He's fucking the business line been kicking my ass. Now let's start this show. How long you got to do the Invisalign? I don't know, man. I think you're about to tap out, huh? I think I'm about to tap out. I don't care, bro. I'm ready to just get the veneers. Everybody else got the big fake joints? Yeah, why not just get the veneers? Well, I couldn't get the veneers because I had a tooth in the back that was crooked. Yeah. And she tried to scrape that, so she just ended up pulling it. So now I just got the veneers on to scrape that out. And then, I mean, the Invisalign is scraping that out. Then she's going to add the veneers in later. Oh, so you have to do this in order to get the veneers? Yes. Yeah. So that's why I'm mad with it. Steve Harvey. Did you see that clip that was going around? He's not a business, man. He's a business, man. Did you see that clip with the cars? Oh, that we said, why do I buy all these cars? I think that was on our new lease, wasn't it? Maybe. I don't remember. He was like, why do I buy all these cars? I didn't watch it. I saw the headline. He said something about why do I buy all these nice cars? Because if I go broke, like they'd be nice to sleep in or something like that? Oh, yeah, I didn't watch that. Yeah. Because I'm not in the cars. Yeah. You know how people say they're not in the cars? Because you know, when you don't have no money, like you see a phantom go by, a Bentley go by, and you be like, I don't want that. Yeah. I never buy that. But you can't afford it. You know how you know you really don't give a fuck about that shit? Why? When you can afford it. And you don't care? And still don't give a fuck about it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Let me hear the clip. I never heard this. I watched this interview, too. And I don't remember this part. Oh, my. People ask me all the time, man, why you buy such expensive cars? Cars? If this all go away one day, and I got to go back to living in a car? A laryst. It's going to be a. That's going to be nice. Phantom. I'm being a phantom in the backseat of a phantom. You want to sleep in the side of the road? Stretched home with a refrigerator in there. I got lights in the ceiling. That's what I'm going to be home to see. You think people forget Steve Harvey's comedians? No. Too legendary. Too legendary. Dude, the kings of comedy was so legendary. Classic. Maybe the youth that never ended up seeing it. It's possible. How was your week? How was my week? I don't know. Uneventful. Uneventful? Yeah. Same. I'll just celebrate his birthday. I saw him, man. He had a dress on on Instagram. No, I didn't. That was a dress. No, I didn't. What was it? That was me at Burning Man. But it was still a dress. It wasn't a dress. It was actually a skirt. I mean, you got to get it right, Charlotte. Come on, boy. Sequence. It looked good, though. What do you think about that? Do you think that men will be more, will embrace the cross-dressing a little bit more? I think they already have. There's no more gender. There's no more anything. Oh, my God. What? I guess, man. There's still gender. If there's no gender, why do we have pronouns? I have no idea. I don't understand any of this shit. Ayanna Lavonzant was on a breakfast club, and she gave the best answer. What she said? She said, I don't understand any of it. So I don't speak on it. And that's how I feel, unless I just feel like something's totally unfair. Like, we had the, what happened? You saw the school in Vermont, right? What happened? The Vermont High School, the girls' high school team boycotted a game with a trans player, and they got banned from tournaments. Like, I'm reading it now. A Vermont school that refused to play against an opposing basketball team with a trans player won't be able to participate in future tournaments. The Vermont Principles Association announced on Monday, Mid-Vermont Christian School for the game on February 21, and an out-of-state tournament against Long Trail School. We withdrew from the tournament because we believe playing against an opponent with a biological, playing with a, playing an opponent with a biological male jeopardizes the fairness of the game and the safety of our players. That is what the head of the school, Vicky Fogg, said in a statement obtained by The Guardian. Yo, my, I don't know who this guy was. And my bad, I'm not remembering what your name is, but there's a comic that had a joke about, he goes, I'm okay with trans women competing in women's sports. As long as I could bet on it. That shit was fire. That is hilarious. Bro, and that literally will be what changes everything. Yeah. Because once you can gamble on it, and we know who's gonna win every single time, what I think is that the betting agencies will say you can't bet on it. And once you can't bet on the sports, they'll stop sponsoring these huge events. And when they stop sponsoring these huge events, the events will start to go, well, we need that sponsorship money, it's gotta come from somebody. And then they'll say, sorry, you can no longer compete because we don't have this money coming in. It hasn't hit the pockets just yet. Once it hits the pockets, everybody gets settled. That's gonna change everything because clearly listening to women isn't. Ooh, what does that mean? That means that they tell us to listen to women in regards to everything else. What would you rather do? Watch women's sports or listen to women? I like watching women's sports. I love women's basketball. All right, well, that's the answer to the question. It's not like I was trying to be sexist or anything like that. That's a perfect answer. You're the question right there. You answered it perfectly. I just gave you an ultimatum. I like doing both. Gun to your head, listen to a woman or watch them play sports. Listen to a woman. And when I say sports, I'm not talking about like porn. I'm talking about like basketball, golf. You know what I mean? Listen to a woman. But it has nothing to do with the sports. It's the fact that if I had to choose when I'm going to choose listening to women because listening to women has gotten me very far in life. Yes, it has. Yes, listening to women has gotten me very far. 100%. So I would definitely listen to women. What's the best advice you ever got from a woman? Honestly, the best advice I ever got from a woman was listen more, listen more, talk less. Ooh. Listen, listen, listen more, talk less. And I mean, it depends what woman you talk about. Like my mom of course gave me great advice, one of the things that she told me when I was young, read things that don't pertain to you. I remember a woman named Darcy Alexander telling me something that stuck with me. Once I had kids, she was talking to me about relationships. And she was telling me about, like, you know, we're talking about our significant others. And she was like, you think you love your girlfriend now. You'll really know if you love her once you have kids. Because when you have kids, you experience love on like the purest level. And if you love your significant other like that, then that's really, really love. And I feel that way. I love my wife the way I love my daughters, you know what I mean? So I mean, I've gotten too much good advice from women over the years. But I was saying like with this, what you said is probably the answer. Would you like to know my best advice I ever got from a woman? What's the best advice you got from a woman? I remember, God, I think I was like 26 years old. And this girl, this girl said to me, I gotta get the phrasing right. Oh, she said, wrong hole. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that was good advice that I got. Great advice. Yeah. Great advice. Yeah, because I could have had a dick full of shit. There you go. Yes. Yes. But then I did it. Instead you gave her a vagina full of dick. Woo. And you got it. And you got it nut. Damn. Dude, that was fire. The way you flipped that, there were so many things you could have got wrong. You're a master of the English language right there. That was incredible. Shout out Larson Pippin though. But salute all the women. No, I'm just saying salute all the women though because nobody's clearly listening to women. They need to listen to women though. When women say this isn't fair. It isn't fair. They know. When women say it's not fair for them to go against people who were born biologically male. They tell us to listen to women in regard to everything else. Yeah. But when it comes to them saying this isn't fair, we all gotta shut the fuck up. 100%. That makes zero sense to me. And I think that Vermont team is absolutely right. If they're saying that allowing biological males to participate in women's sports, that's a bad precedent for the future of women's sports in general. If they're saying it's not fair, if they're saying it's not safe, who are we to tell them otherwise? You know what's funny? It's like anytime I talk to anybody trans about this issue, they're like, this is the least of our concern. I agree. Like every trans person I talk about this, they're like playing sports is the least of our concern. We're trying to not get killed for no reason. We're trying to not get beat up in the streets for no reason. We're trying to make sure that we can get like apartments and like the building won't stop us from being able to live there. But being able to play volleyball in middle school or high school, wherever the hell it happens or college is not our number one or our list of priorities. I get it. It's gonna be interesting when this translates to other areas though. Like, you know, it goes into corporate America and you have executives who have to, you know, check off boxes and, you know, put women in these C-sweets. And they were like, they check off the box by putting, you know, just men saying, hey, I identify as a woman, you know what I mean? I mean, I would do that. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I can see people being that devious, you know, especially in corporate America. Like, I did that and I think El Salvador are in a divorce. Really? Yeah, he's like, I identify as a woman so I could get my kids. No. And he got the kids. And he got the kids. No. 100%. 