 It's so stupid, it's positively brilliant. Yep, shall I mean the guy Andrew Schultz back for another week at a brilliant idiot's podcast. Let's get right to it, Andrew. What did you see last week that was positively brilliant? What did you see last week that made you say what a fucking idiot? Man, positively brilliant last week was very tricky. Man, I feel like everything just went wrong last week. Really? Does that not make sense? Like there was just so much crazy drama that came out last week. You know, I found out- Do you have those weeks? Say what? You can have those weeks. Yeah, like, well, yeah, I feel like everybody had it. Like it's just so much fucked up shit going on. Does that make sense? Man, listen, you're alive. Yeah, I guess you're right, man. I'm blessed. You're breathing. I'm blessed, you know, but it is our job to talk on culture and I feel like culture is in a really weird place right now. I'll tell you what a fucking idiot. You ready for my what a fucking idiot? Let me hear it. Matter of fact, you can even cut everything I said before and just start it with this. What a fucking idiot. Trump was asked about Ghislaine Maxwell. Okay? Ghislaine Maxwell is Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile accomplice, piece of human garbage. She is going to be on trial. She is, I guess, in custody right now. And Trump was asked about her and this guy bobbled the easiest question in the entire world. The question was, what do you think about Ghislaine Maxwell as something like that? And he goes- I don't know. I haven't really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly. I've met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well. He goes, you know, I saw her in passing in Palm Beach. I wish her the best. I wish her the best. What do you mean you wish her the best? What the fuck does wish her the best mean? This is all you got to say. All you got to say is there are some horrible things that she's accused of that's absolutely horrifying and absolutely disgusting. And if she's guilty of those things, I hope she gets justice. That's the answer. What does I wish you the best? Well, as a man who's always constantly working on himself through therapy and a sacred purpose coach and other things- Woodholding? That is exactly what I say to people when I wish them the worst. That is exactly what I say to people when I hope they get found, hung in a cell somewhere. All right? That is exactly- And I get it. He's the president. So he should have had a more politically correct answer. But when somebody talks to me about somebody, Andrew, that I absolutely despise, when I'm trying not to hate, I say God bless him. I wish him the best. Every time. Every time. Every time. I don't know how he feels about this woman. But you know, I'm just saying that's how- For me personally, when I don't wish you the best, I say God bless you, wish you the best. Because that's so generic, right? Interesting. So you think Trump is actually doing the opposite? I don't know what Trump is doing. I never know what Trump is doing. I'm just simply speaking from my perspective, you know, which is also something I'm constantly talking about there if it's about me making things about me all the time. But it's just like- Oh! Are you tapping into that, Charlotte? Hold on. Do you think you have an ego? Charlemagne the God? Yeah, we all got ego though. You can't be in this business if you don't got an ego. I'm tired of motherfuckers that are in entertainment, entertaining people going, oh, I'm egotist. I don't have any ego. Well then shut up. Go somewhere. It's not for you. You can't wake up every day if you don't have an ego. Not even in this business, just to live as a human. But you got to make sure that you don't have a wounded ego. You got to make sure that your ego is not your inner- Enemy. Your wounded inner child screaming for help. You know what I mean? You got to make sure that that inner child within you is not getting triggered by things that are happening to you as an adult and saying, hey! Let me- Me with me. Let me put the question like this for you. Charlemagne, how do you feel about Jeffrey Epstein? Back when he was alive. How do you feel about him? Didn't give a fuck. Isn't that a better answer than, well, I wish him the best. I'm gonna be honest with you, and this is just me being crazy, I guess. It all is the same to me. If I don't give a fuck about you, I wish you the best. I used to say God bless you. I used to say God bless him, but fuck him. Right. But that sounds like too much of an oxymoron. Right. I'd just be like, God bless him. I wish him the best. You'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me. I think butt-fuck him is good. I would keep the butt-fuck him. Damn, somebody's gonna edit that crazy. You still get a butt-fuck him out of me? Butt-fuck him out of me. Come here, come here. You'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me, bro. You'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me. All I'm saying is it like, let's say- I'm not in jail no more, you'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me. I'm not gay no more. I'm delivered. But you'll still get a butt-fuck him out of me. It's all good on holidays, bro. It's like, you know, alternate street parking. I'm with you, though. I mean, yeah, as a president, I guess you gotta stay neutral. Right. So as a president, even though we've never seen Trump stay neutral, Trump clearly picks a side. So to me, I thought about that when I saw him say that that is a man who he's been accused of being down with the Epstein's, right? Partaking in what they were doing. Who, Delayne Maxwell? Yeah, that's a girl. I know, but wasn't Trump in the mix of all of that? Wasn't Trump in the mix of Epstein and Maxwell? Yeah, everybody's in the mix. Now, there's this whole conspiracy on the internet, I think QAnon, which is basically- and I'm gonna fuck it up so if you know about it, but they basically believe that Trump is going into politics to like drain the swamp, get rid of all the pedophile elites that are like running these pedophile rings and using it to compromise people around the world. That's what they believe. And this gotta be the biggest blow to them because he fucking- he just fucked up the question and he was aware of what's going on, right? He said Prince Andrew did some foul shit. He said that Clintons were on that island. He said Epstein's island was foul. He's on record saying all these things. And now all of a sudden, while this chick is in custody, man, I wish her the best, it's almost as if- it's almost as if somebody could say this. They could go, oh, maybe she got some shit on him and he's trying to send a message to her lawyers or even her. Yo, I'm gonna be gracious to you. You be gracious to me. So the message already was sent. The message was sent when Larry Epstein was hanging in that cell. Now, I've seen the young lady- Jeffrey Epstein, not all white Jews, have the same name. Well, Jeffrey Epstein, right? If I'm Donald Trump, that message has been sent. All I've heard is the Maxwell lady say how she's scared that she's gonna get killed in jail. She's scared something's gonna happen to her. So once you've already sent that message, and I'm sure a message has gotten to Christine, like, all right, this can go one in two ways. Gelaine. Gelaine. What the fuck is going on? It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. How you fucked up? Both of their names are in 50 seconds of each other. It's unbelievable. So Danny, right? So Danny, the president, Danny's like, look, I'm on this motherfucking stage. And I'm saying to Christine, what's her name? Gelaine. I'm saying to Gelaine, I wish you the best. Meaning, I wish you the best as long as you keep your motherfucking mouth shut about it. Right. It's almost a message, right? It's a coded message. And Andrew, they haven't gotten a chance to, you know, do whatever it is they're gonna do to her. What do you think they're gonna do to her? You can't run the same place. You can't run the same place. You can't run the same place, y'all. That goddamn hangman office. You can't do that shit. You can't run the same place. It would be too obvious. You can't run the same place. You can't. But they gotta figure it out. They gotta say COVID. COVID. COVID, you get out of here with COVID. Little COVID can get her out of here. Little poisoning. But COVID. COVID is probably the easiest way to kill somebody right now, because it's not on you. You just gotta make sure that bitch gets COVID. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta watch Taylor. Taylor came up with that one a little too quick. Yeah, how'd you know that so fast? Yeah, she's playing that one out. Yo, that's grimy right there, dude. Pray for Taylor's boyfriend. Yo, we're praying for your boyfriend. What's your boyfriend's name again? I'm not saying nothing. Why not? No. I'm not saying anything. You know what's crazy? I was talking to Taylor last night, and I was asking her about her boyfriend, whatever, whatever. And she was like, yeah, I'm gonna take him to Philly this weekend for a change day. For what? Like, it was just so random. Like, I'm gonna take him to Philly this weekend for a change day. So. Yeah, that sounds, that sounds sexual. She got her alibi already. That sounds sexual, dude. Actually, what she said before that was, he's getting on my motherfucking nerves. Yeah, but it's all good. We're fine. Wait, why is he getting on your nerves? Why you keep annoying that man? Leave that man alone. He's not hearing this episode, like, see, I told you. But seriously, why are you driving him crazy? Why are you trying to piss him off for no reason? Don't do that. I'm serious. It's just a little tiny fight. Don't do nothing. About what? What are you fighting about? We're not discussing this. Go back to... Yo, Charlotte, man. What are you talking about? Can you explain to her that this entertainment, we gotta share what's happening in our lives? Let me make this clear. Charlotte, I mean, let's bet, let's bet, if I'm not in a relationship. Uh-huh. The time you say, if I'm not in a relationship after next year, then it has to be like some bet, because he thinks that we're gonna all be... all his needs is about to be single. They are. Why do you think about the pandemic? You don't think they got the pandemic punani? Nah, nah, I don't have nothing to do with that. It's just that they're all young. I'm not that young no more. How old are you now? 29. Yeah, you're right there. You right there. You can't call you young Liberty Bell after 30. You're just a bell. You're just a bell. What's up, bell? That's bell from Philly. No. But no, Trump did fuck that question up. But I mean, I'm seriously in my sick mind, that is what I say to people when I don't want to curse them. Straight up. When I don't want to say fuck you, only because I don't want to bring myself down to your level, and I don't want to bring my energy down to your level, I really do say, God bless them, wish them the best. You can just say also, I just hope they have the day they deserve too. That's why I say to people. Listen, y'all are more gracious to me. If somebody asks me how I feel about the people who are running like a pedophile ring, I'm not gonna say God bless them. That's just me though. Yeah, I don't know. They pray for you before they execute you. Say again? Don't they pray for you before they execute you? Don't they bring in a reverend to pray for you before they electrocute you? Imagine that's your job. Imagine that's your job for the church. Like you worked your whole life, you ain't getting no pussy your whole life, so that you could be like a priest in some cathedral and all you gotta do is pray for the guy who's about to get electrocuted. Why would you pray for him though? Why not? Also, how do they decide who gets to be a priest? How do you figure out what happens in church? Who decides who gets to be... How are you good at priestess? Why don't you gotta go to school? Say again? Don't you gotta go to school? Yeah, but it's not like there's a test. Somebody barking in there? Yeah, we got a dog in here. I'm about to say, y'all taking this DMX Snoop Dogg versus thing a little too far. Listen, you know who I saw this week? That was positively brilliant. Mark, can you take that? And I'm bringing this up because it proves to Taylor that I was correct. Tobias Harris, C.J. McCullum. Tobias Harris and C.J. McCullum. Yeah. Tobias plays for the Philadelphia 76ers. C.J. McCullum plays for the Portland Trail Blazers. Tobias Harris was in a press conference. Taylor can put the audio here if she's not hating on the situation. You know, nothing against the t-shirts, but you want to make sure that Daniel Cameron will arrest the cops and officers involved with Breonna Taylor's death. And yeah, that's all I got to say. But Tobias refused to answer any questions other than to say Daniel Cameron. And I don't even know if that's his name because y'all know I'm terrible with names. I know his last name is definitely Cameron. But the attorney general in Kentucky or the DA in Kentucky, I don't know the fucking title list, but you're like, I am not saying anything other than he needs to arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor. C.J. McCullum