I'm having my annual turkey giveaway this Saturday. Really? Amongst Corn and South Carolina at Berkeley High School. You know how we do every year. It's been going on for a long time. I thank God that I'm blessed to do it another year. Fuck y'all who think that giving out turkeys is whack. Y'all are saying that from a place of privilege, because there's plenty of people out there who can't afford those butterballs, whatever the fuck we use. Who criticized giving out turkeys? Well, you just see people do that. I mean, I've seen that over the years. I see a lot of people say that's just something that people do when they get in certain positions. It's almost like a throwaway thing. There's no meaning behind it. You're just doing it to make yourself feel better. Holidays have a certain meaning. Having a Thanksgiving. Have you ever celebrated a Christmas or Thanksgiving alone? Have you ever celebrated a Christmas with no gifts? Have you ever celebrated a Thanksgiving with no turkey? Nothing makes you feel fucking sadder. Yeah, you're right. It is a fucking sad day. I remember I talked about this very podcast. I think last Christmas I didn't meet up with my family till later that day. I was looking for a place to eat. I ate by myself in a fucking hotel. Duvall told me that Duvall said he had a baby because of that. He said he wanted to have a child, but he never felt alone on holidays. Seems like a huge investment. But hey, sweetheart, I had you for two days a year, but thank you for being here. No, but in all seriousness, regardless if this is what these families do with the turkey or not, who knows. Maybe they could go flip the turkey somewhere else. We're not exactly sure. That's their business. But having people to be around for the holidays is crucial, man. I don't know what it is about. It's so weird. During any regular Thursday or regular Tuesday, I don't care if I'm by myself watching Netflix, but if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas and I know everybody's with their loved ones and I'm not, I felt so fucking lonely. Yeah, man. Why is that? Why are we influenced by what other people are doing? It's FOMO. It's really just FOMO. It's FOMO. It's literally all it is. It's the fear of missing out. It's a day where you know everybody's congregating, having a good motherfucking time and nobody invited you over. Nobody think you're a joke slap. Nobody likes your company. Nobody wants to talk sports with you. Damn, you're getting personal. Nobody wants to. I don't get that. I get invited. I am the person. I thought you were talking about me. No. I'm sitting around. Like, I'm going to be in most corner and I'm like, no, we're not going over there. No, we're not going over there. Oh, you're prissy. You're sediti. You got all the invites and you're picking out who's going to go to. Wow. Yo, a little extra sauce on that lap. But no, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. This Saturday at the Old Berkeley High Gymnasium, 406 West Main Street, most corner South Carolina. Local vendors would be on site. One turkey per household with valid ID. We'll see you for the sixth annual third eye awareness turkey giveaway this Saturday in most corner South Carolina. Question. Yes, sir. Why do you need ID to get a turkey? I don't know why Kente puts that on there. That's the dumbest shit in the world. I really don't. Kente has that on there. I don't even know why I read that just now. It's really stupid. Who gives a fuck? We got to get, here, here's an ID that shows you I can't afford a turkey. No, motherfucker. I already gave a turkey to a Jenkins. Yes. You're related to the Jenkins family. Exactly. Like, come on, y'all. By the way, even if I could afford a turkey, I would go get a free one. Yeah. Why the fuck wouldn't you? How much is a turkey? I don't know how much a turkey is, Taylor. They're expensive. Like, 50? They're not cheap. 100? No, they're not 100. 50, for real? Probably, and probably you got to think things given that, you know, they put the prices up on them. Oh, you think they hike up turkey? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, listen, God bless. We'll see you on Saturday. Now, where do we start? Well, I think one place we can start at is, and it's inspired by turkey, but... They got 100 or something. Yeah. No. Let me see. Turkeys cost 100 fucking dollars? Amen. Butterball premium. That's just as a $1.49, Taylor. Because that's some organic fresh shit. That's some fake shit. That's just butterball, man. Let's fill up this butterball. This butterball premium all-natural young turkey. 22 to 24 was a $1.49 a pound. Exactly. So, it's 24 pounds. So, you're getting a 100-pound turkey? What's 24 times a dollar? 100-pound turkey is a raptor. $35? Wow. You eat it? $35. $35. $35. All right. So, where do we start? So, I think a good place to start is because we're talking about things that not everybody can have, right? And, you know, turkey on Thanksgiving is something not everybody can have. Hairlines are things that not everybody can have. And I know that you're going through a little bit of hairline withdrawal. No. I know you don't want to admit it, but I'm looking at the posts. You know what I mean? Thou doth protest too much. You know what I mean? It's kind of leaning into a good bit. It is a good bit. Don't get me wrong. I like the trap to pay. Trap to pay. I like the alliteration. Very good. We can hashtag it. But I feel deep down when this technology gets good enough that it's literally just a cream and then your hair comes back. It's Chiapet. I feel like you're in. Let me tell you something about Shalemani God. Anything I've shitted on is because I've tried it and it didn't work for me. Now, let's talk about it, right? Okay. Uh-oh. I did PRP. I did PRP. Wait, what is that? PRP. I don't know what you thought it was. Honestly, I was like, you're trying to grow titties, bro? What are you trying to do? What the fuck is PRP? Transitions. What is that? Yeah, PRP. Platelet-rich plasma. Plasma, right? Yeah. And it's a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors. Your body uses those. That's what Kobe did in his knees. Yeah. So what Dr. Natasha is saying, this is Dr. Natasha Sandy. Yeah. One of my trusted people in my cabinet. Yeah. She'd been telling me about PRP because I would always see all of these people in there. Like, people go there for dermatology. Yeah. But then, like, I would see all of these guys in there. And I'm like, all these guys come in for dermatology. And she's like, yeah, but, you know, a lot of people nowadays are doing PRP. Right. And I'm like, well, what is PRP? And so she just broke it down for you. It's when they draw the blood out of your body and then they put it in like this blender and then they spin it up and then it creates like this yellow plasma and then they take the yellow plasma and they shoot it back into, I guess, whatever it is you want to grow. Right. So for me, they shot it back into my hairline right here and shot it back into a couple of ball spots up top. Tory Lane's got it. Tory Lane's admitted he got it this morning. Yeah. And he's still lying about whatever his procedure was. You know? But I did it. The reason I stopped doing it because you got to do it six times. Yeah. That shit hurts, bro. Really? For me, I don't like needles anyway. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So to be getting needles in my fucking head, you got to really sit back and think to yourself, why am I doing this? Yeah. This is not a life or death situation. God blessed me with the type of head that is good for a baldie. Just keep getting the shave, bro. Yeah. Like I'm cool. What am I going to do with a hairline? What kind of hairstyle am I going to rock? Do I really want to season that bad? No. Yeah. I don't see you with a shezer. What would you do? I see like a little fro almost. The fact that I couldn't think of that? Think of what I would do? Yeah. I don't want it. And I wouldn't do the fro. That's too much maintenance. Like a high top phase. I'm going to get up and go person. Yeah. I can't be waking up in the morning with the pick and all that shit. I lived that part of my life. I experienced that. Yeah. But what about that black power pick? That would be hard. That shit would be hard, dude. That would be hard. Not in front. You're like a cool little mental health pick. Like massages your head. No, the black power. I thought about it. I thought about it. It would be real dope to have a fro. fro picking out. Nobody's doing that no more. With the black power fist, that shit would be so timely for this climate. Yeah. But I'm cool on it. You know what else is good for a colder climate? Hair. That's what I got hands. It's your wool hands. I am on the pills. And plus you look stupid. I'm on the pills to not lose my hair. You're talking so low. Really? You started losing your hair? Like 10 years ago. And I got on the pills. Really? So there stops it. Yeah. You know micro-rubin? You know micro-rubin? What? Micro-rubin. Yes. Micro-rubin with the same doctors as LeBron. Well, he must have got different, he got some white privilege treatment or something like that because his hair looks official. And LeBron's hair looks like AstralTurk. LeBron's shit don't look official because we've seen him without hair. No. It doesn't look good because it doesn't look good. He has two bald spots in the back of his head. Even now? Even now. And then the front of his hair just kind of like slid back. It was really odd. You didn't see this when he was... When I was a receding joint. No. He got hit during the game. Oh, yeah. Anthony Davis told him... Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, get that shit back. And by the way, LeBron, you're making too much money to have that kind of trap tool. Especially in LA where you know the best. I understand it. But in Los Angeles, you have to be able to get the best hair. You can get the best trap tool pay that money can offer. So you're saying that if it was light switch, you wouldn't do it. Why does a Nike make LeBron a real fucking trap tool pay? What? Shouldn't that be the next thing? The trap tool pay with the Nike logo on it? Oh, the real fly net. That'd be sick, dude. That would be sick. Imagine that LeBron... Dude, how have they not got on this? Word. Because LeBron's shit right now has made a draft fit. The shit is right now. The shit he went right now is a draft fit goddamn trap tool pay. That's what that is. Dude, he needs hair though. He did go bald. That looks horrible. I don't remember his bald. Certain people don't look good bald. He shaved it once and he was in the gym. Yeah, my little brother. My little brother, Julian. He got a bald now because he started losing his shit. Yeah. He way younger than me. And he sent us a picture of his new baby and it was just his bald hair with the mustache. And I hit him back like, bro, you already trusting your baby with strangers? I'm like, whose granddad is holding your fucking child? Who's that bad? Oh my God. Let me see if I got a picture. He looks crazy. He look like he is mad that they built in the wall at the border. Hold on. He looks Mexican? Yes. Let me see it. Hold on. Hold on. Let me see if I can find it, man. Let me see this. I'm going to be firing his ass up next week. Anyway, the... So yeah, so we... What? Let me see it. What? You got it? Okay. Bro, that's your younger brother, dude? Bro, he's like 33. Dude, he looks like Ving Reigns, dude. Bro. Your younger brother looks like he's about to beat the shit out of Tyrese. Bro, this is nuts. Bro. That's not your younger brother. That's got to be that app. There's no way. I've never seen a black guy age worse in my life, bro. This is astonishing, dude. He's not no 33. 33 in Celsius? This motherfucker got to be 33. Bro, he loves you too, bro. Listen, I love him, but he needed... Hey, bro, you needed... So you see what shirt he's wearing? He's aging like flash, bro. He didn't look like this at your wedding, bro. That was 10 years ago. Well, five years ago. Shit happens. I never thought that... No, that's not playing, bro. That's not your younger brother, bro. Not because the facial hair... Is your facial hair that gray? In parts. Because my dad got a full gray beard. Charlemagne. Charlemagne. Charlemagne. Charlemagne. Charlemagne. Charlemagne. There's no way. Yo, there's no way. He got to shave all that down, bro. For what? He's a handsome guy. He's not... He's a handsome guy. That's a handsome guy, but he looks too old. Don't even look like... Let me see this. No, they put the old man app on him. They put the old man app on him. This is the old man app. You piece of shit. That's the old man app, but it's only... It's only a year older than what he actually is. You know, you can put the age on it. So, he's at the 34. Bro. Don't even look like... Don't even look like you want to come here. Hey, come here, yo, bro. Let me talk to you. Let me talk to you, yo, bro. I might have a real picture in there. Let me see. Why'd you do that to him, bro? What's up, dawg? He just sent me a picture, too. Yeah, no, because he looked... How long? No, there's no way someone could age that bad in 10 years, bro. Shit. There's no way. Bro, you ever seen a crackhead? What do you mean, white women age bad? You think? I don't date any of them when they get old. What do you mean, you dated a white woman? My girl now is white. No. I thought you gave up for him for length. I did. Then I came back, bro, just like Lent. You know what I mean? I just had a little sabbatical. Jesus showed me the way. Appreciate you, Jesus. Are we going to talk cap? We can talk cap and Antonio Brown. Okay, is cap out here capping? It's cap capping. By the looks of things, no. I mean, by the looks of things, but if there was a waiver that he had to sign that was going to cause him to have to give up his rights to possibly sue in the future. Right. Nah, that's not cap. But sue in the future, I believe it said for the time between the settlement and the... It was the same thing he did last time. I think he did last time. Last time he sued for the two years that he was out of the league. So he got a settlement for that. He could take him back to court again in a couple of years. Right. So I guess I think what it said is you can't sue from the time between the settlement and the tryout. I don't think it's anything about after that. I heard it was for future rights. Let's break the cap situation, Duncan. I can tell you, I went through a rollercoaster of emotions with this, right? Yeah. Last week, we heard about the tryout. Everybody was saying, oh, tryouts don't happen on Saturdays. Why is the league doing this now? This is how I looked at it. I looked at it as Colin Kaepernick has been black-balled out of the league for the past few years, right? I think that the NFL knows that. The owners in the league know that. When you have somebody like a Jay-Z who's now got a seat at this table and he's in there constantly pushing, right? Not just Jay-Z, but people on the outside, the whole I'm With Cap campaign saying how we won't cap back in the league is just a problem that won't go away and Jay-Z letting them know like, look, you can do partnerships with me all day, but that's not going to make this problem go away until you do right by cap, right? So, I looked at it from the Fox News perspective, and the people hate when I say I watch Fox News, but I watch Fox News because I like to see the other perspective because I like to see how people see things, right? Other people see things. The dude from Fox News was on TV yelling and screaming, ranting and raving, saying special privileges. Why are they doing a workout for him on a Saturday? Why is it at Atlanta Falcon Stadium? Why is he able to pick his own receivers? Just yelling and screaming, all of these different things. He was mad. Meanwhile, the other side is looking at it suspiciously as they should. From the perspective of, what the fuck is the NFL up to? Why would