100%. You can't take kids away from their mother. That's what I'm saying. That's what's gonna happen when it gets to like that corporate American stuff, that's when people gonna start being like, Joe, did Trump get arrested? We're recording this on to Tuesday. Did he get arrested yet or not? Trump's not getting arrested, guys. Come on. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. He's not getting arrested, guys. Don't do this. Somebody go find the video where I said these exact words to Charlemagne and you were saying he's getting arrested. I'll bet any amount of money. I said this three years ago. I put it like this. Hold on. If they indict a former president, it's not gonna be for these charges. These charges are weak as fuck, bro. Hold on. But you did say that he was gonna get arrested and I was like, they won't arrest a former president. Yeah. I think I did shoot that. Yeah. I think I agree with you. I don't see it happening, bro. This man, I can't change my mind. So, yo, you said it with so much conviction, though. I believed in the checks and balances. I believed that nobody is above the law. Teflon Don has proven me wrong until further notice. And I still don't think that they'll do it. I don't think they'll do it either. If you got, he's got all of these federal charges he's facing, right, Merrick Garland. We already know the classified documents, you might as well throw that out. They didn't got caught. Everybody was classified documents. That's out the window. I thought it was some taxes in New York that they wanted to catch them on. That's still open. That's still open? Yeah, they're still investigating now. I didn't see that. But every one of these rich motherfuckers breaks the law with taxes. But basically, they're saying that this small thing is just to hold them, and then there's going to be a bunch of other charges everywhere. They're saying this shit is a misdemeanor. No, I know. This is just like. What they're saying is, Trump, don't run for president. Yeah. That's what they're saying. And he not getting the message. So why make him bigger? You know what this shit is, man? You remember in the end game when Thanos got hit in the chest? And he's like, you should have went for the head. If it's not a headshot, don't do it. So rumor is, is that a bunch of charges are going to start dropping from everywhere around the country. They said New York, Georgia, and the federal charges. That's only five. I heard five solid ones. That's a lot. Not really, because this shit is a misdemeanor. You only need more than this to arrest a president. Yes. And they're talking about indicting him, but not handcuffing him. Yo, all you're doing is making him bigger. I guarantee you over the last couple of days, all you've seen is so many donations going to Trump's shit. I mean, that is 100% right. If you arrest him and he gets off, he's president guaranteed. They say this is a misdemeanor. They say this right here in New York is already a guaranteed misdemeanor. And I'm going to tell you what else is fucked up about it. Guaranteed misdemeanor? Yes. Like it won't be a felony. They would say it won't be a felony. But I'm saying even putting him through this process is going to be enough to galvanize every person who is anti-establishment, because this is abuse of power from the establishment. Already happening, man. People that I've talked to, somebody sent me this. It's not a piece of power. You don't think? No, I mean, he actually did these crimes. It's just usually in the past. They don't know if this is a crime, though. No, it is, though. They don't know if this is a crime, because they said that somebody sent me this yesterday. It was like, this isn't like one of the mobsters with tax evasion. It's more like one of the mobsters stealing a cart and a cigarette when he was on the come up. No, so the DA never really charges people unless they know they can win. Like their success rate is crazy high. So they've been investigating this one for so long. They threw it out, though. No, but this is just they used campaign funds to pay off Stormy Daniels allegedly. Exactly, they can't prove if it was actually campaign funds. If the lawyer starts talking, they can. I don't think that's going to happen. So here, now it's all contingent on the lawyer, so they're going to try to put as much pressure as they possibly can. But eventually it's going to seem like, I don't know. By the way, we don't even know if the DA really wants to press charges. Well, that's the thing. This came from Trump. Trump put this out there. Oh, that's interesting. The team said we haven't heard from the DAs all of this. Trump put this out there. Wait a minute. So Trump, oh wow, he has to be looked at as the victim. He has to be looked at as the underdog. So he's putting this information out. So people come to his aid and his support. They're afraid of me. They don't want me to run. Look at this. They're trying to arrest me, they're trying to lock me up because they know that I can win. He was cold in these streets. Everybody was on DeSantis. He wasn't, no, he didn't know they weren't. Not everybody was on DeSantis. GOP primary polls got Trump winning by a landslide. I don't know why we keep saying this. I keep telling, how you sleep on your boy? Let me, let me, let me clarify. Let me resay what I'm saying. Yes, I believe he does win the primary, but the energy in the Republican party was towards DeSantis. It seemed like the Republican party wanted DeSantis to win. That big guy who owns Citadel, what's his name? It's the hedge fund Citadel. I looked that up real quick. Ken Griffin. Ken Griffin. I think Ken Griffin, he actually supported Trump originally and he switched his legions, I think, to DeSantis. A lot of big donors going to DeSantis. So this is the first big push I've seen in the Trump direction in a while. And he made it happen himself. Trump still was making reasonable money in DeSantis, reasonable money in all of them. And here's the thing. Why do we not act like the Republicans aren't the biggest dick riding party in the world? Yeah, they gonna get in line. They gonna get in line. Yeah, but the hedgernaut, that's though. That's what they always do. We've seen this movie before. But they did this shit the first term with they put everything in Jeb's coffin. Yeah. And then- Trump caught fire. He did. That's right. That's the thing about this, yeah, man. I wonder, I genuinely don't think that people want to deal with the chaos that comes with Trump. I think people enjoy this kind of malaise that we're living in right now where like, you don't have to worry about spy balloons. A lot of people, if there's global economic collapse, nobody's really caring about it. Like, there's all these crazy things that are happening and then people just aren't really caring. That is wild. And it's very simple. You have a president that doesn't talk about anything and now you have nothing to rage against. Anytime Biden does talk or mumble, he doesn't say anything coherent enough where like you can rage against it. With Trump, everything that he said became the polarizing issue of the week. Trump made everybody pay attention. Exactly. Nobody's paying attention to really the news. We don't want to pay attention. Yeah, yeah. We actually don't as human beings. Everybody's really enjoying this time right now and I don't know if they want to be re-engaged. That's why they say ignorance is bliss. That is exactly what's happening. No, you're right, you're right, you're right. It's interesting though, man, I don't think, I don't know if he goes to jail or not, but I don't think he gets indicted for this shit right here. Like this shit. There's gotta be something bigger. There's gotta be something bigger. And I'm gonna tell you, he can spend, he's already spending this to his advantage. Why? Because Alvin Bragg is black. Who's that? Alvin Bragg is a DA in New York. So when you kid... I thought it was a girl. No, he's a black man. Alvin Bragg. He was fairly new though. There's a black woman that was going after him too. That's his James. His James is the attorney general. Oh, that's the attorney general. Alvin Bragg is a DA. So, but both of them, his James was pushing Alvin Bragg to press these charges. All you gotta, it's just the optics. This is wokeness. All his followers gotta do, go look at his campaign ads right now. Who's facing them campaign ads? Alvin fucking Bragg. Got them guys speeding down the turnpike trying to get to New York on 26 from the country, coming from Long Island everywhere. We gotta go defend our guy. That, the optics of that, wokeness. Black man, black woman. People don't care about that woke shit anymore, bro. Yes, they do. He's using the term. Yes. He's using the term from the woke. He's late, bro. He's antiquated. It's over. Nobody cares about that shit no more. No, no, no, no. He's big. No, he's big. Because even the Santas is using the woke card. Like, all of them are using the woke card. They gotta get in the card, bro. That's what they label all liberals at. Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying they gotta figure something else out because the woke shit is kind of done. Like, the kids ain't woke anymore. Like, the youth youth, the youngsters out here. Like, the kids who are in college right now, they're rejecting the wokeness of the generation before them. So they're wild motherfuckers, saying all the crazy shit. Like, I think white people, well, not white people, but the Republican Party co-opted wokeness and did what they always do, which is flipping and bouncing and remix it. So it's not, it's not even cool. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So now you got liberals on TV denouncing wokeness because they know Republicans have already co-opted it. So they can't even use the phrase anymore. You know what I mean? I just don't see him getting indicted for this. I just don't. And if I was a big dog, if I'm a Barrett Garland or one of them, I'm telling the DA in New York to fall back. Fall back, man. Yeah, you're just heating them up. Fall back. Let's try to get some of these bigger charges that we probably actually can freaking get them on. But I don't see them in, I don't see them, I don't see them locking up a former president. I've been trying to tell you all this shit for a long fucking time, you know. No, you haven't actually. This is the first time you've ever said it. But it's good that you just said it right now and I almost believed you. It's truly remarkable what you're doing. It's just kind of wild. It's just like, yo, why, they've never arrested a former president, indicted a former president. Why would they own these charges? Yeah. Like these are, no. Well, they can't get them on the actual shit. I guess. I mean, Trump's probably. I'm telling you, they're gonna get them on this. It will be a misdemeanor. It won't be that serious. They're gonna get them on the tax thing. That might be serious because that's more federal. So that might actually prevent him from running. If anything, it's the stuff in Georgia. But even once again with that, it's a black woman DA. What's the Georgia shit? The Georgia is the, so I think it's the election tampering. Pull it, pull it up. When he was like calling them, tell him, yeah, I need you to find the votes. Yeah, he said it was a perfect call. You didn't see him today. Play Trump from the day, Taylor. You just had it up. You didn't hear him today? No, I wouldn't say that. Greatest stand up in the country. Yeah, he's so lovable. He's so lovable. If he wasn't fucking threatened a free world. If he was on your side? I want a bull worth. I've always said I want a bull worth style president. And Trump is definitely a bull worth style president. If you've never seen the movie Bull Worth, is this it? Oh, play the interesting man. Whether it's the Mar-a-Lago raid or the Unselect Committee hoax, the perfect Georgia phone call, it was absolutely perfect. Or the Stormy Horse Face Daniels extortion plot. They're all sick. Come on, man. It's fake news. Our enemies are desperate to stop us because they know that we are the only ones who can stop them and they know it very strongly. And they're looking at the polls where, not me, but we are up by so much. They can't even believe it. We won twice and now we've got to win a third time. They know that we can defeat them. They know that we will defeat them, but they're not coming after me. They're coming after you. I'm just standing in their way. And I always will stand in their way. Thank you very much. Are we exhausted of the, they're coming after you? Like be afraid every two seconds. It's been nice for a few years to not be afraid. But here's the thing. That has been the democratic, that has been the democratic playbook for years. And the democratic, and the fear. Both of them. Both, both. Public and democratic. Definitely both. But no one's afraid right now. It's kind of nice. We're not even afraid of global economic doom. We're not afraid of Chinese spy balloons. We're not afraid of anything. There's no fear. I'm not afraid because I'm not allowing myself to be afraid. But so many people are afraid of this economy. Yes. 100%. And their bank accounts. Yes. And inflation. Are they afraid of it? Yes they are. I definitely have some conversations about the bank thing with my financial people like, you sure? You know what I mean? That was scary. But like I'm looking at this article right now. Some Democrats fear arresting Trump could backfire a question screen for charges. Some Democrats fear that the potential charges facing former president Trump from the Manhattan DA are not up to the task and could backfire. This is an open and shut books and records, Mr. Meener. Yo, you know what's kind of funny? Now to elevate it to a felony is complicated. You remember all the Republicans that were like, yo, we can't give out these, what did they call? What were they called? Like bonuses and shit during the pandemic? Stimuluses. Stimuluses. We can't give out all these stemuluses. We can't print this money. We can't do this shit. We can't, it's bad for the economy. You can't do this. Where are they with all these people who are bailed out at their banks that failed? Like I want to know where the conservatives are who constantly criticize government interference. Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you. I want to know where they are right now when the government interfered and secured their deposits at the banks. I've yet to hear one of them speak out about how inefficient government is. Why would they have their stimulus? 100%. I just, I just, I think at some point we just need them to go, okay, you know, sometimes it is nice to have a government. Sometimes it is nice that the government has your back. Sometimes it is nice that the government interferes. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to pay more taxes. I don't want to pay less taxes. I'd love to, that'd be great. I get where they're coming from. But at the same time, it is nice to have the security of the government there to potentially protect you from certain circumstances like this. Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, they'll never let the economy totally fucking crash. Famous last words, my boy. Famous last words. Don't ask for it, don't ask for it now. This article says there are far more serious crimes. Trump should be held accountable for. And they say, this is the biggest thing. Bragg's investigation is just one of three Trump is currently facing and the charges that we're from it may be the easiest ones for Trump to defeat. A failed prosecution of the former president who opponents have long dreamed of locking up could only serve to bolster his common refrain that he is the victim of a witch hunt. That's true. Yeah. But also, how are you going to call a girl you paid to fuck horse face? That's one of the most audacious things I've ever seen in my entire life. That's hilarious, funny. You're insulting a girl not that you fucked, that you paid to fuck. Bro, Trump is different, bro. Imagine what he says about the girls that just fucked them. I thought he said he never fucked it up. No, he smashed. I thought he said he never smashed, but he just did it. He settled just to settle us some shit like that. No, I think he dicked down. The funniest shit was after Ron DeSantis made his comments. He called a meatball run. Man, Trump said, he basically, Trump told him, like, you know, let me hear it. This is it right here. He called a meatball run. No, you got to find Trump's tweet. Talking about this situation with, and like, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just, I can't speak to that. But what I can speak to is that, if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many, many years to go, he tried to use something about porn. Bro, Trump kind of, it wasn't the nuke, but remember that fucking bomb he sent that big bomb he just dropped in the desert one time? You don't remember that shit? When it was a time when Trump just dropped a big ass bomb in the desert. It wasn't a nuke, but it was some big ass bomb they never used before. That was this shit, yo. Mother of all bombs. Mother of all bombs. I thought that was some Russian shit. He dropped that shit in the desert. Hold on, let me see. Find the shit that Trump said, yo. Trump's response to DeSantis. About DeSantis and the underage girl. Find the shit. Not when he called him Rhonda Sanctimonius. No, no, this was last night, man. I thought Trump was rusty. He just got back on stage after a while. He did it? Uh, Trump suggests, yeah, here you go. Trump suggests DeSantis will face allegations from underage girls or possibly a man after speaking out, oh man, hat and probe. I need to see a video. He posted a picture. It's like an old picture of Rhonda Sanctis when he was like a teacher, and it looked like he was partying with some younger girls. Former President Donald Trump lashed out at Florida Governor Rhonda Sanctis on Monday after DeSantis spoke publicly about Trump's potential indictment over an apparent 2016 Hush Money payment to a porn star. Warning the Florida governor, he might face allegations from a woman, even classmates that are underage, are possibly a man. You know what that's basically saying. Fuck with me, you know I got it. OK, don't make me do it to you, Donny, because I'll overdo it, all right? That's what he's saying, bro. People forget when. He'll go there. What? Yo, when they did the whole grab-and-bottom-pussy thing. Yeah. And they tried that, and Trump knew they had the debate coming up. Trump went and had a press conference with all the women who have accused Bill Clinton. Oh, I remember. Of sexual. Now, he sat them front row. Front row? He did a press conference with him first, then sat him front row. I mean, that was what I was going to do. I think it was all the women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault or stuff, something like that. Trump said in the Truth Social Post that Ron DeSaintimonius will probably find out about false accusations and fake stories sometimes in the future before suggesting it could be about a relationship with a man. Some comment critics said were homophobic or transphobic. What's interesting about that is that probably would hurt Ron politically, because all of these people are hypocrites, right? Yeah. Because they believe in the Bible so much, but then a lot of them be on the down low and a lot of them be having boyfriends. But they'll look at this and say, oh, you're in a relationship with a man. I can't vote for you. You know, like, you're going against what the Bible says. Do you think that he's gay? Do you think Ron is gay? Ron DeSantis? No, man. I've never thought about it. I don't know. Why do you think he's gay? I mean, why would Trump say that? Because you know what could hurt him politically? Are there some pictures? But he's saying there's evidence. Yeah, he got something. He got something. That's all I'm saying. He's letting them know. Don't make me do you to you, Dunny. Because I'll overdo it, OK? Fuck with me. You know I got it. That's just a shock, like, hey, Ron.

