 Shawlamagne the God, Andrew Schultz. We are the brilliant idiots podcast back for another week of brilliant idiotness. What is happening? Hezakaya Walker? Chris is back, Kel. Chris is back. Oh, he's back. Middle-aged COVID in the building. But he's beat it yet again. Yet again. How many times you beat COVID? Chris, how many times you beat COVID? This will be my second time. Bro, isn't it crazy how you are undefeated against China like Taiwan? You and Taiwan have continued to route China every time and times to take you out. Give it a minute. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's not push our luck back. Yo, that is true. So we shouldn't brag about it. We should just keep it stepping. That's right. No, be humble in your wins. I respect my opponent, yeah. You have to, bro. Be humble in your wins. China might just be letting them win for now. That's the long game that lets you get confident. Oh, is that Taiwan? What? That must be China. That looks like Vietnam to me. You could tell from those mountains. There are a lot of bays that have those type of mountains in Vietnam. We're talking about the picture behind us for those of us listening. How was your week? Has it you just rocked Toronto? T-Doc? Man, that was unbelievable, bro. How was it? How many people? It was 26,000. Wow. Yeah. It has a stand-up fucking comic. No song, no bars, just jokes. Jokes, man. 26,000 people. It was unbelievable, man. So much fucking. How is that for you being a comic, man? Do you still have the same level of intimacy with a seat? That was always my concern. I was always my concern going into it. I was like, can I still hold the attention? Can I still create tension and then have that release? And we did a bunch of things to make sure that could happen. We spent a lot of money doing those things, too. Like screens? The screens. That creates the intimacy for those people that are all the way upstairs in the back. We have them like angled at a certain way so that everybody in the room can see you and all the energy is directing towards you. It's just a lot of things that we kind of did because that's the most important thing. Because you can do smaller venues, just do more shows. And if the show suffered, then I would just rather do that because I want people to come out and have the best show. But the energy was great. Toronto, yo, thank you so much, man. Now sometimes you've got to let people see you dick, man. You hit me. You're like, yo, I don't think you're flexing this. You ain't starting enough, man. You ain't, you know what I'm saying? Where's the video to post on the radio? I said, we're ending it, bro. Give us a second. The flex is coming Monday. Only just because it's not even about the flexing. I don't think there's a better flex than having people. You know what I'm saying? It ain't like you showing a lot of money. You ain't showing no interest to people. Like you got for anybody who ever fronted on you who said, oh, what you doing not going to work? Are you not funny? Whatever, whatever. When you got 26,000 people coming to see you once. Bro, that's what a fucking Raptors play, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we did it. Yeah, we did it twice, man. We did it Friday and Saturday. Damn. It was crazy. Damn. It's crazy. That's not been the biggest venue so far though, right? No. But it's just like in persp- Yeah, this is the biggest venue I've ever done. But like to put things in perspective, it's like Drake is there this Friday, Saturday. And he has two shows. Damn. Now, I'm sure Drake can perform 100 shows in the hometown of Toronto. He can do as much as he want. But just the idea that we're in the same venue in the same locker room and doing the same amount of show, like it's just so cool. They gave you a jersey, bro. But I was fired, man. You had to get the Raptors jersey. Come on, man. The Maple Leafs one. It was just, it was so cool. Man, I wish you were up there, bro. I'm being honest, man. I'm not stepping foot in Toronto. Are you crazy? Why? Why? They coming for you? I don't know. I've been to Toronto before though. Yo, they love brilliant idiots out there. Yeah, they do, man. That's like one of the OG brilliant idiots. They love Aubrey Graham out there too. Oh, that's it. He just started the boarder. There was brilliant idiots before Aubrey? No, about the same? Around the same. Around the same. OK, all right, fair enough. But yeah, it was just so fucking cool, man. The energy from those people, like the energy was just crazy. And you've been building up because you started doing comedy shows there. Of course. Man, man, man, man, man. You in Dubai at a big arena too, right? Abu Dhabi. So yeah, we're going to go. Right next, we go to Europe. So we got Ireland, and then we got Scotland. We got Manchester, and then we got London, Amsterdam. And then we go to Abu Dhabi. And they got the UFC on Saturday. And then on Sunday, we're doing the same venue. The same venue. Like, that's another thing that's crazy, bro. Come on, man. Like, bro, when we're going to Australia, we're doing one of the venues. They do the Australian Open the Tennis thing. Come on, man. It's just crazy. I still haven't even processed everything from it. Really? Yeah. So you still feel like that guy doing the sell-in in New York? Yeah, 100%. Like, I haven't processed. Like, even in it, you know, you're thinking about it, and you're like, what is happy? You're looking at all that. But when we went in there earlier, you're looking at every empty seat, and you're like, holy shit, this is all going to be full. And then we're going to do it again. And it's like, yeah, my brain just couldn't accept it. It was the weirdest thing. I still feel like people haven't fully grasped what you're doing. Oh, I realize what I am. What? I'm like a Latin pop star in America. Yeah. You know how, like, a Latin pop star will go like, they'll like sell out a fucking stadium, but they'll be walking down the street, and nobody know who they are. Yeah, you never heard of it. They got 20 million Instagram followers. But then two people will see them on the street and go, holy shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then other people are like, who's that? Like, so I think that's where I am in the ecosystem. But they'll get it probably next year. If they do, they do. No, no, no, no, I'm grateful, bro. Like, I know, but I'm saying, when I say, when I say they'll get it next year, because next year is when you start hitting America. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's going to be funny. And that's when people act like, oh my God, can you believe this? Yeah, you cock suckers. Did you not see what the fuck has been going on in the past few years? Yeah. Man, probably. And everybody that did, you know, it was cool for them to be in that space as well. As always, people hit me up. They're like, yo, I saw you in a club with 100 people. And then they're there at this moment. And it's like, imagine being on that journey. Imagine telling your friends 10 years ago, like, yo, this guy's really funny. We should go see him. And everybody's, and all your friends are like, who is he? I don't know who he is. No, trust me, I'm telling you, this guy. And then you get to take those same friends to the fucking arena. Man. You know, it's just, just cool. I could be trying to figure out how you last an hour on stage with your bowels, bro. Like, how do you control your bowels? I wonder if it just shuts off. I think, I don't think I've farted on stage before. I don't think I've, I definitely haven't stopped to go. Yeah, I think your brain is just locked in. Why is that? Like, how come, like, I was just saying before. Fight or flight. Oh. It's fight or flight. That body checks in. Hey, we got one job. Ooh. But I was saying before the pod started, how you get to a certain age, you can't hold nothing. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, you feel like you got a pee all the time. You feel like you got a shit all of the time. The only thing you don't have enough of is nut. Yo, it's facts, man. Yeah, it's facts. That nut, bro. That you don't have a lot of that. Yeah. Everything else you feel like you got too much of. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, do you fuck a lot? I mean, I'm satisfied. I'm a very satisfied individual. That's a no. I don't. No, I'm satisfied. No, I'm satisfied. I know you're satisfied with her. No, I'm very satisfied. You're satisfied because you don't need it all the time. You know what's so crazy? How many times a week? You know what's so crazy? Think about back in the day before we were married men. If you ask me a question. No, no, no, I am going to answer. But if you ask me a question like that back in the day and you got there right, I'm fucking out of time. But when it's when it's just you and your wife, when it's just your wife and you a faithful man, you don't want to answer that shit. You know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? Like, do you fuck a lot, Andrew? No. Well, get off the goddamn road, OK? It's either your wife or 26,000 people in an arena, which one you want, man. I want my wife, man. Nah, but I think you just get old. You're like, I don't really do all this fucking. You understand love. I'm going to hit from your 31-year-old ass, Taylor. It was a lot, though, Tio. It was a lot? Oh, man. Bro, if I'm fucking two times a week, that's no. That is more than enough. More than enough. How many times for you? Spiritual journey. So I'm not doing any more. How much hoeing was you doing that you had to go on a spiritual journey? Don't do that. I wasn't hoeing at all. I wasn't hoeing at all. It's not nothing about. You out there throwing it so much, you got to give it to God? No, I'm going to quit. No. I didn't give it to everybody but God. Everybody didn't got it except for God. So now I'm going to give it to God. No, I'm just protecting my energy more. Just around just friendship, everything else too. So to me, when I was probably like three times, I'm good. Oh, that's solid. Because if you got jobs and stuff, I mean. You got jobs and stuff. Three is more than enough. That's success. Three is, yes. Three, I'm an addict. Yeah, three a week is kind of crazy. If I'm having six, three, what days? You already have what days? Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Three a week kind of crazy. That's crazy, bro. Why is that crazy? If you have a sex three times a week, you poor. Do you think? Yeah. Come on, we working, yo. Three a week kind of crazy, yo. How long is your sessions? What do you mean, how long is the session? Because that's what matters too. You guys can marry men too many person. Until I nut. That's how long, until I nut. Until you both men too many person. Hopefully they nut first, but when I nut, it's over. You fucking like? I'm like, average and probably 1.5. That's good, we're in love. Yo, is that 1.5? Can I be honest with you? That's the real shit. 1.5 is fire. What is the 0.5? Because some weeks you go to and you're like, I'm a fiend. I'm a fiend right now. I'm a fiend, bro. I'm crazy. I'm horny, dick hard all the time. Two times a week. What about masturbation though? Nah. I left that shit in my 20s, bro. We masturbating no more. You still jerking off? Yes. Just so you can get your steps in. You don't masturbate with the Apple Watch? You do that shit to get your heart rate? Slow down. Slow down. You don't do that? No. Come on, man. Don't ever give up on the masturbation. No, I don't. Don't ever give up on that personal touch. Nah, I don't do that shit. I only jerk off on the road if they got the soap in the shower already. Bro, masturbating is like putting the screens up in the arena, man. Have that level of intimacy with yourself, man. How are you going to lose your small crowd? Yo, you don't lose your small crowd mentality, yo. All right. OK. What you mean? I can't believe y'all don't masturbate. Y'all, how often do you jerk off? Not a lot. What's that? How much? Definitely once a week, at least. Wow. At least, man. Throw the mic to Chris. I know Chris can relate. Chris, Chris, Chris. How many times do you jerk off, man? Be honest. Well, I mean, my problem is I got a two-bedroom apartment. There's not a lot of, uh... Look at these excuses, bro. Obviously. Look at these excuses, bro. Bro, you asked. You still do it. I'll sneak one in. Yeah. I'll sneak one in. I know, I know. That's good, man. Relief stress is good, man. Can you hear your family doing things around you when you're doing it? No, no, no. Not anybody's home. That's the stuff. But that's what I'm saying. Like, you know, you can't... Like, so where do you find time to do it? You just lie and say you have COVID, so you can stay home and get all the fucking stuff? Nobody, nobody come in this room for two weeks. There's nothing wrong with it, man. So you jerking off once a week in the car? No. Where? You got a lot of women in your house. Yeah, you got four daughters, a wife. They're at school during the day. During the day is literally... You're work during the day. No, I'm home by, like, noon. Damn, home by, like, noon. I'm home by... So you just go home and spray down the house? Sometimes. This depends. Well, it depends. Sometimes, man. I wanted to rub one out this week, and I didn't get a chance to, though. Why not? I didn't have time. What inspired that? I don't know. That's the crazy thing. You just be old with a hard dick for no reason. But that's how you know you're healthy. You know what I'm saying? Is that true? Absolutely. Like, my blood be going. I still wake up with the woody. No. Yeah, man. I wake up with the woody. I woke up with a boner this morning. I thought someone was wrong. Really? I call my heart doctor. Man, shut up. I said, I think it's over, bro. I think it's over, bro. Something's happening, bro. That was one of the side effects of the cholesterol medication. I was afraid of a rectitis function, but I don't have that problem. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's that. You know, it's so funny about the cholesterol medication. That's another way you know you getting old. Like, you just be on the phone randomly with your peoples, and you find yourself going in CVS. And then somebody be like, what are you picking up? Oh, I'm a cholesterol medicine. You know what I'm saying? And you just keep the conversation going like it's nothing. Everybody got to go pick their prescriptions up. What's your prescription, Chris? How many you got? Oh, my God. How many prescriptions you got? Don't even get him started. Actually, I went off all my stuff. I decided to clear the plate. Really? Really? Yeah. What? What's up, man? You hanging it up? I don't know. I'm good. I don't need anything like that. I'm good for the lime stuff. Oh, you just have... Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went off all my supplements. Wait, you just gave my sister a bunch of advice of what to get. So now you put her... It might work for her. Your sister got Lyme disease? Yeah. She just found out now she probably had this shit for probably 10 years. Oh, no. I should probably be living dormant in you from Chris, yo. Yeah, you should. Is that she contagious? No, no. Don't worry. I like that. Damn. All right. Taylor's game by any means. What's this shit? Taylor? By all means necessary. There we go over a bunch of memes. They're really not memes, though. Wait, this is like trending for the moment. Okay, trending for the moment. All right. It's just the topic. Yo, this is the part of the show where we do the thing we've been doing for fucking 10 years. That's the part of the show this is. Sometimes packaging is good. No, this is great packaging. This is great packaging. This is great packaging. This is great packaging. Produce it. It's great. Just like when T.I. packages trap music. There we go. This is... Okay, Jimmy Butler has who hair? Emo hair. What is emo hair? No, this story is... I mean, it was really funny, but who gives a fuck? I think Jimmy Butler is amazing. He's a man. Because Jimmy Butler knows how to capture attention on media day. He did this last year with the dreadlocks. He's doing it this year with the hair. I think Jimmy Butler is fantastic at doing it. He's the man. He's the man. I love anybody in any sport who can be a showman, you know? Because I think a lot of times showmanship like this is regulated to like boxing, the UFC, because NBA players and football players usually just go out there and just show an otherworldly level of skill. And that's enough for us. I like this. Who knows? Is that his real hair? No, that's weird. I just love that he don't give a fuck what people think about him. Nah, he don't. That's fire. And I loved after Damian a little bit went to the Bucks. He got on social media and said they need to be investigated for tampering. Who? That's what Jimmy said about the Bucks. You didn't see that? Snitching. That's what I'm saying. I love Jimmy, bro. He's the man. He's a guy. He should be a Nick, though. You don't think Jimmy Butler gave him Nick energy? I mean, we would fall in love with this guy. This guy would get the key to the city. Yeah. It would be absolutely incredible. Salute to Jimmy. Get to the big news, Taylor. There we go. Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey. Swift. Still talking about her. Yeah. We were talking about this on Flaker just right now. Okay. How many NBA games Beyoncé went to and not one of them got shut down? Damn. I'm just saying. How many, I mean, Beyoncé's at the NBA games. They're like, yo, that's Jay-Z's wife. This girl right here is shutting down football games, yo. Now listen, is it because the NBA isn't as big as the NFL? Or is it because nobody's as big as Taylor? Damn. I'm just saying. Well, I'm going to be looking- The attention she's getting for just showing up to a game is crazy. If we're being honest, which I feel like brilliant idiots is, you should believe us when we're lying. I feel like, yeah, this is a different, this is an OG level of superstardom that Taylor Swift has. It's- This is 90- Pre-Internet Superstardom, yo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is 90, super, it is. This is 90 celebrity. It is. It really is. I don't know what happened. How about this? I'll give y'all something. Let's say, hypothetically, I don't believe this. Let's say Taylor is worse than Beyoncé and all things, blah, blah, blah. But more people are obsessed with her than any other person on the planet right now. Right now. So she might not be as talented. It might not be all those things. Give that to Beyoncé because I hate the fact that we always got to compare even though I start that. Okay, so let's- let's just have this conversation. More people are obsessed with her than anybody else on the planet right now in this moment. Can we just say that? I agree. I agree. Pope? Who? Exactly, who? The Pope? All right, you found the thing. Coke is sticking in your mouth! Yo, did we just alley-oop you? Yo, did me and Chris just alley-oop you? Yo. And you hit a hoot, it was crazy, bro. The hoot you hit was like this, give me that fucking camera, you ask, who? Yo, man, yesterday I was in Atlanta, man. They tried to catch you? Listen. Listen, man. I was at the B.T. I was at the B.T. hip-hop awards. Different type of catch. Listen. Very careful. I was walking the green carpet. I cannot remember the guy's name, man. He was doing interviews for hip-hop DX, white dude. I'm so sorry I can't remember your name because he's a super brilliant 80s fan. And like they were towards the end of the carpet and so they was kind of rushing me, right? So I was already kind of like done with doing interviews and he was just like, man, I just want to say what's up and take a picture, man. And he was like, I said, what's up, man? He was like, I don't really feel like doing more interviews. He was like, it's all good. I'm glad to see you here, man. Celebrating 50 years of hip-hop. I said, yeah, man. Don't be saying, you know, what do you think of Atlanta's role in hip-hop? But we just talking. He was like, no. He said, yo, you heard of that new rapper, MC Toppin' Off? And I'm looking, right? And I'm like, you almost fucking got me. You almost fucking got me. Yo, I laugh. I laugh so hard I had to do an interview with him, yo. I'm like, yo, come on, man, we got to do an interview. Because he almost got, he had me right there. Because he let it in with just regular conversation. I asked him about hip-hop. And he was like, yo, and you know in Atlanta, there's always a new fucking rapper popping up. And what do you mean you left? Well, you know, Breakfast Up comes on BET every morning at 9 a.m. And, you know, they want us to make appearances at their award-chosen stuff. Not a problem. So they was like, yo, we would love for y'all to come to the BET Hip-Hop Awards. We were going to present with Fat Joe, because Fat Joe hosts. So we were going to do something on stage with Fat Joe. And so, yeah, me being the professional, I am. You know, I got there when I was supposed to be there. Dress rehearsal was supposed to start at 12. It didn't start till 2. Red carpet was supposed to start at 4. That actually did start on time. And I was there the whole time. I was there from like 12 to 7.47, because 7.47 clearly sat on the paper, hard out, got a flight to catch, get back to New York, already missed a day of work, you know, missed a day of breakfast club, flying down there. And so, wow. So at 7 o'clock, at 7 o'clock, come on, it's just a fart. I don't think I've ever heard of fart before, guys. Y'all can like, guys when they see a titty. At 7 o'clock, it was supposed to start at 7. It started until like 15, 720. The baby opened the show. The baby opened the show, but the baby had to do his performance twice, because they messed up something, yeah. No, in front of the whole crowd? Well, I'm gonna tell you the crazy part. The baby was doing rehearsals. I was watching the baby rehearse. The baby's doing rehearsals. The baby literally says to them, hey, the curtain went up too fast. I didn't get the opportunity to change. I'm not gonna give away his performance, but you'll see when it comes on next week. You'll see what I mean. He performs like a little medley of songs, right? Yeah. But there's people who come out, you know, during his set, and he does an outfit change, but he told them in rehearsals. It went up too fast. I didn't get the opportunity to change. Let's do it over. And somebody was just like, oh, don't worry about it. You know what I mean? So, okay, I'm long story short. 2 o'clock rehearsal start. We're waiting to rehearse. Envy gets fed up. He leaves, right? I'm still there. Stage manager comes, stage manager's like, oh, okay, it's time for you all to rehearse. Soon as Envy leaves, I'm like, oh, when Envy left. And then they're like, oh, he looked at the paper and they go, oh, well, y'all are just ad-libbing anyway. Don't worry about it. We do it in the show, right? So, all right, cool. But we never even got to do it in the show because I told them, hey, guys, I just want y'all to know my heart out of 747. All right? I'm leaving, regardless. So I left, regardless. Now, this is awesome. Why? Did you, hold on, hold on. Did you, okay, so Envy left immediately. No, no, Envy left to go change because he wasn't, remember this is dress rehearsals. So we were supposed to rehearse at 12. Rehearsals didn't start till 2. Red carpet was 4. So Envy left to go change. So you never got the chance to rehearse. Never got the chance to rehearse. And then did you get the chance to shoot whatever you need to shoot? No, because we were shooting in the show. So we were supposed to go on stage around 740, something, you know, that do our part and then be out for the airport. Like it literally said on the schedule, we have a heart out. Because there's probably one more flight coming back from. That's right. I can't stand to land overnight. I got a life, you know what I mean? Why didn't you just pre-record it? Alex, I don't know. That's what I mean. Now, did you feel like something like this was going to happen? Absolutely. Because usually when people are frustrated by a thing, they have this pre-meditated conception of that thing. And then it happens and then it's like, why did I even put up with this shit? Here's the thing, I expected it to happen. I kind of knew it was going to happen. And why? Why? Why did you have that? Shut up, leave me alone. All right? All right. Okay. I'm afraid. Shut up. Leave me alone is fucking hysterical. No, leave me alone. I just knew it was going to happen. Why did you feel that? Why did you feel that? What was your... What about it? Just experience. Listen, we've been with Paramount and Viacom for a long time. We've done a lot of these things. We've done everything from the MTV Awards, MTV Movie Awards. Was there a chance that you weren't going to go? Was there like this part of you and your brand? I never want to go. That's why you were annoyed. I wasn't annoyed, though. Because I knew that I controlled my own destiny in this situation. I'm leaving, I told, and everybody knew days and events. This is what it is. It says right here, 747. I don't know if y'all think I'm not going to leave at 747 because there's other people there that were like, you know, hey, I'm going to leave if y'all don't push up the show. I got to get out of here, yada, yada, yada. So other people also had this feeling about the show. Hey! It's almost like there was a sentiment going into the show from the people that were associated with it. The show didn't end until like 11 o'clock at night from what I was told. I wouldn't know because I was gone. And when I left, I started picking up my stuff at 744. And I told Envy, I said, yo, I'm out. He said, but you said 747. You got three minutes. I said, by the time I get to the car, it'll be 747. They'll be coming in here saying, hey, we about to go right now. We about to tape y'all right now. I said, I guarantee it. By the time I got to my car, Envy texted me like, yo, they just came into the room and said, they want to take us right now. I said, enjoy. And I went to the airport. I don't listen, man. I'm old. I'm grown. No, he left like 15 minutes after me. So they didn't even go tape? No. When they came into the room, they were lying. No, because they had to move. It was a lot going on. It was a lot of moving parts. You had a lot of different people. I guess in the moment it was frustrated. They had performances. They had to get in, things like that. How many people do you think there wasn't on time for? The whole show. The whole show was like at least 40 minutes behind. I'm not even upset. I flew down to Atlanta. I didn't know Duvall was going to be there. It was good seeing Duvall. I didn't know V was going to be there. It was good seeing V. It was just a cool little thing. I don't look at that as a waste of a day because I feel like wherever we are, wherever we are, we're supposed to be there at the time we're supposed to be there. You did Okay. You did the right thing but you also created a boundary where you're, I don't want to say it's kindness or generosity but it's still an honor to be part of something like this. We grew up watching and it's just such a mainstay in culture. But if you didn't go, you'd probably feel guilty. You're like, you know what, I'm at a point where I should. I'm not being a good partner. But at the same time you have a boundary to being a good partner. Because once they extend your time now they're not going to be in a good partner. Absolutely. Now I have a suspicion that you literally went down there and you went, there's no way I'm going to end up filming this fucking thing. That is my suspicion. You're right. Absolutely. So you went there, if you really think about it, you went there. The proof of what? The proof of what? The proof of what? I was actually going to give you all benefit of the doubt but I like the way you went there. I'm a professional. I'm going to always be professional. And I'm going to hold you down. If the culture needs me for anything, I'm there 100%. I was there from 12 noon to 7.47. But one thing I'm not going to do is I'm not going to be taking advantage of. None of us should allow anybody to take advantage of it. I think that's a very reasonable thing. You just ask us to spend the day and then spend the night. Maybe you would say