the NFL have this happening on a Saturday? The reason all this shit happened in an unorthodox way is because it was an unorthodox method of getting it pushed through. It literally was somebody who hasn't seated at the table telling these motherfuckers like, no, this shit is not going to go away till y'all give Cap a try out. Explain the Saturday thing real quick. Most workouts are on Tuesday. I guess that's because that's when the team would have the most time. Hypothetically, a coach would be able to fly out on a Tuesday to watch, whereas on Saturday they're probably prepping for Sunday's game. I was also told by some players that coaches don't go to workouts. They would never go. A coach is working 24-7. It depends on the player. Coaches and GMs might show up. They would send their staff and I guess some people believe that you don't want to send your staff on a Saturday because you might be doing game prep still and it could take away. NFL scouts are always out on Friday. It's this thing called college football that they go and watch people all the time. The Saturday thing I think was kind of like a moot point. From what I was told, it was three owners specifically agreed to do this. Once the three agreed to do it, the NFL sent out this memo letting them know that it's going to be this practice on Saturday. They were hoping for the spectacle. They wanted this big grand thing for Kat. You know what I'm saying? Because after you've been black ball for three leagues for three years, don't you think he kind of deserves that? Yeah. And I don't think that the NFL would put together this workout and have all of these teams come out and not sign him. They'd look even crazier than they do right now. They'd look even crazier. Now, my perspective of it was this. I wanted Cap to show up. I wanted him to work out. I wanted him to get back in the league. Not because I necessarily want him back in the league, but if that's what makes him happy. Because I think Colin Kaepernick is bigger than football. And I think that if somebody has shown you who they are, believe them. And I don't like this whole rhetoric of you know well Colin really loves football or Antonio Brown really loves football and there's no other place for them to go. I get that. I understand loving something so much that you just want to be a part of it. But not at the expense of your peace of mind. Not at the expense of your integrity. Not at the expense of you having to kowtow to some motherfuckers that don't like you. I'm going to start believing, go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated. You know what I mean? Like Antonio Brown literally said fuck the NFL. You know, they're a plantation. I'll never play there again a couple weeks ago. Yesterday he's apologizing to Robert Kraft. You know what I'm saying? That hurt my feelings. And the reason that hurt my feelings is because until one of these players says fuck the NFL and means it there's going to continue to be brothers in this position. Now, with Cap Cap allegedly got the waiver on Wednesday. If he got the waiver on Wednesday and it had that language in it one or two things should happen. Your lawyer should push back. That's what we get contracts all the time. Like if there's something in the contract you don't like you take it to fuck out, right? Especially if you actually do plan to show up and go work out. Like you send the contract back. They said the contract got back Saturday 12.03 p.m. So I don't know why you would wait so long to see the contract. Four days to send it back. If that's true. Also if the NFL came to you... Three days for one clause. If the NFL came to you and they said it's a take it or leave it deal fucking leave it. That's it. Like you're Colin Kaepernick. You can't even if you do love football that much you got to understand what you mean the people at this point and you represent something way bigger than you. You can't bow down to the league's demands because you don't have to. You're not some poor kid. You got the Nike endorsement. You got book deals. You got a TV show they would do. You're in a position to where you don't have to do that. So if people see you conforming to their demands even though you know that they're doing you wrong. What kind of message is that? I wouldn't have showed up at all. If that was in my waiver and they were trying to get me to sign my rights away and my lawyer pushed back and they told me no and then they said some take it or leave it or shit I wouldn't show up at all and I'll be on the internet with this waiver showing this shit in the air letting people know these motherfuckers are still trying to collude against me look at this bullshit they're trying to make me sign you know what I mean? Just out of curiosity, hypothetically speaking if we put ourselves in the NFL shoes and let's assume there's no nefarious intent by the NFL let's assume he goes in there he speaks to these three very influential owners gets everybody on the same page and they all agree to literally give Colin the best chance to make a team matter of fact let's say we've had agreements from multiple teams let's say we've had agreements from multiple teams that they're truly interested that if he plays decently they think that they'll actually sign them right? Maybe that clause is in there because they're going to go leaps and bounds to give you the best chance to make a team something we've never done for any player in history we've never had a single player 25 team tryout the whole world is there watching you have we're going to do it in the Atlanta falcon stadium we're going to do it on in a black city like Atlanta this shit was set up like a goddamn fantasy like I landed a black city in the world you one man 25 teams are here to watch you succeed do well best type best case scenario we want you to make a team and not only do we want you to make a team we've kind of spoken to owners that said they would sign you right? he was going to get signed so for me the languages for me the languages we're coming and again it could be wrong this is just hypothetical speaking but one way of looking at it is we're going above and beyond to give you the best chance to make a team so you can't sue us after this if you don't make the team because we're literally doing everything things we've never done for anybody else if you still sue us after that what the fuck well guess what if I'm Colin Kaepernick I see what you're saying and you make a great point potentially a hypothetical but if I'm Colin Kaepernick I'm his team I can't trust that I have no reason to trust that and this is what we were talking about on Flagrant there is so much distrust I believe from both sides like the NFL put that clause in there because they don't trust Kaep Kaep doesn't want to do it because they don't trust the NFL and you know what he shouldn't both of them are absolutely correct for the last three years absolutely and that's my whole thing right but now you have that toxic relationship you guys are never going to be able to work and that's why I agree with what you're saying which is if you know you're not going to do with it fuck him and you got to meet it you can't say fuck him but I want to play it I want the owners to call me and stop me it's getting out after this week Colin Kaepernick's mentality and a lot of other brothers in the league mentality and a lot of black people that watch football's mentality should be fucking if that waiver is really that but you know why the reason nobody will ever say fuck it because there never was a clear cut boycott called on the NFL by Colin Kaepernick Colin is the person Colin is the person that has to lead that charge like I saw my man Artemis Gordon talking about how you know Colin he's a leader whether he wants to be or not so eventually he has to say something that's the truth you can't be a silent leader yeah where are we going where are we going what do you want us to do that's it how would you like us to protest you made the decision not to talk to the press for the last couple years last three years that's your decision but don't be surprised if your message is being confused or conflated when you're not there to control the narrative even when you talked all this shit about control the narrative and how important that was to have your press or the press access to this this tryout you've never cared about press before I would like to say that's not controlling the narrative and what I mean by that is controlling the narrative is not doing exactly what people thought you was going to do right like a lot of people were betting that Colin wasn't going to show up I was hearing words like self-sabotage being thrown around like he'll find a way to mess this up people thought people thought my beautiful sister who's mad at me right now Nessa they thought that she was going wild out this week you know what I mean I mean we're just not seeing out of eye on this situation but you know I don't worry about things like that simply because when I love somebody and I consider somebody family I know even if we have disagreements you know we'll always be family and I think man one thing that really bothers me about the situation just a side note it's so divisiveness between black people in this situation right people feel like Colin people feel like they got to be team JZ you understand what I'm saying and when you have that kind of divisiveness you got to be very careful of people who really really really want that divisiveness to continue to happen so when they know you know Colin and Nessa feel away or they know you know J is over here you got all these different people coming back saying certain things oh well you know J you know Colin them said this you know J and them said this you know oh you see this person is against you you know this person was speaking about you and it's such a lack of trust from everybody and you're already naturally paranoid and suspicious of everybody's intentions that you just be like fuck everybody I'm going to stick over here with my motherfuckers and kick it with my crew you can't trust anyone and I think people use this divisiveness to really bring down great movements because everybody knows people are stronger together you know I'm saying and you got to be very careful about people like that like don't come to me telling me what somebody said about me when I'm when I'm going through something you understand I'm saying don't come to me and tell me what somebody said about me when I'm going through something I may feel away I'll give you an example if me and you had an issue right and no it's happened it wasn't even a real issue when all that shit was going on and everybody was like oh you need to stop doing the brilliant idiots podcast and this and that it was people coming to me trying to tell me how toxic Andrew Schultz is you know what I'm saying and in that moment I'm like maybe it is toxic and you said one thing to me you said one thing to me that brought me back to reality you said are you saying it's my fault are you playing it on me bro you said it and I said he's absolutely I pushed back a little but I was like yeah but you was laughing and I'm like you was making jokes but no nigga you said it well you didn't say nigga but you said it but you said it and that's the truth to the matter people will take advantage they will take advantage when the emotions are high and that's why you can't come to me you can't come to me even if I have an opinion about who I respect and love because he respects and loves somebody I consider family which is Nessa even if I have an opinion about him that may not be the general consensus or whatever whatever you can't come to me and tell me anything bad about Nessa I'm not going to let anybody talk about it you're not going to come to me and tell me anti-black anything like you know what I'm saying I'm not going to allow those conversations to happen those are family conversations that happen amongst people who I consider family you know what I mean when I saw Nessa and I saw Captain Tyler Farrell I'm like we're supposed to be family if you got a problem with something then I said call me and check me tell me we have that kind of relationship I want to have the proper information so I can go out there and defend y'all when need be it is a very it is a very tricky situation especially when these type of things happen because two things can be true we often speak about this on a podcast you can support everything Cap has done and think that he didn't handle this in the best way possible let's get back to that it's two reasons number one before I knew about the waiver I was just like yo this is ridiculous just go to Atlanta and do the work out if you want to play why did you wait until the day of to move it to a high school and you can't possibly expect this professional organization where 25 teams showed up you dealing with a bunch of rich motherfuckers with egos they came to Falcon Stadium and now all of a sudden you switching it at the last minute telling them to come to some high school an hour something away I didn't know they gonna give you the ass to kiss you gotta know they gonna throw the middle finger to you now I was happy to hear that eight other teams went but if I'm a owner Rex Ryan said this shit is real Rex Ryan was like I don't want this circus I don't want this circus and I'm not saying that people talk about respectability and respectability politics and I saw them getting at Stephen A for what Stephen A was saying some of what Stephen A was saying is true you gotta remember at the end of the day you're the one trying to get a job we're not bosses I don't own eye heart radio you are asking to be an employee you're asking to be an employee why would you want to continue to work out and work for these people that are continuing to oppress you now and when I say continuing just this week alone if what they say about the waiver is true and they want to cap the signage right away if what they say about the NFL saying you gotta leave it you got two hours is true cap should be giving them his dick to suck fuck the NFL like there's no reason to be down there on Atlanta on Saturday playing their game these people can't play you unless you allow yourself to continue to be played but speaking of football this is Charlie Brown continuing to run the football Lucy moving the motherfucker that's what I see when I saw this like my brother's being in that position all that is true if the NFL did this whole thing to fuck over Kaepernick which seems like a lot I truly believe they were going to get him a job they were calling it a trojan horse that's what is that so you get who's the horse the trojan horse would be the big workout right so in the trojan horse they had the trojans were inside the horse they offered as a gift it goes inside and then once it's in there you got you so what would be the trojan horse is the workout you sign this paperwork you go through the workout but we got you that you can't sue us in the future but you got a team I mean yeah if you got a job and bawled out they have no reason to but wasn't I wouldn't trust him if I was capped because check it out what if I sign that contract go work out get signed 100% no no no no grand open and grand close you're 100% right I just don't think it's the most unreasonable thing if I'm the NFL I would actually be open about it yeah that was our deal we're going to do everything in our power to get you on a team we've got the whole fucking league to go see it and in exchange for that you got to not sue us if you believe in your talent so much that you are going to wow these coaches and trust us this is the NFL we forgive shit people out here beating their wives every other day they're on teams every other year right Karim Hunt, Tyree Kill still on teams so it's like we don't care as long as you bawled out NFL is very clear about that we're going to do everything in our power to get you on a