spoke about a great conversation he had with Breonna Taylor's mom and how they need to arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor. Now, all of it went viral. If you notice, the media has moved away from those protests. They're not showing you the protest anymore, even though they're happening. They're showing you what's going on in Portland, but that's only because the military is there beating up protesters and breaking up protests. But for the most part, media is not showing you the protest anymore. They're back on COVID and they're back on the upcoming election and they are on Kanye West, right? So it is good that you have the NBA coming back and Major League Baseball even yesterday. Those guys were taking a knee. So it just keeps awareness on what's going on out there in those streets. And this is something else I thought about. And think about the people who aren't LeBron James. Think about the people who aren't Kyrie Irving. Think about those guys who don't have a voice as big as theirs. The only place they'll be able to maximize their voice is with that NBA platform. He is at those press conferences. Think about the people who tweet things like this all day long, post stuff on their Instagram and nobody cares because they don't have a bigger voice as LeBron and whoever else. This is why the NBA will not be a distraction. This is why the NBA and really all sports are going to be so necessary over the next few months because it will be athlete activism. It will be protest through sports. I think it's going to be great. Question. And this is about the Breonna Taylor thing because I've been just reading up about this a little bit. So just break down the events because I'm trying to find out who needs to be held accountable. Who specifically do you point the blame at? The person that made the charge. I told them to... So they're saying arrest the police officers, right? They killed Breonna Taylor. But the police officers were acting on behalf of a faulty warrant, right? A warrant that had the wrong address. And there's a rule that allowed them to just break into a house without a knock, right? So... And correct me if I'm wrong. Did the police officers do what they were legally allowed to do and what they were supposed to do? Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't know. Because I keep hearing people go, arrest the police officers. And my concern is that not enough... Hold on. That not enough people understand what happened with the Breonna Taylor case so that when they see the police officers not being arrested, they're going, see, look, this is a failure of our justice system when they don't realize that the person who created this situation is the person who put the wrong address on the warrant for arrest or warrant for search of seizure. Now, I've heard people say they should arrest the person who issued the warrant as well. But I think with the police officers... She was a lifestealer. The fact that they came in the house and when they shot her, they didn't issue her any aid. If she was alive for like six minutes after the fact and they didn't issue any aid whatsoever. Gotcha. Okay, okay, okay. I think that's where the... So they were negligent after the mistake that they made and you'd have to prove that they like purposely were negligent. I think there's some other things that they did afterwards. They tried to cover it up or something like that. Yeah, like they told her, they told the mom that she was going... Or that she's at the hospital already. The mom goes to the hospital. And she wasn't there. Two hours comes back to still in the house. Right. So it seems to me that there is a cover-up for a mistake that... It definitely was a cover-up. I can't remember what it was though. Right. So then you can hold them accountable for the cover-up. My concern with these things is that we keep pushing a message out there to the world that can't be tried in the court of law. Right? This is like a really fucked-up case. Obviously the cops are what it looks like as if the cops have covered it up. So you have to press charge on them for covering up the murder. You have to press charges on them for maybe not attending to the body after they shot it. Right? But going into the house in the first place, it seems as if it wasn't their fault. No? Well, listen, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't have enough information on the case. That's a thing. As to why they want the police officers arrested. But I know that there's people who've been working on this case and researching this case far more than I have. So they understand why the officers need to be arrested. I do know, like I'm reading here now in the New York Times, she received no medical attention for more than 20 minutes after she was shot. Right. And the police have been investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far from Miss Taylor's home. But a judge had also signed a warrant allowing the police to search Miss Taylor's residence because the police said they believed one of the two men had used her apartment to receive packages. And the judge ordered a so-called no-knock warrant which allowed the police to enter without warning all without identifying themselves as law enforcement. No drugs were in the apartment, nothing. So I don't know. It seems, it seems like at bare minimum, this entire case needs to be investigated. It may be from a neutral source. Not internal, whatever it is. Like, what is that thing, Alex, where like the police investigate themselves? Internal affairs? Yeah, like, not internal affairs. I'm talking about a neutral outside source got to come in and look at this cape, stop to bottom, and see, because it seems like there's a lot of mistakes that were being made and a lot of cover-ups that have happened. And that's what happens when the justice system is connected to the police system. Obviously, you're going to take care of your boy. That's what people do. Yeah, the officers, they didn't knock the entering. The officers said they did knock. Oh. Right. Yeah, they said they did knock and did identify themselves. But her boyfriend said he didn't, they didn't, and that's why he feared for his life and he fired in self-defense. And they said that the police report contained a bunch of errors that listed Breonna Taylor's injuries as none, even though she had been shot eight times and indicated that police had not forced their way into the apartment even though they used a battering ram to break the door open. Yeah, you got it. This whole case seems to be looked at. Let's, this whole case need to be reviewed. There's a lot of wild shit going on over here. Yeah. What a fucking idiot also goes to Matthew Slap. Who's that? Matthew Slap is, he's the head of C-Pack. If I'm not mistaken, hold on, let me get that right. I don't want to, I don't want to mess that up. Matt Slap is, yes, he's the head of C-Pack. Yeah, he's the C-Pack chairman. Okay. And he's a Trump advisor. Okay. We could play that audio. He ought to take an hour and answer all the tough questions. And he ought to release his schedule every day. Instead, we see a speech here or there. He does interviews. He did an interview with a rap star. And he couldn't even get through that without a big foible on the U8 Black. He was on Fox News and he actually was talking about Joe Biden and Joe Biden's cognitive abilities or lack thereof. And he said that Joe Biden couldn't even get through an interview with a rap star without, you know, telling that rap star, you ain't Black. Oh, he brought you up. Yeah. And I got to salute Wendy Osefe, Osefo. I really can't pronounce nobody's name. I hope nobody takes, I hope nobody takes it personal. It's actually remarkable. That's why I have so many nicknames for people. Yeah. Wendy O! What up, Wendy O! My girl, how are you? You know what I mean? I really can't pronounce nobody's name. But Wendy checked them right then and there. And Matt Schlapp talked about the fact that, you know, Biden is hiding in his house. No, he's actually being precautious and he's holding events, but he's doing it while he's social distancing. They have been covered on national news networks. And when, you know, Biden made the comment about African-Americans, that was not a rap star. That was Charlemagne the God, who's a nationally syndicated radio host. You know, I know he's a black man, so you may think he's a rapper, but he's not. And that's what you should do. I am a stern believer. I don't believe in canceling. I believe in counseling. So I don't believe that Matt Schlapp is racist because he referred to me as a rap star. I just feel like he has a cultural blind spot. And I feel like people have stereotypical tropes when it comes to black people. Clearly not tall enough to be a basketball player. But if you see a black person and they have a certain level of success, if you see them on television and they're talking to a presidential candidate, you're just thinking in your mind, oh, that guy's a rapper. And listen, once again, I don't think he's racist. I think that's a cultural blind spot. And it's a positive stereotype. Rap has saved a lot of lives. You know, rap has gotten a lot of people out of the ghetto. Rap has financially empowered a lot of people. So I don't get offended when somebody calls me a rap star. I just think that person needs to be corrected. And Wendy O. Wendy Osefo corrected him right then and there in that moment. And I thought that was brilliant. Now, do you care about the context in which, like, what he was talking about? Do you believe that it's true that, like, Biden is a little mentally off? I think he's old, bro. Yeah. I think he's just old. You know what I mean? I think he's old and he's at that. He's always had gas, right? Like, that was Biden's thing. They always said Biden just would say anything off the top of his head, right? And now he's older and it's really bad. That's what happens when you get older. He's, what, 80? I don't fucking know. You know what I mean? He's older. I'm sure there's some cognitive decline. But that's what happens when you're 80, I would think. Right? I just don't understand how we got into this situation. I don't understand how that is the best candidate on the Democratic side, how they looked at everybody and they were like, nope. And by they, I mean, like, even Americans. Now, Americans looked at everybody they had up there and they were like, no, this is the guy for the job. He can do it. He was the same bed, I guess. He was the guy that, you know, they felt like a win. They still feel like that, you know? He probably is going to win. I don't, I don't know what's going to happen in November. The only reason I don't know is because there's just a lot, bro. You got so much voter suppression. You don't know if you're going to have interference from other countries, you know, you have voter depression where people just don't feel enthused about Biden or any R Trump. So they just don't, they just stay home all together. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. You know what's interesting is both sides believe that they're going to get their vote suppressed. Like, Trump is nonstop tweeting about, oh, they're going to rig the election. You know, obviously you're talking about how Trump's going to find a way to rig the election or there's going to be outside interference. What happens when you cheat on your girl, Schultz? Say what? What happens when you cheat on your girl? Why would you, I don't. Why would you even ask the question like that? Why would you even phrase it? Why would you even phrase a question that has no... Why would I even phrase it like you do it? Yeah, why would you phrase a question that has no good answer? That's a horrible question. It's like saying, how does it feel to have AIDS? Wait, what? You know how you should answer that question? What? You know how you should answer that question? Yeah. I wish you the best. I wish you the best. I wish you the best. I wish you the best. I wish you the best. What happens when you cheat on your girl, Schultz? I wish you the best, bro. I wish you the best. I wish you the best. Hypothetically, I'll tell you it was a reform. I'll tell you it was a reform cheater. Yeah. When you cheat on your woman, you feel guilty. Right. Right. So now you start thinking about all the things she could possibly do to you or has done to you. You understand what I'm saying? That's what Trump is doing right now. Trump is like, these motherfuckers going to beat me at my own goddamn game. They probably got the Chinese working with them because the Chinese hate me. You know what I mean? You don't know what's going through his mind. So I don't know what's going to happen in November. But it's going to be entertaining. I know that much. I think people should be very frightened at the fact this weekend. This week. Really this weekend. Donald Trump did an interview with Fox News. Kanye West had his press rally in South Carolina. Soundbites galore from Donald Trump. Soundbites galore from Kanye West. Where the fuck was Joe Biden soundbites? You didn't have nothing to say, Joe? Yeah. You don't got nothing to offer. Don't think for one second out of sight, out of mind. I'm telling you. He