 It's so stupid it's positively Yep, Shalemaine the guy Andrew Schultz. We are the brilliant idiots back for another quarantine goddamn week of This motherfucking podcast. What's happening Andrew? I'm chillin man. I don't see. How are you? I'm blessed black and highly favored man. Yeah, um Beards coming in it's coming in. I think I'm gonna keep it, bro You think you're gonna keep it? I like it. I'm gonna keep it It looks good a dual call from London this morning on the breakfast clubs They've been checking me out on my IG told me I'm looking handsome gay or straight. He's gay It only matters if they're gay only matters when they're gay. That's it I'm gonna give a fuck up a straight man called me handsome because guess what if a straight man called me handsome You're really gay. You think I'm gonna stop exactly You think if a guy calls another guy handsome that that means they're gay. I think they're gay. They just Don't know it yet. But I could see guys and see them as handsome, right? Like I could there's certain guys that are handsome in conversation, right? Like if you're talking, right? And you know, that's a good-looking guy But if you just are just randomly sipping your latte on the corner and you see a dude and you like wow, he's handsome Yeah Yeah, I mean, I think yeah, yeah, you have me you have me a latte, bro It's something there. I'm just saying it's something there like for you just to be right because that's like you're attracted to him That's can you admit that's kind of an attraction? I would say there's a difference between handsome and attraction Talk to me because I find people Good-looking like I can say oh that person is good-looking, right? Yeah, but you're not attracted to them Like certain women are attractive, but I'm not attracted to the like here's for example, Jessica Chastain Do you know who she is? Never heard of her. She's she's like the she plays like to save the day woman in every movie Like she was in the movie where they got bin Laden. She was a redhead. She's an interstellar. She's the redhead She's in Molly's game. She's the redhead. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah black widows call it Johansson. No, but sure so She is beautiful Like she's just so beautiful, but her personality to me in movies at least I'm not like attracted to it I'm not I just a good Chastain. I'm just personally not attracted to it So I think the same can be true with guys you could look at a guy be like wow that guy's really handsome But I'm not attracted. I'm not attracted to him You never found a dude to be attractive No, I can't I can't give it up and say a guy's good-looking, you know But when I say things like that masculinity go I've said this conversation when I'm talking to talking about guys, but I say good-looking but not in the sense of like I think he's attractive like say if I'm talking about TV, right? Yeah, I'm talking about a show that I might be executive producer. I'm like, yo, that dude right there You know, you know, he's smart like everything is the talent first right? He's smart He's funny. Yeah, yeah, this and that and he's and he's good-looking That does matter right? But it's not like he's good. He's not like he's good-looking like oh shit I think that motherfucker fine like you know saying I know what I'm saying I don't know if you know what you're saying if how can someone be good-looking and not fine You want a guy that's fine for the show that you're executive producing like when you're casting one of your shows Right, and you want to lead male that gets all the girls. Yes You want a guy that you're attracted to that you would like to suck his dick But you as a man can't say that you can't say he's fine You can't say you have to suck his dick. I definitely can't say that you can't say that but you you got to be like Someone who gets their dick sucked. No, I say he's good-looking and and you saying that he's good-looking Has to be based off the fact that you vetted it through all the women that work on the show Why you need them to vet it? Why can't you just trust your gut? Right, that's gay Yeah, that is absolutely gay If you have a feeling in your stomach about a nigga If you have a feeling in your stomach about another man, right? Yeah, bro. Yeah, bro. That's you think that's gay Gay, okay. Now what we find perfectly fine to be gay. Okay. What is what is a guy that you think is attractive? And I think it's attractive. I don't think any guy the track Okay, what is it whatever word who's sending them you want to use for attractive? What is it guy? What is the guy you think is good-looking? Good-looking. Yeah, I'm a good-looking man. Name a good-looking man. Why am I calling him good-looking trace songs is trace songs good-looking? Depends for what role No, no role of role of man in life his trace on his good-looking Taylor is No, that's Taylor just you if you had to define him as good-looking or not, I have no idea Morris chestnut Morris chestnut is a good-looking guy because he looks like me exactly so you just compliment yourself And he does not look like you We look like each other Let the record show the chestnut that's been roasting on the open fire.

Well, she's rich it in both. Oh That's always important. Let's listen. Let's get into some positively brilliant and let's get into some what a fucking idiot Okay, see this week down positively brilliant Um Man, I saw a few I think Kim Jong-un faking his death to find out who the traders were in his circle was positively brilliant This guy is give me this hot take nice He faked his death to find out who the traders were in his circle the motherfucker was out there celebrating when he died Right. He was like, oh, you was celebrating. All right. Adios. Okay, they never they never quite announced he died though Exactly, but the people who thought that he was dead then he found out exactly who they were who was celebrating his demise He gets them the fuck out of here. That's nice, bro Only only person that looked happy when he died with his sister So he might have to get his sister out of here, bro real talk. Anyway, I thought that was positively brilliant Absolutely genius, you know, you get to find out how people really feel about you when they think you're dead Fake that death man. I think we need to fake more deaths. I think it's a great idea. Why? Why was Kim Jong-un on his Tupac Elvis Presley shit? Like why would people even think that he would fake his death like our are no better question Nobody why would people why when people thought he was dead when he put out the picture of him cutting the ribbon or whatever He was that people was trying to figure out if it was doctor like seeing into the whole segment on this Like why what is he got the world shook bro Kim Jong-un is the goat. He got the world shook He got the world on a string. He's playing fucking yo-yo with the world whatever he does Everybody there for it because the guy is unchained man That's fucking Yeah, dude is Asian Django. This guy does not play around. He does whatever he wants to do But he can't he's not a threat to any he's not a threat to America at least you think who knows now I don't know a few years on this podcast you you matter of fact You had me dressed up in a soldier outfit one time Doing a sketch about Kim Jong-un because you said his fucking missiles couldn't go anywhere He was like he's no threat to America. I don't think he's a threat to America, but I actually called him You actually called him pussy. Ah, I would never use those words for the great Kim Jong-un. That's a lie Hey, you know what? You know what? Maybe I got a call from the supreme leader and he told me not to put that sketch out Maybe that's what happened Why don't tell me what's up with Kim Jong-un? Why is he such a threat son? What this guy? I don't know if he's a threat. I'll be honest. I do not know if he's a threat I have absolutely no clue that being said you got to put a little respect on his name, bro What does he do that's bad? What does he do this bad? Chris Chris don't know Chris glasses are fogging up right now Chris answer the question Chris. What is Kim Jong-un he has an entire he has an entire country you're pressed in Various stages of starvation over the last 10 years for starters. I mean mad country starve Chris. Come on, yo America about to be one of that's what I'm saying. You can't get fucking beef patty at Wendy's the shit about to be bad. Exactly Dr. Claude Anderson been talking about food shortage just for years. This is another reason. Dr. Claude Anderson genius How many French people do you know man? Yvonne Levoque Dr. Claude Anderson dude come hang out the regular folks again. Claude is an OG. He's 85 years old but um Yeah, it's gonna be bad, bro that's why I've been telling everybody learn to live off the fucking land man and Wouldn't it be something if like the universe is really correcting itself, right? Like the earth is correcting itself It's handling itself wouldn't it be something if all the vegetarians were right? Why? And it ended up being a meat shortage And we all had to eat vegetables and then all of us end up liking it and never go back to meet ever again Yo, can that be something but can you explain to me why there's a meat shortage? Like what do cows don't die from coronavirus? Well, what's the issue here? What's going on? I think it was something about and I correct me if I'm wrong anybody who knows but from what I was hearing There was a coronavirus outbreak in a factory and the coronavirus workers I mean not the coronavirus workers the meat factory workers wanted to stop working, right? But Trump signed some executive order to keep them all working even though they all feel like they shouldn't be working. Let's go You know, let's go. I guess What they do is not like a job that anybody can do I guess not a job that you can just get rid of all the meat workers and then put some soldiers in there and they fucking You know, whatever they do to the meat. I don't got right, you know So that's what that's that's what I've been told Oh, by the way, yeah, I'm saying that I'm correct cuz I'm tired of y'all in our comments saying we don't know what the fuck We're talking about this is the brilliant idiots podcast. We're not here to make sense. All right Anyway, that was my positive brilliant. What about you? What do you got? Positively brave this week was for me was um Tori Lange What are you doing with YouTube? To help artists monetize their shows from home. Okay Erica by do also even though she started this a few weeks ago She she launched her own live screen platform and she charges viewers between a dollar and three dollars rather than using IG live Or YouTube or other, you know traditional avenues that everybody is using and it's so weird to me how We have such a double-standard based on what social media tells us What based on what social media tells us right and this what I mean by that? Erica by do started that a few weeks ago Charging a dollar three dollars people go watch her yada yada yada. It's bro. People say it's brilliant Tori Lane's even though he partnered with YouTube, you know, um, he's charging people say he's brilliant Teddy Riley a couple weeks ago tried to tell people like look We can do it on Instagram live. Well, let me run it on my own website as well Why can't we have our own platform and because people were saying nah, Teddy fucking up the fun or nah You know teddy fucking up the first is nah teddy shouldn't be charging this and that which he never said he was gonna charge He just said you let's get it to my platform people were killing them for it But when when it's presented a different way and the way Tori and Erica are doing it People are like, oh, that's that's the way for artists to make money while they're stuck in quarantine Artists don't know and they're gonna be able to get back on the road and do shows but that's the way for them to You know monetize their shows from home. I Think it's brilliant. You know, I don't know if I would necessarily pay To see somebody perform, but I do know if it was like I Would have definitely paid for some of the verses I would have definitely paid for some of those I would definitely pay for Jill Scott and Erica by do this weekend I Would definitely I paid for Teddy Raleigh and baby face. What was out of what was Tori doing on YouTube? Performing so he was doing a live show going a live show on stage to nobody woman No crowd No crowd. How was it? I'm curious And it looked okay, but listen you had to think right where the audience We're just not there in the venue, right? But there is there is value to that audience interaction maybe less so in music, but you need it with stand-up I would if I was in stand-up comedian. I was doing that. I would do a Bishop TD Jakes is doing right now, which is Bishop TD Jakes preaches to an empty church But it's literally like maybe three people like I watched yeah I watch them every Sunday, but this Sunday just since this top of the mind I saw his wife was there and it was like one other person there. All you really need is two people You know I'm saying but honestly what Bishop TD Jakes said is