team we've never done this before all you got to do is wave your right to sue us after we give you the best case scenario to be on a team that's a reasonable deal can't trust him if I'm capped though man hey, cap? absolutely not you know who would take that deal in a heartbreak? Antonio Brown what do you think he was apologizing for? I'll work out Antonio Brown looked at the New England Patriots on Saturday and was like he ain't got no more fucking receivers John Gordon's gone, Gronk is retired the Patriots started with all the best receivers everybody talking about their receiving call Brady's going to break all these records they have no receivers now except for Julian Edelman Antonio was like shit fuck all that king I am sorry I am ready to come back and work on that goddamn plantation that should hurt my heart though cause you went so hard man you can't go so hard and then come back like that you can't do it this shit sounded crazy why do you think they do it so emotionally? you said it you just said it but why do you think they operate when they're so emotional? do you think a lot of these guys are just young? do we underestimate their age? hit the nail on the head they are doing it emotionally they're moving off of emotion and not strategy that's why I always tell people move off strategy and not emotion because when you move off emotion you make a mistake that's why therapy is so good that's why your spiritual counselor is so good that's why learning your breathing exercises is so good whenever you get those emotions those feelings are natural I'm not telling you not to build that shit cause you will feel it but feel your feels and when you feel your feels and you feel that anger that jealousy that envy that sadness just feel it breathe it out there's a story my buddy worked for my buddy worked for a basketball team and there was this player that missed this wide open jump shot to win the game and he was in the locker room and they were all about to leave my buddy walked up to him he's like are you ready to go? he goes the player goes nah I just gotta sit here and deal with this I can't leave here until I've dealt with this cause when I leave here I'm not gonna be thinking about it anymore and that was rude yo I really respected it he took the time if it was an hour if it was two hours whatever it was he took the time to go through all the fucking feelings so when he left that that building that was in the past instead of like I'm sure you and I have done and so many people listening right now are feeling upset about something trying to distract the weak the month yes mother fucker what are you talking about I'm just doing it right now over a couple mother fuckers years I know a couple of people not getting turkeys that's right listen Antonio Brown tweeted out imagine conforming to a system giving it a hundred percent to see them treat me like this is unfairly making money off my sweat and blood I'm never playing that shit treat black people the worst clear my name and go fuck yourself now fast forward a couple weeks later I apologize Mr. Kraft Mr. Kraft not even Robert Mr. Kraft I apologize sincerely to you and your organization all I wanted to be was an asset to the organization sorry for the bad media and the drama thank you sincerely AB now this is after he had a meeting with the NFL he had a meeting with the league was it this week or last week he had a meeting about the sexual assault allegations I believe it was okay so don't think for one moment this was not the conversation you shit it on us now go out there and publicly motherfucking apologize come on man so they hit him with a tap dance yes they made him tap dance that's what I'm saying they say hey go listen wow let's just look at the initial statement elite footwork exactly you conform number one you said imagine conforming to a system giving it a hundred percent to see them treat me like this you conformed after saying they treated you unfairly making money off my sweating blood fuck the NFL and tells a brother says that it means it y'all will always be in these positions and then I'll never play in that shit treat black people the worst if you saw what happened with cap this week they still doing that clear my name and go fuck yourself your name still hasn't been cleared Tony oh so what the fuck I don't like seeing us in those positions cabinet water couldn't take a shirt which I have a lot of shirt um I wanted to shout out the brand is not what I forgot the name but you want to couldn't take a shirt hmm couldn't take two things with that you're not a slave you know I'm saying we got to stop doing that we got to stop comparing you give some background to who couldn't take from the movie roots you know I mean and I'm gonna get to that but just overall you're not a slave right right you know I'm saying like we got us we have to stop doing that we have to stop you know coming up with these slave analogies when it comes to these positions that we're choosing to be in to be in the same thing like we call everybody a Nazi we call everybody a slave relate everything to slavery it's like anytime it's I understand we're piggybacking on these horrific things yes to bring attention to the thing that we're in but it's really disrespectful to slaves and people who are victims of Nazis I don't give a fuck about the respectability politics what y'all talk about oh you shouldn't award that you should have dressed appropriately not fuck the NFL I'm talking about my ancestors yes all right you're not a slave that's number one number two Kuta Kinte tried to escape the plantation four times they cut his fucking foot off so he couldn't run no more so if you're Colin Kaepernick you shouldn't be trying to go back to the plantation Kuta Kinte didn't try to work exactly you shouldn't be trying to go back to the plantation unless you're going back to burn that bitch down that's that period you can't call you so you can't Kuta with a ran Kuta with a saw that waiver and ran Kuta with a saw that motherfucking take her to leave it and ran it's you know I mean wouldn't even gotten he wouldn't even wanted to go back no if you feel it's such a racist and horrible institution why are you fighting to be part of it and I felt that way for the past couple years I've had these conversations with Kaep I've had these conversations with Nessa I understand the sentiment of you know him wanting to play because this is something that he's been wanting to do since he was a little boy you know I saw the letter that he wrote in fourth grade that was going to be the Nike ad you know it was a letter from his fourth grade self you know saying how he wanted to play football he wanted to play for the packers the Niners talking about his size when he was a kid and how big he was going to be when he was going to get older I saw all of that I understand it I didn't like the ad because once again I don't know why you're trying to pull out the heart strings of these NFL motherfuckers you know what I'm saying but yo it comes a point in time where you're not that little boy no more you're not that young man no more who wanted to play football your destiny is bigger than football Kaep right like Kaep has a chance right now to lead in a real way and then I said it on the radio and I said it here on the podcast and I don't care about Kaep's NFL career anymore it was a point where I wanted wanted it to because I know it would make him happy the reason I don't care anymore is because I will stick to the fact that I think he's bigger than football and when it comes to activism when it comes to him taking a stand against police brutality and the injustices that police are facing it black people are facing it the hands of the police I will stand with Kaep all day on that I will even stand with Kaep my heart said that's not you know you wouldn't I was about to say I would stand with Kaep if he boycotts the NFL I would definitely still be sneaking to watch my cowboys but publicly I would publicly I would say fuck the NFL with Colin Kaepernick okay if he if he decided to boycott because guess what there's no other option at this point if I'm Kaep I don't give a fuck about the league no more and he shouldn't they tried to play him again and as a black man you got to look at that black players in the league black players watching if everything that they're saying is true that happened this week you have to ask yourself some hard fucking questions and the question is do we really need the motherfucking NFL yes yes it's good I mean it is good like especially now if you're a black man especially now you are what we were witnessing the rise of the black quarterback four of the MVP candidates are black males well obviously males right but they're black guys that are killing it in the league I mean what an amazing year for the NFL matter of fact it makes it that much harder for Kaepernick's case when the NFL is so like is so strongly promoting these four black quarterbacks that are absolutely killing it like this should have happened a couple years ago if it did if Kaep should have really been on some fuck the NFL you see how they treating me as a black man they're clearly trying to blackball me that's when Eric Rhee can use terms like sell out because he can say y'all are really sell out if y'all allow this to continue to happen to our brother because all it's going to take right now is a few players imagine them guys you just name imagine those guys you just name I didn't name any but I think we know who are all talking about Lamar Jackson Lamar Russell Wilson Patrick Mahoney what's his name? Patrick Mahoney Deshawn Watson even Dak Prescott like imagine I mean Cam Newton's not even playing this is how great black quarterbacks have gotten in the NFL say again quarter I know he said corner great black quarterbacks have gotten in the NFL is that we're not even mentioning Cam Cam has been out this whole season we don't even know what's going on we're not even missing them it is the greatest time in history for black quarterbacks and Cabernic is out here going I deserve a job they're trying to not give me a job he can't even use the narrative of they don't want black people to be quarterbacks because clearly they do they're putting all the money into the black quarterbacks this will never happen but imagine if all five of those black quarterbacks that we're not playing this week this week this Sunday coming up if y'all did what y'all said what happened if what's in this waiver is true and y'all really did this to Cab we're not playing this motherfucking week we still don't know if what's in the waiver is wrong to do to Cab some people might think it's a very fair trade yeah that's true too I just think there's distrust between Cab and the NFL which is completely reasonable so you can't assume the best case scenario and the best case scenario intent right so if you're Cab you have to go now they're trying to fuck me but they might literally just be going yo this is the deal here's the thing shows even if they were trying to fuck him yeah you have a lawyer well I'm sure the lawyer told them the lawyer was like listen this will remove your right to sue after the fact once you sign this yeah you can have this and you amend it I'm sure they tried to push back I'm sure they tried to push back I'll send it back on a Saturday at 12 or 3 p.m. when you work out of that day I'll be honest with you my suspicion is Cab doesn't want to play I don't think he wants to play I think if he wanted to play football there are other options for him I'm sure he could have played in Canada in a hard beat I don't think he wants to play football and I think that that's fine because he's you know obviously doing way more for his community outside of football but if he really wanted to play football and wants to play football I think that he would take advantage of this opportunity no matter how fucked up it seemed like it was from the end of the day I'm not going to go so far to say it I bet you if a team offered him a spot I bet you if a team offered him a roster spot and if I was Roger Goodell and I would talk to every single team in the league I'd be like please do me this favor please offer him a roster spot I guarantee he won't take it I'm not going to go so far to say he doesn't want to play but if he doesn't want to play and that's why I thought Saturday if he does want to play he's got a very strange way of showing it that's what I thought Saturday after getting more of this information which I still don't know if the information is real because I've seen so many different shit I've seen a waiver that Cap signed in 2011 that waiver doesn't look too much different from the one that he signed in 2017 but as I was telling people even if that language was in the contract in 2011 he sued them once and he may have to sue them again I wouldn't give away that right if I was Cap either well if you already sued once and then you got a settlement isn't that what a settlement is for at the NFL's fault though maybe the NFL should have cut him a big enough check to where hey you good right you can't just give him back pay for the past couple years they should have cut him a check to where they made it to where we're done here I thought that's what it was he just got paid for the past he got paid back pay for the two years that he missed and because it's wrong it's wrongful it's employment discrimination so they basically settled a lawsuit on employment discrimination meaning he accepted an amount of money to no longer sue them or employment discrimination I don't think he ever said that he would no longer sue them I'm going to be honest with you I don't want to misconstrue that because I can see people that know the story better than me yelling at the podcast right now I don't know from what I knew he sued for back pay okay let's say hypothetically and again neither of us know and I'm truly just trying to understand here but you sue for back pay the NFL goes listen we're not going to admit that we didn't we kept you out the league but we're going to pay you for back pay he accepts the money for back pay now you can no longer sue in my opinion now you can no longer sue for not being allowed to play because we already handled that and you accepted the money well that's the NFL fault NFL didn't put that in the fire pit clearly sure sure and that's bad bad job by that and again we could be messing this whole thing up but it's also wait you're going to sue us again for the same thing we paid you for hey I'm Colin Kaepernick yeah go ahead Alex so I really think this was his way of speaking up because when he took the settlement he had to do the NDA hold on a second we got to turn on his mic go so when he took the settlement he had to do the NDA so he couldn't speak about it and the fact I was suspicious that the NFL settled because they'll never settle they have so much money they could have just kept going until he was bankrupt so I think there was really something in that case and so this was his way of balling out everybody sees it and then if no team picks him up that's like uh proof for everyone that he's um they colluded to keep him out I really think this was just his way of being able to speak without speaking Alex I don't think you're wrong but my thing is this I wouldn't be signing none of that shit if there's something in the collusion case that exposes the NFL and exposes the fucking NFL you can't love playing football that much hold on hold on hold on hold on one second but you don't have to go through with the case don't take the settlement find out what's in it just blow the NFL up let's just put it like this Al let's say I stop you from coming on the road with me filming the shows etc but I also stop you from filming anybody else's shows I don't admit it but I'm doing that you sue me I go listen I'm not gonna let this go to Shroud because I did some fucked up shit. But fine, here's the money for all the times