 Yep, Charlemagne, the God Andrew Schultz. We are a brilliant idiots podcast, back for another week of brilliant idiotness. How you feel, Heather Kyle Walker? Yo, I feel good, man. You got superpowers too? I do definitely got superpowers because I look directly at the motherfucking eclipse. See, I figured it out, right? Talk to me. They tell us don't look at the eclipse because that's how you get your motherfucking powers. See, now, honestly, that's the thing. That's what I'm trying to say. You know, you know. Right at that motherfucker. Don't listen to them. Don't listen to them. And then everybody who didn't look at it is jealous. Why do you think Trump's got so many superpowers? Because he looked right at it too. Also, all of us made fun of Trump like we didn't do the exact same fucking thing. I know y'all looked at it. I did it a couple of times yesterday just because I forgot to put my glasses on. Hey, I don't even want to say what I did. What'd you do? What'd you do, man? You held the baby up to the goddamn eclipse. No, I didn't do that. No, I didn't. Yes, you fucking did. No, I did it. You fucking did it. I thought my glasses were broke. So basically, I looked up at the sun and I didn't see anything different. And I was like, I don't think it started yet. Everybody's posting these pictures where it looks crazy dark. Oh, because different locations. And you just see the sun. It only did that in Texas. It got crazy. No, I'm saying in New York. I ain't see that. They're all taking pictures through the sunglasses. Oh. I didn't know. So they sent me these pictures and I'm like, is this your only in Brooklyn? The fuck is wrong with the sun? I haven't had it. It's got you, got you, got you, got you. So I didn't realize in order for the sunglasses to work you have to stare directly at the sun. That's right. Everything else is black. Then obviously I figured it out. I got mine from NASA. NASA sent me like three pairs of glasses. NASA ain't sending you shit. Shut up. They did. I should have bought the letter. They sent me a whole, NASA sent me three pair of glasses, yo. NASA. I'm not even joking. Am I lying, Taylor? They sent that shit express to the motherfucking radio station that she got delivered on a Saturday. The mailman had to sign for it, bring it down. They had to do these three motherfucking glasses from NASA. Damn, I should have bought them shit with me, yo. Yeah. Y'all think I'm bullshit. You are. I promise on everything. All right, anyway. So NASA gave me some fake glasses. NASA gave me three glasses. And that's what NASA's up to right now, man. Yeah. Send the glasses to the breakfast crew. Cancel NASA. No, they sent them to Charlotte. You know what I got? I got some glasses from Space Force. I'm not even joking. Jealous? Jealous? I even shouted the young lady out yesterday. Jealous? You're jealous. I looked right through my cowboy hat. This is how I watch the fucking solar eclipse right through the cowboy hat like that. What's up with the cowboy hat? What's the significance? Taylor thinks that Black people invented country music now. She can't just accept that Black people are dick-riding country right now. That's probably because she read this book. What is it? My Black Country, A Journey Through Country Music's Past, Present, and Future, which is in bookstores right now. That seemed like a good setup. Can we burn this, Chris? Can we get to the bottom of burning this book? Thank you. We have to rewrite history. This is terrifying. Excuse me, this is terrifying. Please. Hello to my god, Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones, you know, he's the big nationally syndicated country radio personality. Of course, we know Bobby. Yeah, and I mean, it's like, fuck, does he know about Black country music? The banjo, the banjo is an African instrument. Talk to me, but is it made out of like, parts of the instrument that white people don't want? The banjo is an African instrument. Are you saying there's a soul food instrument? No, I'm not. A fried chicken guitar? The banjo is an African instrument, and like, the banjo is literally, how country music started? The banjo. The banjo. Look it up. I don't know if it was. Yeah, I'm telling you, Google it. Banjo. Banjo, how do you spell banjo? Oh, is this, this is written by Alice Randall? Alice Randall. Shout out to Alice. She's a professor at Vanderbilt, and she is the first Black woman to ever write a number one country record. She wrote it for Trissy Yearwood. Yes, banjos. Few musical instruments are more deeply connected to the American experience than the banjo. The banjo was created by enslaved Africans and their descendants. White people can't event nothing, huh? And their descendants in the Caribbean can't event nothing. White people can't event nothing. America. Here they maintain a perpetuated tradition with a complex system of slave labor camps, plantations, and in a variety of rural settings, rural and urban settings. From the earliest revolutions in the 17th century and through the 1830s, the banjo was exclusively known as an African-American tradition with a West African heritage. Stop. When Persian distinguishes the banjo with that it did not come from Africa. Nobody cares. As is the unauthorized tradition. Ioki Lee Simmons is dating an old guy. I'm just telling you. Listen, you're not going to take country from us. All right, white people invent a rap, Shakespeare. Well. White people invent a rap, Shakespeare. Look up the name of Taylor Swift's next album. Shakespeare. This is what y'all don't know. What? Brilliant idiots exclusive. I'm not even supposed to be saying this. Bye, bye, bye. But I'm putting it out there. Bye, bye, bye. Beyoncé and Taylor Swift got a whole plot. Talk to me. Got a whole plot. Talk to me. To fuck up the game of music and America. What? Why do you think Beyoncé, pull up, take the name of Taylor Swift's next album. Pull it up, Taylor. Beyoncé just dropped the country album called Cowboy Caught. OK, and Taylor's about to drop. What's the name of Taylor Swift's next album? Look it up. What is the? That's not, that was her last album. What is Taylor Swift's next album? She's dropping in May. Put Taylor Swift's new album in May. Taylor Swift's new. What's it called? The Tortured Poets Department. I know. The Tortured Poets Society. The Tortured Poets Society. Department. Department. The Tortured Poets Department. What y'all think she gonna be doing? Wrapping. Wrapping. Taylor Swift bought the fucking game up. Beyoncé dropped the country album called Cowboy Caught. Taylor Swift is about to drop an album called what? The Tortured Poets Department. It's going to be a rap album. Rap. Bars. Bars. Why not? Bars. What do you mean why? You ain't say why, but Beyoncé dropped country. Rapper, though, either. Don't matter. Don't matter. She's doing white shit, so now Taylor's gonna do black shit. Beyoncé went to a genre. And Taylor Swift's going to another genre. And it's going to be fire. And nobody got bars like her. And it's smart to call it poetry so she don't have to rap. So she don't have to exactly. But she's rhyming her ass off. Bars. I heard some of it. I'm not even joking with y'all. I think I'm bullshitting. I heard some of it. She's rapping her ass off. Tell me what you're hearing. What you're hearing. Listen to me. Tell me. Bars. Bars. I don't know who the fuck she got writing for her, but she's snapping. She's snapping. She writes her own shit? She writes her own shit. No, no, no. Not these raps. Tracklist. That's the tracklist we knew album? My boy only breaks his favorite choice. Featuring Poets. Who album is Post Malone on right now? Talk about it. Who album is Post Malone on? Talk about it. Beyonce. Beyonce. Dance. OK. The Torture Poets Department. My boy only breaks his favorite toys. Down bad. What else? No long London. Butt Daddy, I love him. Fresh out the slammer. You think that's not going to be a rap record? That's a rap record. Fresh out the slammer. Also, Butt Daddy with two D's is crazy. Why does she smell Butt Daddy? Executive produce by D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D. OK. All right. Hold on. You skip over side C. Side C. Guilty as sin. I mean, that's definitely. Come on. Who's afraid of a little me? Definitely. I can fix him. No really, I can. What's that one called? L-O-M-L. Love of my life. I'm trying to think which one I heard. Scroll down, Taylor. Side D, I can do it with a broken heart. The smallest man who ever lived, the alchemy is produced by the alchemist. That's the one I heard. 100%. It's produced by the alchemist. And what's the other one? Sierra Bow Wow. That's what that says, right? What does it say? Clara Bow. Oh, Clara Bow. And the bonus track is the manuscript. It is a duet with her and Beyoncé barring it up. It's a straight bar. Barring it up. It's Beyoncé. Jadakiss style's P-Shit. That's it. I thought you was going to say, first person shooter. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, first person shooter, they weren't going back and forth. Like Styles and Jada go like bar for bar. Like Taylor and Beyoncé are going bar for bar. But just remember you heard it there first. Beyoncé dropped the country album, Cowboy Carter. Takeover, please. Taylor Swift is dropping a rap album called, what's it called? The Department of Motor Vehicle. Twisted Police Department. What is it? The tortured police. The tortured police department. Don't say like that, hater. Yo, it's crazy how the ego goes. You sound like you were talking about Beyoncé in the country. Why? No, no, I don't. Yeah, you do. No, I don't. No, I really don't. I love it. Because Beyoncé. I could say, yeah, more times you could say no. Guaranteed, Andrew, exhaust you before you exhaust her. Guaranteed. Yeah. Guaranteed. Come on. Guaranteed. Beyoncé already made a song before and that's what gave her. You lost already. Daddy's Little Girl, that was a country song already. You lost already. For what? What did you call her and came before the pod? The Incredible Boat. I feel so safe with Taylor's. It's 76 degrees. We're taping this on Tuesday, it's 76 degrees. Taylor got the guns out. Guns out. Guns out. You really do got that. Guns out. Girl. Girl. You're a cowboy. You know what I mean? Look at you, my little ranch hands. Dang it, y'all. For real. I'm going to be bumping that shit all spring and all summer. Taylor, we need that flex. We need that flex for the camera. Come on. Put the pressure on. Woo! You got a steroid. Yo. What? Don't do that. No, you don't want steroids. That's a trick for me. Because when I was in elementary school. They thought you were on steroids? Yes, but y'all is bigger than them. No way. But I had more buses than them. It's crazy. You ain't been bigger than nobody. No. No. Come on. Taylor just be making shit up. She makes shit up and we believe it. Every week. Steroids believe it. Every week we believe it. I promise you. They called you young steroid in elementary school. No, the other one called me young. You always put the young in front of it. They called you steroid. They called you steroid? They always be like steroids. And then every night when I was in the law. The incredible bulk. Oh my God, man. The incredible bulk is in the building. Damn. I used to be mad diesel when I was younger. Steroids. I believe it. I asked my mom. I used to just go in the monkey bars and then just. Come on. What the fuck was your mom doing? Don't make me. Come on. They might have missed something. Y'all got it. Y'all got it. Just chillin' on that. Y'all got it. You guys doing pull-ups in the monkey bars? No. I just was a very energetic kid. I'm big. I'm not. I'm big. I'm sorry. I did gymnastics. I did gymnastics a lot and stuff. What grade was this? How much is cool? All right. All right. Cool. Shout out to Taylor, man. Yo. Speaking of where we want to start. I don't know, man. But Taylor, yo. First of all, we love you. We appreciate you. That's it. All we ask you to take it easy on that keyboard. Pushing your fingers straight through the goddamn computer like you've been doing. You really are. You need to chill out. What does that say? A power to what? Power to the Holy Ghost. What is that? All means necessary. Go to J. Cole's response, man. Okay. Let's get right to it, yo. Let's get right to it. Do that. J. Cole. Let's hear what J. Cole. This is J. Cole's response. This is J. Cole at Dreamville Fest. This tweet is... This is my 9-1-1. This is my 9-11. This is my 9-11. Yo, come on. I don't know. That is so harsh. I didn't see the slash. What's your thoughts, y'all? Um... Okay. I thought... Okay, there's this conversation like who's the best in the game. Is it Kendrick, Drake or J. Cole? Mm-hmm. First of all, I'll listen to J. Cole do features on songs and I'll be like, Holy shit, this guy the best rapper alive. He's so fucking talented. He's amazing. He also seems like an incredibly likable dude. He seems like kind, good-hearted. Like has people's good intentions on his mind. Um... So there's all this positivity around him. I don't really think he has any enemies. Most people like working for him. He likes uplift people. But I've never thought that he was really in the conversation with Drake or... Kendrick. And furthermore, I don't think he really wanted to be number one. Like the analogy I made of Flager, it was like Snapple. Like Snapple likes being number three. It made a whole marketing campaign about being number three because you could take chances with number three. Like also within his fans, he's number one. And that's all he cares about. And I think that he's actually in a position that is way more emotionally satisfying. Trying to be number one is trying to convince people that don't even like you to