cool. Bishop D. Jakes said I never needed a crowd To get to work myself up right because there's no a Reaction that is necessary to what he's saying shit Better coming me to a black church. Are you crazy? Right, but you don't need go go Yes, yes, you do Yes, yes You don't you need that you need to take just proved you don't right. It's not like he's got Working a buzzer that they press a button and you hear some old lady go come on child Well, you got a few people there. It's just like you right. You're a comedian all you need is one person to laugh Well, and you and you off to the races. We've been doing we've been doing the like the weekly thing I don't even have a name for right now. I need to get a name for it But the thing basically you reposted we've been doing every single week where we basically take the topic You got some smoke for that bro. I admire you bro. You got in the fire, man. I admire you, bro I love that you said in the fire for that one. I've taken heat for worse I give a fuck about that shit Like motherfuckers really mad at me by how I feel about a presidential candidate. Mm-hmm. God damn I ain't I am I not an American? Yeah Do I not have the right to vote for who I want to vote for and decide who I want to vote for? Yeah, what interests they are presenting Yeah, you mad at me cuz Andrew gave an endorsement of the motherfucker Because the endorsement didn't come in the way that you wanted to hear Yeah, you start you started it off by saying he'd be the great a great president and you listed your reasons why I thought it was I thought it was hilarious. Thank you, man. Fuck. What the fuck? I thought it was hilarious I thought it was fucking smart. How you mad at me cuz I posted some shit that my guy who's a comedian Created and it was good. Thank you fuck take that shit to Joe Rogan's page Joe posted it Yeah, they were loving it over there Right Oh One motherfucker told me see shit like this is gonna help Donald Trump get reelected I gave Donald Trump donkey of the day today Donald Trump has his own donkey of the day intro I post all kind of wild ass Donald Trump memes and shit making jokes about Donald Yeah, so the one time the Democratic candidate gets some smoke and which wasn't the first time I've posted shit about Joe Biden before for sure time. He gets some smoke y'all motherfuckers mad at me And now I'm the one that's gonna help get Donald Trump reelected Well, how about this since I've given Donald Trump donkey today so much and spoken out against him if Joe Biden gets elected in November Do I get credit for Joe Biden? Yeah? Yeah, fuck is wrong with y'all and I'll be honest we flamed Trump in that thing too, but nobody paid attention We flamed Trump and you were comparing it to you as Joe and why there's so much alike But actually Joe Biden just does what Trump does better exactly, but it's the same shit like stupid I know but the thing is they just at least the way that we've been thinking about things is like The way I go into any joke right is I I don't think any joke should have a political party attached to it I think you just do the joke based on what your gut tells you and sometimes your gut tells you it's liberal Sometimes it says the conservative sometimes it says reasonable right in the middle But I never decide the political party of a joke before I go about it because I don't think you get that real thing that people connect to and the cool thing about the piece was that It connected to people on all sides of political spectrum because it connects to who you are as a person Not this political idea of who you are, you know, I totally understand It's like even like I'll put this on the positively brilliant Don lemon not not his comments per se, but somebody took his comments Shit and put them under ether with the pigeon from the fucking stillmatic album Yeah, and the hat cocked to the side from the stillmatic album and so I put in the caption the dawn Why cuz Nas always calls himself the dawn. Yeah, I was has a song called the dawn to me I like smart shit that connects so many different dots. Yeah, that's it. It was well done. It was good I don't give a fuck with really don lemon was saying. Yeah, if I did I would have posted that before they had to eat The shit to also he didn't say anything No, it was common sense. It was stating obvious I didn't get I didn't I honestly didn't understand what the hype was about, you know, I'm saying I really didn't It was a fun piece. It was like it was like a cool meme a funny meme A meme can be funny regardless of political affiliation or having no political affiliation at all And I know as we approach the election people get riled up and they get so caught up in the emotions of these things But if you are creating comedy content You cannot be saddled to one side because then you give away the most valuable asset You have as a comedian, which is the element of surprise, right? If I know how you're going to Go with every single piece of content you put out there There's no surprise. You cannot be funny anymore. The biggest knock on SNL is we know where you're gonna go with every single take and The times that they catch us off guard. We're like, yo, that shit was fire. We didn't see that coming That's why we get, you know, that's why so many of these talk show hosts nowadays It's like, eh, I know what your ego gonna be every time Like I like I need we know we know people on Fox gonna go all the way to the right We know people on MSNBC CNN, you know, these late shows they gonna go to the left who the fuck is in the gray area Yo, you know the crazy thing, bro Most people are in the gray area. Most people in the gray area if you're being objective No, no, I don't know shows. I don't think people I think it's hard for people to be objective Oh, okay. Let me let me back that statement up I think most people their internal monologue who they are when they're by themselves is I hate the word moderate because I don't feel like I'm moderate. I don't think you're moderate I think we're reasonable the word moderate sucks But like I think most people are in that gray area, right? They're in the middle, right? And then one or two issues pulls them to one side But most people are operating right here. Some people go, you know what? I really care about the black Experience here in America and I'm gonna vote for the person that is offering the best possible solution to all the black Problems that exist right now if that's on the right for us on the left boom I'm voting for that person, right? Yeah Jews people might do the exact same thing Some person might really feel strongly about abortion and they go, you know what? I don't believe in abortion and I'm gonna vote Republican because they tend to not believe in having abortion be being legal and But realistically all my other shit is kind of liberal But it's a single issue that pulls us aside So when the rest of the time where we're just having conversations is mostly gray Most people are in the gray. I like I like the word reasonable over moderate Yeah, I like I love I love the fact that to be reasonable is in the gray area I love the fact that you know, I like I like to have I like to leave reasonable doubt for things You know what I'm saying and you know what else was black and white Oh, it was actually great the reasonable doubt album cover by See what you did there, bro It all makes perfect sense, you know, I mean that I want to say, you know, what I think it's positively brilliant Go, I think I think what did he did last week is positively brilliant. I think him Saying that the black vote ain't free and you know him saying that you know Somebody has to come with a real black agenda and him saying that he's gonna hold the vote hostage I think we talked about this. Yeah, you said that last week. I think yeah Okay, what the reason I'm saying I'm giving him positively brilliant now is because on Monday Joe Biden released a black agenda called the lift every voice Black agenda, which is named after the black Negro Lift every voice, you know, a lot of white people are like, aren't they loud enough? Well good being loud is what is what caused Joe Biden to put that motherfucking agenda I mean 100 I like the fact that Simone Sanders said, um, You know this uh, this agenda is I think I don't if she said it on Biden said it But they said that it's a living agenda meaning that, you know It can it's still room for negotiation like it's still things to be added to it You know what I mean and I listen as I told y'all there's nothing irresponsible About demanding something for your vote and now Joe Biden put something on the table and you know, it's up for review You know, it's I have thoughts on it, you know, it's things that I like in it It's things that I don't like in it You know, my initial thoughts are it's more the same old same old You know, especially the same old same that we hear from established Democrats establishment Democrats I'm saying like like like they write these proposals and they identified a problem using the word African American Black and then they start talking these are rising tide lift all boats Policies, you know, I mean, that's what they should have called it They should they actually should have called the policy or lift every boat or lift every slave ship Lift every slave ship Rising tide lifts all boats. Yeah, I mean, that's when they hit you which was Joe Which was always Joe Biden's thing Joe Biden used to always say that, you know You know, you know, you all got to do next time somebody next time one of these white politicians goes listen We have to rise the tide you gotta be like listen. We're not that good at swimming. Okay Can we keep the tide low? They don't say it like that what they say is they they'll say things like an American agenda Is a black agenda, which we know just isn't the case. That's not reality. You know what I'm saying? Like it's like the trickle down economics thing that shit is not coming to the hood never has never will it Yeah, I understand what you're saying. There are other people that are gonna get it first Obviously there there is a trickle down effect by being in America like being black in America is better than being Fucking I don't know black in war-torn Congo, right? So there is a trickle-down effect to being in America The problem is is it historically black people have been on the bottom of that trickle So there's all these other groups that are getting that way before so it's like how do you how do you redistribute the trickle? If you have created let's not act like what happened to black people in America wasn't intentional Let's not act like it wasn't by design right had if you had systemic things that were done intentionally To put people in those conditions. You got to do systemic things Get them out. It's really just that simple. That's why even with like Joe Biden's Black agenda like the criminal justice reform is weak Especially for somebody who wrote the 94 crime bill Like you you got a tone for that 94 crime bill by coming with a better, you know criminal justice agenda and the economic the economic plan is cool But it's cool for black people who already got a little money. You know I'm saying like if you say you want to advance the economic Mobility of black people and close the racial Well for an income gap by investing in black workers businesses and communities that's great Like you say you want to expand black home ownership and wealth building great But you also have to remember you can't Small business home ownership your way out of poverty because most people don't have the capital to get started right understand I'm saying so like those that shit works for me I could take advantage of that shit but the everyday person working in the hood they can't know now of your staff How many people are are black? My staff. Yeah Everybody except for two so You could what you call what you call staff like you can be my personal employees. Yeah, like people who your team I mean from what I've seen you have a lot of black people on your team Yeah, right so maybe helping a guy like you Actually does create a trickle-down effect directly to your community Nobody else is siphoning it off that trickle because it's like, okay, boom I'm gonna help this small business as Charlemagne's gonna it's gonna open and you know He's gonna open it amongst corn South Carolina where he's actually gonna end up employing 80% black people and in those black people now have jobs and they could potentially start their own business it so maybe this of this like maybe this infusion and capital in the business-savvy people of a community is actually the best thing you could do to a community Instead of just giving everybody in the community the stimulus check and they don't really know how to Reinvest that in a way that's gonna help them for future generations like what I would do is I would give money to the people that know what they're fucking doing I would do that. I think that's one way. I'm not mad at that. You know saying I said I'm gonna stop Cuz you're living you're living you're living proof of the actions, right? It's like you if if the government