That's all he's saying, yo. This is amazing how they keep playing right in the Trump's hands, though, man. Because even with the news, who is going to run against Trump in 2024 when all he does is suck all the air out of the news cycle, yo? Yeah. Like, what the fuck? I mean, is Biden going to run again?

So, you know, I'm just tying it all together somehow. But we'll be there in Atlanta, Saturday, April 22nd, Black Effect podcast festival. Larsa Pippin has sex four times a day. Can we talk about that though? You're telling me you had sex four times a night when you were many? You're just saying she's good. I had sex four times a night every night. I never had a day off for 23 years. What, what? Yes. What? You're poor vagina. You had sex 28 times a week. Yeah, I swear. For, but with 23 years? Yeah. So on the road too, when you was traveling? I don't understand. We never spent time away from each other. Like we had a private plane. I traveled with my kids, yeah. Marcus has big shoes to fill. Yeah. We wears the size 15 shoes. I think he's okay. Oh. Yo, Andy Cohen is an instigator, my boy. Marcus has big shoes to fill. That's wild. I think. That's the name Andy Cohen? Yeah. Yeah. Lars is lying. Can we start there? Scotty's one of how many kids? Tater. 12 or 13? She's lying. And you know? 12 or 13 kids, right? I don't know. I have no idea how many kids Lars is lying. At least 13. I don't know. I really don't know. He's one of 13 kids. They only got four. Second? All that fucking, they only got four kids. Because he reduced the quality. Yeah. For a while. I know she's lying. And he was cheating. That's crazy. You know who told me she was lying? Who? Other women. Other women was like, yo, there's no ways. Every day, four times a day, every day for 23 years. I mean, I couldn't do it. No periods. So that means through periods. That means after you even have the baby, you're not even supposed to have sex for six weeks. So that means through that, I saw Nicole Murphy was on my Instagram. She was like, not even a cold, the flu. Like he was just healthy the whole time. You made every road trip, like come on, yo. And she doubled down on it. No, that's just true. Like why do people lie for a living? Like why do we do this? Like you could just say we had sex a lot. You don't have to say we had sex four times a day, every day for 23 years. How many times, you think it was a lot at least? Clearly it was a lot. If she thinks it was four times a day. Remember how you said Alex got hit one time? Or no, the guy got, Alex hit the guy. One time, but the guy got, exactly. So clearly Scotty was hitting it so hard, she must have thought she was getting it four times a day. Has Scotty talked about this? Like he's back in the news. I would he. I mean. Why would he? That's nice. Scotty Pippin is a top 50 NBA player. I think they, last time I checked, they had him at number 33. Could he have been top five if he didn't do this? If these, if this is true? Yeah. He's top 15 easily. But if he didn't do it, could he be the greatest ever? With this, he's top 15. Cause he did all it is while still playing in the NBA. Shotes, tell me how it feels to bust one nut now. Pretty good. Do you have energy to do anything else? No. Exactly. Yes. This guy was the top 50 NBA player. Practice, NBA, all of that. Can we go Tim Foyle-Hack, can we go Conspiracy here? Okay. Who is the greatest competitor of all time? Michael Jordan. And Michael Jordan and Tom Brady, between those two. Fair enough. And does Michael Jordan believe that he's the greatest of all time? Yes. 100%. Absolutely. And it's very important to him that he's the greatest of all time. Yes. And if he saw an upcoming threat, I don't know, maybe a six, seven to six, nine point card with unbelievable defense, ball handling ability, passing. Yeah, point forward. A physical specimen that has not been seen in the NBA before, that could potentially threaten his reign. Is it below Michael Jordan to find a woman that can catch dick four times a night to weaken him, to destroy his knees, to destroy his back, and potentially to destroy the greatness that he could achieve in his career to maintain his top spot. Scotty did have a lot of back issues, right? Shayna Sharp was throwing it out there. God damn. Is this Michael Jordan's diabolical plan to make sure he's number one? That means that he's been planning this for at least 30, 40 years. Of course. Because he's like, if you do this for me, I promise you, my first born son. Whoa. Full circle. Whoa. Full circle. MJ's the goat, bro. That's he's the goat. MJ's the goat. MJ is the goat. MJ is the goat. Jesus Christ. Whatever's left of her. Wow. I'm just saying, that's a lot. That's a lot. Do you care about this, if you're a new boyfriend? Does this bother you that this information is public? It can't feel good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It can't feel good, right? Yeah. It can't feel good. Yeah. I don't know, man. Scotty got a lot of unbelievable stats. This is one I just don't believe. I just don't believe that he's putting up these kind of numbers, bro. Yeah, I don't believe it. It's unbelievable. This is over 30 plus thousand times that they've had sex, if this is true. Yeah. It's like 30 thousand plus. Now you can do a math. That's not hard to do. It's only, how many fits, what, 52? How many 365 days in a year? It doesn't matter. It's just simple multiplication. It doesn't matter. Done what? Have sex? I had one of those one time in my life. How long, how many times do you do? Because I was, I had gotten to a car accident and I was on, that was the first time I was ever on, I think it was Oxy. It was some type of painkillers. I'm assuming it was Oxy. And that was the first time I was ever on Oxy and Oxy had me feeling crazy. Like, you know what I mean? And like, that was when you're a young, when you're a young, you've experimented with having sex high off weed and you've experimented having sex drunk. So being on the Oxy, you like, oh, I know sex probably feel crazy. And it was just like one of those times, it's like, yo, let me just see how many times I could nut in the day. And you were jerking off or having sex? No, I was having sex. I was having sex. It's impressive. It's impressive. I don't remember past, I don't think I did it more than three, though. I don't remember getting on more than three. Yeah, I think three is the most that I've done it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I don't remember anything more than three, yo. Yeah. And two of those are absolutely useless. The last one is definitely, I'm not even doing it. What are we trying to do here? What are we trying to do here? At one point, I was barely getting the wreck towards the ladder challenge. And I feel like I could be making this up, but I feel like I might've been skeeting blood at that point or something. Wow. I'm saying I was high. I probably was making this up. Yeah, I don't know if you were coming blood. Sperm is nothing but blood, y'all know that though, right? That's not true. Look it up. That's not true. Look it up. Sperm is blood. Taylor, Google is sperm blood. I think sperm is sperm. Google is sperm blood, yo. Is sperm blood? Is sperm blood? Most often no cause can be found for the blood in semen. Click on that? The thing you're saying is so ridiculous, Google doesn't even understand it. They're like, he must mean something else. So it's solving up the questions that you don't have. Hold on, put what is sperm made of. What is sperm made of? Nutrition. See, hold on. Come on, put the mic on to the smart guy. Come on. He tried to help you. He tried to bail you out. What is sperm made out? Are you talking to the mic? No, he's not. There's a mic over it. Come on. Come on. What is sperm made out of? Bail me out. First you got to say his name. Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha, Ashwagandha, Ashwagandha, Ashwagandha. It's not actually blood, it just serves the same purpose. So you're wrong, it's not blood. So there's sperm running through our veins? No. No, there's no, so what do you mean it serves the same purpose? Are you wrong? What's the brilliant it is? I don't care, I can be wrong. That title saves us every time. What does it mean it serves the same purpose though? Tell, explain that to me. Seaman contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose, enzymes, phosphoro- Potassium zinc. It just provides the nutrients to your balls the same way blood provides nutrients to the rest of your body. So it's the same purpose. Show us how to say something, bro. First of all, that sounds very tasty, right? What you just described. Citric acid, free amino acid, zinc, enzymes. You might need to drink your own sperm, bro. I'm serious, drinking it. I'm not even joking, y'all. What? No, I didn't try. I got a little bit on your mustache, I don't count. Yeah. Yo, this might be the key. I hit my face. Go back to that top 10 shit that we read. All of that shit is in sperm. Protein shake, bro. You might need to make this sperm protein shake, bro. It might be right. That might be it, man. It might be right. What else we got, Taylor Gang? Loss of Pippin's. And you know what, though? You know the beauty I like about the Loss of Pippin thing? Everybody has had enough sex to know that that's probably not true. So that's not even one of those things where women are looking at your man like, damn, you need to step it up. They know. They know that shit. They don't want that either. Taylor, four times a night? No, but you want multiple. Well, you mean let's go around. Round means four times a night, Taylor. Go on the mic for this ridiculousness. Four times is just four rounds, Taylor. I feel like, what are y'all talking about? Because we could do one in the morning time, afternoon, and the evening. That's too much. Every day? Not every, no, no, absolutely not every day. No, no, I don't need every day. Like three times a week. You want to have sex three times a day, three times a week? No, no, no, no, no, no. It depends. Three times? It depends. Especially if I'm high, yeah. You said especially if I'm high? Jesus Christ. For what? I have, well, you know girls have multiple orgasms, though. If I only get off once, and that's a thing, too. If you only get off once. It's another thing. Look, I say if we have sex once, right? Yeah. And I have multiple orgasms, I'm good. Oh, so you want multiple orgasms. Yeah, so maybe I should say. So whoever you get it is fine. Right. Why is one orgasm not enough? This is not. Do you know what an orgasm is? Even when I masturbate, it's not enough. But what if you don't know what an orgasm is, actually, and you're feeling something else? I do know what an orgasm is, don't do it. Well, an orgasm should feel like extreme relief. Yeah. But you're still pent up. And then I'm ready to go, no, I'm ready to go back again. We're just both different, though. Damn. We are. I know I was saying, as is a female and male, as I was saying. You're right, you are built different. You can run it back. I mean, that's just exhausting looking at this fucking large stuff. But I mean, think about it. Y'all do much of the pumping, though. It's not like. Who? Males, like, when it comes to sex, y'all are doing more of the work. I'm not, don't try me, Alex. I have not no fucking starfish. I'm not a starfish. I'm not a starfish. She just lays there like a starfish at the bottom of the ocean. Don't try me. First of all, first of all, you, but at the same time, how do you think I got these hips and ass? From sitting on your fucking ass doing nothing? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. How dare you give some bum ass Philly John the credit for your mama's genes? I'm just saying I'm working out. I seen your mama. Wait, what do you think? Shalameen. What do you think? What do you mean? What do you think? Shalameen. Shalameen. Shalameen. Oh, look. Disrespectful. What you want your mama to have no ass built like a board? What's your mama bringing me next week? Nothing at all. It's not playing. Ew, it's not playing with me. What is your mama bringing me next week? What is your mama like to make for me? Tell the truth. First of all. First of all. First of all. Tell the truth. First of all. Tell the truth. I love telling mama. Tell her. Tell the truth. What is your mama like to make for me? What is she like to make for you? Don't even say like for you because you haven't had it in a while. I had it though. I had it though. What was it? First of all. I'm not playing with you because I have a father and he will fuck you up. Stop playing with me. I'm not playing. I'm just telling you. What does she make for us? What does she make for us? Since I got to say us. My mama knows how to make a good pie and great pound cake. A pound cake? Hold on. Hold on. Is pound cake a suggestion? Shut the fuck up. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I love. She makes a great pie too. Wow. I love Taylor's mother's pie. I hate show. I hate show. You're not about to do this. How dare you give these dirty Philly John's the credit for the work your mom put in your mom's genetics got you like that. Taylor's genetics. That ain't no man. I'm saying how to keep it up. Yeah. No. Yes. I'm working out too. No. All right. All the credit, bro. Jesus Christ. Disrespect. Word. Got your guys. I had sounded like Dr. Miami. No damn reason. Respectful. Let's pay some bills, man. This Taylor. I just can't believe you would just do that. You just discredited your mama's genes. You know what I'm saying? For no reason. This episode has been brought to you by Squarespace.

And let's get back to the show. Yes. Back to the show. What's going on with you, man? What's up with your life? I feel good, man. You do? I do. I really feel good. I'm not even joking. When I say that I'm sleuthing my man, Elliot Connie. Elliot Connie is one of the most culturally competent psychotherapists that you will ever meet in your life. Had them on breakfast club this morning. Is he your personal one? Or... Yeah, he is. Oh, wow. I didn't know how I would feel. Sharing him with the world. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. You know, because he has like... I don't know, man. He does this thing where he says he always wants to break your brain. He wants to break your brain. He wants to break your mental health. And I just feel like he has... It's called selective... Selective... No, it's called solution... I'm going to tell you all right now. It's called solution-focused therapy. Okay. So it's called solution-focused brief therapy session. But it's about... It's called solution-focused therapy. So his whole thing is like, you know, we can sit around discussing the problems. But he likes to get right to solutions. And man, I have to admit, like a lot of things that he's been talking to me about, a lot of things that I've been implementing, it's been really, really working. Like what? You know what I mean? I mean, I know it sounds crazy to say, but even like in regards... A lot of it is more parenting for me, because you know, parenting is like... My biggest concern more than anything right now. Parenting being a husband. And you know, sometimes you question yourself as a father, especially me being a man, raising young women, because I'll beat myself up for yelling. You know what I'm saying? What are you yelling at? I mean, just like I'll yell when like one of them... One of them's not listening. It's really just one of them, to be honest with you. You know what I mean? But it's like when one of them's not listening, and like I find myself getting really short tempered and yelling, but then that yelling turns to me sitting down with them, having an actual conversation. Because those are things that never happened to me when I was younger. You know what I mean? When I was younger growing up in the 1900s, it was do as I say, you know, period. You know, there was no explanation, but kids are like naturally curious. So a kid's going to ask you why. If I say... Of course. You need to go do that. Why? Of course. You need to go to them and feel like you're being disrespected. Because I fucking said so. That's what you want to say, but at the same time, they're trying to learn. Sometimes you do, but my approach is like, this is the reason why. And what you realize is, man, you're raising more intelligent kids that way. You're raising, you know, kids who understand, I guess I don't want to say conflict resolution, but understand how to communicate, you know, more that way. And you know, one of the biggest things, even having a teenager is like, you know, you always feel like your teenagers disrespecting you. And you know, one thing that he said that... He said it on the show today, but this is something he told me in a session, was that you want your kids to disrespect you. And you're like, what? What? Excuse me? You know? But he has a reasoning behind it. Can we play it, Taylor? You told me the other day that you feel like kids should disrespect their parents. I think kids... I think parents should expect... Jason, let me put that in context. How many of you guys in this room would like to raise your children to be strong-minded, independent-thinking, ambitious kids? Of course. Or adults, right? Well, if you are going to instill that, part of that is confidence, part of that is voice, part of that is knowing I have value. And when you're teaching your child that, and I'm talking five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, the first place they practice voice is on you guys, correct? That's the first place. So you might say to them something, and I'm going to tell you something, my mother, I had two brothers, my mother would say, Ellie, go do the dishes. And I would be like, why didn't you ask one of them? And that would get me popped. That would get you lifted. That would get you popped, and I told you so. But if you're teaching your child to be confident, to be strong, to value their voice, they should ask those kinds of questions. And it allows you to parent them. But we shouldn't translate that as disrespect. They're just practicing. That's not disrespect. They're practicing their voice. But that was in our era, in the 1900s. I would never think to talk back. I would never even think to talk to my parents the way my kids talk to me. But it's like, it's not, as Ellie said, it's not disrespect. It's just them being like, asking valid questions. But that's also the way white people raise their kids doing that. Yeah. Because like my grandmother, she'd tell you whatever to do. Paint the house. Just go paint it. She don't paint the house. We confuse respect for silence. And I think that's a problem. I think we have to allow our children. We'll respond on that. If I say, go paint the house. And the child says, yes, ma'am, it goes paint. We think, oh, that's such a respectful child. But that same child, if some strong-willed, 17-year-old kid in high school says, let's go skip school, they're going to say, yes, sir. Like we have to teach them to question, why am I painting the house? I should understand the context of the life that I live in. Why am I painting the house? For these reasons. Okay, now it makes sense to me. And I understand that I can do things that I understand and push back on things I don't. That's why white folks got kids on leashes in the malls. Yeah, I don't agree with you with that, LA, because this is going to sound crazy. All right, here we go. I got six kids. So if I tell one of my kids to do something, I expect it to be done. I'm not going to do it with something that's going to be detrimental to their health, something that's going to hurt them. It's part of what everybody needs to do to be in this household. I agree with you. Meaning if dad's chores or dad's way is to make the money, pay the bills, do this, that, and the other. And I ask you to shovel the snow. Don't ask me why. Don't say, well, why didn't you ask this sibling? Why didn't you ask this one? No, because I asked you to do it. But you could explain it to them just the way you explained it. Just envy. Envy, listen. I shouldn't have to. Because when you say, hey, dad, I want to play basketball and cleats cost $500. I don't say, well, they're cheaper cleats. I'm like, oh, your grades are good. OK, I got you those cleats. But you should have that conversation on both ends of the spectrum, though. Now, I agree with you. If I say to my child to go do this, you don't have to go and do it. I guess they paid the house. They paid the house no more. But why that's a really good example is to a child. They have thought without wisdom. So you might have a child to mow the lawn. Oh, this is a good point. Hold on. Thought without wisdom. Childs have thoughts without wisdom. So you might ask the child to mow the lawn. But in their child brain, you asked me to paint the house. You have to help me understand the world in which I live. And I think it's both ends of the spectrum. If the child says, I want to play basketball and I need $600 Jordans, I don't think it's enough to just say, oh, you got good grades. You want to sit them down and explain to them, like this $600 is hard to earn. That's right. And you are worth it. And then that child thinks they have value and that child understands the world in which they live. But remember, guys, they get confidence. They get thought. They get spontaneity before they get wisdom. Yeah, see, I grew up getting beaten. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I can tell you right now, beatings don't do anything for a child's confidence. You know what I'm saying? Beatings don't do anything for a child, but make a child insecure and make a child question everything. Can I ask a question about that right there? So what would his suggestion be? Like, let's say you want your child to mow the lawn or whatever. And he goes, why do you want me to mow the lawn? Have the conversation with him and why he needs to mow the lawn. And then what is that conversation? Like, what would that be for you? I mean, for me, it would be like, you need to mow the lawn because this is part of growing up in this house. You don't have a job. Oh, we all need to contribute to this home. We all need to contribute. You don't have a job. You know what I mean? I do what I do to make sure things move coolly in this house. Your mom doesn't, she doesn't make sure things move coolly in this house. You need to do what you need to do. And that's just part of growing up and coming of age. You know what I mean? Like, my daughter's a teenager. She got chores now. You know, even my seven and four year old, y'all have to clean your rooms. Like, that's just part of living in this house. So that's your explanation. Your explanation is this is the responsibility you have for living in this house. Absolutely. And the older you get, the more responsibility you have for living in this home. That's it. Yeah, I like that. I like explaining to them because I do agree with you. It's like, I've never done what I was told in my life. Ever. Are forced to do it. Oh, I refuse to do anything that I'm forced to. But my whole life has been like fighting for no rules. But I have repeated the things that my parents did that I observed. So I really kind of locked in on their behavior. And then I think that I have continued that behavior. Right. And I think that I'm very fortunate that I had really good parents so that they said like a good standard of what behavior should be like hard work, et cetera. But not everybody has that shit. Absolutely. So then like what do you do if you're a parent and you are emotional and you are rational and you do act in a way that you don't want your kid to act. But you're acting like that in front of them. Like what do they do? They have to go through therapy. They got to fix that shit. Like, yeah. And I think about me. You know what I was thinking about? I was thinking about, God damn. How much pain were the adults that I grew up around going through that they could just beat us the way they did with the extensions cords, with the switches, the way they just used to haul off and pop us with the hands, all of that. Because the reality is I beat myself up when I raised my voice at my children. I can't even yell. But you got girls, bro. At my kids. I guess. It's different. If you had a badass little teenage boy checking you in front of your wife telling you to go mow the lawn, imagine your son when you had some mow the lawn and you go, why? So you could hug that tree later? I'm kicking him in his chest. You know what I was saying? Roundhouse. Imagine? No, man. Why are you always hugging that wood, maggot? I said that to your son. What if your son in your home in front of your wife said, why are you hugging that tree, maggot? You don't have a while as hell if your son learns gay slurs. Because I would be the daddy. That's not a gay slur. That's maggot. I know. But I would be the daddy. Don't do that. Okay. Maggot don't hit the same. I would be the dad that let the son watch all the old movies. Yup. And then you wonder where he gets it from. Amen. You're right. Those are the nukes back then, boy. I'm just saying. Because you know, especially in this era of bullying. Oh. If you raise your kid with a 90s sense of humor. Oh, forget it. Nobody will play with him. Oh, forget it. Nobody will play with him or her. He need to be strapped. He need to be strapped. He need to be strapped because he gonna make some school shooters. You worried about me? That's the type of bullying that's gonna make some, bro. That's a fact. We gotta keep those words out of their mouths. You ain't lying, yo. It's so crazy. I don't know, man. That's the most difficult thing in my life right now. Which is what? Finding a way to discipline your kids. Parenting, yeah. Parenting is, I mean, because, you know, I said this on the air and a woman called in and I said there's no manual to it and the woman called in and she was like, there's plenty of books in it. Everybody got to play until you get punched in the face. Didn't Mike Tyson teach us that? Like you don't know it until you're in it. And I got four. And they range in ages. You think you've gotten better? With each one? 100%. So your last kid is getting your best parenting? My third and fourth. I wasn't even present, like really. I mean, I was present as far as physically. But emotionally. I was in these streets. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I was out here. I was still running around getting drunk and high and on drugs and L.A. And I was wilding. I was living this new radio star life. Like I wasn't the parent. I wasn't even close. Now, do your kids know that or were they too young? No. I mean, I don't think they know that. I don't think so. I mean, I talked to my oldest daughter about it though. What do you say? We just have a real conversation. Tell her the truth. You know what I mean? Like just because it's because she's 14. She'll be 18 in four years. Like in four years she'll be starting college. Like you should be having those conversations with your teenage kid. Think about when your dad first started having real conversations with you. How old were you? I don't remember. But it had to be... I'm sure to process it, right? I've never felt like my conversations with my parents changed at a certain age. Wow. That's a blessing, bro. And I've always felt like I could tell them whatever I was going through emotionally. That's what I want. That's all I want. Very lucky. Very lucky. But also my parents have been in therapy my entire life. So the idea of like sharing things with them, the idea of depression, the idea of anxiety, these things weren't like novel things for me. I'm incredibly lucky that I grew up knowing that these things existed. And I was like analyzing my emotional stability constantly. So like when I felt that I was maybe down or whatever, I wasn't like, why do I feel like this? I knew what these concepts were. So I could kind of prepare myself for them. Very lucky. That's all I want, man. And see that's why like therapy even like for my older daughter, I put her in therapy just because. You know what I mean? Just so she can learn how to continue, how to process her emotions, how to communicate, all of that good stuff, you know what I mean? And she's smart enough to know like nah, this therapy is the same for me. She's a very good communicator because I'm a good communicator, but not because anybody taught me how to communicate. Can I ask you something? Is it difficult now that your like daughter is old enough to consume the content that you put out? Like worse. Yeah, like how does that affect how you create? Are you worried at all about the things you've done in the past and how it could make? No, I'm not worried about none of the past shit. Because the past shit is the past shit, you know what I'm saying? I'm not worried about that. I'm more concerned about what I say now. I'm more cognizant of things that I say now. And it's interesting because I used to have a program director. I don't know if it was George Cook or Chris Connors. They used to always tell me, talk like your mom or grandma is in the room. It's like, well, that's not what's going to make this happen. But to a certain extent, yeah, but I never talked around them anyway, you know what I mean? So now it's more like talk like your daughters in the room. Like your daughters are going to hit us because they do. Like, oh my God, they're in high school. Who is consuming this shit that we put out? Like the brilliant idiots in the breakfast club? Like, I guess nothing crazier than sitting at dinner and one of your daughter's friends turns, you know, it's like, I was on YouTube and I was, you know, I love scissor and I was just going down the scissor and they was feeding me things. And I saw you talking to scissor. I'm like, oh, shit. You know what I mean? You know, like, you know, you just don't know which, what version, what variant of Charlamagne they're going to see, you know? So do you get anxiety? Not anxiety. I'm just cognizant of the things that come out of my mouth. Any guilt? No, not guilt. No, none of those things. Not guilt. No, because the funny part about kids, as we know, kids have way more of a sense of humor than these fucking curmudgeon-ass adults who grow up to be sensitive about