Don't matter Meaning like no matter what you do is just like you just like you're always tired Always and like tired from not doing anything like the reason I was on the west coast because I'm filming this movie, right?

It can use the fucking man. Wow Paying attention Salute to Kenya. Yeah, mother fucker you Salute to Kenya Barrett. Can you pay the tension to what's going on in our world man? Shout to Weezy, too, man. Weezy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so um, but um, yeah, that movie shit ain't for me dog. Herb and wheat. Yeah Like you there for 12 hours and you might be doing like 20 minutes of stuff total in the 12 hours You got to do it those shows. No, no, I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'll never do it again Cuz that's I mean that's it's gonna happen for you. Yeah, you know what I'm saying like yo, there hasn't been a cool Young girl white comic from New York since Adam Sandler, bro. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, I hear that this your lane Bro, you got to do it put this way. I love I like what it's a I love like what Kenya's doing what like the writers are doing like and and the Director of photography like being involved in every scene even if you're not in the scene But like caring about every scene that shit's dope. I could do that because you're making a masterpiece and you get to work with all these talented people but like Just doing the side stuff like taking off two weeks from doing this like we're busy motherfuckers Word up And it go from like running a hundred miles per hour like how we do to run at zero miles per hour that and I've been waiting to Yeah, like I was like Can you at least tell us what was in the scene with you? I didn't see what Eddie bombed my ass off Not even getting nervous, bro No It's like nobody's supposed to laugh because everybody's in it, right? But like Ken you can use this dope He like keeps throwing me like lines and scenes I don't even got lines in you know and there was a scene with Eddie and that he was right there And I had a line and I didn't really know how to make it work. That's on me and I just got to be better at it, you know and I knew it was kind of clunky, you know, I mean and I and I didn't I do it over. Yeah, I did that First time I do with Eddie I say the line let's say the line is so let's go to the park then let's say that right I go, so let's go to the park and and he just goes and just goes. Yeah Maybe he forgot his line. No, no, no, no, no, no, there was just nothing there He wasn't supposed to react. Oh So maybe it's because you've been on stage doing stand-up for so long, you know We doing the podcast. It was always used to reaction. So maybe that's actually, you know, it's interesting is like I Did do something that was kind of fun I like got to like just give a speech at the rehearsal dinner of the of the wedding and That was fun and can you just came up like yeah Just you know like riff something do whatever you want and that was fun But I'm speaking in front of like a handful of people and the people on set This is literally what I do for a living Thousands of people I haven't been that nervous to talk in front of people Since I started coming Wow, like and I'm looking at the situation like why the fuck am I nervous? I do this every single week like literally at next day I'm gonna go perform for 3,500 people in San Francisco twice. Yeah wasn't nervous. It's a good feeling though, man It was I'm gonna tell you why the good feeling cuz like It's humbling but also like that's where you get your growth in those uncomfortable moments Like you don't feel something about something something wrong. Yeah. Yeah. I want to feel that like okay, and it's Maybe I'm just sticking the head I love having to do the breathing exercises and give me 10 minutes to meditate before it's time for me to like pop out Yeah, do my thing. I enjoy that. Yeah, I love it. No, it's dope, man There was some funny shit, man, you know Mike Epps is in it. He's the man Mike's episode so goddamn funny, bro. Mike is hilarious. Mike Epps thought you know Elaine from Seinfeld, Julia, Louis, Dreyfus He thought that she was a Tina Fey No She didn't hit him with the all-white woman don't look alike. I wish that'd have been amazing She was professional like I don't think I've worked in them in a while. Oh, that's dope. I'm happy for you, man so anyway, it's cool great opportunity can use the man and But it is one of those things like acting is way different, bro Like comedy is being funny intentionally. Yeah, and acting is being funny unintentionally like well, you know acting is trusting the writers, right? that's also true like That's nothing like there's certain dudes who was taking like liberties with the lines But there's part of me is like yo motherfucker like worked on these lines for a while I don't want to just come in here. I'm a little partner's movie and disrespect it So, you know, there was do you have to be a good liar say again? You gotta be a good lie Yeah, yeah, yeah But like if you notice like when you laugh in movies like the character is not trying to be funny the character is being sincere Yeah, right? It's funny because he believes Comedy that's completely different than stand-up stand-up is going I feel this way. Yeah, and this shit is funny Yeah, yeah, and like trying to do that in the movie doesn't exactly I Don't know doesn't exactly correlate, you know, it shouldn't though say what it shouldn't I know some people we know some people who you know are comedians and like I Even had to explain to these people like bro. You're not there to be you you're playing a role. Yeah Don't need you to put any sauce on this like what happened didn't get he was on there and it kicked him Oh You do stuff like you know, you got the script in your hand you be like What I realize that the professionals do is they get it right once How it's scripted. Yeah. Yeah, and then they start playing. Yeah, right? But they get it down once and then they'll throw in a little thing and throw in a little thing And then what happens is this is like if you throw in a little thing and it works. Yeah, the director would be like, oh, yeah We kind of like that. Yeah, but now you're not disrespecting what was written You know, but I think people need to remember when it comes to acting people see things in you that you don't see in yourself So I have you here because you're Andrew Schultz But I also have you here because Andrew Schultz can play this role. Yeah, when I wrote this character Oh, Andrew Schultz type comes in my mind. So let me reach out to Andrew Schultz. Yeah And that's fine. Yeah, I mean, you're not here to be Andrew Schultz. You're just here to be an Andrew I envision Andrew in this role. Go play the role. Yeah, it's acting, bro. Yeah Yeah, I'm playing a Jewish dude. Yeah, I got the Jewish star busted down, bro. Really? Oh, so they're gonna jump on you. What do you mean? You know how the internet is. I'm trans Jewish They know they did the same way they did a man to sales with the a k asia. Wow Oh Well, what if I convert but you acting though you lying so they know you lying it's Andrew Schultz even Jewish That's true. That's wow. That's a good point. Anyway, I hate the internet. Um, let's get into some shit, man. Uh Travis gate, man Astral world whose fault is it? Wow What are your thoughts on it? It's that's the question. It sucks. It's horrible. It sucks. It sucks It's a shitty situation and it's so easy to just blame him Because like the more you kind of read about things it seems like the concert didn't exactly stop But then there's moments where it looks like he's uh, you know looking out for people and caring about them But I think what you got to realize is that If you're performing in these massive concert venues like you're used to seeing people pass out Uh, yeah People on drugs people on XC people on mushrooms like they're in the position where they could pass the fuck out Especially at festivals. Yes These people have been outside in the heat all fucking day. They've been doing drugs drinking So it's not the craziest thing to see them do it if anybody should be held responsible It's the organizers that let this many people in Or the safety protocol that did exactly that didn't block off Like I think they breached a gate. It's like yo, you didn't have enough security Like you're getting paid. Yeah, so that you secure the venues so that not too many people come in You're not overselling this thing so that this exact thing doesn't happen. It's not Necessarily Travis's fault for being on stage and motherfuckers wanting to see him. Yeah called astral world like They do that to him every time they see him. Anyway, they always burn rush everything. Oh, he's a razor I mean, that's what he's you know, his his his fans are called ragers, right? I don't know That's what I heard so like, you know, that's the type of stuff that You know, he encourages at his concerts. He didn't at this particular show, but he has before But I agree wholeheartedly with you like that was so often. I'm old, right? So I've seen these things ever so often I remember I think pearl jam. I think it might have been the early 2000s when eight people died at a pearl jam concert You know, I remember things like, um I've read about like the who concert where like That's a terror attack. Not so yeah, not Ariana Grande at Taylor. Jesus. Now. I gotta look at my Let me look at my list. You might ever die. Michael Jackson's um, I know people always pass out on his. Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure people died concerts all the time. Oh, see. Yeah, CNN posted this. This was a good one, right? They talk about how astral world has joined the list of concert tragedies, right? David Cassidy at white city stadium in 1974 700 people were injured Um, when it was just a crowd surge the same thing that happened here It was a crowd surge at a concert uh at white city stadium in london This was wow john davidson at the supper club. Uh, there was a sizable crowd at the supper club a fire broke out 165 people died 165 people because everybody rushed to exit at the same time the who at Cincinnati's riverfront coliseum in 1979 11 people died after a crowd surge Of those attempting to get into the concert by the who same thing people got trampled people got killed Um pearl jam this one. I was talking about eight people died of suffocation And a night person died at the hospital days later at a pearl jam performance at the denmark's Rock slide festival back in 2000. That's where the trouble started in the mosh pit Uh, the station nightclub fire in 2003 100 people died During a concert by a band called the great white Enrolled island because like some pyro techniques went off and it caused the fire and the combination of flames smoking the crowd Trying to get out, you know, call people to die. This was wild uh 21 people died at a techno music festival in 2010 21 people died because of a stampede with more than 500 people in injured a ghost ship fire in 2016 an underground electric music party 36 people Killed because of a fire that you know trapped people in attendance. So my point with all of that is I've never seen a situation where the artist Is getting the blame like travis scott is now travis was on stage And he was inciting a riot and he was telling