Question everything in RCA records is now, and is now available for streaming and downloading. I got the weirdest text the other day. I got a text from my man, Shy LeBuff. And you know, Shy, if you ever speak to Shy, he don't, he don't like, when he texts, he don't like text in complete sentences, right? I'm gonna read the text to you, cause I didn't know what the fuck he was talking about. Capital letters, all capital, one word. Brock Hampton, good people, might've saved me. Be nice. Wow. I still don't know what Shy is talking about. But Brock Hampton, album Ginger, next chapter of Brock Hampton's rapid rise over the last two years. Ginger includes recently released tracks.

Yeah, Boost Mobile doesn't offer one great thing, it offers many great things, like super reliable, super fast nationwide network and four lines for $100 a month with unlimited gigs for data, talk, and text.

And the paperback for my second national bestseller, Shukwin Anxiety Plan tricks on me. It'll be out Tuesday, September 3rd. And also on September 3rd, I'll be at the Barnes and Nobles on Fifth Avenue with Rick Ross, because Rick Ross' book comes out on September 3rd. His book is called Hurricanes. So we'll be having a conversation about both of our books. So Barnes and Nobles. Oh no, actually, it's not the one Fifth Avenue. It's Barnes and Nobles Union Square. Ooh! Yeah, 33 E17 Street at 7 p.m. I'll be there with Rick Ross, and I'll be signing copies of my new book, Shukwin Anxiety Plan Tricks on Me, and Rick Ross will be signing copies of his book, Hurricanes. And then on September 5th, I'll be at the Powerhouse Arena in Brooklyn at 7 p.m. with Dr. Jessica Clemens, having a discussion about my favorite subject, Mental Health, and also signing copies of my book, Shukwin Anxiety Plan Tricks on Me. The paperback will be out September 3rd. It's a beautiful thing. Now, where do we start, man? Do you want to start with this special that I told you about when I saw it on Broadway, and I told you it was phenomenal? And I said, this is probably his best work, and I've never been big on his stand-up. I just haven't. Not that I don't think he's funny, because I thought his sketch show was hilarious, killing me softly was cool, but I never was like, ha ha, Dave Chappelle! Right. This one is one of them ones, bro. Yeah. I mean, he's the goat. Chappelle is the goat. I don't see why you would say he's not. He's the goat, it is undeniable. I haven't seen the whole thing. Okay. What I have seen of it is exceptional, but he's always exceptional, and it's just a really cool thing to see happen culturally, because maybe like six months ago, right, before we dropped the views from The Sist, my last one, I think on this podcast, I said, if this is successful, it's gonna open up the doors for the goats, the greats, the biggest comics in the world, to get back to being edgy again, and to tell these jokes. Cause everybody was kind of like running scared. Now, I'm not saying that in any way, Chappelle's watching views from The Sist and going, oh, I can do this now. But what it did is it starts the ripple effect. And like, I think everybody plays a role on their level in the ecosystem. You know, I think about like with mental health for you, you're not the first guy to talk about mental health, but you have a powerful potent voice. So it's like, when you speak about something, it echoes, right? And other people pay attention. There is somebody who told you about mental health. Absolutely. Right? Absolutely. You start speaking about mental health. Forever. Forever, right? But you start speaking about, and then it becomes this national movement of awareness for especially in the black community, right? And. Timing matters too. Timing, timing size. Timing is really everything. All these things matter. And I just thought it was so cool to see one of the goats up there, laying it on the line, not worrying about, you know, what could happen. I mean, taking a very different approach than he did in past specials, where I thought he was a little apologetic about certain topics. And like, I felt he was like very accommodating, you know, to what people might feel. And this one just going, no, I'm fucking great. I'm a go for it. And like, that's what I wanted to happen from views, bro. I wanted to bring comedy back. Well, yeah. If you got fucked you money, why do you care? That's my thing. I always see like that with artists, with musicians. If you already got all the money, why don't you just make the fucking music you want? Why are you trying to cater to an audience? Why are you trying to make people like you just do your best art? And I promise you everything else will fall into place. That's it, that's it. So that's what I'll say to like, a lot of people in between me are like, yo, they're giving all, they've all the credit for going against PC culture and going against, you know, cancel culture. You've been doing that for a while, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, yeah, but like, that's part of the system. It's not like somebody does it first or somebody probably did it before me and I had a louder voice than them. And then I was able to reach some people and then he was able to reach some people that you're just playing your part in the ecosystem. And one day I'm gonna be on Chappelle's level where I'm gonna be able to voice things that's gonna have that much of effect. But it's like, it's just so cool. If you believe that we're all connected on some kind of matrix, it's cool to see something I think I really lean hard into, reach the highest level. And even if I played a little part of it, get in there. And I think it's different though. It's different because it's the mystique of Dave Chappelle. We've seen Dave Chappelle walk away from $50 million before. So this narrative right here feeds into his, the rebellion of Dave, Dave Chappelle's a rebel. You can't tell Dave Chappelle what to do. Dave Chappelle's gonna do whatever the fuck he wants to do. You know what I'm saying? That's how Dave Chappelle chooses to stay sane. And with you, it's like, still the underdog in a lot of ways who don't have shit to lose. So you might as well swing for the fucking fence. I also don't have fucking money. You know, I have fucking money. There's a different level of risk. It's like, I'm putting on the table and it's all. Dave has done it. Dave has had the TV shows. He's done the movies. So he's like, look, I did all that already. This is what the fuck I wanna do now. You may still want to do some of those things. You know what I'm saying? But either way, you're gonna be able to do them on your terms. Right. Because like, nobody really gives a shit. I think that's the one thing that Dave is really exposing. I think it's another reason too. A lot of this shit that Dave is talking about is coming from a personal place. He's like, I'm here to defend my fucking friends that got caught up in this bullshit. He's had personal things happen to him because he's received back life. So it's all coming from a personal place. You understand what I'm saying? So being that it's coming from a personal place, people accept it just a little bit more. It's like, okay, this guy's not trying to be a rebel for the sake of being a rebel. He's not playing fuck PC culture for the sake of saying fuck PC culture. I've been gotten thrown out of here. My friends are thrown out of here and it affects me personally in that way. Absolutely. Yeah, I think it's great. I think it's great to see. You know what I mean? There's always a bummer because when Dave Chappelle does a joke that you have a similar joke to, there's so much gravity around Dave, you just gotta kill the joke. I don't believe that. Duvall said the same thing to me earlier. Duvall was like, man, and Duvall don't give it up for nothing. Yeah, but for Dave is different. And I have a joke that I think it's more developed. I think it's a better joke, to be honest. Let it rip then. Nah, I gotta take it out. I gotta take it out. Hezzy. I gotta take it out. It don't matter if another player got the same move. All right, you might've perfected it a little bit better. Well, yeah, but at the same time, we have this code where in comedy, it's like an independent or like a unique idea is so valuable because that's our only currency that you gotta just go, all right, bro, you got that one. But if you know you didn't steal it. Now, if you didn't get this idea until after you heard Dave do it, then I would be like, I get it, exactly. But if you had the idea before he did it and you had it. I've been touring. I mean, people who listen to this right now, you've seen me do it on tour, right? It's the MJ joke. You've seen me do it on tour for a long, long time. And it's just, it's one of those things where it's like, we have a couple similar ideas. I have a whole other section of the bit, which is the thing I really like. And I think it leads to that he doesn't touch upon at all, but we have a couple similar ideas and it's like, I have too much respect for comedy and a guy like Dave to where I would wanna, I would wanna continue to do it. I might wanna release, I don't know, maybe not, probably not, but I might on some level wanna release a joke to like teach people, hey, Dave Spel has never seen me do this joke. I've never seen Dave Spel do that joke. But we both came out with a similar idea. And like this happens sometimes. Like don't get freaked out when you see two people say something similar because people have similar ideas. Like you go on Twitter, you're gonna see a clever tweet about something. I mean, look, even the Jesse Smollett joke that he did. Hilarious. I said that on his podcast. The day it happened. What? The joke about like, why would a person who's racist and homophobic watch Empire? I did a question of the day about that. Oh yeah, yeah, but he got the whole, he had the whole, his joke was Jesse, you say Smollett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A French actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who got assaulted. Right. You know what I'm saying? I guess what I'm saying is like a bunch of people had come up with that tape. And I think what we should do when that happens is go, oh shit, we're having parallel thinking with one of the greatest. Yeah, but if you have, I don't have a problem with that. If you have one thought, like he had one thought, but he built out this whole other world for that. Right. One thought. So if you have the same thought, but you built a whole other world out for it, why not? Why not let it the fuck rip? The MJ joke was the only joke that I saw that, and by the way, I died laughing when he said that, but there was no like socially redeeming value to that joke. Yeah. That was just some niggas shit. Like, what the fuck? You got molested when you was a kid. Only thing you got the show for is uncomfortable things giving Dennis. You know what I'm saying? Like at least you got to say you got your dick sucked by the king of pop. No? Yeah. That wouldn't do it for me. No, I don't fuck with the king of pop. And if you laugh at it, but that was the only thing that didn't have anything deeper to it. Right. To me. You know what I'm saying? Even the transgender joke had a deeper meaning to it. One of them, a lot of them did, but the one in particular when he was like, the transgender looked at him and said, I don't want to give away a joke. You got to watch it special. Yeah, go watch it. We support this. But is this one when the... I'm gonna definitely say this one because I'm not gonna take this out of context. But the transgender, when the transgender said to Dave, you know, when you make jokes about R. Kelly, they say you're normalizing R. Kelly. When you make jokes about us, how come they never say you're normalizing? Woo! Transgender. Woo! That's a bar. Woo! That's a bar! Woo! You gotta make sure you think like... Hot! Hot! Listen, man, I personally think this is Dave's best stand-up special. Really? But I've never been a huge Dave Chappelle stand-up person. Right. I enjoy Dave. Kelly Softly is a good special. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. The other joints he did on Netflix, they were cool. Yeah. This one was hilarious. Yeah. Like... Everybody go out and watch it, man. Go support. It was great. And you know what? The joke, it wasn't even a joke. The observation he did when he... That's on Instagram, so we can talk about that. But what he talked about, he was doing the impersonation of people who... I didn't like that. What? Tell me why. So he opens... Play the clip, play the clip, Taylor. You'll play it. He opens up the special with this and the... The first part of the joke is the blah, blah, blah. Write the Constitution, you know what I mean? And then the second part of the joke is like, here's another impression. You gotta get out of here. You can't say that. You're canceled. Who's that impression of? And then he looks at the audience. You, motherfuckers, you guys are the worst. You guys are this. You guys are the... We can't say shit. We can't have no fun anymore. It's like... You perform to sold out arenas every single weekend. There's no way you could believe that. You have sold out crowds every weekend, loving everything that you're doing around the world. Nobody's trying to cancel you. Nobody's triggered. Nobody's nothing. You can't truly believe that, right? You might be speaking about 10 people on Twitter, but I'm a comic, right? I perform sold out theaters around the world. I don't have these people, and if somebody does get triggered, the audience turns on them. If they go, you can't say that. My audience will start consuming them. That's piranhas. But it's the same reason when we can see 10 people tell you that they love you on social media, but one say, fuck you. And you pay attention. You pay attention to it. So my feeling is you too smart to put a spotlight on that. It's hard not to though. But there's a different way that you could do it, right? I get that you want to address cancel culture, and I get that you want to do that, right? But even when I put out views, the point wasn't about the audience. The point was about comics. I was like, yo, comics, stop being pussies. This is what we do. We do comedy. Go out there and do comedy. The audience is up to you to get the audience to laugh at it and make them feel comfortable. It's not up to you to tell the audience how to laugh. It's up to you to make them. But calling them out is part of not being pussy though. I would think. Nah, because the best, in my opinion, the best thing is showing, not telling. Yeah, but calling them dumb and letting them know they're pussy, and that way, I love Pete Davidson, you know what I mean? And Pete did it this weekend too, but it wasn't in a joke form to put a backfire on you. But when you do it in a joke form the way Dave did, because if you notice, everybody in the audience started yelling out Trump, which is another ill part of nuance to me like, Trump ain't responsible for everything, motherfucker. But everybody was like, Trump, Trump, Trump. And he was like, no, that's you. And by the way, he did that on the special, I don't know what he shot the special at. When he did it in New York, New York crowd was the same way. He did that same joke in New York and everybody in that theater was like, Trump, Trump, Trump. He's like, no, that's you. I thought that's a great way to put the mirror back on people, man. I love that. I love that and I love the mirror. I just think the most effective mirror is when you show it instead of tell, right? Like when you expose it, that's just me. I thought he did it with the setup though. Yeah, maybe. The setup of breaking it down and saying, this person and that person and that person and everybody's like, hey, Trump, Trump. They didn't see that curve coming. Right, right. No, motherfucker, it's you. Right, you're basically saying, hey, you criticize Trump about this, but you're actually doing the same thing. Yeah, you're doing the same exact shit. So we saw it this week with Janelle Monay. Janelle Monay apologized. I couldn't believe it. To social media. I couldn't believe it. Simply because she had a suggestion. She said, look, how about somebody registered people to vote at Popeyes with these long lines? Now, I don't know if you guys pay attention, but from now until October of next year, everywhere you go where there's a crowd, it's going to be somebody there registering people to vote. I don't give a fuck if it's the mall. I don't care if it's a concert. I don't give a fuck if it's a fucking open affair. Any place you go to meet people registering people to vote. So for her to say that, for anybody who's really about that, registering people to vote life, that's basic. That's not even a bright idea. That's just like, hey, it's a lot of people that Popeyes should go register people to vote. It was a kid in Charlotte, North Carolina. His name was David Ledbetter, I think his name was. Teenager. That's what he was doing this weekend. Before Janelle Monay said that, he was at Popeyes registering people to vote. So I'm seeing people killing Janelle Monay. They're like, you're not taking into consideration voter suppression and, you know, what makes you think that all black people are registered to vote? First of all, she ain't saying shit about black people. She just said register to vote. We don't know who's in line at Popeyes. We don't know who the fuck is eating these chicken sandwiches, right? We can guess. Maybe. I don't think you make $67 million. I saw mad white people in line. I'm not gonna lie. We were in Chicago and we went to one Popeyes in the black neighborhood and them chicken sandwiches were gone, bro. Done. We went to a Popeyes in a mall in a white neighborhood. They were there. They might not be there now. When'd you go? Cause they completely sold out everywhere now. Oh wow. Well, when we went there, it was good. It was Friday. We went there Friday. Yeah, they completely sold out. Popeyes put out a press release. Wild cultural experience. Talk to me. We were in Chicago, right? You know, I do all the vlogs and everything. So I'm with Alex and Mark. And we pull up to the mall and there's a SWAT team in front of the mall. They got their guns out and everything. And I roll up on the SWAT team with my camera and I go, y'all protecting the Popeyes, right? They're like, can we help you? Is there a problem? I'm like, I'm like, no, no. There's a chicken sandwich like sold out everywhere. And that's it. Like I got pussy real quick. I was like, no, everything's okay. Blah, blah, blah. Alex started walking away. I was like, fuck that. I ain't getting arrested again, right? So we go down. We go start eating the Popeyes sandwiches. We start eating the Popeyes sandwiches. Yeah, we went down there. We got the Popeyes sandwiches. It's delicious. We go down. We take two bites out of Popeyes sandwich. All of a sudden one of the SWAT guys walks up, comes into the mall downstairs for the Popeyes comes up. He goes, hey man, I'm sorry about that. We just overreacted a little bit. And we didn't know that you were just kind of joking around. We found out about the whole Popeyes thing. So enjoy the chicken sandwiches. Alex is looking at me like, is this what it's like to be white? How many of you knew it was you? The SWAT team? How many of you knew it was you? I apologize. They might have been like, oh, that's Andrew's show. I think one of them might have known something like that. So that was. But just look at it, Alex's eyes, as he's eating this chicken sandwich, like slowly looking up. It's like a Japanese dude. Talk about this fucking sandwich. Is it really this good? No, it's really that good, man. Better than Chick-fil-A? Yeah, it's better. It's better. Really? And you don't like Chick-fil-A? No, I'm not anti-Chick-fil-A. I think Chick-fil-A is just a chicken sandwich. You don't like, and you're not a hype beast either. You're actually a contrarian. I should hate it, by my nature. It was so fucking good. Really? It was so fucking good that I'm positive, I'm positive that it will kill you. Meaning like, they have put so much unhealthy into that sandwich that it will kill you. There's no way that they'll sell that regularly, because it would cause serious bodily harm. Cholesterol, arteries, claws. You bite, the pickle is not one of these flimsy, like McDonald's or Chick-fil-A, little like tiny potato chip thin pickle. It's a- No, that Chick-fil-A pickle is crispy as fuck, bro. Not in my experience. Not like this, not like Popeyes, yeah. It didn't have it like Popeyes. I mean, this is like, you know what's going on, right? No, what's going on? Like, they just need to distract us, right? It's like- Distract us from what? The Epstein shit, like- Dammit, shut the fuck up, man. You don't- Like, we were on their ass, we were on the billionaires ass about Epstein, like this pedophile rings, and they're like, quick, get him a chicken sandwich. They are, son, that's what they do! What if they grinded Epstein up? That's the ingredient! They grinded Epstein up, and the reason it's so tender, is because you are what you eat, and if you need to eat young girls. You don't realize what they- Listen, who runs social media? Let's be honest. Black people run social media. But they didn't give a fuck about Epstein. Nah, but they were starting to give a fuck. And the second they started to give a fuck, these billionaire motherfuckers were like, quick, get a chicken sandwich out there. Get that chicken sandwich out there on these streets. I'm not gonna lie, that shit did come out of nowhere, because I remember coming in here one day- The Amazon's on fire, they're like, quick, get a chicken sandwich. I'm serious. That's all they do. If there's some natural disaster, is get a chicken sandwich. I came in here one day and all the interns were talking about this chicken sandwich from Papa. And I'm like, I can get one of these shit. So I text my wife, I say, yo, I actually called her. I say, yo, Papa's got this chicken sandwich. She was like, don't even fucking think about it. You don't diet, you mind your fucking business. Black men cheat when it comes to chicken. Nah, I didn't. I really didn't. I was faithful. Black men chicken, that's a real- Is that good for real? Bro, let me tell, can you trust me about some hype-beast shit? If I'm hype-beasting, it must be real. There's only one president here who said it was average and that's Taylor, and nobody trusts Taylor up in you. Thank you, you don't know nothing. It's okay, it's okay. Yo, it's okay, we don't need none of you right here. Okay, let me tell you, this is a delicious chicken sandwich. It's the best fast food chicken sandwich I've ever had. That's hands down. And I'm not even a fast food guy. I don't even eat bread. I'll take your word for it. Un-fucking-real. Wow. Well, I think it was a cultural phenomenon. You know, we were- That's what it is, people felt like it was missing out. FOMO, dawg. That's all it is. Mother-fucking-FOMO, dude. It's as simple as that. Slide a little bit to your right if you can. Paige, slide a little bit to your right if you can, please. Okay, this is like some saying that we can look at. We'll look at that in a second. I appreciate that. A saying? What's the saying? I don't know, it's a meme or something like that, she sent us. What's