acknowledge you're the best. I don't think anybody even tries to be number one. I think you compete. I think you compete. And there's a lot of material. And people crown you that. Now I think once you get that, you want to stay there. But I don't think you initially start like I want to be number one. Fair, fair, fair. Maybe not initially start. But again, I don't know Drake personally. My assumption is Drake knows he's number one and he likes being number one. And at some point in his life, he's like, I want to be the undeniable greatest rapper of life. And then he went in and achieved that. J2J, I feel like J at some point said that. That's why he put out an album every year. I'm talking about a decade or better. Same thing with Drake. So I think what happens is J Cole was truthful. Like he misstepped. He did something to try to achieve a thing that he actually doesn't really want. And putting himself in that line of fire for a thing he doesn't really want was emotionally unsettling. Again, this is pure assumption. I don't fucking know the guy at all. But he realized, oh, this is not the life I want to live. Where I'm worried about a diss track coming out. I'm worried about what the internet says. Public scrutiny. I like being snapple. I like chilling in the cut where everybody loves me. Everybody thinks I'm great. Everybody thinks I'm underrated. And they just keep on saying how amazing I am. I make tons of money. My fans think I'm number one. So that's all awesome. The only thing that comes with this new achievement, if you will, is stress. I have everything I need. Without that. Fuck it. I'm pulling out. I shouldn't have done it. It's not something I even want in the first place. I'll let those two guys who clearly want to fight for it. Battle it out. But that's not up to me. What do you think? I agree with everything that you just said. I watched it live. Because, you know, Nila and, you know, Wayno and Speedy and Amber Grimes, they were doing the, they were doing broadcasting throughout it. And so I was just sitting at home and Nila was like, are you watching the live broadcast? I happened to, I turned it on. When I turned it on, Cole was performing. It was like right before he bought out EarthGames. So I saw the whole thing live. And, you know, I saw the whole thing live. And as I was sitting there, it's two trains of thought, right? The hip hop fan and you was like, aww. Yeah. But then I'm like, nah. What's wrong with what he did? Like I'm listening to the words that came out of his mouth. He said, it bothered my spirit. Yes. He said, it made me realize how good I've been sleeping over the last decade. And here's the thing. You know why I bothered J Cole's spirit? Because he lied. Talks, man. Because he got on a record and said some things that he knows is not true. Said some things that he don't believe just to appease the motherfucking internet. Just to appease his boys. Not to appease himself. Not to appease himself. To appease the bloodlust of the internet. That's right. People that don't even care about him. His fans care about him. Bro, it was ridiculous from the jump. First of all, he goes, Kendrick Lamar fell off like the Simpsons. Wow. A show that's worth like 40 billion dollars. I'm not exaggerating. It's literally worth like 40 billion dollars. And it's been on for 35 years. Please let me fall off like that. That's number one. Number two, the one thing you cannot make fun of in regards to Kendrick is his catalog. He's the guy that takes three years, four years, five years to create a body of work that people will enjoy. And you may not get it in that moment. But eventually you will appreciate that timeless work of art. Good Kid Mad City is a classic album to me. To Pimp a Butterfly is my favorite Kendrick Lamar album. That's a classic to me. I think that album ushered in blackness and music again. Like just overall, what the fuck are we going to be all right? Was the soundtrack for all the black movements from the time it dropped? Damn. I don't think Damn is a classic, but I think it's a really great album. Jake Cole said that was the peak of Kendrick's shit. So that means he thinks it was that. He said the last album was tragic. I totally disagree. I love Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers. I've said numerous times in the future, they're going to look at that album and Jay-Z 4 for 4 as the two most important hip hop albums of all time because it showed real growth. It showed real evolution of men. So I know Cole for the type of artist he is, the type of person he seems to be. You're lying to the people. You literally put out a bunch of narratives about Kendrick. Downplayed his greatness as an artist. Just appeased these goddamn unhealed heathens on social media. I know that didn't sit well with you. And they'll never be appeased. Never. They'll never be happy. Because they don't care about you. This is it. Those aren't your fans. Your fans are the 50,000 people that came to Dreamville. That's right. Those are your fans. And those people, they would be totally fine if you're like, honestly, Kendrick is nice. I really like him too. Which is his genuine energy. That's right. He probably looks at Kendrick and he goes, man, this guy is so fucking talented. Bro, they talked about doing collaboration novels together. He's always bigged up Kendrick. That's how I know you lying. When I heard the record last week, I said, he don't even believe what he's saying. Boom. He's only saying that shit for the internet. You will always go wrong when you try to piece the internet. You'll go wrong when you try to appease anybody except for yourself. That's why when he said it doesn't sit well with my spirit. Respect. I don't got nothing else to say. Respect. I don't know what's wrong. I want to see you battle this and that. No, you want to see him get his head knocked off. What did they tell you when you get in the boxing ring? If your heart ain't in it, get the fuck out of there if you get your fucking head knocked off. Or more importantly, it's like, you know, what do people really want to see when you're watching a NASCAR race? What do you really want to see when you're watching Formula One? You want to see the crash. You want to see the crash. A lot of people, they're not tuning in just for you to go around in circles. That's right. They want to see the crash. That's right. So they're not really caring about you if you're the driver. That's right. It's entertainment clown. So imagine if Kendrick, imagine J. Cole doesn't apologize. And that's why he, one thing he said in that he goes, and you know, man, if you want to get your leg back, I got my chin out. You know what I mean? Yeah. Go ahead. Do what you think. Yeah. Because he's like, there's nothing Kendrick said. Because Kendrick, we won't get to that in a second. Cole just caught some stress. There's nothing Kendrick said. And you can't tell people how to respond. But why would you respond in that manner, Cole? Yeah. So what you had, all Cole had to do was get on there and spit some dope ass bars. If I was him, I would've got on there and been like, damn, because Kendrick Glass happens about therapy and healing. I'd have been like, yo, sound like you ain't been to see a therapist in a while. Boom. Like, yo, bro, let me, you might need to go talk to your therapist. Take that angle. Yo, that's fire. You know what I'm saying? I thought you was the healed one. I would've took that angle. You sound a little angry on this record. I would've went, I would've took that route but kept it like, just about right. For you to try to spin the narrative that Kendrick fell off, which is a lie, right? That his cataloging what it is, that's a lie. That was a whack approach. Very whack approach. Agreed it's a whack approach. Why did he put it out then? Because if it doesn't sit, he felt that it didn't sit well with him two days after he put it out. I'm pretty sure he recorded that more than a day before the album came out. So it was like, I think what didn't sit well with that was the reception it got and how people were saying it was a weak track. And that's probably what didn't sit well with it. I don't believe that. Like I've done things, I tell y'all all the time about the time I played the Floyd Mayweather audio. I didn't have no reason to play that other than, I'm hearing 50 Cent and Jimmy Kimmel and Nellie and all the people talk about how Floyd can't read. And I'm like, you know what? Fuck that. We ain't went viral in a couple of days. Literally. We ain't went viral in a couple of days. Everybody in the studio told me not to play it. I played it. As soon as I played it, as soon as that energy went into the universe, it wasn't no backlash. It wasn't nobody outside wanting to fuck me up. It wasn't nobody calling me in the office to tell me I shouldn't have done that. Immediately, me, my spirit felt fucked up. So immediately as soon as he recorded that verse or that song, why didn't his spirit feel bad? Because you probably had a bunch of external employees around him, his boys in the studio, other people he led hear it. Fuck that shit. I throw that shit on the tape. Man, fuck that. Do that shit. Whatever, whatever. And then it's out. And now you like, fuck. Two days go by. You start and by when y'all say reception, I don't think it was the reception to the record because there's plenty of people who liked the bars. I didn't like them. But I think the reception is, man, these motherfuckers really spit or spending two days trying to downplay the greatness of Kendrick Lamar. Let's talk about that for a second too. How these motherfuckers really just dick-ride whatever their fucking timeline tells them to. How dare y'all all of a sudden start questioning the greatness of Kendrick Lamar because J. Cole lied to y'all. J. Cole lied to y'all and told y'all this album wasn't good and that album wasn't good and these projects that y'all liked, y'all started questioning. Then 48, this two, J. Cole starts trending. J. Cole won Kendrick zero. In less than 48 hours, now you ain't even in the big three no more J. Cole. J. Cole, you suck. J. Cole, you trash. What does that tell you about the era we live in? Fuck everybody, do you. Fuck these fickle motherfuckers. Yes, 100%. But I think what it speaks to is it's not that the people are fickle. It's that the people are doing exactly what you're suggesting the artists do. The people just care about what they feel. Right? And those people that you're talking about are probably Drake Stans that want to make Kendrick radioactive, that want to chip away at Kendrick's greatness because Kendrick came at Drake. So when J. Cole said anything, if J. Cole said, hey Kendrick, hey you're a poopy face, they would go. He do got a poopy face. I thought he looked like this shit emoji. Exactly. And then they put that out there in the world because it feeds their emotions. That's right. But those people aren't J. Cole fans. Those people are Drake Stans. And that's, I've realized how the Internet works in a lot of ways which is like, if you are championing, you've experienced this all the time, if you champion an idea of one group without even realizing that that group cares about it, they will ride for you and rally. You say one thing that's critical of the Democrats. You could say 10 things that are positive about Democrats. One thing that's critical, Fox News Radio host Charlemagne the God comes out in support of blah, blah, blah. All the different groups. And then when you say one thing that goes against what they say, those same organizations go, this guy Radio host Charlemagne God is out of his fucking mind. They don't care about you. You are there to either support or refute their opinions. And depending on what you do, you are a hero or a villain. That's right. And it's just, it's really interesting. That is the Internet has so many amazing things given me a career. It's definitely helped you with your career. I love it. It's incredible. But what it has done is emboldened these little echo chambers and no knowledge, no information, no truth even has to enter the echo chambers. None. By the way, it can be right there. It can be the truth. I'm watching Trump do this right now with abortion. Trump is like, I'm pro-choice. I'm pro-life. I'm both. And I'm against abortion. And both groups are realizing. He's putting three things out there. I'm pro-choice, right? I'm pro-life and I'm anti-abortion. He's got all of those things out there. And based on whatever you feel, you know Trump is pro-choice. No, he's not. Yes, he is. Listen. Boom. You know Trump is pro-life. No, he's not. Yes, he is. Listen. You know Trump is anti-abortion. No, he's not. Yes, he is. Listen. Yeah. What do you do with that? Well, I mean, that's the most amazing thing about it. It becomes so easy to manipulate because based on the people that you want to manipulate, you can use whatever version of that person you want. And the reality is those people that are being manipulated don't know enough about him to refute it. That's right. People just become heroes and villains in your world. So if you hate the Republicans, for example, the Republicans are awful, Trump is just this villain in your world and there is always a reason to hate him based on what you believe. Absolutely. And the same thing goes for Joe Biden. If you are somebody who hates the Democrats, there's always something Joe Biden has done to just infuriate you based on your feelings. Yeah, I listened to a montage somebody put together of Trump switching his stance on abortion throughout the years. And I'm like, you can do that with any politician. Mm-hmm. You can do that with any politician. You know, I could take Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and have them sounding like the most homophobic, anti-gay marriage people. Like, if I wanted to. Imagine us. We talk every single day for every single week for hours upon hours. You could take any single thing. Please don't. Please, you've done it enough. How much more can we take? But I think it is interesting, like... We were talking about this on Flager, but I think that this is interesting. I think our age group is very specific in the way that we consume information in that, like, our parents... I was talking to Joe about this a little bit. Our parents fall for phone scams. Okay? For example, someone calls my mom and goes, hey, by the way, you were offered $10,000 rebates. All we need is your credit card information and you'll get that rebate. And if someone calls my mom and does it, my mom might give them all the information and then they go run up charges on the credit card. Because she came from a time where, if you called your house, you probably had a reason and they had your information, and there was reason to trust it. We looked at those scams and were like, how the fuck could you fall for this? This is ridiculous, right? Right now, we fall for headlines in the same way our parents fell for phone scams. It's disgusting. Right? We see a headline and we're like, Joe Biden makes Easter Transvisibility Day, right? And we go, well, that must be true. It's a headline. Do some reading. We don't read. We don't read shit. Right? But here's my thing. This is what I believe. I believe our kids and the kids that are alive right now will be raised with the same scrutiny for headlines that we have for phone scams. They should. Because they're going to see so many lies and so much misinformation and that they're going to, because right now I'm at the point where if I read any headline that sounds even remotely too good to be true, I know it's fake. So that's all they've known. All they've known are YouTube titles, their whole life. That's so interesting because they might grow up just believing their truth. And I think that's kind of where you should be as a human. I'm talking about your truth. Like the things that you know to be true, you personally, just you. But even that's manipulatable. Forget what you're taking in. I'm just talking about what you believe. Like give me examples so I understand that. For example, when you wake up in the morning, you know you're in your house. I thought you were talking about your truth. No, no, no. Just your existence. Yes, yes, yes. Maybe that's what it's going to take. Us just internally relying on our existence because we know everything on the external is manipulated. Bro, this is, it's so funny you said this like on Rogan we're like going over and over like how fucked the system is and you know the pharmaceutical companies are influencing government and all the CIA is doing all these things. And it's so daunting that you almost like drown in how much you have to change in order to like write the course. The reaction is either do nothing or and I think you've maybe even spoken about this like the impact maybe that we should be trying to make is like locally. Like fix your community, fix your block, fix your neighborhood. Maybe after you fix your neighborhood, fix your town. Fix yourself. Yes, start here. Yeah. But then like if you can fix on the small scale you can probably really change an impact like your life and the lives around you and then you would hope that that continues. But trying to go to the top and be like you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to change the CIA. I'm going to change the pharmaceutical. You're not. No. It might happen if enough of us try to do it. But maybe the goal should be changing the smallest thing and letting that disseminate. Yeah. Does that make sense? Makes perfect sense. But then you're a Karen. Ooh. You're a Karen. That's an interesting point. Like by trying to complain and change the things in your local community like there being too many black people, they'll call you a Karen. Is that what you were saying, Chris? Maybe not that example specifically. But yeah, no. Look, my father organized a town watch when I was a kid. I used to drive around with a police scanner with him in the car. I knew you were fake. What? I always knew you were fake, Chris. Local. Local, not fake. Local. But we did that. Like he did that. And it was a sense of like you're going to, this is the parameters of our community and like you take care of that. And I think now anyone who like kind of, and look, I know what the Karen specifically, you know, there's another dynamic to it, but like I do sense that that is actually the right way to go. But maybe because of the internet, people are afraid to do it because no matter what you do in a lot of these situations, it's getting filmed or being judged. I think we got to stop worrying about that. The reason I say I think we got to stop worrying about that. Like the internet has become Karen's just crying about everything. They clip every little thing and cry about it. You're a bunch of fucking white ladies banging on doors in the neighborhood. It's fucking, what is going on? Somebody asked me that earlier. They asked me about, you know, just how much I get taken out of context, right? Literally. They was like, and they was like, because you say things, like, and you have to know what the right is going to do with them. And I'm like, sure, but should that mean, does that mean I shouldn't say him? Yeah. Am I supposed to not critique the Democrats? Am I not supposed to give my opinions on DEI in the workplace? Am I not supposed to have these conversations just because I know what they're going to do with them? Here's the thing. Here's the thing. 10 years ago, we didn't know what a hit piece was. 10 years ago, a news article came out about you and it was, we assumed it was the truth. This came out in a magazine. This must be the truth. Yeah. Now we know there's such thing as a hit piece. Andrew Huberman is going through this right now. You know, the doctor Andrew Huberman, right? No. What do you do? Andrew Huberman is like the most famous doctor in terms of like disseminating research and new data and results about new methods for health and wellness and sleep and ways that you can be a healthier person. He's getting huge popularity. And then I think the New Yorker or a couple other magazines were going to put this hit piece out on him. Didn't even research the person that they got the information for or from or knew about it and then actually omitted it. And then had they known, they definitely should not have put this out, but that will all be coming out or is already out right now. But anyway, point is now, since we're so used to hit pieces, we're so used to things we've seen, we've seen it come out about Dave Portnoy, we've seen it come out about Rogue and we've seen it come out about all these people. Now there is such a thing in our brain called the hit piece. So the second we see it, we go, oh, this is an information. This is a hit piece. This is a specific piece made to make somebody look bad. And you have all these small hits. Like one publication will do it. Now it's all of these different people online. So here's my thing. I wonder if we're in this age right now where there are people that are seeing things being taken out of context for the first time. And they're just like, oh, this is the truth. This is who Charlemagne is. This is who Andrew is. These are who these people are. We're just the first wave. Once the internet catches up and it catches up fast, all of a sudden all these videos will lose their value because the audience will start to go, oh, this is that style where you take somebody out of context and make them look bad for clicks. Unfortunately, we're the first wave or the first generation of it, but I think after a while the audience gets savvy. Like those videos where they'll take, like the Daily Show, I'll do a six minute clip on the Daily Show. They'll just take 30 seconds. They'll take 30 seconds, 45 seconds a minute and talk in between the things that I'm saying. You can create any narrative with that. Bro, we did it with RFK. We had RFK on the pod. And then fucking, who was it? It was Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. Both took it out of context, made the exact same joke. Like RFK was talking about how he had horrible people over at his house. He's like, I had OJ. I had the fucking Harvey Weinstein. I had all these things. Like I was in New York at this time. And, you know, I was a kind of famous person. So people hung out. You don't realize they're pieces of shit until you find out later. I would have never invited them over and I knew they're pieces of shit. That was his point. They go take out the part where he goes, they're all pieces of shit. I would have never known. And they just go, why are you bragging about having pieces of shit in your house? Oh my God. But the people will get savvy to it. I hope so, man. And just like we stop trusting headlines, we'll stop trusting the hit pieces. No, no. You're right. They will. Because even when Elon Musk retweeted me from Daily Show the other day. That was sick. And the caption was, and I mean, I did say it. I can't act like I didn't say it. I was like, I was talking about corporate, I'll talk about DEI initiatives in the workplace. And I was saying a lot of more mostly trash. They're performative, you know, it's a lot of symbolism over substance. You know, yada, yada, yada. Protect the company, not protect actual people. That's exactly what it's about. And I said all of that. It's about protecting the company, not protecting people. So he retweets that and it's that Shalemaine God says DEI is well-intentioned but mostly garbage, right? So you see people in the comments saying, Elon, he's calling you racist in this piece, bro. Which I didn't say, I didn't say Elon Musk is racist but I guess they're saying Elon Musk types. So it's people that know that what y'all think this is, it's not. But what scares me is when you see the smart people who you think should know what it is, still take it and manipulate it, put their own gain. Because that's really all it's about. Yes. It's not about really trying to put it's their game to correct information out there or move the conversation forward. Because at the end of the piece I go, look, I don't know. I know a real DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion is going to come from real black leaders and real black movements. I don't know how to do it because I'm not a black leader. So you know what I would do for the people who are in that space, take that baton and elevate the conversation. That's it. Instead, they rather turn it into a Shalemaine hit piece because that's what garners them clicks. People like conflict for clicks. I mean, it's just the lowest. It's the lowest comment. So if you can't create, you have to destroy. Yep. Right? If you want attention but you don't have the ability to create, you have to destroy. Instruction is the easiest form of entertainment, right? If there's a fight on the street, we're going to go watch it. If somebody's lambasting somebody on the corner, we're going to go check it out. If there's a video exposing somebody, we're going to go watch it. That's right. This is just what we are drawn to. If you could create, you would never do that because the satisfaction you get from actually making something yourself is amazing. It's the serotonin rush you get. And there's people who just simply had smoke for Elon. Don't like Elon. So if Elon retweets it in the grease, they have... Fuck you. Fuck me. We got to make him radioactive so it doesn't look like he's making sense. But you could still say fuck Elon if you actually listened to the piece. Instead of probably just looking at the heads, looking at the clips. They don't care, dude. Like Elon probably did. I don't think Elon listened to that full six minutes. Maybe he did, maybe he did. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. But if he didn't, if you did, then you can say, hey, Elon, you're agreeing with this, but you need to actually go listen to it. You can still make your point without saying fuck me is what I'm saying. But I don't have a problem with people saying fuck me. We got here from J. Cordo. The moral of that story is I don't have a problem with Tray getting out the car. No, no. This is... Don't let me out. Okay, so... What Cole was saying was, Drake, let me out. I'm out. Drake, let me out. Y'all fight this out. I want to be number three. Ricky Day. I'm not in this, man. I'm not home got the heart to do this. I don't want to do it. It's not in my spirit to do it. I don't want to have to kill nobody or attempt to kill nobody. Drake, let me out. And I think most people won't... Most people haven't been in that situation where they're in the conversation for being the top person. And he's probably felt the pressure as he, you know, rose up the ranks in the rap world. And to me, I look at it and I have respect for it because there are certain people that the way that they judge their success will literally be, are they the number one in people's eyes? It seems as if he's well-adjusted enough to judge his success by what he is creating and the people that fuck with it. And he will feel less successful if he goes out of his box to do something for people's approval. I agree. I don't see the problem with it. I mean, honestly, man, I don't have a problem apologizing if I feel I'm wrong, especially if that shit is bothering my peace. I tell y'all all the time, the best way to not disturb your pieces is to not disturb the peace of others. Not to mention if Cole and Kendrick were actually friends, like I believed them to be friends. If I'm Kendrick and I'm hearing this shit in my mind, I'm like, oh, you fake as shit. Because think about how many times he probably never told Kendrick how much he loved these projects. Yeah, yeah. I love this, the Pimple Butterfly shit, yo. Oh, my God. I love, damn, yo. I love your last album. Thank you. You think that Cole wasn't saying that to Kendrick? So if you've been saying this shit to Kendrick and holding me in this high regard, and then I hear you tell me, I fell off like the Simpsons and my catalog is wack. I'm like, yo, you fake as shit. So for him to get out there and do what he did and apologize. I ain't mean nothing to that shit. I just got caught up listening to all these external, you know, outside voices. I get it. I'm not mad at it. In no way, shape or form. I just wish he didn't put it out because it's almost like you get fouled hard in basketball and then you slap the guy and then you tell him, yo, yo, yo, chill, chill, chill. Let's not fight. No, it's not what happened. It is though. Like Kendrick fouled them hard. No, Kendrick got the fucking block up. Cole came, Cole came, slapped them. And then he's like, yo, we shouldn't fight, we shouldn't do this. No, Kendrick shot the fucking block up looking for Drake. All right. Cole happened to be in the house. Cole got his pistol. Cole threw some shots back. And then he said, let's not shoot no more. And then realized this shit don't feel right. I'm shooting at my partner and I'm not about to die for this nigga from Canada because he ain't even out here on the front lines with me. That's the conversation people need to be having. Where is Aubrey Graham? Where is Aubrey Graham? That is great. Trey done got out the car. When Trey got out the car, Doe Boy went in the hands of this business. Aubrey Graham, it's time to stop riding around. Chubs in the passenger seat. It's time to stop riding around and either get your motherfucking gun and go hand to your business or everybody need to cool out because Kendrick has been bullying them for about seven, eight years now. Bullying them from the BET cipher when he threw shots at Drake. The King Coon too when he threw shots at Drake. This whole, this last shit he did, that was all Drake. First person shooter is Drake song for all the dogs getting buried. Okay, pet cemetery, all of that shit like that. Drake is time to hand to your handle. Now, if those two want to go at it on some friendly rap battle beef, cool because they've been circling the block around each other forever. Right? If they want to go have a friendly rap battle or a competitive rap battle that we know is not going to lead to anything. It's just going to be rap. They can go do that. I'm not mad at J Cole deciding I don't like it in my spirit. I don't want to do it. By the way, if Drake said that, I wouldn't care. If Drake said it right now, I'm not doing that. Also, who wants J Cole to beef with Kendrick? Why it got to be a beef though? Who wants him to battle with Kendrick? There's nothing there. Nobody wanted that. Exactly. If you're a J Cole fan, the chances are nobody wanted that match. No. Yes, they did. We want Kendrick. We want Kendrick. Nobody wants Kendrick. If you're a fan of... They did not. Yes, they did. Oh, they didn't. Stop, stop, stop. Nobody wants that. Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. If you're a fan of J Cole, you're a fan of Kendrick. But it's always... Hold on one second. Let me just get it out. If you're a fan of J Cole, you're a fan of Kendrick. There's not... I don't know if there's a single person on the globe right now that loves J Cole and doesn't also love Kendrick. No, you're absolutely right. But I'm just saying they're both lyricists. So I feel like it's always been like who's the better one. No, it's not. At least that's the conversation because you know why Kendrick and Drake are so perfect? Because it's like Jay-Z and Nas. It literally is like Jay-Z and Nas because you have two people who are actually really good MCs. Let's not get it fucked up. No, no, no, no. One of those MCs has had some incredible commercial success. Commercial success that we've never seen. Never seen before. Kendrick has had a lot of good commercial success too, but he's more so still looked at as the purest... Or statistically. The artist. It's Michael Jackson and Prince. It's Michael Jackson and Prince. And I'll tell you something. Prince would be Kendrick to me. Yeah, that's what it is. Prince would be Nas to me. No, no, but... Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, like Michael Jackson has the commercial success. Gotcha, gotcha. But Prince is probably the more respected musician. Even though he's got a lot of commercial success, he's still respected artist. But people will go, oh my god, this is the artist and then Michael Jackson is the mainstream success and everybody loves the music and his music is ubiquitous. You see it everywhere. That's right. Whereas Prince are like, okay, he's a little bit more artsy. He plays all of the instruments. He does these things. That's right. But having that competition where they're both going at it, of course there's a bloodlust for that. We actually want to see it. Who is better when it goes down to it. But J. Cole, it's like, buddy, you don't need to be in this at all. No reason. There's no reason. And nobody respects you less for not being into it. At all. If you're not into it, people still go, J. Cole might be one of the best out there. Like every time you hear him rap, you go, this guy might be one of the best. And now he took himself out of the conversation. No, he did not. Yes, he did. He's really in it. Yeah, but now he's done it. If y'all feel that way, you're never like J. Cole to begin with. Because nothing has changed. None of his albums have changed. That's what I'm saying. None of his pieces have changed. No, no, no. Nothing about J. Cole has changed. He can never be number one is what I'm saying. But he's put it this way. He never had him at number one. Here's the thing. To his fans, this is why I'm saying he gains nothing. To his fans, he's already number one. Number one. And he has devout, loyal, loving fans. So doing this battle is for the casuals. It's just like, why do you need their approval so much? I think he's so self-reflective. And it's actually such a beautiful thing to see in an artist. Someone who doesn't have like this deep down empty void that needs to get filled by every single person on the planet loving them. Someone who's grateful for what he has. And can go, you know what? I don't need to fight for more from people who actually won't fight for me. I have the love of the people who love me. He won. I think you're not forgetting. What are we forgetting, Taylor? Hip hop's always been competitive. Yeah, what are you guys saying? No, I said, hip hop's always been competitive. Exactly. It's always been, I'm better than you. And that's it. And what that got to do with, here's the thing that people say that's so stupid to me. It's not stupid. It's not stupid. You just lie, right? We'd be like, hip hop is so competitive. Sure. How many of these artists have you seen go at each other? You can name them. But Kendrick also said it though. Said what? He said in an interview that, you know, he's looking at hip hop as a competitive sport. Like he just wants to battle. Yeah, but competitive don't mean you grab a microphone. I grab a microphone and we go bar for bar. Competitive mean I'ma go in the studio, make the best possible material I can make and let the people decide who's the illest. Like, there's more ways to compete. I mean, that's always been battle. Name all the battles you've seen in your life. No, I'm just saying, there's been battles in hip hop as well. Name them. We have Jay-Z, Nas. We have Drake and Meek Mill. And you also love that Drake did that though. You're like, this is what he was about, blah, blah, blah. But here's the thing. It was real. You know why it was real? Because Meek jumped out there and challenged Drake's pin. He said Drake, don't write. And so, and Kendrick's been trying to challenge. Kendrick did not challenge Cole. Yes, he did. No, he did it. Yes, he did. He said, motherfucker, the Big Three is just Big Meek. No, he also said if you walk around with a stick, you're not gonna, you're still not Andre 3K. He's coming at Cole. That wasn't about Cole? Yes, it was. You the one showing me the video. When they said they showed Drake talking about the sticks and all of that. No, they were talking about Cole in that part. No. No. Like, that's it was. Drake got the shots in that. And Drake has been getting the shots for years. Exactly. There was no reason for Cole to jump out the way that he did, other than to say some slick shit in a rap. I think... To slick, cool shit, like I'm better than you type shit. He didn't have to jump out the way he did. I can see why that didn't sit well with his spirit. Yeah. Because he was lying. I agree. When I get mad at you, I'm gonna say you're imaging trash. But that's a lie. Exactly. Exactly. You would know I don't mean that. Exactly. You would know I'm only doing that to try to hurt your feelings. But I'm not disagreeing with you about that though. I don't think that J. Cole should have went that route of doing that. He should have been like, has he always boast that he's the big guy and everything else like that? I would have said he sound unhealed. I would have said Kendrick sound like you used to get therapists in a while. Unhealed. Unhealed, yes. You could say something. With Kendrick's shit, well, not what he should do. But if I was Kendrick and how you said that he should feel the type of way that Cole said that shit, I would take Cole's apology and turn that into a whole, a whole thing. Why? Like a down song. Why not? Cole is not what Kendrick wants. Kendrick won't. No, I'm not. Kendrick wants Aubrey Graham. Because Jake said, You don't waste another bar on Cole. No. Nobody cared about the coldest to Kendrick. If anything, it chips away a Kendrick legacy at all. If anything, it chips away a little bit at Cole. But I think it goes away. Wasting bars on Cole at this point, when you know where the real war is, is pointless. Drake is hiding behind the cold smoke right now. I don't know. He's hiding. He's all of this uproar, all of this uproar that y'all making about Cole. Y'all should be putting that energy toward Drake. That's how I've been saying it. Drake, this man been shooting at you for years. And he's a worthy opponent. You ruined Meek Mill, right? Meek, every time, right to this day, I saw somebody called Meek Twitter Fingers Today. Wow. I saw the guy named one of his old homies, called him Twitter Fingers Today, okay? You can't do what you did to Meek. And then, like, he really, in a way, and salute to Meek, he repositioned Meek forever. Yo, that sounds crazy. That sounds crazy. No, you're right. You're right. You're right. And Meek can't help himself. Like, he really can't stop tweeting. It's the strangest shit. If somebody called me Twitter Fingers, I would have limited my tweets a long time ago. I would have limited them a long time ago. He can't help himself. So my point is Meek charged him, Meek charged Drake with the allegation of not writing. Drake responded with bars. Hey, that was a great battle. Drake won that fair and square. And they made a song after. Pusha T and Kanye tried to come at Drake. Drake came out with Duffy. I still think Pusha won. You know what I mean? Pusha did win. But we forget about it. We forget. Yes. It's not one of those things. It's not a back-to-back. Because it never was who's better here. We know who's more successful. It was never even a conversation. It was just like, yeah. Drake did something that is very rare air. And I think this is the other thing. And this is another conversation. This is what I think Drake is afraid of. I don't think Drake's afraid of Kendrick. I think Drake's afraid of himself. Meaning when you do something like back-to-back, that's what people are expecting. Tupac never made another hit him up. God bless him. He passed. Now I was never made another ether. You know what I'm saying? Jay-Z never made another takeover. It takes certain things to get something out of you. I don't know if Drake can get to that level of back-to-back again. I think he's competing with himself. And in his mind he's like, if it's not back-to-back, I lose. I lose. And when he loses, in my opinion, he has more to lose than Kendrick. He does. Kendrick has nothing to lose. Correct. I don't think, and again, look at me, I'm the most casual. You guys are like locked in. You're super deep into it. So I'm actually the person who can be swayed. I'm the swing state voter. Everybody knows who y'all are going to vote for. I'm the swing state. I don't think Kendrick is anywhere near Drake in terms of the way their success is perceived. It's not to say that he's not considered one of the greatest and people know who he is and they know his body work. But when you're thinking of who's number one right now in the casual fan, I don't think, and I think it's like... You use the right terms because you said how their success is perceived. Perceived. It doesn't mean that they're not that great. And if you guys are obviously super big fans, right? So you know the work and you're like, wow, this person is so skilled. He's so incredible. And you see the other part of that is you see all the fruits of Drake's labor. So you see the big house and you see the car. Sure. And you don't see it. He looks like the super rap star. It's a great point. So you often forget how big Kendrick Lamar really is. 100%. You forget all of these Grammys. You forget Kendrick got a Pulitzer Prize. I'm seeing Kendrick do prison push-ups on a small loan. That's what I'm saying. But he sold millions of records, sells out all over the world. He's a super... He's a rap superstar. Hopefully it doesn't come across like I'm aware. I'm just saying the casual and the casual is who you swing in these types of things. You're not going to swing the super fans because like we know from Jay-Z, Nas, whoever you are in love with, you will justify to yourself that they won that battle. That's right. So all the Jay-Z fans were like, nah, takeover is better. All the Nas fans were like, ether's better. All the casuals went ether. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the only person I think that can lose from this is Drake. Drake has the casuals around the world convinced that he is the number one. He is, in my opinion. Drake can knock him off, I'm sorry, Kendrick can knock him off by beating him in this battle. Drake, all he can really do by engaging in this, the only thing he can do is confirm what his fans and the population already feels. That's a lot to lose. The win does nothing. The lose does everything. Yeah. That's pressure. And if Kendrick wins, everybody's like, oh, we knew he would win. Well, the Kendrick fans will say that. And even I think some casuals, because casuals still don't look at Drake as hip-hop. You think? I don't know. They see more of the singing, they see the R&B. He's just a big pop star. That's where Drake's advantage lies to me because, and that's why I said, in a lot of ways, Drake is Jay, because it's a super success. And they've always been questioning Jay's hip-hop, not no more, but back in then, all those super hip-hop guys would question whether Jay was really, really, really hip-hop. They've always looked at Nas, they've always looked at Kendrick as a hip-hop purist. Drake's not a purist, but I think he is. I listen to rap. I can listen to Drake and tell he's a purist. Yeah. So that's why it makes for such an interesting dynamic between the two. Oh, yeah, it's fascinating. It's a great battle. Style makes fights. Their styles are perfect for each other. Style makes fights. Their styles are perfect for each other. So do we get bars from Drake soon? We should have gotten them. Here's the thing. Drake, I don't want Drake to give us no bars that he feels forced to give us. I only want Drake to give us a record if he feels it in his spirit. Same way Cole said, he felt it in his spirit that he didn't want to. I only want Drake to do it if he feels it in his spirit. And Drake, you should only do it if you feel it in your spirit. But he's writing and everything else, like doing captions and everything else. That don't mean I want to write a dish record. But I don't understand why he won it, though. Because, again, people probably thought Mick Mill was probably going to win that. Exactly what they just said. First of all, Drake, let's be for real. Drake don't got nothing to prove. Let's also be for real. Kendrick don't got nothing to prove. Neither one of them got anything to prove. They want to do it for the sport. Kendrick's been trying to eat him forever, Cole. Literally, Kendrick has been throwing shots. Now, let's take out something personal that I don't know about. But Kendrick has been throwing shots at Drake for a while. I don't know what he wants. I don't know why he wants it. You might. He's the top. Like how y'all said, Drake is probably like that. So, you know, Kendrick might just want the competition. I mean, Kendrick might just want the competition. You know, so why is Drake scared of that, though? Kendrick might feel like he needs that. Like, ooh, I just thought about this. You know, Jay and Nas went at it, right? So, I don't know why he wants it. I don't know why he wants it. But Jay and Nas went at it, right? So, regardless of who you think won the battle, they both went for it. A lot of people get at the Nas because they eat it. I still think TakeOver was better. But Nas got a body. 50 Cent caught a body, which y'all ruled. You know what I'm saying? Kendrick watched Drake get a body with me. Like, maybe Kendrick won one. Maybe Kendrick won one. Also, like you said, the love Drake has for hip-hop, whatever. I would think he would be like, all right, let's go. Yeah, but he already tasted that. He already burried it. He know what the blood tastes like. He already caught a body. Did you see that video of that crazy-ass white kid who had killed somebody and decapitated them? And the cop was like... I saw the video. You had something strange in your closet. Yeah, I had to turn that. And it was ahead, and they asked him why, and he just was like, I just wanted to see what it felt like to kill somebody. Crazy, man. In rap, you might feel like that. In comedy, you never looked at a roast. Like, sometimes, you know, I would look at like Jamie Foxx roast when he was roasting the brother Doug, the other comedian. I was watching LaVell Crawford and what's the brother name that played Brown on? David Band? I think it's David Band. David Band and LaVell Crawford was going at it. And they was going at it. Like, you know, I would look at a roast I mean, you know what I'm saying? But no one's ever... Kendrick to be the big three, no one's ever challenged Kendrick. Nobody ever challenged Cole either. Yeah. I think... But Cole never came at nobody. The only person I can think of is Wale at this point, but he didn't even come at Wale, really. That's how Cole should have approached it. That should have been his tone. If he was going to come at Kendrick, his tone should have been like how he did on that record on that little pump. Like, that should have been his tone. But he can't condescend to Kendrick because he admires him too much. Yeah, so he was reflexive and he just didn't think it through. Let's pay some bills, y'all. All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second. Did you know that even if you have a 401k for retirement, you can still have an IRA?

Yo, what's it called? This weekend we are coming to Jacksonville. Charlotte, we added a second show in Atlanta. We'll see you guys all there. And then next weekend we'll see you in Nashville, Austin, and then Phoenix. We added a second show there as well, TheAndraShows.com. Also, Houston and Dallas. Thank you guys so much. The weekend was fucking incredible, man. I really appreciate you guys. And I will see you guys all very, very soon. The Life Tour. Peace. Yes. You know what I'm here for. My Black Country. My future. A lot of good sister Alice Randall, Professor at Vanderbilt, man. Pick this up. Everybody out there having conversations about, you know, Beyonce and, you know, Black people's place in country music. Alice Randall, she's got it all in here. And I truly believe in Divine Alignment, man. When I first heard about this project and, you know, it was out there on the market and people were placing bids. They wanted to do this project just because these are the kind of stories I like. These are like those hidden figure stories when people are learning new information and learning new history about not just, you know, Black people, but America in general. And it, you know, when you know that you got something like this coming out because this guy came out of bookstore this week, but then you see what Beyonce did with Cowboy Carter. And it's just like all of those stars start to align. And you're like, damn. Now there's a conversation around Black country music. So My Black Country by Alice Randall is in bookstores right now. Go get that. I'm thinking about looking for a professor that wants to do My White Country in regards to White people's place in hip-hop since Taylor Swift is coming out with a hip-hop album. That would only make sense, right? I want it to be organic though. I only want to do it if it's in my spirit. Well, is it in your spirit? It is in my spirit. If it's in people's place in hip-hop and having it coincide, it probably won't be out in time though because Taylor Swift's album is coming out in the next month or so. That shit is going to kill. Taylor Swift rap album. You know why it's going to kill? Because it's going to make a bunch of people angry and it's going to make a bunch of people love it. And it's going to make some people who are on the fence about it. Just the people that can be swung either way. All you're doing is creating a tsunami and the algorithm don't know the difference. I don't ever want y'all to stop complaining about anything that I say. I don't want y'all to ever stop complaining about anything that I do. The algorithm does not know the difference. So go.

Go get your tickets right now at a bitbright.com or blackaffect.com slash podcast festival. Taylor. What else we got? You know what I spoke about? We talked about Gerard Carmichael. Did you see what Gerard said about Dave Chappelle? No, what he said? He basically was saying that when he said this before Dave Chappelle's his legacy is basically now when you Google him it's just all trans stuff and you know basically he should do better he shouldn't offend people yada yada yada all that stuff like that. Lo and behold he's been trending the past 48 hours because he offended somebody with a joke that's on his HBO reality show and see this is why I say comedians if you're a comedian and you want to say somebody's not funny cool I don't have a problem with that but if you're a comedian and you try to use the I'm offended angle it will always come back to you listening to Gerard Carmichael. Sometimes joke to him that like our relationship is like that of like a slave and the master son who like teaches me how to reap my candle like yeah he grows too because he's a good person he doesn't like that fucking joke I like that joke that's my burden I think that's just hilarious yeah son Maria for that son I don't know what that is that's yeah I love Gerard but that's so goddamn corny not even just because of the content of the joke the joke itself is terrible but my point is he's getting backlash for this because it offended people that's why comedians should never step out there and say anything about a comedian offending people because you're going to want that grace too yeah I mean everybody's going to be offended by something it's just a weird position for comedians to take yeah this also this idea of like legacy being important is quite peculiar to me well I would say to Gerard when I said this on Breakfast Club earlier today I would say to Gerard I think you got to kind of focus on your whole legacy but yeah but like Dave Chappelle's legacy is solidified but who cares about legacy it's just like such a peculiar thing to care about it's going to happen regardless no your legacy happens regardless and the people forget about you regardless the second you stop there are people that were the greatest comedians of all time that are barely even mentioned now and then when they were alive they were the biggest in the world and that's the same thing with basketball it's the same thing with hockey it's the same thing with radio it's the same thing with everything because it's not as many outlets it wasn't as many outlets back then to record what they did no sure sure sure but what I'm more saying is like the level of narcissism that is required to worry about what the people will think about you after you're dead and for generations beyond that is so astronomical I can't even conceive of it like I can give a fuck what people think about me after I'm dead like honestly it's just as long as I'm creating I care because I'm creating it for their consumption and I would love if they really love it that means a lot to me it makes me feel good but if you die and it's a guy out there that's like yo he used to suck my cock every day I'm dead I don't care I'm dead I don't care what if God said your spirit can come back real quick and handle something if you want to there's guys out here telling everybody that Andrew used to suck cock if he says that to me then I'm aware of it it would really suck to not be able to do anything about it very frustrating but if you can do something about it you're good legacy the long lasting impact well it's two definitions an amount of money or property left to someone in a will are the long lasting impact of particular events actions etc that took place in the past are of a person's life see I don't have a problem with that shows because I just don't have that I think people are going to be laughing at you 30 years from now if they do that's awesome what a fucking blessing that's amazing if they don't that's amazing too because I'm creating the shit that I want to create right now if you're only concerned about legacy then you're not making the things that you truly want to create if that is your only concern you're not creating authentically if you're not creating authentically then your legacy is trash anyway if you're thinking about it is the problem because you're thinking about what the people want instead of what you want to make to that point yeah I think Gerard does that I think Gerard cares too much again I don't know enough about him to tell but no I think he cares too much and I think that but worrying about legacy is trash I think he cares too much and tries too hard interesting yeah why do you feel that way because I think he tries to make people uncomfortable like I don't think you try to make people uncomfortable Andrew Schultz is a fucking maniac who tries to find the best joke at all times and you might be trying to make people look at things just just objectively look at things a different way but ultimately I want you to laugh and I want you to feel