people push and fight and tear down the barricades and all of this other stuff Totally would understand you booked though I didn't see that in this situation. I didn't I didn't see that in this situation I mean it looked like He could be a little bit more sympathetic to like what was going on in the crowd But again, like you're not used to people dying at your show. So you're not even thinking that could be a possibility I don't even know they're dying Say what you don't even know they're dying like how many times is he done after there was like an ambulance coming through and You know medics are on site at these festivals Yeah, I think ambulance is a little different, but never like the ambulance truck is always at these festivals I think that the the reason they're pushing the blame on him is because of like his branding is the mob derager Right and like not even like like wherever he goes He makes sure people know that There are people that want to see him like so if people are running up and jumping on to a mcdonald's He's posting now on the instagram or he's showing that right if people if he shows up to like a In event in paris fashion week and the mob rushes him He's showing that and saying that's what exactly that's what you know about him So like and that's good marketing because it makes you feel like man, this guy must be really popular People are willing to like chase after him. Yeah, so he understands the marketing that and then what happens is when you reward something People do it So I think people are going well you told people to rush you you said that's what your fans do And then they did it and then people ended up dying now. I don't think that that's his fault I don't think that that's his fault at all Unless he was on stage encouraging it If he was on stage encouraging in that moment, yeah, but I get what you're saying You know prior he might have been doing stuff like that But guess what if you're the venue of astral world, you should know you gotta protect this Yeah You should know they see how many videos down I'm just saying like I think people are worried right now about Like travis's future shows a little bit. They're like will people come out the future shows This is only no this is only gonna help Yes, this they're coming. Oh, yeah. Yes. This is I know this sounds fucked up. This is The best marketing for an artist ever this sounds fucked up, but I'm being serious. Yeah, what kid right now We're talking about teenagers. What kid don't want to come to the show that motherfuckers are willing to die to be I think you're wrong on that one. No No, I think you're wrong It's a real good weed if I see somebody pass I might want to hit that you want to hit it You see some weak shit like I don't feel nothing at all. Yeah Do I think this is going to stop people from coming to travis shows? No. Do I think this is good marketing? Absolutely not That's the last thing you want is eight people dying at your show the nine people The more people are gonna want to see these shows they're gonna want to experience it for themselves Like people are drawn to danger people are drawn to the things that excite them and like you have an artist who is Right now So admired so beloved that people are willing to trample over other human beings just to get close to him That's not new though shots Not not to your point that happens, but I'm not new no People get trampled at these shows all the time Jackson I mean the last one you were talking about was david cassidy. I don't even know No, no, no, no, but that's because there were deaths involved But these things happen at these shows and people don't die people get pushed down People get knocked over people get walked on like jay-z live. I never seen a single person running Football games they always That's what I'm saying like I grew up on crunk music, bro. So what people And I'll give you buck little john Three six mafia in the stage for three six mafia. They're not rushing the stage. No worse What they three six mafia say I bet you won't hit a motherfucker It's a reason teta club up was on cnn back in the day and they was like banned this shit from night clubs But those are calling commands You know what I mean? Like you're asking somebody to do a specific action one of my boys got They broke both his legs. Oh Yeah, how it got trampled in the club That shit happens. I mean, it's not like it doesn't happen. Like, you know, that's all I like Yes, the deaths are like super super duper tragic, but fights happen at these shows all the time People get pushed down and trampled at these shows all the time People pass out from dehydration and exhaust and people overdose at these shows all the time. It's the death That's what that which sets everything off But I just have never personally seen An artist get crucified so quickly like this shit just happened this weekend and they already took them off fortnight They got a petition for him not to perform at Coachella I'm like, oh, wow. I didn't know he was getting canceled for this. That's my point. Like why that's what I'm missing Like what am I missing? Oh, I didn't know he was getting canceled. I'm so removed guys. I'm a movie star. I don't I don't think about What even even even this statement, right? It says houston police won travis cut off this whole movie It says houston police won travis before event That headline is very misleading because when you read the whole article the sheriff says, yes He won travis about, you know, just the the validity of the crowd, you know what I mean But but he said that it was a very respectful meeting and travis's team and everybody, you know What did it say? Where were the police when they stormed the barricade? That's my point if you talk to travis beforehand and you tell travis you have concerns Then guess what up security or whatever the hell you know what you're doing They're looking out for themselves You saw how much they were pushing that narrative of the dude walking around stabbing people with the That's like why are you pushing that narrative? You're pushing that narrative because you want to remove culpability from you You should have organized the event better and by you I mean the police or whoever the sanctioning body is to organize these large events Like you got to make sure that you are prepared for this shit. Yeah, and look at this, right read read the statement You visit the artist in his trailer Right before his show on friday, so he's already there And you got concerns about the energy in the crowd Right, so what is he supposed to do? Exactly, what is stop the we'll stop the show Like I don't get it And then it says the energy I've been building from monks among fans who were drawn to see scott Yo, you've seen after a world before this is not you know, travis scott's first role. Yeah, I was unprepared You know what I mean, it was unprepared and you got 50,000 people there I don't even know when you have 50,000 people how much security do you need? I don't know but there's probably some number where it's like Yeah, but yo, but here's the fucked up thing is like How much How much responsibility can artists have like the artist got to Pick the people who's going to perform with pick the songs you're going to perform Worry about what show he's going to do the artist isn't supposed to be walking around the fucking venue making sure that there's a Certain amount of security guards in this area a certain amount of security is this area There's not too many people let in over here at a certain point in time you have to delegate that responsibility That's right. And it's like he's delegating the responsibility be it to the hueson police department or whatever the venue staff is And if they're not coming up, they got to be held responsible not the artist And that's my thing too is like if you're travis scott That's the other thing people that say things like he should have stopped the show He didn't he you know if he saw what was going on Bro, have you ever looked out at looked out of out at a crowd of 50,000 people You're not much 50,000 people is hella. Well, I do the fact that he spotted one person Like Do you know how much What I'm supposed to see what's going on in the back yo, nah And by the way, I'm I'm I'm shocked that he saw When he stopped the show, you know and asked him to help somebody I'm shocked. He saw that person Yeah, who do you think? Yeah, how do you think he noticed it? I have no idea. I also think that we have to stop projecting our hate of celebrities On to these issues. We don't hate them. Y'all. We're just jealous But that's hate to me jealousy envy hate all of it is the same thing So it's like people that are harping on this situation You never like Travis because there's no way you can't take a step back and objectively look at this Yeah, because if that was drake What you was it was drake. They suing his ass to the drake getting sued too. You wouldn't be on it like this You just wouldn't And because of the type of music drake makes you'd be like, why are you rushing to barricade at a drake show? Yeah, that's a good point. You know what I mean? Like that would be your mindset Like what do you rush it when Marvin's room was playing like? Yeah Seriously, but the but also I think drake has this like different connectivity with his fans Like I think people love travis, but they view travis is almost like a rock star And then I think that they view drake as like a podcaster Because like drake is so like open and emotional in the music that like you feel like you really know about him You feel like you know about his relationships what he's going through what his team is going through etc like travis scott is I don't know nothing about this guy. You know what I mean? I know he dressed up in for halloween and I know that he got kylie pregnant twice But like I don't know like two kids. Yeah, I don't know his interpersonal feelings at all. Like what do you know? I just know he's a superstar. It's lit. Yeah, that's what I know Right. He's a rock star. He's a superstar who indulge who corporations love because he has mad endorsements Yeah, no no no 100 and he deserves his success. I'm not saying he doesn't what I'm saying is like You're more willing to forgive your friend and I feel like people View like drake almost as their friend like they know he's like emotional baggage Whereas a rock star. You're like man, that'd be awesome. I'd love to live that life with you, but If you get fucked up, I'm okay with that because I got no real connection Yeah, and I mean, you know, yeah, and I mean listen I get everybody's point who said like, you know travis encourages this Yo, a lot of these artists encouraged this I look at somebody's festivals. I see people wild and turn up You know what I mean? It just so happened that this one got a little too turnt A little too turnt to where people died and that's sad and that's tragic crazy, man You want to see people jumping around like Merlin Manson and all I'm like, what type of fucking crowds they have Everybody and what I don't want this to turn into is an indictment of hip-hop as a whole You know what I mean? I don't want to do you think it's going there Feels like that a little bit It feels like that like when I see the sheriff say things like which is wild because Even though Travis Scott is a hip-hop artist, Travis