gonna be in uh milwaukee today uh oh shit today i'm gonna be in milwaukee um i'll be at the turner hall ballroom how long you in milwaukee i'm literally only there for a few hours excellent food in milwaukee i love milwaukee that's my spot milwaukee is a dope city yes i'm gonna be at the minority health film festival uh discussing my favorite thing to discuss which is mental health so uh pull up on me turner hall ballroom doors open at 11 30 a.m 12 p.m is an open panel discussion 1 p.m is a conversation with me that is today at the turner hall ballrooms hopefully we get this out in a timely manner question um when you do these talks in front of in front of crowds i get anxiety yeah i was gonna ask like are you do you get nervous before absolutely you know it's so crazy because like when you write a book right yeah you just put it out to the world people read it it is what it is yeah it's a book that is about your anxiety and being a little depressing and PTSD and issues with your father whatever whatever vulnerable stuff now you got to sit in front of people yeah and talk about it yeah and every time i do it no matter where i do it at it always feels like i'm in therapy and i literally feel like i'm up there butt naked just stepping out the shower shrinkage and i don't want nobody to see me including my wife every single time and and did you feel that way when we would do idiots live no so this is completely different now that like the tough exterior is shed absolutely there's no jokes this is real yeah it is we just out there cutting the shit yeah fucking around having a good time like laughing joking this shit is like oh shit yeah you really feel that vulnerable because i'm not comfortable talking about my anxiety and depression and going to therapy in front of large crowds okay so i already the whole situation there's a uh that there's something that people have always asked me about like like the live performance they're like aren't you nervous like what happens if you know you bomb or these types of things and while i can get nerves in the live performance i actually prefer it because i feel like there's some semblance of control for example some guy heckles me or some chick heckles me i can react to that even if a joke doesn't go well i can react to that i find that like putting out a project like the special or the or a book is way more nerve wracking and vulnerable because even though you control all the variables variables until you put it out once it's out yeah yeah yeah that doesn't give you more nerves than then well like when you release a book and you're like that's it it's printed a million times and that's the fuck the way it's going to be i'm glad you know that i get printed a million times that's great uh yo can we flex a little bit but um yeah i mean i just think it's like it's a different level of content like when you put something out that you can look back like i think you're comfortable to understand them yeah so you know you control the environment you fuck around but when you're talking about something that's a little bit out of your comfort zone because these aren't things that you've been talking about publicly for years or some shit like that or even like talking about emotional shit it's a different even the political shit don't scare me no more i love feeling like you're well versed in it yeah and i mean i love being on cnn and msnbc and all these different networks because it's not even just about politics anymore it's pop culture that's your outlet yeah gotta thank obama and trump for that yeah you know what i'm saying like they made uh the political conversation uh a pop culture conversation yeah so everything intertwined like i was on don lemon this week and we was talking about i saw you with your arm over that's my god like y'all in the hamptons did he ask you if it smelled like anything nah nah damn bro but we were talking about dates your pal sticks and stones oh yeah you know what i'm saying that came out of a conversation of me saying people don't understand nuance anymore if he was talking about trump and that came from trump and christie teigen going at it because trump was like i want some motherfucking credit for this first step back yeah because y'all not giving it to me and i'm like he does deserve credit yeah he's the president yeah he passed the bill like seven thousand people got released from prisons this year the majority of them black yeah so why wouldn't you give trump some credit for that like like i'm not i'm not that biased or i don't i don't hate trump that much to not tell the truth i want to be objective at all times so me saying that and saying people don't understand nuance anymore led into you know don saying well you know you say people don't understand nuance so did you see sticking stones especially so that was a whole different conversation but it's all politics it's all pop culture even dave special is opening up conversations about you know uh where we are as a society right so it just all makes sense it's all intertwined nowadays yeah i don't even feel i don't feel off when i'm i used to see you on that show was that show you used to do uh red eye red eye yeah you seem like you was in your element yeah because it was like it was a new show but it was specifically geared towards like being funny like i think they took on pop culture topics and they were asking me for a funny take i didn't have to like inform people yeah they had they had it was crazy they used to have like that guy john bolton who was the national security guy that trump just fired yeah like he used to come on all the time and he decided to resign i saw a resign a resignation letter oh i my understanding was is yeah i saw trump say trump act like he fires every trump's like the guy who gets broken up with and i was like no i told that then trump said let me think about it and then fired yo that's great yo that's how y'all gotta do your girlfriends bro don't get broken up with yeah let's let me think about us us not being together yeah then you break up with her on instagram give me a day yeah but i mean listen yeah i mean that's that's the only time i do feel anxiety when i'm having those uncomfortable conversations about anxiety yeah you know i mean because i don't want nobody to look at me at i don't want nobody to look at me at as an expert when it comes to anything i'd always say i'm just a human being who got some experiences and i share my experiences even on those political shows i'm just giving my opinion right you know i'm saying like i mean of course you state some facts you know when you're dealing with certain things but i'm just giving my opinion yeah me saying you know trump should get creative for the first step back is my opinion but i would i would hope that's a fact yeah that's an honest statement he is the president like and i like going on there is like a not necessarily expert but as like a pundit when it comes to pop culture like one of the things that i had to kind of learn is it like when i go on these shows it's like i'm the comedian on this show i'm not no fucking truth teller i'm not this like expert you are no no no but my lens to tell truth is comedy yeah i got you and and i feel like once comics or a lot of people once they take this responsibility of being like this this moral virtue signal type of person i think that's when you lose everybody absolutely especially you lose your comedy right because all of a sudden you're making judgments on people on this serious show and then you want to tell this silly joke about women they're like how could you say that joke about women how could you say that joke about illegal immigrants over here trying to be this pious person so for me creating a little bit of separation between that like i'd like to be in the comedian i like the freedom of that you know what i mean i'm not trying to be anything different i just like being me say what i just like being me don't label me with any of these social constructs right okay i'm just me yeah all right i don't have any identity of nothing i just want to i just want to go on here and motherfucking perform that's right and i don't even want to say perform because even performance sound like you you know pretending to do something i just like to go up here and have real honest conversation like we would have anywhere else you asked me a question i'm gonna tell you how i feel about it right i'm not pandering in those audience i'm not on no one side you asked me how i feel about something i'm going to tell you yeah yeah don't trump deserve credit for the first step back yes 100% man yeah i guess not even everybody finds their tool to get their like truth out but you start looking i'm gonna tell you when you start looking stupid though when you use a different tool when you start using a different tool and you're not really being truthful you're not being authentic it's not you you're being truthful based off what you think public perception is going to be especially in this area because we can all go to our phones immediately yeah get that validation i don't do that shit when i go do this cnms ms you know i don't even look at that shit dude you know what i think about sometimes it's like like there's certain comics right that they'll end up like going to stump for a president right and i or like even a politician or some somebody and um i see them stumping and they're effective i think even chappelle did it like they're effective but spell thumps for his cousin all the time Ben yeah ben jones yeah and it's like it's it's kind of effective but it would be 10 times more effective if you just wrote a hilarious bit that showed why he was great for that job but that's because every uh politician now and that's what the democrats are fucking up they need pop culture angles baby sure but it's also that's the most organic form of view that's the most authentic form of view like seeing chappelle be very serious about something and having no punchline whatever you're almost like uh what's going on here like there are certain people who that's their that's their lane is being serious and saying how it is etc and you expect that from them but like use your means of messaging to use your tool yeah use your fucking tool and i think like i think that was a mistake i definitely made earlier on is like i saw other people speaking on things and it was like well i must speak on them like that's like that's not how i get it done that's when people didn't even know you as a comedian exactly as we had to educate yeah they thought you was the second coming of ben Shapiro it was like who is this guy he's there you'd be like ben Shapiro time you're lowering andrew shows i'm like nah bruh like y'all kind of fucked up but that and that's on me too is because i got to do the branding like if i had on would you meet who what did you say that's on me as well oh okay that's like i got to make sure i got to be aware of my own branding which is like i should have been had clips out i should have been had things out showing that that's my sense of humor and i'm taking on these hard topics and i'm trying to find a funny angle in these things and now the reaction i get now when i say something wild is oh that's what he does he's a comedian absolutely in a specific type like i am going for that very difficult tricky topic to make funny and there is it's high risk high reward it's like it's like that free solo you've ever seen that documentary free solo about that guy who climbs the big ass mountain with no ropes or nothing i mean it's insane but the idea is like is it about suicide clearly nah but like i mean it's a totally different thing i think he's a hundred percent serial killer but this is where he went with it like he has the same makeup as a serial killer but he found another outlet to like get that rush that thrill that thrill right and it's like um but just high stakes high reward i like the idea of the topic being so dangerous that if it's bad it's really bad but if it's good it's like holy shit it's really good and you even see what chappelle special it's like when you take some risks motherfuckers are talking and everybody look contrary to popular belief oh no let me take that back contrary to the internet's popular belief the world is receiving dave chappelle special in an amazing way so is the internet this we're talking about 10 blogs that don't care about it yes my my my and that was the whole thing with don and but mind you don is a part of the lgbt community and don was asking me about the special because he likes the special right he's like i thought it was funny yeah my other uh homegirl from msnbc i'm not gonna say her name because i don't know if she want me to but older white woman when she saw that i was coming up on cnn to talk about the special she sent me this long email she was like shaman please don't go in on dave you know i'm like why would i go in on dave she's like don't go in on dave what he's doing is necessary for the culture and we got to start having these uncomfortable conversations that's the only way we're going to get to an understanding this is an older white woman yeah that works at msnbc yo like you know it's interesting did you see that clip that commie central put out is maybe the first funny thing commie central is put out in like i don't know years 10 years still does funny they don't but this was actually funny blake griffin was on this roast in the roast of alex balder i didn't like it now the joke was blake griffin was tea uh making a joke about katlyn janer who was on the dais and i like it great content terrible delivery let's play it we can play you can play the i like the delivery bro that's fair regardless of whether you like the delivery or not it's not even i thought the joke was very good for those if we don't end up playing the jokes of it jokes very simple he's talking to katlyn janer he's like katlyn janer proves that uh knowing in your family likes white dick hilarious hilarious but he couldn't he hasn't it was that little hesitation sure sure fair enough i mean not a comedian no i'm being too tough on anxiety plays tricks on you sometimes i don't know if you know that at all but uh yeah so basically what happens is um katlyn to her credit really fucking laughed at the joke stood up and i thought that that was a great statement for like the trans community because it's like hey if we want to be treated like equals we got to get some jokes you got to get these jokes you got to get these jokes so any look it was a safe environment nobody wanted to beat her up nobody wanted to do anything intention matters exactly if if the joke is to hurt you please believe there are way better ways to hurt someone than a joke please believe and the trans community knows that more than anybody well they know that more than anybody do all me in middle school and high school i said you got some good ones i was in the guidance counselor's office one time because a young man decided he wanted to cut his really because of that goddamn lennard what'd you say what was the joke him and his sister used to look alike you know what i'm saying they're related yeah but they used to really look like you look like a turtle yeah but i didn't look like them but they look bad and they just look they're alike you know what i'm saying and like they and it wasn't even the fact of the jokes it was the consistency of the jokes one thing about me i'm consistent right so meaning we used to catch the bus together in the morning right so six o'clock i'm on you wow they were riding the bus we're riding the bus to school together i'm on you right then i'm seeing you in class and i'm seeing you between classes i'm on you eventually your break yeah it happens to the best of us you know what i'm saying maybe maybe all this anxiety you have is karma might be bro you might you might have earned this bro it might be but i'm gonna be honest with you a lot of that back in the day when i think about it it was me trying to keep people off me of course so you got you go to school exactly you got all the anxiety and you're the one that's really insecure and shit and you like let me get them first yeah because it started with them climbing the shit out of me in sixth grade because i had glasses and a fanny pack hanging with all the white kids so i would get clowns so much i'm like fucking if i can't beat them join them there we go and then my shit my snaps just became better you pull the pearl harbor that's what explain that to me i probably agree with it they fire first oh yes they pulled up first yeah preemptive strike right yeah preemptive no that's exactly what it is and then when you realize you know you can make people laugh and people like to be around these people are some of the most anxious people have ever met in my life so maybe that's a problem don't strike first they probably got generational trauma from that maybe yeah they also got a couple nukes no boys came the boys pulled off they even think go they even think it's another pearl harbor somebody's fingers gonna slip all right okay don't even look to fucking play with you but yeah whatever anyway um let me tell you uh i got some little dates coming up uh australia mad or tour we're coming all right perth some tickets left for perth uh oh no adelaide adelaide we got a few