no. But at least set that expectation. I'm not able to do that. I'm personally not able to do that. Now, could I have made some arrangements if that conversation was had? Sure. I suspect you would have done it because you want to do the right thing for especially the Black Entertainment television show. But if we have come to an agreement and that agreement is, hey, this is what they're doing. They're flying in. Now, what if people go, oh, you were to wait around for the Emmys? I wouldn't have. They don't know me. They don't know me. They don't know me. All I need is a reason because I don't want to be there anyway. I was surprised. I've never seen you at an award show. Listen, all of them know. I'm out. It's cool. I'm fine with that. I'm either not going or if I'm there, give me a fucking reason. I don't know if we've made it to the end of one award show. The end. Yeah. And that was back in the day when we... You know what? Yeah, that was back in the... Why did we go to those award shows? They was paying. Yeah, they used to have us walking to red carpets and sitting in the audience. They used to watch on TV growing up. It was really cool to be there. But you know what? It's no knock to MTV or the MTV system because we got plenty of love. They showed us mad love. They never let us present or anything. No, they didn't ever... None of the cast, the guy called ever presented any awards or anything like that. Never was like, please welcome the cast of guy called. You know what's weird is that we would be getting love too. Yes. Yeah, you were getting crazy love. Because there are people that knew you from Breakfast Club and knew you from MTV. Yeah. But this is when the code shows were popping. Yes, they could have did that. I don't think they really knew what they had. Think about it all the time we sat at those award shows and heard, please welcome the cast of Teen Mom. Please welcome the cast of 13 and Pregnant. No, you know what I mean? There was this beef between MTV and MTV too. Yeah, that's what it was. And the MTV people were like the big execs. They were upset that this MTV two show not only was popping, but it was so popping that they created Girl Code for MTV. And there was this animosity. They didn't want to share talent. They didn't want MTV two show to thrive sort of to give it like the fucking center stage at the award show. I don't even remember the girl called girls presenting the award. They did it. That's crazy when you think about it in hindsight. All that ego just Well salute to MTV and Paramount and everybody over there. You are appreciated. How did we get here? I thought we were about to talk about Travis Kelsey and Taylor fucking Swift. That is crazy. How we were from the whitest of the white to the BET Hip Hop Awards. I mean, we talked about Travis Kelsey and then from there you clearly go to the BET Hip Hop Awards. Yo, is Travis not invited to the cookout no more? I don't know. What did Travis say? What did he say? Black women not fucking with him anymore, huh? And his accent changed a little bit. You notice that? Accent changed a little bit. Accent changed a little bit. Even he noticed it. I picked it up. I was like, what's this honky talking about now? I was like, why are you talking like a real honky? Who's this cracker talking about? Who's this honky? Back in the day Everything changed a little bit. He was yes, yes, y'all. He said he goes they don't know man nothing man nothing about whatever he said some black shit I didn't even know black people said. That's how black that shit got, bro. What he said, chief recorded trick daddy? I don't know. But now he used to talk alone. I never used to hear him. I didn't know if Travis Kelsey had a podcast. Not a podcast, fire him and his brother? I didn't know. I knew it was Travis Kelsey was catching touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs two-time Super Bowl champion. But you didn't know his name. That's a Taylor Swift effect. That's a Taylor Swift effect. You ain't know nothing about nothing. Taylor Swift effect. We didn't know nothing about Travis Kelsey. Now we know he got a podcast. I said this shit two weeks ago on this podcast. What did you say? I said that it pisses me off that there's women in my life who all of a sudden are acting like the goddamn NFL popping shit in the world because of Taylor Swift. One of them actually told me, verbatim, that NFL is popping. Why is the NFL popping? Can I tell you something? They said because of Taylor goddamn Swift. NFL is popping right now. Yo, ain't no nan person said ain't no nan person said ain't no nan person said ain't about no nan concussions. There ain't been nan none concussions since that is true. Taylor Swift stopped concussions, yo. Taylor Swift doesn't stop concussions. He's been a nan concussion in literally two weeks. You can't stop Achilles. No, it's a lot of Achilles. I'm going to tell you something that Andrew Schultz just did. What did black men's Achilles deal? White women. That's what I'm saying, bro. Y'all know nan nothing. You know what you just did? You just guaranteed Travis Kelsey a concussion. I guarantee you before the season is over Travis Kelsey is going to get a concussion. Yo, what if she gets a concussion? He wakes up and he goes, damn, yo. Where the bitch is that? Where the bitch? Yo, what if somebody knocks him back in the wake and get a concussion and wake up black? Yo, yo. Shit. Where the hell is that, man? Yo, no more happening, yo. No way from the back, boss. Come on, let's go to Waffle House, man. Okay, this shit says, Travis Kelsey feels like the NFL is overdoing it with the Taylor Swift coverage. Let me hear this gospel he bought to preach. God damn, Alex. You let one rip, too? No, that was his chance. That's crazy that you fucked up again, yo. No. It's kind of crazy, Taylor. It is. Can we do a segment where you do your fucking job, right? Yeah. Come on, man. What is wrong with you, Taylor? You know what's so crazy about this? Taylor had that shit sitting up there for five, ten minutes. Yo, we need to put the Taylor made it right after she fucked up. She bought it up, right? Not only did she bring it up, she bought it up and we started having a whole other conversation about something else and she still don't got it. Why do you hate us? At least he was going on. All I see is you hating on a beautiful white man. You're hating a beautiful white woman and that's why you won't let him talk and explain himself. And you're using Twitter as a search engine again. Yeah, it is the best one. Oh, God. There we go. Okay, bring it back, Taylor. There you go. Is the NFL overdoing it? What is your honest opinion? Not take away your feelings for Taylor. What is your honest opinion on how the NFL is treating celebrities at games? Doesn't it, brother? It's fun when they show who all is at the game, you know? I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere. It brings a little bit more to what you're watching. But at the same time, I think... They're overdoing it. They're overdoing it a little bit, for sure, especially in my situation. I think they're just trying to have fun with it. And a lot of the people watching, go ahead, let's hear it. I just think the NFL is not used to celebrities coming to the games. Basketball has to figure it out. They're all courtside. They're sitting there. They show them once or twice. But they get back to the game. NFL is like, oh, look at all these daily celebrities in the game. Keep showing them. Dude, listen. You show them once. Let them know that they're maybe after a touchdown. You get a little clip, but it can't be over. You keep showing them because we're talking about it. It's all over Twitter. You literally have the most famous female performer of all time at the game. Why would you not have a cam on her? Why does the brother look like he want to be in the new reboot of Duck Dynasty? How are you talking about how good his podcast is, and you're now saying his brother for the very first time? I never said his podcast was good. I never said his podcast was good. I never even heard his podcast until now. I didn't say it was good. You called him out. You said you didn't hear until now. That's true, but I thought he's seen it. He's just seen it for the first time. That's crazy. I never thought about that. Celebrities are the football games. That's what I'm saying. At basketball games, we see them they're on the court side. This ain't the first. Kim Kardashian used to go to the same games all the time with Reggie Bush. Yeah, but think about it. They're in the sweets. So was Taylor. Yeah, I guess. Taylor's in the sweet. Man, I can't think of no huge celebrities I've seen at football game. Well, no, the Super Bowl is always mad celebrities at the Super Bowl. That's different. A lot of times when celebs at games, they're kind of like on the sidelines. You see that a little bit, but not like just chilling and watching a game. This is new. Taylor has changed the NFL. She's brought some celebrity to it. This is an obvious thing. I bet you the NBA is going to start doing that. Doing what? Now just focus more on the celebrities that are at games and how they're doing during the game. I think this is just proving how the NFL is. Even though we all love the NFL because Taylor Swift has gone to basketball game before and don't nobody care. They did focus on the celebrities that were there. I think the NBA is going to probably start focusing on the NBA does the NBA does the cam. Whoever sitting courtside at the game, they do the cam and they be like, beyond saying JZ here. That's when you're at the game. But what they show on TV, you don't see that. Yes, they do. We just have a moment where we just shout out white people, bro. Oh, they do that all the time on TV. They cut to Taylor. How do you think we know they're there, though? No, but they cut to Taylor more times during that game than some of the players. That's the difference. They kept cutting to Taylor during that entire game. This guy's crazy. What did you eat, bro? I told you when you get to a certain age, you can't keep shit in. I can't. This just is what it is. I'm just this is the brilliant golden years. I'm just going to sit here. I'm just sitting here getting ready for all of this shit. Like, I already know what's going to happen, bro. This shit is going to be like this for a while. To that age. I'm trying to tell you. What else you got, Taylor? Paris has an infestation of bed bugs, yo. Oh, no. It's fucking crazy. Oh, no. Oh, shit, Taylor. It's a light week, huh? Very light week, Taylor. We're not going to talk about Britney Spears. It was crazy. It was on a Wednesday at five o'clock. And that's what Taylor's hit just with. Paris has an infestation of bed bugs. Oh, why do we care about it? I mean, Paris's beautiful city is absolutely stunning, but you know, I'm not surprised that they have bed bugs there. They're not exempt from bed bugs. They don't even wash there that much, right? They don't. Yeah. Not a cultural mainstay. Oh. That's why they develop perfume. That is something crazy. I'm being 100% serious. Somebody would spend the fuck up. Dead ass. The cultures that develop perfume is to cover up horrible scents because they didn't bathe. They were afraid of water. Water would kill you in a lot of times back in the day. But if you look at, like, Turkish culture, right? They only fuck with moving water because you could trust the moving water because the flow meant that it's not going to keep all this horrible bacteria. It's not going to just sit there. So in Turkey, they don't need fucking perfume back in the day because they smell good. The Ottoman Empire was smelling good, bro. Yeah, whoever made perfume, whoever created toothpaste, whoever created deodorant, they was either stink or fed to fuck up at the way somebody smelled. Can't do it. They was tired of that shit. They was walking around like, man, I am tired of smelling. You know why the three musketeers wore them big ass hats? Who? You know the hats I'm talking about? Because motherfuckers, there was no bathroom, so they would just dump the pee out the side of the windows and dump the shit out the side of the window so you might get caught in your fucking head with shit or pee so you wore that hat to block it. Shit the fuck. Look it up right now. Let's start looking it up right now so we can have it by episode three weeks. Is that why they say the three musketeer candy bar looks like a piece of doodle? Absolutely. Because when you open it up, it's got like that soft, noogie chocolate shit inside. Yup. Yeah, so it's supposed to look like a piece of doodle. Like if you break a piece of doodle open, the doodle has a color on the outside but when you break it open, it looks like a piece of doodle is by how many rings. Y'all didn't know that, did you? Y'all didn't know the three musketeer bar looks like a piece of shit on purpose, did you? We do know. But Taylor, did you find out about that? Why did most European armies in the colonial age wear hats? What did you type in, Taylor? Wear hats. She put why did the three musketeers... Son. Son, I got it here. Taylor. Taylor, what hats did the three musketeers wear? Tell you the best. Why brim hats worn by the Cavaliers in England and the musketeers in France in the 1600s were impressive but not very practical. The drooping brims were a hazard for horse horse riding and sword fighting and eventually the brims were turned up or cocked on one or more sides so that they can stop the shit. They were getting shit in on them? Telling you would throw the shit right out the side of the buildings. So it's like an umbrella? Exactly. What else we got, Taylor? Come on, Taylor. Yo man, Brittany got investigated. Did you know that? They sent people to her house after that video, man. This shit is crazy. What do you mean? Of course. If you saw one of your friends dancing with the knives like her, you would have done the same shit. Man, yo, that shit was crazy. They literally sent people... You didn't know that? Pull it up, Taylor. God, Taylor, please, man. But she don't got no kids in the house. It says she cut herself. But she don't got kids in the house. She's still a danger to