Scott has one of the most diverse fan bases ever And by diverse white white, you know what I mean asians So I just feel like and a lot of these festivals are driven by the hip-hop artists Like they're the ones headlining it like like Kendrick's headlining. I think yeah, but I don't think there's an indictment on Hip-hop because I know that there's all these like, you know, mashing and like Rock concerts like even a lot of like the mosh pit the thing you see in like Playboy Cardi concerts And you're seeing and I guess some of Travis's stuff is yeah, that's some rock and roll So when stuff like that happens at rock and roll because I don't ever I wasn't well I was old enough to remember. Maybe I wasn't paying attention. I don't remember pro jam getting Neil do I just remember beef would take a master Yeah, I don't remember. I don't remember people pulling them from shitting saying they didn't want them to perform I remember they said they didn't want to perform for a while, which makes sense You know, that's an emotionally draining thing you perform the concert and all these people died at your concert That's not what you do this for but yeah, I don't know man. I just want us all to like Take a beat sometime and just sit back and look at things objectively people on immediate justice, man Word is born. Yeah, I don't want to take a second to figure it out Why is he off fortnight? Yeah, why a game that actually has fighting on it and killings and everything else Why are you removing him from fortnight? Yeah What does that do? Yeah punish him Does he make money off being on fortnight? I'm sure he does. Come on gaming but like he has like a I know when he did that concert like people showed up to the concert and stuff like that Yeah, they probably gave him like a fee or whatever do the concert. I don't know. I just think that those are those like I don't know the the the proper term but like uh like those fake punishments You know what I mean like You're on fortnight. It's like it ain't even about punishing him. It's about like making you look good Like if your homie does something fucked up you disavow Even I saw the uh The statement. I think it was the what was festival. He's performing at day and night or something like that I saw them put out a statement and they read the statement like, you know Travis Scott won't be re-performing at our our concert Um the safety of our people is first and formal But listen, they worded the statement like they're the ones who told travis not to perform Travis already said he wasn't going to perform at day and night. He said he was too emotionally discredited So it's like why wasn't the day and night festival alex? I'm not sure. It was one of the festivals Let's make sure we get the festival right that's fucked up. That's like, uh, you didn't break up with me I broke over you Hating ass girls. That's it. Let me make sure I want to be accurate Because you know that makes sense man. Fuck accuracy, bro. No, you got to be accurate. No day and night is fine We're not Kanye West, bro. We don't have the luxury of not being accurate. Yo Kanye was on one, huh? You have to be consistent. Is that it? Can you say no, not yet day and night Yeah, day and night Vegas festival. Can you say who uh cut Kanye's hair who Kanye said cut his hair because I can't say it But it's one of the funniest things about it. Yeah, son. It's I see I see I see the picture of somebody I thought he said he cut it. Now. He said his barber was edward Scissor. No. No. He's no. He said that's his name. What is it? He said that's his name for him Oh, what is it? His name is Edward nigga hands. Yo, that is one of the funniest things I've ever heard of my life. Listen Kanye West is he was on one top three most Entertain me bro. Where was this? All the time. What do you mean? I don't know. I miss this Kanye. This is always been this We have Joe funny. Nah, bro. No, you're looking at it through a different lens now Talk to me. You're not looking at it through the lens of this is the most genius person I've ever met in my life. You're appreciating Kanye for just the entertainment value now. Yes That's what it is. I'm trying to think who else is like this someone you just it's Trump Like you just got to let him go and enjoy. Yeah, the only difference between Trump is Trump was president But other than that, I always said if Trump wasn't president, he'd be the funniest man in the world Yeah, you die laughing at Trump. Yes, and Kanye's the same way. He's just entertaining like Kanye's his whole go. What did you think of the drink champs interview? I just first of all Shouts of drink champs Nori DJ EFN my guys. I love their enthusiasm I was saying this on on flagrant the other day like I think a lot of people Especially in hip-hop have seen your success and they've tried to like model their interviewing style off of you, right? Yeah And speak on it more No, no, no, you're right. I mean I can't say these things. Okay, let me give you some flowers, bro I can't say these things. I gotta shut they tell me shut the fuck up be humble. Okay. Let me let me talk Let me talk for you. So like You at times can have like a confrontational especially earlier confrontational even combative But it's it's kind of like who you are There's a part of you that is that and it creates this really interesting tension and release and there's these funny moments And it's in his masterful. It's great. It's great. So other people are trying to do it And I feel like they're they're going I just need a gotcha question. That's all I just need whatever, right? It's not authentic, right? And I do think that it comes from an authentic place with you And I think that that's why it worked And I think there's also times in those interviews where people like start slamming you and you're not actually fighting back Happened with me this week at dr. Sign with Sanjay Gupta. Yeah, it's like I just got questions. Yeah, you know what I mean? Motherfuckers mad at me like it's funny, though Because you got some people mad at me like you like why are you pressing them so hard? Yeah, why you don't do that to this person or that person? It's like Maybe I don't give a fuck about The issue like that. This is something I care about so I'm asking questions Yeah, so so like that nature I think was really entertaining and we just enjoy it And I see people kind of copy it, but it comes off in authentic It seems like they're just trying to catch a lick. They're like, oh if I ask this fucked up question That's going to go viral. They call it a hard question of exactly what it is a hard question Say what was the hard question exactly like they're just trying to find something. Okay What I liked about the drink champs guys is it's one they're not trying to copy Charlemagne They're actually Doing the opposite the opposite. They're like really like enthusiastic and excited celebration Yeah, it's a celebration But they'll still find ways to ask troubling stuff But they ask it almost in a way that you ask your boy. You're like I gotta have a conversation. Yo, I gotta ask you what's good with this, right? And people know that because if you I think that I don't know nori That's no, you know nori and drink champs have been around for like seven years Now, it's authentic. You're gonna go in there. You're gonna drink that work. No big deal though Black effect. I already podcast I love nori me and nori been doing business for a long time people don't even realize and the reason I love nori Like when I was home unemployed Um back in like 2010 living with my mom Nori hit me up the whole he had a mixtape coming out called super thug Yeah, and I remember him tweeting like y'all've always, you know, I mean been ahead of the curve You know when it comes to talent, I'm paraphrasing. He was like, I've always been ahead of the curve when it comes to talent That's why back in the day I didn't want to do a song with juvenile. No disrespect. I want to do a song with lil wane And he was like, so that's why I'm getting charlemagne to host my mixtape He said this on twitter I was trying to actually find that tweet the other day because when you home living Living at home with your mom means a lot catching unemployment checks. You're like, damn like this dude sees me, right? And that's nori Yeah, that's no ie like I don't got nori the hip hop legend to me I think a lot of younger people listening right now don't realize how massive nori was There was a time where what was the song? What what what what that whole first out before that cnn Component nori Yeah, we was in my man. Jarrell house. That wasn't regional. That wasn't a new york thing Like we know who massive they were in new york. It was in monks corner. God bless the dead my man. Jarrell gardenette international a risler. We used to call uh The place queens bridge Like we used to call sleuthing miss jimmy's we used to call miss jimmy's too We was in there listening to mobd CNN All of those guys in nature. I don't even know if nature was from queens, but anybody that was in that circle Nas We was listening to him. So we was all over CNN back then Nore solo album. So whenever I see nori, that's the kind of reverence I have for him Like yo, he was a part of my childhood. Yeah, it was wild when you think we was like close to the same age He's only a couple years older than me. You know what I mean? But it's like I've always had that reverence for door but So him saying that those years ago and then us going on to like me executive producing The tv show he had on the run eating to you know partner and you know what him to do to be on the black effect, you know podcast network like me and nori do a lot of Great business together and we'll continue to do great business. Yeah, he's a he's a great human So I love just success. What did you think about the interview though? Oh, it was highly entertaining, but it's just like kanye has the luxury of being One of the most inconsistent individuals on the planet and nobody gives a fuck they didn't call it Why do you think that is? I don't know van said that to me van told me that when we was talking about it this weekend van was like I've told you this before which he has You have a problem with consistency The meaning because I strive to be consistent. Yeah, and if I'm not consistent I got to tell you why I don't feel this way anymore Kanye will start off an interview which he did on drink chance talking about You know How how bad, you know capitalism is and you know, um Classism we got to get rid of classism and this and that but then an hour later I text everybody in this group chat and told them i'm the richest person in this group chat Yeah You keep referencing that you're worth nine billion dollars over and over and over But yet you're telling people not to get caught up in capitalism. You're telling people, you know How did he start the interview of classism? That's all he said. You can't play my game. Yes But but my thing you're telling people not to get caught up in classism, but all you do is name drop people in of this Elite status and nobody gives a fuck. You know what I think that like we often harp on We harp on a consistency When the reality is people harp on entertainment. That's all it is people want to be entertained Don't matter what you say. Don't matter as long as it's funny or interesting and here we