the name of the chicken sandwich? It's a chicken sandwich comparison. We'll get there. We'll get there. We got this, but thank you. We do this every week. But no, with Janelle Monette, they got mad at Janelle because she told people to register to vote and it reminds me of what Chappelle was saying because I'm like- Yo, slide to your right. So you're saying- None of these things have anything to do with it. Number one, if you're mad that, if you're talking about voter suppression, voter registration has nothing to do with voter suppression. Yeah, that's how you stop voter suppression is by registering. By the way, voter suppression doesn't affect you if you're not registered to vote cause you can't vote, you stupid motherfuckers. And if you are registered to vote but you decide to sit on your motherfucking hands and not go out there and vote, guess what? Voter suppression doesn't affect you then. So that throws that stupid ass theory out the window. Then you have people saying, oh, black people have been involved in all the elections lately and black women specifically voted for Hillary in 2016. Very true. But do you also know that in 2016, the black voter turnout was the lowest it's ever been in 20 years. And this is after having a record high in 2012. Do you want to know why? Cause black people didn't go out and vote. Do you want to know why that was? Cause they didn't have nobody on the ballot they wanted to vote for. No, it's because a week before the elections, they dropped those Hennessy Buffalo wings. They shut the fuck up. Charlemagne, this is a fact. This is fact. You didn't notice? A week before Hennessy Buffalo wings came out. Black people rebelled against Hillary Clinton and they didn't give a fuck. That's all it really was. No, black people were tired. They ate all the Hennessy Buffalo wings and they needed to take masks. Who sells Hennessy Buffalo wings? Say what? Who sells Hennessy Buffalo wings? BBQs. Oh. Say what? BBQs is only in New York, right? There was a lot traveling. Listen, people's traveling for the Hennessy Buffalo wings. 2016. Black voter turnout decreased significantly. White voter turnout increased significantly. Here you go. You want to increase black voter turnout, put the voting booths in Popeyes. I feel like that is the best way if you want to get almost 100% vote, right? You put the ballots inside Popeyes. I mean, you do got to give people something they want. So it's like. Chicken sandwich after you vote. No matter who you vote for, you get chicken sandwich. But that's what Trump did in 2016. He gave the people racism. He was like, you know what? I know what you white people like. Y'all like racism. Y'all like bigotry. White people came out in record numbers and voted for them. You're not wrong. You got to give people something they want. That's it. Obamacare gave people something they want. Hope. Hope. Change you can believe in. Right. That's what it was. That's why you had record turnout in 2008, 2012. Is racism our chicken sandwich? Yes. Absolutely. Well, if it's that good, I got to try it out, man. Popeyes chicken sandwich was fucking delicious. Absolutely. I need to try out some racism, man. Trump tapped into America's real appetite. Let's be for real. America's real appetite is racism and bigotry. That's what the country was built on. And you know the great thing about racism? Obama tapped into what people might have a taste for. Might have a taste for some change. Might have a taste for some real justice. Might have a taste for some real equality. Might have a taste for some real freedom. That was a taste. But yeah, that's just an appetizer. That's appetizer. What the honor is. You want to satiate me? Here you go. Give me some racism, bro. There you go. And that's what racism, sexism, that's America's appetite. Even homophobia, even homophobia. That's what I'm so skinny to this day, probably, because I haven't been indulgent in one of the most delicious things of whiteness, is racism. Racism. I've been out here eating black stuff my whole life. Including black women. What the hell is wrong with me? If you wonder why you're not gaining no weight. What's wrong with me? I'm trying to tell you. Do I need to get me a white woman and build? A white woman and build? That's how I need to do, guys. Is there anybody building with white women anymore? Say what? Building with white women? I think. You can't build with a white woman. You don't know if you're sorry for politicians? Say what? You don't know if you feel sorry for politicians? Why? When you see that women? No, just a side. When you see white politicians with that women, you don't know if you feel sorry for them? Nah. Because I feel like, if you could fuck us over, you could fuck over your wife. And they do. That's why whenever you see them, get caught up in a scandal. Right? And they fuck them like, ah. Have you seen me? It's understandable. I'm just saying. You think that they ever give a speech where they're like, listen, I understand the struggle. Look what I've been with for the last 40 years. And look at the women. Look at the women they do it with though. They're not even bad. Yeah, I know. They just better than what they got in the White House. Bro, everything's relative, you know what I'm saying? Like, everything is relative. That's all it is. Guys? You're not on the microphone, Taylor. You don't need to. And we don't need you to be. Yeah, yeah, it's fine. Listen, he didn't mean that as I thought. She thought we were going to invite her. Yeah. She did move off the wall, right? You saw her move off the wall. It's like someone's like, hey, you want to dance? No, no, no, no, your friend. Yo, you want a drink? No, no, no, not you. Girl, stand up behind you. Tap your friend. I want to talk to her. Yo, that's your pizza girl off, though. You can't buy her a drink, unless you buy me a drink. OK, now I got to buy both of y'all drinks, just to tell you to get the fuck out of here. Go over there and drink your drink. OK, moral of the story is Popeye's is a good chicken sandwich. I haven't had it yet. And Dave's your pal's special. You should check out. Absolutely. Listen, those are the best things moving this week. Yeah, come on, baby. Oh, oh, crowd, crowd work. What made you do that? So because Charlotte made us so amazing at introductions, love your support, brother. I did? Immediately just goes to text on his phone. Hey, Schultz, is there something you want to promote? I released a special as well, same day as Chappelle, on YouTube. And it's called the CrowdWork special. It's just no material, all freestyle, all off the domes, 35 minutes. And I did it when I was down in DC. And I did it for a specific reason, sometimes I'm like, because I feel like there's too much thinking going on. Everything's a fucking think piece. You know why? Talk to me. People are afraid of backlash. No, no, no, no. They want to have these perfectly crafted things to say so they don't get in trouble. That's why you can't believe nothing nobody's saying anymore. Backlash is thinking, look at your fucking Janelle Monet. It's like we have think pieces about Popeye's chicken. Like that's too much thinking. When you're thinking about Popeye's, like even any blog or every article, you go on Twitter, it's content. What does it really mean that Kamala Harris? What does it really mean that Off-White is it? What does it really mean? It's like we need to stop fucking thinking. Like every time I address something, for real, every time I address something comedically, it's based on what I know the people need, but they might not need it yet, right? Like that's what views was about. And then for this latest one, what I always subscribe to show don't tell, right? So for the latest one, I was like, all right, I got the most diverse audience in comedy. That's without a doubt. Why don't we do a special, right? And Alex came up with the idea of dropping it same day as Chappelle. And why? Why Alex? Why not? Why not? Why? Well, he had a great idea where he was like, he was like, you know, in music, people drop on the same day because when you're in an album listening mood, why not listen? I'll tell you the fundamental difference. Right, but let me, let me explain the point. So like the point of it was, like I got this super diverse audience and everybody in the world is saying, people can't take a joke, people don't laugh, people are offended, right? I am making fun of every race, religion, gender, to their face, and they are laughing at themselves. It dispels this myth that we are humorless people, that we're overly triggered, we're overly sensitive because that is nonsense. I told you the idea I want you to do. I know, we'll get there, we'll get there. But like for me, so what happens is, so it's just like, this is literally just a group of people from all different walks of life, laughing at ourselves in front of other people. It really shows why comedy exists. It's like, it doesn't divide us. It actually brings us together. Everybody's taking it. The Asian guys taking it. The Black chicks are taking it. The Indian dudes taking it. It's just, we are having the white chick with a fucking blazer is taken. That was a clip I showed you, right? And it's like, we are, this is what comedy is and this was for. Well, thanks for explaining that chance to rapper because I didn't get that from the special. I just thought you was showing that you better off the top than everybody else. I mean, that's, that's true. I can't get that deeper meaning. I just thought you was, the chance to rapper put out his album the big day and he had a, on the front of it, he was holding a blank CD. So I'm thinking the album is about his big day album release. And you listen to it and it's way too long. It's longer than Wendy Williams legs. And he's talking about motherfucking being married and shit, which is shit that I can relate to and being faithful because I'm a married man. But I'm like, I don't want to hit 22 records of this shit, right? No, that's fine. But then when he's on reference club the other day, he's like, it's about the big day, like my wedding. So why the fuck wasn't your wife wearing the wedding dress for the album cover? But that's the beauty of the breakfast club. That's the beauty of podcast. That's the beauty is you start that narrative. Like the people that are going to watch it no matter what are going to watch it. But my feeling was like, you know, she pells the goat, you know what I'm saying? And if you want to be in the conversation of goats, then you have to be in the conversation with the goats. So I want to drop the same day because I want you to watch both of them back to back. And I want you to watch them. I want you genuinely to ask, you know, like which one you like. For comedy fans to do that. Yeah, cause I want you to, I don't want you to watch it a year later and then remember like, oh, well, how much should I laugh at Chappelle versus how much we should, I want you to watch them right with each other. And man, if you laugh the same, what an awesome honor to be in the same. Is that fair though? Because I remember you said at the beginning of it, you said you want me to go against Chappelle's well crafted jokes. Cause if I was putting you and Chappelle up against each other, even though you funny off the top, I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want you to give me them slappers that you have really thought about. You might want, you might want to watch the special, bro. You put some of those slappers in there? No, it's off the top. No, I'm saying, I'm not saying that it's not funny. But I'm saying if you want to compete, compete. Yeah. I would want you to compete with