just put out a commercial today with Obama. He just put out a commercial today with Obama, Alex has said. It is Wednesday. Yeah, yeah. Five days of press. And that Obama isn't going to slap. Yeah. It ain't going to slap. We haven't seen it yet. What is he supposed to do? What would you do? I don't know. I would just feel. I would just feel crazy that my voice doesn't resonate as a presidential candidate. Say what you want about Hillary Clinton. Everything Hillary Clinton said got dissected like a motherfucker in the media. People got to love you or they got to hate you. They don't feel any way about you when they just like, I could take it or leave it. That's not a good space to be in, bro. It's not. It's not a good space to be in. And I think that's the space that he's it. And that's why I heard. I'm on joy and read the other day. And that was a good headline that came out because everybody's so, you know, intrigued on who his vice president is going to be because they want something to be enthused by. Yeah. That I've got four black women that I'm looking at. You better put one of them sisters on the ticket now and let's get this shit going. Who do you think is going to get it? Kamala. Um, probably Senator Harris, which I'm not mad at. I did see something really good that came out of California this week. I had some California delegates. So let me see if I can find it. California delegates had put out their list of. Turn your brightness up on your screen. For me. Yeah. It's as bright as it can go. Okay. Yeah. So they had your California progressives. They want Barbara Lee, Karen Bass, or Nina Turner to be vice president. And that was interesting. You know, I mean, the reason that was interesting is because, you know, Senator Harris is California. They didn't put her on the list. They put those three. I love Senator Nina Turner. Senator Nina Turner was with the VP. I find a way to vote twice. Really? Oh my God. Senator Nina Turner is the truth. The one divided by none. I don't even know who she is. Who is she? Oh man. She used to be a Bernie Sanders surrogate. She was with Bernie for both terms. And she used to be a senator in Ohio. She comes on. She's on MSNBC and CNN a lot of times. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. She's a beast. I'm telling you. I mean, it'll never happen. Right? But if Joe Biden was to put her in the VP, oh my God. I'd go out there and stop for that ticket. Really? Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. You know, you were saying, what was it out of sight, out of mind, or whatever the fuck it is? Like how Biden's basically, it looks as if his strategy is just to not say anything bad until he gets the election and then hopefully people. He's trying to quiet game his way into the White House. Right. It's like the quiet place. Don't say anything. Don't get killed. Be quiet. Yeah. Yeah. So I think we were having this conversation yesterday, but it's really interesting. Like, you know how they said, you know, Trump is, or people who voted for Trump are like, you know, he's such a great businessman. He'll do great with the country. Right? You heard that argument? Yep. The problem with that is that he's running the country like a business. And when you're a business, you only satisfy the people that consume the content or services of your business. Right? The vegan restaurant does not care to satisfy the steak lover. It does not care to satisfy the person who eats ribs. Who eats ribs. And the steakhouse does not care to satisfy the vegan. Right? You have your constituents and you satisfy them. Right? And Uber does not care to satisfy people who like to ride bicycles all day. That's not for them. So the thing what's happening with politics is Trump has become this amazing president to the people that fuck with him. Like they love him more than anything. Trump supporters, I've never seen anybody love Trump or a president as much as Trump supporters love Trump. I don't even think- I know why that is. You tell me this. You tell me if I'm wrong. Do you think it's fair to say that Trump supporters love Trump more than black people love Obama? That's a good question. At the time, I'm not sure. Black people loved Obama at the time. You didn't see a lot of pushback. Well, yeah. You didn't see a lot of pushback on Obama until after he got out of the White House. And he was in the White House. It was people that were pushing back on him. Like you had brothers like Cornel West and Tavis Smiley was doing what they were supposed to be doing actually. Which is taking the president to task, right? The president has to answer to his constituents, but black people love them some Obama brothers. So here's the thing. This is the only reason why I bring that up and I ask that question. Because I believe Obama wanted to be the president of the United States of America. He didn't want to be the president of his supporters. And I think Trump has no interest in being the president of the United States of America. He's operating no different than he would operate with a business. Which is, I'm here to support the motherfuckers who support me. So if they like this shit, that's what I'm going to give them. Whereas Obama, I think specifically throughout his presidency, wanted to make sure he wasn't just black people's president that he was the president for everyone. Now, a lot of Republicans might give pushback on that. He didn't reach across the aisle enough. This that the other. Okay, I'm sure there's going to be pushback. And yes, he was satisfying the Democratic base more than Republican base, of course, because that's where his values lie. But it is a really interesting way to look at politics and where Biden might be failing. Because Biden currently does not have a base that he is satisfying and he is not feeding them anything. He's just kind of like existing as not Trump. It's disgusting. And the problem with that is if Trump has turned politics into business, there is no such business as I'm not that business. Yeah, you can't just open up a restaurant, bro. What's in there? What's in there, dawg? Tell us the food. If I got a Chick-fil-A on the corner and then there's just this building. It's just a sign. It's just a building. You ain't no signs. You don't know what's coming out of there, but somebody's telling me that's a restaurant. Guess what I'm going to go do. I'm going what I know, baby. There we go. That number one with cheese. Okay. All right. I'm going to get that chicken sandwich with cheese. And I'm going to tell you something else. You're absolutely right. Not only does Trump cater to one base, Trump gave his base a name. That's a team. Matt is a gang, baby. Make America great again. Yo, people can say what they want. Probably the greatest brand in presidential history. And it ain't even his. It's Reagan's. It's Reagan's. Yeah, but Reagan ain't put that shit on a red hat, though. Still. Reagan ain't put that shit on a red hat and Reagan didn't give that shit a name. Make America great again. Matt. Yeah. First of all, you know how you know that shit was hot? It's hot because rappers. Duplicate it. Make America trap again. Make the hood great again. Yeah, you know, make, make, make, make crack sell again. Like everybody comes up with these different ways to flip it and bounce it. That's when you know you got some dope shit. Say what you want. If it wasn't racist, if it wasn't bigoted, his campaign team would have won that award. They didn't give, they gave Obama award for how we can believe it. Yeah, yeah. I would have got that award if it wasn't tied to racism and bigotry easily. So then it goes into the discussion as to why he doesn't seem to care to satisfy anybody that's not his base, right? And why he's leaning in to satisfy his base, right? So if his base, I'm not saying everybody who votes Trump is a racist. I'm not saying that at all. But if there are people that do, that are racist that do vote for Trump, he's not going to alienate them because remember, he's a business that has to satisfy the customers of his business. So if you sell steak and some people like tri-tip, you're going to keep having tri-tip. Even if you don't like making tri-tip, you're going to keep having it. And that's the problem. What the fuck is tri-tip? I think there's, and then like the little pieces of steak or something like that. You said that shit. I thought somebody tried to swing on T.I. What the fuck is tri-tip? He said tri-tip. You know, I guess sirloin or whatever the fuck. Who knows? I guess what I'm trying to say is like that, he's treating this so much like a business that he is satisfying everybody that's willing to, and pandering to everybody who's willing to support him. And it's a weird way to look at politics because politics is not supposed to be that. We're not supposed to look at politics as a business because it is your responsibility as the president to be the president of all the people in the country. Even if you ran on your platform to get there, you still have to consider half the people that are in the country that do not like those things. And I think it's important to consider them and kind of like be malleable in your beliefs a bit. Donald Trump superserves his audience. That's what he does. He superserves his audience. And listen, you're supposed to be the president of all people. Even if you're not the president of all people, at least fake like you are. Yo, so here's the thing, and I really think this. I think that the legacy of presidents that only satisfy their base is far more intact than the legacy of presidents that try to satisfy everyone. For example, Obama, his legacy, has taken a bit of a hit after he's been out of office. Bill Clinton's legacy taken a hit after he's been out of office. Reagan, who literally only considered, and I'm not the most adept when it comes to politics back in day, but seems like Reagan only considered his constituents. You could say he flooded the hood with drugs, and you could say that he brought a level of conservatism that was, I don't know, not very admired by the left. This guy's a hero to the right to this day. People literally say I'm a Reagan conservative. I'm a Reagan Republican, whatever it is. So I wonder if for your legacy, it's better to say, fuck the haters. The only reason I think Barack, Bill, and even George Bush, their legacies were altered, because George Bush's legacy was altered in a good way. The only reason I think their legacies were altered is because Donald Trump showed how much power you have as a president. And because Donald Trump is doing what you said, which is super serving his people and making sure his people are good and his people are straight, it makes the people who supported Obama say to Obama, why couldn't you do that for us? It makes the people who supported Bill Clinton say, why couldn't you do that for us? And then on the flip side, you still have the people on the right who have been speaking out against Obama, who've been speaking out against the Clinton. So when you have both sides that have something negative to say about you, it does put a little din on your legacy. Not so much the people who've been against you, but the people who were for you. People say, hey, why didn't Obama do more for black people? You know what I'm saying? When you see these brothers and sisters who support Donald Trump and they say Donald Trump has done more for black people than Obama did, yeah, that's a little stain on the legacy a little bit. I mean, Donald Trump got the first step back done, even though it's not like Barack Obama wasn't trying to push prison reform or criminal justice reform. It just kept getting pushed back on. You know, Trump was able to get it passed, right? So it's just little things like that where the legacy gets tainted and somebody like George Bush, his legacy gets better because for the people who hated Bush but think Trump is the worst devil, they're like bring George back, anything would be better than what we have. Only because even if you didn't like George Bush, your sense of normalcy was not affected. America got a routine. You've been out of our routine the past five months, so... So why doesn't Biden run on that? Run on bring back normal? Run on bring back the routine? I mean, you can find a sexier way to say it, but if you know what the people miss, and I'm not speaking of Biden, I'm speaking of his campaign managers, et cetera. If you know what the people miss, run on what they fucking miss. Like, no bullshit? Biden should run on Make America Great Again. It's got to be his combination. That should be his message. That's a good point because, you know, Donald Trump has a commercial running now that says you're not safe in a Joe Biden America. Yeah. All of the footage that they're showing is from the past few months. This is Trump's America. So if I'm Biden, I mean, if I'm Biden, I take you back to how life looked under Obama. I take you back to how life looked under, you know, those past eight years. And I said, let's make America Great Again hard. I don't know, make America Baraka again. Let's fucking know who the hell knows something. Let's take it back to when life was quote unquote normal, because our sense of normalcy has been all the way disrupted. That's