Alumnus. Uncommon sense alumni. Oh my god. Our good sister, Zuri Hall. Who knew? So she turned him back to white women. Let's read now. Let's read. Hold on. Zuri turning back to white women. Is that the last one? It says a few months after Nicole and Kelsey called it quits for good. He sparked romance rumors with access Hollywood correspondent Zuri Hall and October 2022 Hall was spotted sitting in his family's suite at a chief's game. Now let's stop there for a second. What? Oh, that's the mood. Who else was sitting? That's the mood. I'm saying who else class who else was sitting in the family's suite? Sit you next to mama, let mama let you out. That's it. That's his game. That's his wrist. Try to try. He's rinsing them up. What the kids say? That's his wrist. He's rinsing her up, bro. That's his move. Let me sit you next to mommy in the suite. Come on now. So he's running it back. Oh, Zuri. How many women got that story? That seat warm, bro. That's what I'm saying, yo. How many women got that story, man? How many women are sitting next to mama in the suite? Because I would think you ain't just sitting nobody next to mama in the suite. No, it got to be something special. There are somebody you're trying to make feel like they special. Oh, you think it's all game? Do you think he's hustling Taylor? He's a football player. It's all about game. That was hard. Come on, man. Come on, man. Sleuth all good, sister Zuri Hall. Zuri, I will be asking you about that when I see you. And then look at the end. One white woman, not just one white woman, because that is D-white woman. The poster child for all white women at the moment. Taylor Swift. So here's the thing. What's Taylor's angle here? Because I have a little theory. Oh, let's go now. Now, keep in mind, you wanted to Swiftie's favorite. Oh, that's mother. Okay, okay, okay. I can't believe y'all do that. Yeah, that's mother. Okay, let's go. That's mother, that's mother. That's what Bernie, this is all about, baby. No, that's mother. No, that's crazy. Okay, what is, Taylor Swift has done literally almost everything you can do in music. She's only has one more thing to really accomplish. Have a baby? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's a good breed. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, they're gonna have a gigantic kid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's no question. But there's one more thing in music that she has not done yet. And it's quite difficult for her to do because her fan base is so different. But it is the highest of the high mountain tops in music, only the greatest of the greats get to do this event. The BET Awards. The BET Awards. The BET Awards. And Taylor, Taylor has yet to do the BET Awards so she figured the best person, the best person to get her into the BET Awards is the dude who's been knocking down all the women that are at the BET Awards. I'm just saying, he's been giving them the Malone White. I see the logic, I didn't know the logic. He's been giving them the Malone White. I didn't believe that until this morning seeing Taylor, Lust over Travis Kelsey, seeing Lauren LaRosa, Lust over Travis Kelsey. Anymore. What do you mean, not anymore? Travis got a fucking crazy ass mustache and he looked like he for the whites now for real. Hold on, he just looks like me. He just looks like me. What's wrong with that? Because he's with Taylor Swift, he's for the whites. Is that all I've been telling you? You think I'm for the whites? I'm not against them. I'm not against the whites. I'm against them. I'm for everybody. Whites included. All lives matter. Tell them all lives matter. This man has a whole history of sisters and supreme outfits. And now all of a sudden- He changed his look. Look, you notice that? Zuri did that, yo. We got to listen. Listen, Zuri did that, bro. Zuri might have done, did that. Zuri did that. Zuri did that. You think so? Bro, we spent one week- I didn't know Zuri was on this list. I was just reading page six. I didn't know. And no one but I'm like, Zuri? Alex and I spent one week in a Winnebago and Burning Man with Zuri, and we both immediately married white women. Jesus Christ. This guy is crazy. This guy is crazy. Oh, I'm just saying. This guy is crazy. I didn't think it was related, but now I'm starting to think it might be related. I don't know. Alex might be related. No, I'm with a Spanish robot. Not all good sisters, Zuri turned on the mayonnaise. Jesus turned water to wine, Zuri turned water to mayonnaise. That's a fact. She turned the salad to mayonnaise. Mine's more- Tala, the salad of mayonnaise is crazy. Mine's more like a aioli. Yeah, yeah, mine's a little bit- But here's the thing. I think Taylor wants the Super Bowl. I think she wants to do Super Bowl halftime show. It is- She got about two years away. She might have two years away. That being said, right now her fan base is so removed from the Super Bowl, but if she dates one of the most successful NFL athletes in history, you could argue the greatest tight end career of the position. All of a sudden her fan base becomes ingratiated with the NFL. The NFL players start to recognize her. The fans start to recognize her and her greatness, obviously the greatest alive. So she ends up doing the halftime show. I think it is completely possible. You know why I'm not- I believe that theory because there are women over the past couple of days. I'm not even going to lie who have pissed me off real bad. Oh, why would I have? Because they have said things to me. Man, football is about to be popping. I'm like, football is about to be popping. I'm like, do I take this bait? Maybe she's talking about soccer. No, no, no. I'm like, maybe she's talking about soccer. So I'm like, what do you mean football is about to be popping? They're like, the NFL, everybody's talking about the NFL. I'm like, yeah, it's like they do every year. Like, it's the NFL. Like, it's the biggest thing in America. Yeah. And she was like, no, because Taylor Swift was at the game and Taylor's bringing so much attention to the sport. She is though. I wanted to throw my fucking phone across the room. They're right. She ain't buying it. Yo, they're right. She's probably. She's not doing it. She's not doing it. She's not doing it. He's not doing it. We do the thing he does every day. I know. He's not doing it. Listen, she's bringing 60% of the population of football. Football is a very small sport when you think about it. It's just the men watch it. But now that the men and women watch it because of the goat, I think the sport is really going to take off. Mad women watch football and mad daughters, mad fathers of daughters who like Taylor, definitely watch football. Fathers of daughters who like Taylor watch football. That's a fact. Absolutely. That's a fact. But them daughters weren't watching until Taylor started watching. They're like, oh, it's popping now. They're not watching it now. Taylor's going to do for the Chiefs what Dion's doing to the Colorado Buffaloes. How everybody likes the Buffaloes. Yes. The Chiefs are going to be so many people's team now. 100%. Just because Taylor is at the game. 100%. You know? They're going to have to change the name now. The difference is Dion made a commitment to Colorado Look how cool they look. Taylor has not made a commitment to the Chiefs yet. Look how cool they look together. Look how swaggy they look together. Not correct me if I'm wrong. Taylor has a reputation for dating a lot of different gods. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Watch your mouth when you're talking about the God. Pull up Taylor Swift dating his thing. Yo, you're talking about the God right now. He has a lot of... Pull up Taylor Swift dating his thing. If you do that, we'll be scrolling for days. Why? Yo, yo, yo, yo. By the way, by the way, his feet... You gotta watch your mouth, talk about a woman like that. By the way, there's nothing wrong with Travis Fit right there. That's still very like fans from euphoria. God bless you. Nah, nah, nah. The fit is fine. The fit is Kid Super. The fit is Kid Super. It's absolutely fine. Let me tell you something they did that was genius. But that mustache got a good one. He looks like he was from... Hold on one second, guys. A man is talking. So, so the fit right there, shout to our boy, Calm and Kid Super. Has a woman on it? Shout out to your boy who comes. No, Call him. Yeah. What the fuck did you say? Call him over here and... What the fuck is going on there? You know how nice I am? His real name is Calm. And I still flipped it. That's how nice I am. I told you to say Calm. I told you to say Calm. I know what you thought. Pull up Taylor Swift's date in history. While you do that, the jacket he's wearing has a woman on it. And it was called like... It's called like Summer Woman. They changed the jacket title on their website to Summer of 99 or some Taylor Swift song. So it started to get all the Google hits. And it was fucking genius. Did he sell out? I'm sure. Of course, bro. Nah, they've been killing that shit. Anyway, sorry. Go on. Pull up Travis. I'm not Travis. Taylor Swift date in history. I can tell you the date in history right now, right off the top of my head if you guys want. There's one. That's where it starts? Joe Jonas. Joe Jonas, John Mayer. Okay. Travis Kelsey. Lucas Till. Lucas Till. Taylor Lawner. Taylor Lawner. Oh, I remember that. Come on. That's werewolf. You know? Corey Monteef. Monteef. So we already have four. Her history is already longer than Travis Kelsey, right? Yeah, but you don't think Travis was knocking him down as well? Taylor has to date a guy. Travis is obviously knocking him down. Nah, nah, nah. Nah, you put him in his family suite next to his mom. Yeah. You only four of them. The rest, he was just knocking him down. Keep going, Taylor. John Mayer. John Mayer. Okay. Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal. Connor Kennedy. Connor. Harry Styles. Jesus, when does this end? Yo, yo, yo. I know, I know, son. My God. This is not easy, y'all. My God. A girl can't go on a date? No, it's not a girl can't go on a date. A girl can't go on a date. You don't know if they dropped the bottom out of it. I'm not one of these people who assume, just because you dated a person, you had sex with them. I'm just, I'm not judging on that. Yo, you saw the picture they was posting of her knees looking black and blue? No. What? You know, they got a picture of her at the game and her knee has like a little black and blue on it and people on Twitter was like, okay, Travis putting her to work already. Oh my God. Hold on. You saw what Travis said on Andy. Come on, Travis. You don't even date a girl as she give hate. Calvin Harris is not. If she don't give hate. Unless she don't give hate. How did that even come up? We'll get to that. How did that even come up? Calvin Harris. Damn you. Listen, we're going to do a deep dive on this title. We're going to dive. We're going to do a deep dive on this title. Sounds like someone's obsessed with Taylor. Sounds like someone's into the Taylor mafia. Welcome to the game. Like Troy Taylor. Calvin Harris. Oh. Shout out to Calvin Harris. Jesus Christ. Tom Hiddleston. We had 10 y'all. She can't go on a date. Can we make it? Yo, why are you shaming this girl? Why are you shaming this girl? Joe. All winners 11. Okay. Maddie Haley 12. And that's Travis. Travis is 13. Travis is 13. The woman's 33 years old. She can't go on a date. I'm not an idiot. One man a year. You can't date one man a year. This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm telling everybody. Travis, you better focus on football. Okay. Taylor is just having fun. Oh, you think Taylor's using them? Taylor's living her life, as you just said. She's 33 years old. She's rich as fuck. She likes to kick it, have fun, go out to eat, have a dinner date. The media makes, by the way, none of these might even be romantic relationships. It's just pictures that we see and people say, somebody's standing next to this person, so they could be dating. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But even if they were dating, it's totally okay. She's an independent woman. She could do whatever she wants, even if she wants to get the bottom drop down. Don't worry. Yo, listen, all I'm saying is- She needs material for her albums. That, yo, the album, you know what she does is she'll usually be with the person, then that's reflected in her art, as all of us do. Yeah. So what do you think these songs are going to be about? Tight ends. Tight ends. How she had to loosen up some tight ends. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Oh, you think she's pegging? Do you think she's pegging? You think she's getting behind? That would be funny as shit. You don't think she's getting behind. Packing Travis with a fucking kid super customized dildo. Yo. That'd be crazy. Shake it off. Rinse it off. Listen, all I'm simply saying is, Travis, you need to focus on football. Taylor's just having a good time. You know what I'm saying? Black women, he'll be back. Oh, wow. He'll be back. Okay, look. Are you going to take him back? If he brings that beard back, you really need the beard. I need the beard. Because you want to cover as much white skin as possible? Why do you need the beard? I want beard on my black man too, though. But mustache is way more classy. Mustache is more classy. No, it's not. A goatee is more classy. No, a goatee is for pedophiles. If you want an actual classy, elegant man, it's a mustache. Come on, think about it. You want to solve a crime, mustache? Taylor should have been a summer flanger. You're not supposed to sleep with white women after Labor Day. He's a white man. Now he, oh, now he's a white man. I've been to the white man. All before, y'all had your poster on his wall with his jersey, like he's retired. No, he didn't. Talking about how much y'all love Travis Kelsey. All of a sudden, he's a white man. I did not hear y'all identify him as a white man until he started dating Taylor. That's a good point. Who you talking about? Yes, we do. He's fine for a white man. Everyone would say that. I never heard that. You didn't identify him as a white man until he started dating a white woman. Lauren said 87%. You're saying everybody. I'm not saying. You just said everybody. So which one is it? I hate you're making it general. I don't want to speak for black women. Y'all are black women. I'm saying I know a lot of black women. Even Alex said it himself. I know a lot of black women. Even Alex, he thinks Travis is fine too. I do know a lot of black women. Black women like Alex. Keep going. Keep going. Even a black woman like Alex. Excuse me. Now, let's go to Travis. You gotta stop playing this video. It's driving me fucking crazy. Let's go to Travis on Andy Cohen. I think Taylor's trying to cross over. I bet you his next album gonna be R&B. What year was this, man? 2016. 2016. Okay. 2016. Yeah, 2016. We hadn't got the woke culture yet. Okay. I get it. I mean, he looks so different. Exactly. Yeah, I can't believe. Oh, he was on that show though. He was doing a show on E. All right. Okay. Let's hear what he had to say. This is Travis Kelsey talking about his dating deal breakers. Is it a deal breaker if a girl won't sleep with you after the third date? The third date. I feel like that's the breaker right there. That's it? Right. It's three dates. That's like... If you don't have sex the third date, that's it? You won't... I mean, I want to say a deal breaker. But I mean, it's like... What did your mother teach you? Put some questions in there. Okay, let's pause that. Let's unpack that. What did you think of his answer? I don't... You know, it'd be nice to have sex by then, but at the same time, maybe you don't. It's not a deal breaker. It's not a deal. If you really like the girl, Simon. If you really like the girl, it's not a deal breaker. And that's a strange thing to say on national television, because he's going to do one or two things. He's going to make women want to sleep with you before the third date. Or it's going to make women say, I don't want anything to do with him because he only wants to sleep with me. You know what I'm saying? I mean, to be fair, we don't know if we like you until after we nut. So whether that happens the first date or the third date, like... But if you take a girl out for three dates and she doesn't, you know, let you hit and then you just stop calling her. Automatically, that girl is going to think, oh, that's all he wanted me for. No, you just weren't interesting enough to not fuck. It's up to you to be interesting. That's a good... I get what you're saying. You know what I mean? Like... I get what you're saying. Like, you were... What if you're the most interesting woman in the world but you're sticking to your guns? No matter how interesting this woman is, if she don't let me smash after the third date, I'm not calling her back. Then he sucks. But I think that usually... I think, I don't know, I think sometimes women trade sex for being interesting. And if you're interesting, a guy will wait a long time. Now, you might not be the only person he's fucking and you have to put up with that because you're deciding that you don't want to have sex until you guys have been together for X amount of time. But he'll cut that off once... Of course he will. Because he's already into you because you're interesting. It's not their fault that they want to only have sex with you. That's your fault. Yeah. If a guy only wants to have sex with you, that's on you. By the way, I'm... Or you guys just don't mesh. Like, you don't link the things you're interested in or things he's interested, etc. So that's... Yeah. And I'm not, by the way, I'm not mad at any woman who chooses to sleep with a man before a third date. And I'm not mad at any woman who chooses not to. Because if you, like you said, if you're really interested, right, this guy will constantly be there. Not even just to smash because he actually likes you. Yeah. You know what I mean? You guys actually have some chemistry. That's right. I think, to be honest, I think waiting is better. Right? I think waiting is better. Especially just to... Because it gives you, like on your first date, you might be nervous. You might not actually be yourself. So maybe a few dates in, you start to become yourself. And then he rises how much more... Love is too early, but how much more into the real you he is. But it takes a little bit to warm up. Yo, give it six months. I think six months is a great time. You're trying to get people... No, I'm going to tell you why. You got it because you want to watch for outbreaks. Within six months, you're going to see a cold sore or something. I'm dead serious. You got to know about these kind of things. But you won't. Because if you're not seeing it for six months... No, the cold sore is around your mouth. If it's already there. If it's already there. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, I see. That's why you just put on that karmic. Oh, do you have a little situation? Son, do not put that shit on me. Stop it. I... I never even seen it. I've never even seen it. I've been here mad like... Yo, Charlotte... Charlotte, don't do that. Whoa, wait a minute. Don't do that, Charlotte. Why are you so defensive? No, no, no, no. You're being real defensive. Because when y'all start a rumor, I should go. Put you in a spot of a rumor. We passed the question. And you went into herpes, prevent defense. Yo, you did. But no reason. You did. You did. I'll get a hand on this bullshit. That was crazy. If only you went to prevent before, you wouldn't be in this. So if your tail is swift, do you bring this up? I mean, let's watch it. Because I feel like there's one more part that is really interesting. Okay, let's hear it. Okay. Very, very classy gentleman. I didn't say you weren't. Those first two dates are top of the line. Dates. Yes. And then that third one's kind of like a relaxed. I'll take a breath. Is it a deal breaker if a girl has fake boobs? I don't think so. I mean, as long as she's comfortable and very confident in what she looks like and how she looks, I mean, I'm all for it. I like his honesty. I like that answer. Of course I'm frisked. Yeah. Oh, this is like a little embarrassed to ask this question, but I'm going to ask it. It looks like my daughter is here. But okay. Is it a deal breaker if a girl, if a girl doesn't like to give her own sex? Ah, sounds like a deal breaker to me. I agree. Oh, Ramona agrees. Why did you give my high five to that? That was crazy. That was kind of like... She probably feels the same way, like if a guy doesn't give her or... Oh, okay. She says she agrees and then gave him a high five. Oh, okay. That makes... I took it as if she was going to give him some hate. That's how I deal with it. And her daughter's right there. She just said my daughter's right here. My daughter's wrong. Bro. How would you high five him after that? You didn't want to ask the question to begin with. And then you gave him a high five. Did anything after that? Let me see if there's no context to this. Let's see. Press play. Ramona agrees. Oh, God. You told me not to ask. He ain't embarrassing. He don't suck dick. Ain't anything embarrassing. See, let me just fuck out of here, bro. Okay, go on. Well, as long as you give it. Okay. Is it a deal breaker? Okay, now we're done. That's context. That's right. That's context. She said as long as you give it. I don't have a problem with anything. Does that mean she wasn't slapping high five to head? Well, yeah. She was saying as long as you give it. As long as it... She receives it. The reason I have no problem with any of this that he said, because all he did is set boundaries. I see a man who has clear boundaries. He sets his boundaries. Got to set your boundaries. And if you don't want to deal with him and his boundaries, then you're going to find somebody else. Yo, how long do we go down on women though? Like, how old is she? What's the age limit to that shit? You know? No, no, no. As long as it's there, you got to do it. Man, get the fuck out of here, bro. You say that now? Are you kidding me? That woman's 60 years old. You don't plan to be with your wife at 60? I do, but I'm not... You won't let a young boy come in there and do it? Oh. God damn it. We go up. Oh. Oh. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, man. Like, Jesus Christ. You got to do it, bro. You don't matter what the age is, you got to get down there, man. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? No, but you don't think it stopped. Like, it got to stop from them. You think when you're 70, they're going to be taking out their teeth and going after? Wouldn't it be better? Without the teeth? No. I mean... Yeah. I mean... Yeah, but when they look up, they look crazy. Right? Like... Yeah, that's a little wild. 70. Oh, man. Man, y'all going to be 72. You ain't going to care. No, we won't care. The dick's still going to be getting hard, bro. Apocino's still like getting babies done. That was DeNiro, but it's fine, bro. All white people are the same. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's all good, yo. This is... Rob Apocino. Ain't Rob Apocino had a baby, too? Yeah, he did. Rob Apocino. Fuck it. Robert, Robert. Yeah. Robert Apocino. Yeah, I'm not mad at Travis Kelsie, man. He's setting his boundaries. Right. Look at them, too. Yeah, he's setting his boundaries. He's letting women know what it is, and yo, it's on you. But if you're a tailor, do you bring this up? No, because we saw the knees, bro. If you're a tailor... There's no issue. If you're a tailor and you're... Okay, if you're a tailor's PR, and this video is out, because this video's only out now because this... And this is what happens when you become another level of famous, because overnight, Travis Kelsie has become another level of famous. That's facts. Just because all of a sudden, he's dating Taylor Swift. Go. Jersey Sales went up 400%. 400%. You know what I mean? He needs to get Pete Davidson on the phone and call and ask to figure out what to do next. Figure out the deal. You know what I'm saying? But... Tailors, people got to be looking at this and saying to themselves, this video is going to make people think things about our girl. So how do you handle this if you're Taylor Swift? I think it's... I mean... I think it's good. I think that it shows a maturity of her, because I think there is still a kind of young girl-ness in Taylor. And this is good. Now she's dating a man who has boundaries and a man with boundaries. You know, now we know what to expect. The sad part about this, though, they're both stars. They've already been spotted out once, right, at the game. By the time they get spotted, three more times. When they see them out on a fourth time, well, two more times. When they see them out on a fourth time, all you're going to see on the social media is Travis Hit. Bust wild. Bust wild. Travis Hit. Whether he hit or not. That's why P.R. got to be a little concerned. Holy shit. P.R. got to be a little concerned. So if they break up before that third hit... Oh my God. If I'm Taylor, I don't let us be seen no more. So Blackwell, would you accept Travis back after he's been rejected by Taylor? I already told you. What'd you say? Bring the beard back. So all it takes is the beard. Bring the swag and the beard back. You can't listen to Taylor. She loved beard. She's from Philly, bro. Yo, it really might be a Philly thing. Guys from Philly come out to womb with beards, bro. Like, come on, man. That's crazy. Sleut the freeway. Like, stop it. Like, knock it off, Taylor. Damn. Yeah, salute to Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. I hope y'all figure it out, man. Power couple. What else we got, Taylor? You want to play your little game, Taylor? Oh, yo, let's play Taylor's game. It's not a game. Oh, we were playing it. Oh, she's number one and by all memes necessary, she had Taylor Swift and Travis. So we covered that. Okay. What else we got? President Biden's fringe gaff during speech calling LL Cool J Boyd. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Let's play the clip. It's just so incredible. Shout out to Biden, the motherfucking goat. You're the great artist of our time representing the groundbreaking legacy of hip hop in America. LLJ Cool J. Jesus Christ. By the way, that boy's got, he's got man's got biceps bigger than my thighs. I think he's paying. And MC Light, both of you. Thank you. He's awkward. Tell them to do a show about it. I feel like every time we give Ukraine, like a trillion dollars, they're like, yo, run up there and say some wild shit, so we'll forget about it. Yo, let them go up there with no prompter. Put that prompter off and let him fire. And that's all we're talking about. Ukraine just got another trillion dollars. Nobody even talk about that at all because this guy's doing his bottom thing. Oh, man. But that was crazy, bro. When he dropped the boy, bro. Yeah, the boy was crazy, but he corrected himself on the boy. No, like, I don't think he means it in a derogatory way. He's recognizing that people might interpret it that way. But he's old. He's 137 years old. Yeah, he's very old. He knows every racial slur. He does. He knows the ones that came, the ones that went, the ones that stuck. And he used them when they would really. When they ripped. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. When that engine was new. Yeah. The thing that bothered me the most about this was him calling LL Cool J, LLJ Cool J. And the reason it bothered me is because when LL came out with his first album, Joe Biden was my age. No. He was 44. I'm 45. But Joe Biden was 44 years old when LL Cool J came out with his first album. LL's been white famous since about at least 30 years. He's been doing the NCIS. That's what I'm saying. And what do you think Biden thought the N stood for in that? Yeah. Taylor, it's what Biden thought. It's not me. Why did you look at me like you was about to attack me? Okay. Now that would have been crazy. What? It was like, I used to watch him on N-Words, C-I-S, N-Words, C-I-G. What the fuck did he like? He go drop one of these days, yeah. I can see. He go drop one. No, I see it coming. I see it coming. I mean the thing about this man is just like even with the word boy, right? He corrected himself. Boy is a white racist word. We understand that. But LL's 50 years old. But context matters, you know what I mean? But he corrected himself in real time. And this is the same guy who once said Barack Obama was the first African American that he's met who was, what he said, clean. You don't remember that? No, I don't remember that. You don't remember that? Y'all don't remember? Hold on. Yo, Biden's the code, yo. Let me get the exact quote back. He's the first one to do it. Oh, well, it matters. Seemed like they know how to shower. Hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me read the exact quote because y'all think I made this up. Oh, I believe it. Yeah, he said, Joe Biden, he says, I mean you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man. Joe Biden describing fellow candidate Barack Obama. No, no, no, no. Let's give some context to this, please. Clean meaning no controversy. Eh? But to say the first mainstream African American, so it's the first mainstream African American you met with no controversy. In politics? You got to be clear about that, though. You just say mainstream. Like, you can't just say... Well, let's see it because I'd like to laugh. I mean, shit. I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man. Yeah, it's a storybook, man. God damn it. I want this to be more racist than it is, but I think what he's... I believe what he's referring to is candidate. Like the first one that has been a mainstream... There's been fringe candidates, for example, like Jesse Jackson. I don't know if you would consider mainstream. There's... Like, name some others. I don't know. I was shocked and ran. But Barak was like coming from within the system, he's mainstream, and I think he's trying to compliment all those other things. But I understand when you're looking at him through the lens of... I just don't think he would ever use that term to describe a white candidate. And there are plenty of necessary... Yeah, we've had a bunch of them already. I'm saying, but it's a bunch of them that's dirty is what I'm saying. Like, you know what I mean? Like, who would be the... Like, who's a clean politician? Even... I don't know if there is one, but if there was one, I just don't think he would use that language. But he's got a history that's... But once again, he's 127 years old, man. Yeah, dude. It's hard for old dogs to learn new tricks. Well, it's embarrassing. He's trying. Well, how do we still have him as a president, right? What? He's trying. He is trying. You know what I'm saying? He is trying. It's like when men, right... Remember when we stopped saying a B word? I never used it that much anyway, but there was a time where a lot of men collectively said we're going to stop using the B word. I love saying that word, man. But we stopped. And then when we started saying things like female... They got upset. ...and told us that was wrong. I know. That's why you always got to stay strong. They're going to be upset no matter what. That's Biden. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Like, that's him. We actually gave you a word to be upset about. You should have been happy. And then we made it nice, and now you can't even... You can't even really make the argument that females disrespectful. And I think... I didn't know it was a thing to some of them. I really do think the correction matters in this situation, because you got to think he's 90, 60 and a half, right? He's nine... What did I fucking say? He's 96 and a half. You sound like Biden, man. Yeah, too. He's 96 and a half years old. Yeah. He was probably using that language for the first 60 years. Oh, so why are they giving him the most complex black names? LL, Cool J, MC, Light. Just give him like Daryl Johnson. If we're being honest, he probably stopped talking like this when he became Barack Obama's vice president. That's when he probably started even working on it, 2008. Just think about that. Your whole life, you were on your other segregationist senators and everybody else. Y'all just free-balling. You know what I'm saying? You're like, can you believe this N-word wants me to be his president, vice president? I want to play this game with you so bad, but I can't say anything. I can't say any of them. You think this color really got to be his president? You know what I'm saying? Do they even have the water fountains in there for that? They probably had them in a class. I'm not even joking. They probably had Joe Biden in a class to teach him what to say and what not to say. I just thought of something. I don't want you to think right now. No, no. I don't like when you think about stuff like that. No, no. When they stopped making the water fountains for whites and for at the time the term was coloreds, they didn't remove the for colored water fountain. They just took away the for colored, right? Yeah. So there was a time where people knew which was which, but would they just not use it themselves? Like, I'm just so, like, obviously the black people were like, nah, I need to try this white water, but where the white people going like, yo, we got to see what's going on over there, like, they're pretty fast. I've thought about that, right? Because if you're a child. Do you know what I mean? No, I thought about that, because if you're a child, right, our kid. Or if you watch sports, you're like, I need to try that. That's how kids are. We're wired to want to do things people tell us not to do. So if you're a white person, and they say this is the four colors only, you're going to be like, well, I want to see what the fuck they drinking. Especially if you're a white person, like playing cornerback, you know? Yeah. And then you're like, wait a minute, like. I want to go see what they drinking. Yeah, like, tie them. But, yeah. Our order had to be times where, like, somebody had to go to the bathroom real, real bad. You're a white person, had to go real bad. And the closest bathroom to you is the for coloreds only bathroom. You know what I'm saying? Oh, wow. Then you go in there and fuck it up like Andrew Wood and blame it on the black people. You know? What do you mean? What do I do? When you go in the bathroom and destroy it. Oh, like, yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, and black people never smell doodles like that. Not like yours. Nobody doodles like that. Honestly, mine are special. No, no, no, no. You're different. But also think about that white guy that got to pee next to black people for the first time in his life. I want to fight. No, no, no. I need to fight. I want to at least hate, right? I want to jump tail, yo. Oh, because she brought up the white. No, no, no, no. Put it back. No, you need to put it back. And you need to be. I put it up. So y'all can see the difference of the water fountains. Taylor typed in black only water fountains. I didn't say that. And a bunch of pictures from prison pulled up. Really? Really? That's what I did. That's not what that is? Taylor, that's what it says right there. That was racial. It says racist water fountains. Oh, she put. That's all she typed was racist water fountains. She found what she's looking for, though. Exactly. I don't see what's the difference between the white and the colored one. The white one looks actually like a sink. Exactly. The white water fountains looks like a sink. The colored one looks like an actual water fountain. And they come from the same pipe. That's crazy. Yeah. Grow up, grow up. We all come from the same pipe, Taylor. That's really shit, man. There's one man that started it all somewhere. When you really think of, that is a great way to look at racism, yo. We all come from one fucking pipe, man. I don't know if it was Adam or Antoine, but there was one man that started all this shit, yo. Yo, do you think Adam was black? Probably. I always figured Adam was white because he had sex with his sister, but he could be, he could be black. Do blacks do that? Yeah, I never understood that black. I never understood that logic in the Bible. Well, actually, I don't know if it's his sister. Technically, it says rib. It was his rib. But what was weird, remember they said, Cain killed Abel. Yeah. And then went off and found a wife. So then where'd they come? Where the fuck did the wife come from, bro? And then I remember reading somewhere when somebody said Cain ended up marrying his sister. So that's where the incest comes from there. Eve was kind of just like, if you could masturbate, and then when your comb comes out, you could turn it into like some type of clay figurine that comes to life. That's, yeah, that could be what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, or it was the rib. Why the rib, though? I figured you don't need that bone. It's crazy, right? Like, why the rib? Every other bone you will need. But the rib, I feel like if you, I could do without one. Yeah, you know. All right, what else we got, Taylor, and buy any memes necessary? Oh, it says Britney Spears. No, no, no, no, no. Britney driving Plyes, crazy. She got Plyes going crazy. Wait, why? Plyes loves Britney Spears. Every time Britney Spears, oh my god. Oh, I didn't see this, man. I didn't know she had that. What the fuck? Remember when Tony Yale said he would never want to beef with Tara Squad? Because then motherfucking Puerto Ricans be dancing with knives? Remember he said that on Drink Chance? Britney saw that interview. Because there ain't no way in hell. What the fuck is Britney, then pour dogs behind her, bro? Bro, just think she was with her fiance for years. He dealt with this shit for years. Waking up every morning, trying to cut a bagel and half, can't find the knives, goes into the other room. Dancing. Britney, I be trying to hold you now, man. Wait, boy, you don't help when you do shit like that. Let her rap for you a little bit, bro. Damn, Britney. What is she doing? I want to see Britney at next year's I Heart Radio Music Festival. Yes, we need that. We need, yo, John Sykes, Tom Pullman, Bob Pittman, Rich Bressler. You got to make that happen, man. Bro. We need Britney Spears, headlining next year's I Heart Radio Music Festival. I don't know what we got to do to get her out the house, what you got to pay her, but she needs to be doing it and bring the knives, bro. God damn. Britney needs to date an NFL player so they can both have CTE together. Just Antonio Brown and Britney Spears just be doing crazy shit all day and it be making the most sense to both of them. Yo. Wow, Britney Spears has fascination with knives, sleeps with one under bed. Britney can't afford security no more, yo. What the fuck is going on, man? Yo, lock her up, bro. We need to lock her up, yo. We need to lock her up, yo. Oh, my God, Britney. This is entertaining. This shit is entertaining, but it's actually sad and dangerous, man. We don't know where this shit could go. No, you got this. Yo, listen, man, I promise you, when you hear Antonio, you'll talk about how members of Terra Squad are dangerous because they be dancing with machetes. That's how that shit looks, man. My God, Britney Spears is a member of Terra Squad. T-S-B-S, baby. It's going down. Let's pay some bills, man. What we got here? Hero Bread. Salute to Hero Bread, man.