basically said yo, Charlemagne, you don't gotta pay taxes here But you know what you got to do with that money is start another business By osmosis you're gonna hire black people because that's who's around you Yeah, but you know, it's still won't be enough though. You know, it's a star. It's a push, right? But I mean that's but by the way, that's happening if if if guys like me do what they're supposed to do and take advantage of these You know small business initiatives and stuff like that. That's already happening But I'm talking about those people on the ground, right? Like like Mayor Bloomberg had something in his greenwood initiative where he wanted to put 70 billion dollars and And the most poor and disenfranchised hoods across America right ten most point disenfranchised hoods, right? Like to me I like stuff like that I must stop putting a dollar amount on those type of things only because I don't want to you know undercut us but Yes, there should be billions of dollars invested in hoods all across America like it should go to improving public schools It should go to improving hospitals It should go to improving housing because we all know environment You know a good environment automatically improves the kids mental and emotional health like it should go to you know Good health care, you know, I'm saying let me go to after school programs that free trade school in the hood You know me let people learn how to do things with their hands So now these kids not only can they go make a living they can rebuild their fucking neighborhoods because you got electricians over here And that conditions of air conditioning people over here and help carpenters over here like it's a lot of different ways So let me throw something. Let me throw something by you, right? We've heard of these programs have been put in these poor communities and to hopefully uplift these poor communities Not the first time the money's been put into the hood, right? Yeah, it depends I mean we can look at Barack Obama had certain programs and like plenty of other presidents had had certain programs and Mayors and governors have had programs to uplift poor communities not just black communities, but just poor communities in general, right? In black news and I'm sure it's the same as in Russian communities and other Kind of a new other other poor maybe communities whether there's like new immigrants, etc I'm sure there are people who are like leading industry within the poor community, right? And who are trying to rebuild that community like there's a guy in Houston. What's his name? Absolutely Slim Trug is that it? I mean, it's a lot of them doing that in Houston You got slim thug trade a troop trade a troop You got guys like Jay Prince like all those brothers in Houston invested and those are just the entertainers No, no, I get it Entertainers because that's what I know, right? So if I got money, I could give it to the government, right? Who's maybe if I have government money, I could give it to government officials who are maybe not the most Efficient with their spending, right? Because oftentimes you don't have the Best businessmen or most intelligent people in those government positions because you can't profit that much or I could go to someone who's already functioning Super well within that community and already has a profitable business within that community and I could give them an influx of cash And I could go what would you do with this money? How can we support you and you hey use this money to actually have a profitable business that you're gonna then hire people and You're gonna help grow like to me. I'm going what does nipsey hustle doing in his community All right, let's invest in nipsey let's invest in the guys that are already in those communities who understand how those communities function Not some white stiff who's on fucking Capitol Hill and then is gonna go to Compton and know exactly what Compton needs as far as a business Now go to the community ask them what they need what's gonna work What's gonna function and those business will be supported because the community already supports those people I'm not mad at any of that. You know what I'm saying That's like a good example of that is in Joe Biden's black agenda. He has this proposal for like a 900 million dollar Over eight-year grant program to fight gun violence, right? Okay, I don't even know what the fuck that means All right, I'm like, I'm like, how does that reduce gun violence? I would rather figure out ways to directly put that money in the hands of the people create opportunities for them That's how you reduce gun violence. You reduce gun violence by reducing power fucking tea That's how you reduce gun violence So give these kids an opportunity to do something positive with themselves Like that's why I said invest the money in the schools man invest the money into aftercare programs Invest the money in the free trade school invest the money in just the environment my fucking fix the fucking projects up You know I'm saying make these people's places that they live in look fucking decent So their mind state starts to change if you put a fucking human being in a shitty condition His mind is gonna be shitty. He's gonna feel like a fucking animal. How she's gonna feel like a fucking animal or a savage She's gonna feel downtrodden. She's gonna feel like fucking shit. We just out here. You know, man Like this we garbage all around us. So shit. That's life. That's all they know like no man Give people something to fucking inspire to Yeah, I like that man. I like the idea of like Fixing the community, but I like the idea of hiring people within the community fix the community, right? It's like I agree I agree with that the only problem I have with that. It's not even a problem. I just think that like Like promising black folks that they will rise via black capitalism through small businesses through Education through home ownership that isn't everybody's reality By the way, that's nobody's reality in America black or white like the US is not driven through small business economy And we exaggerate the return on investment when it comes to education. Okay, and I disagree with you on that I'll push back my education. Yeah, I think is the fastest way. I think it's the fastest way to Is the fastest way for class mobility meaning is the fastest way to go from let's say Middle-class to upper middle class or lower class to middle class the fastest way that you could possibly do that And you can do it within one generation is by education So you're telling me that all of these kids that have degrees out here right now Mm-hmm. They can't find a job. They have to continue their education. Don't get a degree I don't get a degree in poetry. Don't get a degree in literature degree in engineering You will have a job. All right That's the thing that people thought is like they think they just go to college and they study history and all of a sudden They don't have a real job and no bullshit if you do study history, you could get a job teaching you could get a real job I don't know if it's gonna increase your your class But you can choose when you go get your education to study engineering and you have a job when you come out Of college without a doubt. I think that's what we have to start saying and when we talk about education speak on it It's about it's about what you major in I bought you I didn't go to college and all listen to fucking me This is pure brilliant idiot logic. You major you majored in radio and now what happened? I did I did you're right but but like You're gonna be a doctor You know something in the medical field you gonna make some money. You're gonna get a job All right, you do something engineering. You're gonna make some money. You'll get a job. You become an attorney You're probably gonna make some money. You're gonna get a job like stuff like bro Literally your counselor because I know we live in like this Individualistic society where we tell kids like do whatever makes you feel good And I do believe that if you have the opportunity to do whatever makes you feel good But your college counselor should tell you hey, these are the jobs that America thinks they're gonna need in four years They're in these fields and these are the schools that have openings in these fields that fit the grades that you have Do you want a guaranteed job making? 60 grand a year the second you get out of college or 80 grand a year whatever some engineers make do you want that? Yes, I'd like that. That's what you study. You're out of poverty Cuz cuz right now you would you would be pushing kids toward the tech world right hundred percent. That's what you did out That's what I'll did what I'll do The I'll did every fucking job. He's like force gum, but he was a nurse. He did psycho what you did psychology Psychology and then there was one other thing. Oh He became a cop You was a cop Alex. Yeah, bro. Alex. We need you back on the police force Yeah, you got fucking Garcia's beating the shit out of people That Mexican the Spanish What the fuck is the guys what is Fernando Fernando Garcia? What is that? That sounds Mexican? That shit could be Filipino Don't claim them. But nah, I get what you said I don't I don't I don't want us to even a home ownership like that's not the only path to wealth either Don't say it totally true. That's not the only path to wealth So it's solid for people who already have a little something But you know what you know home ownership is good for is good for guys like me and you that And don't let me speak on your behalf, but you and I I assume don't really understand The financial markets Right to the point where we're willing to dump hundreds of thousands of dollars in there, right? That's why I got a financial guy now you have a financial guy But like a guy like me and you who understands our craft and has disposal income because of our craft We also understand the concept of if I buy that home It's gonna probably increase in value over the next 10 20 years And I'm already paying rent anyway, so I might as well pay a mortgage. That's simple enough for us Simple whether we're even and even if it doesn't increase in value. I'm paying my money back Yeah, I'll get my money back or something. That's it. Yeah, it's at the least I got a house That's it. I'm gonna have to pay rent regardless. I might as well pay mortgage and then I get to own it after boom I'm good. It's the simplest form of investment Now if you I honestly I'm ignorant when it comes to Investing in stock market. I don't know what a fucking vanguard account is a vtx disc or that a berkshire hat the way I don't really know that much. So if someone's telling me a show. It's give me a hundred thousand dollars And I'll put it in the market. I'm skeptical of that. I'm like, what is that? What does that mean? You're gonna put in a market Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I did that a few weeks ago um And I check it every night. I don't know why Because you're paranoid be you're like, yo, they run away with it I did a smp 500. So it's like a very diversified portfolio. So like investments and a lot of different things. But for me, it's like My guy told me to look at that and walk away, bro. Yep That's 15 years 30 years down the line. Don't even worry about it Son, why am I going on to look at it every night? I don't fuck because you don't trust that shit fam It's like look a listen. Give me your money and walk away. Isn't that every robbery? That's literally the beginning and end of every robbery. Give me your money now. Walk away. Okay, walk walk away. Yeah No, you're right. You're absolutely right But I will say that's couple weeks that shit went up. Right. I was like, oh, shit You probably did the right thing I think there I think some people say that the most money is going to be made the biggest transfer of wealth always happens during economic crisis Everything and it's sad. That's that's fuck. But once again, that's fucked up. I think christis article I meant to send it to you too. It was this article about this woman. I forgot where she's from But she has been been predicting shit like this for years. Like she predicted it And it's not like a psychic. She's something else But she predicted like the corona virus and this and that right she said what's going to come next is One of the things is a lot of people who are already rich I'm going to come out this come out of this situation even richer Right, but that gap between the haves and the have not just going to be even wider And even worse. Yep. And that's when the civil unrest is going motherfucking start. Yep That's just I I can see that coming a mile of fucking way Like a lot of that shit is just like common sense, but you can just see it coming a mile away, man I just listen. Like I said, uh Biden's economic plan isn't bad, but it's it's it's it's not for people who Who who don't have it's for people who have You know a little bit of something they can afford to invest in those type of things because like For me, like when it comes like even with home ownership, like, you know, I got to see, you know, um You