 It's so stupid. It's positively brilliant. The brilliant. The brilliant. The brilliant. The brilliant. The brilliant. The brilliant. Yep, shawlamene the god. Andrew Shull. We are the brilliant idiots back for another week of brilliant idiot shit. Covid cases are rising. That's what I hear. Okay. You think they shut it down again? Listen. I heard today whoever's on Biden's Task Force, Coronavirus Task Force said that six weeks will get us right back where we need to be. Six weeks of lockdown. So four to six weeks of lockdown, which we could have done way back when, you know, but Americans don't have no fucking discipline. Can people do it though? Americans don't have no fucking discipline. Four to six weeks. You know what it is, man? And this is America's problem. People start thinking about the conditions of people who don't live lavish. You know what I mean? Imagine you're living in a one bedroom apartment in New York. Who the fuck, and you got four people living there? Four to six weeks? You ain't gonna make it. You're not gonna make it. People don't realize the effects of the lockdown. No! It's like, oh yeah, stay home. Have you seen my house? Do you know where I live, you motherfuckers? You know what I'm saying? It's up to you to say stay home, Ellen. You know what I mean? I'd stay in your house too. Can I stay in your house for four to six weeks? Let's trade. That was what was so annoying about those celebs saying, we're in this together. It's like, it don't look like it. You look alone on your estate. No, no, no. We're not in this together. In this together is when you got them friends, like, I was talking to the homie last night, and he was like, yo, when you come out here, just stay out here, man. You know what I'm saying? Well, he was like, when you come out here, just stay out here. You know what I'm saying? I got five bedrooms. He invited you to Mar-a-Lago? No, no, no, no. Is this somebody in Cali? But it's just a principle. It's just like, it's a different level. You know what I mean? You can't tell motherfuckers stay home. Could you stay home for four to six weeks, Taylor? With your boyfriend? Yeah, my house is still up, yeah. That's different. Only five bedrooms? Five bedrooms is a lot. Not a lot of bedrooms, bro. Yes, it is. Five bedrooms? I mean, like, five bedrooms? And one, for one person? I'm just saying, like, if you got it like that, five bedrooms is not that much, bro. Depends on the bedroom. If you really got it like that, like, I thought we were talking about how many bedrooms you got. I got bedrooms. It is, bro. Yeah, it is, bro. Imagine having 10,000 square feet. Say what? You got 10,000 square feet, five bedrooms. Better than pretty. You're cooling. You're cooling out. Maybe you got a little pool house or something I might come through, but I got to be in the same house as you. What's going on? You might not see him. I'm not a child, bro. I'm not a child, bro. I need a wing of a house or I need like a pool house. True, true. Who was I talking to the other day? I mean, my own key. When we had two chains on this morning, I told two chains that because two chains was sitting in his Rolls Royce outside, you know, doing the interview. And I was like, why are you sitting in the car? And he's like, because the kids and they're doing the homework. I'm like, yo, you got 100 acres. As big as your house is. Yeah. He was like, yeah, but, you know, he actually said this. He was like, yeah, but, you know, I got a hundred acres and, you know, the house, the Wi-Fi is like the Wi-Fi shit. But that's what you're paying for in the country. No, dude. I wouldn't give a fuck. Give me a hundred acres in that big ass house. Who cares about Wi-Fi? They got Wi-Fi on the moon, bro. They can get you Wi-Fi in Atlanta or whatever he's from. Where is he from? Atlanta. Oh, that's crazy, dude. I was two chains. He's great. His album comes out tomorrow. So help me God on Friday. It's actually a really good album. Because that whole album is based on his time in quarantine. You know what I'm saying? So it's just a lot of things that he's talking about that I can relate to. His first single is Quarantine Thick. Yeah. You know what I mean? A lot of motherfuckers then got Quarantine Thick. Yeah. They got swag scan a little more. 25, 30 at least. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Some people look light, but they heavy though. Can we call guys Thick? Yeah. Yeah. You should. You should. You can call a guy Thick. Thick, really. Charlemagne's like happy. I like it. It's a compliment. So if a guy says to you like, damn, Charlemagne Thick. Yeah, yeah. Good looking out. Thank you, man. That's it? That's it. You know this. And what if they give you that handshake, but they take the middle finger and they go like that? That's sexual harassment. That's sexual harassment. Don't disrespect my wife. Why are you doing that? That is true. Don't disrespect my wife, my G. You know what I mean? Look, but don't touch. This thickness is a no contact sport. All right? Okay. You can observe me all day long. Window shot. Window shot. Baby, come on. Enjoy this thickness from a fall. So you can take thickness as a compliment from a dude. That's nothing for you. You're not into that. Okay. None of that stuff fazing me. Charlemagne, you handsome. You thick. I get that all the time. Man, Annalyze. Yo, Char, you like Mars Chestnut. Thank you, my dude. Appreciate it. I like it. It's all the same to me. It's nothing. Yo, what's the best gay line that you got? What's the best gay pickup line you got? The best gay pickup line. I never had a gay pick. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Back in the day in the MySpace era. I definitely had a basketball player shoot a shot. A basketball player. He was like aggressive. And this one, Brian used to play for the Cavs. And so they were playing the Cavs. And he was like, I'll give you tickets. You know what I'm saying? Have you sitting in the section with my family? And it's like the first time he offered, I couldn't make it. Second time he offered, I told him I was going to come, but I didn't go. And he hit me on some like. He was sour. That's disrespectful. You know what I'm saying? Like, damn. He said, like, you know, you stood me up. I'm like stood you up. And one of the messages was like, yo, you know, we're going to go out after. We're going to get drunk. He's like, we get drunk drunk. Like we get crazy. He put crazy, crazy. I'm like, all right. And then his sister pulled up to the station one day. I didn't know who she was. She was just waiting outside. And she was like, yeah, such a such been trying to reach you. You know what I mean? He said, you've been kind of ignoring them, whatever, whatever. And I'm like, this is weird. Yeah. And then his sister started acting like she was hitting on me. And so I went over her crib one night and wouldn't touch her. And she was like, wait till I tell such and such this. And I'm like, so he going to really think I'm gay. She shot her shot. I don't know what she was doing. I don't know what this was that they had going on. That was some like, and you guys think I'm new to that. I was new to this. So I just got work. I started working on Wendy in 06. So like, you know, in your mind between Wendy putting all of this stuff in my head about what the industry is and what people are doing in the industry. And then having something like that happen. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? They were chasing the cheeks, bro. They were chasing the cheeks. They were chasing the cheeks, bro. The sister was chasing the cheeks and the brother. I think the sister was just trying to see what was up. That's a little like hands up. Because if I had got with the sister, she'd be like, nah, he not, he not, you know, he. So she. That's what I think. She tries to see if you're gay or not. That's what I think. So she tried to blow it up and you were like, no, thank you. I'm not into you. Why does she kind of favor him a little in the face? How come what? How come you didn't? Because I'm not a whore. But also was she, was she kind of, was she kind of Bustardo? I don't even know what that means. But by your context, I think it's ugly. Yeah. But I would never say ugly, but I would say Bustardo. She's not medically challenged. Nah, she's actually fly. She was fly. And you said no to some top from a fly. I've never been that type of person. Like I'm not a slut. No, you're not a slut. But maybe you get a dick, suck. No, no, no, no. I did nothing. On the casual. We did nothing. Really? She showed me her tatas and I was like, nice. So she just busted out to titties. And then you said. Those are nice. You said those are nice. Objectively speaking. Nope, didn't touch them. Did she approach you with the titties out? No, no, no, no, no. Just on some like sensual, like let me take this off. Oh, it's a little hot here. And then you just. Boom. Like someone it owes. I'm like, oh, I think it actually started with a conversation because her breasts aren't real. They weren't real. Oh, you want to see these fake tits? Yeah, it was something like that. And she whipped them out. And when I didn't want, I'm like, nice. And then, you know, she flirted a little bit and I didn't want to do nothing. And she was just like, wait till I tell such and such this. Really? Interesting. Did you not have a condom? Was that why? It sounded like a dream I had. Yeah. I thought you had my life a dream you had. Oh, don't get me into dreams. Bro, I had a. But you were just saying like I seen that. Maybe it was a TV show. Maybe you just had deja vu just now. Yeah, maybe. That's all deja vu. I had a little nocturnal emish recently. What is that? When you dream and have a wet dream. I had a little nocturnal emish. Ooh. Do tell. Premature ejaculation. In your dream? In my dream. At least you're not disappointing nobody. At least I'm not cheating. Yeah. I'm saying you put faithful in the dream world too. You know what I'm saying? That is the ultimate. That is ultimate. That's the ultimate. That should make you wake up feeling good about yourself. Man, right? You turn your wife like you won't believe what this chick tried to do to me in my dream. I hand her the underwear. I was like, you gotta clean this. Look how faithful I am. I can't be cleaning my own faithful ass underwear. Someone else got to do this job. Maybe to suck my dick tonight before like I asked you to. That's it. It's simple. Yeah. Yo, your boy hit that nocturnal emish though. That nocturnal emish be hitting though. I haven't had one in a long time. But me neither. Back in the day that nocturnal emish used to burn a little bit though. Really? Yeah, because you know why? Because you're wearing boxes and you be under the sheets. Oh, so it got hot. No, I think you bust off and it goes back in a little bit. Uh, was this when you had your skin bridge? No, it was before the skin bridge. No, after the skin bridge. After the skin bridge. Interesting. Yeah, I never, it never was hot for me. Because you gotta think it ejaculates. Yes, it does. So it shoots out. Yes. You never think about like imagine if you covered that. Like cover it. I mean, that's, I'm sure somebody out there has done it. I, but if you. Oh, I used to pinch the tip when I was about to bust back in the day. Really? Yeah. Imagine covering it and trying to hold it. Yeah. I think what happens is it comes out but it hits the sheet. So a little bit just seeps back in and burns a little bit. Interesting. Luckily I was sleeping a dick on belly and I was on my back. So I think it just shot up. So you shot. Yeah. Ended up on your stomach? Well, a little bit on the tummy, a lot on the underwear. Nice, nice, man. Yes, Taylor. What was the dream? What was the dream? I was just in the middle of the street and there was some, some girl who I don't know who it was. It was completely random. Seducing you in your dream. And she wouldn't even seduce me. She was just talking and I was just like, oh, I'll keep them. And then one, yeah, when I felt like I was about to bust, you know, like, you know that like moment where you think you're about to bust and then there's a second for you. You're like, oh, there's no going back. Yeah. And then in that moment I leaned in, bro. In that moment I leaned in and I just touched her elbow and then I just fucking ripped one. Listen, there's nothing like, by the way, there's nothing like that big for Mercy, man. What's that? When you, like you just described, you know it's no going back. Yeah, yeah. And you just got to submit yourself to this woman and you just got to say, look, you got me. Yeah. I can't control it no more. Do you start thinking of the excuse during that time? Or do you like, do you know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, are you cooking up the reason why you bust it so quick before it even shoots out? I already know the reason. What is the reason? You're amazing. You are amazing, bro. This is all, this is your fault. Hey ladies, you want to compliment? Let us bust quick. I tell my wife that I was on this. It's your fault. Why'd you do this? You out here looking all sexy. Got this beautiful wop. You know what I'm saying? You see what you're doing to us? What am I supposed to do? I'm supposed to not bust. Duvall used to have the best one ever. Duvall used to be like, if I'm, if Duvall used to say, if I'm fucking you for hours, you pussy got it. Yeah, something. He's got a point. True. He got a point. It's true. Hot 20 minutes, everybody should get what they want. Yeah, all these girls are like, oh my man fucks me for two hours. Like, that should be a little bit of a concern. History. Right? I agree with the problem. Do they mean like with breaks in? What do you mean? Breaks for what? What are breaks? We're not eating snacks. In a mission, these are rounds, baby. Well, that's what I mean though. Like rounds. No, you're not rounds. Not rounds. Hey, rounds, hey, rounds. This is Street Fight. This is Street Fight. We're not. You guys never had light. What's the most y'all have sex in a day? One. You gotta talk age though. Oh, and we're younger. Yeah, younger, baby. Go 12 rounds. We want it. 12 is crazy, but I think it's good. 12 is crazy. You're a crazy dude. You're a sex addict. You gotta be an addict. No, you should be put in prison if you have sex 12 times a day. No, back in the day, I'd go for hours because I thought that was the thing, right? You thought that like making love all night was the shit. You know what I mean? Like I literally would. I'm talking about hours, like. You would have sex for hours without busting. Oh yeah, man. Without busting? Nah, I would bust, but then I get hard again. She don't get dry? Nah, not if you bust in her, it keeps it wet. No. I mean, not if the sex is good, right? But then also back in the day, you thought that was the shit too. Like, you know, you beating it up. You beat it up. You beat it up till she dry and then just like, no, bro, it's over. You should have been done a long time ago. You know what I mean? Yeah. It was this old D for no reason. Yeah. Once a girl, I think orgasms, I think that it's over. Like everybody get theirs. Yeah. One or two. If she gets two, you get two. I'm going to sleep. Boys. Y'all don't, y'all don't like at least count like, all right, let me get her like at least two or three. Oh no, I do. I do. I do. I make sure she gets one. That's it? At least one. What do you mean that's it? We got to be grateful, okay? No. There's poor starving girls out there that don't even have a single orgasm. No. But if I'm feeling, if I'm feeling like I haven't been giving her a lot of like love and affection lately, then I try to get two out of her or three plus head. What? Plus I get her head. No, you give her head. Yeah. I start with that. Every time. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy. You never warm it up. You never warm it up by just like you just lick your hand and then put it on the base of your dick and then just let her ride up and down. You got to start off with the mouth action. Nah, you're crazy. Get down there. Every single time? Every single time. Get down there, baby. That's the appetite to get down there. What if you guys did a long walk that day? Then what? She hops in the shower? She's about to be your wife. Yeah, but I don't care. No, no, no. She got to go in the shower. You got to show her that respect. Look through that musk or whatever that is, man. No, no, no. She got to go in the shower. Wait, she has to go in the shower first for you? Yo, you wash chicken before you cook it. Black people wash chicken before they cook it. You don't wash pussy before you eat it. That's crazy. We do wash that. We do wash. That's crazy. I'm not saying that's something we do on the regular. I'm just simply saying that. There was a whole viral campaign about white people not washing their chicken before we cook it. I'm just washing the pussy before I cook it. And by the way, bro, by the way, before I eat it, women know their body. So women ain't going to let you do that if they've got that not so fresh feeling. Exactly. So we've been walking around all day that maybe we just get right to the sex. So men do yourself a favor if a woman tells you no. You know what I'm saying? When it comes to going down and eating out, like, she's like, no, no, no, no, let me go take a shower. Just trust her. Trust her. Trust her. She does. Unless you got the N95 mask to go down there. Okay. All right. Other than that, leave it alone. All right, let's start. Let's do some positively brilliant. What a fucking idiot. What did you see this week that was positive? Man, let's talk about Carl, bro. Let's just do it, dawgs. The God, my guy, Carl. Thank God him, bro. Can I tell y'all these stories? All right. First of all, Carl's my guy. The reason Carl's my guy is because I give people the same grace that I would want God to give me. He cheated on his wife. He, you know, is holding himself accountable. As far as I'm concerned, that's between him, his wife, and God. That's it. I still don't agree with what Hillsong did as far as firing him and putting out the press release. I understand it. You know, now that I have a little bit more context, I just think that there was a way, let him step down. You know what I'm saying? And let him handle that in-house, you know, with his family. Like, there was no reason to publicly embarrass him and shame him in that way. They had a great opportunity to become incredibly relatable and understanding and live up to their Christianity, which is like forgiving people's mistakes. Yes. God literally said, we're all born sinners. He sends and to excommunicate them. Think about everybody that goes to that church right now that might have been unfaithful. How you think they feel in that church? Welcome. Yeah. You think that they want to be shunned. Yeah. I don't think they feel welcome. I think that they probably feel like they got to find another church now. I thought it was horrible and I hate any time religion feels like a business. Yes. When you say fired, it's like, who the fuck are you, bro? It's not a business. God, if you really believe in God is giving you this wisdom to pass on, you can't be firing anybody. Yeah. And listen, you know what? It triggered me because it brought me back to, you know, I grew up the whole of a witness and I used to hate when they used to disfellowship people because what they would do is one of the brothers would get on the stage and he would say, such and such has been disfellowship from the kingdom of Jehovah Witnesses. And literally, the people that were disfellowship, they can still come to the hall, but nobody talks to them. Now, I think that they're allowed to be spoken to outside of the hall. I don't remember. I'm not quite sure, but I just thought that was so wack. You publicly shame the person. And then when the person comes to the hall, nobody speaks to them. Like, you do that to a kid in school. That's bullying. That's bullying, bro. You do that to a kid in school. You call a kid out, and then nobody in the school talks to them. That kid might kill itself. And so for me, my dad got disfellowship. And at the time, my dad was dealing with like a lot of alcohol abuse and drug abuse. And I remember standing by the door, listening to the brothers talk to him in the library, the kingdom hall, and him explaining to them, you know, that he's got a problem. So when they disfellowshiped him, he never went back. You know what I'm saying? And that kind of turned me off from the kingdom hall as well. So when I saw what happened to Carl, it took me back to that. Like, I feel like in those moments, those institutions, man, that's what they're supposed to bring you in. Exactly. That's when you need them the most. Now, step down. It's past a fine. Yeah, of course. But don't tell... You don't got to put them on blast and all of this other stuff, right? Take a leave of absence so you can figure out your shit. Take a leave of absence so you can figure out his stuff. You protecting yourself, bro. That's what that was. He's holding himself accountable. I'm sorry that that's happening in his household. I hope things work out with him and his wife. Now, what is so funny, and I love... I love sequence, right? I got to tell you the sequence of this. Let me look and see what night this was. I think this was Saturday night. I got someone else to tell you that you don't know yet, but after you go through it, I got you. It's just going to add to it. It's just going to add to it. Okay, so Saturday night, Carl hits us up. He sends us a group text. He sends us a group text. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to say all the calls there, but it just makes it like, yo, we love you. Yada, yada, yada. Carl apologizes. Like, yo, I'm sorry if I let you guys down. Yeah, that's what he did. That's what he did. He hit us up and he was like, I'm praying for you both, but I got to get myself together. My shit is messed up. I'm just trying to get my life together. Yada, yada, yada. Right? So I go, yo, we love you, my brother. I hate how Hillsong did you, but I will get him the grace I feel like they didn't give you. Carl says, like, I appreciate you. It's been really hard. I'm trying to get my stuff together. Here comes Andrew Shokes. For no reason. All capital letters. Islam is the way. So I just put the laughing emoji. Come to find out. So the next, that night, it was literally that night you called me. No, because this was, what night was this? Let me see. I think that was that day and that night you called me. Nah, bro. This was Saturday. Oh, okay. I called you Tuesday or Wednesday. Okay. You called me a couple of days later. It's when the paper came out in the post because the young lady who Carl was cheating with, you know, came out and told her side of the story. The reason I died laughing because she's Muslim, to this asshole Andrew didn't know. He didn't know. I didn't know it wasn't out yet. Yo, but here's how I listen. So I literally was just making a joke. Right? I just make it jokes. Like it was Christian. Maybe he needs a new religion now. Yeah. This is going to be accepted. I got no fucking clue. But I get to call him Charlie, and he goes, you're not going to believe this. I go, what happened? He goes, you know the girl that Carl cheated with? I'm like, what, someone in the church? He goes, no, she's Muslim. Muslim. Because if you read the article in the New York Post, she's like, you know, her and Carl was sitting in the parking car was like, the most beautiful woman come from the Middle East. Right? My Muslim unicorn princess. He was saying it's a watch. You know you want that. I don't know if he really said all of that stuff. The moral of the story is that shit was funny when you connected dots between that story and Andrew just tweeting text in all capital letters, Islam is the way. Here's the thing. Carl messaged me individually. I hit him up after I heard the news a few days before. Right? And he was like, hey, my brother, I'm sorry I was about to reach out for you. I'm sorry I didn't, you know, message you. You know, this is, you know, some news is going to come out and blah, blah, blah. And I'm sorry I failed. I'm working on myself right now. All this kind of stuff like that. And I respond to that in all capitals just between me and him. Islam is the way. Right? But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Right? Right? So look, Charlotte. He didn't say nothing back. Right? He said nothing back. So when he messaged the both of us, I was like, I'm running this joke back. That's a good joke. That's a good joke. It's a good joke. That's a good joke. That's a good joke. That's a good joke. That's a good joke. That's a good joke. It's funny. Something, this joke needs laughs. This joke requires a reaction. And I knew. But now I know why he didn't react in the first place. Oh my God, man. That's why he, and now that I think about it, he texts back. He said something like, yo, show us if you need to do one in 15 minutes, turn the camera and roast on me. I understand it. And I was like over infidelity. Yeah. Right? But now it makes sense. He thought you knew. No, it's too crazy. It's too crazy. My thing is this, man. And I'm not making light of infidelity. I hate what's going on in that man's household. I come from a family who watched the household get broken up because of infidelity. It's actually one of the reasons that I stopped cheating, you know, four years ago, four years old, but four years clean. That's me. And the reason I stopped doing that is because I didn't want my household to end up the way my mother and father's household ended up, right? So I'm not making fun of that. I know that shit is hard. I used to listen to my mom sit in her room and listen to Lauren Hill X Factor over and over and be thinking she's the coolest mom in the world because she liked Lauren Hill, but no, she was actually hurting. You know, so I don't wish that on no woman. But that shit was funny. That shit was funny. That shit was funny, man. And you know what? It bugged me out about the young lady. Did you look at her pictures and were you like, is this a home wrecker worthy? No, I didn't even look at it. I didn't even really look at her pictures. I just read her article. I just found it strange that she would try to stand on some type of moral high ground. You knew what time it was. He acted like they're taking advantage of it. You knew what to do with Mary. You see the ring on his finger? He told you. She says in the article, I asked him if he was married. He said yes. And they used to have conversations about his wife and how amazing she was. And he felt so guilty about what he was doing to his family. And then at the end of the article, she was like, I hope more women come out. He didn't do anything to you. He didn't manipulate you. He told you exactly what it was. You participated. You don't have any moral high ground to stand on. He committed infidelity and you assisted. Why do you think that she did it? To be honest with you, I have no idea. I don't know why people do anything that they do nowadays. I don't even know how people's brain works anymore. Because she's a co-conspirator. I don't know why. No. There's not a married woman alive who feels sorry for you. Yeah. He told you he was married. You know what? My whole girl asked me. He hurt her feelings. He probably hurt her feelings. That's why she came out with it. But did he break it off? Because in the article, she was trying to say, I wanted to leave so many times. I don't think none of that matters. All I'm saying is she has no moral high ground to stand on. None. It takes two people to commit infidelity. Now, if he would have lied to her and been like, y'all, I'm not married. Me and my wife having problems. That's a different ball game. From what I read in that article, he said none of that. He actually told you that. I love my wife. She's amazing. I feel guilty about what I'm doing. You continue doing it. To me, that's just like, everybody just be quiet. Everybody just go to their corners and mind their business. Nobody needs to be doing no interviews. Nobody needs to be putting nobody