the thing. We've never been, we've never been in this position, America, ever. Not since I've been alive. Al, what were you saying? No, the only problem with that messaging, though, is people on both sides have a distrust for the government. So if you try to give them the notion that we're going to go back to status quo, that's not a message people are willing to get behind. I don't think. I agree with you, but I'm going to tell you something, man. That's a good point. A few more months of this shit. Motherfuckers don't give a fuck. Man, give me the goddamn status quo. You're not even waiting on a line too long, and you want one thing. You have to at your making spot. Give me the goddamn jerk chicken. Seriously, because people want what they remember. You can't even get on a plane and just go out of the country, bro. Can I ask a question? Because I heard this criticism. I thought it was interesting, but maybe you have different perspective on it, which is I heard it from a buddy of mine who was liberal, my boy Robbie, who works on the monologues with us. And he's like very liberal, but he said this, it is curious that you see all this uprising and all this like protests and all this like rioting in liberal run cities with liberal mayors. And liberal politicians and liberal, I don't know, governors or whatever, like not governor city, but like, and he goes, it begs the question, is liberal politics no different in terms of what they can do for people, but are they rather only just lying and selling a dream that they can't cash in? Yeah, I mean that's been the question, right? That's been the question throughout the whole Trump administration. That was the question when Hillary was running. But what do you think about that? When you see all these like, I'm gonna get to that. Who exposed that was Barack, right? Because Barack was in the White House for eight years. Right. So you got what people thought was the most progressive, even though he's moderate, the most progressive, he's black, he's liberal, he's Democrat like, America's about to change. But it didn't. Right. You know what I'm saying? But it didn't. So now when you sit back and you look around, and that's been something that they've been pointing out. Like, you look at all of these cities that are run by liberals, the crime is the worst, the poverty is the worst. It's just like, that's what's got people saying, what are we voting for? That's what's got people jumping over to the other side of the aisle saying, I'm down to vote conservative because they putting some money in the hood. They offering something like, people have been turned off by the Democrats. And I'm gonna tell you something, if we don't see something very radical, if Joe Biden wins, I'm talking about, I'm talking about Lyndon B. Johnson radical, like culture changing, shifting. Right. Black people might bounce from the Democratic Party altogether. They might just be independence. You know? Like my man, West Bellamy, he's got the Black Liberty Party now. I expect to see more of that happening. Bob Johnson was calling for Black Lives Matter to be its own political party. I can easily see Black people going with any of these parties and just voting with whoever has their best interests at heart, voting their interests like we always should anyway. But I can see a lot more that, you know, in 20... What is the next? 24? Midterms. Well, presidential like 2024, midterms be like 2022. Oh, 2022, yeah. I can easily see people just voting in blocks starting in 2022. It's just interesting because I never considered like that. And then when it was kind of laid out to me where you see all this unrest and these people who are fighting back, these people who are staunchly Democratic, staunchly liberal, hate Trump are fighting back against systemic oppression when the people that are elected in their cities are Democratic, staunchly liberal, and represent all their beliefs. So it's like, what system are you fighting back against and how is this the Republicans fault if you've done your job as a citizen to elect these people that reflect your views? Why not take some accountability and be like, yo, apparently the people we're electing or the views that we have aren't getting us out of this situation. Like it's almost as if they're protesting themselves. One of the most impactful ads that I've seen is this ad that shows Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and it says something like 100 plus years combined of political failure. Yeah. Because it's like, you're trying to blame Trump. You've been in the Senate all of these years. 40 plus years for some of these people. But you're trying to blame Trump for what's going on, for what's not happening in America because he's been in the last three. It's kind of crazy. And again, I think that when people hear this, they go, oh, here you are stumping for Trump or it is nothing to do with Trump. Like every criticism that someone has of Trump, okay, perfect, let's go with it. Let's say you're right about every criticism you have for Trump. I think the argument you brought up is, which is great, which is like, well, if these are the three people that are running the Democratic Party and these are the three people that are making, you know, the Democrat are choosing the direction of the Democratic Party. And that party has not been helping the people that they're supposed to represent. And the cities that those people live in are the ones that are rioting and doing all this other stuff. Don't you think it's almost in Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and whoever the other person you said, don't you think it's in their best interest that you take all your rage out on Trump and out on them? I'd rather you be upset at that other guy than me, especially if I'm the one lying that I've never asked for over 40 years. Amen. You're acting like these cities haven't had Republican mayors, though. Who? Who was poor? New York City had. Who was Portland? Lilliani and Bloomberg. Who was Portland's Republican mayor? I don't know, not Portland, but I mean, these cities have had Republican mayors. I mean, you know, you think things are better in Philadelphia under Frank Rizzo? No, I don't know, Chris. Again, I'm asking the question, but like, I would go so far as to say that, I don't know. What's up, Al? Crime is... Listen, he's not wrong. I mean, this is a stat, and I just looked it up so I could be clear. America's 25 worst cities are Democrat-led. That's just a fact. You can't argue with facts. And yes, when you see Joe Biden as the president, it's like, damn, we're not going to try nothing new. We tried something new with President Obama. President Obama was something new. I thought the Democrats would continue to go down that lane. I thought that they would continue to get blacker, browner, younger, more diverse with gender. And Joe Biden scares people because, yes, it feels like some of the same old, same old. One saying that Al wants to say something, but another thing, Chris, and again, Chris, I'm just asking these questions here, but I feel like the only way you can make change is through accountability. And I feel like just pointing the finger at the other side doesn't acknowledge, I don't know, the failures of your own side in a way. I'm sure. I mean, look, the Democratic mayors have failed. I mean, to me, it's more a call of, like, do we really want a two-party system? You know? We don't have to be married to a two-party system. Right, I agree. A lot of countries have multiple parties, and that can get confusing, and it can cause issues, and you have to build coalitions, but in a way, it keeps people more accountable, right? Yep. And that's what I would like to see. I'm with you on that. When I vote locally in New York City, I always vote Green Party, Working Party, even if the candidate's on the Democratic ticket, because I just want to encourage there being more diversity in terms of your choices. I don't think it's healthy just to have two parties. So I'm with you on that. I just feel like if I was one of those old senators that's been preaching about all the change you're going to make and how much you're going to help minorities and how much you're going to help the oppressed but hasn't done anything to do it in 40 years, I would love if you focus all your attention on that other party. I would love if you focus that attention on Trump and Mitch McConnell and all these other characters over on the right, because it takes the attention off of me and the fact that I haven't done anything. That's just what I would love. Alex, what were you going to say? Just one thing to note to crime is related to dense populations. Right, that makes sense. And most dense populations lean Democratic. So it's like that. I wouldn't say it's the governmental rule that's causing the crime. I think it's just the population. Al brings up a good point about correlation. You mean like cities? Yeah, like major metropolis. That's not necessarily true though, because I mean you got Memphis and these rural areas like Augusta, Georgia and Florence, South Carolina. Yeah, they'll always be sun outliers. Making Georgia. I'm looking at the list right now. You got cities on there, but you got really these rural areas. Albany, Georgia. Monroe, Louisiana. Florence, South Carolina. Mobile, Alabama. It is interesting. I mean, it is just interesting. It's just like if you really want to make change at a certain point in time, we got to be a lot of less finger wagon. You know, there's got to be a little bit more point at yourself and just going, all right, what can we do? And by self, I don't mean like literally what can I do as a person, but more like holding your party accountable. If you got these motherfuckers that are representing you and you are out in your own city destroying the city and protesting as a city, you are effectively protesting against your decision to elect people. People have lost faith in the Democrats at the worst possible time. And that's a Democrats fault. Like, fuck! Definitely the Democrats fault. 2016 was the worst possible time. And people stayed home. I say this number all the time. 4.4 million people voted in 2012, stayed home in 2016. A third of them were black. And don't be surprised if people stay home like that in 2020. Don't be shocked. And guess what? It's nobody's fault with the Democrats. And they're always putting the burden on black and brown voters to show up for them when they haven't shown up for black and brown voters in fucking decades. It's the truth to the matter.

So, um... Andrew called me yesterday. Showtime. I did. Young Hezzi. And you asked me a question. Showtime. What was that question? I asked you... What are your thoughts on Kanye West? Um... What are my thoughts on Kanye West? As far as what? I was curious about Kanye West. You know, we are potentially going to do the monologue on him and everything that's happened. And I was curious, you know, what you thought his condition was and if he had a condition. And, um... Yeah, I just wanted to know. And I wanted to get your perspective on it. And you, I thought, had very interesting perspective. I think Kanye West, he's clinically diagnosed with bipolar, right? Yes. That we know. But I... I just... I'm skeptical of the fact that all of these manic episodes always tend to happen around album time. And, you know, Kanye... Kanye, by far, is the most entertaining figure in rap ever. Like, it's not even close. If this was wrestling, he is the Wayne de Rock Johnson. Nobody cuts better promos. Okay? Nobody creates more compelling spectacles. He is the best. He knows how to stir up waters to catch fish. And I just... I pay attention to the timeline. I remember, you know, like a month ago, they announced he was a billionaire. Right? Didn't really garner the attention or make the noise that he probably wanted. So he calls up Forbes and tells Forbes, oh, y'all got my fucking network wrong, whatever, whatever. Then, um... And I'm probably skipping some things. Oh, the gap deal. The gap deal gets announced. 