know, you got you got to provide down payment assistance. Yep. You need capital, bro Yeah, you got to get black folks banked and recognized by credit scoring companies You got to enforce fair lending laws. You got to reduce foreclosures and evictions for motherfuckers That's fucked up now. Like and you got to increase the supply of affordable housing How about that? Like I love what Queen Latif was doing in Newark Queen Latif was building like Fort routine Affordable houses in Newark, you know what I'm saying? Like that's the type of shit you have to do If you really are trying to help, you know, people come up in the world and I still I believe in like a universal basic income, but I was talking to a brother Who doesn't believe in universal basic income and he had another um Another way to get that kind of money To people Which I thought was smart and I'm too dumb to read you believe in universal basic income I believe that if we can have You know 1.8 trillion Dollar stimulus packages or whatever the fuck it is. Right. Yes. I do believe that you can give People a little low hands up. I definitely believe that. Well, that's different. So Universal basic income is different than giving people a hand up Universal basic income is like a thousand dollars every month for every American citizen Right. So you're not really giving people a hand up if everybody gets it Because now everybody's hand is at the same height again Well, as long as you as long as there's no inflation Well, if you know if you don't if you don't if you don't change anything in the economy Like like in the market like you don't change anything in the market and you keep everything the way that it is Right, you give everybody a thousand dollars That's that's gonna get the economy. Boom. If you get everybody a thousand dollars a month disposable income Yeah, but what usually will happen is um I guess the way economies work from what I've been reading about it is a inflation happens when there's too much money and not enough things to buy And by increasing the amount of money without increasing the amount of things to buy money could start to become less valuable Right. So like if you look at like the fall of empires Usually the fall of empires happens when one they're in nonstop wars Which is kind of what we're going through and two when they start inflating their own money Just printing money to pay for those wars. So the universal basic income thing. It sounds good But in reality, I don't think it works man. I think you just people end up being in the same place that they were It's like, oh, and now everybody has another thousand dollars. Okay, well rent ends up being a thousand dollars more Now we're all back to even I will say this though. This is america in america. They will never There's an endless supply of useless shit the bible. Yeah fair enough Fair enough. Like this is this is the country that sold the chia pet. Yeah What the fuck why the fuck would we ever buy a goddamn chia pet? This is the country that bought remember them little sea monkeys you could buy and put in the water Yeah, and they would tear like what the fuck was that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know man Like whatever all the long story short. I give diddy, uh props because did he uh magnet He put a microphone to a conversation that's been going on for the past year or some change And look man if mother fuckers want to play ball, they gotta play ball He's all about negotiating baby, and you know what maybe it's important that like People connect those two things Because I think it's too easy to go Ah, fuck diddy for saying that fuck him and then a couple weeks later You actually have a black agenda from biden and you left in a week Oh, yeah a week later you have a black agenda from biden and then people might just forget that What did he said or what you were saying what other people were saying inspired it If you connect both of those things then maybe people will start to speak out more because they're like Oh shit when I speak out, I'm heard You know what I'm saying? Listen, man She'll amen to god. I want y'all to write this down. Yeah You get what you demand You encourage what you tolerate, huh? Simple as that. Huh what you demand you encourage what you tolerate if you don't say shit You're gonna keep getting exactly what the fuck you've been getting all of these years Shit Because clearly you're tolerating it. You know what I mean when you tell the motherfucker to back up off you Or there might be some consequences and repercussions then a motherfucker probably going back up off you Right at least enough to see if you really about that shit. You kick it And then when he realized me about that shit, you could he went hit you with that shit Mike Tyson was doing on god damn instagram live This fucking week right might say he want to come back bro. I know he's bored, huh? Man, Mike said he gonna Mike said he about to get in the ring and do three and four rounds Uh for charity I'm I'm I'm here for that. Yeah, but who wants that smoke bro? I'm not getting in a ring with that No, I wouldn't fight Mike Tyson. No You got that old man strength now too. Oh Mike Tyson to knock you to fuck out man. You know, it's so interesting. What's that? I um, I was sitting back thinking about this right and I guess we can go into the to deep die Well, what about what a fucking idiot? Oh, what a fucking damn we didn't do no She had to be some stupid motherfuckers this week, right? Who was stupid this week? Yo, you know who's kind of stupid talk to me. Isaiah Thomas, bro Why is he stupid because he just don't know that nobody likes him I wouldn't be mad at that if I was like yo Zeke is an alpha male, bro Hey All respect to Zeke alpha male. I'm gonna fuck how many times he kiss magic Johnson in the mouth alpha fucking man You got to be alpha male to go kiss him up fuck with aids and be like, I ain't getting it Whoa, whoa, come on, bro. That's an alpha move. Jesus Christ. That's an alpha move That's not an alpha move. Yeah, it's like, yo, nobody could beat me not even aids and then you go Smooch a dude who got it. Isaiah was kissing magic before magic got diagnosed with age. That's number one. Number two Clearly Americans ain't scared of no goddamn viruses. All right Isaiah give a fuck No, but like it just turned out. I think magic Johnson been on CNN all week Say again Why you think magic been on CNN for the past two weeks? He has magic beyond everybody's show And I'm just sitting there like magic is the symbol of why we ain't afraid to know goddamn viruses That's what magic represents. Sleuth the magic Johnson every time I see magic on CNN I beat my chest like that's right open up america. God damn it. Let's go Let's fucking go. All right I'm out here being pussy and magic been living with this shit for 30 fucking years. Let's fucking go No He's on there with no fucking gloves. No, uh, no mask. No gloves. No protection. Still no protection There's no protection magic to go Why you don't like the I didn't say I don't like them. I actually like people who irritate Others and aren't wildly liked by everybody. I relate to it now That's just it's a problem. I have now that being said He seems to be unaware of the fact uh, or unaware why he was left off that team But from everybody else it seems like He wasn't the old jordan wasn't the only person that didn't like him Jordan didn't like him. Pippin didn't like him, right? All right, Larry bird Larry didn't like him bird didn't like him. Um They said magic, but I don't I don't know if I agree with that I think him and magic might have had some issues. So they you know, they had a but they loved each other I don't think they said magic in the doc though. Now. Here's the thing that nobody's talking Talks about but I think it's really interesting. Who coached that team Chuck daily who no, no, no. Yep. You right chuck daily. No, no, no. Mike Microseski was the original dream team Chuck daily was I don't know No, it was it was Chuck daily who coached that team So Chuck daily and chris you could speak up if i'm wrong, but chuck daily coached that team, right Chris, I know he I think he was either dream team one or dream team Yeah, so Chuck daily coached that team Chuck daily was it's coach If if he was really truly wanted on that team His coach Did let him to two championships would have fought for him and he did not I don't even know if Chuck daily liked that tea Yeah, but Chuck daily didn't have no power over Michael Jordan magic johnson, of course, of course, but he could offer He could offer and it seemed like that wasn't even made like rod thorn I think it's rod thorn who's getting interviewed the whole time never said yo chuck daily came to me and he fought for it But I had to say no Right like it seemed like it was known That is a was on the team because I say it wasn't like and I say it was gonna fuck up the vibe Just don't be listen. I agree with you, you know, but I tell people this all the time if you are one of those people You know who I'm sure me and andrew definitely are who We know people don't like us for whatever reason don't act delusion don't act fucking delusional about it. Yeah You know, I'm saying like I can't see here. I hate people like that. I hate people who Do things have said things and then when people push back on them and don't want them around they act like What Like motherfucker, you know exactly why like stop it stop it But I fuck with Zeke though Zeke is an alpha male. I heard Zeke got your hands to boy. Oh, yeah, you can fight Man, I heard Zeke will put them fucking pause. Talk to me. That's what I heard about I heard I was reading my man Artemis Gordon's instagram who I love Artemis Gordon If you don't follow Artemis Gordon, I have no idea who Artemis Gordon is He don't put no pictures up with himself. He hasn't a picture for himself He'd be having these great Old school stories. I guess like he knows every fucking size I love that part of the doc where Zeke goes They never said none of this to my face like he called Jordan and the bulls pussy He basically was like, yo, Michael Jordan's a pussy. Scottie Pippin's a pussy They don't talk that same shit when they're around me But that's what he said they said like Isaiah they said Isaiah always stood up for himself They say Isaiah fought for a lot of causes behind the scene that people didn't know about like he was getting his activism on Okay, they said the league never wanted him to be a face of the league because they couldn't control him You know what I'm saying? He wasn't one of those good old because you gotta think about it The league was supposed to go bird magic Jordan. Yep The pistols jumped in and disrupted that shit for a couple of seasons Right, and so uh, and they said that when when Isaiah was the type of person that would step to you And if you said some shit, he want to know what the fuck is going on because he had them goddamn hands Isaiah from Chicago, let's not get it fucked up. That's true Like the south side of some shit like that's true Isaiah, Isaiah ain't pussy by no means Hmm. I love you know the documentary is not finished yet What? It's not finished. They just finished. They just they just finished episode nine and um, they put in the finishing touches on episode 10 Oh, you broke my heart, man. I thought they're gonna add more episodes. I thought it's not gonna be just 10 I thought it's gonna be like 12. Oh, no, no, no. They had to move it up I mean, it's it's about to get good. Are you about to go with episode seven and eight? Yeah I am I'm intrigued man, and I never thought about this and this is how This is how you realize where mirror mortals, okay, right? And and and like how you can't you know, put yourself in somebody else's shoes In this case, you can't put yourself in somebody else's Jordan You look at Michael Jordan and you say to yourself Why would he ever walk away? Why would he ever walk away? If you watch that fucking documentary this week, you get it, huh? You realize how exhausted yeah is to be him how much of a lonely life It is to be him. There was no other Michael Jordan Nobody else could relate to what the fuck Michael Jordan was going through when he was sitting in his hotel smoking That cigar and just wanting to relax Do you understand how peaceful that was to Michael because from the time Michael stepped out of his hotel? He was bombarded Flooded all the fucking time and when they started picking them apart in the media There was a very poignant line in that documentary somebody said it They said that magic said it. They said that Uh, man, I can't remember was the news anchor. I can't remember the news anchor's name right now, but the Not a mod machete a mod was shot. It was the other black brother It wasn't a mod shot the other brother, but he said I'm sorry. Did you see the meme of a mod or shot going on about his groomsmen for his wedding? Oh, yeah, I saw that Amad had a point though. OJ Simpson and Bill Cosby said OJ Amad had a point though. I saw a mod tweet. Amad was real what he said. Somebody said, yo Amad said Because the guy said something something to the effect like wow Amad