your best shit against his best shit. All I'll say is this, I'll just say, yo, watch them, just see how much you laugh. Cause you don't want somebody to be like, oh, it's funny for some off the top shit. No, no, I just want to see how much you laugh. That's it, just laugh. Just see how much you laugh. And then if you're laughing this much at this. Imagine how much you'll laugh in my crafted shit. Now we, now we doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's it. That's all. But it's just one of those things where it's like, I felt there was too much thinking in comedy right now. And I wanted to just bring- I think it was overthinking. Whatever, overthinking thinking. I just wanted to bring back fun. It's like, when you look at a guy like Duvall, like what he's doing out there, like he's bringing fun. All fun, baby. Right, like let's have fucking fun. That's why we got into this shit in the first place because when we were hanging out with our friends, we were having fun and busting balls. When we were hanging out with our friends doing comedy, it was never like, this is my theory on, on blah, blah, blah. I do think the great comedians fucked that up though. Meaning like, Louis C.K., Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle. Not all of them are fun. Some of Dave is fun. But he's smart too though. Like Dave makes you think, like Dave's like, oh shit. I think some of those guys were so smart that all comedians kind of felt like, I gotta be smart to be interesting. Yeah, but some of those guys are only smart. Like Louis is a fucking amazing prolific comedian, but I never had fun around him. He's not fun. Well, he never jerked off with him. Well, who would that be more fun for? His type of fun was just for him. He didn't have the kind of fun that he could share with the family. Hey guys, you wanna do a circle jerk around this young lady real quick? That's his idea of fun. It is crazy. Like Rock is fun. Like I've had some hangouts with Rock. He's fun. He's fun. Rock is fun. But Chappelle is fun. Like really fun. Chappelle is like. Chappelle is let's go get a drink. Let's smoke. Let's hang out all motherfucking night. All nights of four in the morning. Let's go find a club to go to. Did what the DJ's playing music. Matter of fact, I'm gonna have my own little motherfucking party at a hotel. I'm about to motherfucking bar. Everybody come over here. That's what we gonna be at. And that's the thing. That's all it is. It's just like when we hang out, Alex and I are on the road, Mark, I'm just hanging out with our cars, my comedian friends, even us on this podcast. That's a great point. It's fun. Like that's what needs to be brought back. That is a great point. Cause Dave, if you know anything about Dave Chappelle, he's always doing jam sessions somewhere. He's always having parties at his crib. He's always having parties when he's out of town. Like if he's out of town doing the show, he's gonna pull up somewhere. Like I've partied with Dave in South Africa. I've partied with Dave here in New York. Like he likes to have. He's a legend for it. Fun. Yeah, he likes to have a good time. And in the midst of the good time, he's just like anybody else. He's drinking. And we talking about some smart shit that we might start laughing about some bullshit. Like we just throwing ideas up against each other. I would not be surprised if this special, the crowd we're special about put out, if it gets, if it does as well as I think it can do, I would not be surprised if we see more of the serious comics letting loose a little bit and being a little more vulnerable and just goofing around. Well, you know, that's what Dave does after every show. You know what's so funny? There is an extra part on his special. And it's all crowd work. And it's a question answer with the crowd, right? We had no clue. Nobody had any clue. You can only access it if you watch 25 minutes of credits. You can't even fast forward the credits. Or if you go to a show. Or if you go to a show, obviously, right? But like, how wild is that? How, how wild is that? Like that I released the same day. And I didn't even find out about that shit till the next day. But how wild is that? Like being on the same wavelength that both of us had this theory like, yeah, yeah, this needs to be out there. They need to show just, we need to show people that, yo, this is fun. There is funny in the bones. And look, I mean, it's just cool. I think you have that muscle already. But also think that, you know, having a podcast the past few years helped hone that muscle. 100%. And I think Dave has watched people do podcasts. And that's his version of doing a podcast. How do I work it? How do I have that? Because when I saw him in, when I saw him two years ago, he did that. Mine's different than the question answer. Mine is just, this is, I'm performing. This is a show. It's 35 minutes. I'm performing as a show. If someone brings up Epstein, now I'm gonna talk about Epstein. If somebody brings up this or I'm making fun of somebody, it's not like, it's not relaxed. Like we're going, we're going in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes in like that. Like he did, like two years ago, he did that when I saw him at Radio City. Yeah, yeah. And he did it. And I forgot who he bought out with him on stage. But when I saw him at Broadway this year. Yeah, yeah. He bought John Stuart out. And it was just him and John Stuart just going back and forth with the crowd for like another hour. So cool. Yeah. So I mean, like, yeah, listen, man, I think everybody is, everybody's feeding off each other's energies in different ways. Yeah, man. That's the beautiful thing. And it's not in a stealing way. No, it's, that's what people gotta understand. It's like, if someone else is talking about mental health, right? And if Oprah's talking about it, aren't you happy? Isn't that your win? You should want that. You should absolutely want that. You can't be so selfish as to keep some of the two. So like, for me, that's for everybody. If the biggest comic in the world wants to go out there and take on cancel culture, that's a win for me, too. It's what you're trying to do, not me, too. Not a win for me, too. This is actually the opposite of that. There you go, it's me, too. All right, but, but, but. Yo, there's a point in the crowdsource special where somebody brings up something and I talk about my hemorrhoid. I didn't even notice I said this, right? I talk about my, I just say something quick, like a little quick response about my hemorrhoid, and then I go, but hold on, right? And these people are listening to every word so much in the YouTube comments, they go, yo, you hear what he said? He said, butthole on. Like, he, like, they thought that I was making a pun instead of butthole on. They were like, buttholes. I was like, yo, I'm paying attention, man, that is crazy. No, what you said is absolutely true. And it made me think of something. What did you say before that? Don't take on, don't be upset if somebody's taking on your. Boom. Yeah. I want to talk about Colin Kaepernick after we pay these bills. Ooh. Go. Ooh. I got you. There's still a bit of summer left, which means it's still prime ice cream season. That's right, man. I'll be honest with you, my favorite ice cream, hands down, chocolate fudge brownie, you know, and my favorite type of lady, right? Taylor Gang? What's up, Taylor Gang? So, I love it. I love chocolate fudge brownie. I also love oatmeal cookie chunk. That's my favorite ice cream. Both of them from Ben and Jerry's. Without a doubt, always been my favorites. Ben and Jerry's, the motherfucking legends, the goats of this ice cream gang. It's not even a question. Okay. Ben and Jerry's. You go out there and you get some of that ice cream. You get some of that ice cream. You get some of that ice cream. You get some of that ice cream. You get some of that ice cream. You go out there and you get some of that ice cream before summer's over, because you know it slaps in July. It slaps in August. It slaps in September. Shit. It might even slap in October, and you lucky motherfuckers down there in California or Florida, Texas gets to eat it all year. Love Ben and Jerry's. Truly the best. Without a doubt. You put that in the fridge. You put that in your freezer, rather. But what I like to, I like to take it out a little bit. Maybe even throw it in the microwave 10 seconds. Just get it a little loose. I don't want to fight with my ice cream. When it's too hard? Yeah, I don't like that either. I don't want to fight with my ice cream. Not with you. I used to warm the spoon. You warm the spoon, and you dip it in it. It cuts right through. It cuts right through that motherfucker. Absolutely. That's even bad. How do you warm the spoon? Not in the microwave. It'll explode. You put hot water on it. Run hot water on it. Holy shit. Is that what the fucking scoopers are in in the ice cream places? I believe so. Mind blown. Mind blown! This whole fucking time, I had no clue why they keep the ice cream in that shitty water. Yeah, it was warm. But it's warm. Not the ice cream in the scoopers. Yeah. But it's warm so that it cuts through the ice cream. That's it. That's it. Listen, treat yourself to your favorite flavor anywhere ice cream is sold. I find a new favorite at Benjerry.com. That's B-E-N-J-E-R-R-Y.com. Let's get back to the show. Okay. Talk to me. You said something that's very important. You said if somebody is advancing your cause. Charlemagne, you have to be careful here. You might be using logic. You might be using logic. If somebody is advancing your cause, you should not be upset. And if you are upset, what does that say about you and how you feel about that cause? That means that you may be a little misguided. Or maybe it's not as much about the cause as it is about you. Maybe. You know what I'm saying? Listen, I got mad love for Colin Kaepernick. I got mad love for Jay-Z. I'm tired of y'all bickering over this shit. You know what I'm saying? Not y'all too in particular. Just the community, the culture in general. You know what I'm saying? Because at the end of the day, you have two people who I believe are taking two different courses of action to get the one common goal. Now, Colin Kaepernick took a knee for social justice. That's it. Period. He took a knee because of the police brutality that was happening to unarmed black and brown people in this country. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. The cause is social justice. And you have the NFL responding to that, right? Even if they are keeping Kaepernick out of the league for whatever reason, but they are responding to that. If they're saying, look, we're going to start this impact change and we're going to pony up a hundred million dollars to start donating to, you know, different organizations that are doing the work. And we got guys like Malcolm Jenkins running it and Colin, we want you to be a part of this. Colin, you're choosing not to. Then Jay-Z comes along and Jay-Z's with impact change now and they're trying to elevate that conversation and they're using the NFL's resources to empower these organizations that are doing the work and the community on behalf of all these various causes for black and brown people. Why would you be upset at that? Why would anybody be upset at that? Can I ask you a question? Yes. It's a hundred million dollar donation, right? It's more now, actually. Okay. Do you know how much the seven richest and most powerful countries in the world offered to donate to stop the fire in the Amazon? I think the most I saw was five. Twenty million dollars total. Three million dollars a country. The NFL is willing to inject more money in black and brown communities or I'm not exactly sure where this is. Well, what they're doing is... Whatever the fuck. They're giving money to organizations that are doing the work on the ground in these different communities. Boom. So they're injecting money into the communities. Five times more money than the world was willing to inject in saving our oxygen source. They got another planet. They're really out of here, bro. They're really out of here, bro. You better enjoy this shit while you can. Like, Leo, you ain't made enough money to move? Bye. Bye, dog. They are fucking gone. They don't give a fuck. They really don't care. They are out of here, dude. They are fucking out of here. There's other planets that can hold human life. They are out of here, dog. They don't want to deal with the riffraff no more. They don't want to deal with us bitching, complaining. For what? They're over it. They don't want to deal with this shit. There's a planet with some fucking avatars and they chilling. You know what I'm saying? Living their life, bro. They got healthy Popeyes chicken sandwiches. You know what I'm saying? That's the best to kill them. Space food. They really invented that. That's the first thing. They're good. That's the first space food, bro. Let me tell you something. If they put Popeyes chicken sandwiches on Mars, we're going to make it up there, bro. Let me tell you something. We're going to make it up to Mars, bro. What if? We're going to make it up to Mars. What if? We're the babies of all the planets. And everything that every other planet has done, we're just now doing. What if there was already a Popeyes on Mars and that's why it's no life on Mars now? Because of the Popeyes chicken sandwich. Have you thought about that? You understand what I'm saying? It could be a reason that there's no life on these planets no more. They did the fast food thing. Meanwhile, in a galaxy far, far, far away, it's the superior life form saying, oh, that galaxy will never learn about fast food. Yeah, it's another planet about to be disintegrated because of fast fucking food. We had nuclear weapons, but it was a chicken sandwich that took us all. Popeyes chicken fucking sandwich, bro. Killed you. Game over. Have you felt the same since eating that sandwich? Do you feel any different since last Friday? I think I've developed sickle cell. It's possible. It's possible. That shit might have fucked you up and you only knew the real habit. What if white people started getting sickle cell after eating Popeyes? What if Popeyes chicken sandwich is the new small pops blanket? Small pops. Small pops chicken sandwiches. You're not stupid to have a look at history books in the future. Oh, my God. Yeah, we got rid of those niggas with Popeyes chicken sandwiches. Used blankets for the Native Americans. For black people, we did the Popeyes chicken sandwich. That's the other thing too, right? Hey, crack didn't work. Mass incarceration didn't work. The police didn't work. Chicken sandwiches. Let me tell you something. I was talking to somebody the other day, man. I'm not going to say their name because this shit was so stupid to me. Son, that's too funny. We was talking about fucking... They was talking about Popeyes and Popeyes owes us money, which I think is the most asinine, illogical shit in the world. Wait, Popeyes owes the black community money? Yes. Okay. Because it's this whole thing about, you know, we cost $60 million. And I'm not going to put all that on black people. Popeyes chicken sandwich was a cultural phenomenon all across social media, right? We saw some whites. We saw some whites buying chicken sandwiches, yeah. So whatever, $60-something million in advertisement generated for this chicken sandwich. Now people feel like Popeyes owes them something. Nobody told y'all to go buy that shit. Nobody told you to post it on your social media. Popeyes owes you absolutely nothing. Okay? And I don't even remember what the fuck I even started talking about that for. All right? I don't know. Popeyes owes you nothing. Yo, what if one of these Democratic senators that's just tired of being asked about reparations the next time someone asks them, they're like, we gave you the fucking chicken sandwich. They was eating it too. By the way, I haven't seen a presidential candidate eating no Popeyes chicken sandwich. What does that tell you? That should make you know. What does that tell you? That should make you think something. Because usually when there's some cultural shit going on and they want a panda, they go to there and pull up the Popeyes. Oh, you know whoever wins the next championship when they come to the White House will be served. Popeyes chicken sandwiches. And you can't even be mad at Donald Trump. Can you? No. Can you? He's on brand. He's gave you Chick-fil-A. He gave you McDonald's. He's gave you Burger King. Ooh. That's my hypertension. That Popeyes chicken sandwich. That Popeyes chicken sandwich is coming back. Ooh. What's that? Ah. Oh, God. I'm having chest pain. Ooh. Ah. Why you feel like DJ Cool just now? Ooh. Ah. Ooh. He clipped my throat. No, no, no. Listen. All I'm simply saying is, I don't know what the fuck I'm saying. I'm just tired of talking about Popeyes chicken sandwiches, man. We tired of thinking. Stop. It's overthinking of everything. I think people are doing too much overthinking, yo. Yo. It's like it's not that serious. How about this idea? This is some wild shit that I thought. Okay. You know how you could patent something? You know if you invent something you could patent it. Yeah. How fucking stupid is that? Like, let's say you invent the zipper, right? And you patent it. And then let's say a guy who's never even heard of you in Turkey also invents a zipper. You could go to Turkey and then sue him. What's the problem with that? He had no, he can't close his jacket? I don't give a fuck. But think about it conceptually. It's an absurd notion. Is that Chick-fil-A? You know me. No me. Sit down lying about being tired of chickens. Wow. No me. Wow. Sit down lying about being tired of chickens. She just walked in here with Hennessy and Chick-fil-A. Hey. Wow, that was like the blackest thing I've thought we could have done. No, it's not. Life. Yeah. No, you can't. Give me my food, please. You're greedy. I'm not greedy. So you think that if, Charlman, what if someone invents the wheel, right? Yes. If a person invents the wheel in a completely different country, never heard about that first person, they shouldn't be entitled to that invention of the wheel? Like it's just such a preposterous- Listen, you can invent whatever you want. But why do you get to own it? Like I think trademark is bullshit. It's just some things rich, rich people made up so that they could keep all the money for themselves. I don't see a problem with it. You don't want, you don't have no jokes you want to trademark? Jokes are different. Why are they different? But here's the thing, jokes are different. If you saw me do it, you're taking it. If you didn't see me do it, I can't hold you accountable for that. You know how many people I've seen do jokes that are similar to mine? I'm not running up to them saying, oh my God, you stole that from me. Maybe you thought of the same idea. If I know that you stole it to me, if you complimented me on the joke one show and then later I see you doing a joke, that's different. If the guy from Turkey came to your house and he was like, oh, you zip your jackets like that, wear it, that's what's up. And then he goes back to Turkey and makes it, that's stealing. But the dude just wanted to close his fucking shirts and he thought of the same shit as you. I'm going to tell you why you should trademark everything. I think about all the money cash money that he made of bling-bling. I'm dead serious. The idea that you could trademark a word is stupid. I love it. First of all, bling-bling, nobody was thinking about that shit before. They put in the rap records. Yeah, but how do you profit off that? Like, when I say bling-bling, I give you a penny. Yeah, that's what you end up in the dictionary. You had lifestyles of the rich and famous saying, bling-bling. That's how they was describing diamonds after cash money. Fuck that shit, trademark it. Why not? I just think it's absurd. It's like, it's another thing. Like, can you own oxygen? Like, why can you own land but not oxygen? I don't know, bro, but I know these Chick-fil-A fries, bro. Man, this is like air right now, my nigga. I don't even care if you know that. He said the N word, bro. I'm loyal. He could have helped himself. I'm loyal to the soil, all right? Y'all can rush to Popeyes all y'all want. I've been eating Chick-fil-A my whole life and I don't got diabetes. All right? I fuck with Chick-fil-A. That's a good point. Why can't you own air? Yo. Why can't you own the air? Like, we own land. He'll sell air. Say what? I've seen him sell air. Bags of air on eBay. So you're selling bags of air? Like, why can't you sell it? Like, why are you allowed to sell it? Whose air is that? Is that my air? Did you take it from outside my apartment? If you could own water, you know we could own pieces of water, right? You could own a lake. You could own a fucking river if it's on your property. You could... America owns the water around America. That's why I like going to the Caribbean because in the Caribbean, none of the beaches are private. I don't give a fuck... What's there? I don't give a fuck if it's the four seasons. Right. You know... There was one beach that was private. Where? Epsions Island. Yeah, the whole island, though. Yeah, that has beaches. But there had to be water around this island, right? Did you just ask if there was water around an island? Listen, I'm just trying to kill time while I eat these Chick-fil-A fries. Jesus Christ. That was your question? Your professional interviewer? I'm distracted. I'm distracted right now. There's good water around the island? I'm distracted right now. Say what? Now, it's going to be people that watch this shit and say, oh, I knew Chick-fil-A was going to get one of these niggas to get their back. Yeah. There's people that think I'm getting paid for this right now. I mean, you did. It's part of the mid-rolls. We have to talk about Chick-fil-A. No, it's not. Stop acting, bro. No, it's not. Stop crying. You industry dog, it's all good. It's all right. You industry dog, it's all good. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. He talks about his skin regimen, and I don't eat this. And Dr. Natasha Sandy, now you scarfing down French fries from Chick-fil-A. Come on. I have a supersized salad. Can you never say 3S's again, please? Can you never say 3S's again? Okay, because I have to wipe my face off. Do you have a supersized towel so I can clean my fucking body after this? No, you're not. Bro. Dude, that was, like, fellatio. Dude, that was intimate. He just put his mouth inside the fry canister thing, or the fry. Come on in. I'm gonna say that I'm loyal. Huh? Nila. Nila, Chick-fil-A or Popeyes? How the fuck you got a bra on? Chick-fil-A. Let me get some Chick-fil-A. Okay, go ahead and take it. I just want some fries. He ate all the fries. No, I didn't. There's two other fries in there. Oh, that is an OD. I don't know who else moved this in. Chick-fil-A all day. Popeyes is next. Thank you. Popeyes is great for sides. Thank you. No, no, no. You need to stop. You need to stop, y'all. Dad, I'm gonna try the chicken sandwich. Won't you go get a microphone, Nila? Oh. Is that on, Dad? Dwayne, is that one on? Yeah. What did you think about it? I tried the chicken sandwich. I just thought it was overrated. Chick-fil-A would never be defeated when it comes to a chicken. Man, kid, what y'all know about chicken? The Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich kind of has, like, that sweet taste to it. Like, it's something about, like, the Popeyes one was like, it tastes like a chicken breast on bread, really. It was, like, crunchy. Like, they didn't do nothing different. Where at Chick-fil-A, you got options. You see what Charlamagne's eating right now? Grilled. Hold it up real quick. Grilled chicken nuggets. It's grilled, you know what I'm saying? It's the healthier option. There is no healthy option at Popeyes. So you upset because Popeyes isn't healthy? No, I'm not upset. I'm just saying that. How do you feel about ice cream? No. The competition that they tried to create just wasn't there. That's it. I agree. Popeyes bodied them. No, no, no. Social media just hyped it. We gotta stop allowing social media to gash it. Yo, I agree. Because it's like, it was never that serious. You really tried it? I tried it. I had it twice when they brought it up here. And then we ate it again. Oh, so you had another one? Yeah, I had to confirm. Oh. I had to confirm. You know what I'm saying? But this is what it is. I'm just saying, it kind of seems like you like that chicken sandwich. That's all I'm saying. If it wasn't that good, you wouldn't have run it back. You see what you just said on the back of this? So I'll get you on the bottom. Let's get to the bottom of this. Yo, that's what the gay dude says on Sundays. Well, guess what? They gotta do something to cater to the gay community. All right? All right. Take the lay out to do something for the elderly. What if that's why they take Sunday off? Just a buttfuck. Yeah. What's happening? Right? They're like, you think we're gay? What do you think we're doing on Sundays? We put the fill in filet. By the way, that would be the illest marketing scheme ever. That's it, bro. I'm not into my business. You know why we close on Sundays? Mm-hmm. Sodomy. That's it. It's Sodomy Sundays. It's a chicken ranch. Y'all dragging it. The disrespect is crazy. Why is that disrespectful? I had to walk away. Gay guys can't like butt. I'm gonna eat this french fry. If we like chicken sandwiches, they can like butt. You know? The sandwich that Papa has made off is just a butt of the chicken anyway. Really? Yeah. You didn't know that? No. There's like no bones in it. Chickens don't have butt, bro. Chickens don't have butts. Chickens absolutely have butt. No, they just got a hole. So why do you think people say guess what? I think chicken butt. No, the butt. It's not that long. Because it rhymes, though. They just got no, it's just flat. They don't have butts. You think a chicken got an ass on it? I don't know what they did. I would eat it because there's not a part of the chicken that is not tasty, bro. Really? That was disgusting. The gizzards, the feet, the breasts. Yo, I'm gonna be honest with you guys. The legs. I didn't realize how much black people love chicken until this week, bro. The gizzards. Hearing you talk, I thought it was a gross stereotype, but hearing you talk about a chicken in the way that you just did, bro. Like, I know you're married, you love your wife and everything. I haven't heard you speak about your wife like that, bro, like that. I love every part of the chicken. The gizzards. The gizzards. You never had gizzards? No. Oh, I gotta get you some gizzards. KFC sells gizzards. You're saying that saying ill, and you from Philly. What does this mean? If you suck the nigga from Philly's dick, you can't say ill about anything you put in your mouth. All right. Well, Charlotte, Philly's not that self. Exactly. It's not. It is. No, Philly is not. Compared to New York? The Winn-Dixie line is Maryland down. The what? No, because they got to- I mean, the Mason-Dixie. The Mason-Dixie line. I got the Winn-Dixie line. But before there was Chick-fil-A. Was it a chicken shop or something like that? No, Winn-Dixie's a grocery store in the south. Oh. Before Chick-fil-A. You don't know the Winn-Dixie? You don't know what the Mason-Dixie line is? Before Chick-fil-A, but everywhere, the clothes you get one is in Philly. So to me, that's when it starts getting summer. Mmm. Chick-fil-A? Yeah, because it's Philly, it ain't Philly on the border or what? Delaware or Virginia? Delaware. Delaware? Mmm. Would you consider Delaware to south? No, it's not. Anything below the Mason-Dixie line? It's Maryland down. Virginia. Yeah, Maryland, Virginia. Oh, okay, okay, yeah, okay. Got you, got you, got you, got you. Pay some bills. No, let's go back to the fact that he don't know what a Winn-Dixie is. But what is a Winn-Dixie? I know somebody fried about to get fucked up if they don't come in here and get him. Who else fooded it? I mean, I'll cash out them. Winn-Dixie is a grocery store like Publix, Pigly Wiggly, Stay On The South. Ah. Fool Lion. Yeah, we never had those in New York. Like these big, I guess maybe D'Agostino's or something like that. Wawa is only a Jersey thing. Pathmark maybe we had one. Are you serious? The only people that fuck with Wawa is New Jersey. Philly definitely fucks with Wawa. We have Wawa. Philly, AKA Jersey. I love Wawa's. Oh, that's what we were talking about. We're talking about Kavernick. Shit. That's what we were talking about. Yeah. How the fuck did we get here? You know how we got here? Someone said chicken and he went crazy. You fucking lost his goddamn mind. Bro, you were sounding like Bubba Gump from the Fuck Forrest Gump or whatever. Papa Hot Chicken. KFC's Chicken. Salted Chicken. Chicken feet. Chicken arms. Chicken butt. You're right. Okay. Hold on. So you want to reset and then come back and really stay on focus with Kavernick? Yeah, let's take a knee. All right. Let's take a knee on chicken. Let's just take a knee on chicken and we get right back to it. Let me talk to you about my man Ray J, man. All right. And Ray Conn, okay. Everyone needs a great pair of wireless earbuds.

One more time, buyrayconn.com slash brilliant idiots. Now, back to what you said. You're absolutely right. If you care about an issue, you shouldn't care about who is elevating said issue. There is no reason for people to not be rooting for what Jay-Z is attempting to do with the NFL to work. Doug, if you can root for Trump when he gets people out of prison or whatever, when he does prison reform shit? They don't root for that. But there are people that can separate their hatred of his policies and his demand. You should be able to, yeah. And I think there are people that can. Yeah. And they can go, well, this one thing is good. We should support that. I'm happy that dude got out. I'm happy he got out. If you can do that with the person you hate the most, but can't do that with Jay-Z, I'm just confused. I'm gonna tell you why it's even more logically inconsistent than that. Yeah. We want Colin Kaepernick to be back in the league. We salute Eric Reed and Kenny Stills and all of those brothers for still playing in the league. Right. And protesting. Right. So if it's okay for them to be in the league, why is it wrong for Jay-Z to work with the league? What is the difference? Like it's literally the most logically inconsistent shit in the world to me. Now, if everybody wants to be on some fuck NFL shit, but we just say fuck the NFL, wear boycottin', they did Colin dirty, we not gonna watch it no more until he gets a job. To me, that's a whole different boycottin' than what the takin' in these stood for. Right. I'm sorry. Waxes. Waxes. Now you're distracted by chickens? No. Come on, white man. Waxes. Waxes is the most calm person that I've ever met. Why? He opened a Chick-fil-A bag and noticed that there was less Chick-fil-A than there should've been in there. And he was having the fuckin'... He always put on his baseball gloves. He was like, somebody need to get fucked up with this. I thought about that. I thought about that when I opened mine. Somebody ate out of the top of every single fry. Taylor? No? I didn't get it. I think it was DoorDash. The DoorDash guy. Why'd you do that though? Yeah, they ate, I could tell, they ate out of the top of every single fry. Really? I can absolutely tell. Who I gotta cash out? Ah, that's Pages. Don't worry about it, that's reparations. Love you so much. You don't owe her anything. Love Pages, but love. Listen. Listen. But if you don't... What if Black people never had to pay for chicken for the rest of your lives? That's not worth it. No, and it would need to be non-GMO chicken. It's organic and then it's on the table. It needs to be more organic. I want something else. That's what I think the KFC beyond chicken meat is bullshit. Well, the idea with that is eventually we won't be eating animals. It's bullshit. You can't tell people you don't want them to eat genetically modified shit and then give them something genetically modified. Oh no, I thought it's plant-based. Chickens aren't made of plants. Chickens are not growing out of the ground. You don't plant seeds and grow chickens. I can see how passionate you are about this chicken project. I'm just saying. Son, this is shocking. So you don't think this chicken is genetically modified? They're making this shit. Hey, you don't have to raise your voice, bro. Vegan what? This guy's getting real upset about chicken. Say what? Every time we try to talk about Colin Kaepernick. They're fucking chicken, man. We say chicken and we cry. Chicken been distracting us all goddamn week, man. Now you understand why the Epstein shit we not talking about it? You understand it. You understand it. What if Epstein hung himself? Can I ask you something? How you kill a chicken? What do you do to it? You pop his neck. What if Epstein... Let's go, man! What if Epstein hung himself? Because he knew where this chicken conversation was going and he didn't want to be a part of it the same way. I don't want to be a part of it now. I'm sick of it. No, he hung himself because... Well, he was obviously killed, but he was killed and then covered up with this chicken. That's all you... It's just one chicken sandwich, bro. It's one chicken sandwich. And I'll be honest with you, you guys shouldn't have fell for the chicken sandwich because if you didn't fall for the chicken sandwich, you would have got something even better. What? Maybe a whole chicken. Maybe... It was going to be another chicken... America fell for the chicken sandwich, bro. America fell, but we fell for the first offer. We should have said no deal and then see what you really come back with. They could have reinvented it. Who was the first person to say this chicken sandwich was so fire? Let's think about that. Why don't we think about that? Yeah, like, who was the first... Like, when did this chicken... Who got the most to lose with Epstein? Who got the most to lose with Epstein? Who got the most to lose with Epstein? Clinton the Trump. I wonder who... I wonder... I wonder who... was talking about this pap hack... chicken sandwich. You seen the fat lady? You know, Alex showed me this video of this fat chick talking about how she spends all her money on food. Did you see this one? I'm blaming it on Trump. I blame it on social media. The reason I blame it on Trump is because Trump loves fast food. So if there's anybody who would come up with this fast food, this fast food scheme to distract us, it will be Donald Trump. Michelle Obama would never... Michelle Obama might be cooking the chicken. She's so fast. Yo, yeah. Whatever. You don't think so? No. What? She was all about health. Yeah, she wanted to work out and all that kind of shit. Chichi didn't want the papaya chicken sandwich, bro. You haven't? Nope. You didn't? You