I told y'all, Angela has this fantastic drink in stores called Carviva. Carviva detox, it's antioxidant juice. This is the grape kiwi I'm holding. I got to salute Angela, because Angela is now in 300 stopping shops around the country. 300 stopping shops around the country. You can go get Carviva wellness, man. And Angela, I've watched her build this from the ground up. And things take time. I was telling Taylor this earlier, because she was talking to me about just life and being impatient and wanting things to happen now. That's just not the way life works, man. So I watched somebody like Angela, a woman entrepreneur, start this from the ground up. And it's now in stopping shop. It's a great product. Salute to Carviva wellness and to homie, Angela. Now let's get back to the show. Shopes, did you see Usher is headlining the Super Bowl halftime show? I love it. That's absolutely amazing. He's an incredible performer. Music is incredible. I'm very excited for it. Usher's going to be doing his thing at the Super Bowl, man. Yeah, I can't wait to see it. I think we all saw this coming. I remember when they announced Las Vegas was the next site for the Super Bowl. I know, I definitely said that on Breakfast Club a bunch of times. Usher has to headline the Super Bowl. Because he has this residency. He's got the residency there. He's the only one that makes sense. I'm not going to lie. There was a part of me that thought Rocknation was going to go back white just because you've had the weekend. You've had Dr. James Snoop. You had Rihanna. I don't know why I thought that. I should have known better. I mean, look. I really thought this was going to be Taylor's. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. It shouldn't be Taylor. It should be Morgan Wallin or Waylon or whatever, however you say his last name. But he's really over Taylor. For football. It's hard to say that now though. But Morgan's got the N-word controversy. I know. He didn't have that? He had it though. No, he's passed it, but I still think it'd be hard for the NFL to be like... If Dr. James Snoop in 50 Cent and Eminem can do the Super Bowl half-time show. The expectations are lower. For rappers? For rappers. It's so funny you say that because 50 Cent says that all the time. I've asked 50, and you can go look up the interview on Breskole. I've asked him how he gets away with the stuff he gets away with. He was like, because I'm a rapper. I know when to be a rapper. And he's like, I just lean back on that. I'm a rapper. He's a genius with that shit. 50 is an absolute genius with his freedom to operate however the fuck he wants in the world. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He makes movies and TV shows and still gets to act like a rapper and nobody says shit. Yeah, I mean, I get it. Coming from a person who's been labeled a shock, Jack. You can't be shocked when you hear something I've said before. Past, present or future because I'm a shock, Jack. Yeah. And if Shat doesn't work, I'll just be like, I'm retarded. One of the two, one of the two will get me out of this jam. One of the two, one of the two will get me out of the jam. But salute to Usher. Next year is New Orleans. You already know who it'll be next year. Who we got? Come on, man, New Orleans. Morgan Wallace. Nah, bro. You got to go Lil Wayne. To me, you got to go Lil Wayne, Drake and Friends. Because you can't just say Lil Wayne and Friends because they didn't do just Dr. Dre and Friends. They did Dr. Dre, Snoop and Friends. So you got to go Lil Wayne, Drake and Friends and Rollins. Well, Drake opened up for Lil Wayne in the Super Bowl. He's big enough to do it himself. The way Dre and Snoop did. Oh, that they do. Yeah, it'd be Lil Wayne and Dre. And then you bring out Nicky. Juvenile could do back then. Bring out Juvenile. That's what you bring out. Oh, definitely. Definitely bring out Juvenile. Juvenile do back that ass up. BG's out of jail. But then you bring out Nicky. They're not going to bring BG. Sleuth to BG, though. They could, though, if they did Bling Bling. Bling Bling. They could do Bling Bling. They bring... Tiger might come out, you know? But I think if they did it, it would probably, you'd probably see those four just like when Dre and Snoop did it. Dre and Snoop bought Mary, Kendrick, M&M and 50. What about Boosie? Why don't they bring out Boosie? Boosie wasn't part of that family. But still. He's Louisiana. Wipe down. They would keep it cash money, young money. If they did it, they would keep it cash money, young money. And I mean, by the way, everybody that we just named is completely big enough that America knows. Drake, Nicky, Wayne, Juvie would back that ass up. That'd be great. And I'll tell you something else. You said something about Morgan Wallace. Here's the most interesting thing about the last two Super Bowls. And this is why you can't tell Rock Nation nothing. They want to. Emmy would Dr. Dre and Snoop. And they're nominated for five Emmys with Rihanna right now. So Rihanna is going to probably win one. So the Super Bowl halftime show, the last two years have either had a show that's won Emmys or is Emmy nominated. You think Usher's not going to be Emmy nominated? Oh no, Usher's fantastic. That's what I'm saying. Country music is just having such a wave right now that either this year or next year doing a country music artist would just absolutely demolish. And Morgan Wallace is the one to do. I just don't know if the NFL can get past. Just be as Taylor's female. Morgan Wallin is female and male. Morgan Wallin did the song with, say again. He's not binary? He's not binary. His audience is not binary. It is not bound to one gender. Yes, 100%. Interesting. 100%. Interesting. And he got rapped too. You know that's not last night. We made the liquor talk. That's Morgan Wallin? Yes. Did not know. And he got the song with the guy from Chicago. What's his name? He's a rapper? Yeah. I didn't know that was Morgan. I thought that was Daniel D. What's the street rapper from Chicago? Not Chief Keith? No. He says street rapper from Chicago. You really dare to dirt? Oh, a little dirt. Yeah. I did not know that was Morgan. I thought that was Daniel D. Yo. Bro, it's just so obvious to what he said. I don't know. That little kid like he... Yeah. It's riffling. Oh, my God. You don't have to name a glass below a new album, too. I'm that serious. What? It's cancel these nuts. Oh, really? Yeah. Shout out to glasses, man. All right. So let's talk about it. What's going on with you and Drake? Is this just further brilliant marketing for his album release? Yes. Yes. I told y'all this, but nobody believes me because I'm lying. But the reality of the situation is you should believe me even when I'm lying. This is just what we do. Whenever he has a certain project, a certain song, I don't think he needs it. You know what I'm saying? But... But he wants me to do it. Oh, so he'll reach out to you and be like, yo, can you trash my single? Yes. I need you to be very critical of this record. Yeah. And you know... So that I can't... Then he'll be like, I'm going to make fun of you. Because all attention is good attention. It's number one now. What do you want me to say? Oh my God. So you think it wouldn't have been number one without you doing that? No, it would have been number one regardless. It's Drake and Sizzle. You know what I'm saying? It's Drake and Sizzle. Like, that is a guaranteed... That's guaranteed to hit the charts. It was funny because I was watching the act and Act was talking about how I probably feel like nobody cares about the record because it's not on radio. That's not true though. The way these songs chart is through streams, radio play and sales. And I was looking at the numbers. You probably can pull them up because I saw it on Billboard. I think he had like 34.6 million streams, 5.4 million radio impressions because the day it came out, I heart played it every hour on the hour. You know what I'm saying? Like every top of the hour the Drake and Sizzle record played. So it wasn't even just playing on hip hop and R&B stages. It was playing on the pop stages too because he's drinking fucking Sizzle. Right. He sold 2,000 copies. He sold 2,000 copies. So I think he was like number 29 digital sales but the number one most streamed digitally. Right. Drake and Sizzle is going to have that kind of curiosity. Right. You're going to go listen to the record. Did you take exception to anything he said about you? No. He used my jokes against me. That's what I thought was quite interesting because you say that as a compliment to yourself and I don't know if you... Oh, let's be clear. Marce Chestnut says he gets mistaken for me. I don't want to get no, oh my God, Taylor. He said it himself on the Jennifer Hudson show. Try to make you feel better. You're usually going to be watching. Think about that. He's an actor. No, I just want to talk about that. I stopped myself from saying something to you. Wow. That's what I did, ma'am. All right. Okay. But yeah, this is just something that we do. And you should just believe me, even though I'm lying. And it's so funny to me. This is the funniest shit, man. I'm going to show you this, right? Look at this right here. Look at this. Look at this. I love this world that we in. I love this world that we in. Read that headline. Who's that from, first of all? That's Fader Magazine. This is... Read the headline. I can't see that's Fader because it has these ads up. Oh, Fader, Fader, Fader. The headline is, Charlemagne the God says his beef with Drake is planned. Yes. Okay. Let me show you another one. Let me show you another one. This is really good shit. I love this. I love this type of shit because it's true. They just... Hold on. It's true that it is planned. Okay. This is a good one. Hold on. Hold on. This is a better one. This is the best thing Drake could have did. This is better than any interview. K5BX. What does that say? Charlemagne the God comes clean about the Drake feud. I'm part of the album rollout. Never mind the fact that they quote me saying I'm lying. Don't worry about that. Believe me, even when I'm lying. Okay. Elaborate on this. What do you mean? So they're printing the most salacious headline, even though you said you're lying, and in the article they say that you said you're lying. Yes. But they lead with the crazy thing. Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. So true. How many years have I been telling y'all this? So true. They sat in this studio and told two lies back to back about Beyoncé, told people we were lying, and they still ran with it as the headline. You're right. And right now I'm telling y'all I'm lying, even though I'm not lying, and you should believe me, me and Drake playing this whole thing out. So what else are you doing for the rollout? This is it. This is why I always do every rollout. But there's nothing else that's special planned. Go back and do the history. Ever since after the bottles, after the back... I'm not going to sit here and say it always was like this. After the back to back bottles, that's when we started coming to this. Agreement. Yeah. Interesting. It's not the first time I've done this. Just go back and watch. Now are you getting paid for this? Is there some payola? No, it's just fun. So you're just doing it to help a buddy. Two people with six inches of humor. Six senses of humor. See? Let's see what you do. That's it. So yeah, for all the dogs, in stores of October... October what, Taylor? Yeah, October something. Would you have preferred an interview or... No. Not no. I'm not in... Never. I'd be good to have an interview with you and Drake. I'm not interested in that. Well, why? What do you mean you're not interested in the interview with Drake? Come on. I like... For what? I think I'm skip bearless to Drake's LeBron James. Oh. And I'm perfectly okay with that. Oh, wow. Oh, good. I'm perfectly okay because he gets a lot of... He gets a lot of critique from a lot of different people. You know, and I think I'm very fair now. Before I was just... I was just hate. I was just fucking with him. You know what I'm saying? I was just... Me, back in the day, I was just taking shots. Like it was funny. But I think I give a lot of fair critique. I even think... This right here, I think this was very fair critique. Oh, wait a minute. How about this record? But I don't think skip is fair to LeBron. I don't think skip is... Yeah, but I'm just using that. I don't think skip is fair to LeBron either. But you believe you're being fair to him? Now. Yeah. I think skip is fairer now. Oh, really? I don't think so. I don't know. I don't watch it. You don't have no choice but to be now. Early on in LeBron's career, a lot of the things that you could hold over LeBron's head, LeBron is surpassed. I think the reason