Rashad had the most problematic groomsmen of all time. The mod goes come on They were they really problematic in the 80s. Did y'all really think that? Yeah time There were those are the bells of the fucking ball at the time Amad Rashad was the fucking man Have OJ Simpson and Bill Cobby and his fucking wedding. Yeah, stop knock it off. But magic Johnson said Was a mod sports Arsenio No I mean, it seemed like he had this relationship with the players that was different than most of these other like sports journalists And that like Jordan just calls him and he's like, hey, I want to talk to you. Let's do an interview Black privilege. He was like the only black guy. That's what I'm saying. Was he Arsenio? Did he was an ex-athlete? He was a footballer Okay, he's all him as an ath. Okay. Okay. So there was this like camaraderie As someone had that experience. Yeah, he used to play for the Raiders. Okay. Okay. Um Yeah, and and not only that but he was the only black person in that position at the time on NBC Like yeah, he was a high profile like that. Yeah, he was great But one of you said one of the one of the sports they could say that magic Johnson said If y'all don't lay off this man speaking of Michael joy. Oh, that's right. Yeah He's gonna walk away from this game. Yeah Because it was too much for him. So now think about it. You already at your breaking point You're already saying yourself man. I think I'm gonna walk away from this shit and then Sadly your father gets killed. Hmm I got emotionally mentally and I'm I'm sure they're gonna get through that in the next two episodes But emotionally and mentally he had to be over it Over it motherfuckers be like, yo, what about all that money man? Money is not every fucking thing Money does not buy happiness money to not buy a piece of fucking mind When we all learn that shit, you know when you learn it when you get money when you get fucking money You can't know that unless you get some money Yeah, you're right No, you're fucking right. Yo, I was thinking about that shit. It made me think about LeBron I actually posted that people got mad. I didn't even I didn't even think I forget that you can't mention LeBron and Michael. I was not making a comparison about them as athletes Yeah, I saw that post You know what I was talking about just mental fortitude, but explain the post though for everybody who didn't see it Well, I was let me let me you were like what like could Jordan survive in the social media age now Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna read it verbatim because um I just want to be clear about what the fuck I was saying Because people would just be mad about every goddamn thing not that I give a fuck But I can bring it up unless you don't know you got it. I got my laptop right here, baby I've got to get back to sunday. I don't tweet that much so it should it should be coming up soon Here we go Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Yes. I said, can you imagine If mj came up in the social media era I said watching the media pressure Jordan was under during that first repeat makes you respect LeBron even more staying sane his entire career and When you look at LeBron and Michael, they didn't have the same trajectory as far as how they came into the league LeBron Had the spotlight on him since high school in a real way Right, they was calling him the chosen one in high school, right? So literally his first game in the nba. He had all those bright lights around him And then he actually started succeeding right now He's living up to expectations. So everything grows now you become the biggest ball player of this modern era, right? Yeah, not only do you got to deal with traditional media? You got to deal with social media and the thing that hurts LeBron the most or I think that put more pressure on him than Jordan LeBron wasn't winning When Jordan when you shut the fucking critics up When LeBron wins whatever you was getting multiplies times a hundred You know I'm saying so for me I'm just like damn for LeBron to have the mental fortitude to hear all of this noise All of the time from the critics from people from everybody would still go out there and perform, right? Even if he's not winning championships every year, but just to go out there every night and still average 25 28 14 whatever the fuck he's doing. That's commendable, bro. That's fucking commendable. Yeah, it is man It's uh, there was some there was some fucking bars in there that Jordan really gave us and uh that one thing about um Uh The one thing about like you're never gonna satisfy everyone I think you you'll never do everything that they want you to do So if your goal is to try to satisfy everyone you will always fail Because you know what I'm saying like because he's like if I just want to focus on basketball Of course the basketball fans are gonna be happy But the people who want me to be an activist are gonna be pissed if I just focus on activism Then the people who just want me to quote unquote, you know, shut up and dribble or whatever it is Are gonna be pissed, right? And I think he learned that shit the hard way but low key you have to satisfy yourself Absolutely. I think we all have a problem with um Variety, right? Um I think we have a problem with variety because when we see Something right like say Muhammad Ali is this great athlete who sets a certain bar, right? Our kareem Abdul-jabbar is a certain kind of athlete who sets a certain bar bill russell jim brown Whoever it was they set a certain bar Uh, john carlos these guys set a bar when it came to athletes using their platform right the activists I think it was Shocking to some people that that wasn't michael jordan You know, I mean, yeah, I don't think that was magic either at the time I mean in the future maybe but at the time when magic was playing ball That's what we knew magic for we didn't know magic for You know making stands against racial injustice or making stand against social injustice. And by the way If michael jordan Just wants to play basketball. He's not hurting anybody. Yeah by doing that, you know what I'm saying Yeah, like and and listen, I think everybody should use their platform to speak out if they want to Yes, you know, I'm saying if you don't want to I'm not mad at him for that Yeah, you can yeah No, I'm just saying he said he made the comment and just you know, republicans buy shoes too Yeah, I can totally see that coming out of his mouth, especially after watching the doctor Yeah, it seems like it's your thing to say, right? Yeah, you know what I'm saying So it it honestly didn't bother me. He said he donated money to the guys campaign. Yeah, by the way probably Helped him more than a fucking Jordan endorsement would anyway. I don't I mean, I don't know I'm just saying I don't know. Yeah, no, but it's just like I that that part didn't bother me Like I don't look at Michael Jordan the way I look at Muhammad Ali You know I'm saying like and and I don't like the whole debate about LeBron's the greatest athlete of all time because of what he does off the court. No That's not how that works Yeah, yeah, you get just based on what you do on the court if we're talking about on the court Basketball we talking basketball and low-key like we could we could always go back like the way that somebody Conducts their life and the influence they are to other people and getting into that level of power And the amount of people that you can empower under you Right has a huge influence and it is activism in and of itself That's what Michael said Michael said that my Michael said I would influence and inspire you through my actions Exactly, and I think we can't discredit that now It's easier to look at a guy like Ali right who is out there fighting for and it was marching And he was willing to go to jail for his principles, etc It's easier to look at him and see what he did right If if we put both their careers next to each other, I don't know has did Ali Employ more people than Michael black people specifically has Michael put more money in black people's pockets Maybe as he helped more communities has he donated more money to black organizations? Like if we literally go next to each other and put them maybe Michael has had a greater impact on black progress Then Ali did without being an activist. It's possible It depends what you call progress like uh like like like financial corporate progress. Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure Michael Jordan is leaps and bounds. You know what I mean when it comes to like social progress It's it's Ali by far Because I Ali protested and and not even just for black people Ali protested of the vietnam war for people who just Didn't want to go fight in the vietnam war. He was like, yo my people are over here getting depressed Why am I gonna go over there and fight for this country when this country ain't even doing my people right? But did that stop the war? It didn't stop the war But he was one of the first people to highlight that it was an unjust war going on and eventually everybody realized that Eventually america realized, you know what Martin Luther King jr. Was right. You know what Muhammad Ali was right? You know what whoever whoever was speaking out against the vietnam war eventually america realized That they were correct but some would make the argument that america didn't Realize that the war was corrupt until Uh the draft kicked in and all these white kids had to start going to the war And then all of a sudden their parents were like, yo, yo, why are we sending my parent? Why are we sending my kids to the war? I'm rich my kids not supposed to fight in wars And they and they were and that's basically what ali them was saying right but like the argument by some would be It wasn't ali's activism and again. I'm not trying to take away nothing from ali I think it's so brave. They bought a lot of attention to 100 Martin Luther King jr. Muhammad Ali bought a lot of attention and by the way I'm sure that it was white people out there who are on the front lines protested too They just weren't a famous is Martin Luther King jr. Muhammad Ali 100% 100% No, no and look You cannot deny the immense sacrifice that he made because he lost How many how long of his career because he wouldn't go to the war like he was put in prison for it Yeah, I just think you know, I just think uh to your point I just think you can't deny jordan's effect man And we act like he hasn't had a an effect on civil rights or he hasn't had an effect on the progress of black people But I disagree. I think that you could probably Compare them if you really looked at it. Forget the civil rights. Let's talk about economic empowerment. Boom Let's talk about the fact that you know, Michael Jordan changed the way You know, uh corporate entities deal with these athletes He changed the way that nba had to fucking pay people. You know, I mean he changed the way that you know Endorsement deals work. He showed people that they can get equity in sneaker companies like Yeah, I mean that's like I said everybody plays a part Ali did his part Jordan came along and he did his part the bronze here now He's doing his part, but they all stand on the shoulders of each other. Sure. They all stand the shoulders each other I just hate that The view of jordan in a lot of people's eyes is he's some sellout because he didn't speak out verbally When if you really look at the impact He's he might have had a more profound economic impact on black people then Then Ali he might have maybe not it's possible and I'm an Ali guy I love Ali, but I cannot take away Jordan's impact. By the way, I'm not I'm not even gonna say it's possible Yes, I know it's true. Yeah Yeah, Jordan brand is a Jordan brand is a multi-billion dollar industry. Yes, right I know it's true all Jordan's kids work at fucking Jordan brand right now As they should by the way. Yeah nepotism at his fucking finest We had we had all his kids on the breakfast club this week Marcus Jeffrey and uh jasmine and I just like hearing no stories about how he fucking Burnt his daughter sketchers What do you mean? What happened that fucking daughter sketches on fire. I'm fucking Jordan Let's go Let's go What he said his fucking daughter sketches on fire man, get them shit the fuck out of here He said he tackled his fucking son one of his sons said man, we were playing football And uh, you know, uh, we was playing football and and we was playing it in the house And he said my dad's so competitive I'm thinking he's about to let me score the touchdown as soon as I'm about to get across the goal line Boom That my fucking head hits the glass table is blood everywhere is bleeding to the white meat. Oh that shit and I go Well, first of all That's your dumbass playing football with Michael Jordan. Who the fuck plays football with Michael Jordan Why the fuck would you play football with Michael Jordan? That's why I don't give that's your daddy at night. That's Michael fucking Jordan Get on the goddamn basketball court and learn something That was wrong with you. Yeah, but that's who Michael was. I'm not mad. I'm not mad at that I don't know man.