on blast. It's nobody's fault. You know what I mean? Y'all met each other. Y'all connected. Y'all did what y'all did. Yeah. You know, this foul. Wait, what do you mean? I didn't say it's no one's fault. It's Carl's fault for cheating. It's Carl's fault for cheating on his wife, but as far as those two relationships, as far as that relationship with him and that other young lady, that's nobody's fault that they did what they did. They made a choice. They're adults who made a choice. Yeah, he should have cheated. He should have cheated. He shouldn't have cheated. But at the same time, it's like, that Hillsong firing him, that shit really irks me, bro. Me too, brother. That shit really irks me. Me too. That's not supposed to happen at a church. That's dog shit. That's some real dog shit thing to do. I don't like it either. I simply just don't like it. I understand it. I'm not saying that he should still be pastor, but to put out the press release and say he's fired and all of this and that. To cover your ass? And by the way. That's what they're doing, right? Yeah. And I hope that all of those other pastors in that church are as perfect as they are pretending to be in this moment. You know what I'm saying? Because if y'all get caught up, I want to see what y'all do to yourselves. I just, what happened to the idea that you're all born sinners? What happened? I mean, you can't be up there every single week, right? It's saying, listen, I'm just as guilty of you, of sinning and I'm trying my best to live my life in the image of God, but I'm not capable to because I'm not perfect. Only he is. And then when somebody does something that is imperfect, it is quite common, unfortunately. They get kicked out of the religion that's supposed to be all forgiving. Why the hell he died then? Why Jesus died? For what? For your sins? Apparently not for Carl's. Yeah. He's a morning man for the church to do it. Maybe there's more information I don't know about. Or maybe I wanted more context from the church. Like even if y'all, I can understand y'all wanting him to step down because he's a leader of the church. How about you want him to step down so he can work out? He can work on himself. That's what I would have wanted to see. I would have wanted to see Hill's song say, he has fallen short, he'll no longer be pastoring, but we will be helping him through this process. Like, you know, like, where's the forgiveness? Where's the grace is all I'm saying? Yeah, that's corny. I don't like that. Super corny. And we live in this world literally asking imperfect people to be held to a perfect standard. And don't give me wrong. It's not going to happen. It's impossible. Our standards are higher for religious folks, right? Especially for pastors and priests. To me, they are... Yeah, I mean, I get why... Listen, I totally get why. For me, no, because I know that they're human. I'm about the message. Yes. Not the message. I agree with you. And, yeah, and I think there's probably a lot of people that might be like feeling as if they should like discredit the help that Carl gave them right now. And I don't, I don't think you should because one, it could have been before all that. And even if it isn't before all that, it's like, you still were helped. You still were helped. The advice that you got was still valuable. It's like, sometimes we get advice from people who are doing the exact opposite, but they know more than anyone. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like your therapist don't need to be happy. Yeah. They might just need to understand sadness to a level that could help you. Deal with yours. By the way, if nobody's, if everybody's so-called perfect, you know, all of these people that we've gotten all of this wisdom and philosophy from over the years, all of this stuff has been an invalid. Like, is Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s words invalid? Yo. You know what I'm saying? That's a good point. I'm just saying, if you've ever been inspired by Bill Clinton, is his words invalid? Yo, don't be up there quoting Martin Luther King in church. Or anywhere. No, no, especially in Hillsong. I'm just saying, like if you're a pastor of Hillsong, don't be up there quoting Martin Luther King, but then excommunicate one of your guys for creating the same, like having the same moral shortcomings. That's what I'm saying, man. That's why. Making noise is useful cheating. I'm not trying to justify cheating. Like I said, I made a conscious decision to stop cheating four years ago. So clearly, it's something that I understand the severity of. But all I'm simply saying is, God damn, do we throw the baby out with the baptism? With the baptism? Like I'm just saying, like, God damn, don't throw the baby out with the baptism, man. Like let's help, like help the man. Yeah. You know, and by the way, help her too. Yeah. Bring her in. Because guess what? That's a new recruit, bro. And by the way, flip one. By the way, she's a sinner. I don't know why women act like if you cheat with a married man, you're not part of the infidelity. Well, she's also Muslim. So that's a sin too. I don't know. What is that? What do you mean? She's Muslim. She's not Christian. She's not living a Christian life. Oh, I don't. I mean, just like I imagine if you're Christian to a Muslim, you're sinning. Oh, I get what you say. Actually, can you sin? Can you only sin and live a sinful life of that religion? Like that's actually interesting. Do religions look at other religions as people sinning? Or they're like, no, they're following their belief system and they are a pious person. By the way, what the fuck is sin? What do you mean by that? Like, seriously, what is sin? Like, if you're not a religious person, right, take religion all the way out of it. You're just a human being living life. Yeah. What is sin? Because lying is a sin. Cheating is a sin. According to the Bible, sex before marriage is a sin. Eating pork is a sin. Be around me 14-8. But that's not, that's that old testament, that new testament. I'm just saying this shit. I don't know what the LeBron James brother says. All I know is, what is sin? Like, we all fall short as human beings. I need to know who these perfect people are that are going to heaven that have never committed a sin ever. Well, you don't got to be perfect to go to heaven. That's the beauty of it. You don't? Nah, I think, right? You just go, yo, Jesus my Lord and Saviour, this shit is confusing, right? Like, yo, if you cheat, you're going to hell. But then they tell you all dogs go to heaven. Like, what the fuck? You know what I'm saying? This shit is confusing. Like, what the fuck is good? This shit is confusing out here, bro. I don't know what the fucking do. This guy. This guy. This guy. I'm just saying. This guy. Also, who said all dogs go to heaven? That wasn't in Deuteronomy. It's a movie. It's a movie, but a lot of movies say things. Zootopia said a lot of shit. Animals don't get along like that. Yeah, man. I just want everybody to give people grace, man. Give people, give human beings the same grace you want God to give you. If that's too much, just give humans the grace you want other humans to give you. Yeah. Like, and I don't look at him just because he's a pastor or a reverend or whatever. I'm not, I promise you, I'm not holding him to no higher moral standard than I'm holding myself to or any man for that matter. He's still a man at the end of the day. I don't care how much he read the Bible. I don't care how much he's into God. Damn. It's pussy. That shit is hard to read. Middle Eastern uniform. I'm not making no excuses for him. Yeah. I'm just saying women are like, that's God's greatest creation, bro. Yes. You got to be strong. It should take willpower and it take discipline. That's all I'm saying. Taylor's not feeling this part of the conversation, but it's true, Taylor. It's true. That's God's greatest creation. Now, I've had this conversation before. The reason. Nocturnal image. I'm nocturnal image. I didn't even touch pussy. I was just thinking about it in a dream. I'm just saying if you love your wife so much. That's true. No, Taylor's right. That's all. And that's really what it boils down to. It boils down to love and loyalty. Like, right? Like I said, four years ago, when I was out there cheating, while I was leading with ego. I was a wounded individual. I was hurt. I was looking for things to fill me up. So, laying with a bunch of different women made me feel like the man, but that should be short lived. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. When you start doing the work on yourself and I started going to therapy and I started like really, I could feel myself healing. I did not want to lead with ego no more. I didn't have a wounded ego. So, I started pouring into myself in a different way. Therefore, I started pouring into my wife a different way and I did not want to break her heart. That shit is corny when you the guy, you laying up with your wife and you just, it's the mother of your children. You're supposed to be best friend and you lying to her and you going to sleep with her at night. You know what I mean? Knowing all this bullshit that you're doing. I personally, I can't live like that. Yeah. It's all about love and loyalty. Do you think that's what happened to Carl? What do you mean? I know we were talking about the phone, but like, you know, this happened during quarantine, right? So, all of a sudden, he can't do services four times on a Sunday. You know, he's got a mythical like presence in front of these people. Yeah. Pat him on the back to give him applause. He's probably filled that void that he's got inside of him. And then all of a sudden, quarantine shuts it down. Nobody out there clapping and patting him on the back. Maybe he didn't even realize that part of his emotional diet was having that applause. Yeah. You got to get your hallelujahs from somewhere. Real talk. All I know is nobody's above sin, whatever the fuck sin is. That's nice. And just give people grace, man. Like what the fuck? And then everybody pointing fingers like no, you're the bad guy. Yo, I'm the bad guy. You're the bad brother. You remember. All of y'all, all of y'all bad. Yeah. Like book definition. Yeah. The woman who's cheating with the married man, the married man who's cheating. Yeah. All of y'all that are judging him because he's a reverend and he's cheating. That don't make it no better just because you work at the porta-potty place and you cheat. You know what I'm saying? It's all wrong. Infidelity is wrong. It don't matter what you are. Yeah. If you're married, infidelity is wrong. Bro, God's rolling his eyes at this because his whole point was, I told you you were all wrong. Like do you not pay attention from the beginning? I told you you all sin. Yeah, I am not going to lie. I do feel like, you know what, based off that logic, I do agree that boy, when you absolutely do right though, God will bless you. God will be like this motherfucker here. Deserve some unicorn pussy. What the fuck are you talking about? What? What? I think God respects it. Because listen, they say God knows our heart, right? Yeah. So God knows. And I don't even like to say how hard it is because it's really not hard. I promise you, it's kind of, it's literally like your diet. When you start eating right, that's a great way. When you start eating right and you cut out the sugars and the carbs and everything else, it's not hard. First week? First couple weeks, sir. It's all about discipline and changing your mindset. So it's that hard. I don't want people to think that. It's just that, yes, women are very beautiful. You know what I'm saying? And it's always slight temptation. It's also don't put yourself in that position. That's true also. What's the position? Missionary. Don't put, no. Don't put yourself in that situation. Like you went to go meet her. Like you mean like. Nah. They met at like a prayer thing in the park. Yeah. That's fine. Yeah. But then leave. Imagine you just finished saying a prayer and then you open your eyes and it's just beautiful and just sitting there. Just sitting there. God works in mysterious ways. Praying in doggie style. I'm just saying. Yo, that's another thing people don't realize, bro. All right. We just wish the best for everybody in the world in this situation. Woo-hoo. Oh, this guy is so crazy. What's that? What else we got? Politically bro. What a fucking idiot. Dave Chappelle on SNL. What'd you think? Uh-oh. No, no, no. I mean, it's Dave. You know what I'm saying? I'm not. It's not funny. No. I'm not going to say that. Taylor jumps out the window. She does, bro. Taylor comes out swinging. I thought Dave was. I thought Dave was Dave. Yes. I don't know what I call Dave anymore. Yo, my boy Robbie just said it brilliantly. He's like, now Dave is a speech giver. And he's going to give brilliant speeches. He's going to have like poignant observations and he's going to say things that we all feel but articulate them in ways that nobody else can. But his first priority, it appears, isn't packing it with punchlines, but rather like packing it with nutrition. And he's like amazing at it. But those are the best comics to me though. Like, and honestly, I think Dave has always been like that. I think Dave. He just had more like silliness and punchlines early on. Everything you watch, everything you've ever watched Dave do has always been a message behind it. Chappelle's show was the same way. Like even though it was funny, there was always a broader messaging. And that's what I get from him doing SNL. Like it's just, it's capped. The way he's able to captivate people is what's amazing to me. So yeah, when you asked me what did I think of it, I hadn't thought about what I thought of it because honestly, that's just Dave. Chappelle to me. That's what you expect of him now. I think I've always expected that even when I go to when I go to his standups, don't get me wrong, it's funny as fuck, but it's still more so the messaging. You know what I mean? It's the broader messaging of how straight people in LGBT people can get along. You know, how black people and white people can get along. You know what I mean? How black people would need, what we need to do to improve. Like it's always something deeper there and you laugh, you know, a while you gotta rebel against cancel culture. Like it's always messaging. I've never not gone to Dave Chappelle's show and not saw messaging. Even his SNL bit, I thought it was funny as fuck. It wasn't like the 846 thing. 