why... You know what I mean? Skip used to get on LeBron for not being a winner. Yeah. I think the reason why I believe that you guys are in this together, even though that's a lie. It's not. Believe me when I'm lying. I know. I want to believe you when you're lying. But I think the reason why is because he picked exceptionally handsome photographs of you. I was thinking the same thing. So if he was really... Did I say that yesterday? I was like, yeah, he picked some really good pictures. Because if he was really angry, you could go get the pics of you where you look like one of those Bahamian pigs. But he showed the evolution. Like, look, he starts with this. This ain't even that bad. Your color's looking pretty good there. That was 12 years ago. By the way, I don't know if that... You've looked worse. Oh, yeah, that comes. I'm going to be honest. I didn't even remember I said that. I don't even know what you're talking about. Now the color's a little bit worse. His three sexual orientations. Gage, grade, or drape. Get out. But look at these pictures that he posted. I don't even know what this is referencing. Why are you playing this? I don't want to hear it. Stop bringing me back to that. I don't want to hear the old me. Okay, I am not... Can we go back to that? And he ain't this crazy motherfucker. Good looking him? Go to the picture where he's looking handsome. I think he deleted all of it. That's a good picture. And then there's another one where you're in the same sweater where you can see where you're very handsome. Hold up, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why would he pick the most handsome version of you? Unless you guys are in this together and this is just part of the rollout. I'm not going to sit here and tell y'all anymore. Believe me when I'm lying. We planned this out. It works. He's number one in the country. Now, do you make sure that he doesn't put an ugly picture of you up there? Is that part of the agreement? Don't all women pick their pictures before they're posted? Come on, man. What is wrong with y'all? Beautiful black woman over here. Exactly. You're the same girl. I see. Come on. Why do you say that? I am 50% woman. Yeah, welcome. He is 50% woman. Just like you're a 50% man. You're half man. You're a 50% man and woman. Yeah. You're half mother, half father. Oh, what are the ingredients that make you? Your daddy and your mama's pie. What else we got, Taylor Gang? Huh? What else we got? You're going to look at me? What happened? Taylor hit me with the loaded lux. Look at me, King. I just dissed you. Oh, what else we got? What else happened this week, man? I don't know how, but the Remy Mop Papus drama got on my timeline. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't even know why this is being discussed. I think it's because, well, let's set it up. Do you want to set it up? Yeah, here's the thing. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like talking about this. Because it's not confirmed. So it. Yeah, man. You got to, like, these people are married. And as a married man, it shows you know, this is one of the rumors I would never want out there. Got you. I respect that. No, no, no, and it's like, there's nothing to discuss except for the gospel of decision. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? When we talk about. That's respectful. Taylor and whoever, what's the guy named Travis Kelsey. We've got things we can actually look at and see and speculate. There's nothing to really speculate here other than just the gossip. Well, there's a video or there's a picture, but yeah, I hear what you're saying. I didn't see the picture. Yeah, of Remy. Yeah, Remy Malik having, you know, lunch or something. But that's because she's his entertainment manager. Yeah, that's her whole. And I think that's the other people. This Chrome 23 is Remy's league. Interesting. And this is her like this is this whole Chrome 23 freestyle thing is Remy's league. Remy is this guy's entertainment manager. You know what I'm saying? And yeah, I even when Remy did this interview and we were talking about it on Breakfast Club, I was like, yo, I like the way Remy handled it. A lot of people said that they didn't. But for me, it's just like, yo, man, when you know nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more energy. Yeah. And no matter what you say, motherfuckers aren't going to give a fuck about the words. They're going to care about what they feel. That's a good point. If they feel like, nah, Remy did that shit. It don't matter what she says. So why give it any energy whatsoever? Even if she comes out and be like, yo, this shit ain't true. Even though I've heard, I thought I saw her tweet that. You know what I mean? But it's just like, I know if that was me, I wouldn't want my my significant other talking about it in no way, shape or form. Yeah. Regardless of what went down. Yeah. That's that's just me. That's just my personal opinion. Ten is it is, you know, I know people will be upset. Like, why don't y'all want to talk about that? It's just like, man, when it comes to shit like that marriage and gospel infidelity. Come on, man. Did you watch the battle? I did. And what'd you think? Bro. Oh, did you see rap them battle? There's a guy that was doing the earlier thing called rap them. You didn't have to repeat it. You didn't have to repeat it. Oh, is this close? How close? How close? I was right there. I was right there. Like, I was right there. I'm like, right there. I was right there. And I was like, and then I heard it. And I heard it in my head. I heard it in my head. I heard it. I heard it. I heard it. Who did who did you think won the battle? Who did I think won the battle? I mean, I only saw I really only saw one person rap. I saw the guy rapping, talking about who made the allegation. Yeah, I only saw him. What else we got to tell the gang? I'm glad us just stopped himself from serenading Gabriel Union. Yeah, that was funny. Due to Duane Wade. But you know what he's disrespectful because he said knowing how we feel about him, he knows exactly who to sing to when we come see his show in October. Wow. All right, I'm just telling you, I already told him. I said, all right, I should, you're going to be singing to all of us. Oh yeah, we're going to do a Boys Not Out. He's singing to all of us. How do we do the Boys Not Out? How do we organize that? Get with an LGBTQ organization. Oh yeah. But no gay is to make it weird. Can't be any gay is to make it weird. It's got to be all straight men going to see Usher. Because if a gay guy's there. But you don't know if the guys are straight or not? No, but if a gay guy's there, then it doesn't count. It's not weird that a guy is hitting on a gay guy because that's what gay people do. What's weird is two straight dudes singing love songs to each other because we're straight. That's what makes it awesome. Yeah. Bless you God. What was that? What was that? Write it out the wrong. He'd be dead? Listen, this is interest. Yes. Well, all of a sudden, Chris, he's got cold. Chris comes to work for the least amount for Asian I've ever met in my entire life. Have you ever met an Asian that misses more work than Chris, bro? Have you ever met an Asian that misses? When he runs out of sneakers, he stops coming to work. That's Chris's rule. He's so stupid, man. Yo, talk to premium Pete. Get yourself six new pairs of sneakers so we can do this goddamn podcast together, Chris. Listen, this has become an interesting conversation. Bobby, what's Bobby's last name? I'll talk. I'll talk. Offset is appearing on the latest episode of Bobby I'll talk. Would Bobby have a podcast? A YouTube show? Yes, podcast. OK. Can we hear this exchange? Because I saw some very interesting things said about this exchange. Because you're Taylor. No, it's not me. It's because you're Taylor, yo. Yo, her being upset at herself. Her being upset at herself. Unbelievable. Dang. Dang. Because you would think you haven't ready to go. You'd think he'd try all the clips, play them all, on this TV. You do. That's the question. I interview people. Why? Because I want to get to know them. Why do you want to get to know me? I didn't. You did. Your team reached out to mine. Don't cap. That's not cap about that. That's not put. That's not flex for the ground. Uh-oh. C.A.P. Flag on the play. Cap. What was that? Are you trying to make a song right now? No, it was Cap. Okay. I honestly don't know how this came about. I'm not going to lie to you. Me either. Okay. My team could have reached out to yours. I'm not going to. I don't want to make you look bad. They had to show me who Bobby was. I thought there was somebody Bobby Boucher. Never heard of Offset. The water? Yes, you have. I have not. I googled you on the way here. And I read something about you. I had to go on TikTok. I couldn't even Google you. Can I? Thank you. I was, I had to go. TikTok search. I couldn't Google you. Google's not there yet. You're not there yet. But you'll be there. But you're on TikTok. But they both know what they're doing. This is the point of the interview. I would give Bobby a little bit of advice, if I may. I don't know how long this is sustainable because it never truly is for anybody. For anybody, for people who do what she does, you can go look at the history of it. For people who do what she does, even when they act informed, it's not sustainable because after a while the joke is kind of up. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, what is so awesome about these interviews initially is it's like Ali G or something like that. Yeah. It's not very common. It's like the people don't know, so they succumb to the moment. That's right. Now they know. They go unprepared. They might be defensive. So I don't think that it stops necessarily. But what you have to do is up the joke level. So it's like the joke used to be, this person is in this incredibly awkward interview and didn't know. And then the whole thing is this beautiful cringe fest. So, but now what you have to do is what Zach Alfinakis did with Between Two Ferns, which is. Be informed. But also write bits. So he would write jokes for the guests and for himself. And he would surprise the guests with the jokes. And all of a sudden, now the guest knows they're in this awkward thing, but you're still catching them off guard because you've got an offensive joke that you're our offensive question that you're asking him. Now, I think her style is a little bit different. But I agree with you once the, once the guest is in on the. Yeah. On the stick, it might need another level up. And I think we're saying the same thing. Basically, she's got to be more prepared. To me, this ain't gonna last but for so long. Because I don't think she's good with conflict. Meaning like when somebody starts pushing back at her, I don't think she's witty enough, fast enough to be able to go with it. What you're saying about Zach is great. I haven't watched her. I've watched her clips, obviously. Like I watched this stuff with Drake and... But like... The full interview, she doesn't do well. Interesting. I believe that. But the interview is supposed to be uncomfortable and awkward. That is the design of the interview. But for the guest. Yeah, the guest. When it starts looking, when the host starts looking uncomfortable and awkward, now the jig is up. I think that's also part of the gig is that she's uncomfortable. Why would you bring this person on your house, have him sitting on your couch, a lane in your bed? To do an uncomfortable, awkward interview. I think this is the generation of people that grew up watching The Office. And The Office kind of epitomized like Crin Schumer. Where you have somebody who is behaving in a way that's really uncomfortable and awkward, but they don't realize they're being uncomfortable and awkward. I like informed, uncomfortable and awkward. Sure, sure. I'm just saying that I think this generation saw that and they were like, this is the funniest thing. So that's what funny is. Our generation came up on In Living Color, it came up on Jim Carrey, it came up on The Kings of Comedy, where people were actively trying to be funny and then it was funny. Whereas this generation is, they're pretending they're not trying to be funny and because of that it is. So I think there is a little disconnect generationally. So I wonder if younger people watch this and they're like, oh my God, this is the best fucking interview. Look how awkward it is. I'm sitting in this cringe fest. And we look at it and we're like, ah, you got to have some zingers. You got to have some lines. You got to have something. Yeah, I'm not mad at it. Right. I'm not mad at it. I've just seen these type of characters enough to know it's not sustainable. That's why all of these, all of those shows come and go. But they're good. They have a lot of impact when they're on, but they don't last. Jamel Hill said, I don't find these types of interviews particularly enjoyable or interesting. Instead, it just sadly points out how real hip hop journalism has been practically erased. Some of the media teams behind these artists aren't interested in them sitting down with credible people who know how to tell stories and do quality interviews. Then they wonder why an artist's real story goes untold, neglected, or that artist is misunderstood. I disagree with that take because I feel like people go to Bobby to just have fun, to show another side. That's not who I go to to sit down to have one of those real and intriguing interviews. She's looking at through the wrong lens. Yeah, I can go to rap radar. 