in on it and I want us all to have a great time but the the controversy that comes with that the the offending that comes with that it's all organic and more importantly it's funny it's so perfect to what you're saying even just about legacy if you're trying to make people uncomfortable it's going to always be cringe always but listen if that's what you authentically want to do then that's great and I respect that and you get to live in that piece it almost goes to like what we're saying about Cole living that truth that's great but the idea to worry about what people think about you after you're dead I just have a level of self-importance like hey can you imagine Charlemagne what people are going to think about you when you're dead why would you give a fuck I don't care now am I dead I don't be giving a fuck now I refuse to give a fuck for what your kids might consume my kids should know me exactly like if your kids are swayed by a youtube video your kids are swayed by a tweet that's right that is the legacy there's nobody who should know you better than your kids and your wife the people who actually love you had conversations with you speak to you all the time they know who you are they know what you're about the people that usually talk about your legacy didn't even fucking know you they got their own personal legacy for them you know a legacy really means leg acy what's going on leg acy what does that mean nothing I just do that out there and you thought I was going to dunk that I thought you had some port that might have been the worst alley in the history of alley that was one of those alley's where you throw it up and I don't even jump I just looked at that shit going to the stands was that for me I could have flipped it if I wanted to leg leg acy I see why leg leg I see why it's not I it's acy I see why leg acy tell me you love interrupting for a new time now's the time you won in the supper leg ac if you tear the ac you hurt your leg so don't think about your leg so I did say something before about not caring about your legacy but right now you are destroying your you are not destroying your legacy but you're showing whatever you have right now we need to immediately cut that out of the podcast you're right yo I want to apologize for what I just said it wasn't in my spirit to do you know what I'm saying that shit did not sit right with me I don't want to be able to sleep the next couple of days please forgive me for the legacy thing Meek Mill come on let's talk about it wait wait let me play it first which one is this I'll leave Meek alone this is a learning lesson I don't care about the rest of this let me tell you something let me tell you something about life man there are certain people who just need curvy enthusiasm style shows just turn the goddamn camera on and follow them around and let's be entertained Meek is one of the best let me hear that this is Meek this is Meek at WrestleMania and the rock is unconscious right here and Meek is good up rock out man just shout out to Meek not break character though I can not chuckle why he's fake knocked out Meek said if you ain't come up watching Menace in Society you're not going to catch this you're in the wrong culture talking I grew up on Menace in Society I don't get the reference what is it I've watched Menace in Society a million times what is he talking about get up maybe he has a confusion with Boys in the Hood I don't remember what scene of Menace was he the guy said get up maybe it was Boys in the Hood after his brother gets shot he's holding him saying get up I don't remember that bro from Nasty and I remember Ricky and I mean they did try to get Ricky up in Menace in Society who fell down the crackhead got shot and killed Kane beat up that dude in front of the house is it when Kane got shot I don't remember Meek, I don't watch Menace in Society I don't remember nobody sounding like this get up Meek didn't get off his phone Meek got to get the fuck off the phone man oh my god there's another one this is fucked up it says the rumors about him and Diddy is confusing his 12 year old son he's 12 with people saying his dad gay is sick now out here his tweet I don't believe somebody tweeted about Dan Wale is a full grown man didn't puffy dangle him from the balcony Meek says I don't believe no Diddy story once they lied about me now anybody try to sexually it's so there's no way there's there's no way now he actually also you got to read it how he talks and then it makes sense I don't believe he did it once they lied about me now anybody try to sexually saw me he'll be a bang out of his spot and I don't know I don't care y'all confused me when people say his dad gay is sick now out here for y'all listen the worst thing hurting Meek right now is punctuation anybody try to sexually assault me it will be a bang out on the spot hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha he did this before too that's what I'm saying punctuation is something that gives you like 60 seconds to make sure Meek don't give a fuck Meek be letting him shit fly he really does anybody try to sexually assault me it will be a bang out on the spot I think that's what the person is going for Meek Jesus Christ how y'all don't know that lol I don't care but y'all confused with my son he's 12 with people saying his dad gay is sick now out here I mean that's true man you know cause his son is 12 years old 12 was like what 8th grade aww that makes me ill these people are letting these jokes fly it's true though he's not the first person to even tell me that who's in the public eye I've had other people who are in the public eye tell me the same thing like yo my son gotta hear this shit or my daughter gotta hear this shit so I understand that's a real emotion I'm not mad at Meek for saying that all I'm saying is that tweet didn't help that's all I'm saying do you think he's trolling nah I don't think Meek is trolling I think Meek is pissed the fuck off cause if he was trolling this shit it would be so good nah he's not trolling Meek pissed off man he's pissed off motherfuckers out here saying he gay how can you not be tight and now everything you do fits under that umbrella that's the tricky thing for him and it's weird right cause you know I've said this before but I see a lot of people who be acting like they sold pro lgbt Q but they're quick to weaponize sexuality against straight men you don't think that's weird? talk to me if you're a pro lgbtq why would you want to call me gay why would you want to call somebody gay why is it a weapon when you want it to be it's a great point you're making too much sense right now you're about to get a hip piece from me then liberal's gonna give a hip piece to you shut the fuck up what else we got Taylor come on all memes we covered what is this Tory spelling Tory spelling can't pee by herself nah come on with all this I remember watching 902 and that was such a beautiful human you were into Tory that was your shorty from the show yeah Tory was beautiful Fox had him oh yeah that was Shannon Doherty right Shannon Doherty but I liked when Tiffany Amber Deeson hit the show I don't even remember that one it was a later year so she was the girl from what was that show when they were in high school Saved by the Bell which one did she play? Brunette from Saved by the Bell then came on to 902 and looking crazy Kelly? Kelly? Kelly Kopowski I wasn't Slater's girl that was Zach's shorty I remember that one Jessica Spando was Slater's girl yeah I do remember that Tory spelling lifts lid on toilet habits can't poop alone sun watches let's hear it please what's going on with this be happy with yourself I don't want to be with myself I I don't know and people are like wait that says a lot you should be happy with yourself alone I haven't been alone honestly we're hitting an all time we don't need to talk about Tory spelling shit habits there's other things we can talk about I will say this the reason this is interesting to me is because the reason I think this shouldn't be a story women never go to the bathroom alone they always poop with each other that's what I'm saying it's a fact I got four daughters my three daughters that are all two years apart they're doing that now they go to the bathroom with each other it's a thing women love going to the bathroom with each other at the same time I guess I got an older that's not true I haven't seen so many duck lip selfies coming from bathrooms with you and all the last post I've made that bathroom was beautiful y'all love a bathroom y'all know what a bathroom looks like that's what y'all do I was at an event and I'm at a restaurant that's such a lie one of your homegirls is going to the bathroom that's not true you're telling no reason you're lying for no reason you don't have to do this what else we got come on teller come on teller does Evny has one to sell her drawers Russell Simmons bonds what did Russell say? Chris, this is your niece this is Chris Morrill's he will keep Simmons okay Russell Simmons Russell Simmons sends daughter what? I'm looking at Hollywood Unlocks go back to the first slide Russell Simmons sends daughter the internet criticizes her for kissing 65-year-old restaurateur Victoria Ossoff okay all the dad girls in here girl dads girl dads dad girls dad girls now we're trans now we're trans we got girl dads in there so let's say your daughter that was educated at Harvard graduated at 20 years old and decided to use that brilliant brain and intellect to marry, not marry to date a guy 43 years or 47 years her senior what would you say? Chris? wouldn't be my first choice but really? I think one of the things you gotta learn is what do you mean? you gotta let these kids live now you know obviously the relationship like that feels transactional right? so why is this girl that graduated from the finest educational institution in the world having a transactional relationship with a man? I don't know I mean what a waste of an education you would say well you're not going to Harvard so that you can marry a millionaire and I don't think they probably were talking about getting married even worse I would prefer that it was true love you wouldn't want them to get married you want that? I would rather that than you're basically being paid to come out for the weekend in St. Barthes what if she's a gerontosexual I don't know I'm probably pronouncing it wrong a person who's attracted to elderly people can I see that? she's a gerontophilia gerontophiliac what if she's a gerontophiliac? she's probably a gerontophiliac there's a clip going around about her saying she wants a sugar daddy what's going on at Harvard? what's happening at Harvard? what's going on here? but seriously we don't take that into consideration what if she is she has an affliction she's a gerontophiliac we're so quick to be like oh that guy has a pedophile what if she's a gerontophiliac I don't think that he's a pedophile he's a man 21 year old you're 63 you're getting a 20 year old he's a man he wants to be 40 something years old you could have been he's 63 but think about it when you were 40 something I am 40 when he was 40 something she was growing in the womb oh yeah she wasn't even alive that's wild to me on both sides I think it's wild for the guy I don't want to do that I think it's wild for the woman to want to do that nah it's not wild for the dude he's a man you don't want to be 40 dude she's 21 years old she's an adult let's stop acting she's 21 years old she's ancient I'm questioning her more than him of course what she's doing is crazy but what he's doing is he's the man I'm questioning her more than him 63 year old is out there banging at 21 year old I'm questioning her more than him Chris is like oh my god I can't believe people saw pictures she has a father that's at ease that's why I think it's weird well history repeating itself her father is much older than of course but it's just not that much older was he was your brother that much older Chris who? was your brother that much older than his wife your brother Russell what? that's a brother he believes his brother is keeper he's got a hotel for nothing that's loyalty right there let's pay some bills Taylor come back and do some asking what did he say? what can he say? what can he say? I think he said the same thing we just said he said shout out dude he said throwback no that's something about something else I mean he just tried to say something to make light of the situation I guess I don't know man God bless I try to mind my business that ain't my problem and I hope it's a problem I don't have I hope I don't sit around and talk to my 21 year old about dating the 65 year old come on man what if it is? I'm going to St. Barthes I'm going to God I'm going to God I'm going to God what if it is that's a great way to say that I don't know what I would do when I cross that bridge we all say what we would do when certain shit happens hypothetical what would you do if right now how do you feel what would you do? I'd probably be trying to question what I did wrong or did I do anything wrong you know what I mean did her mom do anything wrong is that her thing can I go get her tested for gerontophilia like I need to know what the fuck I need to know what the fuck is happening here you know what I mean I want to sit down and have a conversation I think that anytime you're confused about anybody in your life I'm learning that with my 15 year old I know that what's happening to us over the I mean we've always had communication but the conversations are just different now because she's 15 she's becoming an adult so the conversations are different the conversations are turning to about college and what she wants