everything. Kids just find shit funny, you know? So when they might run across, that's just some funny shit that they see, you know what I mean? Well, I mean, kids, you know, they're very nature of finding themselves as rebellion. Yes. So if what they see is a bunch of sensitive people offended by everything, that becomes uncool. So they want to rebel against what is uncool. Yes. So if we're, like for example, like in the 80s or whatever, like in the 60s, whatever the fucking hippies and shit were all around, right? Like things are going to button up. The next generation is going to be super button up and almost conservative. And that's going to constantly flip-flop back and forth. Democrat, conservative, liberal, conservative. And it's, yeah, that's just rebellion. But the conversations that they're even having is like mind blowing. Like what? It's like my daughter would even just tell me about the conversation because they all had to pick a topic that they wanted to debate on and like the oil pipelines and like, you know, somebody was like, something about religion or politics. It's like, no, no, no, that's just going to cause argument. Like, you know what I mean? Like the fact that they're even aware of that. Oh, they said that. They stopped the conversation because they thought it would cause arguments. Yeah. It was like, that's just going to cause argument. Let's talk, you know, and I'm like, wow. At dinner with you? No, no, no, no. This is like something they're doing in school. This is something she was telling me that they're doing in school. Like they all got to get in these different groups and have these teams and pick one topic to present to the class. But they were in the process of them picking all of these different topics. They were shooting certain things down just because I'm like, that's going to cause arguments. You know what I mean? That's going to cause debates. And I was like, that's right. You never debate politics and religion. Remember those days? Well, we like to do that all the time. We do. But remember when we used to keep politics and religion to ourselves? Never. I've never been able to have a... Yes, you did. I've never been able to have like a limiter on conversation. Really? Yeah. Wow. Now, okay, here's my last question. Now that your daughter's probably in the age where she's, you know, if she likes boys, she's liking boys, whatever, relationships, that kind of stuff like that. Is that not difficult in terms of will you be okay with the girl or the guy she dates or whatever? Like that's going to be difficult. But like her perception of your relationship, she's lived for two Charlemans, right? She's lived for faithful, loving husband. She didn't see none of that though. She didn't see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's possible that she's aware because you've been so honest and so open and so truthful about your past and also like where you are now. All right. Is there like, and if it's too personal, we don't have to talk about it, but I'm just curious, like is there a part of you that's ever like, how are you making sure that this version of you is the one that she's influenced by and she looks for in a man? I think she will be just because this is the version that she's probably, this is the only version she's seen in her formative years. Right. You know what I'm saying? She was younger when all of that was going on. So she didn't understand conceptually what it was to be in a relationship. Not at all. Not at all. And one thing that I've always been very aware of is what people say about their parents. Like always hear stories of, especially women telling me the relationships they saw their parents have. Like they saw their dad hugging all over their mom or slapping their mom on the butt or constantly, I love your mom, stuff like that. So that sticks with women forever. I'm sure you've seen that with your mom and dad, right? Really? Taylor says she don't see it. Of course, Taylor. Taylor, you don't see that. You don't see that with your mom then? No, you know what's weird though? Because I would call myself, like when it comes to relationship, I'm real affectionate, but I don't feel like I saw that with my parents. Like they showed love. You saw love though. Yeah, they saw love. They never argued in front of me. Like I never saw that. Where do you think you got your affection from then? I don't know. You don't have any fucking affection. I'm saying in a relationship, yes I am. I'm mad affectionate. Like I love kisses, all that stuff. Yeah, I hate it. You believe it's evil John. Why do you think I'm evil? It's evil Philly John. If I'm evil, it's coming from you. Wow. Wow. But I do agree with what you're saying, which is like, I've learned what to expect in a relationship from my parents. My parents have had a loving marriage, had been very fortunate. That's not to say they haven't had like rocky times, but the way that they loved one another was really beautiful. And so that's kind of what I expect in a relationship. Now that can also be, you could argue like to my detriment, because I won't tolerate anything else. There are some people that grow up in really dysfunctional marriages. When they meet someone who meets the qualifications of that dysfunction, they are not deterred by it. That's right. That is what they expect. That's right. And that's a dangerous thing to continue. I agree. In a relationship, you always always said this, hurt people hurt people. That happens in different ways. It's like, if you saw the way that your mom treated your dad, you might think that's what a woman should treat you like. Bro, my dad literally told me, when I was young, and I confronted him about cheating on my mom, he literally said to me, you only got one girlfriend? Yeah. He looked at me and I was like, one day you'll understand. Well, I don't know. This is why I'm very proud of you. And I don't mean that a patronizing way. I appreciate it. Only to grow up to tell me I was right. Well, because your father grew up. That's right. But yeah, like you have every reason to like stay in your ways. Right? Yeah. And you have no real incentive to change it outside of like, you love your family and you love your wife, but like everything's going well in your life. It's not like you're hitting rock bottom. You're like, I need to change this. You hit rock top and you need to change it. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yes. And I have people close to me who have decided to change, to not continue a trend in their family. Simple as that. Brick generational crisis. I just started going to therapy because I was losing. I was winning. But you were still feeling something was wrong. You weren't happy. You go to home and you're not happy. At the end of the day, that's why Michael Jackson Man in the mirror makes me cry every motherfucking time. Because that is the truth. When you look in the motherfucking mirror, that's what you see. That is the, you have to go to bed every night. Happy with who you are. That's it. If you're not doing that, trust me, you will know. There's a, my father's father was a, by all accounts, a horrible father. And just not really about the kids. Just, you know, I don't want to put shame on the dead, but just not, just a kind of bad guy. And my dad is like my hero. I think he's a literal angel. And I'm like, wow, you broke that. Like you broke that. You broke the generational crisis, man. I can't wait to like do that for our kids, you know, like I can't wait to continue that. Because I learned from this and it's like, you could have continued it, but you broke it, man. And that's fucking awesome. You should be really proud of yourself. You're only going to look at it two ways, right? You're either going to be just, you're going to be just like the hurt, right? Or you're going to break that generational crush. You're going to do the exact opposite. It's either going to be either, or you're either going to be just like what you hate, or you're going to do the exact opposite. I did both. I was just like it at one point. But then when I saw myself really becoming that, because I've always been aware enough to know, I don't want to be that. You didn't admire that behavior of your father at all. No, not at all. So when I started, when it started becoming me, I'm like, what the fuck is happening? I don't want to be someone I don't mind. How am I becoming what I despise? I hate my dad. I love my dad. I hated his behavior. So I was just like, God damn. So that's what really made me like, number one, quick cold turkey. I'm just like, fuck all that. Fuck all the infidelity. I'm done with that. And now I got to really go do the work on myself, because clearly something's broken in here. That you even need to go do that? Absolutely. God damn, Lutely. Yeah. Yes. Can you go on the mic, though? But did for, does China, I guess, separate black and white? I feel like with my family and my parents, I knew they loved me, right? But they never said, oh, I love you until I started getting older. Was that the same thing, Charlotte? The women in my life did. Not my dad. My dad, he never told me that shit when I was little. Not that I remember. My parents both came from families that were maybe not the most outward with their love. So I think that they were trying to change that. So they were very loving. Saying I love you is a very normal thing with my family. I probably kissed my dad on the lips too old. Do you know what I mean? I think so. I think you reach a certain date. If our stubble's rubbing against each other, I think it's probably too old. I don't know, man. No, but I guess what I'm saying is that it was very open and that environment was there. But I also think that came from them being quite loving and affectionate. Now I grew up in a dance studio. So like dance in and of itself is quite affectionate. It's tactile. You're like touching, holding, moving, like seeing them embrace was a kind of normal thing in life. But yeah, so that's what I assumed is normal. And that's how I am in my relationships. Well, it depends, right? Like maybe... Both