Yeah, man That's why when they show him when they like I'm gonna show you um Isaiah say remember they showed that part like that Is what happened and you know how competitive Michael is if they're gonna talk some shit Then Michael's gonna get honest about it.

Let's get back to the show Andrew you got any church announcements, baby? Shit I wish I wish the church is closed Yo, check out the biden piece that we did every week every saturday. We drop a new piece and um I think it's a really cool lane that we found in uh That is empty right now in comedy, which is like A comedy without any kind of political bias about talking about you know an issue that happened this week We take one issue one thing that um, we feel strongly about and then uh, we just write a piece on it and then put it out and I go straight to camera and um It's just really cool to see people respond to it because again Like you know a lot of these guys that are attached to a network You know a network for the most part is going to be a pull You know a political marketing arm for one of these You know groups and uh, we decide not to do that We're just going to do the funniest joke and the funniest take regardless of you know who it aligns with So it's cool to see people Respond man, and thank you for reposting that. I appreciate that That's dope, man. Um, also, I want you to go to my youtube page. You know, I've been um What I've been attempting to do is You know share tools And resources that I use not just in my everyday life but things that are actually helping me get through You know the quarantine and you know, it's not like I can share my therapist with people Right, I mean, so you know when I do my teletherapy, that's between me and my therapist But you know, I I read a lot, you know, and I love Deepak Chopra and I love Dom Miguel Ruiz and I got to salute my sister Devi Brown who I Absolutely positively adore that's been my homey for like 13. Shit 13 years Damn, maybe longer 12 13 years something like that and you know, um watching dev grow in that mindfulness space the way that she has you know She's she's got books out, you know about crystal stones You know what means you got her podcast dropping gems like she's really in that mindfulness space And you know her and Deepak Chopra have connected on a real level and she was like, yo You got to sit with Deepak, you know, and she's you know made a couple of those those meetings happen We were all supposed to go to his retreat. Um This month, but of course that's not happening. So I interviewed Deepak A couple weeks ago via zoom and that was a great conversation And then me and him did an instagram live together and both of those are up on youtube But also Dom Miguel Ruiz, man, you know, I've been a big fan of totic wisdom forever You know the four agreements the fifth agreement, you know The mastery of love the voice of knowledge like these are books that I've I've read in my life that have really, you know, helped me out and I randomly Just reached out to Dom Miguel Ruiz via the dm Like I just sent him with dm like, yo, this is Charlemagne the god Uh, you know, I would love to interview Don. I explained who I was because I don't didn't assume that he knew And they hit me right back. Really like Charlemagne. Yes. We would love for Don To sit with you like oh So thank you to Carla Ruiz. I don't know what what relation Carla is to Don, but Carla made that happen in two seconds. Like I literally sent him a dm like literally like man I got to talk to fucking Dom Miguel Uh Like and I did so, you know Next on my list is Judy bloom if I can get fucking Judy bloom, baby Man, if I can get Judy bloom. What the kids are the kids book author Judy bloom goddamn, right Interesting Judy bloom shaped my form of the fucking years What were the books you wrote like some murder mysteries or like mystery? I don't know. Are you there god? It's me margaret blubber Fucking um freckles freckles juice. Oh, no, I feel a little before grade. No No, that wasn't Judy. Oh, no, that was Judy. Tell them before grade nothing I'm about to say that was Ramona Quimby. No, that was a Beverly clearly No, tell them before grade nothing was Judy bloom like Judy bloom. Yeah, absolutely motherfucking Like help craft my formative years when my mama told me to read things that don't pertain to you That's the first shit. I started reading Judy about shit about little white girls Okay, little white future cairns. All right And it motherfucking helped me out a lot So if I can sit down with Judy bloom because she's much older And they say she got like this coffee shop somewhere and they say people literally going sitting this coffee shop and just wait to see her They said she comes by the coffee shop every now and then but man I don't give a fuck if I get to do a zoom or in person if I get to probably be over zoom But if I get to sit down with Judy bloom, I will feel like I have done something in my life Why uh, what would you ask her? What are you curious about? What is A lot. I mean just for me. Um, like I said, my mom told me to read things that don't pertain to me and it's like for whatever reason it just opened up my My mind to not only a whole new world, but just a A different Demographic of people so to speak. Okay, you know what I mean? Because even you know growing up while I grew up in monks corner south can line is it's it's not like You know, like like Thomas my god, Tom Thomas was my first white friend. Yeah, but I didn't look at Thomas white Yeah, two kids living on a dirt road. So our experiences were pretty much the same You know, I mean like culturally. It wasn't that different culturally It wasn't different when I read Judy bloom books culturally those people's lives are fucking different You know what I mean totally like like ask mom. What's the suburb? Mom, what's the suburb? What is this cold coldest sack? Like so it's just like yeah, and even just like uh, you know, um Are you there goddess me margaret? Even the struggle of the insecurities of a woman who wanted breasts Ah Regardless if it was a woman or not and the woman wanted breasts Anybody can relate to the insecurity of wanting something that you don't have and you don't have it yet But yet it's coming. You're right. Right. You know what I'm saying Right. So when you're a young kid growing up on a dirt road in monks corner stocking line Yeah, you don't have the things that you want yet Right. It's like your her mantra was I must I must I must increase my bust Everybody can have a mantra that they repeat over and over and over and over and over that sites them up to get what the fuck they want Right. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, I just I just think I I feel like her books uh Had a real impact on me when I was a kid But long story short go to my youtube page youtube.com backslash c to god cth a g o d and you can go Uh, watch the interview with dom and get over wheeze as well as deepak Chopra Yeah, you make an interesting point. Oh also by the way youtube page is uh, do us a favor go subscribe to the uh, Brilliant idiots clips youtube page where we cut up a lot of the conversations we have and we put those out as clips And we're trying to build that up man so that they can uh hit that youtube algorithm So if you could go to youtube.com slash brilliant idiots clips Um, that would really help us out. So make sure you do that But you make an interesting point about like reading things that don't apply to you at all like I think reading a lot of ways is like a form of travel Does that make sense? Hell yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah Like you get to be a voyeur in this world That has nothing to do with you if you choose to read something like that And really learn a lot about it in an intimate way And for people who don't have tons of money or for people who don't have the access to uh to travel It probably means everything to them It's like, whoa, you got to take me to paris when I read this or you got to take me to Some white girls, you know house in the suburbs when I read, you know Some judy bloom But uh reading is reading is what helped me transcend my circumstances reading and music Yeah, reading and music. I didn't get on a plane till I was 21 years old So think about you know, I'm saying I didn't get on a plane till I was 21 years old It's not like I like, you know, we drive down to miami I drive down to a land or my aunt lived right drove drove to new york or new jersey where my other aunts and uncles Live but just to get on a plane to actually travel for myself. I didn't do that till I was 21 Were you nervous when you did it? Like what was that reaction at first? It was after 9 11. So hell fucking yeah It was after 9 11 First time ever got on the plane was after 9 11 And and so what was going on? Uh, actually it was interesting because my my my og dr. Robert Evans dr. Robert Evans actually said Are you kidding me? It's the safest time to fucking fly right now. Oh, of course So, yeah, so that's what I did. I have my little cloth suitcase. I remember that vividly I remember landing at the airport getting my luggage and him dr. Evans laughing at me like a motherfucker because I had like I never traveled. I had like my mom's Old ass fucking cloth suitcase. Yeah, you know, I mean, I know I look fucking crazy But I never had traveled. So it was like it was just something new. So I wasn't nervous per se I feel like new experience. I feel like when we do things as kids, right? Like We Forget the initial emotions we've had with them, you know, like the first time I went swimming I can't remember it. So I can't remember what it was like to just be in water and floating like And then it's just become part of who I am, right? So I'm curious at 21 the first time you're flying like are you looking out the window scared shitless? Like are you accepting what this is? Could you really react or relax at all when you're in the air? I think I might I'm sure I had a panic attack You know I'm saying for me it just felt it felt I remember having a feeling of like I was really um accomplishing shit in life because I was uh I was doing full-time radio on hot 98 9 and Charleston South Carolina at the time So I used to do Monday through Friday 7 to midnight. I was only making 19 grand a year But I didn't give a fuck. I'm the man in my city. Ain't nobody fucking with me. Right. Um, You can ask all the bad bitches and all the real nigga, uh, and then um, and all the what? All the bad bitches and all the real what? That's the ti line man in my city ain't nobody fucking with me. You can ask the bad bitches and all the real niggas I was known drug dealer. I always had killers in the thugs and the killers was all the class with me but I flew to new york from Charleston and I just felt like the man And I was going to new york because I was doing a and r for never so deep records at the time You know, which was a record label that was a subsidiary of mca. I just really felt like I was moving in life That's what I that's how I honestly felt. That's what I remember feeling. I remember feeling like oh, shit. I'm in new york, you know, I mean like Like I'm I'm living I'm living that life and I had a hundred dollars I had a hundred dollars the whole time I was in new york. How long were you here? Shit, I think I was here for like four days Four fucking days for a hundred dollars and I remember the first day me and my dude dj bless the luther dj bless We went into the I don't know if it was a bodega with some type of story in new york We ordered like hoagies And that shit was like 15 dollars And I was like, I ain't gonna make it for four fucking days This is how this shit is going. I'm not gonna be able to fucking make it and hoagies are fucking 15 dollars It's the first fucking day I've been in for two hours. This shit ain't gonna cut it, bro so Yeah, I don't know that's interesting right that whole feeling of um What the first time feels like I always feel like that first time you don't really have Any emotions towards anything if if if you're not if somebody doesn't style you to the experience right if somebody doesn't tell you What they expect you don't really have no expectations of shit, right? I don't think so anyway I think your expectations are built up based on what you like seeing here Right, so you've seen and heard people fly and talk about it and probably all the times you saw people flying in movies It was like some you know playing crash or This was after 9 11. Yeah, so that's all you're thinking about and that's gonna inform your feelings in a moment Absolutely. Let's let's do some shit you won't care about next week. Oh, yeah, what you got and did you deep dive? I mean the deep dive can either be the bulls thing Oh, I got a good deep dive, bro. Okay, holy fucking shit By the way, we could deep dive more than once in the podcast facts. We could deep dive a few times Okay, go man 50 cent had a a conversation with our guy van lately. Okay, and um Van asked him does he love his son his first son? and 50 said I used to Right and he said he went on to quote his grandfather. He said if it slid is like a steak Is it a snake or do you need to be bit? But what 50 said that was so interesting to me 50 said, um I guess you got to ask yourself the question How long do you continue to love something