are fighting to the nail To be consistent and say the right thing Why just say the funniest thing. Why it gets you out of trouble and everything. What did what did he do? He said big Sean. What did he say signing him big Sean was the biggest Was the worst mistake of my life yet you owe big Sean like millions of dollars, but there's been worse mistakes, right? Yeah But it's like, why are you saying that about that man? Like if he was your worst mistake, give him back all the money that you made from him Yeah, yeah, because you say big Sean says you owe him money, which I think was a deflection in the interview I think it was a deflection like before we even get to any big Sean questions. Let me give you this The chew on you know what I mean, which is I don't like big Sean. Yo, he didn't even give a reason No, he did because he didn't support him politically. So what? He said he talked down the bottom So what now look, I know this man's mama Kanye said Uh, I've changed this man's family and both John Legend and big Sean when I ran for office got Used quick by the democrats to come at their boy that actually changed their life and that's some sell-out shit And I don't rock with neither of them and I need my apologies I'd never heard big Sean come at Kanye. I put for his Take on Trump only thing I've ever heard big Sean says Kanye owe me some money John legend definitely had some things to say about uh Kanye's Trump affiliation that was the other inconsistent thing You can't say that about big Sean and John legend and me. He said, you know, uh When when Joe Biden was on breakfast club and he said the whole you ain't black thing He said, what does that show you that shows you how close y'all are made in biden Uh, right and the conversations they have all fair. That was the first and only time I've ever Had a conversation with Joe Biden. Have you spoken to biden since no didn't speak to him before Haven't spoken to him since but my point with that is he was number. No VP harris. Yes, or not anymore. I used to could Not no more switched up. I've heard I've heard from her since she's been VP though Can we call that number right now and just see who picks up? No You know, it's a crazy party. I I did text it one day and you get back You get back like this crazy Secret service this number has been intercepted by the government message. No. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah It's like one of these like you'll you've never seen an error message like that in your life ever Like it's like what is it? What is it? No, it says something like this number has been intercepted by whatever official It was like a will official message to let you know like don't text this shit Wow, that'd be funny. She followed up like no, I'm just playing. What's up? My point with that is Kanye was you was in the oval office with a MAGA hat on Literally not figuratively. Yeah, literally calling Donald Trump daddy daddy. Yeah, literally saying can I get a hug? Yeah, literally saying that this man makes you feel like Superman So much so to the point that Trump was uncomfortable Trump was like, no, no, no, you don't have to do that Like it was almost like no, no, no, I don't need no head bro. Like you know what I mean like wow Like no, but it was like that It was like that. Wow But so how can you say anything about somebody being too close to politicians? Well, my point is because everybody's gonna say I'm making this about me. It has nothing to do with me It's just the inconsistency And nobody gives a shit. He's really out of control. Yeah, but but he's so entertaining. He's entertaining. You're right It doesn't matter bro. It doesn't matter. Nobody get nobody cares about the truth anything but entertainment entertainment That's the thing that we gotta We just gotta respect that about each other right now Like and I don't think it's something we want to admit But that is a luxury of the first world if you live in the third world Entertainment isn't as important because you need food and water and shelter. Yeah, you know what I mean? You need some safety some security. Those things are important, right first world We pretend to care about all these other things, but at the end of the day We just want to watch dr. Umar johnson. That's right. Right. It doesn't like I shouldn't love dr. Umar. I love him Because my life is so good. I can't afford to love him. It is the same thing. We're yay. I'm rooting for the school You know, I donate every month Did I do my school? I don't it every month I don't it every much. Say what? I'm much. I can't tell you. Okay. Okay. I want to do that, too Nobody you're right. Nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining Kanye wasn't entertaining And by the way, Kanye $100,000 to your life. Yeah I'm going $100,000 to dr. Umar johnson school. My brother. I have a brother. Yeah, he said at a million I get to say the n word three times That's what he said. He said that not me And I said, I don't want it. I said, I don't want it. I want you to keep the money I want you to educate the young boys And that would be so hilarious if dr. Umar literally told you that dr. Umar That's his selling point. Yeah You get to a million. You can say that word three You get three you get three. So use them wisely Use them and I just say one truth of that jamesong. I'm done. Oh my god Yeah, but nobody cares man. Kanye is wildly entertaining and listen Kanye He does some good things. He does some great things, you know, I mean, he's done some great things and we'll continue to do great things But he is just one of the most inconsistent people ever and you know what kandace on says some shit. That's true What kandace on say? everybody that kanya Pop shit too on that drink champs interview. He's going to eventually apologize. Yeah He is the epitome of pops you pop shit apologize niggas. Just ask you He is the epitome of everyone's gonna be on his stage Every single one like when big Sean said he saw him a few weeks ago. He didn't say none of that Our kandace was saying it in reference to when he threw kandace under the bus on twitter I forgot what the whole story was the kandace was like, you know, that's what he did publicly But privately was a different story. That's who he is like that's why it was so interesting to see him You know sitting there reading off the phone with james for instance Now he looked kidnapped He looked kidnapped bro. And listen, I love that was a hostage situation. I love the peace I love to see him and drake make peace. I'd rather see it. That's great music I'd rather see them at a verses than a concert though But what is the larry hoover thing? They trying to get larry hoover out of jail larry hoover still alive. Yeah, yeah Okay, larry hoover's still locked up. They trying to get larry hoover out of jail Because I mean larry hoover's done a lot of great things in the community And you know, they feel like he's somebody that can restore a lot of order to the city of chicago Which he probably can you know what I mean because people look up to somebody like larry hoover. He's a Quadruple Oh, gee, I actually do want to talk to larry hoover's son about that. I'm gonna hit jay prince about that Like I would love to have you know larry hoover's son on one of the platforms and just you know have that conversation about You know why why they want larry hoover home so bad because I'm sure he could explain it way more than I could I mean other than that being his father, you know, I mean he wanted his father to see his grandkids but there's a lot of Street political reasons that they would want him home and I think they're right I think guys like larry hoover guys like big mech who these Brothers in the street, you know look up to for what they did in the street. These brothers have been in jail They paid their death to society. They're different people now. They're different humans Man, they can come out here and encourage so many brothers to take a different route. You know what I mean, so Yeah, I'm I'm all for it. But Watching him in that video with jay prince reading off the phone fire No larry is a good reader. He didn't look like a free thinker to me No, it looked like he was maybe forced to be there If you're coming from the heart with something Yeah, the street If you're trying to squash some beef and come from the heart with bringing people together shouldn't it just come from the heart Yeah, I will say this though. If I ever get cancelled and I need to publicly apologize I want jay prince to be next to me when I do That is the trick. I don't care what I'm getting cancelled for but jay prince needs to be next to me when I do I need to meet that man Man jay prince you were invited to any one of my shows when you do youth And you should tell jay prince pull up. I'm actually performing at dr. Umar school in the inaugurate the first The opening day I'm performing That's really my special Yeah, so it'd be awesome as jay prince But seriously, I mean it when I did the show If you hold up the big check and where it says four says to say n words Whoa Wow Dr Umar bro Next time you and houston you should invite jay prince out jay prince is the one I tried to I want him to come to the show in houston But I didn't know how to connect directly to him But I come on hit you for how you jay for you. All right. Shit. That's why jay's a great brother Ain't nothing like being on the receiving end of a jay prince old gco. Really? That's right You've got a couple of those right Put it like this. I understand what kanya was going to do when he Firm I understand what kanya was going to do in that moment. You know what I mean I understand what kanya was going through but it's funny though I like I like how jay waited for for kanya to disrespect jrake to do something like kanya was running for president Kanya would say make america great again. Like jay didn't sit him down and make him apologize He goes that trick a little bit. It's like we might need to have a conversation But no it's big no no No, it's bigger than a drink because I'll tell you something when kanya did this whole oval office thing Yes, I remember jay prince posting something on instagram and jay prince was talking about how You know I forgot how he worded it But he was like regardless of what you think of his antics the fact he stood in front of the president And said we need to free larry hoover was big for him because larry hoover's that's jay prince guy. Oh, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's jay prince guy So that's a cow a cause that's near and dear to his heart So it's just like anything else when you see somebody standing in front of a the high and selected official in the land And they're talking about a cause that's near and dear to your heart You're going to salute him as you should like I don't understand why we can't have nuance Why we can't be objective about things. Yeah kanya probably said a whole bunch of things You don't agree with yeah, but if you said one thing that you agree with I can't you just give me props on that Yeah, keep it moving. So it's like Yeah, I mean in that situation he was absolutely 100 correct, you know and doing what he and doing what he was doing Yeah, we got to get jay prince on a pod. Can we get him on a pod? Jay prince would definitely do the pot. That would be fire jay prince. He's done.