that you should have been able to come on the road and film with me. You see, you agree to take the money, it's over. Then two months later, you sue me for not taking you on the road. I'm like, motherfucker, we just settled this. I just paid you millions of dollars. Why are you fucking suing me? Yeah, but that's like if you said I can't go on the road because I'm not good enough to be on the road. So it's like, you're making a lie like, oh, nobody's keeping you out of the league. We just don't want your talent. And so if you told me, hey, I'm not good. And then I fucking make a movie after and show the world I'm amazing. That's what I think he wanted to project to the world. Show him how good he is. I understand what he wanted to. What I'm saying is- But he shouldn't have signed the settlement. I shouldn't have agreed to- It's some bitch ass shit, to be honest with you, because you just got the money. The NFL could have bankrupted you up, bro. Thank you. In fact, Nessa gonna swing on you. Talking some bitch ass shit. Listen, what I'm saying is this. Nessa gonna swing on you. It is what it is. Oh, clang. It is what it is. And again, it's I could be completely understanding this entirely wrong, 100% wrong. OK, I feel like I've been very vocally supportive of cap on the podcast. OK, but if you accept the money for the lawsuit and still want to retain the rights to sue for the same thing you accept the money from, that shouldn't be the thing that stops you from going to the audition or whatever the fuck try out. You are it if your ability to sue for the thing you already got paid for is the thing that stops you from trying out. You don't want to try out. If your ability for the right, if your ability to sue. And again, we could be wrong about this, but if your ability to sue for the same thing that you already got paid for after suing is what you don't like about the contract. And that stops you from trying out. You don't really want to try out, because you already got paid for that. They're not going to pay you again. I think that's his insurance policy. Like I would not I would not relinquish my right to sue the NFL if I was Colin Kaepernick under any circumstance. But you already sued and agreed to take the money. I might have to get y'all again. Yeah. I don't even know if there's legal precedent for that. I might have to get y'all again. He only got paid for back pay. You got paid back pay. So if you keep me out another two years when I'm a free agent for no reason, y'all see I can play, y'all see I can ball, y'all see I'm in shape, I want to motherfucking play and you still keep me out the league. All right, let me hit y'all up again. I'm gonna stay in y'all motherfucking faces. I'm gonna stay up under y'all skin. But my thing is this. That's corny, bro. It comes to point in time. That's corny. You accepted the money, bro? Like, I'm sorry, dude. You accept the money, bro? Money comes with a cost. A settlement comes with a cost. You got to settle. That's why it's called settlement. It's not called here's whatever you want. It's called a settlement. Your wife goes, I want half, right? Yeah. You go, you get a quarter. Okay, we settle at a quarter. That's a settlement. Yeah, I mean. After your wife gets a quarter, she comes to you and goes, I want the other quarter. You be like, get the fuck out of here. But you got to negotiate that, though. He did. No, they negotiated back pay for Colin Kaepernick. Right. And they clearly didn't think about what to do moving forward because they can't say, look, we're gonna pay him in the future. We're gonna pay him in the future because we really are trying to keep him out the league. They can't say that. So I can't pay you for the next five, 10 years because that shows, look, we're really just paying you to fucking go away. That's a good point. So being able, I can't pay you to say, hey, we really want you to go away. I'm just gonna give you this back pay. So the NFL is so fucking stupid. That NFL law team could be, quite possibly, the stupidest group of lawyers that are connected to billionaires that I've ever seen in my entire life. Why the fuck did you not see this as a possibility? Why even settle something that you know can open right back up the second he walks out of there? And you know what? Who knows to Colin's team for getting the NFL to pay him for something they're gonna get him to pay it again? Colin's team might be the most brilliant lawyers who outsmarted these NFL people, the NFL law team, or whatever the fuck it's called. This is why the brilliant idiots is one of the best shows going today. Because in the span of 45 seconds, Andrew went from saying, fuck that shit, bitch ass niggas calling me to, oh. I didn't say the N-word. No, you didn't say the N-word. To, oh, that was brilliant. I will react to what I understand. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I didn't realize that Colin's team is setting up the NFL the whole time. Yeah, in a way, yeah. I just, yo. I thought the settlement was, you're not allowed to sue us anymore after this. That's why I thought, that's why we're paying you. No, no, no, no, no. Well, why the fuck would they agree to that? That is the stupidest agreement in the history of law. Because I'm paying you for back pay. If I give you more money than just the back pay, then I'm telling you, we don't want, imagine I give you $50 million and I say, okay, you got to sign this, but you're never playing in the league again. You know what I'm saying? Like you relinquish your rights to play in the NFL, whatever, whatever. The NFL can never say that. They can never do that because that proves we don't want you in the league. So only thing we can do is pay you for the back pay. But you can put something in that settlement that says, hey, you can no longer sue us after we pay you. You can no longer sue us in the future for job discrimination or blah, blah, blah. I don't know whether the job thing was collusion or collusion, whatever it is. You can no longer sue. You could put that, you could put whatever you want in a contract. Clearly, right? But they did not put that in there. Or maybe Collins lawyers were smart enough to say, now you can't include that. I mean, I just cannot believe the NFL would sign this. The NFL must be so monumentally fucked and Collins must have such an incredibly strong case that they were willing to just do the back pay to get this court case out of here. Maybe like, hey, listen, we'll give you the back pay just to shut this thing down. There's too much positive momentum building for his side. And this let's just shut this thing down. Here's the money. We know we're gonna have to deal with it again in the future. Well, that's my point too. It gotta come to a point where somebody has to say fuck the NFL and mean it. And I don't think that there's nobody who can say fuck the NFL and really mean it more than Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reed because y'all got all the information. Y'all know what's in that motherfucking collusion case. So what is your theory on Eric Reed still playing? I don't know. I really don't. I mean, maybe you gotta give a bone, right? If I'm the NFL, all right, at least make sure Eric Reed is in the league. You know what I'm saying? Make sure Kenny, because a lot of people that nail, make sure Kenny stills in the league. Dwayne Brown's great offensive lineman, he gonna be in the league, you know what I'm saying? Like make sure these brothers stay in the league so it really doesn't look like we're colluding against everybody who took a knee. But that symbol, the guy with the Afro, what are you walking around with the t-shirt on? When he's on people's t-shirts and shit, the one they trying to make a martyr? Yeah, we gotta make sure he stays away. But what is your theory about those players that say that the NFL is just like a racist horrible place yet still choose to make a living there? I don't, it literally makes my skin crawl when I see Eric Reed say that. And I understand everybody gotta eat, everybody make their money, but I can only speak from my perspective. I cannot see myself working at a place, talking shit about that place, saying how horrible they treat my people or continuing to work there. It is odd, right? I'm just talking about me. Lenard Lyre McKelvie raised on the dirt road in Mons County, so I can line up in a single-wide trailer who's used to nothing. And you know what I'm saying? Even with three daughters, by the way, I put myself in a position where if something like that happens at one of my corporate, I only got one corporate check, to be honest with you. I heart. You know what I'm saying? Everything else is based off things that I built for myself. Podcasts, the book publishers, like I got real estate, like all that revenue coming in. But I positioned myself like that to never have to be in that position to where I'm sitting at a place, talking shit about a place, and have to be there. You understand what I'm saying? It's informing to the rules, right? Informing, is he still taking a knee? I think he is taking a knee. Eric definitely is, Eric definitely is. Are you sure? He doesn't stay in the locker room now? No, no, no, no, no. I've seen Eric on the side of my knee. But that's my thing. Conforming, what did Antonio Brown say? Imagine conforming to a system, giving it 100% to see them treat me like this is unbearly. I cannot sit in a situation and continue to conform. Now let's play devil's advocate here. It is easy for me probably as a white guy to go, well, I wouldn't do that because maybe there's a bunch of other industries that I could operate in, right? That wouldn't be oppressive, right? Now Eric Reed might be going, okay, maybe I don't work in the NFL. Is the NFL the only racist organization out there? No, there's organizations with racists in it. Chances are me getting a job at one of these places, there's gonna be so many racists. Can I never work in an environment that has any racists in it? When am I allowed to make a living? It's not like there's a black-owned football, what was the word I'm talking about? Who says I gotta be football organization? Football, what is it called? League, yes. It's not like there's a black-owned football league where he can go and he can feel safe working in that environment. So maybe he's like, no matter where I work, there probably are gonna be at bare minimum some weird racial implications in the hiring, right? Or the business practice, no matter where. I might as well make the most amount of money that I can possibly make and affect my community financially by working in this racist one. Maybe he's thinking that. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. You can be Robin Hood, you can rob from the rich and give back to the poor. You know what I'm saying? You can do that. I'm not even mad at playing your position until you're in a position to not have to play that position no more. If I'm Eric Reed and I'm sitting there and I'm collecting my checks from the NFL, while talking shit, cool. You know what I mean? I know I didn't stack up these millions and now I can really go back and affect my community. You know what I mean? But I just, when I see all of these brothers quoting Malcolm X, you see me. I keep the honorable Elijah Muhammad around my neck. I got a Malcolm X piece too. Sluta, Mr. Flawless, Greg Union. You know what I mean? But, and I got Nipsey Husson. But when I see all of these brothers quoting Malcolm X, it's like, yo, do for self, build your own. Hmm, that doesn't necessarily have to be a league. It'd be great one day if we did have a black football league. You know what I mean? That shit would be slapping. You know what I mean? It would struggle for the first few years, but eventually we'd get that money. You know what I mean? But in the meantime, that shit don't mean just that. Yo, take that money that you're making and put it into other things to where you don't have to be in a position to be apologizing to the Robert motherfucking craft or flying down to Atlanta to, at the last minute, go do a workout someplace else. I don't wanna see that. How will history look back at this? Like, it is very clear how we've looked back at, you know, social justice and activism in history, right? You know, you see Rosa Parks, I wanna sit in this part of the bus, right? They don't want me to sit in this part of the bus. Well, I'm not getting up. I'm sitting as part of the bus, right? It would be weird if Rosa Parks was like, yo, the bus sucks, but also worked driving the bus. And kept working driving the bus, right? Imagine if during that 360 plus days of the Montgomery bus boycott, when you was, you know, protesting the bus and boycotting the bus, you just saw Rosa in the window riding by on the bus. Driving it, not even riding it. What if she was driving the bus? You'd be like, what the fuck are we protesting out here? Right, it'd be like she's going to get her bus license. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like she's doing everything she possibly can to be a bus driver while protesting. It would, what I'm trying to understand is like, how will history look back at this protest compared to other ones? I think it will look back unfavorably. I think it will look back like, why the hell were these guys telling us how awful the NFL is while continuing to work at the NFL and trying out to be in the NFL? It will be arguably one of the most confusing protests in history. It comes back to what I said earlier. Eventually one of these brothers has to say, fuck the NFL and really mean it. And I tell somebody says that they're gonna continue to find themselves in the positions that the good brother Colin Kaepernick is in and Antonio Brown is in. Simple as that. Like somebody has to say fuck the NFL and mean it. And there's nobody in a better position to say fuck the NFL right now than Kaepernick. Because if everything that is said, if everything is true that they said is true that happened this week from the wave of being into the contract, you know that made him relinquish his rights to the NFL telling him to take it or leave it. Yo, at some point you gotta tell these motherfuckers, leave it, Cap. Simple as that. Like these mixed messages gotta stop being sent. You know what I mean? Because I go back to- I don't know what to do. We don't know what to do. And this is why I say, for me as a man, if Colin Kaepernick called me tomorrow and said, Shaw, man, I want you to come do my Know Your Rights camp, I'm there. If Colin Kaepernick wants me to stand with him on the front lines of some any type of activism, you know, protesting against the injustice that black and brown people facing the hands of the police, I am there. But when it comes to the NFL and his NFL aspirations, I simply do not care. And the reason I do not care is because what he protested for initially never had anything to do with him not having a job. What he protested for initially was the police brutality that black and brown people were facing. I stand with you on that, Colin Kaepernick, all day fucking long. The past couple of years, the protest has turned away from the police brutality and it's went to, Kaep doesn't have a job and that's the injustice. Has it become selfish? Selfish is an interesting word. I don't think Colin Kaepernick is selfish. I wouldn't use that word for Kaep. But I would say- I mean, the most selfless, right? The guy's given up millions of dollars. He's not giving up millions of dollars. Yeah, I think that when you're a Nike campaign he's believing everything, even if it means sacrificing everything, you have to really feel that in your heart and you have to really know that you possibly could be giving up everything. And I think that a lot of times we say things like that in this generation but we don't really mean it. Our ancestors really gave up everything. Kaep gave up a job. Kaep gave up a job. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And by the way, he's still gonna get rewarded handsomely. Like I said, he got the Nike deal. He got the book deal. You know, he got the TV show with Ava. He got things going on. You know what I'm saying? He's going to be fine. So I wouldn't call him selfish. What I would say is it comes a point in time where you just have to embrace that model. And instead of saying everything, just say I gave up my job. And I think when you do that, you'll realize that this whole thing is bigger than you. Much bigger. I've been trying to like compare each other things in my head right throughout history. And you know, we always bring up Ali when we're talking about Kaep. And Ali had his title stripped, right? When he refused to join the army and fight in a war that he didn't think was just. And after he was suspended, I guess for three years it was. Three years, yeah. Three years. He came back and fought. Because they gave him his license back. He reinstated his license back and I think it was New York. Okay. No, it wasn't New York at first. It was someplace else at first. And then New York finally gave him his boxing license back. Now, so he did come back and fight, right? He didn't go, well, fuck boxing, boxing's clearly colluding to keep me out. I mean, they're doing it, did it openly. They were like, yo, you can't fight. He came back and he fought. I could tell you, to me, I could tell you the primary difference of what I've seen over the past. I'm just trying to compare things. How are we going to look at this in history? When boxing took away Ali's license. Yeah. Ali hit rock bottom. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like he hit rock bottom. He was broke. Other fighters were giving him money and shit like that, which is something that we have. We do have to be prepared to do for our people. That's a fact. 100%. I don't give a fuck. When you see people make these kind of stands, you know what I mean? Even though I'm not going to ever compare, you know, the NFL black balling somebody to, you know, him refusing to go fight in the Vietnam War because he felt like, why would I go fight for this country that keeps oppressing us, right? But Ali, for those three years, stood on the front lines of racial injustice in a real way. His whole shit was about how the Vietnam War was wrong, how racial injustice that America is facing is wrong. He was rolling with the nation of Islam. He was with Malcolm X. He was with the honorable Elijah Muhammad. Like Muhammad Ali was really an activist. Like really in that, like really, really an activist on the front lines. So when it came time for, you know, the boxing license to come back three years later, yeah, I'm going to go back and I'm going to go do what I love to do. I put that work in as an activist and still put it in as a boxer. And that's what made his legend even bigger. Like I think people feel like Muhammad Ali was doing both at the same time. You know what I mean? He never sacrificed the activism. Never sacrificed the activism. And you're saying by being part of this oppressive, ah, Ali made them change. Ali made them go, hey, I'm not going to do anything different and you're going to bend to my whim. And it can be said that maybe the people that are kneeling, et cetera, but yet still taking a check from the NFL are not bending the NFL. They're matter of fact bending to the NFL. That's why I wasn't tripping about the NFL agreeing to do this work or agreeing to bring Cap back into the league. Because it's the same thing with the Vietnam War. There was a change of heart. When Ali and Martin Luther King Jr. and all those brothers first spoke out about the Vietnam War, people thought they were being unpatriotic and he was draft dodging and all this other shit. But then a few years later, people realized that Vietnam War was fucked up. It's the Vietnam War was really bad. Charlemagne, everything's starting to fucking make sense to me now. Cap, even if, thank you there, even if he doesn't want to play, Cap has to at least pretend like he wants to play to support the collusion narrative. If he says, you know what? I don't really want to play football anymore. It wasn't thing, it wasn't thing, but you know what the NFL soured my taste on it. I don't want to be in the NFL because it's a racist organization. If they say, if he says that, that's the NFL's dream. They're like, oh, he doesn't want to be here anymore. Done, we're out of here. He has to pretend like he wants to play. I think he wants to play though. Well, let's say he does. Let's say I like you, I like you. I like your, if he does or he doesn't, he has to put it out there like he wants to because the second he doesn't want to, the NFL is not colluding. You don't want to play. That's why you're not being hired. You have to say, I want to play. I've been ready for three years. Hey, look at these cameras. Why not show up the Falcon Stadium? Right, right. Walk in the building. Yes. And when they come to you and be like, yo, you can't try out until you do this waiver. Stay in there. And then when the media comes over, yo, my lawyer, tell them why we're not working out. Tell them why we're not working out. There's a waiver right here where they're trying to get me to sign my rights away that I can never sue them and collude against them and sue them for collusion ever again. Therefore, this whole shit is a dog and pony show. You could go. That shit in Falcon Stadium. He could say, this organization, the NFL, has been colluding for the last three years to keep me out of the league. Do you think for a second, they won't edit the worst throws that I make in this entire tryout, put them in one video and use that as a justification why no team should pick me up and why no team will pick me up? You're out of your mind if I'm gonna sign something that takes away my one bargaining chip with the NFL. My ability to sue them for keeping me out of the league, that's how you do it. That would be the perfect conclusion. And if the NFL doesn't allow you to have cameras in, go live on IG, baby. Right there. Right there. I'm here at Falcon Stadium. I showed up. Well, we won't be doing the workout today because there's this waiver in this motherfucking contract where they trying to get me to sign my motherfucking rights away. So I can't never sue them for collusion ever again. This whole shit is a dog and pony show. This whole shit was a Trojan horse to try to jam me to fuck up. If that's what's really in the waiver. You know what I'm saying? If that's what's really in the waiver, that's how you handle that, period. But I put a button on this by saying, I really truly don't care if Colin Kaepernick plays in the NFL ever again because I believe that that good brother is bigger than football. And I believe he stands for so much more. And I believe that if the NFL is colluding against that man, if the NFL is treating black people bad like Antonio Brown says, it comes a point in time when somebody has to say fuck it in really, truly mean it. Like that's how you help. That's even how you help Jay-Z, right? Cause Jay-Z's in there and he's trying to help the brothers that's in the league. He's trying to help the players that's in the league. Somebody gotta be Martin Luther King Jr. Somebody gotta be the fucking Malcolm X and Stokey Carmichael and all of these guys that's on the outside raising hell. So you let the brothers and sisters boycott the league and say they stand in with Kaep and you have some players in the league start being like, man, fuck that. The way y'all doing Kaep is wrong. We not playing this week. Meanwhile, Lyndon B. Johnson, AKA Roger Goodell and these owners gotta pick up the phone and say, Jay, what the fuck is going on? And Jay can do exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. was doing. Well, it's what they want. That's how the fuck the shit used to go. It gotta be an inside-outside game, baby. That's it. Cause there's certain things that someone on the inside cannot say and do but those people on the outside can. Simple as that. Operators. You need operators. Simple as that. And by the way, Malcolm and Martin didn't see eye to eye. They didn't get along. Malcolm was always calling Martin Luther King Jr. and Uncle Tom and this and that when Martin Luther King Jr. was on the inside letting them raise hell on the outside. And if you go watch that King and the Wilderness documentary Lyndon B. Johnson used to always have to call Martin Luther King Jr. to see what the fuck was going on. It's like I gave them civil rights and I gave them the voting rights. I said, what more do they want? We want that chat, you know what I'm saying? But the moral of the story is Martin was on the motherfucking inside getting the shit done and the way people was raising hell on the outside was making it easier for him to get those things fucking done. That's it. So once again, somebody has to say fuck the NFL and mean it. Nobody better to do that than Colin Kaepernick. But if he says it and continues to try to play and be a part of it. And if he says it, he can't get any more money out of them. They want, the NFL wants him to say fuck the NFL. As they should. Because the second he says fuck the NFL, they don't gotta worry about it. There's no more collusion. They can start saying to him, we offered him this and we offered him that. Yada, yada, yada. So now Kaep is stuck between a rock and a hard place, right? Not really. In a way, right? Let's move on. But he's essentially stuck between he's stuck between the Know Your Rights campaign and being an activist. Oh, he's stuck between being an athlete and an activist. Right, but he's, so that's what's incredibly important. And he's stuck between his situation with the NFL, which he literally can't stop wanting to play for the NFL because then the NFL gets what they want. So it's a, but then by wanting to play for the NFL, he has to play for the exact oppressor he's trying to fight against. It's a really tricky situation. It's really not if you just say fuck the league. The second he says fuck the league. So what, why would you want it? Why? We just go back to what we said earlier. That's what money is. He can make money. He can sue him and make money. Kaep can make money being Kaep. At this point, Colin Kaepernick can make money being Kaep. Right. You think the trap to pay boom and now, wait till they come out with that Colin Kaepernick Nike edition. That pro, all right. You think Tory Lane and Envy and all of them out there with they fresh shit now. When they come out with that Colin Kaepernick Nike edition and you can just scrap that Afro on Afro ball, man. Shit. And get it corn roll when you want. Shit. But more of the story is, yeah, man. Salute to Colin Kaepernick. Salute to Nessa. Love y'all. And everything that went down this week, if they say that it's true, yeah, somebody has to say fuck the NFL and really, truly mean it. Cause I ain't going to front, I go through mad emotions with this shit. I go through emotions, but I'll be like, what the fuck Kaepernick? I stopped that clown shit. You know what I mean? And then I go through emotions where I'm like, well, if that's, if that's, the waiver happened and yeah, it's true. But my biggest thing is, fuck working for your oppressive. If you're going to wear the Kunta Kentay shirt, run. Run. And the only time you be going back to the plantation is to burn that motherfucker down. That's it. And I got to go pee.

Did you see the whole situation with Amanda Steele and Sean King? That was, no, tell me. Over the Rodney Reed thing? Tell me what's going on. That's why I didn't get into the Rodney Reed thing, but- I didn't get into the Rodney Reed thing just because I didn't know what the fuck was. I didn't get into the Rodney Reed thing just because I didn't know what the fuck was going on. This is what happens, okay. This is what I've noticed what always happens, right? Is with these stories. Is people care less about the person than they do about the issue at hand, right? And that's why the stories tug at our heartstrings. Everybody, at least everybody black has known a black person has probably been- Lied on by a white woman in regard to rape. Well, that's really specific. And he- I can't say I know that, but has been treated unfairly by the justice system. And that has to stop. Wait, that has historical context. Sure, sure, of course. This is Emmett Till, yeah, exactly. But we all know a black dude that's been pulled over for no reason. Shit, Alex and I are on the way back home from the shows in Boston. You know, Alex has got a Tesla. The guy pulls us over and there's a car going faster than us in front of us that we're trailing. And the guy pulls us over, literally just to ask questions about the Tesla. It doesn't even give Alex a ticket. But I was like, what do you think that was about? He goes, hey, he saw a black guy driving a Tesla. He just wants to- No, he saw a black guy not driving a Tesla. I don't fucking think he's sleeping. And the fucking car is driving by his goddamn self. Let me pull it. I saw the video. Maybe it's a good thing we got pulled over. I saw you exactly. I saw the fucking video. We're sleeping while driving a Tesla. I pulled you over, too. What the fuck are you doing? Where y'all at? We were driving back from Boston. They not used to that shit. In the middle of the back road that time of night. We used to black people sleeping, but not driving. Driving and sleeping? What the fuck is going on? So basically what happened was, I think a lot of people go, okay, injustice, right here, this is the court system, not treating black people fairly. This resonates with me. Let's take interest in this case. We're not even gonna look at the case at all to see if there's any kind of nefarious behavior with this guy, because everything else adds up to our lives and the issues that affect us. That's another element, too. Boom, go. Definitely. You know what I mean? Some people don't believe in the definitely, you know? So anytime there's an innocent person on death row, they will attach themselves to that story and that situation just because they don't believe in the definitely, the larger political agenda. Right. Yes. Right, so anytime these kind of larger political agendas get like tied into shit, it's very easy to like drop a storm of people, especially angry people online that feel a certain way about it. Every time a baker doesn't wanna bake a cake for a gay couple, all of a sudden you have all like the right wing, like super religious folks going, oh, they have freedom of expression to not bake their cakes, and you have the left wing people going, well, we shouldn't be discriminated against. It happens every single time. So I don't get very invested in the headline because I know some other shit's gonna come out a week later. And it seems like that's what came out with the Rodney Reed thing. Well, no, not even a week later. I mean, I didn't know anything about Rodney Reed on Saturday. A few sisters I know started hitting me up and they just was asking me what I know about the Rodney Reed case. And I said, well, I don't know anything. I just know what I'm seeing that he seems to be an innocent man on death row. I don't really have an opinion about the death penalty one way or the other. But of course, if there's an innocent man on death row, then he should- A man innocent of the crime he's accused of. Accused of, yeah, yeah, but I didn't know that. In my mind, I thought he was a brother who got accused of raping this white woman that he was in a consensual relationship with, and he's been on death row all of this time for it. That's what I thought. I didn't know anything else about Rodney Reed. But then I started getting all of these, like they sent me a news report from, I think it was a KBUE in Texas. They sent me a news report that came out a week before. And then they sent me stuff like, you know, the young woman's sister saying, it was a headline I said with no doubt, Rodney Reed murdered