5% equity and gap. Great. But that didn't really make the splash splash, you know? What's out of song? What's out of song with Travis Scott with a video and everything? That didn't get a splash. It didn't really go garner a lot of attention. I mean, you know, of course you get mentions and stuff like that, but boy, when you tweet out, I'm running for president in 2020. Even though that should have been something none of us paid attention to because it wasn't real. Just like now the campaign isn't real, but at least I guess he registered with the FEC, but at the time he hadn't even registered with the FEC. So it wasn't even something we should have really gave any energy to. But the media, just like Kanye, loves attention. The media, just like Kanye, loves a headline. The media, just like Kanye loves publicity. So of course the media is going to run with that story and it became a thing. So now, okay, now I got you. Now I got you really paying attention. Let me just keep pushing on this Kanye for president thing. So what's next? All right. I'm not really registered with the FEC. People are not going to take it too seriously, but they are taking it seriously. Let me really register with the FEC and see what happens. Oh, first Kanye says he's dropping out. That gives a lot of attention. Nope, Kanye's still in. He's registered with the FEC now. Now Kanye says let's go have this rally in South Carolina so we can get signatures to be on the South Carolina Valley, glide on the South Carolina, do the goddamn rally, and say all of this wild shit, get all of these headlines. What do you do the next day? You don't even turn in the fucking signatures, right? So how serious are you really about running for president if you don't turn in the motherfucking signatures? How you got everybody up in arms because of a statement you said about Harriet Tubman. It pains me that I can understand Kanye West sometime and what he's trying to say. It really does. It pains me. Because I understood what he was trying to say. All he simply was saying was Harriet Tubman didn't really free slaves because you're never truly free in a white supremacist system. New slaves. Right? But it's bullshit. Harriet Tubman did free slaves. Correct. She did our job. And it's up to us, each generation, to continue to push for the liberation that we all want as black people in this country. Right? That's why I love Tamika Mallory's the name of her organization because it's called Untell Freedom. Right? So Untell Freedom. So basically there's no peace. The work will continue to be done until we have true freedom. So everybody is like a baton. Harriet did what she did. She passed the baton to the next generation. That generation did what they did. And every generation we get closer and closer and closer and closer to the freedom that we're trying to acquire. Right? Boom. Very next day. What does Kanye do to make y'all forget about this Harriet Tubman shit? What the fuck does he do? Now, I'm going to tell y'all something. The last two days have been the most honest and most genuine, I think Kanye West has been. I think when he's talking about his marriage, I think he's honest. I think he's genuine about that. That I truly believe. Right? Everything else I have to be skeptical about. And that's the fifth agreement. Damagel Ruiz told us the fifth agreement be skeptical. But listen, so I'm just listening because I'm aware that the brothers have been clinically diagnosed with bipolar. Right? But it just makes me wonder why all of this stuff conveniently happens when he's got an album coming out. When he's got things he wants you to pay attention to like sneaker releases. I'm not mistaken. It's a goddamn Yeezy dropping on the 24th this Friday. It's an album dropping this Friday. It's a movie dropping this Friday. It just makes me skeptical of these manic episodes and these headline grabbing things he does when he's got an album dropping. That's all I'm saying. I think that I think that that's completely reasonable. I don't think you're belittling mental health in any way when you show your skepticism 100%. And I was on the same page as you until 30 minutes before we started recording this podcast. Optin me. We're having a conversation and it comes to our attention that this last rant or outburst or whatever you want to call Kanye is doing potentially jeopardizes the gap deal which he could make billions of dollars on. Why do you think it jeopardizes it? Because for a brand like Gap or any brand rather you're taking a huge risk when you're doing business with Kanye because of these outbursts. Now you're taking a risk because of the upside. Only desperate brands get invested in Kanye West. Adidas wasn't popping, it was struggling and then he has this huge surge. Gap was as low as you possibly can be. Gap was non-existent and then the stock prices shoot. I'm sure all the people in his camp right now are brand new people because he can only, I'm sure he filters in and out of people. I'm sure some of the closest people around him have no longer friends with him. I'm sure that happened with rappers, I'm sure it happened with producers, I'm sure it happened with the people they're doing. So everybody that's in business with him is basically in business selfishly like, you know, what can I get out of this? I'm attached to this big name, it's popping. But when I figured, when we figured it, the gap deal was at stake potentially because of how crazy he was acting. I go, nah, this has got to be serious mental illness because he doesn't make close to the amount of money on his music as he does on his clothes. The music is pennies compared to clothes, right? So you don't risk billions for millions. And I'm like, oh, shit. And then we were talking to some folks and it turns out Kanye has plenty of these breakdowns. We just don't know about them. Plenty of these breakdowns happen. Plenty of these breakdowns happen when they're not surrounded by a situation like this. And what often happens with his breakdowns is he gets emboldened by his successes. So when he becomes a billionaire, when he gets this, this Yeezy deal, all of a sudden he becomes so, he already has this like amazing belief in himself. But now that increases 10 times and he goes. As it should. As it should. With most people when you have success, or maybe with someone who's bipolar, it goes even more extreme than you or I. And I'm like, oh, shit. This guy is really fucking struggling. So when we see that guy, we see him saying these horrible things and we see them saying these incredibly divisive things and borderline, I mean not even borderline, damn right, disrespectful things. You know, Harriet Tubman risks her life time and time again to free slaves, right? Now she didn't have the ability to free them from systemic oppression. She didn't have the ability to free them from a white supremacist system, but she did free them. But when he's saying these things, I think that while we can ask him to be accountable for his actions 100%, we also gotta realize we're looking at a crazy person, man. Or a sick person. Let's use sick. We're looking at a sick person, man. This person's legit sick. And we enable that sickness when we give him our attention. We enable that sickness when we keep fucking with the clothes and keep fucking with the music. And I'm not saying don't fuck with the clothes and don't fuck with the music, but it's hard for him to not to continue getting these opportunities if the second he drops some shit, we're lined up. You know what I mean? It's just, and I don't have the answer just yet. I don't even know if I'll ever have the answer, but I think the more I look at it, I'm like, wow, here is a person that is incredibly talented and because of his talents, we're willing to look the other way when he is clearly sick. And maybe the thing that we gotta do is just be like, yo, man, we love you, yay. You've done some amazing things, but we want you to get better. We want you to get help and we can't keep enabling the sickness. Well, there's two things about that, right? I don't think any adult can enable another adult when it comes to their mental health issues. And what I mean by that is, Kanye West is 42 years old. I can't hold him down and tie him down and force him to take his medication. You know what I'm saying? Like Kanye is clearly very aware of everything that he's going through because he tells us. It's not like he's a delusional person who doesn't know, hey, I deal with bipolar. You know what I mean? Who doesn't know he's a manic. He's said these things to us on multiple occasions. You know what I mean? I think we do. I think we do ourselves a disservice by making it seem like an adult can make another adult do something. If you know you have a problem or you know you have a sickness, you have to go and treat that sickness. And when it comes to the gap stuff, man, once again, I'm skeptical only because I think he mastered playing a sucker to catch a sucker because those are the gyms that went unheard at the rally, right? When he said things like the gap don't have no black people on his board or Ditas don't have no black people on his board. I'm going to walk away from the gap if they don't do such and such and such. What happens? The gap stock drops like 6% the next day. What does that do? What does that do? It makes you Kanye more valuable now, right? Now people start looking under the hood and like, yo, the gap don't have no black people on his board. And you got to ask, why isn't Kanye on the board of a Ditas? He's made that company's net worth triple quadruple. Why is there no black people on the board of a Ditas and why wouldn't that black person be Kanye West? And when you go in that rally and say, hey, I want 80, 90% from a Ditas I'm going to walk away. You may not get 80, 90%, but they might increase your 15% and put you on the board. And listen, I don't know. I've just seen him do this before and he usually gets what he wants when he does this. You know what I mean? When he does these rants and shit, he usually gets what he wants. He gets what he is going after. He gets what he's complaining about. So I don't know. I think that a lot of times we like to use mental illness and I would never try to downplay anybody's mental illness, but sometimes you can be a man child too. Sometimes you can be a narcissist as well. You know what I'm saying? So two things can be true. It can be all of these things. It's not just one thing. It can be a combination of all of this. Sometimes the mental illness induces the narcissism. Right? And it just makes it that much stronger and that much more powerful. And it makes it that much trickier to treat. You know, I got a lot of mental illness in my family, bro. So it's like something I got to deal with firsthand and I see it. They actually say that certain people, it's not denial. Denial is part of the illness. So as the illness gets, as the sickness gets stronger and you get more and more entrenched into that bipolar episode, it's not that you believe, it's not that you're denying that you have a problem. The illness literally is telling you, hey, people are going to try to tell you you have a problem. Your brain is so willing to believe whatever paranoia that it feels that it's very difficult to talk someone out of it. And I just feel like the only thing that he understands is attention and if we keep on giving him this attention, then he's going to keep on leaning into it. I keep telling people, why do we keep giving this campaign that's not even real attention and then we're going to be upset. We say these stupid things like... Because we love car crashes, bro. Every one of these shows on TV is about the housewives. It is sort of real housewives of that. It's just women fighting. It's just a car crash show. Are you watching cable still? You know what I'm saying? But for real, that's what it is. It's like, how do we get people to fight? We love the fucking car crash. How do we get people to argue, you know? Yeah, and we say these things like, oh, Kanye West is a distraction. He's only a distraction. If you let it be that. You have to turn to that channel. You have to turn to that channel. I'm going to tell you the wild thing about Kanye, and it's always the scariest thing in regards to mental health and just in regards to people who you see crash and burn. It's always the qualities that make you, that break you. A queen in my life, Marvet Brittle, Marvet Brittle who I love dearly, helps me every day as a man and as a professional. She has this quote where she says, your talent will take you where your character can't sustain. Your talent will take you where your character can't sustain. When I see Kanye West, and I've known Kanye West since the beginning because I was in radio by the time he started. So I first met Kanye in like 06, something like that. So I've known Kanye from a long time ago. We got way old pictures together. So I've interviewed him back in the day. When I was with Wendy, old stuff. He's always been the same person. We're not seeing anything different. He used to call these ranch, these things we used to call ranch, these things we now call ranch, we used to call them verbal screams of consciousness. Remember when we used to use that term in regards to Kanye? Verbal screams of consciousness. If he was upset about not being in the fashion industry, he would vent about it. If he was upset about, you know, them not playing Jesus walks on the radio, he would vent about it. If everybody was doing the street rap, Kanye came in the game going to do the backpack shit and everything else. Literally when people would go left, he would go right. It's just that when he went up right, we wasn't fucking with it no more. How dare Kanye West go against the grain? That's who the fuck Kanye West is. He always goes against the grain. Let's be honest for a second people. He stood on that stage and he, he muttered something before Mike Myers and it didn't really make much sense. And Kanye went and did what he always does. First he tries to regurgitate what somebody tells him when he's heard. And that didn't come out right. So he went with his feeling. George Bush doesn't care about black people. No facts to back that up. Okay. No facts to back that up other than, other than what happened in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina, right? And that's how everybody, that's how everybody felt. Charlotte, maybe he meant