You don't know their life Come on, dude Ginger Let me tell you something about Ed Sheeran Yeah Ed Sheeran is one of the purest souls I've ever met in my life Word Just a great human Like he doesn't know who he is Like that is wild, right? Unbelievable Like do you know you're Ed Sheeran? Do you know who you are, bro? And that's my guy, like that's my guy Like I love that dude man He's a good pure soul And you be around Ed sometimes and think him out his mouth And you be like Who the fuck are you, bro? Yeah Like we had him on Breakfast Club this week and he He was talking about He was saying how you don't feel like he's accepted in the pop world Yeah But just conversations we've had before, right? But he's a young, you know, English dude So of course hip hop culture has been his culture I mean he's in the all genres of music But he loves hip hop culture So I remember like this was some years ago Man, we might have been in the UK This might have been when we stated his crib He said we was drunk because he's got a pub on his estate Like a pub I got a bar in my house He's got a whole pub that you have to put on clothes And shoes to go out to Right? So we're in the pub And he just I don't know how we even got on the subject He started rapping Gangstar Right where you stand Verbado Wow And I remember just looking at him like The fuck just happened All the words? Not all I mean, yeah, pretty much Yeah, yeah, but he verbatim Like, right? And did Jadakiss parts and the guru parts No, he didn't say the n-word That's all I wanted Okay See all right He didn't say the n-word Real talk Boy, if you want to say the n-word Donations Did Dr. Umar Donations, donations, donations Okay I'll just say it and there's a way Frederick Douglass, Marcus Garvey But he he rapped it verbatim And ever since then I just was like It was not only to do a really love hip-hop He's just a different type of dude Who embraces any and everybody That's all he cares about Are you a good person or not? That's it And you and you and you know where he gets it from His parents His upbringing You see the upbringing Yeah, yeah You see the people that he has around him Like in the fact he still lives in his hometown That he grew up in Like just I'm telling you man Staying grounded is a motherfucker, yo Yeah He's definitely one of the best at it It comes across like he really loves music That's it? You know like I think there's a lot of people that like They're not really students of the game that they That they have chosen to exist within And like they could get exposed But there are people who are just obsessed Like they're basketball players who are obsessed with basketball They watch every game They watch the old games They know the vans They just know everything And he's always struck me as a guy who's like obsessed with music He is, no he is I thought he just had a bunch of just talent He does That too though So it's easy to him Like I was saying Is what I'm saying Yeah That's very true That he's like he's just He just oozes talent It's like God put all that talent in this redhead Kid from the UK That's why he's just so humble Like this is my life You know what I like to do about this Writing I don't have to work hard for this Playing the guitar And encouragement from his parents Like he said when he was young He told his dad I'm gonna do a song with him and him one day And the dad was like Yes you are Yes you will That's all the kid needs That's what my parents were like My parents never said I wasn't gonna do anything And I'd say the craziest things They'd be like yeah yeah that sounds good You think it's a UK thing Ain't your people from Oh my mom's from the UK But honestly the culture in the UK is not like that usually Really It's hey don't be too Don't try to be too big You know don't be better than who you are You know better than anybody else here I think that's why my mom left You know she grew up You know more at the bit You know porn and Scotland And then she left To kind of get away with that So that she could actually become herself She could spread her wings She had to come to America a place where That was rewarded Like you have big dreams here in America People love that shit It's inspiring to hear those stories But if you come from certain communities Especially like working class communities I'm sure it exists here too They look at you like Hey do you think you're better than us Yeah You're trying to leave this Yeah you know that's true I see a lot of that I'm not gonna sit over here What do you say The total opposite like You ain't gonna talk to nothing You ain't gonna be nothing It's like I'ma prove it to you Oh that's because you was kidnaping people Yeah you shouldn't be kidnaping right Yeah I guess You know it's different It makes sense a little bit My dad used to tell me I wasn't gonna be shit either He probably was right But you could tell me if I didn't change my ways That you weren't gonna be shit Yeah exactly Yeah I already left before you could say that Yeah that's what I don't believe Like you know like every motherfucker that makes it Has this story about some teacher That was like You're never gonna do anything with your life It's like Ain't no teachers out there like that y'all No I had a lot of those too I don't know what you're talking about They said to you That's my whole life They said to a child They said to a child You're gonna be nothing Context though Told my mom that I'm not even gonna be nothing So just let them go through school Context though Yeah give it context Context is We were the bad kids in school Little I was a bad kid too I was a night school I was a bad kid too But these teachers knew No I had to I had to You know to your point I did have teachers like I got a salute Ms. Brevard I love Ms. Nicole Brevard You know Ms. Nicole Brevard She was actually a librarian At Berkeley High School And she used to always tell me I was wasting Whatever talent she saw in me at the time She was like you're too smart for this shit But that's different than you're never gonna make it No but no I'm saying she was one that was saying The opposite of what the other motherfuckers were saying The other motherfuckers was like You're going to jail Yeah but that's You might go to jail And you did They were right Yeah yeah yeah But no they meant like long prisons And they was like you're gonna end up in debt Or a jail And by the way They weren't wrong Based off the lifestyle I was living They weren't wrong They had to talk to us like that I get it My dad was like that My dad was like I remember my dad telling my mom Man let's just kill him and get the insurance money Because he's going to die anyway He bothers me I took him in I took him in That's fire That's fire Nah that's fire dude I like that I'm so curious though Let's just kill him and get the insurance money Because he's going to die anyway He's going to die anyway They could just put life insurance on you And then got collected the same But that's what it was though It was literally like The life I was living Reckless They was like he's going to end up in jail See the stories out of that He's going to end up dead anyway Yeah So fuck him Yeah You know Moms aren't usually like that No moms always try to hold that last day No you gotta be really bad for the moms That's right I always tell people that When you see a mom cut somebody off Boy that person ain't shit Yeah you took her bingo money But nobody but her bingo money You make her look better for her friends That's all you can do Here's the thing though It's like that context is never putting the story It looks like it was just this innocent kid Going to school and then there was this Social Studies teacher who was like You know what You're never going to be anything You're never going to make it And it's like cat Stop it You were fucking around in school Driving this poor teacher crazy While she tried to teach you some shit And then she was like fuck you too You keep doing this shit You're never going to be nothing And you know what You stop doing that shit And then you ended up being something So that teacher was right I knew I was a terror And I was a terror because I was Everything I did was mental It wasn't like the kids And like wax was beating people up You know what I mean I was putting boogers and doodoo And stuff on people too That's physical stuff though I couldn't do that Yeah yeah But you were doing like mental torture Mental I could have been a cold leader bro You think Yeah

I got stolen What else we got, man? Yo, what's up with this Will Smith Jada shit? I hate it What's going on with all this? I hate it, man What do you mean? I don't know, man I'm too bad Man like that He didn't get too dope for you sitting in front of Will out like that, man Will Smith is like so sad He's really kind of fall apart I thought Will was doing Jada a favor this whole time Like I was like, I guess he really loves her Like that's why he wanted to be They've been together since the 90s, bro But he could be with whoever he want That's Will Smith Yeah, but Jada's still Jada But he still deserves to have his own That's what I'm saying, Jada's Jada He deserves to have his own Will Smith's supposed to have his own everything Yeah He doesn't share nothing I think that the problem with this situation Is that we've looked at Will Smith and Jada A certain way for so long So when you find out that these people are just human beings Who go through regular human beings Shit like the rest of us Where everybody's like, oh my god, not Will and Jada Yeah They smoke a cigarette inside the church or fill it They're human I think it's a lot of us look at Jada as lucky to be with Will So when we see Jada talking crazy I'm just saying, listen I've never looked at it like that I've always called myself a Pinkett Smith Winfrey Knowles Carter I've always looked at Jada Pinkett as A Jada Pinkett Like she and Jada is no joke, bro Yeah, Jada dope and theft I mean maybe it's a white thing But like Jada just didn't really penetrate white culture that much So we're looking at Will Smith who's like At one point in time the biggest celebrity in the world In terms of like movie stars, action stars And then he's with this girl who's like Kind of was in one of the matrixes or something Like Yeah, but before that to us man Jada Pinkett Smith is culture You know what I mean? Because Jada Pinkett Smith was on Set it off Different world She was in set it off Yeah, not really Not really tapping into the And just beautiful Like damn Like Jada was just always one of them ones You looked at when you was young like Listen, I'm sure she's great And I'm sure it's awesome It looked like Will was really in love with this girl And it wasn't a clout ship Because he could get somebody way bigger The point I'm trying to make is Well the point I'm trying to make is I think at least in like white culture We thought that Will could do whoever he wanted He could get whatever the fuck he wanted And now it looks like this girl Who we thought he was doing her a favor Is shitting all over him And she not having a relationship But you know what though She's cheating on him He can't satisfy her It's like yo, how much you got disclosed But here's the thing though Stop disclosing everything Here's the thing, you know If we just keeping it 100 It's like yo Jada didn't really say anything bad When she did the interview with Gwyneth Paltrow I think that's what it was with People really took that out of context Because all she said was like Yo, thinking that you can read your partner's mind Is one of the biggest pitfalls that you're going to have in a relationship That's a fact I think she said like Thinking that you're going to be happy together Thinking you're going to be like Satisfied sexually your whole life But no, she said But no, she didn't say it like that She didn't say it like that Let's hear it Alex Because you know I'm a pinkie smith Where if we know it's Carter So I'll be biased Yeah Taylor got the I don't know what this is But my point is like Jada They took it out of context Because everybody's looking for something now Like ever since the entanglement situation You know what I mean Even that Everybody's taking it out of context Stop getting entangled yo But yo we don't buy anything That's why I can't wait to read Will's book It comes out this week I actually ordered it already I hope I get it this week But we don't know what kind of relationship they got That's fucking up the brand They don't care about the brand no more Can I tell you something And they shouldn't Can I tell you something And a lot of men don't get credit for this But like there's famous men out there Like famous famous Dead Their wives have cheated on them And they chose not to share that information Keep it tucked to protect the wife and the kids And the kids That's what it's about That's what I said And then they get caught cheating later Or something else happens later After they're broken up And it looks like some cheating shit And then that comes out And they still don't say Yo the reason why we're broken up is the wife Big difference Will and Jada Can never do the right Don't ever do dirt on the wife Because the kids But Will and Jada I can't believe you thought Jada's as big A fucking superstar as Will Smith No but when they started in the 90s Like Jada was no joke So he put it like this Not even close I'm talking about Will Smith here But in the 90s I think they was together before even like He did six degrees of separation Which was his first movie But even still the TV show was big But Fresh Prince was a big sitcom show But Jada was on a big sitcom show too Not as big as Different Big bro It might not be I don't know if it was big as Fresh Prince And Jada's not the star of a different world But she was on there enough that like We looked at her as a star You're talking about the star of the show Versus a co-star on a less popular show But the difference between different world and other shows Like yes you had Kadeem Hardison And Whitley Jasmine Guy Who were like the centerpieces of it But it was a show based on a college campus So everybody almost kind of had equal billing And Jada was the person who would come on screen And steal the show bro Like her, you know, she just would And like her interactions with Tupac on the show Like that was big to me growing up culturally That's the too big of a part That's the problem right there To me? And I'm like that's pop And you think that that's as big as Will Smith Superstar Will Smith We'll put it like this This should shut the argument down Will wanted her and married her Yeah, but we've been doing that all the fucking time No, Will wanted her and married her Out of all of the women in Hollywood Yes And everything that was going on Will saw Jada and said That's who I want to be with That's what I'm saying because he really loved her Yo Jada bad! Yo, he saved her No, let me say he saved her But she's not supposed to be doing nothing With nobody else He saved her Jesus They were to me Will and Jada were equal You're crazy To me? You're crazy That's right That Will and that Jada love, baby Yo, yo, yo That was like hoping boom Brady You think he will billion Like this guy was making 20 million a film Jada never made 20 million in her life for one project Yeah, it wasn't about money We're talking about the size It was about culture Of an actor It was about culture No, no, no I'm talking about culture To me Will and Jada have always made sense No, no, I'm not saying It didn't make sense Wow You know Yeah, especially in that time So you telling me You trying to say Will and Jada is like Beyoncé and Jay-Z I put them more of a Yeah, Beyoncé and Jay I do that more than Will and Jada And I ain't taking nothing away from Jada I'm just saying Will is just Will I think he should have his own When did it All right, they've been married since 97 Also, you weren't even old enough to watch a different world No, you weren't No, you weren't What are you talking about?