herself. She's an absolute fucking loony bin. Stop, man. We need to have a documentary done on her man, the guy who just broke up with her because I didn't even know how he was with this girl for five years, bro. They were together for years. They were married. They were in the NDA. There's another celebrity I know that people always historically talk about like that. They say that she's completely off her rocker in every single way. Can we believe it? Say it and believe it? I thought you were talking about Tyrese, but... No, no, no. This is a woman. Completely off her... Who? You gonna believe it? I heard that, but I'm not like this other one. Okay, say it and believe it. Oh, yeah. Really? No, they say she's off off. No words. That's why you don't see her. They keep the cameras away from her. That type of stuff. A lot of these managers and agents, bro, they're just fucking right in the cash cow until it breaks, crashes, and they move on to someone else. How do we keep them alive? How do we keep them going to shows? How do we keep them getting the next check? When have you seen her? Never. You'll never see her in the news. You literally see her once a year. Yeah. And you don't even see her. But you hear it? I think we might have given too much away. Bleep when we see her. All right. Yeah, Britney Spears went off on Cop Saturday demanding an apology after they came to her house a few days back to do a welfare check. As you know, Britt was dancing with Knives Monday and it looked what? What is that word? Perilous? She said they were prop Knives, but fans weren't buying it after she posted another video a day later with a bandage on her arm and a cut on her leg. She was just getting ready for Halloween, man. That's all. Look at her. You know, she got the makeup on her eyes. You know what I'm saying? Looking like that shit that climbed out of that well. You mean the ring? The ring, yeah. It looked like the ring got a little sun. That's all. So she's been getting ready for Halloween. For years now? That's it. Listen, you can't be mad because they sent the welfare check, Britney. You know what I mean? That's just people being concerned. You gonna shit yourself. That one you forced. I didn't fart. You didn't? Oh. Who did that? Taylor? Taylor, you did fart. You sure? You really are known to fart. Nah, we would have. You have bad gas, Taylor. Be honest. Don't do that. You have farted so bad. Come on, man. Don't just asking, do you have bad gas? A diet of Philly cheesesteaks with that cheese sauce on it. The pretzels with the cheese sauce on it. Fucking tasty cakes. Of course she has bad gas. First of all, you act like I go get a cheesesteak every day. I'm not even in Philly. I only get Philly cheesesteaks in Philly. You drive home to get them. You drive to Iskabibbles on weekends to get them. You say you love Maxis. Don't lie, Taylor. Maxis is disgusting. Which one you say you like? Iskabibbles. Iskabibbles. When was the last time you went? Oh, not years, but months, months, months. How long will you wipe for when you take a fat shit? What? How long will you wipe for when you take a super fat shit? How long will I wipe? Yeah. I keep wiping until I see no more. Damn. How many times you got to wipe? You keep wiping. You know, that shit is crazy. Because if somebody swipes your credit card more than twice, you think something wrong. So why are you okay swiping that many times? Shouldn't I make sure it's clean? I just keep wiping? Yo, you need to come on it. Yo, that's crazy. But how long will you do it? Why are you trying to break the conversation to me? Do you ever break through the toilet paper and finger your ass all by accident? You've never done that? No. I'm the only person that's ever done that. At least she got that two-ply. I mean, I do have the two-ply. If you break it through the two-ply, that's different. I've been thinking about that. It like pulls up, like rolls up and then breaks through. Say what? You don't have dude wipes? Oh, I don't do those. You got them in the bathroom right there. Yeah, I just don't do them. Because I like to feel the traction. It's just wet on wet. God damn. Shit. He said he liked to feel the traction. Man, just going to get fucked already. Jesus Christ, man. What else we got, Taylor? Michael Jordan's net worth is three billion dollars now. Not a surprise. Nobody surprised by that, right? Oh, I know what I want to talk about. We come back and we talk about Jay-Z in whether or not you should give family members and friends money. You have that clip, Taylor? So, Taylor, we're going to do two ads. So, we're giving you... We're going to give you two ads and church announcements. Let's see if Taylor will have the Jay-Z clip ready to go by the time we come out of two ads and church announcements. Salute to Hero Bread, man.

Y'all see this Saturday. Now let's get back to this show. Jay-Z. Jay-Z, this is a old clip. If you watch Heart to Heart on Peacock with Kevin Hart, then you probably heard this clip, but this is Jay-Z speaking on how he reacts to his family when they ask him for money. Let's see. You have cousins. You got to go home for Thanksgiving and people are talking to you like Kevin Hart. And you going home for solace. You a family. You're going home for peace of mind. You're going home for peace of mind. The cousins in your grandma's living room saying, yo, man, I got this I got this play. I want to hit you. If you just give me, you know what I mean? 4,800. I could make you 2 million. You're like, it don't work like that, man. But you got to explain to him like life isn't like that. Money isn't free and no one's giving our opportunity. If it sounds too good to be true, it's really... And then he like, oh, you don't believe in my dream. Now, I saw that in real time, you know, and I think I don't think Jay-Z is wrong in any way, shape, or form. And I know people, and I don't know if he said 4,800 or 4 to 800. 4 to 800. Did he say 4,800 or 4 to 800, meaning 1,000? 4 to 800. I mean, I heard 4,800. I heard 4,800 too. Somebody told me that he was saying 4 to 800. Doesn't matter. Yeah. I don't give a fuck what the number is. And everybody saying because of what his net worth is, literally 4 to 800 dollars is like a dime to him. What do you think of that, Shotes? Do you think Jay-Z is obligated or any of us are obligated to give that kind of money? Now, I can... I think we're obligated to take care of our immediate family. And... I don't know we're obligated. Obligated is the wrong word. I feel I have to take care of my parents. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, I think parents bear minimum parents, but parents, siblings, like if we can take care of them, we should. Now, obviously you have to create boundaries, like if you have somebody... Siblings? Yeah, come on. Yeah, come on. Siblings? Yeah, siblings. Siblings is included. They have to deal with your ass the entire time. Let's say, for example, your sibling, let's say you don't care about your sibling at all, but you care about you and your perception. And your sibling was homeless on the street. You look bad. Ooh. How do I look bad for the choices that they made? You're crazy. I'm not fucking crazy. How do I look bad for the choices they made? What if, you know, people don't see, and this is my family at all, but what if people didn't see all the times we spent money on rehab for said sibling and tried to get said sibling clean? I think there's a difference. There's a different scenario. How do you end up homeless on the street? You can only do but so much for people. We're talking about under normal circumstances. What is the normal circumstance? I'm just trying to say, how do you end up homeless on the normal circumstance? I believe it's just your mama. That's the only person that is. Just your mama. Is that it? Now, I will say in regard to the siblings, I'll do it because you're my mama's child. So you're doing it for your mama? Yeah. That's great. I'll do it because it's my mama's child. You know what I mean? Don't get me wrong. I love my siblings, but God forbid your mama passes. What happens? They steal my mama's kids at the end of the day. But here's the thing. My mom, and this is true story, everything I'm saying right here is true. My mom is the filter. So when I get those weird requests she's the first person I call. Because two things about this conversation. Number one, if you don't have it to give or you've never been asked for that kind of money, I don't care about your opinion on this. You know what I mean? But those of us who do have this scenario happen to us quite often, you got to have that filter. I call my mom every single time and say such and such ask me for such and such. Because I need to know number one, is this a legitimate claim? When she thinks it's absolutely crazy I know I'm not bugging. Because I get some weird requests and the request I hate are the requests I really do treat it like a lender. Like if you go to a lender, a lender's going to look at you and a lender's going to say does this person have the ability to repay this loan? And the lender's going to say what financial history does this person have that they've made this kind of money before, right? If you don't have that, how are you going to ask me for $5,000 and tell me you're going to pay me back in a month? You've never had $5,000. How are you going to ask me for $10,000 and tell me you're going to pay me back in a month? You've never had $10,000. So I think some would say like hey, if you're a billionaire, so what if they don't pay you back? It's family. Some would say that. That's the person who's not a billionaire saying that. That's the person who hasn't worked for that money. That's the person who did not put in the same money that you did to acquire what you have. And so now that I've done all of this work and I've accumulated this amount of wealth, you think I should just give it to somebody. I think sometimes giving it to somebody saves their relationship. Because lending money to someone that you know most likely won't be able to pay you back, you guys are no longer friends. Don't ask me for a loan then. Let it be a gift. Okay, how about we look at this two ways. One way is I completely judge what Jay-Z is talking about. And empathize with what he's talking about. So 100% I get it. And what you said earlier is so few people are even in that position. So it's like not very relatable. What's more relatable is having a dream and having a rich relative that might be able to support your dream. So everybody listen now got a relative that got a few bucks and then they're thinking well shit if he only gave me this money I could start my business, I could open my restaurant, I could open my whatever. And you would treat a bank. Don't just come to me and ask me for money. But if I had Jay-Z's money I'm not asking for I'm not giving you a and I even kind of hold this practice as is now. It's like if I give you something I'm giving it to you. I'm not going to get a, I'm not going to loan it to you if I don't think you're paying me back because now our relationship is done. Every time I see you buying something for yourself I'm like oh where? You owe me $5,000 but you bought yourself a new vacation like you know what I mean? Like I have friends for example they don't have maybe the best relationship with their parents and their parents will always talk about how they too broke to visit but then go on vacations and shit. So there's this resentment and animosity it's like are you broke or you're not broke? You're too broke to visit me? You're not too broke when you got something to do so in that situation if I want to help somebody I'm giving it. Yeah I have no problem helping but to your point yo man I'm a little behind on rent or you know I need a new alternate on my car something like that makes sense practical? Yo but this is what I hate if I give you the money don't go ghost on me because I'm not asking you for the money back but now you feel like damn I told him I was going to pay him back in such and such couple of weeks and you didn't so now he got to act different. Absolutely but I'm not even looking at you for that. Yeah but you said loan and y'all agreed to a loan that's why you just give him the bread. But do you know what happens in those situations too? Bro I don't even worry about it here you can nah nah I'm gonna pay you back now I don't worry about it here nah nah I'm gonna pay you back I got I told you don't worry about it. Now you ghosted me not picking up my phone call and I told you it's all good but you feel bad you know what I mean like I don't Loaning some of money is also another way to stop a relationship you don't want anymore Yeah Loan so many money you know they're not going to pay you back they ain't calling they ain't that's going to hang out I basically paid you $1,000 or $500 to never have to deal with this person that I know is on some fuck shit. Yeah and I'm going to tell you something else I hate entitlement and not only do I hate the sense of entitlement that some people have that all your family members I hate the sense of entitlement that social media has with this conversation. How are you just going to tell me just because I'm a billionaire I should just give it to you and by the way this is the other thing we're not taking into consideration Jay-Z actually knows his cousin. We don't he knows business. He might know this ain't the person to give that to I'm sure he's looked out for different family members with money you know over the years for different things. He knows this ain't the person. Just like we know in our families right now this ain't the person. I mean outside of money you just got to be more precious with your time like how much of your time are you going to spend around people that you just really don't fuck with or have a history and not fucking with you. And a lot of times we do it just because we got the same last name that don't really mean shit to me. That's all I'm saying y'all look at me crazy when I said siblings earlier. I don't give a damn that we got the same last name have you helped me build anything that I have you know what I'm saying? If anything you