to say George Bush doesn't care about Iraq people and he got that shit switched. No, no, no, no. He was definitely talking about black people. I think that's what it was. No, no, no. He was talking about Hurricane Katrina. He was definitely talking about Hurricane Katrina. I think he was talking about the war in Iraq, bro. But what I mean by that is the late response that George Bush did in New Orleans, right? It was a late response. But Kanye said George Bush doesn't care about all black people. Let's not sit here and act like that was the most profound shit in the world to say. But that's how people felt at the time. Yeah. They felt that way. Yeah. I think Taylor's saying black people felt that. And that's why they against him. Yeah. I think Kanye West is quite possibly the worst communicator in the history of humanity. That's all I'm saying. Let's not act like just because we agreed with a line, it was some profound shit to say. And I think oftentimes when we see people who are so gifted at one thing, we assume those gifts trickle down to the other things they do in life. I remember once my father would cover boxing back in the day, right? And Muhammad Ali was the biggest fan of Muhammad Ali. And he'd go cover his training camps and that kind of stuff. And he saw Muhammad Ali throw a baseball or a football once. And he threw it kind of like a girl. You know how girls don't have the best coordination when they throw. And my dad could not believe it. They're the most perfect athlete he'd ever seen his entire life through the baseball weird. And I think he was so shocked because you saw someone who was so prolific, right? Not to this other thing, maybe that is Kanye. I was thinking about another point just now. Yes, he's not the greatest. Oh, Taylor Swift shit. Like that shit was ignorant as fuck. Yeah. Like who are you other than an ego driven narcissist? Even though you're in the beauty, the thing that you we didn't get mad at Kanye for. Because he was because we sat back and we was like, yeah, Beyonce should have won. Right. No. What the fuck he did was ignorant and wrong as fuck. Right. All right. Sorry to interrupt you. What he said? Pardon my time. I'm going to give you your time. I can't remember the line now. Damn. I'm going to insert it. But he was like, I'm going to give you your time now. Or I'm going to let you talk. I'm going to let you finish. I'm going to let you finish. There you go. I'm going to let you finish. But. But Beyonce had the greatest video of all time. All right. That's some ignorant shit. But I'm saying all that to say, let's not act like Kanye. What's just started doing ignorant shit? Why are we acting like this isn't the same? It's not about black people. That's all it is. It's because it's not, he's not rooting for, he's not saying or what people aren't seeing. He's not being ignorant on black people. Exactly. But there we go. He's not being stupid on black people's behalf. Yeah. And then he's just being stupid for Maggie and being stupid. Yeah. It's self-serving. But here's the thing. It's always been self-serving. Right. As always been ego driven. He's always been a narcissist. He's always thought he was better than everybody. He's always claimed to be the Louis Vuitton Don. Everybody's like, yo, he loves white people so much. When the fuck is Kanye West not love white people? But Kanye talks about his inspirations. Kanye don't be mentioned in no black people. Kanye's always wanted validation from white people. Well, I think Kanye wants validation from whoever doesn't give it to him. Right. So black people gave it to him. So he's like, all right, that's dope. And then the fashion people didn't. So he's like, I need their validation. And then he finally gets it from them. And then some other group does it. So he's always gravitated to the... It's an insecurity thing, man. He's always gravitated to the people that won't validate him. Yeah. It's got to be another word other than incontrary. Because I'm telling you. And that goes back to what I was saying earlier. The thing that can make you can also break you. Because if you tell Kanye he can't do something, he's going to do it. That's why he was able to succeed as a rapper. His greatest gift is his greatest curse. Yeah. That's why he was able to succeed in the fashion world. Bro. But now you're telling him, don't you support Trump? Fuck you. I'm going to support Trump. Don't you run for president? Fuck you. I'm going to run for president. Like he does whatever it is that you say he can't do. But going back to what Marbet said. Talent will take you to a character can't sustain you. Money don't change you shows. Yeah. Money just multiplies whatever it is to fuck you off. Exposure. I'm saying all of this. I truly believe Kanye West is a good person. I truly believe that. I truly believe Kanye West is a good human being. Yeah. Guess what? He's also a narcissist. Yo. He's also ego driven like a motherfucker. Yeah. I think there's a story. I can't say who told me. But apparently when his first album came out he was having like the celebration dinner or whatever for the album. And there was like 20 people there. It was like the close team. The people that made it happen. The A&Rs. Like everybody who was really there invested in him and made it happen. And apparently at that dinner he's going nobody believed in me. Nobody said I could do this. Nobody said I could be a rapper. Nobody said whatever. And everybody at that dinner is like we believed in you. We're here. Of course we wouldn't be here if we didn't think that you could do it. But he has the mentality of doubt. He has the mentality of they think I can't make it in fashion. They think I can't make it as a rapper. They think I can't do, be on the board of whatever. And that motivates him and that pushes him. But if you accompany that, if you accompany that with mental illness, it's not a good motivator. It's a, dude it's a thing that will destroy you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It drives him. What drives him is people doubting him. Yeah. But when you, when you add paranoia to it, when you add the paranoia of an illness, it's not just like Michael Jordan is the example of someone who had the doubt and it drove him, right? But it didn't drive him crazy. Kanye is the example of someone who has the doubt and it drives him and then it's a company with mental illness. And you don't know what the fuck the guy could do. And let's not discount the fact that he probably hates his fucking marriage. Yeah. Let's not discount the fact that he hates being in that relationship. Let's not discount the fact that he probably hates his mother-in-law. You know? Like he started, I think he tweeted out this morning. He'd been trying to divorce Kim for two years. You know what I'm saying? Like he tweeted that out this morning. Like it's like, Google it. Google it. It's up. Kim for the past couple of years. I don't know why they are still together. Who the fuck knows? If you're Kim, why would you want to be with him? What advantages is it to be with? No, I'm saying like, I don't understand like why people feel like Kim can't not be in this relationship. Like it seems to me that her life gets way easier without him. She got all the money. Yeah. She don't need the money. She got the kids. It's good. Yeah. But what the fuck does Kanye provide her? I personally think that she doesn't want to feel marriage though. I think that's what it is. Because her first one was 72 days. I think a lot of that has to link her. So if you look at it like that, it's almost like, is she the hero in this situation? If she's just in this to try to keep the relationship together and keep the marriage together for either for her kids. Like she's putting up with all that shit. She don't need the money. She don't need the stress. Is she putting up with all this? Was her fifth marriage? No. It's her third marriage, I think. She was with that other guy. So I guess it's like, I don't know. The one dude, then Chris Thompson. No, but she didn't. I thought she married someone like at 18. Yeah, that's right. She married that producer guy at 18. Yeah. All I know is this. All of these things that we're saying could be true. No, I just find it highly, highly amusing that all of this shit happens around album time. Yeah. Why just album time? Yeah. This guy has to be the greatest of all time. The Hulk couldn't even fucking keep this rage in when he wanted to. The Hulk can't control this shit out of fucking Kanye West control this shit. Me just around album time. He let this shit out the goddamn cage. Just enough. Like yesterday, one day, I think it was Monday or Tuesday. He just went on his whole tweet storm. Had everybody going down these rabbit holes. All this shit was trending and he comes back with I'm just going to focus on today. He's just posting track list. Yeah. Even said all that shit about Kim and me can everything but came right back to that goddamn down to track. Yeah. All right. And guess what I'm going to be doing on Friday listening screaming that mother fucking down. Okay. That's exactly what the fuck I'm going to be doing. I told Andrea said, I said, I bet you if I Google right now, it's some Yeezy's dropping on Friday and trust. I'm not a sneakerhead. So I don't know what the fuck this means. So I'm going to read this to y'all. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah. On Friday, the mother fucking adidas Yeezy 380 blue oat reflectives are dropping price $230 release date July 24, 2020. And he got a movie coming out. I respect the fact that this man knows how to create compelling spectacles like none other. The only people that keep motherfuckers paying attention to them the way he does is the Kardashians. And I'm going to tell you something else. I said this on the radio this morning. I don't feel sorry about Kanye spilling all of his family business. And the reason I don't feel sorry about him spilling all of his family business because their family business is spilling their family business. Right. Everybody else should get put on blast. Why can't theirs? And you think that this isn't going to be on motherfucking the new season to keep it up with the Kardashians? Uh-huh. He cutting the check right now. He's like, are the cameras rolling when this shit is happening? The cameras are rolling. Let's get this. OK. Oh, you recording Kim crying on the phone with Kanye? Let's get this. Every little headline about them becomes fodder for their TV show. You think Chris Jenner not about to get a bag off this shit? And guess what? They're going to get a bag off Meggly Stallion too because Kylie Jenner was there. Oh, really? And I think she has something to do with it. Yo, what happened with that? Yo, you know what's crazy? Taylor's taller than Tori Lane's, bro. Yeah. Listen, I don't know if it's true that Tori Lane's shot. I don't know. I don't know if it's true that Tori Lane's shot Meggly Stallion. So what happened though? For real? I don't know. And I don't know why Tori being protected in this situation. Who's protecting him? I mean, I guess they're not releasing that much information about it. Oh, who's saying it? I guess because it's still being investigated so they can't say anything. Yes. But if I'm Meggly Stallion and somebody shot me in the foot in this social media area, I'd be like, yo, Tori, it would have been a tweet. Tori Lane's just shot me in the fucking foot. Yeah. Like, why is they not? It's got to be something more. It can't be as simple as Tori Lane's shot Meggly Stallion. It's got to be something more. What do you think it is? I think she can't say it was Tori because then whatever happened in that situation is going to, her business is going to come out too then. I think Tori Lane was protecting her from something. You think Tori was protecting her from someone? I think it's something we don't know. I think that somebody, I think there's something we don't know. I believe Tori Lane was protecting Meggly Stallion. So he's protecting her by shooting her in the foot? Tori's not in jail. He's not? Tori Lane. No. He ain't been charged with no shooting? Really? I'm telling you right now, I think Tori Lane was protecting Meggly Stallion, bro. And you mean to tell me the best friends in the car, Meggly Stallion in the car, Tori Lane in the car, and nobody's talking about what happened? Get the fuck out of here. In this era where all we do is talk about what the fuck happened in real time? I'm going to be honest with you. I can't see Tori Lane's getting, I can't see Tori Lane shooting Meggly Stallion in the foot just because he was upset with her. No. I can't see it either. I just think it's very strange that nobody has anything to say about this incident. People that were there. That's very weird. That's very telling that this is more than what we believe. I think Tori Shatter, and I think Megan is hiding in fact because her business is going to come out too if she tells that Tori Shatter. What business could she have? What business could she have? Because it was already a secret, I guess, in a way that they were fucking around. They be on Instagram Live all the time, Taylor. Yeah, but people could just think that there's friends. People don't know that they were fucking at night. I