See how this shit goes with Jada That's the thing that's bothering me Is that you're not willing to admit that you might be wrong No, I remember hearing it, but it's y'all got it I know we're right So it doesn't matter Now when you googled it and couldn't find it Was there a little bit of concern? Like at any point of time in the Google At any point of time in the Google we were like Maybe I misheard something at all You didn't even look at it You did look for it first Wait, hold on You googled it I know And we watched you Are you saying? No, you don't need to google that When I went to look at the sub You didn't want me to So it doesn't matter But we did google it together, right? We did google it together, right? Taylor is the Kanye West of producers This is entertaining It's entertaining That's the only reason we're on it It's entertaining We know it's inconsistent But it's just entertaining This isn't really entertaining What happened right there, yo? Jada said it, so you gotta listen That's gonna be the name of the pocket Y'all wanted us real soon What? It's true, I googled it and I found it No, it's not No, you didn't You just need to be the guy It's not true, let me see Look Is it red table talk? Let me see Let me see No, I was just joking I know you're lying You're lying You're such a bad guy Jesus Christ Look, it's more entertainment It's entertainment, dawg But uh We just lied for entertainment Hold your head, Feddy That's all this shit is nowadays Yeah Everybody lying for fucking entertainment Man, what's the point of being consistent? Who gives a fuck? Who gives a fuck? Nobody cares about the truth from the lie Don't even want to deal with it He's young, you know what I'm saying? Nobody got no pussy, but you didn't get no pussy before Yeah, that's what I did It's a lie We all started young Did you ever lie about getting pussy? I couldn't I was really getting pussy Yeah, I guess You were getting molested I guess so We all were at a young age Not me You never got molested? I never got molested Pretty good Let's do some asking idiots, man Okay Let's do some asking idiots and get up out of here Oh shit, we need Taylor for asking idiots Oh my god I'll pee real quick And then I'll come back We'll do some asking idiots Like Kanye Okay, let's tie this all up I think we found it, bro I think we found it I think Taylor gate Okay, she found it No, this is it This is it Okay And it ties it all in about Even what I was saying with different world Okay This is a timeline of Will Smith and Jada's relationship 1995 The Smith started dating During a 2018 Red Table Talk appearance Smith expressed that he was attracted to Pinkett Smith When he later saw her on the college-themed TV series A Different World Now mind you, him and his wife was having problems at this time I knew there was something in our energy That would be magic, he said Unfortunately, Smith was married at the time to Fletcher And decided not to act on his attraction to Pinkett Smith Smith later revealed on Red Table Talk That he knew Pinkett Smith was the one An a-ha moment he had in a restaurant bathroom While he was on a dinner date with Fletcher I had a realization I wasn't with the person I was supposed to be with Smith said I was sitting in a stall and I was crying And laughing uncontrollably And I knew Jada was the woman I was supposed to be with But I was never getting divorced I went back out, sat down with Cherie And started going back on with my life It wasn't until Fletcher ended things with Will That he tried to woo the actress He asked Pinkett Smith If she was seeing anyone and her response was no Cool, you're seeing me now Smith smoothly told her From there, Pinkett Smith moved from Baltimore to California And the two began dating Smith and his ex-wife officially divorced in late 1995 And then in 1997, Jada and Will got married Okay So He had the hots for her He liked her but he wasn't cheating on her Is that fair to say? That's not what you say No, we're not letting her get out with that one No, keep her in the figure for it That is not what she said, Andrew But then I said, like, like he liked him That's not what you say, Taylor That could not be the only way So you can admit you was wrong the first time You lied on my cousins You like, as a Pinkett Smith, when he knows Carter. I think it was wrong. So. No, no, no, no, no. Not how you worded it was wrong. You were just wrong. He wanted to be there probably though. We have prayer. Probably. Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus, help me. Lord Jesus, help me. Help me, Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus. Hey, can we say a prayer? I think we need to say a prayer all of us together. Jesus. Let's say a prayer. Jesus. I think we need to say a prayer. Jesus. Jesus. You hate Jesus. Can we please say a prayer? Jesus, I'm busy, man. It's about to be Christmas, leave me alone. I got time for this, all right? Listen, bro. I think we need to say a prayer. Can someone lead us in a prayer? Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray, Jada Pinkett, my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray, will Smith my soul to take. Amen. Done. Jesus name. OK. In Jesus name. Amen. You ready? Let's do some asking idiots. Let's do it. Alex. Paulito Sway 87 says, when life gets chaotic, what's the one thing that grounds you that you tend to overlook? Oh, this is a good one. Shit. What do you think? As Peter Baylisch said, chaos is a ladder. I like chaos. Chaos is a time when you get to come up. It all depends on where they're coming from. I don't think it does it. Yeah, I guess you're saying if there's chaos in your personal life, that might be tricky. But chaos is a ladder, my friends. Chaos will take you to the top. Chaos offers moments for you to step your game up. So if everything's too comfy, shit is whack. Right now, I think everything's too comfy. You know what I mean? Chaos is different than trouble. And pandemic was chaos. And we were popping. Not to me. I don't think that was chaos. Not to me. I'm looking at chaos. For a lot of people, it was chaos. No, I get it. I thought it was peaceful. I enjoyed it. The way my anxiety set up, not having to leave the house every day, knowing what all the family had in the house. It was everything out of control. I think most people didn't have the same opportunities or privilege, if you will, as you had. But it provided a situation where we obviously were doing a turn your phones. We did the Netflix special. And then when we came out of that and started touring, it gave a lot of opportunity. It was chaos, bro. Say what? Chaos is like, yeah, life is turned upside down. That's literally what happened during the pandemic. Turn your phone. Turn your phone. Yeah, yeah. You don't think that people's life got turned upside down in the pandemic. They lost their jobs. There's no way they couldn't leave their house. A lot of people for the better. Stop flexing. A lot of people, what are you talking about? How many people died? How many people died? You talking about people committing suicide. Why are you just talking to talk? No. People got what happened last year. No, but you put like this, if you asked 50% of people that were like, oh, they're kind of great. Another 50%, yeah, people died in their life. No, I think it's probably more like 80, 20. People's mental health was fucked up. They were lost inside. Couldn't be around people. People lost their jobs. People that went back to work and realized, I don't even want to work here no more. That's what I'm saying. They was happy as hell. They weren't happy. They just got adjusted to something new. They did. You met like 10 people like that. When you already knew people was fucked up. You will see. When you see the comments, they'll tell you, oh no, shit was great for me. But those comments probably represent the 5% to 10% of people in the other world. The world. Not just America. The world was fucked up last year. But you know what? They aren't able to write shit. That means they're alive. There was chaos, bro. What I'm saying is chaos provides opportunity at times. So when I see things that are in disarray, when I see things that are fucked up, when I see people looking for answers and those types of things, I'm like, oh, it's time to shine. Let's go. When everybody's calm, cool, collected, chilling, you ever go to a beach resort and shit like that? Ain't no point in making content in a beach resort. No point in fucking doing podcasts and shit like that. You had a beach resort. Everybody's out there chilling and enjoying life. I don't feel like I want to create. There's nothing to create based on. There's nothing to push back against. But when there's some chaos, it's like, ooh, let's get cooking. What do you go to? You go to cigarettes? When you have chaos, what do you go to? Well, for me, it's work. Like, that becomes the drug. Because there's something to work for. There's something to work towards. There's something to solve. There's a problem to solve. There's no problems to solve? Like, I ask all the time in my shows, I'll ask people. I'd be like, what is bothering you right now? What's the issue right now? What are you pushing back against? And people just looking at me dumbfounded. They're like, ugh. Because nothing's going on. I got such a great team around me that professionally, chaos is like very much at a minimum. Because everybody does what they're supposed to do. And keeps the chaos from me. Therefore, I'm able to focus on creative. And focus on my personal well-being. Because if my personal well-being isn't good, nothing else matters. You know what I mean? So when you ask me what's the one thing that grounds you that you tend to overlook, I would probably say family. Because there's nothing that grounds you like family. To me. And it's just something that you expect to be there so much. I feel guilty with that. But you expect it to be there so much and you're always working, you're always on the go. So those moments when you're in the house and like, damn, I really provided a great life for my family. You know what I mean? And these are the people that love me unconditionally. You know what I mean? And having daughters is different. Because it's love all day except for the 13-year-olds. Even though she loves me. Now I'm at the point I got to prove my love to her. You know what I mean? Like, she does. Like, every day it's a prove to me you love me. Or maybe that's just my brain thinking like that. But that's how it feels. Like, every day I got to prove to her that I love her. But it's just like, yeah, family, man. Like, family. We tend to take family for granted, though. We really do. What about... Okay. How often do you see your parents? Not enough. I'm about to fuck your shit up right now. Not enough at all. Not enough. I've seen my mom this weekend. Three times a year? Four times a year? All right, three times a year. A little bit more for me, but... Right? All right, ten times a year. You're three. I'm probably, maybe I see them tops once a month and I live close to them. We'll both live in Manhattan. How many more years do you think they'll live? Yeah. This is where shit gets fucked up. So let's say you see them three times a year. Let's say your parents, and we're being generous, live, like, what, another 30 years? Three times a year, 30 years. That's generous, bro. And that's generous. It's generous. 