to do with her future not that I know of better not know about it now I don't have a conversation with my daughter I'm 6 years old he'd be a dead man if I knew he had a plan but it's still a conversation but it's just like I don't know we gotta stop acting like we know what we're doing in these situations I've just been told and then maybe Chris you can speak on this a little bit more and again I don't know but I'm obviously curious for my own personal reasons the age where they begin to be sexual it can often create a little bit of a fracturing in the relationship with a father because they feel like now they have to withhold something from them whereas before they could share everything because their life was more innocent and now once they become the sexual being they don't feel like they can share those experiences with the dad a lot of times dad's position seems maybe you're in a little bit more which is like you don't really want to know that they're a sexual being between daughter and father I'm just saying that's what I've heard my spirit don't agree with this conversation I'm not even joking it's a good combo look both my daughters have boyfriends I don't know the first thing about the physical aspect of it I don't think they want to have that combo but we talk about everything else but you're not done with it though this is my perspective you just have to keep communication open no matter what the time it is and there are a lot of moments where it's uncomfortable I don't think any father is particularly thrilled about talking about boyfriends with their daughters but like the worst thing that can happen is the kids try to hide stuff from you and that's what I don't want you got to eat it my point with that is you want to keep the lines of communication open I want my kids to feel like they can talk to me about any and everything I didn't do that growing up I don't want them to feel like they got to hide nothing from me because especially in this era there's too much wild shit to navigate by yourself like please I'm your best friend your mom is your best friend and we're your parents we love you nobody going to have your back like we do I promise you the only thing that's going to ever piss me off I tell my daughters this all the time the only thing that's going to ever piss me off is the lies don't lie to me we will figure any and everything out please you said she better not so that's what my reaction was that way why can't we all have complicated emotions that's the other thing the internet has done the internet has created these motherfucking extremes to make us think you got to be this or you got to be that this shit is complicated what happened to that fucking status on facebook this shit is complicated it's not one emotion it's really not it is one emotion all of this shit all of this shit you have to have some nuance to it you got to be objective to it you don't know what you're going to feel when this shit actually happens same thing going back to jaco jaco probably really thought in his mind somebody wants some smoke with me I'm going to bring it to him you didn't factor in what if it's somebody you actually like somebody that you actually consider a friend you didn't think that was going to be the person that laid the gauntlet down did you didn't react the way you thought you was going to react oh you thought you had the stomach for it but you might not did it and it's okay I am perfectly fine with saying I don't know I'm perfectly fine with changing my mind I'm perfectly fine with apologizing when I'm wrong and I'm perfectly fine with going through all my emotions my therapist says feel your feels all therapists tell you that you got to go through all those emotions stop trying to suppress them just go fucking through them oh shit shout out to the South Carolina Gamecocks baby yes sir South Carolina Gamecocks completed an undefeated season they beat Iowa 85-75 to win the national championship and complete a perfect season to loop to the good sister Don Staley Don Staley man let me tell y'all something this is the third time the Gamecocks the national champions okay Don Staley should have six at the least five championships right now what is that they won Asia Wilson's junior year I believe that was 2017 okay came back the next year they lost Asia Wilson's senior year okay they probably should have won at that year but you know they lost they lost so you know whatever but the one that they absolutely should have is the COVID year they were undefeated running through every fucking body blowing everybody the fuck out in the fucking season got canceled that was Aliyah Boston's sophomore year I believe then they came back the next year and won it for Aliyah Boston's junior year then they lost Aliyah Boston senior year to Iowa I think they lost by four points once again I think the referees had a lot to do with that but they lost so it is what it is at least Don should have four but she truly should have six because the COVID year they absolutely was going with it and last year they shouldn't have lost to Iowa but they did so whatever they've only lost three games she's incredibly impressive just hearing her talk the way she handles herself in these interviews I was like she could coach in the league she could coach in the league I'm not saying she should but just her demeanor the way that she approaches the game the way that she approaches the media the way that she approaches even talking about the practice squad she has those dudes that hoop at them she's just so poised under control the way that she handled Caitlyn Clark and the way that she gave her praise and smoke gave her moment to do that she was weird to me to see people trying to downplay what she was doing Caitlyn Clark is this is just my personal opinion I feel like the rise of women's basketball especially on the college level and hopefully it translates to the pros that we've seen over the last several years I think the catalyst for that is Don Staley I think Don Staley leaving Temple University and coming to the University of South Carolina absolutely created that the reason I say that is because Don Staley came she changed the program she kept the legendary iconic Asia Wilson in South Carolina South Carolina is a place where a lot of those greats go off to play other places I didn't go to the University of South Carolina Jody didn't go to the University of South Carolina Asia Wilson was the number one women's college player coming out of high school and she decided to stay in South Carolina because she believed in Don Asia Wilson, Don Staley are the pillars to what we see as the South Carolina dynasty right now it starts with them and that tradition that Don created with somebody like Asia and I think that the way South Carolina treats people like Asia and treats people like Don Asia Wilson has a statue in front of the Colonial Life Arena Don is getting a statue I believe on Main Street in Columbia South Carolina they really cherish the stars they cherish their stars so it makes the Leah Boston's and everybody else want to start coming there and playing for this tradition this culture that they're building and I think when you got Don and you got Asia helping the league rise then what else happens I said it started with Don I think Katelyn Clark you know co-goals to Iowa Angel Reese comes to LSU all of these eyes are starting to get put on women's college basketball started about 6-7 years ago as these people who became the stars of the sport started to grow when I was paying attention to South Carolina after they won their first championship and paying attention to women's basketball that's when I started to see the Katelyn and Angel Reese and I was like these girls are really good the page buckets really really good and I think it all starts with Don but I think Katelyn took everything to a whole other level with her style of play I think I agree with you I think there's a couple other components I think Steph Curry is the cause of the rise of women's basketball and in the way that Steph changed the game he changed the game in a way where they made it more accessible for women and that you could shoot in the way that Katelyn Clark shoots dribble pass back when they were watching some girl post up and shoot a lefty layup was the most boring thing in the fucking world they can't dunk, they have no explosiveness they're not powerful around the rim and to be honest in a lot of ways we don't even want to see post play like watching the Zach Edie guy and he'll do great in the NBA but he's not like oh my god this is the most prolific player I've ever seen you'd rather watch Zion fucking dunk from the free throw line in college so the male explosiveness was great but also Steph brought the game beyond the three point line and what girls showed us is that they too can shoot and when they were shooting like Katelyn was shooting like these other players were shooting they'd be incredibly effective it showed us that men will also indulge in that type of basketball so it shows not only are you making such a great point man the thing that I marvel at I'm the greatest massage installer it is unbelievable the way that you were able to bring it back to the patriarchy was un fucking real and by the way no woman probably caught that, I'm sitting there listening like this guy is one of the greatest uploaders of patriarchy ever if they weren't women they would have been able to catch he'd be giving these women these prays like no no no the greatest the rise for women's college basketball Steph Craig it's not a bad argument just wait to my next part of my point if you thought that part I'm listening, I'm all is, let's go they got women's college basketball is the greatest because of the patriarchy because of the patriarchy Steph changed the game that made the game more accessible for the way women play it women started playing it according to the way Steph plays the game they actually compete the way the Steph plays they can't compete with the explosiveness number two they started to get beautiful I'm just being honest with you there is a surplus of incredibly beautiful women that are playing the game and they are so much more marketable when they're beautiful they're stunning these women now there was always a few WNBA players that were stunning but there weren't this plethora of beautiful women of all shapes colors and sizes stunning women running up and down the floor shooting threes from everywhere y'all listening and y'all might be upset but you know he's not lying instead of saying they're stunning they're very marketable there's a very marketable I'm just trying to speak too truthfully but the reality is the angel reads very marketable Caitlin Van Lillith Hailey Van Liff Cardoza South Carolina there's also a page Buckers is very beautiful there's tons of beautiful so the overall beauty of the league is lifted and unfortunately the sports where women are more beautiful they get more eyeballs and they play hard as fuck I tried to watch men's college basketball I tried to watch the national championship I don't know who's playing Zack E.D. is the only one I know it was Connecticut versus I don't even know who the fuck they played it was so I watched it the first half was 30, 36 this shit looked like women's basketball 20 years ago but the thing with the women being more marketable as you said now which is a perfect way of describing it much better than what I was saying if you look at women's beach volleyball it's on ESPN unfortunately for women when they are more beautiful it increases eyeballs it does is when women are more beautiful we're more into the things that they're doing it's unfortunate but the reality is their beauty mixed with their elite skill has made them more interesting than watching the men play I think it's the elite skill first why are you upset? Taylor wasn't disagree but she can I think it's the elite skill first I do, I really think it's the elite skill first and I've never thought women's basketball players weren't attractive they've always been attractive I just think that this is it really truly is the elite skill set to your earlier point that I will say when I see Caitlyn Clark I see Steph Curry when I see Malaysia of South Carolina I see Carrie Irving they really do ball as them there's no question about that skill and all in all all of their skill has risen and the game has gotten much better much more enticing but what has also risen is the fact that they're all models now there's all these beautiful women that are out here playing sport and when beautiful women do things we watch and then when they do things at an incredibly high level they become superstars she will become the most marketable athlete on the planet you've seen with that girl who was she's fake Chinese and ended up snowboarding for them she went to Stanford Eileen Gu or something like that she was American and then she went over she was American and then she traded in her country and fucking traded her but she made she was half Chinese or something like that but then she ended up playing as a professional athlete on the fucking planet she's a stunningly beautiful woman who is brilliant but also incredibly good at I think snowboarding I don't know if y'all remember I said one time I said that when you watch women's college basketball it's like all the girls play like Steph Curry or Tim Duncan and that is a very high level of basketball if you know anything about Tim Duncan of course you know about Steph Curry that is a high level of basketball I love seeing these girls bang out in the paint I'm seeing that Leo Boston bang out in the paint Asia Wilson bang out in the paint Cardoza