846, there was no punch line. Right, right, right. This was punch line. He had jokes. You just had to, you know, I guess pay attention to catch him, but I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is one of those people that I enjoy watching, listening to. Yeah. I just like Dave Chappelle. Yeah, he's brilliant. Yeah, he's brilliant. I wonder if like, he's earned our patience. You know, we were talking about this on Flagon, how like, Carlin, by the end of his career, like if you just saw the end of his career, you were like, man, just yelling. But for people who followed him throughout his whole career, they're like, oh no, he's so funny that he doesn't need to be funny every second. A brand new comic that we haven't heard of, you better be funny, funny, funny. We're not giving you no grace. That grace I was just talking about? I know. We're giving you the Hillsong treatment. You're fired. You're out of here, bro. Now mind you, I love a good bombing. Okay? Yes, you do. I do. You hear me laughing at a comedy show I've already told you, I was because you're bombing or you're really funny. And if you're really, really funny, because I'm so listening. You're absorbing it. That was brilliant. You know what I mean? And I know how it is being a comedian when y'all are trying to move on to the next thing. I love comedians that give you that moment. That's when you know a motherfucker. That's big dick energy as a comedian, bro. What's that? When they lay that joke out and they know they get an audience a second to catch their breath. You know what I mean? That's the kind I like. Some of y'all do that shit. Y'all throw that shot up thinking y'all gonna give us a moment to catch our breath. And we're breathing. We're breathing. We're good. We have enough oxygen. We got it. This wasn't funny. Yeah, I don't know. That's just the thing for me, at least like Dave, I'm just so intrigued by him as a person. And I said this a while back about Dave. And I was like, I almost think that like just telling jokes is beneath him at this point because there are certain things that like he probably will want to say without jokes and to feel as if he can't speak unless he's being funny. I'm sure you start to resent that a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like if you just want to talk to folks about the interesting things, you should be able to do that. Yeah. And I think that I hope that he's starting to realize that he can do that and we're interested. Maybe not the new generation of kids who don't really know Dave and they're just seeing this version. They might be like, yo, why is this old guy upset in the same way they felt that way about Carlin? Yeah. But all of us that came up with him are like, hey, bro, just talk, man. You gave us tons of funny. We are here to listen. But that's why it's good Chappelle shows on Netflix now. That's why it's good. You know, his stand-up specials are on Netflix because we have that material to draw from. Everybody always wants the old version of you in the new you. That's done. You know what I mean? Like, don't expect the old me anymore. I'm not that person. But you can go listen to all that old shit. Same thing. Like motherfuckers can't understand why we think Jay-Z is the best. Well, you're not going to get it if you listen to 444. You know what I mean? 444 is a culmination of everything from reasonable doubt to blueprint, to heart and intellect. We've watched this guy go all the way around the world seven times and bring us back to here. I've been following the journey. I appreciate 444 because the brother that used to be talking about big pimping and fucking girls and kicking them out after five minutes is now the married man who's raising his children, who's dealing with infidelity himself and trying to figure it out and going to therapy like trying to be a better him. That's why we appreciate Jay. You're not going to appreciate that if you didn't follow the journey. Yeah, I wonder that. I wonder if artists that don't have a journey, it doesn't need to be necessarily like evolving as a human being or like changing who you are but like growing more. I wonder if we have a way deeper connection with those artists. Yes. When you follow the journey, listen, same thing with Chappelle, right? Chappelle and Chris Rock, it's almost like they're in overtime. Yeah. They won already. You did it, bro. They're not even on the court with us no more. They don't rush more. No, they don't rush more. When you see them, you're getting a treat for me. Yeah. For me, I've seen them become who they are. Same thing with Eddie Murphy. Yes. I'm not judging Eddie Murphy because the fucking Dolomite, even though Dolomite was great. Yeah. Coming to America too, coming out in his whack. That shit don't put a stain on Eddie's legacy to me. Yeah, yeah. Like Eddie still Eddie. Certified. I enjoyed him but what I get a thrill out of is watching Andrew Schultz, watching 85 South Show. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Watching Little Duvall. You know what I mean? Watching Amanda Seals, even watching Donnell, even though he's a hater, but watching all of these people who are still growing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And growing into like just these like just like watching Jesylarus. When I see her, you know that skit she put up online yesterday about after a girl cheats and how they questioned themselves in the car. That shit was funny as fuck. But I love shit like that because I remember that energy. Yeah. You know what I mean? That person that you looking at and they on the grind, they pushing, they trying to make it and you see them to their own and becoming these undeniable beasts. That shit gives me a rush. Yeah. Like my brother, the other day I said, it was during donkey today and I was just, I was just saying, I said, yo, that shit is funny. I said, that shit is Dave Chappelle, Andrew Schultz funny. I was using y'all as metaphors, right? And I saw people on YouTube saying, how you put Andrew Schultz and Dave Chappelle in the same sentence? Just wait on it. Okay. Just wait on it. You know what I mean? That's all I'm saying. Just wait on it. We just have to, we're all in a different generation of that and being that we have a Dave, we have a Chris Rock, we have an Eddie Murphy. Yeah. We can see the process. So when I look at a you, when I look at a 85 South show, I'm looking at the trajectory seeing where y'all can go. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. So yeah. Is it that some people still expect the same, I guess, level of their art, regardless of how old they get or how long they've been doing it. And why is it that why is it that some people can't just look look at like what we get from Eddie and be like how lucky did we get even a little bit on SNL or whenever Dave decides to drop something why is it we can't look at him and be like how awesome that we get that or Jay drops a verse like maybe we should be looking at that verse like okay it's not an album but like how cool is it we get a Jay Z verse. People here at Jay verse and be like Drake better like Kendrick is better this is like yo this dude has been doing it for 30 years exactly when I hear Jay verses like I'm like yo this dude is he's his mind is different now he's a different human like he's unlocked a different level he's accessed he's accessed something those young guys even though they're still dope haven't accessed yet and that's the beauty of life that's why I said all of those guys man that's why you gotta salute the OGs who are still active because the OGs that are still active are showing you what the now people are going to become you know what I mean like that shit is gonna be great it's gonna be great it's great to watch it all it's great to watch the maturation process of all of these people but when they get Dave's age Eddie's age Chris's age Hove's age and they're still putting out art I'm gonna appreciate that too yeah because I saw the journey yeah you know what I mean we don't respect the journey of people no more man. Yo we don't on the surface but like in terms of how devout we are as like fans of people I think we kind of do because those are the people we stick with you know what I mean like Snoop Dogg is still around bro. Snoop Dogg is still around and I feel like he's just as maybe I don't know just as like just as relevant at least within our generation as he was maybe maybe even bigger right maybe bigger but if it's crazy his his evolution was wild man from like gangster rapper I think he was like producing pornos at one time like he had a talk show had a murder charge he had a murder and then he did a Martha Stewart show. My daddy made me cut my afro because I had a big ass afro and I used to wear chuck tailers when Snoop had that that's how big Snoop was Snoop had a murder charge and he was he's always been a household name since he's been on the scene yeah every adult always knew who Snoop Dogg was even now yeah and my daddy was like you cutting your head because you think you Snoop Dogg you dog Snoop on goddamn trial for murder like literally they understood the influence that these people had on us so to watch Snoop go through all of that and still grow to be him family man married kids like you said TV show and Martha Stewart fucking corona commercials all types of shit like Snoop is like yo he's on every commercial he really is dude I don't even know I don't even know what the fuck he be advertising like oh that's Snoop again yeah and I you can't do nothing but love it you know why because he's remained him the whole time so maybe the keys you got to change is like oh you got to but so that's the thing it's like sometimes we get upset if people evolving right because it because they're maybe changing aspects about themselves that we liked but the reality is if you give people the same product for too long they're gonna get tired of that product bro if you're not evolving who are you like seriously you like we live in a you you evolve a die yeah like you can't like it's impossible it's impossible to remain the same there's a quote man hold on and I actually saw it I actually it's so fun we had Nikki Giovanni on the breakfast club and um I posted this quote the day before who is that Nikki Giovanni she's that poet uh artist author activist but she's older she's 77 she said mistakes are a fact of life it is the response to error that counts and you we don't allow people to make mistakes no more you understand I'm saying so being that we don't allow people to make mistakes everybody especially now wants to stay the same they don't want to rock the boat so if they get into a position if they if they if they get into a position where people expect this from them and that's safe we like that version of you you know you're you're you're not problematic you're not doing or saying anything that's offending people yeah people don't even realize they become characters characters of that themselves yeah and that is that don't last because it's fake you gotta make mistakes it's the response to the error that makes you grow it's the response to the error that makes you evolve what do you mean by response to the error like I made a mistake yeah how am I gonna respond to that mistake how are you gonna change how are you gonna tone how am I just yeah how am I gonna respond to that mistake how am I gonna tone for it how am I going to grow from it How am I going to evolve from it? That's why we always say like there's no such thing as a loss, right? It's just a lesson, you know? So I have to respond to that era that I made in a healthy way. You respond to it in a healthy way, you grow. You respond to it in a healthy way, you evolve. If you tuck your goddamn tail and stay in your bed and put your sheets over your head and don't try to respond to it at all, you just stagnant, you know what I mean? Or if you never try to... If you're not making a mistake, you're just not trying hard enough, bro. Yeah, if you're never trying to be unique or different or going yourself, you're not going to make mistakes. No, I don't try... If you think that you're just going to go through this whole thing, unscathed, you're never going to say nothing that's going to bother nobody. You're never going to say nothing that's going to offend somebody. You're never going to do something that's going to offend somebody. You're playing it too safe. And the late great jazz fly used to always say, you can be great or you can be safe, but you can't be both. And I truly feel that way. You can be great or you can be safe, but you can't be both. You know what's fucked up is we value greatness. We hate people that play it safe, but we don't give people the grace to make mistakes. To make the mistakes that will in turn make them great. So we love the finished products or we love when you are great in the moment. And the second we found out the shit that you had to do to get there, we're like, oh, no, no, no, I get out of here. That's fucked up. Don't be enjoying the product. You know what it is? It's like enjoying some like a veal. You know what I mean? Like the food veal. They'll be banging. It slaps. And then you find out it's baby cow. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, this is horrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, whatever, bruh. That should be slapping, bro. It's more tender. You know what I'm saying? It's more tender. Is that a good day young? The good day. A good meat die young, baby. I'm just saying. Chris is on the other end like, meat eaters. They say meat is destroying the planet, bruh. That's what they're saying, bro. What a weird meat that's destroying the planet. We are the meat that's destroying the planet. Somebody need to come eat us. Exactly. It's not cows, it's us. Like I hate it when they do that shit. They're like, oh, to fix a plan when we stop eating cows. To eat us, motherfucker. Cow's is doing exactly what the fuck they're supposed to be doing. Cow's mind is in business. They eat their grass. It's us. We to meat, that's the problem. But no, this, I'm saying allow people to make mistakes because when you allow them to make mistakes, you allow them to grow. You allow them to evolve. Everybody that I just named, that's great. They've all made horrendous mistakes. You know what I mean? But it helped them grow. That's what I'm telling you. My favorite thing to watch is the growth process. Yeah. I love it. I love it. Like I love, like I said, I love watching with 85 South Shore. I love watching Just Alas. I love watching you. I love, I love the grass. She gives me a rush like, yo, that's what the fuck I'm talking about. And especially when you can, when you know what the end could be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And by the way, the end for, the end for anybody in this era is going to be greater than them. Right, right. Because we saw what they done. So we have to try to push past that. They're the bar. You're going to do that. You're going to do that naturally. Yeah. You know why? Because you're competing with those legacies already. Yeah. That's just unbelievable. Like people don't realize how people, we always talk about Michael Jordan. Yeah. And his impact on the league. Do you know how many great superstars we got? Because they tried to be like Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kobe, Kobe, just because they strive for that level of greatness. Yeah. Just because they weren't afraid to make mistakes. Yeah, you become the motivation. Michael Jordan went through that. So you don't have to go through that. Kobe went through that. So you don't have to go through that. Just they were the, they became the bar just because they had something to aspire to. That was like, oh shit. Yeah, that's true. That is the beauty of life right there in a nutshell. What else did we see this week? I hope people can, I hope people can learn how to appreciate that. I think a lot of people do. And I think that's why there's a lot of people that get upset by cancel culture and these types of things. It's whack, man. I know they know it's whack. And I think there's some people are just like, I want to be able to say whatever I want to say. But I think there's also people who understand the process of becoming like a full human being. And you're going to make mistakes on the way. That Nikki Giovanni quote, I asked her about that quote. Nikki said, she said, if you're not willing to contradict yourself, you're not growing. And she said, that's why she doesn't go back and read her old work. Because I'm different now. And she says, if I go back and read my old work, when I write now, I'll try not to contradict myself. It's impossible. You're going to. There's things that I thought 10 years ago. I don't think like that now. Yeah, same thing. Say what? Malcolm Gladwell said the same thing. Oh yeah, when he was in Brittany, as he did. Malcolm said, and remember I got upset because I was like, probably, your shit is like a bible to me. That's a good point that you just said that I was because I thought about that, even writing my books. In the future, you're going to feel differently than the shit you put down on paper. But guess what? There's somebody out there growing the same way that I was growing. So that information, I gave them in a black privilege. Exactly. I gave them some steps for where I was at in my life at that moment. When you're ready for the next step, then you go grab shook one. This is me going through therapy. And then the next book will be another version of that. That's transformation. Exactly. So it's just like same thing with Malcolm Gladwell. Malcolm Gladwell was like, yeah, the 10,000 hours, that's why I was at then. You know what I mean? You might, I might still apply some of it to my life now, but for the most part, no. But for somebody else on the come up, that moment in time, they need that right now. You know what I mean? Like everybody's not, everybody's, some people are farther along in their evolution and growth than other people. You need the inspiration for each step. You need the inspiration for each fucking step. So that's what Niki Giovanni said. She said, yeah, if you're not, if you're not willing to contradict yourself, then you're not growing. Yeah. And that's real. That's fire. That's fire. That's real. You got to be willing to be a contradiction. I'm not fucking like, that's a bad thing. You're contradicting yourself. You're contradicting yourself. So the fuck what? Yeah. Cheating my mind. What the fuck? So what? I got more information. Yeah. I learned a little bit more. I got some new experiences. So the fuck what? I was insecure. I was insecure. How much of a shit we did is just because we're insecure. All of it. Literally. Literally. All of it, bro. Yeah. God damn it. I didn't like myself enough. Imagine you just start saying that. Imagine you keep realizing, why would you say that? Well, I just didn't like myself enough. You do say that when you go to therapy. I say that all the time. I mean, like publicly, that was the answer. Like, how could you tweet such a thing? I was feeling insecure and I was lashing out at other people because I wasn't happy. Man. Like, what are you going to say to me if I say that? Like, I didn't mean it. I had all to do with myself. I wasn't there. Sorry to hurt people. Last Friday I was in therapy. And I was talking about a couple of things that happened over the past couple of weeks. And I connected it to when I was young, growing up in Monk's corner, wanting to be accepted by people. You know what I'm saying? So I would do whatever I needed to do to be accepted by this crowd. Right? So if you're in the street, you're doing street shit. You know what I'm saying? And your thought process, mine was always like, I know I would have these people back if something went down, but would they have mine? You know what I mean? Like if a fight broke out, guns used, whatever. I know what I would do just to prove that I'm down with them, but would they have my back? And full circle as an adult, there was a couple of situations that happened. And I was like, how do I know that that person really down for me in this way? You know what I mean? And it really did make me feel like I felt when I was a kid, just seeking approval. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like wanting to know, like really beating myself up. Like I know I would do anything to be approved by these folks, but I don't know if they would have my back. So in the future, like now, it's like I didn't put myself out there for these people. Where they at right now? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. And my therapist was just like, they're very busy. She was like, because I was explaining the whole situation there. And she was like... People have lives. They're busy. And she was like, but you're also telling me that this person does say X, Y, and Z to you. And this person does reach out for this. And this person does reach out for that. And I'm like, I'm sitting there thinking to myself like, holy shit, she's right. Like I just wanted to be to show up the way I wanted to show up. Yeah. Yeah. But it's showing up. Like she, the person is giving me the validation that I need and letting me know they're down for me. But I wanted a certain way to being that I wanted a certain way. I can't even see how I'm actually receiving it. Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, holy fucking shit. But it's just amazing how all of that she can bring you back to what you just said that insecurity, that not feeling like you're enough and wanting validation from other people. Because when you're feeling insecure, you can see the world through that. Like if you're not feeling you're enough, every interaction you have is seeking to justify that. Right? Like you talking to somebody and then they look bored when you're talking to them. And then you're like, that's probably because I'm born. Not because that motherfucker didn't sleep at all the day before. Or because he's looking for a text from his wife or his kids. Yes, like you don't know what they're doing. But you look at, if you're feeling this good, you can only justify that one feeling you have. And on the same level, it's like if you're feeling really good about yourself, you're only justifying that too. Like if you're feeling really good about yourself and somebody look at your phone, you might find some crazy justification about how dope you are. Yeah, they'll probably write that shit down. Yeah, we don't deal with our insecurities enough, man. Yeah, we're not supposed to. Nah, we definitely. No, we are, but like culturally, we're not supposed to. Like we're not even supposed to be. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, as a man, insecurity. Let me tell my dad I was insecure back in the day and watch out fast. He called me a maggot. Okay. And replace that M with an F. I'm serious. Like, I'm mean. It's secure. It's secure. Why you don't get outside and go there and play some football or something? Like seriously, like insecure, the fuck is secure? That is the worst part about being a man, bro. We not supposed to express our vulnerabilities, man. That shit is fucked up. And that is why we created a generation of motherfuckers that was toxic as shit. But that's why we're funny though, too. Yeah, that's the thing that nobody wants to admit. It's true because women are okay expressing their insecurities and then they don't develop roasts. We're dudes. We can't. So we just got to roast the shit out of our friends. Got to roast the shit out of you. I feel horrible. So I got to make you feel bad like me. That's all it was, yo. Everybody I used to tease in school, I was, first of all, I was shooting first. You didn't even let it get to you. I went through that sixth or seventh grade year getting bullied. All of y'all getting, I'm gonna fuck. It's over. Who in this room got it? So everybody getting sprayed. All right. Don't give a fuck. And that's how it used to be. So you come off as a bully. But you're really just defending yourself because you've been bullied. I used to wear glasses and had a fanny pack and used to get body slams every fucking day. When them glasses hit the ground that day and shouted, I said, it's all I know. I had a fucking enough. All right. You used to wear glasses? Did I used to wear glasses? Hell yeah, I used to wear glasses. I might post that picture one day. It's out there. It's a glass, it's a, it's a, it's a, my glasses and the glasses are crooked because I used to get fucking beat up every day and bully by my cousins. And if it's crooked with one fucking lens, there's literally a sixth grade picture, shit is like that. I look at that little boy, I see that hurt in that little boy's eyes. Why did you fix him though? You've become the worst mother fucker you possibly can be. Wait a minute, why? It's a supervillain story, bro. He's a supervillain. He's really a supervillain. But that's how you got to be though. You got to turn into the baddest mother fucker. So no one fucks with you, yeah. And I'm not even talking about some violent shit, just that mother fucker's crazy. Why didn't you just, you know, change your glasses for the picture though? Well, excuse me, Ms. Laura Marion House, who grew up, you know, with a house itself of $800,000, okay. All right, we'd have no money, Taylor. No, what'd you say, they were crooked. You could, like your ears aren't crooked, why don't you just... She right though, she right. If the glasses were like this, just rotate that bitch down. All right, the glasses were fucked up, the glasses were bitched. Her logic is bad, buddy. Your ears ain't crooked, you just put the glasses on, right? Let's take some bills. Sorry to stop so abruptly, but that's how it goes sometime. All right, let's talk about quip.