my sister. But they just sent me a, sent me, like if you read any of these articles or you watched that news report, they talk about his alleged history. And I say alleged. His alleged history of violence against women. Like he just has a lengthy criminal file full of accusations of sexual assault. Like it was an assault on it. And I'm only, I'm reading this verbatim. It's from crimeonline.com, including assaults on a 12-year-old girl, his disabled girlfriend, a woman named Caroline Revius, and the mother of his children, Lucy Epper. There's a lot. There's a lot. Which nobody looks into because they don't really care about Rodney, right? What they care about is the issue at hand. And Rodney just fits the bill right now. And whoever fits the bill, we fake care about, but we don't really care about these people. And that's how Rodney's representatives get to manipulate the public through social media because they play on the heartstrings of these issues that already exist inside you. And listen. It's just politics. That's what they're doing. I know I love Amanda. That's family. People swear I'm so biased towards Amanda. I can only be objective. Amanda was wrong when she said that Rodney Reed was arrested and charged for rape and murder in Wichita Falls. There was no murder, but he was charged with rape. That's when he was in high school, right? When he was in high school, he was charged with the rape of this young lady. And he said, when they picked him up, they asked him, did he know the young lady? He said, no. And then they said, well, your DNA is all over her. And Rodney goes, well, we did have sex. According to the court documents, we did have sex when she wanted it. Rodney was acquitted four years later of this case. Now, the reason Amanda could get that story confused is because that's exactly what was said in the case of, what's her name? Stacey Stites, I think her name is. That's what happened in that case. In that case, young lady was found. Hey, do you know this woman? No, I don't know this woman. Well, your DNA was found in her vagina. Oh, yeah, we used to have a secret consensual relationship. So it wouldn't be kind of too hard to get those stories mixed up, especially when there's like four other stories as well. You got the story of the 12-year-old girl. And by the way, I don't know if any of this stuff is true. The only thing I'm doing is reading this to get to the larger point. It says that Reed had raped his intellectually disabled girlfriend. How do you even have an intellectually disabled girlfriend? I have no idea. But it said, given the similarities between these crimes, law enforcement inquired with DPS. Not a crime. It's not a crime. It's just date intellectually disabled people. I don't know, man. There's gotta be some rules against that. They said they inquired if they had Reed's DNA profile on file. They did because Reed had raped his intellectually disabled girlfriend. Reed's DNA profile was compared to the foreign DNA inside and on Stites body. The two were consistent. Next was the 12-year-old girl who was home alone, having fallen asleep on the couch after watching TV. When she woke up, someone began pushing her face into the couch and had blindfolded her and gagged her. I'm not gonna read everything that happened, but basically the foreign DNA from this young lady's rape kit was compared to Reed. Reed was not excluded. And only one in 5.5 million people would have the same foreign DNA profile from AW's rape kit. Point being, there was another one. There was another case where this young lady picked Rodney Reed out of a lineup. There's a bunch. She said she gave Rodney Reed a ride and Rodney Reed got in the car. Rodney Reed tried to get her to take her down the dirt road. She said Rodney Reed, when she wouldn't go, Rodney grabbed her head, slammed her head into the steering wheel. She asked Rodney what he wanted. Rodney said, a blow job. She said, you gonna have to kill me. Rodney said, I guess you about to die. They fought a little bit. She got away, went to the police, ended up picking Rodney Reed out of the lineup. The more of the story is this. If somebody has this kind of history, it should be made known to the public, especially if you want people to rally around this person because they're on trial or about to get the death penalty for a sexual assault case in murder. Like, because I believe that if more people would have known that he had this kind of history, they wouldn't have been so quick to repost and rally around this man. They wouldn't at all. On social media. They wouldn't at all, I mean. And that was Amanda's larger point. That's all she was saying. Amanda was one of the people that posted initially. She did. Exactly. And that's why she said what she wished she would have known before she got involved in the Rodney Reed case. Hey, Google. That too, my brother. Don't go out here and be like, I wish we would have known. Don't wish, do. I'm with you. It's like so easy. Cause here's the thing, you're not a brilliant idiot. You choose to be one of these people that's like an activist and advocating on behalf of people and go, once you put that cape on, once you put that cape on, that's what people see you as. But you know what? There's a responsibility for that case. We don't have, but by the way, I don't wear a cape. You don't wear a cape. We're just out here talking shit on brilliant news. It's different. But we still can't be irresponsible. Yo. That's why when I, when I talk about the Rodney Reed case, I say, go look at the KVUE report. I say, go look up articles yourself. I cited an article. I think it was crimeonline.com that I cited. They did an interview with his sister. I want y'all to go to see information for yourself. Cause I don't know if none of this shit is true or not. What you're simply saying is, you got to be the most unlucky as black man in America. To have six rape cases from six different white women. Or the luckiest to get away. Shut the fuck up. He got away with all of them. He got away. He didn't even go, this is the final one. What the fuck's wrong with this guy? The final one, he got away with every single one and the final one is where he's, and even now after the final one, you still got people going, he's innocent. Like, you're the luckiest. What's wild is even after the so-called final one, when they, I think when they, he had like six months later, he was suspecting another one. Yo, there's some wild shit going on here. Here's the tricky thing also, which is if he didn't murder this woman, right? He shouldn't get the death penalty. He shouldn't get the death penalty. Now, what we do is something that has been used against black people in trials all the time, which is, hey, look at your past, right? What has happened? Look at your past, look how messed up his past is. He must have done this other thing he's accused of. Which I also disagree with Amanda about, because don't go out here and say, hey, maybe he did do it because he did all these things in the past. Because that's what white people have been doing to put black people in jail for years. I know this is one of those times where people are gonna say, I'm defending Amanda. If you look at the case of Rodney Reed and the young lady, the reason they say he's not getting the death penalty is because of fuck ups on the prosecutorial side. The evidence is pretty much there. They found his semen in her vagina. They found his... But they have a consensual relationship. They found his semen in her vagina, her anus, and on her breasts. You know, there's another aspect to this case where the girl's husband is a cop. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the cop, yeah, yeah. And he went to jail for 10 years with some type of sexual assault charge and something or some shit like that. Two things in this case. No, I'm serious, this is a lot, right? There's two things in this case, bro. Like, it's a lot. First of all, Rodney Reed gotta be the most unlucky black man on the face of the earth. That's number one. Number two, R. Kelly and Bill Cosby gotta be sitting around somewhere like... So y'all not believing multiple accusers no more? Like, nigga's passed on me and shit no more? Like, what the fuck? Like, and this DNA evidence linking to these people, I just had hair say she say and a tape and some songs and whatever. The question is, do we use people's pasts against them or do we not, right? Because here's a first... Not in the court of law. Well, what we do it all the time? Well, yeah, you do do it. Think about it, because if there's a girl accusing someone of rape, right? What is the first thing the defense does? Well, this girl did some slutty things over here and this girl did some slay. What is the first thing we say about Colby's accuser? What is the first thing we say? Well, you know they said that. Well, she had 400 different types of semen in her pants. They said that on the KVUE report, which y'all should go watch, one thing that stood out to me was when, I guess, was the prosecution to defend. Who was defending Rodney Reed? I don't fucking know. But one of them... Defense, defense. They was like, look, her boyfriend was a cop. He went to jail for 10 years for doing something else to another woman. And so Rodney Reed, people said, well, y'all can't bring that shit. No, his people said, well, y'all can't bring this shit up if y'all not bringing up Rodney Reed's shit. That's what they said. Reasonable. His team said, you can't bring this shit up if y'all not bringing up Rodney Reed's shit. Put it this way. This is just the worst case for anybody to try to take a political stance on. It's a shitty case. You just don't have, you don't have to care about every single case. Okay? You don't have to make your political stance about every single case because let's be honest. None of you really give a fuck about Rodney Reed. Let's really be honest. You care about the bigger issue at hand. It's a bigger political agenda. Exactly. That's what you care about. And you know what? You should care about that because that could affect you. You get arrested. You get arrested, Taylor. You get arrested, Alex. You should care about what happens. I mean, we've seen it. Alex, go through it in fucking Sweden. The only thing we care about me and I know Andrew does too, bro, you got to keep some form of consistency. And it is very inconsistent that I hate when y'all figure out nuance when y'all want to. When you want to! I can't stand that shit. I can't stand, because any other time y'all are taking shit that don't got nothing to do with nothing to put together and say, look, let's look at the movie. It didn't have to be. You grab this audio clip and that audio clip. Yeah. And then you almost made it my fault. Yes, exactly. I want you to keep that same goddamn energy. That's all I'm saying. How do y'all understand nuance in this situation? Because guess what? Rodney Reed probably did not kill the woman, Stacy, whatever. But if he did all that other shit, he should be killed, in my opinion. And how can you not say this guy? You can kill rapists, in my opinion. That's right. Yeah, of course, 100%. And in the case of when he got locked up in high school, he used the same excuse, right? He was like, yo, it was consensual, right? But he got acquitted, so respect to him on that. But if years later, you got all of these different accusations and you use that same excuse with somebody else, you don't think nobody's gonna look at you funny? That's all I'm saying. You are. And listen, it is. It's just, so what was the beef between Amanda and Sean? Well, Sean, to me, led the charge for Rodney Reed. You know what I'm saying? So I think that whole social media activation that happened was a lot of Sean King. You know, Sean King brought a lot of attention to it. Sean King is great at that. He brings awareness to a lot of things. And Amanda just got on Instagram. And we don't got it, it was long. Yeah, we don't have to play it. But, oh, okay. We can play it, then. And Amanda's got on there and just was basically like, look, if I would have known these things, I don't think I would have rallied around him in that way. And Amanda gave out some wrong information because she said that the guy, Rodney Reed had raped and killed someone in Wichita Falls. Sean was like, she wasn't killed. She's very much alive and well. But she was raped. And once again, if you got all of these different accusations and somebody's trying to explain it, I can easily see how Amanda could easily get caught up and say that. Sometimes she gets wrong information, right? Like she thought she was invited to that after party. Oh, shut up. I mean, listen, listen. She didn't mistake his shit. I thought of the list, what? Listen, Sean gave out wrong information too, though. I thought I was on the list. I thought he raped and killed her. What? You know, potato, potato. Listen, Sean gave out wrong information too because Sean said that Rodney Reed has never been arrested, are convicted. Never been convicted, but he's been arrested, right? He's been convicted too. Oh, I didn't know he was convicted. Of what? He's on death row now. He's been in jail for 20 years. Oh, I thought this was prior to this. But Sean said he's never been arrested or convicted for a violent crime against a woman before or after this murder. Sean, he's in jail right now. Oh, yeah, but he's because of this crime. Yes. So before that, he was never convicted for one. I think that's accurate. Well, I don't know. The way he worded it sounded kinda off to me when I heard him say it, but either way, the moral of the story is this. I mean, Sean's got one agenda. We know that, right? And it's an agenda that has a ton of importance. But you can get things wrong. And he's blind to things that do not support the agenda. So when you go, when Sean is putting something out there, you know exactly who he's supporting, who he's fighting for, and he will give you all the information on the side of who he's fighting for and none of the information on the opposite side. Some people are saying Sean did, I didn't see it. I got this information from people sending it to me. I asked Sean about it. Sean told me he didn't know what kind of man Rodney Reed was or is. His job is to bring light to this case. He feels this man is innocent in this case. This man should not be executed for this case. I have no problem with that. I don't have no problem with that, but I'm not gonna sit out here and try to defend Rodney Reed. I don't know him. You know what it's like? I don't know if he really did these things. This was like, you know how they arrested El Chapo? There's probably some deal that they got him on or some shit like that, right? There might not be enough evidence to convict El Chapo for that single drug deal. But you know he's done a bunch of drug deals, so he's not the person that you launch some campaign about how Mexican Mexicans are being targeted as drug dealers when da da da da, right? You just go, all right, this isn't the one we fight for. We're just gonna kind of look the other way with this shit and blah, blah, blah. And that's the situation with this. We all were up in arms and everybody was tweeting and fucking Alex signed a petition. Didn't even look into the petition. You know how many people signed that petition? I didn't sign shit. You know I didn't sign shit because I didn't have no information on it. Not saying that I wouldn't have, Rodney didn't have any information on it and I can't just go off, because they come to us all the time. We public figures like, yo, can you repost this? Can you repost that? If I haven't done no information on it? No. No. I'm not just taking your word for it. I don't care who you are. I gotta know what the fuck is going on. And after you tell me what's going on, I am going to go do my own individual research. And guess what? I still might get it wrong, depending on what sources I go to. You understand what I'm saying? So I don't have a dog in this fight. All I'm simply saying is to me, the overall point Amanda was trying to make is do your research. That's what she said. She said it. She was like, yo, do your research. You know what I'm saying? Go get further information before we just jump on these causes. You know what I mean? I don't think it's a problem with that. And my other aspect is just- It's not a problem with it, but it's just hilarious that like, she should do it. Like, why am I taking your advice on a thing that you didn't do? You're right. But that's another thing we do. She had one part wrong. Literally. Right. One part wrong. She said rape and kill. It's like ordering a Big Mac and fries. I forgot to say the fries. If I pull up to the drive-through and I ask you for a goddamn number one, do I really have to say I need fries with that? Right. You know what I'm saying? But that's the second time she had one part wrong. The first time around she's like, yo, we need to support Rodney Reid and people should be out here looking up for Rodney Reid. This, that, the other. You learn from your mistakes? I respect that. Hey, 100%, I agree with the sentiment. 