bang out in the paint they got these big girls down low they couldn't do nothing with them Iowa couldn't do nothing with Cardozo yo come on what did I say speaking like meek do you think the NIL plays a part into it because now that they're able to be marketed a bit more that's a good argument that like they're incentivized the companies are incentivized to make these players bigger I also think the internet just blowing up all of them have their own TikTok accounts and Instagram accounts and they're blowing up like it's attention like this was the highest the South Carolina game versus Iowa was the highest most viewed basketball game men women or anything over the last five seven years is like they said 18.7 million people watched and at the peak 24 million people watched great my group chats are talking about this not the male games and it's fucking awesome and the girls should be stoked and I'll be honest with you the way that they're handling it like I've seen a lot of the press conferences and there's like a decorum that they all have right they are there's an elegance that they all speak to it there's that girl that I think it was page buck buckers page buckets page bucket she was like one play doesn't you know make a game and I should have played better in these other it was like a very mature approach to what happened in the game and you've seen it from a bunch of them especially in losses and it's like I thought it was it's really great it was really great it's going to be even it's going to be great next year because South Carolina got Malaysia foielli coming back to Nisha Johnson she make sure that make sure that's her name Taylor shout out Johnson or the Tessa Johnson yeah it's Tessa Johnson right shout out uh Steph for making this possible now I don't think enough credit has gone to Steph for making this beautiful game well why do you think Katelyn Clark changed the game too though yeah Tessa Johnson I knew he was going to be upset about that Katelyn Clark no I'm just I don't know I don't why because she's the greatest female basketball player ever why is she because she that's how she changed the game she's she no she just Michael Jordan changed the game yeah no she just shoots the ball incredibly well and from distance that most women just haven't shot from why do you why do you think Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time why do you think he changed the game of basketball I don't know it's whatever y'all be saying because he's the goat Katelyn is a fucking goat why do you think she isn't because she's white because you raised us you know his white people I'm the only white person you like do you think that the media was giving her too much attention yes god damn you made a point too like even even no there was a report that you know the um what do you call it the cops won the Gamecocks won but um nope of course well look they said that they won right but then had a picture of fucking Katelyn Clark well I was seeing it but that's not Katelyn's fault here's the thing I'm not saying it is her fault you know what people are forgetting at the end of the game when the Gamecocks were about to win a lot of people got upset because they put the camera on Katelyn put up Katelyn's stat line all the things she accomplished in college but this is what they forgot her coach called time out so she could get that love her coach called time out with 20.7 seconds left pulled her out the game so she could get that applause and get that love as soon as that was over they went right to South Carolina and also like right to the Gamecocks she carried all the scrutiny she carried all the expectations they were more curious about her and her journey and they were more curious about her and her journey than the Gamecocks this year whether that's fair or not it doesn't matter that's where the attention lied and she brought the attention to that last game and Dawn Staley mentioned that that was beautiful that she even brought that and somebody asked me they said can we stop talking about Katelyn being white and I said no and the reason the answer has to be no is because he stopped talking about Barack Obama being black he stopped talking about Tiger Woods being black no will you ever stop talking about Eminem being white no you know why? because when you're a person that excels somewhere where usually your race doesn't excel you will always be looked at in that way because you're not used to seeing any player play like that but especially some little white girl from Iowa you're not used to hearing somebody rap like that but especially some white dude Detroit Michigan you've never seen a black president that is the reason Barack Obama is Barack Obama and Barack Obama is not black he's just gay right? I was going to say another long line of decent democratic presidents he's the John F. Kennedy's the Bill Clinton's whoever nah it's a whole fucking thing he's a history lesson that's what I'm saying Tiger Woods is the same way you don't see no black man dominate golf like that so it is what it is he'd just be another victim of spousal abuse he really would why don't we ever talk about that these white bitches from Norway beating this shit out of American black that's right wasn't Jonathan Mages wife you know what I'm saying what happened with Al Sweden try to take down a black they are racist they are racist they try to take down a black Taylor pull up the bills Taylor come on

outside of your wife that you idolize for your daughters that I idolize for my daughter I'll be honest I don't really idolize people based on their gender you know but I think that there are there are aspects of my mother that I really admire and I want my daughter to know about like my mom's incredibly hard working and ambitious and uh yeah I want her to understand those things and experience those things 100% um I think that's a great question I think that's a great question 100% um yeah but I've never thought of something like oh just this is just a woman thing that that she needs to do well what about like a role model like my mom for sure also like my wife's mom to be honest with you like everything that she's going through and her perseverance within it 100% yeah how about you uh my daughter's got some fly ass aunties man like it's a fly really dope circle of women that are around my daughters I mean of course you know your grandma the grandmas speak for themselves just this one here uh I just wanted to show off this legacy of resilience jacket uh the grandmas speak for themselves but then it's just like you know it can be like my wife got a dope circle of friends you know I got a dope circle of friends we all friends it can be anybody from like my wife's great college friends we all have great circle of friends we got some really dope women around us that um you know our daughters can look up to because I mean I'm surrounded by by women you know what I'm saying I'm literally surrounded by women on on on both sides all my wife's friends like all her college friends you know friends that I've met throughout the business that that I became our friends like I just got a really really dope tribe of uh women to look up to yeah nobody I want nobody I want I don't want to say none of their names because all you unhealed heathens will start looking people up we don't need that away from my my energy we don't need that okay Vanessa Alvarez says just found God any advice on forming a relationship with JC who is JC you know his daddy now so through his daddy you'll you'll learn about this son I mean what God did you find I mean isn't he all the embodiment I thought God was the father Jesus was the son he is but I think Jesus is the embodiment of God the human form so what are we the Bible says God created man in his image according to his likeness flawed creatures when we are trying our best to live that Jesus might have been flawed too no he wasn't and I think that's the difference I think we I think that's what we tell ourselves yes that is the mythology that we choose to believe I think we tell ourselves Jesus was a perfect being and by the way he probably was because we're all perfectly imperfect you know like why can't why why couldn't Jesus have flaws I think that's what made him so special is that he's the one man that was not flawed and then we should also we should all try to aspire to live our life the way that he would even though we know we will fail yeah I don't know I'm not good I'm not a pastor I just feel like why would God only make one model of me we wouldn't have to go through any of this this is God we're talking about so maybe God you know the Lord works in mysterious ways but I think it's really beautiful about it is it's going hey you're gonna fuck up that's who you are as a human being but what you should try to do is strive to not fuck up and strive to behave like that guy would why make that model why just make it so perfect why make the airplane but I'm saying why make the airplane God knows we need fun but God knows we need fun he knows we're like fucked up shit we can have fun perfect yes we can a bunch of Jesuses walking around would not be funny bro Jesus walked on water Jesus turned water to wine that's only impressive bread and two pieces of fish and fed multiple people impressive because we can't do it if all of us could do it we wouldn't even be looking up to him nah bro that shit is way fly and anything I've heard any of us do that's what that's the point because we can do it because we can't do it imagine if all of us could do it it wouldn't be fine regular we all walking shouts watch a mic it's the equivalent to us walking right now shouts yeah shouts yeah shouts you've been around long enough I'm gonna say something that I may at it alright there's a big big difference between hanging out with millionaires on a motherfucking yacht okay then partying with people just locally in a basement somewhere in New York City is it not both might be equally fun but one really really makes you feel like wow don't you think nah no you're lying I've seen you in the Hamptons bro your turn up is different now I see your turn up now I see your turn up now don't try that shit with me but I'm always with my homies no matter where I go but y'all all came up together because everybody getting to the money now but it wouldn't be fun just to hang out with the motherfuckers that got money it's only fun to be around the homies everybody if all of us were as perfect as Jesus it's like being a billionaire probably better I understand what you're going with but I think the reason why we're excited by those billionaire shits is because we're not billionaires so the opportunity to just taste it for a week or a weekend is really enticing to us but why couldn't we all just be on that level because that's how humans are we value these things that we cannot have I think we need to talk to God I think somebody there's no I think we might I actually think that if we revisit the story of Jesus and don't look at Jesus as perfect look at Jesus as a man who could who was flawed just like us but chose to live in a way where people thought he was perfect that would be more of a story that's more of a story maybe but again I don't know I could have gotten wrong my understanding was that he was perfect and all of us are flawed and that's why we should follow him and that he was willing to but maybe he was flawed I don't fucking know we follow people who we watch evolve so like if you're a person who we used to watch and you was like incredibly flawed you did fucked up things or even just keep physical appearance in it if you was fat and you was out of shape but then we saw you get in the shape and get your life together you follow that you're inspired by that so I don't see why I couldn't be the same I just don't understand why you go from a perfect model to say you know what this perfect thing didn't cut it it's something that's flawed he started out with just people and then he made the perfect model so we were all just here I don't think Abraham was perfect Adam and Eve weren't perfect Eve we fucked up once she took the apple this is wild hold on now so let's just say based off what the bible said the first two people on this earth were Adam and Eve Eve was incredibly flawed caused Adam to flaw Cain and Abel were their only children Cain killed Abel jealousy and being incredibly flawed then went off and found a wife don't make any sense I know so you made all of these flawed individuals to make the one perfect person to be down here with all of these flawed fucks and then those flawed fucks killed you one perfect model what if and maybe this is what Christianity is all about talk to me God created this perfect model to come down here and try to change all of us and get us to as close to perfection as possible or let us see that perfection is attainable and we fail bro that is Christianity that is I'm not a pastor I'm not a pastor you're really dumb you're right I'm not a pastor I'm not a pastor we love you we appreciate you and we're going to see you next week let me know if this is Christianity I do want to know what's that Christianity for real exactly I don't know so he sent his son to try to save us and then we killed him he sent his one and only son for what? stop the podcast stop the podcast they'll be more next week we need to bring a pastor on you did you grow up Jehovah's Witness? I've always asked those questions can we bring a pastor on? we've had one before but I've always asked those questions as always Andrew already did you think we're smart you think we're intelligent you think we're brilliant I don't know Jesus you're probably right too thank you for listening