my parents, they would tell me they love me. But they got divorced early. I mean, I'll give you an example. So my mom's from Scotland. My dad went to Scotland for the first time. So it's one of the few stories my dad still has locked in his memory. You know, his memory is gone. But he always tells the story of my dad going to Scotland for the first time to meet my mom's family. And my mom comes from like very humble beginnings, the most humble beginnings. And then comes to America and becomes like three-time U.S. Ballroom Dance Champion, like this immense success, right? And he goes there and there's no conversation about her success at all. There's nobody brings it up. Nobody even asks. There's no talk about what she's achieved. And this is her first time back in like years. And my mom was like, don't say anything. Don't bring it up. And my dad was like appalled. Because he's enamored by this woman. He thinks that she's just the most magical human being. Like comes from nothing and like built her success. But there's a perfect example. That's just not how they showed their love. Now, if you ask my mom if she was loved from her family, she's like, I always felt I could go back. They would be there for me. They'd take care of me. They'd do whatever. She always felt there was love and support there. But it wasn't executed in the same way that maybe we would do here in America. So yes, different cultures will behave differently. Because if you look at like black Dominicans, for example, they're going to love, like Latin culture is just so full with love. You know what I mean? Like your mother is so full with love. It's a beautiful thing. Taylor's mom's filled with love. She is. No, no. But it could be you. It could be you. Taylor, you're the evil one. I met your mom, yo. She's loving that. No, my mom is the most nice. She's very loving. But I'm saying when they can't stop. When I'm saying when it came to like raising us, like you and my brother, we were having a discussion. Like they didn't want to be like, all right. See, I love you. That wasn't in a sentence. I'm not. That's a crazy feeling to see. She actually cried out of one eye. This one still needs a discussion. No, but the only reason I was saying stop, the only reason I was saying that, because I asked, I'm like, how come we don't say we love each other or whatever? I asked them a long time ago. That's a good question. What you saying? Don't love each other. Look, I can see why. Stop! Look, but they were saying to like, you know we love you. I know it, but we don't say it enough. I need to hear it. There's a difference between knowing it and like wanting that constant validation for it. Right. You know? And we're humans. We do need reminders. I need constant validation. Yeah. My wife is fully aware of that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That shit is exhausting for me. Oh my God. Yeah. It's not even just her. All my people, they know. They're like, let them go ahead. Oh, yeah. I know you want to be seen. Yeah. Like, literally, that's how it is. And remind them, yeah, this me want to be seen. Yeah. There's millionaires. I would like to. I'm gonna have to be about the money. Just like I was the kid who, you know, would go out in the yard and get stung by a bee just for attention. Yeah. And you turn that into something. What? Success. What did Rachel point out? What did she say? You were like, you're like, just standing there like waiting for her to hug you like you want me to hug you so you could leave? Yes. She would reach you and not somebody who know me for 13 something years. Yeah. Yes. Cheat. Fuck, I need to hug before I go. God damn it. I don't want to make me think y'all hate me. But isn't that crazy? Because most people probably never assume that about you. They'd be like, hey, man, this guy is the most confident dude in the world, and he's so self-assured. He could do anything. You could achieve anything. And deep down, you're going into certain interactions where you're like, hey, I need to know that y'all think that I'm great. You think I'm funny. You think I'm loved. It's not even that. I just want to always... I want people to know I love them. I want people to know that I want you to love me as much as I love you. Right. And you feel like they might not until they prove they do. It's not even about the proven. I just want to feel it. I can't explain. I just want to feel it. I don't need you. Like, it's something as simple as a hug. All I wanted was a hug. That's all I wanted. Why? Why? Why? What would that hug do? Because you never know. It's a Friday. Y'all going into the weekend. She going her way. I'm going mine. I'm not going to see her this weekend. Anything can happen, bro. That's true. Anything can happen. Y'all tell your people you love them, hug them. You know what I mean? You want your... If that is your last moments, make those moments meaningful. That's just how I feel. And I feel like that with all my people. Like, yo, I'm not leaving... Such and such still here? All right. Let me go say peace. If I care about them. You know what I mean? We're also at a certain age where we're reflecting a lot more. And I think that the older we get within this, there's like a gratitude built in. We're so grateful. You're so grateful you're able to achieve the things that you've been able to achieve. I've been able to achieve and you're just so grateful for the people around you that helped you do that and loved you and supported you. So it's like... Yeah, it's almost like a creepy, eerie feeling. We're at the age where people start passing away. Like, friends of ours that are older, but still like people we looked up to. And it's just... Man. Oh, it feels fragile. Life gets fragile. Younger. Like, life feels fragile. That's exactly the best way to put it. And the weirdest thing is you work so hard. Oh, life is so funny. You work so hard to realize none of this matters. Not even none of this matters because I don't subscribe that because I think it does matter. I think it's beautiful what we've been able to create and do. But like, you work so hard for security. And life has this wave reminding you that like, there is no security. It's like, if I want to do something, if I want to end this, I can end it like... Right now. And accepting that is the hardest thing in the world. Also the most freeing, though. Oh, God, it must be so liberating if we can accept it. I'm getting... I think I'm there now. It's also the most freeing. I don't want it to happen, especially after having all these goddamn cardiovascular tests over the last few months. How'd those go? They were good. I mean, it's just like... The only thing I had was a high cholesterol, but that's come down. And like, my calcium test was like a 76. So it's like 10% plaque on my arteries, I mean. So you need to get that down, too? No, you can't. Oh, that's just... No, no, no. Once that's there, that's there. You know what I mean? I guess you can have surgery and stuff, but I'm not even to that point. Like, I'm fine. Right. And it's like, that's a common thing. And doctors even call it coronary artery disease, but it's not like a fatal, fatal thing unless it was much higher. You know what I mean? Unless it was much more plaque built up on the walls of my arteries. But, you know, stuff like that. All that stuff just does is make me appreciate life more. Yeah. And I think that's the moral of the story of what we're saying, right? Yeah. Just appreciate life more. I mean, when you say the hug thing, it's like, yes. Because I appreciate my people, and I want them to know I appreciate them. You know what I'm saying? And when I leave them, I want to leave with... The same way we greet each other all the time is how I want us to leave with each other. That's it. Like, I don't ever just want to rush out somewhere and you hear about something. You're like, what the fuck? I feel that every time I go see my folks, I go, and I kiss my dad when I leave him. And it's like this weird feeling where it's like... You don't know. I make sure I get that, I love you. You know, I make sure I get that back from him. I make sure he hears me say it to him. That's right. And it's like... That's right. That's the most important thing, man. That's all that matters, bro. You know what? This episode turned out to be a really good episode. I was out of it in the beginning and maybe going through the motions, but sometimes being in these states allows you to have a more honest, real conversation. Absolutely. When everything's feeling really good, it's easy to continue and coast on that. And that's fun too. You're silly, you talk about shit that doesn't matter, and that's fine too, and that's awesome. But sometimes when you're in a little bit more of a... I don't know, downstate. When you feeling pussy? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? When you feeling a little vulnerable, man. Yeah, when you feeling pussy, yeah, that's it. I'd have to really get back to the audience. You really just channeled your dad just now. He's like, all them feelings that has pussy shit. Nah, that wasn't my dad. That wasn't my dad. That was totally my dad. I remember, man... My dad was a wild boy. My dad wouldn't have said the P-word, I'll tell you that. We know what he's saying. But yeah, it's just... My dad would be like, it's okay, man. Sometimes I feel like a... You bag it too. Like, what? I don't know, it's cool. It's cool to get to this. It is, it is, it is. Shall we do some asking idiots? If you want to? Unless you just want to end on this note? Oh, we can just end on this. This is beautiful. I'm with this. Okay, let's go. Yes, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay to not be okay, and it's okay to express that you're not okay. And sometimes expressing that gets you closer okay. Yeah, absolutely. Holding that shit in is just a burden. Oof. I'm with you, my brother. Vomit. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, you think we're just a couple idiots, you don't know shit, you're right too. It's the Brilliant Idiots podcast. Thank you for listening. Peace.