tried to buy it the other day when we bought it. I didn't buy it. My wife told me no. My wife told me I couldn't have it. Oh. Your mind is telling you no. I'm cool. But your body... I'm cool. Is telling me yes. But back to our first point that y'all keep getting on topic about... about Kaepernick. Oh. And how... You know if you spell Kaepernick backwards as chicken? I always thought that. No, I was going to say that. It's kind of like with Kim Kardashian and her like freeing people, like that whole TV show she's doing and social media justice thing. And it's just like, we feel like Kim Kardashian appropriates black culture, but now she's out here freeing people. How do we feel about that? Like, I personally... I don't know who you want to say. You should be happy. No, no, I am happy now. Yeah. But at first it was just like, well, why is she doing this? She's just doing it. Like, I was like one of the... We questioned people's motives for why they do things all the time. Exactly. Which is for the way to be. Nothing wrong with questioning. Nothing wrong with questioning, but don't question yourself out of success. Nothing wrong with questioning because it needs to get done. No, but I'm happy she's doing it because it needs to get done. So by all means, if she's the one who has to do it, then she has to do it. And that's how I feel about Jay-Z, too. Like, if Jay-Z has the strength to sit in the room and do that and be like the new changer, then fucking thank God for doing it. What's the problem? There's no problem. Like, there should be no problem. And by the way, you got to give things a beat. Right? Give it a moment. Let's revisit this conversation in a year. Two years. There's no need to jump to an immediate reaction and be like, he's a sellout. He took the money and ran. Like... What happened? Somebody ate your food? Damn, son. My last comment is that Raspidie album is amazing. I tried to tell you. Hold on. Yo. Hey, once again. Chickens, by the way. By the way. Chickens. That's a white person. That's a sellout. Chickens are a sellout, bro. Payton's a real white sellout, bro. You can get distracted about chicken the whole podcast. Maybe that was my whole plan with y'all. Yeah, right. Your food is gone? Oh, waxed-aid does. I ate them. I waxed-aid them because there was... What's her name? Who? Nyla. Nyla? Yeah. I'm snitching. Did Nyla eat your fries? What did you get? Just fries. All you got was fries? Yo, you gotta stop getting bullied, man. That's what that white guilt does to you, Paige. You gotta stand up for yourself. No. You know what I mean? You gotta stand up for yourself. Look at her sitting there salty like a cracker. By the way. My mother fucking fries. Nobody's gonna take a white person getting mad over chicken serious. All right? I... Yo, what's that? She... She... She's not to cry, son. Oh, you know what? I'll take that back. It's not chicken, it's potatoes. Irish. Yo. Her last name was O'Donnell. O'Donnell. It's the potatoes. Come on, y'all, don't fuck it. That's Irish. That's white people's chicken. It's potatoes. It's potatoes. White people's chicken is potatoes. White people's chicken is potatoes. You can't be taken on potatoes. By the way, and those were fried potatoes because they were french fries. Yeah. That's white people's chicken. White people's fried chicken. White people's fried chicken is french fries. Fried fucking potatoes. That's what the fucking is. Mother fucking Irish, goddammit. She lost her fucking mind over them fried potatoes just now. It wasn't that big a deal when you're eating the chicken, but when you went for the taters, that was too far. It was too damn far. That's something I'll take a knee for, gentlemen. They just quit off a half a fucking potato. They just quit off some fried potatoes, man. You must not know how serious Irish people take their goddamn potatoes, bro. Okay? Son. That's their livelihood, goddammit. That's their livelihood, bro. They stopped making potatoes. There was a potato famine, and they all starved to death. Really? Yeah, and the craziest thing about it is Dennis Leary had a joke about it. He goes, they starved to death, and they live on an island. It's just like fish. Just put a rod in the water, and you can easily feed yourself. But they were so in love with potatoes that that was the only thing that they would eat. That's crazy, because Irish people ain't really chunky like that. Say what? You wouldn't think potatoes put a lot of weight on you. No. Potatoes are from the earth, bro. Who'd you say is a little chunky, Taylor? Don't do that. Don't do that. What? I say page. I said some Irish people are chunky. Yo, are you saying pages? That? Wow. Yo, that's fucked up, bro. How are you going to take her French fries? I didn't take her French fries. That's why you took her fries? I took one. You did take one. You took her fries? Did you get too chunky? Damn. Did you get too chunky? Yo, this is crazy. Why are girls so mean to each other, bro? Why y'all body shame each other so much? You didn't? I didn't. What? Okay. Okay. Damn, bro. Yo, let's talk about Colin Chicken. Is it Colin? I think it's going to be hard. What? Let's talk about Colin. Colin Chicken. With all this chicken going around. Colin Chicken. My point is simple. I just think it's very logically, my point is simple. I just think it's very logically inconsistent for people to be mad at Jay-Z working for the NFL when we have people actively working in the NFL. Like, there was no black people working in the NFL and black people were boycotting NFL together all together meaning no players were playing, no black people were watching. I would totally understand. Question. Are there any black-owned fast food restaurants, chicken related? I mean this sincerely. I mean people that own Popeyes? Is black people that own Popeyes? Popeyes is black-owned? Not the founders of it, but there are Popeyes franchises. No, no, I'm talking about... owned by black people. In fact... The source. The one that does the best that grosses the most in the world is owned by a black man. That's great. But I'm talking about owning the source. We talk about black business and supporting black business and all that kind of stuff. It's like, well, why don't you just support the businesses that you already support the most? It's like, if y'all love chicken so much, you love chicken sandwiches, why don't you just start a fast food chain? Like, I know that Rick Ross owns a few wing stops, but does he own wingstop? No. That's what y'all need to get into. If you already know that you like chicken sandwiches, start the chicken sandwich business. Everybody likes chicken sandwiches. I don't know... Listen, I said this before because somebody said to me earlier this week, they were like, well, Popeye's is doing his cultural appropriation. That was one of my points earlier that I lost. So if you hear me say, I forgot the fuck I was gonna say, this is the second part of it that I just remembered. Somebody said... Yeah. Popeye's is cultural appropriation. I'm like, why is it cultural appropriation? Like, chicken is not something that's just regulated to black people. And by the way, if you think it's cultural appropriation, you can't get mad whenever somebody uses it as a stereotype against us then. Oh, that stereotype is solidified now. That's in the books. Watermelon is still up in the air. We don't know. Until Chick-fil-A comes out with that watermelon milkshake next summer and takes back their fucking crown. Watermelon lemonade? Watermelon lemonade could be fire. If you drop watermelon lemonade... Watermelon lemonade could be fire. You don't like watermelon at all. Is that a Philadelphia thing? No. I just don't like the fruit. I'll have like... Got you, got you, got you. I'm not a fan of watermelon lemonade. Have you ever had a peach milkshake from Chick-fil-A? No, I have not. Peach milkshakes from Chick-fil-A are amazing. It's one of the few things I will risk being lactose intolerant. One of the few times I'll put dairy in my body. Take your shots. It makes me shake out. It makes me shit crazy. Worth it. It's worth it for that peach milkshake from Chick-fil-A. Vale la pena. That's the saying in Spanish. Imagine somebody makes a watermelon milkshake. This is the problem is you're gonna come up with these ideas that are billion-dollar ideas and you're not gonna get the revenue from it. How do you not already have a trademark? And I'm just throwing it out there so somebody... Breaks that trademark and then you gotta collect that money. And I'll just wait a year and be like, yo, by the way... Oh, shit. Oh, shit. By the way, why are you out here drinking your little green and red milkshake? Okay. That tastes like watermelon. All right? That's me. All right? You don't believe it? Look it up in the books. And you'll see a black man with a big, old smile. In a watermelon. In a... In a... That's Mickey. All right? I'm sick of this shit. What? God, it must be so much fun to have cultural foods, man. I have no cultural food. Chicken is not a cultural food. Let me ask you a question. America likes chickens. Let me ask you a question. Right? Why do you just call them hens? That's all. Wait a minute. Is that what black people mean when they're like, let's throw them hens? No. Let's throw them hens. Throwing a bunch of raw, fucking rotisserie chickens at each other. So y'all love chickens so much that you fight with chickens? Let's throw them hens. Damn. Y'all hear throwing hens? Hennessy. Hennessy. Oh, my. Hennessy, the chicken of cognacs. I did not know. I did not know this. Shut up, man. I did not know. I'm still learning, bro. No. Listen. Listen. I did not know. Dude, I did not know, Charlemagne. I did not know, bro. Y'all call chickens hens, right? I don't know that. You never heard the term hen? I've heard of a Cornish game hen. Boom. That's like a baby chicken. Boom. Everybody loves chicken. I heard that black people don't like the baby chickens, though. I don't know what baby chickens look like. It's a Cornish game hen. I think it's just a smaller chicken. It's like a baby chicken. Chicks. Huh? Huh? Yup. Filly got chicken peats. Yeah. It's really good, actually. But there's no chicken. What the chicken peats is chicken? No, it's like some more seafood in it. The logo is a chicken, Taylor. I never had chicken over there. Chicken peat is a chicken spot. It's your chicken and french fry. Hold on, man. There's this place named Chicken Peats. And did you just try to say that it sells mostly seafood? Yeah, we do. Wow. So you're saying black people love chicken so much they're naming their seafood restaurants after chicken? Okay, that's my fault. I never had chicken over there. It's called Chikis and Peats. Right? Oh, she's right. Ha! What? It is. Delicious seafood and pub grove. Oh! And crab fries. It's Chikis and Peats. Chiki and Peats. I'm sorry, Taylor. I apologize. I'm sorry. One time you actually said they're smart on the podcast. We apologize. Finally. Dude, I'm like blown away by this whole chicken conversation, man. I'm learning a lot. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm over it. Yeah. I think it is. Is there anything else that you'd like to bring up about chickens while we're on the topic just while we're here? Do you guys? It's Labor Day weekend. This weekend? Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people will be growing. Yeah. Burgers. Hot dogs. Yeah. Chicken. Chicken. I'm sure. You know, now, I'm just throwing this out there. It doesn't necessarily have to be factual or true. But like, when you imagine like a white girl saying something in like a porno, right? Like, when she's talking to a black guy, like what does she say? What is the line that comes to you? Give me that big black cock. I'm sorry, that what? Big black cock. Because everybody loves chicken. Duh. White women love chicken so much that they call dicks cocks. White women are the only people in America who call penises cocks. I think they only call that around black people. Well, you gotta have a certain size dick to have a cock. Is it bigger or smaller? Bigger. Yeah. Really? You wouldn't call a little piece of meat a cock. You know what I'm saying? So big dicks are cocks. Cocks. Let's do Ask the Idiot, Taylor. Christopher Wallace says, what is, what change, what has changed most about the entertainment industry for better and worse since you started? What has changed most about the industry since I started? Mm-hmm. I mean, it's completely falling apart. It's, it's like, when I started in entertainment, there was, you know, television was the only outlet. I mean, obviously radio as well, but like television was the only, you know, real outlet for video. And it was a closed circuit. It was like owning a basketball team. You know, it's like, if you weren't on one of the teams, you couldn't play in the NBA. Simple as that. It didn't matter if you like playing basketball. They had to allow you to play on it. And then the internet comes out and then you basically can have your own team. You create your own team and you play against everybody else. And, you know, that's, that's really what we've learned is that like creatives are more valuable than executives. Because what me, Alex, and Mark did with my special, in a day, I think it got like 350,000, 325,000 or something views in a day. Like that's triple what a Comedy Central special gets in a day. Creatives are more important than executives now simply because creatives don't have to wait on executives to create. That's it. But we were always the powerful source. They just were holding court because they had a key. Absolutely. So we need to add, like, sir, can I have the keys so I can go in and make some shit? And they're like, I don't know if we want, but now we don't have to. So the whole thing is falling apart and then I would say that we have a very interesting next five years in entertainment. I think what's happening now is the streaming wars are about to begin. So all... Ain't no war, babe. Say what? Ain't no war, babe. There will be wars. Ain't no war, babe. Okay, maybe no war, but whatever. I'm gonna tell you we got the nuke. Yeah, Disney, obviously. Disney Plus got the nuke. Without a doubt. But it's like, you're gonna have Disney, NBC Universal, Netflix, Warner, which is also the HBO one. And I think there might be one other one. I mean, Hulu is part of Disney. Time Warner, HBO will prosper. Yup. Because they got catalog. And they also last to the market. So they're gonna wait to see what everybody does wrong and what everyone does right. And then they're going to replicate that. And they'll probably have some new advancements. And they also have shows that we're already into. Catalog. Also catalog. Not gonna lie. Catalog is what is going... Catalog is what... You gotta look at catalog. But catalog doesn't get you to sign up. New shit gets you to sign up. Catalog satisfies you while you're signed up. Exactly. Yeah. They're gonna kill because they got all of these new shows they're announcing. All the Marvel shit. I'm in. As a Marvel head, I'm in. Now think about it like this. Think about all the money Marvel movies make. Billions of dollars. Correct. Everybody that's a Marvel head is going to sign up for Disney Plus. Then you're gonna have the catalog of all the Disney shows. And I think they got Hulu if I'm not mistaken. And Fox and all that. Like you got catalog, catalog, catalog. Disney... They're gonna shut everything down in the long run. Time Warner, HBO. Depends on what else they bring to the table. They should kill just based off catalog. Sopranos, the wire. You're also forgetting. True blood. So Warner includes... CNN. What else? Turner. Turner, yeah. What does Turner have? Sports. There we go. That is the game changer in streaming. When Disney, which own GSPN, said they're coming out, I'm like, oh, you're good. We can watch games. I gotta have that one because Netflix, you all ain't got shit. Disney got Disney in. It's too much that there's no organization. But Disney, I could watch my sports center if I want. I could watch my basketball if I want. I could watch my football if I want. I'm golden. And when Warner came out and I was like, ooh, they got HBO, that's good. And then I realized they had Turner. I was like, wait a minute, I could watch Inside the NBA on TNT, on a streaming service. Let's go. I agree with you, but the only reason, like for me, Turner is seasonal when it comes to sports. I don't watch baseball. You know what I'm saying? I watch Inside the NBA. I don't go to them for nothing else. The ESPN is 24-7, 365, even when it's the off-season and ain't shit else on. But check it. Your cable package and my cable package right now already over $100. If we get the Disney package for $14 and the Warner package for $10, that's $24 for all the shit I want to see. I just saved $75. I'm cool with that. Yo, you give me Disney. You give me Netflix. You give me Warner. I'm good. So the next five years, you have the streaming battles where the dust settles will see where everybody is, right? And then after that... It'll be three left standing just like in network TV. Boom. So three left standing and then after that, someone's going to come along and bundle all those three and we're right back where we were in the first place at cable. We'll take a big check to bundle all those three things. Yeah, but checks are out there. There's always checks. Yeah, I don't know who can buy it. Disney, Time Warner... It's not about buy. What they'll do is offer, right? So it's like Time Warner offered all these channels. They didn't own ESPN. They didn't own Disney. They just offered the channels. So when I get a Time Warner spectrum thing, I get NBC, but I also get HBO. I get these things. They're just saying here you go. Why not? That's going to change. All this... I wonder how Time Warner Cable is going to change now. Oh, Time Warner Cable is just going to be about Internet, right? They're just like, hey, we provide you with the Internet so you can get this other shit. They've shifted their business plan. So all they want to do is going to be the provider because if you want to get Disney Plus and you don't want to get Time Warner shit, they don't care because you still got to pay Time Warner to get the cable to get to Disney. So what's going to happen over the next five years is going to be really interesting. Um... Hey, Ted, open up your phone. Yeah, I think the industry is just going to continue to get better simply because nobody has to wait on no fucking body. This is a good one. Shotes's rise in unsafe comedy may have given credence to a goat like Dave Chappelle to be flagrant again. But my question is, what other comedy goats do you see returning with this energy? Do you think Eddie will be raw again? Will Lewis get a special because of it? I don't think Chappelle was ever flagrant in his stand-up, though. I think he was more flagrant on the sketch show. No, he was flagrant. How old is 15 really? Was one of his most popular jokes. I mean, he was... He had flagrancy, but he was always more cartoonish. Like what Chappelle would do is, like, devise a kind of cartoon or a sketch, if you will, to execute a serious joke. Like, when he was talking about the hood and he was talking about, I saw a baby selling weed on a corner or something like that. Remember? And that's his way of going, hey, this is the reality of the hood, but I'm going to make it kind of fun and silly so that you can take in the message of it, right? So now I think this is the first time we're seeing Chappelle say, literally, how he feels about things that are going on instead of devising, like, a cartoonish story arc around it. Well, no, he still has the cartoonish story arc. It just, like I said earlier, it just comes... It just sounds like it's personal. It seems... Because these things are things that seem like they really happen to him in his real life. They're real instead of... In the past, it might be like, these are fabricated bits to say a real point. Yeah. That's all I see, Taylor. Do one more. What? There is no more, Taylor Gang. Taylor, there are no more. Guys, I'm going on vacation. It's Labor Day weekend. I hope y'all enjoyed this week's of the Brewing Nittiest podcast. Slightitis. Slightitis. Because of Chick-fil-A, I was hungry. I was starving. I hadn't ate all day. I didn't know that it was going to hit me this hard. But it has. And I think now it's time to say goodbye. Yo, thank y'all so much, man. Go check out the special. I appreciate it. YouTube.com slash The Andrew Schultz. And check out Dave's as well, man. It's a great time for comedy. This is exactly what we want to happen. This is exactly what we've been speaking about on this podcast on Flakern 2 about, you know, just letting jokes go and not holding back and not being pussies and saying what you feel and understanding it's comedy. And we should be able to say that. So it's a great time for comedy, man. And go check out those specials. Word. As always, if you've listed this podcast, you think we're smart. You think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant. Absolutely right. If you've listed this podcast, you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit. You're right, too. It's the Brewing Nittiest podcast. Now listen, it is Labor Day weekend. And I know you may be sitting around binge-watching your favorite TV shows because you're hearing us talking about all these screaming services and you want to see what a lot of the hype is about behind some of these, even though a couple of them aren't even launched yet, but you'll probably be watching something on Netflix. I know I got a bunch of shows to catch up on on Netflix. But just remember, whatever you do is always better with a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Okay? Now you heard Andrew Schultz say he liked the chocolate fudge brownie. All right? Some people like the cookie, though. If I had to choose between one, if I had to take a chance on my lactose intolerance, it would be the cookie, though. All right? But I want you to cozy up with your favorite flavor, wherever that may be. If it's available anywhere, ice cream is sold. I'll find a new favorite at Ben & Jerry.com. That's B-E-N-J-E-R-R-Y.com. Is there... I remember once when we were... we were in the... what the fuck? We were down south. Do you remember this? Mm-mm. It was your wedding weekend. Oh, you're talking about fucking... Kaminsky's. Downtown Charleston. We went... The brownies and ice cream. That's right. We went to Downtown Charleston. And I remember that we had... you were like, chocolate chicken fudge... Shut the fuck up. That never happened. No, your chocolate chicken fudge brownie ice cream, dude. And it was... I was like, I can't believe this can't be real. And, dude, it was... there were feathers coming out of it. It was one of the weirdest... The chocolate chicken was fire. Bro, the chocolate chicken fudge... brownie ice cream. And at Kaminsky's, that was it. That was it. That was it. And, bro, it was... it was amazing to see you guys eating that thing, Mel. It was... It was delicious. Dude, fucking chicken fingers sticking out the side to the ice cream. Chocolate covered chicken feet. Man. Dude, it was another thing. Amazing. But I got it. It makes sense. Anyway, guys, love y'all. You knew it, right, dad? You knew it was coming out.
