I saw that you are, they calling you Hezzy of the Hamptons now. Hampton, Hezzy. Let me tell you something, drugs are amazing. Yes, they are. Drugs are so good. Especially plant-based medicine. But also chemicals. Okay, what'd you have? I mean, it was a cornucopia of things. It was an ecstasy pill. And that's exactly what it induced. It was so much fun. It was so enjoyable. And I will say this, whatever joy you feel, and I wonder if you've experienced this with plant-based, but whatever joy you feel from chemically induced drugs, you have to pay for on the back end. You mean like they'd come down? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So as high as you go, let's say you go to, let's say you go to 10 points higher than you would naturally go. Yeah. You owe 10 points. Yeah, I mean, plant-based medicine do that, especially shrooms, shrooms will bring you down. They'll cause you a stomachache, you know what I mean? If you don't hydrate and drink water, that's why the main thing to do when you're on that stuff is hydrate. Yeah, yeah. But it was just- You didn't do that. You probably didn't drink liquor. Bro, no, that's the other thing. This is the first time I've ever done like a Molly or an ecstasy or something like that. And didn't really drink. I probably had three drinks the whole night. And that was my goal, because when we would go to Burning Man every single fucking year, we'd be on Molly and like some Adderall or whatever to stay up. I sound like an absolute junkie right now, but we'd be drinking alcohol, right? Like Al would start drinking alcohol at nine o'clock, 10 o'clock, and then you're drinking until eight in the morning. So you have fucking 20 drinks, you wake up the next day, you feel horrible. I always attributed that to- The alcohol. No, the Molly. Oh, the Molly, no, that's the alcohol. It's the alcohol fucking draining your system and then you have the compound hangover. There is a hangover, obviously, when you do Molly or ecstasy. Water. That's all I drank. You gotta drink mad water when you're on that Molly. I've never done Molly, but everybody that told me about Molly said you gotta drink mad water. You gotta drink mad water. It is so much fun. I don't want kids, obviously, do it. It is great. It is fantastic. We're having a growing conversation. Are we supposed to talk about our lives or not? No, we are. No, no, no. What I would say is that anybody that does it just understand you are taking out a debt that you have to pay. And I think what happens is, for a lot of people is they take out the debt and they're spending all that money, that happiness in that night. And then the next day they feel horrible and then they go, well, I'll just take out another debt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And take out another debt. And take another debt. And eventually, you gotta go bankrupt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to go, okay, the next two days, I'm gonna be lower than I normally am and I have to accept that. Oh, people say that about, I mean, you feel that about, I've never experienced that, but I know people who've had like really, like amazing shroom trips. Yeah. But when you're sober and you gotta get back to that reality, you don't feel that high no more. So that's when a lot of the depression and everything else sets in. And I guess that's where addiction can come into play, right? Cause then like, oh, I gotta start, I gotta do this more and more to stay up here. Up here? And you know, you can be there in a fucking second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the scary thing. So it's not something I do a lot. Usually, you know, this time of year, we would be at Burning Man. We decided not to go to Burning Man this year. Oh, God bless. Bruh. Or maybe not. Maybe they had this best experience this year. I think it would have been the best. Yeah, being stuck out there in the water. I guess they're not knowing when you're gonna be unstuck. That would drive me crazy. But you know what that would make me do? And I thought about this. Sublime. Live in the moment. You have to submit. You gotta submit. By the way, we should be like that all the time. But in that moment, what are you gonna do? You can't do anything. You're gonna think about how, man, I'm gonna miss my flight on whatever day I finally get out of here. Are you just gonna say, you know what? Fuck it, we're here. And maybe it would have been something. Cause for me, the thing that always gets me at Burning Man is like, there's a certain claustrophobia that starts to set in towards the end of the week where you're like, can I leave whenever I want? You know, if I have a flight booked out, that's when I can leave. Or if I don't have a friend that's leaving, that's when I can leave. And it starts to feel a little bit like I'm not in control of my destiny. And this would be that on a hundred. And granted, there are some people who walked out, right? But- They did? Yeah, Chris Rock walked out. Diplo walked out. I didn't know you could walk out. Where the fuck you go? You walk to the town, it's five miles. Yeah. Really? Last year there was a crazy, this isn't the only year where there's been inclement weather. Last year there was a crazy sandstorm where you couldn't see six inches in front of you. Damn. So it's like, we were driving out at one mile per hour in the sandstorm, could not see six inches in front of us. So you're basically bumper to bumper with the car in front of you and they're bumper to bumper with the car in front of you and you're just looking at that faint tail light that they have for hours. So they walked five miles in the rain? I think it wasn't raining when they walked but it was already muddy and wet. And they just didn't have to go stay in a hotel? To get out of the, basically what's called the playa, to get out of that like- Because what you're on is a dried up lake, vagina. It was definitely dried up. But you're on a dried up lake, that's what the playa is. So naturally- Oh, it fills. For millions of years this ship was underwater and now it looks all flat. Yeah, I tried to get the fuck out of there too. Yeah, yeah, you get the fuck out of there. Cause you don't know how deep the fucking lake's gonna go. Yeah, and you don't know how long you're gonna be stuck there. Exactly. Cause they're telling everybody, yo, conserve your food, conserve your water and now you're like, for how long? Yeah. I wonder how long Chris Rock was there for. I wonder if that's his first time. Nah, he's been there before. He's been there before? But- How was the Hamptons though? I saw that you said that you love Airbnb's now. Bro, the reason I love it is because, okay, do you know when you're going to Anguilla? And you travel with everybody. Absolutely. And everybody, I imagine at this point, are you all staying in one sort of- That's right, cause I always run a house. Yeah. I love traveling with my wife when we stay at these hotels and it's awesome because we're together at the hotel. That's right. And I didn't really understand, and I always looked at Airbnb as like a secondary option to a hotel and I'm like, ooh, can I get something nicer for cheaper? I didn't realize fully until this weekend when we had seven of us out there that it's family time. That's right. And you're creating family time away from home. You can't even have family time with your family if you're at the hotel. And all the little moments that's happening in between dinner or whatever activity are popping up. And I'm like, oh, that is the brand. That's right. Like if I'm Airbnb, I'm leaning all the way into that nonstop. That's the whole point of written luxury homes and villas when you away. It's when you wake up in the morning and y'all have breakfast together. Yeah, you have breakfast together, figuring out what y'all want to go do for the day. And then we old, so we don't go out at night. So once we done with the day, it's eight o'clock, nine o'clock. Now we watching comedy specials in movies. And all together, not everybody in their own little room. Absolutely, it's the best. It's the fucking best, man. Did you go away? No, I stayed home for the weekend. Bro, we need to do a little Hamptons week. I'm with it. Because here's the thing I realized, now I'm talking to guys on Flavor. Old money, like rich people, like when I mean rich, I mean like wealthy, old money people. They have been rich for so long that they've created an art out of spending their money. And I think that's why they kind of look down to new money, people sometimes. They see like a guy with an orange car in Miami and they're being snobby about it. But I think there's a little part of it that's like, oh, you're doing the thing that everybody does when they get money. They're just trying to scream as loud as they can. Hey, I have money, which is natural. That's what we all did when we got some money. We're like, I need to scream as loud as I can, I have money, right? It's almost a part, they look at you too like, who told y'all? Who told y'all? Or they're going, nobody told y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, nobody told y'all, you're not supposed to buy an orange car. So these old money motherfuckers, and don't even look, some of them are like weird. They're snobby, sometimes they're rude. Their kids are all a little fucking weird because they never socialized normally. Everybody's all kissing their ass or serving them their whole lives. I get that, that's some of them. But they've curated fantastic places to live. Oh yeah. And they've curated amazing ways to enjoy their time. And in the Hamptons is just an example, like a world-class place to enjoy your time where you can also live a very full life. It's not just, hey, here's a beautiful place on the beach and there's nothing else to do, which is where I went every summer, Fire Island. It's a beautiful place on the beach but there's nothing else to do. Here, you're playing sports, you wanna go to the movies, you wanna go to a fine dining, you wanna go to a chill lobster shack, you wanna take a boat down the bay. The thing is so diverse and that's what these fucking people with tons of money do. They gotta feel that they're not working. You gotta feel your time with something else. You're not going to work 60 hours a week like us. It's absolutely right. So it's one of these things where I go, my knee-jerk reaction with these people is always be like, oh, that shit is corny. Oh, that shit is snobby. That's what you always say when you can't afford to be with it. Yes. Yes. And I gotta stop doing that. Yeah, we always say that when we can't be where these people are. That's why I always say, you really don't know what you'll do until you can actually do it. You know what I mean? The reason I know, I don't give a fuck about 95% of the stuff people care about it because I can do it and don't want to. Yeah, to your point, I've done it and be like, eh, this ain't really my thing. You know what I mean? Like when you can start affording expensive clothing and shit, you realize how much you don't want it. For what? I only desired that because I couldn't have it. And now that I can have it, it's like... And because some people want folks to know that they have wealth. And that's the insecurity. That's all the security. When you don't have a lot, you can't wait to share it. And I think everybody should go through that experience. When you first get some money, you should throw it around a little bit, right? Because you've spent so much time without it. Throw it around a little bit. Have some fun and learn on your own that that might not be the most fruitful way to spend the money. And then when you do experience that thing, whatever it is, if it's vacations, if it's fucking experiences, maybe you're really into cars and you want to like build old cars or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But having that kind of passion tied into it, that was fucking great. I've never been like that, man. I've only ever cared about experiences and I want everybody to have a good time. So that's why I have no problem spending money on experiences. You know what I mean? Even when we talk about these written, these houses and these exotic places, I'll spend money on that because, hey, this person can buy a plane ticket, that person can buy a plane ticket, fly in. Let's kick it, you know what I mean? We kick it for a week or whatever. Like I have no problem doing that. All that other shit, mine, Bentley's and fucking Rolls Royce Spirits. What is it? It's Phantoms and Ghosts and Dollars and whatever the fuckouts. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm not with it. I mean, like that's the thing, you're gonna rent a house and you guys are gonna have a joke that happens since you're gonna laugh at for 10 years. Forever. 10 years. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Forever, that's what you hope for. It should happen this weekend that we will laugh at for 10 years. See what I'm saying? You can't put a price on that. But you can put a price on it, Bentley. Yes, you can. You can put a price on a Phantoms or a Ghost. You know what I mean? And guess what? That shit don't mean nothing. You don't have no real memories that would none of that shit. And people have to learn that on their own. You know what I mean? It's like one of those things we've already talked about on a pod where it's like, you don't take anybody's advice when you're not in that position. That's right. That's right. How many times have people told us certain things that we weren't gonna care about? And we were like, no, that's important to me. And then we got to that place in life and we're like, oh, holy shit, they were right. They were absolutely right. Yeah. Let's talk about poor shit, man. Okay, let's talk about poor shit. What's the poor shit you saw this week? What these poor assholes doing? Bro. Honestly, I saw somebody renting a house. What's wrong with that? It was us! It was us! What is the poor shit? What is the poor shit? I mean, it's a lot of stuff happening. I saw Nikki Haley say that they need to put terms on these motherfucking old ass politicians. Because Ms. McConnell had another stroke. The cartoon turtle. The cartoon turtle! Then he looked like the tortoise in the hair. The tortoise looked like the fucking tortoise. But yeah, they turned him off. Have you heard of that? What is that program they said about a CIA? It's called MKUltra? Yeah, absolutely. You heard about that, right? You heard about that. Okay, so they're saying that this MKUltra, these things, which were true, they were these experts, I think, using acid and other psychedelics and seeing if they could use those psychedelics to essentially control people's behavior. I think they did a lot of those experiments on the guy who did those murders out in California. What was his name? He had like a swastika in his forehead. Who, recently? Manson. Charles Manson. Allegedly, yeah. But I think he was involved. I think his dad was on some CIA shit. Anyway, it doesn't matter. My point is this looks like, I know this is just aging and it's funny to be conspiratorial about it, but this looks like some MKUltra shit. It looks like they're like, okay, let's turn this motherfucker off. We don't need him anymore. Yes. And this is, no, you're absolutely right. And this is why we also gotta turn our wokeness to fuck off, because soon as you say something about a Mitch McConnell, or President Biden, or Diane Feinstein, if people say, stop being ages, it has nothing to do with ages. No, they got a responsibility. Why can we be ages if the bus driver doing that? Word of. Word of. All of a sudden we're ages. Word of. Right? Word of. It really just shows, you know what this shows? It shows that we don't think politicians do anything. That's what it really comes down to. Because if we thought, if he was a pilot, we would be like, nah, get him out of here. That's right. If he had any job that we deemed you need to be absolutely in control of all your faculties to do, we would get him out of there. But the fact that the American public thinks that politicians do absolutely jack shit, we let these corpses continue to do their fucking job. So this isn't ages. This is cognitive decline. Decorate it. It ain't death. It ain't death. There's no cognition. There's no post. Bro. There's no post at all. He looks like me looking at the latest Salma Hayek pic. I feel so sorry for him, man. Mitch McConnell wants to retire. Fuck it. What's wrong with Salma Hayek? Dang, nothing wrong with Salma Hayek. All I could say, I was like, shit. Bro, she got the Orchata factory. Can't you see I'm froze? Like you fucking, like Mitch McConnell, president Biden, Diane Fienton, they probably all really want to quit. But their parties won't let them. Why won't they let them? Because they're like, we have nobody else right now. Y'all are in the positions of power. Stay here until you can anymore. Bro, Mitch, man. Is that really how you want to spend your last days, yo? Oh, just clutching the podium? Come on, man. Like where the fuck am I? Come on, man. And why am I here? Yo, I get it, man. What if he's got a new biography prescription? Oh, you think that they stick him with a vibe? And those freezes happens when he gets a little woody. He's out there talking, you know what I'm saying? All the blood comes from his brain. Ruckus was dick and he has no fucking clue what's going on. There's some little hot thing there that he keeps seeing. He's like, oh, shit is happening right now. Either that or he's actually soiling his pants. He might be shitting his pants. He's got to be fucking shitting his pants. That right there is the like, that's the shit face, bro. That's the like, oh, shit, the oops, I did it again. That's what that is, yo. This shit is fucking crazy, bro. You gotta retire him, bro. He don't deserve this, man. Retire him, man. Let him go do something. Retire Diane Feinstein. Diane Feinstein don't even know if she be fucking voting. People got to vote for her. Where is she? She's in the Senate. California. But what does she look like? Is she in the wheelchair? She is in the wheelchair. Pull up Diane Feinstein. Alex, Jesus Christ, man. Poor Mitch. Now, God damn. Yeah, this ain't good, bro. Dude, come on, bro. Oh, goodness gracious. Come on, man. She's like, she's supposed to be in a museum now. Holy. She should be in a museum, bro. Go, good God. Like, come on, man. That ain't right, yo. No, bro. She's 90. No, no, no, no. Why y'all got this woman spending her last days like this, man? Go to that one in the blue. That's crazy right there. Come on, man. She's in the wheelchair, man. Let it go. Let it go. Let her go live her life, man. She was cute as a little one. What year was that, 1911? Yeah. It was in the color pictures back then. Exactly. Look at that, man. Jesus Christ, man. So what do we do? Do we do an age limit or is there a cognitive test? What Nikki Haley said is absolutely right. Nikki said either term limits or cognitive test after a certain age. What I will say is right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country. I mean, Mitch McConnell has done some great things, and he deserves credit. But you have to know when to leave. That is why I'm strongly in support of term limits in this country. I think that we do need mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75. I wouldn't care if they did them over the age of 50. But these are people making decisions on our national security. They're making decisions on our economy, on the border. We need to know they're at the top of their game. You can't say that right now looking at Congress. I mean, term limits make sense. I think that that's most representative of democracy or cognitive test. The tricky thing about cognitive test, what could go wrong with that? Let's think. Depends. Depends what you ask people to think. But why do you say that, Chris? Break that down, yeah. Well, because cognitive test is still subjective at the end of the day, right? So you could say it's based on scientific feedback, but obviously people can manipulate those results or they can manipulate what the standard that you're being tested for is. That's what I'm saying. And it becomes a tool to take people out. It's very, exactly. So it's very easy to finagle that test and then you have the right is gonna try to make the left look dumb up. Look, he's not cognitively fit to run. We gotta get him out of here. He's not cognitively fit to run. But what do they call it though? I mean, like, what do you do with a cognitive test? Are there no term limits for the House of Representatives? Nothing, the only president is the only term limit. Senate as well? No term limits. No, no term limits. I don't think so. So if there's no cognitive test, right? Like, there's gotta be certain things that we the people can say we don't want them no more. Like when Joe Biden goes to shake hands with a ghost. You know what I mean? When Joe Biden goes to shake somebody's hand and there's clearly nobody there but he's still standing there with his hand out and if somebody has to turn him and direct him to get out, it's like, come on now. Can we start asking some questions then? Mr. McConnell freezes twice, bomb. You know what I mean? In case you see I'm froze. He does that twice, you know, in front of people. Can't we start asking some questions? I gotta see what's on the other side of the camera, bro. You know what I mean? What if mad bitch is sticking their fists in their vaginas and it's just like, he's just up there like, what the fuck is going on here? Ah man, what Ms. Keeps Seeing is that dude from the crossroads video with that goddamn trench coat on and then black shades in that black hat. Bum bum bum bum. Ms. Like, don't look in the eyes. Every time Ms. See him, he's like, is this it? And the guy probably fucking with him. Can't probably show it up the first time and he was like, nah, I don't do it. I'm not gonna do it here. So he popped up again on him, like, nah, I'm not gonna do it here, man. That's what the fuck it is. That's crazy. What else we got, Taylor Gang? We just warming up. We just warming up here on Brilliant Idiots. You know what I'm saying? You had a good weekend? I did have a good weekend, man. I don't do nothing on weekends, which is my favorite thing to do. But you guys didn't want to go away or go back home? I could school started this week. Kids gotta go back to school. They actually went back Tuesday. My oldest went back Tuesday to other, my youngest in school, they go back Wednesday. So it's like, eh, and we're doing a lot of traveling for the holidays. I mean, that's far. Oh, Beyoncé. Yes. Beyoncé. The queen. She became the high, what is it, Taylor? Cause Taylor couldn't wait to say this. Taylor gave me two talking points to come in here with. One will get to it, that's about her, which is so crazy. Cause Taylor's like really the selfish part. Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour has become the highest grossing tour by a woman artist in history. The queen. Okay. There's a caveat though. I know. Oh, wait, what? There's a caveat. Oh, what is it? Taylor hasn't submitted her number yet. How sweet of Taylor to give Beyoncé that little gift. There you go, girl. Go run the world. Go run the world real quick. Beyoncé has the record first. That's good and congratulations to her and she's an absolutely amazing live performer. But um. And singer and musician and talent and she deserves better with her sound system. Oh my God, man, that's gotta be the fucking, that's gotta be the most fucked up shit in the world when you've got to tour that magnitude, making all this money and you come out and your fucking microphone fucks up. Like Kendrick Lamar came out and couldn't, you couldn't even hear him. You couldn't even hear him, man. That's just disrespectful. And you wonder why 50 Cent is throwing microphones at people. Yo, what? Can we, I want to understand that. Also, where was that throw with, when he was at the picture's mount? That probably was the same exact throw. He probably was throwing it at the sound man and ended up hitting the girl. And she probably curved right and then hit the young lady. He goes to throw the mic and everybody on the left of the fucking stage, he was like, oh, oh. Exactly, the sound man just sitting there like, oh please. You know what I'm saying? He's just getting no way near me. You know, that poor girl though, man, but she going to get a big settlement. And she's a radio host? She's a radio host. I can't remember the young lady's name. What's her name? She works at Power 106. I don't know her name, but yeah, if I'm 50, I'm already settling with her. And what do you give her? Probably a hundred. Hundred what? Thousand. What? Bro, she's gonna wait more than a hundred thousand. You see though. But that's what I'm saying. I'm trying to settle for a hundred. Yeah, but she's not gonna take that. I don't want her to get to that point. She going to need a third, she going to need a new head. How much is a new head? You're going to need a whole new head. How much is a new head? I don't even want nobody to get in her ear and get to that point. They let her know how much she probably could get. Oh yeah. You know what I'm saying? Nah. He should have settled while she was still dizzy. He should have jumped right about that stage. Hand her a stack and was like, yo, we good, mom? Yo, sign this. There we go. Nah, cause she's sober now. That's about a hundred though. Yo, first of all. You think that's more than a hundred? Yes. Now he got to give her something. How would you think more than a hundred? Because she could claim it's the long-term cock and her... Yeah. They're going to milk this to the end. Damn. I mean, she probably dove up and head butted it on some soccer shit. Wouldn't you? I'm just saying. You think 50 just randomly throw a mic? Yeah. You jump in it and go. Go hell, yeah. You know what I'm saying? And it busted her head open, which she probably doesn't want. Yo, leave 50 alone, sweetheart. Please, it's wrong what happens. But leave 50 alone, man. We need 50. I mean, 50 going to be fine. She going to get her money though. Yeah. She going to get her money. I mean, probably she should sue the sound system. Because that would never happen if the sound didn't fall apart. That's really the sound system's fault. Yeah, yeah. You mad at the wrong people here. 100%. You mad at the wrong people here. I would take that out on the sound people. You mad at the wrong people here. OK, that's one thing Taylor wanted to us to address. What? Just say it. No, say it. Oh, no. Because Taylor going to tell me. Oh, no. On the way here. Uh-oh. And Taylor's going to act like you didn't want me to talk about it because you wouldn't have said it to me. So she goes to me. Oh, one of my little, one of my little, little cut friends, you know, is having a baby. And I'm like, congratulations to her. You know what I'm saying? Taylor's mad because one of her little cut friends is having a baby. What's a cut friend? It's something you, you know, get with on the side. Little sneaky link. You know what I mean? Why are you mad at her for having a baby? Why are you mad at her for having a baby? Hold on. I'm so confused. I got it, man. Chris, you just, what's the? A girl. A guy that she fucks on the side. No, a girl. A girl. Now let him think I'm a lesbian. I'm not. A girl she fucks on the side is having a baby. I don't know. Taylor went full, Taylor going full stud. You know, Taylor going full stud when she's upset now that this woman went and got some dick and is having a baby. I need to understand. God is coming out. You know what I mean? Hold on. I need to understand. Taylor, can you explain this real quick? Yeah. A guy or a girl? I don't get this. A guy. So a guy? She's lying. She's not a lesbian. She's