30. So let's say it's 20. I mean, I hope they do, though. All right, we hope. Let's say it's 20. That's 60 more total times you'll hug your mom. Whew. Wow. You know what I mean? Like, 60 more total times. 100%, bro. You keep getting everything now. And pops will say that he's proud of you and loves what you're doing. 100%. Total in your life. If we're lucky. When I start looking at shit like that, man, I feel so guilty. That's why you shouldn't take it for granted. I mean, but I'm like that with, like, everybody in my life that knows, that I know loves me and I love them. You know what I mean? Because it's like we're not with everybody every day. Like, and there's more people, like, you know, I'm with Wax all the time. You know what I mean? I talk to Adali all the time. I see my wife every day. You know what I mean? But sometimes you take that for granted. The fact that you see them every day. So it can go either way. The fact you don't see them or the fact you see them every day. You know what I mean? It's just like, yo, man, don't take that shit for granted. When you got, like, people around you that ground you. Like, literally ground you. Like, you know you can walk in this room and just be you? Don't take that shit for granted. Don't take that shit for granted. And it's usually your family and friends that you tend to overlook. It's like, oh, they're going to be there. That's how we've been with the women in our life forever, right? At least me, I can speak on my, I'm always used to women being there for me, right? That's why when I started hearing these conversations about black women saying how they feel overlooked and black women feel like they're disrespected and their men are there for them, I understand it. Because you just expect them to be there. Because they've always been. Your mom, your grandma, your aunts. You know what I mean? So you just take them for granted. Like, oh, that's just, they're going to be there. You know what I mean? But you got to eat for me, aunty. Don't even care how she, what happened to her. That's it. You ain't asking how she's doing. You know what I mean? You ain't asking if she good. Like, you coming, we coming there and do the label. You know what I mean? You ain't going to let your mom and your aunts, you know. But you don't ask, you don't really invest in them and see how they are. They just are. Yeah, you just expect. And we tend to take that for granted. Like literally. And then like one day it's just like if you're smart, you have a wake up call and you start moving with intention when it comes to the women in your life. You know what I mean? And you start pouring into them the way they poured into you. They did it first for you. They did it first for years. I'm watching how she takes care of herself. I'm like, how do you do? I cannot do that. Women hold it down and always have. They do. And what did we reward them with? Nah, we hold it down too. They got a house. We rewarded them with Snoop Dogg. Nah, nah, nah. The doggy style album and the chronic. Nah, we hold it down. Nah, we hold it down too, man. The guys who do that part, you got to salute these guys. We're doing better now. We're doing a lot better now. But the reason we're doing a lot better now because we're moving with intention. The cracker is gone. The cracker? What? The cracker error is gone. Oh, cracker error. I mean, I understand. That will take a lot of us out of the houses and stuff like that. They're taking our OGs away. That's true. They want to take control of our towns and shit like that. They see us growing. But I got a lot of fathers out there who actually do their part. If you get a good partnership, the mom is very important, but the dad is very important too. And we letting the women leave. I can't do that shit. I can't do it. Let them leave. The house, nothing. I'm like one of the kids. What you need me to do? I'm definitely one of the kids. I might be the biggest kid. What you need me to do? I'm definitely the most emotional in the house. I don't know where shit is in my house. Like, my friends come over and they'll ask for like a cup. Yeah, like, I don't know where the cups are. I truly do not know. Are you asking me for... You don't see... What's she right here? Like, this is her stuff. This is her stuff. I'm howling at me for a screwdriver or the blow or something that was all mine. I don't even know either, man. Speak to my angel. I got that. My angel texted me right now. What'd she say? Mmm, something about something. It's all good. But that's how I know it's God. It's just God. I will say this, though. Like, because I'm on the road and constantly busy and I don't have tons of time with my girl, I cherish that time. So I feel like I'm not wasting it. I feel like we're taking advantage of it and like we're super intentional about it. And I think that if you don't have that, like if you have all this free time, you guys can end up just like hanging out and just watching movies all the time, but you're not really like finding ways where you guys will do something interesting and like enjoy the time. Maybe that's what y'all like doing, though. I'll say what? Maybe that's what y'all like doing. We do it as well. But like, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but like I think it's easy to get in a routine when you're comfortable with someone where you don't continue to try to do things that excite you both. And because we have limited time together, we are trying to take advantage of those times. And that doesn't mean necessarily an activity, but like going, hey, let's turn off the phone. Let's turn off the phone and like talk to each other, enjoy each other. But I bet you if I was at home seven o'clock every single night, we wouldn't do that. We just kind of sit and enjoy and like not really take for granted that we have that time with each other. I think the biggest thing to realize is just intention, man. Just be, that's my word for the rest of my life. Be intentional. Everything has to have intention. Like even when somebody brings something to me, I don't care what it is, I'm like, what's the intention behind it? I need everything has to have intention. Your relationships, you know, your projects that you create and create, creatively, everything. When you wake up in the day, what's your intention for the day? Yeah. You can't just wake up and go. What's your intention for the day, man? Did success change how much you cared about things? A hundred percent. A question of that. A thousand percent. Who's the idiot telling us otherwise? I'm just saying it's really interesting like how important like political issues and all this other kind of shit is. And then you get some success. Like in terms, when I mean success, I don't mean like Twitter followers. I mean like you have multi-millions of dollars. Yeah. Like some financial success where you're good. And all of a sudden these little like things that, you know, people bicker about, but they don't actually really care about. You're like, do I want to get riled up and invested in that? No, no, no. I thought you were talking about just life, other things, but that stuff, no. It actually makes me care about it less. Yeah, less. You're like, you're like, you actually, I used to be in that little rat race where I'd care so much about this topic that was popular this week. And now I'm like, this is not going to be popular a week from now. Do I want to dedicate mental energy to this bullshit topic that they're forcing us to fight about? No. I don't know nothing and that's the way to go. But when you don't have anything else to rely on, you're like, oh, I got to care about this. It's like almost, it becomes like sports. You're like, oh, it's Sunday? I'm caring who the Cowboys are playing this week. But realistically, it don't fucking matter. It's football. Yeah. Like you start to realize like the politics, the what? You don't have a life. Your team is three and six. Of course. My team is six and two. I didn't even know my team is three and six. Exactly. You shouldn't. Yeah, I don't care. See how you just got red just now? You got pissed off. My Dallas Cowboys is six and two. We going to the Super Bowl. Cowboys are life, baby. Yeah. Of course. I don't know what you're talking about. You had me until you said that. But you know how like you're opting into the Cowboys? No. You're not from Dallas? You're not even from Texas? Didn't have a choice? You did have a choice. No. Yes, you did. My daddy. You do everything your daddy does? My daddy. You do everything your daddy does? I did. Until I made a cognitive decision not to. But my daddy tased the Marine on 9-11 at MetLife Stadium. Amazing. I know. During the Cowboys' Jets game. Amazing. Now you tell me you think I had a choice. Get something we stuck on that star. I call it cat. No, it's real shit. Huh? Taylor. Taylor, Google that one. Taylor. Taylor. Google that one. Now I want to come up immediately. Exactly. Jesus. But you understand what I'm saying is like we choose the things that we want to get emotionally involved in. And I guess, I don't know, for some reason, like when I had less financial stability. You cared about dumb shit more. Way more, bro. Yeah. And now we don't affect, I don't give a fuck about it. And I'm asking you guys this because I wanted to make sure that this isn't my own thing and that this is a function of stability. It's like when you have your stability, you're less emotionally charged by these issues. I never give a fuck about it. Nothing though, bro. So you never cared. But like, Charlie, you cared. I cared about what? You cared too. You wanted to have the hot take on this thing that was happening in the news and that shit. No, I didn't really care. Early on you did. No, no, no. I never cared. I just didn't know no better. I just gave a fuck about dumb shit. I was trying to survive. So it's just like literally everything that was out there. Like, oh, I'm gonna talk about this. I'm gonna talk about this person. I'm gonna talk about that. I'm gonna talk about this. I'm gonna talk about this. I felt that was my job. You felt it was your job. I felt it was my job. And then you got some stability. Well, two things. Number one, man, at least for me, like you get older and you start to like see the game and realize that, man, when you were on the outside looking in, you just didn't know what the fuck you was talking about. So you just violated it. And by the way, I see that now. So it's like, it's the craziest thing to imagine somebody trying to tell, tell me about you. Are you crazy? Somebody trying to tell you about you. That's all this era we're in now is. It's all of these people who don't know us from, don't know us other than what they hear on the microphones and literally trying to tell us about our personal life. And I think about it 10 years ago, that was me. I was trying to tell other people about them and who they are. So do you pretend to care about issues because you feel like that's the bridge to making it? I'm not saying there aren't still issues that bother me. No, I talk about issues now because I genuinely care about it. Exactly. But now I love doing my TV show. Like the stuff you see me talk about on my TV show, the stuff I want to talk about. Exactly. But now I can't muster up the care for like the frivolous shit. Whereas before I would be engaged with it. Can't do it. That time. And I'm trying to understand what that is a function of. Are we getting old then? We understand what time. That's what I think it is. We appreciate time now. I think it is nothing. We never appreciate the time before. And you understand time is money. Like the shit you said about the movie earlier. You spent 12 hours on a movie set. In your mind, you're like, you know how much money 12 hours is? Yo, that's the thing. I'm paying to do the movie. Like if I got to cancel the show, which I did, like I'm paying them to do it. So now I'm looking at this in terms of like cost, was it time, cost analysis, whatever it is? Whereas just like, whereas, you know, I understand doing this thing could lead to other things that could provide security for, you know, my friends and family. It's an investment. It's an investment. 