I don't have any church announcements. Just simply the Black Effect Podcast Network. That's it. Black Effect Podcast Network. What did we put out this week? Evgeny K. Williams is out now, holding court, new episode. She's talking about the MVP, Madam Vice President Kamala Harris, Tesla Figaro's great shot. No chaser is out. Gangster Chronicles is out. New episode of All The Smoke is out. What else is out, Taylor? Oh, damn. Oh, yeah, the GZ thing. Yeah, GZ. That's something that we're going to be doing at the Black Effect Podcast Network. We're going to be doing specialty podcasts, limited edition podcasts, for when people have projects coming out. So GZ's Recession 2 album is coming out, so he's doing a podcast every week. And every podcast episode is in conjunction with a theme from a song off his album. So by the time his six episodes, I think it's six to eight episodes, by the time the episodes are done, you'll know exactly why he did a podcast with Tony Robbins or whoever else he has coming up. The first episode is a conversation between GZ and Tony Robbins. Get out of here. Oh, yeah, because GZ loves Tony Robbins. He loves Tony Robbins. Literally when me and GZ sat down a while ago, he was like, man, I need to get Tony Robbins. And it just so happened, I had literally just did something with Tony Robbins. I had, when I say I had just did something with Tony, I had just did something with Tony like the week before. So I had that relationship. Can you speak about that at all or what? What do you mean? The thing you did with Tony. I'm fascinated by him. It was out, it came out. It was a panel. It was a panel, I don't know where it aired, but it was me, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Tony Robbins. I mean, it was just something, it was something that we did like a while ago. It was over the summer that we did, we did it. Because I remember it was in June, because it was like, as a matter of fact, it was the day Jazz died. But the day I got the news that she died. And what was your reaction to him? Like, what'd you think about him? Tony? Yeah, legit. See, I mean, he seemed like he knew what he was talking about to me. I mean, I've always known that Tony Robbins and, you know, Can you break down like what he is? He's a past, isn't he? Or like who he does to people? No, not really, it's not religious. He's not? He's like a motivational speaker, but like motivates people like with their lives. He helps them with incredible like tragic things going on, you know. And he's a giver. He's a hell of a philanthropist. You know what I'm saying? So I don't, I mean, I think he's genuinely saved probably thousands of lives, like people on the verge of suicide. I think he's saved thousands of lives. I mean, a reason I probably say he's legit is because people always have negative things to say about him. Yes. I'm serious. I mean, I like, I don't, I don't trust people that don't have a strong group of people that negatively have something to say about them. Yeah. That's that's my type of person. I like polarizing people. I like people that people love hard or hate. And then I like people that, I like the opposite of people that hate them just as hard. Because that lets me know that person's somewhere in the middle. So therefore that means he's being real. Yeah. That means he's authentic. Whatever it is, he's been authentic at it, you know. So salute to him. What? Trump. What do you mean? And say that same definition with him. He's authentic. You think he's authentic? Trump? Oh, I thought he just cares about himself. That's authentic? No, but I mean, he'll, snake oil salesman, like he'll just sell you whatever just. No, he's authentic. He's too consistent not to be authentic. I think he's phony though too. Like I think there's some phony in him. I think it's some showmen in him. Yeah. But like, which can be performative can become off his phony. Yes. Like I think like he'll say what needs to be said to get what he wants, but that way. By the way, I've never said I dislike Trump. I just said I don't want him to be president because I understand he's dangerous. I find that motherfucker extremely entertaining. And we've said on this podcast a million times, if he wasn't president, he'd be the funniest person alive. Can't wait for the news network. I can't wait for the Trump news network. Oh, you know the Trump news network is coming. That's why Fox is shaking in there. Yes. So long story short, go check the GZ Recession podcast on Black Effect I Heart Radio. It's available wherever you get podcasts now. Now, shit we won't care about next week. You're absolutely right, Schultz. Trump news network is coming. And it was coming before he was president. That was the point apparently. That was the plan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They think he was just trying to... He didn't think he was going to win. He was just trying to get big enough in that space. To start a medium. The way he can launch a news network. Yeah. That's where the whole fake news and all that. He told you about fake news. Now I'm going to give you all the real shit. His version of the real shit. Yeah. I'm... Listen, I watch Fox now. Of course. You think I'm not going to watch the Trump news network? Yo, you need to... I need to hear that bullshit. You need to watch both. I need that bullshit in my life. That's the thing. You need to watch both to get a decent idea of what the fuck is going on. Because the left is going to tell you the left side. Right is going to tell you the right side. That's right. The only way to be in the middle is to listen and watch both of them. That's right. But yeah, what I'm thinking is he's fucking over Fox big time. Because a lot of those cats on Fox are going to run right over the Trump immediately. If he got the money to pay him. Why wouldn't he? I mean, it's going to cost to get a shot on Hannity. I mean, for a startup, unless he gives Sean equity in the company, you know what I mean? Something to that nature. Sean Hannity makes a lot of money at Fox, bro. You don't think that they'll be like people lining up to support this venture? I'm not going to put up his own money. At Fox, Trump, I go grab... I go grab Bill O'Reilly. You know what I'm saying? Bill ain't been on TV in a minute. I go grab Tommy Lauren. Tommy's not full time on Fox. You need Tucker. I go get Candace Owens. You got to get Tucker. You think so? Yeah, because Tucker runs that shit, bro. You put... But Bill can be... Tucker is in Bill's old time slot now. So, Bill gets busy again? Yeah, he put Bill on eight o'clock. Yeah, interesting. Put Bill on. I saw it. Go get Alex Jones. Yeah, it's a wild boy. Like I'm just saying, there's a lot of different conservative voices you can go get. What's the other dude name? Um, he might not leave Fox, but he's not like a... Is he a full contributor on Fox? What's dude name? Hold on. Who? I'm going to tell you right now. I see his... I've never listened to his podcast. I've seen him on CNN every now and then. What does he look like? Oh, I'm going to tell you what his name is right now. His name is Dan Bongino. I don't know. Oh, Dan. I mean, I don't know him. I just see his podcast as always number one. Really? Always. Always. I've never heard of his... Even overrogan. Dan Bongino. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan Bongino. I don't know who... I don't know him personally. I've seen him on Fox a couple of times, but... Yeah, go grab some of them. All I'm saying is that Trump knew that we're going hit. Yeah. Let's go ahead. Let's go ahead. I was saying Trump going to go to jail, but what you said last week make a lot of sense. Like, yo... Bro, that's a weird-looking human being, though. He looks like a Lego. That's a weird-looking human being, bro. Look at this guy, y'all. That's crazy, dude. Oh my God. Because it needs to fit into the hat. You know the main reason nobody should be celebrating if you're a Democrat? Why? Because it took acts of God in order for Joe Biden to win the presidency. Yeah. There's no COVID? Yeah, he not... Donald Trump's re-elected. He not was. There's no COVID? Donald Trump's re-elected. You needed something that was this catastrophic to showcase Trump's ineptitude. It's like, we act like being president is the hardest thing. You said this to me once, when you were talking about the Daily Show. I think it was like, if Trevor was going to be able to do okay when he came in, and you were like, the Daily Show is a... How'd you say? It's a system. It's a system. Like, you could put somebody else in the system, but that thing has a lot of moving parts, and those moving parts are going to continue to move regardless who's at the helm. And I think that's the same with America. Like, I really think any idiot could run America because there's so many other people that have responsibilities. Not any idiot. Let me make the full point. During luxury, during time, when times are good, the economy's humming and all that kind of stuff, I think any idiot could do it more or less. Maybe not an idiot, but I don't think... Anybody would comment since. Yeah, you could... You don't have to be a genius scholar. Exactly. Academic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, right? But a pandemic really exposes your leadership. You got to be able to lead through a pandemic, and his leadership was never for the whole country. Because he's not willing to listen. Because that's the other thing about a president and the same thing about when you put him in the system. George Bush can sit there and read the book upside down. Because he knows he's about to be told what to do by a hundred different people. And all the fuck he got to do is listen and deliver this piece to the writers right for him. Trump can't do it. He's incapable of following a system. He's incapable of listening to anybody except for that person that's inside his head. Because he's never worked within the systems. He's always worked outside of them. You know what I mean? Like, even when it comes to the development deals or even his own show or all these things, he's always been the boss. Literally, people have always said that thing about what if he ran a country like a business? It's like, well, that's what he's doing and it doesn't work like that. That's not what countries are. They're not a business. When you're a steak restaurant, you only got to appease the motherfuckers that eat steak. When you run a country, you got to appease the motherfuckers that eat vegan shit, that eat shrimp, that don't eat nothing at all. You got to appease everybody. That is the other thing that they showed us. We always say Democrats have too wide a tent. They're trying to please too many people. There is something in the middle. You can't be like Trump and just cater to one base. You can't please everybody because if you try to please everybody, you'll end up pleasing nobody. But there's got to be some type of middle ground that people can find. And I think it comes down to just taking the basic essentials that humans need. First of all, we just want to feel safe. Right? Equality. That's the shit to America promises us, right? Can we get some of that? Right? That's number one. Financially stable, right? Education. Healthcare. Health and basics. And by the way, some people don't want the education. But education to me don't just mean school. It mean like job training. Send people to carpentry class. Traits. Traits. You know what I mean? People just want to be able to know how to do something, know how to make money from it, and feel safe. Survive, man. Feel safe. Yeah. That's all we want in America. Low key. That's what the majority of people voted for. Yes. Right? They voted for safety and security. Yes. They were tired of the culture war. They were tired of the exhausting daily nonsense that went along with, and it's not just Trump, but how the media follows Trump and how everything is inflated. People were tired of that. They're like, it's too much. I don't want this. I want- I don't know, though. Because listen, shows, we say people were tired of it. Everybody's like, oh, Joe Biden broke. Joe Biden had the most votes ever in the president. Trump had two. But here's the thing. Trump was number two. I said the majority of people were tired of it. I didn't say all. And I think the majority of people, because the tricky thing also for Democrats, and I feel almost bad because I was shitting all over Democrats for the last year for the candidates they ran. But given the fact that the pandemic happened, they actually ran a perfect candidate. They got lucky with that. But the tricky thing for Democrats is how do you appeal to minorities and rural whites or whatever the fuck they call those white people? Basically, poor whites. By giving them essentials. But yeah, here's the thing. What's interesting is that usually by appealing to minorities, those whites allegedly get annoyed because they're like, oh, they're going to take our jobs or they're going to take our opportunity. They're going to take things away from us. So that's why they tend to skew conservative because conservatives will play into them and not into the minorities as much. But what happened with Biden was really interesting is Biden was able to appeal to those rural whites because that's kind of like what he is. I'm from Scranton and all that kind of stuff. But at the same time, outside of the crime bill, you couldn't really call him racist because who was he in the office with for eight years? Yeah, that wasn't enough for me though. Wasn't it for you? But for the average voter, it was way more than some other white stiff. Like if you just had some other white stiff there, you could point paying him as complete racist way easier than you could pay by it. Because if he's such a racist, why would Obama have him there for eight years? I think you made great points. But COVID, bro. I don't think none of that works without COVID. But you're right. But how ironic is it or maybe it's not even ironic that like Obama picks Biden specifically because he's like, this will make the white people comfortable. You picked the most conservative Democrat you can find. Right? He's like, this is how I'm gonna get the whites comfortable with me. I wouldn't have got the guy that locked up. Ten to thousands of black men. You know, tough on crime, Joe. Those crime bills he wrote with Scrom Thurman. You remember all that, right? That's him. Well, the other side of the sea saw just happen. Yeah. I don't know. It's an interesting election. I know that the Democrat sketch in hell in 2020 photo. You really believe so? In future elections. Yeah, you know why? Because centrist Democrats and progressives need to sit down and have a conversation. Yeah. Because Joe Biden represents something that he's a relic of the past. You know what I mean? That will do for now, but he's a placeholder. What if that's what people want? What if the majority of people do want a centrist and they don't want the extremes on either side, the extreme Trump or the extreme AOC? They say that. But then when you talk about progressive policies, everybody wants progressive policies. They want free healthcare. That's a great point. You know what I mean? They want free education. Yeah. They want universal basic income. I'm like, all of the stuff they give Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders and AOC for the problem with the progressives. They don't have a problem. They don't have to market it. Just like the Democrats don't know how to message. Just bad messaging. Just get rid of the wording. If you are a centrist Democrat or even a conservative and I say, you want free healthcare? Yo, you want free education? Yo, you want universal basic income? All right, you're a socialist. And I'm just like, yo, stop using the word. Stop using the word socialist. Don't use the word socialist. Don't use democratic. So stop calling each other comrade. You know what I mean? Like get out