100%. I can sit with LENMB. And then go to Bobby. I can go to Sway and then go sit with Bobby. I can go sit with Angie Martinez and then go joke around with Bobby. Yeah, 100%. I think I just figured something out. Right now, most people are digesting first-generation content on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or IG Reels. And an awkward, uncomfortable interview like this is going to create the most cringe-worthy TikToks, IG Reels, YouTube Shorts that are going to go the most viral. An in-depth, beautiful, curious interview is not going to create a 30-second moment, as likely, where you're like, oh my God, this is going to explode all over the internet. But these awkward interviews are going to curate the content that explodes all over the internet, which is cringe-worthy interactions. This is really popular. So the style- Yeah, cringe is in. Cringe is in. So the style- That's why all my old clips won't die. So the style is successful in creating clippable content, and because of that, it will continue to proliferate the internet. Yeah, I mean, listen, as long as artists keep going up there, she's always going to make these kind of waves. You know what I'm saying? I think he's really aware of the culture. You know what I mean? Like, he just did the stream with Kai. They did like a 24-hour stream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was great. And it felt from the things I was watching from the stream, and that's another thing with streaming, 24-hour streaming. You can clip the funny little awkward moment that is unplanned. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That can be so easily taken out. And the cool thing about that is, it felt like Offset was a fan of Kai and aware of the culture, and he was in on it. He wasn't begrudgingly doing an interview. He was there like, yo, we're going to create some moments, and this is good. And the same thing is kind of happening with this. So he's aware of internet culture. I wonder if that stuff translates into record sales and stuff. So the tricky- I've been meaning to ask you about this. Maybe we discussed it already. If we discussed it already, my bad. But Burnaboy, right? Has an album that comes out. Okay? Prior to this album coming out, he's selling out stadiums. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, this is, we're talking about one of the biggest music acts in the world. Stadiums. Not stadiums where he's from. Stadiums here. Album comes out, and I think it does maybe $55,000 or something like that. In America. Yeah. And it was in America. No, Dodgy Cat was $55,000. And I forgot how much Burnaboy was. I would look. But you would think for an act this big that the number would be bigger. And I think it was Russ who said, this is evidence that labels are buying streams. Duh. So you're saying duh? I'm a casual, bro. I'm like, I can't believe people are doing this. So when I say things, like, when I say things like, yo, you see a song, and a song might hit number one. But you don't really feel it. Like, all I'm saying is nowadays. You can buy a number one is what you're saying. Now, back in the day. You can manipulate a number one. Back in the day, you could also buy a number one and manipulate a number one. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And this is the number one thing that the record labels want. What they want is control of the outcome of their projects, right? That's why they had the labels and the connections to you guys. And they were trying to do Paola back in the day for people who don't know. They were trying to pay off DJs to play records. And because they feel, if you can get a record out there enough, it can reach escape velocity and it'd be good. Now, with streaming, for a moment, with SoundCloud and all those rappers, they had no control and they're freaking out. Now, it looks like if you can buy streams and you can make a number one go, anybody can be quote, unquote, number one, but we don't know if it's actually real. And this burner boy thing is evidence that, like, this guy had stadium sold out and if he's doing 55K, something's off, no? Duh. That's all I've been saying. Maybe I'm saying the most obvious thing. Sorry. No, no, no, no, no. You're not saying the most obvious thing. You're just saying what a lot of people don't necessarily say. Well, this is Russ. I saw that. Did you see the response? Russ is fucking on it. That motherfucker's been on it for the last 10 years about the music industry. There's another thing to that too. I do think that, and I say this to Cardi all the time. If I was Cardi, I would never drop another album. Two singles? I would single the game to death because I don't know if people care about whole bodies of work, like they used to. You know that? I've said this. Now, if you're Kendrick Lamar, you could put out a whole body of work because Kendrick don't put out a lot of music. It's people to care about the body of work. That's right. But if you are somebody who just put out singles that's not a cohesive unit, I agree with you. And you can hold culture for longer. That's right. Drop it. Loki, you know who did this? 6ix9ine. 6ix9ine was doing song, song, song, song, song. And the songs were charting. And it wasn't until he dropped an album that I think it didn't do as well or whatever. But still, it's like you had culture when you were dropping song. I think there's album artists. Some artists are just built for albums. And then I think they're single stars. You know what I mean? And I think that might even be the case with Doja Cat. And Doja had a great rollout. She had a phenomenal rollout, an actual rollout. And Paint the Time Red was number one. It's number two this week. And you could tell, Paint the Time Red is a real number one record. You hear it out and about. You hear it in the clubs. You hear it coming from cars. You know what I'm saying? Like you know people fuck with that record. The video got like 70 plus million views on YouTube. Like you know people fuck with that record. She's number two this week. But her album only sold 55,000 copies. So you're like, what the fuck gives? So maybe that's the real number. Like that 55,000 around that ballpark. That's probably real numbers. And then everything else is inflated. Everything else is probably inflated. Or maybe the 55,000 is the real number for that album. But the single people just like singles. Like people might just want to hear a song. Like they might not want to hear the whole body of work. Oh, of course. Of course. I'm just saying like Al's going, what is a metric for success? And if a major artist gets 55,000 and then this and then Doja dropped and it got 55,000, who's also a major artist. You go, maybe that's what success is. When we were growing up, it was a million, right? It went platinum. Now, and then it started to fluctuate. And I think we came to an understanding like between 100 and 200 is really successful. Maybe it's more like 55 and then a lot of things have been bought or they're selling those like package. The merchants and the merchant and all that. But even with somebody like Doja, I know Doja can probably still sell out a venue. Easy. You know, and we know Burnaboy definitely still selling out arenas all over the country. That's the tricky thing because the hardest thing to do is get people to come out to your show. It is not hard to get people to click a link and then listen to your music. That's easy. Getting people to put clothes on, get a babysitter, get in the fucking Uber, buy all those tickets. That's hard. And we got to start like that. That's what I mean when I be saying it. We know when people- I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Charlotte. Care about us all. I'm sorry. You're telling me that Burnaboy put 80,000 people in a stadium and only 55,000 of those people that came out to see him bought his album. That's what I'm saying. Something's off. Something's off. Something's off. That's all I'm simply saying. But you can feel it though. 30,000 of those people that went out to go see him were like, I don't need to look at the new album. I don't buy it. How they're judging the streams is weird. I'm trying to tell you. Something is off. I'm trying to tell you. Why aren't people having this conversation? They are. Well, because they're tied to the labels and they want the benefit of the label. They want the label to pump their shit. They want the label to make them go number one. Why would they expose themselves? J Cole Ben said- He said- What did he say? Oh, J Cole. Orders picking their streams. They ain't as big as they seem. Like, people been saying shit like this. This is. But that's not- Like, that is talking about it. But why aren't radio? Why aren't more artists speaking up? Like, I- But I think to Andrew's point, it's like nobody wants to- Radio's not their business. Yeah, and radio, to be honest with you, man, you can have conversations with radio people. The only thing they can be responsible for is what they do. Like, Drake had 5.4 million impressions. Why? Because Drake and SZA work for radio. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, they work for radio. When it comes to the streams, they ain't only got nothing to do with that. You know? But they all go hand in hand. But if you can, you know, get 40, 50 million streams of a record, and then another couple, 3 million impressions on radio, you're going to chart. Hi. You know what I'm saying? And listen. You probably will have a number one record. Every single industry tries to create some form of control. When I say control, I don't mean like, they want to control the people. They want to control their ability to generate revenue, because it's security and safety. For them. It's a very normal thing. For example, I'm sure there's rules that say you can't just open a bank. Right? Who does that benefit? The banks that are already open. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's rules that say you can't even be a barber in New York unless you get a license. Who does that help? The people already barber, right? So you create some sort of moat. In music, they have these stars that are signed to these big deals that they have to recoup that money. How can they're going to grab us some water? How can we make sure? Thank you so much, Tyler. You just gave it to me right now. How can we make sure? Thank you, dear. I got it. Thank you. How can we make sure that they can protect their investment by having fail safes? Oh, we don't have a number one song, really? Or we don't have a number one album? Well, let's make it a number one, because the fact that it is number one makes other people want to listen to it. I know when I go on Spotify and I find someone who I haven't heard of before, you know what I do? First thing I do, I go for their most played song. Yeah. I just go out the number. If somebody's watching a stand-up clip from me, they probably go to my most viewed stand-up clip, my most viewed special. That number does influence people. And let the record show there are a lot of artists who have rapid built-in fan bases that whatever they drop, people are going to go consume. You know what I'm saying? Drake is one of those. Nicki Minaj is one of those. Kendrick Lamar is one of those. Jay Cole is one of those. Jay Cole is one of those. Beyonce? Beyonce is definitely one of those. Taylor? You know what I mean? Oh, come on. Taylor can drop the music. She already dropped. Oh, yeah. Taylor Swift, definitely one. Nobody else could do it. 100%. She couldn't drop the music. She already dropped. She hasn't. No, she hasn't. No, Taylor. We got to be honest with this one, Mark. No, she hasn't. Taylor, and they didn't do it. Taylor put out a same album with the old songs. And that's just a million copies. I hate having to win these artists. Win these artists. But some people just have those rapid built-in fan bases that's going to immediately stream whatever. And once radio gets ahold of the record and plays that shit every hour on an hour, they're going to be through the roof. But it is very hard to tell what's what nowadays. And that's exactly how I would want it if I was in control. I would want the ability to manipulate things in the favor of my artists, which put more money in my coffers, right? I wouldn't want everything to be left up to chance. Yeah. It's the same reason why you probably sign music producers, right? Like you have an exclusive deal with, I don't know, what is it called? Like I imagine if you have a really good music producer, a label, maybe a label goes, hey, we would like to sign your exclusivity so you just work for all our artists. Of course, because if you know that they're great at creating songs, you want to find a way to protect that brilliant creation. How can you just create for us? That's successful. Yes, it might be an overall streaming thing because like even look at the TV streamers, they are funny with the numbers. They don't give a damn. They'll double let you see the numbers. That's why I'm so interested about this writer strike. Bro, bro, bro. And what terms did they come to? Real also on the streaming thing. On Twitter, you could see Tucker Carlson show. The numbers are astronomical. I'm not saying that he's not, those are fake numbers, but they could count literally just viewing it in the scroll as a number, which is kind of like what TikTok is too. You see it for a second, you scroll, you still count it, but they have the ability to put it on everybody's scroll. So they can essentially create whatever fucking numbers they want. What they do have a music too, like you could take a single or an album. Put it on every playlist. Put it at the top of every playlist. Like what the fuck? There's some hip hop albums you see on gospel playlists. And what if you own the playlist? It's like, come on, bro. We know what the fuck's going on. What if you own the playlist? That's the thing. Or what if you don't own the place, but you're doing Payola with the playlist? You telling me that they're not doing some Payola to what's the big play? You don't think some people are getting some form of handshake? No, definitely. So, I mean. I don't know if it's specifically. Let's say it's not. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. Whoever's curated it. The actual service, screaming service, they wouldn't. They wouldn't, right? Yeah. Well, I don't fucking know. I don't want to accuse people of stuff like that. You know what I mean? But there is some funny business going on. You would hope that they wouldn't. Let's say they wouldn't. But it wouldn't be surprising if offers had been made. Yeah, absolutely. Our exchanges. Simple as that. Hey, we'll have our artists perform at. Simple as that. This event or whatever. You know what I mean? Like, things like that happen, man. We're talking about music right now. Okay? Let's put this into context. If a drug company wants your doctor to recommend a heart medication to you. He takes your doctor on a vacation. He sends your doctor to the Bahamas. He gives your doctor Super Bowl tickets. And then in exchange for that, it's kind of known that you're going to start prescribing this heart medication. If people are willing to do that for your life, you don't think they're willing to do that for a song. That's right. That's right. And that's all you got to do is just pay attention. Those same charts, just pay attention. What does that mean? Will it be there next week? Oh. Are those times when you see shit come out and just like five songs in the top 10 from one album or something like that, then next week they're all just gone. You know what I'm saying? Oh, wow. You know what I mean? Just pay attention. That's all. That's all you got to do. Because a lot of times nowadays, like I said, you have some artists who have rapid fan bases and curiosity. You say rapid one more time. It's rabid. What's rapid? The testing for COVID? Oh, rapid. So you have people who have rabies fan bases. And when you have these rabies fan bases, like they'll run out, curiosity, makes them go check the music out, screams up, and that counts. You know what I mean? But then what happens next week? Yes, there's longevity to it. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'll be saying, man. Yeah, rapid is like there's white water rapids or rapid is really fast. And rabid is this.

You know, Travis Kelsey kind of looks like... She's still on it. If he was black. I don't even know what Taylor said. Just nobody does. Love Travis Kelsey so much. No, I'm saying not bad. Does anybody know what Taylor just said? She's trying to find a replacement. If Travis Kelsey black, he'll be jailed and hurt. If Travis, she said if Travis Kelsey was black, she said if Travis Kelsey was black, he'd be jailed and hurt. Yeah, once again, I don't know what the fuck Taylor's talking about, man. None of us do. What asking idiots we got, Taylor? Let's see here. If you could trade lives with someone for one week, who would you trade with? Shotzi? His wife so he could date him. Yeah, no. God, that's so weird. Like, what would I trade one week? I wouldn't trade lives with nobody because I love me and me. Not Taylor Swift? Well, so I could get fucked by Travis Kelsey? What if that's the week that person dies? Yeah. Is it a wrap for you two? Oh, shit. If you die in that character, you are. That's what I'm saying. You know what I mean? Is it a wrap for you two? No. And then what if you die is that person and you get to heaven, but your spirit is what's been keeping the record of your life. So now you might have been this pure person. And then boom. But you got this spirit in you that's committed a lot of sins. So God is judging you based off the spirit. God's like, Daddy, when did you do all of this? I've been watching you all the time. When did you do all of this? Yeah. You know? So yeah, I wouldn't trade lives with nobody. I'm happy being me. That's the reason why though. Yeah, that's a fantastic reason. OK, what else? Question is for you, Taylor. Empty chat text says, if you could try any animal meat, illegal or legal, what would you try? You should try Taylor specifically. OK, why? Why? I don't know what he had. He didn't say Taylor. Have you tried bear? Oh, that says empty chair tech. I'm sorry. That's empty chair tech. Oh my bad. Have you tried bear before? Or or venison? It's good. Or sugon? It's really good. Have you tried that? Why are you looking at me like that? I got mine just related. What? It's not a joke. I'm waiting to hear what you say, crazy human. That's so good. Have you tried sugon? What? Sugon. Yo, Taylor, how you got caught? I knew right when I said what. How the hell you got caught like that? Taylor's like, what Asian dish is that? Yo. Sugon. I've tried a lot of animal meats. I don't even know what to tell you. Yeah? What's your favorite? Bear shoulder. Have you really tried bear shoulder? Yeah, I had. Did you fry it? No, I wasn't fried. I had bear shoulder in West Virginia. I had squirrel dumplings. I've had deer meat. What else have I tried? Frog legs. Oh, I've had frog legs. Frog legs are good. Frog legs are really good. You know what's surprisingly good? Rabbit teeth. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I really be trying to be right there, too. I know. You're so excited. You're so excited. You're so excited. Oh, my God. Who's there? Who's there? Oh, my God. All right. What else we got, Taylor? What animal would you want to try? I would like to try, what about some dinosaur meat? Oh, that'd probably be good as well. Yeah. Yeah, man. Like some dinosaur meat would be fine. That should probably be good. Yeah. Some brontosaurus. You know what I mean? Some T-Rex or something like that. T-Rex would be good as well. That little T-Rex chicken wing. I think dolphin would be good. Dolphin? They do. Don't they have that? Isn't that in the tuna sometimes? I don't eat tuna. Oh, you don't? Really? Why not? He's doing a smug. You hear that? We hear that? Hey, we hear that. What kind of lesbian are you? Hey, you'll light it. You hear that? Taylor, what kind of lesbian are you? Taylor, what kind of lesbian are you? I don't know, but you're tight. What kind of lesbian are you? Right here. Right here. Right here. I thought you was a real lesbian all of this time. Taylor, Jamaican. You know what I'm saying? You have the smell stopped, Taylor. You're ain't a real lesbian, yo. You have the power to rap. You're ain't real, yo. Power to rap. You have the power to rap. You have the power to rap. Breathe out your mouth. You have a vacation lesbian, yo. Yo, Dex Wilder says, Shalame, what are your thoughts on the theory of industry plants in music? Doesn't exist, shut up. Yo, now you don't need to plant them. Now that you can fuck with the streams. But there's no such thing as an industry plant. Oh, I hear it. What would an industry plant be doing? What's the point of an industry plant? Someone we look at that doesn't have that much talent and then all of a sudden, they just pop really quickly. And usually those people tend to not stay around. We say these things about who we think doesn't have talent and we forget one thing and one thing only and that's talent is subjective. So what you don't like doesn't mean millions of other people don't. That's just the reality of the situation, you know? So it's just like, anybody you name, there's an audience for it, period. There's not one person you can name who there's not an audience for. I thought industry plant also was whoever they're connected to. That's why they're saying I should fight. If that's the case, we're all industry plants. Yeah. Everybody who's not an industry plant, everybody's connected to somebody in some way, shape, or form. Okay, this isn't music, but say the girl we were talking about earlier, Bobby Altoff. Like they say she's an industry plant because she just started podcasting and her first or second guess was Drake. No, y'all just started paying attention to her. No, no, no, she's just been on TikTok popping. No, she's been on TikTok popping, but she just started a podcast. Which most people are doing, listen, man, most people don't get Drake on their second episode. No, but she had some very successful episodes and my assumption is that Drake was like, oh, shit, this girl's going crazy on the internet. If we did an episode, it would go crazy and this is just gonna help continue to fuel the release of the signs of the same agency. Who's the one that drinks best friends? Yachty. But Yachty did it after. Yeah, he did. No, Yachty did it before. No, no, no, no, I did it after. He called and during Yachty's interview, he Drake called and was like, yeah, I just did hers. Yeah, Yachty came out first. No, no. Y'all show up out this yachty. 100%, 100%. But I remember seeing Yachty before that. But they're signed to the same agency. Who? Who is? Drake and Bobby Atos. Yeah, but these agencies have thousands of... But I mean, you don't think that makes it easier to possibly get somebody like, hey, we're trying to make this girl pop. I'm signed to the same agency as LeBron. We haven't had LeBron on the pot. You know what I mean? There can be a message sent to an agent, but it doesn't mean it's gonna go. There has to be, this girl was undeniably blowing up the internet. You gotta give her credit for that. And then other people see that they're blowing up the internet and then they go, well, I got a project coming out. I need to blow up the internet. This work. That's my assumption. No, Yachty did it for us, y'all. No. Yeah, Yachty did it in July. Drake did it in August. No. I'm looking at it right now. I'm looking at it right now. Drake's got taken down. Drake's got taken down in August. He took it down a week after it went up? No. But I'm saying- Guarantee. I don't think you're right about this one. They might just quit Drake's out, but Yachty definitely- No, no, no, no. Drake's was out first. Drake's was out first. 100%. I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The other way around. I don't fucking know. All right, next one. What else we got? Okay, how do I get rid of my sneaky link of six years? He does not want to leave me alone. Well, you should've been letting him hit raw. Yeah, if he's- If he's letting him hit raw, you're sucking his dick. You're eating his ass. You was eating his ass. Eating his ass. You're doing that shit for six fucking years and not saying nothing? Now you want him just to leave you alone? Why you want him to leave you alone all of a sudden? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You got to give him a reason why you taking that good, good back. That's true. You got to get married or something. Yeah, that's not a sneaky link. That's just a point. Well, she might have been cheating. That's the point she's not saying. She might have been cheating. Now she want to be a faithful black queen. You know what I'm saying? Now she want to be faithful and she don't want her sneaky link anymore. Yeah, that's fucked up, bro. Yeah, you fucked up. You fucked up. How do you get rid of just don't call him anymore? Tell him not to come over. Like, it's very easy. That's a whole other relationship, by the way. Yeah, that's a relationship. If you've been fucking somebody else for six years, I know you're unprotected. Like I said, I know you're sucking dick. I know you're eating ass. If you've been doing that shit for six years- That's a relationship. I want to tell your husband on you. Yo, low key. Whoever you sneaky leaking around on, I want to tell that person on you. I mean, she put her Instagram on here. Jackqueens underscore AKUA. Jackqueen, J-A-C-Q-U-E-E-N-S underscore AKUA. Whoever your king is needs to be informed of your behavior. Now maybe you've told him. That's why you have no problem letting us know what's going on. So I will say to your sneaky link, hey, Jackqueens underscore AKUA is asking the brilliant idiots for help. That's how you know she's desperate. Okay? Sneaky link only requires we have a relationship though. Cause whether she's like messing around with her boss and she want no one else to know or something. Yeah, that could be a sneaky link. So how do we know it's not that? Did we put a button on the industry plant conversation? Put one on. Cause it is interesting though, but I do think what Bobby had a following on TikTok. Yes. This I know. Yes. And I think that some people just pay attention to more of that than others. And like, yo, you may not, we may not have heard of Bobby, but if Bobby's over on TikTok, getting millions of views. Exactly. That don't mean Drake or whoever didn't know who she was. I think we're cool. So he decided, I'm gonna go sit down with this person. That's just a personal decision, a personal choice like, and she took off. Like those are the things you hope for as a media personality. All right. You hope that you're making enough noise that somebody decides, you know what? I wanna come sit down with said individual. Like all you need is one to take you to that next level. It happens. You know, I can look at somebody like even Looney with the It's Up There podcast. Like little baby decided to go to Looney's show cause he was a personal fan of Looney's show. Cause he was listening to Looney's show cause he liked what Looney was talking about. So he decided, hey, I wanna go sit with that person when my album comes out. Yo, that's the area that we're in. A label can't make you do anything. Your manager can't make you do anything. Your agent can't make you do anything. You go do the shows that you feel comfortable doing cause the reality is it don't matter where a little baby goes to sit. You gonna go check for that interview. It don't matter where Drake goes to sit. You gonna go check for that interview, you know? So once something like that happens, you out of here. You out of here. Yeah, that's tricky. Yeah, but I don't think there's any such thing as an industry playing cause I don't even know what the fucking point would be. Let's do two more. Ooh, this is a good one. DJ Mike Torch says, how do you guys stay sane when you are being attacked by the media? That's easy. Okay, how? Don't open your phone? Yeah, number one, don't open your phone, but number two, you have to understand attacks are gonna happen. That's the area where- Part of the game. Let me ask y'all a question. I wanna ask you this question, DJ Mike Torch and everybody listening. When you ever seen somebody getting loved on by the media? Bro. That's so rare. Ain't no clicks in that, bro. I don't care who you are. You just have to understand that the love 95% of the time outweighs whatever hate that you're getting. Also, keep in mind, from those articles that you brought up from reputable sources, they're not even really looking into what you're saying. It's just, how can we dunk on somebody who's dunking is what gets clicked. We were talking about this on a podcast yesterday. I actually have a theory that the media media has a certain amount, the people that work there, the journalists, might have a certain amount of impressions they have to hit in the same way that a cop has a certain amount of tickets they have to give out. Apps of fucking loot, Lee. So I would love to see somebody do a study where they track the most salacious hit pieces to the end of the quarter when they need to hit their impressions. And I bet you, this is what I'm assuming, I bet you towards the end of the quarter when you need to see the impressions, all of a sudden here comes the Elon Musk hit piece. All of a sudden here comes the Charlemagne hit piece, the Rogan hit piece. All of a sudden here comes the Dave Portnoy hit piece. The people that they know that they can get clicks out of, that are guaranteed clicks. The Kanye, well Kanye do it to himself, but sure. But it's like, they're like, oh, I need to get my impressions, here I can go to the well. That's why the best thing to do sometimes, if you're a person that's being attacked, don't acknowledge it, because of what exactly what Sho said. Because, all right, you put that out there, you're gonna get your shit, but I'm not gonna put no fuel on this fire. You're not gonna get no clicks from me being able to say Charlemagne, respond to such and such. I'll respond to shit that benefits me. And sometimes it might benefit you to clear the air, right? Never. See, I disagree. I think that with Portnoy, right? He will go back 100% on anybody who says anything about him, right? But the angle that he's going with is, I have to rectify the image of me that they have now tainted. Whereas- He can't change it though. But he can change it? Never shows it's never worked. No, I disagree. I usually agree with you, but the way he handled this last situation, it changed my outlook on that. Because he made the media look like, oh, this is some corrupt- Dave Portnoy, he owns Barcel. He got wind that they were doing a hit piece on him, right? Calls the girl who's writing the hit piece, records it live and just shows her flubbing over her words. Oh no, we didn't mean to send that out. Oh no, no, no. And he's like, were you gonna give me a fair shake? Like, were you gonna end up, oh yeah, we were gonna do that? And I'm like, why did you say all these horrible things to me to our sponsors? That's just a journalistic tactic because we wanted to elicit a type of response like exposes their whole game. Sure, and I'm not saying that's wrong, but there's plenty of people out there who feel like Dave Portnoy is racist. That's not gonna change. But it changed- When people have their mind made up about you, but to your point, you can stop a media outlet from putting some shit out about you. You can do that. But once people have a perception of you, they're not changing that. Yeah, and I think what he's doing now is like, he's not letting that perception happen. Go any further. Exactly. It's gonna happen regardless. So the people that are gonna hate you are gonna hate you 100%. But at least the people that know you can consume your side of the story. And now we have the power to put that out if we care. I agree with you. People that fuck what you're gonna, they already know your side of the story. I agree with you. You don't respond to everything and you should respond to the things that you do. And I agree with you. That is the correct strategy. But there are always moments where you're, there are always gonna be moments where you're like, okay, I need to clear this up. And the beautiful thing about having podcasts is we can do that now. Back in the day- Yeah, that shit is like herpes, bro. I'm like- What do you mean? He ain't no clearing it up. No, no, no. I'm saying like, let's say for example, right? I'm learning the worst place for your reputation to live in somebody's imagination. And we live in this era where noble, we always say that feelings over facts, but truth be told, nobody gives a fuck about truth. How I feel about Andrew's show is how I feel. No, no, no, I don't care what y'all say. He's this. Oh, no, no, no, I don't care what you say about Charlemagne. He's this. Like once people have their mind made up, their mind is made up and there's nothing you can do to change it. I actually laugh at people who are master manipulators who put certain narratives out there about people and then people on the internet run with it. I literally, I'm not even joking. I sit back at home and I laugh my ass off. And to answer Mike Torch's question again, the reason it don't bother me because I know the truth about me. That's the other thing. The more that you know the truth about you, I think the specific question- Well, is it- How do you guys stay sane? I think the first thing is, if you're being accused of anything or people are painting you in a certain light, do they have any validity? If they don't, then you're good. And if they're portraying you in a certain way, make sure you know why you said that thing and you can defend why you said that once. You know why you said it and you can defend it to yourself. That's right. For me, I realize it's easy because the second I ever get asked it, slam dunk, free throw live bang. Nobody knows you like you. That's it. Nobody knows me like me. So not to rehash this and I know it wasn't the media but let's say with the Remi Ma situation. The guy puts out some alludes to her cheating. If she doesn't say anything, now everybody's just running wild with this thing. And people are already running wild with it but I think it helps the fact that at least she's come out and said this is a lot. Because if she was quiet about it- Two things about that. Number one, even if she says it's a lie, it's gonna be a whole bunch of people that say no, she's lying. But number two- Bro, that's- I did see that too. Who is that for? The only person she owes any explanation to is her husband. But you think if she don't say nothing? Who is that for, though, Alex? Yeah, but her husband might also care what people think. It's very normal for people to care what other people think. That we are communal creatures and our reputation within the group is always gonna be valuable to us. So- But what if he doesn't, though? And if he doesn't, that's beautiful and that they have a very strong love and that's awesome. The thing that what you were saying is, sometime to back up Charlotte's point is like, even when she came out and said, nah, that's just battle rap, they're just doing whatever. They were- It's true. Which is true. There were even people who went, nah, she's lying right now. So it just proves what they felt is something bad. Even with facts, they were still disregarding the facts. And also too, man, if I'm- But I hear what you're saying. It's like, but for the people that feel that she is still loyal, she didn't cheat, that was enough for them to be like, okay, she's good. And then if she didn't say anything, those people- She's not even gonna say anything. I'm gonna ask y'all this once again though. Who is that explanation for? That's the other thing. We don't owe nobody, none of these motherfuckers an explanation about- If your husband is significant, other feels embarrassed and they want that to be clarified. Let me ask you a question. God forbid, God forbid. Don't even say it. Yeah. Don't even say it. Look at Dylan Dennis and Logan Paul with and all this stuff Dylan Dennis is putting out about Logan Paul's fiance. Like he needs to come out and say something because I'm sure that's affecting their house back at home. He's selling a fight. I'm probably going to knock his fucking ass out. Yeah, but clearly it's bothering her because she needed to sue and do an auto protection. Logan's saying that I'm gonna fuck him up. When you sue him, handle that that way. And then when I get in the ring, I'm gonna beat this dog shit out of you. But he also- He said it earlier in breakfast club. But Kiki Palmer, you said that she's saying mind your business of her and her boyfriend or whatever together. That's not a rumor. She was asked a direct question about her and her boyfriend. And Kiki said, mind your business. You say, are they together? But I'm gonna tell you why that's Nell and Voight. He was in the video with usher. If it was just the dancing at the show, cool. Yeah, telling people mind their business. But you did a whole video with usher. Did your man feel a way about that? That's a valid question. I think that's a very, very valid question. But to say this, I would come back around about this. If your woman cheated on you. Would you care more about whether she, oh no, if there was a rumor that your woman cheated on you. Would you care more about, did she actually cheat on you? Or what everybody thought about it? Of course, if it actually happened. Exactly. Once I know the truth, I don't give a fuck what y'all motherfuckers think. That's, you're at a place where you can do that. There's a lot of place people that are gonna be very sensitive to public perception. And I understand- That's insecurity for no reason. Because if it don't affect your bank account- I'm a Pilar insecure for no reason, too. You know this. I'm with you, but if it don't affect your bank account, if it's not affecting your career, if it's not affecting your business, who cares what these nosy ass motherfuckers do? I definitely don't ask it, though. Because that's your wife. That's your wife, that's your supposed to. That's your wife. I don't care what the fucking tweet. I need you to go on Twitter right now to tell everybody you ain't cheating on me. You fucking idiot. But that's saying that happened way. As soon as you do that, you'll be like, oh yeah, they did it. They did it. Why would they be getting online to tell everybody they didn't if they did? 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 brilliance of this podcast. Thank you for listening.
