. Taylor's there. She got there late. People are watching the show, right? She would never. They're watching. They're there, but they're not really watching the show. They're watching Taylor's reaction to the show. And every single joke she's reacting, like she's watching Joe Coy at the goddamn emmy. What was that, the emmy? At the goddamn emmy. You giving Taylor them jokes, bro? At some point, you're going to start shooting. I refuse. Oh, I'm going to shoot. At some point, you're going to be like, oh, you want to be the show? You're going to be part of the show whether you like it or not. Okay, show it up when I'm walking out. You get there on time and you go incognito. Taylor comes to your show with a Theo Vaughn t-shirt on. I love that. Nah. That's a funny trope. That's funny. Yeah. You would do some stupid shit like that. I would never do no shit like that. I would never do no shit like that. That's my guy's night, man. I don't like people stepping on people's moments. And I'm not saying Taylor is. Taylor is Travis Kelton's girlfriend. She's trying to support her man. Yeah, by the way, this has nothing to do with Taylor. Taylor, you keep doing you. This has to do with all you fuck motherfuckers in the media. Okay? Stop doing this shit. It's not the Taylor Bowl. It's the Super Bowl, a great American tradition that we all are going to enjoy on February 11th. Okay? I can't wait to see. Including Taylor. Including Taylor. Including Taylor. Oh my God. What's up with all these podcast questions? I'm not mad at this though. Jay underscore R7 says, what is the foundation of a sustainable podcast? Ask him for me. What you think, Shopes? I think it's the chemistry. I think it's a chemistry. Because if you're just doing it for money, you either once the money comes, you lose the passion for it, or the money never comes, and you're like, fuck this, I don't want to do this thing anymore. But if the chemistry is there, it's always fun. And then everything else just feels like icing on the cake. I say chemistry and authenticity. And authenticity just means that you are talking about what you want to talk about. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Like you're into like horrible decisions, has they niche? You know what I mean? Earn your leisure, has they are niche? And then the chemistry between Amanda and Weezy are a shot in Detroit, enables them to be able to speak about the things that they want to speak about. That's the same thing. And then it's fun. It's fun. You know what I mean? It's the easiest thing to do. It's the easiest thing. So that's what I, yes, I agree with that. Chemistry and authenticity. Chemistry is everything without any of this shit though. That's the thing. This is easy because there's chemistry. And if there's not chemistry, it sucks. And then it's probably hard and it sucks. Yeah, you can't fake it. Like you cannot fake chemistry. Chemistry is the one thing that you cannot fake. Yeah, so it's not like it's hard to do, but it's because randomly there's chemistry. So it's finding the chemistry, I think, is the most difficult part of podcasting. That's right. In my opinion. And when you see it, you gotta acknowledge it. Like when I shouted out the need to know podcast last year or the same thing, it was like, yo, not only do I like their content, I'm like this, the chemistry. The chemistry is there. When you got that, when you can see it and you can hear it when somebody got chemistry. You see with actors sometimes, they're just great together. There's like certain people that for whatever reason, they just bounce off of each other perfectly. And you're like, okay, I want to see them in every single movie. You can be different characters. I don't give a fuck. You see it, I think, with musicians. You see it with like a producer and a musician sometimes. Like for whatever reason, when they're in a booth together, boom, that shit's gonna slap. So I think that's the thing that's difficult. And then it looks so easy because it is outside of that. It's you just being yourself with the person that you have great chemistry. I agree. Mr. Derek Jr., this is one of the most fantastic questions. This question right here is pure brilliant idiotness. Would you rather sweat every time you tell the truth or fart uncontrollably when you tell a lie? Fart uncontrollably when I tell a lie. Because I fart already. Yeah, I fart uncontrollably already. I'm not losing it. So nobody will think you're lying. Exactly. That's Andrew being Andrew. Yeah. Oh, this is tough because I don't fart in my clothes. Sweat every time you tell the truth. You just want to sweat all the fucking time. You see, I don't fart in my clothes. Yeah, but you want to sweat in your clothes? No, but if somebody saw me, if somebody heard me farting in my clothes, they'd be like, Well, they didn't know that until right now. No, they know. They've always known. Yeah, but hell be good one day you tell the truth. Yeah, that's true. Would you rather sweat every time you tell the truth? I would rather sweat every time I tell the truth. And I tell you why. Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining than most of the time when you see people sweating. You think they're lying anyway. You know when somebody starts lying, the sweat starts to be like, oh, shit. So I would rather sweat because nobody believed me anyway. Yeah, exactly. That's a great question, but also no brainer answer. Nobody believes me. Nobody believes me. And I tell you all the time, don't believe me even though I'm lying. And you should believe me even when I'm lying. So whatever. Keep going down. Let's get another one. What else? Damn. God, dang. It's not like he was talking to a prostitute just now. Yeah, yeah. Keep going down. You got one more in, yeah? Naya Queens says, can we get just a marriage on brewing idiots? Oh, hell yeah. There. I'm sure. I'm sure. We need to make that happen. Good sister will be here soon. She'll be moving to New York shortly. Oh, this is an interesting one. Charlie Marchiano. Uh-huh. Based on how the world is