love that because it reminds me of when back in my day when I was a whore, all women loved short men. All women love short men, yo. Some of the greatest women that I've ever seen. Man, stop lying to yourself. All women love short men, bruh. All women love, at least. You know why can they pick you guys up too then? If Tori shot Magnus Dian because of his fragile ego, Tori Lane is a complete sucker. But I think it's gotta be more than sorry, bruh. No, anybody fucking with Tori's music after that? I fuck with Tori. Oh, no. What do you mean? If we find out Tori shot Magnus Dian in the foot, Tori is a rat. You think it's over for him? Bro, you shoot a woman? Yeah. In the foot? Let me tell you something. It took Chris Brown forever to rebound. That's not true. You're trying to tell me that it didn't take Chris Brown to ever to rebound? They tried to, but no, no, no, they tried to. He was right back. When he put that song out, he wanted to transform you? All right, sure. They didn't play him on the radio and everything, but he was still coming with some heat. I could transform you. I took Chris Brown forever. No, it didn't. I could come back and transform you. That shit was fire, yo. Are y'all serious? I know mad people that are still listening to Chris. They were upset with him, don't get me wrong. But maybe for like, I feel like maybe two months or three months. No way. No way. You're wild. He was just done for like two, three years. That's not true. He was still playing shit out that people were listening to. Nope. People were chewing double mint. It was all about it, bro. Chris Brown was old nine. He lost all that double mint shit. Radio wasn't fucking with him. You're right. Let me see. Let me see. Chris Brown album after Rihanna incident. Let me see. Nah, he killed it with Transform. I remember that song. But he had like a mixtape. Transform, you probably also. His song was hard, but I didn't like that song. And he was doing Transform, I think. Deuces that he got it back. Deuces. Deuces was fucking in the 2010, or like 2015. 2015. And then also, what was the fast song with Busta Rhymes? Okay, it says, Brown is charged with two felonies stemming from a brutal attack. Remember, Busta Rhymes rapped so fucking fast and it was almost like, Look at me now. Look at me now. Look at me now. Okay, he put out an album called Graffiti. I can transform it with a single. Transform You Killed. That shit was crazy. I don't remember Graffiti being a big album. What? Graffiti was not a good album. No, it was on the way back. That's how he was getting back. Transform You. He peaked at number 11 on the R&B Hip Hop Songs chart. The next day they let Chris Brown perform at the BET Awards, he cried. That was the breaker when he did the Michael Jackson tribute. If you look at this, Rihanna was killing. Rihanna had number one album. Exactly. Like she was killing. Yeah. Chris Brown's first number one single since 2006 was Deuces. And that was a year and six months after the Rihanna incident. That's nothing, bro. That's cool. That's quick. He was chilling. That's quick. But no, no, no. I want to say, though, the problem was he kept getting in trouble. He kept getting in trouble. He kept getting in trouble. He was beating someone. Remember the radio show? He just started chilling now. Good morning, America. Yo. Just started chilling. Listen, let's pay some bills. How about that? Yeah, let's pay some bills. But the moral of the story is, I guess, I don't know, pray for Kanye? Yeah, pray for him. Have him in your heart, man. By the way, real quick, when y'all motherfuckers say pray for somebody, don't just use the goddamn hashtag and some prayer hands. Really get on your motherfucking knees and pray for people and stop performing for fucking social media. I hate that shit. Because I know y'all don't really pray. If you be honest with yourself, be honest with yourself. Taylor, did you put hashtag pray for ye? Did I put hashtag pray for ye? Yes. No. Have you said pray for ye in the past couple of days? Yeah, actually talking about it. Did you really pray for him? Hold on, tell me about it. Why do I have to get on my knees to pray? Why can't I just, like, be right here and pray? You didn't, though. You ain't do that. How do you know I don't be praying? God is watching you. Yeah, he does. He's listening, too. God's going, hey, God's going to transform you. You better freaking, hey, tell the truth. I prayed last night, honestly. Not for Kanye. I did put Kanye in it. She is lying in her ass. Oh, my gosh. And God knows you're lying. That's the crazy part. God knows you're lying about this. Why do you think I have to be lying about that? If I just said, I would just say no, then. I promise to God that you prayed for Kanye last night. I promise to God that I prayed for Kanye. She said she put him in it. She didn't say last night. No, you said you put him in it. I put him in it. At the end, the middle. I don't believe you. Where, where, like, what did he get? Was he like the star? Was he one of the stars? Were you a co-star? You did? Yes. Thank you. I don't understand why you have to get on your knees to pray, though, Charlotte. I don't understand why that's part of it. You could probably do the prayer just as good. If anything, you're closer to God standing. Right? Like, if anything, you should be looking up on your tippy toes, like, yeah. You're just like, yeah. I don't think you have to get on your knees to pray, but I just want you all to look at all the lies Taylor told in a matter of 10 seconds. First, she said, I, I, I, I prayed for him. I just didn't get on my knees. Then she said, no, I prayed for him last night. You did? Were you on your knees last night, Taylor? Was I what? Were you on your knees last night? No, I wasn't. See what I'm saying? Something ain't adding up. What are you talking about? I don't care though. I don't care. God knows. So it don't matter if you lie to me, Andrew. Will it make it better if I pray right now? Will it make it better if I pray right now for him? You should repent for, for, so, so God don't transform you for fucking saying promise to him when you know you lied. That's it. Let's do it. Do the prayer for Connie. Leave the prayer Taylor. Let's go. Leave the prayer. God will protect you. Leave the prayer for Connie. Go Taylor, go. All right, go. This is a lot of pressure. Now your head. Dear God, you go. Dear God. Dear God. With all this tragedy happening in the world and pandemic. I'm really bad at this. I know you've never done it before. No, we've done it in public. That's exactly how I know you've never done it before. I don't know how to pray. No, I know. I do not know how to pray in public. I'm dead serious. Let's do it. You don't know how to pray in private. Dear Lord. I'm not here. Dear Lord. Yes, act like we're not here. All right. Dear God. This is how you just usually talk, my dear God. Let's go. Please thank you for looking over everybody I care about. And please look. What about people you don't care about? He also looks over them. God bless them, too. You can't interrupt the prayer show. Is that disrespectful? Oh, my bad. This is a real prayer. Sorry. Go. Go ahead. Go. All right. Dear Lord. Thank you for looking after me and everyone that I care about. And these trying times, please look after Kanye West, who is obviously dealing with a lot of not just stress, but a condition. And please guide him through his decisions, the right decisions. Please give him the strength and courage to say the correct things and find the words for the correct way to say what he really wants to say. And please just bless over everybody. In Jesus' name, we pray. Yeah. That's fine. That was a good prayer. I felt that one, yo. That's going to him. That's cutting the line, bro. Kanye and Andrew tweeted throughout the whole shit. I was praying in my way. You know what I mean? We all, we all reach God in different ways, bro. Andrew said, I'll let you do the prayer. I'm going to put this hashtag out. The hashtag pray for you. But isn't that a prayer in a way? Anyway, if you feel like if you're tweeting it, you feel some type of way forward in a way? No. No, think about it, bro. That is not a prayer. So you say the people that are just tweeting prayer hands for Kanye, you don't think that they don't want? Absolutely not. It's all performative. They have not. If they're being honest with themselves, they have not performed. They're performing for each other on social media. Do you understand when something is hot? You got to get them lights. You know, you're driving by that Krispy Kreme and that goddamn hot and now light is on when a topic is hot. You got to post about that shit right then and there in order to get them lights, bro. In order to get them retweets. In order to get them reposts. Yes. So I don't believe people that say pray for you. I really. You know, one thing I've always prayed for was clothes that fit and it's actually cool that there's this company now called Indochino did it. They will make custom made custom made and custom size clothes for you. Okay. You can go into one of their locations. Obviously with Corona, it's a little bit tricky, but you can also do the digital, the virtual style consultation and shop online. It's amazing what they can do.

I love the shirt, but it does not fit because it's not made for my body type. It's made in this generic style and size that they hope will fit the most amount of people, not Indochino. I'm telling you, they do custom tailoring, custom suits, all for an affordable price. What you've got to do is you've got to do that virtual style guy. Just do the virtual style consultation.

We drop them on Saturday so they've just been going crazy. I'm glad that y'all liked them and y'all have been sharing them. And I appreciate that so much. So keep doing that, man. It means a lot. Y'all do a great job. Thank you. With those monologues. Shout out to the team, man. Shout out to Alex Media, Mark Gagnon, Robbie Slovic, and Miles McCreary. There's four of us putting these pieces out and it's a lot of work, but it's fucking awesome to do so. They rip on YouTube. The best thing about the monologues to me is I don't have to agree with somebody as long as they make me think. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's all I asked for. All I asked for in the conversation, even if I disagree with you, I don't approach a conversation convinced. I approach a conversation with what I believe I know. If you can give me a compelling argument that makes me think about what I think I'm convinced by, you did your job. Yeah. As a personality, as a commentator, whatever. You know? Yeah. And I told Andrew last week I said, give me all the black jokes you don't use. No, that should crack me up. Because I know you got some good black jokes that you ain't letting rip. And that's good. I'm glad you're not letting them fly, all right? Everybody gets these jokes. Everybody gets these jokes, bro. We keeping it all in. I got a lot of content, you know, that I got a lot of things I got to create in the next couple of months, so. Man, you know I got you, bro. Anything I could do to help on there. Give me all those black jokes. Give me the ones that you know gonna make me cringe and laugh at the same time. The ones that Alex says we can't include right before we start recording. There you got the one, there's the one. Those are the ones I want. We always do a black read through. Listen, black jokes matter, bro. They do, bro. What they matter when they come from black people, slide them until me. Let me take all that heat. All right? Matter of fact, when I start this new TV show, when you see me say certain things, right, I want y'all as brilliant idiot listeners to be like, that was a hazy. That's a hazy. That came from hazy. Oh, shit. Now let's do some asking the idiot and get the fuck out of here. Let's do it. What we got, Taylor? Okay. Well, you can already answer that. So, black underscore six, how would y'all feel if y'all had kids ages 18 to 25 that decided to date someone older than y'all like 50 and up? Would y'all be mad at that? Wait, what is the question? Basically, would y'all be mad if y'all... That's a lot of math and that shit. Basically, would you be upset if your daughter dated someone older? Than me? Yeah, almost like... But she said like y'all 50 and up. That's what it said on here. That's what it said on here. No, my daughter cannot date nobody older than me. No. Without a doubt, no, never. Not happening. Okay. Sharla, you actually have daughters so this is a real question to you. I mean, you know, that's such a difficult question because you really can't control what a young lady does or wants to do. And I think that a lot of times when women get put in those positions they do what Kanye West does. They do what you tell them not to do. You know what I'm saying? She gon' do that. I really don't know. I wouldn't like it. I definitely wouldn't approve of it. I definitely don't want this old motherfucker coming over for Thanksgiving. Okay? What the fuck is wrong with you? And if I had one goddamn complaint that my daughter don't know who the fuck Wu-Tang Clan is, I'd probably punch you in your fucking mouth. Yeah, you my age and you're dating a goddamn 18, yo. Of course you wouldn't know what a fuck Wu-Tang Clan is. Yeah. Imagine that. Imagine a motherfucker come to my house. He my age. Mad at me because my daughter don't know Wu-Tang. I thought you was the hip hop guy, Sharla. It'll be an accidental shooting in Jersey that night. Sorry. Yo. Okay. And it's stressful. A little accidental shooting at the house. You gotta worry about your daughter and your wife. That gotta come for the whole family, bro. He come for the whole family. Everybody's on watch. Listen, I don't judge men that date, you know, much, much older, much, much younger women. I don't judge. But I do judge. Because I just don't understand why the fuck would you at 42 years old want to date an 18-year-old woman? Don't they say to give them more energy or it keeps them young? You better take some CMOS. You better find some strong pre-workout or something. What the fuck do you mean? Okay. Yeah. What else? What else we got? This is asking an idiot. A clock with no hands wants to know 100,000 years from now, name one person that will be discussed most of all people that's present living today. Who will be discussed the most? 100 years from now? 100,000. 