That's where the full episodes and the clips and everything, more behind the scenes footage we're going to be putting up on that YouTube page. So go follow that right there. Now, let's talk about Antonio Brown. Yes. I really don't know why. Well, let's start from the beginning. OK. Antonio Brown forces himself out of Oakland. Right. Right. I don't know why people are applauding that move. Like, it's so funny to me. Are people applauding it? Oh, yeah. Who's applauding it? All the pundits are saying that he's the most selfish player they've ever seen. The loud minority on social media was so behind AB because they think that it was some master plan that he concocted to get himself out of Oakland and find himself in New England. This is what you guys are and guys are essentially saying. He found a way to fuck up $21 million. Because AB was getting a guaranteed $30 million from Oakland. He's getting guaranteed nine from New England. So he found a way to fuck up $21 million. Yes, he may be in a better situation. He'll probably win a soup bowl. But that shouldn't be applauded. I'm not going to applaud the kind of behavior that causes you to lose that kind of money. So that assumption goes along with the idea that he won't make money next year. Listen, $30 million guaranteed, 31 years old, Y receiver, NFL. So let me ask you this, right? You got $20 plus a million in a bank, right? Not asking if you do have it. I'm saying, like, you know. But your pause was quite telling. But you have, you have, whoo! Tax brackets. Now I understand, you know, Trump is a pretty good guy. Getting those black people out of prison is either. Look at those taxes. I mean, keep on doing what you want to do. That's just the truth. I know, I'm teasing you. So AB, I think, got $20 cash in a bank, right? That's what he said. He said he got $20 cash in a bank. He said that? Yeah. So if you have $20 cash in a bank, right? Where did AB get $20 million from? I don't know. That's a good question. This is his first big contract. He was wanting that guaranteed money. I don't know. I thought you looked that up, Angelo. Where did he get $20 million from? What does AB have cash in a bank? He said it somewhere in some interview. Maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe it was $10. But he still had a significant amount of cash millions in the bank, right? I mean, he's been doing, you know, what's it called, advertisements for companies and sponsorships. Because he left Pittsburgh because he wasn't getting that check. Fair, right? And he had just run a muck in Pittsburgh and then it was done. So you have $20 million in a bank. Do you want to, what does it say? Net worth is around $30 million. Net worth is a lot, by the way. Yeah, that's bullshit. But it doesn't matter. So basically $20 million, right? Let's say he has $10 million. It doesn't matter. You have $10 million in the bank. You get a guaranteed $9 million to play for a team that could go to the Super Bowl. Or you get the guaranteed $21 million over X amount of years. It was $30 million. Or guaranteed $30 million over X amount of years for a team that won't go to the Super Bowl. So I think in his mind, he's going, well, why not just take this guaranteed $9 million this year? We go to the Super Bowl. If I don't win it, I could get another contract next year for another guaranteed $9 million. I'll make the guaranteed $30 million. Yeah, but why would you want to basically work in an NFL on a year-to-year basis? I think he's so wealthy that it doesn't matter to him. I don't know if he's that wealthy. I don't know the man's pockets. Right. But I don't know. This is my assumption. My assumption is he's so wealthy it doesn't matter to him. And what matters to him now is he wants to get a ring. Imagine working for something your entire fucking life and then being put in a position where you know that you're not going to go there. It would drive me crazy too. So why not just before you got, um... Because he wanted to go to the Patriots initially. And the Patriots didn't want to give him up. Yep. They were going to send a first round draft pick for AB. But why not say, no, why not hold on until you get traded to a team you want to go to? I think his whole thing was they're not going to trade me to a competitor. They're not going to trade me to a good team because they don't want to make a good team better and actually have to go up against them. So why don't they just trade me to some bullshit? All right, fine. I'll go there. I'll say I'll accept it. I'll cause a ruckus. I'll get out of there. It's not the first time a Drew Rosenhaus client has done this, right? I mean, that's what Terrell Owens had and Drew had him back in the day. Same type of pre-season antics. Terrell Owens fucked up, though. Fucked up. You know what I'm saying? And now what's happening with AB? That's what I'm saying. So once again, you fucked over $30 million because you had to guarantee 30 to get nine with some incentives to, I think they probably had to contract 15 to work up to 15. 15 with incentives. But we know in the NFL that means nothing. No, no, incentives work in the NFL, especially if you're in AB, right? Yeah, but you probably got to do a whole lot. And by the way, in New England, his workload ain't going to be crazy. That's a fact. You know what I'm saying? So he's not going to get all of those catches and all of those y'all's receipts. He might. I doubt it, though. They keep comparing this to Randy Moss. I think this team receiving coal is way more loaded than when the Patriots had Randy Moss. It is absurd. Yeah. I mean, they just dropped to Marius Thomas. You got to be an amazing position to drop to Marius Thomas. He's a very good, he's like a tier two wide receiver. And but to have that core that you have, I mean, Josh Gordon looked un-fucking-real. Did you see him? Yes, but no, did he play? He didn't play Sunday. Yeah, he did. I didn't even see him play. Yeah, I think he got two touchdowns. The first one, he leaps in the air, catches the ball with contact, and then stops on a dime. He doesn't, dude, it was unreal. He's just looking massive about it. I thought a first half. He looks too big. My thing is this, no disrespect to Josh Gordon and AB, but I'm just saying, if I'm a franchise, do you really put all your eggs in those baskets? Two of them, like, come on. Like, you got one guy dealing with addiction. You don't know what could happen with him. And then you got AB who's just unpredictable as fuck. You don't know what could happen to him. Do you place all your bets on those two? You know what? I don't, but I think they're the type of organization that, like, they believe in them so much. If you talk about having money, them motherfuckers is always playing with house money. Oh, they're not only playing with house money, they believe in themselves. They believe in the structure. Like, they believe you could take a guy like Josh Gordon, right, and put him into that type of structure, and then all of a sudden, he'll be... And they're right. And they're fucking, they're the army, dude. What does the army do? You could take a guy who is on drugs, you know, homeless, really struggling with mental health, and then you give him fucking structure in the army, the Navy, the Marines, whatever, and all of a sudden he can come a respectable, you know, citizen. And it's like, I think the Patriots truly believe in that. They truly believe that if you give these motherfuckers enough structure and no game bullshit, that they'll be able to, you know, they'll be able to produce. Now, will they have as much fun as another team? Absolutely not. Oh, listen, yo. It's not gonna be fun. Yo, Gronk said on the shop, Gronk said everybody on the Patriots gets treated the same. Even Tom Brady. Even Tom fucking Brady. Yeah. Business all the motherfucking time. So I'm saying all I have to say, okay, Antonio's on the Patriots. I still think it's foolish that he lost $21 million. You know what I'm saying? But now you fast forward. He's been accused of rape. He's been accused of rape in like three different sexual assaults. What's the same woman? Same woman. She was a woman that was his trainer. Yeah. On one of the instances she said he came up behind her and jacked off. While she was watching a church video. Yeah. What do you mean? Pictures of what? Fine, with him jacking off? No. What do you mean? They're pictures that show them together again. Well, she was the trainer. The second time they said... He pulled his dick out. I think first time pulled his dick out, second jerked off on her back. And third time he held her down. No, the first time he said he kissed her without consent. Okay. Kissed her without consent. Second time he was jerking off. Third time held it down and raped her. Wow. Now, I said this yesterday. I said, these allegations are... Let me see. Right. They're just like videos of them together. They're just thinking those videos. Taylor, you can't go from us talking about him jerking off to just showing us videos of him line dancing with her. Like, I thought you were about to show me some like really intriguing shit. By the way, that don't mean anything. Like, just because they got pictures together. Now, that's one of the reasons I say that nobody's gonna care about this AB shit. Right. Number one, AB's hot right now. Simple mind, the people will say it's a conspiracy. You know what I'm saying? Because of the way he left Oakland, now he's with the Patriots. And if you read her allegations, they're kind of easy for people to victim blame her. You know what I'm saying? Because they're gonna say, oh, she was the trainer. She came back three times. Right. The kids threw it out, I could say it. She came back, he jerked off abroad, or it came back. Then he held it down and raped her. Then it'll be these videos that Taylor's showing me right now of them just together kicking it. So it's gonna be easy for social media that loud minority to victim blame her. So they're not even gonna care about these allegations. And it's not a criminal case either, it's a civil case? Yeah. Civil case means it's about money, it's not about justice. They're not even gonna care. It's not gonna hurt them in any way, shape, or form. The question is who do you think leaked this? Oh, no, this has been coming down the pipeline. I knew this was coming down the pipeline. Really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just been coming down the pipeline. How'd you know? Because I know man, people who work at all these news organizations. And they were like, yo, we're waiting for the perfect time to drop that. No, they said, Antonio Brown has some allegations against him, he'll probably be out in the next couple of weeks. The Raiders knew, Oakland knew, people knew that. If you're in the media, you know that shit was coming down the pipeline. See, it's like this, right? You could be in a newsroom, you could be at radio, you see certain stories. Some people wanna rush and break certain things. Some people are just like, oh, okay. They just waiting to see what happens. And then once it gets to that certain point, they're like, all right, you can put it out now. The case is filed, you know? Cause that's how it'll start. It'll start with, okay, I'm gonna file a case against such a son. Okay, so when she filed it, it'll be news. Who's church sermon do you think they were watching? It would be very dope if it was Kirk Franklin, cause Kirk Franklin had a problem with porn. So it was like, it was like, that sexual energy inside of him induced the masturbation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's possible. Now is that a compliment? Let's say you're a pastor. By the way, if a guy wants to jerk off around you, he don't give a fuck what you watching. Like, we're looking at it from the perspective of that turned Antonio Brown on. I'm assuming that he jerked off on her by accident. I'm assuming he was whacking off to the sermon and just it got on her. No, he wouldn't give a fuck if she was watching sermons, Marvel movies, the BET did not matter. We're assuming dude, it could have been a really great sermon. That's the other thing to remember too, people are calling for his job. They're like, yo, he should be waved. I'm like, it's an accusation. Listen to OJ Simpson. It's an allegation. Allocation. I'm not listening to OJ Simpson about this. Do you hear what he said? He said he goes, guys, I just want to let you know it's an accusation, not the truth. Well, broken clocks are right twice a day. Once again, new hunt. Who would know more than him? OJ can be a psychopathic murderer, but he can also be right in saying accusations are just that, accusations. Like that's the truth. Let things play to fuck out. Now if it was a criminal case, I'd be like, all right. Let's hear it out. No, yeah, but you might have to sit this one out. All right. Since you're playing this out in the court of law. But if everything works out, then you come back. Yeah. If it's a civil case, yeah, you can play. Why not? Absolutely. Why not? Innocence of proving guilty. It's not even about guilt in a civil case, is it? Oh, yes it is. I mean, you could be considered guilty, but still in life. Could think about it, the lawyers could settle. And the lawyers could settle and say, fuck it. It's just cheaper to pay it instead of going back and forth to court. That don't mean he's guilty either. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And oftentimes, like, I mean, that's how they extort you, right? That is how you get extorted. It is cheaper to just pay someone than go through all these lawyer fees to take the emotional and physical toll of having this thing in public. Going back and forth to court. Even having it go public, having it go in the news. Like, that sucks. Imagine how shitty it is right now. Let's say Antonio Brown hypothetically is innocent. Let's just say, I mean, he is until he's proven guilty. But let's say he's innocent. This is a huge emotional toll that you gotta fucking carry around. People look at you. You gotta play every week. Every single week. You go to away games and they're like, let's go raping. Yes. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, isn't that, and let's say you got 20 million in the bank and she's asking for a million. I completely understand how people go, man, just give her the million. I don't want to deal with this shit. I'm gonna be honest with you. If I'm innocent, I'm not paying shit. I'm not, that's you. I'll fight it. That's you? I get that? I'm just saying I understand the people that don't. I understand the people that go, okay, cost one million. I could end up losing 10. I could lose 10 million. If you're someone who's like, reputation is squeaky clean, like someone who relies on their reputation for their livelihood. Yeah, you're gonna settle that shit quick cause you don't even want it out. Cause it's not like back in the day where, you know, something could come out. People would let due process play out, let things go into court of law. They make that decision? And then they get not guilty. Like, okay, he is really not guilty. Nope, nowadays shit gets played out in the court of public opinion, motherfuckers get ruined, period. But I just told y'all the reasons this isn't gonna affect Antonio Brown in no way, shape, or form. So you think he's a good 100%? A hundred. Patriots undefeated. What does it take a team? They play the Dallas Cowboys this year, baby. Okay, sure. So, what is it? The Dallas Cowboys this year, in Foxborough, in the regular season, baby. Okay, okay. So, I'll give my Cowboys a look. Say what? You say I'll give my Dallas Cowboys a look? Nah, I'm with Dak, baby. Dak looking like he's gonna get a lot of money. They fucked up and I signed a Dak. Cause he was about to, I think they agreed on like 32 million a year. And after that first game, that's coming up. Yes. That's coming up. And other deals are being done and now you can see what the bar is, you know what I mean? Then you look at somebody like Julio Jones, who just got 64 million guaranteed. I don't know, like a 67 million dollar deal. And he's a fucking wide receiver. Julio Jones might've changed the way contracts are presented in the NFL forever. Why, cause it's mostly guaranteed? 97%, like you've got a quarterback. What did cousins get? Oh, oh, for non-quarterback positions. You're the wide receiver, 31 years old. Yeah, yeah. And you got a 97% guaranteed contract? Yeah. Come on, man. You fucking won in life. I would never pay a wide receiver ever, but yeah, it's a good deal. You would never pay him shit? I think, I mean, I've said, I feel like I said this a million times, but like wide receivers and running backs are the most overpaid positions in football. Until you get Randy Moss. How many rings he got? I mean, shit. He helped Brady goddamn break every fucking record in the book though. Except. Oh ring. You gotta be on a team. Even a great quarterback gotta have a good team and name the last elite wide receiver to win a ring. The last elite wide receiver to win a ring. I don't know. Because they don't win them. But they win them on a good team. They don't win them. You do not need an elite wide receiver. It is a waste of money for someone who doesn't affect the game at all. They don't affect the game on defense. And their most effective game is if they catch the ball eight times. That is not someone I'm gonna give a lot of my money to. I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't think football is a sport that you could ever look at individuals and say individuals change games. Like it's a team effort all the way around. Exactly, right? So that you need to diversify those funds for the whole team. And if you put all that money in a player like an Odell Beckham Jr. Who truly cannot affect the game enough. He can affect the game on every single play. You know who affects the game on every single play? A defensive lineman? Offensive lineman. Every single play. You know who affects the game every single play? A quarterback. You know who affects the game every single play? A quarterback. Like, and to be honest, I wouldn't even dump too much money into quarterbacks. To be honest, but like running backs, Diamond doesn't, you can get them anywhere. Not quarterbacks. Quarterback, listen. Not phenomenal running backs either, bro. Phenomenal running back to mediocre running back doesn't matter. Because if you have a good offensive line and you have a decent offense, you can get yards with them. But they're not gonna carry the game. They're not gonna make shit completely different. I just would never pay a running back or a wide receiver. And the reason I wouldn't is because I look at the teams that have won championships and they don't have elite running backs or wide receivers. Definitely not wide receiver. Wide receiver is the most useless position in football. That's not a frugal. Dallas Cowboys, baby. Who? They try and go back in the day. Dude, back in the day. Troy Eggman, Michael Irvin, and Mr. Smith. Sure, now let me ask you a question. What did the Dallas Cowboys have that revolutionized the sport? Offensive line. Now, when you have a great offensive line, that means you have more time to throw, so who gets to all of a sudden become elite? Yeah, so it's a team effort. You're wide receivers and you're running back. Pay that offensive, just do whatever the Patriots fucking do. It's like, it's really not that hard. Well, the Dallas Cowboys are gonna do it this year, God damn it. But they not because, you know what they did? They paid a running back tons of money. That's fine. And Patriots would never do that. They paid a court, they're gonna pay a quarterback tons of money. That's fine. Tom Brady always takes... Offensive line is kick the fuck up and everything else is at a bargain. We gon' see. Everything else, everything else is at a bargain. We gon' see? They might not pay homie a wide receiver. Well, Amari Cooper. Amari Cooper, they might not. And to be honest, Amari Cooper opened up your whole offense. You got Amari and all of a sudden you had that deep threat and motherfuckers had to start respecting him. Not because they had Zeke before Amari. They had Zeke before Amari. And then Amari came in and all of a sudden it was like, oh shit. But I think Zeke makes it easier for them to have a passing game. I think both, right? It's like, before you had a deep threat, you could just stack the box because you knew you weren't going deep. And I also think that your Akash brought this up on Flager and he was like, that Gallup? Is that his name? Who's the other wide receiver? He's a second-year wide receiver. And people forget, like, you're still a kid when you enter the NFL. Absolutely. A second year is a big difference. Absolutely. So now you're gonna see him start to make strides. And other ex-factors, that's a back. Jason Whitton at tight end, back. Yo, Jason, and you got Randall Cobb instead of Cole Beasley, like, yo. Listen, don't get me wrong, Cowboys are nice. We are going to the Super Bowl. Man, come on with that, bro. Come on with that. It's happening this year, bro. Come on with that, bro. Bro. You go on the Super Bowl eventually. I'm with that. It's happening this year, bro. That talk. All right. It's happening this year. I'm telling you it's going down. Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. Mm-hmm. We'll see. Guarantee. Is he gonna beat up somebody by accident on purpose? I don't know why Antonio Brown would want to go to the Patriots. That's gonna be hard not to say cracker in that locker room. Dude, we were talking about this on Flager. Like, he went from, like, a cracker GM to the... Cracker organization. Crackerist GM and organization. It is the saltiest of crackers that he is now playing for. So you can't really hate playing for a cracker. It's all fun and games until Donald Trump tweets how much he likes the Patriots. Yo. And you are the ball of Black Twitter. Now what you going to do, Antonio? You act like you don't see that. Yo, Antonio Brown and Donald Trump go to the same hairstylist for Antonio's mustache. You know what? Antonio's mustache is the same color as Donald Trump's hair. It is. That is a fact. It is. Man, what else we got? Man, what else going on? I don't know why people are tripping off Kawhi Leonard because his sister killed somebody, allegedly, is being charged with murder. Yeah, it was... I don't like that. I don't like when somebody in your family does the same thing with Simone Biles. And she got nothing to do with me. And this shit not even a story. It's only a story because they say Kawhi Leonard's sister charged with X, Y, and Z. If that wasn't Kawhi Leonard's sister, they'd just be another woman in LA who killed somebody. Yeah, they tend to do that. They tend to gravitate towards the thing people care about. When anybody does anything in Florida, they're like, Florida man. Well, Florida man is a celebrity. Think about that. We live in a celebrity-obsessed culture. Florida man who doesn't really even exist is a celebrity. Because everybody can be a Florida man. Craziness from Florida. That's it. Because if it was like Georgia man, we might not watch. If it was like New England man, we might not watch. Kentucky man trying to come up. Kentucky man might. No, no, no, no, no, no, Google Kentucky crazy stories. Kentucky man trying to come up. They got a meth thing. That was like the meth gators or something like that. And I think it's the fucking whiskey. Yeah, yeah. The meth and the whiskey is causing motherfuckers in Kentucky to wild the fuck out a little bit more. They trying to be on Florida's bumper just a little bit. That's a lot for your heart. Meth and whiskey, dude? I don't know. But I just don't like the celebrity. When you attach celebrity to something, it just automatically becomes a story. Yeah. And that shit is whacked. It's the clickbait. Oh, did you see some stuff? Kentucky? Yeah, I was trying to shoot shit. Exactly. I'm telling you. You ain't paying attention to Kentucky, bro. Kentucky, Kentucky going to be the new Florida man in about a year. Really? Yes. This time next summer? This time fucking next summer. So what happened? So she allegedly shoot somebody? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she didn't shoot somebody. Oh, she didn't shoot someone. They, her and a man allegedly robbed, I believe it was an elderly woman in the bathroom of a casino. OK. And during the course of the robbery, I think the woman fell and. He hit her over the head. Oh, they hit her over the head? Yeah, yeah. So it was like a robbery inside a casino. And I think she has a history of it. I think her, and I don't know if it was the exact same dude had done it before. Right. And Kawhi don't fuck with her. Right. You don't. That's the problem with this whole family shit. Just because we shared the same last name. Right. Doesn't mean that we ain't cahoots together. I mean, I haven't spoken to you in years. But when you go and do some dirt, all of a sudden, it's Kawhi Leonard's sister. Why is that a story? Like, I just feel like media outlets got to do better in not making that a story. Right. You understand what I'm saying? Like, that shit has nothing to do with Kawhi Leonard. If I'm Kawhi, I'm actually upset about that. Even though it's the truth, why is my name being used? The mother fucking gets you click. So what can we do about that? I have no idea. Somebody's going to report that, though. I mean, if they. Why did I got to say Kawhi Leonard's sister? Because they want you to read the article. And that's whack. Because now all of a sudden. That's the price of celebrity. I mean, that's the price of getting paid $100 million to play basketball. Is it though? Yeah, maybe. Pretty much. Is it? It might be. Do I got to deal with that fuck shit? Yeah. You might. I don't like that shit either, yo. 50 Cent was on Breakfast Club, and he said that he said nobody has sympathy for winners. Yeah. And I understand where he's coming from. But nah. Just because I'm rich, just because I got some celebrity don't mean I got to deal with the fuck shit just because. Like, you're still human at the end of the day. I feel you. But what's it really worth to play basketball? Right? What do you mean, what's it really worth? To play basketball, to play a game of basketball. Like, what's the actual value of that? I mean, what's the value of anything? Nothing. Yeah, so. So the point is. Basketball is no more intrinsically valuable than, than like lifting boxes and putting them on. That's right. So what I'm saying is the reason. You play basketball all the time. Best. Have you ever gotten $2 million? I've never gotten a second to play basketball. Meaning the act of it. Right. It's all made up. Like, we just put the act, like the fact that you get paid millions of dollars to do radio, right? It's like that act is no different than picking up the boxes. It's just more people are interested in you talking than watching some guy put Home Depot boxes on a forklift. Oh, I see what you're saying. No, no, no. But what I'm saying is basketball, the salaries are, it's such a astronomical level now, partially because of celebrity, partially because Kawhi is so well known, partially because when he says what it do, you have to filter this through the fact that Chris hates rich people. Even though he is kind of rich. He is kind of rich, but he hates rich people. And he's got that communist DNA in him where he wants us all to be the same. That's not what he said is not true. And I'm going to tell you why it's not true. Yeah. Being on that basketball court, they not giving you a hundred million dollar contract because you a fucking celebrity. No, you become a celebrity because you're on the basketball court. Yeah, but they paying you because of your talent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they're very famous people that are not getting paid to play basketball. Stephen A Smith said the realest shit. We had him on breast clubs. Stephen A said he has a problem with people becoming celebrities and getting all these endorsement deals just for being celebrity. He was like, what are you doing on the fucking field? He's talking about football players in particular. What are you doing on the field? And he was talking about Odell. Yeah. He's like, what is Odell done? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's like, if it wasn't for that catch against the Cowboys and his hair, we may not be talking about Odell Beckham in that light. So he's getting all these endorsement deals and stuff because he is a celebrity, but your celebrity should be based off your motherfucking skills on that football. Yeah, but he's also had like the most yards and I was like, I think some of the most yards and touchdowns in the first three years of a career of any wide receiver or something like that. Like he's clearly proving he's a little one. He hasn't won shit. But then again, he's a wide receiver. They don't do anything. None of them do. Well, he's still going to ring. None of them will get rings because they want too much money. And by getting too much money, you won't be able to have the other pieces that your team actually needs to get a ring. But it's a look, dude, it's a tricky fucking thing, man. It's like it's just like anything like we put this value like like freedom. I was thinking because I was in Russia last week, right? And like it really put in perspective how much we how much how arrogant we are about this idea of freedom. Like we've completely invented this idea of freedom. Like you deserve to be free. You believe it. You deserve to be free. You believe it. I deserve to be free. I believe that. We just invented freedom. That's an invented idea. Explain, experiment. Someone's just like, hey, once you're born, you deserve to be free to do whatever the fuck you want. And then other people are like, yeah, I think I do. See when I think of freedom, I don't think of that. What do you think of? I think of bondage. I think of being enslaved and you're free. I think of being in jail. Right. And now you're free. Right. Being free to do whatever you want to do. That's anybody can do that. Right. So there's. Historically, yeah, that's what Andrew's saying. Historically, there isn't a precedent for that. I'm speaking of actual bondage. You're talking about slavery. Right. But there's different levels to freedom. Like for example, in certain countries, you're not free to be gay. Right. So that would be a limitation of freedom. Yes. Right. And in certain places in America, you're not free to be black. Right. That'd be. Now you're free to walk around. You're free to be black. But you're not in bondage. But there are repercussions for sometimes being black in the wrong neighborhood, being black in a wrong situation. Right. So like there are there are effects on your freedom, right? And yes, and when you say the freedom, that's the freedom that most people want. Right. They don't want to be oppressed, marginalized, systemically. Exactly. Because you can't really do anything about random acts of racism. Of course not. Of course not. But you're talking about systemic acts. Yes. Right. But here's the crazy thing. We just invented this idea of freedom. You got to explain it. Like, I don't know how. This is your idiot hot take, by the way. So, so it's like, it's like. I know what you're getting at. Yeah. Like explain it. And help me explain it, but like. In the best version of America, when America's held up as this shining example, it's because we demanded freedom from Britain. Yeah. We demanded freedom to own property, to have guns, if you believe that's part of it, to self-determination. That's always been, and that was the principle that the nation was founded of and separated from Britain for. And that's always, in theory, been our biggest accomplishment. Because it's true. Throughout world history, people don't have freedom on all sorts of different levels, whether it's straight up slavery to. Freedom of ideas. Women not being able to drive in Saudi Arabia to you can't have. Freedom of vote. Twitter and China. You can only use. Chinese version of that. Whatever their fake version is. So there are all these different variations of it. Now, the other side of the coin is, that's the principle America was founded on. Are they living up to it? Maybe not. Of course. Freedom work for Native Americans? No. Freedom work for African Americans? No, but the principle is unique. And again, I'm not trying to imply that we all have it. I'm just saying. And if you want to take it back a step further, they would say it's based on democracy, which goes back to ancient Greece, but they had slaves in Greece. But even in little subsidiaries of that, even in America, because say like you're in school, and in school they got rules, they have regulations. We've all left the classroom, but the day was over and you're like, I'm free. You know what I'm saying? Because you're no longer under that rule. Right, so there's different levels of it. You're not free to say whatever you want in class in school, right? No, you can't, but there's consequences. But there's consequences, right? And so I'm in Russia and I was doing this festival out there and it was an amazing experience. It was a truly cool cultural experience. I'm talking to these two comics that are there to do this podcast. And they were talking about this idea of freedom that like is instilled in Americans. And they're like, here's the thing you got to understand. Ever since you're a kid and like forever in your country, you fight for this value of freedom, which is you deserve to be free, right? And not only do you deserve to be free, other countries deserve to be free. And if they're not free, you'll go out there and you'll free them. Is there something in it for us? And then he goes, of course, of course, but I'm just saying like in its best in looking at things in the best possible way, right? And he goes, we've never had this concept of freedom. I go, wait, what do you mean? Cause I thought freedom was ubiquitous, right? I thought every human being believed in freedom. So the Russian is saying he's never had this concept. So they go, for our whole lives, they've been telling us, believe in Russia. The state. Support Russia, help Russia, mother Russia. We are the best, Russia is the best and we will always protect Russia. It's never, in America, it's always freedom. Then America. Right. And anytime America infringes on your freedom, we start to protest. Colin Kaepernick should be able to take a knee. Why? Cause he's free to take a knee. The Constitution says that. Yes, because the value of America is this freedom thing. The individual comes first. The individual comes first. Not this America thing. American is an expression of that freedom thing. And it totally puts it in perspective for me cause I was like, holy shit, I thought this was just how every human believed that they should be able to live and then some places weren't able to live that way. But there are people that grow up without even believing they deserve it. So you're in a country where they'd never had that though. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. But how wild is that that like you and I, you grew up with this idea that you deserve freedom, even though you were being restricted your freedom in many different circumstances because of color of your skin, but even inside you, you were like, but they're wrong for restricting me because I deserve this thing that realistically, we all made up. Yeah, I mean, listen, we, I don't think we made it up. We didn't make it up. We didn't make it up. People wanted freedom, they just haven't had it. Right, right, but like. For everyone wants to be free instinctively. But historically, it just hasn't happened. Well, you're a white male. Yeah, Chris is trans-Asian. Right, so. Speaking of which, Hong Kong is an exact example of what you're talking about, right? Yeah, here we go. That's why they're going so fucking hard because they got a taste of it. Yeah. And they know it's about to go. They got to taste the freedom. And now they see it's about to go away and you got 18, 19 or 20 year old kids who have grown up with iPhones and coach stores. I mean, Hong Kong is an international city. It has everything that New York has and then some. And China's about to shut it down. And China's about to shut it down. Why are you shutting it down? Because it's a threat. It's a threat to what they have. Their freedom is a threat to the control. What does civilization is a threat to their way of life? Well, certainly democracy. Yeah, and I mean, I won't go too in the weeds. They remove all like, like China's way to control their population is to remove all other influences. Like there's a reason they don't have religion out there. Right. And they've actually been like fucking like, not I don't know about exterminating, but like putting Muslims and camps and shit out there. And it's because they want the government to have the only influential factor in people's lives. And religion is such a potent idea and like powerful idea in their lives. It could create separation. It could make- Of course the Caribbean are like that. Like when we used to- The whole world. When we used to first go to Anguilla, they didn't have fire, come on, that shit was blocked. Did I ever tell you all about the time that we tried to watch moonlight in Anguilla? Oh, and you got to knock on the door? What you doing in there? We tried to watch moonlight and it was like, this program is restricted in this region, yada, yada, yada. And I was like, hmm. And so it was me and my wife and it was Van and you know, and I'm like, what other gay movies do y'all know? Let's just, now only what I can think of is Brokeback Mountain. So I look up Brokeback Mountain. This movie is restricted in there. Yes. So then Netflix starts this, you know, recommendation stuff. I mean, you going on a Netflix rabbit hole in gay movies. Jesus Christ, bottomless butthole, right? So he started, so it's like, it's all of these movies in this gay genre. Every single one of them is restricted. Every single one. So it's one of those things where like, were you surprised a little bit? No. Interesting. No. It didn't come to your, it didn't make you go, oh shit, like we live in a place where you can watch any of these things. I've traveled enough. Okay, you had an expectation. Yeah, read enough to know America got it good. Son, it's crazy. And don't get me wrong, I think it's perfect and I know that there's tons of fucked up shit that's happening, but in terms of raw freedom, raw freedom, no place is close. How many times on this podcast? Close. And I might even like update. Canada might be close. Dude, dude, Canada, you get arrested for a tweet. Canada, a comic was sued for $40,000 for a joke he made on stage. That's not freedom of speech. They don't even have freedom of speech in Canada. They have freedom of expression. Because speech can be hateful and speech can be violent or whatever these nonsense things are. I think about all the time we hear about, and that's the other thing you heard for years. These different artists go to these different countries and get arrested for something they did on stage. Yeah, Alex. NWA, back in the day when it was at, they were like in Sacramento somewhere, when it was at they got arrested because the police all said, you can't come on this stage with this rhetoric. So it's like, I always understood that concept. My biggest thing when it comes to freedom, it's not even about the rules somebody may have for their establishment or even for their town or whatever. My biggest problem has always been the rules that are systemic based on my skin color, based on somebody's sexuality, based on somebody's gender, because those are things we can't control. I can go in somebody's establishment and not motherfucking curse. Easy. You know what I'm saying? If you ask me not to curse. You cannot be black. Yeah, so that's a different type of freedom liberation that minorities are seeking. And you should seek it. And what I'm also saying is there are places in the world where they don't even believe they can seek it. The idea isn't even there for them. The idea in, and to be honest, this is why in a lot of ways comedy is so potent and why it's I think taking over the world and that's my prediction stand up is because the joke offers this perfect little cloak, protective cloak for a real idea, right? And if you're from a country that really, you know, censors what people can say, if you say something, but there's a nice little joke around it, you're like, oh, that's not too serious. It's like- Can they take a joke in China? They take a joke in Hong Kong? You gotta see how far you can go with it. You gotta see how far you can go with it. Over there, let those little penis jokes fly over there if you want to, see what happens. Well, I think it would just be regular penis. Let them short jokes fly over there and see what the fuck happens, all right? It's just- Think about that, we have the freedom to make fun of other people from other countries in America. Think about this. You're not going over there with that shit. No. When I was in Russia, I did a Putin joke. That was the first thing that I did and I had a guy translating the joke and I said, I just start the vid, I was like, Putin. And I look at the translator and he looks at me, he's like, you want both of us to get involved in it? Like, I guess, y'all really want this to go down? I'm not, I guess. But it was, there was a little bit of a little pushback and I understand that. But this is what fucking happens, man. And this is what true freedom is, true freedom. Like, think about how free we are. You can call the president, what did Chrissy Teigen call him, a pussy-ass bitch? Nah, nah, listen, let's talk about that. Call him a pussy-ass bitch, bitch-ass pussy. We don't know if that's gonna fly because we don't know how petty our president is, we don't know how petty his administration is and just because they don't do something publicly and overtly, don't mean that they won't do something. We don't know if Chrissy Teigen might get on the next plane and get held up at the motherfucking airport everywhere she go. We don't know. What is her ass-gassy griffin? What is her background? What is Chrissy Teigen's background? She's Asian, like, what kind of Asian? Thai. Not a chance in the world she goes to Thailand and talks about their emperor like that. Not a fucking chance in her and the emperor in Thailand guaranteed 10 times worse than Donald Trump. You know why? The emperor probably fucking cut her head off or cut her hand off or whatever. In a fucking heartbeat. But by the way, that's what Trump wants. Trump wants to be an authoritarian figure in that way. Yes. I don't give a fuck with nobody. Yeah, I mean the danger, I didn't have a problem when people criticized Obama. I didn't agree with it, but like it's important that you can criticize the president. That's a democracy as a bound. I think the danger isn't the Chrissy Teigen stuff, like if you want to look at what's happened recently. Oh, I don't think, yeah. The danger is when he does the storm pattern, changes it, won't admit that he's wrong and then instructs the weather organization to lie on his behalf. That's the real thing. Yeah, but then it turns out that it was going towards Alabama. It was going towards Alabama. But he can't reach out to them and say, this is what you have to say. Right, but CNN came out and said it is going towards Alabama. Is that sort of over? Yeah, he was right. It ain't going to Alabama though. No, I saw the CNN report where it was like we believe it's going to cut across Florida, hit whatever, Tallahassee, these types of things in Alabama. That's it. But the point is, yes, exactly. And that would be fascism where you have that kind of influence over the weather, the fucking weather channel. Right, that's the danger stuff. 100%. He's going that now though. Dude, dude, there's no doubt. There's no doubt. Trump told Fox, I don't fuck with y'all no more. Y'all better straighten the fuck up. He did? All right. I think outside of the environment. Let's not make this a Trump thing. Let's not make this a Trump thing. Why don't you vote for him in 2021? Let's say what? Nothing. So. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'll vote for him in 2024. No, but it ties into your head. He'll still be there. Wait, things are going down. He'll still be there. You saw the thing he posted on Instagram? What? He posted Trump 2024. Bro, I've touched. That she got me a little nervous. I told y'all this already. That she got me a little nervous. I told y'all this a million times. I got a little nervous. Trump is going nowhere. But what Trump got to understand is America's, and this is the thing that, and I don't want this to be about Trump because then it just gets into an argument and let's talk about freedom. That's way more interesting. But what Trump doesn't understand is how much America loves freedom and values freedom. And if you infringe upon that freedom, and part of infringing upon that freedom is the freedom to elect a new president every, at most eight years, no matter what. And a granted yes, FDR had three terms or whatever, sure. But if you infringe upon that freedom, there are Americans that will be crazy enough to make sure that that's what happened. That's what I wanna ask you. They not on the left? The motherfuckers that are crazy enough to do that are on the right. What was the guy that shot up that baseball game? What was he on? What baseball game? He's left. He was on the left. One out of it. He shot up all those senators. What was the guy who shot up the thing in Ohio? Listen, this is my question to you. Here's a scenario. Left got shooters too. They're just risks are we in. We're not talking about shooters. There's a disputed election, right? Yeah. The next election, 2020. Yeah. Trump claims this, the other side claims that. Don't take my fucking talking points that I've been saying on this goddamn podcast. They don't breakfast club for months and nobody wanna listen to me, cause I gotta lift. I've been saying it too. Listen, so here's the scenario. Here's the scenario. Bitch saying this. All right, it's disputed. Trump's like, I'm not going anywhere. I don't wanna talk about Trump guys. Listen. Nah, I'm just giving you a scenario. This is freedom. You're talking about infringing on freedom. This is infringing on freedom. Dude, I'm not talking about shooting. Chris don't need to be free. All right. Go on, go on, go on. By the way, you had another talking point I've said on this podcast. I think you Americans got a little too much freedom but continue Chris. So my question is, if that scenario plays out, will it be Hong Kong? Nah. No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about shooters. Hong Kong is adorable. Like when I look at Hong Kong, they got their little masks on, they got their little laser pointers and it's like, it's a fun little laser tech. You're gonna have a certain contingent of American that are gonna protest this way. No, no, no. Hong Kong is adorable now. Let me finish. It's gonna get stomped out. Let me finish, let me finish. Who's gonna stop it out? China. Those kids are all getting killed. Like they storm an area 51, type cute? Like they know who's who. This is the common. Really? Oh yeah, everybody's going down. What? They're all going down. What? What? China doesn't play this. It's not about China doesn't play this. It's no other country plays this. We live in this weird fucking bubble. How many people China got? Two billions. You think that they can't lose a few hundred thousand? They've lost a few hundred thousand throughout history. Every 50 to a hundred years, they just run through a few hundred thousand just to let everybody know. So let me ask you a question. Why isn't America afraid of China then? Like when it comes to the tariffs and all that shit? We are. No, every time, when I talk to people about it, like China would never. Their survival is dependent on us. It's mutually assured destruction, right? They make shit, we buy shit, so everybody needs to be on the same page. And China historically is not great militarily. They tend to fall apart. But you don't think they would ever attack America? There's no point. The only way they attack America is... Financially. Is if their survival is dependent on it. That's when wars happen. Wars don't happen over ideas. They happen over survival. So when you say they're gonna stop by the Japanese, what do you mean? Not Japanese, it's the Hong Kong. Hong Kong, what do you mean? So Hong Kong is this little island off of China and it had its own rights. I don't know how exactly we could relate it in America. It was a British colony, so it was separate from mainly in China in terms of policy. It was operating under British rules, which are very close to American rules. Democracy, courts, freedom of press, what have you. It was the most westernized place in that part of the world for a long time. Now it's probably Singapore, but Hong Kong was super westernized, right? You don't think so? No freedom in Singapore, man. No, no, meaning westernized in terms of culture. Like you walk around Singapore, you feel like you're in, you know, a Western. It's like... Chugong, they're gonna cane you. So... I mean, that's exaggeration. Chugong in Singapore? No, you can, it's... Oh. But this is, it's a different thing. Hong Kong's the closest to a Western city in Asia. Let's say that, or had been. Boom, done. And China's like, now you're part of China and you're gonna be part of, you know, all of China. And now China's implementing this system where like they're ranking their citizens. So like, based on loyalty to China, so that like everybody gets a ranking. You can be a 10 out of 10 Chinese. The fuck is this episode of Black Mirror? Son, yes. What the fuck? So, but this is what people don't realize. This is what it's gonna be like. This is the world. And when you talk about like, us in America, we value life. Like we're like, oh my God, you know, 10 people stubbed their toe in Florida. We need to fix the street immediately. In Russia, 25 million people died in World War II. Just put that in perspective. 25 million people died in World War II. They don't care these places. People are peep, it means nothing. Dude, they don't mean anything. I don't think we mean nothing here. I think we mean something to each other. I think to the American government, they don't give a shit. But here's the thing. We believe we mean something. The government might be like, ah, they don't really mean anything. But we believe, but when you go to these places, they're very aware. They're very aware that- They're just a number. That the government thinks they're just a number. And it's blatant. It's like when we were in Russia, we went to the KGB building. You know the KGB? That like a secret service agency that would like fuck people up. They don't move and all that shit like that. So the KGB- That's England. That's fucking England now. But like the KGB shit, they had this big, just tall building and the top floor of the KGB shit, there's no windows. You don't notice it when you watch. But then you look at it and this guy pointed me out. He goes, you look at the top floor, is this something weird about that? They go, no, no, what is it? And he goes, you see any windows? I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird. He goes, yeah, cause that's not a floor. That's where they walk prisoners. Thousands of people have been murdered in that very building and it's still operating to today. It's fucking- So when you talk about what we have here and what we're bitching about about gender neutral bathrooms or if this fucking penguin they have a new Monopoly game where it's coming around where like women, when they pass go, they get $240 to make up for the wage gap. This is a real thing. In London right now- You made that up, shut the fuck up. I swear to God in my life, CNN posted it. I swear to God in my life, CNN posted it. I swear, go look that up. I swear to God in my life. Women get 240 when they pass go and listen, today look at a Monopoly, a gender wage gap Monopoly and then in London, there's a gay penguin couple that adopted a little baby penguin and the baby penguin that they're raising, they're raising as gender neutral. They're not saying what gender the- A gay penguin? The gay penguin couple, there are two penguins that are raising a little penguin in the fucking aquarium. Son, this is true. Look, this is what we care about in the West. This is what we're fighting for. They're gay penguins. You know why? No, what you're saying is, yo, I'm gonna tell you why. The fuckers are getting marked out here because they just want some free speech and we're worried about gay penguins. Of course they're gay, they locked up. That's the problem with America, man. What else you going to? You need to find a hole. One of the biggest problems of America and I think one of the reasons is that we can't ever get to that true sense of freedom, that true sense of liberation that so many marginalized communities want is because we focus on the most trivial aspects of every single thing. Meaning like, we focus on the trivial aspects of racism. We focus on the trivial aspects of sexism. We focus on the trivial aspects of somebody being so-called homophobic instead of the systemic aspects of these things. Like there's actually policies and legislations being put in place that we could be motherfucking, you know, raising hell about, but we're not. You understand what I'm saying? Because you can't stop behavior, okay? You'll focus on Trump saying go back to where you came from. Instead of the law that's sending motherfuckers back to see. The law that's sending motherfuckers back to see. Like, I'm serious, it's wild, bro. Have a conversation with her. You know what it's like, this is a perfect example. It's like your girl being like, listen, I'm not sucking your dick. It's like her saying that thing, right? But if every once in awhile she's sucking your dick, who gives a fuck what she says? Do you know what I mean? Like, we're worried about, more worried about the said action than the actual action. You make me sick. Little kid. We still married? We still married. You know what I'm saying? I'm sick. I can't stand you. Can't stand you. But we still married? Yeah. That's all I'm trying to like, just get over to words. These things are gonna happen in your life. You're gonna have people be mean to you. Absolutely. Listen, everybody that's been cut off driving has thought something racist or sexist about the person that cut them off. Every single person in this room. Who gives a fuck? Exactly. Who gives a fuck? As long as there's not a rule that says, Asian and women can't drive. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get to the rule. Now, if there was a rule, that's, and I don't, that was a good one. If there's a rule that says people can't drive, then you fight against that rule. Fight the rule. You know what I'm saying? What are you wasting your time for? Absolutely. We focus too much on trivial shit and words as opposed to actual systemic things that are being implemented to fuck us over. So as long as we're focusing on the trivial bullshit, the systemic shit is just flying. That's just stacking up, stacking up, getting worse and getting worse and getting worse and getting worse. Nothing changes. It's almost like a perfect distraction. Hey, I'll say some weird shit and then get this real off. Is the master. It's a puppet thing. What is it? Magic or whatever. That shit, what was that? That week when he was going at the squad, he was appointing more federal judges. And nobody even noticed. Nobody even fucking noticed. You don't even know it. You know what I'm saying? Got 194 federal judges, you don't even know it. You know what I'm saying? Let's pay some bills. I gotta pee. All right, guys. You know, there's a lot of craziness going on in the world today, but one way that you can take a moment, one way that you can have a meditative time for yourself where you can reflect, and that's a nice White Castle hamburger. Okay, White Castle is America's fast food hamburger chain as well as the slider experts. Nobody in the world produces a better slider. Hands down. Cannot do it. Fast food, I dare you to try. I really dare you. Matter of fact, most places don't even try because they know. And now you can get them same one-of-a-kind tastes when you pick up White Castle sliders from the grocery store. That's right. You can get them at the grocery store made with 100% beef patties on a bed of steamed grilled onions. These have that same one-of-a-kind taste that the White Castle has been serving in their restaurants for years. And whether you're a vegetarian or a meat eater, White Castle sliders accommodate a whole bunch of tasty varieties for just about anyone to enjoy. Feeling a little cheesy? Just try their cheese sliders. Looking to add a little spice to your life? Just have a taste of their jalapeno cheese sliders. One bite and you'll understand what the crave is all about. I don't play around. I love me my White Castle. I'm in there. It's the only place where you want burgers. Right? It's the only place where you go in and order burgers. You're not getting a burger. You're eating burgers because you love them that much. So from the castle or the grocery store, you can satisfy your crave anytime with White Castle.

As we wait for Charlotte to get back on Chris, I wonder if you thought about this at all. Do you think there's a guy who opens for me, does some work with us, Mark Gagnon, always brings up this idea where he goes, how much longer do you think we'll be able to eat meat? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I knew that you thought about this. So, Charlotte, the question is, how much longer do you think we'll be able to eat meat? My buddy, Mark, has a theory that they will make it illegal to consume meat at some point once we have a reasonable replacement like that Beyond Burger type thing. Not America. Cause of that whole freedom thing. Now you're getting it, right? Yeah, they're not gonna have a bad meat. But Chris has a feeling that it will just be more efficient. What is the idea? All right, so I wrote a book about veganism with Russell Simmons. I spent a lot of time studying it. I don't believe that veganism is the ultimate answer. I don't believe that eating a lot of soy is necessarily that much processed soy, specifically. It's not good either. It's not good either. They say vegans that have a higher risk of strokes than meat. Right. It's all a myth, this whole vegan thing. So I'm saying that just to preface what I'm about to say. But having done a ton of research, hours and hours of research, I do not think the amount of meat that humans consume is at all sustainable. We can't keep this up the way we're doing it. If we can't keep doing it and we can create a substitute, at what point if the substitute is more sustainable and equally as delicious and probably cheaper because, listen, to keep a cow alive takes a lot of fucking water. You have this pasture nice, all this land. To keep a fake patty alive is nothing. So if it becomes cheaper, just as good and they can get the health components equal. Never happen. You say it will never happen. The health component will never happen because it's GMO bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It has to be natural. That's shit, they got that KFC. Think about how stupid this sound. Plant-based chicken. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's wrong with us as a people? Like why does that make sense to anybody? Oh, plant-based, how? Chickens are not made out of grass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's impossible. So that's some GMO bullshit. So either way, it's GMO. Beyond burgers and possible burgers, it's all GMO bullshit. You know how much shit they got to put in there for that shit to taste like meat? You know how much shit they got to put in there for that shit to taste like chicken? So you better off just eating the regular shit. Right, but what if we get to a point where the population density is so much that we can't supply it with chicken and meat. And maybe chicken and meat and these types of things are reserved for the super, really, really rich. That's where it's headed. It is kind of where it's headed, right? Chickens should be extremely expensive and you should eat it on rare occasions. Cow should be extremely expensive. Not chickens, because chickens ain't going nowhere. They're not going nowhere. Literally, they can't fly. They are built to be eaten. And really, everybody should be eating more fish anyway. Your body has made it three-fourths of water and we know that the earth has made it three-fourths of water. But they're not very much fish in the sea and the fact to be farming fish. Laying that on the Japanese. Truly, the Japanese are the worst. No, the fish, the oceans have been wildly depopulated of fish. And the factory farming, which is all these salmon in these facilities, that stuff is not good for you, really. Tilapia is not even a real fish, right? That broke my heart. That broke my heart. Tilapia's not even a real fish. That's not even a real fish. Isn't that crazy? Can you break this down? Broccoli's not a real vegetable. Can you break down the tilapia thing? What? Tilapia is what they made tilapia. It's like a hybrid between. Yeah, I forgot. I actually took it off the scale. I wanted to have salmon and a white. But they didn't swim? Yeah, it's a fish. Oh, god, I thought that they were just like. But it's a hybrid. It's a insect. I mean, it's a fish. No, not an insect. I thought that they were just like making the patty and there was no head, no tail. Nah, you're not going to go to the Caribbean and somebody pull a tilapia out the ocean. They'll pull out some mai mai. There's some grouper. They'll pull out some tuna, some grouper. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's a mar. Ain't no, ain't no, uh. It's not a pure breed. It's not a pure breed. It's not a pure breed. It's not a blue nose. By the way, this is why I love going to the islands. When you go to the islands, if they don't have it, they don't have it. They will tell you things aren't in season. Right. Season is the key. We've got to start eating by season. That's it. Yeah, but motherfuckers want avocados in December. You should be able to walk into a supermarket and just be like, I want strawberries. It's not strawberry season. How crazy is this? Like, what kind of work? Like, how fucking fortunate are we that any time of year, if you want guacamole, you get guacamole. Like, any time of year, you want lettuce, you get lettuce. This was seasonal for the vast majority of human existence. And it should go back to that. You didn't get blueberries until fucking October, buddy. If we do that, obesity rates will go down. Absolutely. America will start appreciating these things more. You know what I'm saying? These things will be luxuries. They'll be treats, like those strawberries in whatever time of year. I've been looking forward to getting mangoes in Taiwan all year, all year I've been looking for when I went on my last trip. When I got there, it was a mango season. Oh, well. Amen. Oh, well. I'll try to find you a Mexican on the street. Right. Then it's not the same. You said, I don't think that the oceans, I mean, it's all an ocean. But when you go to those islands, they treat their oceans a little bit different. I don't see them running out of lobster, bro. I don't see them running out of crayfish because they eat them during the season. Like, when I was in Turks and Caicos last weekend, it was lobster season. Every way you, I mean, you jump in a regular car. Hey, you know it's lobster season. Right. At the hotel, hey, it's lobster season. Everything had lobster stuff on the menu. Lobster rolls. Lobster risotto. Everything. Why? Because it was in season. Yeah. And it was like, get it while you can. It's in season. The biggest illusion when it comes to, you know, like luxury food is that lobster is expensive. The lobsters are cockroaches of the sea. Right. They produce. We reproduce like crazy. They actually should have no real value. But since we look at them as really expensive, they've been able to like maintain that shit. Because of red lobster. Because growing up, at least for me, growing up in the country, red lobster was five star dining. That was fine. It was in. You take a girl to red lobsters, so on and popping, yo. That's what drug dealers did. I'm pulling up the red lobster. I didn't know no better. You know what I'm saying? Cheddar cheese biscuits. Taddle. Delicacy to me. You know what I'm saying? So red lobster just made it like some fan ad. This shit fancy, yo. Get your lobster out that tank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When I was lobster, you want that one. I thought they just brought them from the back. Oh, nah, they be in the tank. I mean, I don't know. I've never eaten one out of the tank. I always say it, but I don't know. They actually bring me to one out the tank. Them shit just be in bondage. Them shit just be like, they do. It's S&M. Yeah, they just be tied up in the tank. I'm like, why do you got them tied up in the tank? We went to the Taipei fish market when we were over there. Wild? Wild. On your recommendation to get sushi. Incredible or no? Incredible. But you know, tanks bigger than this room filled with crabs. My daughter's a vegetarian now. She started crying in the middle of the fight. She couldn't handle it? It was insane. Don't take her to the zoo. Shit. But they're not eating the lie. The zoo is just, the zoo is worse. They guess it is, man. To me, the zoo is sad. Yes, the zoo is depressed. The zoo is animal slavery. If I gave a fuck, I'd be protesting that shit. The fish market is genocide. The fish market is straight up genocide. The slavery versus genocide. I don't know which is worse. Why, because you're eating them? Because you pluck the crab right out of the tank and you get the sushi and it's fucking delicious. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Really? Noticeable difference with the tuna or what? I stuck with, I called somebody and they were like, stick with the eel and the crab. That's their thing? That's their thing. That's the absolute freshest out here. Unbelievable. The food couldn't have been that good if your daughter went vegan. She didn't even have it. Wow, she was too triggered by that shit. Yeah, she couldn't handle it. So how'd she eat? What'd you do? Rice. Rice and vegetables the rest of the trip. OK. That's one thing Asians do better than most people. Well, eat rice? Not give a fuck about animals. Yes. What do you mean? They cannot give a fuck about animals. Oh, you ain't never been to the country, huh? Let me tell you something. You ain't never been to South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Georgia. You only need jellyfish out there. Shit, because we eating possums in raccoons. But that's easy. That's raw. That's a tasty delicacy. That's a bad shoulder. That bad shoulder is nothing. Jellyfish, lizard. There's nothing that Chinese people won't eat. Nothing. There's nothing. That's why they'll beat us all. That's why they'll outlive us all. There's nothing they won't eat. What's the life expectancy of a Chinese person? 1,000 years? 1,000, 2,000 years? Yeah. Shut the fuck up. Son, there's nothing they won't eat. They will eat anything. You know how we have like picky eaters? That doesn't exist in China. I had chicken's feet on this last trip. Please, been doing that since a kid, man. Great. Chicken feet? Yes. I'm from South Carolina. Chicken feet. With the delicious. They were talking about eating chicken feet, man. But jellyfish, you're not eating. No, I never had no jellyfish. A lizard just spread like that, like on the cross. You never had that. They will eat that shit. Gator might have been the closest thing I had to eating the lizard. Dude, like a, just a snake. Eat some snake, right? Dude, alligator crocodile? Oh, gator's great. That's like chicken, right? Literally, too similar to chicken, right? Yes, alligator's good. Apparently they breed like crazy because they're lizards, like those crocodile farms or whatever like that. That's what we should be eating. It's kind of rough with the gators, though, man. Why? Because they've been alive so long. So you just feel like a piece of shit eating something that's been alive that long just because you're hungry? I don't know. How many years? 600? I don't know. And you're going to just kill them? I don't feel bad at all. Animals, I don't have that thing with animals. I don't have that connection. Maybe some dogs, they're kind of cute and that kind of stuff. No, dogs are fucked up. I remember the time I seen one of my homeboys shoot a dog in the head because they used to fight pit bulls. Oh, boy. And this pit bull was like off. You know, he didn't, couldn't win no more fights no more. Yeah. And so he just shot him in the head. Now I remember my homeboy saying, man, that boy, he going to have hard luck shooting that dog in the head like that. And yeah, he had a pretty rough life. I don't like that fighting them. I don't like fighting them. A pig is smarter than a dog, though. Yeah, yeah. But you eat ribs every day. You eat pork. You don't eat pork anymore. I never eat pork in 20 plus years. If you care about, if you care about dogs, you can't really eat pig because a pig is definitely smarter, more emotional. Yeah, but a pig isn't as attractive. Like a pig doesn't look cute. Nah, little baby pigs are really cute. By the way, I've never eaten dog on purpose. That's what I'm saying. I need dog. If somebody gave it to you and you ate that shit, you ate that shit, you're like, that shit good as fuck. Dude, I've eaten horse. I've had horse. I've had horse. I've had horse. Easily, yeah, I could eat any animal. I really could eat most animals as long as they were delicious. I'm just saying I don't have the same affinity for these fucking animals. I think it's a big crock of shit. We don't need all these animals. I think that you have cows, chickens, pig, some fish. And I'm not smart enough to speak to this, but most of these animals serve a bigger purpose in this ecosystem other than just eating them. Don't believe it. No, that's the truth. I don't believe it. Cow fart closes the ozone layer. No, no, it opens it. It's bad for those in there. Kill all the cows. I don't want them doing that. Kill all the cows. Cow farts cause more erosion of the ozone layer than all the cars and shit combined. You know why y'all feel that way? This is why y'all feel that way about cows now. The motherfuckers is turning vegan and cause people are drinking almond milk cause they know that cow milk is bad. So now y'all decide to fuck the cows. Bye. See you later. We outta here. Give them to India. They love them. That's God. That's God to them. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's gonna get mighty fucking hot when that ozone layer gone. Talk to God about that. You have to put a hole in the ozone layer. The cows farted into it. But no, remember they stopped talking about it. Chick-fil-A been trying to save us from the jump. They really might be onto it. Maybe Chick-fil-A really does have this close connection to God because they got us eating the Popeye sandwich. They really got us in chicken. Burgers aren't slapping like they used to. Maybe a burger has been popping. When you get some real beef, when you get some real meat like out in the country somewhere then burgers still be slapping. Yeah, but it's not a national craze. Like chicken is having a wave right now, bro. You know what I realized about burgers and chicken and all that shit? I don't like the fixings. Meaning like, I don't like sandwiches and shit. I don't like hamburger buns and all that. I wanna get right to it. Like I don't like that. Sandwiches are on the way up. I don't like them shit. Oh, I don't eat bread. Yeah, see everyone's gonna be doing that. They should. The bread is poison. I don't like the buns, none of that shit. You eat a cardboard. I'm gonna have a sandwich in 10 years. Don't eat the sandwich, don't eat none of that shit. You just eat the fucking meat and have some veggies. That's it. That's how human beings eat things. Now what about when the bread is baked properly? It tastes good. That shit is good. But it's gotta be a delicacy. Most things that taste good are horrible for you. Most things that taste good are horrible for you. Name one thing that tastes good that's not bad for you. Fish, steak, chicken, homemade bread. You know what they gotta put on the fish? You ever eat a fish with nothing on it? Yes. Actually, I did that in Japan. When you go to the Caribbean and they get that shit right out the ocean, they'll be like, yo, the water got salt in it. Throw a little butter on it if you want. Then they fry that motherfucker up and then it's good, but they fry it. Nah, they boil it. And they boil it, they just boil it up, they eat that shit. That shit is amazing. Lobster by itself is regular, bro. That's rags, dude. Lobster by itself, I need some butter on it. Not in the Caribbean, bro. I just had it. I just had it. And the Caribbean, when that shit comes right out there, when they take it right out that trap, ooh, shit, it's just seasoned so well by that water, man. The water is not seasoning anything, dude. Salt in it. No, dude. You don't want fucking lobster to taste like the ocean. When was the last time you took a bite of ocean and enjoyed it? That's when it's the best. Oh yeah, you ever drink salt water by the glass? Yes. That's called drowning. You know what trick me out when I went to church with J. Coles? I didn't know you could open your eyes under water. Wow, dude. I had no idea. I'm talking about without goggles. Wow, dude. I did not know I could do that. What you thought would happen? Because it's just like... What did you really think was gonna happen? Well, we talk about freedom, right? And we talk about just rules and being taught certain things. You just do that when you're under water. If you don't got goggles on, you just like this. Not me. Me neither. Listen, I don't know what made me do that shit. And I was just like, this water is so close, I'm just gonna open my eyes. And I was just like... I jumped back on it. And I was like, I told my wife, I can see under this shit. I'm like, I can see under the fucking water. I'm like, this is years and years of being in these oceans and not knowing I could open my fucking eyes. I've never opened my eyes under water. That's what I'm saying. You've never opened that in water. This is no ocean, no way. All jokes aside, Dwayne, when you jump in the water, do you open your eyes? All the time, without goggles, the ocean. He's Jamaican, bro. He's different. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a water, he's a water black. You're a land black. Taylor, you open your eyes under water? Depends where I'm at. If you're in Philly, you're like, nah, fuck that shit. But if you're in the ocean, ocean, you'll open them up. I just started doing that, actually. Me too. I was scared too. I didn't know you could. I never thought about it. And then my wife was like, it's not like it's chlorine in the water that's going to burn your fucking eye. But I thought the salt water would too. Salt gets you a little bit. Not at all. But you have to understand, you guys have a little paranoia. You still wash your chicken, you know? You still wash your chicken. You're a little bit paranoid about things. So you don't need to be paranoid about it. Y'all talking about not eating chicken? Is that good? So clearly, clearly, if something's wrong with it that we shouldn't eat it, you might need to wash this motherfucker, all right? That's probably why y'all not eating that shit no more. We're eating it. What do you think we wash it with? What's that? What do you think we wash it with? It doesn't matter. It's a waste of time. Nah, you wash it with lemon juice. It's not only a waste of time, it spreads salmonella. Not going to off. Salmonella ain't ever killed nobody. You got stars, Chris. How'd you get stars? Exactly. You know what I'm saying? Like, what does salmonella ain't ever hurt nobody? All this shit we be running from don't hurt you? Salmonella, what the shit in the ass? What's the shit that's spread of E. coli? Please, you need a little bit of that to live. Yo, I'm 100% with you. I think we exaggerate all this shit. Like, just get over it. Just get over it. It's not a big deal. Like, stop caring about so many things, the environment. You don't need to care about that. I don't know about that one. Son, get over it. It's good. We're going to be good. You really care about the environment. Yo, you know what's so crazy about it? Let's face it, Bill, let's talk about that. I want to talk about that for a second.