not. She's lying. So a guy you fuck with on the side. I don't want to pull you out the cloud that day. Yes or no, God. I thought it was the thing. I thought we all knew that you liked girls too. I didn't know. I'm sorry. I don't stop. Can you please tell me? See how she said it's like, I don't stop. You're giggling, covering her face and she's like, I don't stop. You guys are annoying as hell. A sneaky link is having a child. And I'm happy. What's a sneaky link? Can you just tell me? Someone that you naturally just be fucking with, what you fucking with? But somebody that used to beat up your lower Arby's is going to have a baby with another. They used to rub Arby's. They used to rub Arby's together, OK? They used to put their meats together, OK? That's what they used to do. So what? I'm waiting to hear more. But no, I'm waiting to hear more. It was a girl that used to do the car wash thing when the. That's exactly what it was. I don't know why you so ashamed of this. OK, so a guy that you were fucking while he had a baby mama or a girl. Guy or girl? It's a guy. And so while he had another girl, you were fucking him? No. So he just got some random pregnant? I'm just saying it's like one of those things where it's could have been you. It's not like I really want to have a baby with him. But it's like now could have been you. I was telling you, man, I was like, it's like he already wasn't like really he was toxic. Yeah. But he had shit going on for him. So it's like a potential there. But then did you now? I mean, this is I got nothing to do with him. Nothing at all. But did you let him? Did you let him go wrong? No. I mean, a couple of girls go wrong. Isn't it always wrong? I hate you. They don't have clit condoms. Yes, they do. They have one condoms. Really? Not clit condoms. Not clit, but yeah. It's like dental. It's a dental damn. So you got put in your mouth? But that shit don't work, bro. You just stuff it in there like when your sock comes off your heels. You used it before? Say what? You used one before? No. Oh, well. Why did they call it a dental damn? I didn't want to. And then what happens? You used one before? It was retarded. It's like a little bitch you want to use one. You just put it on top of this. Oh, and then lick on top of it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck? That's nasty. This is high school, bro. I was trying to be sane. Wait, wait, wait. You put a needle in it instead of. You call that packing a lunch? Instead of a regular condom, you just went to the women's? Yeah, like if you're going that side. Oh, you put a condom where I go, ah. Let me see. Shut up. What did I say? That's disrespectful. I wish you make a point. See, even if I haven't unprotected, let me in sex all this time. Disrespectful, man. Is it always green? But that's in her mouth, though. I thought it was going on her vagina. So you're wishing you let this guy hit raw? No, I'm not. A little bit. What else you got, Taylor? Was it your white guy? Absolutely. Don't play with me. What? You've never heard of the white guy? I did meet a white guy, though, over the weekend, though. That you liked? Yeah, of course. He was a cool white guy, though. Yeah, exactly. We're all cool. He used Philly slang, like. What do you say, like a little jawn? Yeah, he said jawn, drooling. All that. I was like, oh. He said, drooling? Drawling? Man, it really don't take much for y'all. Y'all be like, yo. All the white dude got to do is dance a little bit. You know what I'm saying? He don't even got to be like a real good dancer. Y'all, too. He hit the snake one time. He's like, oh, you got rhythm, girl. You know what I'm saying? What the fuck? One little TikTok challenge. He ready to marry this man. Bro, you know it's a fun point. Not to move on would be so disappointing. Yeah. That's all it takes is a jawn and a drooling. Yo, we do the same thing for each other, though. What do you mean? Like when a white dude, in order for a white dude to be cool, all we got to do is beat box or some shit, and then when a cool is white dude, you know what I mean? In order for a black dude to be smart, it's like, oh, you're so articulate. Oh my god, you're so. Why do we have low expectations for each other? It's so crazy, man. You know what's so funny? I was having this conversation about white men can't jump the original one earlier this week, right? And I was saying how white men can't jump. This is the conversation we were having. Actually, it was me and Van, and we were saying, could you ever do a movie called Black Men Can't Read? Oh. Right? Our Black Men Don't Read. I thought you were talking about Van starting a movie called Black Men Can't Jump anymore. No. Fat Men Can't Jump. Fat Men Can't Jump. Fat Men Can't Jump. But we were having the conversation. Love you, Van. If the title of the movie was Black Men Don't Read. Black Men Can't Read. Or Can't Read, would you do that? And I'm like, that could absolutely work if you did it at the same premise of White Men Can't Jump. Because the premise of White Men Can't Jump was the fact that that whole movie was about stereotypes and how you shouldn't feed into stereotypes. Like even if you look at the movie, right? Billy Hoyt, right? His whole demeanor. The reason that they were able to scan people for the first part of the movie because nobody thought this dude could play basketball. Because he was a white guy. But even if you look at the way the roles are in the movie, Wesley Snipes' character, he's the hardworking guy who's a family man, who takes care of his kids. But Billy Hoyt's the fucker, you know what I'm saying? Billy Hoyt's not married. He don't really have a steady job, steady income. They hustling people. So it's like the whole movie is about defying stereotypes. So if you did a movie called Black Men Don't Read, or Black Men Can't Read. If it's centered around defying of that stereotype, you could absolutely do that movie. Yeah. Y'all don't think the title would fly in 2023? No, because I don't think there's anybody that believes the Black Men Can't Read. Of course. But at that time, we shouldn't have thought white men couldn't jump either. But we knew white people could play ball. They just couldn't jump. And to be fair, he couldn't jump the whole movie. He only dunked at the end. It took him the whole movie to jump. He was saving the best for last. Fair enough. But he can't jump. Nobody ever threw him an alley because people prejudice is fucked. That's facts, bro. It really was about the alley. You know what's in your head? It really was about the alley. He could have threw him an alley early in the movie. He didn't think he could. He was like, oh, shit. No, that's crazy how they never throw white boys their alley. That's all it is. That's all it is. So then what happens to the last scene of the Black Men Can't Read movie? Well, the whole movie would literally be just the last scene. But give me the last scene. Like, how does he save the day by reading it? He kills a spelling bee. How does he save the day? He kills a spelling bee. No, but that's spelling. We need him to read something like. I don't know how to end what go, but throughout the whole movie. He's day by reading, Charlotte. What do you have to read? He'd be like this super scholar. You know what I mean? Throughout the whole movie. And then at the end, he just does something that nobody can figure out. But throughout the movie, he's getting those things like how you said earlier. People are like, oh, you're so articulate. Oh, you speak so well. This and that. So people are shocked that he could do normal shit. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. The biggest they call it the bigotry of low expectations. The sleuth of Evan K. Williams. I suspect that some of y'all are the same men that were bringing home C's and D's on your report cards, only to then be coddled by parents that said, well, that's OK as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen, I love and believe in the excellence of black men. So no, my dear, C's and D's or any other form of mediocrity is not OK. No, I will not create a soft place for you or anybody that I love to fall comfortably into the bigotry of low expectations. Damn. She dropped that hard, too. Come on, man. The bigotry of low expectations, man. Shit. Y'all don't even know how we got here, yo. I just wanted to talk about it. I just wanted to say the bigotry of low expectations. Bigotry of low expectations is fine, bro. That's fine, though. That's what Taylor had. She had the bigotry of low expectations for that dude. You did. You know what I'm saying? You did. And now that dude, then that dude went and got him a whole family. OK? I'm encouraging him to stay with her. Do not break up black families, yo. Exactly. Do not break up black families. I'm not a homemaker at all. Diddy turned out nine figures, gives bad boy artists publishing rights back. Diddy chose to do the right thing over money. He turned down a fortune to make sure his former artists had control of their own music teams he has learned. Sources with direct knowledge say this media mogul and bad boy, Labo Hancho, was making an unprecedented move in the music industry right now, namely handing over the publishing rights to several of his former bad boy acts. Word of this started to percolate just a few days ago when Cameron took the social media to announce that Mace had finally sealed the deal with Puff and secured his catalog for himself. Several others have recently signed deals with Diddy to do the exact same thing, including some huge names. Sources say Diddy has been approached for bad boys entire portfolio and was offered a king's ranch and for it all. But he turned that down and chose to go down this road instead. What is wrong with me? That the second I see an incredibly successful entrepreneur businessman doing something that is altruistic, kind, and beautiful that I'm immediately skeptical. That's the world we live in. Okay, so it's not just I'm an asshole. No, man. But the second I read this I was like, what's the catch that's going on? That's the world we live in. Everything is about skepticism. What would social media be without skepticism? Nobody could be doing the right thing. So take me through why this may not be as altruistic as it appears. What would be the criticism on this? No, I agree with you totally with the skepticism. No, no. So what do you mean? So like, why would he be, why is this a good deed? No, no, no. Walk me through why it may not be a good deed. Oh, well, I think that Diddy was probably offered a lot of money for the bad boy catalog because they've been offering a lot of people a lot of money for their catalogs. And I think Diddy knows if he was to personally take all of this money, it would be super backlash. You know what I'm saying? Because people think he owes so many people so much money and because the reputation that Diddy has always had of being a person that takes people's publishing and all of that, right? So if he was to get this big payday, immediate backlash on social media. Why? Because motherfuckers is haters. You know what I'm saying? I have a hard time believing though that he isn't in some way still connected to the rights to the music. For example, let's say he gave Mace the rights to his music. He no longer owns the publishing. Is he still connected as a producer? Of course. Okay, so if they're right or everything else, but also through at one more point, Diddy got an album coming up? I gotta clear the runway for my album. I can't have all this negativity and toxicity around me when my album comes out. I take this money for this motherfucking deal. You know what I'm saying? Now everybody's talking about this instead of my motherfucking music. You know what I mean? Well, he could just not sell it at all. He could just hold on. Why didn't he just keep it? Keep what? Keep all the albums. Keep the rights. Because he's still got an album coming out. You know what I'm saying? So yeah, so even if he didn't sell it, I just think it's a good way to degenerate positive will. Positive talk around his project dropping. Give him his album. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Diddy, love. You know, I'm all about love and he's doing like it's good. It's good. So let's say, for example, he gives back the publishing or he gives back the rights to the artist. He's still an executive producer on the projects. Maybe, I don't know if he is or isn't. Is it possible that when may sells his publishing if he does that Diddy still gets money from it? So he's not completely removed from the profitability of the music. It's just not in his hands to sell it to somebody else. I'm not sure how that works. Cause I don't know. I don't know. I really don't understand how publishing works because Mace wrote a lot of records for Diddy as well. You know what I'm saying? So there's records Mace probably wrote on that he didn't get published before but maybe Diddy gave him a flat fee. I'm sure a lot of the songs that Diddy and Mace have together, of course Diddy's gonna always probably profit off a lot of those records cause it was his label. He's the executive producer. Shit happens. You know what I mean? Like he's gonna always find a way to, I'm sure make money off a lot of these records. Amazing commodity music is. Is there any commodity more valuable? You create a song. Sex. Well, here's the thing. Sex has diminishing returns. Talk to me. Music, you create a song. People like the song. They play it even more. Then they maybe don't play it for a little bit. And then years later they come back to it and they play it and they're like, Oh my God. I love this song. I didn't realize how much I love it. Some years go by, maybe they don't play it. 20 years go by. All of a sudden the song can have a resurgence and now they're playing it all the fucking time. This one thing that you created is gonna pay you for your whole fucking lifetime. That's the song. And that's one song. That vagina got diminishing returns. Different vaginas play the same tune. But it's different vaginas. But you never know. Give me one vagina that's still hit 40 years later. Ain't one vagina still hit 40 years later. But that's why you just give new ones. That's why music is so brilliant. That one single thriller is gonna slap for a century. Ain't no 100 year old pussy on this planet still slapping. Okay, well explain Taylor Swiftin. Greatest of all time. Taylor Swift took, I don't know what I'm saying is Taylor Swift took that first vagina from the first album. Yes. Redid it. Refurbished it. You know what I'm saying? But she had to refurbish. And put it back out there. She had to refurbish. It had to be different. Each song is different. So that's why you have vaginal rejuvenation. You need to do a surgery to a song. Sorry, to a vagina to make it good 40 years later. You don't need to do a surgery to thrill it. The thrill is still gonna hit. You gotta fucking, you gotta master it a different way though. You gotta make it the way it hits in these new sound systems and shit. What do they call it? What do they call it when they? The remastering. Remastering, yeah. Not even, bro. What about the Kim K6 tape? I feel like that gets a resurgence every once in a while. Yo, but it ain't hitting, hitting, bro. It's not at the point where it's like, oh, this is gonna shut down the party. Yeah, those old songs don't hit, bro. Are you kidding me? You know what, that's a good example. She's been married four times. That's what I'm saying. She's been married four times. But she's still gotta work every time. Same vagina, different tune for different people. But she's still gotta work. She gotta stay in shape. She gotta get plastic surgery tuned up. She is constantly, constantly working. This song you made once, and then you're feeding forever on it. If you buy some gasoline, you use it in your car. It's done never to be used again. Yeah. It is recyclable. I'm just saying music, bro. Oh my God. They really might not be nothing like music, bro. I can't think of it. I mean, I guess movies. But movies at the minute to return. You can't watch the same movie every single day over and over and over again. Yes, I can. In the way that you can't music. Yes, I can. I'll watch Rocky. I'll watch Rocky IV. I'll watch Rocky II. I'll watch the in-game scene when the goddamn portal's open. That's a great scene. We cast them. You know what I'm saying? You know something I'm like, the hoes are like, I'm not gonna lie. Those are adrenaline rushes, man. What I'm on right now is watching scenes from movies on YouTube. Oh yeah. I love that. Like an iconic scene from Maverick, an iconic scene from Rocky, an iconic scene from Friday Night Lights or some, not Friday Night Lights. What's the movie called? Strong Side. Friday Night Lights. Broke Like Mountain? No, no, no, no, no. It's not Friday Night Lights. It's Remember the Titans. Like these iconic scenes on YouTube and it just taps you into that emotion, that feeling that you had. That's all you want. And you just need two and a half minutes. I don't need the two hours. That's it. In game, I know exactly where I like to start at in this. Where do you go? When fucking Hulk puts on the glove and snaps his finger. When Hulk puts on the glove and snaps his finger and everybody comes back but Thanos is already in. And so Thanos starts bombing on motherfucking the facility they're at. And then they go to war from that moment until the port is open and then Tony starts, Tony Snark snaps. There's two snaps, baby. When Hulk snaps, there's two snaps. Snap to snap. That's all I need from in game, yo. Snap to snap is all I need and I'm good. Yeah, that's fantastic. That's all I need, man. Damn. Speaking of Kim, Kanye's banned. I don't believe that. He's banned. You really believe he's banned? Yeah, he's the owner of the boat company. They said, don't bring your fat ass on my boat no more. Come on, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's not like they haven't been naked people on the boats before. I don't buy that. The owner of the boat company banned the couple from ever riding on the boats again after pictures went viral of the couple seemingly participating in sexual acts while riding through Venice Italy. Here's my thing. I still don't understand why he did that. I don't think that he was doing anything sexual. I think that he just had his pants sagged, wasn't wearing underwear, so his butt was showing. He thought that his jacket would be covered. Or he's really married. What do you mean? Because when you're really married, man, you gotta get it when you can get it. So that's sad. That's sad. You know what I'm saying? But so with these boats that you take in Venice, like you can get picked up at the airport and you essentially take this boat to your hotel where he's sitting on the boat, the whole boat where the seats are, where he's sitting basically on this part, look at this, this part of the seat. So she's not on her knees. She's sitting on the actual seat. This is a very normal way to ride this boat. I mean, come on, come on. Look it, look it, he even got the head position. If right now you got down on your knees and I put my hand behind your head like that and somebody took a picture of it. They gonna say Schultz was giving shoulder-made head. I don't look like a girl about to give head. But the seat would be facing the other way. She looked worried. She's like, here? She's reversed on the seat. And we just got off the plane? You got plane dick. You know what I'm realizing? You smell like we've been flying for, are you sure? You know how Captain America needs his shield? Yeah. That's what a girl with fat tits is for Kanye. Kanye really can't get the buzz going unless he got a ambiguously looking white girl with fat tits. It is a specific thing. And racially ambiguously looking white girl with fat tits, he can get cooking, bro. Well, this is played out. He should make news. We've seen this a million times. If Kanye wanted to really make news now, he gotta pop out with a black one. You know what I'm saying? When? Whenever. Like pop out with a seat. And I'm talking about a- Show me when it really made news. I think he needs- Amber Rose was his best moment. Racially ambiguous looking white girl with fat tits. We know that she's cavearian. She know that she is technically black. But if you see her in person, you think she's white. Amber Rose? You think so? Yes. Nah, yes. Does she have a wig on? Nah. She got blonde hair. She don't. Amber Rose don't look white. Well, she has a wig on. She don't look black. I can see how your bike- Yes, she does. But she doesn't. What I'm saying is racially ambiguous, but whitish. Like there is, like for example, this girl, Beyonce says, whatever her name is. She is racially ambiguous kinda, but she's white. Kim Kardashian, racially ambiguous kinda. I guess she's Middle Eastern, but she's kinda white. All the more reason that if he goes and gives him a fly, beautiful sister, shut down the internet. But he's married. I think he's done it, and it doesn't happen. I can't think, I've never seen him with one. Exactly. I thought Amber was the one, but exactly. His girlfriend, when he was coming up, she was black. Alexis. And nobody even knew who she was. But nobody knew who Kanye was then either, though. For whatever reason, the public seems to enjoy when he is dating a specific archetype of girl. They didn't care when she was dating Irina Shake because the titties ain't big enough. He needs Fat Chest. Who is Irina Shake? Fat Chest. Julia, whatever her name is, Fox. Oh yeah. Right? They cared about it. It needs to be Fat Tits. Now he did date this absolutely beautiful black woman. Nobody cared. No one knew who we were. No, remember he was dating that beautiful black girl for a little bit. Who? Exactly, who? Who? I really don't remember. The wing, the wing. After Kim, man. Oh, is that? After Kim, right? He was dating a bunch of different women. If Kanye popped out with a sister right now, man, it would do wonders for him, man. If Kanye popped out with a black woman right now, everybody would be like, oh, shoot, is Jay back? He knows what works, bro. But he's married, isn't he? Remember he dated the girl that kind of looked like Kim? Yeah. And people didn't care that much. Because she looked like Kim. And he was still lusting over Kim on Twitter. You remember he wanted to fight Pete and all this other stuff and was making crazy music videos? Like, God bless Kanye, man. I'm not looking forward to hearing any music from Kanye. Are y'all? Yeah, I am. Really? Yeah. I don't believe you. He's a king to a god. I don't believe you. He still has that gift of making music. Oh no, listen, he's one of the greatest musician producers ever. I'm always gonna listen. I would rather hear Kanye do what Hit Boy and Nas are doing. I want Kanye to get with his favorite rapper are a dope young up and coming rapper and do what Nas and Hit Boy are doing with each other. Because he, Nas went and got with one of the young producers. Hit Boy clearly has been a Nas fan all his life. And he just has been feeding Nas the type of production that got Nas in his bag over and over. I want to see an older producer do that with a young artist. I actually wanted to see Havoc do something like that with J. Cole. But think about how dope it would be if Kanye and J. Cole did a project together or, you know, I don't know, Kanye, who's another Kanye and IDK? I'm just throwing names out there, but just Kanye and like some dope ass young rapper that we all respect, but we know just needs like that extra push production wise. Because that's all Nas ever needed. Yeah. After push production wise, I think it would be dope to see Kanye do that with like somebody new and up and coming. I would love another Watch The Throne. Jay-Z not touching that. That would be. I don't want that. I don't want another, I don't want another Watch The Throne. I want to see Kanye collaborate with somebody where it's just him and an artist, but it ain't Jay-Z. I would actually like it to be somebody younger. For some reason, I feel like Kanye and J. Cole collaborating the way Nas and Hit Boy would be special. Now, can Kanye do it for someone else? Yeah. Is he willing to submit himself to somebody else? Yeah, he's always done it for other people. Well, until he was able to do it for himself and then he was like, I don't need to do this. But even then he was, you tell me, think about how you bought Push Your Team. Push Your Team wasn't a solo artist that we got with Kanye. Be it the Big Sean, the Kid Cuddy's Common. You know what I mean? He re-energized a lot of people. Like, yeah, yeah, Kanye could do it. You want to pay some bills? Let's pay some bills. Let's pay some bills, man. Let's pay some bills. Then we can come back and talk about monkeys. Policy genius. Policy genius.

You know, you know. You're hugging from behind. Huh? You're hugging from behind. I saw that already though. LeBron James agent Rich Paul takes a jab at Steph Curry. Whoa! Rich Paul was on Guild with Arenas' podcast, salute the Guild with Arenas. And he said, scroll up Taylor, we can put the audio in too. But scroll up Taylor, back to the headline. He said, would Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry get discredited like Laker star LeBron James? In particular, he was talking about the bubble championship shorts. All right. If Steph wins in the bubble, did they discredit it? Yeah, you got to. No, no they didn't. We still saying the same thing. No they didn't. Rich Paul said. Listen, if you want people always making the argument for why you're the best, just be number two. It's very simple. When you are number one, there's only one way to go. Yep. So, the cost of being LeBron James is everybody trying to not justify why you're the best. Everybody trying to discredit your greatness. That is the only thing that happens when you are unanimous number one of your generation. Yeah. Okay, people would do this with Michael Jordan all the time. Oh, Larry Burr was really better. Magic Johnson was really better. Oh, Hakeem was really better. No, nobody was really better. Steph is not greater than LeBron. Yes he is. To you he is. To many, to some people he is not. And to those people, the argument is always fun and tantalizing to digest on is what if he was? What if he is better? You know how I know Steph's better? Talk to me. Cause LeBron James agent just bought Steph Curry up. Why Steph Curry? Why if Steph Curry wins in the bubble he doesn't get discredited? I think LeBron is very frustrated because I think LeBron wants unanimous love and affection. Right? That's not the way this works. Exactly, but he wants to be a king and what is a king supposed to be? Unanimously love and treated as royalty, obviously. And the reality is that's how it happened with kings. You know what? People really felt towards kings? They want to behead them. They want to take the crown. Exactly. And the reality is, LeBron's not going through anything that nobody else hasn't gone through. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the bar. But people would always find a way. There's always something. Oh, well, if he had came back those, if he hadn't retired, he wouldn't have won eight in a row. You know what I mean? The Rockets would have beat them if he'd have stayed around. If it was a split, we all be high right now. You know what I'm saying? Like who gives a fuck about that silliness? The reality of the situation is, this is what happens and guess what? If Steph Curry would have won in the bubble, they'd have been discredited in his championship too. You know why? Because that's what we do. Steph got two rings now that people try to discredit. Yep, Kevin Durant was on the team. And Kevin Durant got two rings now that people try to discredit. Yep, he joined the super team. It don't matter that Steph won before and after. It's what we do to greatness. It's what we do. As human beings, it's what we do to greatness. We have to find a way to discredit so we justify why we aren't over there. Oh, I'm not over there because I didn't join a super team. If me and Richel's joined the goals I'm not winning a fucking ring. Yes you would. In that era, would that team? If Kevin Durant and me went there, yeah. Yeah, all you got to do is sit on the bench. Yeah, exactly, exactly. I guess what I'm saying is I'm not gonna be that different difference maker. But this is what we do to greatness is what we do to successful people is part of our humanity to do it. This is just what we fucking do. We've built literal forms of government around this concept. Human beings have a tendency to tear down those that are in charge, those that are at the top. So we've created democracy so that literally after one term or two terms we can tear those people down. We used to have kings and we're like, fuck that guy. We need a system where we can build someone up, literally vote them into power and then almost immediately afterwards tear all that power away from them because that is what human beings do. So yeah, this is a normal thing and it's something LeBron has to put up with. And you know what? It's the price of greatness. There you go. There's nobody on this planet who is not going to go through this. I don't care what field you're in, what industry you're in. They love you and then when you up and you win too much, they don't want you to win anymore. Like literally, you don't even have to change anything. Like they just be like, hey, you know they wake up on day like, you know what, I'm not rooting for him no more. You know what I'm saying? You did change. You became great. You became great. And that's all it takes. It comes with the territory. And it's your job as someone who is great to make all those people hating on you or criticizing you look like haters. Yes, right. It's your job. That's your job. That comes with the territory. You can't be upset about it. You can't cry about it. You gotta go, it is my job to make all these people criticizing me look like haters instead of logical people making very objective criticisms. And there's only one way to do that. By being great. That's it? Being great constantly. That's it? And you don't get to rest on your loyals with greatness. That's it? You gotta keep producing greatness constantly. That is what happens. Because the moment you slip for real. They coming for your death. That's right. And people are like, oh shit. Oh yeah, he really did have a mishap. Oh shit, this really did fall off a little bit. Like soon as that happens, they're like, we see, we told y'all. Try to be the king and telling all the people who were starving because there was a drought and you didn't have a good harvest. Oh yo, but wasn't I a good king five years ago? Fuck you. Fuck five years ago. That's right. That's the game. Rich Paul was, he was cooking on Gilbert Arena, so he said this too. We can add, I wanna add this too. Listen to this shows. Mike Trance in the game. When Kobe came, Kobe was a silhouette of Mike, right? That's everything, which is great. But LeBron is the first player to have to deal with a 24 seven, 365 news cycle of sports and opinions from those that's not even capable or carry the expertise to give a valid opinion, right? In addition to, no, I'm not gonna really do it how y'all want me to do it. I'm probably gonna do it how I decide to do it. We all know that don't go over well, right? And so then you have this, you have this environment and this sports society that's created, right? And then, and so now you have the root against. That's a whole another thing that Mike never had to deal with because his hardest critic was probably Peter Bessie. Yeah. Right up. You see what I'm saying? Fuck you, Peter Bessie. But I just think LeBron's antlers is in platinum and Michaels may be in gold. Why? Because when you think about, he had to be compared to Mike. Who you might have to be compared to? Talk about it. Francis DeGene. I don't, you know, I want- He's gotta say it. That's his boy. That's his client. Like he's doing exactly what he should do. I want friends like that, but I don't want friends like that. You know what I'm saying? Now you do. You want people to believe in you, Charlotte. I do, but not to that extent. Because that's just nothing he said just now is true. Yeah, but- Other than, yes, the news is different now. Everybody's a critic. But what the fuck do I got to do with you on the basketball court? So the thing about this thing is, and I'm sure what Rich understands is that like, media is gonna dictate history. Right? History is a great Napoleon Bonaparte quote. History is a set of lies agreed upon. And that goes the same for sports. Not as long as we still alive. But we will die. Hopefully not anytime soon, but we will die. Yes. And eventually the only people that will be alive are the ones that remember the greatness of, maybe it's LeBron, maybe it's a different player. The reality is, is like, we're not talking about Bill Russell right now. But Bill Russell was by far the most dominant basketball player in history. And now there are ways where you could criticize him. Oh, there was only 12 teams in the league. He was the winningest player in history. I'm not gonna say most dominant. I mean, if you're winning, that's pretty dominant. Because I didn't see Bill Russell, so I don't know what kind of player he was. Exactly, and these kids didn't see Jordan, and there will be kids that didn't even see LeBron. So there are people that only saw you, right? Listen, we can have this discussion with you. I say this all the time, that you're the greatest radio personality of your generation, right? Now, I only know if we're gonna go, I only know two generations of radio, right? I know you, and I know Howard, okay? That's a few before me, but yeah. That I know. Yeah, that's you, that's you, that's you. Your generation, right? And there are plenty that you're competing against, but I think that you've, I think the only person that we can discuss you with is Howard. If we're talking about generation. Wendy? Yeah, Wendy does, absolutely. She had to run in. Absolutely. No, and again, but like, I think that you're better than Wendy, I do. I don't think I'm better than Wendy, but you see what I can do there? I can say that. That's great, but it's not up for you to decide, to be honest. That's true. Because you're not indulging in you. That's true. We are. Pause. Fast forward. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that, the public is gonna decide they're gonna be people that only saw you. And they're gonna see other things from Howard. Maybe they see some of his more recent stuff. These like in-depth interviews. He's a fantastic interviewer, but they never saw any of those crazy antics from before. And they go, no, he's not fucking with Charlotte, bro. Charlotte got the serious interviews and he got the goofy stuff. He can be funny on the fly. He got the dog in the day, so he's writing a script. Like, he's not fucking with him. And that's, they're probably young kids that might even feel that way about LeBron. And they're objectively saying, I've seen Jordan, I've seen him making these mid-range jump shots. He's fall away, but he didn't have no three-point game. He didn't have this, he didn't have that. So, history, eventually there's gonna be a time where people just go, yeah, Charlotte was the greatest. But what radio? They'll just say it. But what about when we as adults tell these little kids, shut the fuck up? Since when do kids listen to adults? You don't know what the fuck you talking about. Why these kids listen to adults? We didn't listen to adults? I guess my biggest problem with Rich Paul's statement is he said LeBron got platinum antlers and Jordan has gold. It's crazy. It's crazy. At least both platinum. So, because that's what I would say. If I'm comparing you and Howard, right? I'm not gonna say that. I'm gonna say platinum. I'm gonna say Howard has platinum because he was the top for me. He's the guy. Until you. Do you see what I'm saying? I appreciate that, thank you. You can't bring someone down when someone else comes around. That's the level that was set. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's the bar. You don't tarnish the material. There's no downgrading Michael Jordan. You can't. You can say, oh, they've reached both platinum and then you can be like, yo, he's platinum but his antlers are bigger? That's right. That's fine. And Rich Paul would never let somebody do that to Jay-Z. Ooh, that's an interesting. No, because he loves Hove, right? His name in his new book is called Lucky Me. You know what I mean? Named after one of my favorite Jay-Z records and he said his favorite Jay-Z record as well. You wouldn't let nobody do that to Hove. You wouldn't let nobody say Drake is platinum. Hove is gold. You know, Kendrick is platinum. Hove is gold. No, this is top tier. Yes. Epa Eshalon. And then we can have that discussion. Yeah. And to be honest, that discussion is gonna change based on what you want. There's gonna be people that listen to you and they listen to Howard and they're gonna be like, I'm gonna be honest, Howard is not for me. I just don't like it as much. And then there's gonna be people that listen to you and there's Howard and they're gonna be like, honestly, Charlotte is not for me but you're gonna have that debate. And that's where LeBron should be. Absolutely. That's the compliment. Absolutely. When you're being debated with the greatest. That's all you want. That's all you want. That's all you want. Because you're never gonna be greater than the person that people saw come up. That's right. When we witnessed Jordan coming up, there's no way that LeBron is gonna be able to supersede those emotions that we had. I'm not gonna lie. When I saw him win that championship with Cleveland, I was like, holy shit, he's the greatest. That happened, I'm a prisoner of the moment guy though. But that happened to me in that moment. And then I sat back and I was like, okay, okay, let me just fucking chill out for a fucking second. I'm a prisoner of the moment, Sholty. Y'all already noticed about me. I go to the Hamptons, it's the greatest place on the planet. I go to Burning Man, it's the greatest place on the planet. I was thinking about that. You really were old then. You was in the fucking club with the fucking crown on. And the fucking tape on back there. I was loving it, bro. And this was the next year. I really thought that day was about to do it again. Again. Again. But that's me, I know that about me. The last thing I tried was the greatest thing I ever had. Do you remember? So I needed a moment just to chill and take it in. But that's the greatest accomplishment you can have across generations. If you're part of the same generation, there's gonna be one that's platinum. But across generations, the best you can do is be in the conversation. But I think that's what's causing Rich Paul to bring up Steph Curry's name right now. Because the reality of the situation is. He feels like there's discussion within the same generation. Why wouldn't it be if a man beat you three? If you played this guy four times in NBA finals and Steph and his guys beat you three times the one. And plus this little light-skinned kid from Akron as well came up in Charlotte, North Carolina, revolutionized the game of basketball. Got everybody playing like him from men to women. No, this is, what I would say is Steph is way more influential in the way the game is played. Because you cannot be 69, 270 like LeBron is. Word up. In order to play his game. Nobody's really, he doesn't have a distinguishable characteristic in his game. He's got a LeBron that you could copy. He's got amazing court vision. But besides that, there's not like a move that he's doing that you can copy. He's just so unbelievably well-rounded, healthy, in incredible shape, incredible court vision, unselfish. But Steph has distinguishable characteristics. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And LeBron's been around for a long time. So he's been around for a couple of different generations. Tim Duncan got a couple of rings on Bronze Watch. Durkin Whiskey got a ring on Bronze Watch. Steph got three on Bronze Watch. I'm just saying, can't nobody say they ate like ate off Michael Jordan like that? I mean, that's all I'm saying. There are people that got rings while Jordan was around. There are people who got, I mean Detroit. I mean, yeah, but that's part of it. I mean, that's funny. I was having this conversation yesterday. That's all part of Jordan's legacy. Overcoming adversity. Detroit was busting his ass. One championships back to back, busting his ass. He had to overcome that adversity. But when he got in position, never lost it. And you're saying LeBron has. Quite a few times. Like quite a few times. Is LeBron one of the greatest to ever do it? Absolutely. Top five? Absolutely. You know what I mean? Top three? Absolutely. Well, I got him at four. But top three? Absolutely. In most people's eyes. Top two. He's actually top two in most people's eyes. They debate whether he's one or he's two. Which I think is totally disrespectful to Kobe, Jelly, Bre, and Bryant, but whatever. All I'm simply saying is to say that Jordan has platinum. I mean, Jordan has gold. And Bron has platinum. Come on, Rich Paul. Come on. Yeah, but again, I'm not looking for an objective opinion from the guy's best friend and agent. I don't think you're ever gonna get that. And I like the fact that he's riding for his dude. I do like that. Yeah, yeah. And it's also, he's not riding for, he's not saying Ray Allen is the greatest. No disrespect to Ray Allen, but nobody's saying that. He's saying that his guy who is in the top two conversation is better. I'm okay with that. I don't think you're a delusional, I don't think you're like a delusional dick rider if you're saying that. I ain't gonna say you call you a dick rider, but you kinda like delusional. To reduce Michael Jordan to gold. And I think gold, I think music. Gold is crazy. Exactly. And it's half a million records. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And God dang him. No, no, no, the gold comment was crazy, but just thinking that LeBron is better than Jordan and that's your man, and you've ridden with him forever and you've seen the greatness. And to be honest, how old is Rich Paul? He's probably our age, right? He knows. He younger. He knows. Talk that shit, Chris. Talk that shit. Here's the difference, though, because I was thinking about this this weekend. I was watching Bronn's first final runs with Cleveland, right? He had terrible teams around him, right? I mean, if you look in retrospect, he had nobody there, you know, Ilgakis, Mo Williams. I mean, these guys were barely NBA players, but my question with LeBron, and this is what Rich Paul plays into it is, I think LeBron is the first superstar who was also his own GM, right? Jordan obviously had power. He had sway. Jerry Kraus was the GM, right? That's a really interesting argument. So I think the reason Bronn's not the goat is also his own fault, because I think he's picked too many of the players around him. Steph has influence. He's not the GM with the Warriors. So when did Bronn start doing that? It's a question I would ask. I think he's had that. Almost immediately. Almost immediately. No, I mean, that was part of the reason. You don't pick those teams he had around him, right? Like, come on, stop. Maybe that's why he wasn't doing it like. Nobody wanted to come to Cleveland, though. That's the other thing. But also the reason why he basically left Miami is because, what's his name? I can't believe I'm forgetting this one. Riley. Yo, is that Riley said I'm the GM? LeBron has his own agency. This isn't allowed to happen. Yeah, it's unprecedented. This is unprecedented. You're not supposed to happen. It's the biggest nod-nod wink-wink in the history of sports. You're not allowed to have the top player in the league also run his own agency and make moves behind the scenes. And be the GM. You're basically signing the deals for your own clients. He doesn't run the agency though. He doesn't run the agency. There's Paul. Come on. No, no, but he doesn't run the agency. All right, I mean, come on, we all know what it is. So if he isn't on that level, he owns more of that than these other players is what I'm saying. What I would say is if your argument is that he is the first player GM, okay? Right. Now, if your argument is that he's the first player GM and that was to his detriment because he didn't make great GM moves. Exactly. That's fair. What I would also say is that being the first player GM and I wonder if Kobe was a player GM. Actually, I think he was because I think Kobe was like Shaq gotta go. Weren't they auto? Like when you get to that level, Magic Johnson. Magic got coaches fired. I'm saying over personnel. I don't think any players. Yeah, like actually hiring players. I think Kobe was that. I'll be honest. I think Kobe was super involved in those decisions but let's call LeBron the first player GM. You could also make an argument for that being part of his greatness because he was literally building the teams that ended up winning. Now, maybe he would have won even more with someone who was more specialized but he was responsible for those teams in a way that other players were not responsible. Right, but what I'm saying, when he was in Miami and there was someone with real power like Pat Riley who was vetoing in all likelihood. They were doing amazing. He's doing amazing. He would have won for years if he had stayed there. I think the only thing, yeah, they tripped him up. But Riley don't play that shit. Riley's like, you're not the king over here, I'm the king. There's one king of Miami and it's Pat Riley. No, you're right. Cause Miami's been to the championship like what? Two times since LeBron left. Like they've always been, they went last year. They went in the bubble. With teams that you would not think were championship quality. But that's also he culture and Eric Spolstra is the greatest coach in the NBA that nobody gives credit to. Nobody talks about. But he's undeniably the greatest and Pat Riley still is an unbelievable culture in that team and everybody just gets on board and Jimmy Butler is just absolutely fantastic. He's a fantastic player that will reinforce the culture. Why don't more people want to go play in Miami? I think it's starting to happen a little bit. Miami's a beautiful city with a great history. Like why wouldn't you want to go play in Miami? I think it's starting to happen. I mean, if you really want to go. If I was KD, I don't want to go to Miami. Say what? I don't want to go to Miami before Brooklyn. If I was KD. Here's the thing. This is how amazing Miami's culture is in the stronghold that Spolstra, Pat Riley and Jimmy Butler have over Miami. These are NBA players, right? Young guys full of testosterone that can fuck 90% of the women on the planet. And they are in Miami. Not getting a dick weight every night. Not fucking around. Not getting caught up having fucking babies everywhere. Not getting in trouble, not getting car crashes. It's right there. We were in Miami for four months. It was tantalizing. Yeah. It's like three little Alexes in Miami right now from what I heard. Probably! Probably! Don't do that, Charlotte. You asshole. The point is, that's what happens when you have a real strong fucking culture. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. That's probably why they don't want to go to it. Like the big players. Nah, talk on that. Why? Because they want to have that power and have that control over the team. And they know. And have that fun. And it's like, yo, we ain't having all that fun. Let me tell y'all young boys something, y'all young players. You know what y'all should learn how to do? Win. And you know how you learn how to win by getting with winners. And Pat Riley's a fucking winner. You want to be with Pat Riley. You want to be with Popovich. You want to be with people that know how to motherfucking put together teams and win. Because clearly y'all don't. Bro, I saw a player who, you know, I will not name this weekend. In Hampton? At the club. And it was one of those things like... Has he got a ring? Nah, of course not. And you look at him and say he's never gonna get one. And you saw his habits in the club and realized why he's never gonna get one. I didn't see his habits in the club. I wasn't looking. I just, I was walking in. I saw him walking in and I was just like, if I was where you are in your career, you wouldn't see me in the club. Now that's not to say that you don't deserve to party. It's fucking the Labor Day weekend. Doesn't mean you don't deserve to hang out with your friends, et cetera. But if I was where you are in your career, you would never see me in the club until I dispelled some of the myths about me. I know exactly who you're talking about. That's crazy. Can you say that? Can you say it and we bleep it? Yeah. Nope. Oh, that's what I thought. Nope. And when I say who it is, y'all know exactly who it is. I would have thought already. Bleep all these names. Oh, get the fuck out of here. No, he's right where he need to be. He need a little bereave. No. Please let him party all he wants. What else he got to celebrate? Please. Anyway, my point, and again, I'm not judging because I understand we need that. But no, you're right. But you got to know what the public is going to think about you and they're going to go. They should make him pay to get in the club. Come get serious. They should make him pay to get in the club. Him and everybody he's with. That's funny. Yo, I'm such as such. We don't care. And also, you cannot party at home. Because we all buy in tickets. Now, grant, he doesn't play for like, we're all buying tickets. So if you're the club and you're actively getting this guy drunk before he got a game, oh, my God, what the fuck are you talking about? Bleep that too. Oh, is he? Yes. Oh, my God, I don't even know. Oh, my God, because he don't fucking that. That'll give it away. I'm not even going to say that a lot of the things that are going to give it away. Yeah, y'all got to figure it out. Yeah. Y'all get in the comments and tell us who we're talking about. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm with you 100%. I'm like, bro, you cannot do that. Like, if you if you are going to go party, you got to be in private. You can't be in a public place like this, like nothing. No free pizza, no free drinks. He should have to pay to get in clubs. You have to pay for every time he go through. What is it? Wait in line. Wait in line, man. Yeah. If you care about your team, you will respect the players. And by respecting the players, I mean, you will not give them alcohol. You're not giving them carbohydrates. We're not feeding them ice cream. You're not giving them extra calories. You're not giving them anything while they're preparing for the regular season or during the regular season. If they have a great regular season, we going into a little break. Please, let's party. Let's dance. Let's hang out. How dare he celebrate Labor Day? He don't even work. That's what I'm talking about. What the fuck you? You've been celebrating Labor Day for years. How dare he? God damn. That's crazy to me, yo. OK. I'd be furious. Hand on my team, but I'd be furious. I want to salute the rich, Paul. Salute the Gilbert Arena's podcast. Do we have another ad? Yeah, we got some more ads, bro. All right, guys, we're going to take a break for a second, because you know what time it is. It's fall, OK? And we cannot fall off in a dick game when it comes to our wives, our partners, our side pieces, not mine, not Charlotte's. You don't have any. Exactly. We don't have any. But like a girl like Taylor deserves good dick, even if there's a gentleman that's starting a new family. A new family. You know what I mean? So that's probably what got her crazy now. He probably was on it already. Honestly, you're 100% right. And how are we going to maintain that? How are we going to do that? We're going to do that with the chew. Blue chew has got our backs.

Remember, guys, it's after Labor Day, so no more sleep when we're white women. Just want to throw that out there, OK? And also, we didn't salute the goat, man. We did a whole segment about sports talking. Didn't salute the goat, prime time, Deon motherfucking Sanders, one of the greatest motivational speakers of all time. We have these conversations about coaches who can make their players run through a fucking brick wall. And he can do it. Can't nobody make you run through a goddamn brick wall like Deon motherfucking Sanders. Can you explain what the drama is about? I'm trying to understand. Akats was trying to explain it to us on Flagrant, and I still didn't get it. It seemed drama. I don't think it was drama. I think that, you know, there was drama when he left Jackson State, because people wanted him to stay at Jackson State because it was an HBCU. He went to Colorado. And I think that you had a lot of people who didn't think, which is weird to me, who didn't think that a lot of these kids that he bought from an HBCU could perform at this high level, which makes no sense because he- Oh, did he bring HBCU players there? But here's the thing. These guys played for an HBCU, but Travis Hunter was a fucking four-star recruit. You know what I mean? His son was like a four-star recruit. These are some of the top, you know, talented recruiters in the country. He recruited the talent to the school that wouldn't usually get this talent. That's all. And now he's taking that talent to where they usually would be. It would be. You know what I mean? Gotcha. And he's also prolific as a coach. Oh, my God. Yeah. And nobody expected this. They beat TCU. TCU was ranked number 17. They were the runner-ups in the national championship game last year. He comes in with 86 new players. They were 21-point underdogs. Unbelievable. You know what I mean? His son grew for 500 yards or something. Oh, my God. Threw for over 500 yards. Connected with four different receivers. All of them had over 100 yards rushing. I'm like, yo, man, if this our Colorado gonna be playing all year, this gonna be my favorite team to watch. Bro, can you talk about this? I think it was Travis Hunter, kid who was playing on both sides of the ball. I think they said he played like 127 snaps. Not sustainable, though. Of course not sustainable. Yeah, I don't want to see that for that young man. But what a talent. What a fucking talent. Unbelievable. What a talent. He had an interception. He had 11 catches. He had over 100 plus yards. Like he is, and he wants the Heisman. He already played. He's like, I want the Heisman. And just to clarify for people who are watching from abroad, in football, you usually play one American football. American football, the real football, you usually play one position. And that is usually an offensive position or a defensive position. Some people will also play what is called special teams. And that's when you do the kickoff. The returns. That's why Deion was special. Because Deion would line up at Y receiver every now and then. He was one of the best defensive backs ever. And he was a punt returner and a kickover. That's right. So it's very rare that you see, especially when you get really specialized in college football, to see a wide receiver and a defensive. What is he? Cornerback, right? Cornerback. He's a quarterback, right? Not only is it rare because it takes so much talent to play either position, but also you're going to be exhausted. Like you're