of here. That's it. That's it. Lean into American patriotism. You're an American patriot and you want to provide for the people. And then that's it. You want everything America says they offer. Freedom, justice, liberty for all equality. That's it. I wanted just to land the milk and honey, right? Where the fuck is the milk and the honey? That's all I want. Also, who drinks that? Whoa. You've never had a milk and honey pedicure? No. Woo. You ain't livin' bread. What? But I'm sure that expression exists before milk and honey pedicures. Like somebody who's probably drinking milk and honey, some fucking psycho. I've never tried it, but that milk and honey pedicure, my God. But like, have you drank it? No, no, no, no. They just do it for your feet. But that's not where the expression comes from. The expression comes from some fucking weirdo drinking milk with honey in it. I, the first time I ever got one, I got it because of America's branding of milk and honey. That somebody branded milk and honey, like it's the best thing, right? It's like chocolate chips and cookies. Now, honey nut Cheerios used to taste good now. Now, you're on to something. Honey nut Cheerios. You're on to something. But the goddamn milk, that's what used to taste good back in the day. You're on to something. You're not yet. You're on to something. Maybe it is something. Maybe honey and milk is a good combination. Maybe it is. I would just never put honey in milk. It would be so odd. I don't like milk. I'm like those intolerant. But I might try to have milk and some almond milk and some honey. I get, we'll give it a go, I guess. I, but try, listen. The ball of the story is, get you a milk and honey pedicure. That shit is amazing, bro. That shit, they pour the cream on your leg with the honey, and it's sticky. It's almost like you can see why people get nutted on a little bit. What, that's nutted? No, you can see. I don't like to get nutted in it. Huh? People. It keeps happening. You definitely not in mind. You seen pornos? Yeah. Or my dreams, you know what I mean? Okay, Taylor. Where do you let your guy shoot it? Who said that we're going raw? Oh. You aren't? You only have to go raw though. The guy can take the condom off. That's true. Yeah. You have to be having sex. He's about to nutty take the condom off. Yeah, bless me. I enjoy it. Oh, I didn't know. I thought girls liked it a little bit. I did too. I'm glad that he came, but after like the, it's like that one bit of sensation like, oh, and then right after it's like, all right, get this shit off. Yeah, that's how we feel too. That's how everybody feels after sex. You're a communist, y'all. Why? Because you don't want to provide nobody that milk and honey. Yes, that's how it is. Also, I'm just going with it. I'm trying to, I'm building some steam. I'm trying to build some steam in here. Let's see if we can build here. I'm building a little momentum. Just throwing some stuff out, you know what I mean? Let's see if we can build on this. How can we equate ejaculation, the socialism, communism, America's freedom, liberty, justice for all, the land of milk and honey, you know what I mean? Oh, I got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because these conservatives just want to jerk themselves off. Ooh. But a socialist would jerk off the people around them as well. A circle jerk. A circle jerk. That's the shit. That's it, you know what I mean? That's what, that, instead of saying socialism, oh my God, progress should just be like, we want to do a circle jerk of America. That's it. Yo, that's the, I'm telling you, it's all about messaging. And progressives say, we want to do circle jerks of all Americans as opposed socialism. Let's all get in a circle. Let's all jerk each other off. Is there anything that will bring people together more? No. Woo. Trump brings it together when he does his little dance. Yeah, he's already started the circle jerk. He is the dance for it. Macho macho man. He's trying to bring people together in that moment. I want to be a macho man. Because that's what you want from your leader, right? To be jerking off? Yeah, you want a leader that's going to jerk you off. Bags, though. You do. That's true. You're a liar. Everybody wants, you would love for your boss to jerk you off. I'm not talking about literally. I'm just talking about like in life, you would want him to treat you like I would jerk your dick off. Ow. What do y'all think y'all call when they say, They say schmooze, schmooze a person. Schmooze a person. Yeah. Yeah. That's what that is. Is it though? Smews. That's what you're talking about. Smews. That's a smooze. Listen, all I know is circle jerk across America should be a campaign slogan for progressives. Straight up. We're going all, because think about that's what you're doing, right? We're all jerking each other off. I'm taking a little, I'm letting you take more of my tax money. Yeah. Because I know it's helping the next man. Yeah. We're all jerking each other off, bro. Smews. Okay, let's call it schmusion. Maybe circle jerk might be it too much. Let's put cable news. Let's call it schmusing. But it's just a different, it's just got to be about language, right? Messaging matters. I agree with you on that. Yes. Messaging matters. I agree with you on that. That's all I'm saying. Socialism got to go, defund the police got to go, packing the court got to go, reparations, because all of these things can happen. They're antagonistic. They just got to have different names. Yeah. Reparations to be economic equity packages are universal basic income. Yeah. Call socialism compassionate capitalism. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Packing the court should be expanding the court, because the court's already packed with conservatives. Equalizing the court. Equalize the court. Defunding the police should be, no, we just want to take, you know, the police budgets are loaded. Restructuring the police. Restructuring the police. I'm going to take some of this money and put it over into the community. That makes your job safer, because we provide more opportunity to these so-called criminals. You know what I mean? Maybe they won't be out here robbing and killing each other and selling dope. If we just invest a little bit more milk and honey into the hood. That's all. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Just change the language. I've always felt that way with white privilege. That it assumes that not being killed by the cops is a privilege. And that shouldn't be a privilege. That should be a bare minimum. Yeah. I feel like there'd be way more support for that, especially amongst whites, if the issue was like, hey, black people aren't getting a basic human right. Why don't we help lift them up to basic human rights instead of, hey, look how lucky you are, white people. You're so lucky you don't get killed by the cops. It's like, no, nobody should get killed by the fucking cops. Yeah, I'm not white. Does that make sense? Yeah, I'm not white, so I can't speak to it, but I would also think that if you're a poor white kid growing up in a rural area, you'll take the chance of getting killed by police if you can get some fucking money for your skin color. You know what I'm saying? Like, because white privilege assumes that all white people are rich and nobody's poor and everybody's doing well. If you're a white person that's poor and the only thing you get as a consolation prize is, oh, I don't get killed by the police. It's like, yeah, whoop-de-do. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I want some of that. I want that real, I want the riches. Because I think that's what people really equate it to, right? They're like, no, white privilege means that everybody's doing great. That's why it's not the case. Right. You know what I mean? Like, I grew up in Monk's Cornerstone. A lot of Thomas was my neighbor. That's my first white friend. I'm just as poor as us. Yeah. You know what I mean? So somebody's gonna figure out how to do that. Like, somebody's gonna figure out the messaging that shows that poor whites and poor minorities have a more similar life. Yeah, it's called poverty. Yeah, poverty. That should be its own race. And but somebody's gonna find a way to connect those groups, because usually those groups are at opposition, but somebody's gonna find a way to connect those groups. And the politician that can connect those groups is going to change this country, man. What? Circle jerk. The goddamn circle jerk. Circle jerk. You know what I'm saying? But that experience is so similar. If you're making less than $20,000 a year and you got three or four people in your household, pull up. Pull out. Pull up. Pull up. Pull out. We're about to have a nice circle jerk. Okay. And you know what comes with that circle jerk? What's that? Free education if you want one. Free job training if you want it. Universal basic income. Free healthcare. Let's go. That was good. What else do you want? That was good. That's it. Can't hate on it. You can't hate on it. Taylor, what else we got for things that we won't care about next week? I wanted to mention with Trump, too, they booked the wrong four seasons. Oh, they're doing the Million Magga March this weekend, too. Yeah. We're done? No. Where? I think it's in D.C. Yeah, in D.C. Million Magga March. Jones said the Calvary is coming. No. Bro, they're doing the Million Magga March. No, they're not. Oh, that's like you ain't get the newsletter. I swear to God. I swear to God. They're doing the Million Magga March this weekend. I think it's in, I'm pretty sure it's in D.C. I said D.C. Yeah, Million Magga March in D.C., baby. No way. They protesting at the White House. Because their guy lost. By the way, I hate this, too. You know why? Because 2016 Republicans were definitely clowning Democrats for losing the election. Oh, yeah. Oh, y'all said it was rigged. Y'all say Russians helped us, yada, yada, yada. And now, four years later, it's the exact same thing that's coming from the right. They're both hypocrites. And Trump-Colanda 100 million in a book deal. Oh, yeah. Trump what? 100 million in a book deal. Oh, yeah. I mean, you make crazy money after you become president. I think, I think the Clintons made like 100 million after they were in the office. No, no. Trump will be the most. I think Barack has gotten the most so far. What did he make after? I think him and Michelle got 65. Yeah, 65 for their two books. Barack's book actually comes out next week. What else we got, Taylor? Oh, Ron DeSantis, too. You're a fucking idiot. What'd he do? He's got this law that he's passed into where you can shoot looters. Expand or something like that. You can shoot looters and he defines looting as if you're 500 feet away from a building that's got damage or some shit like that, like, that's broad as fuck. And he's seeking immunity for people that run over protesters. So if you're blocking traffic, you can run over somebody in a car and you can kill them and it can be considered an accident. He's granting immunity to them if they're blocking traffic. The Florida is a wild. A wild fucking place. He's basically saying open season on protesters. That's literally all he's saying. You might as well just say, we're fucking protesters up. Like that's it. That shit is wack because how can you implement all of these laws and legislation for the people fighting against injustice, but not just implement laws and legislation to keep the injustice from happening? Like it's really just that simple. Yeah. Instead of putting all that energy into the people that are actually fighting the good fight, put that energy into making sure these things don't never happen in the first place. What the fuck? What else Taylor? What we got? Um, I don't know if y'all care anymore about Dr. Dre's ex-wife. Think so. Okay, don't give a fuck. Kiki Palmer, Chris, I have an ABT healthy food comment. We spoke about that on Breakfast Club. My only thing with that is like, it's not that people might not want to eat healthy. It's just that you got to stretch your money on ABT and healthy food costs fucking money. When you're going to store to use your ABT, you're buying cheap shit because you want to stretch your motherfucking ABT. You might only have 200 hours on the ABT. You can't eat healthy. What'd you think about T.I. walking back those comments? I am. He was capping a little bit, huh? No, I didn't think he was capping. I thought that we kind of spoke on this earlier. I think that when you're hurt, you're not hearing anything. All those young brothers are hurt. All those young sisters are hurt. They didn't want to hear that. You know what I'm saying? But he said he wasn't even referring to that. So King Vaughn got shot and killed. A rapper named King Vaughn got shot and killed in Atlanta. And then T.I. said on his story, like stop moving to Atlanta and bringing your beef here and shooting each other. Yeah, it was creepy. And then he was like, I didn't have nothing to do with them. I don't know what you're talking about. He really just said it. I mean, listen, I can only go by T.I.'s word, but yes, I can see why it sounds like it was capped. You know what I mean? But yo, I understand what T.I.'s point was, but what T.I. should have said, and I can't tell a brother what he should have said, but I would have said, yo, brothers, just stop killing each other. Yeah. Because it's confusing, right? Because rappers also say on site. It's on site. Don't give a catch me church. It's going down. You know what I mean? So it's just like, that was an on site moment. They didn't give a fuck what state they was in, what city they was in. He had an issue. He handled it. Things went bad. I hate to see it, but I understood what T.I. was coming from. It's just that, yo, timing is everything because you want your message to be received, right? And people aren't hearing you when you're hurt, when they're hurt. You know what I'm saying? That's what I say. Healed people hear differently. Hurt people hear differently too. T.I. said what he said, basically, yo, brothers, y'all need to stop beefing. Don't bring that stuff. Because any OG will tell you that. You come to my city. Don't make my city hot. What was wrong about what he said? That part I didn't understand. Like, I completely agree with what he said. I think it was the part of don't kill people. Don't kill each other here. Kill yourself in your own city. Oh, is that what? I mean, that's how I took it. That's how I read. He said, handle your beast in your city. You know, don't come to Atlanta with that. Which any, by the way, which any OG to any OG to say, don't come over here making our block hot. But the message got to be, especially coming from somebody like T.I., the message got to be don't beef period. Because people will be so quick to call you a hypocrite, but I go back to what we talked about earlier. If you're not contradicting yourself, you're not growing. Yeah. Yes, T.I. is the same guy who went to Houston and fought Little Flip. T.I. is the same guy who was in Las Vegas and ran up on Floyd Mayweather. Who won between Little Flip? I don't know who won. Remember that song by Little Flip? Little Flip. Flip. Game over? Flip. Game over. But T.I. was the same guy who ran down on Mayweather in Vegas. T.I. is the same guy who went to the Bowen Holmes Projects, Rest in Peace, Shorty Lowe, and did a video on Shorty Lowe Projects when he was beefing. So it's just like, people will look at Tip and be like, oh, Tip, you being a hypocrite, you contradicting yourself. But that's what you do when you grow. Like Nicky Giovanni said, if you're not contradicting yourself, you're not growing. Does T.I. have a banger-like game over? And shut up. Honestly. Yes! I don't think he got them. A million of them. Flip. Flip. A million of them. Yo, that shit went, though. What'd they want? Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip. Game over. Game over was dope. That shit. It wasn't one of my favorites, but it was dope. It was dope. What's your favorite song ever? Ever? Yeah. That's a hard question, bro. I got my favorite rap song ever. What's your favorite rap song ever? Flip. I get it. The name of it. But I know it if I tell you. What is it? It's... Ah, fuck. Lil Duvall's friend. He's an Atlanta dude. God, man. What's his name? Can't be that good. Can't be that good. It starts... They're like in his house or something like that, and they're in the kitchen, and someone's like cooking up some like eggs and shit. Oh, wait. What's the song about, though? Could I say what you're gonna say? Lil Young Dro. I'm cleaning this bitch. I'm about to show the lead in this bitch. Oh, I love that song. That's my favorite song, too. Young Dro. Show the lead? That's a great record. Like a show that I'm great about the record. That's a great record. Me and my friend made the dance to it. Oh, I love that show. Y'all made the dance to what? Before the music video came out, we've been made that dance. What? Show the lead? Yes. Show the lead. Nobody made it. Yo, show the lead. One of the greatest hip hop songs. Show the lead is a great record. That's a great record. That's a great fucking record. Show the lead. Show... Yo, they need a remix. You bounce right to the left and let you... Show... But if they did a flip remix, if they did a game over shoulder lean remix, though? Flip. Flip. Flip. Flip. Nah. Lean over. That would be a good record for getting people off the lean. Lean over. Lean over. Get people off that fucking opioid. You could be progressive with hip hop, too, man. I was going to say, too, the Ticketmaster. What about Ticketmaster? They're going to require... Concertgo is a past COVID test before attending. Is that the case? Your boy might be out on the road again, then. Might be out on the road. I heard about that. Should we do some Ask Idiots? Let's do some Ask Idiots. Let's do some Ask Idiots, guys. You want to do an ad or a quick? There's minerals. All right, let's talk about ExpressVPN. Did you ever see the social dilemma on Netflix? I loved it. Okay. In the documentary, Text Insiders explain how social media is engineered to exploit users' data for profit. They call it surveillance capitalism. I'm cool with normal capitalism, where I'm a willing participant in the transaction. Like every time I go to the store to buy food, but when my data is being harvested so tech billionaires can get even richer, that's where we got to draw the line. And that's why I put a layer of protection around my data with ExpressVPN. Every time you use the internet, big tech companies, they mine your data by tracking your searches, messages, and video history. But when you run ExpressVPN on your device, it hides your IP address, which websites can use to personally identify you. That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers. You still need to be careful with what you share on social media, but ExpressVPN can make your web browsing more anonymous. ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your internet data to keep you safe from hackers and prying eyes. Many VPNs slow down your internet, but not ExpressVPN. It's incredibly fast and easy to use. Just tap one button and you're protected. So if you don't like the idea of tech companies exploiting your personal information, then visit ExpressVPN.com slash idiots right now. And you can get three extra months of ExpressVPN for free. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com slash idiots to protect your data. Go to ExpressVPN.com slash idiots to learn more. Now back to the show. Let's get into some motherfucking asking idiot. And then it's time to go. What we got, Taylor Gang? Baze. I don't know how to say their name, but we'll, they don't know what 2021 be as bad as 2020. I don't think 2020 was bad. Or where things get better. I don't think 2020 was bad. No, I think everything is God's will. I think everything, it's not, it's not about thinking. Everything in 2020 went the way, everything in 2020 was supposed to go. You may not realize that now, but you're going to look back and you're going to realize, okay, that happened for this reason. This happened for that reason. 2020 went exactly the way it was supposed to go. Even when you can chalk up all the death, that was, if you believe in, you know, the divine, or you just believe in everything being God's will, like you got to take the so-called good with the so-called bad, right? Yeah, like things aren't good or bad. They just are when it comes to- They just are. That's how I feel. And like 2020 is like, for me, you can't unsee what you've seen over the past year. And so America really has, not even just America, the world has a great opportunity to correct itself. Yeah, yeah. I think 2021 is actually going to be great because a lot of times like how we look at something is based on perception. And we thought 2020 was so horrible perception-wise. So now we experience all those things that were awful and anything that is not that is going to feel great. So I think that we got an amazing year to look forward to. And 2021 might not even be close to as dope as 2019, but since it's coming right off the back of 2020, we're going to really appreciate it. So yeah, I think we're all going to have a good year. And the wild thing about perception, right, it's so funny to me, all of these die-hard Democrats, they act like, into the world was happening, Trump was in the White House. Trump's not in the White House. Now our trauma has been resolved, God. Now we can get to healing. Oh, the fuck we can't. They got a million MAGA march this weekend. 70 million people voted for Trump. Ron DeSantis is like, shoot looters. You know what I mean? And they can't tell just between looters and protesters now. What the fuck are y'all talking about? America is America. We got a lot of work to do. A lot of work to do, work ain't done. If you're thinking about 2020 and all that shit, they say what they say, hindsight is 2020 and all that. Well, y'all motherfuckers better look behind you and start seeing really clear what the fuck is going on in America, what's happened over the past 11 months. Ain't shit changed, except for the administration. That's right. That's it. So get the fuck out of here. I thought 2020 was great. I think 2020 is gonna go down as probably the most pivotal year in the year that started a new reconstruction era in this fucking country. I really feel that way. Ooh, okay. So if you look at it like that, it's great. If it sparked a change that makes millions of people's lives way better, then yeah, it's amazing. And once again, everything is God's will. You can't believe in God when things go good. And not believe in Him when things go bad. Like, you know, you got to accept it as His will. Everything, everything in 2020 has absolutely happened for a reason. Okay, well, connected to that, Ed Martinez wants to know, if there was one thing you could change about America, what would it be? One thing I could change about America? I'd like you to be a little warmer in New York. No, global warming is gonna give you that, baby. No, no. You ain't gotta worry about that. Climate change is gonna give you that. Honestly, if there's one thing I could change in America, I would love an environment where Americans feel secure. And that's regardless of who you are. Like, I don't want anybody to exist in this country and feel this sense of fragility, you know? Like, I don't want you to think you're gonna shop out of cops. I don't want to think you're not gonna be able to afford your rent. I don't want to think you're not gonna be out of a job. Like, it'd be great. Not everybody's gonna have to be a millionaire here. That's not how they should have set up. But it'd be great if people, with all the luxury that we have and all the money that we have and technology, it'd be great if people didn't think if they're gonna make it next month. That'd be cool. I wonder, I don't even know if this would work. I just would like to see. This eliminate prejudice. Right? And the reason I said prejudice, because prejudice covers it all. Racism, sexism, homophobia, you know, transphobia, Latinophobia. There's anything that's different than you. You just, like, if you get rid of prejudice, I think people would look at it, look at Americans even playing field. You know what I mean? Because people come here because they want that equality. Equality is, we're gonna be treated equally and we're gonna be able to, you know, have the same opportunities as the next person. I think you get rid of prejudice, you level the playing field. You make America safer and better for everyone. Everybody gets the same amount of opportunity. I don't know if that'll work. I just, you know. Yeah, dude. I would love to get people to understand each other, man, that maybe that's what I want to change. Because I think we all agree, like you were saying at the beginning of the episode, that we all agree on the main core values and issues. So how do I get people to talk to each other or at least understand each other? Because when you're not leading with your opinions, right? Like, when Americans meet each other outside of, like, political rallies, when we just meet each other at Walmart or we're just playing a pickup basketball game, we're actually pretty nice to each other, man. Hell, yeah. Common ground. Common ground. And also, like, if there's one thing those, like, Borat movies actually show, is it, like, Americans are pretty nice to weird people that are just, like, Borat's trying to take advantage. You know what I mean? Like, Borat's, like, trying to take advantage and make people look stupid. But most Americans are like, yeah, I'll help you out, dude. Like, I'll help you. Even though you're kind of, like, doing this weird shit to me. So we're kind of nice to each other. If I could just get people to believe or, like, help people understand that, like, it's not a battle of good versus evil that the media wants to portray because they can make money off of it. But we kind of all agree on the same goals. We just have different ways of getting there. We have different biases. And we have different biases. But, like, if I could do that, man, that would be the number one thing I would change. I'd love for people to stop viewing their opposition as evil. Because once you think someone's evil, there's no compromise. None. Yeah. None. What you got, Taylor Gang? Biggs1904 wants to know, do you guys think that there could be another civil war? Nah, nah, nah. No. It'll be, I mean, it'll be race wars. I mean, not even race wars. It'll just be like, it'll be the left versus the right. It'll be people who think their values, conservative and support for Trump is one. And people who support the Democrats the other, it'll be that. Yeah. I don't think it'll be a civil war. Life's too good still. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, we still want to play PlayStation 5. I just got to Xbox yesterday, baby. Through to Xbox. Xbox, send me an Xbox just to this, yo, Blackboy JB is so funny. Blackboy JB said PlayStation is for gay guys. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. Because of the rainbow flag on it. And that shit is so funny to me. And then he tried to, like, walk it back a little. He's like, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But if I was PlayStation for Pride Month, I would put out the gay station and, like, literally, I'm serious, and literally let it be a limited edition PlayStation that is fully rainbow flag colored. Fully rainbow. Fully rainbow flag colored. Put out a limited edition, 100 copies, 500, that shit will sell like hot fucking cake show. And when you turn it on, the Pride flag comes up and it says that gay station, you know how a place they don't play. I'm serious, this shit would kill. Okay. Well, transition into that. One last question. Yeah. Would you rather eat a homeless man's butt or a sack of famous toes with food? Yeah, man. Well, listen, you know, as always, if you listen to this podcast and you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. If you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant idiots podcast. Thank you for listening. The toes.