100,000 years from now? We don't discuss nobody from 100,000 years ago? So just do 100, 200 years. 100 years from now, who will be discussed the most? Current person. It's going to be a lot. I would say not. I don't think Trump, I'd actually think depending on what happens it's Elon Musk. Because if we go to Mars and we actually like populate Mars like they're thinking we're going to do, well of course motherfuckers are going to talk about the guy that got us there. So I think it might be Elon Musk. And also if we do the Neuralink thing that he's talking about where we actually like partner up with robots and we use Neuralink to like improve our brains and if all of us are on that we're going to talk about the guy who started it. I think it's Elon Musk bro, 100 years. It depends on if the Elon Musk of Mars or whatever planet or universe comes to Earth. You know what I'm saying? If they get here first then it's a wrap. That's what I'm saying. If aliens come here first, Elon Musk is no longer genius. Yeah. He's only genius because based off our standards and our IQ levels and what we've created here. He's the tallest midget. There you go. He's Tori Lanes. There you go. He's Tori Lanes in a room full of dooballs. Okay. All right. He's Tori Lanes in a room full of dooballs. Stop acting like Tori's taller than dooballs. I'm about to say dooballs definitely taller than Tori. No. Dooballs way taller than Tori. Yes. Yes. 100% yes. Dooballs definitely taller than Tori. Yes. And his voice gets way lower when he goes... No. He's not. You know why I know? Because I've never seen the top of Tori Lanes' head standing up. When you're standing by dooball, you can see his bald spot. Okay. Remember when we had Tori in the studio? Yeah. And I had to overhead care. I tried to get Nick to come put the camera on his bald spot. And he was about to fight Nick. But we had to revoke TV cameras, get that overhead shot. I couldn't see that just standing up next to Tori. We were sitting down, too. No, but even standing up, you didn't notice that? You noticed the bald spot in dooballs, hey? I think he was wearing pumps. Tori got dooballs, bro. Or some sort of platform shoe. Tori got dooballs. I don't think so. No, dooballs taller, bro. Everything. You think so? You think because... Dooballs taller. Dooballs skinnier, though, and you like... No, they're both pretty skinny. Tori's real skinny. Yeah, but dooballs shows more how skinny he is. You think? Yeah. You always see... He always has his shirt off. You don't see Tori laying... Tori only got his shirt off the whole time. Yeah, you ever saw that quarantine live shit he did? Yeah. Okay. Anyways. What else? Is this last two? Yeah. Okay. Two more. Ask an idiot. Demo? Demoa? With canceled culture at an all-time high, do y'all think there's anyone who's truly uncancelable? You're as cancelable as your fans allow. I think 50 cents uncancelable. Nah, it's your fans dictate if you're cancelable or not. That's all it comes down to. Everybody's a business, you know what I mean? And the shareholders decide. So if you decide to do a show on Comedy Central, for example, and you say something that the fans of Comedy Central don't like, then they could cancel you from that show, but those people can never take away your fans. If your fans fuck with you for who you are and what you say in your natural opinions, the only way you can get canceled by your fans is if you change your opinions. So that's what people don't realize about this cancel shit. It's like you get canceled from spaces that your fans never existed in the first place. But if your fans fuck with you for what you say, they'll let you say whatever word, have whatever opinions because they know your intentions. Who's truly been canceled though? Say again? Who has truly been canceled? You could lose shit. You know more than anyone. You could lose shit. You can lose opportunities, but who's been canceled? When people say canceled, what does that even mean? I think we throw that term out there because we need to have a word for what we're attempting to do to a person. Who the fuck has really been canceled? What about that politician that used to be on SNL from like Minnesota or some shit? Fuck is Al Franken? Al Franken. He out of here. He lost his job, but he still comes on TV sometime. He does? Yeah. I think I see Al Franken. Anthony Weiner. He got canceled. He got canceled. Yeah. Look, look, I'm not saying that. Politicians are different. Okay. I think politicians are different because they actually can lose shit and that's their livelihood and they can never be in politics. Because they're liars. Talk about entertainment wise. Not because the same thing holds up with politicians. They're lying to their constituents. They're lying to their fans, their supporters about who they are. So when the truth comes out, their supporters go, oh, you weren't who you said you were. If you're truthful in what you are and what you do, like imagine people trying to cancel me for making a fucked up joke. All my fans are going to be like, do you not know who he is? He makes fucked up jokes. That's what he does. You see what I'm saying? You get that until you make the fucked up joke about somebody that's also fucked up that they like. Not because they expect that from me. In my opinion, they expect that from me. They expect the fucked up jokes. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know who's I don't know what what what what canceled culture is even trying to accomplish. Like I don't know who's can I'm beyond which I don't know who's canceled. But I haven't seen nobody get canceled yet. Even when they say shit like Kelly. Yeah, Kelly's, I guess canceled. But because he's not able to make content off himself, but people still make content off him. You understand what I'm saying? So even though he's not able to profit off his own name and his own story, other people do. Right. So I don't know. Same thing with Bill Cosby. Like Bill Cosby is not able to make money off his own story. But somebody came out with a documentary about Bill Cosby right now. So you're really not canceling a person. You're still giving them energy. You're still keeping their name alive. Right. In a wild way because you can't tell the Bill Cosby story without telling all this all the shit he accomplished. Right. Because you have to talk about the shit he accomplished in order to show why this downfall meant so much. Same thing with all Kelly. I need these people. So I don't know who I really don't know. I think canceling just means losing an opportunity or losing a job. I think that's what cancer doesn't mean like they have to like stop being a human being. It's simply do they get fired? Did they lose an opportunity? Did they lose a job? It just means being black balled in a way. Or yeah being potentially black balled. But like you could always come back in different spheres but I think that's canceling. And I think it is out there. And it's also are you losing a job for something that you don't really believe in? Is Louis C.K. canceled? Yeah. He lost a lot. Now he's still able to operate but he lost millions of dollars, lost opportunities, lost his reputation though. So yeah it is a problem but like what's I think the way that you move around is you create your fan base and create your supporters who know you and know your intentions and then you service them. And it's when... I wonder how that's that's interesting, right? Because I wonder how Louis C.K. fans feel because Louis C.K. you know he was the king of that, right? He was the king of fuck the industry. I'm gonna give it to you the way I want to give it to you, right? And his fans love him but he also admitted to doing what it is they accused him of doing. Not exactly. I thought he admitted to jerking off. Yeah but there's a lot more that goes on to that and I'm not really allowed to talk about it but there's a lot more that goes into that story and that's the problem of when you give public apologies is you apologize for what people think you did not what you actually did. So when he said I'm sorry everybody was like oh he held the door closed and didn't let the girls out and jerked off all over him and it's like that's not... Well every detail may not be true even stuff. I'm a fan of you. That's weird bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Even if I'm a fan of yours that's weird that you just you just like you like jacking off around people? Yeah. That's a little strange. That's all I just wanted to know how his constituents feel about him. Yeah. That's all. Yeah it's possible. Anyway don't jerk off on girls. Beg's Brighton he wants to know do you think if you grind and work hard enough anyone can make it or make it to where they want to be or do you think some people will work so hard and still end up not making it? Do you have any examples of people who you know that never made it but they always worked tirelessly? I think there are a lot of people who like think they're working hard. But what's making it too? Also another thing is making it but like I think there's a lot of people who think they're working hard but they're just doing the fun part. You know like I know there's a lot of stand-ups who will do like five shows a night or four shows a night and for me I've always looked at the stand-up being on stage as not work that's the fun. The work is what happens off stage going over your sets understanding how to make jokes better understanding how to like market yourself and how to get your name out there and understand what your demographic is and like what's happening in comedy and how you can get advantage. Like I never once looked at being on stage practicing the jokes as work because that is so much fun. So I think a lot of people get confused about the hours of work they put in. They're like yo I'm going up every single night or yo I'm practicing this every single night and say yeah that's the fun that's not work. Do the work you'll get where you need to go. Yeah I mean that's a loaded question I don't know if that is like one correct answer to it because yeah I do think making it is subjective you know what I'm saying and I also think that sometimes you may have a good plan but it's not God's plan for you so yeah you might work every night bust your ass and you might make a great living but you might not ever become Kevin Hart you know what I mean? You might not ever become Dave Chappelle but does that matter? You know what I'm saying? I don't know if that matters or not. So it's just really about what your definition of making it is. I know a lot of millionaire comedians who are not all over your television and the house is amazing their cars are amazing they get to pay all their bills what's the dude name that was always touring the Indian guy Russell Peters killing it who wouldn't want to be Russell Peters? I mean at one point in time I think he was the most successful comedian in the world that's what I'm saying I guarantee we said that name a lot of people probably don't know who Russell Peters is why wouldn't you want to be Russell Peters because he sold out the garden sold out arenas all around the world making it is subjective and also you work hard and you're going to get what you will out of it I think the biggest thing is defining what making it is I don't understand it's like deciding what is enough for you or what is it that you truly want yeah alright y'all appreciate you for tuning into Brilliant Idiots this week my brothers my sisters we apologize from last week sorry for being late last week we've been busy man ain't nobody got time to be losing shit because of y'all we gotta comb through this shit with a fine tooth comb I don't know about y'all but my definition of making it is a lot different right and I'm bringing people with me okay appreciate y'all man that's all as always if you listen to this podcast you think we're smart you think we're intelligent you think we're brilliant you're absolutely right if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit you're right too Brilliant Idiots podcast thank you for listening