So if the earth is changing, I think that when you talk about, we worry about things that we shouldn't worry about, I think we might be giving ourselves too much credit for what the earth may naturally be doing. You know what I'm saying? Everybody is saying that when they say global warming is bullshit, the earth has been warmed before, and cold before, way before we had straws, way before we had airplanes, way before we had hummers. It is this human arrogance that we think we can truly affect and change the entire existence of the world. What caused the last ice age? I have no idea. You was in plastic bottles? Wasn't no recycling, dinosaurs weren't recycling, that's what caused it. I'm not saying that we can't affect it a little bit, maybe we are affecting a little bit, but you wanna just, I can't drink out of a fucking plastic straw. You really think your plastic fucking straw is gonna save the ice caps? You are out of your plastic. And by the way, it's an symbolic step. It's making people aware, it's getting people conditioned to start thinking about this thing. I went to Whole Foods the other day, I got an iced coffee, I went to get a straw, there was no fucking straw, I was pissed off. I'm pissed! And then I was like, you know what, fuck it, I can live without the straw, because it's conditioning people to think that way. Those paper straws are so trash. As soon as you take a couple sips out of that shit, that shit just crumbles. That's the worst. Doesn't make it through a whole ice coffee. But my thing is simply this, man, we don't know what the earth is doing and that shit may have nothing to do with us. That's what I'm saying. Or it might. I don't think we're strong enough in the earth. You don't think 300 years of industrialization has had an impact on the environment. To be totally honest with you, I think that human beings are such a small part of what make this earth tick. Like, we're the problem. I believe it. We are so insignificant. Yo, we're so insignificant, bro. We're so insignificant. But it's hard for us to assume we're insignificant. So the people that really think we're affecting the whole world, they have this human arrogance. They're the most arrogant people. They're like, every time you smoke a cigarette, a giant hole opens up in the ozone layer and we're all getting cancer. Really, dawg, from one cigarette? Because I don't think people think about the scale of human consumption. I don't think people think about the scale. The AC is in in this room right now. The AC is on in every room in this fucking country and in China and in India. I mean, yeah, when you take all that stuff together, all these people running AC, all these people having exhausts coming out of their cars, all these people, you can't go anywhere in the world and not order a steak now. They got, you know, like it's the scale that we're doing all this stuff at. Yeah, but we're gonna pay our price for that. I'm not gonna ever be ignorant and say that, you know, human beings may not be the cause for some of this shit, but I do think that the earth is just rebelling and there's nothing we can do about it. I mean, it's not rebelling or this is the natural life cycle of the earth and it refreshes itself every couple billion years. Maybe it's time to get rid of the fucking parasites, which is us. And you know what? Some new parasites will come about and they'll fuck up some shit and then it'll get rid of them. But this has been here a lot longer than us and it will be here a lot longer after us. So why don't we enjoy it while we got it? Well, bugs act like dinosaurs. We can enjoy it. Eat some steak, use your air conditioning, use a plastic straw. I'll tell you one sacrifice I'll make. What is that? Right with electric cars if I can only go 25 miles an hour. I'm okay taking four hours for me to get to Philadelphia. I'm not. You can't live with that? No. Chris, shut up. You guys can't do that? No, that's not what technology is about. Why would I go backwards? Like they created certain things for us to get places faster. You think that oil and gas is the only way that a car could run? You don't think there's any other way to use other technology? No, it's just the most efficient. This is what people don't realize about oil, right? Is there like this much oil right here? You take that much oil. I'm holding up one liter bottle of water. That much oil right here can power a 2,000 pound vehicle for 20 miles. 25 miles. That is an alien-like substance. By the way, I doubt we... You just can't match that power with anything else and that's why we have to replace it. In the second we can match that power with solar or lunar or whatever we get. We'll just use that thing. But until we can match the power, we're not gonna do it. These oil companies are in the business of profit. If they could profit off of sun energy, they would. They just can't yet. Simple as that. The whole Elon Musk electric car shift. They have no reason to. That's the thing. The gas and oil business is booming. Yeah, because nothing else is as efficient. And once it became as efficient, they'll jump into it. The Elon Musk shift takes just as much oil, like the electric cars we use now require just as much oil to power the car. It's the same amount of oil because you plug your car into an electric outlet. Where does that electric outlet get its energy from? It gets it from oil. That's how the fuck you create electricity right now. Now, the preparation for the Elon Musk shift for the Teslas is eventually maybe we could have solar panels that could power the car. Or turbines. Or turbines, whatever it is. So it's basically setting us up for when we do have an oil replacement, which is great. It's a more expensive version of getting rid of the straw. You're conditioning people, you're getting people to think, but that's the least we can do. Sure. But you need to make the car dope for me to jump on board. The only reason people get a Tesla is so that you could drive itself. They don't get a Tesla because they're saving the environment. Yeah, salute to Tesla for that nice publicity stunt they did this week. Well, they had the young man looking like he was asleep at the wheel. And that Tesla was just driving him safely. That shit, come on, man. Dude, I want the one where he's whacking off on the wheel. Alex, of course you think it's real. What? None of this shit is real. I guess she was a publicity stunt for fucking Tesla. What are you talking about? The guy that was driving the car, but he was asleep. He was like... And somebody recorded him. Think about it, Alex. Just all of us. I mean, I know we live in an era of cameras, but just you just randomly caught that guy? Oh, no, no. He's saying that, yeah, he might have been asleep or he might not have been asleep, but it was specifically used by Tesla. I think Tesla might have set it up. I got a friend that I know got a Tesla that drives drunk because he don't got a drive. He gets pissed drunk and then he gets in his Tesla and the Tesla drives that shit home and it's like, ooh. We have a friend named Little Duvall who smokes weed and left the Tesla drive all day long. All day long. He doesn't smoke weed and just drive a regular car. But no, but he does that on purpose. I've seen Duvall take his hat, pull it over his head. And just sleep. And smoke and just be like this, why the car is driving. By the way, those are great commercials for Tesla. Oh, the best. I saw that shit and I was like, why the fuck are you gonna have a Tesla? And if you drive Uber right now, be ready. I can drive to work in the morning? You don't gotta drive to work. Let the car drive me, I can sleep. I can act like I was asleep. Dude, road head and a Tesla? Light words. I don't know what that is. I'm a black man, don't you? I'm a married man. Your wife can do it. Road head. Yo, so that was the next thing I was thinking. What? It's like roadkill. No, I know what it is. For your libido. That's reminiscing about the good old days. So that was the other thing I was thinking, right? So like, you know everybody's like, China's gonna take over, right? There was a time where like Europe, there was a time where... China is taking over. China's gonna take over. There was a time where like the Middle East was in charge. And then there was a time where, you know, Europe was in charge. And now there's a time where America's in charge. And maybe China's time is next, right? China's time is now. Sure, sure. China's buying up all Africa damn near. China's buying up the Caribbean. Like, y'all gotta go outside the world to see what's going on, man. I'm wondering if like, this is a natural progression of like humanity, right? Where it's like, when it's your time to be in charge, you grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, grind your ass off. Like when Europe was in charge, they were working their fucking ass off. They were colonizing the whole world. They were all about that money. How can we make more money? How can we grind? Kind of like what America's doing right now, right? It's like, how can we make more money? How can we grind? And then Europe went through this phase where it seems like right now, where they've kind of fallen into socialism where they're like, you know what? We grinded so hard and we forgot how important life was. And we forgot how important enjoying family is. And like, I think what often happens when you get wealthy and maybe you could speak to this is like, and I've seen the transition even with you. Like you've made a lot of money. You've gotten a lot of success. And then instead of turning into like some like monster that's like flaunting that, you've kind of like turned into yourself. You've invested in your mental health. You've invested in your family. You like, and I think this is what happens culturally to societies too is like, you reach this plateau and then you go, oh shit, I was working all this hard and I was forgetting the most important thing which is family and friends. We're like enjoying life. Yeah, that's why I really take the opinions of, the opinions of people who have money. When they start to do certain things that they don't have to do, I take it more serious. Because money rewards you, money rewards you the luxury of being able to take care of those type of things. Like whether it's your mental health, whether it's your physical health, whether it's other people. You know what I'm saying? Like, you want to empower people around you. You know what I'm saying? You just like, you know, you start getting into philanthropy more just because that is... You find out what life is about. You have the luxury to do that. Yeah, you realize like, how much can you fucking have? But that's why we look at billionaires like they out of their fucking minds. And by the way, not saying they shouldn't have that because they earned it. They earned it. But Jesus Christ. You missed out on life. You missed out on the most important thing of life. Or you might be. Maybe you're doing well. Maybe. But maybe you missed out on most important things. You might tell us about fucking rocket ship head and you'd be like, holy shit. Fuck road head. Fuck road head. Fuck fucking streets. You see her head bouncing. She's on the ship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like, so maybe, the way I'm thinking about this is like, you've noticed the idea of socialism bubbling up in America, right? Bernie comes out. Obviously the squad and all these people who are really embracing this idea of socialism. And maybe that's the natural trajectory. Like maybe that's where we're supposed to go. Maybe America's reach in this point where we've had all this prosperity and we worked our fucking asses off. Americans work really fucking hard. And maybe we're going through this phase where we're like, oh shit, has it worked it? The only way America ever had real socialism is if we talk about freedoms being prohibited and then people don't have the freedom to take advantage of this capitalist society the way they used to. Right. Other than that, this shit's gonna always be a capitalist society. Why? Because the motherfucking goddamn sell t-shirts. We like that. Because motherfucking sell eggs. Like whatever. I'm not talking about like, get rid of capitalism. I think it's always there and I think it's the driving force, right? But like, what I'm saying is maybe they're ha, you maybe when a society ages to a certain point they go through a transition, right? And then they start realizing, oh shit, maybe we gotta take care of each other a little bit more. Oh shit, maybe the right thing to do is I'm shocked we're not there. No, and maybe we won't get there, maybe we will. But I'm not, what I'm saying is I wouldn't be shocked if that's why these social things are bubbling up and that's why socialism exists in Europe and maybe it's our time. Maybe it's our time to embrace it. But I'm gonna tell you something, that shit not gonna change until people in positions of power adopt that mentality. In the words you got these capitalists that are in these positions of power that give a fuck about money, that's what America's gonna give a fuck about. Or until we overthrow them. Because I think that's what often happens. Pussy, that shit ain't happening. Well, here's the thing. The reason it hasn't happened is because the billionaire class has been very good with giving poor people just enough, right? I think the billionaire class basically goes, okay, we need to give them just enough so they don't revolt. We can't give them too much because we want to stay rich. Bro, motherfuckers is really poor out here, bro. Son, they're not poor enough to revolt and they get poor enough to revolt. You know why? We've seen it throughout history. No, you know why? Because they're poor, but you can still feel rich. Exactly. That's what's gonna stop it from happening. Exactly. So what I'm saying is once they can't feel anything, once they don't have the phone or once they don't have the thing that makes them still feel rich, then the revolt happens. And the billionaires manage that. They basically go, okay, guys, we got their foot on their neck a little bit too much. We came up good, but right now, motherfuckers are dying out there. They're getting pissed off and they're really talking to socialism shit. Inject some money into these motherfuckers. But this is what happened a hundred years ago. I mean, you talk about socialism is bubbling now. Socialism's most popular period in America was a hundred years ago. And what happened a hundred years ago? They had to do antitrust. They broke it up. But you had bombings. No, no, but you had riots. What I'm saying is it's a reflection of the time, right? It was, there's these crazy companies that were completely monopolistic. Sure, Vanderbilt, Hearst, all those guys. Rockefeller, all these motherfuckers. And they were spreading the wealth gap so much that the poor were so poor that they were like, yo, we not doing this no more. You can keep us poor, but you're not gonna keep us dead. And I think that's what we're approaching right now. And if the billionaires don't come in and cough up some of that bread, it's gonna be taken no matter what. The difference is the thing that really drove it a hundred years ago were the unions, right? Like if you go back and look at it, the unions were literally had guns and were fighting pitch battles against the companies. Because I want my motherfucking freedom. And you're not gonna take away my freedom, bro. The unions are done. So what's gonna be the organizations that are gonna harness this? Because right now it's just a lot of different people feeling a certain way. It will happen. I think both of y'all are right. But I think that the difference between America. I think we're saying the same thing in a way. Yeah, y'all saying the same thing. This between America and a lot of other places, America has a system for the poor. Meaning like, even if you're poor, you can still get something to eat. It might be the worst shit, but you can still get something to eat. You can still have a place to stay. It might be a shitty ass place, but there's still something there. It's a different type of poor. It's a different type of poor. It's not like rock bottom. If homeless people in America are not re-voting, who is? If homeless people in America aren't re-voting, who is? Akash said this to me. He's like, listen, in my own life, I've had money in terms of his family's, his family's had money, and his family has been dirt poor, right? In debt, zero. And we went to India. I'll never call myself poor. There's a different level of poor. You kill for a spot on a housing project. Absolutely. In a second. Absolutely. So that's what I mean when I say America has a system in place for each poor. And to be honest, like you were saying right there, those unions, they had guns, they had bombs, they were ready to go. And that's why these motherfuckers want to get, on some level, I think, that's why these motherfuckers want to get rid of our guns. They shroud it in a, we got to keep the kids safe, we got to do this. All these billionaires are the same people. They don't even have a political ideology. They just... I disagree with that. Let me just