today, which movie predicts what's coming next the best? That shit Barack Obama didn't just put up. What's that shit called? On Netflix? Oh, yeah. I saw that movie. The Last of Us? No, that's not the Last of Us. What was that shit called? Leave the World Behind. Leave the World Behind. That's what you need to watch, Charlie Marchiano. That shit was wild. God, shit. For Barack Obama told us exactly what the fuck's going on. Which is? It's over. Invasion. Was that invasion? Is that what it was? They took over the, like the, I don't want to say what happened to them. I do want to read the, I want to read the three, hold on, leave the world behind. We can end on this because this was, leave the world behind three steps. This is the three steps to the end, yeah. Leave the world behind. Could it happen in real life? I want to read the three steps to disaster because this shit is so real. This is exactly what was it at. Step one, isolation. The movie describes that the first step requires completely shutting down a nation's communication and transportation methods. This ensures that no one has any way to spread information about what's going on and essentially traps everyone within their geological locations in states of hopelessness and confusion. Step two is synchronized chaos. This is evidenced in the film by the mysterious noise in the red pamphlets that silently harm civilians and spread misinformation. Step three is civil war. Because civilians won't have a clear enemy, they will theoretically naturally turn on each other without the rogue attackers having to add any more fuel to the fire. The three-stage destabilization maneuver of isolation, synchronized chaos, and natural evil could absolutely happen. A hundred percent. So we saw that during COVID, guys. Look at Chris, he's sweating, he's scared as fuck already. Well, if you think about it, so if someone were able to permanently knock out all internet and cable in this country. China. Just think about the levels that that would affect us too. Hell, yeah. Have to talk to each other and probably shoot somebody. I think us older people would be cool. Us older people would be cool. Say what? We've lived that already, guys. No, we haven't lived that. But we know what it feels like to not have phones. That's actually a funny scenario. Like, all these kids are freaking out, they're going crazy. It's like the purge for them and we're just chilling, having hypothetical conversations. We can't Google the answers to anymore. And we're just like, yo, this shit is fun. That would be fantastic. We should have got rid of the internet years ago. Life was so much better. Yeah. You're telling me Jordan was better than Bird. You shut the fuck up. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? He was, though. Now we talking. You know what I'm saying? You can't go no more shit. Nobody can Google stats. Oh, please, man. We're the last generation that could live in both. Because we have internet, but we were here before. Yes. So we are fluent in everything. Yes, man. So bring it on, yo. Yes, man. Bring it on. China's not ready to have no internet. What are all them kids going to do? By the way, in the movie, you know the propaganda came from China, right? It was unclear. No, it wasn't. That's what the red pamphlets represented. No, that was a misdirect. The pamphlets was the misdirect you just described. You drop pamphlets in a foreign language that's different than the country that's fucking with you. So all the people go, oh my god, we're being attacked by some Middle Eastern country. No, bro. What did you say when you talk about the G-spot in the ass, bro? What are you talking about? Whenever somebody says you can nut by getting fucked in the ass, you always say propaganda. Why? Oh, because that's gay as fuck. No, if you say that's gay people's way. Oh, that's gay people's way of tricking you. Yeah, yeah. If you was China, wouldn't you say that too? You know what I'm saying? You just drop the propaganda in a foreign language which just happens to be Chinese. You know what I mean? It makes you think of somebody else. No, it was in an Arabic language. Yeah. I thought it was Chinese. No, it was not. It was in a movie in Chinese. It was in Arabic. No, it was like Iranian or something like that. It was Arabic. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just blaming everything on China, man. I mean, shout out to you for that. That's fire. That's fire. I like that. I like that. You know what I mean? That broken clock is right like 12 times. I believe it. So don't worry about that. Shout out to you. Oh, man. Let's get another one now. You want to get another? Okay, let's do one more. Last one. Let's do one more. Okay. What would your last meal be? No, I don't want to do that. Okay. See, that was crazy. We already did a butt joke. We just did a butt joke, guys. We just talked some butt stuff. And see, they think it's me. All right. Brandon is listening to his love butt stuff. Yo, if you had to listen, Ito the Raph, if you had to live somewhere in the world other than the US, where would it be? No. I'm going. I ain't Gwilla. Easy call for me. I'm by Ann Gwilla. What about you, Al? Puerto Rico. It's the US. Damn. I think Aruba. You would live? They got the best weather. Oh, no. Aruba is amazing. It's beautiful, but you might get a little bored. Chris. Chris will say Maine. Yo, son. I like Spain. Oh, yeah. Oh, I like Spain. Drop the ball down. Scotland? Italy? Yeah, like Italy. I love, you know, low key, like London is fire angle. The weather is ass, so I don't think I could do it. But like it's just that's the first door. And I was like, but Spain is great. Italy is great. I like Ghana. I got property in Ghana. I'm buying more. But I was thinking about this the other day. It's like, yo, what if... I think I could do Mexico, dead ass. If Mexico is dope. I think I could do Mexico. What if you lived somewhere? I was thinking about this the other day, right? Because every time you think about living somewhere else, you think, ah, man, but what about