that doesn't love you back? Oh It's a great fucking question. I mean the answer to that question is if it's your kid until you die Yeah, right that's your kid bro. It's this different you can't abandon that kid if he doesn't love you you have to understand He's a child You know, he's a child and Children, you know correct their ways but children can be a pain in the ass and I'm sure he has his reasons for not Liking his dad I bet you a lot of the reasons have to do with the baby mother though. Sure because because you never know what the baby mother Has put in the child's head over the years because a lot of times it's like a transfer of energy, right? You're mad at the father the father ain't shit The person that's around you all the time is your child the child is witnessing y'all argue The child is witnessing you tell your home girls and other family members how he ain't shit and you know, eventually That pain you feel because you don't like the father Sometimes can go into the child. Yeah, I mean so I I respected I get why any child would arrive with the mom But I think a guy like uh, you know the young brother 50, uh, I think his name is marquis I think marquis You know God God God forbid because you know, I want everybody to Have have kids with the person they plan to marry But if he does have a baby's mother one day He don't understand the baby mother baby mother puts them on on that kind of pressure under that kind of pressure I think he'll understand You know, I'm saying I've seen that happen a million times. I've seen sons hate the fathers Until they get put in that position and then they understand The dynamic between a father and a mother Right, they understand that shit ain't sweet. They understand that look son I'm not around you because I don't love you. I'm not around you because she won't let me right You know, I mean, I'm not just a bad thing than you. I'm not coming around because she won't Give me that she won't allow me to right. I think that um Yeah, I think that is a thing. What do you what do you think about when do you stop loving something? I mean, I would hope that I never could stop loving my kid I really would hope that And I'd hope I'd have the wisdom to go one day He's gonna understand this and I would never want to say something on a podcast Like I don't love him anymore Because he's gonna hear that shit And if you're saying it on a podcast you want him to hear it What about outside of kids though? Because this can this can go into Oh, you know people who have dreams. Nah, fuck you're dead to me If you if you're a snake and you hold on if somebody if somebody is disloyal to me Oh, and there's a snake to me. Oh, yeah, I'm not loving him forever. You got what is it called? My love is conditional, bro. My love is absolutely come on, man. I don't play that shit Oh, god, what'd you say to I have a question. What if your son or child? um Did something like against the law like what go someone or they break someone or whatever like can you still love that part? I don't think that you can turn it off I don't think you can turn it off like if you love them you love them You you could be mad at them and angry at them and pissed off at them and Disappointed and embarrassed and all that shit, but that's still Your fucking child That's why I always say if your mother abandoned you you really a piece of shit Because though nobody love you unconditionally like a fucking like your mom though. That's a fact if your mom Your mom cuts you off. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You really a piece of shit, bro Yeah Now that's too far if your mom cuts you off. That's that's too far But yeah, I hear what you're saying Taylor. It's tricky like if they do something absolutely horrendous Can you stop loving your kid like if your kid kills your wife and his mom? Exactly? Oh, yeah, yeah I don't think you'll stop loving them. I think it'll hurt more because you love them so much I think you can simultaneously hate somebody and love them at the same time though. Yeah You know, I mean, I don't think you turn love off because because think about it You're always going to have those memories So even if somebody does something that horrendous to you, right? You're still going to think about all those times before The hypothetical pre-murder of you know, and you will feel responsible. You're like, what could I have done differently? How could I've raised them differently? Why is he have all this hate in them? Maybe if I was there more But sometimes we don't realize that yo all you can do is the best you can That's what dame of guver we says that's the fourth agreement and the four agreements always do your best If I did my best as a child, I mean as a parent I'm not responsible for what you fucking do as an adult Once you get to a certain point you start making your own choices in your own decisions That's on you because all I could do for you is what I could do something else Can shape other things in you others right? Right, right. You know what I'm saying? Let me ask you a question Are you doing your best and combing your beard because you haven't stopped doing that this entire podcast Because I got fucking i'm i'm obsessed. I don't know what you would call this shit. It's like OCD I think it's OCD. I think it's home, bro. I think that should might be perfect by now Like I just keep doing it, bro I'll be I'll be doing that shit to my head too. I just ain't got the kind of pick I want because you know, um My my my my sister tiffani haddish You know tiffani hit me one day. She was very concerned right about my hair very concerned about my hairline Yeah, and um She told me that I should try monestat seven and jamaican castor oil. She said take the monestat seven Put it inside that you're making castor oil mix it up and start applying that to your hair fly to the ball spots Because she said your hair isn't fucked up She's like you have a hairline that can be restored. You just have you just have patches I've been doing that shit, bro. I've been doing that shit for like a week. I've been seeing some results What and what has happened did the yeast infection go away? I think that shit is going away, bro Well, that's good. I think I think my fucking hair is growing out a little bit, bro I'm not gonna lie to you you want to show us you want to wait till like next week to really get it going I'm gonna wait till next week when I got a nice little frug. All right Nice little it's about right there right there. I'ma let it grow another inch like that. You know what I'm saying? All right. Okay. Also shit. You won't care about next week tyra fucking banks What did tyra do talking about hairlines? It's not tyra. It's people upset over tyra's old comments From america's next top model what she said I really I really need to know who to fuck you people are that wake up on a random Tuesday Because it was single to my own and this should happen a random taco fucking Tuesday And start attacking tyra banks for old shit. She said On a talk show that was one of the biggest shows out But but what was it though? It had reruns. It was just simple shit It was like they flipped the meme on her when she was lying and when she was yelling at the girl saying We was all rooting for you was all rooting for you now all of a sudden that meme y'all have been using for years Y'all think is mean There was another scene where she was talking to a girl and she said that her gap too Wasn't going to allow her to make it in the modeling world and then they cracked some jokes And then there was another one where she she made a white girl actually shave her tooth down to have a gap Because she said that was the new the new it thing Whatever the fuck made a girl shave her teeth to have a gap That's crazy, bro something like that if you are if you were a person back in the day Watch that and you felt offended by her making fun of the girl's gap. I totally understand That's how you felt back then that shit ain't gonna change now. You probably still hate that shit before all you johnny Come lately all you new motherfuckers who never heard of america's next top model And y'all are just getting these clips from fucking twitter and the like and y'all are Going in on tyra and posting about tyra. What the fuck is wrong with y'all Like do y'all lay this shit out on the bed? The night before and say tomorrow we gonna kill tyra because of these fucking comments Like i am just so sick of motherfuckers getting in trouble for for shit that they said back in the day Especially when that shit was made public for everybody. These ain't no secret recordings This is shit. We all heard back then and nobody gave a fucking fact It was one of the highest rated shows on television once again I'ma use this analogy and I need y'all to understand this highway said 70 miles per hour 20 years ago And I was doing 70 Now that the same highway the speed limit is 55 and i'm doing 55 out of respect But I understand the fucking rules and regulations of the land right don't start sending me goddamn speeding tickets from 20 years ago when I was going 70 This shit don't make no fucking sense, bro. What if we have a statute of limitations on Canceling people for what they say and The statue cancel culture say what no I hear what you're saying But like what if the statute of limitations is five years? Right because a lot can change in five years sentiments can change in five years, right? I say four four is always a good number because it's graduation. Sure four years doesn't matter So for anything more than four years ago, you cannot cancel Because you don't know what the culture was four years ago if it's said publicly. Yeah On tv Radio podcast. Yeah, you got 24 hours. Maybe 48. Fuck that Four years is too long. You got 24 real. Yo, you got 24 hours. Maybe fucking 48. What y'all gonna do next y'all gonna attack and live in color Y'all about to come after keenan and the wayans brothers now because of the edgy shit that they used to do Right the fuck you're gonna come after chapel. You're gonna go after old SNL show like what is next like what's next? Why do we do this? Like why do people give a fuck like listen and by the way you have every right to be mad on social media If you want to be mad on social media cool, nobody gives a fuck as long as that shit don't affect tyra banks in the real corporate world I'm cool. But that shit is just stupid to me like All of this shit you have to be outraged at it Andrew it is so much shit you could be outraged about right now in 2020 Why do you have to dig up shit from 20 years ago when the climate was different? They about to attack the bad boy pistons, bro How so about that they about to attack the bad boy pistons and say that they were a bunch of fucking thugs They could have killed scotty pippin. They could have killed michael jordan. They need to be brought up on charges This should have been a salt. Okay. Why wasn't fucking bill lambi ever arrested? I'm telling you They keep if you keep letting this type of shit happen. This was this how far it'll fucking go man I hate that shit. Yo, I can't fucking stand it I agree with you man. I think is I think it's bullshit and I think it's true. It's something we won't care about next week That's the beauty of this shit is like everybody gets upset and then they completely forget about it next week And maybe that's why we resent them so much for it because we're like you don't care You just want retweets. You just want attention. You are fraudulent You have told someone that they were a gap tooth idiot in your life Now tyra does it on a tv show when she's trying to help this chick become a model models Are about objectifying themselves, right? Like that's literally what it is. You want to be the most Objectifiable person that's what being a model is if she's giving you advice on how to be objectified better. You better take that shit Hey, like what are you upset about her for it's her job to tell you What's wrong with you and why you're not objectifiable. Yo, you got a hole in your teeth Okay, we can't objectify you as good with a hole in your teeth You get that shit fixed boom now we could objectify you better That's simple especially back then when there was like a strict criteria to be a model Yeah, there was none of these fat models. There was none of these retard models There was none of these like I think they're making down syndrome model like they're doing edit Like there's a model in a wheelchair is there's none of these like special needs models It was just are you hot or you not hot, right? But I also put a big girl model in the um America's top model though Like she was one of the first that promoted But that was a later season No, it wasn't that was like the second season. I don't even know. Oh, that was the car, right? Yeah, and what happened with her? She ate all the craft service or something Car had a good career, but she lost weight though, right But she's still like thick this is not like Taylor, I love the fact you coming to defend your people. You defend them plus You know what? You stand your fucking ground when it comes to those plus-sized models Taylor don't you let Don't let andrew talk crazy. Hey, bro. That shit is so stupid What all this shit Listen, uh, nicolas case shit. You won't care about next week. Nicholas. No, no, no.