get the point out. I think Buffett does. All these motherfuckers, they got the same shit, right? They just want control. And if they're like, let's get these guns out of here. They know it's easier to implement whatever policy they want when they don't have to deal with you revolting. Like if you really want to put your foot on someone's neck, it's easier to do when they don't got a gun. But if I got a gun, let me tell you where your foot is not gonna go. You know what America respects? Money and violence. Click, click. That's it. That's it. That's it. And those two things go hand in hand. That's it. Money without violence, you're not gonna find violence without money. That's it. You want to make a real change? That's what it's gonna be, baby. And you can do it without guns. No, you can't. Name one time in history changes when they were without guns. There wasn't bad stabbing today in America. Hong Kong. No, what's Hong Kong is America. But look at what's happening in Hong Kong. That's all being done without guns. What are they doing? But they're not doing nothing. They're about to get bodied, bro. They're about to get bodied. I've seen them swag surfing, bro. They're about to get bodied. I've seen them swags. I've seen a massive swag surfing happening at home. That's it. Yeah, multiple people stabbed at a business in Tallahassee, Florida. Six people were taken to a hospital in Tallahassee. Because he's doing on a massive stabbing spree today, like he's in London. It happened at Dyke Industries. Yep. If the school shooting situation doesn't change stuff in this country. Nothing will, bro, we've seen... Chris, Andrew, we've seen the worst of the worst. We've seen 9-11. We've seen these massive school shootings. We've seen the worst of the worst. Bro, America ain't changing. You know what's gonna change America? What's that? God. Yeah. Mother nature. When one of these motherfucking category five touched down somewhere and stayed for, you know, two days and really fucked some shit up. Massive earthquake in L.A. That's the other thing people ain't talking about. Everybody looking at the hurricane seeing how strong they are. Wait until the next massive earthquake happens in L.A. and breaks California apart from motherfucking the United States. We got some real shit that's about to happen in America in the next couple years. You can say Trump is the first step because a lot of people have felt their foot was on their neck and Trump was like, yo, they got their foot on your neck? I could get their foot off your neck and then all these people were like, all right, we'll vote for you. But those might be people who end up revolting because Trump didn't keep promises. That's the revolt class. That's the revolt class and they could absolutely revolt against Trump but as long as he keeps feeding them, they'll keep him at bay but that class right there needs to be served and once they feel, oh, shit, the Republicans didn't serve me. Oh, shit, the Democrats didn't serve me. Wait a minute, none of y'all are doing anything for me? By the way. Oh no, click, click. By the way, that's another example of fascism. Act like you give a fuck about the poor and disenfranchised. Act like you give a fuck about the Lord. That's an example of government. There's every government does that. But no, really fascism, but they do that but then they really cater to the rich motherfuckers. Of course. All these motherfuckers are playing this game, right? That's the thing. Trump just realized who he needs to appeal to. You know what I mean? It's like Democrats right now, all of a sudden every Democrat cares about reparations. Where was that smoke two years ago? Three years ago. Four years ago. Message to all white liberals. Y'all better start giving a fuck about white liberals again cause you see what happened in North Carolina, right? What happened, what happened? They lost it, what was that? Special election. Yeah, but it was for the house seat. Yeah. Something like that. Republicans won that and like, North Carolina's like, what, 80% white? If I'm not mistaken. That's all y'all talking about is reparations. Better give a fuck about white liberals again. Fake caring, by the way. Fake caring, like this is the most hilarious thing. Do you believe in reparations? They're not talking about it as much no more. They go like this, they go, we believe in a conversation about, no, in a conversation to learn about it. If that ain't the most, what is it condescending bullshit? Yeah, that's what HR 40, the HR 40 is the study of reparations. We would like to study reparations to see, what do you need to study? I felt that way. Did black people get fucked over? Y'all need a research committee about that? The research is actually not the fact that black people have been fucked over. How much have they been fucked over and what exactly would that number look like? Which could take motherfucking years. It's all BS at the end of the day. Son, it is lip service to manipulate motherfuckers. But the reason I do like the reparations conversation is because it has to start with acknowledgement and it has to start with accountability. Like we talking about energy and we talking about the things that are going on in the earth and the earth rebelling. Like it starts with that. Like you have to hold yourself accountable. You have to acknowledge what's going on and try to make amends for it. That's all we can do even when it comes to like global warming and all that shit. We know we fucking the earth over. So we gotta acknowledge it. We gotta hold ourselves accountable and try to make amends for it in some way, shape or form. You wanna really fuck over the rich? This is how you fuck over the rich. Don't allow them to keep their money in their, don't allow them to keep their money in their investments without paying tax on it. And don't allow them to take loans against their stocks and investments that are not taxed as well. Because that's how they keep their money. They essentially keep all their money like Warren Buffett doesn't pay anything. He keeps all his money in Berkshire Hathaway. He pays himself a dollar a year. This sweet little goody two shoes guys. Whatever his name is. Buffett keeps all his money in Berkshire Hathaway. When he needs some money, he takes a loan against that. Do you pay taxes on loans? No, you don't. So he doesn't have to pay any fucking taxes this guy. I'm always torn about that because I do want to empower people. I do wanna help people. That's the level playing field. That's left them play ball like us. But listen, those guys, I mean, they hustled, bro. They earned every motherfucking penny they got. Nobody's taking away your money. What we're doing is making you operate on the same level as everyone else. Right? It's if I have to pay taxes on the money I make and I make good money, if I have to pay taxes on that money? You definitely have to pay taxes. No, I agree with that. But they've created a separate economy. Billionaires have created a separate economy where they do not have to pay taxes because they don't technically make money. They keep all their money in their stocks and investments and you don't have to pay money on them. I don't mind the investments thing if it's stuff like the opportunities on legislation and they're investing back into the community. That's different. That's charity. I'm talking about like. If they're doing that, I'm not mad at it. It depends what the investment is. If you got all your money in Apple stock, right? Yeah, yeah. You got all your money in Apple stock, right? It's making money every single year. But you're not paying any taxes on that because, oh, I don't own that or I don't have that. What if I got Apple stock and I buy five million iPhones a year for people and give them out? Give them food. That's charity. Not iPhones. They don't want no fucking food? What makes you think niggas want to eat? This is the Apple. Remember when motherfucking Adam and the God told Adam and he don't touch the Apple? This is the new Apple. Do you realize that? That's the Apple. We can write a whole new script about how this is the new Apple. That's funny. And when the world is done, like I'm talking about when God pressure washes every fucking body, right? And there's nothing left. And then there's just two humans who got to repopulate the earth. And God puts this phone up on a tree. And God says, don't touch it. Don't look at your mention, right? Don't touch that fucking phone, all right? That phone is the devil. Don't touch that phone. Let's see if she can resist that shit when that shit starts buzzing. Let's see. Let's see. Because you know it's gonna be a woman. She's gonna go for it. Champagne Poppy looked at my story. Champagne Poppy is gonna be dead. Champagne Poppy is not gonna be here no more. By the way, that's gonna happen, people. You have to realize that. You're gonna die one day. But eventually, this shit is getting wiped the fuck out. It's only a matter of time. I don't know when. I don't know where. It's only a matter of time. It's the natural course of life, period. So deal with it. We have no choice. Enjoy it while it's here, man. I think we're in the beginning stages of Armageddon. I'm dead serious. And I do think Trump is the catalyst. What is Armageddon? The pressure wash. What does that mean? Just the beginning of the end. I really do feel that way. I feel like it's gonna start with government. I don't think America, I think eventually America is gonna be toppled as the world's greatest nation. But just because you're toppled doesn't mean shit can't be good. It's really good in Europe. America's not going for that. You think we're egotistical? Yeah. You think these fucking motherfuckers that really run this shit are gonna wanna not be number one? Right. It's never happening. They'll never bow down to China. We owe China trillions of dollars and act like we the boss. Fuck that, it's never happening. But we are the boss. Because if I owe you trillions of dollars, right, Charlemagne? But I got a gun and you don't, then I don't know you anything. They got guns though. But they don't got a missile that can reach us. China? Yeah. They don't, Chris? I don't believe that shit. Bro, they make these. And they don't have any. If I'm China, I put all the bombs in these motherfuckers and ship them over. Oh, iPhone 11, we got something for them. Kaboom. Kaboom everywhere. As soon as you log on to Instagram, there's a massive explosion. You be like, what the fuck is going on in America? Explosions happening everywhere. It's all type of way they can fuck us over. That's true. They're just screwed up strategically. We have army bases around the world. If we need to get a pop and we can get a pop and they're trying to get that, they're trying to have influence in these different regions and every time they try to bust in, we start a fucking coup and we don't let it happen. I mean, that's what Venezuela is, right? Why would we start to ask clothing line? What are you talking about? Sometimes you gotta make money. Sometimes you gotta make money. Are they starting a coup? How did we do that? Yeah, for all you guys who are confused right now, T.I. had a clothing line. If you gotta explain it, it wasn't funny. I just, you know, keep it moving. That's the story of our life. Fine, I'll just keep going. It is where it is. We gonna be all right. We gonna be all right. I don't know, bro. You know how I know we gonna be all right, Charlemagne?

I do wanna keep screaming that I am not looking forward to the 2020 election and the reason I'm not looking forward to the 2020 election because I just feel like Democrats are being such pussies and such cowards because they're not addressing the elephant in the room which is our democracy is compromised. And it's like when you talk to people, like I was having a conversation with Mayor Pete when he was on Breakfast Club and Mayor Pete said the same thing that Stacey Abrams said. Even though Stacey Abrams has an initiative called Fair Fight 2020 where she's trying to raise awareness but Mayor Pete said the reason Democrats don't wanna talk about the Russian interference. They don't wanna talk about voter suppression. The reason they don't wanna talk about Mitch McConnell blocking the election security bill is because they don't want to discourage people from voting in 2020. So you would rather lie to the American people and tell them that it's all good when it's not when that is what's really going to discourage them. What's really going to discourage them is them going out again, voting, shit doesn't work out. And now they gotta go back. If you tell them now, like look, the truth to the matter is there was Russian interference. We've seen it in everything from the fucking mother report to the last. Who was the guy that stepped down? Comey? I don't know if it was, no it wasn't Comey. He just stepped down. A security advisor. Was Bolton? It wasn't Bolton. I don't remember his fucking name. He stepped down a few months ago. But he stepped down because he told everybody, look, the Russians are interfering with our elections. And after he said that, he got the fuck out of it. So when I was in Russia, I was asking them like, what is your perspective on like collusion and like Putin and that kind of stuff? And they think it's laughable. I don't know about, listen, I didn't say collusion. See, that's the trick. Right, you're talking about interference. I said there's Russian interference. I didn't say collusion, for all we know, maybe Trump isn't aware. I highly doubt it, but maybe he isn't aware. But when Mitch McConnell does something, like after getting that intel, in the week of that intel, they try to pass an electrocuted bill and he blocks it, that don't tell. That don't raise no red flags for nobody. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look, I'm not denying it. I'm going to raise no red flags for nobody? I'm not denying it. I'm just saying what the people that I spoke to there basically said. And they had no pony in the race, if you will. They were just like, yeah, we don't think that's even, it's just not even like, and these are not people who are like pro or anti-Putin. They're just like, no, it's just, of course not. I just don't like when Democrats say we don't want to talk about it. We don't want to say anything about it cause we don't want to discourage people from voting. They're saying that? Go listen to some breakfast club interviews. When I go on CNN, I say the same thing over and over for a reason. It's cowardly. You're actually admitting defeat. Man Pete was like, well, we got a win in the landslide. All of them are saying that. It's not happening. You're not beating Donald Trump in the landslide. When is the last presidential election that's been a landslide? When I said that to Man Pete, Man Pete goes, oh, you know, 8%, 10% could be considered a landslide. No, that's not, it's not happening in 2020. So unless they pass some type of election security, this shit is a wrap! So I got invited to like a kind of dinner that, I don't know how I got invited, but they basically brought a lot of people in politics, political operatives, together and people in podcasting. And it was a guy who had made a lot of money in podcasting and he was trying to use his money towards working for that, towards trying to figure out voter suppression and voting rights and everything. And it was like this long open conversation, a lot of smart people. And basically like the takeaway from it was, it's a difficult thing to fix and address because ultimately it's a local issue, right? Like it's a hard thing to fix on a national level because it all has to do with the voting practices, not even in the states, like in the counties or the, and like you have to, and it's hard to, even if you were able to raise the money and Stacey Abrams was supposed to be on the board of this guy's organization and maybe she's doing her own thing now. You got something called Fair Fight 2020. You got to start paying attention to local stuff. Like you got to really pay attention to like who's on your board of elections? Who's your city councilman? Who's, because that's what it comes down to. It's not all coming from a federal or even state level. It's all on the local level. I don't know if I believe, I agree with you, but I don't know if I totally believe it's not coming from a federal level either. Well, I think some of the energy, they don't want no paper ballots in certain places. Oh, I think the energy is coming, but the actual laws that are putting in a place. Are local. I think as long as they can control shit digitally, we fucked. Yeah, I mean, it's gonna be like a scary election. There is no election. Trump is here until 2000 and he dies. All right, 2000, he died when Trump leaves. Who are obsessed with the fact that he has dementia and he's starting to fall apart and he won't make it to 2020. I don't really see it, but. Look, who knows? Who knows, who knows? But yeah, I mean, we will see what happens. Put it that way. All right, I think we're done here, guys. Almost two hours. Damn, we did it, baby. Anything else? No, I think it's good, man. Okay, guys, 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.