the kids? But why put pressure on your kids to be successful? Like, why not just go live? You know what I'm saying? Like, why do we... Can't live without being successful. Yes, you can. I mean, if I do what I'm supposed to do. But that's true. You know what I'm saying? You're in the position where you've already achieved it. So now you guys can live off of that success. Just go live. Like, go get a beach nice house on the beach and everybody just live. Like, when you go to the island, man, these people live amazing lives. It never works, though. If you look at rich kids, whose parents give them everything, it inevitably creates some sort of... But that's why you go there and you open up something. You open up a juice bar. You open up a beach. I realize what the buffer is, though. It is... How do I word it? Basically, the more money you have and the more stability and security you have, the less uncomfortable things you need to do. True. And uncomfortable things often give you what you want. Going to the gym gives you the body that you want. Going on stage, you know, thousands and thousands of times. Sneaking into the border gets you citizenship. Gets you citizenship. Doing the uncomfortable shit is what gives you that success and it gives you that eventually freedom. Because you know you put the work in. But when you have lots of money, you don't have to do those things, and then your fear for those things increases so much because you're like, I'm doing this for no reason. So I think that's what happens to a lot of those kids, whereas people who don't have it, and I'm not saying my parents didn't give me the most amazing life, but it wasn't to the point where I knew I was gonna have to work. I know I was gonna have to support myself and them. So we go, well, I gotta go get this. It don't matter if I'm scared. Because I'm more scared of not having anything. I'm more scared of not having the ability to provide for myself and my family. That's terrifying. You remove that. You remove that pressure. Look, I don't know if you go to the islands, man, and you meet these people, they have such an appreciation for nature. They're fishing. They're eating fresh vegetables and fruits. You know what I'm saying? Like they don't have that pressure you're talking about. Like I had a partner man from Anguilla, and he would always say, like I think his child was born in Houston. Rest in peace, my man Shaq. And his son was born in Houston. And he just didn't want his son to be raised in America. He wanted his son to be raised on the island because of the way he grew up. So they don't have the same mentality that we have, that that whole American dream, you gotta be successful. It's a kind of drive. Their version of success is totally different than ours, and I respect it so much. And it's such a peaceful, easy life. Like, you know, I'm not saying life is easy. Life is not everybody's different. Enjoying a sunrise. Enjoying a sunrise. Yes, enjoying a sunset. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Like going for a swim. But we don't have that in New York, like no offense. It's you can do that when you live on one of the most beautiful islands in the world and you're surrounded by this absolutely stunning nature. Like you can absorb that whatever you want. When you're living in an apartment building with a hundred other families, you got people to your left, to your right, below you and above you, and you're not looking to sunrise, you're looking at a brick building, of course you're gonna be drawn to some other metric to decide how successful your day is. So there is a privilege to be being born in an absolutely stunning area. Absolutely. And you know, maybe we look down at our work, we were kind of setting our patronizing, we're like, oh, but they don't want anything. It's like, well, maybe you don't have to want when you have everything. We have to be caught in this rat race because we're trying to get out of looking at the brick building across. We're trying to get the sunset. They're already at the sunset. Or maybe we've told ourselves excess is more when the reality is less is more. I mean, that's the American, how many grams of protein is in there? Too much. That shouldn't even real. Exactly. You know what I'm saying? But that shouldn't even real. How many grams of protein can we put in a protein bowl? God damn, I don't know, man. I'm at that point. Bro, they put in shit in water that don't need to be there. Alkaline. Nah, I fuck with alkaline. But that's what I'm saying, like they got you on a water. Like water is water. Do you know what I mean? You got the electrolyte. Like they just find a way to put the more. Hey, this got extra water in it. Ain't nothing. I'm telling you, ain't nothing like fresh food. But I'm also from the country. So like living off the land and shit is shit that I actually enjoy. You're connected to them. I enjoy going fishing. I used to run through the woods as a kid. You know what I mean? Watching a goddamn bucket, his fucking head split open with a fucking bullet. And then you fucking eat that meat. That's fire. Pause. You know what I'm saying? Don't got pause that. You know? I love that. I like living off the land. I like that type of shit. I just think we put too much pressure on ourselves to be successful. A lot of us city folk don't even know that that exists. We grew up in this. And the only way that we know success in this is by making enough money to buy one of those crazy apartments where you got a little bit more room. You got a little bit better view. By the way, which I think is insane. But we don't know anything else. It's been millions of dollars on a fucking apartment. Bro, we don't know anything else. It's been what, Taylor? Why are you getting upset? What? Because you don't even know I'm going with it. What? No, because I was having this talk with my friends. Like, even when they come to buying a house at my age, like I've never grown up. I felt like it was, I had to be married and all this other stuff. But you don't. You could be. Oh, shit. Yo.