going 100. He must have been on the blue chew. He must have been blue chew and elevate you. I'm serious, man. There's no reason for Travis Hunter to do what he did. And didn't look gassed or nothing and was giving it his all every fucking play. I'm like, y'all don't want that for that kid, man. Yeah, he's amazing, we don't need that. Yeah, the reason obviously you say that is because, and people are starting to speculate about this with AAU basketball is, you only have so much wear and tear that your muscles, your joints can take. That's right. So if he's playing literally twice as much as any other athlete would play, that's going to take away from your professional career. My God. And I think that's what they say in a lot of these AAU basketball kids is like, oh, he's got AAU knees, right? And what the fuck is that? And he goes, well, these AAU teams are traveling, they're playing fucking five games a weekend or whatever it is. So by the time those kids reach college, their knees are taking a fucking pounding. Absolutely. Does he get two salaries if he's playing both sides? Two salaries. Isn't that interesting though? It should be, right? Well, he wouldn't because obviously he's in college. You can't. But if he goes to the least, no. But isn't that interesting? You should be able to. And I think that's why a lot of them would be like, I'm not doing that. Yeah, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. I could get injured now. He likes it though. Two times a chance, of course. Yeah, he loves it. And maybe you don't get two salaries but maybe you get the highest salary that your position would get. So in other words, if you're that dynamic that you can play on both sides of the ball, I'm not just gonna play you as a corner. I'm not just gonna pay you as a Y receiver. I'm gonna pay you as Y receiver plus. What about the God and the Angels? Isn't either baseball version of that? Shohei Otani, who is arguably like, some might say the most talented baseball player alive right now, who is a pitcher, who is a dynamic pitcher and also was leading the major leagues and home runs. But that's normal though. No, no, no. Pitchers suck at bat. No, only in the national league, only in the national league. And even then you hide them. You're talking about your cleanup hitter is also your pitcher. And keep in mind, pitchers play one every five games. Like that's how difficult pitching is. Damn. Right, because your arm is fucking dead for a week. Yeah, I don't watch baseball. Neither do I. I like it when everybody wants it. But it's so impressive to see somebody do it. Like you're talking about Bo Jackson type shit. When everybody was like, come on, man. Come on, football and baseball in the same week. I like baseball and everybody was on steroids. But Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter, Edwards, Jimmy Horn Jr., Xavier Weaver, Beast. And when you got four receivers that's all got over 100 yards receiving, I don't need Travis Hunter on every play on offense. You know what I'm saying? You know what's nice about this like career arc for Dion Sanders is that I think a lot of times when you have these incredibly successful athletes and it definitely happens with black athletes more, a lot of their success can be chalked up to this raw pure athleticism. And then you see a guy like, and he had it, right? Like they said a lot of times when it was like a down, you had to do like the run the 40 yard dash thing. He was like, whatever the fastest score is, take a 10th off of that and just put that in. Cause I'm gonna beat them no matter what. And he had that. But when you see him go into a coaching position, you can't coach someone to run 4.2. At all. You have to be able to lead players. You have to be able to understand the game. You gotta be a leader of men, man. And really truly understand the game. So it's like, it's great to see somebody who you could have chalked up his success to just being purely athletic. Now go, oh shit, not only was he an elite athlete, he was an elite athlete with an incredible acumen for the game. And that's why he was able to harness that athleticism in the most profound way. And now you're getting to see him just have the understanding of the game and bestowed out on these other young talents. Now you have to go look at Deion's career and go, oh wow, this was a fundamental genius that had elite athleticism. And usually those people that have the elite athleticism, they don't give a fuck about the fundamentals because they've been able to beat people off the athletics. And patience. I watched Shana Sharp spit all over Steven A. Smith yesterday and he said one of the biggest things that Deion Sanders has is patience. He said he's one of the most patient people. So he's able to sit there with those kids and when they don't get something, he don't get frustrated, he don't get upset, he just has a level of patience with these kids. And I'm like, wow. And then when you think about it and you see him and how they respect him, you can see that. Because we tend to lose patience with people who lose patience with us. You know what I'm saying? If somebody's trying to teach you something but they seem frustrated about it and they're like, how the fuck you can't understand? When you're doing stuff like that to a person, it makes me lose patience with that individual. They lose confidence. They lose confidence. Something that he does that these kids, man, he really makes them feel like they can run through walls. And there's this quote, I actually posted it on my Instagram earlier where Deion was like, he just really, truly does not give a fuck about the opinions of other people. And I think that he is able to convey that, we can assert that clip too, but he's able to convey that to these players because these players have to silence all outside. Noise, right? Like if you're reading all week, how you don't stand a chance, how you're a 21 point underdog, how you might not even win a game in September. They said Colorado may not even win a game in September. If you're a player and you're seeing all this shit subconsciously, you might buy into it. Of course. And that shit will affect your performance. Of course. You really do become, like your thoughts really do become things. So if you constantly taking that in like, ah man, we not gonna win, man. We 21 point underdogs, man. They say we not gonna win a game in September. Man, you think we gonna win a game in September? You can't come in here with none of that self-doubt talk. Don't come in here with that negative talk. They were convinced they were gonna show up. They were gonna convince they were gonna win. Dion kept saying, we coming, which is crazy pause worthy. But he kept saying that over and over, we coming, we coming, we coming. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Dion said, you know what I'm saying? We here now, after they fucking won, he didn't say, he didn't say that. He said, we not coming no more. We here now. I'm sitting on the couch like, where is camera on when you need it? You know what I'm saying? But shout to Colorado. I'm watching you. Y'all might be my favorite team. I know y'all gonna be my favorite team to watch all year. So Dion's so proven as a coach, why hasn't he got a shot at the Projet? Do you think? Well, I think he's still being proven. You think? Yeah, because he didn't play at the highest level, right? He did it with Jackson State and everybody like holy shit. Can he coach a dive level? Yeah, but now, sorry coach, yeah. And now, now he coached at Jackson State, now he's coaching at Colorado. This isn't even the highest level. The highest level is the SEC, what we were talking about before. But if he's dominant out here in the big 12, it's called? I think it's the big 12 next year. I don't think it's the big 12 now. What does it call this, whatever division? I forgot what they're in now. Please believe there'll be opportunities. There'll be opportunities. Man, Dion Sanders, this headline right here is amazing. If Dion Sanders can shock the world in game one, imagine what he gonna do in Colorado in the coming years. Why do they like coming so much? Because, like what do you like about it? Dion is gonna win a national championship. He's going to win a national championship. Bro, that thing you posted was fire when he was just like, listen, I'm him. I'm him. But he wasn't even saying that arrogant. He was saying, as a matter of fact, that you have to understand, I am him. I have been him for years and I am still him. Like it was just beautiful. What about me would make you think that I care about your opinion of me? Your opinion of me is not the opinion that I have of myself. You ain't make me so you can't break me. You didn't build me so you can't kill me. You know what? God established me. So you ain't nothing you can do to me. I've been dealing with this foolishness since Pee Wee football, man. I've been him. I've been a difference maker, a game changer. I've been that guy. So what will change now that I'm coaching? Not a darn thing. I'm not even playing the game and you got an opinion of me. I don't care. And I wish the world thought like that. Youngsters do not give a darn what opinion people have of you. Long as that opinion is not consistent with that of yourself. You be you. I'm not playing to make you feel good about me. I already feel good about me. I'm good. I'm apologetic, unwavering self-belief. Yeah, why would I let what you guys think about me affect what I think about me? I know how I feel about me. So it doesn't matter what any of y'all think. I am him. I promise you, if you ever look around the world and you look at all these different people in all these different industries and if you ever wonder why everybody seems off of their game sometime, it's because we all are listening to the opinions of other motherfuckers. You have to drown that shit out. Like to be able to disconnect yourself from what people say about you in this era is a superpower. But you have to do it because that shit will fuck with you. We just had this conversation last week. I'm just talking about you. You can see how people can hear things about themselves, read things about themselves and internalize that. 100%. To not be able to internalize that or not take it in at all and know who the fuck you are and what you here to do. It's a superpower, man. Very difficult. It's a superpower. Ask an idiot, Taylor. What was that about Russ? Scroll up real quick. What did Russ say? Russ claims corrupt corporations. Oh, sleuth of Russ, man. Russ, you win it. Stop worrying about what them corporations are doing. What we got, Taylor? I forgot. I just saw Russ talking about it. Shout out, Russ, man. Sleuth of Russ. Ooh! God damn it, Taylor. That fucking dude got you frasin'. Oh, my God, damn. Knowing that man ain't home right now, burping a little baby, got her losing her mind. Coulda woulda shoulda said, would you rather aliens or Jesus be real? Ooh, ooh! Jesus. Ooh! Ooh! Jesus, without a doubt. I think Jesus has- Why without a doubt, though? I think because I think Jesus- Say again? He could take out the aliens. Why don't we want to take aliens out, you fucking evil colonizer, Chris? Why you want to take them out for no reason? Because they're here to take me out of them. You don't know that! You don't know that! They might be coming for you! That's just what we do. Jesus Christ! Now, what if people thought about Taiwan like that? Facts. You know what I'm saying? Chris, God damn, Chris. No, Jesus, I don't know. I just feel like so many people have changed their lives and behaved in better ways because of what they thought Jesus, of who they thought Jesus to be. I think aliens being real would humble the earth way more than Jesus being real. Now, keep in mind, Jesus being real, he doesn't need to be the son of God, but for there to be this historical figure who is riling shit up and pushing back, and pushing back against authority and a corruption, and being so, well, I almost said, God damn. No, and being so about that life and being rebellious and the quote, unquote, real story of Jesus, not kind of like the hippie, yeah dude, whatever, it's all eat together, but I'm talking about the dude who is really about that action, walking around the temple, flipping fucking tables, what are you guys about? Like, I would love for that guy to be real. Everybody's scared of that right now. Say again? I would love that guy. All the teachings that are here, all the stories about Jesus are here right now. Don't get me wrong, let me take that back. There's plenty of people who are God fearing, who worship Jesus, who abide by Jesus and everything Jesus does. There's plenty of people on this planet that do that, but if aliens came back right now, I feel like aliens would humble people more than Jesus would. We would find a way to politicize Jesus and find a way to debate about Him. You know what I'm saying? If he was black, that might turn a lot of people off. If he really comes back, described the way he looks in the Bible, that might turn a lot of people off. You know what I mean? And if he comes back telling you, telling certain people that they're wrong, like right, that's gonna turn people off too. But who would he tell is wrong? He will do us. Now he would tell Christians, but Christians would have to take that. Christians would have to take that. He's like, yo, I'm the son of God. I think one of the dopest thing about Jesus is he's not a man, he's the son of God. This is the epitome of what a man should try to be even though we will fail. And it's nice to have that example of what we should be, but not a man understanding the whole time. We cannot achieve that, but we should try. When you try to live up to a man, you constantly feel like shit that you haven't lived up to the standards of that other human being. It's awesome that there's this person who is perfection, right? We