should be trying to say yo can I get a job bruh. That's more popping in little let me get some money. I also think people are focusing on the wrong thing because he just said he turned it down because they didn't understand you can't turn 4,800 into 2 million. It wasn't like I'm turning I'm turning your request down because I don't got it. Yeah. And I think people are focusing on wrong thing. But we know he don't got it. Yeah. Matt and Jay-Z telling you he don't got it. I may not be correct. But I mean that's why people are mad at him. He's like yo you're a billionaire 4,800 is nothing to you. And he's like no the reason why I'm turning this down is because you just don't understand the business. That's why I'm not going to turn it down. Listen Jay-Z is an investor. He's made millions and millions of dollars investing. If you had a worthy investment he would invest. Absolutely. You didn't come to me with a good business plan. Yeah. Treat me the way you would treat the bank. If you was going to the bank and asking for a loan you would have a whole business plan written out. But we do have that kind of entitlement with family and I think I understand certain circumstances right. Like let's say for example your older brother kind of raised you. Or your older sister raised it. You are the older sister. I look out for moduses. Love moduses. So it's like let's say for example what is your fault the siblings are fucked up. If you raised them. No my siblings ain't fucked up. Oh okay. I thought you were saying they was fucked up. No no no. I was just using a hypothetical scenario of saying like siblings. I'm not entitled to take care of those siblings. So yeah so basically what I'm saying is like let's say there are a lot of people who like were kind of pseudo raised by their siblings. And those siblings had to sacrifice a lot for let's say me or you to be where we are. Like let's say we were raised by older siblings so I understand someone in that situation going I want to take care of you. I want to make sure your life is good because you couldn't chase your dreams because you were feeding me when mom was working to shit. Like I understand that dynamic. But a random cousin that got the same name as you that you barely see ever. Never wish you happy birthday. Never nothing. And all of a sudden you got money you popping and they're like yo let me get something. I understand why people are like hey chill. What you just said is very true too right. Because people take people take advantage of the fact that you guys have the same name. That's right. But what means more to me is the investment that you've made in my life and the investment I've made in your life. I don't care if we if we got the same last name and you doing that how lucky am I. I got family I got brothers doing that. But if we don't have the same name and you invested in me I want to invest in you. That's right. And one of y'all said something about perception earlier right. That's the other thing they bank on. If you're a person in the public eye. No yeah you're asshole. Yeah they can't wait to be like yeah this motherfucker don't do shit for us. Blah blah this and that. But when I do you ain't on social media with that. Oh no you want all the credit. Yeah I started my new business by myself. Yeah exactly. Listen man that shit is very very difficult and it's a very tight rope to walk. Because I know people who've gone damn near broke trying to take care of all the people around them. And it's admirable that you want to take care of people but sometimes there's better ways to take care of people. You don't want to put yourself in a situation where you can't take care of your family. I got kids. Worn up in a wife. I got a whole other legacy that I'm building over here. Not only you got kids you want them kids to have kids. You want grandkids. You want to spoil all them. That's right. So I do get that. I think at the end of day it's like there are people that I've been fortunate enough in my life. You've been fortunate enough in your life that have like played these major roles that love you. They hold you down. They could be family. They could be friends, human and entertainment. And I'm sure you're still trying to work with them. Help them in any way you can. Help them succeed and thrive. Because they poured into you. That's right. So you pour it into them. And then there are people who maybe didn't pour into you. There are people out there talking shit about you. Oh look at this motherfucker. Radio host want to be a radio host getting fired every single time they laugh at you on Thanksgiving. That's right. Now they're asking for oh I'm going to open whatever can you give me along. That's right. I know you. You remember all the fucking Oh man. I love those. Those ones I make sure I do stuff for their grandmas and their mamas. I love it. I love it. Ain't nothing like being home for Thanksgiving and your grandma looked at you and said that McKelvie boy is so sweet. He came over here and he just gave us all his food. He bought the church robes and oh man it drives the hate of crazy when the grandma or mama loves you. Oh. I'm telling you do something for a grandma or mom. Yo you got to hate out there. Do something for their grandma or mama for the holidays yo. And they got to hear about the nice thing that you did for them during the holidays. Oh they'll be ready to kill you by New Year. They got to eat the turkey you made. You bought the turkey. Yo. How about turkey taste? How my turkey taste, bro? Yo Shaq tell me how my turkey taste. Well you know Kobe, no who said that? Kobe tell me how my dick taste. No ass. He said ass. Man I saw the funniest video. Hold on man. Look at this shit man. Hold on. Hold on man. Look at this video. Yo Yo son this is crazy bro. Bro that is yo this guy is getting beat up. How does he even get behind him to bite his ass? Nah that's great. Dude is getting beat up on the ground. Black people say gay fun too far. Hey black people chill out bro. I know you don't want to have gay fun now I know it's funny and everybody's enjoying it but you're going too far for that. Okay. Listen how bad was you getting your ass beat that you had to bite somebody's ass? Bro. And then don't let go like a pippin. He was locked in. The other guy just stopped fighting. He was like let go of my ass. The moral of the story is man don't give nobody no goddamn money. No take care of your people. No man. No listen I like take care of my I love taking care of my people but I'm telling you it's a limit. I said limit because I'm too nice my wife and my wife my wife is the filter too. Oh my god because you know a lot of times they won't let people get to me because the requests get crazy. Like what? What's the craziest thing you're even requesting? The craziest one. I don't even want to say I'll tell you the amount though. Go. It was uh I think it was like like 40 racks. Jeez. Listen it's a blessing to be a blessing. You know what I mean? It's always a blessing to be a blessing but I'm telling you man you have to set your boundaries because people will take advantage of you especially family and people that you came up with and the funny thing about people that you came up with they be asking for requests. Will you be thinking to yourself like we was never this cool? We didn't kick it like that for you to be asking for this. Are you serious? Yeah. Can I ask you guys a question? Sure. One thing I've noticed like being around very you know successful rich people is I'm always shocked when there's like a dinner situation how everyone expects that person to pay. Well I got a rule. So how do you guys deal with that? Like I always if there's a bill I just pay. You just pay? But that adds up. Yeah I got a rule. I don't pay for dinner if I'm out to dinner with anybody who got more money than me. I love that rule. You said that the first weekend we hung out. It's the truth. Well we hung out with Rihanna and she was paying for all this shit and you're like I don't pay for shit if there's someone richer than me. That is a rule that has existed for over a decade. Why would I disrespect somebody? Why would I disrespect people like that? Like I know you the baller Let me give you a chance to pull out that black card. Ball out. I'll reach for the wallet. I'll... You sure? Yeah I am sure. Thank you man. I appreciate it. I'll just pay for that shit bro. Now it gets tricky when you're hanging out with other people who got money. But like I usually just pay for it. Now there are certain circumstances like if we all go agree to do a thing you don't want to like insult people I think too. Right. Like if we're all going we're all going to the movies or something like that everybody will get their own ticket. That's easy. But if we're all going to go I'm trying to think of a good example like let's say for example we all go and we decide to have this ball and out weekend. If I just pay for it even though I'm friends with successful people it's almost a little insulting. So it's like I think you just split it. Like if we go and have weekends my wife will keep like a an excel sheet. And at the end of the weekend let's pay this. And then what I'll usually do is that if I've invited people out I'll take care of one or two things. We have a big dinner. We go out partying. I'll take care of that. See I'll take care of the lodging. Because for me it's like the people like that I can invite out or I want to come as people whose company I enjoy because you curate the vibe. This is also non-work things. Anything work related I pay for. Non-work things. We're all just adults hanging out. But see I've always wanted to be the adult I needed as a child. So like if there's like people that come up in this business I know how it feels to not have hustling. You know what I'm saying? And I didn't have people that I could turn to and say I'm a little short on rent and all today you know what I mean? Like other than my mom right? So it's just like for me if somebody comes to me with stuff like that I don't have no problem helping out. The people there are more important to me than the bill. So if the people there can't afford the bill we'll make it affordable. Because the people being there is more important. Absolutely. I agree. I agree 100%. I want to salute to Doja Cat. I feel like we've been talking about Doja Cat the past few weeks on this podcast. Yo you were right by the way about the billboard chart. Oh I'm sorry did I drop the gun? Oh I'm sorry wait what is that? Wait is Doja Cat back on top? She's in the back number one. Wait I thought last week she was it dropped down. She was number two. She was number two last week. Why? What was number one last week? It was number one last week. I thought it was Draken Sizzle. Draken Sizzle was number one last week on billboard. Hold on isn't that the song that you said wasn't really popping and then when it was number one on billboard everybody was like look at this idiot Charlemagne he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. I said that? He's an asshole and he's just a hater because it's the number one song and you said well anybody can make a number one song all you got to do is buy streams and the next week it won't be number one again. Well it must still be number one. Is it still in top ten though? Real quick when it comes to buying the streams I don't think that Drake and Sizzle had to buy streams. Well not even Sizzle. It wasn't that Drake bought streams. Drake and Sizzle are Drake and Sizzle so they're massive artists. They're massive artists. The curiosity is going to make people bigger rapper alive. One of the biggest R&B artists alive. They come together play a song. People are going to be curious. They're going to run to go out of curiosity. Radio's going to play it crazy out of curiosity but like we said last week on the podcast the test is how long does it stick around and what I said was... It's like Celebrity Tequila. Celebrity Tequila. You know what I mean? Everybody drops a tequila. It's hot for a month. But what happens to you from there? It's like Celebrity Tequila. Our podcast. Oh I'm in here? Oh wow. I didn't know I was in this article. It's a Billboard article. What is it for certain about this album? Anyway all I'm simply saying is we were saying how Doja Cat painted Town Red. I was like yo that's a real hit record. The reason it's a real hit record is because it was number one before. It's been on the charts you hear it everywhere. You felt it. You feel it. You hear it in the clubs. You hear it when you're out at restaurants. You feel it. It's all over Tik Toks. It's on Instagram. So a number one hit. So this week Doja Cat painted Town Red is back number one. SZA is that number two which snooze. Luke Combs is three with fast car. Taylor Swift is four with cruel summer. Zach Bryan and Casey Musgraves is number five. I remember everything. Morgan Wallin is number six with last night. Olivia Rodrigo is number seven with Vampire Gunna. Fuck you mean the number eight. That's another hit record. I mean that's just everyone. Yeah. Number nine calm down. Rina and Selena Gomez dance tonight Dua Lipa is number ten. Drinking SZA is not even in the top ten no more. Wow. Do you think you deserve an apology? No man because I'm never trying to I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just speaking how I feel. You know what I mean? You could just feel it but listen that means nothing because this album comes out Friday. So what you're going to see next week in Billboard is probably four or five of these ten songs are going to be Drake records all for all the dogs. Wait so then is your coordinated rollout with Drake did it flop? No because we hit number one. I mean you didn't stay there though. I mean I told y'all it wouldn't but that's my fault for telling everybody it was playing. But also you can't do all the heavy lifting. I can't you know? You can't do everything. That's right. You already propped them up put them in number one it's like yo come on y'all need to do something to stay there. Come on all you drop a video. That's right all you that's right drop a video. You put them in number one. That's right. You literally