100% agree with the sentiment. You know, it is important that we all do our research if we want to be in those positions. Right? Yeah, man. But you know what? I don't care to be in that position. What I like to do is make jokes. You know the crazy part about those positions? What's that? If you put yourself out there and you're one of those, you know, social justice warriors, activists, whatever, you're gonna get it wrong sometimes. You're gonna get a Tawana Bradley, bro. At some point you're gonna get a Tawana Bradley. You remember Tawana Bradley? Who? I was Reverend Al Sharpton. Remember Reverend Al Sharpton came to the defense of the young lady who said she got, then she said she got raped by a cross team or some shit like that? Jesse Smolley. Nah, not even Jesse Smolley. Yeah. I guess maybe Jesse, but like, Reverend Al came to the defense of this woman, but it came to find out she was lying. Yeah. Sometimes you're gonna get those. You know what I'm saying? And I don't think anybody was lying in this case. I just think that it was some information omitted because at that point in time, they didn't wanna slow up the process because they knew that this man was about to get executed in a couple of weeks and they needed all hands on deck on social media. So they put out the information that was pertinent to this case. You know what? You are right about that. You are gonna get things wrong. Yes. We can't crucify people. Amanda, Sean, for getting things wrong. Especially when you know that, talk about history, right? If their record is right. That's all I'm saying. If the record is- That's all I'm saying. Yeah, if the record shows that for the most part they're right and their intentions are good. Sean and Amanda are always trying to be on the right side of history. Right. You may not always agree with them. You may not always think they're on the right side. But their intent is to be in the right side. We always say this on the show. Judge people by their intent and by your interpretation. So I will give that. I will... I'll concede that. The intent was good, you know? We're heavy. Did we do Postmates? Yeah, I did them both. Heavy. You did Honey too? I did Honey. I did Postmates. Okay. Now we just got the hymns. Let's do hymns. That's your lane since you've been using it. Smash it, baby. Let's go.

Something light? I mean, we can run through. I need something light, bro. I thought all those topics were light. So heavy. Those are heavy to you. Oh, god. Come on, spend the brain of this thing for five years. Yeah, but it was just so heavy. Come on. So heavy. OK, we can run through some of Taylor's topics. Kanye West calls himself the greatest artist that God has ever created at Joel Olsdine's service. I don't have a problem with this. Talk to me, dad. Like, why would anybody have a problem with a person saying they're the greatest artist God has ever created? I think I'm the greatest radio personality God has ever created. Why should I not feel that way? You don't think you're the greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for him? What's the problem with that? What am I missing here? Why are people up in arms about that? Let me ask you a question. Yes. This is a good question. What songs, there are songs that were written 50 years ago that we all still know the words to and sing that we did not grow up with, but we know the words and we sing them, right? Songs written 100 years ago that we probably do that too. There are songs like classical music that has existed for, I don't know, 300 fucking years. I don't know how long go Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, all these guys are. What song of Kanye is going to last for another 40 years? Oh, man, that's a bunch of them. Which? Yeah, bro. I mean, shit, you can go back. I mean, what album you want to go to? You can go to the college dropout album and you can grab. You can grab Jesus Walks. You can grab Spaceship. Nobody even plays that shit now. You crazy. Them shit be slapping. Jesus Walks, nobody's playing. What's the shit with them fucking, when it all falls down, motherfucking, you can go Gold Digger. I loved the Diamonds of Sierra Leone remix with Jay-Z. I listened to that shit this morning. Isn't Gold Digger a sample? So that's not even his song. That's someone else's song. To grab Jamie Foxx at that time when Jamie Foxx was playing Ray and to do that shit over. But what I'm saying is. I love Wee Major by Nas. Let me tell you something, we can say a lot of things about Kanye West, but one thing you can't say about him is he's not a talented motherfucking man. No, no, I'm not saying he's not talented. There's been plenty of talented artists and musicians throughout time who have like ruled the music world who will be forgotten. Their music just won't carry on like. Not Kanye. Definitely not Kanye. I don't think Kanye's music will be remembered in 40 years. Kanye has the best in our lifetime. We won't even think about Kanye. Kanye has the best album of the decade. That's fine. Dude, Guns N' Roses was on top of the fucking world. Huh? Metallica on top of the world. Because you're a midget Taylor and you have a short term memory. Past decade, because we're going into a new decade. We're going to have to start having these conversations. Right. The greatest rap album of the past 10 years is Kanye West. My beautiful dog twisted fantasy. People don't even remember that album because it was 10 years ago. I remember it because it was just that good. It's the best album of the decade. Kendrick was number two. Kendrick has the number two and three albums of the decade to me. Just real quick. Good kid, man. Just real quick. I'm not saying that it's not incredible music. I'm not saying that it's not. He doesn't have amazing songs that we all enjoy. We want to dance. We want to have fun with what I'm saying is certain songs do not last the test of time. And he's out here saying he is the greatest artist in the history of the world. Michael Jackson's songs, even with all these scandals, will be played in 50 years. Right. I don't think Kanye has a thriller. I don't think Kanye has a... I mean, nobody has a thriller. Billie Jean. I don't think Kanye has a bunch of songs that Michael Jackson. Give me Kanye's thriller. He does on Mandarin. I don't think he got it, bro. I think we forget about him. Kanye don't have a thriller because Kanye has a college dropout and Kanye has a late registration and Kanye has a graduation and Kanye has an 808 in the heartbreaks and Kanye has a beautiful my beautiful dog twisted fantasy. Those five albums right there. Brother boy, there's not too many rappers that can come out with five slappers back to back to back. And not only that. I'm not denying his ability or his impact on music. I'm not denying that. I'm just asking for the legacy. When you talk about yourself as one of the greatest artists of all time, we have to compare you to the artists that have stood the test of time. He's there, bro. You can't deny. OK, but what makes you stand the test of time is your music existing throughout time. I don't know if Kanye's music is going to exist throughout time. Definitely will. I don't know. There's people who got through college because of Kanye West. Now, look, I wasn't even a college. I didn't I didn't live that experience. We don't even listen to Kanye's. Yo, if you're I was at a we were at a nightclub. We're in Boston, two nights in a row, right? We're at nightclubs. I didn't even hear DJs playing any Kanye songs. You never had Club Records. But wait, just wait. Kanye never had Club Records. Just wait, just wait. You go hear Michael Jackson. Because he got Club Records. Kanye don't have Club Records. So then if he doesn't have Club Records and the life records, sure, sure, he doesn't have Club Records. The youth itself, right, isn't going to the next version of the youth isn't going to resonate with Kanye because they didn't grow up with it like we did. Right. Who's going to continue playing it? What do you mean? We didn't grow up with the Jackson five because they got Club Records. So the club continued to play at the parties continue to play. They existed and they permeated the party atmosphere, the party life and all the DJs were going it. The music continued. You ain't hit no Tupac in the club that night, I bet. You ain't hit no Biggie either. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't say that. We might have heard. Come on, come on. No, we might have heard. You ain't hit no Frank Sinatra in the club that night. 100%. How are you going with Frank Sinatra? Yeah, I said I'm saying like. You was in a wack ass club. What Frank, what Frank Sinatra you heard in the club showed. We heard Michael Buble, we heard Frank Sinatra. Sorry, we were hearing all the good. We were hearing all the slappers for real, dude. Being Crosby was up in that bitch. Kanye, and I'm going to tell you something about that. Kanye's biggest, I'm not even going to say his biggest legacy, but I always talk about legacy based off the fruit that your tree bears. You don't have no Drake without Kanye. You don't have no Kid Cudi. You don't have no Wale. You don't have no J Cole. You don't have no Chance the Rapper. You don't have no Big Sean. Like these are all artists that were directly influenced by Kanye West, like directly influenced. Think about when Kanye and 50 Cent went head to head. Gangsta Rappers was shit. 50 was selling all of these records. And Kanye came out with his album and they had their whole battle. The labels were battling, who going to win? Who going to win? Kanye washed 50. 50 sold like $600,000, which is great, but Kanye sold like $900 something that week. I'm not denying it. And that changed hip hop. From that moment on labels were like, okay, Gangsta Rapper's cool, but let's go fuck more artists. Let's go find some more Kanye's. I'm not denying his influence in the game. I'm not denying how he has changed music and pushed music into a new genre. I just don't see the songs that will resonate throughout history. I got a lot of them, bro. I love We Major with Nas. I love Can't Tell Me Nothing with just GZ on the ad-libs. I can even go to the Pablo album and I can fuck with the Waves with Chris Brown. Like, I don't know. Yeah, he got some joints to me. I love it. I love it. You love it. We all love it. The next generation, if it's not in the club, they're just not gonna hear it. That's not true. It is. How you hear music? How you hear music? None of my favorite artists I look through now in the club. Exactly. There's no Wu Tang in the clubs no more. You grew up with Wu Tang. This is different. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the generation that is not familiar. How did I hear about Michael Jackson? I heard about it from the club. I heard about it from MTV. I heard about it from these things. We get exposed to music through different places. This. What? I sat with Nyla. Sleuth and Nyla. My niece Nyla. My man Deli. Right. We was at the house on Saturday night. Just eating, drinking and fucking. I, we were on YouTube for four hours. Right. All I was playing in was old shit. And I was shocked at the things that they knew. Right. And I'm like, the reason they know it is because of YouTube. They get on YouTube. You type in one. It might be one Kanye West record. And that should take you down on Warham Hall. And you be like, oh shit, this shit's slapping. That shit's slapping. That's how they discover music, bro. They literally discover music now. You listen to a lot of Tina Turner? Actually, I don't listen to a lot, but I know. You don't listen to no Tina Turner. Why not? I have, I have older, I have older siblings. Name one Tina Turner song. I never listen to Tina Turner. Name one Tina Turner song. She's an icon. And that movie slapped. And the Kanye West movie. You know who else slapped. That Kanye West movie. Hey. And that Kanye West movie. Mike. That Kanye West bio pic gone slap. Oh, for sure. And when it comes back out in 20 years. For sure. In Mother Bugger Than Forgotten, it will be reminded. For sure. Just like they got reminded in the new edition. And Bobby Brown. Like, bro, Kanye, Kanye, Kanye not going nowhere. Bro, there are boys to men songs that will be sung throughout history. I really believe it. I believe in 40 years we'll be seeing some boys to men songs. Kanye too. I don't know which. I don't know which. Which is your favorite album? I don't know which. Let me google Kanye's grade over. I don't know which. No. What's your favorite album? I want to see what comes up when you say this. Kanye West. Probably Pablo. That's your favorite one. Pablo is great. Yeah, that's probably my favorite. I mean, I liked college dropout as well. But that hit me early. Late registration. Yeah, but Pablo, it was probably pop. Maybe maybe college dropout. Maybe college dropout. Wow. Kanye West's greatest hits. Strong ain't going nowhere. Yup. That shit still plays in the clubs. Stronger. Harder. Stronger. I skipped that shit already. What the hell? I skipped that right now. Don't they make me stronger? I skipped that. Nick is in Paris. What? Nick is in Paris. Jesus walks. You really think we're going to be listening to that when we're fucking eight years old? Yes. Oh, not listening to that. Nick is going to never stop going to Paris, bruh. Oldest. All right. Oldest. And oldest. You know how long they played oldest? No, listen to oldest. This is his greatest hits. Runaway is my favorite Kanye West song of all time. Just because I'm an asshole. Oldest. Power definitely ain't going to go. Power was hard too. Slow jam. Love lockdown. All of the lights. Bruh. Touch the sky. Flashing lights. God damn. It's just bro shit right now. Can't tell me nothing. Good life. Yo. All falls down. Slow jam. Mercy. Mid. Ultra light beam. Honestly. Mid bro. Ultra light beam is fire because he's barely on it. Oh my God. All the songs he's barely on kind of slap. You said you almost cried listening to. You said you did cry listening to ultra light beam. Yeah. Because he's barely on it. I listen to that. Listen. I support black women, bro. That's why I like that song. I don't know about y'all. That's what I support. But for real, I listen to that. I love that. Listen. There's no denying that he is an amazing artist and he's incredible at the music. I just don't think his music will stand the test of time. It already has. It kind of already has. I don't think Drake will. No, not really. I don't think Drake will. Dude, standing the test of time is tough. You only get... How many artists have stood the test of time? How many Michael Jackson do we have? How many fucking Beethoven do we have? Who's the guy? I can't believe I'm forgetting his name. Let's get it on. Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye, man. How many of these people do you have? I don't... No, but his music stands the test of time. Yeah. Dude, you know how great you got to be if your last name would be Gaye and dudes are singing your fucking songs still? It's back in a day. You got people like Stephanie Mills who people probably don't know. When you hear Good All Over, you know what I'm saying? You never heard that? Maybe I should make you feel good all over. What? Bro, Frank Sinatra, you're going to sing these songs till you're fucking dead. I know one Frank Sinatra song. Exactly. My way? You don't know my way? I know my way in New York. New York? I know two joints. But listen, I know the greatness of Frank Sinatra, but I only know two records. Yeah, but the records are flat. They do flat. Bro, Michael Buble? Bro, vanilla, eye-sized baby, whether you want to admit it or not, stood the test of time. I think you just had a stroke. I'll be honest. I don't know what the hell happened. I don't know if you were saying Tesla. I don't know if you were saying Tesla. But then I know the fucking Tesla. All right? But then the eyes were stood up in a Tesla. All right? It's not like vanilla eyes when he was hanging out that window. But then I maybe stood the test of time. It did. And you know what? Not even his song. So what really stood the test of time? No. It was fun. The guy just died. Bro, these kids have no idea. What's the guy's name? These kids thinking. David Bowie. These kids think Julia Roberts is Harriet Tubman. They have no idea. They have no fucking idea. Can we talk while I look up Harriet Tubman. I mean, not Harriet Tubman. Well, I look up. Oh, you got the underground hip hop. No, we got to stop saying. No, we got the underground hip hop. That is so. The underground hip hop. I ain't talking to you, bro! Signed of Ruckus Records, in 1843, signed of Ruckus Records, Harriet Tubman. Signed underground hip hop, holy shit. Had Julia Robinson shit was so fucking stupid to me. You know why it wasn't stupid? Why? Because they do this all the time. Yo, you know it's the same shit as Rodney Reed, right? Tell me. It's people attaching themselves to the issue, not the person. The issue is they understand that Hollywood hires white actors to play roles that are not white. And they feel a way about that. So they tweet out something that is clearly bullshit. The tweet was that some execs said Julia Roberts should play Harriet Tubman. Oh, no, that really happened. No, it didn't. Yes, it did. The guy, it came from a Q&A. The screenwriter of Harriet Tubman, he said that. As a joke. No, he said that when he used to be trying to get this movie made, back in the day, no executives wanted to do it. And he said the times were different. He said he went in there and he pitched the story one time. And one executive was like, that's a great story. He said we should get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman. And he goes, Julia Roberts can't play Harriet Tubman. And he was like, why can't Julia Roberts play Harriet Tubman? Because she's black. They clearly didn't know who the fuck Harriet Tubman was. This is hilarious. Oh my god. He just thought the story was great. So then the screenwriter explained to him why it couldn't happen. And then the exec goes, well, because nobody wants to admit they're wrong. Well, that was a long time ago. Nobody will remember. Oh my god. Yes. The screenwriter, his name is, what's the screenwriter name? His name is like Greg Howard that wrote the Harriet Tubman movie, I think it was. Yeah, but that's funny. It's funny. And by the way, it's not the first time and this has happened. Do you know motherfucking? I look this up because I love doing this just to have more research. 25 times, white actors played people of color and no one really gave a shit. This is from the HuffPost Latino voices. Angelina Jolie played Mary Ann Pearl. Mary Ann Pearl, look at Mary Ann Pearl. Wait, is Mary Ann Pearl black? No, she's Afro, yeah, she's Afro Cuban. Afro Cuban has naturally curly hair and a dark complexion. Angelina Jolie has no African roots and played her. Ben Affleck played Antonio J. Mendez. And what? A movie, it was a fucking movie. Argo, you remember Argo? That guy was Mexican? Yes. No wonder he could sneak people out of the country. Shut up. He was fucking Mexican. Do you remember this? Who's this? This is debatable. What is this? Joseph Fiennes played Michael Jackson. You know what I mean? This is debatable. You know, Michael did turn white, debatable. Yeah, Michael, because Michael did a lot of that work himself. Mick Rooney as Mr. Yunashi. Chris is furious about this one. But that's from, what is that from again? He was a Japanese landlord. Pink Panther, right? No, Breakfast at Tiffany's. This right here, Juliet Bonac played Maria. Maria Sagova, come on, man. Yeah, that's crazy. Let's get to some ones y'all know. Yeah, because we don't know, I don't know none of these. Natalie Wood played Maria. Johnny Depp as Tonto. Johnny Depp looked like he could be Native American, though. Not, well, OK. I mean, he's not a member of the First Nation tribe. OK, Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra. The moral of the story is, hold on, Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra? Yes. Hey. Now doesn't this sound like Vanilla Ice? I'm going to tell my kids that was hammer. That's what I'm going to do. Vanilla Ice is not going to exist in my world. This right here. I thought it was it. This should go way harder. Yeah, but you're not going to stay. No, no. What? Because, all right, stop. Collaborate and listen. Ice is back with a band new adventures. Exactly. Because of holding me tightly. That's exciting. Well, here's the moral of the story. You don't know the words of that shit. Nothing down on you. That shit don't slap like Vanilla Ice, bro. I'm the pressure. I wouldn't know that record if it wasn't for Vanilla Ice. But it's still taking. You're the white man in credit, bro. Wish for stealing. You're the white man in fucking credit for stealing. All right. OK. Yo, you know what I realized when I was up in Boston? This is so crazy. Because Boston is one of the starting places for the Revolutionary War, right? Yes. Boston Tea Party and the whole thing. So Europeans colonize the United States of America. It's not the United States of America at the time, but just North America. We colonize North America. And then Britain is taking all of our wealth away from us, right? So we fight back Britain because they're treating us like we're colonized. Does that make sense? No. In other words, like we colonize, right? America colonizes Britain. No, no, no. Let's say Britain, right? OK. Colonizes North America, right? And then Britain is extracting all the resources out of the land, right? And then we fight back against Britain, right? Because we're like, yo, why are you treating us like we're colonized? We do that a few years after we just colonized. Does that make sense? Yeah, but how do we get there? What underground rural did we take here with Julia Roberts to get to this point? How do we get here? I just think it's kind of funny that we colonize, take everybody's shit. And then when Britain's taking our shit, we're like, hey. Oh. Hey, what are you doing? Yeah, but that's life though, right? That tea's expensive. When you're the bully, you don't want to get bullied. Facts. But like, you think at any point in time. That's why you're the bully. Right. But you think at any point in time, they're like, yo, that was kind of cold, but we didn't have Native Americans. That's why you're the bully. I kind of would have liked to see Julia Roberts play Harriet Tubman. I think she could pull it off. Bro. What? You don't think that she knows the Black experience? Listen, let me tell you something. Hold on. You don't want to see it? Come on, let's just let not. First of all, this is not a come-to-the-microphone moment, but continue. No, brother, why would you want a white woman to play? Because I want to get these jokes off our road, OK? Now listen, Julia Roberts can play Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman. Does it mean she can play Harriet Tubman in Pretty Slave Woman? OK, we've got another one. Just because Julia Roberts can play Laura Burnie in Sleeping with the Enemy doesn't mean she can play Harriet Tubman in a movie called Sleeping with the Enemy Against My Will because math to keep raping me. Just because Julia Roberts can play Maggie Carpenter in One Away Bride doesn't mean she can play Harriet Tubman in a movie called Come On, Guys, My Way Slave. OK, one more, one more, one more, one more, one more, one more. Sure, Julia Roberts can play Tess Ocean in Ocean's Eleven, but she can't play Harriet Tubman in a movie titled Atlantic Ocean Eleven. No. Progression. An origin story of how her grandmother got here? Did Taylor rate these for you? No. Sure. No way. No, I want more. Keep going. That's all I got. Keep going. That's all I got. That's all I got. That's all I got. Let me know she can play Harriet Tubman in the movie. Yo. Let me know she can play Harriet Tubman in the movie. Hold on. If Julia Roberts plays Harriet Tubman, can you fuck her and be staying true to black women? Oh my god. No, it's a character. It doesn't count? No, it doesn't count. I wouldn't want to see that No Way, though, because there's no way you can. Oh, you know, you should play Harriet Tubman? They already got somebody, Harriet Tubman's out. What? That's the time it came out two weeks ago. That was the whole point. That should have been a little too underground. I really don't. You know what, I haven't seen it in no theaters. It's out, though. So who played Harriet Tubman? A woman from Britain. I heard Flayn played it. No, for real. Flayn was playing Harriet Tubman at home. What's her name? Ain't no role, but be a little gay. Her name is Cynthia Arrivo. Yo, how you feel about all these black English people taken on the black American roles? I asked Lena Waif about that. You know what I mean? Taking jobs from black people whose ancestors have dealt with the black American impression. I thought Lena Waif had a great... Listen, I think that when it comes to the black American experience, the black American experience is very unique. I think that a lot of us, we still deal with the trauma from the things that happened during slavery and during segregation. So you would want a black American to take on those roles because you feel like a black American is the only person that could experience that. But I mean, a lot of the sentiments that you would have to have to play these roles, a lot of the energy you would have to have, you have... Experience as a black person globally. Period. You know what I'm saying? It's racism. It's segregation. It's prejudice. That's really all it is at the end of the day. And they're good fucking actors. Those black British were... Yes. Holy shit. And it's fighting back against that. Because Daniel... What's Daniel name from Get Up? Kuliaki. Daniel Kuliaki? I made that up. I'm like... Ain't no cop seeing Daniel Blackass and saying... He's British. He's British. Yes. But in fact, when they pull him over and he starts talking to that accent, they're gonna be like, give me your license and your identification because I don't need you to fucking think you fooling. You understand what I'm saying? So it don't matter. You think that makes a cop more comfortable, though? No. That might be a good technique if you get pulled over. No. It's like, was there a problem, officer? I think you're trying to be funny. Really? I'm gonna make sure you get out the car and do your fucking ABCs. A-B-C-D-E-F-G. Yeah, oh, you're still playing. I'm now calling for backup. You're still playing. This guy's still playing. Wow, there's a bunch of you coppers. You won't stop that fucking accent. What seems to be the problem? It is good. What are you saying? So it's like, I don't have a problem with them doing that. I don't think that... I think the black American experience is unique but when you have black skin, dark skin, you've experienced all of those same things. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yes. That's it. Have you watched the Underground Railroad movie? No, I haven't. I gotta catch up on movies, bro. Yeah. I haven't seen the Hustlers movie with J.Lo. I haven't seen fucking The Joker. I haven't seen the Harry movie. You haven't seen Joker yet? No, Queen and Slim coming out. Chadwick Bowlesman got a movie coming out this week. I want to see it called 21 Bridges or some shit like that. What's up with that movie? Why are there so many Bridges? What's going on with that? He's actually playing a cop that's going around killing people for killing cops. But what is the Bridges? I have no idea. Next week, Queen and Slim comes out. But can we get back to the Bridges here? I don't know anything about the Bridges. Why would anybody name a movie about Bridges as if that's the exciting thing for us? I got to see it. Like Joker. Ooh, I like the Joker. I'll go see it. Black Panther. Love the Black Panther. I'll go see it, right? Pretty women. Woman. I like Pretty Women. I'll go see it. Maybe I'll go see it because it's Chadwick Bowlesman and you want to know what the fuck's up with these 21 Bridges. I don't. It just sounds like traffic. I'm going to check it out. It literally sounds like a commute. Is this a movie about commuting to work? Is this about how... I thought you meant traffic to movie. That was great. That was a good movie. But it's trafficking drugs. 21 Bridges. I don't know. You got to go over the bridge. You got to go over the bridge to what? Only Taylor would reach for that one. Taylor will reach for one that's unreachable. Say what? Say what do you have to do? It might be like a metaphor. Put your lips on the microphone. Oh, there's a microphone over there. What do you mean? What do you think is a metaphor for? I didn't see the trailer yet. Taylor, what energy drew you to the microphone? Let me invite you all to a major rally we're having in Queens, New York. What energy drew you to the microphone? You need to take a bridge to get to Queens. He just asked me a question. No, no, no, no, no. Prior to that. When you talked about saying that you would like to see Julia Roberts say, here it's happening. But I was being sarcastic. I just wanted to get my jokes off. If she has slapped. Yo, yo, yo. Can you please just come back to the microphone for one second? No. No, no, no. I mean this. What if Julia Roberts was such a great actress and what if she didn't do blackface? She did the old fashioned way. She just tanned. She went to Aruba. She got very tan. Right? Do not. What if she got tan? First of all, she still has white hair and everything else. No, fuck the wig and everything else. You don't got your real hair. What's the difference? It's okay. I'm still black. Prove it. Dicta! Dicta! Did I do that at the wrong time? Was that the wrong one? Did I do the wrong one right there? Let's see. Don't give me the soundboard. It's lit if I get the soundboard from. Do not. Yo, son. Listen. The soundboard? Shit. Amen. Shit. The soundboard is what's up. I'm a B. Harriet Tubman. I'm playing Harriet Tubman. Real tough. And I'm going to sneak all those fine black men above the makes and dicks in line. Let me tell you something. Ain't no room. If you're going to play Harriet Tubman, all you have to do is sneak your little dick in between your legs. You got to tuck that motherfucker. Just show pooch. All right. As always, this fucking podcast has gone too far. Yeah, but we did it. We went from serious to whatever the fuck we're doing right now. We was never serious. Come on, son. Stop yelling, bro. Why you yelling it for no reason? Andrew's medication is worn out. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart. We're intelligent. You think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. If you listen to this podcast, and you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the Brilliant Idiots podcast. Thank you for listening.