100%. It's an investment. Same thing with family. Like I feel like certain times you want to go do something on the weekend. I'm like, I got to fly over here to go do something. Yeah. And it's like, do I stay here with her? To invest in our family and future? Or invest in our family and future? Which one do you do? Yeah. Yeah. And she's going to want time naturally. And we want her to want time. Yeah. We don't ever want our girl to be like, don't hang out with me. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Please. Please be away. Fuck that. But we also have to be mature enough to go balance. Hey, I need to provide security for us. I need to go hit these comedy clubs during the week and work out new jokes so I could go on tour and do a whole new tour and continue building this fucking tour and do arenas so that we can live the life that we talk about and dream about. I need to do that. And that means I got to sacrifice time that I want to spend with you. Yes. We want to spend time with you too. Yeah. And the crazy part is, you know, we all act like we got time. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, my plan is 50, I'm out. And I want to spend the rest of my life. You know, I run these companies from afar. You know what I mean? And like, you know, like be sitting on the money that I've made over the past decade or whatever and let the family do what they want. But the reason I want that is because I want to spend the rest of my life actually going to search for the meaning of life. I want to go do ayahuasca and fucking, you know, grow a long beard and like be doing yoga every goddamn day. Like, I really do. Like, I'm not even joking when I say like, I really want to just practice my, I want to go live on an island somewhere and just like don't do anything but try to find that ultimate peace of mind. $20 million in the bank is a million dollars a year in interest. Can you live on a million dollars a year? Can I? Yeah. I'm just saying, if you can get 20 million in the bank. My lifestyle ain't, I don't do nothing. I'm not one of these guys. You don't see me in no Bentley. You don't see me in no Phantom. You ain't see me out here buying no big ass, crazy jewelry. You know what I mean? And by the way, this is what I talk about when I have these conversations about, you know, understanding business. Like, you know, you got so many people out here that's so pumped up about wanting to own a hundred percent of nothing, right? Instead of owning 50% of a multimillion dollar industry, right? So you know what I like? I like being able to provide opportunity and employment, you know what I mean? And let these major corporations that we partner with fit the bill. And in the meantime, we're building our own generational wealth. This company is fitting the bill. So it's like, that's what I'm here to do. So when you talk about living beyond your means, I don't live beyond my means. And the overhead is taking care of. That's good business to me. I'm just saying in terms of retirement, I always try to think about things like, how do you back into what you need? So if you know what you need to live on per year, let's say you want to live on $2 million a year and you know that you want to do that forever, then you know- You can easily do that. 40 million a year. Then you need 40 in the bank now. Now, if you want to keep grinding and keep working and keep, you know, making money and making your money, make money, that's some shit I'm trying to understand now. I could live off five in the bank. You could live off five in the bank and what the interest of that would be. I go, yeah, hell yeah. What's 20% of 5 billion? Yo, we start throwing these numbers around, like numbers. 20% of 20,000. Like 200,000 times five. 230,000. You just make- 200, what? I think it's 250,000. It's 250,000? You creep? You creep? You creeps paid off? $250,000 a year, yeah. Yeah, if you creeps paid off, you're living. Of course you could. Of course you could. There's no question that you can. There's things I got going on in my life right now that I'm going to see royalties and statements off forever. Yeah. Like the book business is great. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm talking about my own personal books. Yeah, yeah. Like forget the imprint. Like my own personal shook one in black privilege. I get statements sometimes like, oh, shit. You know what I mean? And that started like immediately, right? So it's just like, whatever, God is good, man. I'm like, I'm not tripping off that. The only thing I want to do is be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Make sure the people around me are good. And if I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing now, everybody will be set up and we'll be fine. And you know, catch me on the island somewhere, man. Yeah. Straight up, ayahuasca. Yeah. That's what I'm aiming for. What do you think you're going to find? What do you mean? I don't know. I don't know. But I can't wait to do it. I can't wait to figure it out. Somebody just told me about shrooms and it said, they'd be so small. And it's like everything else is just so big. And I'm like. I want ayahuasca. I want to see that other dimension, bro. Even though I feel like I go in and out of the other dimensions now, I want to really feel it. That's not the same thing in the mushroom? Nah. Ayahuasca is a plant they put in the tea. I mean, you can put the mushrooms in the tea too, but I'm doing, I'm trying to do ayahuasca this year before the years over, bro. Do it, man. That's my goal. Ayahuasca. No, I don't know. I was curious in it, but I didn't need it. And like my whole feeling is like if I don't need it, if I don't, if I'm not yearning for it, if I'm not like really wanting it, then I don't want to push it because I don't know. The way I kind of look at life right now is like, I'm driving towards something and I'm using my anxiety and I'm using my insecurity as a furnace. Okay. Right? That's the engine. So it's like, that's the fuel for me to get what I desire. And then I think when I retire, I'm going to try to unlearn this life that I've learned to live, which is working all the time, grinding, striving for more, pushing myself. If you do it right now, you might get, you might be like... Yeah, I'm not trying to do that work all the time, driving, pushing myself when I got grandkids and shit. Like I want to learn how to do nothing and enjoy that day. I don't know how to do that just yet. I fall apart, but I do one day want to be able to just sit on the beach and do nothing and feel like that was okay. Here's the thing, right? To your point, the reason I'm cool with that is because my something is empowering other people. Yeah. Right? So I like getting my Clarence Avon on. I like getting my Sean Jay-Z Carter on. Meaning like... Yeah. I don't... I'm gonna sit on that beach, but I'm okay, I might be the person that's the head of this company. But what if you did nothing? That is nothing to me. No, no, no, no. Being the head of a company is something. Are you okay enough with yourself where you can do nothing for anyone else and nothing for yourself in that day is still okay? Yeah. I don't know. That's a good question. Because it feels like you're paying... I answered that like you're in Rogers. I said, yeah, but then I was like, I'm immune to that. Yeah. I don't know. But you know what I'm saying? It feels like you're paying to debt. It's like, well, I feel... I can feel good about myself because I'm throwing out all these assists. But I want to get to the point where I can just feel good about myself sitting on this beach. And that'd be cool. That'd be okay. And just enjoying a nice cup of tea. I think we in a mode, man. I think we in a mode. And I was in New Orleans, and I was talking to an older guy. He was like, all my friends are dead. He said because they all stopped. And the way we move, I think if I slow down now, I'm only 38, my problems might be happening to me because I've been moving hard, been flying for years. No, that's true. I don't feel that way. I think... No, no, no. I think what he's saying is interesting. It's like oftentimes, old people stop working. They just die. I get it. I get it. But I think it's because they're not putting the work in to switch their brain. Their brain just gets miserable because they need the work, but they're no longer doing it. But like, what if they made their new goal to be able to just enjoy things in life, man? I think yoga. Yeah, yoga stuff probably do that great transition. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, man. Go swimming. That's right. And now we going on spiritual retreats and stuff like that. That's what we do. Yeah. Like literally, I'm all into that now. So 10 years from now, when I really phase out, it's a wrap. Bye. Yeah. Peace, God. Peace, God. Plus what we done did it by then. Like we done did... I really do feel like in the next decade. Like if y'all thought the last decade was dope, the next decade where every... Just think about where we started 10 years from now. Yeah. And think about where we are right now. Just think about the last couple of years, everything that we are positioning ourselves to do. And think about where we're going to be in the next 10. Yeah. Seriously. Think about that. I want everybody to just sit back and think about that. Just think about where do you think these guys are going to be in the next decade based off how they're positioning themselves now. Yeah. Position. Just think about it. Just think about it. Like the tortures. You think things change just like that? Yeah. I don't forget how y'all was talking about me last year. Mother fuckers. I don't forget shit. They talk about me like that my whole life. I don't forget shit. So that's what you're going to learn how to do. Forget. I don't forget. I said watch this. Okay, Taylor.