cannot live up to what we should fucking try and by trying, we will live a better life not only for ourselves but for the people around us. But you know he's not gonna, I agree with you, but you know he's not gonna just be judging Christians. Cause he's gonna be judging all of us. He's not gonna be judging nobody, he's Jesus. Thou shall not judge. Nah, he gonna be judging. He gonna be like. That's up to daddy. That's daddy gonna be judging. If I'm Jesus, I gotta question something. So I gotta be like, man, he knew his man was gonna fucking rat him out. He already knew at dinner. He's like, yo, come to dinner. I know you're gonna fuck up. But you wouldn't look around and be like, that dude is the realist. Pull back up in the town on a donkey. What's up? Do what you needed to do. But you wouldn't look around. Do what you need to do, yo. You wouldn't look around just a little bit and be like, I died for this. That's what I died for. But he knew he was lit up there too, bro. He knew he was lit. He knew he was going, man. He was like, he was going to the Hamptons. What about the non-Christian cultures that like Muslims, Hindus, all that? They're culture is just like destroyed. It's not destroyed because all those people do believe in Jesus as a prophet. They believe in Jesus as a prophet. So they're gonna be like, oh shit, okay, Jesus was really that dude. And maybe Jesus comes back and he's like, yo, yeah, Muhammad, yeah, we sent Muhammad next. Maybe he comes back and he's like, yo, I was there for that time. I had to get it. We sent Muhammad next. We're all saying the same thing. We're all doing the same thing because dad is telling us to all do the same thing. Oh, you guys got this wrong about this thing over here. And Christians, you guys switch this old thing up here at the fucking meeting of Constantinople, whatever that shit is. You know, you switch these things up, but like the messaging, he'll just clear up the messaging. Let me ask you this. Coulda woulda shoulda? You wanna ask an idiot, let an idiot ask you a question. Okay. What if Jesus is an alien? Wow. What if Jesus was an alien? Now, technically anyone not from this planet who is here is what? An alien. You know what I'm saying? All of that stuff we thought was the walking on water, you know, the turning the two loaves of bread and fish to feed 40,000, 5,000, how much it was. Most of the Jesuses I've met in my life have been illegal aliens. That's what I'm saying. So there is some credibility to your argument. That's right. That's right. The resurrection, how you know, he just didn't beam up real quick. You know what I mean? Power up, come back. You know what I'm saying? We'll go back up to the space and come back down. I'm just saying Jesus coulda been an alien. I just hope he looks extremely Jewish. Say what? I just would hope he looked extremely Jewish when he comes back. Why? He's Jewish. I know, but people don't realize that. So I would hope he looks... But he would have looked Jewish like you guys. You mean like black Jewish people? No, no, no. He would have looked like Dave. Sephardic Jews. Like Dave, maybe? He'd look Arab. Dave? No, yeah, he'd look Arab. No, he's Arab. He'd look like Nipsey Hussle. He'd look like Duff. He'd look like Duff. He'd look like Duff. Right, Arafat, something like that, maybe. Yeah, he'd look proud of standing up. Why would he be fat? He'd look proud of standing up. He'd say he'd be fat. You did, didn't he just say that? Chris really trying to rile up the Jews. I know, I know, I ain't trying to rile up the Jews. Why would he be fat? I don't understand. Jesus is dope, bro. Jesus is dope. With some respect on Jesus, man. With some respect on Jesus' name, man. Ooh, Ryan Cooper says, what is a questionable fetish that you can't, won't understand? Feet. Hmm, my feet is dope. Everybody getting feet. Barbie came out. Y'all couldn't stop talking about feet. Stop dick riding. Y'all. Stop dick riding. Y'all, all of the Hollywood, it's a billion dollar movie. Billion dollar movie sold on feet. Why was it sold on feet? I didn't see it. What do you mean why? The whole ad, the billboard with her little heels pointed up, they got her toes out. Really? Yeah, y'all don't like feet too. You just scared. Don't be scared. What would Jesus do? A questionable fetish. What would Jesus do? Think about what Jesus would do. I think getting peed on is a questionable fetish that I don't quite understand. Like why would you want to get peed on? Yeah, that's, that's all I'm saying. You know what I'm saying? Like lining up for the golden shower is kind of crazy. Nah, I don't fucks with that at all. You know what I mean? I can understand if you in the shower and y'all just, you know, washing together and... It's a joke. Yeah, you know what I mean? Some shit comes out and you're like, oh, you peeing, you know what I mean? Yeah. But just to like lay down and get that goddamn golden shower is crazy. Lay down and get peed on is crazy. Taking a shit. Isn't it the same as like when guys like to come on girls, though? What you mean, girls like that? So you say girls ask for that. Guys to like to pee or... Come and urine aren't the same things, too. I know they're not. But why do girls always ask for that? Why are girls so fucking hungry for that? For what? Just to get drenched up. I didn't get, just think about this, too. Why are girls always trying to get spilled on, bro? That's a good point. That's a good point. They always try to get spilled on. Or the woman didn't want to. Either or. A woman peeing on a man, a man peeing on a woman, like why would you want that? Girls love it, bro. They cold, you know? That's a good observation, because why do people like to come on a girl's faces? Exactly, it's like this, it's a still you're drenching the girl, so it doesn't matter. I mean, women gotta answer that question. It's the same difference like... They like it. Like if you giving a guy a head, you might swallow the cum. But you ain't gonna swallow his pee. And pee's more healthy for you, I think. It's got some vitamins in it. Yeah. Ooh, this is a good one. Michael Stewart wants to know, Taylor, if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Didn't say that. That's crazy. One food, not one cuisine. One food. One food. Oh, dude, that one's fucking tough, man. Cheesesteaks. I knew you were gonna say that now. What did you say? I would say mangoes. Mangoes. You're gonna get tired of mangoes. I love mangoes. You're gonna eat mangoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, yo. Mango. It's easy. Oh, the fruit? You wanna have this shit in your teeth all day? Nah, bro. I'm not talking about like, you could, you know... Nah, mangoes you can get tired of. What would you have? One food for the rest of my life. It's... It got me pizza. It is a meal or a piece of food? Yeah, I can't... Yeah, I don't understand what he's saying. He says one food. Like a thing, like... That's not like a thing, maybe. Oh, God. Isn't that your peanuts? Nah. Bro, pizza's so good, but no, dude, because I don't want the bread. Yeah, but you don't get tired of it. She don't. You don't get tired of pizza? Ooh. Of course, Chris. High-end sushi. Chris said high-end sushi. Bro, not high-end sushi. Everybody in this room is so fucking stereotypical. Like, what else is Chris supposed to say? The chicken. The chicken. Um, Kyle, what would I have, man? Um, honestly, this is what I'd have. A burrito bowl. So the guac, chicken, the hot sauce, the salsa. Burrito bowl. That's it. If I get tired of the chicken, I just eat that guac and that rice and that salsa. If I get tired of the rice and salsa, I just eat that fucking chicken, but that's what I'd have. Dynamic enough. For me, it would definitely be probably salmon. I don't know. It would be a fish. I don't know if it would be salmon, or mai mai. Look at that mercury poisoning. You're gonna be dead. Nah, man. I love salmon with mai mai. One of those two fishes would be mine, you know what I mean? I can do seafood all day long. Scroll down. Scroll down, Ter Ru. Let's do one more. Scroll down. Scroll down Scroll down Scroll down. Come on, slow down, Ter Ru. Oh, this is a good one. I like this, Alex Bowles, 34. Rank the importance of these qualities. One through three. Self-awareness, confidence, hard work. Ooh, I like that, we can end on that. Rank the importance of those qualities. Hard work, oh, you go first. I'm gonna say self-awareness, confidence. I'm actually keeping that order. Self-awareness, confidence, hard work. Wow. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, let me check this. Yeah, self-awareness, confidence, hard work in that order. I don't think there's anything more important than self-awareness. And the reason I say that because we live in a society where so many people lack self-awareness because so many people don't know who they are. So in order to have self-awareness, you have to have a knowledge of self. In order to have self-awareness, that means that you have totally drowned out the opinions of other people. You know who you are, you know what you're about, and nobody can tell you any different. And you're aware of all your flaws. When you're self-aware, you're constantly getting better. You know what I'm saying? You're constantly getting better because you don't believe your own hype. You can look in the mirror and be like, hey, I'm not as good as they say I am. I'm not as bad as they say I am. I'm always just somewhere in that middle. Confidence is self-explanatory. You gotta have confidence in yourself. And real confidence though. Not confidence that comes because of what position you're in or how much money you got, or what kind of car you're driving. Just confidence in you as a human being. And hard work is self-explanatory. Yeah, I think hard work is number one. I think confidence is number two. And I think number three is self-awareness, but that doesn't mean that it's not incredibly important. Like all these things are incredibly important. But I think sometimes some delusion is important when you're going after incredibly ambitious dreams. I don't think that's delusion. I think that's confidence. I think that's kind of, like somebody like you, at some point in life, you saw God put something in your heart and your mind and say, I'm gonna be one of the greatest stand-up comics ever. Something was inside of you. And it gave you that confidence to get on that stage and try out these jokes. And you put in the hard work. When you started with an awareness of self. You know, and you're a funny guy. You know who you are. I hate that it looks like I'm saying that self-awareness is the least important because all these three things are incredibly important. And self-awareness is like the magic trick, really. Because knowing things about yourself allows you to tap into your humanity, which people relate to without knowing things about themselves. So being able to reflect on yourself, someone else will really relate to what you're talking about. Even though they don't realize in that moment, you're actually talking about them as well. So it's so important. But I think sometimes if you're really self-aware, sometimes you're more fair to yourself than you need to be. I'm hyper-critical of the things that I create. Maybe too critical, but that's good because it's gonna push me to get better. But what if I was really honest with myself? And I was like, no, that was pretty good. And it's like, that's why even confidence is a double-edged sword. It's like, you need the confidence to believe you can be anything, but you need to be so self-critical that you try to perfect it to the point where you're at the top of your position. But you got a team. So being that you're aware enough to know how you feel. So you say, okay, I think this is pretty cool, but let me run it by my team. And you have the confidence in yourself to listen to the people around you. If they be like, eh, that ain't it's show. So you be like, all right, I can go a little bit harder. You know what I'm saying? Or, if they are- But you gotta be the most critical. Or, exactly. Or if they say, I don't like that, but you be like, nah, this shit's lab show. And you gotta know that it's right. That's confidence. That's, you're so right, man. The confidence, you have to have the confidence to know that the thing that you're doing that isn't good enough yet will be great when it gets there and what your most potent form of expression. Yeah, dude, all these things, it's really interesting when you break down what qualities lead to success. Yeah, all these things are so interchangeable. It's hard to rank them, but they're all incredibly important. Alex boss 34. And yeah, they're really important to have. I just got self-awareness first because I see so many people who lack it. And those people have a really difficult time in the creative process. Yeah, they really- You don't feel that there are some people, whether they're happy or unhappy, they're still successful without having self-awareness? Oh yeah. That's why I feel like hard work should be won because I've never met a successful person that doesn't work hard. Well, to that point, are they experiencing true success? I would say that if you're successful, but you lack self-awareness, I don't know if I want that because to me, those are the people that ended up crashing and burning because they don't know when enough is enough. Yeah, I'm not saying they might be in the happiest state, but I'm just saying they can still reach success. Yeah, you can still be successful. So that's why I feel like hard work would have to be number one for this question. I'm not mad at that either. I'm not mad at that. All right, we done, guys? I think so. We did it, we did it, we did it. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple idiots that don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliantiest podcast. Thank you for listening. Peace.