Honestly, john ceo riley almost makes it over densel. John ceo riley almost makes it over tensel If i'm being honest i'm being honest I have no idea who the fuck pat riley seal is Joe. Listen john ceo riley, bro He can do drama. He can do comedy. He can do multi. It's dynamic notice We haven't said one female actor or actor notice not a single female actress comes close That's because we're fucking sexist. We're sexist pigs. Get the fuck out of here, man. Yo john c riley I don't even know his name.

It's densel woody harrelson. Nicholas cage and then the other one I got densel Tom hanks. Not tom hanks. It's it's preposterous. It's preposterous. What you just said crazy It's preposterous. You know tom hanks roles are so diverse, bro It's the same thing every single time. It really is the same thing every every single time Middle-aged emotional white guy middle-aged emotional white guy It's hard to play that And make people give a fuck for you think about it Think about it. Think about being a middle-aged emotional white guy my entire life We felt bad for tom hanks and castaway We felt bad for him as far as gump. We felt bad for him in big You know how hard it is to get a black man to feel bad for a privileged white man He was on island. He was on an island with the volleyball and then he was retarded. You could feel bad for those people You really gonna be a check your privilege Tom cruise or tom hanks, whatever check your privilege on that island. Why don't you check it? You say something you say something When tom hanks is trying to escape off that goddamn island His love for wilson that fucking volleyball Got de-attached from that little raft that motherfucker almost killed himself trying to save fucking wilson, bro It's the illest you've ever seen in my life. The only thing I hate about castaway. They didn't show him jacking off but They didn't ever show him jacking off. You know, he was on island for years. He jacked off. Yeah I mean, what do you think he was eating for the first three months? That boy head grew so fucking fast Disrespectful, um, I know you were acting a little wild with that, but you take it back once you see this Joe exotic you once you see That that's whack And i'ma tell you why that's whack. Why we just had this great fucking Docu-series reality show whatever. Why do we need that in a scripted version? Some we don't We don't have to meet where you make everything like we saw it like what could be better than that Like seriously, we saw the real library. That's like imagine somebody came right now So you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna do a scripted movie about michael jordan's last year in the nba Do you really think it could be remotely as good as the shit we just seen? Yeah, but who's gonna play jordan though? I have no idea It's a great idea. I mean you could go out on us. I mean if you're going, I don't know I really I really don't know I have no idea. All right, let's do some ask the fucking idiots man to get the fuck out of here Did you? Okay, I got him right here. All right. Um, do you have them idiot? Yeah, I got him. Okay Oh, this is a good one Mazara wants to know Does god prioritize the earth first? Are the humans that live on it? wow Does god prioritize the earth first or the humans that live on it? I mean so far he's been prioritizing the humans to live on it, right? Haven't we been fucking the earth up? I don't think he's prioritizing it I think he should go I think god prioritizes life period And it's up to us What we prioritize prioritize right because you can you can live As you can be a human living on this earth And forget to prioritize god, right? And when you forget to prioritize god, you start taking matters in your own hands right you start you start, uh You know being more of the human flesh than of the spirit and when you start being more of the human flesh than your desires change and um The things you have you give value to change right when you start tearing down fucking trees to put starbucks up right right Shit shit like that. So I think that god prioritizes life And when we stop prioritizing god, then he may not necessarily prioritize us Got you that makes sense like god doesn't distinguish between the life on earth and the life as a human being All of it is just life. I think that's how we should approach it. I think if we approach things like Where all god's creatures, I think we would move a little bit different not even just with each other as humans, but just in our interactions with like you know fucking The environment animals the environment like tree everything, you know, I'm saying like um quintin jg 87 asking an idiot he says he says so what's your favorite comedy special? Elephant in the well in history. It's probably delirious by eddie murphy in recent history elephant in the room by patrice o'neill That was my favorite one. I saw it live and I saw it on tv. It holds up. It's got everything I mean, he's going in the crowd. He's doing bits. He's just In my opinion, he's the greatest of all time and uh, you get to see him at his peak And he's just a force to be reckoned with like so effortlessly funny and just brilliant and like You gotta that's patrice right there. Where's the image? Oh, how long how that's why we got a picture of him right here in the studio. Can you see? Who do you see patrice in nowadays? Um Man, it's tough. I mean he's always been someone that I've emulated like this guy who's like speaking honestly and like speaking You know, there's like schools of thought I think that you like come up under a lot of comics in new york come up under like the david tell school thought You know, he's an iconic comic Uh, one of the best I've ever seen and a lot of comics came up under him And I think there was a lot of comics that came up under uh rock and then chappelle And I think I was a rock guy until I found patrice and I realized oh shit. Now that's actually The guy who's most similar to me and like the way I think about the world or I'm most similar to him The way I think about the world the way I think about jokes the conversational nature and so So it's like I've always wanted to be under that school of thought, you know And then continue that school of thought and hopefully there are people who come up under me and they're like Oh, I fucks with that. You know, if you fuck with that you really if you fuck with what I do You fuck with what patrice does. You just don't know patrice. Maybe Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. I just think that he's so fucking talented and brilliant He is a brilliant idiot in so many ways man like He would y'all he always made sense. Oh, yeah, it was always some logic It didn't seem like he was ever wasting jokes for the sake of Telling jokes. You're mine. I mean, I'm not gonna say he reminds me of but I like people like that I like people like him. Yeah, no dl. Hugley. Yeah, chappelle. Chris rock like they just always feel like they're trying to make you Think yeah, I think you guys would get along. Did you ever meet him? I don't think I ever met patrice, but I do remember um When I was first starting with wendy back in like 06 0607 and when I think about it like a lot of us were doing like these talking head stuff So we was doing these talking head segments But uh vh1 vh1 needs to do like those. I love the 80s. I love the 90s shows or some shit like that And I remember tiffany had his that's when I first ran into tiffany You know, she was at one of those. Um, she was shooting one of them the same day I was but I remember patrice telling one of the producers at vh1 like I don't get this charlemagne the god shit What the fuck is this? What the fuck is this charlemagne the god shit? I heard that I was like, what do you mean? He doesn't get it. He was like he just he's I don't know I don't know. Yo, I think that you guys would have got along. I think you guys would have had a lot of mutual respect um because What patrice is to me the best way I could describe it probably right now is like he is six foot Something 300 pound black larry david Oh, that would have been great. You know what I'm saying and that like he's unapologetically black He is in whatever his environment. He is in he is being himself. It doesn't matter. It makes you uncomfortable It doesn't matter. It makes someone else uncomfortable He has to speak how he feels and if he catches you being fraudulent He catches he catches you being fake He is not afraid to call you out on that shit even if it makes the dinner fucking ruins just like larry cannot He cannot not be himself I just love people that are so fucking honest with themselves, man Yeah, I get I remember I remember here in chris rock state one time that Somebody asked him if if what what will we be doing if patrice is alive and chris was like if patrice is alive We'd all be working for him That was a while ago. He said that too. That was years ago. He said we'd all be working for I honestly I wish that that'd be true But I don't think that he would ever be a guy who could be that big Because he got in his own way about that and I think sometimes you got to play the game In order to get to that level and he was a guy who just wasn't going to play the game at all I think he was maybe burned by the game or something but like I think what was so great about what we love so much about it was he was so raw and so honest and A guy who's that raw and that honest and operating in in in an industry that's really fucking fraudulent Usually those things don't mix Absolutely, you know, but yeah, man. Go check out patrice, man Um to gel naik wants to know if I had a roast. Who would he want? Who would I want to be roasting him? Oh We got to do the charlemagne roast. I mean I got I'll be all my friends of comics That's what I'm saying. It'd be good. It would be fire. You know what I mean? Like I would have andrew, of course um Duvall D. L. Hugley um Amanda Seals uh Pete I'd have Pete Davidson I think jesse may would be good at that too. Yeah, jesse may I don't I got so many comedian friends I I would definitely run through my roller decks to everybody only name. I would skip as donnell rollins What I know though I know donnell's the only person I wouldn't fucking call on purpose. What? I know it would hurt his fucking feelings. I know it would I know it would hurt him off and I would let him know That hey, I would I would put it out. I'm having a roast Charlemagne the guy's gonna be a roasted charlemagne the guy. I would put in big bowl letters I'm gonna have some of my favorite comedians some of the funniest people on the planet You know, all of my friends are some of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet You know, I I only roll with the best, baby. I only roll with the cream with a crop of comedians I'm only going to have the best on my roast. You know, I got access to a lot of comedians, right? And you know a lot of comedians are my friends. So look at the list. I would literally have 40 different comedians on my shit And none of them would be donnell just to piss him the fuck off Just to have him text my phone and be like see what I'm saying son He just the fuck I should be talking about and I would just put sending back an eggplant emoji in a smiley face I said this everybody was tech. Everybody was tweeting me about donnell on joe rogan. I saw him What happened with that? He's a sit donnell is a sensitive motherfucker. That's it. Explain to me He's just a sensitive ass dude, and I know he's sensitive.