got articles everybody's talking about. They cursing you out. They defending them. What you talking about this song is amazing. It's crazy. Right? And then all of a sudden all those people they're like yo my god this song is amazing is the greatest song I've ever heard. For whatever reason they stopped listening to the song. Why would they do that? That's right. Have your man's back. That's right. And all of y'all that like to report on these top tens of Billboard I ain't hear you report on that this week. Are you trying to say that they purposely Are you trying to say that they purposely avoided that topic? Yes. And why would they do that? Because they don't want me to be right. Why don't they want you to be right? I don't know man. It's kind of crazy. It is. But I'm not trying to be right guys. What are you trying to be? I'm just see it just just pardon. You know what I'm saying? We just pardoned bro. We just be pardoned but no for all the dog that shit is going to have like five or six to watch. Next week in the top ten it's going to be like five or six Drake songs in the top ten. They're going to crush it. And I mean Doja will still probably be top two, top three with Paint the Town Red but Drake's definitely going to have like five or six songs in the top ten. I don't know though because country music will fucking shit up this year too. At the same yeah country music is on a fucking scale. Like the Morgan Wilde and the Luke Cohns and all that shit has been up there. Taylor Swift. They even fucking shit up. But also this is Drake. The guy knows how to put out fucking great music has been doing it for over a decade so. Do we have any anticipation for the album? Well not anticipation is not the word. Do we have expectations for the album? Oh. I expected to be great. I expect the album to be great. I think if you don't expect greatness for somebody who's the number one rapper alive then you have a very interesting relationship with them. Like how can you call someone number one if you don't expect a project he puts out to be fantastic. You know what I mean? Like if Kendrick is putting out an album we're expecting greatness right? But Kendrick is different because he doesn't give us a lot of music. Sure but at the same time there's still a high expectation. Yeah with Kendrick I have anticipation and expectation because we don't hear enough a lot from him. Yo that is an interesting thing with this with this Drake album. I have zero anticipation for it but once he comes out with it I'm ready to listen. Yeah because it's going to be the talk of the internet. But also like I'm interested I feel like I just said it's going to be the talk of the internet. The talk of the internet. So it's like but that is interesting where it's like I wonder whose music I can't wait to drop. Whose music can I not wait to listen to? What am I anticipating? Kanye. So for example if we heard Kanye's I would love to hear what he's been going through this whole time and see how it's going to translate into the music. Good point. There you go. I don't give a fuck. I would just want to hear the beats because he makes great beats. Whatever beats blabbering on top of them is meaningless but he makes great beats. And I would love to hear about the talks that he's having with Adidas again now that the guy is saying that he's not the things he said is not too bad. They're protecting themselves not him. They're protecting themselves. I mean what the guy from Adidas said is just common sense. For my time I think Kanye West is one of the most creative people in the world. Both in music and what I would call street culture so he's extremely creative and has together with Adi created a easy line which was very successful. And then as creative people he did some statements which wasn't that good and that caused Adi to break the contract and withdraw the product. Very unfortunate because I don't think he meant what he said and I don't think he's a bad person. It just came across that way. And that meant we lost that business. One of the most successful collabs in the history. Very sad. But he also said what he said. He didn't mean what he said. Not that bad. Yeah, but we knew that. Kanye don't mean shit. Did you see the leaks this week? He didn't have to say that. I'm just saying I think he Kanye don't have to say 98% No, the guy from Adidas is one of them. Do you know what Kanye is? I just realized you know how there's been these streamathons recently people live streaming. Kanye is the first live streamer only he didn't hold the phone. He would go to interview to interview dropping crazy thing that would go viral on the internet like the exact same thing we saw happen with foosie. We saw that happen first. Kanye West would be the first person to tie a kaisa knot to fuck out. Kanye West Oh, he would exhaust. We gotta go to bed. Motherfucker won't shut up. Kaisa knot would be under the bed having to fucking do a live stream with Kanye. Pull up those clips where he was talking shit about Cardi and cause I thought this was interesting. Pull up the one actually where he was talking about Nas and Pusha Tita. Cause I thought for a producer this was interesting. Let's do this and let's go to ask an idiot. It ain't gonna be in this situation. It's gonna be a get me out this motherfucking good music shit now. And scooter ain't gonna be no arms still putting my name on a shit. I need to get rid of good music cause I'm great. And guess what? Good is the enemy of great. The fuck I'm doing giving one of love you fucking Tiana. What the fuck I'm doing giving that Daytona album to Pusha What the fuck I'm doing bro? That shit was three dark fantasies that I gave away cop shot the kid, Nas rapping all goddamn off beat on it. Don't even want to shoot the video. Don't even tell me. These motherfuckers don't appreciate all these motherfuckers trying to use me. I'm the greatest motherfucking artist living and I can do everything and I'm not being expanded and my vision is not being expanded to what it is. I'm performing at other people's festivals and shit. I've been wanting a fucking festival. People not touring my shit. People saying I'm locked in a pumpkin. I've been recouped. These niggas made fake black skinheads. I got the fake black skinhead. Marty Van Deere told me I'm sick. I'm sick. Ain't nobody reached me. Y'all boys better not fuck with me bro. These boys better not about to play that black black skinhead on Twitter live quick. And I know my life is on the line when I'm talking. But I know ain't nobody can fill up too high profile. I'm not triple X. So y'all can't take me out. But I bet you I get off my motherfucking publishing. I bet you I get my motherfucking festival. And I bet you I get off a universal. And I bet you y'all I'm talking to Ditas again. See I didn't understand that last part because this is from 2018. I didn't understand the last part about Ditas. But here's my point about this conversation. The reason this is a weird conversation is because you're the CEO of Good Music. You signed these artists and you're a producer. So you chose the executive producer. Are you just finding out now that he sucks? Is that what you're just realizing that as a human being this guy is a raging narcissistic lunatic? Yeah. This is the worst kind of person to like be in business with because he's the type of person that'll do stuff for you. Yep. Right. He cares about it. And then once he does it he acts like he holds it over your head. Like I why the fuck did I give you that? Like because you're the CEO. If Tiana's album killed then it would be because he's the greatest. If it flops it's because he's wasting it on Tiana Taylor. But Daytona was a classic. We love pushing tees, Daytona. I love, I want to love you from Tiana Taylor. That album was great. That song was fantastic. He's absolutely right about Nas rapping off beat on Cop Shop the Kid. I thought that was weird because I actually heard that song. Kanye let me hear that song without Nas on it a long time ago. So I heard it when it was just Kanye and the shit was dope. So I never understood why he put Nas on there and I never understood why Nas was rapping off beats like that. That was strange. I think he was trying to do the young kid thing. You think so? Yeah, like the Yachty type of style. I guess. It was just weird. But yeah, I just don't understand why if you're the CEO of a record label and you're a producer who actually produces for other artists why you would be upset that you gave other artists hit records and classic albums. It don't make any sense to me. I didn't understand it. The lunatic. And why can't Kanye do his own festival? Of course he can do his own festival. We got the black effect. I did a festival. We're doing the black effect again next year. Kanye can do a festival if you want to do a festival. Just do the festival. Yeah, he's so entertaining because you're just watching a crazy person. Yeah. But like and eventually it just starts to get exhausting. Go to the Cardi one Taylor. The Cardi one is interesting too. And the thing about Kanye, Kanye knows how to get the dark web going bro. Like he knows, like listen to this. That's a paranoid shit. What? Yes, Corey is CIA. Like he didn't even have to say it. I know it. You fucking CIA. What are you saying? Corey. Cardi. No, Corey. This is my job. He's an illuminati. One that's giving Chris a shit. That's why fucking Cardi B was over there. Cardi B is a plant by the illuminati. She don't write her raps. She just did like sound as if it was possible. And then make songs like fuck him and then get some money. Yeah. You know, she's literally replaced, you know, Nicki Minaj purposefully that they put her there and that she doesn't know what to do and she's just a fucking she has no idea what the fuck is going on. She thinks this is a blessing from the universe. There ain't no blessing from the fucking universe. That's not some paranoid shit. What's so interesting about this one, right, is what about what does Kanye think he's doing that would make the CIA and people want to kill him? I'm just saying what does he think he's saying? What does he think he's doing that's so revolutionary that would make some the government want to take him out? Yeah, I mean this is trying to run for president. Run for president. This is a crazy person. I'm just saying some type of logic of what he can say. The narcissism is there. So, yeah, also the other thing that's so funny about the industry plant thing is just like if the industry was actually good at planting, that's all they would do. Like, they don't have control of it. You don't have control over Cardi B's personality. She has a gift from God that when she talks into a microphone in any interview conversation, Twitter, whatever she is a lightning rod. You're paying attention. She's funny. She's interesting. She's passionate. And she had this before she was even doing music. Exactly. She was doing it on social media when she was doing sketches and just talking. I was literally on the internet saying Cardi B is a superstar. Cardi B for president. So did the industry plant her? Come on. Or was she a superstar? The industry was like how can we make money off the superstar? Bro. That's not a plant. I had Cardi on Uncommon Sense on MTV 2 back in like 2014 or some shit like that. It was before Love & Hip Hop. You just knew Cardi B was a star. She just had it. All you got to do when somebody had that type of star power and they garner an audience figure out what you're going to feed the audience. She decided that it was going to be music. From music it went everywhere else. And I tell you something else. I remember Kanye saying to me one time I loved that line when Cardi says it was something about Gucci and hangers. I forgot what it was. I got too much Gucci. I'm about to run out of hangers. It was some line. I forgot who it was. And he wanted to know who was pinning for party at the time. I mean for Cardi. And it was party. And then till party he bought party in the right form. So it's just like the most entertaining thing about Kanye is that everybody takes him seriously and he's a crazy person. And that's why it's entertaining. Once you look at him and you're like oh this guy is like crazy. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think Kanye is crazy at all. I think we all deal with our own different mental health issues. But I think when Kanye does stuff like this, it's strategic. And I tell you why. Because three things happen. This leaked footage comes out, right? So people start talking about Kanye. Then what do you see? Him performing music from his new album with Tide Dial-A-Sign. He's building anticipation for his album. Kanye is just like Trump, y'all. Kanye knows how to stir up waters to catch fish. He knows when to come out and start talking. But he don't got the music anymore, man. You don't know that though. The only thing he got it. The reason I would get pushback, he's also a perfectionist. And if you look at the leaked footage he wouldn't want that out there. Like I would say 80% of that you can't even hear what's being talked about. I'll tell you why I say stop it. Remember when Kanye was doing all those short projects? He did one with Cutty. He did one with Nas. He did one with Tiana. Those weren't perfect at all. That's why Nas was off beat. Watch this leaked situation. You can't hear half of it. It's bad. It's like a super rough cut. I don't think Kanye doesn't care about perfection like that anymore. He just wants attention. He doesn't care about the music. He doesn't care about anything. He's walking around with his girl barefoot and fucking tights because he wants attention. If he really cared about the art he would just focus on the art. But he understands that if he walks around with this big titted, racially ambiguous woman You think she's racially ambiguous? She looks like a Kelsey. She looks like she could be Hispanic. Listen, Kanye knows that he cannot do it on his own. He needs a woman for people to be interested. You think she looks Hispanic? Kanye can't do it on his own. Cuban, Florida. And not only can he not do it on his own he can't do it with a black woman. He needs racially ambiguous, big tit. If he had a black woman it would generate way more interest. No, they don't care. He's tried. No, they don't care. Julia Fox shuts down the internet. Amber shuts down the internet. Kim shuts down the internet. Y'all don't think Amber's black? Bianca Sensori. No, Amber Rose is part black. But she doesn't look traditionally. It's racial ambiguity. I don't think this Bianca chick looks racially amphibian at all. Julia Fox is a straight white girl and that shit blew up. I don't think she looks racially amphibian at the Latina. Nobody cared. That one right there. No one cared. She's Latina? This one. No one cared. He needs basically a white-ish looking girl that got big tits. But it appears that there's not as much of a... I think, I think, I'm going to tell you why the music is interesting me. Not interesting me. To Alex's point I do want to hear what he has to say only because there's nothing else to focus on right now. You know what I'm saying? So for the past couple of years, it's just music. There's no fashion to do right now. There's no sneakers to do right now. It's just music. I'm interested to hear what because that's the only place I'm going to ever give Kanye Genius at. It's in music. So I want to hear what he does. I'll listen. I mean, he's so mind-bogglingly talented when it comes to producing music. There's no question. So I groove you. No matter what, we're going to give him that opportunity. The second he puts it out, we're going to listen to it. Curiosity. Of course. And I think that's why it's a little bit less interest for Drake right now because like, what can he say that we haven't heard? Drake. That's true. That's true. I know some places Drake could take it. If he wanted to go there. I'd love to hear about him in fatherhood. I think that would be fantastic to hear about him and, you know, raising a son even if it's just like one or two records. Like even if it's just one record, like it's like a deep, thought-provoking record about being a father. And if he gives that, I think people would love it but I just don't think he is going to go there. Or tell us about how he really doesn't want to be in love. How he does really want to have a family. He would love to, you know, have a wife. I can only listen to the lyrics, bro. Drake? I'm not saying that people don't. Obviously with Drake, he's got fucking bars. Drake captivates people with his bars. Of course. Of course. Unbelievable. His bars become headlines. Unbelievable, like word economy. It's great. What I'm saying is, oftentimes some of the biggest songs ever I know in a hotline bling I don't even know what the fuck that is. I don't know what a hotline bling is. That should happen today at 220. It did. It did. You should do that. It's Wednesday today, by the way, so everybody gets that joke. That was a great joke. I guess what I'm saying is like there's something about music where even not even understanding the lyrics you're still like, oh my god, this is amazing. There's a reason why he can go to fucking Korea and they can be singing words back to him that people don't even understand. There's something beyond lyrics when it comes to music. That's a great Korean song, by the way. I know when that hotline bling. North Korea coming. It's an invasion. I know when that hotline bling. Here comes China. I guess what I would oh, this is an interesting thing and it's so easy to say from the sidelines, but the anticipation for Drake is I don't think it's been set and I don't think he's tried it, but I think it's been set on what type of album we're about to get. I know he's like, for all the dogs, I'm going back to my thing, but what does that mean? They've done so many different things, what are you going back to? If he was going to put out, let's say, an Afro Beats album, even if people didn't like it, there'd be anticipation because it's like, yo, there's a thing that is he's dabbled in, but he's putting out a whole album? I want to see if he can pull it off. So doing the new thing, at this point where it's like, does he still have it? Because last album, he ain't had it. Maybe last few he ain't had it. You're right. I'll tell you what Drake has that Kanye I don't think has anymore. I think Drake has a devoted fan base for his music. Kanye has a fan base. People like Kanye, whether it's for the antics, for the sneakers, whatever else, but you might not necessarily be checking for his music. Ain't nobody singing new Kanye? Yeah, Drake. He just did so much to dwindle down that fan base. But that Drake shit, bro, I remember where I was doing shows at the mother ship in Austin, and Drake came on and it was like a Drake playlist and the comics and some of the door people there who also comics were rapping to Drake, bro and it was like I mean they, it was like, it felt like I was at a Taylor Swift show. Bro, the way the way that he represented what they wanted to be true in either their lives or their dreams or their aspirations bro and they were all in unison rap. I was enjoying watching them rap and I'm like, okay, that's different. We're gonna go with the old Kanye. We'll do that same shit, bro. That's what you know so interesting. The one thing I would love to see in Hip Hop even though it'll never happen because Kanye insulted Drake's whole community, offended his whole community, I would have loved to see a Drake album executive produced by Kanye. Forget it, see you later out of here. See you later out of here. Man, that would be nuts. You know, and with 40 overseeing it because we all know that the influence that is on Drake, you know what I'm saying? See you later. And I just think that that would have been fantastic. See you later. Drake's album executive produced by Kanye, overseeing by 40. See you later. Man. And on the flip side you could do a Kanye album written by Drake. Fire. You know what I'm saying? Because Drake knows, I think that'll even be better. Apology song to the Jewish community. Yo. You know what I'm saying? Drake, that's how we to the Drake album executive produced by Kanye. Drake has to write the apology letter for Kanye. It's a song but it's an apology letter to the Jewish community. The only person that could save Kanye is his arch nemesis, Drake. I mean this is a Marvel movie. Come on man. I'm not sure if you can stop what is. I mean that would be crazy. But I would love to hear Drake 444. I think that's what he hasn't given us yet. Well he's not there yet. I mean I'm talking about just like. But you know what though, you're right. Because Kendrick gave us that with his last album. That's what I'm saying. You can take it there. Kendrick did the work though. Kendrick was in therapy. Kendrick went, he did the work on himself. That's what I'm saying. Let's do some Ask an Idiots Taylor. I saw Sexy Red yesterday. How was she? I just saw her in rehearsal with a bonnet on. Oh. Cool. Ask an Idiots Taylor. It's truly unbelievable. Love you so much. Junior, oh this is a good one. This is a great question Junior Solars. Great, good question. If LeBron came before Jordan would there be an argument about who was better? No. If LeBron came before Jordan and Jordan had, if LeBron had his same career and Michael Jordan had his same career Michael Jordan would go to the number one basketball player of all time. Clearly. Of course. There was LeBron before LeBron and before Jordan. His name was Bill Russell. There was a Bill Russell. People forget. Magic Johnson had won five world championships. He had been to the finals nine times. He was an MVP. Magic stats are ridiculous. What's the generation after mine? Is it Gen Z? I think so. Gen Z or whatever the fuck y'all are? No, I thought it was Pop. Pop this dick in your mouth. I thought I had him. I thought I had him. I thought I had him. I was like, got him. I think I got him. I think I got him. Anyway, they're doing everything they can to convince us that LeBron is better than Jordan. He ain't. It's just not it. He's not the greatest basketball player of this generation, sure. You don't say it, but I'll say that. That's debatable. Jordan is different and y'all didn't see him, so y'all don't know but Jordan is different. Stephen Jackson posted the other day, he posted a picture of LeBron, Michael and Kobe Bryant. He put Michael, Dean and Hump not debating about it. I played against all of them. I'm telling you, Michael being king. I agree with him. King. If LeBron came before Jordan and they had to stay in careers, we'd be looking like what the fuck? If a guy goes to the NBA finals six times and does not lose, finals MVP every single time. I can't even remember how many finals MVP awards he won. LeBron ain't even won with white teammates. What? LeBron ain't even win with white teammates. Okay! I want to hear more. LeBron ain't even win with white teammates playing a significant role. Jordan out here, Bill Parcell taking white to the promised land, bro. John Paxton, Steve Kerr. Luke Longley. Stop it! LeBron can't take no white to a championship. Fuck out of here. Fuck out of here, yo. Fuck out of here. Fuck out of here, bro. I don't want to hear no more about the LeBron Jordan debate ever. You need black guys to win? Wow. You need black players to win. That's cheating. Jordan with trusting white men with the last shot. Come on, man. Come on, yo. That's some shit. I made white men rise to the level they needed to be to in basketball. Had to punch one in the face. Had to punch one in the face. And he went on to be an amazing coach. Okay? God damn it. You cannot be considered one of the greats to play basketball if you ain't taking white people to the promised land. Bro, think about it. LeBron ain't taking no fucking players to the promised land. So he's not even in there. Literally, he's not in there. I don't even know if you should count the championships. It don't count if you just win with black guys. Bill Russell took like four white dudes. This is man. Kyrie Urban hit the big shot against Golden State. Ray Allen hit the big shot against Motherfucking Dispers. If you did not take white people to the championship on your back. Wow. Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan took fucking European players. European white boys. Holy shit. Before they were nice. Had to go find these bums. Damn. I'm just saying LeBron, they tried to do it last year with Austin Reeves and it ain't happening. That's the big three. Now I saw the picture as LeBron Anthony Davis and AR-15 Austin Reeves. No, he got traded. He's somewhere else now. We don't even know. I saw the promo pics the other day. We don't even know if you can't take white guys to the championship and you're not considered one of the greatest ever. Give me more greats. Give me more greats. Y'all can give me one more great? Bird. Larry Bird. Larry Bird was white though. That was a white team. Larry Bird ain't white. That was a white team. By the way, that Boston Celtic team. I told him, I said he took four. That's the whitest NBA team ever, you know. That's the whitest NBA championship team ever. Larry Bird's not white. He's not? No. That motherfucker's country black. Kentucky black. Yo, he's a Kentucky black. Bro, look at Larry Bird. You tell me that's a white guy. Look at that guy right there. Zoom in closer. That's a black ass man. Larry Bird. You hear the name Larry Bird. It's a white guy or it's a black guy? Larry got kids? Does he? He don't know. Black ass Larry Bird. They're hit from French League and Larry Legend. Nah, Bird was that guy, bro. We don't respect Bird like we should, man. They don't put, Bird ain't in the conversation enough. Well, maybe Bird ain't take, did he take? He really deserves it. Oh, come on, man. Name other people. Other people with greater basketball. Tim Duncan took the whites. He took some whites. Magic Johnson took some whites. Magic Johnson had Kurt Rambis on there. Oh my God. Yeah, he took some whites. Dirk was white. Yeah, Dirk was white. Hakim Alajuan. One white guy. Barely. Who was the white guy on that team? You gotta take that dream shake. What dream? I have a dream. I have a dream I get a fucking championship. That's the dream I fucking got. But now with you, that's greatness, bro. Carmelo. Never got a championship. Couldn't take the white up there with him. He had one of the greatest whites ever to play the game of basketball. Oh my God, if you gave that fucking white to Jordan, what would have happened? Man, come on, man. You need to be debating who's the greatest point guard of all time. John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Steph Curry. It's not even close. Obio Mayadon says, what do y'all think is the next big investigation that'll change humanity forever? Easy call, extraterrestrials. I think it's going to be extraterrestrials are what's like living creatures under the water. Human like species under the water or maybe actual humans under the water. The reason the earth is 75% water, I think it's a reason that human beings are 75% water. I think that there's a reason we can't live without water. I think that there's a much bigger connection to water than we even know. I think there's a lot of shit down there and maybe that's where aliens go to just cool out for a little bit. I agree with that. I've seen it. I'm telling you, I've seen it. It went over to some of y'all. If you don't scroll down, Taylor, so we can stop listening to this. I'm telling you, that green light and in and out of the water, man. Carlos Miller was there. He saw it with me. He saw it. Go down, go down, go down. We were both high. We were, but that has nothing to do with it. Who would win a rap battle, Charla or Andrew? Come on, man. No, Charla washed me, man. Big Charla. You know I make him holla. Never been a scholar, but I can make a dollar. Ooh, shit. Okay. That was kind of her. Big Taylor. What was it? Char Van Winkle. Shut up. What, Taylor? What was it? Something Van Winkle, right? Why you get upset just now? Dizzy, go off, Dizzy. Go off, Dizzy. Dizzy, go off. Go off on Taylor, Dizzy. She told me to stop. You don't want to hit a boss? Why not? I'm going to get back for the BET. Name three directors. I forgot that cipher. I'm body deciphered. The underscore corner says name three directors you would trust with making brilliant idiots the movie. Ooh. I want to do that one day. You know what I was thinking, man? I want to do a 2B movie. Like I want to do a movie that just sucks on purpose. Like it's so bad. You know what I'm saying? You don't think that'd be funny as shit? That's funny, all the people on 2B are like, damn, my movie was good. I'm really trying hard on that one. Y'all need to try harder. That's the comedy of it. I like it. I'm not against it. I like seeing shit like that. That's the type of shit that actually makes me laugh. Imagine we did a 2B... Bad acting on purpose. Everything's bad on purpose. You know what I'm saying? That shit would be hilarious. I don't know who the director is. You don't need a director when you do a 2B movie. What are the damn cameras on? You can say action. What else we got, Taylor? Let's do a couple more. When is Andrew going to reconsider running for president? J-Roo Dinsonsay wants to know. When is Andrew going to reconsider running for president? I don't want that shit. I don't want to complain about politicians like everybody else. What a privilege that is for us to be in. Right? How privileged are we? Just bitch about politicians all day. Never run not one fucking time. We don't want any responsibility. We just want to cry and complain. That's all for all because they put the power in our hands. When they put the power in the voters' hands, the voters are like, I am the one who put you in office so I reserve the right to complain about you all fucking day long. 100%. This is a great one. This is a great one. I like these two. What's something you noticed about your fame compared to Guy Codes? I'm in... There's more money. You know what I mean? No, I don't know. I don't think about fame like that to be honest. This is way more... I guess where I'm at right now is way more satisfying because people know me from the things that I'm proud of. So they don't know me from a three-second edit of me going like, shave your balls, Guy Codes. They know me for the thing that I've dedicated my life to which is stand up. And the other thing that I've dedicated my career to which is podcasting. So it's awesome to be known for the thing that you're most proud of. That is the coolest thing. I think if people went back... Don't get me wrong, people that watch Guy Codes definitely know to cast the Guy Codes but if they went back and watch Guy Codes now, it would blow their mind even more. What we were able to get away with? Not that but just the people. Oh, the talent was great. It's you, it's me, it's Duval, Carly Aquilino, it's Pete Davidson, you know what I'm saying? Nicole Byer. Aquafino was girl cool but you would go back and watch it now and be like, oh, shit. Everybody in comedy came through this show? Yeah. You'd be like, oh, okay. It would actually hit harder now I think. Alright, last question. Dom D says, name someone who is better at their craft than anyone else besides Michael Jordan. Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather. Outside of sports. That's what I would ask. Name someone who is better at their craft than anyone else besides Michael Jordan. Charlemagne the God. I'm okay. Charlemagne the God. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I'm genuine at that. Who would it be for comedy you think? Living, living right now. Either or, living or dead. I mean, I mean, I think Patrice for me, that was the best that I ever saw done. Obviously, Chappelle Bill Burr. What craft though? When you say Chappelle, I would say sketch. That's top of the top. When you talk sketch, that's when I put Dave in the Jordan echelon. Don't get me wrong, he's up there as a stand-up. Of course. But I think there's still a debate. I think even with Chappelle, you might can debate in living color. I'll be honest, and I haven't seen as much living color. Obviously I've seen plenty, but I don't think anything has touched. I think the closest Chappelle is actually Key and Peele. Key and Peele has phenomenal sketches. Key and Peele has phenomenal sketches. If I had to debate in living color in Chappelle, I might put in living color over Chappelle. Really? It's really good, but you have to also take into impact. Impact is so big. Living color had impact back then. I like Chappelle though. I mean, Chappelle was a different time, but in living color definitely had that impact back then. It was more groundbreaking. Living color was doing everything everybody's trying to do now, but they did it effortlessly and organically. I'm talking about just from the diversity play. Every single race was represented on living color. Ethanel still had the numbers. Ethanel was on fucking NBC every week. Fox was first starting. That's still a networked out. You're talking about a legacy television show that created all the comedy stars in the last 30 years and then a brand new show that has culture. But once again, it's like Diet Code. Go back and look at it in living color. You talking? Jim Carrey. Jamie Foxx. Jay Lowe. Kenanari Wayans. Marlon Wayans. They had monsters on in living color. Tommy Davidson. In living color had Damon Wayans. In living color had monsters. For that time period no show has put out bigger names. Jim Carrey. And Jamie Foxx alone. Alone? Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx alone on the same show. SNL? Listen, I'm talking about don't get me wrong. SNL, this is prior. When does SNL have Chris Rock, Dana in the early 90s? Chris wasn't even on that long though. Chris was on a living color for a little while. He was on, you got to give him credit for it. Listen, don't get me wrong. SNL, you look at the pedigree, but you're also looking at 30 years or something like that. I'm talking about the same cast. Right. Like Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey were on the same cast. Now correct me if I'm wrong. When I think SNL and I think of Icon, I'm talking about Icons that came from SNL is Will Ferrell and Eddie Mercer. Everybody else was stars. There's some stars that came from there. Belushi early. But it's like the impact Belushi was short-lived, right? Right, but really big. Of course it's huge. But you can't compare Belushi to Jim Carrey or Jamie Foxx. Dumb and Dumber, dude. That's Will Ferrell. The other guy in Dumb and Dumber. He was like a dramatic actor. Jeff Daniels, yeah. He wasn't SNL. All those people like Tina Fey and all of them, they're great, they're legends. We're talking about Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey. Those two alone, bro. It's like, god damn. Damien Wayans was on SNL for a little while too. People forget about that. I mean, dude, Damien Wayans had major pain. Damien Wayans had like big iconic comedy. And he also had the sitcom for fucking years. I think he had multiple sitcoms. Yeah, what was that shit called? My Wifing Kids? But even when you think about his characters on In Living Color, handyman. Homie the Clown. You can't tell me Homie the Play That had so much impact in culture back then. I thought that... So did Chappelle. That's what I'm saying. Everybody was quoting Chappelle. Yeah, it's hard to compare In Living Color with Chappelle's show because In Living Color was such an ensemble cast. It's like Wu Tang versus Jay-Z. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like there were so many superstars, icons on In Living Color. It's hard to compare that. How many seasons was In Living Color? With the cast that was Monsters, probably four or five. So it was short. Yeah, it was really short-lived. Yeah. George Carlin as somebody who's better at their craft than anybody else. Besides Michael Jordan. Tom Hanks. Oh, dude. Tom Hanks is a fucking amazing actor. I'll say Robert Green as a writer. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. What about directors? Of course, Sezy. Sezy or Nolan. Tarantino. Oh, Tarantino. Fantastic. That's what I want to do. That'd be fucking amazing. That's his comeback. That's the movie directed by Quentin Tarantino. Yo, what about J.K. Rowling? Fire. Harry Potter girl. Who has created something of that size and success? Yeah, but what do you consider her? If you're saying an author, is she the Michael Jordan of authors? Yes. I think she's the Michael Jordan of that genre. No, no, no. She's a teen fantasy or something. Oh, okay. Young adult fantasy, the go. Yeah, I think that when you talk about people like that who've created something that is that's not even shifting culture. You created a culture. Bro. I mean, you could... Oh, shit. You could say she's the greatest author of ever. If you want to talk about the actual impact of her writing. No, they would say Shakespeare is the go. Shakespeare might not have been one person. Shakespeare might not have been one person. Shakespeare ain't gotten a ride that Universal Studios. Yo, that's facts. Shakespeare ain't got a ride that Universal Studios. Ain't nobody dressing up as Shakespeare for Halloween, Christian. It's been hundreds of years, and they're still performing Shakespeare in the park right now. Let's see how long Harry Potter is going to last. Pull up before we go to... That's hundreds of years. I think Shakespeare might be kind of trash on the lowl. Hundreds of years, bro. making the movies and still re-making the two. What's the most fireshakes bitch shit before we get out here? I mean, there's Romeo and Juliet. They had Hamlet. Garbage. What? Romeo and Juliet is garbage? No. When you go back and watch it, Hamlet? Hamlet, they killed it. What's the one with the black dude? Othello. He beat it a black fucking play back in the day. That was crazy. D'Angelo killed it, I should do it. I saw that. That should sound like a fucking cigar. Othello sound like cigars, bro. A mid-summer night dream. Go give me two Othellos, yo. Taming of the shrew. Who the fuck can't tame a shrew? What's the state, bro? Y'all making excuses for this trash shit, yo. Yo, do we really, do we low-key like inflate how good British things are? This Shakespeare shit kind of trash, yo. We kind of do that, yo. Yo, you know how I know this shit trash? We try to do that, yo. Because the Beatles, you be shitting on the Beatles. Now Shakespeare, I think that Great Britain had us a seduce that everything that comes out of there is the most sophisticated thing. It might be the accent. Yeah, actually, oh shit. Yo, you know how I know Shakespeare trash this whole time I thought Shakespeare was a poet? Yo, Shakespeare was from Brooklyn, nobody giving a fuck. He was from Brooklyn? If he was. Oh. If it was like, if it was like, Juliette. Let me buy you a dollar piece. By the way, would have been way better. I thought he was a poet all of this time, yo. He was a poet. He did that, too. Pull up a little, just pull up a little bit of this shit, man. Sonnet. The Merchant of Venice. Just click some, put Shakespeare lyrics. Put best Shakespeare lyrics, Taylor. Oh, quotes, quotes. Go to quotes. Let's go to quotes. Now he got bars, yo. Let's see, man. Let's see. Yeah, but if we talk about living a test of time, like that's crazy, bro. I don't know. The only person you could put it up like is whoever wrote the Bible. That's the only one that's last on it. The Bible always slapped like it used to. To be or not to be, that is the question. Oof. All the world stage and all the men and women but that's not a bar. To be or not to be, that is the question. That's hard. That's not even a question. Oh, here's a fire bar. Here's a fire bar. A horse. Damn, bro. Yo, Shakespeare said the course of true love never did run smooth. We are such stuff as dreams are made on. Nah, that was hard, that was hard. Bro, come on, man, yo. The course of true love is never smooth, but that's... Dr. Seuss washes Shakespeare. Dr. Seuss puts Shakespeare up. Go to Dr. Seuss. Now, we look at all those bullshit we just read. One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish? Come on, come on. Green eggs and ham? Come on, go to Dr. Seuss real quick. Look, look, watch this. Dr. Seuss shit slaps. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Taylor Taylor smells so bad. One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Taylor's a turnist. Yo, look at this shit. Today you are you that is true it in true. There is no one as alive that is you it in you. Man, Shakespeare wipes sucks dick. Yo, today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is gonna get better. It's not. Come on, man. You just like it because it rhymes, son. Yo, the more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you'll go. Come on, yo. Shoespear. Don't... Shoespear. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happens. That's a bar, yo. I ain't holding on, that's a bar. Yo, Shakespeare is on weak legs. Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. Man, get the fuck out of here, Shakespeare. Yo, get the fuel, Shakespeare. Get the fuck out of here. Dr. Seuss wipes his ass with Shakespeare. Go down, go down, go down. Come on, man. Today, I shall behave as if this is down, hold on. If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew. Just go right along and you'll start happening too. Man, you are crazy. It's better to know how to learn than learn how to know. I like nonsense. It wakes up the brain cells. That's why people like brilliant idiots. To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world. All right, case closed. Dr. Seuss over Shakespeare all day, every day. William could never. Never. William could never. Never. I know he was dropping bars like that. Because you don't pay attention. I thought it was all camera on lyrics. What? I thought it was all that. By the way, camera on over Shakespeare, bro. Oh, yeah. Camera on, fuck Shakespeare up. Oh, yeah. Pause, pause, pause. I get computer's putin'. Get the fuck out of here. You still don't know what I mean. I get computer's putin', I get shakes shaking. Bullshit. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're intelligent, you think we're brilliant, you're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast and you think we're just a couple of idiots who don't know shit, you're right too. It's the brilliant idiots podcast. Thank you for listening.
